Drink To Days Gone By. [Mio]

[Kokomo]

The strangest request came upon her door that day. It was a request that asked of her apperance at a local bar, Blue Sand, in order to meet the one and only Mio. She hadn't seen this woman in over a year, and she was requesting her in a public, crowded, and safe enviorment--Well that seemed logical and fair. Kitanai would easily find herself dressing in a red hot outfit for the night, and looking forward to, perhaps, light conversation between the two mutual lovers. She wanted to wear as much of her close and sexy outfits as she could, for now.

When she arrived in the bar, in red hot stillhetos, and a dress that hugged her curves, and actually showed most of them, she moved to the bar, and sat down and ordered an ice water for the moment. The place seemed really high class and decent, and mostly casual, unlike most of the seedy places that Kitanai had spent her younger years at. The woman was 23 now, and since the last time Mio saw her, her hair would of been cropped from the waist length, up into a curly chin length adorable mess. Her round cyan eyes scanning the bar as she waited for her newfound inviter.

Needless to say, Mio was rather nervous. She hadn't seen let alone talked to Kitanai in over a year. And yet, she sent an invitation to the woman asking her to meet her at a bar. Oh father of stormcallers, was she nuts or what? Oh well, she was here now, in a hot outfit, and she didn't care how things went. As she arrived at the building, she took a deep breath before walking in. She scanned the room for someone that looked similar to the woman she remembered. The now nineteen year old had changed a bit, but the newest thing was the tattoo gracing her upper back. Her hair was swept up into a high ponytail, and her tattoo exposed to the world.

The people in this bar knew Mio, and were therefore used to her somewhat eccentric nature, or was it her electrical nature? The thought made Mio chuckle and she saw the woman she was looking for. Her note had asked her to wear some red so that they could find each other more easily. The woman was certainly wearing red. If Mio wasn't straight, she would be drooling. She walked calmly over to the woman and asked her question.

"Kitanai? Is that you?"

"What's that?" Kitanai said, turning her head towards the woman standing before her. They had similar traits. They had dark hair, bright blue eyes, and smooth skin that made them stand out. Before, their hair had been the same length too. However, Kita's was curly and now cut off.

"Oh, hello, Mio." The woman smiled sweetly, patting the spot next to her for the woman to join her. "How are you? Wow, I haven't seen you in a long time." The woman was trying to make polite and sweet talk to the woman. The poor woman was having issues accepting the fact that this woman sitting beside her was sleeping with her boyfriend. Despite being in an ope relationship, the idea was fresh and new to her, unlike the other participants in the relationship.

Not to mention Koho tried to kill her.

Mio couldn't help but smile softly as she took a seat next to the other woman. Despite what people might think, she and Saemon hadn't slept together. They slept in the same bed sometimes, but they hadn't had sex. Mio was just too damaged still from her past.

"I'm doing alright. Hoping Saemon will turn up with some information about my parents. I haven't seen them since I was six. I don't even know if they're still alive." Mio waved the barkeep over and ordered something somewhat weak. She had a high tolerance, but she didn't think that drinking her favorite in front of Kitanai was the smartest idea.

"How've you been? You look good. The short hair looks amazing on you."

 

[Kokomo]

"Oh," Kitanai was very poor with sympathy of any sorts. She failed at apologizing and comforting, and simply stared politely at Mio as she mentioned her parent situation. There wasn't anything she could think of to say, or even do, as she had no idea about this woman. The behavior of her or past what a complete loss on her, and rather, she just found herself watching and waiting for Mio to take the cue to speak again, which she did. Asking the same question as Kitanai to keep the conversation flowing.

"Oh, I'm fantastic, thank you." She smiled, taking a long drink, the coolness felt nice on her dry throat as she nodded to Mio. "Oh, thanks. It was a bit of a surprise cut, but I think it's alright." She shrugged, remembering the night she took a knife to it in a churlish and cunning random act of passion. "By the way, that shirt is absolutely stunning, where did you get it?" Kitanai wouldn't notice the tattoo was new, as she didn't know she had it before. However, the form fittingness of the young woman was certainly new and different.

Well, so far so good. Neither of the female shinobi seemed to be at each others throats yet, and hopefully wouldn't be. The haircut was a surprise? That's different, normally people- oh wait, a possible battle, that would do it.

"I bought it the other day in the Silver Crystal District. Trying to find clothes to show off a tattoo is hard. The art is new, by the way. I got it done about a month ago. I figured it would be nice to have a representation of the freedom I fought so hard for, hence the wings."

Mio smiled as she recalled her decision process in getting the tat. She really liked how it came out, and she wasn't afraid to show it off. Before, however, she would never have gotten a tattoo, let alone show it off. It spoke volumes at the amount of healing she had accomplished that she was able to show it off.
