Umeko giggled raspily as the glasses slid onto, then down her small nose. she pushed them back up through the sleeve of the button down collared shirt that was much, much too big for her, then flopped her sleeve wildly as they fell again. They would stay up, she realized, trying again, if she tilted her head back, which really worked just fine. Umeko was small after all and had to look up at everyone.

The nearly six-year-old didn't really understand the game they were playing. The twins had tried several times to explain to her that they needed to get money for their Kunoichi Scout group and that adults had that money, and that adults needed to be coerced or traded for it but it had all made her head hurt. They'd taken pity on her eventually and just called it 'playing pretend', which had made a whole lot more sense and explained the strange things that the Twins did. She had been very interested in the way the big kids came and took missions from the black and white haired girls and spoke to them as the big ninja spoke to her mommy. She liked that, she liked that a lot.

So when they suggested a new game where Umeko could pretend to be like her mommy's secretary, who she adored, Umeko had been all for it. Thus the glasses, and the hair- which she also enjoyed, the ear scratches were amazing- and the clothing. They argued a little about if the shirt needed to be unbuttoned at the top- Megu didn't do that but their daddy's secretary did- but the twins won in the end because she couldn't button it back up. Then they changed their minds when she started to cry.

And so now Umeko sat, legs swinging from a repaired chair she'd had to climb into, and scribbled on her clipboard exactly as she had watched. She hoped there would be clients soon, whatever that was.

The chaotic hustle-bustle of the Susukino District was, for one kunoichi walking its streets, completed drowned out by the sound of the awkward silence that hung in the air like a bubble around her and the person walking next to her. The last time she'd seen him had been in Yuii's office that day, the day she showed up at Danii's door looking for a couch to crash on. She'd left an envelope at their apartment with enough money to cover the full rent for a month, the entirety of the bonus she'd been given for her service at the gates, with a note saying they would talk later. Since they'd been splitting the rent, she figured she'd bought herself a little less then two months before needing to talk to her boyfriend.

A solid plan, if he were still a medic. With the two of them in the same division, it had been a chore trying to make sure they didn't end up on the same missions, and near impossible to avoid running into each other in the assignment office at the Torre. And so occasionally, as they were today, the two would leave the office together under the pretense that they were actually going to talk and figure things out until one of them inevitably got cold feet and excused themselves to visit a shop or run back to the Torre for something they 'forgot' to deal with. Sighing, Rei wondered how long it would be this time before one of them broke, beginning to eye up the different wares and goings-on to craft her own back-up excuse.

That was when it hit her. The pins and needles sensation radiating from the mark beneath her collar bone, drawing her toward a certain presence. Her eyes flitted toward Maikeru, to see if he was getting the same sense. Well, of course he was. As the two finally approached the trio's makeshift set-up, she spotted her. "Well hey there Umeko. What are you girls… doing here?" She gave a smile and a little wave, hiding her concern as her grey eyes scanned the area, obviously looking for whatever adult was supposed to be looking over the Sennin's daughter.
