Two figures sat comfortably on the floor with a low table between them in a dimly lit room. One of the figures held a cup of sake, and was leaning on the table. Allowing the other to get a nice view of her large bosom. Sadly for her, the male was hard to seduce. It wasn't that he didn't have...Needs. It was merely that she wasn't his type. She wore to much make up and was to...Big. Both her bosom and her personality was big, and that wasn't the figure was looking for.

The first figure, the female, was Tsunade Senju. She was the owner of a prostitution house, although she was never a prostitute herself. Tsunade had to much pride to ever be such a thing, although she had no problem selling girls who didn't have the same pride as she did. Of course, Tsunade knew that some girls had to get over their pride to survive. Most of her girls were run aways or kicked out of their houses, meaning that they had to come to her. After all she offered them to live rent free, eat for free, and all she asked in return was...Well, their bodies.

The second figure was Neji Hyuga. He was the king of the land that this establishment resided on. Neji didn't have a wife, but the council was pressuring him to have a son. At first he had tried to ignore them, but the council made that hard to do. They already thought little of him since he comes from the Side Branch despite having brought the kingdom from the brink of poverty. All the council could see was the 'X' the was on his forehead under his headband. Neji was never one for emotions. He had partners, and that was it. And he knew the council wanted a boy. So to appease them, he'd take on a prostitute. He knew this would shock them, and they'd be enraged. But he was just following their orders, after all. Neji smirked at that thought.

"You haven't even touched your glass of Sake Hyuga-Sama. Does the bottle not please you?" Neji let out a sigh at Tsunade's words. He knew what she was doing. Tsunade was a power hungry woman. She craved more and more power. And what better way to get power than try to get the king drunk and get pregnant by him?

"I'm afraid I'm merely here for business, Tsunade," Neji wasn't one for beating around the bush, especially when he wanted to just get in and out. "My carriage is waiting outside still, and I have important meetings to conduct."

His words didn't please Tsunade, and it took everything in her power not to strangle him. But doing so would lead to her death, even with her brute strength and her medical expertise. She knew that's the only reason was Neji let her establishment stay in his lands. So he could have some control over her should the need for her abilities arise. And she hated the fact that it worked.

Instead, she merely sighed in disappointment and placed her chin in her hands. "I figured as such. Shizune!" Tsunade's dark haired assistant came in before bowing to her betters, making sure that her forehead touched the ground. "Go fetch Neji's 'package'. I think he'll be thoroughly impressed." Tsunade said with a grin.

Shizune nodded before skittering away, and Neji rose an eyebrow. He had figured that Tsunade's assistant would be someone just as loud as her. Not someone so...Mouse-like. Granted, Tsunade's ego might get hurt if she had to deal with someone as loud and obnoxious as her every day.

"The girl I bring you will bring the perfect hair, Hyuga-Sama," Tsunade said, and the certainty in her voice caused Neji to raise an eyebrow. "She's from the Wind kingdom. She had tried to make it as a kunoichi there, but ended up fleeing." It was no secret that the Wind kingdom had a great shinobi force...But they didn't have very many kunoichi. This was because the males would rape the females, and no one would interfere. In the King's eyes, the kunoichi were doing their duty. To Neji, it was a vile and desperate act. If one has to resort to such lengths to sexually satisfy themselves, one most likely doesn't deserve it. In his kingdom, The Fire Kingdom, such an act would be punishable by death. Consent has to be from both parties, not just one or the other.

Neji turned to the door as it slid open...And he was surprised at the woman who came walking in. A pink floral kimono fitted the woman's body perfectly, showing off a nice toned body. A slit in the legs allowed a tanned leg to peak out as she walked forward and bowed to them. As the girl lifted her face though, Neji knew he would have to be careful around her. She held a small smile and a calm expression on her face, and she knew just why Tsunade thought she would be perfect for him.

Neji has learned over time that some women wear their hearts on their sleeves. The go about showing every emotion they feel. And he has also learned that some woman hide their hearts to the point that they seem as if they don't have one. This woman was the latter. It didn't take Neji's Byakugan to see that the smile was an act, but she did it so flawlessly. If Neji wasn't so well versed in politics, he might have fallen for it.

"Tenten here is one of my favorite prostitutes." Tsunade said with a grin as she stood up. "Especially among those with more power than the common man. Her lineage is also interesting, since she's the last of the people from the Dragon kingdom."

Now that cause Neji's eyes to widen. The Dragon kingdom had been a force to be reckoned with back in old times. It is said that they had pet dragons, and forged their weapons out of said dragons' scales. They used to live high up in the mountains and were the strongest kingdom...Until all of the other kingdoms banned together and took them out. They found the thought of one kingdom having so much power unnerving. So they destroyed the kingdom. They burned every house down, and killed any person who stood in their way...

But apparently, someone escaped. Otherwise he wouldn't be looking into the doe brown eyes of one of the women from the country. The kingdom was wiped out about two generations before Neji, so he figured that her family probably hid in the Wind kingdom. Neji stood and made his way towards her, circling her much like a shark does before going in for the kill. As he did this the smile on her face dropped, but she didn't show any emotions except calmness. Her hair was put into two buns at the top of her hair, something that was odd since most girls liked to show off their locks.

Except kunoichi, Neji reminded himself.

"What's your name?" Neji finally asked. He wasn't just going to buy her to have his kid without even speaking to her.

"Tenten Doragon." Her voice was as smooth as the silk that she wore, which merely made Neji look at her more critically.

Heavenly Dragon, huh? Neji chuckled and shook his head. She doesn't seem so heavenly in this whore house. He thought to himself.

"I'll take her." Neji said as he turned his attention towards Tsunade. "What's your price?"

"Merely send a few of your friends my way, and I'll be happy." Tsunade said with a smirk. "I will have a carriage arranged for her. She will make her way towards your home in a hour or so, and will be there no later than nightfall." Tsunade said with a grin.

All the while, the dragon was standing there with her head held low. The first emotion showing in her eyes. Hatred.
