R&R longer note at the end

Labelled a renegade had always been tough on the blonde, she had lost everything when they had decided to turn their backs on a duty they couldn't accept however Haruka had always had her ways of getting what she wanted and it hadn't been long before the dark brown haired Hanzō leader had agreed to aid her.

Her good nature would never see the blonde struggle and so they had ended up living together in a small apartment, Haruka had been very grateful for the aid and showed her appreciation in her own unique way which meant the occasional prank.

Asuka had never really forgiven her for them and had often threatened to kick the blonde shinobi out on the street, one of these incidents had included Haruka deciding to change the other girl's regular bra's with ones two sizes too small. The blonde couldn't deny the humorous scene that had followed of the dark haired girl wondering if her chest had gotten bigger, another of her pranks had been replacing the Hanzō leaders small bottles of milk she used after the bath with cheese sauce.

She had promised herself to never perform that prank again after she was forced to clean up the aftermath, a scene that still haunted her to this day however despite the consistent teasing and pranks the girl could just never find it in her to evict the blonde.

Today however it was time for another prank, a more ambitious prank that the dark haired girl would never see coming.

Asuka walked up the steps to her shared apartment as she stopped in front of the door, as had become the normal she checked the lock and handle before opening the door slowly looking for any trip wires that may have been set up, she had agreed to take Haruka in as an act of kindness following the budding friendship between the two groups but she couldn't deny the consistent pranking had become rather difficult to keep her around.

Slipping inside the dark brown haired girl slowly closed the door with a smile sensing no pranks as she placed down a small bag she had been carrying with her, today would be different however she had a plan and a small amount of payback was in order.

Slowly entering the kitchen she looked around spotting the blonde pouring two cups of what appeared to be tea turning to see Asuka enter Haruka smiled bringing the two cups over as the dark brown haired girl remained on edge. Placing the bag down she sniffed the contents of the cup, the scent of green tea filled her nostrils not detecting anything else she took a sip before placing the cup down.

"Safe" Asuka muttered as the blonde chuckled sitting down opposite her "Anyway we have something important to discuss, given your pranks and everything the landlord has decided to evict us". Haruka placed her cup down for a moment looking to the others face scanning it with her eyes looking for any signs of deception, after a moment her smile faded she could see no signs of a lie.

"Th-they can't do that" Haruka said her voice shaking a little "They were harmless tricks that caused no damage, this isn't fair isn't there something we can do to prevent it?" Asuka smiled as she reached into her bag removing a piece of paper placing it down with a pen, she slid it over to the blonde who looked a little confused as she read the paper before her.

"The landlord said we can stay if you sign this agreeing to no more pranks" Asuka said as the blondes eyes rolled over the paper "It also states that a breach of this will result in the eviction taking place". Haruka looked up raising an eyebrow after a moment she took the pen in her hand signing the paper sliding it back to the other girl who smiled rolling it up slipping it back into the bag.

"Well I signed it so aren't you going to run it down to them?" Haruka asked tilting her head to one side curious about why the other was still stood in the kitchen with a suspiciously joyous look on her face, within a flash the dark brown haired girl was stood behind the blonde who felt something was different.

She slowly raised a hand to her neck, her fingertips brushing against something leather jumping to her feet she rushed to a mirror seeing a dog collar around her neck as she tried to pull it off she heard a laugh come from behind her as she slowly turned.

"Remove it" Haruka said glaring at the other girl "Now".

"No, did you really think the landlord would remove us for your pranks?" Asuka asked taking the paper out once more unrolling it showing it to the blonde "You should really have read this properly, I just wanted to pay you back for the pranks so now you have a collar that only I can remove and you signed a document agreeing to wear it for a year". Haruka's eyes rolled over the document once more as she glared, how could she fall for such an amateurish prank as this, had her skills truly dimmed so much?

"Oh and one more thing" Asuka said still grinning as Haruka looked at her wondering what else there was "You also agreed to something else". Without another word the dark brown haired girl once again closed the distance between them pressing her lips to the others, the soft sensation clouded the blondes mind as her body froze up from the surprising boldness of the other who moved away a few minutes later as she grinned.

"Only I get to kiss you from now on" Asuka said chuckling as she leaned in whispering softly into the others ear "Payback doesn't taste so bad now I have to say".

Without another word the girl moved back to the table to finish her tea as Haruka stood still her numb fingers moving to her lips then to the collar as a smirk began to creep across her face. Well maybe this wasn't all bad after all, the feeling of the others kiss played at her mind as a question crept into her mind.

Was this really a prank?

Was it really a prank or did Asuka just collar the infamous Haruka for her own amusement and to torment the other? Probably both, most likely both

So, what did you expect? I mean it's Haruka, the spice has to flow but of course it is not too spicy just enough to keep it entertaining but fitting with the personality of the Crimson Squads sadistic chemist

Anyway I have one more chapter finished but the one after that is falling into what I will now call "the Hanabi effect" which is, I have the pairing idea but nothing coming to mind for it. I'm sure it'll happen soon but I can't just skip ahead because that would not work for the way I'm doing things, one shots yes, the pattern though?

That would be broken and then it's less fun so hoping to get the chapter done soon but for now hope you enjoyed this one
