Sakura sat with the rest of ANBU as the interrogation dragged out. Mostly everyone was tired at that point and wanted to go home, but their duties came first. Sakura herself didn't really mind the interrogation all that much. She never slept much, neither during the night nor day, so typically she would be awake at these times anyway. And the screams of the man in the interrogation roomed, while it filled her with some sadness at his fate as she couldn't be of help, it also was a bit exhilarating.

The main leader of the interrogation walked up to her as she sat crossed leg outside the interrogation room watching. He handed her a folder, and whispered to her orders to deliver it to the ANBU captain's office. She nodded and left the room, starting down the hallways. With some silence existing between the hallways towards the captain's office and the interrogation room she just stepped out of, Sakura's heels resounding of the hard floor as she proceeded. Sakura knocked on the door, and stated her reason. "I come baring news on the progress of the interrogation, master," she said, waiting.

It didn't take much of a ability to read person's tones for anyone to note the pleasantry existent in Shiro's tone as she spoke after Sakura made her report. Sakura followed the young captain's gaze as she peered at the clock even though she already knew what time it was. As a captain, one would typically prefer to stay around until all their duties were over and done with, but seeing the state of the young girl before her, Sakura could tell that that likely wasn't going to be the case today. The woman likely was thinking "screw the rules" at that point, although Sakura could never really picture the young girl who always seems to delicate to her saying something like that.

She didn't much time to decide on what to do with the offer that the woman true her way so boldly. The two had never interacted very much outside of their duties within the ANBU, which was surprising since Sakura knew almost all the members within the group; some as friends, some as old or even present lovers, some as close as family she had had in her past. Yet, they all knew so much, yet so little about who she was as a person. This woman though was just her superior commander, and she figured though that it was likely because the woman never asked her to interact pass that before, and Sakura never really bothered to overstep that ground. Surely though, she still had duties she could stay back to handle with the rest of the guys staying back for the interrogation, but she certainly was looking forward to finding out more about her precious little captain who she adored. "Sure thing, I would love to," she said smiling as she pulled off her own mask. She wasn't sure whether the girl had seemed her without the mask before, but it was unlikely since she was the captain.

she would make way for the woman to lead to wherever she was interested in going. She thought for a second on the question asked off her. The girl was right, she had answered as a underling, but now she wanted her to answer on a more personal level Sakura suspected. Surely though she wasn't intent on lying about it, in spite of how sudden the question seemed to her. "Well... I met a few interesting people along the way that I hope to meet later for one," she said, smiling a bit distantly, but mainly just to give the impression that she wasn't lying about what was being said. "It was also quite easy. I think even you could have handled it," she said, looking at the girl from the corner of her eyes with a playful smile. She was good at being a ANBU able to take any orders, but she was even better as a friend - hopefully the young girl was just as easy and could take a joke.

Sakura trailed off slightly as she wondered how did the woman know of bars that existed this late at night, but she figured maybe she was given the woman too little credit. She wasn't sure why but for some reason she felt like the young girl, while she was in her early twenties, Sakura felt like her appearance, and her occasional moments of depend on the ANBU members strongly, made her see her as a teen just learning the ropes. That was just her though, to her almost every man and woman was like a child to her.


Still, the woman was intent on showing her otherwise as she countered Sakura's smart remark. Then she heard her mentioned becoming Umikage, and she looked at her curiously. She wasn't sure why, but she wasn't willing to probe further, especially since she had some understand for the girl's statement. Sakura was caring, the first quality of being a kage, but beside being too kind, she felt that she was certainly not really one for the desk work. She could do it, but there wasn't enough interaction with the village behind that desk, and she would would hate that.

Coming to the exit of the prison, Sakura couldn't help but take a breath of fresh air. She could spend days on end in that prison, and she has many a times, but fresh air was always going to be welcomed. "I can understand how you feel," she said, looking at her with a smile as she walked along. "I figured as much," she stated in response to Shiro's antisocial comment. "But don't worry too much. You don't know me very much in the first place. It's more so my fault since I never tried to reach out to you," she said, frowning slightly in an attempt to cast the blame onto herself to help Shiro out just a bit. "So maybe we can start with getting to know more about each other." she asked, furrowing a brow, smiling. "You are cute when you're nervous though - it's a side of you I didn't think exist," she said, deciding to go off topic as well as tease her to see what reaction she would get.

Sakura was at least pleased that her words had managed to get a warming smile out of the woman, which only made her own brighten as she walked along. She followed her into the small bar and restaurant. Not being familiar with the place, she looked around a bit in amazement. She noted the wordless communication between her and the man, which she knew meant that the woman was a regular at the place - she wasn't as antisocial as she thought, at least not around bars. She took up a glass of water, drinking a bit of it just to get something wet, or anything for that matter, down her throat. She placed the water back down and thought for a second on the question asked. "Well, I mostly just social around the village as much as possible I guess. A lot of charity work for people," she said honestly. "Not much a interesting life for most I guess." She frowned with a shrug. "What about you?"

Sakura  studied the menu before her a bit thoroughly before placing it down. "After such a long interrogation, even I'm a bit tired," she said, her words actually truthful since she was actually quite tired, "So, I'll have Kirsch. The alcohol might help me sleep. Thanks for paying though, I'm in your debt." She returned to the earlier discussion. "I must say, uou don't seem like the sleep all day type... whatever that means," she said joke fully. "Nevertheless, the job can be quite exciting. Hearing those men and women scream through some of those interrogations is somewhat invigorating," she said intentionally to get a reaction out of the woman.

Sakura giggled at Shiro's comment about who she was allowed to hang around with. Inside she couldn't help but laugh just a little more since she alone knew that her like for those sort of gruesome activities were apart of her and she would have had them even if she wasn't in Umigakure. "Maybe," she said, "Hanging around you might be much better I suppose - especially if you're so generous to pay for drinks whenever we go out." She gave a little smirk at her own comment as she poured herself a glass of the cherry alcohol and took a considerably big drink from it, but still she left some for her to sip the rest. "I have met your cousin Kuroi in person though. He's cute and nicer than I thought. We are suppose to get married a few months from now."

Sakura pretended to be concerned by the younger woman's sudden spit take even though she had intentionally told her about the wedding to get a reaction out of her. She wasn't sure whether she had found out or not, but she knew she likely hadn't since it was only a few days ago had it happened - although mostly as a joke. "Well," Sakura started, sipping the last of her drink, "When I had returned to the village I met him and I was cold, and basically he told me I should get married to him and come live with him so that I can get accustomed. I figure it would be rude to not accept, so I... sort of did."

She smiled a bit nervously and poured herself a glass more of the cherry liquid since she knew the story certainly wasn't much of a justified one. "I think it was mostly a joke, although he did say he would like a few more months before then. Although if it wasn't a joke I suppose I would need your blessing, wouldn't I?" she asked, furrowing a brow, her mouth puckering slightly.

Sakura chortled at the comment made by the younger woman. She had expected her to say something like that. Hearing that one's little cousin was going to marry one of your colleagues more than twice his age was surely to draw that sort of reaction from anyone. She took a sip of her drink, and stopped just in time to hear the woman ask a more serious and apparently straight forward question just then. She matched her gaze for a second as if she was thinking, then spoke smoothly, "As I said I already accepted his proposal I believe, but again, if you wish against it then I will respect your wishes and maybe make it up to him somehow."
