Stalking Prey [Event-Level Mission Travel]

[Natsy]

NPC Chuunin: Tori

Tori’s rejection showed clearly. As the kunoichi collapsed onto him, Tori gently placed a hand on the back of her head and began stroking her left cat ear. The chuunin felt rather bad for his behaviour, and the thought of diving into this kunoichi was close to beating at him. Yet orders were orders. Tori released a long sigh just as Schatzi shifted her weight, rolling over and laying against his thighs. However, as she spoke, Tori continued to rub her cat ear.

While rubbing her ear, Tori wondered that should Schatzi like the sensation, would she purr? However, the information was excellent! Tori smiled down upon her. A real, warm genuine smile. “You are amazing! You did all of that with a clone?” He asked, his voice mixed between disbelief and curiosity. But his expression clearly showed that he was proud of her. “They’re planning a war with Iwagakure, they will make great allies to our village. I will speak with Lady Takikage and have her put you in charge should we meet up with them again.” He said, his tone matter of fact. Schatzi certainly deserved it, after all.

“You know, you will make a great AnBU Falcon or Owl, and one hell of a chuunin.” Tori stopped stroking the kunoichi’s soft furry ear. “And I know for a fact that if you ever need a chuunin in any of your missions, you can call for me.” He said with a sly grin. But was there anything else that Schatzi had to say?

Tori's awe at what she could do with a clone was amusing, and his words of encouragement soothed her bruised ego. It was an uncharacteristic outburst anyway. Too much stress and stimulation too quickly. Schatzi leaned into his stroking though, loosing a tiny moan of pleasure. She smiled, more to herself than anything. He still didn't know what that duplicate really was.

"It's a very good clone you know. I just need a strong arm to protect me when I use it. I'm more there than here, you know? So I'd be happy for it to be you again some time. And I'm sorry about...that. It was just too much, all at once. I'm usually able to control myself better." able to control others better too went unsaid. She thrived on making them want her, making them ache for it...and then either granting their wishes, or not. The fact that he had been able to turn that around on her was surprising, and a little annoying. The fact that his rejection had stung so much was appalling.

"From what we were talking about earlier, you seem like you can fill the gaps in my knowledge. It's something Beatrix said. Tori...what's a Kedoin?"

[Natsy]

NPC Chuunin: Tori

Tori’s attempt at cheering the kunoichi up was successful. Schatzi had leaned into his hand as he rubbed her ear. When she began speaking, Schatzi explained that she would be happy to partake on another assignment with him again. She even apologized for the earlier incident. This, Tori liked. He nodded his agreement. “And if I ever need a genin to work alongside with, especially for spying purposes, your name will be first on my list. I’ll even throw in the protection for free.” He said followed by a wink.

“As for apologies, don’t worry about it. Believe me, if my orders were similar to the ones given for my previous mission, I wouldn’t have dismissed you so quickly.” He said quietly. However, he did lead to the right for a moment, picking up the parcel with one hand before hovering it over Schatzi’s chest since she had not moved from her laying position across his lap. “What do you think is inside this?” He asked, handing it to her should she reach for it.

Meanwhile the kunoichi spoke of a clan, the Kedoin. Apparently she seemed curious about it and had wanted to know what he knew of it. Tori pondered for a few moments. In reality he had not met nor seen anything relating to the name. But he didn’t want to disappoint her since she had done all the work so far. However, after a few more moments of deliberation, Tori finally sighed. “I’m sorry, hon but I know little to nothing of the Kedoin, only the fact that it is a clan. I remember one of the AnBU referring the clan as shape shifters, seeing that they can change their form at will.”

Tori spoke with uncertainty. He was not giving out any factual information. Merely rumors of which he had overheard. “Although one of the AnBU members, I think a Dragon is a member of said clan. Perhaps I can get in contact with that member and ask them for information on it. But why the interest?” He asked, peering at the kunoichi as she remained at his side.

Well. That was interesting. He'd been under orders to reject her, almost like somebody knew what to expect beforehand. And the tip regarding Kedoin was handy. A clan of shapeshifters. She wasn't unique in the world, which was disheartening but it also meant there was more she might be capable of.

She opened the package, confirming what she already knew. A bloodstained Iwa headband and a few maps that she had bought.

"It's from Beatrix. She said I was Kedoin. Not that I know how she could tell based on smell. I'd appreciate you finding out what you can, so thanks. We should head home in the morning. Mission complete, huh?"

She closed her eyes, funneling an amount of chakra equal to a "B" Ranked Healing Hands jutsu into the seal on her forehead and debating sleeping like this for a few hours, before the sun rose again.

"So...I don't suppose you still have orders between missions?"

[Natsy]

NPC Chuunin: Tori

The explination Tori had given her regarding the Kedoin was seemed to satisfy the kunoichi. Tori smiled. However, when Schatzi opened the parcel, it revealed a blood stained Iwagakure headband. His eyes widened at the object, yet the kunoichi seemed unsurprised. There was many things about her that Tori didn’t know, but he wanted to find out.

Schatzi stated that it was Beatrix that had told her that Schatzi was a Keidon. That alone caused Tori’s head to snap in her direction. Despite the cat kunoichi was laying in his arms, his gaze was intent as he watched her speak. Thanking him for such little information before mentioning that they rest until morning. “Yes, that is a very good idea. And you’re welcome. I will find out all that I can when we get back to the village tomorrow. Lady Takikage and Lady Evangeline will be very pleased to hear of your outstanding performance.”

Tori smiled warmly as the woman in his arms closed her eyes. But before any of them could sleep, another question was asked. “Well this mission is not over until you are inside the village. But what do you have in mind, little kitten?” He then asked, his eyes gleaming with an unknown emotion.

One eye opened. Just one. Plain on his face, desire was rising to match the Shapeshifter's. Granted she had calmed significantly since before, but there was always that constant need. Lust, gluttony, greed. Always Schatzi felt these, and usually indulged on some level. She snuggled her naked form deeper into him. Actually, Tori proved rather comfortable. Small wonder the cats liked him.

"You're so professional, and that's not a bad thing. I just want to see you without any standing commands. Untamed." She sat up to straddle him, whispered in his ear. Oh yes, she was back to her old self again, back in control of her rampaging emotions. And it felt incredible."What would you do, I wonder, when you need to choose what to do next for yourself?"

[Natsy]

NPC Chuunin: Tori

Schatzi remained laying there for a moment. But when she opened one of her eyes, Tori forced himself to look away. The mission was almost over, yes and the kunoichi needed to rest. But with being without clothing, it was hard for the chuunin to concentrate. Considering the woman was in his arms and naked. Her voice snapped him out of his thoughts. The compliments weren’t helping with taming his naughty thoughts, but he smiled wanly at her. Even at the last remark.

“Untamed? Well having six wild cats living with me, I can become quite animalistic at times. Considering I only have them for company.” He replied just as Schatzi moved to straddle him. The chuunin froze immediately, his pulse quickened and his breathing grew deeper. “Ah..” He muttered, staring at the cat-like kunoichi before him. The urge to do the unthinkable uppermost in his mind. Naked girl, teasing.. Feline ears… Tori leaned forward and kissed Schatzi gently.

“I thought you were tired?” He asked, his tone slightly sly. His expression remained neutral, yet his eyes clearly betrayed just how hard he was trying to keep that pokerface. How long before she smashed away what was left of his defences?

He was gentle with her, tentative. Promising, but unacceptable. She meant to break him down entirely, until he assaulted her with all the fury of his wild pets. But this was a start. Her hips wiggled slightly, egging him on, but she wouldn't say anything plainly. It had to be his choice, to decide what he wanted and to take it by force. It was more fun that way, and brought him more thoroughly under her control.

"All I said is that we should wait until morning to leave. As my superior officer, what we do in the meantime is entirely up to you. You, and nobody back home. So what do you want to do?"

The words were innocent enough, and the tone would have been as well were it not a mockery of the very idea of innocence. So typical Schatzi, really.

[Natsy]

NPC Chuunin: Tori

Tori could feel the change in Schatzi as he kissed her. Her mood was mockingly innocent. She wanted something. Tori wanted something too, but he was afraid what might happen if he simply let his defences slip and fall away. “What do I want to do..” He murmured into Schatzi’s neck. What he wanted to do was not appropriate for a mission. He was supposed to be protecting her. For a moment he glanced up at the window, the plush curtain open an inch. The night was still looming over the buildings, the blanket stretching across the dome of the sky.

Sunrise was not for another couple of hours.

Something told Tori that Schatzi wanted him to release something he had bottled up. For a moment he was resisting himself, but glancing over toward the window again. He thought what the hell. In a brief, yet surprising moment he grabbed Schatzi by her upper-arms as if he intended to shake her. But rather than shaking her, he simply dragged her to him somewhat roughly, crushing her lips with an assault of his before twisting her sharply to the right and laying her down upon the sofa.

[The Bearer of Bad News]

This was much more like it. Tori had broken his own chains to hold back his baser nature. And now she would forge new ones, to tie his will to her own. As he took her aggressively, Schatzi growled deeply with approval, a hard light glinting in her eyes. For the next few hours, the Bird of Hermes would set aside ideas of self-restriction, flying high and wild on wings gone uneaten. She chomped down on the man's neck, just above the carotid artery, not with enough force to break the skin but enough to let him know she could. Her teeth scraped at the surface of his flesh, drawing white hot lines to match those she was clawing into the back of his top.

One did not require illusions and enchantments to bind someone's mind and body, all it took was unlocking their basest desires and holding them tantalizingly close until their very soul was forfeit...and then fulfilling them, finalizing the ultimate technique - which was thus simply because it was no magical jutsu at all, but something they unwittingly cast upon themselves.

She grasped violently at his attire, pulling herself closer into him. "Choose!"

[Natsy]

NPC Chuunin: Tori

Excitement blossomed through Tori as Schatzi grew more aggressive to his advances. Her mouth clamped down upon his neck, forcing him closer to her as his body went rigid. Although he was vulnerable, he felt that if Schatzi wanted to kill him, she would have done so already. Tucking his arms around her, his right hand palmed her back and arched her toward him while his left hand grabbed a fist fill of her hair, wrenching it back sharply as he did so.

The sharp tug would have caused her to release her bite on his neck, not to mention scratch his flesh. Immediately Tori could feel a small trickle of blood seeping from the wound. Dismissing it, his lips moved straight to the hollowness of the kunoichi’s throat before tracing back up to her chin, feather like kisses despite the rough grip he had on her hair. “Anything you want.” He whispered in reply to her demand.

[The Bearer of Bad News]

His grip was strong, pain and pleasure signals intermingling in her brain chemistry as he pulled at her hair. Schatzi liked this aggression out of him. And already he was subservient. Excellent. But in order to make him truly hers, she had to relinquish control, if only this once. She clawed at his wound, but only a little, enough to wet her fingers in his blood. Holding them up before him, she extended her tongue as far as it would reach to lap the crimson fluid with just the very tip, a maniac smile stretching across her face.

"Just for tonight, your leash is cut loose. I want you to be wild, do everything you ever imagined. And when you run out of ideas? Think of new ones."

With that she leaned back in, presuming he allowed her to do so, and traced her tongue along the curve of his neck until returning to the injury she had made, and drinking of his vitality, using it to funnel a B-ranked amount of chakra to the diamond seal on her forehead. With his blood on her lips, she would raise her hands to form hand seals, weaving the most interesting of enchantments she knew. She kissed him, transferring to him the essence of her chakra, as well as his own blood. He would find himself extremely fortunate for the next twenty minutes, at which point she would do it again.

If he followed through on his promise, the pair would not be the only ones that night who did not sleep, the sounds of their violent fury crashing throughout the night until morning. Shinobi were trained to function on little to no sleep for days at a time, and to maintain strenuous physical activity for hours in that state, so their would be no reason to cease until the sun pierced their window. At some point after that Schatzi would emerge from their room highly disheveled and wearing naught but her belts and her cloak - which she kept just closed enough to conceal anything the locals might take offense to - but overall rather pleased with herself. And pleased with her new pet as well. Another for the collection.

She was terribly hungry now though, and perhaps somewhat tired and sore. The latter were good things though, in her estimation of the night. Perhaps there would be something - or someone - for her to eat nearby?

NPC Chuunin: Tori

While the kunoichi clawed at his neck, Tori let out a low moan of pleasure. Schatzi bought her fingers, slightly covered with his blood and licked the tip while smiling in such a way that Tori felt slightly mesmerised as well as sick. When she began speaking, to Tori her voice was something like a feather drifting in the wind. The words she used seemed so erotic that he tightened his grip in the bunch of her hair, yet didn’t yank when she leaned forward to trace her tongue along the curve of his neck.

Tori shuddered before Schatzi weaved through a series of handseals. Tori didn’t bother caring about what she might do, but to feel the lips of the cat-like kunoichi upon his, Tori allowed his world to simply fall away and into that kiss. This night with this unusual kunoichi was a night that Tori will never forget. The exotic night continued in a mixture of loud noises and bangs. Only at the peeking of twilight through the curtains reminded the two shinobi that they had to continue their travels back to the village.

While Schatzi decided to leave the room, Tori lay upon the sofa his arm draped over his face. He was sleepy and content to simply lay there until the kunoichi returned. He presumed that she needed to use the bathroom. He will wait for ten minutes. If Schatzi was not back by then, he will dress himself and begin his search for her before heading back to the village.

No food in sight. Not even a nice, plump baby. Pity. Field rations it was then, no matter how much like cardboard they tasted. In theory she could absorb the calories directly without having to taste anything, but somehow that prospect seemed even worse. At least there was canned coffee in the common room. It was supposed to be served cold, but it shouldn't be too foul at room temperature. If nothing else it would wake her newest pet. She returned to their chambers of the night, looked around with amusement. It looked as though a storm had struck to the naked eye. Under a black-light the place would probably end up looking like a psychotic painter's fever-dream.

Cracking open a can and tossing another at her most recent lover's lap, she took a long draught and grimaced. Too bitter. But it would help her wash down the cardboard energy bars at least.

"I can't speak for you, but I for one am tired of this country. Let's go back when you feel up to moving."

Schatzi would wait outside for him, having not bothered to dress, and munching on a ration bar. All she brought with her was her equipment and the package with the maps and headband. She intended to leave her old clothes behind, finding this new look much more comfortable and less restricting. Also more entertaining for the looks she received.

When Tori joined her, she would lead with the flow of bodies in the opposite direction from whence they had initially followed, making whatever small talk he wished if any, but mostly focusing on remembering where their home village was. It was the longest she'd been away in a long time, so there was a small measure of challenge involved. Nothing insurmountable though, nor obvious.

NPC Chuunin: Tori

One Tori had finally showered and dressed, he emerged from the bathroom only to find the state of the room in which he had spent a wonderful night in. The room looked as if someone had set off an exploding tag unnoticed. He grinned. When the door opened ten minutes later, Tori spotted Schatzi holding a can, throwing it to him as she walked in. “Thanks.” He said softly before cracking it open and draining it in four large gulps. Stuff tasted like shit, but it was wet.

Schatzi was ready to move it seemed. “Sure, let’s get out of here before the cleaning crew come in.” He grinned. He decided to wear a white robe and a pair of light grey trousers. Once he had closed the door to their old room, both Takigakure ninja were finally on their way toward their village. Once outside, the pair was welcomed to an extremely bright morning. The sky was blue and cloudless while mountains stretched out as far as the eye could see to the west while large hills rolled over toward the east.

The roadhouse was the only building in view. “So what kind of goals would you have once you reach chuunin? Jounin, Sannin?” Tori asked, moving forward to match the kunoichi’s pace.

Their stay in Kusa was brief, mostly using it as a distraction from their actual destination in Taki. After a couple miles, they hooked back up north, this time keeping to the lesser roads instead of the always-crowded main road. Tori was asking about her goals for the future. A little impertinent, but after his admirable performance keeping up with her...appetites...Schatzi felt she could indulge her caged bird somewhat.

"Being honest, meine retter, I have no precise goals. I just do whatever - or whoever - seems fun at the time. I do intend to go to these exams I've been hearing whispers of lately. Seems like it should keep me entertained.

"Oh and I'd appreciate if you kept out dalliance between just us hm? And also the thing about my...scent. Find out what you can without giving too much away, and I may just reward you."

[Natsy]

NPC Chuunin: Tori

Shifting the shield he wore into a more comfortable position, Tori listened as Schatzi closed herself off from providing him with in-depth goals that she may have. Frowning, the chuunin nodded but didn’t say anything more. But when Schatzi spoke up again, he stopped walking for a brief moment before continuing. “Sure, whatever you say.” He said, his tone slightly dull. He was unhappy now. But now that the pair were both in Taki no Kuni, the pair of them would be able to branch off toward the hidden forest that shrouded the village gates.
