A girl, a seal and a bar!

H

ere the rumours had led you. An AnbU from Kusa had recognized him: a man who according to the village record knew ancient and immensely powerful secret techniques and even taught them to those who managed to get his approval. Of course it had been worth to check out despite the village’s decision to let this person be. Besides, since when did you allow yourself to be limited by the conventions of other people? The search had been short, on the streets of the city a few people had pointed you to the old district and in the old district the people had directed you to this pub.

It was a place typical for the old district. As soon as you entered the smell of beer and smoke entered your nostrils whilst the sound of a hundred conversations at once assaulted your ears. The ochre walls were covered with a myriad of various stains, varying between grease, beer and port to less identifiable sources. The wall opposite to the door was lined with high oaken cabinets which were filled to the top with bottles of various liquids and empty glasses. In front of these cabinets a bar stretched across the room, on one side occupied by countless chairs where people sat conversing and drinking the local dark stout, whereas on the other side a bartender was shining his glasses with a piece of cloth when he was not serving drinks. High tables were spread around the rest of the floor, each surrounded by a set of barstools which too harboured people. Empty seats were scarce but empty tables were impossible to find. Luckily the place had a high ceiling as at least a third of the customers were smoking, blanketing the ceiling with a light blue and greyish cloud that would otherwise be hanging around your heads.

To the right of the door a small band was preparing. Two men were picking their guitar strings, tuning their instruments. A drummer was screwing the last piece of his instrument in place and a violinist was still unpacking his gear as the last man, who was probably the singer was hooking up a microphone. Next to the bartenders, the customers and these men there also were two ladies in their mid twenties who were serving drinks from large plates which they precariously balanced on one hand, filled with drinks that were mostly stouts and scotch. The hiring criteria were clear, they were quite well endowed and their dresses were low cut. One had red hair and the other was a brunette, both wearing their hair in a tight bun to prevent it from being saturated with beer. There were at least fifty, if not sixty people in this room, which was about fifteen by ten meters in size, how were you ever going to discern the man you were looking for from this crowd?

[':Shokora:']

That's so Shokora!

Aokusa, eh?

Shokora had been in the capital a handful of times since she had switched allegiances and joined Kusagakure no Sato. The dark skinned kunoichi wore her long violet locks into a single ponytail that swung from side to side with each step she took. Her bangs were left free, falling to each side of her beautiful face. A member of AnBu black ops had told her of an individual who knew ancient techniques and that was willing to teach them had gone into a nearby bar. She finally stopped in front of it. Thank god it's this type of bar.-She thought to herself. Shokora was not the type to dress up in pretty little dresses. She wore black leggings that hugged her limbs like a second skin. Atop her body was an orange sweatshirt. Its shoulder pads were actually on the exterior and were made of metal. It showed just enough cleavage to be suggestive.

Reaching out she felt her butt bag, she had memorized its contents. 30 senbon, 5 kunai, 8 exploding tags and 4 smoke grenades. "You'll have to wait for me outside." Shokora told Neko. The massive, six foot long cat rolled its great yellow eyes before settling just outside the bar. Neko did not block the door, instead remained right next to it. "Good girl." She teased before entering.

The smell of booze and smoke was the first thing that greeted her, even before she could register anything with her sight. Soon she slowly took note of her surroundings. She tried to observe the different people, trying to figure out if this fabled master was around. Taking a seat at the bar, Shokora ordered a drink. "Scotch, impress me." She teased toward the barkeep before she looked around. It seemed as if this bar liked to hire a specific type of waitress. She smiled to herself.

Now where are you? Hopefully that AnBu had not been fibbing.

Action time!

Q

uite a few men looked up as you passed by, feasting their eyes on your appearance. As your eyes travelled likewise through the crowd you would find that you saw someone who fit the description of the one you searched. And at least twelve others. Middle aged, slightly rugged and half long black hair. With the Kusa no Kuni working crowd here many people looked like that. If only there was some other way to distinguish this master.

There was a seat free at the bar on the right side, here you installed yourself between a young guy on your left and a thirty year old man on your right. The young one was wearing a black waistcoat over a white shirt and a bunnet, who was peeling the label off his bottle of beer. When you sat down he glanced at you from under his hat, a routine he would now start to repeat every so often. The one on your right had his back slightly turned to you as he was busy listening to the story of one of his mates. The story teller was completely caught up in his fishing tale, making wild motions with his arm to emphasize actions he took in his story. The more adult man was wearing a black jacket of his white shirt, which was stained with oil. His mates were clad likewise, they probably worked in the same factory.

"One impressive scotch, coming right up!" The bartender gleefully replied. He walked a bit away from you, grabbed a glass and started to fill it with the amber liquid. No ice was added. At least this man knew what he was doing. Rather than walking back the bartender would place it on the bar and give it a push. The glass slid for three meters across the wood before coming to a standstill in front of you. They weren't frugal with their potions. The amount you were given would have been at least a double in any other place, if not a triple.

The band seemed to be done with their preparations and all now stood around their instruments, drinking a final bottle of beer as they discussed which songs to play. To your right however something more interesting occurred. The story teller had started to tell how he had cast his rod, replicating the motion with both hands, in the process knocking a pint of beer from another patron’s hand. They had started to argue if it was the fault of the story teller for making such wild motions or the fault of the beer dropper for not looking where he walked. Whatever the case, both claimed that they had done the mother of the other. “Better drink that up fast…” The bartender whispered as he passed by you. He was closing the doors of the cabinets that contained the bottles and the glasse. Why were these doors so dented and scratched on the outside?

To your right the word fight had escalated. The beer dropped had picked up his glass and used it to punch the story teller in the face. The latter had grabbed an empty beer bottle and had used that to knock the beer lacking man on the head, who fell down knocked out cold. Behind you men at several tables started to cheer. Someone from the back threw a chair. The piece of furniture was expertly dodged by the bartender ricocheted from the cabinet doors onto the back of another client. Without any clear person to direct his anger at this man just punched the person beside him. The band had picked up their instruments and started to play an energizing drinking song. The mates of the beer dropper now converged on the mates of the story teller, starting to fling punches at each other.

Bottles, glasses, chairs and pints of beer were flying through the air as everyone in the bar got involved and before you knew it everyone was engaged in the bar brawl. Suddenly things were moving very fast. Someone dumped a pint of stout over you, soaking your clothes, whereas the young man on your left used the confusion to pinch your buns between the punches he was throwing at his neighbour on his other side. Another man was punched and fell against you, scrambling up he looked around confused. Unable to find his former opponent he just settled for the closest one: You. He was red haired, just like you he was soaked in bear, revealing his chiselled muscles through his wet grey shirt. He jumped a bit like a boxer, raising his hands to his chest level. “Come on then! Hit me! Hit me!”

[':Shokora:']

That's so Shokora!

"This is a nice bar, I'm likely to come back here." Shokora called out to the barman as he brought her the scotch. It was a double, if not a triple. As she took a sip from the amber beverage, she knew it was one of the best they had in stock. It was rich and powerful, well aged at that. Shokora was not here to relax and drink though. Her main goal was to figure out where the Hirashin master was. She pivoted onto her seat to look around. She noticed the man next to her, the one that wasn't talking was looking over her from time to time. She could not blame him. She was the right mixture of exotic and beauty to attract the eye. The fishing story though, did not particularly interest her at all. But she smiled to herself when his large movements knocked out the beer of one of the men that was walking by.

Then, the flurry of events that happened came in a flash. Shokora had barely the time to react. A fight broke out. The Kusagakure kunoichi was about to participate when a large barrel of beer was emptied upon her. When she finally opened her eyes, her violet locks were stuck to her head and back, her clothing clung to her body like a second skin, leaving little to the imagination. With one quick movement she pushed the man that had emptied the smelly alcohol away. As she felt her body groped by the man that had been eyeing her since she had arrived she looked toward him, trying to figure out the best way to deal with him.

Sadly, before she could deal with him, another man came before her, he too seemed as drenched as her and was even daring her to a fight. "Yeah...no." She purred as she reached out for the pervert that had groped her. In one quick movement she saw her index into the nostril of the man, pulling hard toward her. The man followed, not wanting his nose to be ripped off, all the while trying to save himself from some pain. As she tugged the pervert along by the nose, she squarely pushed him into the man that had challenged her.

If both men would fall to the ground she would quickly get up to put her foot squarely on the pervert's back, as he was now above the one that had wanted to fight with her. "Does anybody else want to fight with me?" She demanded as she looked around at the different brawls that had erupted. Now her mood had definitely soured. Who would dare dump beer all over her?

Reaching out for her scotch, the cat-like Shokora took a sip from the hard liquor. She had needed it.

The stand off!

B

eing dragged by the nose by a woman was probably the most humiliating thing that had ever happened to this man. Of course, as soon as you hooked him and he saw the failure of his way, and most notably that he could not best you, he started to beg for mercy. Of course this fell on deaf ears and not seconds later he found himself on the floor on top of another man with your boot up his back. Clearly both were done with you, pretending to be knocked out. Although the pervert, who was on top seemed to enjoy the feeling of your foot on his back a bit too much.

You took your victory sip as a few men around you applauded and cheered to your badassness (Yes, that is a word). Though mostly the bar brawl around you just continued. A man appeared who oddly fit the description of the man you were looking for came forward. Middle aged, half long black hair. In addition to this description he was wearing brown pants and a white shirt. Over this he wore studded black leather armour on his arms, shoulders, legs and chest. Over this he wore a greyed hooded cape. Since the man was indoors he had cast his hood from his head, revealing his face. He was not alone, he was dragging a younger man, who was probably in his early twenties by the collar. "My lousy apprentice said he wanted to. That he could defeat you with his hands tied behind his back!" Wrestling himself free from the older man the 'apprentice' would take a step forward, standing two meters from you. "I will show master that I am not a failure!" The youth said, clenching his fists and raising them. This blonde haired blue eyed person, in contrast to the previous opponent took a proper stance. He wore brown pants and a white shirt too, but only black leather greaves and arm protectors.

Around you the brawl had ceased with fighting as your little stand off had developed. The crowd murmured, some openly cheering you and suggesting you to 'kick this little punks ass' whereas other rooted for the young man. Some even started to exchange money. They were betting on who would win this. You had proven yourself to be strong and agile, but this young man looked like he could uproot a tree with his bare hands. Would you take the challenge?

[':Shokora:']

That's so Shokora!

Shokora looked up as she heard a voice speak out to her. She pressed her foot down on the man's back, squashing him some more into the man beneath. The kunoichi studied the man's features for a quick moment, he matched exactly what the AnBu agent had told her. Surely it would not be so easy? When Kaiser offered her the challenge, she could not help but tilt her head to the side as she inspected the youthful blond man. Did she really need to take out someone so green than him? Yes, he had fallen into a fighting stance, something that seemed much more serious than the two men she had just dealt with, still she could not help but feel like this was beneath her. But a bar brawl was a bar brawl. Before she accepted or denied the challenge though, she had vanished into thin air.

She travelled in a flash in an arc. Instead of appearing before the opponent that stood before her, she appeared just behind the man that had been familiar to her, the one that might have a secret technique to teach. "Challenge accepted." She whispered as she placed a hand over his shoulder and jumped forward, above the master. Shokora enjoyed playing dirty from time to time. Having appeared behind the master, she hoped that the blond apprentice would simply not see her coming. He would probably be bracing for an attack from the front or back. Instead, as she flew above the master, she brought her foot down upon the male's face. As her foot collided with his face, she disappeared once more, using an additional shunshin technique to appear beneath him she kicked forward with all of her strength, launching the man into the air.

Relying on her speed along she jumped into the air, her violet ponytail whipping through the air quickly as she appeared above him and kicked down, her talon hitting him squarely along the back and sending him crashing into the floor. It took quite the acrobatic talent to pull off the Triple Dynamic Entry into such a closed space, but Shokora excelled in such manoeuvres. "I better get a cut of that money." The dark skinned kunoichi purred.

ith as much dignity a man could take a kick to the face the young blonde man endured your nose breaking attack with a virtue that could only be mustered by any person who had no other choice. He was however not flung as far back as you had expected. This kid clearly had some knack for close combat. Your second kick however sent the youth flying, making his sturdy footwork useless considering his feet had no ground to touch. The third kick brought him in contact with the soil again, be it face first.

Groaning the man picked himself up from the floor, turning his face towards you as he scrambled to his feet. The blonde was bleeding from his nose and on his cheek you could clearly see the red imprint your foot had left behind. At least he could take a beating, though that probably wouldn’t impress you much. Taking a beating and dishing out one were worlds apart. Now however he seemed determined to counterattack. He would start to punch towards you in an oddly rapid fashion.

His punches were on an almost untraceable speed, as the blonde would making at least sixteen punches per second, alternating between his hands every other punch. The youth was not targeting any specific spot, but rather your entire body above the waist. As soon as he started to punch he would also slowly start walking towards you. The attempt was clear, he would try to make you walk backwards, eventually pinning you against the closes wall and beat you senseless. If this attempt would come to fruition the crowd would part to let you through. Though all of this is hypothetical, because this sequence of events would probably be interrupted in some manner.

Using:

Shotgun
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A strong punching technique where the user hits multiple times with great speed in multiple random directions making it seem as if the user had shot a shotgun.
Special: ---
Drawback: Depending on the amount of movements the user has depends on the amount of attacks the user is capable of attacking.
Description: A rapid series of quick shots delivered from long range in a sequence so fast that it is nearly impossible to dodge them all. The Shotgun is especially troublesome to Infighters as they literally form a wall of punches, keeping them at bay. Hayami is able to use the Shotgun with either his left or right arm and usually alternates between the two in succession, though he can throw these high-speed punches with both arms simultaneously. Normally a person is capable of attacking with their left and right hand within one movement one time. With Shotgun the user is capable of attacking two times with their left hand, and two times with their right hand per movement equal to that of the whole round. When the user attacks they are capable of attacking faster, but they attack wildly, their attacks are never precise and they are not very accurate as well. Speed is gained but accuracy drops down dramatically. Some believe it is best to pin the opponent down against the wall, or against the ground before the user is capable of attacking correctly.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know the Four Punching Basics.


Passives:

Mastery: Out-Fighter
Rank: "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The out-boxer (also out-fighter, pure boxer, boxer) seeks to maintain a gap from their opponent and fight with faster, longer range punches.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A classic "boxer" or stylist (also known as an "out-fighter") seeks to maintain distance between himself and his opponent, fighting with faster, longer range punches, most notably the jab, and gradually wearing their opponent down. They are often regarded as the best boxing strategists due to their ability to control the pace of the fight and lead their opponent, methodically wearing him down and exhibiting more skill and finesse than a brawler. Every 500 Training Points the user chooses In-Fighter the user is able to perform an extra punch per movement (except 1 punch per movement techniques) and the user is able to redirect 25% of the opponent's fighting power back to the opponent when performing a counter. (see Counter Knowledge for more information)
Limit: Must have mastered Bokushingu (Boxing) by gaining 500 Training Points.

Heightened Perception
Rank: "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: By analyzing and keeping an eye on the opponent's shoulder and foot work the user is able to predict movements and grab a feel of when attacks are going to come by making the Boxer a more proficient fighter.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of predicting movements’ one rank below then what they have learned. The user is only capable of predicting movements that are TaiJutsu Based. Any other type of movements cannot be predicted.
Description: The way this technique works is that the user observes certain points of areas of the opponent's body such as the shoulders, thighs, and hips. Since attacks are focused on these points they are capable of making educational guesses towards points of contact that may occur within these certain points. This type of technique is a study where the user is capable of watching an opponent's movements for a brief moment of time predicting TaiJutsu techniques. When the user first learns this technique they are capable of predicting techniques of "D" Rank capability. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "C" Rank capability. When the user learns the "A" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "B" Rank capability. When the user learns the "S" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "A" Rank capability.

Boxers Mentality
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: By fighting on and on, a boxer becomes more proficient when an attack may come by. This happens usually when the boxer becomes unable to see the attack. However by being in combat for so much they can feel when an attack is coming making them less able to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Boxer is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know all Basics

Perfect Stance
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: A technique that decreases knock back distances.
Special: ---
Drawback: Only works if the user is standing on the floor and is not in any way brought into the air, or removed from their stance.
Description: This technique was devised against knock back techniques. The great fighters of olden times thought that being knocked away from an opponent would be considered very dangerous and for that created a technique in which the user brings down their center of gravity locking them down into place against the earth they stand on. Doing so they would propel their leg muscles forward holding themselves into place reducing knock back attacks. When the user first learns this technique knock back is quickly reduced by eighteen percent. This means that if a user is knocked back twenty meters initially they are really knocked back for only sixteen meters. When the user learns the "C" rank version of this technique knock back is reduced by thirty six percent. When the user learns the "B" rank version of this technique knock back is reduced by fifty four percent. When the user learns the "A" rank version of this technique knock back is reduced by seventy two percent. Then finally when the user learns the "S" rank version of this technique knock back is reduced by ninety percent. However if a user is knocked up into the air, or their footing is lose then they are no longer able to perform this technique.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know all Basics

Bone Density
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: A technique that decreases the chances of bones being broken.
Special: ---
Drawback: Joints do not get the benefits of this technique.
Description: The stronger the bones, the less likely they are going to be broken. Ever hit an opponent in which is able to withstand more capabilities then normal? Ever hit an opponent or been hit and wondered why a bone did not break when it normally would. This is by bone Density. This technique reduces the techniques power that has bone breaking properties behind the technique. When the user first learns this technique the user has a five percent less chance of his/her bones being broken by techniques with bone breaking properties. When the user learns the "C" Rank version of this technique the user has a ten percent less chance of his/her bones being broken by techniques with bone breaking properties. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of this technique the user has a fifteen percent less chance of his/her bones being broken by techniques with bone breaking properties. When the user learns the "A" Rank version of this technique the user has a twenty percent less chance of his/her bones being broken by techniques with bone breaking properties. When the user learns the "S" Rank version of this technique the user has a twenty five percent less chance of his/her bones being broken by techniques with bone breaking properties.

[':Shokora:']

That's so Shokora!

The nameless blonde was actually tougher than Shokora had expected. She had dispatched her first two opponents so easily that she had thought there was no one of worth around. But the man that had been in the bar, the one that had challenged her on behalf of his pupil was said to possess an immensely powerful technique. It was not a stretch to imagine that his pupil would be strong. He got up with a broken nose and a shoe print to the face. "Once your nose's healed, maybe you should give me a call, the broken nose look is always one I dig." She called out. And it was even more enticing knowing that it was her that had given him the broken bone. His face would forever bare her mark. Unless there were any medics on hand, which she doubted, not in a place like this. The dark skinned kunoichi did not flinch as she saw her opponent move toward her.

She would play along some more, moving her right foot behind his own, she danced her way around him in one fluid movement. She could hear the awe in the voices of a view onlookers. Now behind the man she punched him powerfully, at the exact spot where the neck finished to melt into the rest of the body. She had used a technique of the Goutetsu, forcing her fist to vibrate as it collided with the body. The shaking fist would hit even harder as it would rustle the man's internal organs. Though her fist had hit him along the spine, she did notice that his bones seemed quite thick, more than average.

Before she could know his response, Shokora vanished once more into thin air. Using her trademark speed she appeared ten meters behind where she had once stood. She did this to keep as much distance between herself and the opponent to see what he would do next. Surely this fight was not to the death? Yellow eyes slowly travelled to meet with those of the rugged man with the dark hair. What was going on?

Description: When someone attacks with their right hand, put your right foot behind their left, with your two feet pointing towards each other. After that, follow up with your left foot, circle behind your opponent's left side and you appear behind the opponent. This can be followed by a throw; when behind the opponent's rear, hit their neck with your right arm, and put your right leg behind their legs. You should not necessarily hit the opponent's neck too severely, as the opponent will have lost their balance already depending on the speed of the attack, not the strength of it.

T

his time your attack seemed to have hit a nerve. He had of course already taken a blow to the head, probably leading to a pretty bad headache. He barely had time to utter "You bitch..." when the second attack brought him to his knees a second time. The youth instead of carrying on just rolled onto his back "Screw this!" Apparently that was the way to proclaim defeat in here as about a third of those present in the bar groaned, whereas the rest started to cheer. Those who had collected the bets started to pay out to the winners, though the winnings seemed kind of small. Apparently most people had bet on you winning in the first place.

Laying on his back in the thin layer of whatever it was that covered the floor the youth pointed to the raven haired man that had carried him forward into this fight. "You are like the worst teacher ever!" In response the middle aged man shook his head. "You are unable to learn! You are a poor student!" "Am not!" "Yes you are..." "Nu-uh!" A very intelligent conversation that was. "Screw this!" The youth said another time, getting to his feet, his hand grasping a hold of the first glass within arms reach and chugging it. "I am going to find a medic. And don't you dare follow me." The 'master' shook his head. "Tch, I would not dare to." True to his words the blonde youth would start to sway his way to the exit. No doubt the alcohol was dulling the pain.

"Is it over?" With a cigarette sticking from his mouth the bartender would pop his head above the bar again. It seemed like he had been hiding there to pass the time during the entire fight. "Yes it is over, this magnificent woman won!" The master shouted back as he approached you, and attempt to put his left arm around your shoulders. "You are terrific, you should come visit me. I am in town for five days. I have this like awesome technique I can teach you, let's you go like to another country in the blink of an eye!" The offer was open and very easily obtained. The alcohol you smelled on his breath was definitely related to this exceptionally generous offer. And the reason why he spoke with such a thick tongue.

In the distance you would someone scream something about 'a drink for the winner' and indeed, not five seconds later someone pressed a glass in Kaiser's hand which he would immediately hand over to you. It was a shot glass filled with some kind of mint green water that smelled of booze and anise. Around you the people cheered again, raising their glasses and shouting out for you to go ad fundum on your drink first. In a matter of minutes you had moved from being anonymous on the side of the bar to the centre of the party. This was going to be a fun night.

[':Shokora:']

That's so Shokora!

Wait, is it that easy?

Shokora had definitely not expected the mysterious master to be so easy to find, let alone to impress. It was true it seemed as if she had taken out his apprentice relatively quickly. She had taken him out even quicker than when she had faced Ryosuke of the Zassou clan before a bored magistrate. It had all be part of a mission. The dark skinned kunoichi returned her thoughts to the dark haired man before her. He seemed quite open about the technique as well. Was it truly that impressive if he was openly talking about it as he did? For a moment her yellow eyes studied him, trying to figure out what would happen next. Was she supposed to accept and go meet him? Truly this could not be it. Still she was in a nice bar, and it seemed as if she had earned herself a free drink and a shooter at that. Shokora reached out toward the nameless master and took the small glass between her fingers before bringing it to her nose, she sniffed at it gently, like a domesticated cat.

"The name's Shokora, you'll have to remember it, I'm a pretty big deal." She purred playfully as she finally registered the smell that came off of the shot. "Absinthe?" She whispered beneath her breath. She had never actually tasted the powerful spirit. She lowered her eyes to the ground, knowing that there were a lot of individuals who were looking at her in the bar, including the man that seemed to be willing to teach her the powerful technique. It seemed as if the technique would help her be even faster than she already was. She needed it. Resolute, she brought the small glass to her lips.

Here goes nothing...

With that she swallowed the green concoction and braced for its effects.

[Solus]

Dizzy from the ride!

U

uuuuuuugh. Opening your eyes to what looked like a white ceiling you awoke. Your mouth was as dry as the deserts of Kaze no Kuni and your head felt like someone had started a mining operation in your brain. Despite being thousands of kilometers away the sun managed to get a headshot, shining through a tiny gap between the blinds, right on your face. If only the gap in your memory was as illuminated, after the absinthe your memory hit nothing but darkness. You barely had to tilt your head backwards to see these blinds, which were in a state between completely destroyed and barely hanging from the ceiling. A large flat screen stuck straight through these blinds, protruding through the window. Someone had tried to break the window with the object but had failed, causing the viewing device to get stuck in the transparent material. And beyond that material you could see…. The sea? That’s not right… Kusa no Kuni is landlocked.

There were several other things of note. Your stomach was oddly sticky. You could touch your stomach without touching your clothes… Where were your clothes? Everything you had was gone, your weapons, your clothes, your money. You had been stripped down to any underwear you had been wearing. At least in your drunken craze you had somehow found the dignity not to have taken them off.*You were in some kind of hotel room, one of the more expensive ones. Eventually your eyes found a clock, which told you that the time keeping device had been smashed at two in the night, very informative. At least you had managed to fall asleep on the bed, had it been the floor you would have been far more sore now. Around you on the floor lay bodies in various states of sleep and unconsciousness, each of them reeking of alcohol. A quick count revealed to you that you were in the merry company of eight other women and four men. Of all these women only two were properly clothed in a skimpy cocktail dress. Of the men only one was clothed, wearing a collared shirt and brown dress pants, yet the latter were ripped.

Wait a second. The closest man, who lay next to the bed was not asleep, rather, he was quite awake. Creepily he was staring at you. He was not your average overly attached boyfriend though. He was actually attached to you. With handcuffs. They looked sturdy and the locks seemed impossible** to pick. And whomever had the grand idea to cuff you to this man had had the even grander idea to do it wrong. Your right wrist was attached to his right wrist, making it impossible to walk side by side normally. “My Goddess you’re awake! After the bodyshots you told me we would get married! Are we now?” Great, a lunatic too. At least he was blue eyed and blonde with great abs and wearing nothing but boxers or this would become unbearable. He was clearly still slightly tipsy. You had no idea where you were, you had no clothes, equipment, big cat pet or money and no clue of the time left to get back to the master. That was if you still wanted to learn that technique. Though, finding your stuff back would at least be a starting point.

HANGOVER PART IV

The dark skinned kunoichi's eyes fluttered open and for a moment she happened to be staring toward a ceiling she did not recognize. This was now her apartment in Kusagakure no Sato. Had she dreamed her meeting with the mysterious man who had a powerful and secret technique? No, she remembered putting his apprentice down quite vividly. She had punched him so hard along his upper back she had actually been afraid that he might suffer lasting consequences. She did not look around, for a long moment she just stared at the ceiling as if it held the secrets of the universe. Cursing under her breath she sat up, only noticing that she was showing off too much skin. She was only in her underwear, white lace, clashing beautifully with her chocolate skin. While she had sat up though, she had felt a pressure along her wrist. Shackles, shackles connecting her with someone else. "Good morning." Shokora purred with a dry mouth as she noticed the blond pretty boy. Not enough rugged for her, sadly. But he was the type of man she'd use, abuse and lose.

Yellow eyes scanned the whole room before noticing all the different people laying around the room. One hell of a party...I imagine. She thought to herself. She picked up several more details. The broken clock, the broken window, the sea?! "Where the fuck are we?" Shokora cursed some more as she forced herself to sit up on the bed, placing both of her feet flat on the ground which finally forced the room to stop spinning. The room was nice, she approved. It only took her a fraction of a second ot notice that Neko was not around. She was no in Kusa no Kuni that was for sure as the sea was just outside. Had her massive cat travelled with her to wherever she was? Surely Neko had not abandoned her.

Surely SHE had not abandoned Neko?! The idea put off the Kusa kunoichi.

"If I married you, it would be the worst mistake of my life." Shokora said as she slowly changed their position, sliding into his lap so that her wrist was pressed against his, giving her as much space as she could to move her arms. Shokora's skills revolved mostly around tracking, observation, sensing one's motives, and had passable knowledge in botany and herbalism. She instantly regretted not learning any lock picking skills.

"Relax your wrist. Hopefully this technique is enough. If not I'll have to use something strong."

And you might have to lose your arm.

If the attractive blonde would play along, his arm would follow her own with every movement she performed. She brought both of her hands together and they formed several hand seals at almost blinding speed. With that she brought her finger to the metal that held both of their wrists together and she released a bullet of lightning. If she was successful the bullet of lightning would have been enough to break their shackles.

OOC: OMFG Solus you moved this to the Land of Moon, I'm laughing out loud right now! Making this very interesting! I am forever going to remember this, this might be one of my favorite RP experiences <3 Let's have fun!

he eyes of the man fluttered open. “M-m-m-mistake?! It would be the greatest moment of our lives!” He exclaimed, almost fainting. Still tipsy, though leaning more towards drunk apparently than sober. He seemed however very ‘excited’ about you sitting on his lap. Despite his drunkenness that was still working perfectly fine. In his state it was not very difficult to have him follow your orders. Eager to please he held his arm as limp as possible. “Why separate us goddess? Am I disappointing you? I will work harder, I promise!” He pleaded one last time.

Unfortunately for both of you the metal of the manacles was an excellent conductor of electricity. “AAAAAH!” The man yelled as both of you were hit simultaneously by the shock. “Yes! This is how I remember last night!” At least someone was enjoying this. Something fizzled oddly inside the lock. Did you fuse it? Hopefully not, or you would never to be able to get out in that case without either removing a hand from someone or the help of a professional.

A knock on the door broke the moment between you, the man and the handcuffs. “Cleaning!” A shy female voice came from the other side. Worst timing ever. Flustered the man looked at you for guidance. Clearly he was clueless on how to handle the situation.

[':Shokora:']

That's so Shokora!

The shock was instantaneous. Shokora could feel the electricity coursing through her body, it was a familiar feeling as she had trained multiple lightning techniques over the years and when one trained, there was bound to have some damage taken. The good thing though was that it woke her from her hangover. The shock to her system had put her body in high alert. Though she enjoyed being called a goddess, what woman didn't? She still was annoyed by the man beneath her. Running her fingers along his chiselled abdomen she thought about their situation. "Please shut up, I'm thinking." She told him. Shokora did not know this man other than the fact that they were locked together and that he looked good without clothes. He. still. was. not. her. type.

"Alright, I need to for once in my life take a breather." Shokora said calmly as she tried to weigh her options. She was usually a lazy, fun-loving individual so it was odd for one to think she would ever not take a breather. But when in combat or on a mission? She was known for her speed and efficiency. The reason why she had completed most of her missions was due to speed and luck. Both would be useless in this situation. She could also not force her way out of her shackles it seemed, her lightning jutsu had revealed that. It had conducted the energy so a higher ranked technique would simply not be useful.

"You need to tell me everything. What happened last night? Or was it even last night? How did we meet, where is the man with the secret technique? Where are we even? How did I get here? And are you a master locksmith?" She asked him. Once she had asked all of her questions, her yellow eyes scanned the whole room, trying to find things she had not noticed the first time she had looked around from her bed.

I could go for some hot springs right now...

ervously the knocking on the door would continue. Clearly the woman on the other side was eager to start mopping up. When she heard you talk however the knocking stopped and you could hear her walk to the next room with her cleaning cart. How much time was left until she would return would be for you to guess. When caressed and told to shut up the man would immediately comply, resting his head on your shoulder as he wrapped his arms around your waist. Calmly he listened to you talking to yourself. When asked questions he would raise his head again sullenly, thinking it over. He seemed to have about as much trouble remembering last night as you did. "Uhm... This morning I guess, since the bar closed... We walked here from the cocktail bar. I know nothing of locks. And uhm... I know a lot of 'secret techniques'... Want me to show you?"

Your scan of the room found nothing of interest, except that ripped clothes lay around in various corners. Yet none of them were yours.

[':Shokora:']

That's so Shokora!

Shokora was beyond annoyed. When the nameless man wrapped his arms around her she pushed them away. It would have been incredibly hard for him to wrap his connect arm around her anyway so she only needed to push one of his limbs away. "Listen, we're stuck together so I understand we have to work together but at this point, I don't know you, and I would very much like to know where I am and where is my cat." She said not to subtly. The cleaning lady had left their door and was seemingly going elsewhere. The dark skinned kunoichi was not one to necessarily be ashamed of her predicaments. She would not be against the idea of calling out to her. The man had mentioned a cocktail bar. When she had met the mysterious master the previous night, they had definitely not been in a cocktail bar. "And considering there's the sea outside, we are not in Aokusa right? Where are we on the map?" She asked before she slowly inched herself out of his lap.

It would be hard to move in their current predicament. She could not necessarily get up to her feet unless the blonde played along, and she was unsure if he was in any state to be moved. "HELP!" She cried out. The cleaning lady had probably only gone to the next room. Perhaps by hearing her pleas she would come and help them. Of course if she did decide to come in she would be greeted with quite a scene. At least she was not sitting in the blonde boy's lap, instead sitting next to him.

"HELP ME!" She cried out. This was somewhat annoying, for a head-strong woman to ask for help in such a manner, but she saw no real other option. "Was I ever with an immense cat? Close to seven feet long, all black. And what was I wearing last night?" At this point this young man was the only person who could answer her questions while she waited for the cleaning lady to come, if she would.

[Solus]

S

urprised the man blinked at you, clearly disappointed with his advances being turned down. “Yeah you do, we spent the entire last night together. And what cat? I have not seen any pussy yet.” He would respond in a similar lack of subtlety, his intentions clear. “Aokusa? I thought you were from around here.” He would look you up and down, clearly thinking that your appearance was quite representative for people from wherever you currently were. “We are in Zokuji, in Tsuki no Kuni of course. What is your deal with kusa no Kuni?” And another disappointment for the lad as you would slowly depart from his lap. The denial however seemed to turn him on even further.

The youth cringed when you suddenly shouted, rubbing his forehead with his free arm. Clearly his head was not prepared yet for loud noises after last night. “What cat? Stop about that cat, I don’t know anything about cats.” He was clearly starting to get frustrated by your questions when he clearly wanted something else from you. Especially since the answers seemed to come to him easily. “This. And you had a guys coat when I met you at the docks but I guess you left it at the wardrobe in the bar. You must have the tag to retrieve it somewhere.”

In the next door room you could hear the cart being pushed aside and the relatively fast stride of footsteps, this woman did not seem in any particular rush to reach your room quickly. “Coming… Coming…” She said in a peculiar accent. She took her sweet time with the door, until you finally heard a key slide into its lock. A woman in a pink uniform, a white apron and yellow rubber gloves poked her spectacled head around the half open door. “No… No… No…” She disappeared again and returned with a floor mop. Walking past you she positioned herself behind you and the man, giving the pair of you a clear path to the door. “Me need to clean room… You go now…” the old maid said, poking you with the still wet floor mop which smelled as if it had been used to clean the floor earlier. Not surprising since that was the object’s intended purpose.

[':Shokora:']

That's so Shokora!

Shokora listened to everything that the nameless man had said about the previous night. Surely she had not been separated from Neko in Aokusa? How could she separate herself from her best friend in such a way as travelling to the furthest nation possible without Neko following or be invited to come along? Had she been abducted? Was that why Shokora was in Tsuki no Kuni? "Why am I so obsessed with Kusa no Kuni? My last memory is me taking a shot of absinthe in a bar in Aokusa. God knows when that was though." She explained to the blonde as she stood up from her sitting position on the ground, with it she pulled him up. They would be able to walk only if one did so from behind. As a kunoichi she preferred walking the right way so the blonde male would need to follow suit.

"We need clothes, any ideas?" She asked him, looking up toward him, she needed to tilt her head to the side to look at him due to their odd standing positions. Hopefully he would have an idea of how to get some clothes quickly, perhaps he had a room in this very hotel? Consuela would have to wait, Shokora did not particularly care.

"Are you from Tsuki no Kuni? Do you know of any blacksmiths? Please tell me your father has a nearby blacksmith and he could separate us for free?" The dark skinned kunoichi told the blonde. She was running out of ideas and getting somewhat cranky considering she had no idea where Neko was, the world was vast after all.

[Solus]

D

espite the barrage from the mop you did not depart the room yet. The man looked flustered at you as you explained where your travels had initially begun. Clearly it was a surprise to him. “Wow, you must have been on a party streak!” He exclaimed, excited and astounded at your ability to go over half the world without remembering anything between Moon and Grass. When you got up he had to follow suit, scrambling to his feet. Despite the fact that he seemed willing to follow your lead it also seemed that he had no choice in the first place, since you could feel that you were far stronger when you tugged at your mutual leash.

He slapped at the mop with his free hand “We’re going! Just give us a sec!” he said angrily, but the only reply was: “No… No… You go now afuera…” in a monotone voice. The young man seemed resourceful though and a quick thinker. “This is a tropical island and it is summer, goddess. Just got to disguise that as a bathing uniform. Just put something that looks like a sarong around your waist and you’ll be good. Maybe something in the closet, or just a towel from the bathroom perhaps?” He suggested, waiting for you to move before realizing that the two of you were attached, either by being dragged along or you not moving. “Oh yeah…” The bathroom indeed seemed to hold flip flops and many towels*, though they were all marked with the logo of the ‘Empire Hotel’. They did reach from your shoulders all the way to your knees though so they should cover very nicely. In the closet* there was a light see through and colourful piece of cloth that could be employed in the manner that the lad suggested. If you wrapped that around your waist it would cover you up to your knees. Very beachy. “Mine are here!” The young man said, finding a pair of orange swimming trunks, adorned with a black flower motive, under which lay a matching pair of flip flop sandals. Getting them on was a bit awkward, especially as the maid continued to harass the two of you, threatening to alert the manager who was not home.

Then your final set of questions. In this regard the young man seemed to disappoint you for the first time. “If only... My father is an office manager here. There are smiths but they don’t work for free. And hey, I spent all my money on buying you drinks last night. What is your name by the way? You said that it was ‘goddess’ but I still don’t believe that.”

[':Shokora:']

That's so Shokora!

The idea of seeking out clothing, or substitutes for clothing was an agreeable option that Shokora had to take. Before Consuela would get too mad, the dark skinned kunoichi hurried to the bathroom, dragging the nameless blonde behind her. She instantly slid her feet into flip-flops. They would slow her down in combat, but she was shackled with a dimly witted man, so she was already slowed down. She could always easily kick them off if needed. Taking the see-through fabric she wrapped it around her waist and slung a towel around her shoulder. She looked the part of a woman who enjoyed herself in this tropical island. Tugging the nameless man behind her she listened to what he had to say. It seemed as if his father was a man of some importance. "We'll could you bring me to the closest smith then?" Shokora asked as she forced him to walk along with her until they were out of the room, the cleaning lady free to play damage control. And though she had no money, she believed that she could perhaps broker a deal with any smith. She was resourceful, and if that did not work, intimidation could be a powerful tool.

As they stepped out of the hotel room and entered the hallway, the yellow-eyed girl sighed. "Yes, I am Goddess, it means kitten in Latin, or so my mah told me." Shokora answered to him. Of course her real name that her parents had given her was Retsu. She had given up on it when she had joined Kusagakure no sato though, choosing the name Shokora due to her skin tone.

The Kusa kunoichi remembered her manners. "And your name would be?" She asked. Hopefully her twin prisoner would show his usefulness and show her to the closest smith and then she could really get to work on finding Neko, and her belongings.
