"I didn't mean like that." She replied defiantly when he spoke about manipulating his hormones with chakra, "There's other methods to<em>controlling</em>yourself. Think about someone you hate, or something<em> utterly</em>unstimulating. It's what I have to do sometimes."<br/><br/>Naomi shook her head and laughed, "Look at you, talking about<em>romance.</em>Yoshi, do you think if I had sex with you right now- it'd have any bearing on how I'd treat you during the exams? For the sake of Konoha, I'd help you out- sure... but I wouldn't hesitate to sabotage you if that's what we had to do in order to advance, regardless of our previous intimacies."<br/><br/>She narrowed her eyes, "I thought you were the same way... but maybe I was wrong- who would have thought the son of Uchiha Sasuke would be so... sentimental?"<br/><br/>"Do you really think Kasumi cares?" She asked, "That<em>seems</em>to be her appeal. She has no lasting fondness for the men who provide her 'samples', so why should there be any awkwardness if they face each other? You could fight to your hearts' content without remorse. No broken hearts there... So what's all this talk about<em>romance?</em>"<br/><br/>She seemed to have completely dropped her interest in pursuing intelligence on other ninja for the moment- Yoshi was much more intriguing to the brilliant kunoichi than anyone else at that moment, "It's that kind of naive thinking that gets people killed in the real world. I don't mean just from seducers like Kurai or Kasumi... but suppose you and Tēru were captured, except that you've been poisoned. Setsuko wouldn't hesitate to rescue you, but then she endangers the whole mission- having to take care of you will only slow her down."<br/><br/>"But you know this." The kunoichi stepped closer, "You're not unintelligent... so I doubt you're afraid of breaking my heart." Naomi smiled, "So what<em>are</em>you afraid of? Do you think you'll fall for me if we-" she pointed her thumb backwards, "-went back to your room and fucked now that your teammates are all gone?"<br/><br/>She chuckled, "I<em>was</em>headed back there for the free lunch..."
