The rope fell to the floor and Yuki kept his back to her. "A ninja should be able to do it within an instant and not have to think about the knot... I still can't feed my chakra into the rope itself to make that happen," Yuki said in a flat voice without looking back at Oki. He figured this probably meant she was leaving now since he'd apparently 'figured it out.'

"But that's what you just did!" Oki said, excited. "Yuki, you went from shredding your bonds to using the technique perfectly in three tries! That's incredible! We should try that again, put in some more knots, or some different knots or something..." She was beginning to babble, looking down at the rope.

Yuki put his hands behind his back again, running his forearms along the entire length of one another so his hands were at the opposite elbows and let Oki tie him up again. "Do your worst," he said, trying to sound like he was as excited by this as Oki, just to keep the smile on her face. Inside, he felt like he just died... again...

Oki eagerly began binding Yuki's arms. She bound each wrist separately, then tied them together, winding the rope up his arm, knotting it periodically as she went. She made it tighter this time, thinking that Yuki finally had the jist of it, and patted his shoulder when she was done. "Go!"

Yuki sighed and looked over his shoulder to get an idea of what he was working with. He repeated the steps the exact same again. Slowly, each individual knot popped itself open, even ones that just happened to be in the rope, not actually holding anything. Yuki continuously felt for his next move, or looked over his shoulder to see what he could. It was taking a little while, but bit by bit, the knots kept coming undone...
As Yuki was nearing the last few loops that bound his wrists, he spoke again. "Kakashi said, that with this jutsu, you should be able to untie other people's bonds as well... At the same time as your own, supposedly... That work the same?" he asked, wondering if Oki would volunteer...

"I guess so, but I've never tried it," Oki admitted. "Why? Did you want to give it a try?

Yuki shrugged. "Is it the next logical step? Or do you have something else in mind?"

Oki thought for a moment. "Well, you do seem to have the hang of untying yourself," she admitted. "Alright, tie me up!"

Yuki kept it simple. He took Oki's hands behind her back and put a simple knot binding the two of them together.
He stepped back in front of her. And looked her square in the eyes. "This is how I started teaching Ryo to spin his chakra as well," he said, placing his hand on Oki's solarplexis and letting his chakra flow through her back the rope. It wasn't as vivid as the last time Yuki had funneled his chakra through Oki to show her the summoning technique, but actually more exhillarating since his hand was smack in the center of the core of her chakra. She would feel his disappointment in her for her earlier comment about Baoh, but she would also feel how his hatred for Baoh had grown exponentially. It wasn't about Oki anymore... Something had happened. Yuki didn't just dislike him, or distrust Baoh... He hated him...
The knots popped apart and Oki was free in a matter of seconds...

Oki gasped at the intensity of the feeling this time, and then frowned. Yuki's feelings didn't make sense, not on this level. "Yuki, what happened?"

Yuki stepped away and walked over to pick up his sunglasses from where they had been on the floor for hours. "Oki... I promised I'd keep my nose out of what is between you and Baoh... This isn't about you this time... He hasn't just crossed a line. This time, Baoh used a line as a starting point and ran a marathon beyond it, and I don't know how I'm keeping myself from tracking him down at this point..."

"What did he do?" Oki asked, her frown deepening. She walked over to Yuki, laying a hand lightly on his arm. "Yuki, talk to me, please. What's going on?"

Yuki hung his sunglasses off of his pant's pocket and looked Oki in the eye. "Oki... Do you know how good Baoh is with genjutsu?" Equate it to this. You come home not only to see Suoh laying in the middle of your bed, decapitated, but to have insides used to paint threats to you on the walls of your bedroom. A short while later, the illusion fades, after Baoh allows you to wallow in that nightmare for a few minutes. Then, he doesn't explain himself, he doesn't try to appologise for a thoughtless joke... He taunts you... Oki... He wants me to lose it... He wants me to finally fight him..."

Oki was simultaneously shocked and disgusted, and it showed. "Yuki, I... I'm so sorry you had to go through that, there's no excuse for it. But don't let him bait you like that, you're better than that. He seems like he wants to push buttons lately, and I don't know why. It doesn't seem like him..."

"Yes, Oki... It's EXACTLY him... That's what I've been trying to tell you all along..." Yuki was keeping his voice level, but his breathing was erratic...
"Don't you see how it works? I finally explode at him... Likely as not, I couldn't really beat him, he's beyond my level, but he lets me get a few good ones in... He goes to you, and tells you the half of the story where in a fit of jealousy, I finally lost it. He throws in something about me threatening him to stay away from you, and shows up with black eyes and a broken bone or two. You never talk to me again, and he finally gets what he wants, me, completely out of the picture... He probably even takes it a step further and talks to Tsunade that the little Sand ninja has gone rogue..." Yuki shrugged. He didn't know how Baoh's mind worked, but he knew there was always an agenda...
