'' see that tall tower, his office is at the top, all of the kage's offices and mansions stand out and are normally at the center if the village '' Kiyoko said walking toward the tower

Sotaru nodded. " Yeah, I should've though of that." He smiled As he walked by Kiyoko. "What even is this scroll? What does it contain?"

'' Classified '' was her answer, once they were at the tower Kiyoko turned to Sotaru and said '' you wait here I won't be long '' before walking inside. About ten minutes later she returned with a bag of yen and a key. '' this is our payment and this is the key to the small house the Raikage is letting us use why we vacation here '' Kiyoko explained

Sotaru grinned. He should've known she'd say that. He nodded at the fact that they were able to get a temporary place at the Cloud Village too. "Sweet, where is it?"

'' near the heart of the town and we got a message from the Hokage, he sent a falcon why we were on our way here, we are not to train or do any work while were are here. Also if we come back sooner than a week we have to retake the academy '' Kiyoko said

Sotaru laughed openly and loudly. "Wow, he must really want us to take a break, huh?"

'' yeah I have been working double Anbu missions ontop of our team missions, he say's I have been over working myself but someone has to pick up the slack '' Kiyoko said

Sotaru had his eyes wide open. "Double? Holy Sh*t!" he grinned. "Well, good thing you're getting a break, huh?"

'' no it's not, I am easily one of the best Anbu and the most dedicated, others let their lives outside the Anbu control them when you must forget everything and become emotionless. More and more members have quit but the need for our services is still there and we can't let the other nations see we are weak. So I do what must be done and currently that is relax '' Kiyoko said

Sotaru nodded. "Yeah. I see."

So. When are we gonna get the story moving?

sure

Kiyoko sighed as she struggled to get comfortable in her kimono, why was she even wearing this torture device because the Raikage set her and Sotaru up for a dinner and a expensive restaurant. She was grateful for the meal but would it of killed him to choose something simpler, somewhere they didn't have to get dressed up to go to

Sotaru waited outside the house in black slacks and a white shirt humming a tune. The restaurant sounded good. I'd also be nice to spend some time with Kiyoko without needing to worry about getting killed.

Kiyoko finally came out of the house, her makeup done expertly and her short spikey hair tamed slightly but some pieces were still sticking up. '' sorry it took me so long it's been forever since I have to do my makeup, or wear anything this nice '' Kiyoko said lifting the hem of her kimono to show him the heels she had put on

Sotaru blushed unnoticeably. "I see. So, wanna get to the restaurant?"

'' yes '' Kiyoko said '' then I can get out of this torture device '' she muttered under her breath

Sotaru smirked as he could tell that she was probably complaining about her Kimono. He probably would've been complaining too if he wore a tie, but a tie is too far for him. He started walking, he hadn't noticed when going to the house, but while going to the restaurant he could notice lanterns hanging and little shops on the street. There must be a festival going on.

'' damn I forgot about the cloud festival, it's going on all week '' Kiyoko moaned frowning beneath her mask even more now

Sotaru smiled. "It couldn't be that bad, could it?"

'' no but I really just wanted to sleep but now I will want to enjoy the festival '' Kiyoko said

As they kept walking, they finally made it to the resturaunt. Once there, they stepped inside and sat down at their table. Sotaru was shocked by the sheer size of the menu. "Wow, they certainly have a lot of choices, don't they?
