The smaller hawk perched itself on Oki's balcony and skwaked to announce it's presence. When Oki was not immediately there, he called her name the second time with some urgency...

The door to Oki's room opened and she staggered out, still dressed in her baby dolls and her hair in disarray. Sleepily she shuffled to the glass door of the balcony and pulled it open.
"Wassamatter?" she slurred, rubbing at her eyes. It's still early..."

The much more normal sized hawk sat there looking at her. "Get dressed. You have a mission. Yuki is waiting in the kage's office for you..." Ikihane sat there waiting to see if the words registered...

The words registered, alright! Oki cursed softly and hurried back into her apartment, quickly throwing on her mission gear, stowing some extras into a bag and running a brush through her hair. She jotted down a quick note for Baoh on the kitchen table, and then hurried back out on to the balcony, pulling it closed behind her. If the hawk was still waiting for her, she nods to him before starting off across the rooftops to the hokage's office.

When Oki reached the kage's office, Yuki was standing inside with Ikihane on his forearm, perched, and Tsunade sitting at her desk, trying desperately to enjoy her sake.
Inside was a man beside himself with grief and ranting and raving about how he was paying them, and nothing was happening, where was this other ninja they were waiting on, what was going on?

Oki opened the door swiftly and took the scene in. She bowed to Tsunade and nodded to Yuki.
"I'm sorry I'm late."

"This is her?" the man almost yelled at the kage...
Tsunade silenced the man with a wave of her hand. "Oki, this is Mr. Kazemai of the Thunder country. It seems that his daughter has, against his wishes, run off with a Cloud ninja - eloped, so to speak. He wishes to have her retrieved."
"I was going to send Yuki on this mission as a quick grab and move, but he said he would feel better if a woman were there to reason with the girl. Any objections?"

Oki glanced at the angry man out of the corner of her eye, and could think of a number of objections, but she reminded herself that she was not paid to voice her opinion on such matters.
She shook her head. "None, Hokage. I'll be happy to help."

"Help? What does she think this is, a friggin charity? I'll have all of you know that..."
Yuki stepped beside Oki, put his arm around her waist, and the two of the dissapeared from sight. That's what stopped the customer dead in his speech. "Wanna kick him just once while he can't feel it to get even more pissy?" Yuki offered from where they now were on the other side of the veil...

"Don't tempt me," Oki muttered angrily. "Who does he think he is, any way? Poor girl... I can see why she'd want to run away!"
She glared openly at the man, but made no move to kick or otherwise come into contact with him. She found imagining terrible things happening to him to be far more rewarding, any way.

Yuki kept his free arm around Oki and simply walked through the wall so that they were once again out in the hallway with a door between them and the client. If it wasn't for Ikihane sitting on his other arm, he himself would have backhanded the client. "I'm going to offer the benifit of the doubt and say it's because he's lost his daughter and he is otherwise a nice person..." but he didn't sound like he believed it either.
Back on the propper side of the veil again, it was the hawk who shivered. "Yuki... I hate it when you do that with no warning..."
Yuki grinned. "Sorry... Oki... You've met Koikihane. This is his son, Ikihane," he said, introducing her to the smaller hawk...

Oki smiled and nodded. "Nice to meet you Ikihane."

Yuki took his hand back off of Oki and pulled out a folder that he had shoved in his back belt. He opened it up and showed Oki. There was a full profile on the girl, and the ninja she was apparently in love with that they were going after including a full range of pictures.
Inside, they could hear the client once more yelling at Tsunade about sending two kids who wouldn't understand. They were just as lible to elope as well...

Oki turned to look at the office door. "Can kicking his ass be part of the payment for this? I'll kick it square up around his ears for that..."
She then took the folder and began to read through it. "This isn't going to be easy, and it's really not going to be fun. Any ideas at all on how to approach this?"

Yuki shook his head. "No. I really don't like Tsunade's idea of 'smash grab and take it,' to be blunt. That's why I was going alone. I was supposed to find her from the air, swoop down, grab her out of his arms, cross the veil, and take her back in an ice prison..."
He shook his head, not sure how to go about it. "You wanna try talking to her first?"
