Chapter 158: IV Chapter 5 – Once again, a talk over Ramen

Ichiraku Ramen was empty when Gene and Anuk arrived, her headband safely tucked away no one questioned their appearance this early, especially not after the two of them started speaking in French. 
Ichiraku-san who was used to the language brought out Gene's regular order, one time ramen with extra noodles. Jumping the bandwagon, Anuk ordered the same, with baby Gaara tied tight on her back sleeping peacefully, Anuk was visibly enjoying the food, almost relishing it. "Best thing I had in the last two weeks. Life on the run really gets to your food reserves, I had to sneakily snack and buy milk for the little one at farms at some point." She answered Gene's unasked question at her blazing eating speed. 

"Why am I not even surprised. Anuk. Imagine my surprise when a little bird tweeted to me about your appearance in Konoha." Tsukiko said, switching to french, while entering though the door. "Ichiraku-san, the ususal" 

"Sup Commander." Anuk greeted her back with a swift move of her hand going towards her Katana. 

"Anuk, so tell me what is the golden-eyed devil doing in Konoha of all places, and how did you even enter without anyone noticing?" 

"The same way I always do, being a sneaky kitty." Anuk smiled at her and pointed at her back. "And this is the reason why I am being sneakier than usual, I am surprised you don't already know." 

Tsukiko raised an eyebrow when her Ramen appeared in front of her. "Honestly, I do not know. Being honest....it bothers me a bit too."

Anuk shrugged her shoulder. "It is kinda top secret stuff, but to make a long story short. I kinda went Lone Samurai and baby napped the Kazekages baby son after he went wonkies." 

"Oh." Tsukiko bit into her noodles and the massage seemed to compute in her brain.

"YOU DID WHAT!" She screamed paling, the noodles splattering back in into the bowl. "That is a number even for you." eyeing the baby, just a second later Tsukiko let out a grin. "Interested in joining Konoha, I am sure we could pull some strings for you and the baby... a life on the run is uncomfortable, especially with a small human."

"If you are planning on taking him like a semi Hostage commander, I will make you prime fish food." Anuk stared at Tsukiko. "I am just here for saying goodbye. We both know no one in Konoha could stop me from doing whatever I want to...that aside, if I refuse to let Rasa make him into a human weapon, why should I let you do so?" 

Tsukikos following silence told on all that was needed to know. "Quite true, both, no one here stands a chance against you in serious mode, and you won't let me." Suddenly it seemed like the two were having a moment. "And I do not intend to compromise my position nor my friend forcing the issue."

"Konoha has your allegiance, others have your loyalty, no commander?"

"Sure." Tsukiko continued eating. "But you sure poked a hornet's nest there, stay watchful, a great many of people will have similar thoughts and the strength to pull through with it." 

"No one like that old hag here you call your arch enemy." Anuk pointed out. 

"That old hag was my ex-wife, very much ex-wife." Tsukiko grumbled. 

"How did you die old man, cuz I know I did so on solaria five, being very literally burned by a star's brilliance."

"Vaporized by that old vile creature called my former wife, and she was glorious while doing so." Tsukiko said. "A girl on one lap, a daiqiki in hand and a Cuban cigar in my mouth." 

"In one of those Hawaii shirts?" Anuk asked, and Gene shot looks between the two of them. It was as if they were in their own world, reminiscing about the past. 

"I did of a lung attack in the hospital." she muttered to herself, "kinda boring though." It was much, much less spectacular than being burned by a sun's corona or vaporized by an ex-wife.

"Awwww, boring is good, you know." Anuk hugged Gene from the side. "I'd rather my baby sister cousin dies a boring death than a painful one." 

"Thanks Anuk." 

"So, what are you doing now?" Tsukiko asked her, intrigued. 

"Go off grid." Anuk answered her and patted her blade. "Make good use of this, it matters little, every world seems to have a place for those that can fight."

"Land of Iron, then you might need this." Tsukiko took a large pouch out of her sleeve pocket. "Considering you are probably going to be hunted with every inch of the Kazekages body, this should keep a lot of mouths shut." 

Anuk opened it and glancing over her shoulder, Gene saw that inside was heaps of Ryo, this was enough money to support a normal family of two for a lifetime if they were frugal. 

"Commander." Anuk said startled. "Since when are your purse strings so loose?" 

"Since you have a baby with you, the little one is going to need good education and a lot of care." Tsukiko said and nodded at Gene. "That aside, I am pretty sure Gene can give you nominal Yuki Clan membership." 

"Yeah, I can." rummaging through her sleeve, she took out one of the Tassels she had made originally for the Kids. "Here you go." holding it out, Anuk took the small little chain with a red snowflake attached to it, her eyes gleaming in soft gold. 

"Thanks you two." With a big hug, Anuk hugged the two of them tightly and almost smoldered them before letting go. "Not gonna forget that." 

"Now Anuk you in for a tour through Konoha, I am going to show you and small Gaara all the cool places." Gene said, raising her fist. "Screw those meetings."
