Scare Tactics [Mission, D-Rank 567 wc]

Mission Taken:

...And next was something that seemed to be out of a soap opera. A woman found that her significant other was cheating. She requested the services of a shinobi to confront the cheater and teach him a lesson. Upon his arrival to the household which had several kids running around making lots of noise, the angry housewife, in a nightgown, her head full of rollers, shoved 2 pictures into Kinzoku's hands. One was of her husband, the other was of a rather attractive young lady.

"Feel free to kick his ass!" she exclaimed. "But don't kill him. The bastard is the father of all of these brats after all. Just remind him that he has responsibilities as a husband. Scare that floozy bitch off too while you're at it!"

She indicated, as Kinzoku was leaving, that they could be found around the park near the center of the village. A bit of detective work and it wasn't hard to find the two of them sitting under a bridge over the pond in the park, upon a bench, secluded under the bridge so that they wouldn't be seen.

"Excuse me," said Kinzoku, snatching the husband out of a smooch with his lover by his collar.

"What---What the--" was all the husband could get out before Kinzoku dragged him over and dunked him into the pond by his left ankle. He began to thrash and struggle. Many standing and walking stopped to look. The female got up next looking hysterical as it appeared that Kinzoku was drowning him.

"What are you doing!!" she yelled up at Kinzoku, hitting him several times with her tiny hands. Kinzoku looked down at her with those yellow eyes unfazed.

"You do know this man is married with kids, right?" he asked calmly.

"He told me he's leaving her!"

"Doesn't look like he's quite left yet. The wife's paid me to bring him home. Do yourself a favor and find someone with a little less baggage, yeah? With all those wild kids, he's needed at home."

With a huff of frustration the female turned and stormed off. Kinzoku tossed the husband behind him, tuning to see hi roll several times across the pavement. "You should be at home taking care of those kids instead of fucking around in this park, you know?"

The man caught his breath after a coughing fit to jump up and take a swing at Kinzoku. A knee to the gut sent the husband back to the ground into another coughing fit. "I told the wife i'd go easy on you. Why don't you make this easy on yourself and just go home."

"Back to hell with that bitch? Screw that! She got fat and turned into a grouch!" He replied, getting up again. Another swing met the metal hand of Kinzoku with a slight crunch sound. He started to yell.

"That's your problem. Work it out, or leave her, i'm just here doing what i'm paid for. I don't care what you do. For now, you're going home, correct?" Kinzoku's grip on the husband's hand tightened, making him yell louder.

"Yeah, yeah! Fine! I'll go home! Just let me go!" he yelled, and Kinzoku did as he was told.

The husband went home, and Kinzoku escorted him. Kinzoku could hear the loud argument and the sounds of excited children squeals as he left...
