Yumi only glared at Kaede when she turned the tables on her, putting her back against the wall. She looked genuinely disappointed when she spit on the ground, "Oh..." She said, sly and sultry, "You don't swallow, is that it?"<br/><br/>She wrapped her arms around the Kumo-nin's shoulders in a loose embrace as they kissed. A few passer-bys stopped to gawk, at least one couple (which probably would give cause for an argument later that night) and a few older men.. nobody dared to intrude or stare too obviously at a pair of kunoichi, however. This kiss, at least, seemed relatively dry compared to before. When their lips parted, Yumi lowered her eyes and smiled, "And to think I was going to lick your asshole!" She said, sighing, "I was wondering if you had a prostate..."<br/><br/>Her eyes went wide and wild, "Everything else is the same. If you want to take charge, then take charge..."<br/><br/><hr/><br/>"Kitano... Masamaru?" Tsukie repeated, pushing up her circular glasses, "I didn't know he had another name."<br/><br/>She tapped an ink brush to her chin. Apparently she was in the middle of drafting some documents when he caught her, "Ninjin wasn't on any missions, as far as I know. He could have been tasked with a top secret S-rank mission by the Mizukage... but I doubt it. He won his sword with blood. I guess you don't remember it... you were just a kid back then."<br/><br/>The Mizukage's assistant went on to explain how the circumstances surrounding his promotion. Kitano was anyone of importance before then. In fact, he wasn't even native to Kirigakure. He was already a grown man when he moved to the village. He had been a mercenary, a wandering-nin. He asked for a permanent residence and in return, shared his knowledge of the other villages that he had acquired in his time. Of note, he had a lot to teach about medical ninjutsu. Yet he was barely above the level of a chuunin. If it weren't for what happened next, Tsukire wouldn't have ever known about him.<br/><br/>Apparently, he had provoked a member of the Seven Swordsmen into attempting to kill him. He did not offer the challenge, but accepted it. When they fought, there was talk of foul play, yet this was a contest between shinobi, and everything was permitted. He killed the swordswoman and threw her blade into one of the reservoirs under Kirigakure. Her death was not... clean. Kitano preferred, then, to use his own blade, Hotosogi. It was more of a doctor's implement for cutting bone than a true blade, to hear Tsukire tell it. It was terrible for fighting, but what he did with it after the battle...<br/><br/>None of this helped their immediate situation, though. Except perhaps confirm that Kitano was not above deceit and even killing a fellow villager... As of late, people had become calling the village 'Bloody Mist' for these practices. Yet the Seven Swordsmen swore up and down it was this philosophy that made them strong. At last, Tsukire shook her head, "Forget I said anything. It's better you didn't go asking about a man like Kitano Ninjin. You wouldn't want his attention." She was visibly disturbed at the thought.
