Weasal your way in [P]

Spoiler:

A book flew across the room as Shouhei suddenly shot up from his bed as he heard the sound of nails or something similar tabbing against his window. Looking towards the window, he saw a familiar furry face hanging there smirking. Shouhei couldn’t quite hear what he said, but he could guess as much that it was saying “Oi let me in you” and some kind of insult. His educated guess would be that it was doorknob. He signed before getting out of bed and opening the window.

“Hey that's nice. You finally cleaned your room.” The honey badger noted now that his voice was finally audible. And well, it was right he had cleaned recently. However, that was mostly from a gunpowder accident which fortunately did not ruin his room as it was quite sizeable. “Anyhow, I just wanted to say you can delay that tribute a day or two. You’re getting female attention veeeeeeeery soooon.” His inflection turned somewhat teasing making Shouhei wonder if it was his big brother all of sudden. In any event, it seemed to run away after giving him that message, so Shouhei closed the window again and went over to get his book. While he did this, little did he know the badger ran past Hikari, gave her what looked like a thumbs up (he have opposable thumbs), then disappeared into a bush. (Note: Whether she sees it or not is up to you).

“Well that’s gonna be fun figuring out which page I was on.” Shouhei noted as he put the book back on a table somewhere near his door. He then preceded to go towards the main courtyard door that gave access to the compound.

As for Hikari, when she approached what was the compound of the Sato clan, she noticed that it was special as first off it was elevated from the sidewalk and road onto a platform of stone about six feet tall with a standard noble manor of six feet and seven inches tall on top. The walls were built with limestone and had ceramic rooftiles on top. As one could not see the manor from the sidewalk but only a small observatory, one could make the judgment that the manor was probably only about one story tall by itself. That was not to say the property tax of the land itself would be something to yawn about.

And then it was that Hikari saw Shouhei exist from a gate in the wall looking like he was expecting someone. He was lightly dressed in shorts and a hoody both of decent quality even if he looked a bit lazy. His shoes were your standard wooden sandals.

(Earlier that day)

It was about 7 A.M. in the morning when then young Hikari would lazily open her eyes and stretch her arms out as she yawned. She had gotten a good 10 hours of sleep last night, which was quite a wonderful amount of sleep compared to the sleep that she had gotten in the last 2 weeks. Hikari would lazily roll out of bed, her body felt horrible, especially that of her right arm, the one that she was trying to use the wind spiral jutsu yesterday. Part of her just wanted to sleep all day, and take the day off, but this was the day she had been waiting for! The day she was supposed to meet up with Shouhei at the compound for the Sato clan. Hikari would land on the gournd and have to forcer herself up, but she knew in a few minutes she would feel better when her body woke up more. She would go to her bathroom and take a long shower, trying to make sure she smelled nice when she got out. After all, today wasn’t a straight up training day, she was actualy going to meet up with someone!

As she steped out of the shower and started to put her clothes on, she stoped and thought about something, with all the time Shoushei would play around with her, maybe she should play a prank on him? In her undergarments, Hikari would cast the [i] Shadow Clone [i] Jutsu and summon a girl, exactly like Hikari who was also in her garments. The plan was simple, Hikari and her clone would both put on a different set of clothes, and go to Shoushei’s house, and they would see how long it would take for the young Shoushei to notice that this was just a clone of her rather than a twin, which is what Hikari would bring it up to him as (They hadn’t talked much about Hikari’s family, so Hikari thought she might get away with it.) As for why she did this while she was undressed, it was so that the clone Hikari could put on some clothes that were different than that of regular Hikari, so it wasn’t obvious that they were clones.
Hikari would put on the following outfit.

Spoiler:

The clone on the other hand, would wear this.

Spoiler:

The real Hikari would however, pull up her shirt, and put her headband around her waist, that way, then young genin wouldn’t see it immediately. As they finished dressing, they would put on deodorant, both put on different perfumes to throw him off even more. (Not a special amount, just what she would wear normally) Hikari would then go to her kitchen and eat an apple before going and grabing the box the cake was in. To be safe, both Hikari’s would take a side and carry it.

The cake

Together, the girls would walk out of the apartment, carrying the massive cake, toward the Sato compound.

(Regular time)

Namikaze and her clone would walk up to the Sato compound and admire the architecture of the buildings, and as she came to the gate of the compound, she saw Shoushei standing and waiting for her.

“Shoushei!” The real Hikari would call out looking at him, “I was hoping to surprise you like you surprised me! How did you know when I was coming? Also, did you meet my twin sister, Emil?”

The clone would pick up on this and say “I don’t think we have, any ways, Emil, Anyways, nice to meet you, I’d shake your hand, but ‘be a bit busy carrying this cake! Do you have anywhere we can put this down before we formally introduce?”

Shouhei had something between a dumbfounded and inquisitive look on his face as he saw the two girls approach. The two girls who looked like a carbon copy of each other. Maybe it was a clone, maybe it was a rare cause of identical twins. Like a really rare case. Eh, he would be able to figure out by looking into their eyes, as no human eye was identical. Okay there were other ways, but he wasn’t on that base yet. Perhaps he should just let it lay for now, and come back to it since they were approaching him.

“Heh. You will never surprise me like I surprise you, and you know it.” He responded somewhat teasingly and he followed up with, “As for how I found out. Had a little friend I can show you if we ever get into combat. Not against each other of course, but against others.” He winked doing the finger gun pose. “But don’t worry, it does not involve what is legally classified as stalking.” Not realizing that's the last thing you're supposed to say.

Turning towards the sister introduced as Emil, which he thought, was quite an odd jump from the naming convention used for Hikari. “And I don’t think we have. It’s nice to meet you although where to put the cake…I hope you two are okay with taking the back route” He followed up waving them to follow along as he went up the few steps and opened the gate. “Can’t have the maids pamper you two, or my grandparents finding out I am having cute and nicely dressed girls over. Yeah I like your outfits by the way.” Although his smile was directed at the clone when he noted about their clothes.

The courtyard he let them into was somewhat bipolar in its organization. On the one side, you had a layout one would expect from a noble house that was presentable and pretty with a few traditional Japanese statues and cherry trees without flowers; while the other side was a walled off – although with thinner walls – place that had warehouses and a few workshops. Through some of the opened gates, the girls could see some fabrics put out to have the dye dry. It was a dry and sunny day after all in spite of it being a bit cold. No one was working right now though.

Shouhei let them off the path towards the main entrance and lead them behind to his room, which was on the same side as the warehouse and workshops. If they looked into the windows they might notice a few guest room, but otherwise there wasn’t much to see. Shouhei walked with his hands in his pockets until he reached the outdoor to his room, and took them out to open them. “Here we go.” He held it open for them, and as they stepped inside they would note the lack of the smell of a boy’s room, although the hint of the gunpowder accident could still be hinted at. The room itself was a spacious made with the ceiling made of wood along with the walls (Although unbeknownst to her the walls were reinforced with stone). The floor were made of a similar kind of limestone as the foundation outside, however they were much smoother, and carpeted here and there. She would also notice that the stone eradiated a bit warmth. The as she looked through the room she would notice a theme about what was on the shelves. Books, and things you would find in a thinkers’ workshop (Oh and his sewing gear in that corner over there along with a cabinet with fabrics). However, it were all organized and not messy as one would expect. Even the desks one could see had been used for something wear cleared. There wasn’t any smell of oil or chemicals either (other than the small burnt smell that still lingered). As for furniture, there was his bed (a size one and a half size one with an adjustable height you could easily get lost in on a Sunday morning), a reading chair with foot rest, and a small tea table set up in one of the corners. It seemed a bit out of place from the rest and not that used.

“Okay just place the cake on the tea table while I get some plates and tea.” He pointed to the set up in the corner. “I’ll just move my old buddy over there.” He pointed to the reading chair then pointed to a heavy cabinet that looked reinforced, and another that had veils with funny colored fluids on them. “Don’t touch those two while I am gone. One got volatile materials in it, and the other is where I keep my acids and industrial materials.” Then he went off getting the utensils and tea giving the two enough time to explore before he came back and placed them on the table.

As Hikari came closer to the estate, she would notice that Shouhei was slightly taller now, but because of her heels, she would think that he was still shorter than her, The clone however would notice that he was the same height as her as she was just in some sandals, just like how Shouhei was wearing sandlas.

As he greeted them, the boy would bring up how he would be able to never surprise him like he could surprise them. Well, If the bomb of her becoming a genin already wasn’t enough to throw him off, then she might have to concede defeat on surprising him. As he continued talking, he would say something about his little friend, and about not what would be ‘legally classified as stalking.’ This would throw Hikari and her clone off, and would show some concern on their faces, but before they would say something, they decided it was best just to keep that in the back of their minds and act like it was a joke.

“’legally classified as stalking?’” The real Hikari would ask and tilt her head and joke. “Then what would it be classified as?”

Sato would look at the two, and introduce himself to the clone, he would look at her suspiciously, Hikari was scared he might of figured out, but decided not to say anything currently. He would tell the two girls that they needed to go the back route and would say he didn’t want his grandparents to see him take two girls that was well dressed into his place. Hikari wondered why, but she wouldn’t ask currently, although she was curious why he said that, as Hikari was in just normal everyday clothes. Then he would notice him look the clone up and down and did notice that the clone was slightly more dressed up than Hikari. As the two would walk through the Sato estate, the two girls would take note of how nice, big, and how much it had that traditional Jappanesee design to it. If Hikari knew this was what the Satos were like, she probably would have worn a kimono over to see them.

As the three of them went through the estate, they would go off the main path and would go a back way toward somewhere, once again, Hikari was quite intrigued why she was getting the feeling this was a stealth or infiltration mission. After a few short minutes of walking, Hikari would find themselves being led into a room. The two came in and found they were being led into a bed room. With that, The clones would turn a bright shade of red as they didn’t understand why they had to be in here to talk, but they understood that they didn’t know everything that was going on, so they figured they’d wait to find out. One thing they noticed was the lack of a boy’s room smell, and at the same time that it was quite clean, which surprised the chestnut haired teen, as she figured Sato was the jokester kind that would probably not keep his area clean. That being said, the two girls would take their shoes off and leave them at the door and step in. The other thing that they were surprised at was the fact that this place seemed like some sort of workshop to create things with. Hikari would tilt her head, trying to figure it out but would enter the room. The two girls were told to put the cake on the tea table and they would do just that, before Shouhei would go out and grab some utensils, leaveing the two girls alone. Hikari wanted to look around and touch everything, but felt like that would be rude, and as such would just take a seat by the tea table. Now, this brought up a few akward situations. First, the boy had just brought the two girls into his room, and that was quite a…. bold…. Thing to do….. As Hikari said before, this was probably just with him being so secretive about the girls being here, but why were they so secretive about the two being here? This seemed to her a little bit more than just normal boy hiding a girl from the parents kind of thing (Although Hikari hasn’t had a lot of experience with people her own age, so what does she really know?) Hikari would make a note of this and make sure to ask when he got back. The second awkward thing that this brought up was that she was now alone with her clone with nothing to do. If this was actually her, ‘twin’ the two could talk and it would be fine, but since it wasn’t, the two would have to talk with each other or make it seem like something was going on in between them, or give away the fact that Emil was a clone.

“So….” The real Hikari would say, “Did you notice that he got a little bit taller?”

“Um, Yeah! He is the same height as us now!” The clone would act a bit surprised before catching on the situation.

“What? No he isn’t, I still have about an inch or two on him!”

“No you don’t, what you have are 2 inch heels.”

Hikari would remember that, and would make a note to double check when she got the next opportunity. After that, the two would talk about Hikari’s jutsu practice until the young boy got back to them.

When he did get back, the clone would open the cake and show it to him, and Hikari would say “Hey, thanks for having us over, especially the +1 without any warning, I needed some help carrying this big cake over here.”

After Shouhei put down the tea and utensils, he went over and easily picked up the reading chair by the backrest with one hand as if he was carrying a stool. As for the tea, it was just your standard boiled water with a tea bag in it. Shouhei hadn’t bothered asking one of the maids – because then they would make half a tea ceremony – so it was only as simple as that. As for the plates, they were a bit standard in shape and made of cheap pottery, but their color was a basalt black. He had however, gotten some proper cake forks.

Sitting down he responded to her appreciation. “You are welcome, and by that before I meant someone annoying knocked on my window and told me you were coming. Can’t say why he didn’t mention your sister though.” He began to pour the two tea hoping they would start to cut the cake. “Here you go. Regular black tea. We didn’t have any lemons unfortunately. Hope you found something interesting while I was away~” His inflection took a high tune to it when he noted to see if they had indeed looked at his shelves.

Hikari and 'Emil' would graciously take the tea and sip it, it wasn't the best tea Hikari had tasted, but she was used to that as she had been working at a tea shop for a while and knew that most people couldn't make tea as well as her family (Although, She was taught how to make tea since she was a young girl, and when she was young, she made the worst tea, so she was also used to tasting horrible tea.)

Hikari and the clone would sip the tea, and Hikari would think for a second about what would happen to the tea that went into Emil when she disapeared? Would it just appear where she was? Or would it leave with her? Hikari was currious at this and look at her 'twin' as if expecting a response. The clone would look back at her, obviously wasn't sure what she should tell her and even more so in front of Shouhei. So they looked back at Shouhei.

"Don't worry about it!" Emil would say and smile, "We grew up in a small tavern where we had to learn how to make tea at a young age. We had to taste test each other's tea, and this is far better than that. So don't worry about it! Also, we were a bit scared to go through your..... stuff..... Since it all looked so complicated, we didn't want to mess with anything."

Hikari would take the utensils and start cutting into the cake, She really hoped Shouhei liked it, and if she didn't well, maybe she won't tell him that she made it. As she did and 'Emil' would finish up, Hikari would bring up another topic. "So, Out of curiosity, why are we trying to be secretive right now? Like, we had to go the back way to get in here, we had to stay here while you got the tea, and the fact that we are in your room right now! You know, most girls would be kind of scared right now." Hikari didn't want to say that she was also scared right now a little bit, but she didn't want to show that.

The comment about the tea made him send a smile towards the girls. Now the question of secrecy was simple enough and would be answered very soon; however, her question concerning a girls being in her room made him raise an eyebrow. Not that he wasn’t going to answer her in spite of him finding it odd that she thought so much about it when she wasn’t there alone. “Well if it was just one of you, I would have taken you to the kitchen or living room, but I figured you two wanted to see my room and all that. Plus, not all guys have a dream of having a threesome with twins so you two can relax. Or in my case I think it's too much work.” His face cut a big goofy grin then went back to a relaxed state as he went for the rest of the question. “As for the secrecy…well my parents believes I am that age where every girl I bring home is a girlfriend and I didn’t want them to get all over you. It’s kinda funny that they do that when they just gave me a sister a year ago. My grandparents are better in that regard, but like inquiring into your background, your ideals and ideas, and so on.”

As Shouhei would explain why they were in his room, It would make Hikari feel a little bit better, (She still would of preferred the living room instead, but at least there is a little bit of merit behind what he said) She sort of wished he wouldn't of added that last part about 'not all guys have a dream of having a threesome with twins.' At the same time, it made sense from what Hikari knew about him.

As the young genin would continue to explain why he was hiding her, and Hikari would understand this, since she was close to marrying age, and since she was 12, her parents were on her about having a boy friend, and towards the end, they were also asking about her getting married. So he understood parents being pushy on that subject. As for the grandparents, with all honesty, Hikari wouldn't mind answering some questions about herself, but would understand why Shouhei wouldn't want to talk to much about it.

Now came the big question, as Hikari would cut 3 slices of cake and hand them out to each of them out, did she go a ahead and tell Shouhei? Or did she wait and reveal it later to him. Hikari felt like it was a little bit better to talk about him first.

"Yeah, I can get behind that, when my parrents were alive they would bug me on the same things, and..... we had to keep telling them 'Mom! There arent even any boy's around our age here!' So we understand about that, also try some of the cake!" Hikari would offer Shouhei the corner piece before continuing. "By the way, this is a nice room you have. It looks like you make things in here, what do you make?" Hikari would hope he wouldn't joke and say babies though, otherwise she might have to leave.

”Your parents are dead?” Shouhei’s eyebrows raised a bit in surprise. “I am sorry to hear that, and wish the both of you the best. Yeah. That is a similar case that I have with my parents. First I was to go down the arranged marriage route, but then they thought I would find a cute ninja woman to marry in a few years.” He noted being somewhat more open than usual. As for the cake, he accepted the graciously, and sampled some. As the taste went through his taste buds, a huge smile spread over his lips.

She asked about his room, but something else went to his mind before he would answer. Picking up a piece of strawberry with a cake fork, he guided it towards Hikari. “It’s good, you should try some. Say ‘Ah’.” And if he could he would put it into her mouth. Then he turned his face towards Emil being obvious to the gutter joke for once. “Ehm, I build some mechanical contraptions. Mostly clockwork or string powered contraptions. Over there is a coin machine. Put a coin in and it should activate the string thingy and it will spin around ‘dancing’. I never got it to play music though. I also like making fireworks and explosions. However, I wasn’t really able to do much of that didn’t involve a little chemistry set before becoming a genin.”

Hikari had forgotten she hadn't said anything about her family, and with all honesty, she didn't really want to think alot about it, as such she and Emil would get a little bit flustered, and the two would start to try change the subject. At that point, this point the young boy would offer to put his fork in Hikari's mouth and usualy Hikari would probably just look at him with a weird look on her face, but being so desperate to make a topic change, Hikari would open her mouth with a little "Ahhhhhhhh" and let him put the cake into her mouth. A mere moment after that, Hikari would get flustered and start to blush, feeling really hot right now. Desperate to change the subject again, Hikari would ask about his room.

He would explain how he had been making a mechanical items for a long before he became a genin, Hikari would listen to it, and wonder,

"So, if you had an arranged marriage, such a good hobby and job lined up for you, why did you become a gennin?" Hearing his story and looking at where he lived, Hikari started to think this boy might be nobility, but scratched it out of her thoughts as she realized that he was obviously not of a noble.... personality.
