Keiko's Handmade Weaponry

I walked into the store and up to counter. I gently laid the items or materials of which I had with me on the counter in front of me. I smiled softly before that smile faded and I looked at the craftsman before we were in conversation.

"What a wonderful surprise.. Keiko, how are you?" He smiled as I just answered that I was fine and looked about.. this place really had changed since the last time I was here. He walked over to the back room with all the materials I had handed him in the front, naturally he would let me come back here because we were such good friends.

"What is it you need?" He asked me curiously.

"I need a sword. An elemental/demon sword if you can." I smirked and waited against the wall to his working station for the newly made weapon to be finished. He just nodded and began making it for me.. I watched over the counter to see if anyone else would come in.

*The same girl I noticed from the clothing shop, I run into again as I enter the weapon shop.* "Hmmmm....." *I walk by her and step up to the counter. I drop my swords onto the counter.* "Shine 'em up for me if you would sir."

Craftsman (Orin): "Ahhhhh Dominic! Always a surprise to see you out and about these days. Ill have them ready for you in no time. Ill get started right away."

Dominic: "Thanks as always Orin!" *I take a seat next to Keiko.*

*walks in and goes into the black smith shop and i take out my swords had made*

I look to the person sitting next to me.

"Nice swords. Mind if I ask your name.. I noticed you back in the clothes shopping store.. and you're a kage right? Well, I'd like to know you name.. if it's not too much to ask of you." I say keeping an eye on his hat.

*I look at the girl and smile.* "My name is Dominic Edrick. What is your name miss?"

I smile.

"It's nice to meet you dude.. and if I may ask you to please not call me miss... I don't like it, sorry. Well my full name is Keiko AiHikari, but you can just call me Keiko alright?" I smiled even bigger.. my teeth now showing in the smile and I put a thumb up while smiling.

"Well I only called you miss because I didnt know your name. Now that I know it Ill call you what you like, Keiko." *I smile back at her and just laugh at her with her thumb up.* "Youve got alot of spunk in you. Reminds me of when I was an up and comer."

I smiled and put my hand down and laughed as well.

"Well, thanks.. and really now? Well I was always like this, just spunky and a go-getter. Some say they remind me of Naruto, but I don't know if I do.." I shrugged at finally making a friend.

"Ahh nothing better than a go-getter ninja. You actually remind me of my daughter. She the same way." *I look over the counter seeing the progress on my swords.* "So where is your weapon?"

"You have a daughter? May I ask who she is? And my weapon is.. uh.." I rubbed the back of my head, a bit bashful.

"Um, my weapon is being forged.. I never had one.. he's making one for me and it's gonna be great!" I said springing up slightly.

"My daughter's name is Lacey." *I change the subject to her weapon.* "Ah so your getting one made huh? And looking at the materials those look like sword parts." *I create a seal and a feather appears in my hand.* "Im gonna do something I usually never do." *I stand up and walk to the counter.* "Sir if you could add this to the lady's sword." *I sit back down next to her.* "That feather will decrease the weight of that sword over 40%. Not only that but when you become a jounin I will unlock an ability only my bloodline knows. So train hard ok?" *My swords finish up and I stand back up to the counter.* "Thanks Orin." *I turn back to Keiko.*

I smiled as well.

"Thank you very much.... I appreciate it." ^^

"Well, now what do I do? And you know that I sure will train hard.. I'm gonna be Hokage some day! You best believe me.. because it's true.. I will do nothing but train and train hard until I can be as strong as the Hokage before me.. and that's a promise." I clenched my fist.

"Thats the spirit. Remember to come see me when your a jounin ok? The ability Ill teach you will be quite effect." *I nod my kage hat at her and walk out the door.*

I nodded and then smiled.

"Right." I sat back down and sighed, resting my head in my arms.

"Well alone again."

I sit here and wait for more than an hour before deciding on what to eat, since I am getting hungry. I look to the owner and the maker of the swords and wave goodbye.

"I will be back later to pick up the weapon if it's ready by then, because.. I am way hungry and need to get something to eat." I nod and run off.

"Yea that's fine with me.. come back... later.." He said as I ran and just caught his last words. He smiled and laughed in jolly merriment as he cleaned his hands quickly with something. "Ah the young, how I wish I were young again. Hehe, that girl, she reminds me of someone." He paused and thought for a moment, though he couldn't come up with the name of the person. "Hm, the name escapes me now for some reason, but eh I'm sure I will recall it later, acts just like him though." He smiled and laughed once more before returning to his previous duties as a sword manufacturer.
