Izumi


A-rank
Izumi hadn't much personal business these days in the ruins of her former home. She'd been so busy with causing havoc among the ranks of the foreign agents acting on the wind country that she hadn't had time to track down one of her old friends. She considered him a friend but funny enough she never learned his name, knowing him only as the Jackal. The man was a sage of some canine creature, seemingly a coyote with white fur. It was a thing of beauty and he even gave her a really cool coat. Izumi had been gathering information about where she might find him during her operations, one couldn't simply ask around for a kingpin without drawing too much attention. So naturally, many of the people she'd heard whispers from wouldn't be telling their tales any time soon. Izumi undertook this personal mission  in the dead of night. It would  be a disaster if she were to be recognized by someone she didn't intend to recognize her. After all, Izumi Karisuma wasn't supposed to be here, she was supposed to be in Kumo. Instead there would be whispers of a masked woman who wasn't everything she claimed to be. The Karisuma may not even be recognizable to the Jackal, she was much older now and had dyed her hair black the only reminder of her fiery hair being the crimson highlights that speckled her raven coloured head.

There were of course other elements that someone who'd known her could pick up on, her blue eyes hadn't changed for one, and for the Jackal specifically he'd notice she was wearing his luxurious fur lined jacket. Izumi wasn't ashamed to admit that she'd grown attached to it. Not only had a man she considered a mentor given it to her, it also served as a kind reminder of her home; a simpler time when all she had to worry about was preparing for the exams. Still, she was excited to see him again maybe she'd even have a chance to show off how far she'd come. Izumi commonly thought back on her training with the Jackal with a light hearted giggle at what a bitch she'd been in her teenage years. Sure, her personality could still do with some more warmth but it was far from the misguided hatred of her adolescence. Izumi wasn't going in disguise on this night, hoping that the man would recognize her and welcome her. Nova as always followed like a shadow, hobbling along with Izumi as best she could as the Karisuma marched towards where she was told she'd find the man that she was seeking. It was a nice change of pace to have some personal time. Izumi would regale Nova with her tales of her time with the Jackal telling her about the time when she tried to burn down his bar and he repaid the gesture with throwing her through some barstools and into the bar counter, this memory in particular would have Izumi uncharacteristically animated with laughter.

Finally having arrived in the small hamlet that was rumored to be his current home. Izumi would knock on the first door she found and requested of the man who answered that one of the Cat's kittens was here to see the Jackal.

She would find the path down between the dunes fairly easily. It was designed to allow wagons and such to come down. It wasn't perfect but it made traveling easier. As if someone had reinforced just beneath the sands with solid stone to make it reliable. Still her and the one traveling with her would have been spotted about half an hour ago. Their straight path to the location kept them being tracked. No sooner would they have crossed the top of the dune to see the small settlement would there be an animal sound like a coyote barking from some distance behind them. Echoing across the distant desert. Two barks. A moment later it was answered from within the settlement with two barks and from the other dune across the way with two barks. They were communicating and watching. It seemed like the Jackal wasn't playing with the idea of security. If anything he was creating a nice little set up. Even if it wasn't as hidden as he had hoped based on all the visitors. Then again he was just outside of where the slums used to be. He couldn't expect to remain unnoticed but there were more resources available this close.

Still there would be a bustle as she approached down the dune. People would move out of the dome like houses and head back to the back of the area where it was almost a straight drop from the dune. There would be a door there and they would quickly be ushered in. A preventative protocol for new and potentially dangerous people wandering into camp that was recently founded after a samurai found his way in. Just a precaution that kept people out of any lines of fire should shit hit the fan. Still three men would approach from the crowd mulling towards the bunker. Three men in robes with turbans on their head. Sandals on their feet. They were dirty but serious expressions crossed their face. Each armed with daggers along their belt and one in the center even had a scimitar. He would scowl at the girl before looking passed her for the other. Regardless of if he saw her or not he would hold up his right hand as the two behind him made hand signs. Stone wolves would rise from the ground. Three from each caster. The one in the center would lower his hand and around him three more would appear. All thick dogs made of dark stone with sand falling away from their bodies. Nine in total now.

Before the man in the center could speak his threatening tone however she would say her piece. They looked confused. Cats kittens? Were they hookers? That seemed unlikely. Still from inside of the nearest dome building a chuckle could be heard. Soon after a man emerged. Dark hair hanging about his form. Over his legs was a pair of faded blue jeans with a hole in the right knee. A pair of brown boots covered his feet with a glove on his right hand that seemed to hum on its own with energy. A dagger was tucked into his own belt but only the one.In his left hand he was holding a kunai which he was using to cut a green apple within his right and eat a slice. His left eye seemed to glow blue as if powered with energy while his right was covered with a dark leather eye patch with the symbol of the jackal on it. Tribal tattoo's littered his arms up to his neck while on his chest was the head of the jackal. Two paw prints over his abs. He would glance to Izumi before walking up to the line of men. Never breaking eye contact with her.

"Nice coat kitten. You lot should head over to comfort the rest. If she here lookin for a fight, well, yer dogs are good for taking on groups of low level and unaware bandits, not this chick."

Tales were sung of the one she referred to only as 'the Jackal' as Nova followed Izumi under the suns midday burn in the outer shell of what once was Suna. The buildings were small and discreet, perhaps this far out they were no part of Suna at all but instead once one of the outlying hamlets that dotted the dunes. Again Nova traveled as discretely as she could, donning a civilian outfit of a loose-fitting and thin clothed dress. The constructs on which the entirety of her combat techniques relied on stayed hidden, tucked in scrolls within the carved wooden leg that caused her such a struggle walking through the sand. Unlike a normal foot, the toes would not splay to keep the foot from sinking into the dunes and with every step downwards she would slip a foot or two forward and jolt to catch her balance. More than a few times she would grasp at Izumi's arm frantically to keep from sliding face first down the burning sand. Wind would whip and the sand and their clothes, as well as Nova's currently lavender locks, around with enough velocity that they would crack like a flag in a gale. A parched tongue and aching leg would nearly bring Nova to ask for a rest before Izumi would speak first, telling her partner that they had very nearly arrived at the the location that she thought that she would find the Jackal.

A knock upon the door and a cryptic message were relayed quickly, Nova unsure of what was going on or what Izumi had meant with 'the cats kittens'. At first it seemed that they were not being received well, men with the look of mercenaries of sorts would quickly and simultaneously bring creatures from the earth; canines made of stone. At this hint of danger Nova would take a step backwards, sliding her fingers down to the back of her wooden leg if the result of this exchange was the beginning of a fight. Not a moment too soon, let a battle break out in the small discreet building that they stood within, a voice from the back would sound as the padding of feet would lead a figure forwards, "Nice coat kitten. You lot should head over to comfort the rest. If she here lookin for a fight, well, yer dogs are good for taking on groups of low level and unaware bandits, not this chick."

With wary eyes and a turned up chin, Nova would look up and down the man she had heard so much about. Striding in the room slowly his glowing blue eyes, or eye rather as the other was covered by an ornately decorated patch, would not leave Izumi's face. In one hand he held an apple, fresh enough that Nova could catch the bright scent on the air, in the other he held a kunai with which he sliced a piece from the fruit before bringing it to his mouth. Self-consciously as she never knew when this strange mans intense attention would slide to her, she would yank down at the hem of the flared sundress and fix the thin strap that had begun to slip down her shoulder. Though she had never found red to be her color, Izumi had insisted that the shade of burgundy with pale cream flowers printed on the dress looked lovely on her and thus she wore it; Truly anything to gain the affections of her loved one. Should the man not draw his attention away from the karisuma, Nova would cough slightly as if she was clearing her throat and extend a hand in offer to shake his.

The yipping noises like a pack of coyotes circling potential prey as they had approached had only served to confirm her intelligence efforts that pointed to the Jackal's location not too far from his original location, a bar that Izumi in a more unpredictable era of teenage hormones had attempted to ignite as part of a training exercise with the Jackal. It would seem the Jackal's less than legal ways had never ceased. Izumi looked on as the three turbaned men conjured wolves from the earth around them, to a bandit or typical refugee this might serve as a deterrent however instead, Izumi was holding back an amused smile. Patronizing people rarely served to calm tensions so the Karisuma simply moved on, trying to pay no mind to the new pack which circled the pair of lovers. The doormen looked confused, some of the comments they made in their barely muffled discussion about her greeting would have elicited violence in her younger years. Instead, the raven haired woman would maintain her friendly grin as the buffoons decided how to reply. From the door of the nearest building Izumi heard a chuckle that she thought was familiar, and sure enough it was confirmed to be so when its source emerged. The tattooed man approached, dressed as thuggish as ever and sporting his eye patch the man made eye contact with Izumi as he approached.

“Nice coat kitten. You lot should head over to comfort the rest. If she here lookin for a fight, well, yer dogs are good for taking on groups of low level and unaware bandits, not this chick.” Izumi's grin would grow to a smile with his words, and when he was before her Izumi would pull him into an embrace. The Jackal probably wouldn't appreciate the gesture but Izumi didn't care, she hadn't many friends in the world and the list of people she could be herself around only got shorter and shorter as the days passed by. Breaking the embrace Izumi would finally speak to the man, “Thanks, it's a bit big but I've really grown attached to it a friend of mine gave it to me.” Izumi's playful tone was accompanied by a light hearted smile and bright eyes, Nova would probably recognize that Izumi was truly happy and relaxed in her present company. Izumi had grown up in the slums that the man who she called the Jackal was the king. Like many slums crime was the economy, unlike many slums the kingpin was benevolent to the people. “It's been so long since I've come home... Oh! You should meet my …” Izumi just now realized that they'd never really defined their relationship and wasn't sure exactly what to call Nova, the Karisuma finally settled on, “... lover. This is Nova, she's from Sunagakure too. Sorry to just pop up like this, but you're not easy to find and even harder to contact. Sorry I'm rambling, do you have time for some drinks and catching up? I promise not to try to start any fires this time.”

Ryu would Smile and then his eyes would widen with surprise as Izumi would step forward and hug him. He wasn't sure he had left much of an impression but for it not to be one where someone was coming to fight him was rare. He had a talent for pissing people off. It was something he was actually rather proud of. Still for the one night he had housed them he supposed Izumi had taken to actually learning something. As soon as she mad contact though the world would seem to grey out for him and stop for a moment. His eyes would shift to the side as a man sized Coyote would walk passed him from behind in this mind realm of his. Almost like it was trapping him in a genjutsu. He understood the message even if it was only about five seconds of it walking passed and looking at him. These two were essentially the same level as him now. If they weren't looking for a fight he shouldn't press for one. He could feel Izumi's raw elemental energy and Nova's precise power emanating from her. He wouldn't like that fight he was certain. If they were just here to catch up that would certainly be nice.

The world would seem to return to normal a moment as the coyote vanished from his mind. It was unlikely either of them would have felt the slight surge of sage energy just feeling them out but at their level it was possible. Just a warm wave passing over them and retreating back. Like it was a part of them for just a moment. Still he would pat Izumi on the shoulder before she pulled away. As she introduced the silent girl he would step forward and smile as he took her outstretched hand as an invitation for his kind of greeting. His matching hand would snap out at a casual pace to slap hers before forming into a fist and holding it there for a knuckle bump. He wasn't the kind of guy who shook hands. Not unless he was bartering a deal. Even then it usually involved some spit or blood, The apple that had been in his hand had at some point been launched into the air. Likely he had done it with some slight of hand as Izumi had hugged him. It fell now as he caught it on his kunai casually. Not really bothering to glance at it.

"Sup lover girl? Welcome to the new slums. Come inside my dome if yer both lookin ta drink and talk." He would wait for a fist bump or to be ignored before using that had to lift the flap of thick cloth covering the doorway.  Even as he held it open he would turn his head and whistle towards the back. A harsh high pitched thing. People mulling into the bunker would stop before some call outs were made distantly. They would wait a few minutes before the people would start coming out to make sure but scouts were dispatched to look over the surrounding dunes. Just checking for safety. Still he would follow them into his dome. Furs littered the floor everywhere but there seemed to be some sort of chakra powered lamps within. As soon as any of them would step inside the lamps would dimly light just from their passive power output. As Soon as Ryu would enter though they would brighten up as he actually focused on them slightly. The flap falling behind him before he walked passed them. As he walked from under the furs three stone stools with backs would rise up from the furs. Keeping the fur on them for padding. Ryu would grab a bottle of fire whiskey before settling down into one of them facing the flap with the other two facing him. He would pop the top of it off as leaned back. A small bit of earth rising so he could kick his feet up onto a stool. He would take the first swig before tossing the open bottle to Izumi. Ill mannered to say the least.

"Catchin up eh? I mean, Ain't much on my end. Same old story. Have ye two come to tell me some juicy adventure? I mean ell, I expect somethin good for the winner and runner up of the exams."

Nova's eyes would narrow for a moment as Izumi reached out to hug the man before her. It was clear that Izumi was truly fond of this strange Jackal, such an affectionate greeting unusual from a woman such as her to anyone but those she found the closest. As they would embrace the man would take on a strange look in his eyes, as though he were seeing another face within the realm of his own mind; A feeling Nova had become all too familiar with as Sasori's lurked in her mind. Pulling away the gloss would fade from his eyes and he would smile and pat Izumi's shoulder. Though Nova's hand was extended for a shake, the Jackal would hold out a fist for a different greeting. Though caught off guard the corner of Nova's would would turn up in an amused smile as she would return the gesture, bumping her fist to his a little harder that intending and trying to resist the urge to shake out the pain she had inflicted upon herself. Though she had not seen the transition from hand to air, Nova's eye would be caught by the falling of a shining green apple tumbling through the air only to be impaled on a waiting kunai in the man's free hand. Perhaps... she was impressed.

"Sup lover girl? Welcome to the new slums. Come inside my dome if yer both lookin ta drink and talk.", The Jackal would turn and hold aside a hanging rectangle of thickly woven cloth to stick his head out and whistle. Nova's freckled cheeks would flush red at what the Jackal had dubbed her, though it only made her squirm closer to Izumi until her arm was pressed to her. After a moments wait, he would step forth into the dunes. The sun was nearly blinding after the darkness of within, though their walk was a short one and they were led to a dome that emerged from the sand in just a short minute. Nova lagged behind shortly, wooden left leg dragging through the sand inefficiently and slowing her. Into the dome they would step, Nova feeling as though she had stepped into the home of a member of an ancient tribe. The floors were thickly carpeted with furs, so soft and luxurious looking Nova felt compelled to take off her show and walk upon it. Yet she would hold back that urge, her attention dragged away by the lamps that seemed to glow more brightly as the Jackal would stride by. After they passed through, the falling of the cloth instantly seemed to cool the room. Not much, as the beating sun overhead had been in the sky for several hours was unrelenting, but still several degrees cooler without the rays on their skin.

Nova would watch with a keen eye as a trio of lumps would form beneath the furs, confused an wary for a moment before realizing that they were drawn from the earth with the sole purpose of seating. From futher within the room, the Jackal would stride back and return with a nearly full bottle of something. Popping the top off and letting it fall to the floor, he would flop into one of the seats and begin to lean back. For a moment it seemed he was falling, but it seemed he was merely raising his feet for slab of stone below them to rise still covered in furs. Partly as courtesy, and partly in thankfulness for a seat, she would lower herself into one. Wooden leg sticking out in front of her slightly, she would rub her left hip through the dress from the soreness that she had been experiences with her more numerous treks on foot as of late. Without a moment of notice, the Jackal would toss the still open bottle to Izumi. Closing her eyes for a moment, Nova would wince as she expected the clatter of glass to the ground and spray of alcohol. Cautiously, she would see that Izumi held the bottle in her own hands to her lips, not a drop spilled. Waiting with a shy smile, she would wait for the passing of the bottle to her should it ever come.

"Catchin up eh? I mean, Ain't much on my end. Same old story. Have ye two come to tell me some juicy adventure? I mean ell, I expect somethin good for the winner and runner up of the exams.", the Jackal seemed quite relaxed, at ease even. If only because he was in the presence of someone he was familiar with. With that, Nova would stay quiet, letting Izumi speak before she.

Izumi was happy that the Jackal was just as pleased to see her as she was him. They'd share a tight embrace for a carefree moment in their otherwise chaotic and violent lives before returning to the world. Izumi would look to see Nova being her usual awkward self trying to … shake his hand? Izumi couldn't help but let out a giggle at her lover's timid nature. Izumi loved her all the same for it but regardless it was funny. Ever the suave person Ryu salvaged the situation taking it in a more casual direction. Adding on to the display the man managed to catch an apple on the kunai held in his hand, already in perfect position for the fruit's descent. "Sup lover girl? Welcome to the new slums. Come inside my dome if yer both lookin ta drink and talk." The man was much less surly than he'd been their first encounter, even going so far as to bestow a nickname on Nova. Granted after having dealt with Jun, Izumi could understand why one would be upset to babysit a hormonal young Izumi. If it had just been Chou it would be much less of a bother, the young daughter of Syekren was kind and quiet the ideal child for babysitting. Izumi noticed that Nova had also heard the nickname and was embarrassed by it turning bright red and eliciting another giggle from Izumi as  the younger woman buried herself into Izumi's side. The raven haired woman would wrap her arm around her lover's waist to offer her some comfort in spite of the giggles.

Obviously accepting the invitation Izumi followed behind the Jackal, the setup was impressive gorgeous furs were illuminated by the chakra lamps that dimly lit the floors. Upon the Jackal's entrance they would brighten, responding to the chakra of their owner. Before taking a seat on the stools that rose from the floor Izumi would say “Love what you've done with the place, much better than the last slums.” The Jackal went to the back of the building and grabbed a bottle of the drink she'd shared with Syekren on the night of Suna's destruction and popped the bottle open before taking a swig. Not being the one for pesky things like a heads up he tossed Izumi the open bottle straight away. Nova cringed probably expecting it to break but instead Izumi easily caught it out of the air and drew it to her mouth taking a deep drink from it and offer it to Nova whose smile showed she clearly enjoyed Izumi's display.

"Catchin up eh? I mean, Ain't much on my end. Same old story. Have ye two come to tell me some juicy adventure? I mean ell, I expect somethin good for the winner and runner up of the exams." It was nice to be around a real friend, not just someone or some other from this or that society that she was attending. Her meticulous charade required such tiring social outings. Even for a social creature such as herself it was a bit taxing. Lately it seemed Izumi only felt truly alive in bed and in battle but a sincere social meeting was enough to energize and bring out the best in her. Opening with a lighthearted laugh, she'd continue in a sweet tone “So you've heard about that already. I did so well thanks to you and Syekren. I'd have been lost without you two. My life afterwards was pretty boring at first. Just going on missions and visiting the library, it really got interesting just before leaving Kirigakure actually. The Lord Osada held an exclusive training camp. It was nothing like the spars and the mockery of real combat the exams make. They don't fuck around in the Mist Village. I'm actually supposed to be in the Cloud Village right now.... you know what's weird? You've never told me your name I've just been calling you the Jackal all this time and never realized how strange that is. I've got a secret identity of my own now though what with the partial dereliction of duties. Oh yeah, and the killings.” Izumi turned a bit red once she realized she had fallen into an old habit of rambling, quickly masking the flush by snatching the bottle from Nova and taking another gulp of the amber nectar.

Ryu would watch as he took a bite of the apple on the kunai. Letting his meal continue as his eye caught Izumi catching the bottle with ease. An open container of liquid would have been difficult to catch back at the level she had left him at. For her to snag it out of the air effortlessly without spilling a drop, He would almost scoff. Her physical level was likely around that of a high level chunnin or a low level Special Jounin. Jesus the kids these days sure did progress quickly. Still her manners had improved. Not a single spark or threat as of yet. Still she would speak as he swallowed his bite. “So you've heard about that already. I did so well thanks to you and Syekren. I'd have been lost without you two. My life afterwards was pretty boring at first. Just going on missions and visiting the library, it really got interesting just before leaving Kirigakure actually.

It was good that her life had been boring. His sure hadn't. The sands burning down had left him with a lively time as a smuggler and a guardian to some rag tag group of people that followed him. Fools as they were they were getting by. His eye slid over to Nova a moment. She had gotten close to Izumi as if out of a sense of caution towards new surroundings perhaps? He smirked a little at the thought that maybe it was more of a possessive action. Placing herself as the mate in this situation subconsciously over a hug. Still they seemed comfortable enough even if Izumi was taking some liberty with the drink. He could replace it easily but damn did she want to get smashed at the pace she was going. Still he would nod a little at the words about Kiri. Yeah they were some mean fucks those ones. Still the question was put up in the air. What was his name? Before he might have been hesitant to answer but he supposed with any possible record of him burned to shit and back it didn't matter. Still he would run one hand through his long dark hair a moment before letting his head fall back. Staring at the ceiling a moment. The alcohol was for guests anyway. He could only get drunk via chakra means or some ungodly concoction that would send most to the hospital from a shot. He was working on it. Still he would speak up as if to the ceiling.

"Myugan Ryu. Once upon a time I was a shinobi for a lost village. They disagreed with one of my disagreements years before that shit hit the fan though. All I am now is a business man. These sands, far as the eye can see from the top of this dune is mine. I can be happy with that. Got a question though." He would tilt his head down and his blue eye would focus on Nova now. Seeming to glow with energy even though he wasn't charging anything. "You a mute girl? Ain't said a damn word yet. Startin to wonder if your a genjutsu over there. One of them fake clone thingies? Ya know?"

As Nova had wished, Izumi would speak first,  “So you've heard about that already. I did so well thanks to you and Syekren. I'd have been lost without you two. My life afterwards was pretty boring at first. Just going on missions and visiting the library, it really got interesting just before leaving Kirigakure actually.

You've never told me your name I've just been calling you the Jackal all this time and never realized how strange that is. I've got a secret identity of my own now though what with the partial dereliction of duties. Oh yeah, and the killings.” Though it was not something the average eye would catch, Nova's familiarity with Izumi would let her see the nervous covering of her rosy cheeks behind the liquor bottle. Perhaps simultanous to Nova's attention on Izumi, the Jackal would let his gaze slide to Nova. A slight smirk would grace the handsome face. The Jackal would nod at the mention of Kiri, leaving Nova curious if the man had had many experiences with shinobi from there before. After listening to Izumi speak, he would a hand through the long locks of straight ebony hair and leaned his head back. In them moment of silence before he would begin to speak again, Nova would signal to Izumi that she might enjoy another sip from the glass bottle.

With his eyes affixed on the dim ceiling above him, he would answer the questions she asked, "Myugan Ryu. Once upon a time I was a shinobi for a lost village. They disagreed with one of my disagreements years before that shit hit the fan though. All I am now is a business man. These sands, far as the eye can see from the top of this dune is mine. I can be happy with that. Got a question though." Pausing for just a moment he would tilt his head back down and look to Nova, "You a mute girl? Ain't said a damn word yet. Startin to wonder if your a genjutsu over there. One of them fake clone thingies? Ya know?" These words would come only seconds after Nova had brought the dark glass to her lips and let the fiery substance cross her tongue. Now with attention on her, she did all she could to not cough and spew the fine drink across the others, instead dropping it to her lap and coughing harshly into a pillow with her nose stinging as a bit had been exhaled in the most unpleasant of manners. Coughing several more times, and now with a cherry red face she would look back to the man who had now identified himself as Ryu. No... erm.. No. My name is... uh.., Nova would begin before studdering a pause out and looking to her partner who would nod some voiceless message back to her before she would continue, “My name is Nova. It's nice to meet you. It's just... we have been traveling alone for some time. Not much talking ya know?” Though she tried to play it cool, she could feel the burn of a flush across her freckled cheeks and knew the other two would notice it as well.

“As far as since the exams.... Izumi's had about the same experience I have. Well for the most part...”, again her voice would drift off as her thoughts wandered for a moment to the puppeted being sealed in a scroll in her leg and the presence that he had in her mind. Coughing one last time from the drink that had still stung her throat should would add on, “Lord Osada took me as a student for some time before that camp though. That mansion is so damn spooky that I stayed with Izumi half the time anyways”, a playful tone touching her voice as the nerves would fade; Whether that was the effect of the booze or the presence of Izumi beside her however would remain unknown. “Did you watch the exams? Izumi's mentioned you a time or two but never if you were there or not...”, Nova would inquire as she leaned forward to hand the bottle to the raven haired man before settling leaning forward with her elbows on her knees and chin resting on her hand as a backdrop of lavender waves fell over her shoulders.

Running his hands through his hair, he would give the answer that Izumi had wondered after for a couple years. His name. Along with a bit more the man would say, "Myugan Ryu. Once upon a time I was a shinobi for a lost village. They disagreed with one of my disagreements years before that shit hit the fan though. All I am now is a business man. These sands, far as the eye can see from the top of this dune is mine. I can be happy with that. Got a question though." About half way through, the consequences of her cover up for embarrassment hit her in a rush. Izumi was probably swaying a bit by now and was mostly focusing on staying upright as she tried to focus on the words. Ryu... At least the name stuck with her. Once the man finished, Izumi was able to mutter out “I haven't drank this much since the night Suna got destroyed.” Largely irrelevant to the matters at hand Izumi didn't press the issue. She did glance at Nova briefly a spot of worry in her eyes as she set the bottle down with her left hand, all smiles. Luckily for Izumi the conversation turned towards Nova, "You a mute girl? Ain't said a damn word yet. Startin to wonder if your a genjutsu over there. One of them fake clone thingies? Ya know?”

Izumi couldn't help herself from loudly laughing at the implication of her lover being a mute clone, not wanting to be bothered with words Izumi shook her head no not caring for the intricacies of conversation and assuming the simple gesture would say everything it needed. The raven haired woman's lover thankfully had words of her own to explain herself with. The sudden attention on her caused Nova to sputter a bit and cough. Izumi laughed again as she noticed the fire whiskey dripping from her nose and choking her. “No... erm.. No. My name is... uh.. At first Izumi was confused why her lover looked to her before answering, so she simply nodded yes in encouragement. As her lover's next sentence began Izumi realized why Nova had looked as if for permission, “My name is Nova. It's nice to meet you. It's just... we have been traveling alone for some time. Not much talking ya know?” Oh right, the secret identies. her thoughts were accompanied by a slight giggle. “You're a-always quiet silly.” Nova turned a little bit red after Izumi's comment and it made the older woman feel a tinge bad. Izumi leaned forward and gave her lover a sweet kiss on the cheek for encouragement.

It seemed to give her a slight bit of encouragement when she gave her the little kiss and as such Nova continued, “As far as since the exams.... Izumi's had about the same experience I have. Well for the most part...” Nova seemed to be having a hard time holding a thought as her voice once again trailed off with a cough. Izumi put her left hand on Nova's back and rubbed it softly as the younger once again gathered the courage to speak, “Lord Osada took me as a student for some time before that camp though. That mansion is so damn spooky that I stayed with Izumi half the time anyways” A satisfied smile would cross Izumi's lips with this last suggestion and she'd look up towards Ryu and give him a thumbs up behind her back with a wink in indication of her self-satisfaction. Izumi's soft rubbing would continue throughout. “Did you watch the exams? Izumi's mentioned you a time or two but never if you were there or not...”

Izumi stretched widely yawning and stretching before breaking the silence that accompanied Nova handing the bottle down to Ryu. It dawned on Izumi that she hadn't even paid for it or offered to so. “How much for more of this stuff, it tastes like home I need some for the road. You know Nova, last time I saw him he was my babysitter. This dick kicked my ass, threw me through some bar stools. All I did was try to burn the place down. Oh wait, I would have killed us all that's why he did it. I'm so glad to be home. I grew up not far from here actually... Hey Ryu need anything for the business? I'd love to help out a friend. Not many of those left....”

Ryu would glance at the girls. Listening as Nova finally spoke. Or rather sputtered and then spoke. He imagined her nostrils were burning from that. Fire whiskey was flavored as just that. Like snorting cinnamon. He would have chuckled if not for being cautious with present company. They might fly the banner of friendship but one could always change loyalties. It happened often. Their own connection was one fragile night. Not even on of romance but instead born of violence and loss. Still she would introduce herself and explain that her story basically mirrored that of Izumi's. His blue eye would study her a moment as she spoke. Well built except for that foot. Likely not designed for hand to hand combat. He had a solution for her dragging in the sand issue though. As for them studying under some lord Osada that was their business. He had come to never believe in any lords or ladies that claimed sovereignty over a land. They always claimed his land and wanted taxes or something. Issue being was he didn't bow to anyone. Lord or no it mattered little to him. Still they were getting stronger. Perhaps he would have a use for them. Or he needed to step it up himself.

Still he noted the amount they were drinking. Likely they wouldn't be moving to much any time soon. Hell if Izumi tried to stand up right that second her head would likely spin. It wasn't a light beer they were drinking. It was a Myugan craft hard alcohol drink. Not that he minded though. He was used to drunk people and if they were drunk they were comfortable. He wouldn't come under attack if he didn't provoke one. Still he would sit forward and cross his ankles under him. His arms resting on his knee's. She offered to buy the bottle and he almost smiled as she offered to help him with anything he needed as well. Drunk business deals usually worked in his favor. Still he would resist the urge to jump straight on the deal. Payment was nice and all but actually having a market nearby to buy from was unlikely. Still he would seem to consider her words a little. His eyes shifting as if he were thinking about something in his head. Truth was he knew exactly what he wanted from them. Given their stories. Still he would be sure to answer Nova first. Direct away from the deal and back to it. Don't show too much interest.

"Nah, I didn't go. But given everything that happened round here during that time any one from Suna likely knows your names. Placing us so high in the ranking. It's no surprise you both found training and work easily enough. As for that bottle, if ye wantin to help me with some business, ill trade ye the bottle for some simple information. What road did ye use to get here from Kiri? No one saw ye coming and in my line of work thats got some value. As for you," he would slide to his feet from his chair and move over across his room to a chest. Kicking it open with one swift kick before rummaging around in it. Some cloaks, a gas mask, ah! Having found it he would collect two snow shoes. They used it to hide their tracks in the sands but for her it would serve another purpose. He would toss them one at a time to her before speaking and leaning against the dome wall. "They called snow shoes but they work for sand too. They expand your foot base out for better balance."

Izumi seemed to have noticed how much of the bottle was now empty before speaking, “How much for more of this stuff, it tastes like home I need some for the road, she would pause for a moment to take another swig before turning to her lavender haired companion, “You know Nova, last time I saw him he was my babysitter. This dick kicked my ass, threw me through some bar stools. All I did was try to burn the place down. Oh wait, I would have killed us all that's why he did it. I'm so glad to be home. I grew up not far from here actually... Hey Ryu need anything for the business? I'd love to help out a friend. Not many of those left....” Through the drink induced haze Nova would note a slight smile on the mans face, though her impaired judgement led her to the conclusion that there was nothing behind it besides delight at the presence of a friend he had not seen in some time.

Ryu would speak, responding to Nova's inquiry before the proposal from Izumi,"Nah, I didn't go. But given everything that happened round here during that time any one from Suna likely knows your names. Placing us so high in the ranking. It's no surprise you both found training and work easily enough.” Nova would nod in response, her tongue feeling heavy in her mouth and her head buzzing. Turning his attention Izumi's words, Ryu would speak again, “As for that bottle, if ye wantin to help me with some business, ill trade ye the bottle for some simple information. What road did ye use to get here from Kiri? No one saw ye coming and in my line of work thats got some value. As for you," Ryu would spring from the chair and with a few strides would move to a chest by the wall opposite them. With the heel of his boot he would kick it open before digging around in what appeared to be an assortment of traveling gear. After the clatter of things being shuffled around, he would grunt in what seemed to be signal of finding what he sought. Turning to Nova would would toss two large meshed frames to her one after the other. Inebriated as she was, the first she would catch awkwardly while the other would hit her hand and clatter to the floor. As she scrambled to pick it up and look at the peculiar items closer, Ryu would speak from where he stood leaning against the wall.

Nova would nod and hum in approval as she prodded at them, and while she knew it would truly be a useful tool to have she had to restrain herself from a comment how she didnt really need to walk anyways. Though her once shy demeanor had left her quiet and inspired many a joke at her expense, the strong drink was one sure way to push that trait aside. Though the question had likely been directed at Izumi, Nova would pipe up to answer after thanking Ryu for the gift, “I'd forgotten how hard the sand was to walk in with this thing... thank you! These should prove useful in our travels. As far as how we made it here under cover, unfortunately we have no secret path to tell you of. Disguises and traveling through the wilderness near the less populated paths but not on them was most of it. When we came to an cross in paths or encampments we couldn't make it around, we went under them instead."

The alcohol was definitely doing a number on Izumi, who was for lack of a better term at this point, hammered. It was getting much harder and harder for Izumi to focus on the world before her. Anytime someone would look at the raven haired Karisuma she’d giggle a bit and take another sip of the drink. Izumi was comfortable in this man’s presence and obviously moreso in Nova’s. While normally it would be the younger woman leaning against the Karisuma, with Izumi’s level of intoxication she was involuntarily leaning on the younger one. Izumi had drank far more than the average person would’ve been able to handle but given her life style and her profession she had a pretty strong tolerance for toxins.  Even so, the amount of liquor the Karisuma had consumed would be enough to put most commoners in the hospital but the beautiful woman took it with a cheery smile and a – quite literally – supportive loved one.  Her chin and most of her weight resting on Nova’s shoulder she could see 3 of Ryu all carrying the same message replying to Nova’s question, “ Nah, I didn't go. But given everything that happened round here during that time any one from Suna likely knows your names. Placing us so high in the ranking. It's no surprise you both found training and work easily enough.” Izumi nodded sagely but at all the wrong times barely able to process the perceived to be jumbled speech of Ryu Myugan.  The words would eventually make sense to the Karisuma who would beam at the mention of her accomplishments and those of her lover. Once it was clear to Izumi that the next words were directed somewhat at her the Karisuma would sit kind of, straight up and listen, “As for that bottle, if ye wantin to help me with some business, ill trade ye the bottle for some simple information. What road did ye use to get here from Kiri? No one saw ye coming and in my line of work thats got some value.”

“As for you,” Ryu rose to cross the room, and for some reason in Izumi’s inebriated mind Ryu had agreed to a rematch of their previous sparring match in order to get information from her,  so she rose with him. “You’ll have to fight me for it you sly d-dog. I must warn you, I have, gotten mu- AAAAHHHH!” with a sudden shrill scream Izumi slipped and fell straight on her ass. Laughing as she said it, she picked up assuming he knew what had gone on in her mind, “Ho- how are you, how are you so much be- better than me still? I’ve like, like, worked so so so hard to be as good as you. You’re the, you’ve always been an inspiration to me.”  The words probably didn’t make sense but Izumi laughed as she spoke these words and picked herself back up sloppily to the stool and resigning to whatever Ryu was doing and the fact that she’d never be his equal taking another heavy drink in celebration of her unwitting defeat at the hands of alcohol. ”They called snow shoes but they work for sand too. They expand your foot base out for better balance." In her slowed cognitive state the full meaning of the man’s words to her finally clicked and she turned beat red in embarrassment realizing that he hadn’t offered to spar her at all and that he really just wanted a chat. Izumi buried her head in her hands while he spoke to Nova before gathering her courage and sitting once again more or less straight up.

As she opened her mouth to speak about their “secret” path of blood and carnage Nova had more eloquent and coherent words that even had a thank you at the start, “I'd forgotten how hard the sand was to walk in with this thing... thank you! These should prove useful in our travels. As far as how we made it here under cover, unfortunately we have no secret path to tell you of. Disguises and traveling through the wilderness near the less populated paths but not on them was most of it. When we came to an cross in paths or encampments we couldn't make it around, we went under them instead." Normally this would have been a sufficient explanation for Izumi as well but instead she had the need to really elaborate on her own part of the how and spoke in a very loud whisper. “I totally, totally killed them. The people who saw us I mean, if they weren’t from the Sand they’re a part of it now. Oh yeah and the masks! And the scorpions that can dig and carry us under shit. Also, if you have heard the names, shit, love what do we call ourselves again? Errr …. Zhi! That’s me and she’s … ummm …. Don’t tell me. She’s Xie! But yeah, codenames, tunnels and blood. That’s how we sneak around…. What did you want to know from me again?” At the end of her sentence Izumi would try to stand up for no good reason and once again fall to her ass laughing after the initial yelp of surprise.

Izumi hopping up to challenge him drunkenly caught him by surprise. A spark flickered around him for a moment as he prepared to lash out at the shouting woman. He wasn't about to get burned because he assumed she wasn't capable. That was a fools game. Still his eye narrowed as the spark faded and she fell back into her seat. Jesus he had to wonder just how close they had just gotten to this whole dome being turned into a kiln. Of course normally she wouldn't risk it with her lover there but he wasn't certain that she wasn't within the drunk enough to ignore the consequences but not drunk enough to cast jutsu. Still as she fell back into her chair and claimed he had won he would take a breath. The other seemed a little drunk as well but a different kind of drunk. Usually he would pick pocket them for their belongings at this point but being as they had a history he would refrain from his old games. No need to loot some ninja gear after all. Back in the old days he would use his inability to get drunk as a ruse to cheat people out of easily obtained goods.

Still his ears twitched as they mentioned they hadn't exactly been subtle on their approach so much as they killed any and all opposition. Tunneling when they could but simply slaughtering when they couldn't. The fake names seemed to lack point when there was never witnesses. A little savage but he couldn't blame them. For now they were smashed. If that was the case he might have the advantage here. Not to do anything unwarranted to the girls, he was sure he could find a woman any time he wished that worshiped everything under his clothes. Perhaps for a price if he wanted that specifically. No, these two were not drunken and vulnerable girls. They were inebriated warriors after battle. Like the Valkyries of old. His attention would shift to the north east. There were Kumo camps and trade routes in that direction. Moving as they liked and conquering where they pleased. Such ripe supply routes for those not accustomed to the heat. A lot of food meant to last and hydrate. In the desert it was its own treasure. Especially with society broken down to this level. Every camp scrounging to get by. Even his only had so much supply left. Eventually....no this raid would set them for a long time. If the two of them were used to killing all witnesses....

Once again he would feel his muscles tighten as Izumi shot up and fell down again. Damn if that girl didn't keep him on edge. Laughing and yelping like a girl fresh out of school with her first drink. He would take a breath as he considered who her teacher was. He enjoyed his drink too. Not to the point of pounding it but she was less weathered. Instead he would stand up and move to one end of the dome. Letting himself fall back into a pile of furs. His blue eyes watching them both as he lounged about. It was a risk but they were likely not huge fans of Kumo. Few people were and even fewer from the sands for that matter. He would prop himself up on one elbow before speaking. More to Nova at this point since Izumi was mostly faded.

"Well I suppose that is one talent to keep handy. And some experience with enemy combatants too boot. Though I don't know that your ready for the big girl games yet. See, I intend to hit a kumo trade route tomorrow. Maybe soon you two might be ready for the big kids table?"

That’s how we sneak around…. What did you want to know from me again?”, the strong booze that their host was so gracious as to share with the pair was making its effects obvious in the behaviors of at least one of the women. Izumi seemed to be urged onward by the alcohol, first seeming to have envisioned a fight that didn't exist then following that with sharing far for information than Nova was exactly comfortable with. While the drink did seem to lubricate her vocal cords and made the quiet puppet mistress quiet, it had the added effect of making Nova more wary than normal. The most unusual and often dangerous things had happened around her after a few drinks. Like a moth to several different lights her thoughts would flit back and forth, wandering for a moment back to a time what, while different still wasn't much easier.

Sitting up straight in her chair for a moment, Nova's expression would grow distant and the thoughts of one who she had been able to push away for the most of their time here would invade her mind. You've let yourself get far too drunk, even I am on the verge of being able to take your movements from you, though it was so little, that side comment would make Nova even more conscious of the substances that she had consumed and realize how little she could do about it after having imbibed.  Though Nova had been so deep in her own thoughts that she hadn't noticed, the man who called himself the Jackal had wandered to the opposite end of the fur filled dome with his own glass in hand, sipping at it thoughtfully. Falling back into yet another mound of the luxurious pelts that the room was covered in and propped himself up on and elbow. Back to reality Nova would snap at the sound of the man who she had just met's voice, "Well I suppose that is one talent to keep handy. And some experience with enemy combatants too boot. Though I don't know that your ready for the big girl games yet. See, I intend to hit a kumo trade route tomorrow. Maybe soon you two might be ready for the big kids table?"

Nova took a moment to comprehend what he had said, the influence of both the drink and the thoughts that rang in her head that did not belong to her. Letting her attention fall back to him she would look towards him as if trying to show visibly that she was focusing on him. “We've done a few. Trade routes I mean”, leaning back for a moment she let loose a yawn that she was no longer able to contain, “we've got like... like this ruse we run. 'damsel in distress' type thing.”. Letting silence punctuate the words she would reach toward the bottle in Izumi's hands and take another deep drink of its contents, holding it up for a moment as she realized how much they had emptied. Pondering aloud for Ryu to hear, her voice would trail off as she spoke, “you know... I never understand how they fall for it. Really. What crippled girl goes out in the desert alone.. I don't even look injured really.....” Drinking from that bottle in her grip once more, she could slide forward in her seat and land heavily on her bottom in the furs in front of the stone-crafted stool. Leaning her head back against those soft pelts, she couldn't help but giggle inwardly at the state she was currently in.

There’s a point of intoxication where someone realizes they’re in trouble and that they’re making a fool of themselves. Luckily for Izumi even though she was at that point she was in good company and she’d only sort of done something dumb. Okay, mistaking someone walking across the room as them challenging you to a duel is bit more than a little bit dumb. Thankfully for the Karisuma woman she wouldn’t remember much of her conversations with Ryu tonight. She’d remember his name and that she’d had a good time but her brain would conveniently forget the embarrassing bits. "Well I suppose that is one talent to keep handy. And some experience with enemy combatants too boot. Though I don't know that your ready for the big girl games yet. See, I intend to hit a kumo trade route tomorrow. Maybe soon you two might be ready for the big kids table?" The words sounded alien almost as if they were in a foreign language. The Karisuma woman took far too long to process what the words even meant as she leaned on her lover nibbling on her neck having forgotten that Ryu was even there.

“We've done a few. Trade routes I mean, we've got like... like this ruse we run. 'damsel in distress' type thing.” Nova reached over shoulder offering what was left in the bottle to Izumi. Izumi smiled and snatched it out of her hand, the words she’d just said having not even reached her mind fully. As she drank her lover continued talking, elaborating on their favorite schtick, the damsel in distress. “you know... I never understand how they fall for it. Really. What crippled girl goes out in the desert alone.. I don't even look injured really.....” Izumi began giggling again, got a sentence of somewhat coherent words together discarded the intelligent analysis she had and instead went for what her heart told her “They don’t see reason they just see those tits.” Izumi would take another sip from the bottle and set it on the edge of the counter before her where Nova would take it have another sip then fall off of her stool. Izumi began to laugh at the silly girl and stood up wobbling. “Ryu … Jackal … uhh, you! I’m going to sleep now, thanks for, thanks for the drinks. I’m glad I came home again I like it here… goodnight Ryu.” Izumi wasted no time after her awkward rambling to pounce on her love and fall asleep regardless of her lover’s intentions for the rest of the night.

They would mention how they had already used a ruse to lure in enemies as it was. He would tilt his head and look to the two of them. Damsel in distress in the desert? Well he supposed it was easy to fall for. As Izumi brought up they took one look at her chest and men would come running right into a demon pit. He would run one hand through his hair as he sat forward. Still his hair would fall around his face as he took a breath. So these two were already soldiers in this war. He couldn't help but feel an attachment to them now. Izumi he had history with but anyone willing to put blood in the water in these times for his side, he was grateful for.  He always needed allies because if there was one thing he knew about battle, the fight never ends. Still if he was going to be a legend in this place he would need to start to move. He had kept to himself for the most part and survived. Gathering power and still he hesitated. He would bring the hand from his hair down in front of his face. Contemplating as he slowly clenched his hand into a fist a few times. Feeling the power gathered there. Was it enough to make a difference? It was potent but...he would need to be smart about this still. There were more powerful people out there. But they could be beaten if approached in just the right way.

:"Tomorrow than, I will be sure to have something to eat for you before we go and show them the sands belong to us. Be prepared for the fight of your lives."


With that he would look to Izumi who had already drifted off. Whether she heard him or not it didn't matter. He knew she would be down to burn someone. This was her home originally too. A Karisuma. His blue eye would shift to Nova which he knew less of. Her puppetry had left her invincible in the exams. The Iron spider. It would prove useful but hopefully she was prepared to kill. Plenty of talk but than again there always was. He would see for himself in the morning though. For now he would rise up out of his seat.Walking to the edge of the tent and grabbing a cigarette out of a jar there. Walking outside of the tent. Letting the lights dim to let them sleep. For now he was waiting on his scouts to come back. Looking for a good time and place to hit tomorrow. There were preparations to make when dealing with attacking a superior force. He would step to the side and lean back against the dome wall before lighting his smoke with a spark of his finger. Inhaling deeply before blowing out a thick ring. Chances are he was going to have to rely on that form...it was dangerous and he couldn't control it yet. There were other options though. A couple of jutsu he had been studying. He felt the power at his fingertips to use them but had been hesitant. Using any A rank jutsu was bound to attract attention for perhaps up to a mile out. The war nearby was already close enough without any questions coming his way. Still he knew the motions, knew his control and was certain he could preform them. He would finish smoking over the next several minutes before stretching. He was restless before a big fight. After all this could be it for him. Idly he would hum to himself. He hadn't accomplished much but if you were from the sands you likely had heard of the jackal. If he pulled this off...if he drove off armies he would be remembered for centuries in Suna. If they won tomorrow, their power and fame would only grow. However with that came new challenges. New challengers and more power behind them. The element of surprise wouldn't always be his. He would contemplate that as he tossed the butt into the sand and turned to sleep on the other side of the dome from the drunken girls.
