Ahoy! Ye Trawler!

The trawler lurched and heaved against the rough waves which presented themselves against its formidable bow. The trawler would not be tipped by such swell, but it did make everything on-board a little uncomfortable and presented a possible risk of injury with loose objects being used as projectiles. Just at that moment, a fish-donger which was hanging by a nail decided it would be a good idea to dis-attach itself and go flying towards Ahora. This would be no problem for her, as she could easily have dodged it as it was; but she didn't need to it would seem. A massive hand rocketed out of nowhere and plucked the fish-donger out of the air, thus stopping it's projectile motion. This would have been one of the fastest forms of movement she had seen by a civilian, ever. The hand belonged to the first-mate of the vessel. He was a huge bloke, with tattoos that ensnared his legs and one on his bicep which seemed to add perfectly to his character. He retracted his outstretched arm and placed the fishing-based object in a locked cabinet. He then turned to Ahora and spoke to her, ''Bloomin' Fish Dongers, you could be thankful that it wasn't a gaffing hook or then we would have had more of a problem on our hands. Ah well, as long as you're safe and enjoying your trip; I imagine a black eye wouldn't have been the best time for you.

But seriously, What was it that you needed to go to the Sea Country so urgently for?'' This question caught Ahora slightly off guard, however gaining her composure back immediately she responded, ''Well, You know how Sea has currently been taken over by Kiri?'', with this, the burly man nodded in agreement and understanding, ''well, I have been sent to finalize the take-over with them and secure their leader's trust and loyalty.'' Everything that Ahora just said was completely true, she just failed to mention how she would be securing their trust and loyalty. With this the burly man asked Ahora one final question, ''What is your name anyway, I didn't catch it?'' And Ahora responded honestly, ''The name's Ahora Sousakara, Jounin to the Village Hidden in the Mist.'' The trawlerman's eyes widened in acknowledgement as he couldn't help but comment on this, ''So you're the one who has been famed to be the only person who can keep the Mizukage in check, Aye?'' and she responded with a smile and a bubbly agreement, ''You betcha.'' With this the trawlerman leaned over the side of the boat and responded one final time, ''Well Lady Ahora, we'll be reaching Sea Country's main Port in about an hour or so, the sea will get calmer as we get into warmer waters. Until then, enjoy yourself.'' Then the burly trawlerman disappeared into the shadows of the cabin and Ahora was left alone on the back-deck. Nearly there...

The Return Trip

The boat took off, thankfully before another attempt on her life was taken. All of the crew was aboard and were more then eager to return home. However, they were not too keen for the 4day trip home. If the sea and the wind faired better, then they could get home in 3 days and she could report the success of the mission to Naka. She was however, eager to know why the skipper needed to travel all the way out to Sea for a couple of hours and return back instantly for a few days voyage. After all when she returned to the Village, it would have been a week and a half trip that was only realistically needed for only Ahora. It wasn't until she saw a hatch slightly ajar did she find the real reason as to their voyage. She found sacks full of gold coins and several bars of gold ingots in the engine room. Without saying or doing anything she closed the hatch and decided to never talk about it ever again. She would be quiet for the next 2days until she arrived at home and would act like it never happened. Kiri was a nation of criminals and people whom cared about themselves, it appeared these trawlermen were the same. Good on them.
