Moment MusicThe key to being able to go into an unknown situation and surrounding and blend in as though you belonged was to ensure that as little attention was drawn to you as possible. It was one of the first lessons that came with being a ninja. Of course, Arashi wasn't one to completely follow those rules, she had gotten better at appreciating why they were in place. Not just for safety, but for ensuring that the information that could be gathered could be untainted by the constant concern of those watching.
All these people would be aware of was a chick walking in with nice legs. Making her at the very least eye-candy. Not the best thought, but better than them considering her a threat or a spy.
The poignant smell of stale drinks and sweat filled the air within the structure, made all the more apparent due to the heat that seemed to have very little way of being released from within. A shelter from the sun, but still a pit hot enough to melt a egg if left out long enough. Moving over toward a table, she'd catch a few looks, but acted as though she were used them, ignoring their near predator like gaze as she sat herself down at the bar counter.
Arms resting upon it, the kunochi would then raise her hand up, making a order for sake as she allowed herself to relax briefly. So far, everything was going well, all she needed now was to wait for her baddie.
The guy's name was Shouchi Geno...one of the many heads of the criminal underworld which ran Sekara outwardly. It was no surprise to her that so many like him existed her, considering she was more than familiar to where the true power in this place came from. But in truth, if it allowed for them to get through the mission successfully, the least they'd have to worry about was if the true broker would fall in line. It was a hope, worst case would be having to deal with her later on.
Arashi was more than aware of the agreement she had made with the woman behind the curtain, but she had not come to collect yet. At best, maybe she never would, but it would be a bit too optimistic to think that.
With those thoughts aside, she'd soon see her target, the bald man seeming to have come in with a sleeveless vest, and tattered cloth for pants. His hands were battered and bruised, with the faint scent of blood wavering around his knuckles. In noting not a scratch upon him, it was clear enough that it didn't come from him, but some poor bastard that likely got the beatdown of the century.
"Its always the pretty ones huh?"
The voice came from next to her, seeming to have taken the empty seat beside her as they grinned and held a hand up for a drink. Arashi would sigh for a moment, her eyes narrowing as she then turned to face her attempted paramour.
It was a young man, reddish hair and dark black eyes. His features were smooth, yet showing some tanning from the environment. His clothes were normal to say the least, if Arashi was to bet, he was a merchant of some kind. Across his chest seemed to be what looked like makeshift buttons to close his top, barely holding itself together from the various sizes.
"Pretty ones...being you...being in a place like this...looking for trouble..."
"Only when I want some..."
Arashi would see her glass moved toward her direction, her hazel eyes shifting away from the man as she looked toward her glass. Honestly, the last thing she wanted was a drink, especially since aside from special occasions, she wasn't much for doing so. Still, in order to put up the front she was going for, she had to play the part. Yet in doing this, she'd continue to keep her ears alert for Geno, hearing him greet his friends in the back of the dive bar. But soon enough, the red head would speak again, his face leaning in as he almost whispered into her ear.
"Is that what you want?"
-S.A Used-
Ultimate Defense
A Skill granted by her continued use and developed relationship with Shukaku over the continued use of his control over sand, Arashi has a stronger connection to the element, allowing her to use it at a much more intensive rate than before. As such, her defenses are much more adapt and capable of taking on stronger attacks and reinforcing itself at faster speed. This adaptation to the sand shield allows for it's reaction time to have increased and make it more challenging for attacks to connect and break through the first layer, while acting still on the natural inclinations of auto-repairing itself for the next strike.
