Chapter 2

Neji woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs. He slowly opened his eyes, and sat up from his position on the bed he slept in the night before. He squinted, ajusting to the light, before fully opening his eyes and surveying his surroundings. He was in a small hotel room with two beds, a small desk with a lamp, a dresser, and two doors. One leading to a small, but adequate bathroom, and the other leading to the hallway outside of the room.

He looked towards the bed beside his own, and noticed that it was un-made, and without a personel accomadating it. He found Kakashi sitting in a chair across from him reading his orange smut. Neji rolled his pupiless eyes, before getting up from his seating position, and stretching. Kakashi looked up from his book at him and greeted, "Morning sunshine," before sticking his nose back into his book.

Neji flinched at the nickname, and glared at him through his book. He then turned his attention to the slow approaching steps, that were headed towards their door. Kakashi put his book back into his back pocket before slowly making his way towards the door himself.

"What are-," but Neji was cut off by the knocking on their door, just as Kakashi reached it. He opened the door to reveal a girl that looked a year or two younger than Neji, looking up at them, with a pleasent smile on her face. She had snow white hair and dark onyx eyes. She wore a black cloak around her, hiding her body from view.

"How may we help you young miss?" asked Kakashi politely towards the girl. Neji just watched, and waited for the answer.

"I was just here to inform you that there was breakfast ready in the dinning room, if you wanted to have some," she said with a grin, before it slightly falltering while she murmured under her breath, "before the other pigs eat it all up."

Kakashi chuckled playfully, before returning his answer to the girl, "We will be there in a few minutes, after we change." The girl nodded and pointed to a door down the hallway, towards the opposite direction of the reception desk.

"It's that door, when your ready, I'll try my best to save you both a plate before it's gone," she said before she departed with a small bow, and heading off in the direction she pointed to, the moment before. When she was out of sight, Kakashi closed his door so that he and Neji could change into a new pair of clothes that they brought with them.

The girl entered the dinning room, which was nicely lite with lights, because it didn't have any windows to allow light to come in. In the dinning room, were a couple of the guests eat happily while talking to each other. They all knew that when inside the Sakura Hotel, they could relax and enjoy themselves for the short time being.

She made her her way into the door, from the dinning room, that lead to the small kitchen. Inside she found both of her partners and friends, Keiko and Sakura. They were currently cooking, they never loved the art of cooking, but were good at it nevertheless. They had to make a mealfor both their new guests, Hyuuga Neji and Hayate Kakashi, but ofcourse they were going to make their first meal for the,a little more... interesting for lack of better term, for both of them. They were going to add certain... drugs, as one would put it, into their food to make it more interesting for the trio in the kitchen. They never had two famous ninjas from leaf before, in their hotel, much less at the same time. They weren't sure why they were here, in this small, felon infested town, but they were going to make sure that for whatever reason they were here, be it mission or travelling through, they, the trio, were going to make it as hard, or in this case hilarious, time for them.

The Sakura Hotel didn't take kindly to shinobi, but the more money, the better. Theynever said they couldn't have a little fun. Leiko, being the one who just entered the kitchen from telling the duo that breakfast would be ready soon, walked over to her friends and asked, "Is it ready yet? And what exactly did you put in them?" she said pointing to the dishes, which were now filled with the usual food they served, but meant what type of drugs they used.

Keiko looked up fromthe dish she was creating, before grinning sadistically and saying cryptically, "You'll see," and then chuckling to herself, madly. Sakura just rolled her eyes at the response before saying herself,

"We added some... 'things', that will surely... 'turn' there jobs a lot more difficult," she concluded with a small grin of her own while Keiko started a full blown laughter. Leiko just sighed knowing that she wouldn't get a straight answer out of either of the two, so she just asked

"Wait turn? Does that mean it's a potion? Are they undetectable? They look like jounin by their vests. And if the potions are undetectable, then are they done?" she asked with must enthusiasm and anticipation. Sakura did her finishing touches on the plate, by adding a slimy dreen substance to the food froma bottle she carried in her cloak. The substance dissapeared before their eyes, being absorbed by the food, while not showing a single sign that there was anything wrong or different about it. She then turned her attention to Leiko before sighing and replying,

"Yes, it's done. The rest of your questions will be answered by the nins, themselves," she finished before handing her the plate she made,along with the one Keiko made too. "Now set those in the dinning room and wait for them to arrive, and if they're already there, then just set them in front of them. We'll be out there in a minute with our own food," she said before turning away while Leiko nodded and headed out the door with the food.

When she entered the dinning room, she found their two new guests sitting silently while waiting for their food. She stopped behind them and placed their food in front of them while they turned to her, as if they just noticed her in the room. "Your food's served," she said with a small mock bow before seating herself in front of them on the opposite side of the table.

"Thank you," said Kakashi when she was seated, but continued after he saw that she had no food of her own in front of her, "don't you have food too?" She just giggled in reply, as if ammused by his comment. Not a moment later, the doors from the kitchen opened. The duo, also known as Kakashi and Neji, turned to look at the new occupants of the room, only to find one woman with black hair, that resembled the darkness, and pure white eyes. She wore the same type of cloak as Leiko did, not revealing her body at all except her hands when she placed her dish in front of a seat beside Leiko, and seating herself in the chair aswell. Leiko looked down at her plate and then asked childishly,

"What about me?" she also added some fake tears that were swelling up into her eyes. By this time the rest of the geusts were watching with ammused eyes, obviously used to their small confrontation. Keiko sighed, and then said back with a grin,

"Oops! I forgot! Sorry, guess you'll have to go hungry then," she then started digging into her food while the two boys were watching as Leiko's sad act turned into a small pout, with her arms folded across her chest. The duo kekkei genkkai wielders turned their attention back to the door when they heard it open again.

This time they saw the figure of a small woman, about the age of the other two, walk in through the door. She wore the same cloak, except that on this one, there was a small pattern of cherry blossoms on the bottom-right side. The hood was up so they couldn't see her face. She carried in two plates of food, when they heard the other geusts bow to her when she entered, saying, "Good morning Sakura-San," and then waiting her reply of a quick, 'Good morning to you too,' before continuing to eat again. Kakashi and Neji glanced at each other before thinking simultaneously, 'Sakura, that's the name of the owner of the hotel' they turned back to her as she sat down in front of the, on the other side of Leiko. She also placed one plate in front of herself, and the other in front of her partner in... crime?

"Thank you for allowing us to stay at your hotel Sakura-San," said Kakashi with a small bow of his head. Neji followed suit, and did the same. She just chuckled at their formality, while her other two friends were snickering to themselves. Sakura just waved their formality off with her hand and replied,

"It was my pleasure, now please, enjoy the food," she finished, and started pulling off her hood to eat. When her hood was down, the boys were astonished to say the least. She had cherry blossom hair with bright emerald eyes, which were now looking at them with amusement. "Well?" she asked. "Aren't you going to eat?"

They both broke out of their trance like state at her voice, and started eating as well, only after they had started eating, did it occur to them that they should have checked it for poison. They froze in their motion, utensils still in their mouths. Leiko and Keiko were both laughing and rolling around on the ground on the inside, but that would give them away, so they settled for snickering behind their hands while Sakura spoke again.

"Do not worry, we have no intention of poisoning you," she paused and then added just for the fun of it, "yet." Both boys already knew that if it were poisoned, then there would be no saving them, they had already digested have of their plates before noticing. They decided that they had enough, and that the girls truly didn't have any reason to poison them, much less with their other guests still at the table on the other side of the room, before standing, bowing to Sakura once more, and then heading out to the pub, to see if they could get any information for their mission from in there. They walked towards the bar, expecting a rugged looking pub like any other in small towns like these. The hotel had been quite the find, but when they entered the bar, the first thing they noticed was how clean and tidy it looked.

It quite resembled the bar at Kohona infact; a bar table with a marble counter and with stools around it, tables set up around the room with chairs aroung them too. The only thing that they noticedthat wasn't like Kohona, was the fact that most of the men in there were rugged and felon looking. Unfortunetly, for them, they had to try and fit in, so they took a seat a an empty table in one of the deserted corners of the room, to talk and listen for information from the other groups of men.

They heard little talk and gossip,but even when they did hear some, it was about nothing that was connected to their mission, just about the hotel owners! They could both hear one of the bulky men in the other corner say to his company about them, "They say the three hotel owners were once called the famous Blossoms, the Death Blossom, the Purity Blossom, and their leader, the Cherry Blossom. They also say that they killed on numerous acounts and were assasins hired by lords of all kinds!" exclaimed the man in a whisper. Another one of the men leaned in and asked,

"And who would 'they' be? The ones giving you the information, I mean," he elaborated. The first man shrugged and then replied,

"Just from the gossip that goes around these parts. That's probably why their so well respected, but I also saw one of them beat up a man that had caused some sort of trouble, in this here bar," said the first man again.

"I heard that they are in some sort of organization," said another whispering now, but Kakashi and Neji both heard, and leaned a little closer too, to hear if they could catch from what, or any information. It was the only lead they had sofar, and they unconciously made a mental note to themselves to watch the little owners of the hotel closely. They were probably just a small organization, or in a small group, but that was more of a lead than nothing.

" I heard they were called the-"
