Re: Two Peens in a Pod [Shin]

Tue Jul 13, 2021 8:50 am

Shin would chuckle when Hoori suggested that he ‘crack a smile at times’ to get women to fawn over him. This was a recurring conversation between the two of them, mainly because Shin knew exactly what he was missing out on, but unlike Hoori he simply didn’t care. The Assassin was, in absolutely no way, innocent… and he knew damned well that he was the type of man that a lot of women wanted, he simply didn’t care for it. Shin had tried it all before, the party life… and he hated it. He was a bit of an odd one in that regard, doubly so when one considered that he was in no way asexual or uninterested… it wasn’t a non-factor, it simply wasn’t enough of a problem that he saw the need to do something about it. Hoori, on the other hand… Well, The Hunter was as insatiable as they came, and he always seemed to want to play the part of the ‘wingman’ for Shin. Heh… perhaps one day he’d inform the man of his meeting with the Kazekage and his fascination with her, just to slowly watch the colour drain from his friend's face at the idea.

Shin would give his partner a light bit of side eye at the kiss, not that anyone aside from Hoori could tell due to his completely featureless eyes, and as expected the social butterfly would simply give him a ‘what?’. It would simply earn him a chuckle and a light shake of the head from Shin.

“Never change Hoori… I think I’d go insane from boredom if it wasn’t for you.” He would say, a light smirk on his face that would grow a little wider as he decided to make a little joke out of it.

“Let us just hope you don’t get us chased out of Sunagakure as we were Tanzoku Town. As amusing as it was watching you streak down the main street in the middle of the day, a veritable army of private guards on your heel… I would rather not have a repeat of that one, can’t tell you the nightmares I’ve had about your pasty ass since...Heh, I hope that nobles wife was worth it. I reckon they’ve still got a price on your head for that one.” He would say, recalling that specific incident like it was yesterday. He had damn near laughed himself senseless watching the nude Hoori dodge spears and sword strikes, leaping from rooftops and through market stalls… all in all it was true pandemonium, and once he had escaped Shin was able to provide him with some clothes, retrieve their belongings and quickly make their way out of the area.

There was a small chuckle from the male as he scratched his head and looked at the compliment as endearing as he knew that Shin wasn't...one to be doting on others," Aw gee thanks buddy. You sure know how to make a moment special," though there was a hint of sarcasm, he did mean the words that were spoken. When he brought up the Tanzaku Town incident, Hoori gave a small laugh and shook his head," We swore to never speak of that dark day again. While it was a night and a morning I shall never forget, having an army of drones afer me was not in the cards...but here we are right. Also you are forgetting one key piece that was not mentioned...It was his wife and eldest daughter...I regret nothing by the way," the last bit was uttered to Shin in silence, though the look on Hoori's face was priceless as he looked around and spoke it. At the moment however he straightened himself up and put on his game face. The incident in Tanzaku town would probably be the one thing that gets him killed in this life, but he was never going to stop living the way he did. The memory did put a smile on his face because it was one while it was chaotic, it was also fun. As their mission began, Hoori would take his place in the carriage with their client and activating his Byakugan to keep watch. It was probably the same tactic his partner would take, but having one inside and one outside would have been the strategically better option.

Shin couldn’t help but burst out laughing at Hoori’s correction regarding the situation, and his statement of regretting absolutely nothing. Honestly, he couldn’t think of a man or woman that he knew that would regret the same situation… hell, not even he found himself regretting that situation, despite the fact that it had cost him a rather high profile client and it hadn’t even been he who got to enjoy the spoils of the night. Hoori spiced things up, and despite the fact that he had a tendency to make things harder… Shin loved the extra challenge that it would sometimes provide. The solo life was indeed easier, but it was a lot more boring… he had meant it when he said without Hoori he would likely have been driven insane by the sheer boredom of professional jobs, or hell, maybe he would have even gotten himself killed by taking jobs and fights that were out of his league. Regardless of what would have happened, Hoori had managed to spice life up enough that The Assassin was quite content with his life as it was… well, aside from the fact that he was currently as weak as an alcoholic's bladder… once that little issue was fixed he’d be a lot happier.

Shin knew full well that Hoori would ride with the woman, and he was not about to enter that carriage lest his partner begin to get frisky… he didn’t need yet ANOTHER free show, he’d gotten enough of those over the years, and frankly he didn’t think he would ever forget the things he had seen… as much as he WISHED that he could. The Byakugan could be as much a curse as it could be a blessing, although he would admit, Hoori had desensitised him to such things years ago… but again, that didn’t change the fact that he didn’t want to see any more of Hoori’s junk.

Shin would have his Byakugan active and would walk alongside the carriage to their destination, and within a couple of hours they would all arrive, no issues whatsoever along the way. Upon arrival Shin would wait for Hoori to exit the carriage before anything else.

Hoori sat in the carriage with the client with a small smile on his face as he hummed to himself and held a small conversation with the client. This time he wouldn't openly flirt with the customer and not out of restraint. No he was more so being courteous to his partner who had probably seen more of the Hyuga than he cared to in a lifetime. That and he didn't want to be run out of yet another nice little spot that he enjoyed visiting. The two would have a nice conversation that involved where he was from originally and how he came into this line of work which he leaned against the window of the carriage gently and explained," I hail from the land of Rice, a very small and non-shinobi dominant land. There my family laid their roots and without the system as these lands have it to regulate them...well they were the law within their own lands. For people like myself who didn't partake in the natural fighting style of the clan it was...rough but I managed for a bit somehow. Still ended up getting kicked out and disowned but I found a better life in the shinobi lands than I ever did at home...and its allowed me to meet some interesting people," he would flash her a small smile which caused her to blush and he wouldn't mention Shin for a solitary reason- He wasn't going to give out information on his partner that was not essential and could very well lead people into digging into his own person life.

When the carriage stopped at their destination, he would open the door and assist their client out before giving her a small kiss on the hand," Safe and sound milady. Do enjoy yourself and stay out of trouble alright?," he didn't try and act extra but he did notice the look she gave him...was there going to be a hunt later? Probably not but one could never know the future.

Shin would lightly hum to himself as he trekked through the desert, the heat quite irritating but nothing truly terrible, and with the clothes he had purchased and was wearing he wasn’t at risk of being burned. They were nearly at their destination, thank the gods, and to make things even better Hoori had simply made smalltalk with their client the entire time! If he hadn’t simply been counting individual grains of sand for literal hours he may even say that today had been a good day. When the carriage came to a stop Hoori would help Hana out of the carriage, kissing her hand before bidding her farewell… although he seemed to be forgetting something quite important. Shin would clear his throat lightly, causing Hana to turn to face him.

“I hate to interrupt, but our payment please.” He would say, causing the woman to gasp minutely before bowing lightly in apology. Shin would wave her off with an easy smile, and would accept the payment quite graciously. Before leaving he would offer her their services for the return journey.

With that done Ken would turn to Hoori.

“Feel free to just wait here for a few minutes while I deliver this package, it won’t take longer than five minutes and we can start heading back to Suna.” The Assassin would say, before simply turning to walk towards the town square, looking for a specific shop.

Hoori turned to his partner as he blinked and then instantly remembered what he had forgotten to ask for- the money. A thin layer of red came across his face as he chuckled sheepishly and fell silent to allow the other male to collect payment. Hoori on the other hand watched the client with a small sort of interest as Shin offered their services for the return trip which caused him to smile. What would unfurl in their return trip home was unknown to him and yet he was still going to make sure he was on his "best" behavior. When Shin recommended Hoori stay back for a bit so he could deliver something, Hoori gave a nod of an agreement and parked his butt where the carriage was since apparently they would be escorting the young madam back to suna with them. For now he would wait for Shin to come back, of course keeping his byakugan active just to make sure his partner did not need any help and there were no threats in the area.

Due to just how small the town of Oashisu was Shin would find his way into the main inn of the town within a minute or so, and he would begin asking around for one Shinzo Takami, the man whose belongings he was delivering. The locals were quite rude and dismissive of him, but really, Shin didn’t care enough to even be insulted by their attitudes, and eventually they got annoyed enough to point him towards the mans house if it would make him leave. He took great pleasure in the annoyance on their faces when he flashed them a smile and thanked them for their help. The Assassin would follow the directions he was given and find the house that was described, and with but a glance he could see an elderly man was sitting within the living room. A knock on the door summoned the sole occupant of the house, and a simple question was enough to confirm this was indeed the man he was looking for.

“Greetings Shinzo, I’m Shin and I’ve been sent from Sunagakure to deliver you those goods you purchased from Takeda in The Flailing Dragon.” he would explain with an easy smile, causing the man's eyes to widen a little in excitement as he opened a small scroll and unsealed the contents within, revealing two beautifully forged Katana’s, although it was obvious they were more for decoration than actual use.

“Oh thank you ever so much young man, I cannot describe just how important these items are to me. You see, I’ve a niece getting married to a young man from Sunagakure, and these are to be a gift from my family to theirs.” The man would explain, earning little more than a nod from the rather uninterested Hyuuga.

“...Hmm, I do wonder if you would be willing to do an old man a favour sonny? You came from Sunagakure, so you’re no doubt going to be returning there, and I happen to need someone to deliver what little remains of my niece's dowry to the family she is marrying into, and they happen to live in Sunagakure. If you would be so inclined to deliver it, I would gladly make it worth your while.” The elderly gentleman would explain, earning a small hum from Shin, before a small smirk split his scarred face and he nodded his acceptance.

“Oh wonderful, thank you again young man. Allow me a minute to retrieve the funds.” He would say, earning little more than a smirk from Shin, who would simply start to whistle as the old man went and grabbed a sealed envelope filled with a decent amount of ryo, as well as a smaller stack of ryo that he could only assume was his payment. When the man returned he would prove Shin’s assumption correct, and with an easy smile he would accept the sealed envelope and the smaller sum that he was offered. There had to be close to 10,000 ryo within the sealed envelope, but really, the 2,000 that he was given to simply return it was enough to stop him from simply opening it and taking the contents. This older man had been nothing but polite from the moment he met him, and he wasn’t going out of his way for him or anything, it was just a simple delivery.

Only fifteen minutes after he left Hoori he would return and meet up with his partner.

“Okay Hoori my man, job here is done and I managed to snag us another easy one with upfront payment. We’ve gotta deliver a young maidens dowry to a rather well off family in Suna. Here’s your cut of the reward.” He would say, handing Hoori 1,000 ryo of the 2,000 that he had received from Shinzo.

“C’mon, let’s start heading back. Maybe if we’re lucky we can find some travellers on the way back.” He would then say with a somewhat predatory smirk on his face.

While Shin had been busy dealing with another job, Hoori would take a seat and humbly wait for his partner to come back. Being along was usually a bad thing with Hoori since he would easily be getting off into trouble, but while the two had been on a work grind he was "trying" to be on his best behavior but that would only last for so long. Whistling a tune to himself he would draw the attention of a few people, a group of two women and what looked to be a smaller male though upon first glance he might have likened them to a woman. As they approached Hoori would continue to hum his little tune with an audience now. When he stopped that was when he had noticed the trio's presence and smiled," Well good afternoon to the three of you. What may I do to make your days better besides look handsome," with his trademark smile he would give to them, he stood up slowly to see what it was they had needed...besides him. It took them a minute to collectively determine what they wanted, but a small conversation is what they wanted...for the moment. He had some time to kill and once Shin had came back it would be time to leave...no sense in him passing it alone.

By the time his partner had came back, one of the three would be in his lap and the other two crowded around him as he continued," So that's why I am here. A weary traveler looking for work and...some occasional company. If that be the three of you then my arms and bed shall always be open...and available for as long as you so choose," At this point he would have probably picked up on Shin walking back and his smile would falter for just a moment as work would have to take precedence but when he saw the money he smiled and reached to take it," Must work always come before playtime...Alas. Well you three. come to Suna tonight...i'll make sure you are all well taken care of the night mm?," his words would probably get him in trouble as it were...but what was life without a little fun? Standing up each of the three would receive a kiss before he waved them off and walked beside Shin," So...you want to have some fun tonight or are you leaving that to me?"

With his Byakugan Shin could see his partner, and the antics he was getting up to, as he approached… and The Assassin could do little more than chuckle. Thankfully, when he arrived Hoori would detach from his adoring fans, and the two would begin their trek back, his partners question earning a chuckle from him.

“I’ll admit, the redhead has me quite tempted… ehh why not, it’s been awhile anyways.” He would say with a somewhat feral grin on his face. He had initially planned on turning down the ‘offer’ but, well, he had a weakness for redheads and he was indeed quite pent up.

On the duo’s return trip to Suna Suna they would come across a merchant caravan, and Shin would smirk and eye his partner.

“You know the drill, you distract them and I’ll put my thieving skills to use.” He would whisper.

As Hoori got the attention of the group Shin would continue down the road, acting as though he simply chose to go on ahead, and once he was out of sight he would slip off the road and make his way back. Using his Byakugan he would watch everyone in the area and ensure that he was always out of sight, and seek out where they stored their ryo, something that was made infinitely easier by the eyes he had been born with. He would take a couple of thousand to be split between himself and Hoori, enough that it would be noted if they did count their totals but not enough to really put effort into investigating. With that done he would release a small series of whistles that could be mistaken for a bird, before pulling back and moving down the road once more. He would wait for Hoori to catch up, before handing the man his half of the stolen money.

“As easy as ever.” He would say simply, a small smirk on his face.

The duo would continue their trek to Sunagakure, and once they’d returned he would turn to his partner.

“Okay, I’ll finish up this last little job and then we’re free for the rest of the day. With how far that village was from Suna I daresay we’ve got until this evening before our ‘guests’ arrive, so we can probably get some training in as well. So, I’ll meet you in our room soon and we can decide what we wanna do until our evening entertainment arrives”

With that said, Shin would head off to finish the delivery. It was quite easy to find the estate that he was after, and delivering the sealed envelope was as easy as handing it to one of the guards at the door. There was no need for him to personally deliver anything, after-all.

And with that Shin would make his way back towards the Outer Heaven Inn

A small smirk appeared on his face as he nodded and slipped his hands into his pocket," Guess I should get a temporary room for myself with the raven haired male and his brunette friend...let's see if they are as frisky as they led on to believe," Hoori was known as a purveyor of all types. If he saw you fancied him and he fancied you? He would pursue but he would never go for those he considered friends...or family for that matter. That only made things messy and complicated and he didn't need that in his life," Finally! I get you to enjoy yourself. Drinks and more tonight after we finish our last rounds...Ahh who knew Suna would be our new land of opportunity eh?," nudging Shin lightly with his elbow he would begin to march to the right of Shin, quite happy with how the events of today played out. His light blue eyes would catch sight of the caravan not too far from him and once he knew Shin had seen it the plan was already made in the bosses head. Smiling he would move toward the front of the carriage and hailed it to stop if not for just a moment," Just a moment of your time kind sir. I have been traveling to and fro in these unknown lands and I have ran out of water. Could you by chance find it in your heart to part with some of your water and maybe some conversation? I hate being alone and it makes me...a little dry in a sense if I cannot practice my social skills," at first the driver would be a little hesitant at speaking with a stranger, but seeing that Hoori was not a threat he would part with some of his water and holding a conversation in the meantime.

Hoori would smile and drink from the skin that he was given and chuckle," Well I have traveled a great distance to see the world. Only made it this far today...I take it you are a merchant by trade? How is that life?," of course he didn't really care about any of this...he knew about the life of trade a little too well, but for the sake of the mission he would continue to take interest. The signal was given as he smiled and bowed to the driver," Thank you very much for your time...be safe on your trips!!," and just ask quickly he would depart from their way and up the road. When he finally caught up to Shin he would smile and take his share," Easy when they do not expect nothing at all," when the two had made it back to the village and had some time to kill, Hoori would roll his shoulders and smile knowing he had something to pass the time while Shin turned in one final mission. Giving a small wave he would walk off toward a very familiar area," I'll meet you back at the inn then...I have a little lunch to catch...Oh! Do pick up some sake or whatever you want to drink it might be a long night for the both of us eh?," a small chuckle would escape as he disappeared into the depths of a crowd for some unwind time.
