Back in Konoha, Naruto was eating ramen. He was still trying to figure out why Mikoya lied, though he suspected it was for a mission. Most people don't seem to realise the even if he acts like an idiot, Naruto can read someone's body language, and he knows Mikoya was lying.
"Everything alright, Naruto?" Sakura questioned and sat next to him in the booth. She ordered some chicken ramen.
"Yeah, I was just thinking of Mikoya," Naruto replied as he ordered his second bowel of ramen.
"Why? She tried to kidnap you," Sakura stated as she started eating her ramen. She was one of the few who knew it was Mikoya's mission, and thus, was asked to make sure Naruto didn't figure it out.
"She was lying, everything she told me was a lie," Naruto replied and finished his second bowel.
Usually, he would have more than two bowels, but he really wasn't in the mood. He felt like something was being kept from him, and he really badly wanted to know what. He got up and paid for his two bowels and left the booth.
Sakura watched as Naruto left, a frown on her face. She knew something was wrong by the lack of ramen Naruto ate, and she thinks she knows what.
Sakura quickly finished her ramen and paid before leaving the booth to talk to Tsunade.
"Do you have a favourite song?"
"No, not really."
"Why not? Everyone has a favourite song. You should too."
"I guess it would be… Shooting Star."
Mikoya and Itachi finally arrived to the town where their target, Yūta was. They decided to rest until night, when the club was open. So, they just hanged out just inside the forest and planned.
"You need to wear something different," Itachi stated.
"How so?" Mikoya asked.
"You're going into a high class club. You need to dress to impress, but not overly so. You also need an outfit that will be easy to move in and that you can hide some weapons in."
"I didn't know you were a fashion expert," Mikoya teased and Itachi just shot her a glare. She sighed. "I know, just wait here for a second while I change."
Mikoya ran into a clearing and got changed into a scarlet dress that fell just past her thighs. Though the dress may seem skin tight, it actually was easy to move in, and had a secret pocket where a few senbon could fit. She then changed her ninja sandals for red high heels. She walked back to Itachi, who looked her over in a way a professional fashion designer would look over the model.
"Good," Itachi said with a nod, and looked up to the sky, where the stars were starting to come out. "We should go. You need to get in through the front; I'll work on any guards."
Mikoya nodded and Itachi left. She then sighed and walked to the club, where there was a long line of people waiting. She walked straight to the bouncer who looked her up and down in a way that was checking her out.
"Will you let me in, please?" Mikoya questioned sweetly.
"Sure thing, and no need to pay," the bouncer said and let Mikoya in.
She walked in and was met with the loud thumping of music. But that wasn't what bugged her; she practically felt her chakra leaving her. She knew this place had a chakra depleting barrier around it. She reached to her communicator and got a hold of Itachi.
"This place takes away chakra," Mikoya stated.
"Thought as much, be careful and don't draw attention to you, unless it's of our targets," Itachi replied.
"Hai."
Mikoya then walked over to the bar, where she ordered a weak alcohol drink she knew she wouldn't consume. It was mostly there for props.
She sat at the bar, and soon enough, she caught sight of their Yūta. He was dancing with some skanky lady, but that stopped when he caught sight of Mikoya. She pretended not notice and took a sip of her drink.
"Well aren't you pretty," Yūta said standing in front of the sixteen year old girl who looked more like an eighteen year old woman in her clothes.
"Oh, thank you," Mikoya said, using just the right amount of innocence, she managed to even add a slight blush.
"Why don't you join me in my private room…?" Yūta wanted her name.
"Yuna," Mikoya said, using the name her and Itachi came up with.
"Yuna, what a pretty name. Would you like to join me?" Yūta questioned.
"Sure," Mikoya said and finished off her drink, not even feeling the slightest amount of buzz from it.
Yūta held out his hand, and Mikoya took it. He led her through the crowed and up some stairs at the back and into a private room that over looked the dance floor of the club. Mikoya sat down on one of the white leather couches.
"I have him alone," Mikoya whispered into her communicator.
"I'm almost done with the guards," Itachi replied at the same time as Yūta said, "First time coming to this club?"
"Hai," Mikoya replied to both Itachi and Yūta.
"Do you like it so far?" Yūta asked as he took a seat across from Mikoya, back to the door.
"It's nice, the best I've been too." And she wasn't lying about that.
"That's nice; I was hoping it would meet up to a shinobi's expectations, Hiaki Mikoya."
Mikoya's eyes widened in surprise. How did he know? Has their mission been compromised? She was about to warn Itachi when she felt a very strong chakra coming from the man in front of her.
She watched has his features disappeared, showing a high level transformation jutsu. Behind the jutsu stood none other than Orochimaru.
"Where's Yūta?" Mikoya questioned the paedophilic snake man.
"I killed him last night, knowing that you would be coming here with a member of Akatsuki, though I don't know who," Orochimaru stated.
Mikoya watched Orochimaru like a hawk as he got up and walked over to the glass window. She never like Orochimaru, even if this was the first time she met him, she knows that he knows something.
"But I'm not here for Akatsuki business, I'm here to talk to you," Orochimaru stated and turned to look at Mikoya.
"And why do you need to speak with me?"
"Because I know your past."
Mikoya's eyes widened, and before she could ask, Kabuto ran in, looking beat up. Orochimaru turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow as he did.
"Uchiha Itachi is here," Kabuto stated.
Orochimaru's yellow eyes narrowed. "Looks like we'll need to finish this later," Orochimaru stated and puffed out along with Kabuto. A few seconds later Itachi came running in to find a dazed Mikoya.
"Orochimaru killed Yūta?" Itachi questioned and Mikoya nodded. "What did he say to you, Mikoya?" Itachi questioned.
"That he knew my past."
