Another Nine-Tails?!

Hot Springs (NSFW)

(Nudity, but not an actual lemon/smut)

Akiko growled at herself, leaning against the wall outside of her master's room. She didn't need to be babysat, she wasn't a child. She didn't want to be babysat. But, Kabuto did make a good point about her needing friends. She closed her eyes and nodded to herself before slamming the back of her head against the wall in frustration. The dull thump of pain didn't deter her from her goal of finding the two women from earlier. And maybe a shower... or bath.

Sitting cross-legged on a stone support beam, Akiko spread her chakra throughout the hideout and tired to find Haishiko and Kito. Her eyes snapped open when she found the women. She quickly jumped down and dashing to their location.

At the moment, the pair of women were cleaning up another mess made by the Sound 4. They liked to completely massacre prisoners Lord Orochimaru kept. Or they liked to call; playthings. "I don't understand why he was so angry when I was near that girl." Haishiko murmured.

"And you think I do, Hai?!" Kito exclaimed. They could have lost their lives if the boy had decided they were in his way. "I'm just happy he didn't kill either of us."

"Yeah, I guess your right." She looked up and past her lover, spotting the red-haired teen.

"You're Haishiko and Kito, right?" The women nodded. "My name is Akiko. Umm," she clapped her hands together, hesitating to continue. "Kabuto said you two could babysit me..?"

"He said we should watch you, bot babysit you. There's a difference, hon." Haishiko smiled at the younger girl, standing up. "We're done here, right, Waka?"

"Yeah." The blue-haired woman nodded, moving the stand beside her lover. "We're good."

"Great!" She turned back to Akiko. "If you want to, you can me Hai. Also, do you know why Kabuto told us to watch you?" Curiosity filled her voice.

"He said that I needed a friend, someone other than him. So, here we are."

"Well, first things first, we should get you cleaned up. There's blood on your shirt, and scratches on your face." Kito gestured at the stain on her shirt. "Then we can do whatever you want. Oh, and call me Waka from now on."

Akiko stopped dead in her tracks at the cave opening. Sure, she'd been to the hot springs in the Leaf, but this was completely different. Torches lined the walls, illuminating the bright blue water. Smoke rose from the waters surface. Her mouth fell open as she looked around, a silent 'wow' leaving her lips.

Waka chuckled at her reaction, Haishiko smiling softly beside her. "You like it?"

"Like it? It's... wow!" She grinned, turning around with her arms wide. Guess working for a shinobi like Orochimaru wasn't so horrible. "I've been in a hot spring before, but never one like this. I've never actually been to an underground one." This one was so much more private, having only one entrance and exit. So no peeping toms. "The one back home had a bamboo fence around it, but this has no room for perverted men to watch."

"Only one way to enter." Waka looked at the cave entrance. "The only things that can get in and out easily are the snakes. They patrol the area, mostly female ones though. Lord Orochimaru has a bunch of snakes spread throughout the entire base anyway, so why leave this one alone? He might be creepy himself, but he doesn't tolerate perverted guys sneaking a peek. Especially if they work for him."

"Must be due to the fact that he was friends with the white-haired man. From what brother has experienced, he's quite the pervert." Karma sounded bored, yet somehow amused. She might've even yawned. The redhead chuckled lightly, covering her mouth. Both women missed the noise.
