"Is that everyone?" The taxi cab driver politely inquires to the four ladies, who quickly pile inside of the tight backseat of the cab.
"Yes, can you please take us to the Dollhouse, sir?" Temari rapidly disclosed the group destination after she identified the driver to be male.
The driver arches one of his eyebrows at their location before he turns his focus back on to the road at hand.
"$5 says he's going to ask why we are going there." Temari softly whispered in a low tone with her left hand cupped at her mouth so the driver could not see her talk.
Ino was merely rolling her eyes, Sakura simply shrugging her shoulders and Hinata was only covering her mouth to prevent giggles from escaping her mouth.
"So do you mind if I ask exactly why you ladies are going to such a…interesting place?" The cab driver curiously posed about the reason as to why the girls were in route to the Dollhouse.
Temari secretly signals the other girls with a wave of her right hand to remain silent and permit her handle the situation.
"We heard that they're hosting a Ladies' Night or Ladies Appreciation Night. So we were just curious as to what goes on inside of the Dollhouse." She then falsely claimed with a genuine expression on her face.
The cab driver directs his attention from the streets of Konohagakure to the rear view mirror that encompasses his current passengers.
"They say that the Dolls on display at the Dollhouse are women of such refine beauty that their presence alone is legendary. Their performance instantly transfixes men and transports them to their utopia where every single fantasy is fulfill in an enigmatic way." He vividly describes what potentially lies in the Dollhouse.
The girls were stealthily exchange stares with each another at how eloquently he was labelsing them or rather the dancers of the Dollhouse.
"From the way you talk about them, it almost sounds as if you were at one of their shows…" Temari purposely mentioned as she carefully observed his future expression to her statement.
The taxi cab driver shakes his head left and right before he explains, "No, I only had some friends who went once for a Bachelor's party. I usually have the overnight shift that runs through their show time."
"Why not miss a day? I'm sure it will be well worth your time." Temari was attempting to further baiting him in just so she could toy with him a little more.
"Unfortunately, I can't because I'm so far behind on my rent. Besides, this job is going pretty well for me." He expounds further on to the reason why he could not attend a show.
"Ah poor kid," Sakura commented since she understood what it meant to have a good job that covered all of your needs and the sacrifices that came with it.
The sight of the Dollhouse soon enters the driver and his customers' vision, which prompts him to broadcast that they have arrive at their location.
"Yo kid, what's your name?" Temari was requesting for the driver's name after finally exiting from the back of the cab.
"It's Jun," He properly introduces himself to the dirty blonde woman with obsidian pupils.
"Consider yourself lucky that I have VIP tickets for tonight's show…" She offers up to the driver, whose face lights up at the rare opportunity to attend a show.
"How? I mean wow that's nice of you to do but why?!" Jun nervously stutters out of awe as he happily accepts the generous offer.
A smirk appears on her face as she pushes herself away from the window, winks at the young man and asserts "After all, you did just pay a rather nice compliment to four of the six Dolls about our performance."
Jun speedily peered up from the tickets only to see the backs of the women, who hopped out of his cab. 'No freaking way!'
"Count that as a random act of kindness on Temari's part." Ino was teasingly announcing as she was dramatically clapping her hands together.
"What can I say?" Temari interjects with a shrug of her shoulders and her eyes close before she chimes in with, "I do have a heart."

Asuma's ears unexpectedly perked up at the sudden rush of conversation along with a herd of footsteps that traveled in his direction.
"Kakashi, let's go greet our kids!" He was eagerly declaring while Kakashi was simply rolling his eyes at his comrade's statement.
"From the looks of it, you all seemed to have really enjoyed your little unapproved lunch break…" Asuma purposely jaws as he stands in the middle of the aisle with his arms across his chest.
Kakashi merely places his left arm on the top of the cubicle wall of his neighbor and leans a little ways in to the aisle.
"Oh great, mom and dad is here to lecture us again." Kiba audibly mumbled under his breath as he slid his hands inside of his pockets.
Everyone, except Sasuke, erupts in to laughter at the joke and instantly ceases once Asuma clears his throat.
"If you all haven't completed at least one round in the gun range in less than…" He briefly pauses in the middle of his sentence, lifts his arm, checks his watch, reads the time and reveals "…five minutes then you all will be on night service duty."
This was enough to light a very short fuse underneath the young men in front of them as they swiftly take off in the direction of the range along with shouts of, "I don't want night duty!" "It's so boring!" "Nothing ever happens on that watch!" "Move out my way, losers!"
"Threatening them with night duty when there are already people assigned to that watch…didn't know you had it in you, Asuma." Kakashi genuinely complimented with an expression of satisfaction on his face.
He then faces his slate haired friend, shrugs his shoulders, and admits, "Eh...what can I say…it was all your doing anyway."
"And for some reason, I'm pretty proud of the fact that I was used for inspiration." Kakashi expressed his pride since he was being modeled after.
"Don't get all cheeky on me…"

"Aah…this feels so good!" Karin was lazily mumbling as the hands of the masseuse was working wonders on her tense muscles in her back.
'I haven't pampered myself like this since…' She momentarily halts in the middle of her statement when she feels herself about to stroll down memory lane.
'I can't allow those thoughts to upset me now.' The red head easily redirected her thoughts to the more positive aspects of her life instead of the negative ones.
A smile tugged at the corner of her lips when her mind traveled back to the Dollhouse, specifically the women, who all had earned the title of Doll at the establishment.
"Hey Karin, you said you liked to dance right?" A friend, a term she loosely used for anyone foolish enough to even associate themselves with her.
"Who told you that lie?!" A younger version of Karin irritatably snaps at the person in front of her before a flyer covers her joint.
Her eyes inspect the glossy advertisement that has information about an "Open Call" explicitly for women who are eighteen years or older.
The red head slid the end of the joint against her lips before she directed the conversation back to the reason why she sent him out on a mission.
"Yeah, yeah whatever, do you have the lighter or what?"
He dugged inside of one of his army fatigue cargo pockets and produced a silver canister with a skull engraved in it.
Karin reaches out to take a hold of the lighter when her friend snatches it out of her reach.
"So are you going to go or not?" Her friend persistently inquires while he tightly holds on to the lighter until he finally hears the correct answer to his question.
Karin was rolling her eyes at her friend's antics, removing the joint from her lips, dropping her shoulders, peering up at the boy and responsing with a "Fine".
"Tsk, can't believe you were about to blow my high before I even got one." She grumbles at the boy after she returns the joint back to her lips, flicks the lighter's top, lights the end of the bud, inhales the THC and blows it in the boy's face.
Karin examined the item and stated, "Oh yeah…this that good shit."
'And now look at where I ended up since I was forced to make that decision to go to that stupid open call. I guess I should thank that boy if I could ever remember his name.'

Kurenai was emerging from backstage and noticing Tenten walking inside of the Dollhouse with her blue duffle bag on her shoulder.
Before she could addressed the brunette, someone loudly shouted at the top of their lungs, "Tenten!"
The namesake turns to see a dirty blonde woman runs in her direction and encloses her in a tight hug, "Oh Tenten, how I have missed you so?"
"She just took her happy pills a few minutes ago." Ino was mentioning as she was carrying a plastic bag within her grasps before including, "I'm sure this side of her will die down pretty fast if you serve her a shot of Tequila. Then it will really turn in to something nasty."
Temari faces the platinum blonde woman, tugs her lower right eye socket down with her index finger and sticks her tongue out at the woman. "Tequila is a rookie party girl's drink where the rush of alcohol will leave you over the toilet puking your brains out."
"Isn't that right Sakura?" She threw her question out to the rosy haired woman, who tried her best to stay out of the blondes' interaction with one another.
She was quickly saved when Ino suddenly interrupted, "Don't you answer that question, Sakura!"
A sigh of relief was escaping her mouth while whispering a "Thank goodness, I wasn't included" underneath her breath before separating herself from the two.
Kurenai rhythmically taps her wooden staff against the stage surface, which instantly causes the girls to shush and direct their attention toward her.
"Now that we have some peace and quietness," She voices to the younger women, who she treats as professional dancers and her children as well.
"The reason why you were called in earlier than expected is because the boss wanted to have a meeting with you all."
"For what, I don't know. All I know is, it is strictly mandatory for each and every one of you to show up on time." The curly raven haired woman expressed her confusion as well but knew to follow orders from the boss.
Hinata was scanning the girls that were present when suddenly chiming in with, "We are missing Karin…by the way have you heard anything from her, Kurenai?"
"No, I have not."
"I mean it is Karin's nature to show up on her own time as if the world revolves around her." Ino reminded them about Karin usual tardiness.
"…says the person who is the most conceited out of the group." Temari mumbles loudly enough for the platinum blonde girl to hear.
"Ladies…" Kurenai swiftly interjects before Ino could even counter Temari's statement, "…let's not argue over something so trivial. I am certain that Karin is well on her way here as we speak."
'If everything that I've witnessed yesterday is true then I don't think she'll be here any time soon.' Hinata gravelly concluded about Karin's short live future.
Sakura casted her eyes in Hinata's direction to see that the color completely drained from her face similar to yesterday before the big show. "Are you alright, Hinata?"
"I just have this feeling something big is about to happen between all of us." She openly admits with an expression of worry on her face.
"I'm sure it's just the boss way of praising us on a job well done for yesterday." The rosy hair female was reassuring her with a hand on her shoulder and a wide smile present on her face.
'That's what you think, Sakura.' She mentally rebuttals to the young woman, who now casually walks in front of her.
"Let's get going ladies…"

"Konoha Drug Enforcement Agency hotline, what would you would like to report?" A feminine voice was enquiringly inquiring after picking up the phone.
"And where is this location again?" "Are you sure you saw what you saw?" "May I ask your name?" "Yes, you can remain anonymous."
"Thank you for sharing this precious piece of information, you have helped to save many lives."
"There's a report of suspicious activities at 3423 Leaf Avenue, reports of three unidentified bodies were spotted being tossed in the trash bins outside of the business. A mover truck was also spotted with items other than furniture being moved inside of the facility."
"Deploy Alpha team and send Beta team for back up, we want to keep this covert so our actions won't be noticeable to the general public."
"Yes ma'am." "Alpha team, gear up for a possible drug raid with the Beta squad as back up. Move out time is less than ten minutes."
"Looks like we will be seeing action again soon, fellas,"
