The woman stood still for a moment, seemingly in shock, before her open palm clenched into a fist. Without a word of complaint she recoiled her hand inwards and extracted the money from her breasts, pocketing it properly. [b][color=moccasin]"Don't do that again,"[/color][/b] Tsukiko demanded, her voice low and agitated. It was a simple command, she figured it was likely that Miyaka would follow it considering the strength she demonstrated on Takeshi's face just prior. Speaking of, Tsukiko barely gave him attention after he apologized. The boy was definitely scared to some degree, considering he also apologized to Tsukiko despite having given her no direct grievance. She simply hit him for money, she couldn't care less how he addressed the actress bitch. So the party continued onwards. At the entrance to the fancy building the girl decided to have Jaakuna instigate a nearby jounin. [i][color=moccasin]What is this girl up to?[/color][/i] Tsukiko began to wonder, keeping her mouth shut as the boy actually walked up to the innocent shinobi that was minding his own business. She didn't get to see the result of the encounter as the rest continued indoors. It was here when Miyaka gave more demands for the kids. [i][color=moccasin]I get it, she's got a whole squad so she can use us for entertainment.[/color][/i] The realization irked her, but it didn't exactly anger her. [i][color=moccasin]At least she isn't making me do stupid shit for money. I'd hit any of these brats for free if they were actually out of line.[/color][/i] Takeshi's next trial was to run the entire fifty flights of stairs with the girl's surprisingly heavy bag. He seemed fit enough to handle it, though three minutes would be a bit close. Daiki, however, seemed less obliged to follow his command. When ordered to walk like he had no knees, which was a silly request in itself, he declined. The older woman wouldn't care either way under normal circumstances, because she wouldn't care how stupid other people looked, but once again Miyaka had provided an incentive to crack down. She didn't show off the money this time, but the implication was there. [b][color=moccasin]"She's paying us, we do what we're told,"[/color][/b] Tsukiko responded to Daiki's plea, already crossing her arms over her chest and looking down at the red-haired boy. [b][color=moccasin]"Now walk the way she told you, Red. Or you won't be walking ever again."[/color][/b] [hr] [center][img]http://i58.tinypic.com/inaedy.jpg[/img] [h2][b][color=orange]Shin Maru, Topaz[/color][/b][/h2][/center] Rin seemed upset by Shin's suggestion of a change of clothes. [b][color=orange]"Wasn't about style..."[/color][/b] he muttered under his breath, hoping she didn't hear him since she seemed like the verbally abusive type. [b][color=orange]"But whatever."[/color][/b] Shin ignored her comments about his own clothes, as he was already very familiar with how the style worked and what the purpose of his attire was. But Rin stopped mid-sentence at one point and it puzzled Shin. Briefly. When he turned around, he completely froze. [b][color=orange]"Hey, Sentou."[/color][/b] Shin coolly leaned against the door frame, taking the "coolest" pose he could to impress the stark naked girl. Blood was leaking from his nose but he failed to notice. [b][color=orange]"I think you're just fine withou-"[/color][/b] His suggestion was interrupted by Rin forcing Sentou into the house to get clothed. Only after the two girls vanished into the mansion did Shin realize his nose was bleeding, prompting him to quickly wipe his face with the back of his jacket sleeve. [i][color=orange]I need to work on that nosebleed thing.[/color][/i] After being invited in by Rin's older sister, who seemed much nicer and more reasonable, Shin simply just took a look around. [b][color=orange]"This sure is a fancy place."[/color][/b] He didn't get to admire it long before the two girls returned, fully clothed now, and dragged him along to the meeting with the mission client. They were put on a boat, captained by a woman with a well-endowed woman with a voluptuous figure and little clothes. [i][color=orange]I like this mission.[/color][/i] Shin kept a smirk almost the entire trip. [i][color=orange]Being surrounded by girls is just fine for me, even if one of them is too young and flat. Being out at sea, just me and...[/color][/i] Then the other passenger revealed himself. [i][color=orange]And some guy that looks better than me...[/color][/i] His ego suddenly deflated, the smirk disappearing from his face. As it turned out he was the captain's son, which goes to show how old that woman really is despite her looks. [i][color=orange]Still would rather it be the captain's daughter or something...[/color][/i] He called them in to explain the mission, snapping Shin out of his daze. [b][color=orange]"Alright, so what's the deal here?"[/color][/b]
