Sayuri sighed, "But now I feel bad..." She smiled and tilted her head to the side, "-and I'm not about to be owing you any favors if we run into each other during the exams!"<br/><br/>She turned on her heel and led the way to the restaurant. Inside, it seemed like a modest place- it wasn't a stall like the one offering free samples by the main road, but it also wasn't a place that you wouldn't take a date out on. It seemed like, as Sayuri advertised, a place for locals to sate their appetite for raw fish without worrying too much about how they were dressed or in what state they came to the restaurant in. The sort of place you'd go to after a long mission.<br/><br/>"Eh? Whose this, Sayuri-chan? Some friends of yours from out of town?" The man at the front asked the kuoichi. She smiled and closed her eyes, "Yeah. A table for three, please."<br/><br/>In the center of the room, there were two conveyor belts with a myriad of assorted plates and dishes placed every foot or so. The dishes each had a distinct marking on them to determine how much to tally on the bill at the end. The trio was seated in a booth next to the center, where they could freely take any dish as it came along. Sayuri took a seat and immediately grabbed a plate of futomaki. "Oh, I suppose I should also say that what I mentioned earlier about Kasumi... I know you heard me, Ichi-kun."<br/><br/>He smiled and scratched his head, "Eh heh..."<br/><br/>"Even if you two<em>aren't </em>a couple..." She said, addressing him directly and her tone turning serious, "You really shouldn't mess around with her. You'll probably hear a lot of rumors about how she... Um. Kasumi- she... just can't say no to anything. Or anyone."<br/><br/>Ichimaru laughed nervously, "Uh, I... I really hadn't really thought about it, to be honest."<br/><br/>Sayuri leaned in close, looking not at the blind ninja, but at Shiori. She was still looking at her with a sly smile when he added, "It sounded like a set-up." The Kirigakure kunoichi's expectant look melted away, and she looked disappointed. Leaning back, Sayuri closed her eyes and chirped, "Oh, well it totally was! Heh... Promise not to tell anyone."<br/><br/>The girl even began to blush, as her blue eyes went back and forth between the two. She hadn't even touched her food yet, even though she picked out a dish as soon as she spotted one she liked.
