Raikage's Hidden Home

Achilles, had a sneaking suspicion, that Hana was worried, considering the fact that they were a few minutes away from the inner part of the village and were now on what would seem like a random mountain peak. However, once Achilles had reached the intended spot, he turned and have Hana a smile, smacking his hand onto the ground a release seal, seemingly crawled off his hand and onto the rock. After doing so, a walkway began to appear into the side of the Mountain peak. In actuality the part of the mountain where the peak is has been dug out and remodeled into a very nice home, but a seal with a henge in it, keeps the entire thing hidden.

After the home revealed itself, in all its glory he hoped it would impress Hana, not only by it's appearance but by the way, Achilles was able to keep it hidden and unveil it. The house itself being built into the mountain was two stories high, with wood paneling used as the outward appearance, making it look much more livable as compared to stone, and rock. The door was a dark thick wood which was opened by the clone inviting the two, inside and following this final command proceeded to jump off the cliff where it exploded in a burst of Lightning.

After giving Hana the invitation to walk in first he followed behind shutting the door behind them, and allowing her to have a once over, of the interior before walking to the dinning room. The house's interior was very well furnished, everything of course made of wood and marble, as Achilles did have a particular taste, and spent a lot of time in his home. The floor was all sanded wood, which made it so smooth that after taking his sandals off at the doorway had actually felt better than his sandals had. The dinning room which he entered afterwards, had the same flooring but also had dark green painted walls, along with several family pictures with him and his parents.

Walking aimlessly behind him Hana’s head would begin to feel the full fledged result of her earlier decisions. Having walked a few minutes outside of the city she didn’t care much about the fact she was following the Raikage to be fair, but was still overall a complete stranger out across some of the peeks. She wasn’t particularly pleased about a leisurely scenic walk out to the middle of nowhere when he stopped and smiled back at her. “This date is not starting off so well not going to lie.” She grumbled placing her hands over her eyes as he touched the seal which caused a walkway to appear leading to a house that was built into the mountains. Blinking she had to admit she was quite impressed .

Watching his clone invite them in she half smirked at view of the Raikage bursting into a spike of lightning and vanishing. It had been far too long in her mind since she had been separated from a drink. Looking about the entrance of his humble abode she asked, “Where is my drink?” She didn’t care too much about the respectable invitation as she hobbled into the building. Hearing the door close she looked back realizing the error in her ways. Dad always told you not to go home with strangers. She sighed planning on doing something stupid if she wasn’t answered with a shot glass. “I must admit it is a nice home. But! I swear Raikage Raike I swear if I don’t get something for this headache soon I am gonna punch something.” She said trying to smile as happily as she could be.

Hana didn’t enjoy being yanked out from her drunken environment and the tipsy side effects were fading and now she just had a headache and as far as she was concerned it was Raiki keeping her from that drunken state now. “Give it up Achilles I am tired and not going to play around. Her eyes went from exhausted to displeased.

Achilles had figured her mood wouldn't be too, good it'd been about thirty minutes or so since her last drink, just when she was getting a bit tipsy. Sighing, he knew what he had to do was a bit crummy but, it had to be done, if she hated him for it, he was okay with that, as long as it meant she was better off. Going into his kitchen he came back with a bottle of the good stuff, a special sake, made in Ame which he got back in his days as a trader. From what he could remember the stuff was three times stronger then anything they had here and about ten times more expensive.

After grabbing the bottle of the expensive sake and two small glasses from which to drink from, a sigh escaped his lips to which he soon traded for a smile. Entering the dinning room he saw a very NOT happy Hana pacing about, "Sorry, I wanted to surprise you with the good stuff!" Setting down the bottle and the two glasses he poured them each a drink and began to pull out their food from the bags. "You are still hungry I take it?" The next few steps he was going to need to be very clever, he needed to get the seal on her within the next few moments, as he only had that one bottle of good sake around. Besides he didn't want to feed her addiction too much more before completely cutting her off.

He hoped the ice, blankets, and extra ramen his clone had per-prepared would be ready for later tonight, because it was going to be quite the arduous journey. Achilles was not looking forward to this particular battle, but it was one he needed to win, if at least to help his ANBU Captain, overcome her problem, and maybe reveal any other ones he didn't know about. He stood, just next to the table waiting to see just what exactly, Hana's next step would be, because without knowing that, he was in wait and see mode.

As he wandered off toward the direction of the kitchen she stood their growing a bit more impatient till she saw the sweet nectar which he had brought back with him. She could hear the choirs of angels singing as the expensive drink came forth in his hands. She smiled her mood cheering up quite nicely. As any person with an addiction would do Hana smiled as she looked at the bottles. She looked at it placing the brew and it’s cost deep in her mind for future reference. “Oh this has suddenly become the best date ever.” She smiled reaching out she would grasp onto the glass and offer it toward him as a toast. “To a first date?” she smiled eyes now closed happily. Waiting to hear the clink of glasses that he would hopefully offer her in reply.

Although in that moment she had also let her guard down which meant that any plan of attack or subdue her was best timed for that solitary moment. If it took too long then Hana might have some extra time to react if she recognized what was going on. She already had some trust issues which admittedly were quenched by the glass which she was eagerly awaiting to down as soon as she could.

Achilles sighed inwardly, he was so happy for this one moment, and he could see the faux, happiness that Hana exuded. He watched as she picked up her glass and raised it up for a toast, to their first date no less, meaning she was considering another afterwards. The thought had almost causes Achilles to forget what he was doing, he reached forward, causing the clang of glass to ring out and echo through his home. "To the first of many!" his proclamation was loud and proud, as if he had already won, the fight of getting her to like him, however it was only the start of his plan. He quickly placed his drink softly onto the table and moved as fast as he could, placing his hand around her free hand.

The way he did it however, was not rough, wasn't sudden, but felt more like an attempt at physical contact from a shy guy to a girl. He hated having to play her in such a manner, especially since he truly was starting to like spending time with her, but hopefully it would be worth it afterwards. He focused his chakra and began to form the seal in his mind, he was doing the, Greater Raiton Seal. If he was able to maintain the contact for the full second the large black seal would appear on her hand, and move to her stomach.

He chose the stomach, so that when and if he had to activate it, it would cause her to keel over, hopefully minimizes the output of any type of fighting she could do. Of course he didn't use near the full amount of chakra for the shocks to be A ranked in strength. She was strong, but he didn't want to subject her to multiple lethal level shocks to her body, if he guessed, he would say at the amount of chakra used each shock would be about as powerful as a C ranked Jutsu.

Chakra Levels: 278/300

She enjoyed the thought of what he said smiling she would bring the glass up to her lips drinking this one far more casually than the other times savoring the taste. As he first made contact with her hand she thought nothing of it still taken back by the drinks delicious taste when she began to realize. The full second was already up though and she had put down the drink now the black seal moving down from her hand to her bare stomach. She felt rather betrayed as well as confused, what was this all about was it really all one long charade to set her up for a secret death or something. She was positive this was not something normal people would do on their first date. Trying not to jump to conclusions she  would pull away as the mark was now above her belly button.

“Achilles you better have a logical explanation for putting this seal on me,” she stated at first a bit playfully, although she was really getting quite wound up inside she was preparing her own counter attack if this wasn’t more than some sick joke of his he would play on the ladies. Her smiled faded to an angry glare in a matter of seconds as she began her own jutsu expecting that this was an attack on her and against kumo in that respect. He would have time to react to it but he would have to choose his next attack wisely as she was prepared to start start tossing out punches that could crack bones with her Mega Palm Thrust Technique which was now making her hands emit a glowing aura around them.

She wasn’t sure whether she should feel betrayed or honor that he had to go to such elaborate measures to just set her up with this seal that now painted her belly. “I will give you to the count of three to give me a good reason you did this. THREE!” She yelled throwing a empowered sing toward his gut.

His planned had worked, he had gotten the seal on her stomach, and it only took a single drink, not that he would have minded getting to do it without the drink. Certainly would have made his life easier, that's for sure, but this way worked too even when she got worked up he had been expecting it. But he kept a calm look on his face, he wasn't outright smiling, as even to him it would seem a bit disconcerting, instead he prepped himself. He stood tall and spread his arms out wide like he was going to give a big hug, hey he deserved one hit for trick her.

When she had asked for the logical explanation he had to admit, the only one he could think of, logically, was 'My ANBU Captain can't be a drunk so it was either this, kill her, or fire her'. Instead he chose to think on it a bit, until he heard her call out again, that he had to the count of three to explain, this all happened so quickly, she wouldn't have even had time to ask why his arms were up. Using his words as quickly as he could he just performed a gut reaction, "Because I care!!"

Unfortunately his words hadn't traveled fast enough, as the open palm made contact with his mid section sending him down through the hallway of his home and smashing into the wall cracking it. Thankfully, he had the where with all to plant himself in a hallway that led into the mountain side, instead of outside. Other wise they would be scraping him off the ground hundreds of feet if not thousands of feet below. Taking stock of the damage, two ribs were cracked, and he coughed up a bit of blood, other than that he was relatively fine.

"Wow, that hurt, way more than I was expecting." Taking the moment to breath he left himself planted against the wall of course this time he was on the ground instead of in the air. He was now just waiting on either the apology or follow up question to come from Hana, honestly he only expected the second.

As the punch connected firmly with his gut she would watch as he would go sailing through the air toward the wall down the hall. She had heard his reaction to her question and paused slightly. She wasn’t completely off her rocker with anger yet so the few words he said did get to her after sprawling him against the wall with her strengthened blow. She could feel the cracking of his ribs as it connected a a bit of centered as it didn’t to as much harm as she intended to when she had first prepared it. “I am not a drunk?” She said feeling like the accusation was absurd, “I could stop whenever I wanted to.”

She calmly walked down the hallway toward the Raikage a mildly unpleasant look across her features. Tower over him still mad but obviously capable of being reasoned with. “If you care so much you would let me continue about my business. Sir.” She stated with tad malice in her voice. “Well the first date was fun but I will be leaving now, Kumo will need us I imagine I can’t leave them without an Anbu captain. Looking down at him she would have both her arms crossed looking down upon the Raikage prepared to then say what next came to her mind.

“I appreciate your concern but I am going to count to three for real this time and I want this seal removed from my belly or next one is going to be at your face. Something tells me that it won’t be as pleasant as the first time.” She wasn’t joking at all with him she wasn’t pleased and believed she really didn’t have a problem as she brought one hand back preparing for a swing. “Three.” She said plainly keeping true to her word and actually going to give him a bit more time in between the count down. Her fists would begin to stop glowing
as the next would just be her normal strength.

Achilles could have sworn he heard some shuffling behind him, but that was crazy, no one knew they were up here, and they couldn't see...."Damn forgot to turn the seal back on." Groaning as he moved to get up, if there was one thing, Achilles could do better than most it was take a hit, and keep on trucking. Unfortunately he was distracted by Hana's voice, and was quick to react with his adrenaline running like crazy by this point. "I'm afraid I cannot allow that, Hana-chan." He was of course referring to the fact, that she said she would be leaving now, and that the village needed her.

"It's because the village needs you, that I can't allow you to leave, until we've dealt with your problem." As he finished talking he heard her speak again as well, once again giving him three seconds to remove the seal. Once again, being the noble man he is, didn't budge, but he also didn't make an effort to avoid the punch, the chakra was gone from the blow so he was only in danger of some pain and bruising. Pain he could handle.

Before she could count to three, he figured he'd give his piece again before taking the blow hopefully beating out the clock this time, "I want you to be better." It wasn't much, but he had hoped the fact he was being sincere along with the fact, he was taking the punishing blows repeatedly would give him some credibility. Just in case though, he closed his eyes as he waited for the next strike.

Watching she didn’t see him prepare to use the seal that he placed on her gut at all. He was fully prepared to just take another punch. She didn’t want to lose her resolve on the matter though so she kept counting. “Two.” She shouted her fist reaching it’s full arch another second in between her countdown as she was feeling a bit guilty seeing the blood he spat up heding his wisdom in the matter which the village needed a fully functioning Captain not just another drunken disorderly woman. “ONE!” Her fist flew through the air toward his face delivering another firm punch this time far less damaging than the one before. Although he may wake up the next day with a black eye from it. She once again made another firm punch on the man who wasn’t fighting back.

She was beginning to get be annoyed at how sincere he was being feeling cruel for punching him again while he refused to defend himself. “Defend yourself damn it!” She screeched yelled at him as he refused to make any moves or even trigger the seal that was now placed upon her gut. Quickly she would deliver another two jabs with the last one coming from her nondominant hand. The next few punches she would deliver squarely to his gut wouldn’t be close enough to hit the cracked ribs but strong enough to possibly know a bit of the wind out of him. “Fight back darn you.” She howled remembering back when her father used to train her a similarly harsh fashion. Tears began to run down her cheeks as she stared into his eyes which had closed bracing for the next few punches to make impact with him.

The toll of his troubles would be reached as the next punch flopped against his stomach more like gentle slap and her left hand collapsing beside it. “Please just take it off.” Balling she couldn’t stand for what she had done to the Raikage who still showed know anger or sign of picking a fight with her. She loved fighting but the blows on him didn’t seem right. Slowly her head slid in over his shoulder the sobs of the grown woman now dampening his shirt instead of her cheeks. “Fight me …” she whmpered out defeated. Knelt down now Hana was half sitting in his lap as she continued to ball from the actions she had done to him.

Taking each hit, he'd refused to grunt, cry out, or anything that would admit the pain being administered to his body and head. However, the shot to his gut had caught him by surprise knocking some of his breath away and required a moment or two for him to regain it before taking another few knocks. It was after those hard hits to his stomach that he could feel, Hana's resolve fade away and leave behind nothing but sadness as she began to cry over his shoulder. His sleeve began to dampen from the tears but it hadn't bothered Achilles, this was the planned end result of the day.

He slid down to the ground with her, allowing her to relieve the sadness within, as it was a better expression then drinking to drown out the sadness. He smiled, it was a sad smile, but it was a smile, as he had finally broken her down to a base level, where he needed her to be. Now he needed to build her back up, and help her through detox, which would be painful. But thanks to their Shinobi Metabolisms, should only be through the night and next day. After which she should be fine.

Standing up, he reached underneath Hana's legs and underneath her upper torso in a way that her neck and head were supported by his bicep. "Of course the bedroom would be upstairs." Achilles sighed as he carefully began to walk the staircase, and the second door on the left, cautiously pushed the door open with his foot. Not sure, whether Hana had just exhausted herself, or had fallen asleep from the long day, he'd put her down on his soft bed, gently of course. And carefully considered his options, "Really, she is pretty much half naked...."

Giving her a careful look he noticed, she hadn't taken her boots off when they came in, "She must have been too frustrated, ugh...way to be a good guy, Raiki." Kneeling down by the bed, he carefully unzipped and pulled the boots off. After doing so, he pulled the comforter which had already been pulled away, over her and made his way down stairs placing the boots by the door next to his.

Looking at his wall, the clock was ticking had shown it was already 11:24 P.M. shaking his head, he hadn't realized it'd gotten so late, so quick. Stretching sorely, he made his way to his living room, which was in a doorway down the hallway he had been shot down, and after relieving himself of a shirt and his pants flopped down onto the couch where a thin blanket lay, "Day one." Achilles sighed as he allowed his eyes to fall down clamping shut as he drifted off into dreams.

She wiped her eyes against the cloth covering his shoulders as she allowed herself to break down emotionally before the Raikage something that she had never intended when the day began. It couldn’t be helped though she had no method of predicting the events of the day especially that she would find herself stuck in the Kage’s house who was on a mission to making her go cold turkey upon alcoholic beverages. She did nothing but sit there her body resting against his completely ill prepared for the time which she was going to be experiencing over the next day or two. She hadn’t gone much more than a hour without a bottle let alone a day. So this withdrawal was going to be relatively harsh on her , luckily being as high ranking a shinobi as she was it wouldn’t take a week to wean her off unlike most.

As she was lifted up her face resting against his bicep her eyes would stay close with tears still raging down her cheeks like a steady river. The repetitive line of ‘fight me,’ had also stop whispering through her lips, She looked up slightly eyes finally opening as she looked up to him unsure why he would bother wasting time on someone as mislead as herself. Sniffling as they she was walked up the stairs she squinted at him, She heard everything that he said weakly, “Why risk yourself like that just for an outcast like me. No one in town would care that I am gone. An I could have killed you with the opening you left.” She closed her eyes feeling the soft bed press snugly against her chest.

She closed her eyes now beginning to find herself fall asleep even before he could speak up again. She wasn’t snoring but the little bi of wind from her nose could be heard. She was dressed in the usual attire so she would look mostly naked in his bed over top of his bed. Her legs were limp since she managed to get some sleep finally without a gallon of alcohol in her system to do it.
The boots would slip off her feet with ease as she began to roughest night she was going to have to live through. She shiver and tossed slightly in the bed and would continue to dose off.

The next beautiful day!
8:35 A.M.

Groaning at his discomfort from sleeping on the couch, he rolled over, as he was so used to doing in his large comfortable bed. Instead of finding the cooler side of his bed to relax him into a deeper sleep, he found the floor, with his face. After grumbling some less than clean words to himself, he tossed the clothes he had in the floor in the laundry room, which was on the other side of the hallway from his doorway. Of course he smacked his forehead after looking at the dented wall, slowly remembering more and more of yesterday.

Making his way to the kitchen he turned the oven on to heat some pre-prepared, food from last night, so that when he woke, Hana he could work on making her feel better. He was pretty sure, she had a miserable night, and he wanted to make the morning as easy as he could on her. Making his way up the stairs, he popped into his room as quietly as last night when he brought Hana in and began to rummage through his closet grabbing a pair of sweat pants and pulled them on. The last thing he wanted to do was wake up, a beautiful Kunoichi while he was pretty much naked.

Grabbing a black cut off as well, he slid it on, and walked over to the bed to which he knelled down by her head, and placed a hand against her forehead. She was sweating pretty bad, and she felt very hot, but she was still out for the moment, so instead of harshly waking her, just to make her realize how shitty she felt he would wait. Walking over to the corner of his bed room he sat down on his lounging chair, and grabbed the pen and notebook from the corner table next to it. Tapping the pen on his lip for a bit while thinking he began jotting down the next chapter in his Novel.

Hana’s body began the healing process over the night which was neither fun or pleasant of have witness.  To exhausted and miserable to ever stand up and walk she lied there shivering in the Raikage’s bed for the better part of  four hours Even while she slept she couldn’t find any piece in her dreams. Tossing and turning she had would have entangled herself like a caterpillar in a cocoon if she hadn’t been tucked in so snugly.  As he walked she continued to stay sound asleep although a groan of displeasure could be heard from the sleeping Anbu captain. As she wasn’t awoken from the creaking of the closet or the Raikage changing into more comfortable clothes she continued to sleep as the poison that had been circulating in her body for so long began the long detoxification process.

The only dream that went through her mind as she slept unpleasantly was the samed repeated memory of a sparring match she had done with her father when she was five. Moments like that were not easily forgotten especially by a father who enjoyed beating his child as much as he had enjoyed training. Each blow from her father reminding her of what she had done the night before to the Raikage causing her to cry even more while whimpering out a few words now, “No, stop please. I don’t want to train anymore.” She sounded exhausted and pained while speaking as it was followed up by another enlightening note that the Raikage probably would want to know. “Stop please daddy you are going to break my arms.” She tossed and turned now a bit violently as the Raikage would have planted himself in the corner of the room.

Having already had her head checked for the fever, sweating from the withdraw her body would be sweating profusely from the long night. Crying out she finally found herself waking up out of the nightmarish memory. Her face dripped with sweat and her eyes were bloodshot as she looked over to the man in the corner who was her host and doctor for the moment. She could feel how sick she was and wouldn’t need any mention from the Raikage she knew she had a problem but was to proud to admit it and now she was feeling the after affects of it. Her eyes scanned over him making a mental note that this was in fact real and the Raikage had been starting the process of weaning her off drinks. Teeth chattering as she spoke to him she asked, “What are you writing about?” She wasn’t angry except at herself and she was curious more for the moment of distracting herself from the situation she was finding herself. in.

Watching his pen tap against his lips she let out another unpleasant groan as her body was all out of whack. This was the worst type of feeling she had ever experienced and she thought that she had gone through a few doozy’s as it was. As she began to push off the covers she curled up tighter feeling every muscle in her body aching as bad as she was. She felt like she had the symptoms of three diseases, the sore throat of a cold, simple migraine and a burning fever which she hadn’t experienced which she hadn’t had in a very long time. Probably her high metabolism and alcohol concentration which burned through them.

Achilles' lips had curved up into a smile as he thought of the next bit of his story jotting it down rather quickly, however he was caught off guard by the sudden movement of his charge. He had heard a few bits and pieces of mumbling coming from her lips, just a few minutes prior, but hadn't been putting too much thought into them, deciding it was more something that needed to be discussed when she was feeling better.

A few moments after she had started to move, she finally spoke, something which he wasn't expecting yet, and she sounded just as well as he had thought she would, closing his notebook he placed it down onto the table. "Tell ya what, after ya get better, I'll let you read it first, eh?" Knowing the girl was a girl person he had hoped that would be a good enough answer for now, as he had other things to do now then explain that book to her.

He smiled as he stood back up and begun to walk back towards the door which exited the room, "I'll be right back, your breakfast should be about done." He had to admit it wasn't much of a breakfast but, it was what she needed at the moment. The hot, Ramen and it's broth should help with her though, and the food should help with some of her migraine getting some protein in her body. What she wouldn't likely care for, would be the drinks he'd be bringing back.

She's probably prefer or be used to drinking sake as a wake up call, so the fact he was simply bringing a glass of water and a pitcher with which to refill probably wouldn't be taken so kindly upon. It only took him a moment to pour the ramen into a rather large bowl and put it on the tray along with the water he removed from his fridge.

Moving quickly, he made his way back up the stairs hands, now full with the bed tray that held a bowl of Ramen, chopsticks, a glass, and a pitcher of water. He had felt a bit strange about going to such lengths however, and if it were viewed by anyone else, they would assume the situation was much more intimate then it really was at the moment. "Geez, this would look quite embarrassing. Thank god for that seal on the house."

Hana’s groggy state was not in the mood for over thinking the hidden phrases and thoughts that were put into his gestures this morning and wouldn’t care less. Still sweating like a swine she howled a bit in response, “Maybe I will after a dri-” She stopped remembering why she was suffering so. She couldn’t have another drink not now or for the next few days otherwise she was most likely going to continue back down the path of self destruction which she started years ago. Her body's reaction to the lost of the toxin that plagued her mind and kidney’s slowly was working it’s way through her system as she crumpled upon herself.

She would lie there in his bed still defeated from their short fight yesterday, no one had really beaten her before in her life. the face that he did it without a punch only made it more shocking to her. How did you let this happen Hana? Next thing you know you will be letting him pick out the clothes you wear. What happened to you … You had every right to beat him into a bloody pulp yesterday. And yet I didn’t instead I broke down … I don’t deserve to be Anbu Captain. The village was right for not even looking over my application to be Raikage. Rolling over she turned so she would be facing away from the doorway when he returned with the he had mention. The scene of the two highest ranking officials of Kumo was not a scene that she wanted leaked to the press.

Lyin in the bed she heard the footsteps and a the bowls clinking with the chopsticks upon a tray. As he came in she would continue to sit in there staring off toward the wall away from him unwilling to turn to face her Raikage. “I’m not hungry.” She groaned face obviously less than pleased of the state she was in. No one liked being stuck in this state one far to emotionally exposed for her taste. It may have been a bit petty after everything he was doing for her but she really didn't want him to see how pitiful she was now.

After making his way into the room, and offering the food to Hana, she promptly denied it, to which, at first Achilles was a bit downed. He was just trying to help, and he knew she needed the food or would very soon, so as he was about to leave and put the food away he heard a sound. Turning he heard it again, it was faint low growling, but not from him or anything else. It appeared to be coming from the stomach of one ANBU Captain.

Smiling a bit knowingly at this point as her body gave her martyrdom up, he walked back over closer to her, laying the tray gently down on her lap. After doing so, he'd grab the pitcher and glass pouring her something to drink, he had to imagine her throat was pretty dry and barren at the moment. "After you eat, you can go shower if you'd like. I'm going to go grab a few towels and place them in the bathroom if you need them." He pointed towards the door on the other side of the room, opposite his closet, but adjacent to the wall that held the exit door.

Not waiting for her response he immediately started to head towards the bathroom where he pulled two towels down and draped them both over his shower curtain before heading back to his bedroom. From there he simply went back over to his chair picking up his notebook and pen, returning to what he was doing before, Hana woke up.

Although she denied his offer her body growled out against her decision making it obvious that she wasn’t going to be able to keep fighting the sensations and pleas that it was issuing. Achilles had the better sense to deny her the pleasure of starving herself out as the tray was planted on her lap. Rolling her head up so now it was tilted up looking at the bowl she frowned. She didn’t feel like fighting him, she didn’t want it on the record that she had lost two fights against the Raikage was bad for a girl reputation. Her arms acting like to support beams quickly clasped onto the side of the bed as she pulled herself up so her back was now up against the wall or headboard of the bed.

Looking down she scanned the bowl of ramen, eyeing him with a sickly gaze she watched as he placed more towels inside the bathroom which he had pointed to. Making a note of the layout of the room she sighed hands reached down to grasp onto the chopsticks that were on the tray. “Is this just the food from last night reheated?” She questioned vaguely remembering what all had happen last night. Remembered a drink and then being exceptionally mad about something. Her eyes drooped down to see the seal. Oh right I remember what happened. She grumbled inching the bowl and water on the tray closer to herself and slowly at this bowl. A sure sign that Hana was feeling sick as food normally didn’t last that long when in her presence.

Feeling her throat aches she raised her arm up to cover up a cough. Her eyes were drooping with dark baggies under them as she watched the kage sit back down in his corner to write on his novel. She began to slurp up the noodles till the bowl was finished. Her metabolism was quite good as it had already gotten the large amount of the liquor out of her system through sweat. Feeling the need to make a joke she laughed still looking ill. “I must say I didn’t expect the interview to be like this. And I definitely didn’t think it would be setting me up on future dates with the Kage.” It sounded jokingly but in all honesty she respected him. Not many people would have stood up to her the way he did and not end up being on the ground beaten to a pulp. “Do this often with the girls.” She said now one hand gripping the glass and finishing it off.

As he started to write, he hadn't even looked up while he replied to her earlier question which had for some reason just now registered to him, "Yes, that is last night's reheated, I started it on the stove, before I came up here initially." He smiled to himself, as he heard the sounds of the noodles being eaten, it was good when things finally decided to go in a positive way for once. Made his life easier, and it kept him from getting hit anymore, speaking of which, 'Damn my ribs are sore.' Leaning back to stretch and try and get some relief for the soreness he now felt in his gut, he looked over to see her gulping down the water.

Listening as Hana made her small joke, the Raikage couldn't help but chuckle as well, as turn a bit red, "Well that's all up to you, I just wanted to get you better, the fact you agreed to go out on a date with me, was just a happy coincidence." He gave her a moment to think of what he said before adding, "One I would gladly take a few punches and ribs for again." Now his face had turned very red at her latest accusation of course this time it was a joke.

After sputtering out some incoherent words, he finally came up with a good response, "Only when they're my beautiful ANBU Captain." His face was beginning to turn the same color of crimson as the notebook in which he was furiously writing in at this point. He definitely wasn't use to talking to girls in such a flirting manner, sure he'd tried a few times in the best, but it never really went well for him. Of course, usually it was in apologetic form after some totally not on purpose accidental peeping.

Slowly her eyes would open back up to catch the red glow in his cheeks return reminding her of the other parts of yesterday. A smile spread across her face despite being pained by the withdraw and partial betrayal she actually was finding him to be quite the gentlemen. “Yeah agreeing to go with you was regrettable at the time. I doubt I would be in this situation if I had just left back to my house. Or did you intend to bring me here by force she laughed.” Knowing full well that neither of them would have risked a fight in Kumo one thing they both held in the highest respect was the protection of their city and the two of them needed to be on the same page in order to do that.

She waited a while before she would answer the remarks of the date giving a tired laugh at his compliment that he overemphasized. “You shouldn’t flatter me so much sir. I doubt the city would enjoy seeing their new leader fall in love with the town drunk.” The smile on her face disappeared as she referred to herself in the way that the others regarded her. “Maybe the next date will go a bit better than this one.” As she said it she would slide the tray to the side so it was now on the left side of the bed. She began making her way up to a standing position still a bit uneasy as her body wasn’t quite prepared with quick sudden movements. Catching herself she took a couple of deep breaths. “I think I will take that shower now.”

Listening to how Hana spoke of what she had wished she had done, prior to accepting the date and following him to his house he couldn't help but blush again, "Well, I would have figured something out. I'm pretty stubborn." He was referring to her question about bringing her to his home by force, which of course just sounded wrong, but he hadn't planned for that outcome. Achilles had a pretty good feeling that he would be able to bring her with him, to his house, he had much of what happened the day before planned.

Seeing the smile on her face fade as she insulted herself, Achilles decided he was going for it he didn't care at this point what anyone else thought of him. Pushing himself off the chair he was so comfortable in leaving his notebook and pen on the table to walked slowly to Hana. As she started to fall over herself a bit, Achilles was quick to react, catching her hand with his, and his other hand catching her with his hand gently on her side.

They now found themselves at extremely close proximity, maybe a foot away face to face, but even then, Achilles stepped a bit closer. "Ya know if last night is anything to go by, that means you're not the town drunk anymore." He smiled as they were now simply a few inches away from each other, waiting to see how she would react to a situation that had escalated so quickly and in such a nice direction.

Hearing him mention that he was stubborn caused her to laugh, and here I thought I was the only stubborn person in Kumo. Mostly in a joking manner but she was one of the type to generally let someone beat her. She didn’t even notice the Raikage stand up when she began to fall over do to a failure in muscle memory. There she was her chest inches away from his and they way she had fall she was no looking face to face as opposed to her usual towering viewpoint.

Blinking her sickly eyes looked quickly turned to one of embarrassment as she stared into the face of the Raikage. The smile that now came across to her as enjoy the fact that she was in such close proximity with him. It was her turn to be flushed with embarrassment this time certain to stay as long as he was still holding partially supporting her with his hands and body. As he inched in closer she wanted to say something nice and all she could think was. “Um.” She sat there shocked and unable to speak she would have been lying if she didn’t enjoy the touch of him but she wasn’t particularly great when it came to expressing her feelings least of all to her boss as it was.

Taking the lack of refusal or movement away from him, as an okay, he shyly closed the gap between the two, softly pushing his lips against hers. It'd been a long time since he had kissed a girl, so he wasn't all that familiar or comfortable with what to do. Except for the fact, that he liked the way it felt, and it made his whole body heat up to temperatures he could literally feel radiate off his body. By this point he had moved his other hand off hers and moved it to her other side, so that he was now holding her from both sides, and well now attached to her through the kiss.

After a full five or so seconds of what had to have been one of the most awkward kisses of all time, Achilles began to pull his face away. His face had grew redder of course, yet he also held a large grin on his face, feeling very pleased with the way, things had gone so far. And he couldn't help but want to keep his hands on the waist of the very beautiful girl he'd just kissed.
