 Misuki SindoueSindoue clan | Suna | ChuuninMisuki ate in silence as she continued to listen to the variety of sounds around her. Hearing someone greet them, Misuki turned her head slightly to catch a glimps of the person approaching them. 'Wow, that's alot of purple.' Mouth filled with food, Misuki was unable to respond immediately to the young girl but it would seem uneccessy since Havik was quick to greet the girl and start a conversation with her. Suddenly feeling a bit uncomfortable as if she was intruding or something, Misuki was relieved when Deil took the lead and directed them towards the hotsprings. "See you later Havik-san, thanks again for the food."
Reaching the reception area, Misuki showed the necklace she had recieved earlier from Kage to the receptionist. Nodding her head in understanding, the receptionist told them that they were good to go. Once Hikaru caught up to them, Misuki wondered if they should go to the mixed or seperate springs. Turning to face her student, Misuki spoke in a soft somewhat nervous voice as she spoke her question out loud. "Hikaru-san, would you feel comfortable if we were to head into a mixed hot spring? or would you perfer to head into seperate springs?"

 Tsukiakari HikaruSunagakure| Ato Sakura No Ki No | Genin"Hmmm?" Hikaru looked up, seemingly confused and lost in thought. He had been pondering how ti was that Kage had some kind of system set up where a necklace denoted free stuff in the village for those who bore it. It seemed almost to foreshadow the fact that she expected something like this to happen, and had confused him. after having been lost in thought however, trying to map out a path in his mind where such a system would make sense, he somewhere unconsciously caught wind of what Misuki was saying, and looked up to realize where he was once more...
"Oh, right... ummm, I guess it's okay. I've never been in a public springs setting before, but I suppose if that's what they do around here, then it's best to experience new things right?" Hikaru wasn't quite sure of how much of what he just said he meant, but he figured it couldn't be all that bad. He certainly had nothing to be ashamed of, and he wouldn't imagine a taijutsu like Deil would either. though sharing a springs bath with his sensei who happened to be rather attractive and also look very similar to his dead older sister... well, that might be a little weird. But he held that all inside and smiled so as not to disappoint or seem out of place.
 "I will not allow my family to be destroyed."

Misuki SindoueSindoue clan | Suna | ChuuninMisuki glanced worriedly at Hikaru when she heard the slight uncertainty in his voice but seeing him smile, Misuki relaxed somewhat but still remained concern. Giving Hikaru a sorta sisterly look, Misuki spoke in a soft voice, "You know Hikaru-san, you don't have to force youself to do something that's going to make you feel uncomfortable alright? I'm certainly fine with going into the female spings but if you insist, I guess the three of us can head into the mixed and if at anytime you feel uncomfortable just get up and head over to the males section okay? And I'm sure Deil will follow right after you too in order to keep you company." Turning her head to face Deil, she gave him a silent signal to agree to what she had just said. 'Afterall, I would hate to make my student feel uncomfortable in his first night at a new place.'

Deil Grist
Sand Village|Chuunin|Taijutsu Class|Genjuu Kinzoku Bloodline
ROOT [Leaf Recovery Effort]Theme Song: If Today Was Your Last Day Deil nodded in agreement with Misuki, and clapped Hikaru on the shoulder. "Yeah, just do what makes you comfortable. We do enough uncomfortable things as it is, what with being ninja and all." he said. He also caught Misuki's glance, and he had no problem staying with Hikaru if he felt uncomfortable. He honestly wouldn't be bothered if he did not get to spend time with Misuki in the hotsprings, because they would always be open another day. "So, Hikaru, which would you prefer?" he asked in a carefree voice.

Tsukiakari HikaruSunagakure| Ato Sakura No Ki No | GeninHikaru smiled lightly at both of their concerns and was appreciative of their willingness to comply to his comfort level, but he felt that he should still join them in the mixed springs. Just because it was never something he had done, or something that he might feel uncomfortable doing, didn't mean that he shouldn't still experience it. Having taken a few seconds to come to this conclusion while they waited, Hikaru finally nodded to them and widened his smile a bit. He was glad to have made friends and comrades with people who would so carefully consider his needs as a foreigner to the ninja lifestyle. It was beginning to look to him as if his previous views of who ninja were was quickly being turned around...
"Thank You both, but I will be fine, I'm sure. We're a team, so we should feel comfortable around each other right? If we're going to work together, we might as well relax together as well." His smile growing wider, Hikaru allowed himself to feel more at ease around his comrades as his smile took a strangely playful look to it as he was beginning to feel a deeper friendship with Misuki and Deil, allowing him to be more of his natural self around them, allowing him to make one final remark with an amused smile on his face... "Just as long as Deil keeps his towel on."
"I will not allow my family to be destroyed."

Deil was glad Hikaru had found a way to become able to put himself outside his comfort zone. In battle, that would allow the young samurai to be somewhat unpredictable in a fight, despite being infamous for their repetivness. It would also open more doors that otherwise may have been closed to him.
"Alright, mixed it is!" he said, but then caught that last little bit Hikaru said. "Hey, why am I the only one wearing a towel in the springs?" he asked as he led the way into the men`s wash and changing room. After all, shouldn`t Misuki be the one wearing the towel? Deil proceeded to strip down and wash to get ready for the springs as he jokingly waited for a reply.

Tsukiakari HikaruSunagakure| Ato Sakura No Ki No | GeninHikaru could only laugh at the way that Deil had misconstrued his words, allowing a good sized laugh to pass his lips as he followed Deil into the men's bathing/changing room. What Hikaru had meant was not that they would have all taken their towels off except Deil, but rather jsut to ensure that Deil kept his towel on period. Of course, he and Misuki would still keep their towels on... well, so long as that was what was done around here.
Quickly shaking the thought from his head, Hikaru followed Deil's lead, stripping down casually, placing his garments in a basket before washing up at one of the many washing stations. He hadn't realized how dirty the traveling had made him and he was glad that they had stopped once he realized how dirty he was. He was actually a bit surprised that it had not bothered him earlier to have been so dirty, but he supposed it was due to the fact that travel and combat seemed to have shifted his thinking from a relaxed mode to a much more serious mood. Now was a time to relax however as Hikaru finished washing up, finding a towel nearby as he wrapped it securely around his waist... "Haha, I meant for everyone to keep their towels on, but especially for you to do so... not that either Misuki or I would remove ours. That would be kind of awkward... for many reasons."
Looking at Hikaru, one would not say that he was particularly muscular, but he was definitely solid. He had clearly trained in combat all of his life and was healthily built, but his held a leaner look to it as he focused more on speed and finesse, over strength. he was still clearly stronger then most though. What was much more distinct however were the scars, as he mad numerous deep cuts and wounds across his upper body and arms. They were all clear signs that he had been in battle many times and had seen much of war... and that not all of the wounds had received had been able to be healed before the scars could set into the skin, indicating long journeys away from available medical treatment.
His body was more or less a map to his world and to his past, which would no doubt make anyone who saw him curious to hear his story. Hikaru however seemed not to be phased by the scars or embarrassed by them at all as he wore a smile, picking up his basket, placing Daichi within it, but carrying his katana, Kazesenkou by his side, apparently not willing to part with it, even on their way out to the springs. "Ready to go when you are."
"I will not allow my family to be destroyed."

Misuki SindoueSindoue clan | Suna | ChuuninAt Hikaru's words, Misuki could feel her worries slowly disappear and smiled happy to know that her student was able to open up and feel comfortable around the two of them. Giggling softly at Hikaru's towel comment, Misuki could only laugh more at Deil's misinturperation of Hikaru's words. Waving bye to the two boys as they headed off to the men's change room and bath, Misuki decided to go get ready herself.
Making her way promptly to the women's change room and bath, Misuki casually grabbed an empty basket and towel from the counter as she headed towards the many cubbies used for storage. Placing the basket on one of the benches, Misuki began tapping a beat with her right foot as she finally allowed herself to turn off her headset and set it aside first in the basket. Next, Misuki went on to removing the rest of her clothes, making sure to always keep some sort of beat going. 'It's at times like these that I find this bloodline of my annoying.' Still tapping a slow, steady rhythm with her right foot, Misuki took a bell from her travel bag before tieing it around her right wrist. 'Just in case,' Wrapping her towel tight around her, Misuki placed her basket safely in one of the many cubby holders before strolling over to the baths.
Never forgetting to keep a beat going, Misuki changed to tapping with her left foot as she scrubbed and washed herself clean from her earlier travels. 'Hm...seems I've picked up a lot of sand and dust today. Must've been from the fi-argh!' Wincing slightly as the soap made contact with her earlier wound. 'I should really get that healed. But not now, I'll do it later once I've rest up.' Finished with her washing, Misuki grabbed her towel and securely wrapped it around herself. Satisfied that it was tight enough and most of all secure, Misuki held on to it with her right hand while snapping a steady beat with her left.
Reaching the door, Misuki was about to change from using her left hand to create a beat to her right foot when the door suddenly opened revealing two girls around her age. Allowing her to go though first, Misuki thanked them both sincerely before walking through. Feeling the cool night air connect with her wet body made Misuki shiver slightly as she quickly made her way over to the inviting hot springs. Slipping into the springs slowly, Misuki felt her body tense at the sudden rise in temperture but slowly relaxed as it familiarized itself with the heat level. Lowering herself a bit more, Misuki was once again reminded of her earlier battle wound as a shocking pain emitted through her right shoulder when touched by the hot water. Holding in her pain, Misuki fully lowered herself into the hot springs but kept her left hand out as she needed to keep producing a beat. Leaning against the edge, Misuki wondered to herself just what was taking the boys so long to get out.

Deil laughed too at how he had misunderstood Hikaru, and proceeded to scour the sweat and grime from his body. His feet especially, because there had been times when he had had to drag them through the sand due to his exaustion. His brow furrowed in annoyance at the pain caused by washing the cut where his bone had stopped the sword, and his forehead the arrow. He had to wash gently to keep from opening the wounds again, because the acid caused him to have weak skabbs. "What, are you afraid I`ll make you look bad?" he asked, and made his muscles ripple for effect as he washed. He looked up, and saw Hikaru`s impressive display of battle `rewards`. Deil was relativly new to combat, but it was obvious that Hikaru`s experience made up for the slim build. "Don`t worry Hikaru, women find men that look like they sleep with swords irresistable." Deil was glad he had bathed, because everything smelled so much cleaner. Deil guessed that he hadn`t been the best smelling person in the world when they got here, and was glad for the chance to be clean. He wrapped the towel around his waist and made sure it was secure. He then gathered all his things into a cubby. "Yeah, I`m ready." he said, and opened the door. He stepped out into the cool night air, and was enjoying it greatly. He quickly slid into the hot water, preferring to get it over with. "UHHHhhhhh." he groaned in half "Oh, that`s HOT!" to the other half, "Oh that`s gooooood." He looked up at Misuki from across the small pool. "Finally, so relaxing, right?" He would have sat next to her, but he was afraid that a more romantic enviornment would make Hikaru feel more akward in an already semi-akward situation.

Tsukiakari HikaruSunagakure| Ato Sakura No Ki No | GeninSmiling at Deil's antics, Hikaru didn't even try to flex back at him in competition... it would have been no use. He simply wasn't built like Deil was, but then again, what he lacked in raw power, he made up for in speed and finesse. Just differences in training and preference he supposed, but he still laughed at the show-boating all the same. On his comment on what women found appealing, Hikaru could only nod as he really had nothing to say on the matter. As a bodyguard and prince, women were not an option over all of the other duties of the family and household. It was possible that perhaps he might have been joined with another by arrangement, but truthfully it was never something he had even thought about much. Much of his life had been spent training or fighting anyways to preserve his family.
As Deil walked out of the wash area, leading out to the springs where he saw Misuki had already arrived, Hikaru allowed himself to be pulled out of his deep and somewhat depressing thought at the amusing whining before him as Deil got into the hot water. Being more patient to get in, Hikaru first found a spot near the edge of the pool where he set down his basket with his garments and Daichi inside, and laid Kazesenkou carefully next to it. Once he was satisfied that they would not move, or be accidentally splashed, he got into the springs, sucking up the sudden heat of the water with a slight wince before he completely submerged himself, his long blue hair floating on top of the water until he came up gently, a peaceful look on his face as he closed his eyes and leaned back agaisnt the wall of the pool which was across from both Misuki and Deil.
Not really knowing what to do next, Hikaru simply relaxed as he wasn't sure what kind of conversation was held in the hot springs. "I mean what does one say when you're in a towel, across from your sensei... in a towel, and your newly found comrade... also, solely in a towel." It was all still somewhat strange to him, but he tried to relax as he stayed submerged up to his neck in the springs, allowing the heated water to sooth him after his long travel and the fight they had engaged in earlier.
"I will not allow my family to be destroyed."

Rei takes the mop and begins mopping the changing area. He takes the time to meditate and relax his body. He focuses on the swish of the mop. He finishes mopping and enters the hot springs still dressed ignoring the stares of the patrons. He gets to his knees and uses the brush to scrap scum and filth from the surface of the spring. He takes a shuriken, skins his finger to reveal bone. He then removes his shirt and climbs into the water. He then submerges himself to clean the underwater surface holding his cut hand up in the air. after almost 30 minutes he rises from the water. He steps out, dries of with a towel and puts his shirt back on. He then exits the springs with the cleaning supplies. He stuffs it back in the closet and leaves the building.

Misuki SindoueSindoue clan | Suna | ChuuninStill snapping a steady beat to help keep her heartbeat going, Misuki allowed her mind to drift off to thoughts pertaining to their mission. 'I wonder just what exactly will be expected of us here? With so many people coming in and out of the village lately, it must be hard to keep track of it all, wonder if our mission has something to do with that?' The sound of a door sliding open, awoken Misuki from her thoughts as she turned to see both Deil and Hikaru enter the springs. Fighting back the light blush that was forming at seeing both, mainly Deil's, well defined upper body, Misuki sank lower into the hotsprings and quickly pushed those thoughts away. Though, between the two of them, what really caught Misuki's attention were the many battle scars that covered most of her student's upper body and arms. 'To think that he's around the same age as us and already his body is covered in battle scars. To have seen so much war and lived through it all must've been tough, as well as draining, both physically and mentally. Makes me wonder how if I could've ever survived the sorta lifestyle he had till now.'
Hearing Deil's somewhat exagerated comments upon entering the warm spring water, made Misuki giggle and remember the reason for their trip to the hot springs. 'We're here to relax, so why bother troubling myself with such thoughts.' Smiling at both Deil and her student as they slipped in, Misuki nodded in a silent response to Deil as she switched her snapping hand with to her left. All but the sound of her snapping and their regulated breathing could be heard as silence decended upon the small group of three. Not being able to handle the silence, Misuki decided to strike up some sort of conversation that might be of some interest to the group. "So, now that we've reached chuunin level, have you considered getting yourself a summoning Deil?" Turning to face her student, Misuki quickly went on to a short explaination of the term 'summoning' just in case Hikaru hasn't studied up on it yet. "Sorry if the question caught you off guard Hikaru-san, summonings are creatures that shinobi like us can form blood contracts with in order to request their aid for various things such as battle." Returning her attention to Deil, Misuki looked at him expectantly, "So? What will it be if you had to choose?"
