Bathhouse
Hibiki was feeling through her pack, the item in question missing. With a sigh, Hibiki stood,
"Karin are you here?" she asked. When she received no answer she frowned. Hibiki found her way to the door. Since they were at an inn everyone took advantage of the opportunity and cleaned up. A long soak in the hot water sounded nice. Karin was going to go with Hibiki, but now she is nowhere to be found. Hibiki slowly navigated the halls and went downstairs. At the foot of the steps, Hibiki stopped.
"Hello?" she called.
"Yes dear, how may I help you?" A passing maid answered.
"Oh, I need help finding the baths." Hibiki smiled.
The maid took Hibiki's hand and lead her down the hall.
"The door on the right is the women's bath dear," she said as she walked away.
"Thank you!" Hibiki called after her. Hibiki went inside, found an open
cubby and changed into a towel, wrapping it around her torso.
"Karin?" Hibiki called into the room. Still no answer. Where was she?
Hibiki then heard Karin's voice from next door, What she was saying wasn't clear enough for Hibiki to understand.
I thought the maid said this was the women's bath? Did I misunderstand?
She wondered. Hibiki had lost an important Ideam only Karin could help her with.
Using the wall as a guide, Hibiki followed the sound of Karin's voice into the bath next door. Hibiki stepped through a threshold and into a steamy room.
"Aww. don't be so boring Sasuke." Karin flirted.
"Karin?" Hibiki asked as she walked forward.
"Hibiki?" Karin squeaked.
"Finally found you, Karin have you seen my ("pony") it wasn't in my bag."
..
Karin was flabbergasted, knowing Hibiki had no idea they were in the men's bath, she tried to think up a logical way to get Hibiki away from this area. Just then Suigetsu emerged from underwater,
"Now this feels like heaven…" he sighed, but quickly became dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of him. Karin was cuddling up to Sasuke, Sasuke looked bored with Karin's obvious attempt to seduce him, and Hibiki standing near them with a very confused face.
"...Karin have you seen my ("pony") it wasn't in my bag." Hibiki finished asking.
Suigetsu's nose dripped a little blood when he saw Hibiki, then Karin yelled at him.
"What the hell are you doing here Suigetsu!" she yelled pissed at this fustercluck of a situation.
"I could ask you the same thing Karin," Suigetsu frowned, he was in the male bath….
"Suigetsu?" Hibiki asked now more confused, which bath was she in?
"Get out of here!" Karin yelled throwing and hitting Suigetsu with a small tub. Suigetsu was hit directly on the head, throwing him back. Karin grabbed Hibiki and bolted out.
After a short explanation, Karin huffed.
"That was the perfect chance.." she stopped walking "at least I have this.." She giggled.
"What did you take," Hibiki sighed.
"Sasuke's toothbrush." she continued to giggle.
"Karin I don't usually comment on your personal affairs, but this obsessive crush is getting a little weird." Hibiki frowns.
"Well, your attraction to Suigetsu is weird!" Karin argues.
"Yeah but I don't steal his personal hygiene products." Hibiki sighs.
Later Suigetsu looks through his belongings having lost his toothbrush.
AN: The omake Karin's obsession is what this is based on, so it turns out Karin stole Suigetsu's toothbrush not Sasuke's, (by mistake) also after some very interesting research, (no sarcasm) in the past, and still some today, women used a (pony), a reusable menstruation pad. I think the actual word used in japan is "pony". Anywho I wanted to do my own omake and added in the pony because even ninjas have menstruation.
