"Eh?" Setsuko said, grabbing Yoshi's arm, "What do you mean by that, Yoshi!?"<br/><br/>"Yeah." The Cloud Nin said, leaning in close, "What<em>do</em>you mean by that?"<br/><br/>Naomi leaned in close as well, all three of them within a breath's distance of one another. Setsuko squirmed to get herself involved, "You first." The Nara kunoichi said, "<em>You're</em>the one who started saying something and then completely stopped."<br/><br/>He closed his eyes and sighed, but then his features turned devious and cunning as he smiled, "Truth be told, I heard there was a girl here..."<br/><br/>"There's lots of girls here." Setsuko said defensively, nudging her way into the conversation. Naomi seemed intrigued, however. The Cloud Nin continued, "She's a local- a kunoichi. The talk around the town is that she's... ah... quite friendly."<br/><br/>"Hmph." Naomi said, her eyes half closed skeptically as she smiled, "You came all this way just to get laid? It's a trick,<em>obviously.</em>"<br/><br/>"Obviously." He replied confidently, "But from what I've heard, she's not too keen on seducing anyone, but is rather one to be seduced. Yet once she's been...<em>courted</em>, this kunoichi loses all interest in them. Isn't that strange? Makes me want to learn more..."<br/><br/>"Sounds like a slut." Setsuko said, pushing up her glasses and huffing disapprovingly. Naomi laughed, "So then... what's your plan?" She asked, "You're gonna<em>seduce </em>her?" He drew away from the group and laughed, "Oh no. I'm gonna<em>deny</em>her. Bet nobody's done that before, eh?" The Cloud Nin threw his arm around the Uchiha's shoulder and smiled, "What do you say, Yoshi? Want to accompany me on this reconnaissance mission? The name's Kurai, by the way."<br/><br/>Setsuko glared at the newcomer, and Naomi leaned in close to her and said, "Let's let the boys get changed."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Sayuri smiled, clapping her hands together and cheering. She leaned in close to Shiori, putting her hand on her shoulder, "By the way..." She whispered, "Don't let your boyfriend there wander off too far..." Then she began to speak more loudly, "This passage beneath us will lead you straight there." She again brought her lips close to Shiori's ear, "There's a girl here named Kasumi. She's... well... Just keep your eyes on him, okay?" Sayuri giggled and pranced back over to the edge of the walkway, mounted the safety railing in one swift jump, and turned around with her hands on her knees. With a smile, the Kirigakure kunoichi said, "It might get you all wet... but this place is worth it, believe me!"<br/><br/>She gave a mock salute and a wink, "I'll be waiting~."<br/><br/>The girl then dived into the water below, her exit punctuated by the sound of a loud splash. The pair followed soon after- Ichimaru and Shiori landed on the water, floating atop. Shiori could see that the passage Sayuri was talking about indeed was submerged as she feared. She could see the upper edge of the cylindrical tunnel, with just barely enough space for someone to at least wade with their head up above the surface. No threat of drowning, but that was still hardly ideal.<br/><br/>Ichimaru turned to Shiori and bashfully smiled, "She said... that way, right?" He asked, gesturing towards the passageway, "If you could just... guide me in the right direction, I think... I think I can make it."<br/><br/>The things she had whispered in her ear earlier... of course Ichimaru heard them.<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">-1 Chakra for Tadayou... though it's hardly worth counting.</div></div>
