Ryu took that chance. He stood up slowly becoming more feminine as he ascended. He was gorgeous as a woman, as can be expected from a man. "There is a problem with that as well you see." He sat back down, cancelling the jutsu and returning to his studies.

Huang Pu: "Oh please, that trick can't get past my standards and guidelines."
*Huang Pu snapped his fingers and both One and Two, the doubles, pulled out scrolls from their right sleeve. Each scroll had the word "Guide" labeled on them. Both of the doubles opened the scrolls and started to read them.*
One: "Number one, It must be confirmed that the girl to be courted is a girl and has not had a sex change." Two: "The girl's breast must be-" Huang Pu: "Lets cut out the ones that have nothing to do with my safety." Two: "Does that include the level of-" Huang Pu: "YES!" Two: "Alright, moving on. Ummm... oh here we go, Only girls from this village and from the outskirts of the village who have lived here for at least 13 years, may be courted." One: "No girls 4 years younger or 3 years older than his lordship." Two: "No girls that are from or associated with the 10 households that want his lordship dead, that one was just added recently." One: "All girls who enter the castle to court the lord, doubles included, shall be dressed, washed, and styled by the servants. This is done to not only check for weapons to make sure they look and smell their best." Two: "All girls who seem of innocent mind and content shall be courted by the doubles for at least 2 dates but not to exceed 3 dates." One: " 2 Trust worthy shall be posted right outside the door at all times with additional guards present if need be." Two: "When their is any date in progress here at the palace, the palace is to be locked down."
*Huang Pu had a strange smile on his face.*
Huang Pu: "As you can see, I've managed to do a good job at keeping myself safe during my dates. Even more so since my father died and that all dates take place within the palace. So you see, it would be a bad idea to get rid of my doubles."

This time, Shuiro was the one who groaned; audibly. "Are we really guarding you, or do your elders just want us to babysit you on your playdates?" she huffed.
Nasu elbowed Shuiro and shot her a glance that urged "be quiet".

"And besides," Mei answered, clarifying, "we can maintain the illusion for as long as necessary, and can take the form of anyone in the village. Right down to octopus birthmarks. Frighteningly enough, it's very basic jutsu."

Huang Pu: "I hired you for a job, I expect you to do it. I'd dread to think what your leaders would say if the mission had failed because you failed to adapt to fit the mission situations. I'm sure you can figure out a way to keep me safe without getting between me and my dates? *sigh* Honestly I should have hired that Rock Ninja I had questioned. Atleast he was respectful."

"Which matters more to you, your Lordship?" Mei asked politely. "A single date or living to have others?"

Ryu snaped a glare at Huang even before he finished the word "Rock". He stood up in a flash after Mei spoke, again delaying his studies. "What! What did you just say about the Rock ninja? You let another ninja in the palace and didn't think to tell us about it." He looked around the room and to his teamates. "This is bad. If the ninja was hired by one o the families, he would know thw in-and-out of the palace, and everything we know to boot." he stamped his foot and cursed under his breath.

*Huang Pu was startled by Ryu.*
Huang Pu: "The Rock Ninja shouldn't be a problem. I spoke to him personaly and I assure you he his mission has nothing to do with me. His mission had something to do with a stolen sword by some Rain village ninja. Strange to me was that the rain ninja who were ambushed outside my village happened around the time I was meeting with him. I don't know if he had anything to do with the ambush but my guards have told me that he has tried several times to speak to the Rain ninja who is still alive. However he has not gone as far as to sneak in or harm any of my guards."

Ryu's eyebrows knitted together so completely that one might think that they were trying to tear each other off. "You thought that was something you needed to keep from us?" He grinded the words out through gritted teeth. "I never occured to you that it may be an elaborate plan to infiltrate and destroy everything they care to.?"

Huang Pu: "If he wanted to kill me he would have made a move already. Besides, he was kept in the basement of this palace. Besides, from what I hear the Rock village is hard to find and that most people don't even know what it looks like. I don't any of the house holds could have got a messenger there and back. I'm more worried about the hidden Rain village since it is closer and I don't know why those Rain ninja came to the village. Then again I don't know who could have killed them."

"I agree with Ryu," Nasu added. "From what you've said, the Rock and Rain ninja are obviously tied together somehow. If they're having diagreements over this sword, or whatever it was, I'm worried that this village could be caught in the crossfire. I think it would be wise to send for the Rock-nin that visited you and have him brought in for questioning. It might help us protect you, Lord Huang Pu."
Shuiro noted, "And besides, just because you only knew of one Rock ninja in your village, it doesn't mean that there weren't others. There could be spies in the village now, as far as we know. These Rain ninja we can handle; we know who we're looking for and what their motive is. But if there are undercover agents sent by the Rock Village, well..." her voice trailed off, suggesting that she hadn't thought of what she could do if there turned out to be a third party involved.

Huang Pu: "Send for the man you all think could be trying to kill me? That would be crazy. If I were to bring him here again, it could be... bad."
*There was some hesitant in Huang Pu's speech and he had a nervous look on his face suggesting that he was hiding something.*
Huang Pu: " Besides, if you wish to speak to the rock ninja, you can find him out in front of the hospital. The guard report I read before you got here stated that he was still there and has been ever since the rain ninja woke up. Lucky for him, theres a ramen shop right across the street from the hospital."

Ryu snapped an infuriated glance back at Huang before softening his expression to talk to his teamates. "Shuiro, you and I will go check this Rock ninja out. Nasu and Mei, you two stay back and keep an eye on Huang. He has been awfully shaky while the Rock nin subject has come up." He walked for the door, pocketing the scroll and ring.

"Okay," Shuiro said, happy to finally be doing something. She followed Ryu out while Nasu remained with Mei.

(Since two people are leaving I would like to time skip, but I don't think right now would be the best time for it.)
*Huang Pu was surprised by the two ninja leaving and look of concern came on his face.*
Huang Pu: "The... the hospital is just out the main gate of the palace, two street down on the corner. I do hope you know what you are doing."
*As the two ninja exited, they would notice that there were no guards close by to the room they were in. If the ninja had stayed, the answer to why this was would have been revealed. Huang Pu looked at the two ninja left to guard him.*
Huang Pu: "Well seeing how they just left, I guess we will have to move onto another topic of interest. This room you are in, this is not my room. In fact, this is the room you 4 shall stay in. My room is just across the hall and the doubles are one floor down from my room but in separate rooms. My personal assistant's room is on the floor above my own."
