Yui had heard of quite the strong shinobi had entered the village the name was  Ryuzoji and he was from formerly of Kumo. He seemed to be welcomes by Suzume but Yui never trusted a single person she had asked to be assigned to guide him or basically watch over him. She had her squad ready if anything did happen but for now she would not appear to be hostile last thing she needed was to spark some sort of war. She made her way to his location moving to make her way in front of him before leaping off one of the roofs landing nearby him and smiling.

"Hello Ryuzoji the name is Inuzuka Yui and I am to be your guide... well to be more frank just to be with you to make sure you stay out of trouble. I admit my Kage trusts you however I am far less trusting due to various events before she took office. I wont be in your way just enjoy some chat time with me this is my canine Sekkia she wont hurt you as long as you don't get aggressive toward me."

She smiled as she looked over the man he certainly looked strong and he had a interesting scent a person well traveled if she had to guess. Sekkia stared at the man not showing any aggression just a look of curiosity.

"He does not seem to be any trouble Yui I do not get any bad intentions from him."

Yui nodded she did not feel in danger near him as she lowered her guard slightly moving to his side and offering her hand. She wanted to show she meant no harm and she was not mean just really cautious toward strangers.

"So I guess you may or may not know... but I was the Kage here but I just did not like the job to many demands and not enough nap time. I mean I love protecting my village but that job was very stressful and I hated the politics of it as I tend to be one that likes action to words."

WC: 365

Bokuden stood on the street corner as requested, arms folded in front of his chest as he awaited this mystery person he was told was coming. Under normal circumstances he would scoff at the idea of needing a “guide” to get around, but when the request comes directly from the kage’s office it was often the smart choice to simply go along with it. If this village had any intelligence on the Village Hidden in the Clouds at all, it was not a mystery why the village would take special interest in his presence there, especially showing up unannounced with unknown intentions. He already figured this “guide” was really more of just a way for them to keep an eye on him without simply spying on them. Perhaps they hoped that by offering him a friendly welcome they could get information out of him. It was of little consequence. He had no intentions of causing problems for the village, he understood his position well enough. Even if he was no longer directly associated with Kumogakure, this was a political situation as well as a security threat.

Before long a young woman would leap down from the rooftops, landing in front of him alongside a rather large canine. His thoughts immediately went to the appearance of the woman; a pretty face and well-shaped body, made rather obvious by the skin tight black body suit she wore. “Well, they sure know how to welcome a man. I’ll give them that,” he thought to himself as he accepted her outstretched hand and shook it firmly, still cognizant of the fact that she was a representative of the village. “The pleasure is all mine,” he said as he returned a smile, “I have to be honest and say that I never really intended to go sight-seeing in Sunagakure, but who am I to turn down an offer from the beautiful former kazekage. Who better to show me the best the village has to offer?”

She shook his hand it was a firm good handshake she smiled as she let go he was rather strong she could tell that much from his grip alone. As for the best places she was not sure what he liked but she knew of some really good bars to drink at, she often had been seen in these places drinking her day away. She looked down at Sekkiea grinning maybe she could get him drunk and make him talk about his plans in her village it was a civil way to find out information.

"Well do you like to drink I know of some very good establishments some that wont mention your deeds for the right price when inside the place. I mean if you are into prostitutes or other unique endeavors. If you don't want that place we have the hot-springs which are fantastic I must say or my secret swimming hole that only I know of."

She waited for him to reply as she had a playful look on her face she was not what people expected of a former Kage but she enjoying giving off the aura of not being anything to fear. This was one of her ricks to disarm anyone thinking she might be strong it tends to have others open up and worked for years for her.

"I know you likely are thinking this cannot be a former Kage I get that a lot I am what you call free spirited that's why I was a bad Kage in the first place. I admit I should never have lead the village but we had just lost our Kage and I was the best replacement at the time."

Sekkiea looked at Yui giving a simple look of disapproval causing Yui to laugh some. She knew Sekkiea hated when she played with people like this and she also disliked when Yui was flirting even if he might not notice Sekkiea knew her very well.


WC:338

“As far as the prostitutes go, or anything of the sort… no, that is not what I’m into,” he replied skeptically, raising an eyebrow in suspicion of the woman before him, “I also didn’t plan to do much swimming in the middle of the desert, so I’m afraid I don’t have a bathing suit to use.” That moment was as sure a sign as any that Bokuden had grown up, or at least that there was something distinctly different about his behavior from even a few months prior. There was a time in the not too distant past when he would have jumped at the invitation of the seductive woman before him, not thinking twice about taking advantage of the opportunity to make a move on her. If she intended to show him the bright spots of the Village Hidden in the Sand, why not sample the former Kazekage as well? The overtly sexual theme of her suggestions and her playful disposition didn’t exactly work to dissuade the idea.

He looked over to the canine, Sekkiea, whose face did not share the same playful look, but one of disapproval. The color of their fur was different, but she reminded him of his own partner Sayomi who he had left behind in Kumo to live her own life. His eyes would meet with the canine’s and he’d give her a reassuring nod, both parties understanding what was going on in this situation. “I know more about not being a suitable kage then you probably think I do,” he said as he turned his attention back to Yui, “I didn’t really expect to be propositioned for that kind of a tour of the village, but I could probably use a drink. Of course it wouldn’t hurt to have you as a drinking partner if you’re willing.”

She laughed at his response to prostitutes so he must have had a lady friend she was pretty sure of that fact. He also declined further proving he likely had someone he was with that was to bad he looked like fun causing her to frown slightly before smiling again. She playfully leaped to his other side as he mentioned drinking was fine she began to move quickly motioning for him to follow her path. When he mentioned knowing about being a Kage she smiled so that was the vibe she got he could very likely be a former Kage.

"So... you gave me a odd vibe when I met you but I might have figured it out were you a former Kage. You seem to have a lot more strength then you lead on you have, I mean pure speculation of course."

She waited for his answer as she quickly began to head to her favorite location her hand slightly moving to wave her squad to stay back but in range in case anything happened. It was not a long trip about five minutes and they were at the stinky clasp one of the more rambunctious bars in the village.

"This is the place it can be a bit crazy in there but they are pretty friendly to outsiders. I figured I should take you to places that might not hate outsiders many in this village feel that we should be isolationists and I would rather not deal with that trouble."

She walked inside as several did teasing cat calls to her before laughing it was clear Yui was well liked her as a few came and hugged her. Almost right away she had three drinks bought for her she was one that had the underbelly of the village under her control. Some would even say she controlled the underworld but she did not go against her Kage merely made sure things stayed civil.

"I sort of run the underground of the village here, I keep things out like child labor but allow things like prostitution as long as they are wanting to do the deed and are adults naturally. I also allow some goods deemed bad and banned to make its way inside the village if it does not harm the village we have some old fashioned leaders in this village."

WC:402

This woman certainly was energetic, he’d give her that. When he responded to her invitation to find a place to get drinks she moved over to him happily, smiling and beckoning him to follow her. He found her words particularly interesting though; a former kage? It was amusing to hear since she was not far off the mark. “A former kage?” he repeated, an amused smirk curling onto his lips at the thought, “You’re closer than most people would guess. But no, I was not a kage at any point. I made that decision purposefully. I’m sure you are aware of the assassination of the most recent Raikage, Reika Misora. In the aftermath, the village elders approached me and informed me that I was the shinobi selected as the next in line to don the robes of the lightning shadow. It was an honor. One I’m sure most people would jump out without a second thought. That’s probably they were so upset when I told them I wasn’t interested. There was probably a time when I would have said yes, ready to defend my home with pride, but that time has long since passed. There should be more that makes one a kage than power alone. The fervor I had to defend that place no longer exists. That village is no longer my home, although I’d be lying if I said I didn’t still feel some connection to the place I grew up. I suppose I’m not as noble as you are, miss Yui. But all this talking is making me thirsty. Are we still getting that drink?”

As she began to move off, leading him in the direction they were headed he would notice the subtle, intentional motion of her hand, as if signaling to a secret on looker. He smirked as he immediately recognized that he was now being observed by more than just the woman before him and her companion. His time as an ANBU captain and his hawk like eyes made such subtle familiarities glaringly obvious to him, even if they were intended to be inconspicuous.

~

The immediate reaction of the bar patrons to Yui’s arrival immediately alerted Bokuden to the fact that she was not just anybody in this circle of people. That hunch was only confirmed as she began to explain her position as something of a queen pin in the Sunagakure underground. “Now that is interesting to hear,” he replied teasingly, allowing an amused huff to escape as he retained eye contact with his “guide”, “That certainly explains the reception you got when you walked into the bar, although it only creates more questions. I’d be inclined to ask what exactly you allow and disallow before I decide how I feel about this, but you don’t strike me as the type I need to worry about. But tell me, is the squad of men that have been following us since you picked me up more of your underground soldiers? They seem a bit too coordinated in their movements to be that. Also, is one of those for me, or do I need to find out for myself how to get a drink around here?”

---

She listened to him mention it was interesting how everyone followed her orders even in the underground that was when he mentioned the men causing her to smile. He also mentioned he was offered Kage and turned it down maybe he loved her there was no reason to turn it down. She would not dig to deep about that but she also noticed something else she could smell blood on him wounds and recent ones at that. She moved to get closer to him moving her hand down to his side but not touching him yet."

"I see you are injured and recently was it something to do with the assassination of the former Kage. You tried to protect her didn't you... she died and you blame yourself for what happened. I could be wrong but maybe you even loved her I wont dig to much but I know the pain of losing a loved one all to well. The Kaguya coup we had here cost me the one I loved and I still think about her every single day."

She used some slight chakra to scan his body he had injuries but nothing life threatening. She wondered if he would allow her to bandage him properly sure he was bandaged but not very well compared to her skills as a medical shinobi.

"I could bandage the wounds I happen to be a medical shinobi among my other talents, unless you like having dirty bandages on I can smell the blood strongly on you."

She waited to see if he would be willing to go with her to fix his bandages, he certainly needed them changed it bothered her the scent of blood on him. One side effect of an Inuzuka was the extra sense of smell they had it was a blessing and curse. She motioned for him to follow if he wanted the wounds treated she had a room in the back that was hers and she had supplies for injuries inside she often did free clinics for villagers needing medical attention.

"Oh yeah your question those men following are part of my special ops squad I happen to lead the special ops here in suna as well."

WC:380

Bokuden would let out an amused huff at Yui’s guess that he was in love with Reika and had suffered his injury trying to protect her, now blaming himself for being unable to save her. “Not exactly,” he said with a smirk, “Reika was my kage to me, and nothing more. Although I’m surprised that you can tell that I’m injured. Well, you are an Inuzuka. I suppose that you could smell the blood, am I correct? I have a bit of medical training myself, but the severity of the wound was beyond my healing capabilities. Alongside the fact that I generally stay clear of hospitals, injury has been quite slow to fully heal. I obtained the wounds during a fight of a much more… personal matter. I did lose someone very close to my heart, but that’s not a story that we need to get into. Thank you for your concern though.”

He hesitated at her offer to treat and dress his wounds. On one hand, he was a naturally skeptic person, and like a wounded animal he was wary of allowing anyone close to him while he was in that state. On the other hand, since he had no intention of going to an actual hospital and his own mediocre medical knowledge had proved to be… less than adequate to healing the wound by now, even through his skepticism he had to acknowledge that having it looked at by someone who really knew what they were doing would be beneficial to him. Her alleged status as head of the village’s special ops division only made him more wary, but would Suzume send this woman after him with Malicious intent? From what Misoka had told him, Suzume was a friend, someone that they could trust. He trusted Misoka… should he trust her judgment in other people as well.

He shifted his gaze down to his left side where the wound was hidden under his clothing and then back to the woman who had moved closer to him, her hand hovering over his injury. He understood the risks, but he decided that he would have faith in the people that Misoka seemed to trust. “Some help with the wound would actually be very welcome,” he began with a smile, “Travelling with it proved to be rather unpleasant. If I could get a professional look at it, it might do me some good.”

She listened to his story so it was not the Kage but someone else he fought for that still felt oddly familiar as for a brief moment her eyes looked sad before smiling once more. As for his reaction he seemed really cautious about letting her treat the wound she guessed it was due to mentioning she was in charge of the special forces in Suna. She motioned for him to follow it was hard to clean them up in the open as she made her way to the room she began to pull the supplies out. She first grabbed the bandages along with things to clean his wounds.

"You really should come in here it is not sanitary to clean inside the bar, plus all of my supplies are in here."

Sekkiea waited by Yui's supply she really did want to check him out and move her hands along his wounds. She had to admit it had been a while since she past had much physical contact with anyone. She was not after that though she just wanted to tease the crap out of him maybe to make his day brighter. Still she had the thought on her mind of Jojo as her eyes teared for a brief moment before she wiped them away she had to be strong now. The loss of Jojo was a major reason Yui became a drinker and neglected her duties as the Kage.

WC:244

He followed her cautiously out of the main area of the bar and to a smaller room in the back of the bar where she seemed to have medical supplies prepared. He would glance over his shoulder before following her in, checking to see if anyone else had made any suspicious movements or followed them out of the bar’s main area. Despite her seemingly friendly invitations, Yui was still a dangerous person after all. While he didn’t particularly fear her nor any of her potential accomplices, he knew that he would be unable to fight at full strength as long as the wound on his side still ailed him.

At her invitation he would finally enter the room, closing the door behind him and he scanned the room once more. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, he allowed himself to relax slightly, letting out a sigh before speaking, “Thank you again for offering to do this. I didn’t mean for my company to be such a burden on you. Somehow I don’t think that treating the wounds of a complete stranger who you yourself admitted to not trusting was on your list of things you’d like to do today.” With that said he would begin getting partially undressed in order to grant her access to his injury. After removing his jacket and shirt he would unravel the bandages wrapped around his ribs, revealing a large section of scarred, wounded flesh; one deep sword slash across his side and a stabbing wound that entered one side of his body and had went out the other. They were not bleeding really, nor were they festering. The wounds were well cleaned, but simply were too deep to be healed completely without professional medical attention.

---

1894~

She could hear his suspicion in his voice she would likely not trust anyone either but what choice did he have as he removed her shirt she began to take a look at the wounds. He certainly was in an intense battle one it looks like he barely escaped alive from. She began to scan his body a blue glow surrounding her hands as he would feel some of the deeper cuts closing up. She moved her hands over his abs as she ran her finger up and down them before moving to his side and finishing up closing her eyes and sighing in relief.

"The wounds are closed now still might want to bandage them for a few days just to make sure but they should stay closed barring any crazy battles. I know it seems odd that I healed you but I guess the feeling of losing a loved one like yourself made me feel for you. I know the feeling very well but that's not a fun topic I am just glad you seem healed and strong so I guess you can get your shirt back on... unless you wan to have other fun."

She said that laughing but she was semi serious she knew he would refuse but it was fun teasing him over and over. She wondered how deep those emotional scars of his were, could they match her own a valley of sorrow so dark it almost took her soul with it. The fact she couldn't save the one she swore to protect crushed her that feeling of being helpless as the one you loved died sacrificing herself to save you. Her face held a solemn look it was something she could never forgive herself. Even with Jojo saying it was fine they won the war she held the one in her hands she loved and watched her die unable to save her. Tears entered her eyes again as she tried to look away from him but this was something she still felt a lot of sorrow for, the pain of failure and the pain of losing the one you love.

"Did... you lose the one you love to being unable to protect her... I did holding her dying in my arms as she sacrificed her life using a forbidden jutsu to kill the other Kaguya off. It was a bloody battle and she died to save me no amount of medical jutsu I used on her worked because she chose to die."


WC:427

He felt a cool sensation wash over his wounds as her hand, coated in blue chakra, moved across his side, immediately beginning to close the wounds. This was nothing like his mediocre attempts at sealing his own wounds. He could feel the pain and discomfort of his previously exposed, raw wounds begin to fade away as the deep cuts he suffered seemed to matter less and less. It appeared that his body’s natural resistance to healing chakra however, would make it a difficult job even for Yui as the wounds were still not completely closed, but they were much better off than before. “Thank you for this, Miss Yui,” he replied with a smile at her proposition of ‘other fun’, “I’ll be sure to re-bandage them when I get back to the hotel. I don’t want to bother you anymore than I already have by reopening my wounds again. You’ve done more than enough.” He raised an eyebrow at the Inuzuka as she began to run a finger up and down along the tones of his abdominals, wondering what she was playing at. “Hmph,” he mused with a grin, choosing to play along with whatever game she was playing for now, “What kind of fun did you have in mind?”

His expression would change to one of concern as he noticed tears begin to well up in her eyes, coinciding with her now expanding on the circumstances surrounding the loss of her loved one. Under normal circumstances he would be nothing but wary of such a drastic change in behavior, but he sensed no malice or deceit from her. His eyes would soften from their usual stern expression as hers filled with pain and tears. As she turned to look away from him he would place his left hand on her cheek and slowly turn her back to face him once again. “It’s fine,” Bokuden would say reassuringly, using his thumb to wipe away a stray tear that fell against her will, “Why look away? You don’t have anything to be ashamed of. That feeling of losing the ones you care for and feeling powerless to do anything about it is the story of my life. I understand, more than you probably think. I won’t tell you not to blame yourself. I know from personal experience that won’t do a thing, but you can’t let it dominate your life. I did… for far too long. Do you think she would be happy seeing you beat yourself up over her decision? She made that sacrifice for you, so that you can live on. If you want to do something about her death, give it meaning. Be worthy of her sacrifice. Don’t squander her love by treating it like a burden. Wear it proudly, not with tears.”

She did not hear much about his response to the game as she felt his finger slide along her face before she turned blushing and looking into his eyes. He was right but that did not make her feel any better it felt like she let part of her soul die that day and had not recovered to this day. He was right as she tried to smile it felt like a heavy smile she could not be happy so fast after thinking about her. She took a deep breath before turning to him smiling and stepping back she felt embarrassed to cry in front of him she was a former Kage expected to withstand any pain but it was difficult.

"Sorry about that little outburst, it is just hard to remember those times the village had such trouble. I thank you for reminding me she would certainly have wanted me to live happy but no one has killed that hole yet and I cannot heal the wound myself. As for the other fun its naughty I am sure you would not be interested especially with an emotional wreck like myself."

She laughed hard as Sekkiea looked worried but calm she had seen Yui go on really bad binges after things like this reminded her of Jojo and it was always bad. Bar fights unprotected sex and many other things it was not fun for her to witness Yui fall like that.

"Yui maybe you two should hand out, I think that would be a good idea and I feel you would be okay around him."

Sekkiea motioned for the man to get close as she would whisper into his ear when close by. "If you would not mind just hanging with her for the night whenever she remembers her she binges and does really bad choices I don't like having to deal with those repercussions."


WC:325

Bokuden’s reassuring smile would curl into a frown as Yui spoke about a wound that she could not heal alone and her comment about her being an emotional wreck. Her laugh was not contagious. He and Sekkiea instead would look at her with concern, glancing over at each other to see that they shared the sentiment before returning their gazes to Yui. The self-deprecating humor, the forced laugh, the casual attempts to brush off the problem with bravado and humor; Bokuden was more than familiar with this kind of behavior. He had seen it before. He had lived it before.

Sekkiea would be the first to break the silence that fell over the room once Yui had finished her laugh, suggesting that Yui and Bokuden continue to spend time together that night. Immediately after, the canine would motion with her head for Bokuden to come close to her, to which he obliged without hesitation. What she whispered in his ear only confirmed the concerns he had before about her attempting to shrug off her feelings, pretending that she could simply laugh through them. Yui was an Inuzuka, meaning that her canine companion was more than just a partner, they were practically family. He understood the connection a little bit. He had a similar relationship with Sayomi. The concern in Sekkiea’s voice made him wonder if he had ever driven Sayomi to do something similar with his behavior. Either way, he certainly wasn’t able to say no to her request.

He gave as he stood back up, having leaned forward for Sekkiea to speak into his ear, he threw her a nod of confirmation, saying nothing more than, “Understood.” After that he would immediately turn back to Yui and smile, making sure not to show the same concern as Sekkiea to hopefully put Yui more at ease with the idea. “Well, I definitely wouldn’t mind hanging out with you a bit more,” he said, “It’s the least I can do after you helped me with my injuries. I don’t think I want to stay in bars though. How about you take me to one of your favorite places in the village. Being the former kage, I’m sure that you know about places in and around the villages that most citizens aren’t even aware of. I don’t know if you still consider me as your “assignment”, but I’m not ready for my tour to be over just yet. But first… maybe I should rebandage my abdomen. I wouldn’t want to soil your work by reapplying bloodied rags. So after that, what do you say?”

In truth, Bokuden made his offer largely to get her away from a bar, to prevent her from binging and trying to drown her pain in alcohol. Allowing her to do so would defeat the purpose of what Sekkiea had warned him she wanted to avoid. He didn’t know if the canine would be remaining with them, but if Yui had a bad history of acting out after thinking too much about the past he wouldn’t blame her if she didn’t trust that Bokuden could keep her from doing so and chose to leave. No one wants to see the people they care about fall into a downward spiral.

She listed to him as he spoke mentioning not wanting to stay in bars maybe he was just not much of a drinker. As for her favorite spots she had several of those but most involved peeping but there was one spot she had good memories of and was a fun place to visit. She heard him mention the bandages as she laughed she had forgotten to bandage the wounds again. She grabbed the bandages and began to tightly wrap them around his body rubbing his abs once again with a teasing tongue sticking out at him.

"I can think of a fun place for both of us in town, hum lets see ah the Bakk Club would be fun its a dance club to release stress and no alcohol allowed. Not sure how good on your toes you are but I am pretty good though if we are going to do that I need to find some clothes to wear for that, these are not the most comfortable for that. Lets head over to my place so I can change, if you need you can take a shower there as well I would not mind."

She waited for his answer as she finished with the bandages she had a smile on her face but it still would be pretty obvious she was still holding the pain inside. She was far to stubborn to completely let it go and she had not found the right person to let it all out at. Still She was offering to let him come to her house quite a bold move considering not much was known about the man but she was certain he was not a danger to her.

"I guess we should head out the place gets pretty busy once it hits late afternoon and we want a spot on the dance floor."

She motioned for him to follow as she left the bar she hugged a few of the guys as she made her way outside nodding to her squad as they would begin to head toward her place no matter what she had to have them with her. If not they would report it to others in the village and she didn't want to deal with that mess of paperwork and scoldings.

WC:389

Before he could reach for the bandages to dress his own wounds, Yui took it upon herself to do so. Carefully she proceeded to wrap the cloth around his body, keeping the bandages taut as to avoid slack in the wrapping, but still not missing the opportunity to run her free hand over his abdominals just as she had done before. He raised an eyebrow at the continuation of her flirty behavior from earlier, saying nothing as he allowed her to tell him about her idea as to where they should head next. The suggestion of a dance club surprised him, especially one that was alcohol free and open at this time of day. It sounded almost as if people actually went there to dance. Sure it had dance in the name, but let’s be honest, most people didn’t go to clubs just to dance. A club like this though, seemed like it was there just for that, which was both strange and refreshing at the same time. Bokuden wasn’t the world’s biggest dance enthusiast, but he could handle himself, and if it would allow Yui to blow off some steam or get more comfortable, so be it.

“Thanks again,” he replied with a playful smirk, rubbing his hand against his newly tied bandages to ensure they were secure, “The dance club sounds fine to me. Something tells me that you’re probably much more of a dancer than I am, but that should only make it more fun. I’ve never heard of a club getting packed in the middle of the day, but I guess that only means that the place is good. We’d better not waste any time then. I doubt I’ll be taking a shower at your place. I don’t have a change of clothes with me and I don’t want to undo the bandages you just put on, but thank you for the offer. Let’s go and get you into something more comfortable.” With that he would follow her out of the bar, patiently letting her say goodbye to her contemporaries before walking with her back to her residence.

She began to head to her place it was not far from this location as she made her way through the area with him behind following before finally making it. The house seemed rather modest for a former Kage but it was more than good enough for her as she opened the door and invited him inside the house seemed almost spotless it was clear she did not stay here much. She made her way toward her room as he would be in the living room area, it had a couch as well as a few minor pieces of furniture. One thing he would notice is she had a lot of medical supplies laying about she took her medical training quite seriously. Sekkiea would move toward where her food was she would be ready to nap she was not going to the club with Yui after all so she had plenty of time to rest. Yui smirked as she pulled her outfit off sliding it onto the floor and grabbing two different outfits before heading back into the living room.

"So... which of these do you think would look best on me... I am having a hard time picking one but I am sure you could think of which one looked best."

She moved closer to him moving to place her hand on his chest her finger trailing down his chest as she waited for his answer. She felt something toward him maybe knowing he had felt the same pain as her she was not sure but she certainly had not been with anyone for a long time and he seemed to be slow with picking up hints she had to be a bit more direct.

"So... which one is best, you help me chose what one to put over my body, or maybe you would like to have other fun first. I assure you I can make you feel things you never have."

She licked hr lips as he would see her body was in very good shape she had perfect measurements and was certainly what one would call sexy. Sekkiea seemed to be sleeping as she was not entering the room the two were alone for the most part.

WC:377

Upon arriving to Yui’s home, everyone seemed to scatter. Sekkiea walked straight past the living room and into a different section of the house, while Yui moved into the opposite direction towards what he could only assume was her bedroom where she intended to get changed before they headed out to the club. Being left alone in the living room of the woman’s house left Bokuden with nothing to do but stand and wait, examining the room around him as he awaited Yui’s return. The house was quaint, not overly luxurious or flashy, but he didn’t figure Yui to be the type of woman to draw satisfaction from material possessions. She struck him as a person that valued interaction and experience more greatly, which he silently admired. There was a good amount of medical supplies scattered around the room, showing that she took pride in her work, but he couldn’t help but notice the empty and almost sterile feel of the home, not unlike a hospital room. It was obvious that she did not spend much time here.

Bokuden’s eyes would widen in surprise when Yui stepped back out of her bedroom in nothing but her underwear, sending his eyes and mind to her focus on her body rather than the situation he found himself in. It was not until she closed the distance between the two and ran a single finger down the center of his chest that he chose to respond. “Well, now that I’ve seen your body I don’t know why I’d want to help you cover it up,” he said teased, a playful grin curling upon his lips as he placed his hands onto the curvature of her hips, “I think I like what you’re wearing now just fine, although I do feel a bit overdressed for the situation. Do you think there’s something we can do about that?”

Bokuden would then aggressively pull her hips into his, pressing their lower bodies firmly against each other. He didn’t know exactly how far Yui intended to push him, but if she wanted to play than he would waste no time in calling her bluff. He always did prefer to be more… hands on in his approach. “But I wonder,” he whispered playfully into her ear, leaning forward into her, “This fun that would make me feel things I’ve never felt before. I’m intrigued. Show me.”

She felt him pull her closer as he pushed his lower part of his body into hers making her get a wide smile. She thought he was with someone but maybe he was just playing ignorant on purpose either way she was interested in this change of his stance. As for his clothing he was right he was overdressed as she proceeded to attempt to take his shirt off, she would slide the shirt open before running her tongue playfully along his chest.

"Well... well I thought you had someone in your life but I guess not so much I do have things I could show you... we could have fun if you want I certainly would not mind."

She waited to see how he would respond as she moved her face close to his her lips moving toward his if he did not resist she would place a kiss on his her hand lightly rubbing his chest as she moved in. She felt alone she felt like maybe for just one day he could make her not feel so lonely. She had really missed Jojo but she also knew maybe she had to move on dwelling in the past would only make her suffer longer.

Bokuden showed no signs of resistance as Yui ran a finger down the center of his shirt, releasing each button along the way.  Just that much wasn’t enough to surprise him, but as he felt her tongue run across the cuts of his muscles he felt a surge of heat rush through his body. This woman wasn’t simply teasing him, was she? This wasn’t what he planned. If he didn’t do something to stop himself soon he didn’t know if he would be able to hold back at all, but between the warm sensation of her tongue on his bare skin and the pressure still being applied by both of their hips, he lost all desire to fight against her advances. “You seem to have a fascination with my chest,” he said with a chuckle as he began moving his hands up and down her sides, caressing her waist and hips, “But that’s ok. Yours is nice as well.”

She spoke a few more enticing words and then began to lean forward into him, drawing her lips closer and closer to his as if to go in for a kiss. He probably should have stopped himself, especially with Sekkiea just in the other room, but his desire at this point had decidedly outweighed his sense of propriety. He would show no signs of resistance as her lips met with his, pulling back from her for just a moment to smile at her before going back in with a kiss of his own. Placing his hands onto her waist and the small of her back he would keep her hips pressed into his as he leaned her back with his kiss. Already worked up from all of the prior teasing however, he would show little restraint in his embrace, kissing her not like two strangers, but lovers enthralled in the throes of passion. He didn’t know what it was about her. Maybe it was the thought of her being as emotionally wounded as he was that made him feel in that moment that the two of them understood what the other needed, companionship, even if it could only be temporary.

After releasing her from his kiss, he would continue to held her leaned back in that position, supporting her with his hand placed on the small of her back. “All I’ve been hearing from you all day was about the fun we could have if I wanted,” he said as he began to work his way with his lips from her lips down to the side of her neck, “I know what I want right now. What do you want?”

She watched as he seemed to be enjoying this a great deal before he went to move and press his lips against hers. He kissed her back softly at first but began to kiss much more passionately as Yui moved and turned him throwing him down onto the floor. She moved to get on top of him as she continued to kiss him her tongue sliding into his throat she certainly seemed to know how to kiss very well. When he asked what she wanted it was clear by her actions she wanted some companionship she was lonely and she wanted some relief from her broken heart. She pulled her mouth away as she smiled at him staring down at his chest as she ran her hand along it.

"I think we both know what I want and what you want, let us not act innocent we both want each other so why not enjoy ourselves for the day."

She moved her lips down his chest and back up to his mouth once again kissing him passionately this was what she wanted. She just needed to heal and find someone else for herself, he was most likely not the one she would be with forever. This one day however she did not care she was happy with being with him, for one day to not feel pain and heartache.

It was only after several hours of intense and violently passionate action that the two shinobi would calm down from their frenzy. With ragged breath and a thick layer of sticky sweat between the two, Bokuden would remain in the position that they had last used, his exposed body over Yui’s, hips still pressing her to the countertop, using his arms to prop himself up and support his own weight as he looked down at his partner. He wondered if he should say something clever or compliment her on how well she performed, but he didn’t really see the need. Both of them knew exactly how hard they had went at it, and they, Bokuden especially, had the marks to show for it. It really would not have been a thought that sat prominently in his mind had he not noticed the small amount of blood that appeared when they began. Was she a virgin? She certainly didn’t seem like one but he didn’t think it his place to ask.

A quick glance at their surroundings would quickly reveal that they had somehow ended their tempest of lust in the kitchen of Yui’s home. Bokuden had known that they moved themselves quite a bit during the act, but he had been so consumed with drowning his pain in Yui’s body that he had not even bothered paying attention to exactly what was going on around them. He felt the sting of the scratch marks all along his back from her nails digging into his skin. It was only now that the act had been done that the sting of the scratches and cuts bothered him. While they were going at it, the pain only seemed to serve as a further boost to the rush of sensation he was feeling with her. That was probably the roughest that he had ever been or been treated “in bed”. Yui was hyper aggressive, and that extra push only served to draw the more animalistic side out of Bokuden. Every time she dug her claws into him or threw him around his actions would only intensify; grabbing her roughly, leaving bite marks around her neck and body, pinning her down in rather aggressive positions, throwing her body around as well leaving them to continuously roll around the house blindly in the throes of passion.

He did however, notice a particularly familiar pain in his side now that they had finished. As he looked down at his side he would see blood now beginning to stain his bandaging. They had reopened the wound that Yui herself had stitched up earlier that day. He would look at her once again, knowing that she would have noticed it as well. Even if she didn’t look at his bandages she surely would have picked up on the scent of blood as she did earlier, even though now there were some more… prominent aromas in the air from what the two of them had spent the last several hours doing. Either way it looked like he would need her to treat his wounds once again before he left, a thought that he couldn’t help but laugh at. Leaning down, he would begin a trail of kisses up exposed chest and around the side of her neck, running his tongue up the side of her neck, even then continuing to play with her as he tasted the sweat that still dripped off of her. Once his lips had reached her ear he would nibble on her ear lobe a bit before whispering into her ear playfully, “Look at what you made me do.”

It had been one hell of a time between the two they went at it in every room of her house just about before finally ending in the kitchen she was very tired and very sore as she had never been with a man before. Still it was a ton of fun and she did for a while feel she could forget her sorrows, even if for a day that was good enough to her. She moved to place another kiss on his lips but she did notice a smell of blood and not just hers it was from his wound as she looked down laughing a bit. She did tell him to take it easy clearly she ruined that as she moved to get some of her supplies her legs wobbled some she felt weak in the knees still but she would be fine. She grabbed several and headed back to the kitchen not bothering to put her clothing on he had seen her in every way possible already anyways plus she had to get this closed again.

"I guess I made you break the advice I told you, still I had to admit I enjoyed that a great deal. I will have this fixed up in no time but I may need a nap afterwards healing jutsu is quite fatiguing and considering the event that just happened I am pretty tired."

She moved toward him as she began to focus her chakra once again the healing only aiming for the wound that opened up he would get to keep her marks she put on his body. After several minutes the wound would be closed again as she began to stitch the wound back up, he was tough she figured so he could handle a little pain from the stitches. She finished after a short while as her breathing became heavier she had to get off her feet for a second as she went to walk toward her room she began to fall she had used to much chakra and it had depleted what endurance she had left after the event. She was halfway on the counter but starting to slip down her eyes closed as she was very clearly unconscious at this point but smiling at the same time.

The sight of Yui’s legs wobbling underneath her as she first got up from the counter brought a wide grin to Bokuden’s face. Few things were more gratifying to Bokuden than leaving a woman weak in the knees and the fact that it was a woman as powerful and accomplished as Yui only made it all the more satisfying to watch. Behind all of her titles, strength, rough behavior, and questionable associations, she was still a woman after all. It almost made him want to grab her again and go for a round two, but he really did need this wound sealed and she did look exhausted. Even he was drained if he were to be honest, but it still didn’t stop the thought from crossing his mind.

When she returned with the supplies, she would waste no time in getting to work on closing the wound back up. It didn’t take long for the bleeding to stop, followed by the wound closing once again, which she finished off with some surgical suture. He shrugged off the pain from the stitching without so much as a wince. Pain was not an unfamiliar thing to him and something so minor was not even worth reacting to. Hell, Yui caused him more pain while they were going at it than with the stitches.

After she was done her breathing had once again become heavy from fatigue and as she lifted herself up and turned to face her room, Bokuden would notice Yui begin to slip down the side of the counter. He would waste no time in catching her, pulling her into him to ask her if she was okay, but one look at her face would let him know that she was out cold. The smile that still sat upon her lips was endearing and he couldn’t help but smile in turn when he saw it. He would pick her up, cradling her in his arms with one arm holding up her legs from behind her knees and the other supporting her shoulders as he head laid against his chest. Like this he would carry her back to her bedroom to place her in bed, tucking her in and pressing his lips against her forehead. He wondered how many people had ever seen her as vulnerable as he had seen her that day. It was an experience he was glad he had for more than just the sex. She was an interesting person, and no matter what became of their relationship, she seemed like the kind of person worth keeping close to him. Two lonely, emotionally wounded, black ops leading shinobi that had turned away from the seat of kage. At this point they seemed to have too much in common not to know each other.

Now that the adrenaline and lust had been expelled from his body, Bokuden also began to feel the fatigue setting in from both his injury and Yui having rung every last bit of strength he could muster out of him over the last few hours. Sleep seemed like a good idea now, but he wasn’t going to jump into bed with her. That seemed almost too intimate for him to do without an invitation and seeing how she was unconscious, there was no invitation to be had. He would make his way to her shower and wash up before putting some of his clothes back on and returning to her bedroom and taking a seat at her bedside, his back leaning against the side of the bed he had laid her on. He wasn’t going to jump in her bed and he didn’t want to leave her side, so this was the next best thing he could think of. When she would wake up she would find herself tucked into bed with him sleeping peacefully on the floor beside her, leaning against her bed with his head leaned back onto the mattress.

She slept very well that night as she had finally got some of the weight of sadness off her chest. This was something she needed and she was sure he also needed this but as she began to awake she would notice he was sleeping at the end of her bed. He could have went in her bed but he was a gentlemen it seemed she sat up looking down she was still dirty from the night before making her laugh a little. She went to the bathroom as she began to shower herself and clean the events from the night before off she was really sore still but it had been a fun night. After finishing her shower she proceeded back to her room wearing a robe she was unsure what sort of relationship they would have but she did have hopes it could be one more than just friends with benefits. She moved toward him as she would move her lips to meet his kissing him passionately as a sort of wake up call. While she had a robe on it was not tied yet leaving him to see a good thing first thing in the morning.

"Good morning I hope you had fun yesterday I certainly did I do think I like you some but that's besides the point."

She moved to take her robe off grabbing some clothing to wear her skin tight body suit sliding over her body as she slid up the zipper smiling at Bokuden. It was to bad he didn't live in Suna she could see the two of them having a lot of fun and training even together, both were strong and certainly not someone to underestimate.
