Lazy seppuku eyes focused on the sleeping figure of her ashikabi. A lithe scarred finger gently brushing away the messy black hair from minato's slumbering form. She'd always wake up early before him just so she c oco old have amont to just obersever the strange enigma her ashikabi was.

His face held a plain tone,but was both boyish in charm and innocent expression. It was refreshing, yet excruciating at the same time. She just wanted to tease him whenever he gave her a soft smiles and curious glances.

Compared to him she was indeed not the normal or even consider standard. Her silver hair wild and unkempt from never really taking care of it. She once remembered when Minato had to thorough brush her hair after a disastrous case of morning bed head.

She groaned slightly at the painful memory as she kept running her fingers through his own messy hair. Her eyes went from his hair to her own hand as she gazed upon a assortment of scars. Some in various shapes and sizes that went up from her slender arm. If you looked closer her whole body had various scarring from either hard fought battles, or even her own clumsy forgetfulness.

"If Minato-kun didn't tell me I'd probably have worn my gauntlets to bed."

At this she mused she watched his steady breathing in strange fascination. Just the prospect of watching him as he slept was probably more comforting than she'd like to admit. It was a way of knowing he was alive. That he was safe being close to her from all dangers of the terrible game.

Rays of sunlight finally dipped in through the curtains illuminating his soft features even more.

She bit her lip in playful contemplation as she thought of multiple ways of waking up her ashikabi from his slumber.

"Maybe I can kiss him awake? Or scare him awake I bet I could get a good laugh out of that hehehe~"

"Mmm...Haihane-chan..." He half mumbled sleepily making her pause and look at him more carefully. Indeed he was still asleep ,but was mumbling incoherently about something.

"Is he dreaming..?"

She shifted closer putting a small amount of pressure against his chest as she tried making out the words he mumbled it softly.

"...don't eat all the mochi...I...want some too..."

She snorted at this before she burst into full blown laughter. Her laughter causing him to wake up from his sleep in surprise. His sleepy grey eyes looking towards a hunched over Haihane as she held her side tightly while still laughing.

"Haihane-chan...?" He questioned sleepily ,and slightly dazed.

"hahah...i promise i won't eat all the mochi!hahahahha!"

...

...

...

"...huh?"

"So...I was telling you not to eat all the mochi in my sleep?" Minato chuckled as he took a sip of his morning coffee. He sat across from Haihane who was busy indulging herself in the sugary sweetness of her cereal.

"Yup! Funny shit I've ever heard!" She laughed as Minato rolled his eyes at her teasing.

"Sure, sure. Laugh at my weird dreams." He said sarcastically, but Haihane's eyes held a mischievous look as she dropped her spoon back into her bowl.

"You were still dreaming of me though Minato-kun, how bold of you~" She teased getting slight reddish blush from Minato.

"Whatever..."
