Goddamn kids, burning things!

After swimming along one of the passages in the cave for a while, Manami re-surfaced in a big lake in the opening of the village. It was certainly a strange way to get there, but she liked it. She climbed out of the water, forced to walk around in her swimsuit because her clothes were charred, or still sort of wet.
After walking into the town, she stopped outside a ramen shop, planning on getting herself some food; but she couldnt go in without clothes. Annoyed she grummled and sat down pulling the clothes out of her bag, ignoring any strange looks she recieved. Most of the clothes she had brought weren't her particularly nice ones so she wasn't too bothered. Any that were scorched, she tore bits off making them into different styles, trying to make them slightly presentable. Some were just a bit sooty from the fire, she shoved them into her bag and planned to wash them another time. 'I guess these can just be my training clothes..' She thought to herself chuckling slightly as she pulled a now ripped t-shirt and pair of shorts on.

Zentsu had beat her there still wet from the wave of water. He smelt the burning clothes and figoured out who it was He ordered two bowls of ramen and paid carrying them out to the girl "Looks like i at least owe you this" Zentsu smiled Politely trying for once to be nice

Laughing Manami took the bowl of ramen and smiled softly at the bowl. She stood up grabbing her bag and headed into the shop, "I really should sit down somewhere comfortable to eat this...thank you by the way.."

Zentsu waved his hand dissmissivly "I burned your clothes you nearly drowned me We're even" Sat down on a stool beside her eating his own bowl quickly "I'll buy you new clothes if you wish"

Manami raised an eye, curious at how fast the boy was eating but shook it off and began eating her own. Once she'd swallowed her mouthful she chuckled slightly, contemplating what he had said, "Yeah..that's the same thing...and I don't need new clothes..I made it work.."

"Whatever makes you happy" Zentsu smiled playing with his chopsticks Lighting them on fire letting it burn down to his finger. "Any flammable substance is considered to be a fuel. The world is one big fire waiting to happen. And there are those.. who are only ment to be a spark" Zentsu was obviously talking to himself lost in thought for a moment

Manami listen to the boy talking to himself, after rambling quitely about the ramn being "good food" she turned to him, taking a sip of water "That didn't make sense..not everything is flammable..therefore not everything would set on fire..therefore the whole world would not be able to set on fire..making it impossible for it to be a big fire..and if you tried to set the world on fire..you'd be killed on the spot..I mean..even if you meant that metaphotically..i would still pick holes in your theory." She joked, grinning at the boy.

Glaring and rolling his Eyes Zentsu muttered under his breath "I'll set you on fire then we'll see" He got up stretching "So what are you doing in this dump?"

"Ha..I think we know what happens when you set me on fire boy.." Manami laughed, finishing her last bit of ramen and getting up too, "Well..I was trying to have a bit of a rest,,but then some boy felt the need to annoy me...yourself?"

Laughing at her Zentsu leaned against the wall "If i say vacation will you believe me?" Zentsu raised his eyes brow curiously

She shook her head giving him a disbeliving look, "Not at all...but hey..you lie if you want!" She shrugged, gave him a little smile and spun round beginning to walk away.

Zentsu watched her leave something tugged at him. Without thinking avout it Zentsu fell in line beside her "Well maybe its a secret mission?"

Manami raised an eyebrow, "Very few missions are secret..and as you just said that..it can't be that secret...what are you really doing here..maybe i'll be nice and help...but only if it sounds fun!"

Zentsu side and pulled out his cut headband showing he was rogue "Ok, if you have a very loose definition of fun. Im here to find and kill the rest of Gatō's men Who are said to be hiding around here."

Manami pursed her lips in thought. 'It could be fun...but it might just cause more trouble..' she thought to herself before she sighed slightly and looked to the boy. "My definition of fun is certainly not loose..but kill some things can be..quite fun..so..maybe i'll join you.."

"How about killing a small army of the best samurai. Finishing with a the biggest drug kingpin in all of the great nations. Hows that for fun, Well i guess you joining me will help i dont have to hire rogues and kill them afterwards" Zentsu smiled alittle staring at the sky. "Well were not doing anything tonight way to late"

Manami shrugged heading for a neaby hotel, "Samurai are easy when you have a bow..i'll consider it as target practice.." She hmmed to herself thinking about it whilst enterting the hotel, "And..if you try and kill me afterwards..you'll have trouble my friend.."

Zentsu having no where to stay and no money till after the mission walked back to town after she dissapeared in the hotel deciding to sleep in a tree outside of the village. overlooking the mansion he would attack tommorow

Manami happily skipped into the hotel, booking a room for a few nights. When she had done so she headed off to her room and fell onto the bed. 'So comfy..' She thought to herself wriggling around, enjoying the comfort for a change. She dragged the cover over herself and slowly fell to sleep.

Zentsu who had fallen asleep in the tree waking early going over to the hotel to wake Manami Knocking softly on her window sitting on her window sil Zentsu smiled "Wakey wakey sleeping beauty We've people to kill."

Manami rolled about under the sheet, groaning tiredly. "MM ok..but tomorrow we do what I want to do..." Still half asleep she rolled out of bed and grabbed some clothes from her bag. It happened to be a dress she'd had to rip most of the bottom off, it was now fairly short and she was forced to put on long socks to cover herself. She got changed in the bathroom and chuckling slightly at her clothing she wandred back out, grabbed her bow and other weapons and climbined out of the window. "Let's go..I'll wake up on the way.."

"I could wake you up" Zentsu grinned making fire appear in his hand closing his fist when she was ready. Making his way to the tree he slept in last night "OK here's the basic rundown. The whole place is surrounded by Samurai at diffrent post. they dont just use sheer number they have a formation and they can control chakra i haven't seen them use jutsu so i think we're safe there. Once we get inside thats when they'll use sheer numbers i small spaces, what i want is on the second floor they'll only be three and theyre the most skilled. and there bodys are what i need to collect to get the bounty" Zentsu looked over at her "Got it all?"

She rolled her eyes, "Sure.." She looked around, checking the areas spotting any trees that were tall enough for what she needed. "Target practice.." She mummbled before running off and climbing up a high tree nearby. "You sneak in when they're down...then i'll follow.." She winked at Zentsu and pulled out her bow, taiking aim at the first few guards.

Zentsu Rolled his eyes and decided to let her do all the work on the outside. "As you wish master" Zentsu sat down on the ground waiting for her to be done

Manami took down each of the guards before they had any chance to give warning to the inside. Expecting Zentsu to have headed inside already she jumped down and gave him a strange look. "Come on then.." She muttered heading for the castle. "You know..we could do this in an incredibly funny way..."
