Mission Scroll/DetailsShow

B Ranked Mission Contract
For: Aizawa, Yoru & Hyuuga, Aina
From: Tei, Kawa of Konohagakure No Sato for Mamorinuku
Requesting: There have been more and more reports of intrusions to the perimeter of Konoha's defenses. While the intruders haven't been caught yet, in their haste to get away a jacket was left behind just a day ago, bearing the symbol of a local group of thugs, run by a man who goes by the name 'Red Dragon'. It's believed their gathering information for other MN but attempts to infiltrate the group have not worked.
Intel has been received stating the group will be meeting at a bath house in fire country, the trouble is, while they've greased enough palms to get the space, the only way in is as a couple. You two have been booked as a couple celebrating their honeymoon, giving you access to most of the bath house. You must find where the group are meeting and gather all information you can.
Time Limit for Mission: N/A

Aina was at home when she received the mission scroll, and she couldn't have helped the blush that came to her cheeks if she had tried. She was supposed to pretend to be Yoru's new wife or something? She wasn't sure how she felt about that, but it was a mission and so after escaping her brother Nobu's demands to know why she was blushing, she made her way to the gates where she was supposed to meet Yoru.

There seemed to be a rather nice carriage there already, she assumed to keep up the ruse. When she arrived she didn't wear her typical mission clothes, given their task, and instead wore a dark blue dress. The skirt was to her ankles though the slits came up past her mid-thigh, along with sandals that had straps wrapping around her calves almost to her knees. The top was sleeveless, the front opened up down from the collar to just between her breasts, and her hair was loose, coming down over her left shoulder. The young Hyuuga didn't seem entirely comfortable in the outfit, not very good at standing still as her arms crossed under her chest.

Yoru’s eyes darted up and down the mission scroll, he chuckled softly at the thought of him and Aina being husband and wife for the day. He could just imagine how awkward it would be for her and Yoru would make it unpleasant for her in his own amusement.

Yoru didn’t don his normal Jounin attire, he wore a grey short kimono, with a black sash wrapped around it, brown trousers and a pair of wooden sandals. His hair was wrapped in a ponytail and hung down to one side, carrying shinobi weapons wasn’t a good idea. He had a brown sack bag hung over his shoulder filled with spare clothes and some kunai and shuriken that would come in handy on the mission if things went downhill.

Aina was already there, he rose his hand and waved at her casual “Well, hello my love!” a grin fell across his face, it was crooked and his sparkling teeth were exposed. He walked over to cart, opened up the door and threw in the bag “Ladies first.” He said keeping open the door.

Aina returned the wave but in lieu of speaking, she simply blushed at his words. "Why do I get the feeling you're going to enjoy this too much?" she asked him as she turned and entered the carriage ahead of him. She took a seat and watched out the window a moment while she waited for Yoru to get in as well and the carriage started moving, the driver snapping the reins at the pair of horses that drew them and Aina turned to look at Yoru.

"Should we use different names for this or something?" she asked him. "I've never done something like this before..." she added, fighting her body's urge to blush again at the dual meaning in her words. Her mind was wandering quite a bit, she couldn't help but wonder just how far they might have to go to keep up this ruse. That could be the most awkward part for her really.

“Me enjoy making fun of you the whole time were on this mission?” a soft chuckle escaped his mouth “Never.” He whispered, he jumped up into the cart after her and sat next to her. She asked if they should use fake names “Yup, defiantly we’ll be the Hideki family and my name will be Shou, so Hideki, Shou and ummm Nana? I always liked the name Nana.” He said with a smile. Assuming these names were fine he banged on the cart for it to set off.

“So what do you know of this mission…. I kinda just glanced at it.” He admitted, when he was working alongside someone else he tended to be rather lazy and let them explain it to him all he knew was they’d have to pretend to be newlyweds.

Willoria · Post by **Willoria** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 2:06 pm

"Alright, I guess Nana would work." she remarked, still blushing rather furiously at the idea of having to pretend to be his wife. How awkward.

She couldn't help shaking her head though when he mentioned not knowing what else the mission entailed. "There's some local thugs that keep trying to infiltrate Konoha's defenses, they work for a man who calls himself the 'Red Dragon'." she told him. "Apparently they've somehow secured a place at this bath house for a meeting so we have to pose as newlyweds on our honeymoon to try and gather intel on them. Apparently honeymoon couples get more access to the place than others..." she remarked, still staring out the window as she thought things over, and she realized she didn't even know how honeymooning couples acted.

"Anything I should know about how we should be acting?" she finally asked, turning to look at Yoru as she tried not to blush any more than she already was. "...I don't exactly know anything about this... most Minoru and I ever did was a kiss, and I'm pretty sure he almost died when I kissed him." she added quietly, somewhere between embarrassed by giving up that information, and rather sad from bringing up the subject.

Lacarix · Post by **Lacarix** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 2:12 pm

He nodded taking in the information from the mission, it sounded quite straight forward “Do you know if it’s an overnight stay or just the day?” she then asked how they should act and he had to stifle down a laugh. He forgot how innocent Aina was sometimes “Well, we don’t have to go crazy. Just hold hands, maybe kisses on the cheek things like that. We’re supposed to be newlyweds so I imagine quite a lot of hugging and cuddling?” he suggested with a shrug.

“Just do what your comfortable with.” As she spoke about Mino, he sighed loudly he went to visit his old friend in the hospital. He simply laid their unresponsive, god he hoped he’d wake up soon. He missed him, he couldn’t imagine how Aina felt. The cart chugged through the fire country, Yoru as usual leaned towards the window taking in the sights “I don’t think I’ll ever get over this view.” He said with a smile “Do you know how far away the bath house is?”

"I think the room is booked for a night or two, but once we get the information we need we can go." Aina replied, turning to look out the window again. She felt so strange, not only going outside of the village, but she wasn't in her normal gear, her hair was down, and she didn't even have her typical makeup on. She probably looked like a rather typical girl, which was just odd for her.

"I'm not sure if we can go by my comfort levels..." she admitted quietly. "I'm not really comfortable with anything after all." she added, simply sighing as she thought about her last couple of visits to see Minoru. She had actually been falling asleep lately, sitting beside him and falling asleep with her head on his chest. More than once a nurse had awoken her to remind her to go home lately. When he had first gone into the hospital she had spent days at a time there, but as of late the staff seemed to have decided they wouldn't let her stay overnight if they could help it.

She was glad to have her thoughts interrupted as she turned to look at Yoru again. "It's not far away." she told him. "Honestly I'm starting to enjoy the views myself..."

Lacarix · Post by **Lacarix** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 2:24 pm

She said she wouldn’t be comfortable with anything, he simply rolled his eyes and shook his head “Well, just follow my lead ok?” he was worried that he may push it too far, he enjoyed winding up the girl but he certainly didn’t want to upset her or put her in an awkward situation. It was apparent they’d probably be working a lot together they’d been put on two missions together now and they seemed to work well as a team. He didn’t want to tarnish things between them, he needed to keep a good working relationship with her.

“I’m surprised you don’t already enjoy the views, but I guess when you see through the eyes of a Hyuuga the regular world is nothing in comparison.” It was odd, Yoru’s obsession with the byakugan. They held so much power and so much mystique about them. If he could, he’d have one himself, but that would mean killing a member of his own village and going rogue. He’d never do anything like that, nor could he even consider it.

Aina didn't miss the eye roll, her blush deepening at that. "Sorry..." she muttered, simply nodding when he mentioned following his lead. She couldn't help but think she was a bother to him on a mission like this, being so uncomfortable with so many things right now, and not necessarily because her former boyfriend was in the hospital. It made her start to feel like maybe she needed to gain certain experiences to do her job right, a thought she kept to herself for a moment.

Though the remark about her eyes caused her to shrug as she looked out the window again, though she still spoke to Yoru as she did so. "Nah, it's not that... my dad just always made it clear when he was training me that terrain was a tactical thing. Growing up, if I made a comment about something being pretty, I'd get a slap upside the head and told to focus, so I just never really looked at things like that anymore until now." she replied, sighing quietly. "Honestly these eyes aren't as great as everyone makes them out to be. I hate the fact that they make me just like everyone else in the clan. Without my make up... I just look just like everyone else in my clan. I'm just another Hyuuga... I'm not really me." she said quietly, shaking her head. "Something I probably just need to suck up and get over at this point."

As she looked further ahead, she could see the bath house coming into view and she sighed once more, trying to think about just how they were going to have to do this. She closed her eyes a moment, trying to recall how things felt when she was around Minoru, knowing that at the least she was going to have to somehow pretend Yoru was him if this was going to go according to plan.

Lacarix · Post by **Lacarix** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 2:42 pm

Yoru’s brow screwed up as she said she was hit on the back of the head if she said something was pretty “I guess it was different for me, I didn’t really have any formal training when I was a child. I came to the academy a little later than everyone else.” He admitted “I was raised as a farmer you see, so I guess we had to appreciate the land, it was our livelihood.” He kind of understood where Aina was coming from, he himself kinda of lumped the Hyuuga into a pile, they all did look similar and had very similar personalities so it didn’t surprise him so much that she felt like that.

The cart came to a halt as the pair arrived at the bath house “You ready?” he asked, he picked up the bag, flung it over his shoulder and opened the door to the cart. Yoru clambered out onto the path below and offered his hand out to the young Hyuuga woman assuming she took it he’d help her down. Once she was down his hand didn’t pull away, his fingers interlocked with hers as though they really were a couple. He nodded towards the door of the bath house “Let’s go check in my love.” He said with a smile, Yoru totally changed he seemed to be treating Aina like she was his wife.

He led her to the bath house pushed opened the front door and headed towards the reception “Hello, me and my wife have a reservation for the honeymoon suite.” He said with a smile, they swapped all the pleasantries and offered to take Yoru’s bag which he turned down he didn’t want the man feeling the weapons in the bag. They were led to a room that was twice the size of Yoru’s back home with a large circle bed in the middle of the room, chocolates, alcohol and flowers covered the room. The man left the two alone in the room and Yoru threw down the bag, picked up a box of chocolates and jumped on the bed and started to eat them straight away “I could get used to missions like this.” He said with a laugh.

"I probably would have loved something like that." Aina admitted as Yoru talked about a farm. Aina had never been on a farm really, but it sounded quiet to her, and definitely better than living a life where being with someone also meant losing them.

When Yoru reached out for her to help her out of the carriage, Aina took his hand and let him intertwine their fingers though it brought a slight blush to her cheeks yet again. She let herself lean against his shoulder a bit as they walked, her other hand moving to rest against his elbow. She was doing everything she could to try and keep up the ruse of husband and wife, but she had to admit, she was happy when they were escorted to their room and the door shut behind them. Though the room itself surprised her. "God the flowers make it look like they let my mother in here..." she muttered as she took a look around. Her mother and her flower garden had been a source of annoyance to her, as her mother was fond of slipping flowers into Aina's room which was always dark.

Aina moved to sit down next to Yoru and even snatched a piece of chocolate out of the box he had, looking it over before trying it. "Any idea where we should start?" she asked, her mind as usual was stuck on the mission only. "Anything I need to know to keep up the ruse, I mean... I don't know what I would or should know about you..." she added, motioning to the bed and the room. "Although I have accidentally seen you naked now..." she said with a bit of a blush and a chuckle.

Lacarix · Post by **Lacarix** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 3:09 pm

Yoru didn’t laugh as she made the joke about her mother, he didn’t get the reference so didn’t laugh but he managed to form his lips into a smile. She jumped down on the bed and took one of the chocolates “They are pretty good huh?” though to be honest Yoru was barely tasting them, he was scoffing them into his face, multiple chocolates at a time he barely had a chance to taste them.

“Umm, I don’t know really. We aren’t real people technically, so if someone asks something about one another just make it up and the other will go with it?” he suggested “You say it was an accident, but I’ve only got your word that it was the woman who took my clothes off me.” He laid his head on one of the pillows and got comfy “It could of being you.” He said with a nod. Now they had to think of where to start “Well, how about this… you go scope out the place and I stay here and um… keep guard of the room?” he suggested “Yeah, that’s it! I’ll guard the room and by guard the room I mean eat all the chocolates and take a nap.” He jested.

He saw towels folded in the corner, they were a gleaming white and appeared as though they’d being freshly pressed “Well, what would a couple do on their honeymoon in a bathouse, I guess they’d take a bath right?” This seemed the right idea, he stood up from the bed but not before grabbing another mouthful of chocolates and picked up two towels. He threw one to Aina then slipped of his short kimono exposing his torso, he slowly unwrapped the bandages that covered his age old scars. He didn’t like to show them, but he’d have to if they were going to take a bath together. He moved to the bathroom and peeled off his underwear and trousers, took off the bandages an then kicked off his boots and wrapped the towel around his waist. He waited a few moments before coming out of the bathroom so that he didn’t catch Aina in the buff.

Willoria · Post by **Willoria** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 3:17 pm

Aina blushed furiously as he accused her of being the one to undress him on their last mission. "I-I-It wasn't me, dammit!" she barely managed to snap at him as he took a towel into the bathroom, but the Hyuuga was already blushing from his remarks and seeing him shirtless again, not to mention what he was talking about. A bath? That meant being naked right?

She was still blushing as he left the room to finish undressing and she realized he left so she could undress too. It didn't take long for her to undresss and leave her clothes on the bed beside her, securing another towel around her body. By time he came out she was still blushing even down her neck. He wasn't the only one with scars, several scars showing on herself even in the towel as there was one around her neck from a wire and another over her heart though the latter was a bit more faint.

After waiting what he assumed was an appropriate amount of time, he pushed open the bathroom door and walked into the bedroom where Aina was wrapped in a towel of her own. He gestured towards the bedroom door “Ok, let’s head towards the bath. Stay close to me and try and look out for anything suspicious.” As the pair went through the door, Yoru chuckled and giggled randomly and wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close. It was a rather convincing performance “Relax.” He whispered in to her ear, knowing that she’d probably be awkward the moment he touched her.

HE continued giggling and chatting as normal as they moved through the hotel area out into the bath itself, it was a large unisex bath and was a natural hot spring. He undid his towel letting it fall to the floor and headed into the water. He kept his back to her, so she could do the same without him staring directly at her and when she was under the water they could act as normal.

Willoria · Post by **Willoria** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 3:45 pm

Naturally as he pulled her close to him, she felt herself stiffen even as she squeaked in surprise at the sudden move. She heard what he whispered to her and she fought her own discomfort, keeping an arm around him and giggling against his chest in response. She tried to remember how it felt when Minoru would hold her hand, how it felt when she fell asleep beside him after she broke her leg on a mission. It was an odd feeling, trying to apply it to the situation with Yoru, but she had to try.

As they walked along, Aina didn't really notice anything out of the ordinary, though as they got to the bath she saw there were a few corners with tables in the water, she assumed for snacks and drink and that sort of thing, and she saw in the corner furthest from the door was a group of about five rather burly men, which struck Aina as being a bit off since it was supposed to be a couple's retreat here.

As they got to the bath itself, she blushed yet again as she realized she would be nude in front of Yoru, something she realized as he dropped his own towel and walked in. She glanced around at the other occupants, taking a deep breath before she dropped her own towel and carefully walked into the water. "I never thought I could feel this nervous..." she said with a bit of a chuckle.

Lacarix · Post by **Lacarix** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 12:21 am

Yoru waited until Aina entered the water, once he head the splashing he turned around and smiled at her offering his hands out. Assuming she took them he’d paddle backwards with her in hand. He clocked the thugs table straight away, five men sat around at a couples retreat. It was them, 100% it had to be.

There were rows of tables all around, he nodded towards one as he let go over her hand and swam forward not to the table directly next to them but the one over where they could hear talking. He sat down on a ledge that was under the water and rested his hand on the table, he gestured for her to sit next to him. IF she did he’d cuddle up to her “Let’s get some food sweetheart.”

He ushered over the waiter who came towards them rather quickly “Ummm, can we have two tequila sunrises and I’ll have a beef salad, what about you honey?” as she was making her order he leaned back so he could listen to the thugs. They weren’t talking about anything of interest just general chit chat, they were playing a game of cards.

Willoria · Post by **Willoria** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 12:29 am

Still blushing, Aina reached out and took his hands, doing her best to smile as he swam further into the water. The water was crystal clear and so it was doing nothing for Aina's nerves and self consciousness. She knew Yoru could still see her, and fairly well at that, though she tried to forget about that.

As she sat next to him at the table she tried to take a deep breath to steady herself, an action interrupted by Yoru's sudden and very naked cuddling which didn't allow the blush to die down and the girl let out a quiet "meep!" of surprise as she turned to look at him. "Sorry..." she said quietly, forcing herself to lean against him and try to relax in his arms as he ordered something to drink. She bit on her lip a moment as she contemplated what to get and finally decided on one of her favorites. "A small bit of teriyaki chicken and some white rice please." she told the waiter, waiting until he left before she started trying to focus her hearing towards the group.

Part of her was so worried she might ruin things with her nervousness and behavior, chancing a glance up at Yoru with almost a sheepish expression on her face. She had no idea that her nervousness and shyness could be considered normal of a girl on her honeymoon... especially a girl untouched such as her.

Lacarix · Post by **Lacarix** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 12:36 am

Yoru smiled at her as she meeped, she was so rigid it wasn’t working very well. There cover would be blown soon if she kept acting like this, he pretended to be kissing her neck, when in fact his mouth was near here ear “You need to relax.” He whispered “If you don’t this whole mission will be a failure.” He wasn’t trying to scold her, though it may come across like that.

The waiter nodded at their order “I’ll be back in a moment with your drinks.” And with that the waiter went back into the hotel, Yoru wrapped his knuckles in a rhythmic tune. He kept an eye on the hugs to the side of them, they were yet to do anything eventful perhaps they were waiting for others? He wasn’t sure of what to do next.

Willoria · Post by **Willoria** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 12:49 am

"Tch." Aina had a hard time keeping the frustrated sound to herself as she leaned her head back against his shoulder as if enjoying what he was doing, though it wasn't entirely convincing. "I'm trying..." she told him quietly, though it didn't escape her notice that even though he wasn't actually kissing her, she could feel his breath on her neck which sent a shiver down her spine she hadn't been expecting. "How am I supposed to feel something if I don't know what it feels like? I'm a virgin, Yoru, I've never had more than a peck on my lips or my hand held... I don't have a clue how I'm supposed to act here." she added, forcing herself to lean into him more and relax more. Again she tried to put her mind somewhere else, as if this wasn't something incredibly awkward, and naked, and involving someone she hardly knew.

Meanwhile the men not too far away were laughing and having a good old time as a couple bottles of sake were brought, cups passed around and drinks poured, and it seemed one man finally piped up with something interesting. "I thought he wasn't going to be here for at least an hour yet, so why are we already here, Isamu?" one man demanded. He sounded impatient, sullen, as if he'd been sitting there in a huff the entire time rather than interacting with the others.

Another man gasped as if he'd just downed his drink and spoke with a tone that suggested a grin, and annoyance. "Look, we needed to be early to make sure we have everything. He wants all the information, so, to start, do we have their patrol schedules?" There were a couple of grunts of assent to answer the man before he spoke again. "Do they ever go off schedule?"

"Yes, in singles or pairs there's one or two random patrols a day." came another man's answer, his voice not as gruff, more fair, likely belonging to a skinnier man among the group.

"Any details on those?"

"There's a summoner kid... he nearly attacked allies the other day so he's jumpy as hell. There's a sensor too...."

"Tch, that's all you have, dammit?!"

"No! I have notes with all the details, just not here, didn't want the ink running."

The man, perhaps a leader, laughed. "Right! We are in the water after all... gah, I wish we had a drier place to do this."

“You don’t need to know how to love.” He said in annoyance “It’s a feeling, just act as though Mino is holding your hand and cuddling you. That’s it.” He was getting a little frustrated with her, it wasn’t her fault but she was over thinking something so simple. All she had to do was hold his hand and hug him with it making random noises. She relaxed onto him and his fingers stroked her shoulder trying to put her at ease.

His ears perked up as the men began to talk, they had the schedules and information on Mamorinuku shinobi or that’s what it sounded like. He said the information he’d written down, it was most likely in his room. One of them would need to go there and collect the papers, but they’d have to find out what room he was staying in. They would need to figure out his name first.

The waiter came back with a jug of tequila, which had grenadine and orange juice in it and two glasses. Yoru leaned over and poured them a glass each, picked it up and took a sip “We need to find out the intel guy’s name, then we can find out what room he’s in.” he muttered softly.

It took everything she had not to tear up at that. She had never actually said the words to Minoru, something she regretted now. She didn't say a word in response to his annoyance, she only tried to lean against him and even slipped under his arm about to pull his arm around in front of her. She wasn't thinking about the fact that his free hand was now on her hip, or where his upper arm rested against, for a moment she simply wanted to get comfortable enough to try and keep from crying.

She heard them talking too and waited until the waiter was gone to activate her byakugan so she could try to watch them without them seeing her gaze. She was glad for the distraction at least, she'd been learning to enjoy at least the fact that missions seemed to so quickly pull her mind away from her problems, from her hurt. She reached out with one hand and picked up the other glass, sipping at it carefully.

The men's conversation continued as they talked about the patrols, they talked about the merchants and the outlook towers, it seemed the men knew a great deal, at least about how things didn't work. But most of them at one point or another mentioned not having their notes on them.

Aina was trying to find a way that they could figure out names, and an idea came to her. Dropping her doujutsu she suddenly slid away from Yoru, a smirk on her face as she swam away from him, her back to the men as she actually moved backwards... and suddenly splashed Yoru playfully.

Lacarix · Post by **Lacarix** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 2:24 am

The waiter then brought over their food, his beef salad looked rather nice and he fancied something cool and refreshing in this heat. He twiddled the fork in his hand and pushed it into the leaves of lettuce and beef taking large mouthfuls. She seemed to have an idea of how to get their names and he was glad of it as he watched her turn her back to him.

Yoru smiled as he saw Aina swimming backwards and splashing at him, he got the idea straight away “I’m gonna get you Nana!” he giggled splashing water back at her as he swam after her. Splashing water too, she continued to back up closer and closer until she was almost at their table. God he hoped this worked.

Willoria · Post by **Willoria** » Fri Jul 17, 2015 1:29 pm

Aina squealed and turned to try and swim away, disappearing under the water for a brief moment but as she came up she knocked her head against the table of the men they'd been listening in on. "Ow!" Aina exclaimed as she stood. Sometime during her time under the water her hair had come undone and it hung went in her face as she rubbed the back of her head.

"Now look what just popped up here, fellas." One of the men said, a devious grin on his face at the sight of Aina beside him. "Now what are you doing here, lovely?" He asked,reaching out and running two fingers down her shoulder.

Aina hadn't really thought about how the men would react to a naked woman showing up in the midst of their meeting. "I'm so sorry." she sputtered, trying to not think about the hand on her bare arm, glad her eyes were hidden by her wet hair. "I'm here on my honeymoon, I guess we just got carried away." she added with a blush, motioning towards Yoru.

"Well you know..." the man leaned forward to whisper in her ear, grinning. "Why don't you come see me later instead? I guarantee you Arata can take better care of you tonight." he added, wrapping an arm around her waist.

Aina chanced a worried glance towards Yoru before turning to look at the man again as she pushed against him to try and get away. "Please just... let go of me..."

"Arata that's enough, let the girl go back to her honeymoon. You aren't here to get your dick wet." The first man said aloud, clearly grumpy with the behavior going on.

Arata rolled his eyes. "Come see me in room 22 later if you're interested." he whispered to her, before letting her go and pushing her towards Yoru.

Lacarix · Post by **Lacarix** » Sun Jul 19, 2015 1:18 pm

Yoru watched as Aina, banged into the table and one of the men seemed to get a little over excited. It angered him to see her grabbing at her like she was a piece of meat to man handled, his eyes narrows, his nostrils flared and his chest bulged out. Aina was pushed towards and he placed his arms around her as though to be protecting her. He started at the man with pure rage, the stanger glared back “You got a problem kid?!” Yoru was ready to head over and give him a swift punch to the face.

However he suddenly realised where he was and what he was supposed to be doing, he shrunk himself down trying to make himself appear as small and weak as possible. He spoke softly and with a slight stammer as though he was scared “N-n-no.. sorry sir.” He muttered, he took Aina by the hand and pulled her way from the bath “Let’s go sweetheart, I’m fed up of the bath.” He got out the bath and moved to the rack of towels, he passed her one and wrapped another around himself.

He led her into the hallway as quickly as he could and back to the room where they could speak freely. He smiled and squirmed with excitement “Great we know the room number, twenty two. I guess all we have to do is sneak in the room and take the info they have.” It all seemed too easy, could there mission truly be over so quickly? “Should we go now or wait till nightfall?” he asked with curiosity.

Willoria · Post by **Willoria** » Sun Jul 19, 2015 3:08 pm

As the pair moved away, the last thing they’d see or hear of the group would be Arata turning around and suddenly freezing considering the glare leveled at him by the man who seemed to be leading the meeting. ”Pull a stunt like that again and you’ll wind up on a slab, you understand me? That attracts attention I don’t want, got me?”

Arata shrugged, shaking his head in response. "Can you blame me? Come on, what if that one hadn't even been touched yet? Just wanted a taste..." the man's voice would fade away as the pair left.

Aina meanwhile was shaking the entire time as they left, barely able to wrap the towel around herself. Yoru might have thought it was an act until they got back to their room and he spoke, but she didn’t respond. She moved to the bed and sat on the edge, clinging the towel around herself as she closed her eyes and leaned forward, resting her head between her knees as she took a few slow breaths. She was quiet for several moments, finally standing and turning so her back was to Yoru as she picked up her dress and dropped the towel, sliding her dress over herself and pulling her wet hair back in a ponytail. ”For a second there I thought…” It was the most she said about what was going through her mind, but Aina just shook her head to get rid of it. She didn’t want to admit what she had feared might happen in the moments when that man had grabbed her.

”We should go now.” she finally said in response to Yoru’s question as she turned to face him. ”I’m not sure how long their meeting out there is going to go, but this might be the best chance we have.”

He looked at her in confusion as she sat on the bed, why wasn’t she as excited as him? There mission was almost over before it started, they had the room all they had to do now was break in and take the files. Then they were free to go home, they’d get a handsome pay for basically doing nothing. Then it dawned on him, the man grabbing her had affected her. He wondered though why she put herself in that situation, surely she knew one of them would grab at her they were villainous thugs grabbing women was a simple past time for them. Yoru however wasn’t a bottomless pit of emotion.

He walked over to the bed and sat down next to Aina, he took her by the hand and gently stroked his fingers across the back of her palm “Aina…” he whispered softly “You’re a strong woman you could of stopped those idiots with a flick of your finger and don't forget I was there to protect you.” He said with a gentle smile “I promise, I’d never let them do anything to you. You understand? Never.” He wasn’t sure what else to do, he wasn’t the best at comforting people. He simply tended to hug them and he did just that, he wrapped his arms around her in a hug. He stay in the awkward hug for a few moments then pulled away. They had a mission to do and they had no time to waste.

Aina suggested that they do it now he moved into the bathroom, picked up his clothes and brought them back into the bedroom. He turned so his back was to Aina and let the towel go and began to dress. Once he was satisfied everything was in the right place, he’d wait for Aina to calm down, collect herself and get ready before he suggested they do anything else.

Aina shook her head as Yoru tried to assure her that she could have easily defended herself. "A normal woman, not a shinobi, can fight off men like that. Not easily. If I had, our mission would have failed. I would have blown our cover. You saving me would have blown out cover. I.. I would have had to let it happen. And so would you." she replied before she went about her business of getting dressed.

Once she was ready to go she went over to the chocolates and popped one in her mouth even as she activated her byakugan. She took a moment to both relax and take a look around, seeing workers wandering around and even prostitutes. It took her awhile to find the room.

"So okay... There's someone in his room... Female... Probably a prostitute." she told Yoru before deactivating it and looking at him. "Should be simple enough to knock her out. Once we get to his room and take his notes we should be good.... right?

Yoru sighed, his eyes almost rolled as she said there mission would fail. Aina was the type of person to always see the worst in everything, she was a bit of a downer and seemed to struggle looking at anything optimistically “I’d rather fail, than let that happen.” He said firmly, some people took their shinobi duties too far. He was done with the subject, if it was brought up again he’d simply ignore her. He wasn’t one for dwelling on such things. He was a little annoyed with Aina for saying such a thing, how could she think that he’d simply let her go through someone like that over the mission. He’d never do it. He didn’t know anyone who would.

He stood waiting, his arms crossed in frustration. Waiting for her to get ready. She had on her clothes and told him there was a prostitute in the room or at least, that’s what she thought the woman was “We should tread carefully, she could be more than a prostitute, for all we know she could be with the thugs, maybe even there leader? We have no clue.” Yoru wasn’t the type to underestimate people, he’d waver with caution “We could get the key, no doubt the door is locked. I don't want to cause damage to the door, a clean entrance would be much better. But if there is someone inside we could simply knock. It’s likely they’d open the door.” He suggested, two options were posed to Aina, but perhaps she had another route to offer?

Willoria · Post by **Willoria** » Mon Jul 20, 2015 1:08 pm

She could tell he was frustrated with her, she wasn't completely inept but the frustration was a two way street. It wasn't that she was upset because he didn't seem to understand what she meant about not jeopordizing the mission, she felt like she should have been, but she wasn't. Honestly what was still eating at her was his statement about loving being easy. She was upset at what she felt had been an insinuation that she didn't know how to love, as well as a painful reminder that the only person she'd loved never even knew it and was now in a coma.

She was still trying to force herself to ignore it all, but needless to say she was going to be more than a little glad when this mission was over. "We can lift a key from the hostess station I bet, just need a distraction." she said simply, looking at Yoru. "Think you can cover the distraction?"

Lacarix · Post by **Lacarix** » Mon Jul 20, 2015 1:20 pm

Yoru quickly shook off his moody disposition, he was annoyed with Aina for talking the way she did. But it was done now and there was no point dwelling on it. She suggested they distracted hostess station, she asked if he could be a distraction “Distraction me?” he laughed “I’ve spent my entire life been distracted, I think I can manage it.” He moved towards the door, turned to Aina and nodded at her to see if she was ready. Assuming that she was the pair would move to the reception desk, behind it hooks and hooks of keys. There was the number 22, with what appeared to be the spare key on it.

He bound over to the desk leaned across it and smiled at the man behind the reception desk, he was hoping it was a young lady. He’d of been able to chat her up a little, but he couldn’t just assume this man was gay so chatting him up was out of the question “Hey, what time do you serve breakfast in the morning?” Yoru asked “Ah well sir, we serve from 6:30 to 8:30” he declared, Yoru sighed “Well that’s a shame, I was hoping to sleep in tomorrow is there any chance I can have breakfast later?” the receptionist nodded “Yes, however it’s added to room service and costs extra.”

“EXTRA?!” Yoru bellowed loudly “I’m on my bloody honey moon! I used my whole months wages to pay for this hotel and your demanding for extra? What am I, made of money?” the receptionists eyes widened “I’m going to complain to your manager! Get him. NOW!” the receptionist’s eyes widened even further “uh… yes sir.” He toddled off and Yoru leaned against the desk watching him go, he smiled at looked up at Aina “Number 22 right?” he said cockily “We’ll have to wait for him to come back though or he might get suspicious, want to go ahead and I’ll meet you there?”

Willoria · Post by **Willoria** » Mon Jul 20, 2015 1:29 pm

Aina stayed around the corner until the poor guy went racing off to find his manager and she simply shook her head as she came around and got the key. "I think you damn near made the poor guy piss himself." she said to him, still shaking her head. "Yeah, just meet me there." she said as she made her way down the hall with the key.

As she unlocked the door and walked into the room, what caught her off guard was that there was no one there. She could have sworn she'd seen someone. But just as she went to activate her byakugan, she was grabbed from behind and around the neck and the world suddenly went dark.

Lacarix · Post by **Lacarix** » Mon Jul 20, 2015 1:43 pm

Yoru nodded as she strode off down the hall to room twenty two. He tapped his fingers and his foot in a rhythmic tune. The receptionist came back with an older looking gentleman Yoru assumed was the manager. They spoke for a while discussing the issue until it was resolved. Aina and Yoru would be treated to a complimentary breakfast in the morning. Yoru licked his lips and rubbed his belly at the prospect, he hoped there trip would need an overnight stay so he could have it.

“THANK YOU!” he shouted as he ran off down the hall to room twenty two. He came to the door, placed his ear upon it to see if he could hear anything. Nothing. He wrapped his knuckles upon it, waiting for a reply. Yet again, nothing. He was starting to worry now surely Aina would of responded. He placed his hand on the door knob and opened it up, he looked in no one was there “Aina?” he whispered, no response. He stepped through the open doorway into room and began to look around, to see if he could find the files and maybe Aina.

Willoria · Post by **Willoria** » Mon Jul 20, 2015 1:52 pm

It wouldn't be until the door closed behind him that he would hear movement. The closet just to the right of the door opened and out stepped a scantily clad woman. Her skin was a nice tan, her hair long and brunette, her eyes a pale blue. Her body type was any man's dream, both breast and ass having plenty to grab and the fact that she wore barely any cloth over any of it certainly showed it all off. "Oh so you must be my date..." the woman cooed as she stepped out.

If Yoru didn't move to stop her shed having her arms around his waist and smiling up at him deviously only a moment later. "Meeting done then? Do we finally get our own fun?" she asked. Perhaps she was expecting Arata and had been hired without seeing him? The woman didn't have a blemish on her body except for a small tattoo of a red dragon on the back of her neck. The tattoo wasn't taller than three inches.

Lacarix · Post by **Lacarix** » Mon Jul 20, 2015 2:02 pm

Yoru watched the woman closely as she wrapped her arms around his waists, he looked her up and down she was very attractive perhaps a little too tanned for him, he liked his girls to be so pale they almost looked to have a serious illness. It was tempting to take advantage of the situation, but he didn’t trust her one bit. She was obviously more than she was suggesting, Aina had to be around somewhere he hadn’t been long.

He took her gently by the wrist, he edged forward unpursing his lips to move in for a kiss. Just as his lips came close to touching her, he yanked her around by the wrist dragging it behind her and slammed her against the wall. He was about to press a kunai to her side, but it dawned on him he didn’t have one on his person. Why didn’t he grab one from his bag? He’d got too over confident with the mission and wasn’t expecting to need one. Nevertheless he kept her in a tight grasp “Where is my wife?” he barked aggressively. It dawned on him that he was supposed to be undercover, so he threw it the wife line to perhaps throw the woman off if he needed to keep his shinobi identity a secret.

Willoria · Post by **Willoria** » Mon Jul 20, 2015 2:12 pm

The woman smiled almost sweetly up at Yoru even as he kept a hold of her. "What are you talking about?" she asked, keeping up the facade for a few more moments before she moved to try and headbutt Yoru in the nose, a move that would be followed by a knee to the groin as she attempted to get out of his grasp.

If she managed to get away, she'd get to the other side of the room, drawing a katana from behind the desk as she grinned at him. "You two really should have minded your own business." she remarked, clearly trying to keep herself between Yoru and the desk.

Yoru got a swift headbutt to the nose followed by a knee to the testicles. What was with women always trying to hit him in the bollocks? He groaned in pain, he was getting sick of this. He was thinking of buying himself a steel cup to put there. He stood up and watched her withdraw a katana. He sighed loudly, he looked around looking to use anything as a weapon.

There on the side of the table was a plate and a butter knife, with toast crumbs and pate on it. Obviously someone had ordered room service, it wasn’t ideal but it would do. His fingers edged towards the butter knife, spinning it in his finger tips “Look, we can end all this now. Let my wife go and we can call it a day.” He held the butter knife out infront of him, If he needed to he certainly was strong enough to pierce the woman with it. She certainly wasn’t wearing any armour and if he got her in the right position he was sure he’d get the knife inside her.

Willoria · Post by **Willoria** » Mon Jul 20, 2015 2:35 pm

The woman seemed to laugh. "Your wife? You mean your partner right? If she isn't dead yet, she will be. I'm going to pass her on to the men, let them do what they want with her. Imagine how that'll be for someone like her?"[/color] she taunted with that grin still plastered on her face even as she drew the katana from the sheath, slashing out towards Yoru's chest as she did so before the blade slammed back into the sheath.

The woman was a simple samurai, her clothing and tattoo a sign of her belonging to the same organization as the men in the meeting, just for a different purpose.

Though despite her words Yoru might not have realized that Aina was still in the room. She was in the same closet the woman had stepped out of.

Jutsu UsedShow

*Iaido • Swift Draw
D-Rank Kenjutsu
Prerequisite: 5 Taijutsu, 4 Speed
With the most widely recognized attack of Iaido style, the user draws their katana at a very quick speed, making a powerful slash in tangent with the draw. This technique is dependent on the user's overall reaction speed as it is usually only used when an opening presents itself or when the user needs to draw their sword quickly.

They were foiled, the woman in front of him knew that Aina and him weren’t newlyweds “Either way, you will be returning her to me.” The blade swung out towards him, he lifted up the butter knife placed in his hand and kept a firm grip on it. He brought it up ready to deflect the strike, his eyes widened as the butter knife was knocked back however he’d stepped back just enough for the strike not to be devastating. It cut through his chest, luckily just slightly through the flesh. She was fast, even too fast for Yoru.

The butter knife still in his hand, he realised that he wouldn’t be able to take her on in close combat. Yoru relied heavily on his speed and she was simply too quick. A samurai born and bred, that was obvious to him. It was likely she’d be weak to genjutsu and ninjutsu most samurai were. However to weave the seals he’d need to give himself a little time or at least a minor distraction. He flung the butter knife in a rotated manner to the wall to the right of him, hopefully to have her eyesight follow it. However it would ricochet off the wall and come directly towards her. While this was been done, he was frantically weaving a set of seals as quickly as he could “Don’t you want me to find my friend?” he said softly. If the genjutsu worked, the woman in front of him would instantly fall in love with Yoru. If Aina was conscious or at least capable of hearing it was likely she’d fall under the effects of the genjutsu.

UsedShow

*Ochiba • Dance Detour
D-Rank Bukijutsu
Prerequisite: 4 Strength, 4 Speed
Much like a floating leaf being swept away by the wind, the user will attempt to slap away an incoming melee strikes or projectiles with a weapon. Just as long as the user's speed and strength are equal to or higher than the opponent's and depending on the distance from which they detect the attack, they will be able to deflect the strike with the weapon, thus avoiding damage.

Minor Ricochet Shot
D-Rank Taijutsu
Prerequisite: *Rotation Shot
By using the same spiraling momentum from rotation shot, this allows the user to cause the tools they throw to ricochet off hard surfaces, such as concrete and stone. This will allow the tool to bounce or skip off a surface to the desired position, this only has one bounces and can only move in straight lines. This cannot be done on soft surfaces such as wood, grass or dirt & due to the tool losing its momentum its strength will be halved.

[Genjutsu • Demonic Illusion • Eye of the Beholder]
A-Ranked Status Genjutsu
After using the required hand seals and when the user says a statement ending in “want me?" anyone who has heard this statement will find the user irresistibly attractive despite their gender of sexual orientation. The target is unlikely to fight and will show signs of affection, compassion, sexual arousement, flustered, more willing to do as the user asks, give them gifts, will want to kiss the user and if multiple targets are affected will begin to fight over them they certainly won't want to cause any harm to the user. This is even more effective on those who love or care of the user, they will be more willing to fall for the genjutsu and find it harder to disbelief it. The genjutsu lasts for 4 posts.

The woman brought up her sword to block the ricochet'ed butter knife, turning her eyes back to Yoru just as the genjutsu took effect. Sure enough, she had taken no time to learn the basics, and certainly no time to learn genjutsu or how to defend against it. For a moment she stood there before dropping the katana to the ground and walking over to Yoru, smiling up at him. But rather than the smile looking sickening sweet like it was faked, it seemed genuine.

One hand came up to caress a cheek as she smiled and asked a simple question. "So what do you want from me?" Her other hand moved to rest at his waist, as if she were waiting for something other than a simple instruction. Meanwhile, during this entire exchange, Aina had been slowly coming to in the closet. Her hands and feet were bound, she was gagged and groggy, but she still heard the words.

Lacarix · Post by **Lacarix** » Mon Jul 20, 2015 3:08 pm

He sighed with relief when his genjutsu took hold and immediately started to channel chakra within his body“I want you to give me all files of intel you’ve collected earlier.” He said with a firm commanding voice, she did just that she turned on her heels and walked over to a cabinet by the side of the bed and brought back a puzzle like contraption. Just as she did this Aina fell out of the wardrobe, she was bound and gagged. “Open the puzzle box for me.” He said to the samurai, who did just that she twisted it around over and over until it opened with a satisfying click. Yoru crouched down, pulled the gag from Aina’s mouth and pulled it over her eyes “Wait here for me, just for a moment.” He whispered softly. He didn’t want her to see what he was about to do.

He stood up from his crouched position, took the files and looked them over they appeared to be what they needed. He gestured for her to come closer “How about you give me a kiss goodbye?” She smiled and came over to him, she kissed him on the lips nibbling it gently Yoru returned the kiss passiontley he opened his mouth and placed his tongue in hers, there was a lot more to this than met the eye though. Yoru slipped acid from inside himself down the woman’s gullet. It burned her internal organs, killing her instantly. She dropped down on the floor with a thud. The acid would burn through her body soon enough and likely eradicate any evidence she was even there.

He turned to Aina, wiped away any residue from his mouth with the sleeve of his shirt and untied the young girl “Aina, you saved me last time. This time I saved you, fortunately for you, you aren’t naked.” He chuckled softly. He picked her up in his arms, but not before picking up the katana and placing it in his sash. He opened the door with his free hand, closed it shut and ran to their own room where they could gather their thoughts and check through the files.

UsedShow

[Acid Release • Adders Embrace]
A-Rank Ninjutsu
After channelling and concentrate acid within their body for a full post, the user will have until the end of four posts to take the target by the head and embrace them in a kiss. If the user succeeds in executing this jutsu, if the kiss is successful the user will release the acid from their body through their mouth into that of the targets. This Acid will then enter the targets body, ripping through their internal organs and destroying any body tissues that stand within it's path, in turn it is likely to cause death.
