Hana looked over her shoulder as she scribbled more notes into her journal on the bed. She seemed utterly shameless then, her legs wide revealing much of her... womanness. She smiled as he spoke, complimenting her technique.<br/><br/>"One thing... like I told you before, our Byakugan<em>is</em>perfect. So I'm guessing this madness does that effect you like the others- and you can keep them activated constantly? Interesting..." She narrowed her featureless eyes at him as he answered her second question, "I see. Well, your Daimyo was right- you should have kept it a secret. I wouldn't be suprised to learn that a ninja of his calibre using such a technique... it's you who concerns me."<br/><br/>"So... you know the Kage Bunshin. Your Daimyo taught you and some of his other bodyguards... And this woman of yours'- your lover- she knows it as well?" She was quick to catch on, "She's either a member of your masked ninja unit... or one of the jounin you mentioned. Perhaps the older woman you came with?" She asked, rhetorically, "I wonder if she likes women?" The kunoichi giggled. At last, she listened carefully to his third answer, "I'm flattered- after everything I did to you, you still wanted to please me?"<br/><br/>She stood up and loomed over him with her hands on her hips with a smile, "You have a nice body, and a big<em>dick</em>, I'll give you that. I was suprised, and I would be lying if I said it didn't feel good... but to call me a trickster?" She sauntered close to him, placing her bare foot on his shoulder and rolling him over a bit onto his side. She slipped her toes onto his manhood teasingly, stroking it softly between her two biggest digits.<br/><br/>"I am a ninja, no? Just like you." She grinned, "You might have all that strength and stamina- but you succumbed to Kunoichi no Jutsu, just like so many<em>boys</em>before you."<br/><br/>In his memories, Gyokusai no Yumi began to undo her sash. As it loosened, so did her robes, the edges slowly sliding away from one another and revealing more of her brown skin and cleavage, "Yumi was of no contest to the great warriors and Shinobi of her age in open battle." Maki's voice echoed, "This is why she developed Kunoichi no Jutsu, and it is how she bested so many superior fighters." The sash fell completely to the ground, also disappearing in a puff of smoke. Her robes slid further open then as she moved closer to Tashi...<br/><br/>"You were fun, Mibu Tashi..." Her toes squeezed his member just a tiny bit, "And an excellent source of intelligence. But the next kunoichi might sooner slit your throat than tie you up. The next kunoichi might be an enemy, and I'd hate to have to kill you for revealing information about your allies in Konoha." She closed her eyes and smiled, a friendly face in contrast to her words.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"I'll have to agree with my associate here." Bontenmaru said with a smile, "Maybe after we've had some time to settle for a bit? Why, you could even keep us company." He dropped his feet to the ground and put one hand on his knee, getting ready to stand up and leave with his partner.<br/><br/>The blonde woman sighed, "I'm sorry you feel that way."<br/><br/>Suddenly, Hitomi felt a hand on her shoulder. There was another one on Bontenmaru's. The two wandering ninja reached for their weapons and turned to face another woman between them. She was dressed in plain black robes with a white poncho, a headband around her brown hair. The woman appeared about as old as Bontenmaru, perhaps even older- and not nearly as attractive as the blonde standing across the table.<br/><br/>"But there's no time for rest." The older woman said, "I need your help. You may have only seen her a week ago, but it has been<em>years</em>for me. You're my only lead, and waiting even a day is too long."<br/><br/>Hitomi instinctively tried to read her mind... This one wasn't like the blonde across the table- her mind was powerful. Not even a murmur or a whisper, only an incredible barrier protecting even the most obscure images of her surface thoughts. Bontenmaru's thoughts came to her mind. He had learned to shape his contemplations in such a way that it was easier for her to understand. While others would blindly give her general phrases or images, he had shaped his thoughts to permit her to read him like a book. 'Do you feel it?' He thought, 'Unbelievable chakra.'<br/><br/>Sensing chakra was not one of Hitomi's skills, but even she could feel a hint of the power radiating from the woman- just by her touch. She rested her hands almost lazily upon the two mercenaries' shoulders, her fingers next to Hitomi's head twitched and the blonde woman said, "It is regrettable... but I will ensure you are compensated for your time. As soon as we find Aimi, you will be free to go. You need not even fight, if it comes to that..."<br/><br/>"Just who are you?" Bontenmaru asked, narrowing his one blue eye on the woman.<br/><br/>"You don't recognize me?" She asked, lifting her head and looking down at him past her nose, "I thought a man your age would have fought in the war..."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Woman's Hide: 22 Move Silently: 28<br/>Hitomi's Spot &amp; Listen; Not high enough.<br/>Bontenmaru's; Also not high enough... but closer. :P<br/>Woman's will save to resist Satori (DC 14); 34<br/>Bonten's dormant Chakra Sense reveals an overwhelming chakra signature, verging on legendary.</div></div>
