"Do you understand you're mission Usagi?" The Yukikage, Yasuo Rikka asked his daughter. "Yes father. I understand my mission perfectly fine! I'm not a Genin anymore!" Usagi Rikka snorted, rubbing a strand of her long hair between her fingers. "Sometimes I wish you still were, then I wouldn't have to send you out on this mission….." Yasuo said with a sigh. Usagi made a face. "Where would be the fun in that daddy-kins?" Usagi asked him, a confident look on her face. He rubbed his temples. "Yes, where would be the fun in that?" He muttered to himself. He then looked his daughter in the eyes, and gave her a look over, possibly seeing his daughter for the last time. She was going on a dangerous mission. "Alright. You're dismissed Usagi, get on to you're mission." He ordered her. She was gone in a blink of the eye.
"Daaaaaddy!" Yasuo felt the two arms wrap around his waist as his youngest daughter hugged him. "Hello Ruri, what's the matter love?"
He asked her as she scrambled up his back, locking her arms around his neck, and her legs around his waist. "Is it true that Usagi-neechan is a rouge ninja now? It's not true is it daddy? She promised to help me with some jutsu training!" Whined Ruri childishly. "Yes. She was caught transferring important scrolls to enemy ninja." Yasuo really did not like lying to his daughter. "Daaaaad! Hey! Get off of him Ruri!" Yelled his middle daughter, Akane. She was at his side, tugging on his arm. "No! I don't wanna!" Ruri stuck her tongue out at her older sister. "You're such a brat Ruri!" "I am not Akane!" The two glared at each other before Ruri stuck her tongue out at Akane. "Why you little brat!" Akane screeched, attempting to attack her sister as she remained on their fathers back.
"No you don't Akane. You know the rules, no matter how annoying Ruri gets, you don't attack her, she'll get revenge on you, like when she cut you're hair after drugging you to sleep." Yes, it's true. Ruri was a evil child.
Of course, she was a mix between her older sisters. So it was only natural where she learned EVERYTHING from. Like the time Akane wanted a break from her energetic sensei, so she broke into the hospital, and stole a vial of a flu virus, and fed it to him. She was a natural bio-terrorist. And Usagi…..Well. We're not even going GO there. "Pfffft…..I could take that brat any day!" Akane muttered as her father held on to her to stop her from attacking her baby sister. "Uh-huh. I bet you can't!" Taunted Ruri.
"Damn you brat! I'll kill you!" Akane screeched trying to claw the younger Rikka's eyes out. "What is it that you want Akane?" Yasuo asked, trying to distract the girl. "Oh! That's right! Mother said to tell you and Ruri that dinner was ready!" Akane told him. "Then I suppose we should all head home yes?" he said, and with one daughter clinging to his back, the other hanging from his arm, he teleported home. "Maaaaama! We're home!"
Screamed Ruri, making Yasuo wince as his eardrum shattered. Ruri dropped from her fathers back, and hurried into the warm kitchen where they would be taking their family meal that evening. When they all settled down to eat, Yasuo decided to speak. "Girls, as you know, this village is fairly new compared to the other hidden villages." He began. "I told you not to steal food off of my plate Ruri!" Akane yelled at Ruri. "And so I have come to a very important decision." He tried again. "I can't hear you! Lalalalalala! I can't hear you!" Ruri sang holding her hands over her ears.
He twitched. "This is a very serious matter girls, so if you would listen to me." He really didn't know when to give up. "You better listen to me brat! Or I'll rip your fucking tongue out!" Akane screamed lunging at her sister.
"I still can't hear you! Lalalalalalala! I still can't here you cocksucker!" Akane missed her sister as Ruri somersaulted backwards. "SHUT UP!" Yasuo hollered over all the noise. The two girls froze, Akane's hands around Ruri's neck, and Ruri trying to pull out all of Akane's hair. "Ahem. Now that I have your attention." "What?! No way Ruri! I said you couldn't have my food!" "But I'm hungry Akane-neechan! Feed meeee!" "Girls, listen to your father now." Shina ordered them in her soft voice. "Yes mother." They both sat still as they answered in union. Yasuo's eye twitched as a anime vein appeared on his head. "Now, as I was saying….I've come to a important decision. I am sending you each to a different village to strengthen the ties with them. But I need to know if you are prepared for this. You'll be away from home for a long time, I can't tell you when you'll be back. And you won't have each other to play with."
The two sisters looked at each. So, basically, they wouldn't be able to play their pranks on the village together anymore….. "I dunno dad….Are you sure we're ready for this type of thing? Especially Ruri? You know she can never act serious, she'll probably end up kissing some woman's husband or something." Akane said dryly. "Heeey! There's nothing wrong with being affectionate! Is there daddy?" Ruri asked him, a pout on her face.
Yasuo chuckled. "No Ruri. There's nothing wrong with it if you like doing it. Just don't overdue it, remember, our village is use to you and all your affection." He told her. "Look, I promise I won't kiss the first cute guy that I see!" She said holding up her pinky to her father. He laughed and hooked pinky's with her. "All right. I'll hold you to it." He told her. "I accept." Akane said, her eyes twinkling with excitement at the prospect of learning new things. "Me too daddy! I'll accept too!" Ruri said determinedly. She could meet new guys! Yasuo and Shina smiled at each other sadly, over the heads of their children. They grew up so fast, and were already growing apart from them.
'Target is spotted!' Usagi thought to herself as she saw the two enter the clearing. She jumped down from the tree, revealing herself. "Star bright, star light, first star I see tonight." She said to them. They glanced at each other, and the shorter one nodded at the taller one. The taller one let out a small groan. "First star I see tonight, wish I may, wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight." He finished the small tune. "Usagi Rikka?" the short one growled. "Yes. Sasori and Deidara I assume?" She asked them. They nodded. "Let's get going, Leader wants to meet you, and see if you're a worthy candidate." Sasori spoke, and so began Usagi's adventure of a life time.
"Hey, are you the visiting Snow Ninja?" A boy around Akane's age asked her as she entered the village. She took out her passport. "Yeah, that's me. Who the hell are you?" She asked him cockily. He took her passport and examined it. After determining it was real, he handed it back to her. "Shikamaru Nara. Come on, this way." He told her as he turned on his heel and started walking away. She fell into step with him quickly, he walked at a slow pace. "Can we, I dunno. Speed it up a little more?" She sneered.
He didn't even bother looking at her. "This is troublesome enough, don't make it even more troublesome." He told her as he yawned into his hand.
She glared at him, she could already tell she didn't like him.
"Hello, are you Ruri Rikka from the Snow?" Ruri looked up from where she was building a castle out sand, it wasn't going to well. "Yepper peppers!"
She said as she stood up, dusting her hands off. She seemed very out of place among all the other dark clothed ninja. Being in all white, with a little bit of pink and gold. "I'm Temari Sabaku. I'm going to be you're guide for the next few days." Temari told her holding out a hand. Ruri ignored the hand offered, and wrapped her arms around the older girls waist in a hug. "It's nice to meet you Temari-neechan!" She squealed.
Temari seemed taken back by the affection the girl was giving her. She awkwardly returned the hug. "Um. Come on. Let's go, you're to meet with the Kazekage." Temari told her. "Okay!" Ruri said cheerfully grabbing Temari's hand. Temari gave the girl a strange look, but didn't attempt to get her hand back. They soon arrived at the Kazekage building, and went up to the deck that the Kazekage was waiting for them at. From where he stood, you could see the whole village. "This is Kankuro Sabaku, my younger brother. And this is Gaara Sabaku, Kankuro and mine younger brother and Kazekage of the village." Temari said introducing the younger girl to Gaara. Gaara turned and met the girl. She bounced over to him, a big grin on her face, and everyone watched in shock as her arms slipped around his neck, and her lips found his in a kiss. Everyone was frozen, including Gaara. She stepped back, giggling. "Thanks for having me Gaara-chan!"
