Jun: *shifting about in his seat, staring around the shop with wide eyes as he fidgets*

Kurai: *pointedly* You know, if you keep worrying about this, then you're going to make it harder to talk than it will already be.

Jun: *mutters something about hallucinations not allowed to be logical and ignores him as he continues to fidget and stare at the shop entrance, folding and unfolding a napkin on the table*

Scar: *ducking into the shop, casts a glance behind her, eyes narrowing as she wonders if that shadow she felt tailing her is actually anything of consequence* *eventually shrugs, fixing the collar of her shirt as she walks further into the shop, feeling somewhat out of place due to her rarely ever getting use out of her casual clothes* *looks up briefly, intending to see if Ari and Violet were already waiting for her; stops mid-step, catching sight of Jun* ...I really might murder Arianna the next time I see her...

Jun: *scrambles to his feet the moment he sees her, startled as his quick action knocks over his chair* ... ... *blinks a few times, staring back at it* .... *picks it up, then looks back to Scar and sheepishly rubs his neck* So... um... dinner, Scar-chan?

Scar: *silent, as she's rather dumbfounded by his behavior, seeing as a flustered Jun in an unfamiliar Jun* ...You've resorted to conspiring with my sisters, I see. *stares at him a moment longer, then simply pads over to a vacant chair, dropping stiffly into her seat* *dryly* If you're that desperate, I may as well reward you by staying for a spell.

Jun: *relieved, returns to his seat with a grin* *honestly nervous only because while he plans on apologizing as Ari suggested, he's not all that sure it will work and isn't show what he would do if it backfired again* Thanks, and you wouldn't believe how hard it was to conspire with them. *grasping onto a topic other than the one that's the focus of this whole thing* I took a beating beforehand, Ari-chan packs a punch. *what he hopes comes off as an amused grin*

Scar: *unperturbed, as once she'd calmed down Hibiki had explained where Ari had run off to, and she could only imagine how the encounter between Ari and Jun went* *crossing her legs, leans an elbow on the tabletop, her chin propped up in her hand* Her specialty is her taijutsu, it's only expected she'd have power behind her fists, especially where you're concerned, seeing as you lack any barrier of muscle that would act as a cushion..

Jun: *brightens slightly that she at least seems slightly normal, relaxing a bit as well* That's true. Well, it worked out, I managed to keep from getting dropped off the roof. *beams* So, are you hungry?

Scar: *internally rolls her eyes, not very interested in why Jun was in the position of being dropped from a roof* Not particularly; I came here thinking Ari, Violet and I could have something of a familial chat without our sensei acting as a distraction. I've been meaning to speak with them about something and I thought tonight would provide me with the opportunity. *turns her flat expression on Jun, lifting a brow* It seems that plan will have to be put on hold.

Jun: *squirms slightly in his seat at the excuse to keep from approaching the matter he needs to being shot down so easily, also a bit guilty over tricking her to be honest, which is a strange feeling for him* Well, um, sorry to disappoint. *sheepish grin this time* You just got me, instead.

Scar: *exhaling shortly through her nose, turns her cheek into her palm so that her mouth is completely uncovered* Jun, if you went to the trouble of getting me here, I highly doubt you really had dinner as your motivation. If you wouldn't mind, skip to the point.

Jun: *just squirms more, shooting a helpless look to Kurai who shrugs, looking all too amused* *sighs, shifts in his seat, then focuses on Scar again* I, uh, thought I'd try this apology thing again. *pauses, then quickly adds on* The right way, this time.

Scar: *mouth tightening, curls her fingers against her cheek, flicking her gaze between Jun and the spot where he looked to see Kurai* It wasn't as though your previous apology was unsatisfactory; you were sincere in wanting me to forgive you. But, as I said before, wanting my forgiveness won't change anything with you as you are.

Jun: *instantly, as if her response unlocked the words swirling about in his head* Yeah, but I- well, I can try. *his words running together seeing as he's honestly not good at this sincere trying to be open thing and it's doing nothing for his nerves as he's never running things unprepared* I mean, try to not... I mean, allow help and all, and that.... that's better, right? *his expression just... honestly sort of pathetic* You won't get mad and leave again, right? And, don't go away and cry on your own, either. *yeah, his thoughts jumbling* I mean, you weren't on your own, but it wasn't... *just trails off, ducking his head* ... that sounded so much better in my head, promise.

Scar: *dryly* I'm sure it did. *closes her eyes, not wanting him to see the irritation she's well aware will be present in her gaze; rather annoyed he knows of her break down, though more annoyed with herself for allowing herself to fall apart as she did, in front of Hibiki no less* ...May I speak to Kurai for a moment? I'm afraid you'll really have to act as a mouthpiece, but it's something I'm rather insistent about.

Jun: *blanches, not having expected that at all, especially as no one has ever been interested in his other-half, even if they knew of it's existence, after-all it's to be expected with his bloodline limit that there's another personality in existence* I...

Kurai: *having almost fallen off the table he was on when Jun was stumbling over himself, having cracked up laughing* *pauses at Scar's words, cocking his head as curiosity appears and he lightly kicks his feet back and forth over the edge of the table* That sounds like fun.

Jun: *frowns*

Kurai: *shrugs* What, should I lie and say I'm just dying to talk with her for any other reason? She's neat, but I"m not. So... fun it is. C'mon, let's do it. *a gleam in his crimson eyes*

Jun: ... he says alright.

Scar: *smiles thinly* Lovely. *glancing at the space she's assumed Kurai occupies currently, her habitual manners dictating that she should at least try to make eye contact while speaking with someone* I have one question that's been plaguing me since I became aware of your existence. What, exactly, do you want from Jun-san?

Jun: *flinches slightly at the fact she's still being formal with his name*

Kurai: *continues kicking his legs back and forth as he glances between her and Jun for a moment, his curiousity peaked* Hey, if I answer that, will you really give her what I say?

Jun: *frowns at him again* ... I'll try.

Kurai: *rolls his eyes* Boring answer. Fine, let's see... *purses his lips dramatically, turning his eyes to the ceiling* My desires... my villainous dreams... my evil w-

Jun: *eye twitch, Kurai always able to get under his skin* Get on with it. *snaps*

Kurai: *grins* Well, I guess you could say, there's a few things. I don't exist without him, so I guess I want existence from him. That's pretty deep, huh? Whatcha-

Jun: *sighs and focuses on her* You'll have to wait for him to get through all of his dramatics to get the full answer. He's a child, it's weird, but he is and he has the annoying tendency to show it through being difficult.

Kurai: *sticks his tongue out* Fine. *draws out the word* Not just existence, but a life. It'll be my turn eventually, just waiting for him to give it to me.

Jun: ... *purses his lips* ... existence and life, he says. *slowly, turning over exactly what to say*

Scar: Expected, I suppose, knowing he's a persona only brought to life by your own existence. However, would you please give me his exact words, Jun-san? Everything, not simply the condensed version you seem keen to think I'll accept. *still smiling, rather frostily if she's being honest, though the expression isn't clearly directed towards either Jun or Kurai*

Jun: *throws a mutinous look at Kurai who's grinning at her words* Don't look so smug. *mutters, then focuses once more* Sorry... I was going to, I just... *stops talking, aware that explaining that filtering out the bad parts so she doesn't worry is what he really wants to do isn't going to help at all and settles for rattling of Kurai's words*

Scar: *quiet for a moment, her expression shadowed* *breathes out slowly, her gaze dropping to the tablecloth she's currently bunching up, the gesture unconscious and previously unknown to her* ...To be honest, I'd already guessed as much; I do know something of your bloodline, as I mentioned in the hospital. Hearing it from your - or Kurai's, I suppose - lips clearly puts things into perspective for me, though. *glancing up at where she supposes Kurai is* I'd thank you for your honesty, but from Jun's description of you, I would say you're rather enjoying yourself with all this.

Kurai: *laughs, slipping down from his perch to step forward and prop his arms up on the table and put his chin on them, rather amused at the idea of being so close without her knowing* You'd be right. *agrees cheerily* It's fun to watch.

Jun: ... *uncomfortably repeats Kurai's comment, adding his own on at the end* That's his reasoning for a lot of things, so... it makes sense to me.

Scar: *hums agreeably* If you really are in the likeness of a child, it's understandable. Ari was much the same way when she was younger, doing things on a whim and refusing anything that seemed dull to her. *rolling her eyes to Jun briefly, returns them to where she saw Jun's eyes flick while he was reciting Kurai's words for her* If your aim to inhabit Jun's body without having to share, that would at least imply you intend to keep him physically safe, no?

Kurai: *cocks his head* Of course! Why else would I protect him? It's not like he applauds me for it.

Jun: *irritably* That's because you're version of protection is lethal to others.

Kurai: *shrugs* So? It works.

Jun: *silent for a moment before forcing himself ot repeat Kurai once more*

Scar: ...Can I be led to assume that whenever Jun exhibits his... more violent tendencies, that's you protecting his body? Or is any of that his own doing?

Kurai: *muses over his answer, tapping his foot as he does* The first, mostly. I can think of a few fun times where I've gotten to do whatever I liked. Like that one time at the exams... *eyes light up* That was fun.

Jun: ... that was a bloodbath and you scared Tenten-chan.

Kurai: *shrugs this off as unimportant* So, not like you saw it. Anyways, it's me sometimes. When it's emotion related, it's mostly him. The bloodline limit is in this body, after-all. He has as much control over it as I do. *pauses, then laughs* Well, no, not really. He sucks at that part. He needs me for that.

Jun: *annoyed, but repeats it, barely keeping his hands from forming fists at the table as these are the things he feels uncomfortable about anyone knowing and also the reason he gets scared, things like that black-out after Kabuto broke the seal*

Scar: *covering her mouth for a moment, mumbles something against her palm, rather disappointed to find out it wasn't all Kurai's doing, as that would mean Jun's in a worse position than she initially thought* ...I have to say, I'm pleased I asked for this; Kurai's pleasantly more honest than you, Jun-san. *pauses, then adds* Could you teach him to control himself? Are you already teaching him?

Jun: *flinches once more*

Kurai: *grins* Of course I'm honest, I'm not a scaredy-cat like Jun. If you don't like me, I don't really care. It's fun to see people's reactions to me. *pauses, then focuses on her question* Nope and nope! Not a chance! *grins* Sorry~ *sticks out his tongue for good measure*

Jun: ... I'm not a scaredy-cat.

Kurai: Are too!

Jun: *yeah, get's drawn into these arguments that easily* I"m not!

Kurai: *laughing* Are too, are too, are too! Otherwise we wouldn't even be here!

Jun: ... not. *mumbles rebelliously, before slowly repeating Kurai's response*

Scar: *blinks in honest surprise* I never said I disliked you. You're a part of Jun-san, after all, and more than that, you protect him - even if your methods' ethics can be called into question. *frowns slightly, the corners of her mouth sinking* Still, that is disheartening to hear. Cohabitation is a must, I see, for now, in any case. Though I will say Jun may treat you more nicely if your stubborn streak didn't match his own.

Kurai: *stares at her for a moment, then looks to Jun and without before he says anything, scrambles up onto the table somehow so he can squat down and stare curiously at Scarlette from an even closer angle* Hey, she's weird, you know that?

Jun: ... get off the table.

Kurai: *ignores him, leaning close* Hey, Jun-kun, shouldn't she not like me since I want you to go away and since I wouldn't be afraid to hurt her?

Jun: *just waits for Kurai to continue as he knows the kid's not done*

Kurai: People always dislike me when I'm honest, you know.

Jun: *pointedly* No one else talks to you besides me and now her.

Kurai: *shrugs* So? Actions speak too, right? I'm honest then.

Jun: ... get to the point, Kurai.

Kurai: Oh, right, she said something, huh. *focuses completely on her again, then purses his lips thoughtfully* Hm....

Jun: Kurai, focus.

Kurai: *blinks* Oh, right. Well, I'm not sharing anyways. If I shared everything, things would work out for him, right?

Jun: *sighs and repeats the answer*

Scar: *silent throughout their exchange, finally leans back in her chair, as going by Jun's line of sight Kurai can't be very far away from her* As my sister would say - quite naively, might I add - sharing is caring. But if you're that against helping Jun-san beyond what you do now, I suppose nothing I say will persuade you. A shame, too; I assumed I might be able to speak with you more if you and Jun-san were on better terms.

Kurai: *blink a few times* As tempting as that is, Jun-kun can't have everything work out for him. *simply, getting distracted again as he considers something before spinning around and grinning at Jun* Jun-kun, Jun-kun, I wanna make her see me, that reaction should be fun! Can I, pleaaase? See, I even asked nicely.

Jun: *sighs*

Kurai: No-go? Damn. *pouts, poking at Jun's mental wall to see if he can get around that*

Jun: *purses his lips as a headache begins to threaten in response*

Kurai: *pouts some more, but focuses on Scar* Ain't no better terms when I want him to disappear. *simply*

Jun: *blinks a few times, although he supposes that answer is one that could be guessed and repeats it*

Scar: *her lips curling into an unpleasant smile, folds her hands together in front of her, resting her mouth against her knuckles* Worth a shot, though I can't say I'm surprised. I wasn't lying, though; I wouldn't mind getting to know you better, Kurai - for me, it would be the same as getting to understand another facet of Jun-san's personality. And an interesting one at that.

Kurai: *jumps on the table, although there's no reaction seeing as he doesn't really exist outside of Jun's mind* Jun-kun~ *whines* I want to do it!

Jun: *irritably* No.

Kurai: *Pouts and shoves against the wall, causing the headache to sharpen into constant throb* I said please, so that's that. *much in the manner of a child's logic*

Jun: *grimaces* *to Scar* He's getting unreasonable. *simply, seeing as he's not about to let Kurai do whatever he wishes since Kurai's actions are unpredictable*

Scar: *blinks* Is there something he wants?

Jun: *hesitates* He's throwing a fit because I won't give him control. *simply* It's like... a temper tantrum. *pauses* He even stomped his foot.

Kurai: *sticks his tongue out* And? So what, I can do that, I'm a kid, remember?

Jun: *rolls his eyes*

Scar: *cheek twitches, a precursor to the amused smile she's currently biting back, as even though she understands the seriousness of Jun and Kurai's relationship, she finds their bickering to be humorous, from the snatches she can understand, anyway* So he really is a child. I count myself lucky I'm well-versed in handling children, then.

Kurai: See, she's interested! *stomps his foot again* So, let me show her! Now.

Jun: .. because ordering me to do something will make it happen so much faster.

Kurai: *annoyed, crossing his arms as he practically attacks the mental wall Jun has up against him*

Jun: *sharp pain in his head, resolve flickering for a moment, as long as Kurai needs to suddenly cast a genjutsu around the entire table, having been waiting for just that little slip up* *grins, leaning directly towards Scar, basically a few inches away* Tada! I win! *pleased with himself for casting a genjutsu that reflects himself*

Scar: *flinches back, her eyes widening* Shit...! *before her chair can topple over, clutches at the edge of the table, righting herself while passing a hand over her face, attempting to smooth over her startled expression* ...Was the theatrical element really necessary, Kurai?

Kurai: *grins, having decisively managed to lock Jun out of their conversation, although he doubts that will last long as this isn't a fight like when he usually manages to break through for a good amount of time* Completely! You should have seen your face, it was so awesome! *laughing at the thought* Perfect, exactly what I thought might happen!

Scar: *dryly* I'm so pleased my reaction was to your liking... *frowns, casting out her senses a bit to confirm that this really is a genjutsu she's been caught up in, rather surprised with the strength of the jutsu, it being one she herself couldn't hope to break free of at her current level* You've had your laughs, is there anything else you'd like before you return full control to Jun-san? *said matter of factly, as though there isn't question of if he'll do as she says, but when*

Kurai: *pouts, crossing his arm as he rocks back on his heels* So eager to get rid of me? *yeah, had no reason other than his own personal amusement at her reaction*

Scar: *tactfully, arching a brow* Not particularly, though I do admit the strain you're putting on Jun-san is a bit of a concern for me.

Kurai: *shrugs dismissively* He'll get over it. *grins* Although he might be really mad at me. *looks rather pleased with the thought, again, much in the manner of how a child enjoys managing to annoy someone older*

Scar: *sighs, brushing her troublesome bangs aside, obsidian eyes narrowed in conscious thought* As he should be. You're quite rude when you wish to be, Kurai. No wonder Jun-san had no desire to introduce us.

Kurai: *again in a dismissive manner* Jun-kun's a baby, he doesn't like introducing me to anyone. Anyways, who cares if I'm rude? *grins* I don't.

Scar: The similarities between you and a younger Ari worry me... *sits up, her expression flat again* That's problematic, Kurai. Children should adhere to the manners they've been taught. And I would prefer if your argument doesn't revolve around never being taught them yourself, as I"m sure you would have learned something while staying alongside Jun-san all these years.

Kurai: *blinks a few times, then laughs* You're pretty smart, huh? *moves on without pausing* Jun-kun learned them from books, does that count? *cocks his head*

Scar: While that's far from conventional, it does indeed count. Which would mean you have been exposed to the proper way to conduct yourself, especially while in the presence of someone who's your senior.

Kurai: *pointedly* But you're not really older than me, I've been *pauses, furrowing his brow to quickly remember the actual age he would be* eight forever! *actually not really aware of what he was before that time, as there wasn't as much of this sort of side in Jun before then* So... really we're the same age!

Scar: *as though this isn't important* Yet you've the mentality of an eight-year-old, therefore I'm treating you as such. Actually, I'm treating you with far more respect than a girl my age would normally treat a child, because I was raised to be polite. Manners are manners, Kurai, regardless of circumstances.

Kurai: I don't like them. *simply* So I don't use them, that's not gonna change. *yeah, there's that stubborn streak* *furrows his brow, then pouts* Jun-kun's gonna break it soon, so if you got any curious questions go ahead and ask. *grins* he hates it when I don't tell him what I do when I push him away.

Scar: ...I've only one more question, one I very much doubt Jun-san would allow me to hear the answer to. *draws in a deep breath, steeling her nerves* ...Do you have any actual idea of when it will be your turn, as you put it?

Kurai: *grin takes on that malicious edge that he rarely gets, but when he does it shows the emotion he's honestly made of* Oh, trust me Scar-chan *adopting Jun's name for her* you won't like that answer very much. *circles his hand since he's in complete control of the genjustu at least and suddenly there's a stack of blocks on the table, sort of like jenga* Jun-kun's breaking, you know. *pleased* Really quickly, too. *pushes a block out, making the stack wobble* He was almost killed by Jin-chan. *pushes another* He couldn't save Kazue-chan. I know that the next time... *shoves the final block, toppling his block tower as it fits his love for theatrics* Well, you understand, don't you? You're rather smart, Scar-chan. He's a mess already, he just needs a tipping point. *blinks, that childish exterior returning* Looks like Jun-kun's really mad! Our little secret, right? I'll keep my mouth shut! *snickers as the illusion shatters*

Jun: *swearing under his breath, a sweat broke out on his brow*

Scar: *thinking: That little bastard...* *recovering quickly, adopting her usual mask of composure, pushes away from the table and circles around to Jun, tilting his head back so as to get a better look at his face, her brow furrowed in concern* Are you alright, Jun? I'm afraid I was too curious, I should have asked him to break the genjutsu sooner...

Jun: *blinks, focusing on her as soon as she starts speaking* *shakes his head, that typical euphoria Kurai leaves behind to tempt like a drug wiping away the headache, although not the stress it took to break past him* No, don't apologize, Scar-chan. He wouldn't have done it. Trust me. *simply*

Scar: That may be so... *heaves another sigh, brushing aside the hair that's clung to his forehead from the sweat, a motherly air about her* Perhaps I shouldn't have asked for such an unreasonable request in the first place, but I felt as though it was my only opportunity to get a glimpse of what was really troubling you* *smiles, a bit sadly* I'll try to be more considerate in the future, Jun.

Jun: *blinks a few times, flushing red slightly at the touch despite himself, as he honestly rarely gets touched in any sort of affectionate manner and when he does, it's just a ruffle of the air or such* It's fine, honest, Scar-chan. *in a tone attempting to make it clear that he honestly believes what he's saying* He finds you interesting, perhaps likes you. *isn't that sure if Kurai's capable of it, bit if he is, knows that he does* He would have found a way, he always does. *simply* Don't apologize.

Scar: *has the same unpleasant thought that Ari did, wondering what it is about her that allows strange entities to find her amusing* Well... *at a bit of a loss, as she'd thought Kurai hadn't liked her much, going off their conversation thus far* He's interesting, I suppose, but I much prefer his other half. *smiles, dropping her hands from his brow*

Jun: *grins, a hopeful sort of expression covering up how anxious his question is* So, you're not upset at anymore?

Scar: Upset? No, I haven't been truly upset since I cried myself dry several days ago. *rolls her eyes, once again feeling irritated with herself for reacting so violently to what she thought of as Jun's own tantrum* Wary, though... that would be a better term. *pauses* Will you... honestly try to be more accepting of others' help, even if only a little?

Jun: *hesitates, then slowly nods* *simply* I don't like you upset... *corrects* wary, of me. I'll try.

Scar: *practically beams, or as close as she ever comes to mimicking her sisters' enthusiasm* Then that's more than enough for me, Jun. *blinks*Oh, I've already dropped the honorific. I hadn't even noticed.

Jun: *blinks a few times, then turns on one of those rare, brilliant smiles of his, the one that shocked Tenten when she said she could fix his bracelets and just moves so he can hug her* Thank-you, Scar- *breaks off, furrowing his brow, then just grinning and not finishing it seeing as even if it feels weird, her reaction might tell him how to react, as he doesn't address anyone without an honorific as it's one of those lines in the sand, he just did it that one time when they were talking to see her reaction to his teasing*

Scar: *pauses, mouth opening without sound, then furrows her brow, accepting his hug much easier than she did before* That reminds me... whatever happened to that bet of ours?

Jun: *blinks a few times, releasing the hug* *honestly* I'm not sure, but I think your sister's saw past it cause Ari-chan told me she thinks Hibiki-sensei has a chance. *blinks, having not thought that through before he said it, a rare thing for him, perhaps simply because he's just really happy not to be called "jun-san" again*

Scar: *however much control she may have over herself, unable to help herself as she flushes a rosy pink, instantly shoving away from Jun* ...She's back to her meddling... I thought I may have some peace from her infernal claim that Sensei and I have feelings for another, but that's... obviously too much to ask for...

Jun: *his face lights up* That's quite a reaction for not having feelings. *amused* Oh, and did you know he let you cuddle him while you were sleeping in his bed with him?

Scar: *having gone rather stiff at this information, as she'd honestly been under the assumption that she merely slept in the space beside Hibiki so as to keep her off the floor* *mouth twitching between a flat line and a scowl, slaps a hand over Jun's mouth* Hush, you.

Jun: *continues to talk, not caring if his words come out muffled* You really sure, you don't like him, Scar? *falters slightly at dropping the honorific, but does it nonetheless* Between the cuddling and everything we talked about *throwing that in for the heck of it* when I came to see him and you were there, then you going to him when you...cried... *falters over that word as well* Seems like there's something there!

Scar: *honestly so annoyed right now it's not even funny, Jun's teasing being on par with what she puts up with from Ari and Violet and even Hibiki* ...If I do something drastic to prove I have no feelings for Hibiki-sensei, will you cease this insufferable teasing?

Jun: *considers it, then nods his head in agreement* Yup!

Scar: *sighs, straightening to her full height and smoothing out the wrinkles in her clothes* Fine. Wait here a moment. *looking around the restaurant, spots a group of teenagers gathered near the window and calmly strides over to them* *taps one boy - who doesn't look much older than herself - on the shoulder, getting him to turn around, before she leans in and kisses him on the mouth*

Jun: *shocked, even if he'd slightly expected that with drastic being used to describe what she would do, at the same time, he'd dismissed the thought as he didn't think she'd actually do it* *scrambles to his feet* Scar, don't kiss strangers! *honestly, seriously so, actually almost a rebuking tone like a brother or something, you know the sort where they're shocked but not mad, just... yeah, I give up explaining*

Scar: *pulling back, leaving the poor boy flustered, raises a brow at Jun* But he's not a stranger. This is Sora-kun, he's a chuunin of the Sand. *deadpan*

*from just outside the window comes the faint sound of someone saying, "Oh, how cruel, I've already lost her!"*

Scar: *scowls, staring out the window, where a wide-eyed Violet and Ari are crouched, noses practically pressed to the glass, and she expects Hibiki is for some reason just out of her sight*

Jun: *blinks a few times*That's just... Scar... I mean... stranger like... *gives up* Well, if the bet wasn't over, it is now. *calmly in reaction to following Scar's line-of-sight after he gathers his wits* *grins* Hey, I think I won.

Scar: *murmuring an apology to Sora, rolls her eyes as she rejoins Jun* I'm aware that may not have been morally correct, but it was all I could think of to get my point across. As for the bet... *shooting her sisters a withering look* I've honestly forgotten what the punishment was. Do you recall?

Jun: Not a clue. *pauses, his mind flickering back to her other point* But... but... *floundering for something to use* *points at himself, not completely realizing how awkward his next words are as he doesn't think it through, as he's just flustered over the fact she actually kissed someone to prove the point, as he was rather certain he was onto something with the Hibiki and Scar thing* I was standing here, that's better than a stranger!

Scar: Hm? *thinking it over, her smile turns rather devilish as she steps closer to Jun* Why Jun, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were jealous. *grin widens* Well, not to fear, I would say I have the perfect cure. *dipping down slightly, presses her lips to Jun's for a quick moment, before pulling back, interested in his reaction*

*loud squeals can be heard from outside, as well as the sound of a very surprised jounin*

Jun: *freezes for a moment before slowly flushing a deep shade of read all the way, his entire face turning the shade* *opens his mouth to say something, shuts it, then just flushes deeper if possible* *yeah... no smooth Jun response to that, Scar probably just topped any teasing he could ever hope to accomplish ever towards her xD*

Scar: *smirking, cocks her head slightly, studying Jun with apparent interest* I do hope that wasn't your first kiss, Jun. And if that is the case... well, I hope this won't become something of a bad memory for you. *looking behind her again at her floundering sisters and shocked sensei, who's now squeezed in beside the girls, lets out a short sigh, twisting on her heel towards the door* I think we've resolved the issue between us, so I'll be going now, as I seem to have to apply some discipline to my darling sisters.

Jun: *startled into attention as he suddenly scrambles after her, that flush not dying away at all* N-not at all! No, I've totally kissed people before! *yeah, like we believe that, Jun* Really! Th-thank Ari-chan for helping me. *just rather flustered to be honest, having no clue how to deal with this matter as he hardly expected that to be the result of his teasing, yet feels utterly topped on the teasing scale*

Scar: *honestly giggles, her amusement with Jun far outmatching her slight irritation with her sisters* Is that so? I'm glad then. It would hardly be fair of me to take something so precious from you, no? Oh, and I'll tell Ari, alright, though I make no guarantees she'll remember it the following morning.

Jun: It is, so don't worry! *insists* *his mind just now making the connection of their spies and what just happened and if even possible, looks even brighter red* ... they saw that all, huh? *wonders if he'll ever hear it down when talking to Ari in the future, then realizes that with Kazue's connection to them, it might make it back to her and then he really would never hear the end of it* *is now embarrassed for more reasons than just the obvious*

Scar: *cocks her head just as she reaches the doorway* They saw, yes, though Hibiki-sensei will likely only tease me for it. As for Ari and Violet... well, I can't exactly promise things won't spread beyond those who joined us in the shop today. *flashes him a final amused smirk* Now that you understand what it's like to be teased, perhaps you'll be more cautious? *doesn't really have any hope that's right, just saying it as a spur of the moment thing*

Jun: *his flustered expression dies, suddenly looking rather mischievous at her words as he turns on a wicked grin* Maybe. Or maybe I just need to find a way to top that. *suddenly realizes the challenge presented by this*

Scar: *nonchalantly sweeps her hair off her shoulder, eyeing Jun with subdued annoyance, though to anyone looking she appears rather expressionless* Do be careful you aren't breaking any governing laws in those schemes of yours, Jun. I'm not sure I'd have the heart to cover for you in that instance. *as an afterthought, leans a bit closer to Jun, touching a hand gently to his cheek* *smiles* I'll see you off before you return to the Leaf. For now, though, I'll say goodbye.

Jun: *yeah, that reaction to being touched, again, his words stalling for a moment before he remembers his witty comment, or what was at some point witty and now is just... a flustered reaction* I've already kidnapped you, so I'm not sure if there's any other laws for me to break. B-bye, Scar-chan!

Scar: *just grins again, ruffling his hair before she steps out into the night, instantly rounding on the three spies still gaping in the window* ...I'll count to three. *lifting a hand, lowers one finger for each part of the countdown* One. *another finger ticks down* Tw--

Ari: *startled from her stupor, hooks onto Hibiki and Violet, dragging them behind her as she tears away, shouting something about how Scar has no sense of humor or gratitude behind her*

Scar: *sighs, starting after them at a more leisurely pace*

Jun: *stuck there in the shop for a moment longer, trying to decide exactly what he's supposed to be doing at this moment*

Kurai: *snickering, having reappeared at some point* She sure showed you.

Jun: *grumbles some sort of 'shut up,' his blush not fading as he takes off from the shop, replaying what just happened in his head and having no luck figuring out a) how to top that or b) how he's going to handle how amused Kazue will be, and perhaps Tenten if she chooses to share the news with another one of his frequent teasing target and just heads back towards where they're staying*
