Time to lose it! {Private}

[Uragaeshi Riyoji]

It was finally time... Time to lose it. For some, this may not be a thing you can lose whenever you want, it just happens when you're in the moment. Others, believe it's something that doesn't even exist. But for Ri, he's apparently done well enough (been in the right place at the right time) to be able to choose when it happens! It was a glorious night to be alive, his body clean because of his trip to the bath. He wore his usual attire, perfect for normal occasions, special occasions, and extraordinary occasions. In this case, it was a special occasion, as "extraordinary occasions" rarely ever come. As Ri walked through the streets of the Susukino DIstrict, the things that one would normally expect to be happening in such a sketchy place at night, were in fact happening. Various street thugs called out the gigantic shinobi, hookers propositioned him for a good time, yakuza stared at him as he walked by. Just the things that normally happened in this dangerous district of Kumo, but tonight was different. Tonight, Ri was solely focused on getting to his destination and doing what he intended to do. The only problem was, he didn't actually know where his destination was.

Despite the fact he's a regular in the Susukino District, he'd never actually seen or heard of the "Black Lotus," so is only hope would be to... To... ASK SOMEONE. This would clearly prove to be a greater challenge than he ever wanted, but it would be worth it in the end! Stopping for a moment, the boy looked around until his eyes fell upon a nearby casino with a yakuza in front of it. Sure, he's had some.. Dealings, with the yakuza in the past, but it was unlikely that this one was from the same group, or would even recognize him after how long it'd been since that event.

"Sorry to bother you, but do you know where the Black Lotus is?" Ri had to make sure he wasn't being too much of an asshole, otherwise it was unlikely he would ever get the information he wanted.

"It's near the plaza, you'll know it when you see the big ass sign that says, 'Black Lotus'." His answer was a tad sarcastic, and it took a bit of looking at Ri like he was a dumb ass before he actually gave it to him, but it would be worth it in the end. So off he went, in search of the "big ass sign that says 'Black Lotus'!"

It didn't take too long to find it after he started getting closer to the plaza, and the shinobi spent little time on the outside after seeing it. There was no telling what the inside would look like, beautiful women left and right, gold plated objects, marble floors. But nothing could've prepared him for what it was actually like! A massage parlor... A high class one sure, but how could this be the right place when he came here to "have fun?" There was only one way to find that out, however, and Ri wasn't about to leave without at least giving it a shot.

"I'm here for Hitomi, Hex said they would cover the cost." The boy stood at the front desk, waiting for what would come next. If the person he spoke to looked confused, it would be obvious to him that he'd been fooled.

 

[Morishige]

The woman at the desk looked up to him at least somewhat confused. Moreover, she was looking at Ri and how young he was. Most guys his age still had hope that they didn't have to spend money to get laid and usually didn't show up here. Ri probably could see that based on the general age of those in the lounge area; older men with women on each side of them. The services here weren't cheap, and that was primarily why the woman was confused.

"Hitomi is available, however, I don't know who this Hex is. If you are here for our special services you will have to pay, just like anyone else."

From across the room, she heard her name. Red eyes sought out the source and decided that it had come from her coworker at the front desk, talking to some young thing. But there was another name mentioned as she slid off of her stool. Hex. Hitomi realized what was going on right then and there. The blonde smirked and quickly weaved her way around the men and women of the lounge to stand beside the hostess.

"It's fine Miko, I know who he is speaking of. I will give you the billing information after." she began and then her eyes turned to stare at Ri. It was plain as day that this woman harnessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. "Follow me, sir."

Hitomi would lead him down a hallway and around a corner where they met another long hallway with some doors. She took him to the end and opened a pair of ornate double doors, ushering him inside before turning around and locking them. Inside the room there was what anyone would expect of a place where love was made, however, the smell that the hallway they were in before didn't seem to persist here. Hitomi looked at him and shook her head.

"How did you get Hex to do it?"

 

[Uragaeshi Riyoji]

He knew it... He's been played. It was obvious that the woman at the desk was confused, which could only mean that this "Hitomi" didn't exist, and that the name "Hex" had no pull around here. The boy let out a sigh, and was already prepared to turn and leave without another word, but then the woman spoke again. Hitomi did exist, but he was right about the name Hex having no pull. Well, maybe the girl would be worth paying for. None of the women that were already occupied seemed to be too unattractive, so he might've lucked out when he was told about this place.

"Money isn't a problem, I'll-" Before he could finish his sentence, the woman in question came up behind them and let the receptionist know what was up. Ri was unsure whether the billing information was going to be given to him or the woman at the desk, but it was clear that the girl was attractive enough to be working in a brothel, and attractive enough to take his sacred v-card. When she stared at him, he stared back, and he saw what made her eyes so special. She had mangekyou sharingan, which Ri remembered "learning" about in the academy. He was unsure of what it actually did, but he knew that it came from the Uchiha bloodline. Or implants, if you wanted. After all, that's a fairly common thing in the village since Kinjutsu are legal. Hitomi began leading him through the building, weaving through the people occupying it's space. The amount of people quickly dropped as they entered a long hallway, and Ri could now tell how this was a brothel The stench in the hallway was awful, but not one that he was unaccustomed to due to some... Lonely nights. It was that, and the smell of BO for other obvious reasons.

Once the reached the end of the second long hallway, they entered a room that seemed to have an item for every strange fetish a man-- or woman-- might have. This much Ri expected, but for some odd reason the smell from before seemed to completely disappear in this room. Was it a clever jutsu some pervert came up with? Are the janitors damn good at their job? Or does this girl not see as much action as someone in a brothel should be? Being the skeptical bastard he was, the giant assumed it was number three.

"Smells like you don't get many customers..." He mumbled, half wanting her to hear, half not. But the girl had other things on her mind, and asked him a question after shaking her head in what seemed like disappointment. The shinobi was a bit confused at first, but he figured it would be better to answer her as quick as possible. "If you mean how I got her to pay for this, guess you could say I was in the right place at the right time." The way Hitomi asked him that question made Ri wonder if this had more to do with it than just cheap sex. Now that he's think about it, it's a bit strange that a woman he just met would hook him up at a place like this just because she felt sorry for him. If she even felt sorry for him, was a bit difficult to read that girl...

"Now let me ask you something, who is 'Hex' to you? And how did she earn such a strange nickname?" The more Ri thought about the situation, things just didn't add up. He's been referred to a person who seems like she's never done what's in her job description, by a person he'd never met before who has what was obviously a strange nickname (what kind of name would Hex be anyways?), and now the woman he was referred to is asking how he did it. Unless conversation and disappointed looks is what people pay for in this place, this wasn't a normal visit. As he questioned things more and more, whatever stupid smirk he had on his face because of the excitement he felt was gone. This just couldn't be normal, and if it was then people pay for some weird shit. No clothes have been removed, no flirting has been done, really nothing significant has happened yet. Is this sex? Has the boy just been lied to his whole life, and sex is nothing but anger and disappointment?

 

[Morishige]

She had heard his little comment, but decided till after he answered her question to even address it. Unfortunately, his answer wasn't very telling in how he came to acquire both Hex's name and her own. So she would need to infer how exactly it happened without being to forth coming and interrogatory.

Now it was his turn to ask questions, and she was temporarily bound to his desires due to him technically paying. "Must be his first time." she assumed. Of course, she didn't realize the inner turmoil he was going through while he waited for her answer. Perhaps it was her duty to spell out how things worked, especially when it came to her.

"Hex is... an acquaintance. We met through a mutual friend. She once stood where you are standing now," she paused. "And I'm not the one who can answer that. As far as I know, she picked it herself." Hitomi concluded with a shrug of her shoulders.

"To address your earlier comment, it smells so nice in here because people don't spend 250 thousand yen to simply... get off. I give them an experience they can't forget. So, you've got me for the rest of the night. You can do anything when you want. Be anyone you want. Have anything you desire. But if you just want my body..." she said, trailing off. Her hands undid the note around her waist and let the silk robe fall to the ground.

Hey body was there before him, in all it's nude splendor. Her breasts were modest, but her skin was smooth and flawless. She was probably everything his dirty dreams promised. "So what'll it be?"

 

[Uragaeshi Riyoji]

Ri almost wasn't surprised that this Hex person had been here before, she seemed like the type that would take sex where she could get it, even if it was with the same gender. After all, she was about to do it with what was most likely a stranger in the hot springs... One thing that was definitely surprising though, was the price of the night he would spending with this woman. He had already questioned why a complete stranger would pay for something like this so a kid like him could "get his dick wet," but it was even stranger that she would pay that fucking much for it! Of course, he would've been able to afford it even if he had been played, but certainly not without being broke afterwards. The boy would've asked questions about that too, had Hitomi not dropped her robe off of her body. It was one thing getting a quick peek in at the hot springs, but it was an entirely different thing when they take off their clothes willingly. Even when they know you're a male. Her body was glorious, every curve seemingly perfect in his eyes. It may have been his excitement letting his imagination go wild, but she really did seem like the perfect specimen at the time.

"I... Guess I'll let you take the reigns. Show me a good time." He gulped, removing his hakama to reveal the skin and bones beneath it. The boy assumed his reply may have been a bit vague, and grabbed Hitomi's naked figure and placed his lips against hers. His inexperience was showing, as his kiss was sloppy, but the woman quickly took over. And the rest, I leave to your imagination.

{Scene fades to black}

After a good hour of Hitomi doing whatever she thought necessary to and with Ri, the two were found lying in the room's bed. The shinobi had a stupid smile on his face, as he enjoyed every second of this glorious event, while the woman had the same unimpressed look on her face as before. After a few minutes of silence, the boy stood up and approached his pile of clothing, grabbing the pipe and tobacco from his hakama. He placed a small amount of tobacco in the end of the pipe and lit it with a fire jutsu, causing smoke to rise from the burning herbs. Sitting back down on the edge of the bed, Ri placed the pipe in his mouth and inhaled deeply, holding his breath so that he could savor the sweet taste of high quality tobacco, then created rings of smoke until he had completely exhaled. He knew he still had plenty of time before the morning, as they hadn't been here long, and now that he was done doing his thing he was back to thinking about his questions from before. They could easily go another round, or two, even three! But before he did any of that again, he had to try and get some answers out of this woman. He knew she knew more than he's asked, she just had to.
[col]"That was nice, you definitely took me for a ride." He said quietly. Things likely wouldn't go his way if he talked about this right away, but he knew that small talk had never been his thing. He let out a long sigh, then extended his hand which held the pipe to Hitomi. Whether she accepted it or not didn't matter, but Ri would soon start asking questions again. "I know you know more about Hex..." He said after a few moments. The boy would wait a moment to see if she had anything to say about that, then he would continue, "Why do you think she would pay so much for a desperate kid like me to have sex?" Ri had no problem admitting he was desperate, after all, he'd lived eighteen years of his life without anything even close to sex. Or a relationship, at that. Only thing he's had is the occasional girl that made the bad decision of liking him, who only ended up getting hurt in the end. Again, he would wait for any kind of reply to what he said, then continue interrogating the girl.|

[/col]

"And who is that mutual friend you talked about?" This would be the last of his questions for now, but he was almost positive that there would be more if Hitomi actually answered them. He hoped none of these questions seemed too intrusive, because if they did he may not get the answers he wanted. Especially with the policy most places like these have, requiring their employees to keep quite about their customers identities and personal information.

 

[Morishige]

She mumbled acknowledgment to his words but never left her spot on the bed. She was starring up at the ceiling while he fetched his vice. She didn't mind. He was paying after all. Hopefully it wouldn't soak into the wood.

She took the pipe from his hand and inhaled deeply before handing it back to him. The smoke left her nostrils as he began asking questions. He wasn't leaving it alone. Her vacant expression turned to a smirk. She turned her head to look at him silently, waiting for his questions. She was being paid to be interrogated. "What a pain..."

"I dunno kid. Because she's insane? Take your pick of reasons." she began. This kid was a shinobi; she figured that out when he lit the pipe with his fire. She needed to pick her words. "Rich people can do whatever they want. They are rich. Don't try to make sense of the rich."

Now he wanted to know about Titan, and her unique partnership with them. At least that was what he was referencing unknowingly. She sighed again. Maybe he was a spy and trying to find stuff out for the village. That meant that she was gonna have to move soon. "They are the reason that she can afford this place. I can't really give you details. I gotta keep my client's secrets secret, ya know?" she finished and grabbed a pillow, turning on her belly while showing off her backside.

She looked up at him from her lounging position. "I could put you in touch with one of their contacts, but they are pretty exclusive. Think of it like a club. If they like you, you are in. But if they don't, you probably won't find them again." she added with a smile, kicking her legs back and forth playfully.

 

[Uragaeshi Riyoji]

Ri placed the pipe back in his mouth after Hitomi was done with it, and listened to her answers with his back turned. "Damn good explanation..." He thought to himself when she said Hex was just rich. Rich people really did seem to just do as they please, probably cause they know they can pay themselves out of just about any situation. The thought of rich people made his mind wander to local rich people that would most likely throw their money around... The Shinryas, since they probably have enough money to buy all of Lightning Country if they felt like it, that woman Ookami that decided to have her way with him on the night of the Lightning Festival's ball. Although there aren't too many rich people in Kumo, the ones that are there certainly aren't what someone could call normal. At least, not from what Ri has seen.

Hitomi soon went on after what sounded like an almost irritated sigh, and explained that their "mutual friend" was the reason that Hex is so damn rich. "Is that so..." He mumbled. All that answer did, was create new questions. What kind of organization deals with brothels, or the employees in a brothel? Is it nothing more than a gang of yakuza? How could they be making that much money if they were?

Now the opportunity to get some real answers showed itself when the woman went on to explain she could set up a meeting with one of this organization's members. His curiosity was already piqued, and hearing that he might be able to learn more about these people was certainly an enticing offer... The only problem left was the uncertainty of what they did. They could easily be one of the most scum bag organizations out there, hunting down women just to turn them into sex slaves. Who's to say this brothel doesn't take in willing employees? Maybe the woman behind him was actually forced to stay here, and secretly wants to escape into the real world! This was unlikely.. But something about the whole "damsel in distress" role was rather alluring to the shinobi.

"Maybe." He muttered, taking a moment to chew on his pipe as he thought of what the best course of action might be, "But before I decide to meet with anyone, I need to know more about what the organization does. Implying they could make me rich is good and all, but I want to know what I'm getting myself into first." The boy could feel Hitomi kicking her legs on the bed, which made him want to go for another round, but the answers he wanted currently took priority over his desires. No matter how strong they may be...

 

[Morishige]

She restrained her smile. She figured she could at least give him the PR version. "They try to make the world a better place, and they value those who help them achieve that and compensate them accordingly. Pays pretty well, let me tell ya." she commented with a grin. "I would stress caution in getting involved though. If you go down that rabbit hole, there is a good chance you are never coming back out again."

After a couple moments of silence, and her hope that he would stop trying to get more information out of her, she would look at him. That apathetic stare she usually maintained was gone, and replaced by a lustful one. "So, since she is paying... why don't I show you why I cost so much." she urged. It was blatantly obvious she wanted to. The tomoe of her Shaingan were slowly spinning in around in her pupil, perhaps to entice him, or simply because that's how they got when she grew excited.

 

[Uragaeshi Riyoji]

"A better place, huh?" The shinobi muttered. To him, the world never seemed like a particularly bad place. Aside from the gangs and corrupted assholes that he sees everyday, things actually seemed relatively peaceful. The only thing he could really think of that would need improving are places outside of the village, like the city that pitted young shinobi against each other. That was the kind of thing that could be doing better, but it wasn't like he ever really cared about someone else's well being. He'd come to his decision, but before he was able to tell Hitomi his answer, she called him back into bed. His eyes met hers, and he became entranced by the beauty of them. Sure, Ri noticed them before, but he never realized how beautiful they actually were. Not only that, but the face she now wore was one he couldn't resist. The boy joined her in bed once more, and continued doing what they had done before, plus a few new things. Or so he thought...

For some odd reason, whenever the boy thought of something that would improve the experience, it just appeared. If he thought having two of Hitomi would be nice, there would suddenly be two in front of him. At one point, he even thought of what it would be like to become Raikage, and so that is what he became. All of the feelings that a Raikage might feel rushed over him. Knowledge, wisdom, power. He could do and take whatever he wanted, and almost no one could stand in his way. But soon, even that became boring. This world, this strange world he was brought into gave him whatever he desired whenever he wanted it, and he wasn't about to let that go to waste. Although it wasn't something he thought of at the time, it was obvious that it was Hitomi that did this to him. Not that he was about to complain. Every desire, sexual or not, was fulfilled within the first day, and even more desires were made because of this. The boy couldn't help but want more, and it seemed that the woman couldn't either. There were times that she took over, forcing him to do whatever she wanted for a time. Even the loss of power, if only for a moment, was something he craved now.

{Scene fades to black... Again.}

After three days-- or what was really only moments-- of everything you could imagine, things returned to normal. The shinobi regained consciousness in the same bed he was in just moments ago, with the same woman lying beside him. He remembered everything that happened in that world, and could easily say that some things changed him. Certain things he hadn't realized before were brought to light, he felt that he desired more power than he had, all sorts of new fetishes were formed. Everything that happened was simply spectacular, and certainly something he might want to do again now that he knew of this place... But what they were supposed to do now they had gone through three days of... Everything, in just mere moments was unclear. No, the boy knew what he needed to do. There was still something eating at him from before, something that he decided before going into that wonderful world.

"I've decided I'll meet that contact of theirs, whether I join or not will be up to how that meeting goes." The boy would wait for whatever reply he got from Hitomi before doing or saying anything else. "I've also got one last question." Ri paused for dramatic effect, "Why is someone like you working in a place like this? Mangekyou Sharingan isn't exactly an easy thing to get I'd imagine." Taking the gourd of sake off his belt, he took a quick gulp and offered some to the woman like he had done with the pipe. Once again, whether she took it or not did not matter.

 

[Morishige]

Hitomi sighed and closed her eyes. "You aren't the first one to ask that."

"Look I'm here because I enjoy it. I hated being a Kunoichi. All that work and for what? Money? Glory? Honor? It's bullshit. The indoctrinate you in the academy to believe anything they say." she grunted. It sounded like this was no act; she must have had something happen to her.

"They make you believe everything is going to be fine and you are going to do great things. But no. Great things don't happen. Make one mistake and you end up--" she paused, inhaling deeply. "You end up getting betrayed for the sake of the mission and left to be raped night after night until you save up enough strength to stab him in the fucking throat."

"Nobody came to rescue me. I was done being expendable, so took the eyes of the man who left me behind and never looked back." she finished with a subtle hatred in her voice. Those red eyes opened up to look at him.

"Leave your name and address at the front desk. I'll pass along the information to my associates. Now leave me, I wish to rest." she finished and turned onto her side to sleep.

[Topic Left]

 

[Uragaeshi Riyoji]

The mood was ruined the moment Ri asked about Hitomi's eyes. It was obvious he'd struck a nerve when she started going on about what seemed to be a memory she wasn't too fond of, and the shinobi couldn't help but listen to it. Her rant started with a general statement about the true purpose of the academy and the lies that get told there, but quickly turned into something else. It could easily have been something that happened to a close friend of hers, but with how angry she sounded while talking about it, that was unlikely, at least to the boy it was.

"I'm sorry to hear that." He said quietly as she finished her story, Ri didn't have much experience helping people with their problems, but that sounded like the most appropriate thing to say after hearing what he did. There was a moment of silence after the girl asked him to leave, and he sighed before putting his clothes back on and making sure he had everything. His wooden sandals clicked with each step he took toward the door, and he paused for a moment before leaving. "Shita Rirakkusu by the way." Ri said as he opened the door to leave. He was unsure whether he would actually see her again or not, but now he was curious about her as a person as well. Things didn't end on a good note that night, but he felt that she revealed more to him than she would the average customer asking the same question. Unless that was something she would so willingly admit..

The giant's nostrils were met with the same foul stench from just a few hours ago as he re-entered the hallway, but it surprisingly didn't bother him as much as it did before. All of his excitement had been used up, and the only thing on his mind now was what happened in the room he just left, and what was to come. He had no way to guarantee that the organization they spoke about would end up contacting him, but if they did there was a high chance that his life would be changing very soon. If they turn out to be a group of people that truly are fighting to make things better, there was a chance Ri would join. Of course, that wouldn't be the only thing he asks for. Fighting for the betterment of the world was never something that really appealed to the shinobi. Fighting for the betterment of anything, really, just wasn't something he could see himself doing. He entered the academy because he was excited to become a shinobi, and slowly lost any idea of what he would do with the power he earned. Living day by day doing nothing, and occasionally being sent on a mission that may or may not be important on keeping the peace within the village. None of that "Money, glory, and honor" shit ever really got to him... The money sounded nice at the time because of his bad habits, but that's about it.

Before he could finish his thoughts about everything, he came to the end of the first hallway they came through when his session first started. The shinobi stopped for a moment to double check that he had everything, then pushed his way through the other customers while making his way back to the front desk. "Done already?" The lady asked before he could say anything.

"Yep, that's all for now..." He mumbled, "Hitomi asked me to leave my contact information, got some paper?" The woman handed him some paper and a pen, which he quickly wrote his name and address on. After doing what he was instructed to do, he turned and began walking toward the door. "Just give that to her whenever she comes back out."
