Skeet Shooting (Rated M)

[Malice]

She just shrugged indifferently as she stood there with her arms crossed over her chest smirking. "It's gotten me into a few fights but I'm not dead yet so I'm not worrying about it too much!" she chuckled untying her obi with as much skill as she had putting it on. She had to tie and untie that thing twenty thousand times in the past so it was a habit.

"Oh, yes the bet! Well, than I guess you should know that I'm not at all afraid of showing off my body but they'll get to see more than you have!" she teased him taking off her kimono before finally her underwear standing there proud in nothing but the outfit she had worn the day she was born.

Winking at him she set her clothes in his hands and started her way towards the edge of the forest hoping to all of the Japanese Gods that there were no children out there. She wouldn't want to scar them for life now did she? Of course not! Finally she was at the edge and didn't even hesitate to walk out there with tons of people standing around who all looked over at her. Men gawked with their mouths open, practically drooling, women glared at her and looked about ready to kill and luckily there was only one child but his mother covered his eyes before he could see anything.

She stood there for a few minutes with her hands on her hips then turned on her heel to walk back to the forest edge where she was sure to find Drake. "That wasn't so hard! Maybe next time you should pick a bet that will actually challenge me?" she said to him smirking.

[Drake]

As she walked out there, Drake stood at the forest's edge, enjoying the view about as much as any other guy out there. There was a smirk on his face; not one of victory anymore, but one of approval. Nothing this girl did surprised him anymore.

When she turned back toward him, he started clapping. "Well, well, well. I can pretty safely say that no other girl I've met would have followed through on that challenge, but lo and behold, here you stand before me: In all your beautiful glory. You're right; next time I have to be sure to pick something more difficult." Drake said. "So that wasn't embarassing at all, was it?"

[Malice]

She loved that smirk on his face as she stood there in front of him behind a tree so that no one could see her anymore; she didn't want to let them see more than they deserved now did she? It made her smirk her eyes on his leaning her shoulders against the rough bark of one of the trees her arms crossed over her supple chest defiantly. There was nothing to ashamed of, or at least that was how she saw her body to be. Why should she be afraid to show it off?

"Oh you flatter me, Drake-Kun!" she laughed pushing his chest playfully not really desiring her clothes at the moment. In fact she felt pretty comfortable in front of his like this, not many men got to see her this bare so closely and her actually allow it. The guys out on the Calm Lands just got a free shot but Drake got to see her on the inside and out. "But you're right because I'm not embarrassed in the least! Perhaps you can find something that bothers me!" She laughed lightly wanting to at least flush next time.

[Drake]

"I wish I could find something to get you at least a tiny bit embarassed...but I'm thinking the only way to do that would be to tell you to have sex with one of them." Drake said, before quickly following it with: "Which I wouldn't do." Even he had lines he wouldn't cross.

Drake still held her clothes in his hands, but he made no motion to hand them to her just yet. Houka's naked form was an incredible sight, and he'd be damned if he was going to give that up already. He wasn't even trying to hide the fact that he liked what he saw anymore. "Isn't that irritating?" He finally said, pointing to her shoulder which was rubbing against the bark of the tree.

[Malice]

Houka laughed knowing that what he said was true but there was one difference in that dare. "No, I wouldn't be embarrassed because you wouldn't be alive!" she told him with a smile on her face acting as if it were nothing at all. "Besides they're not worth enough for me!" Sure, it was a bit cocky but that was just how she was and there wasn't anything to change that fact! Plus, why shouldn't she be just a bit full of herself? He seemed to think she was pretty damn gorgeous as he stood there staring down at her.

She looked at the tree behind her and just shrugged feeling the bark rub against her shoulders. "It's not all that bad! Plus what if I told you I were a masochist?" she laughed winking playfully. In all truth she didn't mind pain at all because she had to deal with it every day of her life.

[Drake]

He couldn't help but laugh at Houka's rather cocky declaration. It sounded exactly like something he would have said in her position. "So...This may be a stupid question at this point...but would I be worth enough for you?"

"And If you told me you were a masochist, sadly, I'd probably believe you!" Drake replied, with a laugh. "Like I said, nothing would surprise me with you anymore." He added.

[Malice]

Houka's violet eyes looked up at him and a smirk slowly started to form on her lips. She tilted her head slightly with a coy look on her face as she let her eyes wander up and down his strong body. "Well, I don't know," she said slowly pushing up from the tree with her hands to stand directly in front of him. They were so close she was almost touching him as she stared up at him from her shorter position. "You might be!"

She laughed as well letting her hands wander up his chest in a leisurely way to his neck where she griped at her own hands. "I'm glad you're finally learning!" she whispered into his ear with a soft voice full of hidden secrets. There was nothing she could do but tease him like this because she was so fond of him and so fond of playing around with guys.

[Drake]

He grinned at her still-unclothed form so close to him, practically pressing up against him. "I'll take that as a "Yes, I am." Drake said. "Not to mention that even though I know you're deliberately messing with me now, I don't wanna stop you." He said in a softer tone as he felt her breath on his ear from the whisper. "I'm starting to think you're worse than me."

[Malice]

"Hm, perhaps," she smirked knowing that he must be close to freaking out on the inside by the tone of his voice. "What's wrong? Not used to getting this close to a naked woman?" She just gave him that famous smirk of hers before pushing some of his silver hair away from his face. Houka pressed her body fully against his knowing that they were deep enough into the forest to make sure no one was watching them. If someone were...who cares?! Houka didn't care in the least!

"Oh it took you so long to figure that out?" she chuckled at him staring up at him and all of his tallness that made her feel so short. Of course she had always been kind of on the short side seeing as she was Japanese and they were usually shorter than most humans. "I thought you would have been quicker than that!"

[Drake]

"Oh, trust me: It's not the being close to a naked woman that I'm not used to." Drake clarified. "It's being this close to a naked woman and not having sex with her that I happen to be unfamiliar with." He said, putting his arms around her and not caring who could see. This one was definitely different.

Looking down at her, he laughed at her telling him he should have been quicker than that. "Hey hey, I said "starting to think," you're still not worse than me."

[Malice]

She laughed at his witty response loving his attitude already with out any help. There was just something about him that drove her insane, in a good way of course! "Oh really now? So you are a bad boy?!" she was just joking around with her surprise because it was no news to her that he wasn't one of those goody-goodies that thought they could catch her. No she wanted the bad boys! They were much more fun!

"You're only worse because I'm still a virgin and you're not!" she told him with that smirk back up on her face. It was true because Geisha's were supposed to auction off their virginity when they were ready to become a real Geisha to the highest bidder, basically. They didn't use those terms but it was basically being a prostitute, one of the reasons why Houka left her family so long ago.

[Drake]

Drake smirked back. "Maybe I am bad. I've been this way my whole life. Besides, it's fun and fun can't be bad, can it?" He asked. This was his rationalization for how he acted. Whenever someone called him a rebel or something, he never missed a beat.

"Wow, I'm really sorry for how this is going to sound, but I really would not have guessed that you were still a virgin. You just walked through the Calm Lands naked without even blushing." He stated, not taking his arms from around her even with this new revelation. "But at least, it's something else for me to work for." Drake added with a wink.

[Malice]

"Oh you're such a witty fellow!" she laughed pinching his cheek gently with her slender fingers. Houka had never really met anyone like Drake before, even if she wasn't complaining, and thought she might never again if it kept going like it was. Sometimes she just liked to wonder about the future of her and the people she had met. This would be a interesting outcome if their teasing were to continue.

She just chuckled when he commented on her not really acting like a virgin. "Don't worry I take that as a compliement not an insult!" she told him having been told that many times by the females she had known in the past. She hadn't told any guy but Drake that she was still pure as one such as she could be! "Let's just see if you can! I'm looking forward to it!"

[Drake]

Now Drake was the one who continued smirking. "So am I, Houka. So am I." He said, one of his arms still around her. His other hand had found her cheek right after she pinched him. His fingers lightly ran down her cheek, never staying too long in one spot. "Of course, before it gets that far, I'll have to kiss you first." He said, bringing her mind back to what he said before.

[Malice]

His finger sent little shocks down her body as she stood there with her front pressed against his in such an intimately innocent way. It was so wonderful though and she wasn't complaining as he teased her and she did the same right back to him. She looked up at him with a seductive glint in her eye as he said the last part and laughed. "Oh yes that is right! You still owe me a kiss!" she told him running her hands across his neck having nearly forgotten she was standing there in nothing at all. "I guess you will have to kiss me first now won't you?"
