Two days later team Dog headed out to Kirigakure they had a Kage to kill after all. Kakashi was waiting by the HQ entrance for the rest of his team. Tenzo showed up first the man's Cat mask shone in the pail light walking up to Kakashi he gave a short bow.
"Captain all preparations had been made where just waiting on Wolf and Rabbit." As if being summoned by his words two shapes came from the shadows Rabbit nodded and they were off. It took team Dog six days to reach Kirigakure. When Kakashi gave the word to stop for the night his team was relieved.
"Wolf I want you and Cat to set up traps within a 10 mile radius Rabbit and I will set up camp." Wolf walked over and whispered something to Rabbit and with a nod her and Cat were off. Tenzo was watching Sora set traps with a combination of speed and skill. He then finished his half after he was done Tenzo asked Sora a question that had been bothering him.
"Um Wolf can I ask you something?" Tenzō's voice was hesitant as Sora turned around he took a breath awaiting her answer.
. "Depends on what it is.", Sora murmured as she tied up the last of her traps. He was hesitant for a moment, contemplating his words carefully.
"What happened with Itachi?" Sora's body went rigid and Tenzō regretted the question almost immediately. He rubbed the back of his head as she still didn't speak, "Um, you know what, never mind." She spun on her heels, her quiet demeanor broken,
"No, let's do this now!" She rushed to him, her face so close to his he could feel her seething with anger. Tenzo flinched back was Sora's hands latched in his uniform her brown eyes shining with rage.
"You want to know what happened with Itachi! Itachi became a traitor for his people he killed his clan for the village and now he's a missing-nin and people want his head and I couldn't do a damn thing to save him!" Sora let go of Tenzo and stormed back the way they came. Miu and Kakashi had just finished setting up camp when Sora stormed in and Miu could tell by her friend's body language she was upset. Tenzo followed behind Sora and Miu stormed up to him and tensely said.
"What did you say to her?" Miu's tone was casual, but the friendly smile she attempted to produce gave way to her feelings of displeasure.
"I just asked about Itachi." Tenzo looked towards Sora who was grabbing her gear. Miu's face stiffened and a set frown was placed as she narrowed her eyes at him. She sighed and pinched her brows together,
"I didn't realize you were such an idiot." Her voice turned from her high-pitched, cheery tone to one of animosity,
"If you dare bring up that subject again I won't hesitate to kill you."
Tenzo was taken aback, obviously uncomfortable as he shifted his gaze from Miu's sharp, black orbs.
"Got it I'm going to go double check the traps..."he stepped back and practically ran into the forest. Miu sighed once again as she looked to Sora, who had ended up sitting on a log not too far away, her hands on her head Tsuki at her feet. Rabbit walked to her and immediately flung her arms around her slumped shoulders, "Wolf." Miu's one word was all it took for Sora to wrap her own arms around in response.
"I just miss him so much. It's not fair. I know Cat didn't mean any harm, but I crave his ignorance." Miu hummed her response soothingly, patting Sora's hair.
"What's happening here?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow at the two girls. Sora immediately became composed, no sign of anguish crossed her face as she stood, her hands crossing behind her head casually. Miu smiled to him and shrugged, a small laugh escaping as his one visible eye narrowed in confusion. There was suddenly a rushed rustle from the bushes and they all became alert. Tenzo appeared holding one of the rope traps they had set up; a ninja enwrapped in it. Cat dragged the unconscious man across the forest floor by the edge of the rope around his feet.
"Looks like we have a spy from the Land of Water." As they waited for the man to wake up Miu glared at Tenzo and Sora's blank eyes looked at the tress unseeing. There was a sound as the Kirinin woke up Kakashi and Tsuki watching him. Kakashi gave the Nin a chilling smile and spoke in a sly voice.
"You're going I tell us everything you know now ok." Team Dog found out the Mizukage would be alone for a ten minute period while he waited for a council change they would strike then. It was early when Team Dog headed out if they did this well they would be home in a week. Kakashi and Tenzo took care of the guards while Sora, Tsuki and Miu headed towards their target. The three Konaha Nin walked into the Mizukage's office under a Henge. Miu waited by the door as Tsuki and Sora walked over to deliver some papers.
"Mizukage-Sama these need to be signed before the next council meeting." As the Mizukage looked up Sora's hand flew from under the pile of paper and she swiftly sliced the Mizukage's throat. His blood splattered across the whitepages for his alliance with Kumogakure's Raikage A. With a nod at Miu they left as swiftly as they came. The trio meet Kakashi and Tenzo outside where they had set up camp. Kakashi walked up looked them over and spoke.
"I take it you were unseen and completed your task." The girls nodded and Sora handed Kakashi the alliance papers. Kakashi placed them into a scroll with a flick if his fingers they were off and headed home. Three weeks later the red gates of Konaha where a welcome sight for the four ANBU and Ninken. They headed back to ANBU HQ deposited their things and wrote their reports for the Sandaime. They would have a week off and missions would be handed out. Sora, Miu and Tsuki were enjoying their day off as they walked the village streets Sora wearing Jōnin clothing and Miu dressed in her civilian clothes.
Sora was dressed black pants with her Kunai and Shuriken pouch on her left side her summons scroll strapped to her back on the same side along with a black shirt and the normal Jōnin vest. Miu was wearing white jacket and a black skirt. With a white belt with silver rings around it placed strategically at an angle on her skirt. She had wrappings that go around her chest and neck. And also wears the classic ninja sandals and fishnets around her legs. As they were chatting about the latest batch of Genin's there was a shout behind them.
"Sora-Nee wait up!" Turning around they saw a 12 year old Kiba running to meet them. Sora smiled at her brother it seems he finally got Akamaru to behave. "Hello Kiba It's rare for you to come and find me?" Kiba's face broke into a huge grin as he picked the puppy.
"Mom told me you were home and I wanted to show you what I've been training with for the last month I graduate in two weeks." Sora chucked at her little brothers happiness hearing Miu giggle she looked at her best friend.
"What's so funny Miu?" The purple haired woman looked at Kiba then to his sister and with a smile replied
"It's nice to see you happy once and awhile also Kiba you might want to let your Ninken breath." Akamaru was turning purple from Kiba's grip squeaking Kiba planed him down. Akamaru now free from his master's grip walked over to the very large Tsuki and licked her face. The larger Ninken opened one of her teal eyes and gave Akamaru a small swat on his head. After watching the two play for a while Sora sent Kiba home saying she would be along. Miu watched as Kiba left turning to her friend she saw the dark look and knew where they were headed next.
Inoichi Yamanaka looked up as the door to his family's flower shop opened. The man was not surprised to see Sora and Miu walk in they've been doing this for 5 years after all. Inoichi pulled out a bundle of white carnations wrapped in black paper tied with a red string. He handed the flowers to Miu as Sora paid and wished them farewell.
The two girls and Ninken walked through the village streets it was close to seven the sun's rays were vanishing giving way to the moon. Arriving at their destination Sora slid the gate to the Uchiha clan's compound open. They first walked to the house where the main family lived and found someone waiting for them. Tsuki let out a happy bark and bounded over to Sasuke the boys hard look shattered and a smile appeared on his face
"Sora, Miu I see you came again this year I don't see why. We aren't family and you were on a team with Itachi you hold no obligation." Sasuke flinched as Sora playfully hit him.
"Family or not Miu and I spent just as much time here as we did with our own clans now come on." The five of then headed to the back of compound where the Uchiha clan's names had been placed along with the clans proud symbol. As Sora placed the carnations down she cursed her village and the elders. It was close to ten when the group said farewell Sasuke headed to his apartment Miu back to ANBU HQ and Sora to the Inuzuka clan.
A week went by Sora and Kakashi had been assigned a tracking and retrieval mission. It was going so well they found the thief and obtained the stolen scroll them the Iwanin found then. Kakashi was jumping around reading his book while the Iwanin barley Chūnin judging by their level where throwing Kunai at the Dog masked ANBU. Sora easily dispatched her foes and watched as Kakashi played with them.
"Dog stop playing around I want I go home." Kakashi turned to look at Sora's face which was a bad idea. One of the Chūnin got a lucky hit with a Shuriken and Kakashi stumbled. The ANBU placed his book into his Shuriken pouch.
"Well that wasn't very nice play times over." Sora rolled her eyes as Kakashi finally killed the last man and spoke.
"Finally let's go I can't be late." Kakashi was going to respond then his vision went blurry and he topped off the tree.
"Oi Dog hey can you hear me." Sora didn't get a response looking around she found the Kuni sniffing the end she swore.
"Fuck now Iwa are using poisoned Shuriken." Placing Kakashi down she looked over at Tsuki and opening her bag Sora pulled out a brush and paper. Writing a message for the Sandaime Sora placed it into a scroll and strapped to her Ninken.
" Tsuki I need you to go back to the village and give this to the Hokage be fast girl I'll be right behind you." Tsuki gave a bark and shoot off home. Sora placed her things back she knew that she wasn't strong enough to carry Kakashi all the way back to Konaha. Forming the needed hand signs and biting her finger she slammed her hand in the tree." Summoning jutsu!" A yellow wolf the size of a horse appeared with its head bowed.
" Sole I told you to stop that raise your head." The wolf did so and opened its eyes they were a shade darker than its fur closer to gold than yellow a red Konaha headband around its neck.
" Sole, Kakashi's been poisoned I need you to carry him back to Konaha while I watch for anymore Iwanin can you do that?" The wolf nodded and walking over Kakashi he turned to his mistress and spoke.
" Sora-Sama this is snake venom it belongs to Manda chef of the snake clan." Sora's face pulled into a frown she would have to speak with the Hokage about this.
" Thank You Sole we need to hurry I sent Tsuki along with a message for the Sandaime." After making sure Kakashi would not fall off Sole and the poisoned kunai was safety in a scroll the two quickly made their way back to the village.
Izumo and Kotetsu were talking at the gate when a flash of black and white shot past them as they stumbled back Izumo looked and could see the shape of Tsuki on the roofs
." Was that who I think it was and if so where is her partner." Kotetsu just shook his head there was a slight pause as he let out a shrill whistle and Anko appeared with an irritated look.
"What the hell do you two want I was eating some nice Dango this better be important." The two gate men looked at the other and Izumo spoke with in a hurried fashion.
"We need you to go get replacements for us we just saw Tsuki and no Sora if you see Rabbit tell her as well thanks." Without waiting for Anko's reply the two grabbed their weapons and headed out the gate. Anko let out a groan and biting her finger she slammed her palm in the ground.
"Summoning jutsu!" A small bird appeared and hopped around her feet Anko picked it up and whispered.
"Go find the ANBU Rabbit tell her Wolf may be hurt and she is to find her and make is fast," The bird nodded and flew off leaving Anko to find new gate guards. Miu was eating in a sweet shop when she felt something land on her shoulder. Looking up the girl saw the bird Anko had summed picking it up she listened to it's message. Miu payed the shop owner thanked the bird and headed out to find her stupid friend.
She found Izumo and Kotetsu rather fast seeing as the two Chunin where talking. Both froze at the sight of Miu but didn't say anything as all three people saw a glimpse of yellow and could see Sole. Miu shoot towards the bright yellow wolf and could see Sora right behind him. Miu could see Kakashi's still form the man still wearing his ANBU mask matching Soles speed Miu started talking.
" Sole what have you got so far I don't want waste time talking when we get back to the village." The large yellow wolf looked at Miu and thoughtfully responded.
" He's been poisoned by a Kunai dipped in the Mandas venom and we need to hurry so I can go back and get the herbs we need." Miu nodded and could see Izumo and Kotetsu talking to Sora behind her. They made it back to the village and headed straight to ANBU HQ. Tsuki's warring was successful seeing as Bull and Bird were waiting with a stretcher and med-team for them.
Sora slid to the ground as they took Kakashi to the Medbay Tsuki laying beside her Sole went back to his world saying he would need to be summoned within 15 minutes again. Izumo and Kotetsu were forced to return to the gate and Miu left with Kakashi. There was a tap on her shoulder as Sora opened her eyes turning her head she saw Cat.
" Sora come on we need to get you looked at as well." Sora glared but took Tenzō' hand for support none the less. Tsuki head butted Sora's thigh and the girl looked down and smiled.
"It'll be ok Tsuki come on let's go get yelled at by Miu." When the trio arrived down in the med bay Sora re summoned Sole and this time there was no wolf but a man. His hair was a golden yellow his eyes the same. The man was dressed in a yellow robe the with a pale yellow ribbon his pants the same color of his shirt and his shoes were black. He had a katana in a black sheath on his back the hilt a dark brown. The man walked over to Sora his face was serious as he sat her down. Sora looked irritated and as the man was digging through his pouch she spoke.
" Sole I summoned you for Kakashi not me tend to him first." Sole gave his mistress a half hearted glare but headed into Kakashi's room. Miu and Sole came out two hours later they looked tired but pleased. Miu took a seat to Sora's right while Sole pulled out a roll of bandages.
"Sora-Sama you need to learn to take care of yourself Ame will scold you again now let me see your arm." Sora's face pulled into a frown as she removed her mesh sleeves and flack jacket. Miu frowned there was a three inch gash hastily wrapped going down Sora's arm. As Sole started to in wrap and clean the wound Sora's attention turned to Miu.
"So how's Kakashi is he going to be ok?" Miu gave her friend a long look and smiled.
"Our captain will be fine thankfully Sole knew how to treat the wound he should be awake in a day or so and ready for duty in a month." Sora relaxed at that and her head hit the wall with a thunk. Miu and Tsuki both gave the girl worried glances then Sora's eyes opened.
" Hey Miu want to do me a favor and retrieve the scroll I got before we went on the Iwa mission?" The purple haired ANBU gave her friend a cross look but nodded. When Sora was sure Miu was gone she turned her gaze to Sole his piercing yellow eyes watching
."Thank you Sole once again you have saved my team. Now go home and rest also tell Ame not to worry." The man smirked and vanished in a poof of smoke. Miu came back five minutes later the purple scroll in her hands handing it I Sora she asked.
" So what's the mission our team never gets in village missions." As Sora read the mission she frowned and let out a very un ANBU like grown
"Miu where was this it's not the same mission." Miu shrugged her shoulders as she took a seat beside Sora.
" It was sitting in your dresser I looked around it was the only purple scroll in the room." As Sora re rolled the scroll she looked at Tsuki then at Miu and let out a very wolf like grin.
" Well Miu it seems when the Genin graduate instead of our captain getting a team I will." Miu syed at her friend and then started giggling.
"Oh Sora you're going to traumatize those poor kids. You said that was the wrong scroll what was in the other one?" Sora placed the mission in her shuriken pouch stood up and cracked her back.
" I got assigned to gate duty with Izumo. But it seems the Sandaime had other plans remind me to yell at Kakashi when he's better." As the two ANBU and Ninken headed to the canteen for food the winds of fate started to swirl.
