kusa was in the mall, seeing what the mall had in stock. she was getting pretty tired of the same outfit she wore, and walked around. 'the money from my resturant will help greatly.' she thought. "but where's a good outfit?" she asked herself.
OCC: P.S. sorry if my sig is abit much.

Bao was in the mall aswell, he was looking for a ring because he was going to ask Natalie to marry him. He then walked past Kusa and his tail touched her arm roughly, hard enough to knock someone down. He quickly turned around and said, "Im sorry, exuse me."and apolagized to the person politely, and relized it was Kusa.

kusa fell down when she was hit. "ow." she said on the hard floor. "it's ok bao." she got up, and asked what he was doing here. "and don't worry. i'm not going to fire you."

Bao walked up to her and brushes her off a bit, and then stepped back a few inches. "Im going to buy a ring, im going to ask Natalie to marry me."He replied and blushed alittle. "Since now im pretty much old enough to get married."

OOC: Me and Natalie and our son had our own little time skip. He is about 23 years old.

"oh, congratulations!" kusa said. "i'm sure you'll have a very happy life together!" she continued. "me and kane are probably going to get married when i'm 16. we really do live eachother, and i really think you and natalie love eachother." she then smiled.

"Thanks, i dont doubt she will say yes"He said and smiled back, "I hope you and Kane have a great life together."he added and his tail wrapped around him a bit. "So, what are you doing here?"he asked

"typicall teen-aged girl things at the mall i'm getting some new clothes." she told him. "i've gotten tired of my old clothes." she said. "by the way, i know this really great jewler that made my locket, and he's extremely wonderful. his prices are also affordable for a 20 karat gold ring at 50 yen, with a real diamond."

"Orly?"He asked and smiled, "Well, may i go shopping with you then?"He asked and looked at her. "Ill pay for anything you want to buy, just think about it as something i owe you."

"you don't owe me anything just be a good employee." she said. "first we'll find a ring, and then we can go clothes chopping for me." she suggested.

"Nonononoonononononoono."Bao disagreed and waved a hand infront of himelf back and forth as he said. "I want to buy your clothes for you, like a proper gentleman."he added and smiles. "I want to take you shopping first."

"nono! it's ok. all i ask that you should do in return is to have a very happy life with natalie, and to be a good employee for me. i've got plenty of money." kusa's cell phone rang, and it was naruto. "one sec." she turned around and started to talk on the phone. "naruto, why are you trying to get an order when my resturant's closed?" she asked.
"oh, really?" he asked.
"look, i'm still really mad at you for cheating on me, and then dumping me when i had a cold!" she told him. "i even showed you my clans secret and saved you from that demon in you. could nayumi do that?"
"well.."
"no, so good bye." she said, and hung up. she turned around to her friend and apologized. "i get carried away, and i wanted to say that for a while."

"Its alright."Bao replied and laughed alittle. He then put his hand on her head and smiled at her, "The ring can wait, im going to take you shopping."He said once more

"no way. i don't want you to waste your money on me. you need it for your new life and that ring." she said. "plus i have enough money, and you need your money for the ring."

"Alright, fine, you win this round."He said and laughed. "BUT Im taking you shopping first."He said and pointed his index finger, to singallize, '1' and 'first'

"alright." kusa said. "i always shop at this store right here for clothes." she said poiting to a store called "teen clothe wonder." "i don't understand why they named it that, but it has very cut clothes."
