Otomeken actually smiled. "I understand what you mean. I guess I'm doing something similar myself." Otomeken stood up and held her hand down to Kailiri. "Wanna go for a walk, a swim, something? Just get out and do something that has no point what-so-ever?"

Kaliri almost fell over, and she really did choke on her own airways. She coughed, and shook her head to clear it. She stood, politely declining Otomeken's hand, and eyed the other girl warily. "Sure......... okay, let's... walk, or swim, or something... I guess..." She formed her hands in her earth-moving jutsu, and put her things in the ground to return for them later, taking only her everyday clothing and a few of her pouches. "Okay, let's go."

Otomeken nodded and started walking in just a random direction. No point, no destination. "So... You said Kumori took off? Where's he gone to now?" she asked as if filling the gap, but she actually was currious...

Kaliri got quiet suddenly. "I don't know. He disappeared almost overnight. Just stopped showing up for things. We had plans, and I thought this was just... you know... him blowing me off. But.. I went home one day, and Rachi was gone, too... So... I don't know." Kaliri walked along beside the taller girl, head down, and hands in her pockets. As calm as she might have sounded, she was determined not to cry. She had had enough of being put down by Otomeken for that, already.

"Oh, hun," Otomeken said softly and made as if to give her a re-assuring hug. "They wouldn't just up and leave for nothing. Maybe it was a mission or something..." Otomeken could easily hear the deeper than surface emotion welling up in Kaliri and wasn't going to just ignore it...

Kaliri, taken off guard, took a tentative half step away from Otomeken. There was something not right about this. "Otomeken, do you remember how we met? The night of?" there was a definite note of suspicion in her voice now. Otomeken had never acted like this before. Kaliri wasn't foolish enough to believe it had finally happened just because she had wanted it to. This was not the Otomeken Kaliri was used to seeing.

"The hot spring. Yeah... I remember. I'm sorry for over-reacting that much. And I'm sorry for holding it against you all this time as well. You were only trying to do something good for me, but I couldn't see it that way. I couldn't see anything too clearly it seems...."

Kaliri snorted. "It wasn't me." She said, without thinking. She changed the subject quickly once she realized what she'd done. "Normally Rachi doesn't bring her furniture with her on missions..."

Otomeken tilted her head at the first comment, and then tilted it further on the second. "Oh... I see. Then I don't know what to tell you sweety. But I'm sure you'll get an answer some day. If you want one. Those two always were a little strange anyway... And... Weren't they both trying... you know... for you?"

Kaliri stopped dead. "Okay, who the hell are you, and how did you find out about the hot springs? Convincing Jutsu, but you really need to research your target first! Who are you, and why are you here?!?" She crouched down beside the path, threw her hands into her seals, and brought the earth up around the other figure's legs. Whoever this was, only Otomeken and Kumori had ever gotten away. this person didn't stand a chance. once they were grabbed by the jutsu, their cover would be blown, and she could bring her proof to the anbu that there was an intuder about.

Otomeken rolled her eyes behind closed lids. She sighed. "Kaliri, please. Don't do this. I'm just trying to talk to you. I'm me... The real me..." She wasn't even trying to resist the jutsu at this point...

"Hah! Otomeken is never that nice... not to anyone I've seen at least. She wouldn't let herself be caught..." Kaliri hesitated a moment, and stood up, seeing Otomeken's head above the soil. "She's... got too much pride....." She took a tentative step towards Otomeken, then stopped. now she was very confused.

"Funny what actually knowing who you are can do for your personality, isn't it." Otomeken didn't seem stressed, worried, or even slighly concerned with her current situation. "Can you let me out of this now so we can keep walking?" she asked...

Kaliri frowned and squinted at Otomeken. "Well, if you're not Otomeken.... At least you've done an excessive amount of homework, and deserve to succeed at whatever it is that you're doing." She formed the seals, and dropped the jutsu. "Still, you would have picked a very odd mark." In stops and starts, she walked a bit to catch up with Otomeken. Still unsure as to what to do next, she stayed silent, but kept a very careful eye on Otomeken.

Otomeken rolled her eyes again. "Would it make you feel better if I did attack you back? Or at least tried to dodge it or something? Do you want me to shoot off to you again, strip you bare? Or do you just want to walk and chat like I had in mind?"
