Slipping into the heated waters of the springs, her own muscles began to relax. It was blissful, even if just for a moment. It would stave off the world for the time being. "It certainly does have a calming effect," answered the raikage, as she slid down into the waters, where her shoulders were submersed. "That's quite the relief Dai... It would have been..." She knew not the way she would be able to communicate that the prosecution of the law for divulging village secrets. Kin believed, rather knew, how depressing it would be.

"The better the fighter, the more of a challenge to win."


Dai nodded as Kin commented about it being a relief. "It could of been for the reasons I was with Kein. But it was mostly because of how I held myself around them." Dai moved, now sitting next to Kinpaku. "I kept to myself in Konoha, Yuki...well...Yuki I stuck to the mission you gave me." She moved to where she was sitting out of the water and of the ledge of the spring. She sat behind Kin and began to message the woman's tense shoulers and neck. "Despite how I acted before the mission...I've always hated Uchiha's. Call me silly. But I seek revenge on Kein for the crimes his clan had upon my adoptive parents." Dai sighed. "I had to get close to him. Seem interested in him romantically. So, when the time came. I could strike without warning. Which came to pass at the Prison in Kiri." She shuttered before slipping her arms down Kinpaku's shoulder. Crossing her wrists and kissing the woman's neck. "I am still very true to the woman I'm bathing with right now." She kissed Kin's space the connected neck to shoulder. Nuzzling Kinpaku's neck, Dai had fallen silent for a moment. "With my betrayal to Kein, I'm sure he will come for me within time." She sighed. "I wish to gain Sannin by that time." She thought to the new she had heard while traveling. Sages where either stepping down or dying. "Perhaps, after some rest, I could travel to the Summoning lands. I have had my eyes on becoming a sage since Sukai had become the cat sage." Dai smiled at the thought of Sukai's reaction once she saw her after being gone for near a year. But the reaction of telling that kinder girl about Kein's betrayal to Kumo would be the hardest of all. "I'm sorry." She whispered. "I know I made you worry, Kin. I should of reported in sooner. Told you my plans from the start. Have told you I sought the blood of Kein Uchiha." Dai sat up and slipped into the space between Kin and the wall. She pulled the small framed woman into her arms and lap. Set the woman to where she could see her face. "Can you forgive me for not reporting in sooner?"


"The best part is, you don’t think I’m a threat."

The raikage listened carefully, as Daitomi began to explain. Yukigakure was vaguely mentioned, and onwards. It was blissful that the young woman considered Kin so, that she clambered onto the edge, Daitomi's fingers moved gently against her own skin and things began to slip almost. Daitomi explained further and further into her motivations, up until the events of the prison, in which the two had met again. The arms ceased their efforts and crossed one another in a hug, leaving Dai to give Kin the attention she'd been yearning. Just simple, affectionate contact. "All is forgiven, Daitomi," Kinpaku whispered, leaning her head back, leaving the whisper directly in the woman's ear. "If you wish to go after the dogs, it is not my place to stop you now. You're a woman, and a jounin. Not some fresh-from-the-academy genin." If Daitomi wished for a summon, she was free to do so whenever. She shook her head gently. Stress had been built up so much, but Daitomi's return was such a relief, with the incident with Kein left to minimal casualties. It had taken its toll on her.

Dai smiled as Kin spoke to her. She grinned when Kin gave her permission to go after becoming the Canine sage. Dai leaned forward, placing her lips against Kinpaku's. Kissing the lips she had yearned for the most in the past few months. Cupping the woman's jaw in her palm to savor this long over due kiss. After some time, Dai pulled away and smiled. "Try not to be so stress, Kin." Dai smiled softly and brushed her thumb over Kin's soft skin. "I'm home. An Oinin. And once I return from the sage lands, I'll take up some students." She spoke. "Rebuild the hunter program that Kein started. And I'll help you around the office if you allow." Dai kissed the woman again. "The weight of the village shouldn't be only on you. In single digits, we struggle. But as a Village we thrive. I learned that from Yukikage." She whispered before kissing her again. She missed the warm and feelings she got when she kissed Kin. She thrived on her admiration and affections for Kin. Never thought she would love someone so deeply as Kinpaku. "I'm here for you. I am one of your strongest shinobi. I will protect and help you in any way possible." Dai kissed the woman's forehead, "I promise." Dai spoke with undying love in her voice. "May I escort you back to the office?" She asked while brushing pieces of Kin's bangs back. "You shouldn't be away to long...and...new genin should meet their wonderful, smart, talented, stubborn Kage Kinpaku." Dai giggled as she hugged Kin tight against her body showing that she was kidding around. She paused for a moment and picked up on some fluxes that didn't sit will with her. "There's trouble at the gates." Dai looked at Kinpaku. I should go help. Dai gave the woman a kiss goodbye before vanishing. Clothing gone from where they laid and her signature fading behind her.

"I would go and show them who leads them, but I should already be there," laughed the woman gently, when Dai brought up another factor. There was plenty to say, but there was little to do. The raikage rose from the baths, Daitomi away already. Her legs shuddered beneath her, while the world spun swiftly. "Someone..." she began, before the woman fell to the floor. Consciousness faded to rest, to try and wash away fatigue.

Dai ran down the halls. ...Kin! She's still here.... Dai had left the key within the private baths. Which meant the door was locked. She jiggled the door fracnticly. "KIN!" She shouted before stepping back and kicking the door down. Dai ran to Kin's side and dropped to her knees. "Please be alive." Dai scooped the woman into her arms. Placing a hand on Kin's chest and her ear close to the woman's mouth. Her breathing was faint. Was she sleep? Dai wasn't going to take any chances. Dai had to get the Kage back to the Hospital. Hoping someone could help. "You're going to be alright, Kin. I'm here." She scooped the Kage into her arms, bridal style, and stood. Dai walked over a took up Kin's clothes and arranged them so she could carry them. "Shishun no Jutsu." Dai vanished into thin air with Kin.

The highly aggravated and annoyed Sukai rushed through the entrance of the the hot springs already stripping on her way to the unisex spring, dropping her clothes were they were in the lobby. Arriving to the spring she jumped right in with a cannon ball, popping up having her nose nose above the water as she began to make bubbles. This. . . Is already relaxing.

Black followed a short distance away as he was trying to catch up with her. Seeing and feeling the annoyed aura seeping off of her he would approach with a little caution and notice her begin to strip along the way. His eyes bulging, as a red color began to grow in a bubbling manner from his chin all the way up to his eyes and his scalp. Black would pick up his Sensei's clothing and hesitantly grab her unmentionables, folding them and placing them in a booth. Grabbing towels he would set down the sushi box tied within his scarf with his surprise for her inside. Unbuttoning the one button connected on his shirt he would take it off and place it within the booth next to Suki's and strip completely and after picking up the two scrolls he had picked up off of the table from the genin earlier. Wrapping a towel around his waist he would approach the springs where it was steamed up and misty. Hearing the bubbling within the warm springs he would sit at the edge of the waters with his legs submerged within it. Sighing with his chest puffing up and slightly flexing along his abs, Black would slowly begin to sink into the warm springs with the sushi meal above his head and the scrolls as well on the edge of the springs. Placing the box behind him he would look around curiously as he placed his towel on top of his scalp to relax cooing lightly.'' Ah... Wait.. S-sensei? Where are you..?'' He asked as he would turn back and grab the box again, a light streak across his face from the warm waters. He was not as much timid or nervous as he was relaxed now.

Dai followed after Sukai and kept distance. Once able to Dai stripped away her clothing and grabbed a towel on the way out to the baths. She followed Sukai's signature to finding the sage. "Did someone take your catnip away?" Dai asked as she was crouched next to the bath and looking at Sukai. "A year away and you've already given me a cold shoulder." The Jounin tilted her head to the side. "What's wrong?"

The Sage was a bit hesitant at first, having a small steam cloud gathered around herself. She turned and swam towards Black as he entered the hot spring. She spoke in a sulking voice with her lips under the water, giving it a bubbly sound. "R-r-r-r-wight h-h-h-her-eree." Letting out a sigh she blew more bubbles, the steam around her face becoming more dense. Her ears perked as she heard someone enter the springs, she swam next to Black's side and wigged between his arm and the rock of the springs to hide. Noooo, I don't want to talk! God these damn people are annoying and persistent.

Hearing the voice speak Suki sat up straight, the steam around her and Black dissipated as she looked over to the blue haired jonin. At the comment of her catnip her ears went back and she growled lowly.
"No, . . . My kumo stalk turned sour over the year that I spent in the sage lands. . . " As Dai came closer to the two of them Sukai turned away, her eyes clouding over in thought, even after all this time it was still hard to look at her ex-best-friend. "It's. . . nothing. . ."

Looking around for her, Black would hear water rushing inwardly towards him, he would feel her presence approaching with the mist wrapped around her body and appear just in front of him, her words bubbly from being partially under water. Smiling at her reaction it seemed she had finally eased up and calmed down for once today, and his plans to make sure she relaxed today would be a success. Though upon hearing someone else approach and come near the springs, Black would squint his eyes to try and see through the mist, he did not fully recognize the woman but he did feel she was familiar looking. She wanted to see what was wrong with Suki, which showed on his Sensei she did not want to talk about it as she had made her way in between his arm and a rock next to him to hide. Leaning his head back to rest it on the edge of the springs floors he would look over towards Suki as she sat up straight. He did not understand her reply to the exact question though he'd just sit quietly and wait for her response. When Suki turned away, Black would bring turn facing her and lean a bit to the side to look at her face.'' Hm..?'' He looked curiously as he placed the box he was holding on a slightly flat rock and bring a hand to her shoulder that was closest to him and could not be mistaken for any other origin.

"Lier." Dai boldly said. Calling Sukai out on such a bad lie. Dai's eyes were hard on the sage. In the time they spent together, Dai had grown rather close to Sukai shortly after Shiro vanished. "You where never good at lying, Sukai" The Jounin stared at Sukai and sighed. "Pushing those that love you away, isn't the way to find happiness. I hope you know that." Dai stood up at turned before peeling a piece of paper from her shoulder. She stared at it for a moment and sighed before lowering her hand and dropping the piece of paper to the tile floor. "If you ever need someone, Sukai-chan." Dai began walking away. "You know where to find me." Dai vanished into the mist.

The paper moved and landed in the water. A picture of Sukai and Dai when they were younger. When they we're teamed together with Kein. Dai laughing and Sukai blushing at something that was said. A memory Dai kept with her at all times.

Sukai turned back, picking up the piece of paper from the surface of the water, using her chakra she drained it of its moisture. The medic then smiled weakly at the photo. "I'm not yet ready to talk about it. . ." Sighing she looked over to Black. "You ready to train? Cause my chakra's been eating away at me for a while now." Looking back at the photo she closed her eyes then wrapped it in a ball of swirling air. Sending it a drift away from the spring were it would be safe until she finished training, or relaxing. Whichever. Looking back at Black she signed once more. "You probably have questions don't you?"

Black listened to the conversation continue, despite it being short it shocked a curious bone inside of him; though he did not let it bother him. Daitomi was right in the sense of Suki's horrible lying skills. Seeing the paper piece fall from above and land before them, he would see the picture of three young ninja's and one looking embarrassed and a male and blue haired female. With the blue haired kunoichi leaving and with a message he sighed looking down towards his sensei's depressing look. Seeing her smile weakly towards the photo and state she was not ready to talk about it, Black would watch her sigh and look over to him.''.......'' Remaining silent to her question on training, Black would look blankly towards her and watch as she looked back towards the photo. As she placed the photo away to a safe keep, he would listen to her sighs again and question.'' .....'' His other hand would make its way around her neck to place itself on her opposite shoulder as the other rested still on her shoulder. Looking towards her eyes and locking onto them, he snatched her into a hug to try and throw her mind off by sacrificing his fears for the moment; he did not care to train he had better plans not for him but for his teacher at the moment.'' I do not. Idid not bring you here to train Suki - Sensei, I brought you here to relax. You've been under a deep deal of stress and sadness that I promised and plan to uphold since a year ago would not ever be a worry again.'' His arms wrapping around her arms lightly and rubbing her back as he felt the depressed and sadness lingering through the air; hopefully this would lighten the mood, though it would be a mystery for him and he'd have to wait for her reaction.

Sukai looked to Black and smiled at him, he was so supportive and caring. Leaning onto his shoulder she closed her eyes. "I L.....Thank you, . . .Black." Not yet Sukai, . . . now's not the time. Breathing out she nuzzled father along his shoulder to his neck. A small snicker rose from her throat, changing the mood of things she decided to n** his neck. To be honest. . . I really do think I'm falling for you. . . But this time. This time. I'm not going to mess it up, a friendship like this.
