Kaori sat on the railing on her balcony. The wind blowing her long pink hair. She breathed in the clean, fresh air.
"Kaori!" She opened her blue piercing eyes and dropped her head below her. Two girl stood under her balcony looking up at her. Kyoko Senju a girl with dark green neck length hair with a bang swept over her right eye, her soft gold eyes that could take away the praise from a setting sun with their beauty. She had fair skin and she wore a long light green jacket that closed in the middle exposing her navel and her black tube top underneath and white shorts and her forehead protector tied around her neck. Next to her stood her beautiful teammate. Riana Hyuuga, she had extremely long dark blue hair that was pulled into a tight ponytail with two bangs that framed her face. Her pale, featureless eyes full of light and energy, she wore a lavender top with kimono sleeves with black trimming and black tight leggings, her forehead protector wrapped around her forearm. "Good morning, are you guys finally ready to get going?"
Kyoko raised a green eyebrow and looked up at her friend. "Excuse you, we came to get you remember,"
"Sakamoto-sensei is waiting for us, shake a leg," Riana shouted cupping her hands around her mouth, Kaori jumped down from her balcony.
"Look out below!"
As the pink haired girl landed in front of them the ground crumbled and broke under her feet. The ground shook and dirt was washed over her friends, Kyoko clicked her tongue and sighed. "Geez! You're gonna kill someone, be more careful!"
"Sorry, sorry!" Kaori laughed rubbing the back of her head. Riana sighed and walked over to her and squatted down. "You got the new outfit I made for you dirty," Riana's special talent was designing her own clothes. She got tired of Kaori wearing tattered and ripped clothes so she made a beautiful white thigh length yukata with red roses on the bottom and around her waist belt. Of course, Kaori being Kaori she had to spice up her clothes with her tomboyish charm, she took some inches off the sleeves to make room for her red gloves and the top opened a bit which exposed her cleavage. Unlike everyone else she wears her protector around her thigh under her yukata. Her long pick hair reaching below her back.
"Hello! Fashion patrol can we get a move on!" Kyoko barked pointed towards the direction front gate of the village. The two girls giggled with embarrassment.
As the three girls reached the front gate their teacher was coming into view. She was a beautiful woman with long curly blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes and pink lips. She wore a Jounin vest, underneath she wore a black shirt that hug tightly around her abs. Her forehead protector over her forehead. Akemi Sakamoto.
"Well well! Good morning you three beautiful flowers," Her bright and bubbly personality was something that can fool you. "Your twenty-eight minutes late?" The three got shivers up and down their spines. "Could you explain the reason for your tardiness?" Her bubbly and bright voice was alarmingly losing it's high tone.
"W-we were waiting for Kaori ma'am," Kyoko swallowed. "Oh! Gathering your team together how sweet," Her bubbly voice had returned. "Just don't let it happen again, we have things to do ladies," She beamed and began to walk out of the village and down the dirt path. "Busy, busy busy!" She trailed off.
Kaori sighed of relief.
Riana grabbed her chest where her heart was supposed to be but it jumped into her throat.
"Freaking bipolar teacher," Kyoko muttered under her breathe. The three girls hurried behind their teacher without another moment.
Sasuke Uchiha stood between his two teammates, one giggled uncontrollably on one side and the other giving his death stares.
"What's today's mission Kakashi-sensei?!" Naruto asked with extreme enthusiasm.
"Well, we have an escort mission today," He said brightly. "Wow really? For who?!" Sakura smashed him in the head. " If you be quiet we'll find out!" She shouted. The blonde boy groaned and rubbed the red bump on his head.
Kakashi cleared his throat. "We have to escort this elderly man and woman to their homes safely," Kakashi said with a smile under his mask. "Are you kidding me!?" Naruto shouted in disappointment which earned him another smash on the head.
"Just be quiet!"
"Sorry, no choice we were hired already!" Kakashi stated. 'Great, another one of these kid missions,' Sasuke thought to himself.
Kaori and Riana sat outside of an ice cream shop. Holding their bowls and eating. "Why are we always the decoys?" Kaori sighed with annoyance. Riana couldn't help but laugh. "We're suppose to attract the attention of the guards when they come out of the casino, while those two sneak inside when they come out and get the scrolls, let's face it you and I aren't exactly good at being stealth," Kaori nodded. "I get it...Sakamoto-sensei basically wants us to use our faces to get through our missions...I don't know whether to be insulted or take this as a compliment," Kaori put her bowl on the bench and stood up. "Can you see them coming out Riana?" Her friend turned to the door of the casino. "Yes, and he's got eight men with him,"
"Geez, body guards? He's got his own army," Kaori brushed her long hair behind her shoulder and smiled. "Ready Riana?"
"Always," She smiled, setting her bowl of ice cream beside her as well before standing up.
Naruto groaned as he had the elderly man on his back. "Slow down!" The old man shouted before hitting him on his head. "Ow! Old man if I go any slower we'd never make it there!"
"How are you holding up Sasuke?" Sakura asked. He looked at the old woman resting her head on his shoulder with red cheeks. "Fine I guess," He said with sweat dropping down his head.
"Well, we're almost there," Kakashi stated as they saw a small village in the distance.
"Finally!" Naruto shouted.
"Quiet! Your too loud!" The old man shouted in his ear. "Stop screaming!"
Kaori ran down the street with a box or two. She spotted a tall made with a long white coat hanging over his shoulders, several men walked around him. She picked up paced and tripped over herself.
"Look out!" she shouted in a loud cry. She landed and rolled in front of the men. "Watch where your going woman!" One of the men shouted. Kaori groaned and looked up at them. "I'm sorry, It was an accident, I didn't mean to bump into you, did I get you dirty mister?" She looked up at the man with the long white coat. He stared down at her and smirked. Obviously spotting her cleavage. 'Got him,' She thought to herself. The man lifted his hand to his men. He leaned over and offered his hand. "Um...Thank you," She slowly took his hand and stood up, dusting off her outfit. "My, you are beautiful," He chuckled. Now that she got a closer look at him, he was a little older, his hair was swept back and he wore expensive jewelry. "Thank you, Oh no!" She gasped and cupped her cheeks. "Your pants are all dirty now," She said spotting a dirt smudge on the thigh of his pants. He chuckled, "Your right, don't worry about it, you can repay me for the pants with a date, how's that?" He wrapped his hands around her waist.
"Um...Well, I don't know, I shouldn't go out with a stranger," She blushed. He chuckled again and leaned forward. "Please, it'll be my treat and you wouldn't want to send an man to dinner alone with dirty pants right?" She faked a giggled and nodded. "Sure,"
"It's settled then, please come this way," He began to walk her towards another part of town. Riana followed them close. Sakamoto and Kyoko walked into the casino after they walked away.
Kaori giggled as he talked to her about all the money he's earned and power over villages and business. 'Does this guy talk about anything else,' She thought to herself. 'I'm just ready to smash something,' Her hands twitched.
Kaori dumped into a boy. "Hey! Brat!" The man shouted. Kaori turned to a boy wearing an orange jumpsuit with an old man on his back. "Huh?"
"You bumped into my woman! Watch where your going!"
"Who are ya talking to you fat ape!" The old man shouted. The blonde boy and Kaori's eyes widen from shock. "What did you say old man! My name is Hideki Takemaru!" Kaori reached into her yukata pocket and clenched her gloves. "Shut up old man!" The boy shouted.
"I don't care who ya are! You better mind ya manners!" Hideki lifted his hand. One of his bodyguards reached for their sword. The blonde boy jumped and reach for a kunai in his pouch. The bodyguard charged at the blonde boy. Kaori ran in front of him and lifted her leg, her knee slamming into his stomach. The man froze and dropped his sword, collapsing on the ground.
"What?" Hideki growled as he spotted the headband protector on her thigh from the leg she used to attack his bodyguard. "She's a damn ninja!" A large vein was visible on his temple. "Oops," Kaori giggled.
"You're a ninja right? You better get out of here, you can't protect yourself and the old man too,"
"Me? Run? No way," She smiled at his courageous words. "Kill her!" She heard Hideki shout. Kaori pulled her gloves out of her pocket and quickly pulled them over her hands.
People passing by started to gather around them. "Naruto!" The boy turned around looking for the voice calling out to him but, she couldn't see who it was through the crowd. A man ran towards him Kaori smirked and clenched her fist and slammed it into him. The man flew back into a building with a loud crash. Hideki's bodyguards stared at her in awe.
"She's just one girl! Charge all at once you idiots!" More and more villagers began to crowd, trying to get peek of all the commotion. Two more of Hideki's men ran at her with swords. Kaori jumped up of the ground, pushing her legs out, her feet hitting both men square in the face, sending them flying. She flipped backwards landing gently on her toes.
The large vein nearly popped out of Hideki's temple. He reach into his back pocket and pulled out a pair of large brass knuckles. "You freakin' tease, I'll bury in the ground," Kaori narrowed her eyes. "Try it," Kaori lifted her hands and got into a stance. In the blink of an eye she was dashing towards him. Riana pushed through the crowd of people as she made her way to her friend. Kaori lifted her right leg and with a double spin she launched her kick. Hideki lifted his arms to block the attack. Kaori landed the blow, pushing hard against him, but only to have made the large man slide a few feet away from her. Kaori felt her eyes widen a bit. Riana stared in shock. 'No one has ever blocked her kick so easily,' Riana gasped as Hideki smirked and chuckled darkly. "Are you done?" He stood up straight and cracked his knuckles before starting to dash towards her. Riana raced towards Kaori. Her byakugan locked on Hideki, Kaori angrily threw a strong punch he slapped away. Riana dashed underneath him and lifted herself off of the ground and palmed his chin, sending his head up and back violently, allowing the girls to slide backwards as he stumbled a few inches backward. A loud growl of anger was heard before he stomped on the ground and charged at the two girls, his large hands wrapped around their throats and he slammed them into a nearby wall. Riana screamed out in pain as his grip tightened. "I'll kill you brats!" He growled.
"Hey! Fight me you over grown hippo!" Naruto shouted alongside several clones, the old man previously on his back standing be hide him. He slammed his fist into Hideki's cheek sending the large man flying and the girls collapsing to the ground. Kaori pushed herself off the ground and reached for Riana.
"Hey, Riana?! Wake up!" Kaori cradled her friend her arms. She looked up at Hideki and Naruto, who had been flung into the frightened crowd. Hideki came back towards Kaori.
"I'm done playing around!" Hideki shouted. Kaori glared into his cold eyes as he lifted his fist.
An unknown sound was heard, Hideki turned to see two large shuriken flying at him, they cut his arms but missed his torso, He chuckled but stopped abruptly before being pulled back by invisible wire and strapping him to the ground.
"Don't butt in Sasuke!" Naruto shouted from on top of villagers heads.
Kaori's looked up to see Sasuke appear in front of her. "Sasuke?" He looked at her in the corner of his dark eyes.
"Sasuke! Naruto! Don't just run off like that!" A girl emerged from the crowd, she had long pink hair and an elderly lady with her.
"Riana?!" Kyoko burst through the crowd with Sakamoto behind her. "Are you two okay?" Kyoko asked. Kaori nodded before handing her friend over to Kyoko's lap.
"She's just unconscious," Sakamoto said as she leaned over the two girls.
"You freakin brats!" Hideki shouted as he struggled underneath his wires on the ground, Sakamoto stood up straight and walked over to him. She stepped on his shoulder and pressed her foot down hard, Hideki howled in pain as his shoulder popped out of place.
"Quiet, I don't want to hear you even breathe, lucky for you, I as ordered to bring you back alive," She muttered. He stared into her cold eyes before she walked back over to her students. The crowd around them began to disappear with smiles, and faint cheers.
"That lady is scary," Naruto whispered to Sasuke.
"There you guys are," A man appeared suddenly behind them. Sasuke and Naruto turned around to face their teacher.
"Kakashi-sensei, where'd you run off to?" Sakura asked.
"Oh...Here and there," He said under his breathe.
"You vanished during a mission! How dangerous," Sakura said.
"Akemi?" Kakashi called out. Sakamoto looked up from Riana and smiled. "Hello Kakashi! What a pleasent surprise," She giggled.
Sasuke stared at Kaori as she conversed with her teammate. "So these are your adorable pupils?" Sakamoto cooed.
"This is Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke," Sakamoto looked Sasuke up and down before grinning. "Nice to meet you all," She turned to her students as Kyoko walked over with Riana on her back. Kaori walked over with her arms crossed and a annoyed look on her face.
"This is Kyoko, our poor Riana and Kaori,"
"Nice to meet you," Kyoko said with a small smile.
"Hi," Kaori said softly.
"Hey, I didn't get a chance to thank you for helping me and that old man out," Naruto said with a small blush across his face. Kaori's hard face softened as her arms fell from over her chest. "That's right you helped me out too huh? Thanks Naruto," She smiled sweetly.
Sakura growled at him. "Stop drooling Naruto! She's talking to you," Sakura snapped, the blonde chuckled.
"She's beautiful,"
Kaori's eyes darted toward the raven haired boy in front of her, their eyes locked for a second before he looked away, a small tint of red on his cheeks.
'What's up with him?' Kaori asked herself.
Riana moved a bit before opening her eyes. "Riana!" Kaori cried her voice full of concern. "Hey guys...What happened?" She asked before climbing down from Kyoko's back.
"Are you hurt?" Kyoko asked, she shook her head and smiled. "I'm fine,"
"We should pack up our man, hand him over to our client and head back to the village girls," Sakamoto said turned the the man who hadn't move an inch since she last spoke to him.
They said their good byes before heading back to the village. The sun was setting behind them as the girls headed back to the Hidden Leaf. Riana came up behind Kaori and nudged hr shoulder. "Are you okay?"
Kaori nodded, she knew she was a lot quieter than normal. "It's my fault you got hurt, I'm sorry Riana,"
Riana laughed out loud before slapping Kaori's back, hard. "It's fine, these things happened, we're only Genin, we just have to work harder if we want to clean the world of vermin like Hideki," Riana sighed. "Truth be told, I felt like it was my fault, I jumped in between you two because I thought you were going to get hurt, I should have just distracted him and let you finish him off with one of your enormous punches," Kaori laughed at her.
"You're better than just being a distraction, how about the three of us train together?"
"Sounds like fun," Kyoko said slowing down as she bumped shoulders with Kaori. "I could take you down easy Ryuichi," Kaori raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Since when did you get so confident, you've never beaten me before, what makes today different,"
"Easy, I've been training constantly at my dojo, I eat, sleep and live it, I'm gonna surpass you before ya know it," Kaori scoffed and rolled her eyes. "What? You don't believe me?"
"Heck no, I use to beat the crap out of you when we were little, I know all of your weaknesses," Kyoko blushed. "Well I know yours too, just wait Kaori, you'll see first hand what I've accomplished,"
Riana sighed as they bickered back and forth all the way back home.
That night, when the village was quiet and the owl hooted. Sasuke walked out of his bathroom with a towel over his head and he was wearing a dark shirt and shorts. He looked around his room and sighed, walking over to his window and sliding it open. He walked back over to his bed and began drying his wet hair. He heard a soft giggled before a pink hair girl slide into his room.
"What are you doing walking around this time of night?" Kaori rolled her eyes before sticking her tongue out. "I got bored over at my place all alone," He stared blankly at her, as the room grew quiet she groaned. "Fine! I ate all the food at my place and I'm starving," she whimpered before walking over and plopping onto his bed. "Thought so," He muttered, he felt her crawl behind him and grab the towel. She gently started to dry his wet hair.
"Thanks for helping me out today," She whispered. "Yeah,"
"But!" She spoke up. "It's going to be the last time! I won't need you to protect me anymore," He frowned and felt her leap over his head and land in front of him.
"Starting today! I Kaori Ryuichi will be training everyday,"
"Everyday?"
"Everyday,"
"Everyday?"
"Everyday!"
"...Everyday?"
"Sasuke! Stop joking around, I need to get stronger, I hate that Riana got injured because of me, not just that, you took down my target and that's not cool!" He closed his eyes and nodded.
"You can't train alone all the time Kaori,"
"So? What do you propose?"
"That I train with you," She raised an eyebrow. "Everyday?"
"Everyday," He stated.
"Everyday?"
"Everyday,"
"Everyday?"
"Fine, most day's I'm not doing anything," She nodded and smiled. "Alright, I'll take you up on that," She said with a smile. "Now I'm starving," she walked out of his room and he heard her stomp away into the kitchen.
"Don't eat my yakitori!" He shouted.
"What?! Why not?"
"I'm saving them,"
"For what?!"
"Myself,"
"Your stingie!"
"I don't care! I'm a carnivore!"
"I hate you Uchiha!" He smiled before falling back on the bed. "Idiot,"
