Naka smiled and Aiden grinned. "Great!" Naka went to the kitchen to wipe her face, suddenly bursting with energy.

Aiden sighed as she left. "I can't believe how little there are of people like her." He leaned in to Phoenix and rested his cheek on her shoulder. "Thank you for taking care of her while I was gone."

Phoenix softly watched her go, genuinely feeling a soft warmth in her chest as she was glad she had made one person happy. She blinked as she looked to Aiden though and she rubbed her arm, looking back after Naka. "She's yours again...all yours" She whispered, straightening her kimono as she closed her eyes.

"Impossible." Aiden spoke with a bitter tone. "After so long, I've left her to be vulnerable. Now, I'm not the only one in her heart. She's given room to another. You."

Phoenix's lip twitched as she watched the ground and she glanced back to him, shifting faintly as her hands lowered to her sides. "...What are...your thoughts there...?" She asked quietly, glancing to him out of the corner of her eye.

He looked back up to her, eye-to-eye. "Naka has opened her heart to you, and you have equal privilege of her as I do. But there is no turning back now. You cannot leave her like I did. And if you do - be sure to keep in mind I will hunt you down, even if Naka tells me not to. You hurt her, and you have vandalised what is meant to be kept pure."

Naka hopped back in, and hugged the two, not knowing what they had talked about. "Let's celebrate~"

Phoenix sighed softly as he spoke, nodding at first to his statement as she looked to Naka come back in. An arm moved around her and she closed her eyes. "Won't....ever leave then....unless asked..." She said, looking to them both hesitantly.

"Okaa-sama, let's get the sake out!" Naka said, giggling. She pulled Phoenix's sleeve, trying to get her to the kitchen. Aiden smirks too, and pushes the older kunoichi to the kitchen as well.

Phoenix blinked at the tug, following then stumbled forward as he pushed. What looked like a playful glare shot back at him as she walked into the kitchen and walked over to a cabinet, pulling out some of her own sake from a high up cabinet and setting the down with three glasses.

"Yay! Sake!" Naka sat on the counter, waiting eagerly. Aiden took a glass and passed one to Naka, and sat beside her.

Phoenix rubbed her arm as she filled them, putting away all but one more bottle which she walked over with and set down, holding her own glass. She sat by them and shifted, feeling oddly shy near them both but smiled faintly anyway.

"Squee! A toast to Aiden, my Danna, and Phoenix, my beloved Okaa-sama!" Naka said, and took a sip from her glass. She pursed her lips and blood flowed to her cheeks. "Nyuuu...It...Burns..."

Aiden smirked, and downed his glass. "It's supposed to, Naka." She giggled and kissed Phoenix's cheek. "I love you, Okaa-sama!"

Phoenix blinked softly, smiling a bit more as she did and took a couple slow gulps from hers. Setting it down then blinked and blushed at Naka, rubbing her cheeks as she hesitated with the word love but murmured it back, ruffling her hair softly as she ducked her head and drank once more out of her glass, finishing it.

Naka smiled and finished her sake in one gulp, giving a sour look. "Feels like drinking fire! Hyuuu..." Naka hugged Phoenix, closing her dizzy eyes. Aiden merely smirked, and wiped the sake off his lip.

Phoenix looked back to her and smiled a bit absently, she stroked her hair absently and looked to Aiden, mumbling and offering him a bit more shyly.

Aiden accepted the sake and took his time drinking it. Naka opened her eyes and extended her empty glass to Phoenix, a blush on her cheeks. "Me too!"
