Cirrus Surveillance, Part 2: I'm on a boat! [Modded Mission]

[Kagetsu Yuii]

The crate life was neither fun or comfortable. Incapacitated and unable to move, Tatsuo would find himself face first in poor Kikei's less than ample chest and unable to escape his flesh pillow hell. Their kidnappers, it seemed, had no care for their situation in the box so far as they stayed within it so no one thought to arrange them in a kindly manner. Or maybe that was the kindness in the robe figure's minds. There were no air holes in their box prison either, leaving them to share the same stale, pine tar air as it was loaded roughly onto a cart and wheeled over nearly fifty meters of bumpy cobblestone and rough planked decks to the ship.

Try as either of them might, the chains surrounding them were top quality and created with the sole purpose of negating their powers. S-rank criminals from the dark, dank under prison were put in restraints like these to keep them weak as newborn kittens. Combined with the paralysing drugs that kept them mostly unable to wriggle, well, it didn't look good.

It would begin to grow warm in the box and a little hard to breathe by the time it was loaded aboard the ship. It was impossible not to feel the transition, as they began to sway with the ocean after one particularly rough bump that landed the poor boy in Kikei's armpit. There was a long minute where both of them could wonder if they would ever be given fresh air or if the plan was to let them suffocate in the box. By this point, even if they were speaking it was better not to in order to conserve oxygen.

"We got you two shinobi, boss! Those idiots up the mountain sent TWO kids, can you believe it? Ones even got Sharingan! I heard they go for hundreds in the south!" The giddy voice of their first female captor came through the box. Light poured in as the lid was shoved back suddenly, spilling yellow electric light over the two kids and bringing with it sea salt air. 'We did good, right boss?"

There was a low grunt of amusement from the 'boss' that their hooded assailants were speaking to, though he never came into view. The lid was replaced though left loose enough to continue their airflow.

"You did real good," agreed a deep, rumbling voice so common amongst sailors, "But the lass hit her headset. We'll have t' leave port now, before the cavalry arrives. Git your siblings on it. I'll have someone watch them two." With a quick, "yes boss" one set of footprints retreated, and another started a slow lumber away. "Get comfy, darlin's. Yur gunna be in thare awhile." The man cackled, and the light went out again; leaving them to their own devices.

 

[Tatsuo]

Tatsuo knew it wasn't polite to stare at a girls chest, but he wondered if it was excusable in this situation. Speaking into Kikei's chest, he would begin to say. "So- uh.. I mean I am mad, but like I don't want you to cry so .. i'm gonna take charge. We're gonna get out--." Unfortunately for Tatsuo, however mid sentence he was interrupted and knocked from being pinned against her chest to Kikei's armpit. Even more unfortunate that his mouth was wide open at the specific moment. So now, not only does the suffer the awkwardness of this situation both in terms of space and in terms of being pressed up against Kikei who probably dislikes him just as much as he does her. He also had to suffer the taste of her armpit in his mouth, which he concluded wasn't going to wear off anytime soon.

Using whatever strength he could muster, he used his neck muscles to force himself up a bit to get his open mouth away from Kikei's armpit. For as long as he could hold it, he would say. "Alright, here's the plan. They're not going to look at your eyes, they understand that you've got a Sharigan.. however they didn't check us for things and I still have my headband.. I can..." he said sticking his hand into his pocket and slipping the metal out of his pocket. It was dark, so she couldn't see it but he could feel it. "I can flash it when they open the crate again, you look into it, they're bound to look at it. Hopefully the reflection wi--" he said his neck finally giving up and face planting back into Kikei's armpit. After a few seconds of rest he lifted his neck back up. "With the reflection might be able to use some of that Genjutsu on one of them. In the meantime, i'll be trying something." he said closing his eyes and relaxing his body. Tatsuo had an innate connection to energy and her energies were different than Chakra, or at least he realized as he could still feel some of that strength inside him. If he were able to gather enough, he might be able to power through these chains. From then on, he would be mostly quiet focusing on his breathing and channeling his nature energy. He hoped Kikei didn't need to have the explained twice and he hoped even more that the reflection worked.

[Kikei]

Kekei was quite in a predicament due to her medication causing whatever drug used on her to be amplified causing her to be in and out of consciousness quite frequently. Add in that the young girl would be incredibly dizzy whenever she was conscious, paired with the rocking of the boat would cause the girl to get quite nauseous. Of course the trip to said boat was not very pleasant ether having her companion pressed against her chest caused much embarrassment for the girl followed by the sudden bump causing him to land mouth first in her armpit caused her face to be a very flushed red. Of course this was only during the brief periods in which she was actually awake, because asleep she didn’t bat an eye lash to any of it.

Sadly for the poor girl it seemed as time went on the sedative actually grew stronger and she was soon out like a light her body going full limp. Not a care or worry at this point as most mental capacity stopped being a thing as she slept soundly atop her companion. Slowly but surely the darkness around her turned into a scenic vista along an ocean front, the soft scent of the salty breeze filled her lungs as she stared out into the distance of the cold night. In the far distance the moon was raising from the horizon casting a beauty shimmering reflection on the almost still water. No waves tonight it seemed as the girl slowly walked along a railing that guarded her from failing into the dark abyss.

“My what a pleasant breeze…” She whispered to herself happily, her words escaping to the real world as she was a known sleep talker in her family. A side effect of her medication if you will, speaking of which it was nearly time for her next dosage. This would be made apparent by the soft tick tock from her pocket watch the seemed to grow louder with every tick due to the immense silence of the room they were in at this point.

“I can’t remember the last time I felt this at peace.” She said as she traced the guard rail stopping only when she noticed in the far distance a young woman in all black kimono that seemed to flow as the river would in the breeze. Her face obscured almost blocked from view by mysterious means, but her hair shined as bright as the moon as it flowed just as did her kimono. One thing was clear though the figure was gazing upon Kikei as she stood upon the ledge slowly moving closer ready to plummet into the abyss at any moment.

“No don’t do it!” Kikei cried out as she began to run towards the figure at full speed, which translated to her squirming and kicking in the real world. The figure slowly slipped as Kikei made it just in time to reach out and grab the woman by the arm. This of course would be transferred into the real world by her punching straight up and knocking the lead clean off. Though with that the dream faded into darkness once more and she went completely limp once more.​

[Tatsuo]

He could see, or at least feel, Kikei slowly falling out of consciousness. Unfortunately for him, that meant she wasn't going to be any help. She began to talk in her sleep, he shook his head and sighed. Imagine had they just let him in on the meeting, he'd have been nice and quiet. None of this mess was happening, but now he had a face full of girl armpit and a pit in his stomach. While this wasn't Tatsuo's first dance with danger, it was definitely the most bleak. The boy had always been crafty, for what he lacked in intelligence he made up with guile. However, it seemed lady luck was against him on this one and offered him very little wiggle room, both figuratively and literally. His teammate was of no use, she was knocked out cold. So no chance of his earlier plan working.

He could still however, feel the natural energies gathering in him, but he was on a boat in the middle of nowhere. It was much faster in a forest, where it was abundant. However it wouldn't stop him from trying. Wiggling his nose out of Kikei's armpit he began to slow his breaths. Focusing his alternative energy into his wrists. He was able to mold wood chakra without hand signs, nature energy worked in the same way, except most people didn't have access to it. He could feel himself getting stronger, the energy surging inside him. The urgency surely helped, while he didn't like Kikei he didn't want her to get her eyes plucked and sold to the highest bidder.

He attempted to tear apart the chains binding his wrists. He felt them budge, but nowhere near enough to break. Without being able to form actual wood to break them off, there was no way he'd get through these with mere physical strength. Once again he closed his eyes, focusing his breaths as he let the nature energy flow into him from whatever source was willing to provide it to the young Kyoubaku.

[Kikei]

“Noooooo!” Kikei screamed as she bolted awake her entire body tensing up even her sharingan found a way to make a bit brief appearance. She gazed into the darkness for a second feeling the tug of the chains around her and began to struggle wildly in a panic. Her lower arms tossed in every direction as she attempt to free herself from the chains using the sudden adrenaline rush to see if it would be of any use. With no luck she turned her attention to the other source of inconvenience, the box. She grabbed at her companion and threw all her body weight in the direction the boat had just rocked towards followed by a quick throw in the other direction hoping to be able to tip the box over and so that the two would be able to wiggle their way out.

“Gotta get free, got get out….can’t stay in the dark!” She cried out loudly as she continued her attempts to tip over the box. It was probably a stupid idea but Kikei wasn’t quite thinking straight in her fear stricken state. Dreams were always way too much for the poor girl because of how vivid and real they felt to her. Her body was tense as she gripped her companion tighter trying to throw his weight into the rocking motion out of pure desperation at this point. There wasn’t much else the girl could do in the situation but to her this was the best course of immediate action as she hadn’t heard a single thing the boy had said to her during her drugged state.

“I’m so sorry! I got us into this mess Tatsuo!” She cried out hoping he would forgive her for causing them to get caught and thrown into such a predicament. She after blamed herself heavily and would forever be scarred by what had happened. This would lead her to be even more cautious and prepared even for the most simplest of missions in the future. After all even with all the preparations she had done none of it had mattered in the end because she had gotten the duo caught because of her lack luster leadership abilities.​

[Kagetsu Yuii]

Success!

Tatsuo was near finding the natural power deep inside him, blocked but not inaccessible, but the powerful sedative administered to them both upon capture. His partner in chains had fallen asleep, making their embarrassing position bearable because his human pillow could not complain. It could have been worse for the pair at that moment. They had air, they had a little light and they had their burning rage and dislike for each other to fuel their need to escape.

And then Kikei awoke. Screaming loudly she became Boudicca incarnate and took her dream stoked rage out on the roman faced prison that held them. Her timing was right, the gods were with her and the box toppled and spilled them in a heap to the ground. A moment passed, where both chain wrapped children collected themselves and listened for the footsteps of their captors but it seemed every soul on the ship was dedicated to getting the ship away from the dock. They were free of one prison, but not yet loose of their binds and still limited in their body movement. Kikei could feel her legs again and Tatsuo regained his neck and most of an arm though it hardly mattered while bound.

The room they were in was quintessential below deck cargo area. Other boxes were loaded aboard, mostly marked as food or water but two stood out as being like theirs. There was no guard in sight, but above them they could see people moving back and forth across the desk through the cage-like cargo door that allowed light and air into the lower floors. There were two doors out on either end of the room and a ladder up for when the cargo doors were opened.

From one of the odd boxes came a quiet giggling, "Are you okay?" a childish voice asked.

 

[Tatsuo]

Despite his collection of nature energy increasing. He was not able to break free these chains grips yet. They proved too strong still, however he was determined to get out of them. However what he didn't expect; was for Kikei to awake so suddenly, bursting the box open and sending the two sprawling out like bouncyballs down a stair case. Honestly every moment he spent with her made him dislike her more however he didn't voice his opinions as he listened carefully to see if they were going to get caught. Luckily enough for the both of them, they seemed too busy and distracted allowing themselves a bit more mobility. As Kikei barraged him with excuses and complaints he sighed to himself realizing that, maybe all women were like this. Crazy and bossy. Now that he thought about it, he hadn't met any girls who were at least a little bit weird. Maybe it was girls to blame, not just the whole cloud village. But either way they were going to have to get out of here someway and something told him Kikei wouldn't be the one to do it. He struggled once more to get out of his chains, his efforts were futile and they just made a small jingle as they bumped against eachother. The hairs on the back of Tatsuo's neck stood up as the voice said something. Just great, another thing going wrong. He responded to the voice in a low growl "No I can't say I'm okay, I don't think any of this is okay."

 

[Kikei]

Sadly her feat of strength did not continue past the ability to rock the box over onto its side. Cause almost immediately the sedative returned in full force and knocked the poor girl out cold once more. This time her dream began with her leaning against a cold wooden floor much like the one she was literally sleeping on. The only deference was that the location was not the bottom of a ship’s hold but a local dojo she would frequent to try and train her Taijutsu skills at. It had seemed that she had just gotten herself thrown to the ground by another member of the dojo and was quite humiliated by her defeat. Looking up from the floor she once again would see the figure that she had attempted to save in her last dream. This time though her face was covered by a mask to hide it from view as she reached out to Kikei only for her to fade away into nothing leaving only the mask behind.

“Come back!” She called out as she frantically looked around the empty dojo a darkness slowly creeping towards her until she was surrounded by it leaving only her and the mask visible. Reaching out to pick up the mask the girl hesitated unsure if she should do such a thing when there was no telling what could happen if she did. It was then that mask grinned at the young girl before the eyes turned into sharingan. It was then engulfed by the darkness leaving her alone to remain. She turned around frantically looking for a source of light but found none but she did catch a glimpse of long flowing white hair that seemed to disappear into a doorway. She began to rush towards it without hesitation, only there was no doorway just a mirror in which she could gaze upon herself with. She looked upon in horror as he eyes were no longer there; just darkness filled the void left behind. Slowly a burning sensation would begin to caress her body that originated from her eyes. Black flames burst forth from her eye sockets as the girl fell to her knees in terror only for her counterpart in the mirror to remain standing. Slowly the figure began to grow larger and begun to laugh as though it was triumphant of some cruel deed.

“Why is this happening!” The young girl called out as she punched the floor with all her might repeatedly until her fist bleed. It was at the sight up the blood did the figure stop laughing and slowly returned to its normal size. Reaching out to the girl on the floor the figure looked almost sad to see Kikei in such a state. Kikei slapped at the hand reaching out for her and dived face first into the mirror shattering it in the process. All that remained of the mirror was the mask from before, but now the darkness was lifted and once again she could see the dojo around her.​

[Kagetsu Yuii]

Annnnnnnd Kikei fell asleep again.

A child of eight or nine popped it's head out from the crate and stared at the two sleeping shinobi with a curious expression. They were small, skinny, and with the unevenly chopped short brown hair, large hazel eyes and loose cotton clothing in not-washed-in-awhile white presumably male. They looked like the type to fit in with another twelve children on a farm or working alongside their parents in a shop. Cute, but unremarkable. "Mama says when everything is bad, it probably isn't, it's a 'you' problem," they chimed innocently, narrowing their eyes at Kikei who had once again passed out, "Your weird friend is asleep? That's super weird. She's going to get face splinters."

They disappeared again, then two bare feet appeared and pushed the lid an extra space wider. "Do you need help getting back in the box?" they asked, wiggling out of their box, "They get mad if you're out of your box. I'm Aki! Why are you in chains? Are you criminals or something?" While he asked his slew of questions, the curious child came over to poke Kikei in the face. She kept talking in her sleep, like a weirdo.

"She's kinda got a dumb face when she's asleep." the kid observed, "Do you think she would eat rat poo if I put it in her mouth?"

 

[Tatsuo]

Tatsuo would focus his nature energy once again, trying to struggle out of the chains. Once again he was met with too powerful of a resistance and was not able to free his hands. However he did manage to bend them just a little bit, the nature energies accumulation was truly starting to show. Tatsuo looked to the young kid, he wasn't really sure what they'd do with him, but he realized it was wrong. "I mean, nah we're not criminals. At least i'm not." he said offering whatever form of a shrug he could within his binds. "Hey do you think you can get me out of these binds? I'd owe you one if you could. I'm really starting to get uncomfortable, i'll go back into my box after." he said rattling his chains just a bit to emphasize the tightness. "Oh? And her, yeah she's really weird. And yeah if you put rat poo in her mouth she'll most definitely eat it. She takes these pills all the time, they probably taste just as bad." he said looking to Kikei. "If you get me out of these chains i'll protect you after you put rat poo in her mouth." he said offering a grin as he scooted over closer to the kid.

 

[Kikei]

Kikei’s eyes lit up as she sprung up to a seating position and looked around slowly this time, taking in that she was somewhere quite strange. Hearing the talk of putting rat poop in her mouth as a prank was something she was not happy to hear. ‘This stupid little brat.’ She thought to herself as she glared in the direction of Tatsuo.

“Try it and will see who gets the last laugh.” She said in a low hushed tone followed by a very distinct growling noise. It was also at this point she realized just how much resistance the chains were causing her movement. ‘Well this is quite the pickle….but at least I’m awake now and can start to actually work out some way to get free. Only problem is that the chains seem to be expertly placed.’ She thought as she looked over her own body to see how the chains where wrapped about her.

“Also I’m not that weird. I’m just a bit odd is all.” She said with a slight chuckle as she tried to make light of the situation to help calm herself down even though deep down she was in quite a panic. ‘Okay soooooo from the looks of things we have three points of entry into the room we are in. few other kids are here and if we can save them we will because nobody deserves this sort of treatment.‘ She thought to herself as she took deep breaths before turning her attention to Tatsuo.

“He on the other hand is the weird one for being so normal. Anyways if you excuse me I need to check to see what we have in these other crates.” She said with a grin ignoring anything Tatsuo had to say about her at this point as she shimmed over to the crate that was also unmarked like theirs to see what it could have inside of it.​

[Kagetsu Yuii]

Tatsuo almost had it, but the powers inside him were still muffled and unwilling to do as he willed. He could tell that all his trying did seem to be making him feel less groggy with time though, so it wasn't all for nought.

The kid's little face pinched up in a scowl as he tried to decide if Tatsuo was telling the truth or not. His eyes flickered between the two chained shinobi and the box as if he were trying to work out the easiest way to get them back inside. The fact that they were out was making him very uncomfortable. "But she's in chains too," he argued against Tatsuo's reasoning. Why would he need to be protected? Was she that bad? He went to poke Kikei- because that would obviously show if she was bad or not, but the white haired Genin woke up suddenly. The poor kid shrieked when she opened her eyes and scurried back towards his crate. "The weirdo woke up! Don't eat me!"

Aki watched fearfully as Kikei surveyed herself then began a worm-like crawl towards the other boxes nearby. She would find the chains were wrapped in one long continuous spiral down her body, and there was no apparent way they were being kept from unravelling. And yet, they would not budge, even as she inched across the floor. "I wouldn't go to that one," Aki warned Kikei, backing away further into safety. Whatever in was in the box scared him a lot more than the screaming sleeper.

The warning came too late. A high pitched scream came from inside once Kikei had gone too far, and two glowing red eyes appeared at the air holes drilled into the side. Whatever it was, began to thump against the side of the barrel and scratch at its prison loudly. The scream was jutsu like in its effect, making it difficult for the children to think until its end. Aki whimpered from his hiding spot and held his hands over his ears, "I told you, dummy! Now they're going to come and see you're out of the box!" he shouted when the noise finally ended.

They could hear shouting on deck and a familiar shrouded figure stopped and stared down ominously from far above. They had been heard.

 

[Tatsuo]

"God damn it." Tatsuo wasn't one for cursing. Perhaps being the first curse word he ever muttered fully knowing what it meant, but god damn did Kikei always seem to get him in trouble. There was a chance this boy would get him out of these chains and even if not, they wouldn't have had a bunch of criminals rushing to probably put them in an either more impossible situation. His only chance to get out now was to use that nature energy he had been gathering up, but once again, it failed him. He should've just went home. He honestly began to lose hope here, there was little he could do. Slumping down, to pretend he was asleep seemed like the only viable option here.

 

[Kikei]

Turning quickly to the sudden surge of light Kike looked up only to be blinded by the sunlight. Wincing slightly she looked away and back towards the crate in which she had approached. Staring inside it’s darkness she made contact with whatever creature was inside of it. ‘Help us escape this place!’ she suggested to it with all her might as she stared into its eyes. With a soft sigh she turned back towards the light and tried her best to adjust her eyes so that she could see the figure that was looking down upon them. ‘Please let this work out for the best I know I’ve only caused problems but this is our best bet right now because soon things will get worse it feels.’ She thought to herself as she stared up.​

[WC:135]

[Kagetsu Yuii]

Kikei failed to take control of the shrouded figure before it left their sight, surely to start the descent through the ship to collect and return them to their hardwood prison. They were still chained, it was not panicked that they might escape, so they had time to formulate a plan.

Tatsuo's was to continue trying to find his power source beyond the veil of drugs, but luck and time were not on his side. With that, he decided to take a page out of the possum's book and grew limp on the floor. Kikei took a more active approach, making eye contact with the red-eyed, screaming thing from within the box. She was successful, a rare occurrence in the girls day, and managed to give and maintain the suggestion in the 'creatures' mind that it should help them escape.

What burst from the crate was human, or at least looked to be if one ignored the long goat-like horns on her head and the demonic entirely red eyes. She stretched, looked at Kikei, then dove with all her strength at the based of the ship. The hull shimmered slightly, as if under a barrier, and the demonic child's first barely made a dent. It made that high pitched scream again. It then looked up and like a bat leapt and began to crawl the ladder towards the ship deck. Kikei had failed to specify their escape route, but sunlight meant out.

Aki had been moving to try and pull Tatsuo back out of the way, he had been pretty normal compared to the weirdo beast enraged after all, but the wailing scream renewed his fear and the poor child ran for cover once again. He clearly did not like whatever Kikei had tentative control over. "Look what you did! We're in so much trouble now!"

 

[Tatsuo]

"Hey kid." he said, keeping his eyes closed. "Can you pull me behind the box? Or help me get out of the chains too, if you can do that i'll give you the five hundred yen I keep stuffed in my underwear." he said hoping the kid would help him out, since because of how he was chained he had a hard time of squirming around, he'd need to be dragged to get anywhere. Hopefully this kid could buy him sometime to break out of these chains.

 

[Kikei]

“Wait help me out of these chains first before heading out that way.” She called out to the humanoid beast with a sigh. ‘Should have stated that in the suggestion and not just assume it would understand.’ She thought to herself as she wormed her way towards the beast in hopes that it would understand what she was asking.

“Tatsuo what are you trying to do?” She turned her attention towards her companion who was currently begging the small child for help. ‘Is he that desperate now? I performed a genjutsu shouldn’t he be able to do something.’ She thought to herself while she waiting for the response.​

 

[Kagetsu Yuii]

The creature took Kikei's suggestion to heart and let go of the ladder to flip back to the ground. She snarled, surveying the chains which had by some method been linked back onto each other into an infinite loop. If there was a weak link, it was unapparent. To test their strength the Demonoid creature plucked up Kikei by the chain and gave it one long pull. When it didn't budge she did the only other thing left by her reasoning. She grabbed Kikei by the shoulders and started shaking her up and down to encourage the chains to work their way down her body. Beyond reasoning, it worked, making one wonder about the intelligence of their captors for not looping back their binds to stop this exact scenario.

Meanwhile, Aki managed to snap out of his fearful rabbit state long enough to attempt to save Tatsuo from the terrifying demoness. Groaning and crying, he tried to pull Tatsuo's weight back to the box but only managed a few inches before collapsing to the desk with a frustrated cry. It was then that the lighting turned just so, and the stars aligned perfectly for little Aki to see the tiny, hair wide crack in the chain by Tatsuo's shoulder. The metal responded to the child's touch when he curiously grabbed for it, and the link broke free. Tatsuo would feel the chains slacken, even as Aki started to panic again, "Oh no! No, you can't take them off! We'll be in so much trouble!" he cried, trying to block their removal but only succeeding in tangling himself up/removing them faster.

Kikei would have just gotten her arms free, and Tatsuo was shaking away his binds when the far door burst open to reveal their original three captors, armed and at the ready. Kikei's pet demon hissed.

 

[Tatsuo]

Tatsuo could feel the nature energy flair up in him the moment the chains had fallen off him. He had spent all of that time gathering excess natural energy that it now was bursting around him in a large aura. It was green, but not like that medics would commonly have. It was darker and more wild. Newfound power filled Tatsuo with vigor and a readiness to battle. He really hated being tied up and now he'd get his payback for it and these were Lightning Country citizens he wouldn't feel too bad for roughing them up. Tatsuo looked behind to Aki, smiling and said "Thank you." quickly before slamming his hands on the ground under him. Resulting in a large wooden wall surging up from underneath the door way. His intention was to block out the reinforcements and by him and Kikei some time to formulate a plan, however short it needed to be.

"We've got to take the boat, it can't be that hard to steer can it?" he said as he reinforced his wooden barrier with a new surge of chakra. He took a deep breath and looked back to Aki. "Hey i'm sorry to scare you, but you're gonna be fine. Just stay in your box, i'll come and get you in a minute." Reestablishing his connection with the nature energy after creating his barrier he took a deep breath and looked to the hole. "Kikei, tell me if you can still see land. It'll be easier if you can. I'll make sure no one gets in here." he said forming another hand seal. "Don't worry, if anyone comes through i'm gonna skewer 'em." Tatsuo said his attention still on the door. He made a quick glance around the ship, looking for any other would be entrances in which they could be flanked from.

 

[Kikei]

"This isn't exactly what I had in mind but it seems to work!" She said as she was shaken up by the demonic creature with a laugh as it was honestly quite funny in how simple it was for her to be released from her restraints. 'Okay soooooo what now that I'm getting free what can I do now to help the situation? Wait did he just tell me to climb up to the hold and see if I can see anything? Cause that totally won't get my head cut off.' She thought to herself as she began to climb up the ladder quickly hoping to the great lord that nobody is waiting for a head to pop out of it.

"Tatsuo if I do remember I always disliked you." She joked as she tried to use humor to lighten the tense situation that was unfolding. In fact she wished desperately to get free of this situation, as it has gone way to long for her liking. It was supposed to be simple and quick mission that has turned into something straight out of a suspense novel. She knew this because well her mother had quite the addiction to said novel types and the house was usually riddled with them.
