>>5178064You find Shikadai and Hoki both on the floor, clearly out cold. Sitting at the edge of one of the three beds is a kunoichi wearing a red sweater of sorts with no sleeves and a high neck - a young blonde woman several years your senior who flashes you a grin filled with pointed, shark-like teeth.
"Hey there Shiki-kun, it's been a while!"
Her grin gives way to a slight frown when your hand doesn't leave the hilt of your sword. "Have we met?"
The kunoichi cocks her head slightly in confusion. "Do you really not recognize me?"
It takes a few more seconds, before it slowly dawn's on you. "Buntan-senpai?"
"Jeez, it must've been a long time," she scoffs. "Way to make a girl feel old."
"In my defense," you protest, "it was six months when I was like four years old... and you were basically a little kid yourself."
"True, I suppose," Buntan admits. "I hear you've been training hard since then... that's good, you're probably going to need it here."
>Why all the cloak and dagger stuff? You could've just met me at the lobby.>I assume this has to do with the incidents earlier today? Who even are these people?>I trust you made sure that you weren't followed here? I don't want any more trouble today.>Other?
