Naruto and Hinata's Wedding (part 1)

This is long fic, and it's not necessarily about Naruto or Hinata, but about what happened behind the scenes of their marriage. Stories don't count, come with me to a new world of possibilities.

I was lying on a hill, watching the clouds pass slowly, reflecting on my life. My parents died fighting Kyuubi 17 years ago, I was a year my aunt, and at seven was already living alone. I sat among the flowers, looked down, seeing how beautiful the village looked in the spring. Everything was so perfect. I was happy, right? 17 years old graduated as a leaf row jounning with a beautiful house and friends. Was everything in order so why was I questioning myself so much? I took a deep breath and decided to go home. I went down the hill, meeting Naruto, Hinata and Neji. The first two were already holding hands and I smiled to learn that within two months the two would get married. Sakura had even told me that she thought the reason for the sudden marriage was a baby, but I ignored it, it was none of my business. All but were getting married or dating, I think that was my problem. Ino and Sai got together, Sakura stayed with Sasuke after all, Rock Lee found a wonderful girl in another village and now they both live here, Gaara was still Gaara. I always doubted that Neji and Tenten had anything other than Shikamaru and Temari that confirmed me. It was complicated.

"What's up Y / N-chan, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked excitedly and I smiled, even as the fox sealed inside, I was never afraid of him and was always his friend. Neji looked at the camera in my hands, I had a hobby, I loved taking pictures, but it was something I didn't share.

"Just thinking and taking some pictures," I said with a shrug. Hinata looked at me with bright eyes

“Could you do a rehearsal of ours?” She asked so excitedly that I had to pity deny it.

"My job is not that good," I said, scratching the back of my neck.

"For oneesan, you're perfect in the photos," declared Naruto and I wanted to kill him right there.

"I bet it will be beautiful too," Neji added and I gave them a smile.

"Well, I can think of some ideas, if you want to discuss, we can go to my house Hinata" I said and she agreed, giving her boyfriend a kiss and a hug on Neji. "You won't go, it's gonna be a girls time"

Before they could both complain, the brunette pulled me laughing. I really liked the woman, lost count of how many times I told her if she says now Naruto and how many times I hit that idiot's head for running after Sakura who clearly was an idiot who didn't want him. After much trying, fate made them stay together.

And I was glad that, as Naruto's best friend, I always wanted the best. I arrived at my house, opened my computer and we started researching some things.

"My wedding is going to have a dance and I want everyone dancing." She talked excited and I smiled, her animation was cute.

"Cool, this dance will be both of you and this one with the guests." I spoke showing some pictures.

"We can do some rehearsals at the tip, hill and even in the forest" I kept showing some examples and even places that I had already photographed.

"Your photos are great, I didn't know you had that talent"

"I love hiding things from people"

“Like you hid from me who kissed Naruto?” He asked laughing and I widened my eyes.

"Hinata, we were kids and were jealous of people who had boyfriends," I said quickly and she burst out laughing.

"I know everything, you told me that drunk, without any context, so I asked Naruto who explained things to me"

"I need to stop drinking so much, these days I woke up in my underwear lying on my porch," I grumbled and she laughed harder. I got up to make our food since the day was already night. My friend accompanied me, I looked at my fridge and decided to make a basic spaghetti.

"Do you cut the tomatoes?" I asked putting them on the table, took the onion and began to chop. In the middle of the onion I was already in tears. I heard the bell and Hinata went to open since it was probably her boyfriend, which was very strange Naruto knock on the door, he would just open since sometimes he sleeps here. Neji was the first to come in the moment I put the onions on the fire, he came towards me with a worried look.

“Are you ok?” He asked placing his hand on my shoulder. I smiled at him and confirmed, I thought his behavior was cute.

"It was just the onions, I'm really always caught by them" I answered the question he should be asking himself. I wiped my eye with my dirty hand and cursed myself automatically. How was I so injured? Neji laughed and wet the cloth beside me to help me.

"You guys are cute together" Naruto started, Hinata hit him. I saw Neji is slightly embarrassed and I felt bad for him.

"Naruto, if you continuing to disturb us, I will tell Hinata all the nonsense you did in childhood, and when I say everything I talk about all the things dattebayo!" I roared and he widened his eyes making us laugh. After Neji helped me, I put the noodles to cool while making the sauce. I glanced over at my office where I saw the lovers embracing, giving each other cute smiles. I smiled at the scene but needed someone to help me.

"Neji-chan" I called him and he looked at me, waiting for me to finish my sentence. "Could you cut those spring onions there? And some parsley?"

"Sure, small or medium?"

"Small" I answered and he agreed.

"Have you decided where the wedding photos will be?"

"In a lot of places, I actually need to see what I need to bring because besides the lenses, there will be places I need to carry light." I spoke thinking with my hand on my chin, one of the caves I showed Hinata was this case, however much it was day, the light was not enough for the picture to look good.

"I help you take things, I'm always here to help you"

I looked surprised at the man now in front of me, Neji was chosen as Jounning before any of our group, his skills are exceptional. I smiled at his willingness to help me, he handed me the extra cut and I added it to the sauce, asked him to get the pasta and it helped me pouring slowly. Less than 10 minutes, our food was ready. It smelled so good that I wanted to eat before I even turned off the pan.

"You call the lovebirds," I said and he scowled.

"We eat, when they feel hungry, they will come." He answered by making me laugh, it turned out that we didn't have to call, as they both came by the smell of the food.

"Sorry for leaving y/n-san," said Hinata with red cheeks.

"I don't care, Neji was a better company than you," I said, showing her tongue to her who laughed. How mature I was. We sat at my table and appreciated it. I ate calmly, savoring the divine sauce.

"I love your noodles so much," Naruto said with his mouth full and I glared at him. "Seriously oneechan, your noodles are the best ever," he continued and I laughed.

"I agree with him, it's even better than my clan chief's," said Hinata with her mouth full as well.

"then Naruto is changing you" I said in a crying voice and Neji laughed as they both looked at me with a straight face. We finished eating and I gathered things to wash.

"I will wash y/n-san" Hinata said and I denied it.

"You can date, I know you're out of time because of Naruto's studies" my friend looked at me and smiled, just like my idiot brother.

They both came back to the room and I felt like that aunt who is hiding her niece's dating. I laughed at my thought and realized that Neji was looking at me.

"I'll help you," he said and went to the edge of the sink. He started washing the dishes and me drying them. We commented a few things, Neji was a very nice guy, we always got along but there was a day that Tenten went crazy and I decided to walk away, not to cause any problems for them.

"You could pin my hair, it's falling on my face." He said and I looked, as he was without the bandana, really had a strand on his face. I grabbed a clothespin I'd tossed into the closet and pinned his hair back in a ponytail.

"I hate the fact that your hair is more hydrated than mine," I said, returning to my dishwasher position.

"I really only pass some creams I buy, no big deal."

"This is even worse Neji, you don't even have to work hard," I said and he laughed, patted him with my cloth lightly. I missed him at those times, and even on missions. We finished the dishes quickly and went into the living room, finding the most ridiculous couple in the world.

"So good that you came back, we need to talk to you both" Hinata said making me frown, what the hell were those two wanting from us?

INTERVIEW: Legendary Voice Actress Kikuko Inoue

Among the industury guests at Anime Central 2018 was Kikuko Inoue, a veteran voice actress whose work has defined anime for the past two decades. We had a change to interview her about her career, relationships, and history in the industry as a star so great she needs no introduction, because she provides it herself!

Kikuko Inoue: Hello, my name is Kikuko Inoue, I've been a voice actor for 30 years, but actually the joke is that I'm 17 years old and my fans respond with "Oi! Oi!" so every time I'm at an event I use that introduction. Within the voice acting industry, I have a lot of voice actor friends who have joined what I've created, called the 17 Years Old Club, such as Horie Yui and Tamura Yukari. So, one of my first prominent roles was Kasumi from Ranma 1/2 and she was the older sister I got my nickname "oneechan," or "older sister" from that role. I was also Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess and I've acted her on several different occasions, and for quite a long time so I feel like that's a role that's watched over me for a long time. Actually I get a lot of offers for mother or older sister characters, and especially recently I've been offered a lot of mother-like characters, but of course there are characters that are good mothers and bad mothers and I... will play both. *Laughs*

When I play these rather evil or bad mothers in shows I'm pretty sad to play those roles and have to be the villain in that case, but then, usually it's the case that the story has the child maturing and growing up, and overcoming such obstacles, and being able to move the audience in such a way that I, at the end of the show, feel very relieved to have been a part of it. The most recent example is The Ancient Magus' Bride, where I played Chise's mother, and she was a rather evil mother, but that the main character was able to overcome that obstacle was a big relief to me.  Since I do voice a lot of characters that are the mothers and older sisters, it's actually kind of refreshing and exciting for me to start to voice some of the villains as well. When I actually do voice the villain characters I get to say lines that I would definitely never utter myself in real life, but in a sense it's kind of like a feeling of catharsis. Of course other than anime I also have voiced a lot of characters in games and quite varying roles, such as Boss from Metal Gear Solid and I-No from Guilty Gear, so I'm definitely happy with my job and my life.

You've been voice acting since 1988, how has the field that you work in changed and developed over that time?

At first when I debuted I would just receive the script and be told to go to the studio, and then in front of the screen when I saw the footage for the first time I would be asked to voice act the role, but then maybe five or so years after I debuted I was actually able to receive a physical copy of the footage and be able to practice or view it at home before actually going to the studio. Once we got what a lot of us call "homework" we were able to practice many times over until our movements and our voices perfectly matched the mouth movements of the characters, so that we were able to nail it when we went into the studio.

Which role of yours do you think was the most important for your career?

I view all of the roles that I have played as my children, so I cannot honestly say one is more important than another.

A lot of the American voice actors talk about how when they record they're recording alone in the studio, but I believe in Japan they sometimes do group sessions. How does that work, do you do voices all at the same time or record on your own?

Yes, they definitely assemble the cast all together in one room, and this is common for all of the work that we do.  First we do a test run where everyone recites their lines and then the director has specific instructions for each actor where they say, "I want it more like this or like that," and after that instructional phase there is another test and then it goes onto the recording so a twenty or thirty minute episode probably takes three to four hours for us to record.  

*She stands up to stand in front of a screen in the room to visually demonstrate the recording process she's explaining*

So as you can see, this is the screen where the footage is playing, there's probably three to four mics in the center of the room and everyone is sitting around in a circle, or a semi-circle and when it is your character that comes on-screen you have to find and open mic, it works like musical chairs, so you go to the first open mic to recite your lines and then as soon as your part is over you sit back down.  The work for the mic is pretty technical itself so a lot of the newer voice actors have a hard time finding a mic, or getting to the mic in time, so that's something that the voice actors have to learn.

  Lust in Fullmetal Alchemist is a bit different from the type of character you often play, what was it like performing that role?

  Even though Lust is a villain, she's a really cool character. *Laughs* Also, she's shown on a lot of the promotional items for Fullmetal Alchemist, so she's a pretty prominent character as well. When I was playing Lust, I pulled out the deepest depths of darkness within myself and then channeled that into the role.

Anime is really popular here in the United States, what do you feel about people seeing themselves in your characters and cosplaying them?

I really love cosplay! When I see someone cosplaying a character that I voice I get so excited that I wanna run over and greet them right away, and actually yesterday I took a lot of pictures together with people I saw that were cosplaying characters that I've voiced.

In 2009 you founded your own talent agency, Office Anemone, what got you interested in your own agency and how has that experience been?

Actually the president and other co-founder of Office Anemone is my older sister, who said "let's work together and form an agency," so I eventually decided that I would join her in her quest, but even though I left my previous agency, the voice acting industry is a very small world so I am still very close with a lot of the voice actors that I worked with and I still speak with them on a regular basis. There's a sort of wordplay with the name Office Anemone, where "ane" means "older sister," and "ane mo ne," is "with my older sister," but also anemone is also the name of a flower in Japan, so people associate it with that, so it has a double meaning.

  You've mentioned that you're friends with Tamura Yukari, how did you feel to see her and other friends rise in popularity over the years?

I'm very happy! I'm always happy to see someone succeed, and as I said earlier the voice acting industry is a very small industry so especially with my friends I'm very close, and very happy to see another member of the Seventeen Years Old Club succeed, since I see them as siblings.

Have you met any of your American counterparts, who've voiced the same characters you've voiced?

Yeah, since I've been to a few events in North America I've been able to meet a fair number of voice actors, and yesterday doing my autograph session the English voice actor for Ed was doing his autograph session in the booth right next to mine, so I got to meet him and that was exciting.

Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess is one of your most well-known and beloved roles, what about that performance specifically makes it so popular?

I think it's just the aura and existence of Belldandy is so sublime in a certain way, where she's nice but it's- "nice" is not even the proper word to describe her, her kindness surpasses a normal level of kindness, and of course it's because she's a goddess, but it seems like she would be accepting of you no matter what happens and you could go to her for anything.  It isn't just kindness or niceness, but she's very strong, she has a very strong heart, and she seems like the type of character that would be able to cheer you up no matter what you're going through.

In addition to anime you've done a lot of voice acting for video games, what are the main differences between acting for anime and video games, and do you prefer either of them?

Like I mentioned earlier, for voicing anime we are all together in the studio, and if I were to compare it to a sport, where in acting for games you're just alone by yourself in a booth, anime is like a team sport, like baseball, everyone is going to be behind you and back you if you need help form your teammates, whereas voicing for games is like long-distance running where you are by yourself.  I do actually love both, you're overcoming the obstacles and get to face the task head-on when you're voicing for games, so they both have their advantages and I love working on both. So using the same analogy of sport, when I'm working on anime I always have to be thinking of a strategy of how to back someone up or how to successfully play off the others that are working with me, in a sense pass or receive with the other teammates, and when we achieve a perfect recording or a perfect result it really feels like a great accomplishment that the team had together, and when you're working on a game, just like running a marathon your opponent is yourself so when you're able to surpass your own expectations it is a really good feeling.

If you weren't doing voice acting what would you be doing?

Maybe a maid? I really love maid outfits and I actually wear them a lot, so what about a maid cafe? But they might be a little concerned about my age... I'm seventeen! [room: Oi! Oi!]

You've appeared in both of Kunihiko Ikuhara's recent anime, Mawaru Penguindrum and Yuri Kuma Arashi. He's known for being one of the most unique directors in the industry, so if you have any, what are your impressions of Ikuhara-san from your work with him?

I think he is a really great talent and he has a really high level of skill for his worldbuilding, and we're actually pretty close in real age as well, so I feel like we can get along with each other pretty well and I would love to work with him again.

You said that as your daughter starts her voice acting career you wanted her to start out with smaller roles and then build up from there. How do you feel now that she's begun voicing main character roles, Sakura in Pazudora and then Ruby in the upcoming Sora to Umi no Aida?

You knew! (In English): "Thank you very much!" Well yes, my daughter is actually three years older than me, but yes, I had said that I wanted her to mature gradually and take on more responsibility, but to see her get main roles, I'm very happy about it and also quite surprised.  One example is in Puzzle and Dragons where she is voicing the heroine, I've recently been called to voice a lot of small roles as well, and in that particular one I was called in to voice her mother in the show, so it's quite fun for me to see the reversal of roles, for her to be the main character and me to be the side character.

You've also done some stage performances, playing your character Cordelia in Sakura Wars live shows, what was it like doing stage acting?

I've also thought about the voice acting job as something that's behind the scenes, that we don't really appear in front of audiences that often, but it was quite different for Sakura Wars in which the voice actors all wore cosplays of their characters, and not only that they did a song and dance on stage, so definitely while I was surprised it was REALLY fun and I never thought I'd be able to do such a job. We had a lot of practice for the show, such as song and dance lessons, and for me particularly dance was quite challenging and despite all of the dance practice that we did, I for the life of me could not remember all of the dance steps, so, during the actual live performance itself, the actor who played Coquelicot was standing next to me so I would step just half a foot back and view her dance from the sides and sort of copy her movements, so if she messed up I would also mess up (laughter).

If you had the opportunity to stage act again would you take it, or do you prefer voice acting as a more streamlined career?

Yes, definitely I would love to take the chance again, but of course as you know with age... wait I'm seventeen so... For me in life I just love anything that's fun, and actually my theme or motto in life is to live with a smile and to provide a smile for others, so I would definitely accept anything that's fun or provides enjoyment to others.

How did you get your start in voice acting?

Actually I went to a specialty school for voice actors, and after I graduated I became a voice actor.

Finally, do you have a message for your fans here in the West?

Thank you very much for loving and enjoying Japanese animation, I really appreciate the fact that Japanese anime is able to connect people around the world and please continue to support and enjoy Japanese anime.  Oh! And games too, please support games as well! Thank you very much!

Ahri’s Lost memories

Life as a human is very hard. But after joining the League, life in general became a lot easier. The Summoners even explained why I felt guilty about killing other humans in order to stay like a human. They told me I’ve been developing human emotions as I grew up and consumed people’s souls. Having to fight  in the league isn’t this bad either. Most of the times, we don’t have to do anything, Actually we just have to give some informations about ourselves, so they can cast images of the champions in dolls for battles. And being a champion gives opportunity to do and expirience things I’ve never imagine before. But better than this,I was able to make friends. When joined the League I was really scared of everybody else. At first I got to avoid everyone, but in time my fear started to fade as more and more I saw the true color of the souls around me. Most of the older champions are really nice and new champions jarrive quite often. After some time I spent traveling and going around Valoran, I made some close friends. Syndra is my best friend, and despite her apperences she is really kind and sweet, specially after Zed and her began a relationship which I helped to start. She always helps me when I need, to me she is like an older sister who I can rely on. She helped me grow my magic power and Zed tought me a little about self defense. Those two are my closest friends right now. However lately after living with the two of them, I started to notice my human side growing and wanting to know what it is like to be in love. This sensation of curiosity just grew stranger since it began, and now I find myself spacing out a lot. When I'm alone it isn't a problem, however when I'm with any company, I end up losing myself from who I'm with or doing any kind of mistake i normally wouldn't. And today was no different. Syndra invited me for shopping, and if she didn't held my hand I would've lost myself again. Now we are spending the night at her place. Zed is solving things with Shen about what happened in the past, trying to figure what was really the truth. -Syndra: Hey Ahri! Are you even listening!? -angry- As she says that, she throws cold water on my back, making me squeak -Ahri: Eep! Hey! You don't need to throw water! -angry- -Syndra: Gezz. You are spacing out a lot lately, you know? -worry- -Ahri: I can't help it. It isn't like I'm doing it on purpose. -Syndra: Is something I can help? I'm starting to worry about you. -Ahri I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you... and this isn't something serious, but I... -feeling selfconscious I stop in the middle-. -Syndra: Could it be... did you fell in love with someone? -Ahri: I'd be happier if that was the case... -Syndra: I was sure that was it... -Ahri: Actually, you aren't a hundred percent wrong. She looks at me with puzzled eyes -Ahri: I want to know... how does one feels when in love? -Syndra: So you never fell in love before!? -surprise- -Ahri: Why the suprised look on your face? Is that hard to belive ? -Syndra: I mean... you helped others in their love lifes including mine! You looked so experienced when helping and giving advices too! Not to mention your flirting. -Ahri: This was all because of my animal insticts mixing with my human side. -Syndra: Do animals know how to flirt and stuff? -Ahri: Flirting "we" know, but in other ways. But love and other types of sentiments "we" don't really feel it. -Syndra: So, how do you even choose a partner, if it isn't for love? -Ahri: Females choose the strongest partner, in order to survive. And dispite this, I'm still young and fairly new to this stuff. -Syndra: Wait a sec, now that you mention it... What is your age again? -Ahri: In human years I'm turning seventeen... I guess. Didn't I told you before? -Syndra: No... I don't think so... But how the league even let you be a champion if you aren't considerated an adult yet!? -Ahri: Maybe because I've lived longer than most of the champions? -Syndra: Now you got me confused. -Ahri: My body and soul are turning seventeen, But, I've been around here around hundreds of years for now. -Syndra: I don't know if I feel old or young now... -Ahri: Tecnically, I'm still younger than you now. -Syndra: Anyway, let oneesan here help you with your love problem-flirty voice-. I'll support you with whatever I can! After that, we chatted all night like normal. She cheers me up whenever I feel bad, like if she was really my sister. The next day she had to return to Zed, as he needed help. And now I am walking around the city trying to distract myself. Not being able to understand my feelings and curiosity only growing stronger. This won't help if I don't clear my head first. As Syndra said, this feeling comes with time and I'll probably notice when I start feeling it. For now I should focus on what I came here for, I need to buy a present for Sona! Although I have no idea of what she wants for her birthday... From store to store, I couldn't find anything that looked right to give her, or nothing that could be special. At least I knew what everyone bought to Sona before coming here. But I don't really know what she likes or dislikes either. Ever since I joined, I never got to really know Sona. It's like she has been avoiding me all this time. But I still want to be friends with her, so this time I'm going to find something for sure!

Few days later at Syndra's place...

-Ahri: Onee-chan! Help meee! -Syndra: Wait, onee-chan? Since when you call me that!? -Ahri: The other day you said you were going to help me when I had problems and you called yourself... -murmuring- THAT ISN'T THE POINT! -Syndra: Calm down first Ahri! You are way to nervous now. I'll prepare some tea for you. Sit and relax a little. Minutes later. -Syndra: More calm now? -Ahri: Yes, sorry... -Syndra: No worrys. Now, what happened? It's about your feelings? -Ahri: No... Actually it's about tomorrow... -Syndra: Tomorrow? You mean... -Ahri: I couldn't find anything to buy for Sona... -Syndra: She still avoiding you? -Ahri: Yes... -small voice- -Syndra: I'd really like to know why she does that. She doesn't chat much, but you are the only one she does that. Don't you remenber doing anything to her? -Ahri: Not as a human at least. But when I was a fox, I don't remenber ever having much contact with humans, or memories at all to say the truth. -Syndra: Well, what did you planned to buy? -Ahri: That is the thing, I have no idea of what to buy! -Syndra: And you want it to be special so you can get closer to her... -Ahri: Something in mind? -Syndra: Yep! You can leave everything to me. Just go normally tomorrow. -Ahri: You got everything? I don't have to help with anything? -Syndra: I already knew what to do. Just leave it to Syndra-oneechan here! -Ahri: Arigatou Onee-chan!! With that I leave. Syndra had to do some stuff, so i left early. On the way home, I spot a store that sells little charms. As I enter, one of the charms gets my attention. Once staring at the charm, an old lady who is the storekeeper, approachs me. -Keeper: Looking for something dear? -Ahri: Actually I'm looking for a present for someonde special. But I don't know what to buy for her. -Keeper: Then why not buy this charm you are looking at? -Ahri: This one? Something special about it? -Keeper: The charm you hold was blessed by a fox spirit. It is said that this fox was the most kind and loving one of the spirits, but she rarely had contact with humans because she only could be seen by those with a pure heart. -Ahri: And, this charm is supposed to bring luck? -Keeper: Yes, luck in finding something precious. -Ahri: I think I'd like to buy this one then. Could you pack it? -Keeper: Of course, I'll do it. Oh, take this one with you too. It's a simple good luck charm for you from this old lady. -Ahri: Arigatou! She wrap the one I choose for Sona, and the other I keep it with me. -Keeper: Best of luck with the present! -Ahri: Good bye obasan! I'll be sure to come back! At least I got something that I can give to Sona and say "I chose this one for you". I know my gift is kind of lame but, it's something. I just hope tomorrow Syndra is able to cover me. Next day, at the party: (Sona's perspective) I wonder if she came... I've been avoiding her all this time because I was shy and nervous, but today I'll finally try and talk to her. I just hope she isn't mad at me because of that. -Syndra: Ahri, wait! -shouting in a distance- As I hear Syndra, I turn just to see Ahri running away. Worried, I ask Syndra what happened. -Syndra: So sorry Sona-sobbing-. Ahri asked me for help with your present but... -Zed: Syndra, you went to far this time. You knew she was serious when she sought help. You know her better than anyone here. Weren't you happy when she opened up to you and started seing you as her big sister few days ago? As I've been avoiding her, I don't know much. But I ask if Zed is not going too far. -Syndra: No he is right. In all this time, it was the first time she opened up and asked help. Especially considering she still a little new to her emotions... New to her emotions? Confused I ask to syndra explain. -Syndra: I think you know she wasn't originally a human before joining the league, right? I heard about it so i nod in response. -Syndra: To say the truth, she was a fox spirit from what i heard from the head masters and "higher ups" of the league, although Ahri herself don't have any memories of it. A fox spirit... is she... -Syndra: Sona, I need you to do something for me... Wait... me!? -Syndra: If I go she'll just run away and hide. But if you go maybe she'll listen. She really wanted to be friends with you all this time, dispite you avoiding her all and all. I don't know the reason why you did this but, please try to talk with Ahri. You are the only one who can get close to her without her noticing. So please.... Syndra is tearing up. If i didn't avoided her, this wouldn't have happened... -Zed: Will you go Sona? Syndra is asking you as a worried sister. I nod again confirming that I'll go. -Zed: I think she is on the roof, I can sense her shadow there. I'll calm Syndra down. I came here to the roof, but now what do I do... As I enter the roof I see ahri sitting with her head low. Now that I think, what Syndra did to make Ahri so mad at her? -Ahri: I'm sorry Sona -sobbing- -Sona Huh? Is she thinking out loud or she noticed me already? -surprised- -Ahri: Is easy to notice someone when you came here talking. -Sona: Wait, you can hear me? -Ahri: I'm not deaf you know, I can hear you... -Sona: But I can't talk! Just summoners and some of the staff from the league can hear me, because I don't have a voice. -Ahri: So that explains you writing everything you said... but, I'm sorry for making you worry about me. It's just, my feelings still kind of new to me... -Sona: Don't worry. I think this is actually my fault for avoiding you in the first place, if I wasn't so shy this wouldn't had happened. -Ahri: Shy? So you don't hate me or anything? -Sona: Of course not! I just felt shy about talking to you. As I say Ahri's face lights up and hugs me in the waist and just like a puppy, she rubs her face against my body and her tails go back in foward making me gigle. -Ahri: What's so funny? -Sona: You look like a puppy acting this way... -Ahri: I think I still young enough to act like that... I'm still not considered an adult in human age. -Sona: Wait how old are you? -Ahri: I'm going to turn seventeen. -Sona: Oh... I thought you were my age. I put my hand in her head, and stroke her hair. As I do it she rests her head in my legs, using it as a pillow. -Ahri: Can we stay like this for a little? Just until I calm down a bit more. -Sona: As long as you want. Ahri's perspective. As I rest my head, her warm and gentle hand goes through my hair. A soft voice begins a melody as bright as the sun, yet as calming as the moon. In this moment, my heart begins to race; a felling I had long forgotten returns to fill an empty space in my chest, as if once more, I'm able to fly in the blue sky. Flustered, I hide my face although I can't control my tails. I think she does not notice, but to be sure I sit back up. -Sona: Are you ok now? -Ahri: Yes, arigatou. And sorry for being so selfish in your birthday. -Sona: It's fine, especially now that I can really talk to someone. But I still don't get how you're able to hear me. -Ahri: I can't guess neither. -Sona: Well anyway, let's go back? -Ahri Before that, I want to give you this. I get the little pack with the charm and give it to her. -Sona: It's a little charm! How cute! Thank you! -Ahri: The owner of the store where I get it said this one was blessed by an fox spirit, so this would be a charm of maybe some sibling. -Sona: No, you're the one who is giving me this, so I'll think that you were the one who blessed it. -Ahri: Ok... I guess. -Sona: Do you know what it is written here? As I look in the back of the charm, I recognize the characters, but I feel my body going numb as my head begins to spin. -Ahri: Sona... -Sona: What's wrong? You are not looking good... -Ahri: Sorry in advance... As I say everything goes black, last thing I heard was a faint voice of someone I can't remenber
