Chapter 8: Tales from the Past Part Three
"Tsunade originally hailed from the outskirts of Tokyo." Ino began. "She lived in a rundown apartment with her little brother, Nawaki, and the two of them were being taken care of by their grandfather, Hashirama, and his brother, Tobirama. Even though Hashirama and Tobirama did their best to raise and take of Tsunade and her brother, there was only so much they could do. Hashirama worked as a bartender and never brought home that much money and Tobirama was barely making ends meet working as a cashier at the local liquor store. Thus, times were always hard for them. Sometimes there wasn't dinner on the table, and if there was, then it was a very meager meal."
"One day, little Nawaki came home from school one day and was crying. When Tsunade asked him what was wrong, he told her that the kids at school were picking on him because he wore the same thing to school almost every week. After she dried her brother's tears, Tsunade told him not to worry about what those other kids had to say. Even after Nawaki smiled and went off to play and said that he was fine, Tsunade wasn't ok. It was after she saw Nawaki cry for the first time, that Tsunade had realized she'd had enough. She was tired of always being poor and having to see Nawaki grow up with an underprivileged life. She understood that her grandfather and granduncle were doing their best, but it wasn't enough. Tsunade decided she was going to find a way to provide for her family as well. That was why at the age of 18, she left home to find work within the inner city dwellings of Tokyo"
"Because she finished with only a high school diploma and hadn't gone to college yet, there weren't very many jobs that would hire Tsunade. The ones that would hire her either didn't pay enough, or they were too stressful. After searching for 4 days straight and no luck, Tsunade was about to give up. Nevertheless, she decided she would search for one more day and then head back home. On her fifth day in Tokyo, Tsunade stumbled across a local pub that was fairly popular called Hidden Leaves. When she walked in, she thought it was a strip club because she saw women dancing on a stage and taking their clothes off. However, how they did it was very strange. Even though the women on the stage preformed various risqué strip teases, they were never nude. Once the dancers were finished, the men in the crowd would applaud them and throw 20 and 50 dollar bills out on the stage. Tsunade couldn't believe her eyes. All they had to do was dance on stage, act sexy, and they got money? With new found hope, Tsunade quickly found the manager of the club, whose name was Hiruzen, and he hired her on the spot. That was when Tsunade instantly became a go go dancer. "
"A go go dancer?" Hinata asked skeptically raising her eyebrow skeptically.
"Yes and a very popular one. Men would come from all around town to watch her performances on stage. She would wow the crowd with her sexy burlesque strip teases, and entice the men by mocking them with her massive boobs that always threaten to spill from her costume. From what I heard, she was quite the site to behold."
"I take it she earned a lot of money from dancing?"
"Are you kidding me? Some of her best fans were famous entrepreneurs, and she kept them coming every week. The more they showered her with cash while she was one stage, the more she would dance. Even after the show was over, Tsunade would receive gifts such as gold watches and diamond earrings back stage from many of her wealthy secret admirers. However, the most lavish gift she was ever given was a diamond encrusted tiara from one of her biggest fans Dan Mato, a CEO of an insurance company, who thought of Tsunade as his princess. This is how she earned her nickname, Princess Tsunade."
"Whoa!" Hinata gasped. "She gave her a REAL tiara. That's unbelievable; he must have really had a thing for Tsunade."
"He sure did, he would go back stage to talk with Tsunade after every performance she made. At first it started off as a simple crush, but then Dan slowly started to fall in love with Tsunade. He would invite her on trips to Paris, vacation with her in Hawaii, and he'd take her as his date to banquets that were held in his honor. Heck, he'd even introduce Tsunade to some of his business associates."
"Wow she was really living to high life huh?" said Hinata who was lying on one of Ino's fluffy pillows. "What ever happened to her family?"
"When she and Dan had first started seeing each other, Tsunade told Dan about them and how they were in need. He happily helped them out by moving them away from that bad apartment complex and bought them a house in the inner city suburbs of Tokyo. He made sure that Hashirama and Tobirama never had to work a day in their lives again and enrolled Nawaki into one of the nicest private schools in the city."
"Awe that was nice of him. Did Tsunade continue to dance after she met Dan?"
"Nope. After her family was moved into a better home, she quit working at Hidden Leaves and moved in with Dan into his mansion on the Upper East Side."
Dan was really good to Tsunade. Hinata thought but then suddenly another one crossed her mind that she asked Ino. "Did Tsunade love Dan back?"
"To be honest with you, I don't know. Apart of me wants say no because when she first met him, all Dan was to her was the key to her and her family to living a better life. I think she started to love Dan after he moved her family out of the slums of Tokyo. However, I can't be sure."
"Oh… I see." Hinata murmured. "Ino."
"Yes."
"The story you told me was great and all, but what does any of this have to do with the founding of the FFF?"
"I'm glad you mentioned that Hinata because I was just starting to get to that." Ino cried excitedly. "This is when the story gets good."
"Oh," said Hinata getting into a comfortable position on the bed, "please continue."
"Right anyways, after Tsunade moved in with Dan they lived together for four years and on their fifth year anniversary, Dan proposed to her and they were married in Hawaii. The next few years of their marriage were the best in Tsunade's life, for she had realized that she truly did love Dan and not his money. However, Tsunade's happiness did not last for long. Only five years into their marriage, she found out that Dan was cheating on her with another woman."
"Really?" Hinata couldn't believe it. "How did she find out?"
"Dan's niece, Shizune, came to Tsunade one day and showed her a love note that was written from Dan to a mystery woman. The note said that he couldn't wait to finally be with her after he divorced Tsunade, which he planned to do in three days. Tsunade was furious. How dare he cheat on her! After she was done reading the note, Tsunade noticed Shizune had a guilty look in her eyes and she asked her if she knew about this all along. Shizune told her that she didn't know that he was cheating on Tsunade, but she knew he would eventually. Confused, Tsunade demanded Shizune tell her what that meant. According to Shizune, Dan had a habit of falling for hot, young women like waitresses, strippers, and her cases go go dancers, so he could pamper them, spoil them, and eventually marry them. When he got bored with one girl, he would divorce her and move on the next one. Shizune also told her that not to be surprised when he took all of the stuff he gave her back, including the house he bought for her family."
"What a dick!"
"Hinata!"
"Sorry."
Ino giggled. "I'm just playing. As I way saying, after Tsunade had heard all of this from Shizune, she was astonished that she got played by a Playboy. Not only that, but he was planning to throw her to the side and take the house away. If he did, then Tsunade and her family would have no choice but to return to the rundown apartment complex on the outskirts of town, and she was not going to let that happen. They had been living the good life for too long, and there was no way she was going to let Dan take that away. Precipitously, an idea formed in Tsunade's head. Dan always kept all of his major credit cards in his wallet which he leaves all over the house. If she managed to find a way to get a hold of his wallet, she could drain his bank account and get off scott-free. She'd memorized all of his credit card passkeys to get into his account, so the plan should go over fairly easy. But how was she going to get them? Dan was on a business trip and wouldn't be back for three days. By the time he got back, he would already be talking about divorcing her. When she told Shizune this, she just laughed and miraculously presented Tsunade with Dan's wallet. He had left it when he was visiting her at her condo that morning and she was going to give it back to him until she found that love note inside. Shizune said that she'd give it to Tsunade if she let Shizune in on her plan."
"But why would she want to help Tsunade? I mean, Dan was her uncle after all."
"That's true Hinata, but Shizune had grown tired of her uncle's cheating ways, and he was secretly abusive to her as well. Besides she had formed a great friendship with Tsunade and wanted to help her out. Now quit interrupting, it's getting annoying.
"Sorry." Hinata squeaked.
"It's alright, I'm almost done. After Tsunade had gotten a hold of Dan's credit cards, she and Shizune put her plan into action. First, Tsunade went to the bank and drained all of the money in all of Dan's accounts which totaled up to be $150,000,000. Then, she phoned her grandfather and granduncle, who were taking a family vacation with Nawaki at the time, and told them of Dan's plans. In complete and total disbelief, they asked what they should do. Tsunade told them to change their names and that she'd wire them $20,000,000, so that they could get a new house and move somewhere else to which they agreed. Having done that, both Shizune and Tsunade faked their deaths, and went under false identity's as they left the country of Japan never to be seen again."
"Whatever happened to Dan?" Hinata asked.
"After he tried to make a withdrawal from one his personal accounts, it was already too late. Suspecting it as Tsunade's doing, he phoned the police only to be told they had just recovered the remains of her and his niece's bodies out of his house that had mysteriously burned down. Dan couldn't handle the fact that now he was broke and homeless, so he committed suicide by stabbing himself in the heart."
"Ewww what a hard way to go. By the way, what happened to Tsunade and Shizune?"
"They escaped to Spain and founded the Fatal Femme Fatales. A secret organization dedicated to helping women con businessmen out of their money as well as other various illegal projects like robbing art museums, and blackmailing corporate executives. The FFF has many infamous members. Some of the most famous female criminals are Female Fatales. Have you ever heard of Anko Matarashi or Yugito Nii?"
"You mean Anko the Snake Charmer of Kanto and Nii the Jewel thief of Hokkaido." Hinata said as Ino nodded. "They're part of the FFF?"
"Yep." Ino simply said. "The FFF has many branches throughout Japan as well as other countries. Each branch has an appointed a leader, which in our branch is Temari. Each leader is responsible for organizing all of the missions and jobs for their respective branch and giving a fraction of their profits to the FFF."
"How did Temari get involved in the FFF?"
"That, my friend, is a story for another night, and I've already talked enough for this one." Ino said motioning towards her alarm clock that read 12:15 a.m. "You should be getting to bed; you have your first mission tomorrow."
"Oh my goodness! I had no idea that it was this late." Hinata exclaimed getting out if the Ino's queen sized bed giving her a hug. "Good night Ino, I'll see you in the morning." Ino bade a goodnight too her as Hinata left and went to her room. Ino just sat on her bed as she thought about the pretty Hyuuga and how innocent she was.
I wish Hinata all the luck on her mission tomorrow. If she's really that innocent and sweet, she'll need it. With that last thought, Ino lied down and sleep finally took her.
Hinata woke up at 9:30 a.m. the next morning feeling well rested despite having that late night chat with Ino. After she got up out of bed, she looked noticed a red halter dress with pockets that was hanging up on the wall beside her bedroom door. Under it, she could see a pair of black stilettos, a folded up pair of fishnet stockings, and a lacy black thong.
Am I supposed to wear that? Hinata thought as her eyes wandered on to a sticky note that was stuck to her bedroom door. She walked over and plucked the note off into her hand and it read:
Good morning sunshine! Hurry up and get dressed in the outfit I left for you. Your mission will be explained to you as soon as you're downstairs. Don't be long now.
Love, Ino
"Oh yeah, I forgot that was today." Hinata thought out loud as she started to get ready. "Might as well get this over with."
30 Minutes later…
Hinata stepped out of her room with grave caution.
I look ridiculous. She thought. If I'd known this dress was going to make me look like a hooker, I would have never put it on.
Hinata nervously walked down the hall until she got to the stairs and walked down carefully almost tripping a few times. She hadn't worn heels in a while, so she was still pretty wobbly. Once she had made her way to the bottom of stairs, she walked into the living room where she saw all of the ladies waiting for her. All of them were standing in a line and were wearing identical black catsuits. Temari, who was standing in the middle stepped forward and began to address Hinata.
"Hello Miss Hyuuga, I am glad to see that the outfit Ino picked out looks so good on you. It fits very nice."
Hinata was very grateful for Temari's comment, but she still blushed. She liked the way the outfit looked on her, but she didn't like the way it fit. First off, her boobs were just about ready to burst out of the top of her dress, and it was a little too short on her so she had to be careful when she bent over or her booty would fall out of her dress.
"Thank you, Lady Temari. "Hinata said glaring at Ino as she saw her snicker.
"You're welcome Hinata. Now enough with formalities, it's time to get down to business. You have a mission to do, and we haven't got much time. The mission you will be performing will test your abilities of deception and seduction as you pose as a prostitute to get the attention of millionaire tycoon, Asuma Sarutobi. Sarutobi is an affluent man who owns many casinos throughout the city of Tokyo. Not only is he very wealthy, but he is one of the most respected and powerful businessmen in all of Japan. You can see him on the cover of all financial magazines as well as articles about him and his lovely pregnant wife, Kurenai, in all of the newspapers. While his life may seem like an open book, he leads a secret double life that includes picking up hookers from his favorite pimp every Friday at Demon Mists, a very popular club. It would ruin his career and if somebody found out about this, and he'd most likely pay any amount of money to silence anybody who knew. Do get where I'm going with this Hinata?"
Hinata gulped. "Yes." Oh. My. God. Am I going to have to-
"Good. We've managed to work out a deal with the pimp that Asuma goes to and catch him in the act. This is where you come in. You are to meet with said pimp and act like one of his girls. Then, when Asuma comes to pick up his latest toy, the pimp will present you to Asuma and you will leave with him. Asuma will most likely take you to his private suite on the other side of town, while the girls and I will follow you in our van. Once both of you are there, you will engage in sexual acts with him over by the nearest balcony window to make it look like you are actually having sex with him. It is there that, Tenten will snap a couple of pictures of you two and, when she gives you the signal, you will have to make him roll away from the window on to his back. It is then that you will spray him with this."
Temari handed Hinata what looked like ice blue pepper spray can. "What's this?" Hinata asked.
"This is knock out gas. After you get Asuma on his back, spray him in the face with this and he will be taking a very long nap. However, if he gets to be too much for you beforehand, don't be afraid to use it. Once he's down for the count, you will leave the suite as soon as possible and meet me and the girls downstairs in the front of the hotel. We will have hid our van inconspicuously, so you will have to look hard to find it, but we will try to signal you over. After you find us, we will leave and you will have completed your mission and officially be a Fatal Femme Fatale. Any questions, if not then we are leaving right now."
Hinata was about to say 'no' until Sakura cut her off.
"Actually, I have a question for you Hinata."
"W-what? What is it?"
"I have to ask, why are you doing this?"
Hinata was appalled. "What do you mean?"
"Why are you trying to become a Femme Fatal? Someone like you doesn't belong in an organization like this. You belong back home in your fancy mansion sipping fine wine or whatever it is rich girls like you do. I mean, you were practically brought here against your will, so why haven't you run away yet? What is your purpose for even being here?"
All of the girls looked at Temari, and then looked at Hinata. Apparently, they all wanted to know as well."
Hinata only playfully smirked and said, "You know, I've asked myself that question about a million times since I've been here, but I've yet to provide myself an answer." Hinata paused for a moment, and quietly said, "But I believe I know why now."
All eyes in the room were on her.
"First off, I'm tired of running. Second, if I wanted to return home I couldn't because I don't belong there. It is not the place where I am meant to live because I'm not even in control of my own life. Everything is always predestined for me, and tired of that. Lastly, I want to be in control of my own to life for once and make my own decisions, and I'm starting right now." Hinata turned to Temari.
"I AM going on this mission, and I WILL become a Femme Fatal. I'll do whatever it takes."
Hinata finished her speech by staring each and every girl in the eye with iron grit determination. Seeing the fire in her eyes, they all nodded to her and approval. Temari cleared her throat.
"If there no more random outbursts or speeches," she said glancing around at everybody. "Then we can be on our way. Let's get going ladies."
"Yes Ma'am!" they all chorused as all of them moved out.
It was now 11:45 a.m. and Hinata was sitting in the V.I.P room of Demon Mists on one of the very many comfortable leather couches. The room was very dark and full of mirrors. It looked like some type of crazy sex room where ongoing orgies went on every Saturday night.
Wow I have a very dirty mind. Hinata thought.
She had been sitting there for the past 25 minutes as she waited on this Asuma guy to get here. After, Temari and the other girls dropped her off over 30 minutes ago; they left and told her that they would be waiting in the van behind the corner until they saw Asuma drive her off to his suite. Hinata was then escorted inside by the owner of Demon Mists and the pimp himself, Zabuza Momochi. He was dressed in a simple outfit that consisted of a black t-shirt that said 'security' and a pair and of jeans and black army boots. He wore a very serious expression and gave off a 'don't fuck with me attitude', but other than that he treated Hinata very nice. Once they were inside the club, he asked her if she wanted anything to drink to which she kindly declined. Once she and Zabuza started talking, Hinata asked him what kind of connection he had with the FFF. Zabuza told her that he'd been working with them for some time now by tipping them off about wealthy potential "victims" that came out seeking his special "services" every now and again. Then, the rest went like clockwork. Said victim would be caught in the act of fornication with the prostitutes and Zabuza and whichever FFF sector leader that hired him would split the blackmail money 50/50. After a few more minutes of small talk, he showed her to the V.I.P room and told her to wait there until he came back with Asuma.
After a few more minutes of waiting patiently, Zabuza finally returned with another man in tow. The man was wearing a dark grey Italian suit with a dark green tie. He had very tan skin and brown eyes and sported a very short beard. He was smoking a cigarette and flicked a few of the ashes on to the very clean floor of the V.I.P Room. Hinata could have sworn she saw Zabuza's eye twitch.
"Who is this whore? Where's Haku?" the man demanded arrogantly.
"I told you already, Asuma, Haku is out with another client right now. Besides, why are you worrying about that ice princess when I have this brand new chick for you right here?" said Zabuza as he motioned for Hinata to stand up.
I love how they're talking about me like I'm a piece of meat. Hinata thought mentally rolling her eyes as she slowly stood up.
Asuma looked Hinata over, his eyes scanning her entire body from her very busty chest to her delectably long legs.
"Is she any good?" he asked.
"Oh she's got a couple of miles on her, but I still consider her a fairly new at this type of stuff." said Zabuza sounding like was trying to sell a car.
"That much of a newbie huh? Well, that's fine. That means I get to break her in." Asuma gave Hinata a perverted smirk that sent chills down his spine. "How much?"
"$550 for every hour you keep her."
"Deal." Asuma said not taking his eyes of Hinata. "Is it ok if she comes back with a few knicks and bruises? I tend to get a little rough with my new toys."
"Hey, as long as she comes back in one piece, I honestly don't care. But try to go easy on her." Zabuza finished with a wink.
"I'll be sure to that." Asuma laughed and held out his hand to Hinata, "Come on sweetie I don't bite. At least not yet anyways."
Hinata reluctantly took his hand and let him lead the way out of V.I.P Room and exit Demon Mists as he ushered her to his shiny Rolls Royce Phantom. He kindly opened the door for her and she stepped into the passenger's seat. Once he had made his way around the driver's seat he climbed in, shut the door, started the engine, and they were off in a matter of seconds.
It wasn't long before they reached a five-star hotel. In a matter of minutes, Hinata and Zabuza quickly made their way through the lobby, up to the elevator, and walking down the hallway until they finally reached Asuma's suite. Once Hinata entered the room, she heard the door close and lock behind her.
Okay, this is it. Hinata thought. It's all or nothing now.
"So…" she said turning to Asuma who had already tossed off his jacket and loosened his tie. "Where should we start?"
"I was thinking over on the couch and we work our way from there." Asuma said getting behind Hinata and kissing the back of her neck. "What do you think?"
Perfect, that's close to one of the large windows on the back wall. Hinata thought. "Sure that's fine with me."
Hinata walked over and sat on the grey cotton sofa with Asuma sitting across from her. Being as hasty as he was, he pounced on her, knocked Hinata on her back, and started placing hard kisses up and down her neck and collarbone. While his left hand held her down, his right hand snaked his way around Hinata's neck and tried to undo the tie that was holding her dress up. Hinata started to panic, this was happening way too fast.
I have to find a way to this gorilla off of me! she mentally screamed.
Desperately thinking of a way of escape, she suddenly got a brilliant idea. While Asuma was busy ravishing the right side of her collar bone, Hinata reached behind her left ear to grab a hold of one of her hoop earrings. Once she had it in her grasp, she unclipped it and threw it behind the couch. It made a quiet but subtle "Ting" sound as it hit the floor.
"What the hell was that?" Asuma grumbled momentarily stopping his assault on Hinata's neck.
"That was my earring, it fell behind the couch, I'll get it." Hinata started to push Asuma off of her.
"Chill girl, it's only a stupid earring." Asuma said solemnly not budging one bit. "Now why don't you just sit back, relax, and spread those legs."
Oh no, I won't! Hinata thought as she was filled with a new burst of confidence. There is no way in Hell that I'm letting this cheating bastard have me.
"NO NO GET OFF ME" Hinata screamed as she shoved Asuma of her with all of her might. "I MUST HAVE MY LUCKY EARRING! LUCKY EARRING! LUCKY EARRING! WHERE ARE YOU?" Hinata shouted as she ran behind the couch and towards the window with Asuma right on her tail.
"BITCH WHAT THE FUCK IS A LUCKY EARRING? NOW OU LISTEN TO ME, I AM PAYING $550 AN HOUR TO FUCK YOUR WHORING ASS, SO I EXPECT TO GET WHAT I PAID FOR. NOW YOU GET OVER HERE AN-"
"ASUMA!" Hinata screeched at him.
"WHAT!" he yelled back.
"I found my lucky earring silly, see?" Hinata pointed to the hoop earring that was safely tucked back in her left ear. "Now we can get back to business."
Without warning, she grabbed Asuma and pushed him on to his back and climbed on top of him. She started doing very naughty things to him. She started to bounce up and down on his lap, pull on his tie, and even unbutton his shirt and pretend to lick his chest. Asuma, on the other hand, was very confused by all this, what the heck was she doing? Asuma then looked towards his right, and his facial expression turned from one of confusion to awestruck horror.
They were right in front of the very LARGE window of his suite.
Having what appeared to be sex.
And he could have sworn he saw somebody with a camera.
OH SHIT! I'VE BEEN SET UP!
"What the fuck! Get off me bitch!" Asuma said trying to get up.
Oops, looks like he figured it out. Hinata glanced out of the corner of her eye out of the window. She saw a black gloved hand giving her the 'A OK" sign from the center of a couple of bushes. Good timing, I have to get out of here anyway.
Hinata jumped off of Asuma with cat like reflexes, and he scrambled after her.
"YOU BITCH! WAIT UNTIL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU." Asuma seethed.
"Yeah right, blow it out your asshole." Hinata sneered as she backed up towards the sofa. "By the way, tell your wife that I wish her and the baby well."
"YOU LITTLE WHORE I'M GONNA-"
Before he could finish, Hinata kicked him in the crotch, and moved out of the way as he toppled over in pain on to the sofa. She then pulled a tiny ice blue can out of the pocket of her dress, and sprayed a pink mist into Asuma's face.
"Nighty night Sumi."
Even though, he was still in pain, Asuma's eyes started to close and he felt his body getting weaker.
"But…whhhhhyyyyy?" he asked before he yawned began to fall asleep.
Already at the door, Hinata looked back at the millionaire knocked out on the couch and said,
"It's nothing personal, Honey, it's just business."
Hinata turned around and walked out closing the door behind her.
Hinata made her way out of the fancy hotel, and was now trying to find the van the girls were driving. They weren't kidding when they said, that they'd be well hidden. Hinata heard a honk out of nowhere coming from the alley right across from the hotel. Following her instincts, she jay walked across the street to that alley and saw a big black van. Relieved that now all of this was over, she walked up to the back of it and knocked four times. The van opened up to reveal, Sakura and Ino who pulled Hinata inside and closed the door. The van started up and pulled out of the alley in a matter of seconds.
While Ino and Sakura were in the back with her, Hinata could see Tenten driving up front and Temari sitting in the passenger seat.
"Oh my goodness Hinata, I'm so proud of you!" Ino said giving her hug. "You did fabulous!"
"I must admit, I didn't think you could pull it off." Sakura sheepishly grinned. "But you proved me wrong, Hyuuga, you're all right."
As Ino kept hugging her, and Sakura kept patting her on the back, Hinata looked straight into the rearview mirror and saw Temari smirk.
"So… does this mean I'm in?"
Tenten chuckled and momentarily looked at Temari while still keeping her hands on the steering wheel. "Well 'Mari, does it?"
Temari only smirked and looked in the rearview directly at Hinata's hopeful expression and said, "Hinata Hyuuga."
"Yes, Lady Temari." Hinata gulped as she shot her head up.
"What is your favorite clothing store?"
Hinata gave her a confused expression, "Express at the Bazar, why do you ask?"
"Well, I just figured that we should get you some new clothes, considering you will be permanently staying with us from now on."
Hinata's breath got caught in her throat. "You mean-"
"Yes Hinata," Temari answered her with a bright smile, "you are now officially a Femme Fatale."
Everything started to happen in slow motion for Hinata. She could she Sakura and Ino jumping up and down with joy, and Tenten honking the horn with gusto. She could even see the glint Temari's eyes as she congratulated Hinata on a job well done.
Hinata couldn't believe it.
Now, she had a place where she could actually call home.
Now, she had a place where she belonged.
Now, she had a family again.
And it didn't cost her a thing.
