>"Thanks for having me over, Asuka..." Kagura said, looking at her friend a bit shyly. She'd rather not hang out with Asuka in a form she had previously used to battle with, but this did mean she'd have to deal with the relative lack of confidence this form gave her. Having four radically different personalities was something she was going to have to get used to...
>"It's no big deal! I'm always happy to have a friend over!" She said, rolling a futomaki as she did.
>"Still, it's not common for people to take time out of their day to accomodate for me, so I'm grateful..."
>Asuka smiled warmly in response, before focusing on the futomaki again. It didn't take long before she had three perfect futomaki rolls lined up, much thicker than the average roll.
>"Uhm, those are really big..."
>"Eh? I actually decided to kinda hold back, I mean, you haven't tried these before, have you?"
>"Only once or twice, but... I mean it, those won't fit..."
>"Haha, well, it's worth a try, right?" Asuka said, realising she may have gotten a bit too ahead of herself.
>"It would be a waste not to..." Kagura said, smiling warmly. Asuka's obsession with futomaki was a bit weird to her, but it seemed harmless and sort of endearing. Besides, she meant well.
>They both began to dig in, Asuka going at a seriously faster rate. Kagura was only halfway through hers when Asuka was done. She waited a bit more, but then began to get curious.
>"Hey, Kagura... How is your social life these days? I hope you're doing well." While Asuka's tone was obviously curious, it also sounded like she genuinely cared about the answer.
>"Well, uhm... I met a guy, and Naraku has started making friends and introducing me to them... She's really growing, I think..."
>"She is? That's great! But, I have to admit, I was kinda asking it to ask another question..."
>"Hm?"
>"Do you think you can maybe go out with the others sometimes? They're actually getting a bit curious about how you're doing, and I think they'd like to hear it from you directly, really. I hope you don't mind me asking you like this."
>Initially Kagura was confused, but Asuka's pleading eyes made her realise it was very important to her. Not to mention that she actually liked the idea of talking with the others again.
>"I'd love that, thanks..."
>Asuka began smiling again, and grabbed the third futomaki. "Well, now that that's sorted out, let's see where your exact limit of thickness lies!"
>She stuck her tongue out playfully and chomped the futomaki, leaving Kagura confused as to whether she meant it.
>She meant it.
