[Sarutobi Sasuke Plus Stalker!] totallynottalon May 6 2011, 16:30:11 UTC
[Since he sort of has to be here due to some rule or whatever, Sasuke is mellowing out and lounged on the ground, back against a tree somewhere relatively close to the Watch's training area. While choosing to appear nonchalant, he's fairly attentive in a subtle way. Needs to see what caliber of people are serving DOGS.]

[See, it's completely by accident that she just happens to be in the same area. Just a total coincidence that she's wandering in his general direction. Absolute stroke of luck that she would find herself standing by his relaxed form with her hands on her hips and a grin spread across her lips. No point in really trying to be sneaky, though...]

Hey! Don't get lazy on me now.

[Can't say he's surprised to see her. What with, well. Sort of planning on this. He could always count on Yuffie to stalk and pester him relentlessly.

...And be demanding. He makes a show of stretching and yawning languidly, folding his arms behind his head.]

Mm? [He blinks mock-sleepily.] Yare yare, don't you know how early it is, Kisaragi? [But then it's always too early for her antics.]

[The corner of her smile twitches as she begins tapping her foot impatiently. So he was going to be like that.]

You think this is early? [She snorts at him, lifting her chin and crossing her arms over her chest.]

Looks like I'm really going to have to train you to be a better ninja. Guess I was giving you too much credit...

[He chuckles quietly. Alright, so maybe he can begin to get use to her... eccentricities. But hopefully Yuffie starts showing some redeeming qualities beyond ego and bossiness.]

Alright, alright... [Quite nimbly, he kips up onto his feet and scratches at his cheek.] No need to be mean about it.

Besides, I'm a much better shinobi than you. [Smiling. No harm in teasing her first.]

[Her head tilts to the side a little as she regards him with a somewhat curious look.] Better? [She scoffs and finally turns her back on him, shaking her head with a slight 'tsk' sound.]

There's no way you can be better, you haven't even shown any abilities other than lots of talking about nothing. [She throws a glance over her shoulder at him.]

I'm just settling with you because I haven't found anything better yet. [So says all her desperate attempts in order to force him into a partnership with her...]

[Sasuke pulls a face once Yuffie turns her back on him and raises a hand, making the "blah-blah-blah" gesture sarcastically. Clearly, he is going to have to make it his mission to humble this girl just a little.

It will be a very long-term mission Very very. And he snaps his arm down quickly when she glances back at him.]

[He snorts quietly and muses aloud:] Hey kettle, you're black. [Who was she to accuse him of that, seriously?] But I do know what you mean. Yet... I can turn into the 'perfect Weapon'. What can you do? [He is genuinely curious by this stage.]

[Yuffie rolls her eyes (just a little dramatically) and sighs heavily.] Guess I'll just have to deal with it for now. [Despite the feigned disappointment, she still chuckles before finally facing him again.]

Who knows, maybe I can turn you into the perfect partner too. Then I won't have to go looking for something else.

[The usually sarcastic grin softens for a moment and Yuffie holds her hand out toward him.] But first, baby steps. We have to cooperate, like you said.

[Doesn't look like he's getting an answer on that score. Assuming she even heard what he said. But then maybe talking wasn't the way to get through to this girl.

Maybe.]

Whatever you say, Boss. [Was she being agreeable or- you know what, best not to question it. With a shrug, he slid his right arm out from its extended gauntlet and discarded it, to grasp her hand with his. He closed his eyes then and concentrated on transforming...

...and then nothing.]

[This was it, this was the moment of truth! The moment in which Yuffie can finally have a Weapon of her own and actually use it for once! Kind of. Well, practice first...

Except maybe not. She managed to watch in silence for all of three seconds before her blank stare fell to their joined hands then back up.]

What happened to the poof? [Such a way with words.]

...Er. [He opens one eye then and tries to conceal his befuddlement. That uh... should have worked...]

Cut me some slack, would you? I haven't had to transform in more than a year. [Being a Weapon again is still a strange concept, and last time he'd only just learned how to do it!]

[He scratches at his cheek with his free hand idly and thinks aloud.] Yare yare, how'd I do it last time...?

[Talk about anti-climactic.

The surprised and mostly confused expression gives way to disbelief before finally settling with a pointed frown. It's not like he did it all on his own!]

Last time- [But she stops, because that would be giving him a warning. That ruins the whole effect, right?

At least there is no dress involved this time around as she tightens her hand in his and yanks hard before releasing, her arms up and thrown around him as she not so daintily nor gracefully collides into him.]

[Sasuke appears for the most part unconcerned by Yuffie's evident annoyance while he calmly tries to remember what he'd done the last time.]

I could've- oof! [He tensed instinctively at the sudden jerk and immediately shifted a hand in an attempt to ward her off before the brutal beating could begin. This time, at least, he was aware and prepared, and not preoccupied by thoughts of-]

...Uh. [With a blink of confusion- why is she hugging me? She was... meant to be annoyed. It might be significantly less confusing just now if it wasn't for the fact he thinks she had tried to attack him when they first met.]

[It only takes a second for Sasuke's expression to be replaced with a suggestive grin.] This isn't quite what I meant when I said we should "cooperate", Kisaragi-san... [Teasing.] But throwing yourself at me works too~

[Her eyes were squeezed shut in a sort of expectation for a giant plume of smoke, a flash of light, or something!

Except none of the above happens and she's more or less still clinging to the much softer, much warmer version of her Weapon. All that's left now, aside from disappointment, is the growing embarrassment given away by the bright shade of red across her cheeks as wide eyes blink at his chest for another second.]

... Oh. [No, wait, there were more words than that. She just has to sort them out properly.

Quickly lowering her head, Yuffie shoves away from him far enough to throw a punch at his shoulder.] Shut up! It worked last time, you're just not trying hard enough now! Excuse me for trying to help.

[He chuckles quietly, but doesn't avoid the punch. He kind of deserves it, and he winces slightly.] You're excused~ [Hum. Nonetheless, he is highly amused. It is kind of refreshing to see the girl wrong-footed, actually.

But he really ought to quit giving her a hard time. They do need to try to resonate, after all, so maybe it's better he doesn't rile her up too much. Heaving a tolerant sigh, he clasps his hand about her wrist, and then quite carefully but decisively takes hold of her other hand.]

Here- [No more delays. He may or may not have been holding off a little on purpose, but this time Sasuke finally proceeds to successfully transform. He disappears in a flash of light, only to be replaced by his signature dual shuriken within Yuffie's grasp.]

[Raising her head to glare at him, and it's the iciest someone of her stature can manage, Yuffie eventually settles with an irritated grunt. Yelling at him does no good, throwing a tantrum will just have him laughing at her, sometimes she feels like she just can't win!

She stiffens as he takes a hold of her, head turning away to avoid the light until the weight in her hands shifts and cools. A more familiar feel that, despite who it actually is, has become something of a comfort.]

Hmph, that's better. [A smirk as she turns the shuriken over, checking as if he might have changed since he left.] It'll take a little getting used to...
