There comes a time in a worker's life that he decides he needs a break from the leash that was tied around his neck. A vacation, a time where a man goes off to recover from the slog of work placed upon him by his boss. A boss who was kinda like his uncle so when it came down to it, when he finally asked for some personal leave Gou was more confused to the fact he hasn't taken any yet, and perhaps hiding his long “Tell Hideki to do this.” List.
A joke the young man had, he didn't expect there to be a list, he mainly offered his services to… Abit to many missions…
But that was all in the past now, he was free for a good week! Plus, being a new fledgling jonin, meant he had new freedoms he didn't have before!! Plus, he had a rather large collection of cash… Espeacially after that Hoshikage business, talk about a bounty.
He had wondered for a long while where he should head for a vacation. But in truth, Yugakagure pretty much won out each time. He didn't want to go to a beach again for abit but Yuga was THE vacation spot these days. As such, this is how the young man ended up on the gates of the village, smelling the wonderful air of food cooked right on the street sides, the sounds of people laughing and enjoying themselves from the bars that littered the area. This place just screamed luxury and fun.
The best part was…
He had a shit ton of cash to do as he pleased.
Though he didn't have anybody around to enjoy this with (Yuuki was busy, Mai was a bull in a china shop that didn't like his habits, Moku he didn't know to well, Aiko was… well… Aiko… and the others he didn't think he could convince. He'd just get a slap from Nagisa, and Hotaru was… Well..) He was more than ready to dig right in.
The young man spent his first night tentatively examining the things he could do and preparing for the rest of his time out. That, and heading to some of the famed bathhouses, avoiding some of the more… adult ones, given his heart was still of a boy, and to travel down that path would be a path down the road of sin.
What a good lad.
Not to say the temptation wasn't there.
...Not that anyone could stop him… He'd be treated abit like a kid but… Hrmm…Maybe… No…
He resigned to the idea of being good this once and hit the springs that weren't charged with any corruptive influences. For tonight at least.
The waters were ammmmaaaaaaazing, the heat melting his body into a relaxed state faster than he could ever imagine, and how lucky was he to find an empty spring. And not to mention nobody questioned his sake order~!
Though the serving lady was more than willing to provide her advice as to what was good. Naturally, it was expensive, but damn, if this was the taste the rich get he should splurge more often. Why not spend his hard earned cash on it right? Hell, what else is he gonna spend it on…? He had utilities paid at home, house was his, he was just laughin’ when it came to his business.
It paid to be a great ninja!
He just wished he had others to share this with now… Maybe later on, it's only the first day of his long vacation, no reason why folks couldn't visit.
At that thought the door into the room slid open and in stepped an older gentleman who looked like he stepped out of a fight with a particularly vicious cat. “Hahahhaha! Forgive my hands, they wander in my old age.” Hideki could hear the growling of the servant girl saying something about him being a wicked old pervert.
“Hahahahha! Got me there lovely, come back with some hooch when you do, i'll be here talking with my new friend.” The old man slammed himself into the water, immediately sinking im abit. He was a massive fellah, heavily scarred but had a smile that wouldn't quit.
Hideki, was baffled by this at first. “New friend?” His dumbass brain spat out. “You lad! Don't take much to figure that out. Whats your name?”
“Uhh, Hideki?”
“Nice to meet you Deki-boy you can call me old man.”
“...Old man?”
“Yep.”
“Why…?”
“Cause i'm old, do you want proof i'm a man-”
“NO!!”
“Then shut up and call me old man.”
The next few moments were of a charged awkward silence from Hideki, what the hell do you say to a dude like this?
The man's sake came, with a different girl, who seemed to get the same treatment if Hideki did see the man's hands, causing the poor young girl to squeak and rush out.
“So Deki, you here with your parents?” The old man asked as he started drinking like he's been doing it his whole life, or at least all evening. Hideki shook his head, feeling very small right now. “Ah, no, here alone on my vacation. Figured it might be good to finally take time off.”
“Ah! Time off eh? Let me guess… Shinobi huh? I can see it in your eyes and body Deki boy.” The old man smirked as he drank. “Got the eyes of a killer, saw the way you sized me up. But more importantly you got sharp eyes for… Quality.” His eyes flashed to the door.
“Girl came in for a minute and you sized her up immediately… Tell me Deki, wouldjya have a go with her?”
This made Hideki turn beat red, the old man began laughing. “Still innocent eh? Not yet a man aren't yea!!” He laughed harder, Hideki however just wanted to die.
“Heh, don't worry Deki-boy. You stay in this town and you'll find your way. Or you got a girl, or girls back home?” The old man, downed the rest of his bottle, tossing the glass off to the side.
Hideki finally, finally spoke up. “Uhh… Well…” he cleared his throat. “A.. few…”
“A few huh…? Well? Speak up!”
“...Can''t say their mine, haven't really gotten to that stuff even if you'd think otherwise with the way some of em get so angry.”
“Heh, knew that feeling, youthful puppy love.”
“I guess. Easy when you are one of the few guys in your generation.”
“Hoo! Men would kill for that kinda luck boy! Tell me, got amy favorites?”
Hideki paused and looked to the door for a minute. “...Well… Hard to say…” the young man's gaze suddenly hardened, he leaned forward and took a sip. “Mai and Aiko are the ones who've been with me the most. Mai Sanada, might've heard of her.”
“Girl who nuked the Hoshikage?”
“Same one, was in that fight myself. Shes a fighter thats for certain.”
“Best girls are.”
“Abit to much of one if you as me.. masochistic tendancies, also far to rough… And incredibly innocent.”
“How innocent?”
“She fainted when I gave her white day chocolate, and at an implied kiss, puked on my doorstep and then fainted when she went to give me valentine chocolate.”
“No shit! Would she survive something more I wonder? Or would her heart give out- Wait you said Sanada?”
“Aiko is fine enough, grouchy and a complete ice queen, hot though. Abit smaller in.. Yea know, but shes a keeper.”
“Heh, she sounds fun… Keep in mind this is theoretical, I ain't robbin the cradle here kid.”
“Granted. Ever heard of Yukari Hyuuga?-” their chatter continued, Hideki and the old man talked quickly throughout the evening, the budding odd friendship continued to grow as they both got drunker and drunker.
By the time to two left Hideki was properly soused, and the old man was only more so. A hazey night, filled with drinks, food and an ending he could not fully remember.
The first night became his first morning, and it came with the feeling of a jackhammer pounding in his head, his own heartbeat to loud for him to manage. He was in his room that he set up before, Alone, thankfully, so he didn't need to talk his way out of anything in the morning at least. He wondered where the old man was, the guy who he became fast friends with, even with the start being one that was rather worrying. He examined himself in the mirror, he felt drained physically, mentally, emotionally over the moon, but also dry of chakra?
Did he imagine that old dude? Was he some wierd spirit animal of his? Would he even see that man again? Honestly, the fact the whole scene was so surreal was what confused him more. For now though.. he would sleep off this hangover… After alot of water. And some breakfast if he could keep it down.
...But now he began to wonder what the rest of his week would be like, and in honest to god truth.
He couldn't wait!
