Satsuki POV
It has been 3 months and I have still not asked Kagami to marry me. I was going to tell him the day after I had my talk with the Hokage, but I bailed out. It wasn't entirely my fault as I couldn't have asked him to marry me just after he and Natsumi announced that they were going to get married. It would have definitely made me look desperate and Natsumi would have gone ballistic, thinking that I was just jealous and trying to steal him from her. I had figured that I would wait a couple of more months to ask him as I had years until the deadline so I didn't have to rush. Today was my first real mission and I can't be thinking of this right now, I have to focus on the mission. I vowed to tell Kagami right after this mission, it wouldn't do to tell him before or during it and have him get hurt because he was distracted thinking about it. All of a sudden I could see Kagami walk towards me and I wondered what he could possibly want from me. Kagami was nice to me and gave me a scroll to hold my things. I just mumbled a "thanks" trying my best to withhold my blush. I reminded myself that he only gave it to me because he was friendly and I was his teammate, not because he liked me that way. Kakashi sensei is finally here and we can get this mission started. This was the perfect chance to test my skills and see if all this training was going to make me strong enough to face 'him' in the future.
Natsumi POV
I am so happy that I finally get to go on my first real mission and the best part of it is that Kagami-kun is coming with me. I stopped packing to take a moment to appreciate my engagement ring. I had run into many women who acted jealous and asked about my ring, saying that it must be worth a fortune and that their husbands/lovers never got them anything beautiful like that. It made me feel warm inside that he would waste his the time to create this ring for me. I could tell that it took him a lot of time and effort because I could see a lot of details put into it and it had a fancy engraving inside saying 'I'll cherish you always'. This made my heart almost beat out my chest, I shook my head remembering that I was going to be late and started packing. He knocked on the door and I let him come in. Kagami-kun waited for me like the gentlemen that he was and ran with me to the village gates. When we got there I started feeling uncomfortable with the way Satsuki acted around Kagami-kun. These past couple of months I could see Satsuki give Kagami-kun those longing looks and she always acted shy and blushed around him. I didn't know what to think of it but I would have to keep a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't do something to Kagami-kun. My thoughts were interrupted when Kakashi sensei finally showed up and we left on our first mission.
We started tree hoping and I asked,"Kakashi sensei what is our mission?" There was an uncomfortable silence before he responded, "We are going to invade a camp of slave traders and our orders is to eliminate all of them and release the slaves." I gasped, there were slavers and we were ordered to kill them. Even though I hated what the slavers did to people I didn't want to kill them, or anyone else as a matter of fact. Kakashi saw the look on my face and said, "To be a shinobi is to put your feelings aside for your village and your life on the line defending it. The word shinobi means the one who endures and we are to the endure the burdens we may face for the good of our village." This took me by surprise. I didn't know Kakashi could be so philosophical. "If you really want to become the Hokage you will eventually have to kill in the name of the village in order to keep it safe and protect those that are precious to you." I nodded with all the determination I could muster and yelled, "yah, but when I become Hokage I'm going to change the world and make it to were no one kills each other anymore." I didn't see the surprised look that Kakashi made before he eye smiled and thought, 'maybe, just maybe you could do it Natsumi'
Kagami POV
Wow, Natsumi is already striving for world peace just like Naruto and it was Kakashi who set her up to it and not Jariah. I really didn't know what to think of it. While Natsume was my fiancé and I believed in her I didn't really believe in world peace. I don't want to get rid of her innocents so I'll just keep quite about my opinion and support her to the best of my abilities. Maybe she will be able to unite the 5 great villages earlier without the impending doom of Madara and the juubi hanging over their heads. We finally stop tree hoping to set up camp and I give a suggestion. "Why don't I make a small crystal house, it would be see-through so the enemy ninja won't spot it and it would it would protect us from surprise attacks." Kakashi looks at me, "show it to me and I'll decide if it's safe or not." I create a small cabin out of clear crystal and Kakashi knocks on it. "It feels sturdy enough, from now on you will do this on future missions, good job Kagami-kun." Kakashi cleared his throat, "Satsuki takes first watch, Natsumi second, Kagami third and I'll take last watch." The night went smoothly with nothing suspicious happening and I shattered my crystal house, and we started tree hopping again.
We tree hop for what seems to be 3 hours and Kakashi suddenly stopped," were near, stay here while I scout the area." We waited there for a bout 30 minutes before Kakashi came back. "The slave camp is here and there are approximately 2 missing ninja, 20 bandits and 5 hostages. Natsumi and Satsuki you'll take out the bandits and free the hostages, while Kagami and I will deal with the ninja. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, now lets move." We snuck quietly into the slave camp waiting for Kakashi to give the signal and heard an explosion. We ran into action and I appeared in front of a ninja with a scratched out Iwagakure headband and tried to stab him with a crystal spike. He used kawairmi with a bandit and grinned, "crystal release huh, you sell for a lot of money on the black market" I looked at the dead bandit and felt sick," How could you do that to your comrade? " He just laughed, "comrade, all these bandits are good for is canon fodder, other wise their just useless." I got angry with this, he had no regard for human life and I decided that the world would be a better place without him so I charged. We fought for a little bit before I decided to lower my resistance seals and surprised him with my increased speed. This caught him off guard and allowed me to appear in back of him and cut of his head with a crystal sword. Once I made sure that he was really dead I went to check on Natsumi and Satsuki.
Natsumi's POV
Satsuki and I were having an easy time with the weak bandits, making short work of them. Satsuki just finished the last one off, I was about to free the woman from the cages when a sword came out of nowhere and almost chopped my head off. I saw a guy with a scar over his right eye and a headband with the scratched symbol of Iwagakure. He leered at me and said, "I am going to have some fun with you before I kill you and your friends." I pushed my disgust to the side and made multiple clones to charge him and sent one to get Satsuki. He made short work of my clones and stated proudly "I am Jukkido Kirwati, former jounin of Iwagakure, what can a weak genin like you do t-" He was suddenly attacked by a large fireball and escaped with minor burns on his arms and legs. "You talk too much" Satsuki said in her arrogant voice. This made his face turn red in anger "how dare you hurt me, I'm going to kill you!" We all fought and it was pretty clear that he had the upper hand and when he was about to decapitate Satsuki, her eyes closed and snapped open showing red eyes with one tomoe. Suddenly she was able to avoid the attack and she stabbed him in the heart and he went up in a poof of smoke revealing a log. Before anything else can happen Kagami-kun appeared looking exhausted and asked," are you girls ok." The missing ninja chose that time to pop up out of the ground and prepared to stab a surprised Kagami-kun.
Kagami's POV
"Are you girls ok," I said exhaustedly? Before the girl could say anything someone suddenly popped up out of the ground and thrust their sword forward to stab me. All I could do was close my eyes and accept that I was going to die. How could I be such an idiot, I should have known better than to let my guard down in enemy territory? Kakashi sensei even told us to be aware of our surrounding about an hour ago. If this guy doesn't kill me I'm going to die in shame for being so stupid. As I was about to accept my fate I felt blood splash on my face and heard a gurgling noise. I opened my eyes and saw that my attacker was standing right in front of me with multiple chains going through his body. My attacker then fell to ground dead and the chains retracted themselves from his body and disappear into Natsumi.
