"I'm sure I have ssome in the fridge. Lets go see." He swung the dooor up and led Raven to the kitchen. HE openend the fridge and pulled out a bottle of milk. "Here you go my dear." He said and went to go put his scythe away

"Thankyou," Raven said.
She took put some of the milk into Akihiko's bottle, and fed him.

Akihiko's big blue eyes looked up at her, smiling.

Raven wondered if he knew things were going to be getting better for them. It seemed like he did.

Lantin hung his scythe on the decorative weapon mount on the wall of his room. He stood looking at it for a few moments before heading back to the kitchen to check up o. Mother and child. He found Raven feeding her son. Lantin smiled and put the container of milk away. After we all have some lunch, I'll show you around the house." he said and started to Pull out all the ingredients to make grilled cheese sandwiches. "I hope you don't mind, I'm not the beat cook."

"Oh thats fine. I can help you if you'd like it," Raven said, smiling.
She loved to cook.

That would be great." Lantin said and took out a pan. He started to butter the pan as he heated it up on the stove top. He turned to raven and watched as she finished feeding her baby. "Ok, now then." be said and started to put the sandwiches together

When Akihiko finished, Raven put his bottle away and set him down on the floor, letting him crawl around.
She washed her hands, and helped Lantin assemble the sandwiches.

Lantin watched akihiko crawl around the floor around his mother's legs. He smiled and waited for raven to finish making the sandwiches. He buttered both sides and placed the. On the pan to fry until both sided were nicely browned and the cheese was was perfectly gooy. "lunch is served."

"Mmm, they look great," Raven said.

She put the sandwiches on plates, and handed one to Lantin.

She bit into the other one and started devouring it hungrily.

Akihiko crawled towards Lantin, and wrapped his chubby arms around Lantin's shin, hugging his leg and giggling happily.

Lantin was about to start eating when he fel akihiko crawl over and hug his leg. He put his sandwich down and picked up th child. "Hey there buddy." Lantin said as he lifted him up. "You and your mother will be living here from now on. I hope you like your new home." Lantin laughed. Children were so innocent, and free to show whatever they are feeling.

Akihiko giggled, and grinned a toothless grin.

Raven continued to eat her sandwich. She watched Lantin interact with Akihiko, and smiled.

((sorry short post))

Lantin shifted back in his seat and placed the baby in his lap and returned to eating, making sure that baby's head didnt fall to the side and hurt himself. "He is rather playful." Lantin laughed. He finished for his sandwich and waited for Raven to do the same. Then he stood up, lifting Akihiko in his arms. "Ready for that tour."

Raven nodded and smiled. She was ready.

"Can I have Akihiko back now?" she asked, wanting to hold her baby.

"Oh course." Lantin gently gave over Akihiko to Raven and started to walk with her in tow. "This is the master bedroom. Its mine and unfortunately the only furnished bedroom." He said as he opened teh door to a rather large bedroom. A king sized bed sat at hte other end and a door to a private bath was against the left wall. ontop of the dresser next to the door was a large tv. Everything was clean and well kept. Lantin leaned in close to RAven and whispered in her ear. "You know, you could stay in this room with me." He joked nad laughed to himself as he stood back up straight.

Raven blushed.

"I'm going to have to decline that offer," she said playfully.

She held Akihiko close to her chest, and he grabbed her nose.

"Yes, thats my nose," Raven giggled softly, removing his hand.

Akihiko giggled as well. Raven smiled.

She then turned her attention back to Lantin.

"I figured as much," Lantin laughed, and watched te baby play with his mother. "Alright, this way to your room." He said and led her down the hallway. Just a few doors down, he opened up the door to another bed room. It was about the same size as the master, but without all the funishings. Only a queen sized bed sat there. "We'll have to get him a crib, but this can be your rooms." He said. "Maybe thisw will give me reason to spend some of my pay." He laughed.

Raven fiddled with her fingers.
"U-um no...thats okay, I can get furnishing and stuff on my own...I have money, you see, and I'll get a job soon...somewhere...besides, its just too much to ask, after everything you've already done for me..."

Ravens ears flattened, and her cheeks burned with a mixture of guilt and embarrassment.

Lantin laughed. "You worry to much." He said. "It will be fine. I have more money between my inheritence nad my work, then I could never spend it all. Not on my own at least." It was true. Despite his humble apperence nad shinobi lifestyle, Lantin was absolutly one of the wealthiest people in the hidden sand. His fortune started when his parents died nad grew as Lantin started to do exclusivly, missions that were high rank and low survivibility. Even for a shinobi of the highest caliber, Lantin made quiet a bit. "Trust me my dear. You will be well tended to in my...our home." He smiled.

"Thankyou, but I'm still going to help out as much as I can," Raven said.

No one had ever been this generous to her before.

She wondered what kind of work she could find in the sand village.

Raven momentarily set Akihiko on the floor, and hugged Lantin tightly.

Lantin hugged Raven back, just as tight. He felt a strong attractive to this young mother, and it made him want to help her in any way he could. "Your very welcome my dear." After a while, lantin took a step back adn showed the two the rest of the house. At the end of the tour, they all ended up in the kitchen. "So what sdo you think of your new home." He said.

"It's wonderful, Lantin," Raven murmured.
Akihiko giggled, and Raven knew that he liked it too.

I'm glad." Lantin said and luaghed as akihiko started to giggled. He watched Raven play with her child. She was very beautiful. It would be fun having them living with them. Lantin walked over to her. "Raven, can you close your eyes for a second." he said and hoped she wouldn't be mad at what he did next.

"Ok.."
Raven put Akihiko down on the floor, for fear of dropping him accidentlly.
She closed her eyes, wondering why Lantin had asked her to.

Lantin placed his hand on her shoulder and leaned down. He placed his lips against hers and kissed her, his eyes closed as well. He pulled away and took a step back, in case she wasn't happy about what he had done.

Raven was flushed, her face a deep red color.

Her mind was dancing around, like a schoolgirl with a crush.

She looked at Lantin shyly. She liked the kiss, but wasnt sure what she should say or do.
Raven really wasnt used to this sort of situation.

Lantin amine saw her blush. Her face gave away that fact that she enjoyed it. Lantin stepped foward again and wrapped his as around her and brought her to her feet begone kissing her again. "I think I fell in love with you raven." he whispered as the kiss ended
