[Graded][Plotboard] The Boatman Calls

Post by Willoria » Tue Jan 31, 2017 4:44 pm

[Plotboard] Of Bandits & Captives Yuri didn't much like missions without much in the way of details, but while she had started her day thinking that was happening, she quickly garnered more information. Pulled aside by a member of the first Hirohito family she was filled in on a few more details regarding the hostage taken, information that was still circling in her mind as she made her way to the docks. Normally she hated being lost in thought in such a way, but she knew she was alright just now, and no one bothered her much except for the random child here or there that insisted on petting her, but a quick scratch usually took care of that.

Of course this was because Yuri was in her feline form. She trotted down the path, an all black cat with green eyes, stopping only when she finally got to the docks and realized rather quickly that she was pretty early. She didn't see Kasai, who she had been informed would be with her in this particular mission, so she decided to find a cozy place to wait. Remaining as a feline she pranced down the docks until she found the small boat that would take them across the water, then found a crate nearby. She climbed on top of it and curled into a little ball, her head up and alert however as she watched people pass and waited for Kasai to arrive, as well as the boatman.

She tolerated it as people paused in their day to pet her, but she gave no sign of being anything other than a cat, though she did accept a piece of sushi to eat at one point, nibbling away and mewing quietly as she ate it. She was still there when the boatman arrived, muttering about his discomfort in dealing with shinobi and their "majicks" as he called them. She could have said something but instead remained in form, waiting for Kasai and trying not to say anything as the boatman ironically began petting her and talking to her about his 'irritating' cargo that should be soon arriving.

A thin shroud of the famous Water country mist still clung to the area around the waterfront, obstructing ones vision to fifteen meters or so. From the edges of the patrons and workers vision a shadowy figure of almost gigantic stature began to become visible through the mist now. After a few moments the large shapeless mass of darkness energetic to become slightly visible now. A mess of two to the in spikey crimson hair and a set of golden eyes were the only distinguishing features aside from the man's massive size but as he drew close with slow, methodical steps the outline of a large bandaged zanbato.

The masked shinobi was none other than Kiri's Black Reaper, with the noticeable features of a masked face, golden eyes, and a massive sword. Today the shinobi also had a simple black cloak on that concealed the worn and damaged grey Kiri Jounin flak which was the only item that Kasai wore upon his upper torso. Which hid a thin wound that ran horizontal across the man's broad chest, one that would soon be another scar upon the Toukai’s skin with each scar having us own memories. This specific soon to be scar was actually given to him by the very woman who he had be paired with fir this mission. Oh his fun this mission might be..

An unseen smirk found is way onto the swordsman's hidden lips, even a faint glimpse of the man's teeth could have seen if not fir the dark fabric of the mask. Briefly recalling the memories of the day that he had received the wound from Yuri, her impressively fast Swordsmenship and other more personal things about the fellow jounin. Upon stepping onto the wooden dock the trademark eyes of the Toukai clan scanned the various individuals that were moving here or there during their daily routines. Finally the man's eyes settled into a boatman that was near the end of the piercing peeing upon a black cat.

Didn't he know that black cats were bad luck? The cloak swayed back and forth as the large figure and his footsteps no longer seemed to make a sound. A few moments later and it was almost like he had appeared directly behind the said boatman listening as he complained and his cargo to the car he was currently petting. Finally now Kasai spoke in a deep voice now...showing no concern for where his partner was nor giving any indication that they would be waiting any longer to depart from the tone he spoke in.

"Is the boat ready to depart?

[Graded][Plotboard] The Boatman Calls

Post by Willoria » Wed Feb 01, 2017 1:50 pm

In feline form Yuri was content and happy to allow the boatman to pet her, despite everything he was saying. The green eyes turned suddenly towards the Reaper as he approached, even before he spoke to the boatman. Perhaps just because cats were that astute? Or perhaps because Yuri was simply that alert as she awaited her partner's arrival? Either way the cat turned and as the Boatman himself jumped at the sound of the voice the feline mewed quietly and jumped down from the crate.

The Boatman spun to face Kasai, seeming to say something at least until he realized he was being towered over. The Boatman himself was no small man, standing nearly six foot he was used to towering over others. But he seemed to wither at the Reaper who stood over him now, clearing his throat before he was finally able to speak. "Uh... yes... yes it is." he managed. "The current will carry us, I will steer... is your partner here? I was told there were two of you." He seemed to be gaining his confidence back as he spoke, but it didn't last long.

The moment the cat had jumped from the crate it had moved behind the man and, unknown to him, stood up on her hind legs before transforming into the woman Yuri. She grinned behind her mask and stretched, yawning loudly as the Boatman finished speaking and jumped at the sight of her. He clearly hadn't heard her either, and still had no idea she had been the feline a moment before, though Kasai likely would have seen the change. "I am here." she told him simply, grinning at Kasai. Her lips may not have been visible, but her eyes betrayed the grin plenty. "What shall we call you then?" she asked him.

"Uh... Daichi."

"Then let us leave, Daichi-san." Yuri said as she turned for the boat and climbed in, taking her seat in the small vessel.

'A cat transformation?'

Even the experienced Reaper couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the figure of Yuri transforming back into her normal self from cat form. It would seem that even though the Toukai had seen every square inch of her body that she still had quite a few secrets left for him to discover. That eyebrow slowly lowered itself back to the standard positron before he turned to follow his companion for this little journey. Their was still some information that he was lacking at this time in regards to this particular mission and perhaps his partner could fill him in on a few things during the boat ride.

The long, flowing cloak swayed lightly from side to side as he soon took his first step into the vessel feeling to pitch to his side between his own weight plus that of his world Breaker upon his back. From within the concealed upper body the right arm broke through from the shadowy concealment and reached up to take a firm grasp upon the weapon's hilt. A faint click could be heard as the massive sword was removed from its holstereally followed by the weapon being brought in front of the man and then transitioned to the bow exposed left hand. Either hand seemingly able to wield the weapon with mouse effort needed, taking a seat directly Bessie his partner on Yuri'sleft side the long wagon was paved down by its owned left side.

"I didn't realize how kinky you were, little Neko."

Kasai couldn't help himself to poke verbally at the younger woman next to him given their last encounter, but it was safe to say that both still had man secrets they has yet to expose. But, to break the silence having a little flirt with the woman would help pass the time of the boat ride. Plus, their was still time later in which he would be able to ask Yuri if she had gained Abby additional information about their mission as he had truly came up empty handed in his attempts...

Yuri watched in silence as Kasai got into the small vessel, smirking as she had to grab onto one side of the boat to keep from being toppled as his weight shifted it around so strongly. But that was the only movement she made as the man boarded and sat beside her, her eyes shifting away from him then to watch the Boatman Daichi as he nervously got into the back end of the vessel and took a great staff from nearby. With it he pushed away from the shore, the boat dropping into the water to just two inches shy of the top of it. Daichi remained on his feet, using the staff to push them here and there, steering them across the water, leaving Yuri to realize this kind of vessel meant the water would be shallow the entire way.

A smirk crossed her lips as she heard Kasai's little flirt and she finally turned her vibrant blue eyes onto the man once more. "You didn't think you knew all my secrets already did you?" she asked him quietly, her eyes sparkling mischievously with the statement. "A woman's body, and what she can do with it, is never a secret." she chided teasingly. "That is just a tool, I would have thought a famed swordsman like yourself knew that already."

As she spoke a hand reached out to touch his, something others might see as being sweet or even adorable. It was enough to earn a quiet scoff from Daichi before he turned his eyes back to the water. But Yuri traced a shape over the man's hand, Kanji as she spelled out words.

The first word was Daichi's name.

The second was 'betrayal'.

When the man had been whispering to her as she was a feline, he had given away a key bit of information, the same information making him sweat even now as he wondered if Kasai had heard it but still not realizing Yuri was the one who had, that she had been the cat. The boatman had sold them out, and an ambush waited on the opposite shore.

"Of course, little demoness."

A faint chortle managed to escaped the masked man's lips at the words from his female companion, of course he didn't believe that he knew all of her or even just some of her hidden secret. But that was what made working with her so much fun in his opinion. Kasai couldn't help but wonder what kind of fun the pair would get into this time and the man wasn't even thinking about the kind of fun between to consenting adults. He was pondering on the only thing that could compare to that, though...battle! Yet, as the woman seemed to become almost sweet as she reached over to touch the back of his bandaged had something immediately felt off.

'I see...'

From his perspective of Yuri, if she had reached over to flirt then she wouldn't have chosen simply his hand, he knew that much. So when the woman began to seemingly trace s few shapes onto his hand her message became clear. Seeming to flabbergasted over with a 'loving' look, the woman would know that her partner understood. It was then that the man lifted that same large, bandaged hand and used his pointer finger to playful caress the bask of her hand. The words in his reply, 'I could use s warm up', while an unseen smirk crossed the Reaper’s thin lips before actual word managed to escape then.

"You're w as sweet as ever. "

Casually the man then retracted his hand from her own and thenot slowly laid back, lowering his back down across the bench seats that had been directly berths them. Seemingly preparing to catch a quick nap on the journey across the water, but in reality the man's left hand had its focus fidgeting slightly from the excitement of battle. As a swordsman and a Toukai...it was what they loved for the most in life...hopefully this that were lying in wait would not be a disappointment for the pair swordsman. He felt that Yuri possibly felt of the same opinion as himself in regards to this matter. Plus, their was only a few things that ranked even close to the feeling of battle for Kasai. The first was sex and the second was getting rid of trash that thought they could trample on the image of his glorious village. That was an unforgivable sin, one only punishable by death....

[Graded][Plotboard] The Boatman Calls

Post by Willoria » Wed Feb 01, 2017 11:13 pm

The boatman saw the Reaper return a similarly sweet gesture and seemed to shudder at it. It apparently unnerved the man to see two people he already knew to be killers, being so sweet to one another. It made him ill, and he tried to keep his gaze from them as he continued their ride down the river. Yuri of course giggled at the return though a sideways glance away from the boatman towards the shore was as much an indication as her return message would be.

Her hand returned to his and traced kanji once more, a simple message. 'Let them think they have us.' She wanted to wait for them to arrive at the shore and spring the trap, so long as she and Kasai knew it was an ambush, it wouldn't be a trap at all.

Besides, she really didn't want to risk losing their way this early, the boatman was necessary until they touched the shore. As Kasai lay down as if to nap, Yuri chuckled and moved as if to lay across him, her chin resting on his chest as she grinned behind her mask. All more movement to allow the boatman to believe they were unaware and their guard was down. But even with her glave and sword in sheathes, Yuri was never unaware and her guard was never down.

Her eyes was on the distant shore as it slowly approached, the trip would only total about half an hour to the other island, and when the trees and shore came into view she tapped Kasai on the chest with a single finger to let him know they were nearly there.

As the man lay down across the flat bench seats that were built into the boat Kasai simply smiled behind his major and allowed for the pair of piercing golden irises to fade from sight behind a closing pair of eyelids. Feeling the young woman lay across him with her chin upon his chest the man's bandaged right hand lifted up and came to rest lightly onto the small of her back. It's finger tips tracing a slow circle upon her while the left hand seemed to fall down to his side where it's finger tips casually moved up and down the battle worn hilt of his zanbato.

Now it was simply a waiting game for the pair as they were just along for the ride at this point, for a traitor such as this boatman Kasai had a vision of paling the man's head with one hand and crushing it in upon itself. But that little fantasy had to wait a little long as he allowed for Yuri to keep a watch on the shoreline, he'd be able to tell instantly if she spotted anything note worthy by the way her body moved and reacted. Following such an action he would be less than a half step behind her...the simple anticipation of slaughtering who ever these insects were made the man's muscled chest tense slight but the rhythm of his heart remained slow and steady...they were fully dragons amongst me. Despite appearing like sheep at the moment.

Even for Yuri there was that brief moment of temptation. Laying across Kasai's chest, her chin resting on him as she could hear his even breathing and even feel his heartbeat. It was relaxing, and this was a moment she was certain other women would wish for. But for Yuri it wasn't right at all, if anything it felt a bit awkward. She was honestly more than a little happy as the shore came into view and she began to tap on the man's chest, letting him know they were drawing close.

Out of the corner of her eye she saw the boatman shift where he stood, a single motion made with his hand, and the woman smirked. "How much did they pay you?" she asked.

The boatman froze as his eyes rest on the woman. "Wha-what?" he asked, stuttering.

"I asked, how much did they pay you?" she repeated, turning to look at him with that smirk still on her lips under her mask. "For a man who works with shinobi, you do forget how we like our tricks." she said, shifting and sitting up, her eyes on the boatman as she could almost feel eyes from the shore. "Did you really think your secrets were safe with a feline?"

The man froze in place even as a handful of arrows came from the shoreline. Yuri's glave unhooked with a light 'clink' before it sang quietly, spinning in her hands and deflecting the arrows. "Three." she told Kasai, pointing quickly. "I'll take Daichi." As much as she wanted to watch Kasai take down the men before them that had waited in ambush, the boatman was a viable concern still.

The gentle tapping of the woman's slender fingers upon his chest seemed to bring the sleeping gushy back into this world as a pair of golden eyre snapped open and he sat up slowly. Reaching across his body the man's bandages right hand took hold of a worn hilt, seeming to drag it with his as the mountain of a man started to stand rocking the boat slightly in the process. It was at this moment that he two could feel the eyes upon them from the approaching shoreline...or perhaps it was their weak killing intent that he felt...only three?

"Fine..."

As his comrade started in with her viper tongue on the boatman the man sighed aloud, as he had wished to deal with the traitorous scum himself. But the world truly was first come first serve sometimes and this time he was second. The Reapers voice was clearly showing disappointment at not getting his way, almost wondering if she had done so on purpose. Shaking his head as the handful of arrows approached him an upward slash of his sword cleared his pathway of the weakly shoot arrows along with a good chuck of the side of their boat. With the arrows gone chakra instinctively moved into the soles of his feet allowing him to stand atop the rising and falling current of water that had just been disturbed.

But this point the weapon had already been replaced upon his back, from just the simple first exchange these clowns were not worthy of being slain by such a sword as his. The man's entire body seemed to tense now as the pair of archers of the trio began to prepare their second volley after getting over the initial shock of being discover so easily on their ambush. Kasai's stance widened slightly as his right hand drew back with its hand curling into a large fist. Then his body seemed to disappear from sight as his sheer strength pushed his body forward at amazing speed toward one of the archers who just happened to be the center man.

"Let me stretch my legs!"

From where the massive swordsman had vanished from a wake of water seemed to explode upwards and back toward the boatman and Yuri that was three to four meters high. Kasai himself seemed to appear directly in front of the center archer with the arm chocked bask ready to release all this strength and momentum in a single punch. It descended in the blink of an eye as what seemed to be a powerful explosion of diet and crimson mist spayed into the air. The other archer was sent sprawling away from the sheer force of the impact on his fellow man while the other man, a swordsman from the looks of it, dodged away only catching a small portion of the residual impact force.

As the dirt and dusty cleared one could see a large the meter wife and nearly two meter so crater had been formed at the head of Kiri's Black Reaper was the only thing visible. He slowly turned towards the stunned archer to his left who hadn't even managed to get up from the ground yet. A bandaged right hand no longer in a fist was now dripping a dark crimson liquid from its fingertips, down at his feet was the corpse of the archer. His chest had a hole through which one could see straight through to the shattered ground beneath him if it wasn't for the mangled mess of organs and bones that one man up the man's upper torso. The look of disparity and horror fled onto his face forever now...

"Now I only have you two left to pay with...kek"

The deep voice carried with it a short, villainous chuckle as he shook the right hand to force off some of the pieces of the dead man...he wouldn't get to deal with the boatman after Yuri was done with him so these two would need to do. Judgingfrom their apparent weakness they had been sent to their deaths anyways by who ever wanted to see the strength of the Kiri ninja's that had came. Kasai figured this much and he would give them a grand show soon enough with these remaining two men...

[Graded][Plotboard] The Boatman Calls

Post by Willoria » Sun Feb 05, 2017 9:15 am

The boatman was hardly an opponent. As Yuri challenged him she could see he was ready to damn near piss himself just at the conversation, she'd wager he actually would if she were to draw her weapon right about now. She reached out and grabbed the man by the collar of his clothing, pulling him forward and onto his knees in the boat, causing it to rock heavily as she leaned down to talk to the man.

Their words were harsh whispers, the man mostly just begging for his life as Yuri grilled him. But by time she was done with him she said a single word aloud. "Weakness." And a moment later she had drawn the sword from her hip, thrusting it straight through the man's neck. She would wipe the blade clean before sheathing it, looking up to see the way Kasai was toying with his targets. She couldn't help a smirk at that. The man was certainly good looking, and his brutality was near unmatched, both things Yuri liked about the man.

She stepped off the boat with a sigh as she watched, waiting for Kasai to finish with these other two before she would speak. After all, she had taken what was likely the target of his rage already, it was only fair that she let these two fall to his blade as well instead of trying to step in at all.

Just as the large man stepped out from within the crater that he had created, leaving the bloody pool of what was the first archer in the bottom, a set of golden irises had already locked into the other archer. To the swordsman using a ranged weapon was a clear sign of a coward and such filth needed to be wiped clean from his homelands soil. Yet, before he could begin to deal with these vermin the sound of rapidly approaching foot steps could be heard from behind. The familiar sound that a blade makes when it cuts through the air excited the man as he turned his body to the side as a horizontal sweeping blade crashed into the bandaged sword still holstered upon his back.

"Hmm, that's it. How disappointing..."

Kasai's faint, unseen smile instantly turned sour as he couldn't even feel the impact on his blade, so weak. As a swordsman he had wished for at least some strength or sword play that would cause him to at least expend some sort of effort. But not only was this for no true swordsman but the crudely made weapon could not even be considered a sword in the Toukai’s eyes. Spinning to the inside of the halted attack one of the man's large hands clamored down on those of the wide eyed man's that had been firmly grasping the swords hilt. With a squeeze the man let it a sharp cry of pain't as the sick cracking of bones could be heard, with his free hand the Kiri Jounin told hold of the actual blade just below the hand guard.

"You dare to attack me with such an embarrassment of a weapon...this can not even be considered a sword!"

Spoken almost as if in a rage the Reaper used sheer strength to snap the blade of the hilt before raising the man by his hands into the air to the point that his feet no longer were able to touch the ground. Because this man had at least pretended to be a swordsman then he would be granted a swordsman's death, twirling the blade between the bloodied bandaging of his right hand he gave the blade a powerful thrust. The broken blade's point stabbed directly into the small framed man's heart and out the back of the torso. Then as if throwing away a piece of trash Kasai tossed the body to the side and turned aso an arrow passed by about a foot from his face.

"So you had a spout of courage?"

His words sounded almost sincerely as the remaining archer had finally manged to recover his baring enough to fire another arrow, though missed from being still do mentally shaken seeing the shinobi's brutality...knowing that he was next. He fumbled ring to notch another arrow as the Reaper began to advance in his directing once more. Frightened the commoner turned to attempt and fleeing but as he turned his back the man's left wrist was snatched up by great force. A force which instantly crushed the thin wrist before he felt the same painful injury on the other wrist before he could even scream.

"Nother so fast...we aren't done playing yet..."

Screams of agony filed the beach side as the words were whispered into the enemies ear. Placing one fit on the back of the caught man's knee the Reaper drove the man down into his knees while Kasai held onto a wrist in either hand. Then without another weird the mountainous man's and bulged before he ripped both outward inturn causing the pinned man to scream even louder before the sickening sound of flesh and bone tearing mixed in with the screams. Both armsat the elbow were torn of by the Reaper’s strength alone as blood spayed out with stump as the wailing man crashed face first into the ground.

But in Kasai's mind, letting him bleed out was to simple a death and he had not fully quelled the rage that still lingered inside him. Releasing his grip upon the lifeless pieces of the face down man's arms the left arm of the large man once more disappeared into the cloak he wore while after two steps forward the already bloodied right hand palmed the man's skull and lifted him from the ground until he was being held straight out in front of the Kiri-nin. The muscles in the right forearm clenched as a popping sound could be heard. The man who had nearly fallen unconscious suddenly had his eyes bulging out of his head, the popping sound now became a cracking sound as the finger tips sunk into the skull of the man before finally the strong bone of the skull crumbled under the strength allowing the head to be crushed.

It was only then that Kasai released the limp body that crumbled onto the ground like a rag doll, exhaling slowly the man's anger had been unleashed enough for now. With a flick of the right hand he flung of debris from crushing the dead man's skull before turning to walk towards his partner who had finished routing with the boatman already it seemed....speaking in a calm, everyday kind of tone to Yuri, as if the had just run into one another on the street. No sign of the brutality could be found in his tone of voice or the expression given of by those golden eyes that were looking the young lady up and down at the moment.

"Shall we be off, then?"

Post by Willoria » Sun Feb 05, 2017 2:11 pm

Yuri crossed her arms in silence and watched as things progressed for the Reaper. The man was capable of extraordinary violence, and Yuri felt almost hypnotized by it as she watched as things continued. After he killed the second man, she reached up a single hand and pulled her mask down, smirking and biting on her lip as she watched the death of the last one.

By time Kasai was finished, he would hardly have time to ask his question before the woman was on him, arms around his neck and one hand pulling his mask down just far enough for a hard kiss before replacing it. With a chuckle she stepped back from him and pulled her own back up, hiding her face once more. "Shame we don't have time to stop yet." she said simply before chuckling and turning to lead the way down a small path.

There was a small shack up the path that would serve as their little headquarter's during the mission, and that was exactly where Yuri was heading. She knew fuuin had been placed on the building by others to avoid the pair being overheard as they would discuss the mission itself. It was such preparations the woman was glad for, otherwise such discussions would be so much more difficult.

It would be nearly an hour before they got there, the building containing a single cot on either side and a table in the middle. Otherwise the walls were scrawled in various markings that Yuri only knew were the fuuin, she was otherwise unfamiliar with them entirely. As she shut the door behind the pair she simply sighed and leaned against it a moment before looking at Kasai.

"How much were you briefed on?" she asked, wanting to know where he stood before she began filling him in on more information.

The man barely had time to react add the woman was already upon him as his last word escaped from behind the thin masked lips. His hands instinctively reached around and supported the woman hanging on his neck by curly grasping onto each of her hind quarters, not bothering to resist having his mask briefly puked down for hard kids that he equally returned to its sender. Releasing his grip as she puked back the fingertips of the left hand gently fixed the cloth half face mask bask into its proper place before he responded back to Yuri.

"Such a tease, we'll have to finish this later..."

Sadly, even though her words felt like a tease that were also true, now was not the time or place for a second round of kinky fun. Laughing lightly the man simply nodded and feel in behind the sexy demon, traveling for nearly an hour but at least the'scenery was nice as the man admired the slender woman's figure and the was her weapons swayed back and firth with her hip. The hour passed and he entered the small hut of a building which had been prepped die their arrival and would serve as a temporary home base for planning proses. The large man turned slightly sideways to compensate for the length of his bandaged zanbato upon his back.

"Only what was on the briefing scroll..."

Kasai didn't turn around just yet as the door closed, golden eyes scanned the various fuuin placed on the walls. Some reinforcing the strength of the building itself as others seemed to create a barrier that trapped sound within the hut, this place would do. The sigh that he heard made the Reaper turn his body sideways to look at the woman who spoke. From the simple usage of her words and body language it would seem that their was undoubtedly something he didn't know or perhaps something the village want fully aware of with this mission. After the brief pause in the Kiri-nin's words he turned to fully face her allowing the blood stained right hand to extend it and press lightly onto the door just by her left ear.

"...what should I know, my little demoness?

Normally the situation presented before her was something Yuri would take full advantage of. They were alone, there was a table, and Kasai's hands were still stained with blood. As a woman completely enthralled by physical power, the way he loomed over her now, keeping her position against the door, was almost the start of a perfect fantasy for the woman. Yet despite this as the man asked his question and she looked up at him, her blue orb meeting his gold, she knew the subject matter just wouldn't allow for it.

"The hostage." she began simply, reaching up to remove the cloth from both over her head and over her face, revealing her raven dark hair in its entirety as she spoke seriously. "He is of the Hirohito." she added, her eyes dropping from Kasai's briefly. This was a piece she wasn't required to fill him in on at all, and in fact many likely would have told her to wait and only if necessary, but the woman hated hiding things from the very people she had to work alongside.

"We are not here for a rescue." While silence had fallen after her last statement, she had abruptly cut it clean with her words, her eyes lifting back to Kasai's. "I have been informed the boy is to be considered lost. If he hasn't given up information to the enemy, then he has shamed his name by being captured. We are to kill him as well." It was a somber thing, killing a fellow shinobi, but in such cases, it was an unfortunate side effect to capture.

"I see..."

A faint sigh could be heard through the thin piece of fabric, so this was not as simple as matter as they had made it out to be. But it wasn't like three experienced jounin hadn't already considered this yet he honestly didn't expect Yuri to be so honest and forward with him in this matter. It was a family matter, much the same sort of situation it would have been if it had instead been a clan matter for the Toukai. Gazing into her blue orbs for a fee moments the large man straightened his posture while removing his bloody bandaged hand away from the door.

"...how you deal with this matter is up to you, I'll not interfere in such matters between you and this chuunin."

Kasai spoke frankly, knowing that being captured was a shameless thing that no Toukai would allow, they would fight to either victory or allow glorious death...they were taught that these were the only options for them in this life. Given most other clans and families weren't like this and in Kiri most clan's or families were left to handle their own internal affairs. Shaking his head lightly at the sudden somber mod he decided to change the subject a little and spoke once again now..

"Well, that kind of killed the mood."

He laughed lightly and turned walking over to one of the single racks and removed the massive zanbato and seemed to take care as he placed it upon the deck and then took a seat on the simple rack after removing the cloak and tossing it across the racks end...

Perhaps most women would have found Kasai's comments dismissive, but Yuri clearly wasn't most women. It was the response she would have expected from any reasonable shinobi, yet she still preferred to share the information when necessary. Some shinobi didn't take surprises so well, and even in Kiri there were a few who had a strange moral compass that Yuri could not grasp. She simply nodded at Kasai's response, turning to the table as he went to his cot. She laid out a map and looked it over, almost no markings on it as of yet. They would be filling in that information at a later date, once they surveyed the camp.

She couldn't help a chuckle at his mood comment, raising an eyebrow at the man as she straightened up. "Well we are on mission... and stuck discussing tactics..." she remarked as she walked towards him slowly, a tell tale smirk on her lips as she spoke. "I can always make it more interesting..." she added as she got close to him, reaching out to rest both hands on his shoulders as she moved to sit on his lap, one knee resting on the cot on either side as she leaned in to kiss hi m deeply.

"We should go in tonight... start surveying their camp..." she started, kissing down the man's neck as she spoke, grin still firmly plastered on her face. "Check patrols... traps..."

Their was just something about a cruel, cool blooded woman like Yuri that truly his all the wickets fir three Toukai clansmen. Perhaps she just had a way with her words, heh. As she spoke and simultaneously kissed down his neck he instictively leaned his head allowing for her to do so. A smirk upon his unmasked face said what he was thinking allowing for hishands to slide up onto the young woman's thighs...softly whispering in return to her single word responses. After all it wasn't close to dark just yet and best of all this hr was sound proof.

"So that...can wait...til later..."

As the man began to speak he grasped more firming onto the back of her thighs now and stood up while easily lifting her slender frame up as he did. Stepping just past the end of the cot he turn so that her back was towards the wall of the hut that his rack had been against. Then with a single step she would find her back driven firmly into the wall, the fuuin actually protecting it from snaking with just the rough force Kasai had used. Now he slid her up the wall slightly to her brilliant blue orbs meet his folder orbs once again.

"We have...so much scouting...to do...later.."

It was now that the Reaper return the kisses that she had placed upon his neck just moments ago with those of his own upon her next. Staying just below her left ear the man would kiss her jade like skin slowly, taking a after every couple kisses to speak a word or so as his kisses traveled south . Ending up starting to plunge down onto her chest as the last word 'later' managed to finally make it out of the man's thin lips...

Yuri was quickly learning something about Kasai. It was not easy to tease the man. What she had meant as simple teasing, mixing business and pleasure as it were, had quickly been capitilized on by the man, and pushed further than she had originally meant it to go. Of course, Yuri being who she was, this only led to a laugh from the woman as she let herself be swept up into the moment.

They had found their first deception, and now knew they were sneaking up on a group that likely knew they were coming. What harm could it be to enjoy an evening before walking into the jaws of death? Tomorrow they would begin their own patrols, learn their enemy, and find their best way in. Only after that would more blood be shed... or at least that was the plan.

But even the best laid plans...
