Undercover R&R (open)

[Ryu Hime]

Hakuren has used her vampiric powers to make some people into her mindless ghouls that will follow her every command. Being the spy that she is, she uses them for possessing mostly. The idea is that with different bodies she might be able to get into places she normally stands out. Hakuren is a blind woman that was born physically frail. So unless she is trying to disguise herself as a beggar, it does not take much for her to stand out which is why she created these ghouls. Hakuren was never one to physically leave the gates; the tournament was the one exception and it bit her in the butt. If a mission requires it she will do so, otherwise she prefers to go outside into the desert in a body of an animal or in this case a ghoul.

Hakuren is currently at the beaches of The Seaside Paradise under the disguise of a shinobi on vacation. Now for the real reason for her presence her would be to help the war effort. Soragakure is a popular vacation resort and an even more popular home for those with wealth and influence. War is an expensive thing and Sunagakure will need funding. Fortunately not all the nobles and lords fall under the daimyo's banner.

After booking a room in one of the many hotels in the area. Hakuren heads for the beach for some undercover R and R. Hakuren was using ghoul number four, which possesses the ears and tail of a fox; traits the Aikayume Clan of Sand are famous for. Hakuren wore a two piece bikini and a T-shirt. However the T-shirt fails to conceal anything for after a quick dip in the water it was practically see through. Stepping up to one of the stands along the beach she orders herself one of those alcoholic beverages with the little umbrella.

After deciding that some proper rest in a more temperate area of the country, and asking around, Naikishin made his way to Sora. Feeling better after the months he spent searching for Ko and even the sword that she resided in, he had felt more like himself. But even with feeling whole again, he still felt a little off but he couldn't really put his finger on it. It bothered him for the duration of his travels and once he had gotten to Soragakure, he'd make sure to put them off to the side as he had eventually made his way to be some sort of resort and what he could tell to be mostly a tourist trap, though he could be considered a tourist? He didn't have a home anymore after the flash freeze that happened to Kirigakure.

Reaching the main desk and booking a room there, he'd spend a short while in the room mostly making sure his body was recovering well enough. His body was healing nicely enough, though there was only one thing that his body couldn't really heal by itself and that was his missing eye. But that was generally a small worry on the list of worries about his body at the moment. His right arm and left leg were doing better than before so that was something.

Changing into a pair of swimming trunks and a bit of a floral button up shirt, he'd leave his room, the hotel, and head towards the beach. The lack of depth perception hindered him a bit so bumping into people was common for him but the person that he walked into was wet. Stopping almost immediately, he'd turn to the person to tell that they were wet and had both the ears and tail of a fox. "Sorry about that..." He said, as it still took him a moment to take in that the woman had both the ears and the tail of a fox. Having white hair and one closed eye was a little weird but not that attention attracting as what the woman had, at least to him. Though having both the weapon he always kept with him and a new one he had recently acquired were pretty odd. a regular sized wooden katana and then a smaller wooden tanto were kept to the sides of his swimming trunks, the katana on the right and the tanto on the left.

Bump. Someone collides into her and time seem to move slowly as her glass leaves the safety of her hands. She watches in horror as the glass begin to travel away from her and tries to save it, but with no success. After the glass hits the sand beneath her feet time resumes its natural pace. Thankfully the sand provided enough of a cushion to keep the glass from shattering, but it contents was quickly soaked up. Without a moment's hesitation she turns around and… “I’ll take a passion parfait.” orders herself a new drink. This time it was a mug filled with a liquor that tastes like passion fruit topped with fresh cream, exotic fruit and a couple of sticks of pocky.

Unlike her sister-in-law Kohana, Hakuren was not quick to anger. Hakuren was always understanding and willing to forgive. She prefers peaceful conclusion rather than sorting to combat. Hakuren was not your average shinobi as she was non-combative by nature. She knows plenty of jutsu but rarely uses them to take down an opponent. With in the village she takes on jobs dealing with surveillance and espionage. She is quite skilled in the art of spying and even was given the Anbu title of Watcher because of it.

Hakuren taking her spoon, dips it into her drink and gives it a taste. Instantly there was a smile on her face. “Mmmm delicious, here you have to try this.” She takes her utensil and once again scoops a spoon full. She then offers Naikisin to take a bite. Hakuren did not care about indirect kiss nonsense. She knew some people get all flustered about it, but mostly it something young teenage girls get hyped about.

Naikisin was probably feeling a little confused right now. More than likely he expected the woman to get angry at him for causing her to spill her drink, but this woman seems to act as if it did not even happen. On top of that she was being quite friendly and cheerful for a person being bumped into. "My name is Hakuren, what's yours?"

 

[Rakujo Yumeko]

Well... that was certainly something that he hadn't expected. The woman seemed to just order another drink and was more calm than expected over losing her drink. She'd take a spoon of her drink before telling him how he had to try some. He'd blink for a bit before taking the spoon slowly and trying the drink. It wasn't bad but it wasn't something that he'd have the first thought to get had he just come up for a drink a different time in a different situation. He would hand the spoon back to the woman after tasting the drink.

Hearing the woman introduce herself, he'd clear his throat before speaking. "I'm Naikishin. Whats brought you out here, Hakuren?" He asked. This was the first proper sense of socialization he had for quite a while. For a quick second he'd look the womans body before just waiting on her response.

Hakuren grabs another spoonful, eats it and her tail wags back and forth happily like a dog. Despite having years of experience possessing animals, she still does not have complete control over tails. Her tail, especially in canines, always seem to announce how she’s feeling. She really wishes she could control it better because it makes bluffing a little difficult at times. “I’m on a top secret mission.” She says with a giggle before walking up to him and whispering in his ear, “My mission is to get rest and relaxation.” Though her voice sounded like a whisper, the volume was normal voice level. The man at the stand even got a chuckle by that response.

“I’m here on vacation like everyone else, silly.” Walking away from the stand she plants her beach umbrella into the sand and takes a seat under it. Should the man follow her she would welcome him to sit with her. She continues to enjoy her drink as she gazes onto the ever expansive body of water before her.

 

[Rakujo Yumeko]

The white haired man watched as her tail started to wag back and forth as she had another spoonful of her drink. Telling him that she was there on a 'top secret mission' threw him a bit off guard as she moved close and spoke in his ear that her mission was there to get some rest and relaxation. A wave of irritation washed over him as he raised his right hand to ping the bridge of his nose. He could already tell that this was going to be interesting, though he didn't have much of a fondness for jokes such as that but he couldn't control her.

As she spoke about being there on vacation like everyone else, he'd sigh and watch as she walked away and planted a beach umbrella into the sand, taking a seat underneath it. He'd follow her and take a seat on the other side of the pole that held the umbrella up in the sand and would lay back on the sand and star up at the umbrella that covered part of him while his legs rested in the sun. "So, outside of vacations, what else do you do, Hakuren?" He'd ask, just gazing at the bottom of the umbrella as he waited for the moment that she'd answer.

After giving enough time for her to actually answer, he'd sit up and actually look up at her. "So, what's with those fox ears and the tail?" He'd ask, pointing at both of them. When he was last around he hadn't seen much of them and he didn't remember too terribly much from his rampage throughout Suna not long ago.

Hakuren places a hand on her chin and stares out into the ocean. She was not actually looking at anything but was contemplating what to tell him. Hakuren did not really take all that long to give him an answer. “I've been Tutoring this one individual lately. He really needed lesson on the transformation jutsu. I caught him peeking on a blind girl in the bath house and his jutsu was not fooling anyone. He looked more like a drag queen than an actual woman.” Naikishin would probably wonder why she was helping the perv instead of berating him, but obviously this woman was something else.

When he asks her about her ears and tail, she gives him a puzzled look like the answer was obvious. “You are not from around here are you? Did you not watch the huge tournament in Tea Country?” The tournament was quite the big deal, especially around here considering how it ended. “Azusa that lost in the semi-finals and Akujin that [won or lost] in the finals both had animal like aspects to them. They were both from Suna and you’ll find such traits common place here.” Azusa was of the Aikayume clan and Akujin the Byakko clan, which were two of the biggest clans in the village.

“If you doubt the reality of it, you can touch my tail if you want.” Hakuren then begins to root through her pack till she pulls out a brush. “In fact would you mind brushing my tail. Consider it pay back for spilling my drink.” Naikishin knew that it was going to come bite him sooner or later. At least her punishment was quite light compared to what others might have demanded. “Just do be gentle. It is quite sensitive.”
