Rin knocked impatiently on Shisui's door.
"SHISUIWEEEEEEE! I am here..! For our Tattoos and Drinks date! Today is the day!"
Shisui was about to take his first bite of sashimi after a long morning of training so hard his shoulder and hips hurt. Rin was here early, and too chipper for how tired he was. He took a big bite and went to open the door.
"Hii'eedtaheafflunchfirrrrsssh," was his immediate response to Rin who stood there impatiently. He swallowed and stepped back, gesturing for her to come inside.
She pushed past him and stepped in, gesturing for him to put his shoes on. "Are you ready?!"
He went back to his lunch and sat down heavily, taking another bite of delicious sashimi. "What's the rush?"
She glared at him.
"We agreed on a time last night! Why are you eating now!" She sat down across from him and resumed glaring.
He patiently.. slowly.. picked up tuna roll with his chopstick.. spared a piece of ginger.. dipped it in soy sauce.. and took a dainty bite of both.
"Mmmmm..."
He watched her as he ate.
"HURRY UP SHISUI WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She made a fist and pounded on the table.
"WHY AREN'T YOU SPEED EATING!"
He swallowed.
"Speed eating gives me tummy aches. My insides do digest food at the same rate as anyone else's insides do." He took a sip of Ramun.
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Wow." He blinked.
Rin put her head in her hands and cried.
He picked up a piece of spicy idaho roll w/ginger and held his arm out to Rin to eat. "Sweet potato roll the only sushi you'll eat.. baby is hungry, baby needs to be fed."
"I'M NOT HUNGRY I DON'T NEED TO BE FED!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She was hungry.
Shisui was patient. He knew Rin very well, and how HANGRY she got when she didn't eat.
"Please.. take this piece. I can tell you skipped breakfast and lunch." Typical Rin. He hovered his chopsticks directly in front of her mouth. He wasn't going to relent.
She dropped her hands and sighed. Glared more. And took the bite offered. Rin had been rushing all morning, before..
"Before Obito gets home." He nodded and picked up another spicy idaho roll with his chopsticks and held it out to her again. "Eat."
She impatiently took the bite and chewed quickly and ate it.
"SHISUI!" She grabbed his ramune soda and drank it. "HURRY UP OR I'M LEAVING!"
"It doesn't matter how quickly we get there, the tattoo won't be done today. The design you want will take SEVERAL sessions, maybe over weeks. How do you plan to hide it from 'bito for so long?" He stood up and went to shower and brush his teeth and smell nice. It took 2 minutes but he was sure Rin was about to explode by the end of those 2 minutes.
"I'm ready." He grabbed his keys, wallet, and phone and ushered her out the door.
"FINALLY!"
She didn't know. They would fight a lot, nothing new there.
"Can flicker us both to the spot?" She motioned with her hands to do his speed.
He started to walk ahead of her at a leisurely pace. It was a gorgeous day and he wasn't in the mood to rush.
"The sun is out the birds are singing.. summer is lovely isn't it?"
She glared again, and stalked up to him. "We are going to be late." It was already 1:30. She slung her arm around his and squeezed his tightly coiled biceps. It really was a shame that Shisui was gay, the least he could have done is be BI. "Have you decided on a design."
"No I want to see how the print is done first and how dark the ink is, also depends on the skill level of the tattoo artist." He wasn't even sure what the design he wanted was.
She knew what she wanted! It was going to be very sexy! If Obito wasn't so against it he would love the design she chose!
"Here we are." She motioned to the tattoo parlour. "It looks expensive.." They went in.
"Well that didn't take long!" He followed her in and glanced around. "Doesn't look like a hole in the wall.. I have seen worse." There was chintzy furniture, elegant mirrors, even complimentary champagne.
She spoke to the receptionist who smiled and offered her a flute glass of champagne. She motioned Rin to sit and wait. The lady had several piercings
Walks up to Shisui. "I can't believe I'm doing this!!" She gripped the delicate stem of the champagne, but didn't take a sip. "EXCITING!"
He was gazing at images on the walls, they were of very intricate tattoo designs and body modifications to various degrees.
"Should I get a piercing.." he already knew without finishing that he wouldn't. He turned to Rin and watched her hands, almost hypnotized by the motion.
"Hello."
"DAMMIT!" She slammed the champagne down and stared at Obito.
"By now you should know I track where you go every single second of the day, my love."
Obito cast a cold eye towards the tattoo artist who was walking in their direction. He didn't spare a glance at Shisui, the man to blame for this deliberate attempt at risk on Rin's life.
"We're going now."
"Seriously? and do you have to wear your Akatsuki robes and spiral mask in here?"
Rin ignored Obito and followed the tattoo design person to an area in the back. He asked her what she wanted and she showed him an image. It would start near her groin area, a few inches down, and run down along the inside of her thigh. She asked the guy how many sessions she needed and the total cost. He told her it was ¥20,000 per hour which was reasonable but the total yielded to.. almost ¥800,000. Rin did noooooooooooot have ¥800,000 out of pocket.
"What if I start small.. here's a design for my finger, it fits right here.."
Obito stood directly behind Rin, hovering in her vicinity, bearing his gleaming red and violet stare down at the man. 800,000? For a tattoo? Was money made on trees?
