I was walking in the forest with my team escorting a bridge builder named tazuna, real dick head if you Ask me...

~Flashback~

I went to the village gates with my bag packed and saw my team there and my sensei.

" so who are we supposed to be escorting anyways?" Shino asked.

"Well you'll see in a minute..." Kurenai sensei replies.

At that moment some drunken old man walks up to us and looks over each of us.

" so you're the team that's supposed to be protecting me? Some freak with bugs covering him, a boy with a stupid mutt, and a little girl who probably still plays with dolls."

Shino simply stood there brushing off the comment but kiba was raging.

"Who are you calling a mutt?!"

"Certainly not the dog... He meant you" I replied cheekily. I mean sure I was pissed with the comment he gave me but he insulted kiba... So he's good in my books...

"So you are Tazuna the bridge builder" Kurenai sensei asked, more like stated.

"Yes, and you will protect me with your lives!"

Kiba huffed and followed the rest of our team out the village gates.

~End Flashback~

So now we are walking... And it's very boring- WHAT? Oh you have got to be kidding me...

I looked down and saw that I had walked in a puddle... Crap. Wait, a puddle... But it hasn't rained in days... It should be gone by now... Oh shit

"KURENAI-SENSEI"

As soon as the words escaped my mouth 2 ninja came out of the puddle and wasted no time on attacking us.

Shino and kiba jumped back to protect tazuna, but I stayed up front to attack. Kurenai was kicked back into a tree by a 3rd ninja that was hiding.

I ran forward to attack one of the ninja. I performed a couple of hand signs

"Fire Style: Fire Lotus Jutsu!"

Just then fire shaped as a flower came out of the ground and swallowed the ninja. He was taken cared of so i turned the the other 2 ninja. Just then Kurenai came out and knocked out the 2 ninja.

"Kiba and shino good job, and burukku! great job! You protected your team mates and tazuna! You took control of the situation when you realized the team leader was gone!"

I smiled to myself and turned to walk back to my teammates. Kiba looked at me.

"Good job, not bad for a 'pet'."

I balled your hands into fists. Kiba just wouldn't shut up! Especially when I saved the team.

"Let's move on now"

I followed kurenais orders and continued.

~time skip~

Kurenai talked to tazuna and he put us on a guilt trip, now we are here at the land of waves, we just got off the boat actually.

"Well tazuna your almost home" kiba commented

Just then a snow rabbit jumped out if the woods. Awe cute :3!

Kurenai sensei froze "EVERYBODY DOWN!"

Kurenai pulled tazuna down and shino dropped and kiba pushed me down and landed on top of my back. Just then a sword flew over our heads and a tall muscular man with cow leg Warmers landed on it.

"Hand over the old man and no one gets hurt"

"No way we have a mission and we won't back down!" I shouted to the man.

"Shhh Burukku are you trying to get yourself killed!?" Kiba clamped his hand over my mouth.

"You know Hun, you should listen to your boyfriend more" the man said

I got an irk mark on your head.

"Zabuza, leave" Kurenai spoke sternly to the man

In an instant he jumped towards Kurenai, both of them throwing punches and kicks.

Shino instantly took over and shouted "MANJI FORMATION!"

We all got in position, unfortunately Kurenai wasn't as strong as zabuza and easily got caught in his water prison.

"You see you're all useless brats who can't even save their sensei, you call yourselves ninja, but you can't even save those who are closest to you!"

Zabuza was going too far and I wasn't having it. I ran at him with kunai in hand. He sent a water clone at me and I cut it down! but little did i know there was another one behind me! I turned around and got struck down. He put his foot on my stomach, and pushed down... Hard!

I looked over to my teammates and they were both looking At me with horror, but kiba also had rage in his eyes. I looked back to zabuza to see him raise his sword and then he swung down. I closed my eyes, waiting for the pain... But it never came. I looked up to see kiba, the only thing blocking the sword from coming crashing down on my head. He was holding it off with a kunai.

"You will not hurt my teammates!" Kiba shouted.

He kicked zabuza clone in the stomach and sent the clone flying through some trees. He turned around to me and held out his hand. When I grabbed it he pulled me up into a hug

"Stupid pet! Don't ever do that again! I almost lost you"

Strangely enough I didn't mind kibas embrace. It was warm and welcoming and safe. I wanted to stay there forever. But it didn't last too long for zabuza ruined the silence

"Well well, that boy is stronger than I expected..."

Another clone ran us both, and we weren't prepared...

Just then a girl about our age jumped down in front of us. The clone stopped. The girl looked up

"Zabuza, I have been looking for you for a long time... What are you doing picking on a couple of kids? Looks like you've gotten more pathetic..."

The girl had red hair In a pony tail, and blue eyes.

"Hmmph hello Ria, I see you still haven't given up on trying to assassinate me"

Zabuza said with a small chuckle

Ria smirked and turned to us

"Hi! I'm Ria kurōkami, part of the great land of snow assassin squad! Best one there is! Hope he didn't rough you up too much!"

She said with a big grin. We shook our head still in shock. She winked at us and turned to zabuza with a sadistic smile. she ran at him with a katana charged with electricity. They shared a few blows except he barely landed any on her, while she was doing the job on him. After a few minutes of this she jumped in the air and performed a hand sign

"ICE STYLE: CRYSTAL BARRAGE!"

Just then thousands of ice crystals shot at him covering him like senbon, then slowly he started to freeze and frost covered him. She landed on the ground and picked up the body of frozen zabuza.

"Well thanks everyone for being such a great audience, but I gotta go! Y'know, bring this back to dispose of"

She winked at us and snow blew around her and she disappeared. Kiba still had his arms around you in a protective hold when you looked up at him.

"Uh, you can let me go now.."
