Kagerou didn't who this fellow banging his head into the wall was. He could fathom why he may be banging his head into the wall. However, he had been privy to his outburst against Unki and subsequent announcement of his status as her ally. Well, even if he wasn't her ally, he probably still wouldn't agree with his choice of simply beating himself up.
As the "bump bump bump" resounded in the suspense-filled silence of the dimmed room and Unki's eyes were drawn to the light like a moth, a green haired fellow stepped out from behind the pillars he had swiftly hidden himself behind when he entered during the confusion of the attack. Earlier, he had taken quick advantage of both Unki and the oinin operative being ducked behind the love seat to join unnoticed, with a jamming technique active, of course.
"bump bump flump?" With the jamming technique still active, Kagerou walked quietly to the lightly self-injuring fellow and intervened with her hand to kindly stop Mr. Bookworm's head from connecting with the wall. "I'm glad you're not doing that as hard as you could," the lively smiling male commented, "But maybe you should pay attention to the light behind you?". Then, and only after he finished speaking, did he release the sensory jamming.
With his scarlet eyes, blending in with the lighting of the room, Kagerou motioned to the open elevator door behind him. If he caught the empress's eyes looking at him, then he'd give her a friendly wave and an equally friendly smile.
It would be a familiar smile, and likewise, no efforts had been made earlier to hide a familiar lilt in the unfamiliar masculine voice. Kagerou had transformed to a gender that would better serve him for the mission, not so he could hide his identity from the empress. In fact, right now, he very much wanted Unki to realize who he was asap. The faster she recognized him, the less he had to explain.

A foot stepped out into the dark night as she let out a sigh. The place she had recently exited was rumored to be an adult establishment focused on pain. Receiving or giving. 'Ahh that feels so much better! Best thing ever! Shame it had to ended to early... kind of pricey aren't they.' Sweat covered her skin, glistening Nozomi, and make it seemed like she had a glow with the bright street lights. Her hues glanced up towards the night sky for a moment as her back stung with pain. Her wrists. Ankles. All hidden underneath the clothes and she showed no expression that she was uncomfortable or in pain. In fact, she looked content. Calm. 'Perfect job. Not too much pain but just right. Just what I needed.' The night was cool and chilly, being high up in the sky would do that. Walked down the streets, each shift of the fabric caused the marks to burn more but it was good.
A perfect distraction. People talking, women flirting with men for money, she glanced around and made sure there was no child on scene. Just perfect. Used her sensor techniques, she recognized one person. Toso. This halted the red-haired female in her steps. If anyone was paying attention, it would seem like she was at a conflict, making a decision. With a sigh, the Uzumaki rose her arm to wipe the sweat some from her face as she entered into a bar. It was quiet. Dark. Less loud and more soothing music. It was obvious that this bar wasn't meant for people that were loud. In one booth there was a nervous-looking man with an obvious woman, flirting. He reeked of guilt. Then she saw it. A wedding ring. 'Ooh maybe I should flirt with him, he would look fun to play... but he wouldn't be fun to myself. Chuckled to herself, she left the couple be as she approached at the bar, "A bottle of straight whiskey." The man stated the price as she paid up, "And two glasses." She added as he brought it out to her.
Her hand grasped the whiskey bottle as she used her free fingers to hold the glass as she looked around a bit more. There, she found him. 'Biiiiittch you should ******** punch him in the face!' Approached him, she set the bottle down and the glasses. "Mind if I join in?" She was sure this was the real Toso unless her sensory was failing her once again. 'Seriously!? Him or the clone, whatever, gave us a frickin curse mark, and you want to join him as if you two are buddies buddy. What a joke.'

pup pup pupNothing is ever just black and white.
~Current Theme Music~:Fragrance of Dark Coffee "Oh? Assuming you don't mind company?" In the current get up Nozomi was wearing he hadn't recognized her, that on top of the bars lighting. His response could only have been compared to a pleasant surprise. Shortly did a man appear washing his hands from the bathroom. In front of Toso was an untouched margarita and next to him three empty glasses of what was by the smell of it either scotch whiskey or brandy. Being the principal she'd have recognized him. Vesta Artuccio. Basic combat and special education. When he wasn't working at the academy he worked in the Spire's daycare center. He often received comments on his outward appearance betraying the kindness in his heart. He'd sit on the bar-stool with a thump gripping his forehead with Toso's attentions currently focused on him rather than what he believed to be currently a stranger in the dark offering a friendly beverage. Toso was patting the man on the back who dry heaved slightly. Vesta also had another career of course one that wasn't so public. That was being a member of Toso's posse known as the SQ6, of course they believed there wasn't really a leader among their squad, just that they looked out for each other and kept each other informed.
"I still can't get over it T. First those kids at the dock and then the academy gets set on fire..."Bloop, Ves. I've said it already this isn't any way your fault there are simply things beyond our control bloop.""Then whose fault is it T! You said this kinda s**t wasn't supposed to happen!" Vesta went from rubbing his head to heated and then back to rubbing his head again from over-stimulation. "not here. Not in Arashi. This is supposed to be a safe place, that was your promise T. How the hell are we gunna keep everyone playing nice if we can't even properly teach children right and wrong and when supposedly an 'impenetrable village' has literal terrorists under its god damn nose. Don't keep feeding me the bullshit T. I know you ain't feelin it, literally you put his name in the book, all of em. You gotta be feelin some deep s**t too, you...*hrk*" another one of his dry heaves but this time it feeling like the real deal he covered his mouth and indicated he'd be heading to the bathroom again and departed again for who would know how long. As the bathroom door closed the bottle of whiskey and two glasses came.
Toso would look at the empty glass and his untouched margarita with salt still around its trim. His reflection cast in them. Some sort of metaphorical analogy no doubt. "He's right you know. There's a well of both anger, disappointment, and helplessness that stirs inside of me at this very moment bloop. If there was to be someone at fault it would have to be myself. bloop. Not the teachers, not the vice principal, or even the principal. Education can only go so far and rebellion only arises when there are conditions that would instigate said rebellion bloop. I say that there are things beyond our power to control but perhaps if I had made security tighter, perhaps if I had established more proficient sensors, perhaps if I had more time to properly give the attention he needed....things would have turned out differently. Ah, but I don't know why I am telling you all this. Perhaps its simply the air in the room and your gesture of kindness that made it seem you'd be the type easy to talk to." He'd turn his head and look at the woman who would be pouring the drink only for the bar lighting to reflect truly who it was. Toso would look both shocked and surprised and rendered speechless perhaps even a tad embarrassed under his usually stoic face...then the bathroom door opened again to a familiar *hrrk*. Whom would then notice his home dog gettin poured out by a lady. "Damn it T. Save some for the rest of the squad. I'll hit up Gio to pick me up if you're getting groovy but ratting you out to Meyonnaise when I see her." Mayonnaise was the popular nickname the members of SQ6 used when referring to Kameyo when they didn't want to name drop the T-mans main squeeze since his messy breakup with Homura.

Her eyes gazed over the shots that seemed to belong to another person. "Not at all." Was her response as she sat down by him. Before she could talk to him, a man who she recognized approached them as her face soften. Nozomi had the urge to sit by him instead and talk to him, he was one of her best coworkers. He started to talk, to Toso. Nozomi rose an eyebrow. Did they know each other? Of course, they did. It was recent that Nozomi had gotten out a bit and meeting others. Who knew that it took a curse mark to do so. 'Tch, he's so weak.' She spat but Nozomi ignored it easily. She never saw Vesta as weak so the bitchy voice of hers didn't have any merit. Listened to their conversation, Nozomi poured herself a glass as she might as well be drinking it. Toso seemed to have a drink and honestly, she thinks Vesta had enough for now. Bringing the class to her lips, she shot her head back as she felt the burn down her throat. With a sigh, she wished that there was such a thing as an extremely safe place. There wasn't. Where there's humans, chaos, destruction, heartbreak, betrayal and many other follows. Not just those, there was also happiness, joy, sharing, love, dancing, and singing. There was more of course but too many to list. A dry heave was heard as Nozomi rose her eyebrow and watched Vesta run to the bathroom. Again. She wondered how many times that had happened now.
Her honey hues glanced towards Toso as he started to speak to her. Interesting how a bar can usually make people talk to others as if they are each other therapist. Therapist. Her mind went to a specific annoying green-haired female and just like that, she needed a drink. Poured herself another shot as she tilted her head back and the burn of the liquid went down her throat. She couldn't help but laugh softly as he started the what-ifs. He sounded like her honestly. What if she stopped the students? What if she put on a tighter watch on them? What if she knew about Satoshi's true heritage and protect him from it? "Sometimes I wonder if I am easy to talk to," Nozomi said honestly with a soft tone towards Toso and it seemed that both Toso and Vesta had reeled in surprise now noticing Nozomi. She also said it as a bit of a joke. "As a principal, some students are horrified to come into my office and won't talk to me. Others? Don't give a ******** and were more than thrilled to tell me what's on their minds." 'I should've gone back to corporal punishment, that'll straighten those students right on up.'
She couldn't blame them for their reaction towards her. Usually, she looked very professional, her hair was always up and she wore her shinobi clothes. Today? A whole different lady. Nozomi rose her eyebrow when Vesta seemed to hinted at Toso that he'll ask for another to come and get him if they were going to get 'groovy' Wasn't he a married man? 'Ain't nothing wrong with a bit of drama~' And who was Mayonnaise? "I was going to see if I can meet you tomorrow, so this is better." Nozomi purred, "It seems that we are not the only ones blaming ourselves. To be honest, I'm starting to come to the fact that all we can do is water the seed in other minds and just... hope for the best." She poured herself another whiskey as she took another shot. "There's someone I always wanted to meet. His name is Masahiro Hatake. I heard he's one of the best sealers. You would think with my bloodline being Uzumaki I would be good, but nooooo." She laughed and shook her head. "Maybe we could learn a thing or two from him. It seemed that his village is heavily defended and even... low crime rates surprisingly. Unless there's something happening in the background that we don't know about." She remembered the mission she was on with Unki and Cashew with that man... Chinchin. It took all she had not to kill him. Just the thought of him made her angry as she slammed the glass down, with enough chakra, shattering it everywhere as she sighed. Her temper was getting worse ever since the curse mark and that said curse mark helped awaken her other bloodline, lava.
"Seems I lost my temper for a bit there." Then she leaned forward to make sure she can get eye contact with Vesta, "As for you Vesta, I'm glad to see you. I'm glad you stayed with me despite everything. Here's what we going to do. On weekends, anything goes. Come back to school hours, we will do our damnest to help those students. Not... all can be saved. But we will save and educate many. After all, look at the recent graduates. The Hyuuga twins. They seemed to be doing very well. I would keep an eye on them. Wickedly smart. Aiyume and her pup... uh. Tusta I think. Yua, I don't know of, she's pretty new. Here's what I'm going to do. Even though they graduated I want them to feel like they can come back to me and ask questions and continue to learn. To learn from mistakes, live their lives, and protect Arashi's citizens." Her eyes then shot to Toso, a playful and mischievous smile crept onto her dark red lips, "And you." She poured a glass and gestured it towards Toso, "Thethreeofusaregoingtobefriends.Kagerou'sbeenbotheringmethatIneededsome.Eventhoughyourevilclonegavemesuchasweetlittlelovelypartinggift~" She could've sworn she felt the mark on her back slightly twitch as she shot back another shot. With a sigh, she pushed the bottle back to the bartender. Despite already paying for the bottle, she didn't want to give Vesta any more than he already had since the panic was getting to him and Toso, barely touched his drink. 'Should've made a joke that the evil clone made me pregnant.' Nozomi started choking as she started to cough, at the surprise at her own frickin mind thinking that. That joke would be amazing but also bad timing, considering the events that occurred around Satoshi. Still coughing, she cleared her throat.

~Current Theme Music~:Fragrance of Dark Coffee "Ves." Toso would respond to his friend and co-worker in a stiff tone one would typically expect to come from a dad who just caught his kid reaching into the cookie jar in a typical 'don't you dare' fashion. In response Vesta did the usual arm over the shoulder stretch followed up by a chuckle only to give Toso a light punch on the shoulder before sitting down again. "Just busting your balls T. As if I don't recognize my own boss. Plus we all know you ain't a player." He pounded his chest for one of those half belches that usually come after having heaved exhaling the fume he hoped only he'd be able to smell and not the other two. "What does being good at sports have to do with it bloop?""G will tell you when you're older." he finished pounding his chest in time for Toso to enter a state of thinking like he was doing a difficult math equation. Vesta would lean across the table so he could better communicate in Nozomi's direction. "While T is crunching numbers I know where you're coming from boss lady. At the same time though you ever think that maybe its cause well...you ain't looking like you're having fun." Vesta cracked his neck as he put it bluntly. "If kids see that even their teachers ain't enjoying it and are all serious all the time why do they gotta do it to? What's the word...engaging. Everyone learns differently and all that jazz. My kids would be a handful if I didn't turn multiplication into a song." Vesta would lean back and almost fall forgetting that they were on barstools before he caught himself. "Since your the big P you're like the boogeyman to these kids y'know. Its gunna be even harder , you gotta put the Pal in PrinciPAL you feel."
After he had finished that sentence the phone in Toso's had hand vibrated he had spent that time to reach out to 'G' about the other meaning of the term 'player' when he was given the answer he just sighed. "If you weren't all artists I'd think you were all just run of the mill street punks bloop." Vesta would sling his shoulder over Toso's shoulder and dig his index finger into his chest poking him with smug look on his face. "You were a run of the mill street punk to T. Don't hate just because you forgot how to have fun." Toso would use one of his auxiliary tentacles to get his still slightly stumblely friend off of him. "I'm plenty eccentric, I just don't happen to feel that with whats been happening recently that it's appropriate bloop." Vesta would shrug as Toso would redirect his attentions back to Nozomi the actual things she'd said. "Masahiro sounds like a familiar name bloop. I believe Trefles came upon that name when he was producing one of his projects from the remnants of a discarded blueprint. bloop. If recall further I believe that name has resurfaced in the relevant reports relevant to the land of fire. Perhaps I can see about arranging a meeting of sorts."
Vesta had ordered another glass despite his already shook stomach as he'd respond to Nozomi's schedule plan. "You don't have to tell me twice. Although if by anything goes on the weekends you mean after I wrap up asl and tutoring on Saturdays and the daycare on Sunday. I'll do what I can, but I can only talk you up so much boss lady, like I said you gotta 'engage' on a level those kids will resonate with." Everything seemed fine for the moment. Vesta imbibed his shot and it seemed that Toso himself finally began to reach for his now slightly soupy margarita. 'Even though your evil clone gave me such a sweet little lovely parting gift' "The whom with the giving of the what not bloop?" Toso would say expressly confused almost having choked on his swallow. Toso was certainly aware that he indeed had an issue with clones gaining some wicked level of independence. He had even scrapped with himself but hat believed that those incidents had all ended having not had another problem since...hmmm well since he'd returned from the crow lands. Was it the chakra that was blacking out the moon the offender? Because if it wasn't. Which it wasn't be he didn't know this. There was only one explanation for the cause. That tainted chakra that ran through him. The 'chakra' that infected the Aether Leyline and his own foolhardiness to blame. Whatever this 'gift' was his glasses reflected eyes that said he would correct it as he would have been and felt all the more guilty that it was his own hands that brought misfortune to his own citizens and that it had extended to perhaps something even more cruel or terrible.

"Yeah, but not by much? Maybe they lie about his age?"
"That would make sense."
A conversation happening in the background of a fairly prestigious venue within The Thundering District of Arashigakure. The person the conversation was referring to was quite young, it was odd to see someone so young around these parts. Even if it was as a performer for an event. The area was more widely known as the pleasure district, for perhaps obvious reasons. This was where the adults went in order to get their adult fun. At all times of the day, but mostly at night. The young boy was accompanied by someone though, quite a bit older. They looked nothing alike, so probably not his parent. Perhaps just the person who was in charge of the young boy's career aspects. The boy had a rather vacant expression on his face, however the woman he walked with had this 'better than you' air about her as she walked. Approaching the stage, the two of them were quickly met with three people. Well dressed, perhaps the event coordinators of this establishment considering where they were.
"You really brought a kid? We thought you were....joking."
One of the men said, with a bit of a frown. Shaking his head as if disappointed with the current situation at hand. Looking the younger boy over as if trying to assess whether or not they would be good at whatever they were here to do. One of the other men got a little closer, doing the same but sort of walking around the two of them in a circle. As he passed by the older woman though, a creepy smile grew across his face for a moment. The man quickly fixed his smile and then would speak.
"What is it you do? Storytelling? Is that...actually going to entertain our guests?"
He asked the two of them. A bit of a frown having grown across his face. The woman's expression hadn't changed much since. She knew how these kinds of people were, she was ready to open her mouth to speak, however was quickly cut off by the man who had spoken the first time to them.
"Storyteller? You must have a good voice for that. Perhaps good expressions. Maybe something special that you do? You look very....plain."
The rude comment didn't really go unnoticed by the boy. The young boy dressed in all white for this particular occasion simply looked up at the man who had just spoken to him with a vacant expression. The young boy seemed to not change much of how he presented himself. He didn't speak against the two of them either. Once more, the woman opening her mouth to speak but was quickly cut off by the second man who had spoken.
"I think you're right, he seems....uninteresting." A quick shift in glance from the young boy back to the woman. "You know, you could save yourself the embarrassment. Come back to my place and we can work out how you'll repay us. You won't have to get him involved."
Suddenly, the third man who had not spoken yet loudly cleared his throat. Obviously, to get the attention of the two men who seemed to be badgering the kid and the woman accompanying him. He was small, but it was very clear from the look on the other two's face when he cleared his throat that he was the real head of the group and perhaps establishment. Maybe even more than that, from the way the other two suddenly recomposed themselves and quickly shut up.
"Apologies, my companions are quite rude. While they might have a point in some facets...I do believe you were trying to say something miss?"
He asked the woman, who's expression had changed from that better than you face to one more of anger and annoyance over the course of the last minute or so. Her expression fixing back to what it once was, and finally she was allowed to speak.
"Thank you sir, I assure you all, Arc will not disappoint despite what you claim to be his uninteresting appearance. It will be his last performance for quite a while, so he will make it quite special for you all."
The two antagonizers looked as if they did not believe her. However the one nodded. Beginning to walk away from them, causing the other two to follow. He of course did have a few parting words before finally leaving the woman and kid to their devices.
"I trust he will not disappoint us. I am not a fan of resorting to less morally correct measures to get what we need...but if it comes down to it I will. I'm sure you're aware."
Then they were gone. The woman scoffed. Looking down at the young boy. It didn't change much, however she noticed a slight change in his expression. Perhaps he was deep in thought now. A bit of a wave of relief washed over the woman clearly as she began to walk off to take her position as close to the stage as possible. The normal position she took during his performances.
"Looks like I had nothing to worry about."
