"HALT! What business do you have in Kirigakure?" a tough looking guard asked Tenten and Lee when the approached the gate two days after they had left Konoha.
"We are from the village of Konoha," Tenten informed the guard.
"From the country fo fire," Lee added.
"We have an important mission here to watch after the Mizukage's child while they are away for a year," Tenten said when the guards did not answer them.
"Oh, yes, of course. We were told that we should be expecting you two. I will take you to see the Mizukage. Walk this way, please," the guard said as he marched in through the gates. Tenten followed behind him and Lee attempted to copy the way the guard was walking since he said to 'walk this way', but was having a difficult time doing so and quickly fell behind. The guard and Tenten stopped when they realized Lee was not with them and Tenten went over to Lee and slapped him in the back of the head, saying, "HE MEANT FOR YOU TO FOLLOW HIM!"
"Oh, right!" Lee said as he blushed a bit from embarrassment and continued to follow the guard and Tenten.
The guard took them all through town, and it was at that time that Lee and Tenten saw how different Konoha and Kirigakure were. Lee and tenten had always known Kirigakure had less money than Konoha, but they had no idea it was this bad. Families were begging for food and money on the sides of streets, something you never saw in Konoha. Lee and Tenten got depressed just looking at them all, and so they just stared at the ground as they walked until they got to the opulent palace that the Mizukage and his family were living in. One look at that palace and you would have never expected that any of this village's people were starving. It wasn't that the palace was big, it was far from it. Even though it was fairly small, it was still painted and decorated beautifully and there were beautiful gardens and fields alla round the palace. Tenten and Lee had never seen so many flowers in their lives.
"Stay here while I inform the Mizukage that you are here," the guard ordered as he entered a sliding door and closed it behind him. Tenten and Lee just stared in awe at the beauty that was around them.
"Can you believe how beautiful this place is, Lee?" Tenten asked as she walked to the back of the house to find another field and a dock at the end of the field.
"It's amazing," Lee agreed. Tenten walked over to the dock and looked out at the clear blue water, Lee following behind her.
"I can't believe we actually get to live here for a year!" Tenten squealed excitedly.
"Yeah, it doesn't seem like too bad of a place. I'm actually looking forward to staying here, now," Lee said thoughtfully.
"YOU TWO! The Mizukage will see you now," the guard yelled form the house. Lee and Tenten ran quickly up to the house and went through the sliding door that the guard held open for them. He closed the door as soon as they were both inside.
"Please, sit down," a man who was sitting behind a desk said as he motioned to the chairs in front of him. Lee and Tenten did as they were told and sat down.
"I am told that you are the two ninjas who were sent from Konoha to help us," the Mizukage stated. Lee and Tenten simply nodded their heads.
"I am sure that you have been briefed on what is going on, but I am going to inform you once more just to make sure that nothing was left out. Orochimaru is planning to assassinate me very soon, and the rest of the village feels that it is not safe for me to stay here. So, my wife and I are going to be traveling around incognito so Orochimaru does not find us. Obviously, we can not take my four month old son, Kiyoshi, with us, since he will give away our position if he cries and he will slow us down. That's where you come in. Konoha has wanted to become allies with us for a long time, and I figured that this would be the perfect chance for them to prove themselves worthy. I have heard that Konoha's ninjas are very skilled, so I assume that you will be okay with protecting my son and caring for him. It is up to the two of you to seal the alliance between your village and mine. Do you understand?" the Mizukage asked. Lee and Tenten nodded their heads to show they understood.
"Good," the Mizukage said as a woman came in.
"Dear, I think it is best we leave now," I woman, who Tenten and Lee assumed was the Mizukage's wife, said.
"All right. I was just explaining to the Konoha ninjas how important this mission is for them," the Mizukage explained.
"Oh, they're here? Wonderful! Come with me, you two, and I will take you to meet our son, Kiyoshi," the woman said as she ushered Tenten and Lee out of the room and back outside. She brought them through another door which revealed a hallway. They walked to the end of the hallway and opened the last door on the right, revealing a nursery with a crib pushed up against the farthest wall. As soon as the woman closed the door again, the baby in the crib began to cry.
"Shh, shh, it's okay, Kiyoshi. Mommy's here. Look, I want you to meet the people who will be taking care of you for a year," the woman said as she gently picked the child up. The words seemed to soothe the child as he stopped crying and stared intently at Tenten when the woman gave him to her.
"This is Auntie...I'm sorry, I don't think I got either of your names," the woman said.
"Auntie Tenten," Tenten finished for the woman as she looked down at the child in her hands, "And this is Uncle Lee," Tenten said with a small laugh. The baby continued to stare at Tenten, and Tenten stared right back. She had never actually held a real baby before, because she was never interested in kids and she decided she never wanted to have any. But this baby was starting to make her rethink that. He was adorable, with his short brown hair and large, brown eyes that never looked away from Tenten's face. After a few more seconds of staring, he smiled and wrapped his arms around Tenten's neck, as if he was trying to comfort her for some reason. Tenten stiffened when he did this, unsure of what to do. The woman smiled and took the child from Tenten and handed him to Lee. Lee smiled at the boy and began making faces at him, making Kiyoshi laugh.
"Well, it looks like he likes you a lot already," the woman said with a laugh as she put the child back in his crib. The three exited the room and went back outside, where they found the Mizukage waiting with their traveling bags.
"Now, I've taken care of Kiyoshi for tonight already, so all you need to do tonight is change him and then he'll be fine until tomorrow. I wish I could stay and explain to you everything you need to know to take care of him, but we can't stay any longer, so I've left a list of everything you need to know on the kitchen table. The guard who brought you here will show you where all of the rooms are, and you can always ask him for help if you get lost in the village. Thank you two so much for doing this! Give Kiyoshi our love!" the woman said quickly before they began off on their year long trip.
"Guess we're on our own now," Tenten said as she leaned against the wall and looked out across the field and dock at the water and the moon.
"Yep. That baby seems very calm, so I don't think he'll give us too much fo a problem," Lee said.
"Yeah, he's really cute. He's actually making me think that maybe I do want to have children one day," Tenten revealed.
Lee smiled and said, "You should have children one day, Tenten. I'm sure they would be beautiful, just like you!" Tenten blushed and thanked him and quickly told him that she would change Kiyoshi for the night while the guard showed him around the house. Lee agreed to this and went with the guard to the front of the house while Tenten went inside and prepared to change the baby.
As the guard showed Lee the two rooms where he and Tenten would be staying, they heard a loud scream from another part of the house. Particularly, where the nursery was located. Lee quickly ran towards the nursery as fast as he could, recognizing the scream as Tenten's, and the guard followed behind. When he reached the nursery he slammed the door opened and asked, "WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED? ARE YOU GUYS IN TROUBLE?"
Tenten turned around to face him, and Lee noticed that her shirt had wet spots all over it, and some of her face was wet, as well.
"Never mind what I said about having children one day. Never do I want to have any! They are disgusting little PEE MONSTERS!" Tenten screamed as she grabbed a paper towel and wiped the pee off of her face. Lee just started to laugh as he closed the door to the nursery and went back to see the rest of the house with the guard, leaving a fuming Tenten.

Baby Log Number One (A/N Baby Logs will ALWAYS be written by Tenten, unless stated otherwise)
The first encounter with the little MONSTER went well. Kiyoshi (that's the little devil's name) acted really sweet and innocent, ACTED being the key word here. I will admit, he is very cute, and his little sweet and innocent act made him seem even cuter. Cute enough that I actually considered having children one day! It was the second encounter that helped me learn what a devious little creature he is. I told Lee that I would change him while he looked at the rest of the house, and he agreed. So, I went in and took off his diaper and began cleaning him, and when I lifted him up to throw the dirty diaper out, he pulled on my BANGS! And it wasn't just a playful little tug, it was HARD! I thought he was going to pull my hair out of my head! When I finally got him to let go of my hair, I got the clean diaper out and placed him on it. As I was about to put it on him, he started peeing right on ME! All over my shirt and my face and even in my HAIR! I went to the private baths afterwards (they have a private bathhouse here right in their backyard! How cool is that? Lee and I have to share though, because they only have one combined one, but I think I can deal with that. We'll just take turns.) Anyways, I went to the private baths and stayed in there for at least a half hour to get the stench off. I think you can still smell it a bit, though, because when I put the towel around me when I got out of the showers I immediately searched for Lee to ask him if I smelled like pee. He just got all red for some reason and looked at the ground before mumbling a no and running into his room! Ugh, I'm going to smell like baby pee for the rest of my life if every single day with this little monster is like this! I will NEVER have children! It isn't worth it!

So, what did you think of Lee and Tenten's first encounter with Kiyoshi? There will be a baby log at the end of almost every chapter from now on, and they will all reflect what happened with or without the baby through the day. Basically, they will just reflect Tenten's thoughts on the day's events, since she is the one writing in the baby log. Hope you liked this chapter! Please review and let us know what you thought!
