Ino and Anko's Cabin
"Here." She viciously throws a notebook at me and I snatch it out of the air before it hits my face.
"Uh… thanks?" I hold up the notebook in confusion.
"You moron it's a collection of all the stuff I want!" She crosses her arms and starts to tap her foot in impatience at me. "Go on. Make them."
I crack open the notebook, correction sketchbook, and flip through a couple of pages. There are detail drawing and descriptions of each outfit. Yeah I'm totally at a loss. The hell is a camisole? Or a cardigan? There's a difference between a jacket and a coat? What? I think that one is maybe a dress? But there's only one shoulder strap, is that a thing people wear?
"Okay yeah so it's the Weavers that need this." I snap it shut and give it a little dramatic wave. "How are you with giant spiders?"
"Probably okay?" Ino squeaks out. "How big are we talking? The size of a dinner plate?"
"No, the size of a full grown bulldog." I bluntly tell her. "She also wears a purple scarf if that matters."
"Do… do you have to summon her?" Ino whines. "I'd rather not."
"At least you're honest." I sigh out. "If you want them made correctly then you two should sit down and have a powwow about all the stuff you want. Plus Murasakino can get your measurements and what not so that the clothes fit better. I did promise tailored and I will deliver it."
"Well… I suppose that's okay." Ino reluctantly admits. "Can you just be between me and her at first? Until I adjust? It would make me feel more comfortable."
"Fine. Thanks for not making it into a big deal, usually people freak the fuck out." I take two steps away from Ino and while facing away from her I summon Murasakino.
"Summoner?" Her familiar scratchy voice calls out to me. "Oh hello! I've never met one of his friends before! She is your friend right?"
"Yes she is. Ino meet Murasakino. Murasakino, meet Ino. She's going to be your new model." I blandly say to the two females.
Ino pokes her head over my shoulder and gives Murasakino a little wave. She's taking this much better than I thought she would. Probably because she dealt with Keji before.
"You… you got us a model?" Murasakino asks in confused surprise.
"That's not going to be a problem is it?" I hope not. "I did kinda promise her I could get her excellent clothes so she would stop blackmailing me."
"No no think nothing of the sort!" Murasakino scrambles to assure me it's okay. "We'd love to work with one of your friends! Step out from behind him dearie I'm not going to bite. I want to see what we're working with."
Ino hesitates for just a moment then she steps out from behind me. "Hello. Thank you for doing this for me, I truly appreciate it."
"She's gorgeous!" Murasakino happily says. "Summoner where did you find us such a beautiful model?"
Ino flushes pink under the praise and plays with the hem of her skirt in happy embarrassment. "Oh please, there's no need to be so bold!"
"She found me." I answer Murasakino. "Then blackmail happened. Now you're here to get me out of it. Fair warning she's got a lot of stuff for everyone to do."
"Well come on dearie! Sounds like I've got my work cut out for me, let's talk shop." Murasakino hops up onto a bed - pretty sure that one is Anko's but hey not my problem - and pats a spot next to her with one of her many legs. "What all do you want?"
Ino snatches the sketchbook out of my hands and eagerly plops down next to Murasakino. "For starters all of these. I've been keeping this with me for years now, whenever I see someone wearing something I like I'll sketch it down in here and add notes. I've even tweaked a few to how I personally would want them to look."
"Oh Kami she said for starters." I groan out as I collapse onto the other bed.
"You have other ideas to use? Ones that aren't in this sketchbook?" Murasakino eagerly asks.
"Yes! I've got plenty of ideas and images in my head that I haven't put in here yet." Ino easily confirms. "You're the expert here, I'm just a girl dreaming about what she wants. If there's something wrong with these designs let me know and we can tweak them."
"True some of these are a bit intricate but there's nothing in here that we can't make!" Murasakino turns all eight of her beady black eyes onto Ino. "Say, deary, is this all you want or can we make more for you? There's a whole bunch of us back at the Nest and we all like to make our own ideas too. Plus we rarely get to work with a model, not to mention one as pretty as you! It'll be so much fun!"
"Of course that's fine! A collaboration effort is much better than a single mind, I'm sure they'll think of things I never would have! I'll gladly accept whatever you decide to make me!" Ino has stars in her eyes and she's drooling at the prospect.
"I've created a monster." I say to myself while watching them both dissolve into giggles about clothes.
...
Anko is casually strolling around the ship. First she went to get something to eat, maybe tormented a few people, bothered Kakashi about whatever puppet man meant, and now she's bored.
And tired, she's heading back to her cabin for a nap.
She's about to open the door when a noise stops her. It's coming from inside her room and she knows exactly what it is. It's Ino's voice.
"Yes!" Ino passionately shouts.
"Keep it down!" Alvarcus hisses back to her. "People are going to hear you."
"But - but it's just so good!" Ino whines.
"That doesn't make it okay to yell! I don't particularly want people to know about this, they'd never leave me alone."
"But Alvarcus what if I want more?" Ino whines and Anko can visualize the cute pout on her face. "It has to be you! You're amazing!"
"I know I am." Alvarcus has smugness bleeding off of his words. "But I don't do this for just anyone. You're a special case."
'They're boinking. They're totally boinking.' Anko lecherously grins to herself. 'And Ino loves it.'
"Alvarcus!" Ino whines out yet again. "You can't do this to me! You've shown me so much you can't take it all away now! I won't stand for it!"
"Ino you don't get a choice. This will only happen if I let it happen, this one time is a unique instance. I don't care how much you enjoyed it."
'They're figuring out who wears the pants in their relationship.' Anko draws a conclusion. 'It's in this moment that they figure out who is the alpha. My money's on Alvarcus, when his eyes are set on a goal almost nothing will stop him from completing it. And now that goal is Ino. This is so good! I get to hear the pivotal point in their relationship! YES! Ino remember everything I've taught you!'
"Alvarcus Mar you will let me do this whenever I want to!" Ino demands, she's asserting her authority.
"Ino Yamanaka do not mistake my kindness for weakness." Alvarcus growls out wielding much more authority than Ino ever could. "I allowed this to happen because you mean something to me. You do not hold the key to this, I do. It is by my will, my actions that I let this happen. I do not have to show you this kindness. Do not abuse the amount I have already shown you."
'Alvarcus won.' Anko smirked to herself. 'I bet he has her pinned up against a wall and everything, ready to claim her as his! Oh I've got to see this, it's too good to pass up!'
Anko tightly grips the doorknob and yanks the door open so quickly it's a miracle she didn't rip it off its hinges.
"COME ON! THIS IS BULLSHIT!" Anko shouts at the two fully clothed teens.
Alvarcus is casually lounging on one of the beds while Ino is sitting on the other with a giant spider next to her. They're both intently poring over a sketchbook.
Or they were, Anko's outburst drew all three of their attention to herself.
"If you're here for clothes too you can fuck off." Alvarcus growls in anger an Anko. "I'm already regretting doing this for Ino."
"It would be nice to have more than one model." Murasakino eyes Anko up and down. "She'd do nicely."
"OI!" Ino lightly tugs on one of the spider's legs. "Me first, once we're done you can move onto her. We're barely halfway through."
"GAH!" Anko throws her arms up in angry defeat and storms out of the room. 'How does this keep happening!? What do I have to do to get them to fuck each other already! This beating around the bush shit is pissing me off! They're alone in a room with beds and they're not screwing each other senseless? They're teenagers! How are they showing such restraint?'
Anko continues to storm down the hallway of the ship.
'Before this trip is over it's happening. I'm going to do everything in my power to make it happen. They're just too cute together to let this opportunity slip away.'
