Zeshin arrived in the back alleyway with the cleaning supplies from the hospital. He felt bad about taking them, but he'd make it up to them and bring it back when he was done. He'd also use the money for the mission to buy more supplies for them, or just pay them back. He wanted to get this completion on his ninja record no matter what. Once he showed up the alleyway, though, he noticed several graffiti portraits along the walls. He didn't know if the supplies would actually get it cleaned up, but he'd do the best he could. It seemed like the alleyway was abandoned, so he was very unsure of why someone would want this cleaned up. Zeshin knew that he shouldn't question the missions he was given, but this one just seemed strange. Nevertheless, he would take his supplies and display them out so they would be easier to get to.
First, he would start with the graffiti nearest to the back and work his way back towards the street. Right now the daylight was growing dim so he needed all the sunlight possible to clean up all the areas in the back. Scrubbing as hard as he could, he could see the color start to fade as he grabbed a spray bottle and went to work on the stylized drawings. Over and over, he kept up the cleaning. All the while, since the mission was so self contained, he thought about things and what he would need to do next. He didn't mind doing these missions, but he also knew he needed to get stronger too. More scrubbing and the exhaustion that came with moving his arms up and down so much made him take a small break and let his arms rest. Zeshin had only done a few missions, but he knew there would be more that he needed to do, too. It was hard to imagine what it was really like for a ninja. He had heard stories growing up of dangerous missions his father and mother had gone on in the younger days before being a family. He didn't think he could ever be that powerful. He'd have to wait and see he supposed. It would take hard work nonetheless.
Stretching his arms and his body, the young boy grabbed his supplies and went back at it. Streetlights were turning on and people were moving to their homes now. It wasn't good to be out late at night and most of the time, there were restrictions on Genin to not be in the middle of missions at night. As creepy as it was, while he was cleaning, he understood mainly why they told them that as they progressed through the academy. The sad part was that at sixteen years of age, he was merely a Genin and was still doing these same things. Deep down inside, he realized that he should have been far more advanced like his brother had become in the last four years. Zeshin shook his head though and continued to clean. He was finishing up and had only one spot left to get after he finished this one. And as light was fading from the sky, he could see unique lights in the deeper parts of the alleyway. Suddenly he began to hear music, but it wasn't the kind that he was familiar with and he moved quicker than before to finish his task.
Finally, at the last spot, Zeshin sprayed the wall and scrubbed with all his might to finish. People were leaving the main streets and walking passed him with strange looks as he continued pressing through. He'd hear whispering comments about his age and being too young, but he couldn't tell what they were referring to. How was he too young, Zeshin thought to himself. He was a Genin at sixteen years of age. But he did his best to shake those thoughts. That's why he was trying so hard now. It had taken him too long in his life to get this kind of discipline and focus. He was going to become a great ninja, but the Uchiha clan meant little to him, even still. That would never change.
But it was finally finished. It was beyond night time and he needed to sprint home with all his might. He cleaned up his supplies and made a run for it. He needed to make dinner at all costs, even if he was slightly late. "Oh no! I need to shower too!" He pushed even harder to make it home. Today was a productive day and he wouldn't give up on himself.
Sumika examined a note that she'd received from a man that told her where to find materials for implants. She turned it over a few times, kai'ed, shook it a few times, and held a flamed under it - none of which appeared to produce the effect she desired - before letting it burn. "Alright, who's selling the s**t?!" She yelled through the alley to no one in particular.

"Oi Oi Oi." A ruff voice called out from behind Sumika, the echo of the alleyway caused it to sound much deeper than it actually was. "Didn't anyone ever tell you? It's dangerous to just go yelling that kinda stuff out. You gotta be delicate with this kind of things. Otherwise, you might attracting the wrong kind of attention." Taking a long drag off his cigarette, the man stopped just a few inches away from the (LOL YOU'RE ONLY A GENIN??) blonde genin. The idea of personal space, or even his own potential safety, was evidently not a concern of his. "So, if there was someone who could get ya what you need. What exactly would you be in the market for?" Dark green eyes now regarded Sumika's form much more closely, like a piece of meat on the sale and he, the hungry buyer, perusing for just what he could get out of her.

"Uh... DNA? I guess that's like blood. Seinaru Enjo, I think that's what it's called." If she was concerned at all about personal space, then Sumika didn't show it. She also didn't seem terribly concerned about anyone knowing what was going on here. She preferred to seem like a bit of an idiot, even if it was obvious to anyone whose brain wasn't glassy smooth that this guy wouldn't be doing good business without the village knowing about it. It made things like this a bit more fun, especially when the people who thought they had an advantage to exploit got sloppy.

It was refreshing to return to Konoha after all the two had been through since their last trip here. Not just Akihiko settling his debt, but also the sorting of familial issues of Akaran. "I am dying to have some wagyu," Akihiko announced as he stretched his arms up overhead and rested them against the back of his head while the two walked.
"The restaurant isn't too far, but we can cut down here," Akihiko narrated as he led them through a back alley. His mouth was almost watering - and he hadn't even thought about all the rabbit he could eat in the village. Unfortunately, turning down the back alley revealed a young woman and a tall, pale man leaning over her; initially, he understood the scene to be two near-strangers about to have a tryst, but her eyes were wide and her posture was rigid.
Akihiko slowed in gait as he saw a glint between the two, suggesting the pale man was holding a knife against her stomach. Ah. He stifled the urge to roll his eyes, knowing already what Akaran was going to do before he turned to the redhead. "Gonna impress me with some heroics right now, huh, Aka?" His amusement was clear at the use of the nickname, smirking in anticipation at seeing the samurai try his hand at vigilantism to protect the young woman.

โฑโฐโฑAkaran was starving as usual with an endless appetite for not only food but also alcohol. Because of his hunger, it was difficult for him to concentrate on much as he walked beside Akihiko. He had not eaten a meal for the whole of two hours and he thought he was going to die at this rate. The only satisfaction that the oni felt was that his business as well as Akihiko's matters were all behind them. The future was much brighter now that Akaran was secure in his identity as both a samurai and an oni. "Wag-yu." He repeated under his breath a few times as he sounded out each syllable after Akihiko spoke. He did not pay much attention to his surroundings as they walked through the sketchy alley. All he knew was that the restaurant was accessible this way and that he would have beef and rice in his belly soon. Their journey was ground to a halt when they encountered a woman being threatened by a man with a knife. Akaran's facial expression became more focused and angry when Akihiko brought it to his attention. He became more aware of the fact that they were in a rough part of town. "Shut up, let's go do the right thing." Akaran became annoyed with his partner but also grateful that he mentioned it lest Akaran's lack of attention allow it to go unnoticed. Nonetheless, he was always irritated when Akihiko teased him for "sappy hero acts" on their travels. Akaran pulled Akihiko's arm and only let go when he approached the man. He pointed his knife at Akaran who merely grabbed his throat and slammed his body into the wall, knocking him out instantly. Akaran underestimated his brutish strength as he watched the man collapse on the ground and the knife fly out of his grip. The woman seemed shocked into silence as Akaran looked down at the man's body. He became worried and looked at Akihiko after a few moments of stiff silence. "You think he's dead?" Akaran asked with trepidation in his voice before lightly kicking the body a couple of times. He did not budge so he was either dead or knocked out cold. Did Akaran just commit murder in the village? He hoped not and he knew that he was not using his full strength but there was some blood spilling from his head wound. Akaran had no idea how to check vital signs so he asked Akihiko another question. "We should drop him at the hospital." Akaran was more confident in this statement as he asserted it with nobility. He gave Akihiko some time to give his input before he would act further. Perhaps his boyfriend's intelligence would help clean up this mess that the headstrong oni was making.

Akihiko huffed a laugh at Akaran's annoyance, unable to help himself when it came to riling up the other man. It was such a pleasure to watch the Oni work, too, as the redhead dropped the thug with ease. "Hospital?" He said with zero compassion, quirking a brow at Akaran's concern for the scumbag. Akihiko was familiar with criminality, but if you weren't smart enough to commit crimes and get away with it, you deserved to get chained up.
He was interrupted by the scared woman's demeanor suddenly changing drastically; she straightened her posture and leveled them each with a cold, unimpressed stare. "Great, I'll just have to start all over again." Her sarcasm was grating, but also rang alarm bells in Akihiko's mind that they were walking into a trap before she pulled out a KPD badge from her pocket to brandish to each of them. "I can tell you two aren't our own. We're trying to deal with the human trafficking ring here in Konoha, and I really needed to see if this guy was one of the suppliers." She re-pocketed the badge, looking between the two of them with thinly veiled frustration.
"Carrying your badge can't be a good choice for undercover work," Akihiko mused with little sympathy for her work going down the drain. "You'd have better luck as a group of agents; traffickers value quantity over quality, so they target groups of women over individuals whenever given the opportunity." His matter-of-fact tone didn't belie his boredom, nor his rumbling belly. "Good luck with the Op, but we've got lunch to secure," he said, looking to Akaran expectantly. The Oni just took down that man effortlessly, and if Akihiko wasn't watching Akaran chow down or lose the ability to walk in the next ten minutes, he was going to lose his mind.

โฑโฐโฑAkaran tensed up in worry that he was going to arrested for murdering the man when she presented her police badge. He slowly calmed down when she talked to them and put away her badge. His mind was whirling with adrenaline and confusion as he considered why Akihiko questioned the word hospital. "Yes, hospital. The place where sick people go." Akaran explained earnestly and felt a slight sense of pride that for once he knew a word that Akihiko did not. An eight later word at that! This comment was awkwardly placed in the middle of the conversation with the undercover Konohagakure police officer. "I don't know what you're talking about but I'm happy you weren't hurt." Akaran did not understand undercover police officers or even most of the words that Akihiko was saying in his dialogue with her. While he was clearly clueless his tone and intentions were also kind despite bludgeoning the man who was harassing her. He only smiled when Akihiko mentioned lunch as if only now he was speaking his language. He supposed that since the woman was a police officer that she would probably take it from here.
Akaran waved before walking with Akihiko to the steak restaurant and being seated at their table. He placed the meat on the hibachi grill in the middle of the table. As it sizzled he handed the tongs over to Akihiko knowing that he liked to flip and press the meat at these types of places. "This food is always good but I don't get it. Why go to a restaurant if you have to cook the food yourself?" It seemed to Akaran that they were not doing their jobs properly. He was sure that he was going to get a lecture from Akihiko about this but he preferred it over getting teased for saving someone who did not need saving. When his beer arrived at the table he quickly began gulping it down as he waited for Akihiko's reply.

Akihiko narrowed his eyes at his companion as Akaran explained what a hospital was, hands clenching at his sides partially as if miming the position they'd take if he was choking the life out of someone. Because man, did he really want to in that moment. But he huffed out a breath and let it pass over him, as Akaran was probably incapable of condescension, though he was definitely a fan of teasing. He could tell Akaran was confused by the situation, but Akihiko had experienced enough of the samurai's cluelessness to no longer be embarrassed by it.
"It's not my favorite restaurant experience," Akihiko conceded as he flipped over the wagyu. "But, this place has everything I crave when I think of Konoha, besides their greasy festival food. Oh, and-" Akihiko flicked a hot onion from the grill at Akaran. "I know what a hospital is," he grunted with displeasure. It was one thing for Akaran to be a few screws loose, but Akihiko certainly wasn't.
"Also," he said to cut off any complaints from Akaran, "shut up and eat this." He put the freshly cooked wagyu on Akaran's plate and kept his eye on the other man so he could see just how much Akaran like it, even as he put some seafood across the grill.

โฑโฐโฑAkaran nodded in agreement with Akihiko that the concept of cooking your own meat was perhaps not ideal. The fragrance of the meat filled the air as Akihiko flipped over the cooked side. He was salivating as he watched the sizzling steak in front of him. Akaran was snapped out of his daze as he felt the hot onion seer the skin of his arm a little. He did not really understand why Akihiko had a negative tone when he brought up that he knew the meaning of the word hospital. However, Akaran dismissed the thought with haste when he saw Akihiko put the food on his plate. He picked up his chopsticks and made quick work of the food and allowed his teeth to rip into the tendons of the meat as he melted quickly in his mouth and the juices danced on his tongue. He smiled widely when he gulped down the meat and shoveled several bites of rice into his mouth. "So good!" He exclaimed emphatically before reaching his arm around the side of the grill at a safe distance to rest his hand on Akihiko's available hand once the seafood was placed. Akaran glanced over sweetly at Akihiko as he felt the juices roll down the corners of his mouth sloppily. "You're perfect, A-ki-hi-ko." He said genuinely as the slow-witted samurai suddenly realized that he might have hurt Aki's feelings with the hospital explanation. Akaran had no doubt that Aki was a smart guy for if he was not then it was unlikely that Akaran would have made it this far. "When can we go beat up more bad guys together again?" Akaran smiled again realizing that moment when he helped Akihiko settle his debt was the proudest and happiest he felt in a long time and he wanted to feel that again soon.

It brought a genuine smile to Akihiko's face to see Akaran enjoy the food so much. He was sure the Oni wouldn't have indulged in so many luxuries had the two not met, since Akaran was pretty rough around the edges. It, perhaps, made him blush to hear Akaran call him perfect, but the mercenary was quick to shrug it off. "This right here is perfection." He grinned and gestured with the shrimp in his chopsticks. He ate almost as voraciously as Akaran.
"We could go beat up some more guys, but I don't know about them being bad or not," he said with some amusement. He was aware of Akaran's obsession with heroics, but he could only humor it for so long before it became a tense headache. "We could do anything. If you wanted to help that officer find traffickers, we could do that, though I typically charge for those kinds of services. We could take advantage of all the fun the village has to offer," he suggested amicably, though it was clear the last option was his preference.

โฑโฐโฑAkaran's fingers tightened around Akihiko's hand when he caught a glimpse of his companion's flushed face. He used his metal chopsticks to grab some seared shrimp, lobster, and other delicacies off the grill and placed them over his rice. The juices added flavor to the rice's firm consistency. None of the food lasted long as he scarfed it down and felt more satisfied. As he sipped his beer he suppressed his burps out of respect. This was a matter of etiquette that was beaten into him by his samurai family and was admonished by Akihiko a few times whenever he rebelled from his childhood teachings. "No, only bad." Akaran insisted after swallowing his food only aggravating Akihiko's headaches he was sure. He did like the idea of helping the undercover officer but he immediately felt regret from the idea. "I think I've already screwed up her mission enough..." He lamented and as far as he could tell what he did was making her job harder as she seemed vaguely displeased by his actions. He was not against the idea of them getting paid to help the police. Akaran was only against the concept of expecting money for helping normal people out. "Let's go to a festival." Aka was feeling looser after all the beers he swiftly put away. Without prompt, he extended his chopsticks across the table to feet the last shrimp to Aki. He smiled before placing the morsel in his mouth and teasingly poking the tip of his nose with one of the chopsticks.
Once their meal was concluded, he would walk out of the building with Akihiko knowing that he already paid at the front counter. Once they walked outside he noticed that the officer and perp were gone. The entire alleyway was surprisingly empty and peaceful compared to before. Perhaps it was due to the criminals and homeless occupying the area's knowledge that there were likely police afoot now that caused them to scatter. Although this did not occur to Akaran who just took it as a good sign. He kicked his way down the empty cobblestone street toward the festivities. He continued to hold Akihiko's hand ever since they were at the table. Akaran pulled him along for a few blocks before suddenly stopping. He glanced over and grinned before releasing his hand and placing his palms on Akihiko's chest and pushing him back into a brick wall. His hands then pulled him by the scruff of his shirt into a passionate kiss. "I'm mad that you still don't see things my way but I can't stop caring about you." Akaran genuinely admitted his frustration with his irresistible partner after gasping for air from their heat and passion. The oni was stubborn and he had seen first hand the selfless good in Aki that he was fighting to bring out permanently. He began roughly kissing Aki's neck to give him a chance to respond before burying his hands under his shirt to feel his chest and heartbeat.

Akihiko walked with Akaran, shaking his head as Akaran suggested festivities. "There are only like two or three festivals a year; you can't just make them hap-" he cut himself off as he saw a sign for a street fair, and laughed at their luck. It wouldn't consume all of the center of the village, but it would probably have a hundred stands with food and odd trinkets and face painting, which would be a fun enough afternoon for the two of them.
He was mildly surprised when Akaran pushed him against the wall, but he also figured they could only go so long with their hands off of each other. He let Akaran have his moment before pushing the redhead against the wall, switching their positions and slotting himself against the Oni's body. He leaned his mouth over to Akaran's ear, voice husky as he whispered. "Funny how, for a man obsessed with heroics," he let a hand travel underneath Akaran's clothes to grip him as he dragged his teeth on Akaran's earlobe, "you like to break the law."
He laughed against Akaran's skin as the two of them were very indecent in public, Akihiko doing his absolute best to pull noises from Akaran. He littered kisses against the other man's neck, alternating with bites, until he could no longer fight the urge to mark the man more drastically where his collarbone was. "Now, now," he teased, "if you're too loud, Miss Undercover might come back here. Maybe I'll offer to help her with the strip search." He spared an exaggerated glance down both ends of the alley before he pushed down Akaran's clothing just enough to replace his hand with his mouth.

โฑโฐโฑHe ran out of breath as he suddenly felt Akihiko pin him against the wall instead. Akaran exhaled heat when he finally felt Akihiko's touch after days of going without. He roughly bit into Akihiko's kneck after he whispered into his ear and nibbled at his earlobe. Akaran's rebellious side showed as he continued venturing into passion with Akihiko. His excitement was only further ignited by the knowledge that many people would disapprove of their love. The acts of intimacy that they were engaging in were an inherent rebellion as a result. Akaran let out an uncontrollable grunt before laughing in return upon feeling Akihiko's breath on his skin. Akihiko left numerous marks along his neck that caused his noises to escalate. "Hmph...ahhhhh..." It was almost as if they were engaging in combat as Akaran's own hands roughly wandered over Akihiko. His hands glided down the mercenary's back before grabbing at him. Akaran also looked around the alleyway before he ran his fingers through Akihiko's albino locks. He then felt Akihiko take him over the edge a few minutes later and yelped. Akaran then pulled Akihiko back into his arms before assaulting his neck with his mouth to leave behind a massive bruise. "Let's give them a good show." Akaran smiled deviously and defiantly as if to prove to Akihiko that he was not the sappy pushover that he always caricatured him as. The samurai flipped Akihiko around and took control again by pinning him against the wall. He planted rough kisses on Akihiko and returned the favor. "Who do you love, Aki?" Akaran teased and wanted to make him squeal.

Akihiko hummed thoughtfully at Akaran's change of tone. :"Coming to the dark side, Mr. Goody-two-shoes?" He teased the wannabe-vigilante, watching with a heated gaze as Akaran returned the favor cheekily. "Who do I love? Hmm," he murmured thoughtfully. "I love Kai Li, I love the Katagawas, I love Wei Chen, myself." His grin was devious as he intentionally named names Akaran was unfamiliar with to incite jealousy or curiosity. "And you, you absolute sap," he confessed; his tone was sharp like he was teasing him, but he genuinely admired Akaran with an open gaze before suddenly doubling over as he finished.
Catching his breath, he ran his hands through Akaran's hair with care before hearing drums in the background. There must have been some sort of street performance at the street fair. He hoped the percussion was accenting some sort of dancing. "Let's go enjoy that street fair, eh?"
