Shinobi get the best fishing spots... [open]

[renzo]

Renzo stretched in the sunlight that was gleaming from the exposed sun high in the sky. He spread his arms and looked out into the blue sky, seemingly endless as it continued into the blue waves of the ocean. Yes, this was definitely the best idea he could have thought of. Plenty of open space, lots of sky and sunshine and no current demands of his time.

"Couldn't have asked for a better day!" Renzo said out loud, hefting the fishing pole he'd grabbed from inside his house. "Perfect everything! I bet the fish will be biting like crazy!" Renzo made his way down to the dock, his fishing pole slung over the opposite shoulder that held Raitenshi. Renzo was determined to spend his time until reassignment being relaxed so he forced all the thoughts of what that weapon could and had done in its history and looked down the dock to the old man at the end with a boat.

"Hey there mister, need a boat for your fishing or you just gonna do it out here on the dock?" The old man frequently offered travel out to some of the smaller islands, Renzo knew. Instead, Renzo just tilted his head and smiled.

"Nah, I'll walk myself out, don't trouble yourself for me." Renzo then proceeded to walk off the end of the dock and continue walking over the waves until he reached a rock a fair distance out from the shorline. "Perfect spot too! Is there anything that can go wrong with today?" Renzo promptly set himself down and sat crosslegged, casting out his fishing pole to the waves, half-expecting a fish to leap out of the water and catch the bait in mid-air. When that didn't happen he passed it off as being a rather silly notion in the first place.

He lay back, propping his fishing pole between a foot and an outcrop of rock and leaned back, watching the cloudless sky overhead. "So...peaceful..." Renzo thought right before closing his eyes and falling into the peaceful world of sleep.

A boat came drifting by slowly carrying the old man from the dock. He looked at Renzo's sleeping form and sighed. "Shinobi always did get the best fishing spots..."

Today was a rather nice day for Asuka to be out and doing a little bit of training. She thought she might as well do a few fancy moves on the water, because it would help with her chakra control a little. Besides, the waves were a little rocky from the wind, which would make things harder to balance, and therefore increase her stability a little. However, if the subject of cute boys came up, Asuka would be into that before anyone could guess.

Little did she expect to see someone that cute, however. As she dashed this way and that, performing acrobatic flips and manoeuvres and practising her combos with her spinner, her eyes were suddenly caught as a hook, a fishing hook, caught her boot and tugged. Then, it simply sat there, and Asuka thought she might as well return it to its rightful owner... Because there could possibly be a chance of a cute boy being involved. As she tugged on the hook and moved it this way and that, however, she found that it wouldn't come loose, and she knew that if she took off her boot, she'd most likely cut her foot open. Perhaps the fisher on the other side of the hook could help her remove it...

Thinking that to be a probable idea, Asuka walked along the water with tedious steps so as to avoid the hook poking her and picked up part of the line, pulling on it until it was taut enough that she could see it. Walking along and following it, she gently rolled it up around her wrist as she went, following it to wherever it might lead. She couldn't really see the line to pinpoint where, but it looked like it was going in the direction of a sleeping boy who'd left his pole on a small outcrop. He looked to be staring at the sky, but as Asuka looked further, she recognized him... She could recognize that he was Kuroha Renzo, a fellow Chuunin of hers, and a cute one at that. Oh, jackpot! she thought, following the line even quicker.

Coming upon the boy, she spoke up and lifted her foot. "Um," she said, shaking the boy's shoulder just slightly. "I think you caught something, but I'm pretty sure it's not a fish. At least, I hope it's not..."

[renzo]

Renzo muttered slightly in his sleep, oblivious to the fact that his line had gone taught and that he'd started reeling in something. He also had no idea just what kind of catch he'd managed to land himself while he was blissfully unaware of the world.

"...Fish. At least I hope it's not..."

[/b] Renzo heard the words and opened his eyes sitting up to find himself staring up at Fujiwara Asuka, a chunnin around his own age. He wondered exactly what she meant for a moment before noticing that his fishing line seemed to be emerging from underneath one of her boots. Renzo could feel his face starting to redden and he jumped up to his knees quickly.

"Oh my god, did I get my hook stuck in your foot? I'm so sorry! I--uh--I'll get it out...I'm so, so, so sorry!" Renzo quickly turned his gaze down to Asuka's legs and feet and felt his face begin to redden more. He hoped she would mistake it for sunburn, but somehow he seriously doubted it. Come on, boots, it's just removing the fish hook that's your fault to begin with, nothing wierd about that. The closer Renzo's hands got to Asuka's boots the more nervous and fidgity he got. This is probably not going to make a good impression.

"Uh...hang on, the hooks are barbed slightly... just a sec." Renzo dug around in the bag of equipment he'd brought with him. Come on...there's got to be a kunai in here somewhere! Aha! Renzo pulled out the tool and nearly proceeded to drop it on his own foot. RENZO YOU IDIOT! Renzo berated himself mentally while he held onto the kunai firmly to keep from dropping it again.

"I'm sooo sorry, I didn't mean to--I just--I wasn't expecting to see anyone today and--I'm sorry," as he spoke Renzo scratched one side of his head in embarrasment. "I'll get the line and the bottom half of the hook unattached, but you'll have to take your boot off if you don't want the barb to rip open the bottom of your shoes... Again, I'm so sorry! I was careless!" Renzo tried to avoid eye-contact with Asuka as he knew that looking straight at her would set him off blushing again. With a single deft move, he easily split the portion of the fish hook still sticking out of the boot and grabbed it before it could fall away and stick in someone else's boot.[/color][/blockquote]

Watching the boy be so flustered was going to make Asuka giggle; it really wasn't a problem, it was just the fact that she had no skill at removing fish hooks. At the thought of taking her boot off, she shook her head; the barb and the hook were in too awkward of a position that she'd be able to take it out without any harm. Then again, the way her foot was, it wouldn't cut any major arteries, so she could probably take care of it.

Giggling at his obvious peril from when he'd nearly dropped the kunai on his foot, Asuka slowly removed her boot to avoid cutting anything that shouldn't be, and the moment her skin was free of the hook, she quickly slid it off to avoid leaving any blood behind in the boot, tore off the glove on one of her hands, and stood, balanced on one foot, a green chakra enveloping her hand and quickly closing up the wound. Returning her foot down to the water, she watched as he carefully removed the hook and barb from her boot. Squatting down, she decided she might as well reassure him and take a little time to flirt at least.

"It's not like you could've expected me to be running around on the water like I was, now could you?" She asked, leaning a little forward to hopefully make eye contact with the boy. Oh, he was so cute; she almost couldn't get over it. She'd make sure he was hers someday, hopefully... "It's no big deal, trust me," she said, laughing a little. "I've been in much worse situations, I'm sure. Oh well, looks like you caught me, little fisherman!" She jested, giggling. "Am I a good enough catch for you?" Her flirtatious innuendos would hopefully be caught, most likely, or at least, that was what Asuka hoped...

[renzo]

Renzo felt his face flush even more, if it was possible as Asuka giggled at his sudden spurt of awkward clumsiness. Being fairly gentlemanly he averted his eyes as Asuka slowly removed the boot. Whatever you do, Renzo, DON"T STARE! It would be incredibly rude and Uncle Gandame always said to be polite to girls... As the boot came off Renzo took it and carefully fished the barb of the hook out and held it cautiously between his fingers before carefully putting it in the bag with the rest of his equipment.

As Asuka spoke to him again he turned his head back to face her only to nearly crash his face into hers. "Uwaah!" Renzo said jumping back slightly from where he was sitting on the ground. "Sorry, I wasn't expecting you to be that close when I turned around. I'm glad that you're okay and unhurt though, it was really careless of me to fall asleep there."

Renzo didn't register any of Asuka's innuendos in the slighest. "Well as fish go, you're pretty big, but I'd be satisfied. A fish like you'd make some good eating for a couple days!" Renzo smiled without the least indication that he was aware of anything of what his statement could have implied. "Again, even though there was no real harm done, I'm so incredibly sorry...Fujiwara-san, right? I don't think we've ever officially met...I'm Renzo. Kuroha Renzo." Renzo held out his hand to shake Asuka's.

Asuka could've easily screamed at the naivety of this boy. How could he mistake her flirty comment for something so... Boring! Nonetheless, it was kind of funny that he was so clueless; she'd surely have to change that. Of course, clueless boys could surely be cute sometimes...

"Please, please, call me Asuka," she stated, giggling as she took her boot back and slid it carefully on to her foot. The fact they'd been so close made her giggle, almost; so her flirtatiousness was working, or so it seemed! This boy was so cute, she just couldn't resist. Maybe she could get him to teach her how to fish... Of course, the question was, would it be as horrid as her ability to cook?

As if trying to answer her own question, Asuka plopped herself down beside Renzo and glanced at the fishing rod. "I've never fished before," she said, thinking on it a little bit. "Hey, do you think you could maybe teach me to fish? I really want to learn!" Her voice was enthusiastic, and she punched a fist up into the air to express it a little. "Of course... If it's not too problematic, after all," Asuka added with a giggle, locking her hands behind her back in that cute way and turning her face a little towards the ground, looking at Renzo through her eyelashes. This was going to be a fun day yet...

[renzo]

For a couple of moments Asuka's expression seemed different and Renzo wondered if he'd said something wrong but when he double-checked she was still smiling. Hmm, maybe not then? He looked back at her as she told him to call her by her first name.

"Alright then, Asuka-san." He looked out at the blue waters and smiled. It really was a beautiful day and now he had someone to share it with. Maybe a fish hook in the boot didn't detract from a perfect day like this...

"You want to learn...how to fish?" Renzo said. "Well...I dunno if I'm qualified to teach anyone anything, but I'll do my best!" Renzo looked around his little rock and gathered everything needed from what he had out and what was still stored in his pack. Needed to replace the hook anyways since I had to cut the thing off.

"Well for starters, you usually need a fishing pole to fish. You don't need one, but the majority of people can only fish with a fishing rod. I've heard of some ninja that can fish with their bare hands, but that's besides the point." Renzo held out the fishing pole. "You hold this end over here, without the fishline attached, and once you have a hook and bait and your fishing line all ready you just throw it out there!"

Renzo realized that his instruction to "throw it out there" probably wouldn't make much sense so he clarified himself. "When I say throw it out there I mean you cast the line. You pull the fishing rod back and then whip it forward. The line and hook go sailing out far away and you start to fish!"
