There she stood, face to face with the front door to the house and honestly it was one of the most nerve-wracking things she'd ever had to endure. Coming home on a normal day was whatever, coming home from a mission a little banged up and bruised was cause for a little concern but it's part of the job. Walking in covered in bandages once again and missing a pretty large piece of her body? The lectures alone were enough to make her second and third guess even opening the door up. There was going to be a lot of explaining either way and hell, the person she needed to build her a new arm was also the person she was dreading telling the most so it was all a big mess. With a long, drawn-out sigh she pushed open the door and stepped in, calling out. "I'm home" She called out, waiting a moment in complete silence, stage one complete now time to search the place. She started by moving u to Sousuke's bedroom but found nothing and assumed he or someone would have answered if they were on the first floor so she went down into the basement and again empty. "Well... I can prepare myself a little more then, right?" She spoke to herself as she made her way to her own room, trying to think of where and how until she had an idea.
Pulling on her headset she tuned into the ANBU channel and spoke in a somewhat defeated tone. "Bodybag here, Anyone got eyes on Sousuke?" There was silence for a few moments and she asked again, eventually, she would be given her answer and roll her eyes. "Meeting more upper class for another party huh?" The location she'd been given was in the crystal district which could only mean that that's what he was up too. Whether he enjoyed it or not was unknown to the girl, all she knew was that he'd been doing a lot of Shmoozing since stepping down, part of his new position? She certainly didn't know. "Well... better dress the part I guess." She spent the best part of an hour struggling to dress herself, a task she wouldn't miss once her new arm was in place, if he agreed to build it for her of course, he could always refuse to punish her for being careless but, was he like that? She got herself dressed up appropriately for the area she was going to walk in to and went on her way.
She'd never spent this much time in the silver or golden districts, it was just a world beyond her patience and comprehension, also it was policed quite a bit more heavily and when she was looking for food the poorer areas just made it easy work, but that's the past now and she was soon stood in front of a building, looking at the door whilst she mentally steeled herself. "Well, here goes something." She said to herself before moving into the establishment. The place was filled with men and women dressed up nicely and chatting with one another, soft music played through the room obviously so as to not distract from any business that may be happening throughout the event. Immediately Teke felt out of place, even if she was dressed up nicely, she still stood out what with her bandaged left shoulder and lack of arm. She started to move into the crowd before being stopped by a burly man who'd been watching her since she entered. "Private party miss, can I see an invitation." She rolled her eyes and sighed. "Wasn't invited, I'm here to see someone about something important." He looked her up and down and then right into her eyes. "Who is it you're looking for?" She put her hand on her hip and said. "Takahashi Sousuke. My father. I've recently come back from a trip and need to speak to him urgently about a few... Developments." As she spoke she moved her right hand over to her left side, stroking the bandages to emphasize just what the news would entail. "Or you can go find him and tell him you refused his injured daughter entry." She grinned, letting the words sink in for a moment, her smile telling him she wasn't fucking about. "Fine, but I'm watching you." She moved past him, looking back and giving a wink. "Don't look too hard now." She teased and moved into the crowds to begin her search.
As she moved through the crowd, a waiter came by with a tray, offering out drinks, now Teke had drunk alcohol before and it really disagreed with her taste buds, maybe because she was younger... or in a younger body at least. She stopped the man and took a glass, downing it in one mouthful before placing it back and picking up another. "Thanks." She said with a no of her head before moving on, sipping at the liquid. Somehow it still didn't taste fantastic but, it was certainly not as offensive as previously and it was growing on her bit by bit. Eventually through the sea of upper-class chatter and laughter she spotted him, but instead of walking up to him, she moved into a position where she would be in his eye-line and waited to see if one, he noticed she was looking over at him and two, if he recognized it was her, she looked different for sure but, it was still clearly Teke if you looked long enough, just a lot taller and womanly.
