Just Ludicrous: Chapter 6

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The three students sat in the room, Sakusen in the chair, Neji on the windowsill, and Sasayaki on the bed. Sakusen slumped.

"Ugh, I'm sick of being a guy. I wish I could get away with de-activation the jutsu."

Ningyo lent against the door. "Sorry, Sakusen. No can do."

Neji looked over at the sensei. "So, what now? You said that we were to hunt down the Akatsuki."

"That's right. With this cover, I'll go with Sasayaki through the festival to keep an eye out for them. You two, Sakusen and Neji, will pretend to be on a date while also watching out for the Akatsuki. We will wear the radios, so keep in touch."

The other three nodded. Ningyo reached into her pouch and brought out a wad of cash. "Here, Sakusen." She handed some of the notes to the boy. "To make it more convincing."

Neji beamed.

"Alright then!" announced Ningyo, suddenly very chipper and animated. "Off you two go! Try to enjoy yourselves!" where as she shooed Neji and Sakusen out of the room.

The two stared at the closed bedroom door, trying to figure out what had just happened, then turned away.

"Well, let's go," sighed Sakusen. Neji nodded.

They meandered down the main road, which was packed with people. There were stalls everywhere, and street performers, too. At one large stall, Tazuna the bridge builder sat with his grandson and together they were telling the story of the Great Naruto Bridge. Sakusen tried to keep an eye out for anyone with blue skin, but no one turned up. Instead, he and Neji ended up wandering from stall to stall, laughing at the Naruto key chains and the little Voodoo Sasuke dolls. There was something silly about sticking pins into a doll, as opposed to needles in a person. They decided to buy one for Sasayaki, on the agreement that Neji take the credit. They were just paying for it when Sasayaki muttered over the radio, "losers."

They continued to window shop and keep an eye out for the Akatsuki when Ningyo suddenly said over the headphones, "meet us at the tea house near Tazuna's home."

The two strolled into the teahouse and sat down. They had arrived before Ningyo and Sasayaki. They ordered dumplings and tea, then began to people watch. They were especially amused by the doll, and Neji entertained herself greatly by sticking pins into the doll repeatedly, at least until Sakusen took it from her and sat it up on the table.

"You have to admit," he said, smiling down at it, "it is kinda cute."

Neji was about to retort when Ningyo's voice came from the doorway. "Yoo-hoo! Two little love birds!"

The two turned and stared incredulously toward the entrance. There, Sasayaki and Ningyo stood, weighed down by shopping bags. They strode over to the table, and joined Neji and Sakusen, then ordered more tea and dumplings.

"What the hell have you been doing?" demanded Sakusen.

"Shopping." Chirped Ningyo.

"No kidding." Murmured Neji.

"But what did you buy?"

"Not much," claimed Ningyo in a defensive voice. "Just essentials."

"Fine, fine," sighed Sakusen. "So why did you tell us to come here?"

"I found the Akatsuki."

"WHAT?!?"

"Actually, I lost track of them, but I picked up some useful information. They're staying at an inn which is next to a brothel, and Kisame likes blonds."

Sakusen gaped at his sensei. Neji, though, panicked. As soon as she realized what her sensei had said, she tried to make a break for it. Unfortunately for her, it didn't work. Ningyo managed to seize one of the long blond pigtails and hang on, leaving Neji shrieking in panic and pain.

"Just sit down, I'm not done yet."

Neji thrashed. "You want me to work in A BROTHEL?!? You want me to sell my virginity? What the HELL is wrong with you?!? I thought you were trying to set me up with Sakusen!"

the other occupants of the shop were staring by now at the group. Finally, Sakusen had to get up and pick up Neji, carry back to her seat, and sit her back down. he then muttered in her ear, "just hear her out," before turning his attention back to Ningyo- sensei.

"Essentially, yes, Neji, I do want you to work there." here the blond tried to make a break for it, but Sakusen caught her around the waist. "But you don't have to be a brothel girl. Just, pretend to be one. I need you to pick up information about the two Akatsuki. I'll be sending Sakusen to check up on you, and to prevent anything from happening. In the meantime, Sasayaki and I will be trailing them and eavesdropping on anything they say. Now I'm done."

Neji slammed her head against the table. "My sensei is sending me off to work in a brothel. Can life get any weirder?"

Sakusen turned on her. "Yes, it can! I'm supposed to be your lover! now that's weirder!"

Sasayaki calmly sipped her tea as Ningyo ignored the other two and began rifling through bags.

"Well, Neji," Ningyo murmured, her face buried in tissue paper, "we have to go back to the inn now."

"What? why? I wanna enjoy my last few seconds of freedom."

"No can do. you have clothing to try on."

"What?"

Ningyo looked up. "You have your uniform to try on."

Ah, the evilness of it all. No sooner were they together, Neji and Sakusen are split up. But that is this? some rebellion? will a relationship blossom in all of this?
