Fountain in the square

~I meet up with someone wearing a grey hooded cloak and exchange words for a few minutes, he hands me a small package then leaves, I walk over to the fountain and sit down wearing a different outfit then when I first appeared in the village~

~I lay on the fountain looking up at the sky, one hand shading my eyes from the sun as the other hangs over the edge of the fountain~ Your late, as usual.

A village doesn't run itself you know.

I giggle as I shed my cloak, now wearing a tight black dress with a slit up the side.

~I glance over at you as I sit up checking you out and whistles~ mmmmmm looking hot as always ~pulls out a rose as I stand up and walks over to you and slightly bows holding out the rose~ Please accept this M'lady as a token of my gratitude for allowing me to escort you for this evening.

I smile and accept the rose.

Aren't we polite.

You are after all the woman of great stature and beauty, you always have been. I heard there was a restaurant that just opened here recently, very fancy and well known across the lands. It just opened up last week, I'll take you there ~holds out my hand~ I bet you would love to go

-smiles and takes your hand gently-

Alright

~pulls you close and wraps one arm around you as we begin to walk towards the restaurant~ So did you really give up the assassin life? I heard a rumor that you know who had returned and left her mark at the scene. ~I whisper that so as not to be overheard~

Yes. I have given that up. No good comes from it.

It is a quick way to make a ton of cash, especially when vips are involved. They say its a hard life to get away from once your in it

Don't get involved Kura...-I squeeze your hand- No...it's a dangerous game.

~I stop us in front of the restaurant and look into your eyes with a smile~ You know me, I am who I am.

You're going to get yourself killed. -I laugh and smile at you-

~I grin with my whispered reply~ I am too good to be killed by anyone, the rose of death is unbeatable. ~I lead you into the restaurant, the host looking at us with a smile~ Ah, Mr. Chahn, we've been waiting for your arrival, we got your seat awaiting for you, I see you brought a guest with you for this evening. So a table for two in the vip couple section tonight, right this way ~He leads us to a secluded table away from the other people in the restaurant~

Things are getting more complicated now. -I look at you- Things are different.

Yes I know, times are changing. People dont hire assassins or mercenaries as much anymore. Thats why I went the way of business instead, opening this chain of restaurants with a partner who calls himself Shinpa. Thats why the restaurant is called Chahnshinpa. There is no point in taking a course in life that will no longer exist in the near future, before we know it, outlaws will no longer exist.

That is for the best. -smiles

Which is why I brought you here, to tell you something in perfect privacy. Before I entered this line of businesses I was working for a corporation, perhaps you heard of it. Obatakia, a disguised corporation for outlaw mercenaries.

I nearly choke on my drink.

Not in my corp...

I cover my mouth realizing that I've already said to much. I turn my head.

~I give you a serious look as I speak~ So, according to the look on your face you either didnt know about the assassin/mercenary sect. of it, or you do and just covering it up.

I sigh and turn back to you, raising the sleeve on my dress to show a tattoo of a butterfly with a red 2 in the middle of it.

I belong to that sect. They play a very dangerous game. Once you're in you're there for life. There's no do overs. You kill or be killed. I'm second in command and therefore carry out the most difficult of missions. If word got out that the Mizukage belong to such a dangerous group I'd be hanged and the Mist Village's reputation would be shattered.

~I pull out an envelope and open it up tossing a few pictures onto the table showing several of your assassinations~ Seeing as how nobody is going to walk in unless I call them I can show you these then. I had been keeping track of this organization and been keeping track of all the members thereof. Only few people have seen these photos right here, me, Shinpa, and one other, the one who got these photos taken. Luckily there is only two sets of them and I have both of them. This is one set, the other I had hidden quite well.

I chuckle, lifting up a photo.

You're not making this easier on me you know? I now am under an obligation to kill you.

I run my fingers through my hair and sit down shaking my head with my eyes closed.

~I just smile and chuckle~ As much as you make that sound like you have to, I know you wont. I wont be exposing you or the sect. you work for. I cant do that to a former lover of mine, you worked too hard to get where your at today. Take those photos and burn them if you wish. As for the other ones I have, are currently being burned as we speak.

You feel the pressure of a blade against your throat as I suddenly flicker behind you faster than your eyes can track. Your blood trickles down the edge of my blade. I lean into your ear and whisper.

You are so sure I will not kill you? Kura you have been away far to long. Or do you not remember who the Black Butterfly was?

~As I sit there I grin~ Would you really kill an old comrade who is unarmed, and who would go to any length to protect you?

I pause for a moment.

Yes. I would.

I sheath my blade and lick the blood at your neck gently.

~I put up two fingers stopping your tongue from licking the blood~ Ah, ah, ah, no dessert before the main course. ~I turn my head to look at you with a grin still upon my lips~ Shall i call in the main course now? You might want to hide those pictures as well.

~I reach out taking your hand into mine and pulls you onto my lap with a grin upon my lips, looking into your eyes I lightly press my lips to yours and softly whispers~ You know, we could just skip main course and get right onto dessert.

You would like that wouldn't you?

I giggle softly and play with your hair.

~Soflty i chuckle as I continue to look in your eyes letting my hand slide slowly up the side of your dress, then to your back going up the center of your back letting only my fingers barely touch your skin gliding up against your spine~ I always did prefer dessert first

I lick my lips gently and then giggle flipping out the window directly beside us.

Well you know how it is in the Mist Village. Nothing is free.

I flicker to the top of the restaurant.

~On top of the restaurant you see a large rose garden, in the middle of that is a building, the sign of the restaurant blocks the view from the street so nobody would know about it. I flicker out the window and follow you up there, sitting on the ledge behind you with a grin I speak softly~ You always were the hard to get type. ~I jump onto the roof from the ledge behind you putting my hands onto your shoulders moving your hair, I begin to kiss your neck gently as I am now letting my hands move slowly down your arms barely touching your skin~

A smile crosses my lips.

I'm also not my mother.

The transformation comes undone as a young girl turns and smiles at you. She looks like me except for her fiery red hair.

~I chuckle softly looking at her carefully~ So why are you here instead of your mother?

I told her to deal with some things for me.

She smiles and turns walking to the rose garden.

I'm Mizuki Hoshigaku by the way.

~I just shake my head and flicker across the roof going on top of the small building on the roof, both my feet hanging over the ledge as I sit watching her explore the rose garden~ Yoko Kurama, just call me Kura though, everyone does ~I pull out a rose as I keep my eyes upon her~

She flickers beside you holding a rose, examining it.

Now that we have finished the formalities I have a request of you.

She turns glaring at you, throwing the rose between your legs so it stabs in the roof.

Stay away from my Mother. She doesn't need you meddling in her life. Not when she just getting things under control again.

~I let out a soft chuckle~ First, you pose as your mother, then you tell me to stay away from her, you make me out to be a bad guy when you dont even know me Mizuki. As a matter of fact, I came to her to give her a proposal, a way out of the assassins life. ~I look to her not even phased about her throwing the rose at me~

What do you know?! You think that you can just come in and fix everything?! I don't trust you! You're just like all the others!

She turns away from you.

Leave. And don't come back.

She flickers away.

~I just chuckle and shake my head after she is gone laying onto my back for a moment looking at the rose I am holding, I whisper softly to myself~ shes a persistent little one ~I sit up and flicker away myself~
