Alright, they where bailing out of the offices and going to hang out where they could relax. And Isao was with them this time. Perfection was approaching, and she was okay with this. Time to talk, time to hang out, time to do other things, maybe... yeeeah. This was needed. She wasn't even bothering when people tried to stop her from stalking down the tunnels; sad how she was wearing her actual uniform for once, and people still felt the need to ask who she was, if she was lost, and if she was allowed down in the special tunnels. Time to put in some face time it seemed; she was a veritable unknown to the people she was supposed to be helping, and that was not a good thing.

Into their special area she went; screw the shower, screw clothing, just them and the wonderfully hot water. Yaaaay. It took her a few minutes to get out of her clothes, and with her mesh gloves fraying so badly they kept catching on things as she tried to pull them off; but she was successful soon enough. Right into the water she went, allowing herself to sink down just as Kouki had and joining her in the happy place that was the bottom of their spring. Now for Isao to appear, and all would be well.

Off to the Hot Springs. It was about time they had some alone time. Running a village meant that they had duties and obligations on a daily basis. Finding some time to relax was not an easy task. Isao moved quickly through the tunnels, excited to get to the springs. As he entered the building he ignored all the usual rituals. He stripped down to nothing and headed out to the steaming paradise. Seeing Kouki and Mizuko already there, he lowered himself into the water and sighed.

His natural instinct was to go to the bottom of the spring, but he resisted for now. He would let them make that move. However, he immediately moved over towards the girls, making sure he was within range to give a good hug, or other things, if needed. They more time they spent together, the closer they got. His body yearned for some human contact as well, so he hoped they got the idea.

Well, apparently being naked was a good choice as she watched Mizuko enter into the water and join her at the bottom and then Isao enter in as well. She remembered that they had wanted more information on the Yanagi twins, but at the moment she couldn't bring herself to care. The idea of just having some alone time, just the three of them, was far more appealing then talking about work, the village, or anything pertaining to it.

Isao keeping his distance simply wasn't going to do. "Hnn, you're too far away." She reached out and snatched gently at the first part of him she could reach, his leg, and dragged him over to them with a grin. Yes, this closeness was better; especially as she moved both of them closer to Mizuko. Peeeerfect.

She was settling in when Isao appeared and part of her was not happen when he didn't sink down to join them. Of course, Kouki took care of that, and she was very much in agreement with what was said to him. "Yes... to far. Down you get.~" Kouki was pulling him down, and that was good, but she was gunna make sure he didn't go anywhere, her own leg the closest to him even as he was pulled down, and good enough for some tentacle attaching. Get the party started nice and early, yep. When she realized that Kouki was shifting closer, she reached out with an arm to grab the younger and pull her fast, and by extension yank him down faster as well. Contact... need physical contact. "Better. Much better."

She all but curled around Isao, much as she loved almost snaking around Kouki, she hadn't seen him in longer, and missed him dearly. "No more disappearing. Don't like it when I don't see you for more then a day." Oh, she was almost clinging to him, but she was making sure there was plenty of room for Kouki to join her; she'd love nothing more then to curl into a giant ball of them like they had that first time they'd spent time alone in a hot spring back in Niwaurushi. "Screw work for a while... just us, please?"

Well, the little distance he left didn't last long as Kouki quickly reached over and grabbed his leg, pulling him in close. She commented that he was too far away, which made him smile a bit. It seemed Mizuko had a similar idea, as a tentacle was felt before full contact was made between them. She also spoke to him, asking him not to disappear again. He immediately felt awful. If one of them had done such a thing, he would have been worried sick. It wouldn't happen again. "Sorry...I got a little carried away. Was really motivated to finish the jutsu to protect the village. I promise it won't happen again."

At this point, Mizuko was basically wrapped around him and Kouki was sure to be in the mix as well. "I'm here as long as you guys are." He said with a grin as he wrapped his free arm around Kouki and brought her in tight. It was so odd for him to be so playful and aggressive. It reminded him of the old days. Back when he was different. Maybe that Isao would return one day. He rested his head on Mizuko and relaxed, allowing the ball of people to float and supporting them at the same time. "I missed you both. It's hard being away from you..."

"Yes, no work now... playtime~" Yes yes, it was time for them to be able to be close without having to worry about the outside world: even if it was only for a short period of time. Things would definitely be nice once everything was settled and taken care of and the village was running smoothly - though it was doing pretty well now with how everything had been going. "If we have to we'll put a mini hot tub in your office and just lock ourselves in next time you get so busy...." Anything to keep them close would work.

Urges were rising up, and she could think of one excellent way to make up for lost time. Besides, it was about damn time they broke down that last little barrier that separated them. She clung to Kouki and Isao, enjoying the intermingling of bodies and the things that it lead too...

.oO(Annnnnd to the dismay of some who might be reading this and waiting for something to happen, blacking it out. :p Next poster can skip to after the naughty stuff is over~)

o.O(So skip to three days later you mean? xD)

Right, so... that was... holy wow had that been needed. If not for that sound proofing that would have lead to one awkward explanation later on; but for now no one cared; she sure as hell didn't. She was far too comfortable just floating around in a ball of clinging bodies; half asleep and very much relaxed. Hell, she'd be fine staying that for the next month, if not for duty tugging at her brain; although not quite enough to get her moving just yet. A gentle reminder that she needed to get up and do things later on; they all did really; but eh. They'd earned what time they could get.

"Need to just... do this more often. No more going days without seeing each other, agreed?"

Wow....that was awesome. He had already felt closer to these two girls than anyone in his life, but this took things to another level. The three of them simply floated in a ball of warmth and love as these thoughts ran through his head. They would have to do that more often. "Agreed." Isao spoke calmly as his grip on the two females didn't loosen. He didn't care how long they had been there or how much longer they would be in the Hot Springs. All he knew is he didn't want to let them go. Not now or ever.

"I had an idea while I was working on the Genjutsu for the village. I don't know if it's possible with Fuuinjutsu, but we can try. What if we had a Body Seal somewhere on our bodies that served as an emergency beacon. Say we get into trouble and the other two are not there? Channel some chakra into the seal to let the other two know. I don't know what I would do if something happened to either of you and I didn't even know you were in danger to try and help." The words flew out of his mouth before he really had time to think about what he was saying. This was him being completely honest and probably paranoid. He didn't care. It was better to be safe than sorry.

"Mmmhmm... definitely have to do this more often.", words mumbled in an agreement as she floated with the other two. Her eyes were closed, her mind in a completely blissful and happy state. She had no intentions of moving or doing much of anything for the moment. Even her empty stomach was keeping itself quiet which made it all too easy to continue to ignore. Yeap, this was where she wanted to be...

At Isao's suggestion she opened her eyes, biting the bottom of her lip as she often did when thinking hard about something. The idea was an excellent one, and she was pretty sure she could pull something like that off: and how too. "I don't see why I couldn't slap a seal on the three of us that would function like that. That'd be a handy seal to have - especially if I can work into it so we know where each other actually are. This way there'd be no guessing games." Yes, this was an idea that needed accomplished... soon as she felt like untangling herself from the mass of floating limbs they had become.

Hnnn, this idea. This idea she liked. She very much wanted to try this. She hated not knowing were they were; and if it was strong enough to function over long distances, it would make traveling to the southern nations safer. "I'm all for this. Give how much chakra we're ended up sharing between us, it shouldn't be too hard to do this..." She was no sealer; but she'd read a few books in her day, and that... sounded right? She could swear she'd read something about sharing chakra making certain types of seals easier to apply.

"Let's try this before we leave for the supply run; that way we can field test it with some control. Better then waiting until the last possible second and finding out there's a distance limit or something."

"Awesome! I never want to be out of reach and this will be one way of making sure that happens. No rush though, I don't feel like moving right now..." He said with a chuckle as he squeezed both of them tight. His smile was warm and serene as he floated there with both of them. Perfection was the only word that could describe how he felt. His head came to rest on someone's shoulder, though he didn't really know who. It didn't matter to him. He loved them both equally. 

"By the way, when is that supply run going to happen? I want to have the Genjutsu done by then. I won't feel safe leaving until then, despite Kurai and Hikari being capable of defending it." He said with a firm tone as he showed pride in the village he helped create and run. Considering what this area used to look like when Korigakure was around, he knew there were powerful people out there that didn't mind blowing up a village.

Kouki shifted only slightly; it was enough to free her arms. There was no reason for them to have to wait so long as she was capable of using her arms: they were all close enough after all. The seal wasn't as complicated a matter as originally though - they had all shared more than enough chakra for the past three days to make the seal easier as could be to place. She did her own first; a small swirly looking seal placed on her body, and then did Isao's and Mizuko's in turn as well. The seal would help them all to be able to know where each other was at all times, as well as with the right amount of chakra to activate it would alert them if one or the other were in danger.

"There we go... didn't even have to move much.", she said with a grin. Her stomach roared to life suddenly, obviously feeling it had been ignored long enough since she was going to move around that much, and she rolled her eyes. "Probably should get some food..."

"Yes, you probably should... before I eat someone. 'Course, I won't eat either of them but everyone else is fair game..."

"In fact, now I'm positive we should get some food..." The mental warning was enough to get her willing to move: turning into a raging beast of a dragon and nomming on some poor villager wasn't in her to-do list for today. "Suiro's hungry too.. "

Oh the wonders of Uzumaki sealing skills; anyone else would have need some kind of complex bullshit to pull that off; for her it was nothing but a quick doodle and done. Too bad sharing her own gifts was far more difficult, and would take a hell of a lot longer. "Food... food sounds good, actually. Might as well get something before the other beast wakes up, eh? She's less apt to eat people... but she's grouchy when she's hungry."

True enough; and her beast being grouchy meant she was grouchy; and no one wanted the walking toxin to be grouchy. "We can likely leave a little later in the week; after the fishermen are in port and we can seal off the bay for safety. They've been doing so well that the village can go a few days with them stuck in port. So long as we make sure to bring back fruit seeds and saplings if possible; we'll be okay. We should get a listing together from the hospital of what medicines and supplies they'll need; I have my list ready and memorized. Let's go get some food, then break to do that; and we can meet back up in say... 2 days, to get going. We can decide who goes to talk to the Hakage and such before we leave."

Wow, that was fast. In only a few short moments, Kouki had drawn the seals on the three of them that would make sure they were always able to find each other. It was nice to have that security. Soon afterwards, she mention food, which sent his stomach into a grumbling fit. Mizuko agreed that getting food would be a good idea and Isao simply nodded. He had a tendency to be grumpy himself when he was this hungry. Of course, he could contain his mood around them. But around others? Not so much. 

Mizuko then explained the plan on what they needed to do before they left. Everything was sound and planned out, as he would expect. It was nice to have them around for that side of the council business. Planning and managing a trip was definitely not something he could do alone. "Sounds good. After we get some food, I'm going to finish up the genjutsu as well. Only a few tweaks and it should be ready. Just to make sure our village is safe. I won't disappear this time though, I promise." He winked at them afterwards, reassuring their doubts if they had any. Then his stomach growled again. Food. Oh yea. "Lets go ahead and get out. Food is the only thing I can think of at this point." He said laughing a little as he forced himself to let go of them and surface to the top. He moved over to the side and got out of the Hot Springs. He quickly put on his clothes after drying off, waiting for them to get ready as well.
