When everything in my life went wrong, I could have given up...I could have ended it...now, nearly four years later, I'm making a change and...maybe I'll see the light. I was done with their pity, done with their stares. Leaving everything behind me...
Estimating the path Kuro and his men were continuing down after having followed them for the day, we continued on a few hours into the morning while they slept to get ahead of them. We didn't stop until we came across the next brothel we knew they'd cross in their journey, and the hope was that Tashine Kuro wouldn't be able to stop himself from making another pit stop. If he did, the plan was to serve him some sake as I lured him into one of the rooms. I'd knock him unconscious once inside, replace the scrolls, and then stage his body so when he'd woke he'd just think he passed out drunk after getting some.
Kakashi didn't divulge that we were ninja or exactly what we were doing to the owner. He used part of our mission expense spending money to pay them to utilize their establishment for a short period time, no questions asked and we were never here after.
"I thought I signed up to be a ninja, not a prostitute" I grumbled as I buttoned the collar to the attire one of the girls here in the brothel had been so kind to lend me. Of course Sakura had the good that she didn't fit in anything they had to offer and there wasn't exactly a 'Harlems R Us' wardrobe shop around the corner. And since her ninja outfit wasn't exactly advised for 'undercover' attire, it was all stuck on me.

The only thing I could say I liked about it were the matching sleeves that covered up my arms.
I stepped out of the bathroom and into the bedroom where Kakashi was waiting for me. Naruto was to remain outside staged to watch and communicate Kuro's arrival. Since I couldn't inconspicuously wear an ear piece, Kakashi was to stay inside with me looking like another patron loitering around while he made a decision on what woman to pick. Once Naruto told him, he'd give me a signal to let me know.
For his part, Kakashi had also changed to something simpler-something less 'I'm a ninja'. His back was to me when I entered the room as he straightened the last pieces of his outfit.
