Kaoru looked at him. "Yes, I am," she said. "Is that a problem?" Why was Ryuu asking this? What did it matter really?

Ryuu sighed, placing his arms behind his head almost as a pillow. "Aw. I remember the good old days when I used to rough it out, too." He leaned forward and flicked her nose, winking. "But you don't have to work like that anymore, little missy." He leaned back again. "Yup! I'm ready to offer you an exclusive membership to a very important club!" He nearly shouted that out, not caring if anyone heard.

Kaoru looked at him closely. Somthing was off here....no one just handed out memberships to anything. "Uh-huh..." she said, playing along. "And why are you giving me this?"

Ryuu smirked. "Because you remind me of someone." He poked her above her chest. "Me!" He bent down, really close, whispering almost inaudibly. "And because there aren't that many ladies in Saro Tsubasa, now are there?" His eyes shone, knowing she'd recognize the name. He just hoped she wouldn't shout it out.

(You poked me in the chest and I'm a girl....ur a boob grabber....)
Kaoru looked evenly at Ryuu. She had an excelent poker face, she didn't even show a slight trace of surprise at the name of Saro Tsubasa. "Uh-huh," she said. "And I should join why...?"

"Because you'd be with an elite team, not just some tramps you happen to run into! You'd be doing real jobs! You'd be getting real pay! You could even train under a master, learn all there is to this world of theiving. Think about it: You, Kaoru, a member of the Sora Tsukasa, a master of the Sora Tsukasa." He leaned forward, his eyes vibrant and his hands on the table. "Just imagine it! Imagine how great it would be!"

Kaoru looked at him. "This sounds great," she said. "But there must be some kind of catch....there always is."

Ryuu laughed. "Catch? There's no catch!" He leaned in. "Of course, you will have to work and train under me for the first few weeks...." He smiled as the water returned with the Gyouza. "Good!" he shouted. "I'm famished!"

Kaoru sat silent for a few moments, looking at Ryuu. Finally she said "I accept....on one condition. If I want to leave, then I can, at any time."

"Auof couaurse! (Of Course)" Ryuu replied through a mouthful of gyouza. He grabbed his sake cup and washed it all down in one gulp. "It's not too complicated to leave. Just a few promises to take, and a few things to promise to forget." He waved his hand in front of him. "Really simple!"

"Then I accept your offer," said Kaoru, digging in to her gyouza. "What do we do first, Sensei?"

"Well, first we must train, deshi," he said to her, grabbing one of the dumplings between his chop sticks and dipping it into the sauce. He took a bite. "And what better place to train than a resteraunt? Remember, if you do well," he gestured to the sake and gyouza. "There'll be more of this to come." He motioned towards the waiter, a middle aged man that was slightly balding. "Okay, he're your first assignment. When stealing from somewhere, you need to know all you can about the obstacles that stand in your way. What you need to do is use any means, whether force or charm, to figure out this man's age, how long he's worked here, where he lives, his salary, and his least favorite food." Ryuu leaned back, watching his new deshi. "Go for it when you're ready."

Kaoru looked up at the waiter and then back at Ryuu. She stood up wordlessly, moving across the restaurant with a casual grace. "Hi," she drawled at the waiter, who looked astonished to have such a young girl giving him her attention. "So how long have you worked here?" she asked, moving slightly closer to him. He gulped. "Um... s-six years," he stuttered. "Oh really? Whats your name?" "I'm....I'm called Yutaro, ma'am." She looked into his eyes. "You have great eyes," she murmered. He was practically shaking with excitement now. "I love a man's eyes." She moved back to look at him better. "How old are you? 44? 45?" "45, ma'am." he replied. "I can do things for you, you know." murmered Kaoru. "I love a man like you." she traced her finger up his chin. "What do you get payed?" The man's eyes narrowed. "50 yen an hour," he said. "One last thing," said Kaoru. "What's your least favorite food?" Yutaro looked confused now. "Um...soba, I suppose," he said. "Thank you," said Kaoru, promptly walking away.

Ryuu shook his head, chuckling to himself at her antics. "Subtle, subtle, my dear," he said as she drew nearer. "But not subtle enough. That man, Yutaro, was it? He's bound to be suspicious of all of your questions." Ryuu shrugged. "I guess that's as good of a first run I'll ever see."
Smirking, Ryuu reached down for something under the table. "Now, in order to be a decent theif, you'll need to be able to disguise yourself." He pulled out a wad of clothing - men's clothing, complete with hakama, kimono, and gato. "Try the same thing, but from a male's perspective."

Kaoru looked at him. "There is no way I could have gotten that man to say anything to me if I was a man," she stated. "I refuse, because we already have the information we need, and there is no reason for us to continue."
