Chapter 15: Ringo Ameyuri 1

I approached Ringo's location and hid in the foliage nearby. She was on a training ground near the village. It was a small clearing filled with grass, on one side was a foliage where I was currently hiding and another side of the clearing ended with a crystal clear lake. The lake was twinkling like a thousand diamonds and in front of it, petite redhead beauty was doing a sword dance. The more I saw her train, the more I pitied the girl. She tried so damn hard but her body must be screaming in pain at her by now…

"Heee, come out." She finished her 'dance' and called me out as she breathed hard.

"Hmm, as expected from the best tracker of Kiri." I complimented her.

She just rolled her eyes but chuckled savagely. "You just suck at hiding. Foliage? Really?" She threw me an incredulous look.

Well, what can I say… A twinge of red appeared on my cheeks.

"Spying though. Now, that is something you are good at, right? I sensed someone observing me since I left the arena. Couldn't find out who though. That never happened to me. So, are you here to fight for Kiba?" She raised her eyebrow and smirked in anticipation. "You will have to kill me to get it."

Her smirk widened into a blood-thirsting grin and I sensed her muscles tightening in preparation of a fight. Geez, what a feral animal. I had to do something.

"Not really." I drawled. "Just visiting Kiri and seeing you in the arena…" As I told her that she got more on guard because I was a 'foreigner' but relaxed her body completely because she took my proclamation as trying to avoid fighting her.

"Hee a fan, then." From her body language it was obvious she doesn't care for fans though. "That's ne…"

That's when I attacked her. She was distracted enough and didn't expect a fight. There were also at least twenty meters between us and her body was completely relaxed. She could be prepared for a fight in a second but didn't think I would be able to cross the distance without giving her enough time.

But I had Lightning Release: Chakra Mode. The only reaction she managed to do was widening of her beautiful ambers before I slapped tags with seals onto her forehead.

Her body became completely paralyzed and her chakra was restrained. I had to catch her falling body and gently lay her onto the ground. I sat down next to her and waited, patting her smugly on the head.

It took her a few seconds to get out of shock. Her reaction? She started to laugh her ass off.

"Hah, this is the second time in life I was surprised like this. First, that green squirt genin from Konoha kills more than half of my coworkers with pure taijutsu and now some kid actually gets me with Lightning Chakra Armor! The world is getting really crazy!" Well, I guess she doesn't really care anymore. "Thanks for the entertainment, kid." She said genuinely.

Seeing her try to counter the paralysis with chakra I scolded her.

"Trying to break free with your chakra is useless. I had to modify the chakra restraining seal to not kill you off when applying it. Your body is already beyond redemption. You are only alive thanks to your strong chakra. Don't waste it when you can't control it because of the seal."

"Hmm, so you want me alive, then? Heh, wanna have a go with the only female member of the seven then? Go on, fuck me. You deserve it."

"Not really. I came to propose a one-sided deal." I stared at her bright amber eyes sincerely.

"How one-sided?" A teensy bit of curiosity seeped into her voice. After all, what can a dead woman want, right?

"I want you to become mine." I told her bluntly.

"Yours." Ringo started to chuckle. "Boy. You can do anything with me now and I won't be able to fight you. I am pretty much yours already."

"I want you to be mine forever. Not only sample your body."

I told her as my smug pats changed to gentle caresses.

"I am already a walking corpse." She rolled her eyes. "Just fuck me and burry my body somewhere after you are done. We both know I would probably get a stroke during sex."

"I have a seal that can save your life."

Now that made her stop laughing and pierce me with an unnerving gaze.

"Go on."

"The seal will basically strengthen your chakra at first, making your body last longer. Then it will continue strengthening it until you get into a stage where your body will be strong enough to deal with the illness." I slowly told her the simplified version of the explanation. "At this point, even Tsunade wouldn't be able to save your life. I also can't cure you. I can only make your body strong enough to help itself."

I finished explaining and waited for her reply. She was obviously mulling over it in her head. After about ten minutes she looked at me.

"The catch?"

"Yup. The catch. The seal is very precious to me. I will never give you one without applying a loyalty seal alongside it. I will also expect you to come with me to Kaminari no Kuni."

"Hmm, so you want to make me into your personal fuck-toy for life?" She asked in an incredulous tone but bemused beyond belief.

"I won't rape you. Don't really need sex unless it's consensual. Also, the loyalty seal only prevents you from betraying me or babbling my secrets out. Other than that, you will not be affected in any way." As I said that I unconsciously started to pat her head again.

"What makes you so sure I won't get the seal and run away?"

"Your personality, Ringo."

She may not be able to move her facial muscle, but the pout was SO visible in her eyes. Hehe.

"Okay, so, if I decide to defect. Do you expect me to bring Kiba with me? Or do you want me to acquire some secrets of Mizukage before I defect? Maybe steal all of the seven swords..." She trailed off.

Aha. So, now she is probing my intentions.

"I could just kill you now and take Kiba if I wanted it." I asked with 'really?' tone. "Also I am more interested in you than these things." I told her sincerely and her face reddened. Cute…

"You can leave Kiba in Kiri if you want. Although we both know you won't do that. You feel they belong to you and like them. Girl, we both know you are protective of things you like." I smirked. Ha. As if. These swords are probably more important than her life at this point to her.

"Yes, we both know I won't do that." She tried to stop blushing. "And stop patting my head!" And shouted at me in embarrassment veiled in annoyance.

"Oh…" Hmm, didn't even notice I am patting her. But did I stop? No, the woman was too adorable with a pout for that.

"Okay, I accept." She bluntly told me. Well, this was easier than I initially thought.

I spent the next hour applying the Loyalty and Chakra Enriching Seals on her. The Chakra Enriching Seal repainted into the black rose was located on her right shoulder. When I finished I disabled the Chakra Disrupting and Paralysis Seals. The second I did that her arm coated in the lightning shot at my throat.
