Some more training

Alice chuckled as Akane dashed away looking all flustered. It seemed the Nara had really gotten under the girl's skin, and that was definitely what she was going for. After all it was pretty fun messing with people's heads like that. The fear in their eyes when they finally realize that Alice has them completely helpless. That they can't even move their own body but were subject to her every whim and desire. Hell she could even make them slit their own throat if she really wanted to. It had been quite some time since she had been able to play with her food like that. Of course, Akane wasn't really on the table for harming since they had both entered into this shitty little peace group or whatever it was. The group's motives completely disagreed with Alice's own interests, but it was the smart play at the time to join. After all, having strong companions was a perfectly good strategy to keeping your ass safe when you're in trouble. 

Alas, now our young heroine found herself mixed up with this ragtag bunch of misfits led by a strange ladyboy who liked to use different names. Maybe the heshe just had split personalities or something? It probably wouldn't be too much of a stretch since it came from Kirigakure. Alice had heard plenty of horror stories about that place. Perhaps Ren had just suffered some kind of incredible trauma there and it led him to create several personalities that all interacted with each other in a dark room deep in his mind and agreed to 'fight for justice' after what he went through there. Then he broke down and suffered some sort of identity crisis when the female personality took over and paid for plastic surgery to alter the man's body to the form it is now. Which would explain why he looked completely like a damn female even though he claimed he was a man. He seemed to be pretty sensitive about it too. Oh how fun it would be to tease the poor thing about its looks every chance she got. Alice hadn't had much time to actually interact with the would be leader of Hitsuyo Aku besides the one detailed induction meeting where she received some nice gifts and the promise of a village takeover, which never actually happened. The news that Funka had been turned into a ghost town had managed to reach their ears before they were able to move out. What a terrible shame that was. All the loot she could have ended up with just gone. The opportunity squandered. 

So, Alice had been quite bored lately waiting for something to happen. She wasn't used to staying in one place for long and now she was kind of forced to be here in case the group finally got some kind of assignment or whatever its called. Honestly it was making her pretty antsy. So, when she had a chance to play with Akane for a bit, she jumped at it. Looking back it was probably not the smartest move since she kind of needed these idiots to trust her. She just couldn't help herself really. But it was over now and nothing really that she could do about it. So, with her training for the day finally completed and her inner monologue finished as well, Alice turned and made her way back in the direction of the five star suite she had managed to get herself.
