In some shadowy room, not unlike an evil lair of sorts, was an armored man reviewing some parchments. Going from legal business accounts to underground funds numbers he quietly remained there going back and forth between numbers and reports. Despite not having his helmet on his face was hidden as there was barely any light source as a lone candle lay on the back shelf, yet he wasn't hindered in any way due to this. He took a brief sip of tea and turned his gaze to the lone figure that lightly stirred on the divan beside him. A small smile that would never be seen by any of his underlings grazed his lips. He had a small flashback of when he met with this precious creature and how everything changed from there. His reverie was interrupted as a polite knock on his door was heard. He silently donned his helmet and with a slightly echoic voice replied.
"Enter"
"Master, a summon arrived with a message from master BloodMst" that got his attention
"From Blood, alright give it to me Aki" and the now named Aki approached and in a half bow offered the scroll. He took it and unfurled it with curiosity and Aki retired from the room. It had been a while since he had word from Blood. Aside from pleasantries and overall staying in contact, it had been a long time since he contacted him for something in this side of the world.
"Mmmhm interesting"
"What is it?" said a silky voice; he turned and saw his beloved stirring awake from the divan.
"In a moment my love; Aki!" said underling entered promptly
"Yes my liege?"
"Send a squad to guard a new restaurant called The moon & Fox ramen, they're possible subjects of interest. Also tell them to take precautions the targets and hostiles most likely are familiar with moving in the shadows"
"I severely doubt they can be the shadows, though" the two of them chuckled darkly and the one still laying down smirked
"See to it then"
"Yes!" and Aki departed
"Now what was it that Blood wanted? He so rarely contacts us anymore" she said in mock pout
"Now now my love you know that he decided to have a rest from this side of things" she giggled mischievously
"I know, but I'm still going to tease him about it later, so is it something fun?" she replied as her voice deepened and rolled off in sadistic glee. He just chuckled and caressed her cheek
"Of that I have no doubt. As for his message, apparently said restaurant owner may be some sort of retired soldier or mercenary. However is his inkling that he is more related to our side of expertise. It seems his business has been trashed on a previous occasion and the perpetrators are a stubborn lot, so he decided to call a favor with us" his lover thought about it for a second as she played with her lower lip.
"He must have gained his trust or is someone important to him if he actually decided to cash in a favor with us" she said finally
"My thoughts exactly, this might be worth to keep an eye on"
"so feel up for some late dinner my love?" he asked and she just arched an eyebrow
"then why send a squad then?"
"because I want to have dinner with my love" he said nearing at her and getting at eye level
"Mouu! You're impossible" she mock complained as she removed his helmet
"And who would be the responsible, eh" he replied as their lips met and their tongues met each other.
Naruto was having a bad feeling tonight. He wasn't sure about what exactly but his skin was crawling and his senses were eager and standing up in anticipation; Kurama seemed to agree as he could clearly picture him with his tails swaying and eyes open. He was torn from his musings as Leona again demanded Diana to tell her just what she up to, he couldn't help but be amused. Really this two, their fight was actually sort of cute. She had entered a few minutes before looking somewhat haggard. She asked if this was the new restaurant rumored in the league. Naruto almost face palmed at that moment, Blood-san better had nothing to do with that. Call him paranoid but he had that kind of luck.
"Diana! I demand an Answer now"
"tch, keep your voice down you're not the only one in here. As brash and rude as always" retorted Diana in a derisive and annoyed tone, but overall she remained composed. This seemed to stun the sun maiden as she actually expected her to start off a fight. Naruto couldn't help but feel proud of her; she really had come a long way from before.
"wha- why you!" she received another glare from Diana "you're disturbing the other costumers" Leona paused and realized that she was in fact making a scene and relented trying to calm herself. She also noted that there were some soldiers and warriors looking at her as if she was a wild animal. She bristled at the thought, why her and not Diana she was a renown warrior with honor.
"Mah mah, please calm yourself and why don't you try some of our ramen" did I just channeled Kakashi? He gently led Leona to a table and sat her down as he brought some snack and Tea. Again she eyed the warriors and from time to time they still looked at her expecting her to do something and kept their weapons close, she bristled again and drank from her cup. It was pleasant, a little bitter but slightly citric taste. She relaxed a little and ate some of the cheese snacks, after a while she realized that there were actually quite a bit of civilians eating also. They all; mercenaries and civilians, enjoyed their meals in peace.
"Here you go Leona-san! Uzumaki Special!" Leona blinked in surprise she tough he would be coming to take an order.
"Don't think too hard about it" some scruffy noxian said across her table. Just as she was about to retort to him.
"yeah don't worry too much lass, just taste it, the Uzumaki Special are always catered to the customer. Once you taste you'll get a glimpse of food happiness" said some Demacian soldier as he walked to the exit
"Oy!" shouted the noxian, Leona feared a fight was about to ensue "did yah calm the brat down? I don't wanna anger the boss and be banned here"
"What theā¦"
"yeah don't worry he was punished for improper behavior and warned sternly"
"huh!"
"He had to watch as we ate in front of him and only gave him his portion after he wrote an apology to master naruto"
"Good" said the noxian with a dark chuckle as the demacian just snorted lightly and left
"haaah?!" the discussion was going too fast for her to understand, how were a noxian and a demacian getting along, sort off.
"it'd gonna get cold girl" said the noxian offhandedly.
"Right, thank you" she choked out. The man just waved her off and resumed eating. She looked at her bowl and finally registered the smell that wafted from it and made her stomach growl. The soup had an arrangement of a fishcake colored in yellow and wavy peppers surrounded it on one half alluding the sun. While the other half was devoured by a white radish emulating a full moon. She frowned at the arrangement, but couldn't deny that it was beautifully made. She took a spoonful and ate. Delicious!
Naruto looked at Leona began to eat fervently from her bowl he wanted to chuckle but refrain from doing so. He also was happy that another enjoyed his and Tsuki-hime's food. diana decided to remain in the kitchen but had an eye on leona every so often, he noticed that despite everything she was actually somewhat curious. not that she would actually admit it but that didn't matter for now. Now if just he was able to know what those guys that made themselves shadows wanted. Honestly their skulking around was getting annoying, thanks to Kurama he was able to feel their emotions but damn were they giving him a headache.
