It had been several days since Utsuro's arrival in the Leaf village, and they had by far been the strangest days of his young life. Not that they had been particularly exciting or extraordinary, quite the opposite.
Nobody yelled. Only those who were of higher elevation looked down upon him. Seldom was laughter heard when his clumsy actions caused a scene, in fact help was offered. Everyone was so friendly and warm, a far cry from the cold shoulders he had assumed to be the norm of those outside his village.
And work was plentiful, even for non-shinobi. He had earned quite a few ryu, despite objections at being compensated for tasks such as carrying tools, making deliveries, even simplicities such as holding boards in place to be hammered. Pockets jingled for the first time the young man could ever recall, and the sound was pleasing to his ears.
Utsuro knew just what he wanted to do with this sudden 'wealth', and as he walked the streets of Konoha, a small smile lay fused to his lips at the thought of new clothes, perhaps even a proper haircut! He decided that it would be best to appear presentable before the Hokage, as her return drew ever closer. For the first time in...some time, he felt...good.
This, of course, was always the time when his misfortune struck hardest. Other ears had heard the music of Utsuro's pocket, and had decided they found it pleasing...and desireable..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OoC: just trying to breathe some life into teh board! thugs needed plz! XD Its open-ended, and I really dun wanna beat poor Utsu-kun up myself!

OoC: I couldn't force myself into the thug character, but I thought I'd hop in anyway. Hope that's okay!"Aaaaaaugh!" Adabana Miyoko whined, throwing her head back to look up at the sky. "Such a beautiful day, and I'm forced to hide from those pesky assistants just to get a breath of air! You'd think I was supposed to stay in that stuffy office all day!" An indignant snort revealed exactly what she thought of that idea. She had escaped through a convenient window not fifteen minutes before, desperate for some open space, and was now meandering lazily through the streets of Konoha. A sudden jingling sound caught her ears, but she paid it no mind. Just someone with some freshly earned money burning a hole in their pocket, she thought idly, not bothering to even look where she was going. Little did she know what was about to happen....

Daimon chuckled to himself, grinning to his lackeys. He couldn't believe this....some chump was wandering almost-aimlessly in HIS part of town, pockets jingling, DEMANDING to be lightened. The wannabe street-tough nodded in the direction of the scruffy looking youth, and made his way towards him, junior henchmen trailing behind. "Hey buddy!" Daimon waved slightly to the young man to draw his attention. Utsuro paused in his shuffling to divert his eyes to the speaker, wondering what they could want. "...y..yes?" The young oaf again could not believe his good fortune. This kid seemed as fierce as a titmouse! "Couldn't help but hear those heavy pockets of yours cryin' out. How about letting us lighten them a little for you?" Grinning, Daimon looked back to his companions, slipping his hands from his pockets. Utsuro sighed, and began to back away, not wanting any more trouble than had already found him. Stumbling backward as the urchins approached, his foot came to rest on a carelessly discarded plank of wood from one rebuilding effort or another. This, ordinarily, would go unnoticed, but this particular plank happened to sit on a small pothole in the road, the applied foot causing the opposite end to rise up and strike Daimon underneath the chin as he approached. "..g-gomen!! I did not.." Why you little!! Wiping the trickle of blood from his bit lip, the assailant shoved Utsuro squarely in the chest, sending him sprawling backwards. "I'm gonna give you such a pounding for that!"Tripping backwards over the overlarge cuffs of his pants, the poor young man fell over onto a pile of building supplies, head thudding back against the wall they were propped against. As darkness edged in on his field of vision, Utsuro could dimly feel his blood begin to boil. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Not a bad take for such a little worm!" Daimon happily proclaimed as he jingled the pocketfull of ryu freshly liberated from the clumsy boy. His silent cohorts chuckled, already dreaming of their share as the trio turned to leave. A low growl caused them to pause, however, and look back at the source. " You little pieces of trash..". The previously soft-spoken victim boldly, visciously stated as he rose to his feet, standing proudly and glaring at them with an intense fire behind his eyes. The urchins were stunned. "W..who are you?" This radical change in demeanor was incredibly unsettling for the trio, but the inquery only caused him to chuckle. " The first blazing star, burning brightest from Heaven.....Ore....Sanjou!!"A confident grin spread across his face as he struck a sentai-like pose, and then immediately charged towards his would-be muggers, fists ready to strike. Daimon screamed.

Miyoko acted in an instant. While she had been too far away to stop the attack, she reached the group before any further damage could be done. She reached Utsuro-kun first, who was giving a rather startling display of aggression. "Easy, now," she told him in her sultry voice, leaning in close to murmur in his ear, before taking him in a firm but gentle grip. With a simple, fluid movement, she turned him around and sent him off in the other direction, leaving her to deal with the three thugs. A properly placed kick and a lightning-quick palm to the diaphragm put what appeared to be the two lackeys on the ground. The leader, however, she would have to be more careful with, especially since he was the one holding the money. Crimson eyes blazing, the Jounin swept the mugger's legs out from under the rest of his body and pinned him roughly to the ground, one arm bent back in a rather uncomfortable position. He wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon. "Big mistake, love," she told him in a low voice as voluptuous as her figure. "No one gets away with behavior like that on my watch." ((OoC: Sorry if it stinks. I'm not the best writer in the world tonight.))

The sudden intrusion up his fight, especially one that hadn't even really started yet, was quite upsetting. This blow was softened, however, due to the fact that it was Miyoko doing the intruding. Nonetheless, Ichiyuumaihi protested. "Hey!! Those punks were mine!!"
Whirling back around, he was dismayed to find the fight already over, the ringleader of the little thugs pinned beneath her. Lucky bastard..
Leaning against a wall, Ichiyuu grumbled to himself while she dealt with the hooligans.

"So these guys were yours, eh?" Miyoko asked with a raised eyebrow, pausing only to give her prisoner's arm a rather painful wrench when he tried to throw her weight off. "Stay," she told him firmly, before shifting her attention back to Utsuro-kun. "Since when are you more aggressive since the average mouse? I was going to apologize for taking so long to get here, but if you would have rather let them just walk off with your money...."

"Pff! These little rats wouldn't have stood a chance against me...But now I've got nothing! ARGH!! My frustration is at a climax!!" Slamming his clenched fists into the wall behind him, rather sizeable dents were left. Stomping over to the pinned thug, Ichiyuu snatched the stolen ryu back and proceed to grab one of the henchmen by the back of his shirt and hurl him out of the alley.
"This is your fault!" Jabbing an accusational finger at Miyoko, he turned back around and threw the other one as well, much to the poor oaf's dismay. "I had the situation under control! Now what am I supposed to do about all this frustration?!"
What interaction she had had with the boy before was proof enough. Something was not right here. Everything from the way he carried himself, talked, even looked at her was drastically different from the previous day. It was almost as if he was a different person.

Miyoko said nothing to the oddly behaving Utsuro-kun, only got up, flagged down a passing Shinobi, and instructed him to take the three muggers and place them into Police custody at once. It was only then that her attention returned to the potential Academy Student. "Come with me," she said coldly, taking his wrist into an iron grip. She led him through the streets of Konoha, weaving in and around people. Any attempts to speak with her were met with silence, and her grip on his arm remained steadfast. It was only after they reached an empty training ground that she released the boy and fixed him with an icy glare. "If you want to beat out your frustrations," she said in a dangerously calm tone of voice, "you will learn to do so without destroying other people's property. I'll ensure that the owner of that building is properly compensated for the damage you've done. But now that we're here, why don't you take out your frustrations on me? I was, after all," she finished with a half-crazy grin, "the one who interrupted your fight, was I not?"

A similar grin crossed his face at her proposition, Ichiyuumaihi slipped the billowy shirt off of his shoulders, displaying the well-muscled and scarred physique the years of hard travel had garnered him.
"I was thinking the same thing, babe."

Miyoko said nothing, only slipped off her flak jacket, fully exposing the curvaceous figure hugged tightly by the bandages she wore as clothing. She gestured to him, her motion saying as clear as day, Come on, then.
I dare you.

To say that Ichiyuumaihi was not the most...strategic fighter in the world would be...well..a gross understatement, and this fact was made incredibly clear by the headlong charge he launched himself into at the curvaceous kunoichi, a wild grin on his face.
He was, however, a ferocious attacker, as his hands flew through the necissary signs to launch a distracting gout of flame at her from his mouth.

Two could play at that game. True, she had not been planning on using any Ninjutsu in this battle, but she would make it work to her favor. She always did. The red lacquer on her nails glinted in the sunlight as her hands flickered in seals of her own, calling into existance a swirling mass of flame in the shape of a huge butterfly. His own flame met hers in a fantastic shower of heat and sparks. Against his attack, it didn't take much chakra to maintain the integrity of her own jutsu. If all went as planned, the fire from his jutsu would actually feed hers, making it increase in both size and power. Smiling, she awaited the result.

It was an opening, to say the least, and he dove for it. Literally. Hoping the fiery display of sparks and flames had obscured her vision long enough, Ichiyuu threw himself into a low tackle underneath the burning apparition, wrapping his arms around her legs.

"What's this?" she asked, grinning dangerously. "Come to beg for mercy, have you?" With that, the figure that had been standing there dissolved into a cloud of crystalline butterflies, glowing red and reflecting the light of both the sun and their fiery counterpart while the real Miyoko watched from a safe distance. One thing her assailant had not counted on was that his dive would place him directly under the flaming monolith. It hovered lower and lower at Miyoko's unspoken command, just short of making direct contact, radiating its intense light and heat.

"d**n!! I HATE doubles!!" Risking the burns, he rolled out from underneath the blazing monarch and vaulted up to his feet.
"You wanna play hide and seek? Fine by me! Lets see if I can smoke you out! Maybe then you'll fight me face to face!!" And with that, the arrogant young man began spewing forth as much flame as his chakra levels could muster, provided he could do so uninterrupted.
