=In the past, before the meeting=

When Kideme gave him a hug and turned him down, she gave him a very, very valid reason. One he couldn't deny. But before Kideme had a chance to pull away, Shien embraced her with both arms, his chin resting over her shoulder, "I--understand." His voice was shaky, as if he was on the verge of tears. His eyes were burning, but rather than lashing out, he just held onto Kideme.

"I wish I could take all of that back. I wish I could still have your affection.  But my biggest regret is hruting you myself. I'm so sorry Kideme. Can you ever forgive me? Can I do anything to win your hart back?" He would ask her, hoping to get any type of answer. He was showing her every little bit of his emotion to her, and he was getting feedback that he needed.

He was still hopeful that there was a chance, and Shien would let her go after he got the answer he needed. He needed the answer to focus on this expedition so that he could show her just what he felt and get her affection back. "I'll still protect you Starchild."

=Back to the trip=

Shien would have gone to his locker and collected all of his tools. SLipping on vambraces over his forearms with symbols drawn into them for the symbol of blade. On the kerchiefs that hung off of his hips were symbols drawn for Windmill. Around his belt were his set of special tools, all saturated with his chakra so that some of his jutsu would be easy to use on them. There were five kunai, three with explosive tags tied to them. Ten senbon and eight shuriken. On his back were a pair of fuma shuriken hidden behind a medium sized gourd of sand.

He was able to manipulate it, not like his father could at the moment, but he was going to be getting there one day.

His group would be on the vanguard boat, the first boat that was. It was an exciting but nerve wracking concept. But he was willing to work with it. And they had other ships as back up. The elite ship was a great relief to have.

But now, it was time to focus, get through this expedition and head back home to show Kideme the other wonderous sights that he wanted to record in his map book!
