The Journey to Yukigakure. (Open to Boushi and Kama)

Sensui would leave Kumogakure and head to Yukigakure, with his new bodyguard Boushi. The journey took many weeks to complete, Yukigakure is so far away, yet the resources that they would be able to provide is undeniable. Being a new prince of the Uchiha Sensui and Boushi stay at the finest of inn's they find on the road. Sensui, as always has his mind scattered to various places, various people, and various things and tasks that need to be handled. Still Sensui looks forward to reaching Yukigakure. The one time he had gone there before, was when he was veiled as Yume, so he is wanting to see its beauty for himself.

As Boushi and Sensui move to the outskirts of the Village, they are stopped by a couple guards. Sensui offers the guards a nod before stating~

"I am Uchiha Sensui, prince of the Uchiha and have come to gain an audience with the head princess of Yukigakure for diplomacy benefits."

The guards nod to eachother, and lead them to the village. It takes a bit of walking up the mountainside, before they reach the snow ridden land of Yukigakure. Placing on his cloak he would shiver lightly, and prod onward moving to the palace(?) that they stay in. Entering he would sit in the waiting room, awaiting the arrival of the head princess. She enters, and seems to be just like that what you'd expect of a princess. Dressed in a wonderful looking dress, and hair designed perfectly. She wears blue, to compliment the village naturally, and as she sits down she crosses one leg over the other, letting her gaze peer over Sensui. Before she could, speak however, sensui would take out a note, and hand it to her. She opens it up and it reads as following.

"Onee-Sama

The bearer of this letter, Sensui Uchiha is a Prince among the Uchiha clan, recently named so by Hyou-dono, who succeeded as the clan head, with the Raikage's backing due to the treason committed by his father.

He is an astute strategist and is on a mission of diplomacy and peace to our village. He has the authority of the Uchiha, and will try to gain consensus amongst the Kage of the Alliance aswell. The Uchiha-Inka squabbles also appear to have been brought to an end.

I hope some accords can be made, and that Prince Sensui will be the first envoy of many.

Your nee-chan, Kamarile

PS. He is not much for using titles, even his own."

"Let us start there.....*Would say her first name, but does not know what it is?!*"

The days would pass and finally, as he gets settled into his "guest room" there would be a package waiting for him, sent by Kamarile. Sensui offers a light huff as he stares at the package. He can almost anticipate what it would be, and after a few moments...he would open it to indeed find a small silver ring band with a crest of amethyst gems scattered about the ring. Sensui would stare at the ring -- it was true. After returning she just didn't come back, she didnt even try. Sensui would take the ring, and place it in his pocket. He sits in the chair, only the dim lighting of a nearby candle would give the room a gentle sort of glow.

"Why do I always have to be the one to fight? I ready had to go through this once with kaga -- I don't have the energy to go through it again...especially against someone who is completely unreasonable. I refuse to be the only one to fight for what I want, so maybe it's time for what I want, to change."

He would murmer softly to himself, the burning flare of the Sharingan ever visual in his eyes now. He would go back to his scrolls and continue planning the arrangements, but moreso his mind starts to dance, race, and forge a new future. His mind starts to more seriously consider Kamariles arrangement that she had offered.

"Come, Yume. Let us become on more, even grounded terms."

A soft echo of laughter is heard as another persona takes over a bit softly.

"It is about time Sensui.."

I am starting to realize a little why those that come from here are so refine. I was invited to a banquet today -- the way I figured out was that the seamstress of Yukigakure came to my room to get my sizes...apparently the way dress is not up to par for that of a prince...sigh..titles...regardless I didn't fuss too much. I am slightly worried, as she did not ask about color or style type but...who knows maybe this is her natural talent.

It's been sometime since I've seen anyone I know, aside from Boushi who has been acting as my Liason from here and the world I have come to know so much...the world that had fallen apart only to be slowly restructured...I still don't know what lays ahead in my future which is beyond frustrating. I have started a new interesting project though...and I hope to implement them into my style of combat once I return from this frozen, yet beautiful land.

So everything here is so formal, and precise. Each day, they all take their time and study their craft to become masters in it no matter what it is. I find it most harmonizing perhaps this is exactly what I need. It's soothing. In anycase the banquet was amazing. I was...escorted by this rather cute women who was acting as a "maiden" for the 1st princess. I was then lead to the main halls, where the 1st princess then finally had shown herself, relieved the maiden and then aced her arm with mine...it was all so delicately handeled.

We walked through a pathway, littered with guards. They made it very professional looking but I have a hidden intent that it's because I am an Uchiha and cannot be fully trusted being so close to the 1st princess. We were escorted to the main table, where our appetizers were waiting for us along with a variety of drinks. The 1st princess stands and offers a toast being quite formal and professional about it all she offers thanks to the Uchiha and to Kumogakure and the Allience, and that she hopes all things can work out for everyone's best interest.

The meal was amazing, starting out with a light crab salad glazed with various flavored and dressings. The entree was a perfectly cooked beef Wellington with a red wine sauce with steamed veggies on the side and for desert some famous Yukigakure Icecream on top of a warm fudge brownie.

After it was over, we stood, and then everyone else stood. We were escorted out, and then afterwards everyone we began to leave. Once we returned to the stairway to her quarters. She stops and looks to me thanking me for a wonderful evening. I gave a light nod of my head, and returned her compliment.

Then something happened that I was not expecting...she offered me her hand, and I just stared at it for awhile. I just blinked a bit, and said that she had a very beautiful ring...she giggled. I was not sure how to take that, so my face remained neutral. She just shook her head, letting her dressed locks flow from side to side as she continues to giggle.

"As a prince you'll have to learn some custom courtesies. When a lady offers her hand to you, it's polite to kiss it to end the evening."

What a stupid rule...who made this up? Just one of many things that will change when I construct my own dynasty.

"Ah, I'll have to keep that in mind...". For now, however he played along and took her hand softly and gave it a kiss. She smiled, and headed upstairs. I was then escorted up to my living quarters, and once more my night ended.

Prince Sensui

I hope you are finding your time in Yukigakure quite to your satisfaction, I am sure Onee-sama is making an effort. Has she tried to find you a nice maiden to look after you yet?

I've spent a couple of slow days in Sunagakure, nothing updated on the 'threats' so far, and no nearer to the completion of personal goals, my Samurai protector had a small crisis of conscience. It seems as though she 'likes' the ones we discussed and that could prove troublesome.

I've thought more on the matter, and I hope you don't object but i'm going to exchange a few promises with Mizuki, to satisfy her that a marriage won't make her any less to me. I don't anticipate this to be a problem as you knew what you were getting into with me.

.. Absolutely no pun intended..

For the most part I hope you have some ideas on how to make this work out. You know what I ideally want in addition and I hope your strategy is better than 'hope and wait'.

I've missed your dispassionate attitude on some matters however. I always thought Mizuki would be the one too eager to agree with my schemes. It seems the opposite is true. She says that I am insane, that my wants are leading me into madness.

Megumi offered me her friendship again, and I rejected. She wishes to continue seeking it. Should I accept? It's not sufficient but it may open opportunities that will be helpful in the ultimate goal. It is however likely to be a painful experience.

The future you spoke of can't come soon enough. I am unsure how your morality, if any would square with the harsh judgement I seem to eager to mete out against those that wronged me, however acceptable their choices seem to themselves, others and even my own servants.

Yet that is the beauty in your desire to change all things you dislike. Small trivialities as well as grand matters of state. A splinter can hurt more than a blow from a treetrunk, afterall. Have you raised the possibility with Onee-sama? Eladar hasn't mentioned it at all so i'm unsure if you told him anything..

Regardless i'm healthy and alive, even if other things long desired continue to elude me. I think I may be terrible at writing love letters. I wrote one for Megumi once and it was so terrible she tried to return it!

How are the negotiations going? I am interested to discover the fate of Yukigakure and Kumogakure. With the beating that Suna and Leaf have taken so far I wouldn't be surprised if a strong alliance gave Cloud a very strong hand in directing matters. Especially if your 'scheme' with Rain has made them agreeable.

Something to think about..

Your kind-of-sort-of Fiancee, Kamarile

Kamarile

You called me a prince on purpose didn't you? I can almost see the mischievous grin forming on your lips as you wrote that. My time here has been...interesting to say the least. Much more formal than what I am used too, and all the while it has done much to calm my mind a bit. The life you have here is one to be envied, to be sure. I think I have added some schemes to my overall plot, and spring country will be mine. It is there I will start a new dynasty. It would be fitting to be so near Yukigakure..I do enjoy it more and more as time moves on.

Your sister... Has been accommodating, and yes she has given me a maiden, who heeds my every need... It is kind of annoying. Still I will not be rude, and do what must be done. Having no updates on the new threats does not suprise me. They may be elite enemy shinobi but raising an alliance with the covenant could buy us a bit of time to work out that, along with our own desires.

Interesting that you ask if I object to your... Desires and promises with your guard. Almost as though I have an option to object even if I wanted too. I will take it as a sign of caring, and thank you for the at least putting the idea in my mind. Like I said, I will not interrupt what your desires are, so long as I do not always take second place...though I'm sure you're unsure if you can do that also, I still keep hope I can win you over somehow. Your letter was unexpected but I accept it with all that remains of me.

I have found something interesting while I was here, and hope to show you when I return. As far as your issues go with Megumi...the choice is yours. If what you want in the end is the same thing you wanted from the start do not friend zone yourself. If all you're after is sexual prowess with her, which I'm sure is not it, then accept it and have your flings while her lover is gone for the night...it is hard for me to speak on matters of the heart when it comes too two women, your methods are different, and when it comes to grudges...you women are true artists.

Negotiations are going well. I have just finished a banquette and I know you would have loved the menu. I have sealed some of it into a scroll, along with some fire chakra to keep it warm. I hope it will be to your liking. I think relations between Yukigakure and kumogakure will become absolute...and with the promise of binding through marriage, your family and the Uchiha will also have a strong connection that can only lead to success.

I have not mentioned the subject yet too her, however. I think I will wait a few more days. I have not asked Eladar about it, I did not figure his opinion as a guard mattered much... Unless there is something more too it? Interesting. Still if it means that much too you, I will send Boushi with a letter to him, asking his thoughts on the matter.

I am glad to have heard from you, and I think you are better at letters then you give yourself credit for. It has eased my mind some, reading it over and I gained the subtle scent of your jasmine that you wear...it is ever intoxicating as well as soothing. I shal send one of my ravens to give this too you with haste.

Hope you write again...I shall await.

Signed

Sensui

P.S -- just Sensui.

Quite correct 'just Sensui', it gave me some pleasure to poke at your discomfort with titles. I think I may still force you to use mine. Princess Kamarile, a bit of a mouthful perhaps but what if I said long names and titles were one of those little things that make some things more enjoyable?

Have you tried repeating it to yourself, quietly in the privacy of your quarters? "Princess Kamarile", how does it taste? Better than just Kamarile, or Princess, or just 'Kama'?

Sensui Uchiha.. Prince Sensui.. Sensui. Titles can be a little bit like sauces, they add an extra flavour to a name. Don't you agree? I can't tell if your discomfort is because you simply don't care for them, or consider their implications designed to sway your mind a certain way. They do have power over those that use them.

I wonder if you've thought more on 'dreams' in your time in Yukigakure, something you know to be of interest to me, the possibilities tantalize. Anything your mind can conceive of, a brief (and yet not brief) step into another world. Quite exciting. A hold you have over me? How clumsy of me to put that in a letter!

I hope negotiations are going well because those stories where the Princess has to rescue the Prince were -not- the sort I liked. Mine mostly involved deadly swordmaids like.. Alot like Mizuki actually.

Oh don't pout! Every girl wonders what it's like to find their Prince, even if it's something of a cliche for actual Princesses.

I wish you could see what we have picked out for the little exchange of promises I intend with Mizuki later on. She didn't have a gown so we opted for something less formal and more.. private. I'll let you think about what I may wear in private for a lover.

Regardless, have a pleasant stay. I suppose there's some possibility I might be able to pay a visit to you, if your stay will be as long as you indicated. I wonder what you'd do if Onee-sama said 'absolutely not' to our proposal?

I wonder, would you accept that, or add it to your list of things about the world that needs changing? I hope the latter, since accepting things has never been my strong suit, perhaps even my greatest weakness!

I'm going to go now, and possibly have dinner and then quite likely another shower. Its odd how favourable I am to staying squeaky clean when I share the shower with a pretty redheaded girl. Am I teasing too much? I'm not quite sure if these thoughts excite of frustrate you.. I hope you don't take some -horrible- revenge like stealing panties from my empty room..

Princess Kamarile of Yukigakure

Kamarile

I received your latest letter, and you have just placed many thoughts in my mind. I hope to see for myself what you will wear for a lover, should you come to visit. I hope that you do, and while you are here perhaps that would be the time too ask the question about our future. However no, I would not accept it if it was denied, I would move the moon and stars and force the decision into our favor. There is no limits to what I would do.

As far as the naming and titles...you are correct over the sway I think it as over the mind, still I felt oddly compelled to...utter your name softly to myself as you said...your full title and it excited me...and also frustrated me. You are ever on my thoughts, and you should already know I enjoy the taste of your name just fine. Frustrating, to have read this letter, and be stuck in this room alone. I am finding myself to become...bound to you, and I am unsure why exactly...I know why, but uncertain as to the intent I guess. I don't care, I am just happy to be...accepted. Desired if only for a moment...

Dreams, yes dreams and nightmares, both which have hit me as of late. I have become even more adapt in my ways, and I am sure I could give you a dream that would leave your legs shaken. Though the price, hmm...I am unsure if I've decided that yet. How long are these promises between you and the guard going to last? Are they the forever type? ...Somply curious, because while reading the letter did excite me ...it also made me grow frustrated with thoughts. Thoughts I want to make a reality...thoughts of you, and thoughts of us..

The negotiations are going well. I believe we are talking terms today, once I finish sending this letter off.

So you also fantasize about finding your prince? Interesting, and reading that has lifted some of the frustrations from me...however teased remains. Thoughts of ...well nevermind. Still I am your prince now...and I will make your dreams, a reality.

Write again soon...I await a reply or a visit...princess Kamarile

Quote :

A romantic letter and he asks about my underwear. Such a refined gentleman you are Sensui Uchiha! As it so happens I would have to aquire some new lingerie, having been encouraged by a blue-haired lady to be rid of them some time ago.

So it really could be anything.. or nothing. I used to wear a chastity belt, when it amused me to do so, but I imagine that would irk rather than excite you.. Awaiting a visit already? How impatient of you, you've only just arrived and expect me to go rushing off. Is that the kind of demanding man you are?

I may have to make friends with Megumi, if only so Mizuki doesn't go utterly insane from the unresolved hostility. Ideally I want to achieve something devastating, but what? I'm starting to remember how much I liked her, even though I try to buffer those unwanted feelings so I can make my plans.

I'm a hypocrite though. Her smug boyfriend is intolerable to me and yet I would make her share my time with two others. I'm starting to wonder if this was arranged in some manner by the Ringleader.

Battery farmed loving relationships? Apply implied pressure and desperation, potential hookup partners and and nice soft beds... How romantic! I suppose the question is whether he could have known and planned it this way, or if he gains something from ruining our mutual plans.

You and Akiza, I and Megumi were both disturbed in opposite ways. I suppose as disturbing a thought as it is I would be the 'Shuyin' in this scenario. Still, at worst I can arrange another stay in Limbo without Kirito's interference. That represents one possibility, and the delicious irony of using the same method is quite amusing.

But I have talked way too much about 'the other woman' so far. How was your evening meal tonight? Did negotiations go well? Do you miss me?

How curious that you still talk of costs for such dreams while promising them as granted in the same letter! It feels strange that now we are sort-of-engaged that we are so far apart, so few of our plans can come to fullness like this..

It's ever disturbing to see the disconnect between people who know what I am capable of doing (Eladar, and now apparently you) and others that seem to expect I ultimately conform to their narrow moral views or their social expectations.

Examples being, disturbingly enough Mizuki. She seems to view my plans as a sort of madness eating away at me. How can I make her understand in a way she can grasp and understand? The adage about omelettes and eggs seems apt, but more likely to make her believe i'm not thinking rationally.

At least I can always trust my Prince to make me happy.. hmm?

*A soft impression of her lips in red is pressed to the bottom of the letter, the perfume being something oddly fiery today*

Princess Kamarile~

What was that? That new perfume was even more intoxifying than the last...I can almost feel and see your passion as I took the scent in. Is this what you would be wearing while teasing me with nothing but the scent, a smile? Oddly I find seductive clothing to be more of a turn on than just appearing naked. Don't get me wrong...you look amazing as such, but still I know better than most how persuasive you can be, and just wonder how long my mind would last if I actually tried resisting? A most curious game I am sure, that we could potentially play upon your visit. I think you are correct about the chastity belt, let's avoid that confusion and frustration all together, however yes. I can be rather impatient when I await things I desire. Here have been too many cold and lonely nights as of late, I am unused to this temperature, and yet...I will keep this letter close to me, and take in every bit of this new perfume that seems to take over my senses.

Megumi. I am more than willing to help cause something devastating if only because it means more time for us. I know she's what you truly desire but... I cannot help but start to feel protective...? Of you. I dont know, it's hard to explain I guess and yet the easiest thing in the world. Still, I won't make you unhappy and therefore will aid you how I can. If thoughts of rekindled heart concern you, I can always give you another, more devastating nightmare? Though truth be told, I'd be concerned about -you- now so...I am unsure how graphic I would like to make it.

I am sure the ringleader caused much of the chaos that insued, and if Sunagakure had listened to me, every in would have been as it was. I told them keeping him prisoner here was behind foolish. Why would someone allow themselves to be captured so easily. Fools. I will see the ring leaders head roll but not before I learn his secrets. Perhaps I'll become the new ringleader? Perhaps it will be I who infuses emerald kunai -- causing states of chaos? I do not know. I feel myself becoming closer to Yume and part of me wonders, is that what you want, or do you want me as Sensui? You once said we're the same. One cannot exist without the other, and while that may ring true, I wonder who you'll want on your arm as your prince. I am a mixture right now -- and while I may have the control of Sensui, I have the mind and chaotic state of feeling... The emotions and ambitions of more of Yume.

My meal was ever acceptable, including various delicacies that I assume you were brought up with. Most enjoyable to say the least, still it feels empty without you here. He negotiations are going smoothly, and I think, at the least, I've secured an alliance with Kumogakure. I will now push for the whole alliance and then, with promise of a blood unity, the Uchiha. Do I miss you? Does the sun set and rise? Does the moon ever illuminate the world with its lunar glow? I do, and the newest letters perfume has just sparked something inside me that has amplified it ten fold. Come visit, I need you.

Yes, my dreams and their prices, and yet I know that you somehow enjoy this aspect of my tease as well. Maybe... I've not given you one, because it's all I have to make you want too stay? I don't know, but thoughts of losing you...losing another, tramples on my very soul and I do not think I'd survive it. It does feel strange to be apart. Just know that you are ever on my mind and in my thoughts. What is in this perfume? I cannot take my mind from it, and in turn you. The jasmine you usually wear calms my mind, and yet this has... Put me in a new direction.

You need not care if the implications of others that assume the norm is the correct way of living and seeing things happen. The ridiculous presumption of it doesn't exist unless you see it and touch it for yourself is simply that. Nonsenese. We will continue to achieve our goals until the world is ours. I will do this to make my princess happy, because yes, you can count on your prince.

Prince Uchiha Sensui~

Dancing....for the love of...I had no idea these events carried so much formality. Tonight I have been invited to go to a Yukigakure ball. Dancing...I don't even fully know if I can dance but maybe if I watch the first few dances I can place the steps in memory. The only dancing that I recall is when Aki-...no I can't speak of this...

In anycase, I get changed into a suit once more, littered with a bit of cyan cloth. I dont fully mind the color...once more the maiden that has been attending to me has been sent and dresses me, offers me many things. Most of which I decline...still I accept her place and offer her nods of thanks in anycase. They have started to brand my clothing with the Uchiha crest. I suppose it's only expected to show I'm an envoy but still, I have a hard time to accept that's all I am..though Kama makes me feel a bit more accepting on that end.

I head to the main hall, where I see many people already dancing. I watch their movements and memorize the lead, as the males seem to do. Their foot movement, the way they carry the weigh of the women sometimes. I think I have the hang of it, playing around with the illusions in my kind before a soft hand touches my shoulder.

"Care to give it a try, Prince Sensui?" the 1st princess would ask.

"Sure.." I reply, still unsure but I'll give it my best go. Her scent is different from that of Kama. It does not seem to intoxify me so...it's strange, but regardless the dance was nice. A slower dance, a close dance so it is easier to follow along with the rhythm and beat of the music being strung from the finest violins I've ever heard.

The night grows late but the dance continues to go on. I suppose I'll wait around a few more hours to see if anything interesting happens. Till then.

Arriving in Yukigakure, Boushi was elated. It had been a long trip, even if it was an enjoyable one, and he was glad to finally be visiting the place he had heard so much about. This was going to promise to be a very exciting trip, as he was introduced as an adopted child of the Uchiha it wouldnt be a suprise if he was treated with a lot of well. . . treats, during this journey. And his mouth was already watering at what all he would get to sample. But, he had to focus. While outwardly he was just a child Sensui took interest in, he was in fact Sensui's Guardian and thus had to maintain a disciplined Eye and make sure Sensui returned from this trip alive. But, that didn't mean he couldnt have fun did it?

Yes. Yes it did. Ordered to sit in their room while Sensui went to various meetings, he was being bored out of his mind. There was only so much an eleven year old boy, no matter how disciplined, could do to entertain himself while alone in an expensive room. Finally, he couldnt take it anymore. As Sensui was invited to a dance, Boushi made it a point to ask the first kid he saw his age to dance with him at the party. It ended up being a girl about two years younger than him, who was escorted by her brother about a year older than Boushi. There 'date' ended up with the trio playing in the corner while the elder people at the party Danced on the floor and chatted.

"Hey, do you guys have anything fun to do here in the palace?" he would ask after they got done with a round of hide and seek, running amid the feet of the dancers. "This is fun, but it's nothing i dont do at home."

"Yea, we have this game we play on the adults. Want in?" The elder boy would ask conspiratorily of Boushi. "Hell yea!" Boushi would run off with the other two kids as they began to plot there prank on the adults. In no time flat, giggles could be heard from a side passage as the kids lined the floor with melted butter. After the floor was thouroughly slicked, they slipped into the shadows to await drunken revelers to leave the party and provide them with entertainment.

Sensui, Just Sensui

Well, some potential piece of good news for you. Eladar seems to be missing home and family and so it may just be possible that I will make the trip in the near, rather than distant future. Wouldn't that be enjoyable?

As loathe as I am to leave Mizuki alone with the temptations of the big city i'm not sure she would enjoy this, although she is welcome to attend if she wishes. She is ~always~ welcome.

So as you will probably be looking forward to saucy details i've spent most of the day posing for three different artists to render me in quite different styles. Shame on you if you peek at them before finishing my letter!

In regards to Megumi i'm growing resigned. Perhaps I should just 'snuggle up' and make peace with her, after-all it's not as if being standoffish and rude is helping matters any. I won't mention the subject again in -this- letter at least!

I hope you enjoy the new perfume, it's called 'siren' and is supposed to be reminiscent of the 'romanticism of ocean adventure' or something. It smells nice though, even if a bit expensive. A bit cooler than last time I hope.

How are you finding the balance with Yume? It sounds as though you're having difficulties, what would -he- do with me? I'm quite intrigued by that, i'm still not sure why I responded to you initially. Perhaps the possibilities within your eyes, the Genjutsu? Perhaps the thrill of poking at your delicate control?

Perhaps that's one of the reason's i'm attracted to the Jinchuriki as well. There's always that thrill when she threatens or seems angry that's hard to explain away. Even if the possibility of death is very real I can't seem to help prodding at her calm until I get a reaction, particularly if i'm upset myself.

So, should I move on to the drawings and paintings?

The first is a 'realistic' style and I really like the results, and -yes- I posed for them -all-, you'll have to tell me which are your favorites!

Spoiler:

The second one really captures my sweet, innocent side. Not unlike a unicorn, in that while wonderful and romantic has not been proven to actually exist.

Spoiler:

The third one I like aswell, it's a sort of bold and confident style which isn't intended to seduce or tease. What I think it says is 'This is how I look, and I look good' anyway i'm sure you'll want to spend plenty of time looking them over during the cold Yukigakure nights!

Spoiler:

Your still sort-of-kind-of Fiancee, Princess Kamarile of Yukigakure

My princess Kamarile

The perfume is indeed intoxifying and it swoops over me like nothing I've ever experienced. I don't know what you may have added too it, but I'm starting to not care...I just desire more. Why do you just place my name now? Maybe I'm starting to like titles...I sure like the taste of yours on my lips. A visit would be most enjoyable I think...and yet dangerous. You bring out the emotions in me with all that you do. This perfume, the wine, the way you speak, it all seduces my senses and I don't know how much longer I'd be able to hold Yume back completely.

How would he treat you? I...don't know. He is much more...forceful than I am. More aggressive, and not so tactfully incline. It's a strange mixture...and yet I don't care so long as I once more can feel your touch. It's like I'm being driven to complete all you wish, and...I don't want it to stop, it can't stop.

Siren, how perfectly named for what it seems to be doing to my mind and body... Where did you buy it from? It doesn't seem... Normal; and yet you must never take it off. I figured at first it's because you wanted to break my control -- but I hope it's forging into something more? You did just half admit to be attracted to me, so that something at least...maybe you're just as excited for a visit as well, so that my touch can once more leave you shouting at me, to finish the job that I started. Regardless I just know I'm compelled to be with you now. Everything seems to have lead to it. Akiza leaving and running off with Shuyin without speaking to me...I then get a ring returned to me, without word of why...and then you entered my life like a divine angel to once more give me hope in the world that I will now change for you.

Ironically you have placed the paintings in the order in which I desire. The first..that is something you must wear while you visit, only for it to change into the second one. The third is just how I see you in my mind...and I cannot remove your image from it...perhaps this was your plan all along?

Ever yours

Prince Sensui Uchiha

Have you actually spoken to anyone in Yukigakure about your intentions? Honestly you've been there for -days- and still nothing from Mother or Onee-Sama about them planning to marry me off. I wonder if Onee-Sama might be planning to keep you for herself..

I had a few extra drawings and paintings done, I think I might be taking a liking to posing in my underwear; do you draw? I suppose if you used the Sharingan and possessed any talent it would be too photographic to be true art..

A pencil drawing I like my general appearance appearance in, although the clothing is dreadful, still I think its a good effort and likeness!

Spoiler:

You also asked once what sort of 'clothing' I would wear for a lover and I suppose we both knew what was meant, didn't we?

A few are included I had to be discreet about who to pose for, but it's amazing how easy is is to sit in your undies for when the artist is an attractive woman, hmm?

Spoiler:

One of these you may be wondering if it's supposed to be something other than water, and to relieve, or perhaps disappoint you I have to state quite emphatically that it was water. I will not reveal whether it was lapped up or not, alas!

There's also a present of sorts waiting for you, under my bed infact. It should be easy to find, if you care to look! Just make sure you have your reply done before you go hunting for treasure, I wouldn't want you to be too distracted for me!

Princess Kamarile of Yukigakure

The images in various art materials are with the letters, though there is no sign of any package. Most cruelly of all there is absolutely no perfume on the letter, as if it was intentionally left out for the sake of being mean!

Under the Bed

Spoiler:

Princess Kamarile

Your essence is ever captured in the newest of paintings. Yes I'm sure we both knew what I meant, and yet, I wonder just which one you'll wear? Still I am slightly dissapointed with the lack of that ever intoxicating scent from this letter, but perhaps the gift you've left will suffice in turn. You've ever been in my thoughts as always and I seem to be growing more and more impatient for you to visit. You did not mention such again in this letter, I hope the next proves to have an update for my mind cannot rest until it happens I fear.

I have not broached the subject with anyone yet, I am unsure as to how to bring it up...however if it is what my princess desires then I will see it done. I am becoming ever bound to you. I wont lie my mind is racing as to what youve left me under your bed. Part of me wonders if it's another way to tease and taunt me, making me become more distracted from my daily tasks....but I don't care.

I can't focus, I need to search, without being seen. I will make this letter short, and proceed to your room. I may lose myself should I enter...yet curiosity is a devils tool and I must know what my princess left for me.

Ever yours

Prince Uchiha, Sensui

Sensui finds himself moving outside his room today. A small black raven on his left shoulder and a white python along his right forearm, he moves about the area with a new shine about him. Sensui is back, and now must stop wasting time and move forward to continue his training. He moves to the outskirts of the town, and looks off down the mountain. His ears twitch lightly, and that of a young girl approaches. She meekly advances toward him and Sensui cants his head to the side, wondering of her intent.

"Hey mister Uchiha...are you going to live here forever?". She asks in an innocent tone.

Sensui looks to her, and smiles shaking his head. "No, at least not right away. There are those at my home who are awaiting my return."

"Oh, where do you live?" she'd ask curiously.

"Would you like me to show you?". Sensui would ask, giving her a gentle smile.

"Yeah can you!?"

Sensui would laugh lightly. "Of course, just relax."

-----

Sensui would use this moment to train also, focusing his extremely precise chakra and touching his hand to the head of the little girl moving to place the illusion in her mind. He flexes his chakra to make the girls vision fade for a moment. She suddenly finds herself in a deep forest, with butterflies fluttering in the distance. She can actually feel the sun beams shoot down from the sky, between the branches of the thick wood line. The girl runs about, letting her feet feel the soft patches of soil under her, taking in the fresh scent of pine. Suddenly, it shifts again, into a vast desert. Much more humid, but all the same beautiful. She now can feel each grain of sand under her toes, as the wild sun beats down on her skin.

"I'm thirsty now..". Says the young girl

It was then, that the scene shifts once more to a mountain with high grass, and clouds not too far off in the distance. A moderate temperature, and some lightning crackling in the background. She looks around awestruck, but even good illusions take their tole on the body. As the little girl seems to be a bit too taken with it, Sensui ends the illusion and catches the girl, letting her rest.

"Those were my homes, but do not worry, one day I'll make a dream a reality, where all the homes are conjoined into one, and everyone will be at peace."

Training for Genjutsu -- B-rank -- slumbering forest

A few days pass and Sensui is not really seen in the palace anymore. He wanders about, after all most of the diplomatic missions and intentions are complete, so be wanders about the village before finding a nice and secluded area to just relax in. He smiles over as his raven and Akizas snake are along his body as hey walks about. Leaning up against the tree the raven flies upward to rest on a branch. The snake slithers down a bit to find a bit of warmth from the cold Yukigakure air.

Sensui smiles and looks up to the sun

"I cannot wait to return home, and continue with the plans I have. I must go help Hyou secure his spot by ridding his father of the world...The letters with Akiza has sparked a new light and fight within me, and our reunion and marriage will just make us stronger still. My intention with her is ever pure, and I will once more make her my queen and I will be her king. Still there is much to do. I may have been temporarily blinded by silly events that have transpired, to which I now have a counter for...no more time/space games I'll crack that code... Still I have much to catch up on. I will stay for another couple weeks here, to finish up relations, gain the alliance so Yukigakure will be a useful support to the alliance, then head home.

Home...such a word has never tasted so good. However the word Akiza tastes even fairer. Just a little longer my princess, and your prince will be home back in eachothers arms as we belong."

Sensui would rise early. He would do his morning routine before approaching a Yukigakure shinobi, giving him a light nod.

"Excuse me, I was hoping you could assist me in training. I will be crafting a barrier of sorts that I want you to shoot at with your ninjutsu."

The Yukigakure shinobi glances at Sensui a bit curiously, but nods his head. "Sure, I can help."

Sensui would smile and nod a bit, motioning for him to follow. They once more head to the mountainside just outside the reaches of the village. The sun would pierce through the cloud filled sky, and it's beams of light are much welcomed in the cold environment he'd been in for so long now.

Once they arrive Sensui would start to go over hand signs, perfectly molding his chakra as he moves to then sign for one of each of the elements. He waves forth, as of drawing the kanji of the words in the air. Slowly each kanji starts to come into view and glow lightly. As they're all drawn he makes a final sign and moves to flex his chakra into the seal to finish and solidify it, making all the images connect and harden.

"Okay, let's see what you've got.". Sensui says, signaling to the man he's ready.

"Right.". The Yukigakure chuunin forms up a few hand signs and spits out a burst of water, the water is then gisted with wind to form a chunk of snow/ice. It slams against the barrier and something happens. The water and wind elements are broken down, and absorbed into the seal where's their appropriate element Kanji is placed. The the seal is shattered but the chakra strings attach to Sensui revitalizing his life force.

"Interesting. Thank you, you have been most accommodating."

Training to learn -- fuuinjutsu: energy aegis -- c-rank

The sun would set but Sensui would not return to his room just yet. He moves nether down the mountain until he gets to a more foresty part of the country. There he practices his jutsu more, taking out some scrolls and going over more kanji -- words are power and if you know the true meaning and background behind the word then you have true power over that word.

"light, chain, bind, secure, burn, drain.". All these words are written down and forged together with his own chakra.

He'd then sign and wave his chakra signs in the middle of the air. The glowing kanji would form together, and suddenly chains of bright light would shoot forth and wrap around he tree stump, securing itself. A light singe of steam bursting forth as it binds itself to the tree.

"Perfect. Another mastery of words. Fuuinjutsu is very useful.."

Sensui would throw a card down at the base of his feet, seeming to instantly Appear on the top the mountain where he spends the rest of his evening Watchig the beautiful sun finish setting and the moon rise into place.

"Soon, my princess. Soon."

Spellbinding chains -- fuuinjutsu

Sensui stands by the window warning the sun rise, it's beams shine through the glass causing some minor glare to reflect inside, causing the luxurious room to light up a bit. Sensui takes a few steps back and then heads for the door. He goes down all the main hall and then decends the stairs. Seeming to become quite familiar with his place he can't help but grin a bit. It quickly fades away as he walks through the large double doors allowing him to exit the palace, and into the main courtyard. He looks upward at a caw -- and he just continues to walk. A few moments later a raven lands on sensuis shoulder, a scroll in its beak, he takes it and nods. For a quick moment his sharingan activates and he looks the raven in the eye. The sharingan fades and the raven flies off in a flutter if black feathers.

"Go Raiko, plans are moving smoothly. Sometime in the future, the clouds will set an overcast, and with a blaze of crimson an expansion will take place."

Sensui walks onward, and continues his arrangements with the princess of Yukigakure. The arrangements are nearly complete -- and an alliance with at least cloud and the Uchiha will be secured.

The hour grows late and Sensui is found in the room he was given. The door is shut, and locked. All attendents were cast outside the room while Sensui moves the desk over to the fire pit once more. He takes out various scrolls, only Sensui's sharp mind could make sense of all the scribbles and notes that have been laid throughout the room. Some notes on one scroll cooincide with notes from another and only Sensui would be able to make sense of it all.

Letting out a gentle breath he closes his eyes as his hands rest on his ink quill getting ready to etch things, as he has done so, so many times, by memory. His hand flowing freely along the blank large, scroll he seems to be drawing something. Drawing a map. A map of the village, the points the guards are laid out. The buildings and the where each specific shop is. He draws out the patrol paths that he has noticed they take, and he draws out the palace. While this happens, his hand effortlessly flows to another blank scroll. He starts drawing the interior of the palace itself, and begins to show the guard points, the gardens, the library, the rooms. Where each member of the royal family sleeps or finds residence. Where the dining hall is, the banquet room, the dance hall. Everything. Every aspect of the place he has spent a vast amount of time, resorting it all to memory, is now being dumped onto these scrolls for future reference. As he finishes, he opens his eyes, letting the emerald green hue flickly gently in the fires light. Sensui leans back, satisfied, he binds up the scrolls, seals them, and makes them vanish until further notice.

"Let us see where things go from here, betrayal is unacceptable, and should it happen we are now prepared. The negotiations are nearly complete. Kumogakure will soon gain a new ally in the north, and then a new vassel in the future to follow. All is going as planned." Sensui offers a soft laugh in the nights embrace, before resting his eyes on the crackling fire once more, letting the warmth wash over his body.

"Soon, all will be as it should be, and this will bring me one step closer."

As the sun starts to rise, so does sensui, though he didnt really sleep anyway. He moves to the window and opens it up, letting the fresh, yet slightly cold breeze enter his room. Taking in the fresh air he lets out a light huff of relief. He gets changed, and the hand maidens enter his room thereafter, offering him his breakfast, and daily 'list' of things that are going to be discussed today. He reads them over slightly, though half hearted, as he already knows the outcome. He wouldnt be here this long if things werent going well, he'd have been kicked out long ago. After a few hours, he walks into the main hall, where he is greeted by the princess. They walk and talk along the courtyard, walking by the indoor greenery, watching the new bloom of the frozen lotus flowers they're famous for.

"You've been here quite sometime prince Sensui and I thank you for your patience, but as you know this is no quick decsion on my part, and I must do whats best for my people."

Sensui would nod and let his eyes trace over the flowers as he replies in a soft and calm tone.

"It is no trouble, and I understand. Still, the advantages are very clear with your alliance with the cloud. We are both up in the mountains, and both remotely removed from much of the rest of the world. The trade alone would benefit us greatly, and the protection we'd offer you in return for the economic support would more than compensate for the trade goods."

They would converse like this for awhile, its nothing new, just what they've been going over on a daily basis, still the truth rings hard. They move to the dinner hall, and sit down for a nice feast, then Sensui moves back to his room, where he continues to etch on his drawings and scrolls, scribing the information hes seen and learned of Yukigakure.

Sensui would pack up his things from his room, placing them all in various sealing scrolls -- Head to the main courtyard to say his farewells to the Yukigakure princess, along with a scroll signed and sealed by her agreeing to become allies with Kumogakure. Sensui takes it, and seals it on a wrist seal along with his blade, Illusionists Embrace. He offers her a bow, and lightly kisses her hand as he turns on his heels with Boushi and heads out of the village.

"It is time to go home."

Sensui would start heading down the mountain, and begin walking on the long journey home. He has other ways to do so much more quickly, however, he chooses not too. Walking gives him a good amount of time to think on his next move, as well as all the different possibilities that can happen depending on the outcome of each, his mind racing, splitting off tangents after tangent. The get to the base of the high mountain, and find an Inn to stay for the night. After paying the Innkeeper, they head to the dining/bar area and have a seat. A rather attractive maiden greets them and asks what they would like.

"Tea, with lemon." Sensui says in a rather soft tone, uncaring of the appearance of the maiden, not really giving her much of a glance or thought. Rather put off by that, she just takes the order, gives a soft "hmph" and sways off to start his tea. Sensui closes his eyes and lets the thoughts in his head rumble about, trying to collect all of them at once is his ability, his curse. Seeing everything is not all its cracked up to be.

The tea comes, and Sensui puts one hand on it, lifting it slowly to smell its armoa. Swirling the cup lightly in his hand, he takes the lightest of sips and lets the flavor wash over his taste buds. He lets out a light huff of breath, in acceptance as he places the cup back down. He looks up to the cieling and gives a light nod to himself, as if affirming something.

"This is what is next then, unless something comes up to derive me from the path."
The next bit is set in motion in his mind, now its just to move the pieces on the board, and wait for the right opportunity.
