Koala Campfire; Monday Evening.

Sakurazaki really had no interest in sticking around her own cabin today. Not when she had spoils of a well fought battle to impress Jude with. There were still a lot of the brownies from her earlier route around the camp (she couldn't imagine why no one would want to take any...), and she'd put them in a nice basket with the pink ribbon from yesterday tied around the handle (she had considered weaving it back around her ponytail again today, but couldn't bring herself to actually follow through with the idea).

...And she should probably check up on how Ranma-chan was faring with the cabin situation. Although she had a pretty good feeling that she was running around excitedly finding flowers or something. In other words, completely fine. Especially if said running around should cause her to trip and hit her head and revert back to normal.

So she drifts over to the Koala campfire to see what's up or interesting, if anything.

Jude emerged from the cabin with the intent of tracking Setsuna down no matter how long it took.

Oh. That was fast.

"Hey!"

Sakurazaki blinks for a moment. What timing...it was almost as if this had been planned or something.

But she's quick to grin, drifting over with a slight bounce to her steps, although she'd deny it fifty times over. "Hey. I have something for you." She holds up the basket with her half of the batch of brownies. "And they're actually edible, too! I swear."

Yes, funny, that.

Jude's eyes lit up and he peeked inside the basket. "You brought me brownies? Okay, that does it. Totally the best girlfriend ever." That earned her a swift peck on the lips and then he was investigating the basket again.

Being called the best girlfriend ever and getting a quick kiss took a brief moment to recover from, but, when she does, Sakurazaki chuckles a bit, rolling her eyes as a blush spring up. "And here I thought I was just evening the scales a little, but okay. If you say so."

"I think we'll be even when I get my ninja qualifications and save you from mythical creatures made of yummy dessert," he grinned.

"Now, that'd be something to see," Sakurazaki decides after a brief moment of feigned thoughtfulness, finger against her chin. "I always have had a weakness for ice cream, so we'd better keep our eyes open when the weather gets colder."

"What? A gyphon made of Cherry Garcia or me managing to save anyone?"

Sakurazaki considers how best to say this, because she didn't want to suggest that she thought Jude couldn't save anyone. "A combination of elements in this case. You specifically saving me from a gryphon made of Cherry Garcia."

Jude chuckled. "Ya don't have to lie. I know I'm a dopey loser who would probably get concussed by a chunky of delicious chocolate-covered cherry."

Sakurazaki falters into a bit of stumbling. She was never very good at lying, especially when called out for the lie. "Th..that's not true! I'm sure that with...enough...some training, you could fend for yourself quite well..."

The arguement definately loses momentum and conviction toward the end. Sakurazaki bites her lip a little nervously.

Jude laughed again. "I don't mind, really." He slipped an arm around her waist. "You can always tell me the truth, you know. Like right now, I'm truthfully thinking that I want to kiss you for bringing me brownies."

Sakurazaki's face was definately red now, especially because she can't believe she's saying what she's saying, but there is was, drifting past her lips despite herself, with a smirk and everything. "J..Just for bringing you brownies?"

Jude nodded seriously. "Yes. Just for bringing me brownies. Hey, the brownies don't even have to get involved if they don't want to."

Sakurazaki frowns for just a bit, not getting the answer she'd hoped for. After all, it'd be nice if he wanted to kiss her for being her and not because she came bearing brownies. She can't help a little sigh.

"I don't think they would," she muses with a light grin after the moment passed her. "I hear brownies can be rather shy when it comes to things like that..."

Which was precisely what he had meant.

"Then we should probably set them somewhere safe so we don't make them blush," he said, leaning in.

Sakurazaki blinked, feeling a little confused. If she was supposed to put them somewhere safe first, how come he was leaning in now?

However, he was leaning in, and her logic was being overcome by the mighty forces of her fluttering heart and her blushing face. At her feet would be plenty safe enough. She drops the baskets and meets his leaning in with a kiss.

Jude stepped in, nudging the basket to one side with his foot as he hands went to her waist. After all, being closer made all this kissing just so much easier. The fact that they were standing out in the open for anyone to see didn't really cross his mind.

It did, of course, cross Sakurazaki's. Rather urgently in quiet sirens of panic inside of her head. But she doesn't let the panic manifest until she's sure enough time had passed that pulling away to escape wouldn't seem so much like she was trying to escape. Her shoulders shrug almost defensively, but she keeps herself close to him. She could compromise the hands at her waist, definately. One of her own hands drifts a little over his arm, by the elbow, seemingly wanting to settle there but quite timid about actually doing it.

It takes a moment to catch her breath before she blurts out in one relatively unbroken string, "So how was your day?"

She looks up at him with what starts as a nervous smile, but then, as soon as she actually looks at him, remembering how close they are, it manifests itself into something much more genuine, and she finds herself satisfying another compulsion by leaning right back in to kiss him again.

Jude doesn't really mind the pulling away, and his mouth was open to reply to her question, not at all put out.

And then she kissed him again.

His eyes widened, and then closed, and he moved a little closer to her, sighing happily into the kiss. After his narrow brush with homesickness earlier in the day, this was just what he needed.

This one definately lingers a little longer. Sakurazaki hated how she seemed to lose all control in this matter, but....on the other hand, it was a battle of stength that she found herself not really minding defeat in. Like the Satsuma Rebellion...or something.

But decency and squeemishness ended up working its way back in, so she ends the kiss with a significant blush and an imploring grin up at him. "Well?"

"Huh?" Jude had forgotten that there was a question involved.

"Your day," Sakurazaki smirks after a small snort of a laugh. "How was it?"

"Good," he choked out finally, recovering slightly. "It was good. I did . . ." What had he done? "Arts and Crafts. We have to make a scrapbook. Hey, d'you wanna scrapbook with me? I'll totally need the help."

Sakurazaki chuckles lightly. "That's kind of funny. You taking arts and crafts, which I took last session, and me taking cooking and baking, which you took last session."

"And I'd love to scrapbook with you. After all, I did sort of pick up a little experience with it." Sakurazaki isn't exactly sure why that makes her blush as much as it was in that moment, but, hoo boy, was it.

"Yeah, I guess it is kinda funny," he said a bit sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. "But you liked it, so I figured it might be worth a shot."

He perked up. "Really? Awesome!" He grinned. "I'm going to put that one picture of us right on the very first page."

"Eh, it was okay." Oh, who was she kidding? Sakurazaki grins. "Actually, yeah, it's a great class. The Tick-sensei is pretty amazing."

"But you can't put that picture on the first page! It's not even a very good shot. When you guys get your cameras, we should try to get a better one." She nods decisively.

"But I like that picture!" He grinned. "It proves that I have at least some ninja sneakiness goin' on."

"Very true," she says with a nod, then giving him an arguementive, but grinning, look. "However, it shows that I can be caught of guard, and we can't have that, can we?"

"Then we'll just have to find a compromise, won't we?" he grinned, tapping his lower lip thoughtfully.

"Indeed we shall." Grinning, Sakurazaki also assumed a pensive position. "How do you suppose we might reach such a compromise?"

"How indeed?" Jude 'hmmmm'ed. "Man, I gotta get better at this scrapbooking thing. Maybe Professor the Tick can help me."

Sakurazaki waves a dismissive hand. "No need to bother him with that. I'm here to help you as much as you need." Again, she nods firmly, conclusively, grinning over at him.

And, of course, she can only grin at him for a fleeting moment before another rather persistent and strong urge to kiss him rises up again. An urge that she definately, blushingly, submits herself to.
