Thirteenth Kiss: Excessive Chain
Kurenai shoved the splintering wood and foggy glass door to her office open with her ass and heaved the last of the files she would have to pour over the weekend atop her desk. The red plastic pencil cup clatter to the floor, stubbed pencils and dried-up pens spilled over the scuffed avocado and chalk checkerboard parquet. She could give a rat's ass at the moment and dumped herself into the chair. Propping her elbows on her frayed blotter she rested her head in her hands for a moment of blessed respite.
The scrollcase lay behind her nameplate. Inhaling deeply Kurenai turned the long, cylindrical thing in her hands repeatedly. It was made of black leather and if she wanted to open it, there was an unknown length of chain to get through. The chrome glinted in the dying sunlight like a steel whip and she spent nearly five minutes unwinding it. It was so long, the thing fell over either edges of her desk. She uncurled the parchment and read Kakashi's bit of retribution.
When the breeze swirls up from the valley to scatter the blossoms on
the mountainside, you may be sure the frozen waters will melt.
The kunoichi's cheeks glowed something powerful and Kurenai steadily set the scroll down. Her shoulders trembled and her breasts heaved unevenly with long breaths. Kurenai bawled a belly laugh that gave a pair of chuunin passersby in the corridors pause before her door and moved on charily. So giddy was she that she didn't see the door fling open and Anko barge in.
"Hey girlie, thought we might go for a-" Anko's speech came to a screeching halt when she saw her friend dissolved in tears and pounding her fists in hysterics. "…I was gonna say a drink, but looks like I got here too late…"
TSUZUKU
A/N: What's so funny you ask? The Japanese words for "melted" and "frozen" are tokeru and musubu. It can also connote "tied" and "unbound" since traditional kimonos are held together by cords, the poem could suggest, "you surely will be undressed again." And the final waka after this should bring our KakaKure fans a bit of closure.
