On to the Hot Springs (Dashe)

[MAKOTO STORM]

This was exciting for Makoto, just hanging out with her brother. What would it have been like if she did stay with him and mom? After leaving the Ichiraku Ramen bar, she took in a deep breath of the air to get rid of the scent of the oil and smell of ramen out of her senses. Makoto looked over at Dashe who should be following behind. He agreed to go along to the hot springs but seemed oblivious to what she had in mind. As she started to walk Makoto put her hands behind her head.

"What have you been doing? Who's on your team?" She asked as they walked towards the hot spring.

[DASHE STORM]

Dashe was walking along behind Makoto glasses back on now hands shoved into his pockets. Today had certainly been a change of events for him. He had found he had an older sister and that the clan had not only disowned her but had been responsible for their father's death. His mind was just racing thinking about and he knew the hot springs was just to distract from it. Makoto wanted him to go undercover in the clan and help her clean out the corruption. He had more than agreed but he wondered if the two of them could do anything. If they were found out would both of them be killed.

"If you mean clan life a lot of studying and training," Dashe replied. He then pulled a hand out to adjust his glasses again. "I just got a team two days ago. Our sensei is pretty kool a fire style jutsu user. Ren is pretty and nice. She's a water style jutsu user and Kentaru was one of her former classmates who has a crush on her!" He sighed rolling his eyes a little at the name. He didn't hate the guy he was just jealous of the competition.

[MAKOTO STORM]

Makoto nodded slowly. "I'm guessing that girl with you yesterday was this Ren girl." She looked over at Dashe. "She looks like a person I can beat." Makoto narrowed her eyes playfully. Of course, she was uncertain about the girl and her power, was she a liability to the team her brother was on or not. She then noticed he had rolled his eyes. "Hey, hey, hey. If you want her you are going to have to fight. Your from the Storm clan, show her what you're made of."

She dropped her arms to her side, seeing the hot springs coming into view.

[DASHE STORM]

"Yeah she's the one," Dashe replied raising a brow now. How would she know that unless she had been spying on him. She had said she was looking out for him so it would make sense. "She might look weak right now but she has great potential. Your a chunin I guess so you'd have the unfair advantage!" Dashe smiled sheepishly running a hand through his hair again. He could tell she was playing around though sisters were supposed to be like that he guessed. "Yeah I guess so. Your right and I will try to!" He grinned sheepishly giving her a thumbs up now. He then noticed they had reached the hot springs now and headed inside to the changing room. He changed into a pair of swimming trunks and grabbed a towel. He then headed out into the co-ed hot spring.

[MAKOTO STORM]

Makoto smiled big to his response that he will try harder. Of course she had ran across guys who tried to show off their powers only to be left with a bump to their head and an unimpressed Makoto. That thought made Makoto run a hand through her bangs. She then went to the opposite changing room and changed. Makoto the moved into the co-ed area of the hot springs and found her brother through the heat. She clenched tightly to her towel.

She tapped him lightly on the shoulder and smiled big. "Ready to chill?" Makoto took off the towel she had with her revealing a green and black swimsuit.

[DASHE STORM]

Dashe chuckled slightly at the thought of his sister words. Fighting to impress a girl sounded a little childish but he wondered if any guys had tried it with her. He doubted it since Storm clan women were strong willed and very picky in their youth. He sat down in a corner of the hot springs and leaned back against the rocks. He then felt a tap on his shoulder and looked up to find his older sister standing there in a bathing suit. "I am um yeah sure," Dashe replied stuttering slightly now. He then calmed himself and regained his composure moving over a bit so she could sit herself beside him. He remained silent as he tried to think of something else to say so things didn't remain awkward. "So here we are then sis. So now what do we do?"

[MAKOTO STORM]

She slowly sat down, letting her muscle relax in the hot water. Makoto then took her long, blond hair and pulled it up into a bun. She then looked at Dashe and smiled big. "Well we can just talk about normal stuff." She guessed since the serious stuff was over they could lighten up the mood between both of them.

Makoto hoped he would allow her to do all the planning. She then put her arm around him and squeezed him into a head lock. "Just to let you know, I'm a Jounin not a Chunnin." She squeezed a little hard with an annoyed expression on her face, remembering what he said earlier.

[DASHE STORM]

Sure we can talk about anything you want i guess," Dashe replied. He smiled sheepishly now running a hand through his hair. Dashe was then caught offguard when Makoto pulled him into a headlock looking a little annoyed as she said she was a Jounin not a Chunin. "Alright alright I'm sorry. I'm sorry just let me go please!" He chuckled lightly trying to break free now. He felt like he was in an awkward position so close to her body but she was his sister still if others saw them they'd start saying things probably or spread rumors which wouldn't be good for either of them at all. He finally managed to wiggle himself free and splashed her a little bit.

"So what have you been doing all these years? Your a Jounin so I kinda figure some of it but what about after you left the clan until now?" He had never seen her around the village until now. He then grabbed a sponge and tossed it in his hands a few times smiling sheepishly now. He knew she was his sister now but she was pretty much still a mystery to him. He wanted to know more about her so he could know her better.

[MAKOTO STORM]

Makoto laughed as Dashe was squirming out of her arm and apologizing for not realizing her was a higher rank. The water made it easier for him to get out. For them being that close unlike Dashe, she enjoyed that they could be close, it actually felt like forever to her. Makoto rose an eyebrow as he asked what she has been doing.

She sighed thinking of what she was doing. "Well, after I left, I stayed with my team until our last teammate become a chunnin then I went and taught a little at the academy. Of course the clan made sure I stayed away from you. Got threatened to come back." Makoto leaned back, remembering that day, she was only training. She guessed she became a little strong and it made the man worry so he had to come out and tell her to come back.

"Other than that I would take on so many missions. Then I was asked to participate in the jounin exams and did even more stuff since our village needs to extra hands." She shrugged, looking down at her brother.

[DASHE STORM]

He raised a brow at the mention of the academy. He was surprised she had actually taught there. To think they could've met then but again the clan had to mess things up. They had threatened her to come back surprised him too. "Why would they threaten you? Was it because of those secrets or our clan kekkai genkai?" He looked to Makoto now with a serious expression on his face. Could he ever really leave like she did? Would they threaten him to come back as well if he did. Would they kill if him or someone he cared about if he didn't? "Yeah the village does need help I guess. That Uzumaki guy can't do everything himself I guess!" He smiled sheepsihly leaning up against Makoto now. He then held up a hand with the sponge in it and squeezed it a few times before tossing it at Makoto.
