"I'm sorry Nakamura, but we have some bad news for you." The Hokage sighed and rested his head on his folded hands. Kyosuke stood there silently, wondering why the Hokage had called for him at such an early time. "The anbu leader's radio cut off when we tried to message her, so we've come to the conclusion that they might have been abducted by either one of the neighboring countries."

Kyosuke left eye twitched and he glanced at all of the cloaked men and women standing beside the Hokage's desk. "Oh, okay. So, you want me to go and find them or something?" He asked slowly, his eyes giving the cloaked people another weird look.

"Yes and no. We don't technically want you to go now, there are already others who went. I've actually called you here to tell you that your - um- girlfriend went to go after you and she never came back." Kyosuke's brain suddenly became alert and every muscle in his body froze with fear. He hoped that the Hokage was just pulling his leg, he hoped that Peorth would jump out of one of those cloak costumes and assure him that she was fine.

With the Hokage staring at him seriously and the cloaked people silently staring him down too, Kyosuke did the only thing a nineteen year old in an uncomfortable situation would do. He laughed. "Ha-ha! Oh man, you are so funny!" He exclaimed loudly, his laugh full of pain and false-humor. It soon faded away once he realized again that they were being serious. "Oh fuck my life," he groaned as he sat down on the carpet floor and put his head in his hands.

"I know this must be hard for you, but we will do everything we can to find her. Kyosuke's heart skipped a beat and his breath was caught in his throat. He looked up slowly, his eyes wide as he tried to breath again. "Look, everything is going to be ok-"

"No."

"Excuse me?"

"I said, no!"

Kyosuke stood up just as fast as he sat down and pointed at the Hokage. "Everything is not going to be okay! You have no idea how much Peorth means to me, so I can't just sit here wondering where the hell she is right now while your little team goes out to 'find' her." All of a sudden, he figured out how to breath again. And he was breathing hard.

He said, "Oh and if you haven't noticed, more than half of you goddamn anbu squad is missing, and you actually think sending more is a good idea? Who the hell even sends that many anbu for a fucking search party, huh? Have you ever thought about what would happen if this goddamn village was infiltrated?" He was on a roll and he didn't even think he could stop. Kyosuke was so angry that he kept on yelling and cursing while the Hokage just sat there, his face as stoic as his mountain sculpture.

When he was done, Kyosuke huffed and stomped out of the office without closing the door. Because he felt like being that much of an asshole. He wasn't going to listen to what the Hokage said, he loved Peorth and he was going to find her himself.

Then, all of a sudden, he stopped cold. If Peorth was gone, could it be because she ended up in the same place he went when he was coming here? No, he shook his head wildly. A few jounin looked at him strangely as he passed. I really hope it doesn't come to that, I don't even remember where I was when I was taken to that awful place. Kyosuke folded his arms and thought for a moment. Wait, that place, those people...

He had a feeling had forgot something, something that he should have been worried about. With a heavy sigh, Kyosuke turned back around and walked back into the Hokage's office. Even though he was gone for ten minutes, the Hokage's face looked as if Kyosuke just left a second ago. His face was still the same and he was sitting in the same position with the cloaked people standing around his desk, not moving a muscle.

"I knew you'd come back, Kyo," he said as he laid back in his chair. Kyosuke stood in the middle of the room and stared the man down, was he being serious? "And how would you know that?" He asked coldly as he ran a hand through his hair.

The Hokage smiled and chuckled quietly. "This isn't the first time you've lashed out and walked out," he stated simply. "If you haven't noticed, you always tend to come back, too." Kyosuke shook his head and sat back on the ground again, the Hokage really needed to get some chairs. "Fine whatever, I just came back here to see if you had anymore info on this subject. I mean, what are your thoughts?" The Hokage smiled and motioned for Kyosuke to come closer.

Kyosuke stumbled into Hina's house and closed the door. As he expected, the Hokage didn't know a lot about the situation at hand. He sighed and walked to the stairs, he was definitely going to save Peorth. But, he couldn't just go out and look in random places, he had to really think about this.

"Hey, how long have you been in the sun? You look like the community garden's tomatoes," a voice stated from the living room. Kyosuke sighed, he was apparently standing in front of the living room doorway. He turned to see Hina sitting on the couch with two boys who were both reading from a piece of paper.

"Who are these guys?" Kyosuke asked, completely ignoring Hina's previous comment. Hina looked back at the two who were now sitting on the couch, doing nothing while the paper laid on the table on top of an envelope. "They're my teammates, we just got a letter from our sensei and she wants us to meet her in one of the training grounds tomorrow. I think it was number thirteen or something."

"It was eleven," both boys said at the same time, not even looking up fro whatever they were busy doing. Kyosuke looked at the three and sighed, so that was what children resorted to doing during boredom. "So," he began as he walked in and sat down on the couch next to them. "Aren't there supposed to be our of you or something? I mean, those are the new rules, right?" The three of them sighed and moved around restlessly.

"Well, if you're talking about Kira, she's probably at her house or something. There's something weird about that girl anyway, so those two dupes were too scared to ask her to come over," Hina explained simply. "Oh well these two dupes didn't ask her to join us because if you had eyes you would have seen that that girl is completely unapproachable!" Shino exclaimed. Kyosuke rolled his eyes and propped his head on his left arm. "She's always alone, she has this weird resting face that looks like she's always disgusted with someone and I feel like she always judges me whenever I try to talk to her," Taken Ohshi whined.

"Oh wow, so interesting..." Kyosuke mumbled as he got up. "Hey, how about I get you guys ready for tomorrow? You know just in case your new sensei wants to test out your skills." He looked at the three expectantly as the all looked at each other as if they were talking to each other with facial expressions.

"Um, sure," Shino replied as they all got up and walked towards the front door with Kyosuke. Good, maybe this will help me think of a way to find Peorth, he thought to himself reassuringly. He opened the door and stepped outside with the three behind him. Or maybe this will make me forget about the pain I'm feeling right now.

Kyosuke followed the three to Hina's backyard and took off his jacket, setting it on a lawn chair. He strecthed, walked to the middle of the yard and sat down. "Alright, who's ready to begin?"
