Shinobi Inn.

[Marii K. Kazeraikou]

Marii walked calmly into the Shinobi Inn. There weren't many people there though, but since it was in the afternoon, she haven't expected that either.
On some chairs sat three Rain Chuunins, two male and one females. They looked fairly tired: they were probably going to spend the night here because of some mission. On another chair sat an Earth Genin and an Earth Jounin. They were eating on something that looked like sandwiches.
The Kazeraikou made it to the counter. "Room for one please. One day" muttered the girl. The young man in the desk saw her ANBU mask. "OK....since you're an ANBU, I suppose you can't tell your name, right?" said the brunett. The brunette nodded. "Here you go. Enjoy your stay" smiled the youngster.
The girl bowed lightly and walked up to her room. It was quite OK: it had a bathroom with a shower, a bed, a closet, a table, a chair and a TV. The Cloud nin made sure the curtains were pulled, and took off her ANBU mask, cloak and headband. Then, she plopped down on the bed and turned on the TV. 'Man, I haven't had a day like this in a long time!' grinned the girl.

Marii felt down on the bed, completely exhausted. She had been training nearly none-stop for two days, and had now ended up with a headache. Daiki was sitting on the bedpost, looking at her. "I'll be fine Daiki-kun....I'm just tired, that's all" muttered the girl, looking at the bird. The Kazeraikou buried the head in her pillow and closed her eyes, falling asleep for a little while. Her animal companion would wake her up if someone came in. Not that it would happen easily...the door was locked, and the window was closed.

Marii woke up again, and stretched. 'Mmmmm......my head doesn't ache anymore...wonder what the time is.....' thought the girl and looked at her watch. It was 07:15 PM. 'I've slept for two hours....oh well. I probably needed that' thought the Kazeraikou.
Her stomach begun to rumble. 'I need some food. Hey....wasn't the dinner served at 07:00 PM? I better go downstairs and check it out!' thought the girl. Seeing that she was living at the inn, dinner was included in the price. She took on her borrowed ANBU cloak, mask and Mist headband before she walked towards the dinner hall.
It smelled like wok. The brunette smiled; wok was one of her favourites. She took up some, laid it on her plate before she filled her glass with Coke. The girl sat down on another table were a lot of ANBU's were sitting. All of them had Mist symbols. 'How can they EAT with these things on!?' thought the teen.
Then, she saw that a Dragon ANBU across the table had moved her (after seeing the lipstick, the Cloud nin was positive that it was a she) mask a little, so her mouth was un-masked. The younger female did likewise and begun to eat. "Tough day huh?" muttered the female across the table. The Chuunin nodded with the others, in order to agree. "Hey kid, I haven't seen you before. New recruit?" asked the Dragon ANBU, brown eyes meeting light blue.
"Sorta...." said the girl and ate swallowed a mouthful of water chestnuts. "You're not on any team. May I ask why?" asked the woman. "Solo mission. I have to find a kid named Kazeraikou" whispered the fake Owl ANBU. The other ANBU's nodded.
"You're new, and you're having a solo mission? New kids are usually in team" said the older female, suspicion evident in her voice. "Well..you see, I'm "B"-ranked" said Marii, hoping she sounded convincing. "That explains it. How old are you?" asked the Dragon ANBU. "19" said the girl. She could swear that she saw a Falcon ANBU across the table smile.
The Kazeraikou was finished with her meal. "Well, see you guys later" smiled the girl and wiped her mouth before putting the mask back. "Good luck!" whispered the woman. The brunette smiled back (even if not seen) and walked back up on her room.

Marii walked down to the counter. She had been here for a little more than a week, and there were no sign of Kasai. 'This guy who knocked me down must have been bluffing. Oh well...at least I got some decent training....' thought the fake ANBU, not happy about the situation. Kasai was probably dead: the birds she had made a deal with had searched trough the whole country, and haven't found a sign of him.
The only clue she had was that white-haired guy that killed himself while training. Coming to think of it, he might have tried to kill her as well. He wasn't stupid at least: her chakra was nearly empty, and the Kazeraikou was pretty exhausted as well. "I want to check out" said the girl in a voice she hoped sounded polite. "That will be 2000 Ryo" smiled the woman. The brunette gave her a vouch that said that the Kage would pay if someone had to stay in a Shinobi inn during a mission.
"I see....have a nice day" smiled the pinkette. The girl bowed and went outside. Now, she had to get home to Kumo as fast as she could. [Exit]
