Kida heard a loud crack and then fluid seemed to fill her body. It was like this massage therapist was killing her slowly and painfully. But after each shooting pain when she'd seemingly break something relief would come. Kida had come here because her back had been tweeking lately, but now she wasn't so sure if it had been a good idea. "Uh... Excuse--me!!" The last word had left her on a gasp of pain. Mother fucker!!!
"Only a moment more."
That 'moment' turned out to be two moves that crippled Kida with ache. "God...! Damn...! ....Ahhhhh...." And then a brilliant wave of relaxation washed over her. "I don't know how you did that....but thanks." Kida sat up and rolled her neck. It felt fantastic. Wonderful. Slowly she redressed and paid the woman who was smiling expectantly.
Stepping out of the room Kida inhaled deeply. Serenity and relaxation was humming through her. Nothing could upset her right then.

Sasuke wandered the town streets after he ate his usually weekly lunch treat in Shi Wu. After eating, the dark-haired man usually took time wandering the streets in search for something he could take back with him to the mountains. Typically that something was food, sometimes buns and breads that would last for a few days or dried jerky-like meat. Today though, Sasuke was looking for something different. Maybe he could hit the foreign goods shop to see if there were some foreign foods that'll last him a while.
Sasuke tucked both his arms inside this loose sleeves as he walked, resting them on the waist belt. It made him look like he didn't have arms if not for one of his hands hanging out of the opening of his shirt. Sasuke kept his eyes glued on the ground and only looked up when he wanted to know if he should turn a street or not so he didn't see the woman he met a few days ago in the woods.

Kida quietly hummed to herself, barely audible to others passing as she left Tu Dien Anh feeling like she was walking on air. I need to make this a habit. The woman had said at the beginning of their session that she had had a lot of stress stored in her muscles. Hell, she'd even looked Kida over as if she were about to have a stroke at any second. But who's life wasn't at least a little hectic?
"Why do birds....suddenly appear... Hmn?" A person passing by caught her eye and Kida blinked. "Oh, hey, it's you." Despite their last meeting and how it had gone, Kida smiled at the guy. Huh. I should learn his name at least. "Hi."

Sasuke blinked and looked up. Considering he met so few people, Sasuke instantly recognized her and frowned. "Hey." He returned the greeting without much enthusiasm. For a moment, Sasuke thought what she wanted from him now, maybe a payback for the other day? But then the woman didn't seem to be aggressive. Her friendly aura unnerved him though being a suspicious person that he was.

"What are you doing down here?" It wasn't really any of her business and part of her didn't expect him to answer. Kida didn't know why, but for some reason the other day she had assumed that he lived on the mountain. Or in the dojo even. Of course it was perfectly reasonable to assume he lived down here and has simply been visiting the dojo like she had.
"Oh. Sorry 'bout the other day...Wasn't in a great mood." A poor excuse, but Kida didn't really mind at the moment. She felt too light hearted.

Sasuke only nodded in understanding. He didn't care about it really but it was nice that she did apologize. Of course, he wasn't in the best of moods at the time either so Sasuke said, "Same." Naturally, Sasuke started looking around if the little pest was around. Hopefully Kida would rein the little dragon in more than she did last time or Sasuke's fairly decent mood today would be destroyed.

She blinked. "If you're looking for Bec, he didn't come with me today." Kida chuckled. It was a good thing too, because if he had been Kida had the feeling he would have been bugging this guy again. "But that was really odd...he's never done that to a stranger before."
"Oh. I forgot to introduce myself. Kida." She gave an unnecessary wave. "Nice to meet you...well, better than before." she smirked.

Sasuke arched a brow and piped in, "You're awfully cheerful..." before returning his expression into a neutral one that most people find him wearing. His stance relaxed when Kida mentioned that her pet wasn't with her at the time and spared him the irritation.
And when she introduced herself, Sasuke nodded an acknowledgement. Her name sounded like that of someone from a foreign nation. "And you're in Kumo because...?" She didn't look like the type to enjoy an old town like Kumo due to her clothes and attitude.

"Those two things sprouted from the same reason, actually." Kida turned a little to motion to the massage place she'd just left. "I came down to Kumo because I heard this Tu Dien Anh was really good and my back was bugging me. Needless to say....they're really good." One could compare it to having a near death experience and then suddenly appreciating life all the more. In fact, Kida did, remembering how utterly painful it had been at first. Maybe that was why they got so many customers, they were seeking that near-death high.

"Oh..." Not knowing what other thing to say or do in reaction to what Kida just said, Sasuke merely looked at the shop and then back. He wasn't much for massages because he never needed one as far as he could remember.
"Good for you." He added as an after thought. Now what? Will he be stuck here longer than necessary. Sasuke didn't want another bicker with this woman because his day was going just fine but if she held him up for longer than he was comfortable with then he just might have to. Sasuke liked to stick to his daily schedule as much as he could.

"Err....thanks." I think. "What's your name anyway? So I have one to put with the face." Kida sort of doubted she would get it from a wanted poster or something like that. She also got the vibe that he didn't really want to be there and Kida didn't plan on holding him hostage for long than was necessary.

Did he forget to share his name again...? Sasuke admitted that he tends to do that sometimes except for when he really didn't want to give his name, something that happened often in Ianne's school a few years back. People there were crazy.
He thought for a moment and decided that he might as well. "My name is Sasuke."

"Sasuke." Kida repeated. Like everything else about him his name was oriental too. Not surprising really. "Well, nice to meet you, Sasuke." She had said it with some finality in her tone, implying that they might be at the end of their conversation. If he really wanted to leave, he could take the opportunity. Kida didn't think he really seemed like the chatting type.

Sasuke nodded but didn't reply another word, he just continued onto his agenda and disappeared into a crowd after a while.

Kida turned and watched Sasuke as he disappeared off into the crowd. At the very least they seemed to have fixed the rift that they had created upon their first meeting. And Kida thought that was good progress, definitely better than none at all. So she turned back to the way she had been going and headed for home.
--End--
