"Baoh will probably say something about a mission or something like that... But then show up at the last second," Otomeken said, shaking her head... "Usually does." Otomeken leaned forward away from Suoh's hands and stretched out a bit. "I'll go with you... We'll drag Oki out of the house... Sometimes you have to be a woman to get through. Besides, I haven't seen her since the genin exam," Otomeken said and stood up out of the water...

"Really?" Suoh asked in surprise. "She hadn't mentioned you, and I was pretty sure I'd heard about all of her old classmates."

She shook her head like there was more to the story. "I used to translate my name into this language. Around here they call me Otomeken. It's just a translation of Daughter of the Blade from my native language," she said with a shrug. "Probably called me that if she even remembered me," Otomeken said with a shrug...

Suoh's eyes were wide. "That's a name I've heard once or twice," he admitted. "So you're, uh, Baoh's fiancée yes?"

Otomeken smiled ear to ear. "Still waiting to get that ring," she confessed. "But... Yes..." she said, and couldn't reduce her smile to save her life at the moment. "Word got out huh?" she asked, having been gone since Baoh had asked her, and the only person she'd told was Fukurou...

"Apparently!" Suoh was in it up to his ears now and he pushed himself slowly out of the water trying to figure out how to fix it. This woman was the one who had hurt Riki! He didn't want to think about what she'd do to Oki... "Yuki and what's-his-face mentioned it... Guy with the owls?"

Otomeken continued to smile. "Fukurou," she said. "He's my student. I told him so he could get Baoh to keep up his teaching while I was gone," she laughed. She was about to ask how Fukurou was doing, she still hadn't taken the time to see him since she got back, but figured if Suoh didn't even know his name, he didn't know how he was doing either...

"That's the guy! I think Oki's been doing more with him than Baoh has. All Baoh's really seemed to have done was drop the owls off at her place and told Fuk to stay away from them."

Otomeken rolled her eyes behind the closed lids. "He'd listen too... I should drop buy to see Oki and get those two out of her hair... Get them back to Fukurou... He'd be lost without them..."
Otomeken walked to the edge of the pool and started to towel off...

Suoh followed, grabbing his towel. "I'm sure they'd both appreciate that." He said it with a straight face, bless his heart... But what he really meant was "I'd appreciate it."

Otomeken toweled off and just pulled her pants and shirt on over her bikini, lacing up the heavy army boots afterwards and shouldering her pack once more, waiting for Suoh to be ready...

Suoh half-heartedly toweled himself off and pulled on his jeans, tossing both his shirt and his towel over his shoulder and slipping into his shoes. Shit, he thought. I'm taking her right back to Oki! Shit! Suoh, still not realizing that Otomeken was blind, gestured with his head. "Let's go."

Otomeken followed the gesture, and began walking with Suoh, matching him easily, but her eyes never opened. "Do you live with Oki while you're here?" Otomeken asked, making small talk...

"It's more or less my center of operations," he admitted. "It's a regular place to come back to when I need it, and she's pretty good about things and doesn't ask too many questions. The one catch is that I can't bring any of my flings back there with me, and that works just fine."

Otomeken laughed. "I don't want to know who..." she said shaking her head as they neared Oki's house... It was a weekend at least, so Otomeken was hoping Oki would be home since Suoh said she didn't get out much anymore. She hadn't seen Oki in years and didn't want to just step in to get Fukurou back his owls and leave again...
