Search for the Jewel of Heaven

Back with Natsumi and Natasha. the two girls have finally come down from the roof. Arm over shoulder, they try to get back to Natsumi's room, hitting the wall after dancing back and forth from all the alcohol, hitting into the walls and almost falling forward and backwards a few times.

"Oh WE'RE gonna have a hang over in the morning." Natsumi hiccups loudly as she crashes into the wall on her left, though getting back up quickly.

"You said it Natsumi." Natasha hiccups also, smashing into the wall on her right. As they make their way back into Natsumi's room. Natsumi falls flat upon her futon, out like a light already. Natasha puts the bottle of soki on the table, and falls flat on the floor next to Natsumi's futon, also out like a light, unknowing to the two intruders that are after Natsumi's head.

Satoshi and Daisuke pass by the girl's open door, looking inside. They both, stop, stair, and blink a lot in surprise. Daisuke looks over to Satoshi, a devilish smile on his face, his eye pleading innocent, though blocked by desire.

"Come on Satoshi. a teeny drink please.?"

Satoshi shakes his head wearily, looking away from the room and continuing to walk forward. "No way. the sooner we get this over with. the sooner I can get paid."

Daisuke sighs loudly and following after Satoshi with his head bowed. Satoshi shakes his head once again as Daisuke pouts, though tries to keel himself from saying anything so that an argument doesn't break out between them. They reach the garden, seeing Gohda there with his katana by his side, ready to unsheathe it at any moment for attack. His old eyes move around the inside garden slowly, making sure to be able to catch anything in the blink of an eye. Satoshi closes his eyes, fading into the darkening shadows, vanishing from sight. His shadow trails along the ceiling, and drops behind Gohda, putting a kodachi to his neck. Daisuke walks down to the two, having his katana drawn as well.

"Greetings Lord Gohda," Daisuke starts to speak as he bows slightly, Satoshi keeping the kodachi pressed against Gohda's neck, "We've come to pick up something that you happen to happen to own. We promise to leave quietly as long as you just give us the Jewel of Virtue."

Gohda smirks, and looks at Daisuke, seeming perfectly calm for someone who is completely trapped, "I am sorry to say that I do not have possession of the Jewel."

"What!?" Daisuke screams, his face fuming as he thinks that Gohda is lying to save his life.

Satoshi, however, brings the kodachi closer to his neck, pressing against it firmly. "Then. who does.?"

"I do not plan on saying who does own the jewel." Gohda says, raising his chin as he closes his eyes, showing his honor as he sits still, waiting for the blow, "I'd rather risk my own life than risking theirs." After these words Satoshi pulls the Kodachi away, and round kicks Gohda hard in the side of the neck, him flying into the wall to the side of him, out cold.

"I know who it is." Satoshi says firmly and deeply as he sheaths his kodachis once again.

"Wait? You do?"

"Remember how Tenrai told us how his oldest daughter had run away from home, and was suddenly back?"

"Yes but."

"That means he brought her back in order to protect her because she is in possession of the jewel."

Daisuke blinks, looking up for a moment. "I guess you're right."

"Gohda never had a clue. His oldest daughter is the one that knows."

"We have one slight problem though Satoshi."

"And that is.?"

"We have no idea what she looks like."

Satoshi looks down at the knocked out Gohda, eyeing his features, mostly his hair, "Black hair. She'll have Ivory black hair. thick like his most likely."

"You're a genius Satoshi!"

"Lets just get going." And the two of them rush out of the room.

As they run, Daisuke looks over at Satoshi, with a questionable face, but a happy as well, "What about those drunken girls.? They both have Ivory Black hair. one is as thick as his probably."

"Let us find out then." And the two of them stop in front of the room with the open door, looking at the two girls inside, still fast asleep. Natsumi's hand is on Natasha's face, as Natasha is kicking Natsumi in the leg, making her wince during her sleep.

"So. which one do you think.?" Daisuke says, twitching a bit as he watches the girls sleep like pigs.

"I am worried that it might be neither." Satoshi says, though walks into the room. Natsumi starts to wake as Satoshi walks into the room. She stretches her arms, yawning loudly, though hearing the footsteps of the oncoming Satoshi, as she has not opened her eyes yet. She keeps herself laid down, pretending to be asleep, though unknowingly awake by the two men.

"One of them has to have the jewel. it's either this drunk or that drunk." Satoshi searches through Natsumi's drawers, searching for any sort of jewel. With that Natsumi rolls over, falling over into a secret panel, which opens and shuts with her rolling.

"What the.?" Daisuke looks to the empty spot where Natsumi once laid as he searched through her closet, though not finding her anywhere, "She's. gone?"

Satoshi sighs loudly, hitting Daisuke over the head, "Just check the other girl." Daisuke bends down, searching through Natasha's kimono, but never lifting it too much to get a good view of her prone body. Natasha rolls over, her hand slapping across his face, him falling backwards on his ass, rubbing his red cheek, just making it even more red than his slight blushing.

"Didn't see that coming."

"Oh you are just hopeless."

Daisuke gets up, looking down at Natasha again, who seems to be perfectly asleep, "It doesn't seem to be on her."

"Fine. I'll look for the other one." And with that Satoshi looks around the room, trying to find the panel that Natsumi fell through. Natsumi however, is no longer under the floorboards. She sits up on top of the ceiling, looking down at Daisuke and Satoshi through a secret panel. An evil smirk forms on her face as she lowers something down, using some special wire, switching the tray of soki and rice balls with another tray of soki and rice balls, all poisoned.

"That should take care of that. hehehe." Natsumi mutters to herself softly, though her slight chuckle totally muffled by the tight cloth that covers her mouth. She still watches, seeing Daisuke look around and at the tray. As his eyes set upon it they open wide, and then narrow again.

"Hello.?" Daisuke grins, going over to the tray, getting ready to pick up the bottle. But as his fingers just tap the rim of the bottle, a pillow hits him in the head, distracting him from his drink.

"No Daisuke. don't."

"Oh come on! What could go wrong.?"

"That could be poisoned."

"I reaaaaaly doubt that Satoshi. you're just paranoid." Daisuke picks up a dish for the soki, about to grab the bottle yet again, but Satoshi comes over, slapping his hand so that he drops the dish.

"I'm telling you. if you drink that you'll be sorry."

"Fine."

"Damn you...!" Natsumi hits the ceiling with her fist, making a slight noise that makes both Satoshi and Daisuke look up quickly, just as they heard the noise.

"Crap!" With that she jumps up through another secret panel onto the roof, running as fast as she can away from the roof. Satoshi sees the hole where he saw her peek through and throws a small red, paper like shuriken up to the ceiling. He pulls the string that is connected to the shuriken that stuck to the ceiling, and it explodes, blowing off the panel to reveal the other one she jumped out of. As quickly as he can, he jumps up after her. They race down the roof, Satoshi catching up fast. With little time to think and running out of a strait roof, Natsumi throws some small spiked pegs behind her, caltrops.

"That should work." Natsumi chuckles evilly as she watches him run up to it. But Satoshi jumps over the caltrops, throwing some long shuriken strait for her.

"SHIT!!!!" Natsumi runs around in circles as she dashes forward at the same time, dodging them all as they stab into the roof. After making sure that none are flying at her again, she turns about and dashes away from him again.

"I HATE THIS!!!! WHY AM I ALWAYS RUNNING FOR MY FUCKING LIFE!!!!!!!????" Natsumi continues to run, becoming more and more pissed the farther she runs, and the closer he becomes. But suddenly, she turns about, just as he was coming close to grabbing her, she rolls between his legs, and continues to roll, falling through a secret panel which rolling under Satoshi before he lands, and falls into a secret panel, it closing after her. Satoshi spins around, looking for her, but to find nothing but the cold wind blowing his long red bangs before his face.

"Damn she's good for a princess." Satoshi climbs down from off the roof, walking through the door to lead him into the indoor garden. Even though he has lost track of her completely, he does not wish to stop from his pursue of her, finding this very interesting.

"Where are you princess.? Don't hide from me. I'll only hurt you if you resist." Satoshi continues to look around the somewhat empty garden, passing under where she keeps her placed upon the ceiling, hanging from some of the support beams, following him silently from the ceiling above him. He starts to head for the door, and without further thought Natsumi tries to strike down from the above ceiling attack. But he is more skilled than she would of believed, and sensed the attack, putting his hands above him so that he grabs her wrists from the attacking blades, and throws her down onto her ass, still having a hold of one of her wrists. Natsumi though, is not done yet, and slides her foot under him, between his legs, and kicks upward hard, right into his crotch. In the utter pain of her kick he lets go, falling to his knees as he holds his aching nuts. She dashes away again, heading down the hall as she now runs aimlessly, just to get as far away as possible.

"This is a living nightmare!" Natsumi keeps running, and running, and running, and running, till she stops suddenly to see the man she just nailed in the crotch and left in the dust, standing tall before her.

"Ag!!" Since she was running so fast and so blindedly, she slams right into him as she tires to stop, her shoes sliding on the slick floor, and he catches her in his arms, holding her tightly.

"I have you now.." Satoshi says in a low, menacing voice. Natsumi freezes for a moment at his words, and then struggles to get free, kicking and screaming as hard and as loud as she could.

"You aren't much for an Azuma ninja." He mentions, twitching a bit at her reaction. Natsumi stops and looks up at him, her eyes narrowing and becoming very serious as she goes quiet.

"Like you are any better for some guy who got nailed by a girl." Natsumi smirks a bit, giving him a huge blow to his pride. And yet, he still stands tall and serious. She raises a brow at how he remained perfectly calm, till she felt the sharp poke in the side of her neck, falling faint in his arms, out like a light. Satoshi throws her sleeping body over his shoulder, walking towards the room where he left Daisuke and Natasha. He looks in the room, seeing Daisuke sitting in the corner, rolled up into a small ball, his face green, though trying to cover it up with his blue hair.

"You pathetic." Satoshi shakes his head, raising a brow as his voice becomes more demanding, "Didn't I say not to eat or drink anything.?"

"Not now." Daisuke covers his hand with his mouth, making a sound of stomach aches, and even hurling maybe. Satoshi sighs and looks over to the futon, seeing that Natasha has escaped also, the area being bare.

"Well after you recover. go after the other one. she might have info also. I'll be collecting my reward while you try to get the other." And with that Satoshi leaves Daisuke to hurl in the corner.
