"Really?" Hiro said, genuinely surprised, "You built this, huh?"<br/><br/>He shrugged, putting his hand on Iku's shoulder, "Don't be so formal." He said softly as Ume went into the kitchen, "She invited us here, you know? I'm sure it's fine." The shinobi surveyed her home, noting the training area and the entry way into the bath. "Pretty prime real estate, right on top of a hot spring like this..."<br/><br/>"I suppose it<em>would</em>be nice to live just by yourself out here. If you want some privacy, you don't have to constantly dodge cousins, uncles, and... dads." He laughed nervously at himself. He probably would have gotten into the habit of pleasuring himself years ago if he wasn't worried about living in the same home as a high ranking Jounin, and his instructor besides that. Hell, he might have been able to invite girls over rather than have them get on their knees in an alleyway...<br/><br/>Poor Tara. The next time, he promised, it'd be somewhere nice... she'd have comfy pillows and blankets- silk sheets even.
