Chapter 26: The Unexpected Call
It was a nice day in Konoha. However everyone was incredibly busy. Lots of ninjas were eighter on missions or training. BTMM were no aception. They were all training hard. Iruka got them a mission around noon. A simple D-ranked mission to help an old lady carry her groceries. But the mission was a lot more stressful than they had bargained for. The old woman was pissing Botan, Mea, and Taij off and going beyond pissing Mego off behind Iruka's back. By calling Mego 'Demons Whore' and 'Fox Tramp.' Everyone was fighting the urge to kill the woman. Taij took off her glasses and bit on the end of them to refrain from screaming the woman to death, if that's possible. The woman turned to make another comment to Mego but was greeted with Taij's fiery red eyes ready to kill. The woman gasped and continued at a faster pace.
Once all the groceries were in her house and Iruka got the money from her they began to walk away. The woman glared at the group and stated, "Nine-tails Bitch."
That did it.
BTMM exploded. And if it weren't for Iruka's advanced ninja speed they would have killed the woman. Iruka, then, told them to meet him at the training grounds. (lets just say they have they're own little section of the training grounds). He apologized to the woman for his teams 'rudeness.'
"Damned girls need to learn respect!" she shouted and slammed the door in Iruka's face.
(W/ BTMM)
"Now," Iruka began calmly, but the calmness didn't last. "You will never do that again! YOU ARE EMBARRISING YOURSELF AND RUINING YOUR REPUTATIONS AS NINJAS. THAT PERFORMANCE DISGRACED TEH NINJA WAYS. IF I HADN'T STOPPED YOU THEN WERE WOULD WE BE? I KNOW THAT'S NOT WHAT I'VE TAUGHT YOU! Your punishment will not be taken lightly. To begin, gt on the ground and do 250 push ups. Then you'll run 50 laps. Next, 100 crunches, and to top it off 500 jumping jacks. Now, MOVE IT!"
BTMM hit the ground. At the end their arms were ready to fall off. Sometime in the middle of the push ups Kurinia had saw what Iruka was making BTMM do. She herself had just sent er team home. When BTMM had finished their push ups Kurinia assumed they were done but boy was she wrong. She watched from a tree as they ran laps. On about the 25th lap Kakashi noticed Kurinaia in the tree and jumped next to her.
"Yo, what's up?" he asked.
"I never knew Iruka gave such training to the girls."
"Well, it's really none of our business they're his students not ours. But what do you mean?"
"Well for the first 45 minutes I noticed them doing push ups and now they've ran about 30 laps."
"Hmmm."
When BTMM were done with their laps both their arms and legs were numb. But never the less they got on their backs and slowly began their crunches.
"Jeez, i see what you mean." Kakashi commented.
After another hour Kurinai asked Kakashi how many crunches they had done.
"About 70 or 80."
"Why are you two hiding in a tree?" came a voice. they turned to see Gai.
"Just observing the genin train."
"Hmmmm, YOUTHFUL TRAINING! Why are they moving so slow?"
"Because I've been watching them like this for about 3 hours."
Gai was silent. BTMM had finally finished the evil crunches and strikingly got up and attempted jumping jacks. Each was dripping in sweat and were beyond tired.
"Aren't they done YET?" Kurinia wondered out loud.
"It would appear not."
"Unyouthful."
BTMM attempted jumping jacks again but the result was Taij, Mego, and Mea falling on they're knee's and Botan on her butt. Iruka, who had been doing one handed push ups, walked up to them and said,
"I'm sorry. I don't want you all to push yourselves too hard. You can all go home and no training tomorrow." Everyone looked at Iruka with bewildered eyes. He looked at Botans fatigued crimson, to Taij's lillywhite, to Mego's exusted sapphire, and Mea's extremely tired green eyes.
"Really?"
"Hai." They jumped up and hugged Iruka.
"Arigato, arigato, arigato Iruka-sensei."
Kurinia, Kakashi, and Gai were puzzled.
"And I'll treat you all to ramen tomorrow."
"Spicy!"
"Awesomnessess!"
"YAY! RAMEN!"
"Whatever."
Were all of BTMM's reactions.
"What was that all about?" Kurenai hissed.
"I'll go find out and tell you later." Kakashi volunteered. He went up behind Iruka. BTMM had walked home.
"Yo, Iruka."
"Hey Kakashi."
"Those girls like training that much?" he pulled out his book.
"(sigh) I think I may have pushed them too hard."
"What happened?"
"They tried to kill our client. All of them. I mean I've seen Botan and Taij get into some random fights but I've never seen Mego OR Mea behave like that."
"Who was it?"
"Old Lady Ketsu. They wouldn't tell me what happened. I never thought they'd push themselves to utter exhaustion."
"They respect you more than yo think."
"If you say so."
"Well I got o go. I'm late."
"Big surprise there."
Kakashi walked over to Kurinia.
"So what happened?"
"They attacked or rather tried to attack Mrs. Ass. She was their client."
"Kakashi don't you think the Genin get in enough trouble calling her that? Wait, why'd they attack her?"
"They wouldn't say."
"Well it had to be something major to set those girls off. I mean I know Botan and Taij get into some fights, but I haven't heard of Mego or Mea."
"I agree."
When BTMM got home they all collapsed on their beds. Luckily the next morning Mea got up first and got the shower first. Unfortunately Botan, Taij, and Mego woke up while she was in the shower and fought over who would take a shower next.
Later they met Iruka for the ramen he promised them. While they ate Mego was unusually silent.
"whats wrong, Mego?" Iruka asked.
"Nothing." she sighted.
'Mego must be depressed about what the hag said yesterday.' Botan, Taij, and Mea all thought.
"Don't say that. Is it about what happened yesterday?"
Mego shrugged, "Maybe."
"Tell me."
"I'm gonna go find Naruto." Mea left.
"Mego wait." Iruka told her. "come with me. I'll be right back."
They waked a few yards away.
"Now, tell me what happened."
Mego took a breath and was about to explain when Naruto ran up to them.
"Iruka-sensei!"
"What is it Naruto?"
"Hokage-bachan wants to see you and BTMM."
"Alright." Iruka went back and paind for the ramen.
"WHAT? IRUKA-SENSEI YOU GOT RAMEN AND DID'T TELL ME!"
"Oi, Naruto."
They all headed towards the hokages.
"I'll get right to the point. I received a complaint that you attempted to attack a client."
"WHAT?" Naruto gasped.
"Hai." BTMM admitted.
"Why?"
no answer.
"Don't make me ask again."
"I'll tell you if Naruto and Iruka-sensei leave the room." Mego told her.
"Iruka, Naruto go."
"But," Naruto tried to argue.
"comm'on Naruto." Iruka dragged him out of the room.
"Now tell me what happened."
"e were completing the mission when the old woman fond out that me and Naruto were really good friends and she made some inapropriate comments."
"Thats an understatment." Taij hissed.
"Honestly." Botan added.
Mea nodded.
"What kind of comments?"
Mego looked toward Botan, Taij, and Mea.
"She called me, she,"
"She called Mego, 'Demons Whore.'" Botan said. Taij continued. "'Fox Tramp.'" "and 'Nine-tails bitch.'" Mea finished.
Tsunade was shoked for a moment.
"I'll take car of this you can all go." After Tsunade explined what happened to Iruka they all left. Mea left to find Gaara, however Botan, Taij, Mego, Naruto, and Iruka continued walking. Soon they ran into Kakashi and sasuke, and continued walking. Then Taij's phone rang.
íbla bla bla bla!
"Mushi Mushi?" she answered it.
"Taijiya? Is that YOU?"
"Hai."
"Were in the hell are you!"
"M-m-MOM?"
"Yes, were the hell are you?"
"I-I-I'm in japan."
"Japan? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THERE?"
"I fell through the T.V."
"I find that hard to believe."
"It's TRUE!"
"Bull shit! I don't care at the moment are okay?"
"I'm fine. Me, Botan, Mea, and Mego are all fine."
"Do you know how worried we all are about you? This is the only time your phone's went through, in months!"
"Mom, I'm really sorry. I've missed you and dad and everyone!" Taij was on the brink of tears. Everyone notice this.
"Taij, are you okay?" Iruka asked.
"Who's that? TAIJIYA!"
"Mom, its alright. He's our sensei."
"Did he kidnap you? What's sensei? Japanese for kidnapper!"
"NO! NO Mom! He didn't kidnap us!"
"I'll kill him! I'll I'll!"
"MOM! He didn't kidnapp us!"
"Then what is he?"
"He's been looking out for us and teaching us."
"If he's hurt you or threated you I'll kill him wiht my bare hands. YOu tell him that if-"
"MOM! Your not listening! I'm sorry I miss you, and love you but I also respect my sensei! So please don't say things like that!"
"Who do you think your talking to little girl?"
Taij threw the phone and ran home. Iruka ran after her and Mego picked up teh phone.
"TAIJIYA! TAIJIYA! ARE YOU THERE? ANSWER ME!"
"Umm, Mrs. Youngblood. Taij ran off. I'll tell her to call you back."
"Mego? Mego NOVA YOU ANSWER ME RIGHT NOW! MEG-"
Mego hung up the phone. Then everyone took off after Taij and Iruka. When Taij got home she burst through the door and locke herself in the bathroom.
"Taij." Botan complained. "Get your sorry ass out of there."
"No, just wait your parents'll be calling soon too, now." And as if on cue Mego's phone rang.
"Hello?...MOM?" They heard yelling at the other end of the pnoe, then scilence.
"Shit, I lost service."
Then Botan's phone rang.
"Ello?...Dad?...We're fine...I don't know...Yes...I don't know...Yes we're all safe...Dad I'm losing service. I love ya, tell mom I love her and miss you both... And there went my service."
Taij came out of the bathroom.
"They'll neve rbelieve us." She rambled. "They think we're all crazy."
"Taij you sound crazy!" Mego stated.
"Maybe I am. MAYBE WE ALL ARE! THIS COULD ALL BE A DREAM. SOME TWISTED MESSED UP DREAM! I need to think."
Taij left. While walking she ran into Irua.
"Hey, Iruka-sensei."
"Your early." Taij eyed him.
"You are NOT Iruka-sensei." she stated whipping out a kunai.
"Who are you?"
He glared at her.
"You'r right, I'm NOT Iruka."
