Lily: Don't. Own. Naruto. That is all. *jumps off chair and walks away*
/\(^o^)/\ -My name is Kumo!
"She must really trust her!"
"Or she must be really strong!"
"But she's so plain!"
"She's going after him so she must be strong. I've heard that he defeated every girl sent, even super strength Sakura!"
"At least she returned alive unlike Karin."
I rolled my eyes at the people talking. The girls here need to get better at listening; honestly, a spy can't half listen on conversations. It could jeopardize a mission! Most of the time I ignored the gossip around here but it was about me this time and everyone was talking about it.
Sighing, I unlocked the door to my room and walked inside. I packed up all the weapons and gear I would need and then went on to clothes. I was to leave in an hour to take down an assassin from 'SSS.' The assassin was recently promoted to leader after the past leader was killed by our very own Tsunade-sama.
She was the one who gave me this mission; she knew I was one of her strongest agents. The reason behind going is still unknown but she told me that it isn't for the reason I think. Oh look at the time I need to head out to my ride.
/\(-_-')/\ -In a different place
"I understand, Jiraiya-sama," I bowed as he chuckled.
"Remember to not let anyone get in your way. If you fail, you die. It's guarantied," he replied.
"I know but didn't Sasuke come back alive?"
"He was one of the 10 agents we sent to kill him, what are your chances?"
"I see gomen."
"It's fine. But I should inform you that a former friend of mine, Tsunade, has sent one of her agents there as well. It is up to you to get there first and kill him before she does. If she is in your way don't kill her, understand?"
"Please excuse me, but why?"
"Because she is being studied by our agents as well as his, we can't afford to lose her," he shot me a look, "I won't allow you to get away with killing her. I also won't get any further into this!"
"Yes sir," I replied.
"Dismissed," he said looking back at the papers on his desk.
I went out and walked until I reached my room. I packed everything I would need then left avoiding everyone because they would just try to pry into my business.
\/(_o_)\/ -Why yes I am upside down. To the next room.
I smirked looking at the monitor. Aah, the luxury of knowing what will happen next. No, I'm not the target but I am an important person in this, I can manipulate what will happen next based on what's going on. And no, I'm not the authors either. They don't have enough brain cells to come up with this.
Okay you've gone too far! Momo get me the bat!
But this person is important and we can't.
Take that authors! Ahem, anyway we should go back to the actual story.
\/(!o!)\/ -Yup still upside down. Now to the target.
"-Sama, we have new knowledge on the enemies plans!" one of my agents said.
"Go on."
"Someone from an anonymous address has told us that agents from 'MoSaiko' and 'Buki' are coming to try to assassinate you. Our sources have confirmed that."
"Hmmm, who did Tsunade and Jiraiya send this time? Not another Mary-sue-I-Can-Do-It type hopefully. That last ones were rather boring."
"Agents Tenten and Hyuuga Neji were sent, sir."
"Tenten? She'll put up a challenge, but we can't kill her until our research is complete. Hyuuga Neji, a genius, someone who could even surpass me. He'll be a challenge as well, lovely."
"Shall I get some teams to stop them?"
"No I'll toy with them for a bit then take care of them," I replied, "but don't under any circumstances alert the other two about them."
"Yes sir," and with that he left my office.
/\(~_~)/\ -So many breaks, now back to Tenten!
"You will be staying here, Tenten. I will be staying in the city for some research but feel free to call me at any time," Shiho said looking around inside her bag, "Remember to dress like a normal civilian, be on the lookout for him. It is said that he spends most of his free time here. You are to befriend him and when he least expects it kill him, okay?"
"Tsunade-sama told me before leaving Shiho-san, don't worry," I replied taking the paper from her hand, "Thank you."
"Goodbye, Tenten and good luck." She said leaving. Once she was gone I slammed the door shut and toured the entire suite. It was amazing! There was a minifridge, a gigantic flat screen TV, my own room, a really bouncy bed, and room service at any time!
"I've died and gone to heaven!" I shouted jumping on the bed.
There was a knock at the door and I rushed to open it. A boy roughly around my age maybe a year younger stood there. He had short, messy red hair, a tattoo of the word 'love' in kanji on his forehead, and piercing teal green eyes surrounded by black eyeliner. He wore baggy shorts and a black t-shirt along with sneakers. I recognized him as my target, Subaka no Gaara.
"I'm glad to see you enjoying your room here," he said after studying my face and expression.
I nodded in response and smiled at him. 'Become his friend.'
"May I know your name?"
"I am Tenten," I replied.
"Heavenly, heavenly, such a lovely name, indeed," he smiled shaking my hand, "I am Gaara, owner of this hotel and many like it."
Again I nodded, "That must be fun, ne?"
He sighed, "I guess, it would be much more fun if I had someone to share it with," his face brightened up, "I know, would you like to hang out with me for the day?"
I was shocked, this might be easier that I thought, "I would be honored, Gaara-san."
He chuckled, "No need to be formal, Tenten. We're now friends."
Become his friend: Complete.
"If you wouldn't mind before we have fun I must check on one more person here. Would you like to come?"
I nodded, for the third time and followed him down the stairs to another floor.
'He's different than I thought he would be. Shouldn't he be a bit more stoic and professional or does he know I'm supposed to assassinate him? Gah, I thought this would be easy. Then again nothing is ever easy for me.'
While thinking I misplaced my foot on the stairs and almost sent myself tumbling down the stairs. Keyword: almost. Gaara had grabbed my wrist and kept me from falling.
"Tenten you should be a bit more careful," he smiled helping me back to my feet.
"Aah, gomen~ I was just thinking," Come up with excuse!
"About what?" he asked opening the door to the 21st floor.
"What we should do after this!"
Come up with an excuse: Complete.
He nodded and stopped at one of the doors and knocked.
A boy again around my age stepped out. He had white eyes with a slight grey tint, long, brown hair held back in a low pony tail. He wore jeans and a white shirt with a black bird on it and sneakers.
"Are you satisfied with your room?" Gaara asked.
"Yes, thank you for asking," the boy replied.
"I'm Gaara, owner of these hotels, you are?"
"Neji," the boy now dubbed Neji replied.
Gaara shook his hand and smiled, "Would you like to accompany my friend Tenten and I to the game room?" So he had decided where we should go, hmm? Fine with me I love video games and arcades. I should tell Tsunade-sama about creating one at base once I'm done here.
Neji shrugged, "Sounds like fun, I have nothing to do, anyway."
Gaara smiled, "Let's go, then."
/\(^o^)/\ -Next time Gaara's P.O.V. in the game room and more from our Mystery Person.
Kukai: Characters will be OOC. Future chapters should be longer. Review.
