Kideme was beginning to unpack her scroll, setting out some food for the three of them to snack on as a late night dinner if they both so chose to eat. While she snacked on a few handfuls of gyouza, Kideme listened to both Hayato and Duke. It seemed like she hadn't missed anything, and she had heard what needed to be heard.

Grabbing some clothes to change into, Kideme disappeared into the bathroom for a quick change, leaving Hayato and Duke to have their conversation about jealousy, tension, losing sight and authority. Having already shrugged off the tension from before, Kideme wanted no part of that conversation and found it best to direct the last of her energy for the day into self grooming.

She did catch the part about keeping emotions to themselves and she nodded sagely. "Understood." After a nice hot shower, some moisturizing and all things girls did in the bathroom that the boys always wondered about, she emerged from the bathroom in a mint green dressing robe and crawled into bed. "Good night you two, we're going to be doing A LOT of moving around tomorrow, so rest up and be ready." With that, Kideme turned out her light and dropped face first into her pillow for a long, dreamless sleep.

At the cock's crow, Kideme was up perhaps just ten minutes after Hayato had arisen. She left their room for a short spell but soon returned and hurried into the bathroom to dress. "I got us some horsies, so make sure you have your riding boots on!" Typical teenage girls, you know? Unlike before though, Kideme didn't dress into her shinobi threads but instead dressed to the nines in a butter yellow kimono with blue and silver cranes embroidered onto it and a myriad of crystals and pearls sewn into it. She even did up her hair like a geisha, adorning it with flowers and ornate combs, and set off the whole look with a touch of blood red lipstick.

When she came out, Kideme quickly packed her things and looked to them both while she slipped on okobos instead of tabi shoes. "The owner of this village's pleasure house has already sent word that we'll be heading to Mokatari village, which is right outside the Daimyo's palace. We'll be stopping there at the local pleasure house and I'll perform. If I know the Daimyo, he'll likely be sending an invite for me, at which point, we'll go. And from there, I'll secure us our ride into Ame. Sound good?" Whatever they said, Kideme nodded and with packing up all the food, she lead them out of their room and toward the foyer of the inn.

"Just act natural, they're going to think you're my bodyguards." Assuming they both complied, Kideme escorted them both outside where three young boys awaited them, hanging onto the reigns of three black and white horses. After tipping each of the boys, she mounted one of the black of horses and took up the lead. Since Hayato had accompanied her once through the area, and Kideme having been through several times, they would ride North out of Kusa, circumvent the Akatsuki's territory heading East into the rim of Boulder City and turn south into Stone Country.

If all things went according to plan, the three of them would ride full speed on for most of the day and reach Mokatari by perhaps a half hour shy of sunset. Ishigakure was mostly an industrial village that was mostly comprised of stone masons and commercial grade artisans, and the majority of the populace was geographically centered at the lower half of the terrain. So aside from the occasional scraggler or bandit, they'd have gotten through without much problem.

As they arrived at the small but extremely swank and classy looking village, Kideme would slow up on her horse as they reached the gates. "So....before we go in....how are you guys feeling? Want to rest up a bit or eat? Because once I enter Ayuna's Paradise, it'll be go go go from there." Personally, Kideme could have rested, but considering what she was about to do, she was going to be too busy to worry about it. But how would Duke and Hayato take to things? She wanted to know before they put up their universal fronts to the front, the Daimyo and ultimately....Amegakure.
