Peace at last...

Suzume went into the hot springs with a towel wrapped around her head. She left her clothes and her ryo back in the dressing room. Who cares if someone takes them? She'll just have to catch that thief. Her hearing was good enough to hear someone taking her stuff. Besides, she tied a pair of small bells to the pouch of ryo and her clothes, so anyone can hear if they're being taken. She stepped in the springs and closed her eyes as she relaxed.

"It's so peaceful... I should be doing this more often..."

A young girl who manged to slip from her kage with a clone would suddenly appear in a gust of wind. She would just stare at the girl in the spring, Ayame had been looking all over for this girl. Ayame finally caught up to her and was there to either offer her a place in her clan where she could grow stronger. Or the girl could simply come with her to her kage, who wanted to see her.

"Hm? Hi there, I know you're here so don't be too quiet... Heh, good thing that you're not one of those people who I don't like, and gee... you look so familiar."

Suzume turned around to face the girl, she did look familiar. The girl seemed to be quite in a rush. It was as if she was in trouble or something like that. It would be good to ask her about it.

"You seem to be in a rush... Got in trouble or something?"

Shaking her head she look at her smiling. It seem that she remember her from the day before, when she pass her up in a hunt for her. She didn't have much time she know that so she quickly got into her business. "Not really, I don't have much time before my kage notices I send a clone to you. I came to ask you something." She would go over and sit near the springs looking at her wondering if she would really accept her invitation into the miyuki clan.

"Go and ask, I don't mind."

She listened to her attentively as she kept on relaxing in the springs. So the girl was just a clone and she wanted to pass some kind of message to her... or something like that. It had to be a good one, or she mihgt just apoogize and refuse.

Ayame Miyuki would cough then grin. This was a very interesting girl and she was looking forward to having her in her clan. Through she didn't let her know of her name.

"The clan leader of the Miyuki clan wants you to join her family of the Miyuki. You'll be in the main branch, she finds you to be very strong, and wishes you to be in her clan. She'll give you a few days to think it over with before you let her know in the swamps 3 days from now. She'll find you there, oh yeah her name is Ayame Miyuki."

She would grin then motion good bye to her as she suddenly disappears with disepering as she whispers "Till you give me your answer, I shall be watching over you."

"Ayame Miyuki..."

Suzume closed her eyes and chuckled. It will take a lot of guts to ask her to join them. That girl also saw her strength. It might be useful and she might help. WHat might be in it for her? Well, she might make more money with more help. They might finish missions faster and get a lot of bounty and rewards.

"Heh, interesting... The swamp it is..."

"I think I'm done..."

Suzume got out of the springs and dried herself off with her towel. She put on her clothes and tied her pouch of money to her waist. Her meeting was in three days and she had a special plan in her mind. An organization will be eminent... now the only thing that she needed was a name and a good purpose.
