Today was cloudy and dark, darkness slowly looming over the skies despite it being only but a simple afternoon. Winter was here, but snow had yet to set in the desert. Now today wasn't just that. It was not too long ago was someone, one of the many guards the Sunakage had, summoned into the academy as Ryoka was in the middle of a lesson taught to her class to bring her "special" news. The Sunakage wanted to speak with her. Ryoka initially stood her ground and refused to go due to being in the middle of teaching her class. She requested to rearrange the meeting the Sunakage at another time. Her priority was always teaching her students first before all else when it comes to her work. Unfortunately, but as expected, she was threatened do follow orders or else the guard would have to go to drastic but unnecessary protocols; preferably forcing Ryoka by dragging her on her feet to the Sunakage.
And there she was now, being guided by the guard to the Sunakage. Today was no longer an ordinary day, but instead it became a rather... peculiar day. She wasn't on her way to meet the Sunakage; no, she was on her way to her house. Not her office where formal businesses were done, but she was about to enter into the private comforts of her home. It was most definitely an odd and somehow unsettling location to meet, especially coming from someone at a higher authority like the Sunakage herself. Ryoka always found the woman to be quite interesting and it was moments like this that made the woman so. Ryoka has only seen her for missions and such, but never anything else but that. To meet her in home felt like an honor... a strange one that not even Ryoka wanted to obtain. Nevertheless, she was more curious about why the Sunakage wanted to see her, mostly in her home.
Ryoka and the guard traveled in silence. Most of it, anyway. She has tried to get some answers out of him; why did the Sunakage wish to speak to her, what did she want from her, but in return the guard gave her nothing but an uncomfortable and cold silence. It did annoy her when he didn't respond, but the only thing she could do was to shrug it off. She could only infer that whatever the Sunakage wanted to see her about must be classified information that shouldn't be talked about. Was it that secretive to the point where this meeting wouldn't be taken place in the office but in the Sunakage's home? Well, she wouldn't know until she met the Sunakage.
It took her and the guard at least twenty minutes to arrive in front of the kage's home. What was presented before her was a mansion that made Ryoka show genuine awe on her face from how elegant and large it was. She never knew the Sunakage had such... exquisite tastes in how she lives and being driven into luxury. Then of course, this was the Sunakage so someone like her in her position would want to live as fabulously and wealthy as they could. This woman just never knew when to stop impressing her at any turn. On the inside, at least. She quickly shook off the emotion off her face and replaced it with her usual dull expression.
She was led into the home by two guards who opened and held the doors open for her and the other guard to enter. Ryoka looked around what was now the living room. It was so... clean and classy. It was as if it was never touched, which mildly shocked Ryoka. Her curiosity and awe was short lived as the guard threw her back into reality and called to her.
"Sunakage-sama is in the dining room. I suggest you don't make her wait any longer." He explained as he moved forward into the dining room and stood to the left of the doorway.
As Ryoka entered, she noticed two guards, including the one that guided her to the kage's home, were guarding the doorway... and there she was, in front of her: the Sunakage.

Sayaka happily hummed, her legs making light kicks in her seat as her servants ran around the kitchen preparing the food requested by her. It wasn't much that she asked for, so to speak. What better way to have a very "serious" meeting than over some lunch? She was in her office all day, so she wanted to have a meeting where she could be more comfortable with herself. To her, there was nothing wrong with that. That was why she was out of her usual outfit and switched into something more casual. She only wore a her usual black bra, but this time instead of wearing her signature skirt, she wore panties of the same color. This was her home, why would she be so formal in it? Plates and dishes were placed on the table as Sayaka waited for her little meeting to begin once the person she requested to meet has entered. Menemen, Manti, Kuzu Tandlr, and for dessert, Baklava, all set on the table and ready to be feasted upon. These were all Sayaka's favorite dishes that she enjoyed. She was confident that her little special guest would enjoy these beautiful meals like she would. Sayaka, as much as she wanted to dig, waited until her guest arrived. Sure, she was in the comforts of her own home and could do whatever she pleased, but she didn't want to be so rude to just eat without her guest. Now that, that would be distasteful! Ryoka Hamasaki was who Sayaka wanted to see. She remembered very well who this woman was. She was the lesser sibling compared to Gokudo, her brother of the same day, who surpassed her in every other way for him to become jounin and leave Ryoka in the dust. That was how Sayaka saw those two then young children.... or perhaps they were both actually equals and that she purposely didn't promote Ryoka as she rightfully deserved it. Oh, how Sayaka had to fight back a smile from the grief that child had on her face. If only she could see it again... so sad, so pure, but yet so adorable to witness. Then again, who knew whether or not Sayaka not giving Ryoka the promotion was intentional. Only no one but the Sunakage herself knew, but there was a reason why she wanted to see the woman again that wasn't mission related after three to four years. If she recalled correctly, she was currently an academy student. It wasn't long before the servants finished cooking the necessary dishes she requested for the meeting before she heard the doors open. There, she spotted the guard she sent to get Ryoka and Ryoka herself. Sayaka fixed her posture as she straightened her back and gave Ryoka the warmest welcoming smile she could offer, as if she was too happy to see the woman. When Ryoka would arrive into the dining room, she would not only notice the two guards by the doorway of the dining room, but also two behind the Sunakage and two more on each side of the dining room from left to right. Sayaka loved to make sure she'd have much security as possible to do the dirty work for her before she would have to do it herself if necessary. "Hamasaki Ryoka! Welcome!" Sayaka greeted with a bright cheer, obnoxiously waving at the woman. "Please, take a seat here! We have much to discuss about, so I figured I fixed us up some food while we talk! It might be a long meeting, too!" She explained, her hands motioning over to the seat across to her as if that was where she wanted Ryoka wanted to sit. And Ryoka will sit there with absolutely no objections. After all, Sayaka was the Sunakage and this was her house. She could hope that her guards wouldn't have to use force... not that she would mind. But alas, it was just wishful thinking that Sayaka hopes wouldn't come true. But on the other hand, she dared the woman to be troublesome in her own home. WC: 688

Ryoka was caught off guard when she got a closer look of what the Sunakage was wearing, she ended up stiffening her stance as her lips pursed and holding her breath for a few seconds while her eyes went wide for a few seconds. This woman was practically naked and here she was, wanting to have some sort of meeting. Whatever this meeting was, immediately Ryoka knew it wasn't worth it to miss her teachings over whatever the Sunakage had in mind. Ryoka's mind... may or may not have gotten in the gutter for a moment before she gently shook her head to get a hold of herself, her usual dull expression returning to her face. She wasn't quick enough to hide the emotion since it was the last thing she expected from the Sunakage. Not like she cared anyway, or not care too much.
But Ryoka knew she couldn't leave. She had guards planted all over the dining room, waiting for anything to go wrong for them to react immediately. This woman before her was full of surprises. She knew she was full of surprises, but Ryoka would never know what to expect. She clicked her tongue in annoyance as she looked around. She had to choose her words wisely if she didn't want things to escalate; not to the point where Ryoka would be held down like a wild animal for even the slightest incorrect gesture. This was a situation with no safe escape and must be forced to comply. She still made sure she wasn't one to be messed with despite her and Sayaka's power difference.
"But of course... Sunakage-sama." Ryoka said as she forced a smile on her lips with her head bowed before bringing it back up. Her legs slowly began to guide her to the table, planning to just sit one seat away across from Sayaka. Just when she put her hand on it to pull the chair back, one of the guards grabbed the hilt of his sword as if Ryoka was making a wrong move. Rolling her eyes, she went back to the chair that was directly across from Sayaka, pulled the chair back, and sat down while maintaining her forced smile.
Ryoka looked around to see the food presented to her. It all smelled so good she actually felt her mouth water a little. She didn't eat this morning, so she was feeling a little hungry. "Thank you, Sunakage-sama. This food looks quite delicious." She thanked with a nod. She grabbed a spoon and dug it into the Menemen, a favorite dish Ryoka enjoyed to eat, but she didn't take a bite of it just yet as she blew into the piece. Once it was warm to eat, Ryoka gently shoved the spoon into her mouth, taking a bite of the Menemen. She felt a genuine smile form on her lips as she tasted the many flavors the dish offered before she swallowed it down.
When her eyes shifted to the Sunakage, her dull expression returned, this time her forced smile faded away from her lips. When she swallowed her bite, she cleared her throat. "With... all due respect, Sunakage-sama, I would like this meeting to be quick. I was in the middle of a very important lesson that can be a little complicated for students to understand..." She said in formal speech, her voice soft but had some guard to it.
Ryoka did not want to stay in this mansion any longer. For some reason she felt extremely uncomfortable and it wasn't just because of the guards and the nearly naked kage that sat across from her.

She couldn't help but giggle at Ryoka's reaction to Sayaka's current attire. No doubt or surprise Sayaka managed to take Ryoka off guard with how she presented herself appearance wise. It wasn't necessarily the first time someone was taken aback by her very casual attire, but to her she felt as if there was no reason to be surprised. It was her home and she could do whatever she please. If people were in their own home, then they can get comfortable however they want while still maintaining a professional business of the sorts. Who was she to judge someone to do what Sayaka did and who were they to judge what Sayaka does in her own home?
Ryoka seemed hesitant at first from the offer, but Sayaka still held her smile. It's not like she had a choice, right? These guards surrounding the dining room would say otherwise if Ryoka would decide to go rogue. Eventually her senses were brought back to her as Ryoka finally responded with a smile and a bow. She at first approached to the chair beside the one Sayaka wanted her to sit in, to which Sayaka's smile slightly altered a little. It was a rude gesture at first, but her smile was back to normal as Ryoka sat across from her.
"Yes, yes! I've made sure my servants made the perfect dishes for our meeting. It'd be rude of me to simply have a meeting in the courtesy of my own home without providing food." Sayaka explained. "It gets a little boring and a bit cramped in the office..." She paused for a moment to take a deep breath and exhale an exaggerated sigh. Truthfully speaking, the office itself was roomy and there were many things she could do besides the usual paperwork, but the paperwork itself was the main reason to why she wanted her meeting in her house. "Which is why I wanted to meet you here, in a more comfortable and cozy setting where we both can be a little more relaxed. Dig in to whatever you please! I'm sure you're quite hungry from all your hard work from teaching and all." She said, her hands gesturing her to dig in.
As Ryoka did so and noticed that she was satisfied with one of the dishes, Menemen, Sayaka's smile grew a bit bigger in pride. "I'm most certainly glad you're enjoying the Menemen dish, as expected from one of the most popular and FINEST dishes our village have ever made!" She cheered. That said, she took a plate of her Manti and began to take little bites, humming in satisfaction from the taste of the dumplings. She had to make a mental note to give her servants a raise, they've really outdid themselves with the Manti dish.
When Sayaka was about to suggest Ryoka to try the dumplings, she went straight to the point on what this meeting was about. Sayaka would respond with a hearty laugh that would boom in the dining room and echo into the living room. "Straight to the point, I see? Well, I cannot discredit you on how much you want to know why you're here. I can't take anymore of your PRECIOUS time to teach the next generation of shinobi." She said in an amused voice as her hands folded themselves together next to her head. "But first, how about some wine to keep you hydrated?" She offered.
With a clap of her hands, a servant rushed into the dining room with two wine glasses in one hand and a tall bottle of red wine in another. Setting both glasses down on each side, the servant poured the wine in up to the brim of the glasses. With a quick bow, the servant would then excuse herself and hurry out of the dining room.
With another brilliant smile, Sayaka took the glass and began to gulp it down rather than taking a simple sip. When she put the glass down, already half-empty from the chug, she made another exaggerated sigh as her eyes laid back on Ryoka. "Red wine. Simple in its name, but complex and impactful on the taste buds, wouldn't you agree?" She asked. Sayaka was a heavy drinker, so it would take more than just a few glasses of wine to get her woozy and tipsy.
Sayaka went silence for a moment as she leaned forward, elbow on the table and chin on the knuckles on her hand, studying the woman across from her for a couple of seconds. The eerily bright smile began to fade into a more deadpan neutral calm expression, but her lips only quirked up ever a slight bit into a tiny smile of interest. It would only take a double look to realize she was technically still smiling.
She gently exhaled through her nose before she began. "If I recall correctly, Ryoka-chan," Sayaka started, immediately dropping the formal honorifics and going casual with them. "Your brother was promoted to jounin while you were still a chunin. Now you're a special jounin because you still lacked the skills to be a more proper jounin that lives up to Sakyugakure's expectations. And now you're an academy teacher." As rude as it may have sounded, it was only nothing but the truth. She wasn't sweet about it because the truth itself didn't sound so pleasant, but perhaps Ryoka's skin would be thicker, so to assume.
"So... how is that coming along?"

Sayaka was definitely quite the... lively figure. Ryoka could understand the Sunakage's discomfort in being stuck in the office for so long with piles and piles of responsibility stacked on her desk, so somewhere in a more casual setting was needed for her. However, it was absolutely unnecessary to practically be naked in front of a total stranger (and she says that because these two did not know each other beyond the basics of names, ages, and ranks), even if Sayaka was in her home. Unless Sayaka was that comfortable where she would literally be naked while a complete stranger was in her house... then more power to her, Ryoka would suppose. The only thing she could do was just hold her tongue and nod in agreement while she forced another smile on her lips.
The Sunakage appreciated her honesty, and it was a good gesture, but she then diverged her request to wine. "O-Oh. No thank you, I'm-" But it was too late as Sayaka already summoned a servant before them, setting down the wine glasses and pouring red wine. Ryoka never really like to drink during the day, even when she's eating. Staring at the glass, she made a silent defeated sigh, took the glass and made small sips to her wine compared to the kage's glass that was already half empty. With someone like Sayaka, Ryoka wasn't really so surprised that Sayaka was presumably a heavy drinker.
"Ah, yes, simplicity is the ultimate form of elegance after all." She said with a nod of her head.
Silence fell between the two as she caught herself in eye contact with Sayaka, staring at each other. The Sunakage's smile was mostly off her face, which did gave some temporary relief from the too cheery expression that was given. Now she was met with a neutral expression that Ryoka couldn't really figure out. She said nothing. She only stared. There could be a lot of things going on in that woman's head she couldn't figure out. Feeling a little awkward from staring back at Sayaka, Ryoka broke the eye contact and looked back at her Menemen. She grabbed her spoon and took another bite of her meal, washing it down with a small sip red wine as she swallowed her bite.
The silence became suddenly so... unsettling. Ryoka would still look down at her food while she could still feel Sayaka's stare piercing through her before she would finally speak. That was when Ryoka picked her head up and returned her eyes onto the Sunakage. It seems like Sayaka dropped the formalities when she was referred to as "Ryoka-chan" of all things. It didn't sit well with Ryoka, but she still held onto her dull expression to make it known that wasn't bothered by the notion on the outside.
And that was when things started to get heated for Ryoka. Sayaka recapped what happened with her brother becoming a jounin with Ryoka remaining as a chunin due to not being on the same level as her brother to receive the same promotion, adding more salt to the injury. It was that moment that pissed her off. Ryoka just knew she was on par with her brother. She knew that those praises she's been receiving weren't in her imagination, and she was damn well sure that her brother almost got her killed from one mission just to act like he was the hero in the picture.
Just remembering that moment of her losing her eye... her leg stabbed by her own brother... her remaining a chunin while her brother became a jounin, Ryoka made it known she was furious with the statements Sayaka casually made. She made a sneer at the woman, as if she was about to spat out something that may get her thrown down, but would have no regret. She looked around at the guards that surrounded the dining room for a minute, sitting in silence. She closed her eyes as she took a deep breath through her nose and exhaled through her mouth before returned her gaze to Sayaka, going back to her dull expression once more.
"I've been teaching for about three years and it was most certainly something I wasn't used to back then. Now... I suppose you can say I'm at least highly competent enough to handle a classroom full of children." Ryoka said. "But... my original point still stands. I would like to know what is it you've wanted to talk about." She said. Was it a raise? She had doubts that that would be the main conversation, but with a woman like Sayaka, who knew what she wanted to talk about?

There it was, the face of anger that came onto Ryoka. Sayaka felt a smug smirk rose onto her lips as she watched her try to regain her composure. She knew she struck a nerve somewhere. She'd be momentarily impressed if Ryoka took what Sayaka with a grain of salt. Honestly, Sayaka herself would've snapped if something like that was said to her... but she couldn't because after all, she was the Sunakage and she was the one that had to remind Ryoka the painful truth of how Sayaka initially viewed her skills years ago. It was unfortunate when Ryoka switched back to a blank face, but just for the simple fact she managed to crack through her cool shell made Sayaka warm inside.
"You say you're highly competent enough to teach a classroom of children, yet you're far from being good enough to become a jounin. I will say though, I admire that you've managed to regain your composure. You were about to lose it when I said your brother was better than you because it was true! ...In fact," Her voice has gotten low as she made a pause, standing up abruptly for a moment to lean in further into Ryoka's face to the point where the distance between her face and Sayaka's own was practically nonexistent. Her eyebrows angled down to a sinister image as she flashed a mischievous grin across her face and her breathing began to become heavy. "It seemed as if you had something to say." Her words were in a hissing tone, as if challenging Ryoka to speak what she wanted to say. Sayaka dared the woman to try and talk back to the woman...
...But she knew she wouldn't.
Sayaka's grin softened into a lighter image as she made a little giggle. She pulled herself back from Ryoka's face and sat back down in her seat. She stared at the woman across the table for a few seconds before she suddenly broke into hysterical laughter, making a fist with one hand and banged it on the table. Spoons, forks, and the glasses rattled against the table as Sayaka's laughter grew louder and louder in the dining room and soon echoing around the house. It took Sayaka a full minute worth of laughter to finally come to a halt.
The Sunakage wiped the tears from her eyes from her laughter with her index fingers as she took a deep breath with her eyes still on Ryoka, her grin still large. "I'm just messing with ya! Although I wasn't kidding about what I said about the skill gap between you and your brother, did you just see the WAY I was up in your face all sinister-like? Oh, I should get into acting sometime!" She roared with joy as she swept her glass of wine into her hand and took a quick sip of it. As she put her glass down, she took Ryoka's own and poured some wine from it into her cup.
As she placed the cup back down by Ryoka, Sayaka picked up her own glass once again and then took a sip of the wine. "Now, where would be the fun in just getting to the point where we can spend some time together? I mean, the only time we've ever seen each other was for the sake of missions! Why just get straight to the point where we can use this time to get to know each other? Besides, I'll pay you in return of missing your hours. That's fair enough, yes?" She asked as she made a shrugging motion. Where would be the fun in going right into business without enjoying the food Sayaka's servants made? It was nonsense and a felony to not enjoy all the food!
"Now, now! That said, how about we start with how our days are going so far? For me, it is just terrific! I'm here, in the comforts of my own home, comfortable in my own skin, and enjoying this delicious good with a beautiful teacher in front of me! Doesn't it sound like the perfect day? To not be surrounded by work all the damn time? I know it does!" Sayaka roared with enthusiasm. "Now... what about you? How would you describe this perfect day? Oh! And one more thing," She paused yet again as she leaned forward on the table with her chin in between her hands in anticipation with her eyes widen like a child.
"I want you to be honest... but then again.... let's see if your honesty doesn't cost you some of your fingers." Sayaka whispered.

Ryoka only hoped that the other woman would get to the point so this so called "meeting" could be done and over with. The longer she stayed in the Sunakage's house, the more she felt as if things would start to spiral down very quickly. Instead, unfortunately, Sayaka continued to talk down on Ryoka's abilities, which Ryoka put aside. She would've smack the Sunakage out of spite, but she knew better than to try and assault a very powerful figure in a room full with guards that were ready to react to anything that goes wrong that would fault Ryoka. The only thing she could do was to just power through the insults and take them with a grain of salt.
Before Ryoka would respond, Sayaka abruptly stood up from her seat and leaned close to her face with an uncomfortable distance between their faces. Ryoka was able to keep herself composed on the outside, but she was a little nervous on the inside from whatever Sayaka had in store for her. When the Sunakage pointed out the simple fact that Ryoka had something to say, which she did at one point, in a very disturbing manner, Ryoka couldn't help but widen her eyes a little from being taken off guard from the sudden shift of the mood Sayaka presented. The only thing Ryoka could do was just stare at Sayaka until one of them breaks the eye contact.
Ryoka's face then became slightly bewildered as Sayaka sat back down and acted as if what she did was a joke. A big one. This woman before Ryoka, she was a strange one... a very strange one. Ryoka's eyes darted across the room for a few moment before they returned to the Sunakage. She didn't know whether or not she should laugh along if the guards would react to her not doing so. She had a feeling if she didn't laugh along, then the guards or even the Sunakage herself would make her laugh. "Of... course, you've almost had me fooled there for a second." She chimed in with a weak chuckle.
Just as Ryoka was about to reach her drink, Sayaka took the cup and poured some of the wine into her own cup. With only just little to spare to Ryoka, her left eye twitched in annoyance while Ryoka could only continue to reach for her drink and simply take a small sip of it before setting it down. To Ryoka's dismay, Sayaka still dodged the question by using the excuse of getting to know each other instead of telling her why she summoned Ryoka in the comforts of her own home. This was bothersome and was slowly eating her patience away. She had no time for small talk nor wanted to miss her day of teaching even if she was paid for the lost time. This was all a waste of time and energy for a meeting that would most likely be going no where.
Ryoka took a deep breath as she was threatened with choosing her words wisely. Was it worth losing a few fingers if she was honest? She would call her bluff if that was the case, but from how the Sunakage displayed her behavior, she was actually serious. If it meant giving Sayaka a piece of her mind about what she thought about all of this in a short amount of time, then so be it.
"I can respect wanting to take business to a more casual setting to ease your mind, to go as far as to as to switch to trivial topics, this is not only a waste of my time, but your time as well. We both have better things to do than to just sit around here and do... whatever you're trying to get at." She paused for a moment to let the Sunakage take in what was being said before she continued.
"I'm not trying to downgrade all of this... but it doesn't look good as a kage."[/color]

Sayaka stared at Ryoka in anticipation, her smile still wide and eyes are as open as they could get. Sayaka was just so curious to know how the other woman's day went. Being an academy instructor was stressful, no doube. Sayaka would never really know, but she could see the efforts. She would've thought that the woman would be smart enough to cooperate with her. After all, this was her home and this was the meeting Sayaka set up. Not to forget that if the woman in any way tries to go imp in this conversation of which Sayaka planned, well, let's just say Ryoka would be in for a bad time. That was to say if Ryoka doesn't choose her words wisely. She had two choices, either play along or try to be the "bigger" person of whatever Sayaka was trying to do. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, it seemed as though the woman thought she could stick up for herself by telling Sayaka this meeting was both a waste of their time and even had the integrity of insulting her abilities as a kage because of this. Sayaka's smile slowly but noticeably altered into an unsatisfied frown as her eyes shimmered down into a neutral glare, yet her eyebrows furrowed into irritation. Sayaka stayed silent as her eyes stared right into Ryoka's, as if she were searching for something. It was clear that Sayaka was not happy with Ryoka daring to go imp with this conversation and it was clear she had no intentions of Ryoka getting away with it. "Hmm." Sayaka made a short and delicate hum as she closed her eyes. She took a deep and silent inhale through her nose and have exhaled. With her eyes closed, as if she were lost in thought, she opened them back up, her icy glare returning to the other woman. "I must say, Hamasaki-san..." She spoke softly, now referring Ryoka by her surname in a more formal manner. "...Ah, what a pity." She mumbled. As if on cue, Sayaka's guards all came after Ryoka. The two guards that was behind her would hoist her up by the armpits as they would then proceed to violently and abruptly pull her out of her seat, knocking the chair over if they were to succeed as they'd pull her back a bit, creating but a short distance between them and the table. Two more guards would then march over in front if Ryoka and unsheathed their swords, leveling their blades in front of her neck. Another set of guards would also follow along after the first two guards and grab Ryoka's hands with one of their own, followed by unsheathing their swords and holding their blades against her palms with the other. Sayaka gracefully stood up from her seat as she took her wine glass with her and walked in front of Ryoka. She took a long sip of her wine before she would shake her head at the woman in disappointment. "I knew you'd try to go... rogue of our conversation. I'm disappointed, but I'm far from being surprised that you think you could be the bigger adult in this situation... and you know what? Perhaps you are the bigger adult in this situation and I'm just handling it so immaturely and recklessly. We're both adults, of course, but the difference is that you're the bigger person and I, oh, I'm the biggest one!" She exclaimed as she flashed a small smile at Ryoka. As Sayaka nodded her head at the guards who were at Ryoka's hands, the two of them slashed at her palms with as much force as they could, but not to the point where the woman's hands would be cut off. They would then proceed to slice her fingers open while all ten digits would still be in tact of her hands. She felt as if literally cutting fingers off would be taken too far... as a pre-warning, so she hoped such an action would have the woman get her act together if she really didn't want to lose any body parts. "Consider that a warning. A pre-warning, if you will. If you don't want to find out what the first warning is, I suggest you... play along. We don't want you drowning in your own blood now, do we?" Sayaka said, her tone going sweet and delighted. "But I feel as though I've lost my appetite and I'm sure you must feel the same.
