Tayuya woke up the next morning with a note taped to her face. 'You have a mission with Kimimaro today. Come to Orochimaru for details. Leave Ukon alone. DON'T TELL HIM ABOUT THE MISSION. Signed, Kabuto.' "Finally, a mission," Tayuya grumbled as she stood up and got dressed. "It was about damn time."
Once she was dressed, Tayuya went into the kitchen to discover that Kimimaro had already gone to go meet Orochimaru. She could tell because the first one up made breakfast, and they used colour-coded bowls according to who was cooking. A white bowl held her Fruit Loops soaked in orange juice today. After devouring her favourite breakfast, Tayuya strolled over to Orochimaru's headquarters.
Orochimaru's Shack, as the Sound Six called it, or just The Shack, was a siginificant distace out of the village, which Tayuya had learned was because of the fact that traitors, spies and outsiders could sometimes be heard as they were experimented on. Tayuya entered the structure with a feeling of pride as she thought of how diligently her master protected the village.
"Hello, Tayuya," Orochimaru greeted her as she entered his 'throne room'. Tayuya immediately crouched on the floor, looking at the ground. "Orochimaru-sama," she replied. She stood up and nodded to Kimimaro, who was standing beside Orochimaru who began to speak. "You and Kimimaro are going on a mission today to our western border to fight some ninja who are trying to invade from there. I do hope that even though the nin are not Genin anymore, you can handle them?" "We will not disappoint you," Tayuya spoke clearly as she looked her master in the eye. Orochimaru smiled. Tayuya knew that it was a great honor to be allowed to see him smile, and that only the Sound Six and Kabuto usually ever saw it happen. "Very well, then. You may go," Orochimaru dismissed, and Tayuya and Kimimaro left the room together. "Well, are you ready for the mission? I loaded up before I left the damn house because I knew we were probably leaving the damn village. But are you sure you're okay so soon after recovery?" Tayuya interrogated. Kimimaro merely nodded and tied his Sound headband around his neck. Tayuya secured her own around her helmet. Most Sound nin only wore their headbands outside of the Village. Kidomaru had been one of the only exceptions.
"Tayuya, what is 'Chicken or Go?'" Kimimaro asked her once they were a ways out of the Sound. "It's a game where two people put their hands on a part of the other person's body. If you are placing your hand on a girl, you put your hand on her waist and on a boy, you use his knee. Then you get a choice of Chicken or Go. Go means you move your hand up their leg or body, and when you get high enough you grab either the girl's boob or the guy's dick. If you pick Chicken, you lose the game. The object of the game isnotto Chicken out," Tayuya explained. Kimimaro was quiet for a minute, then said finally, "I was going to pick that last night to see what it was, but after Rainbow I wasn't prepared for anything new."
Evening was approaching as Tayuya and Kimimaro reached their destination and they heard the voices from beyond the trees. "Do you think those dumb Sound Ninja even know we're here?" one of them asked. "Probably not, they're probably too busy kissing Orochimaru'scrotch to notice," another jeered. There was laughter from three people heard. Tayuya didn't even have to look at Kimimaro to know what he would want to do. Silently, they snuck up behind the trio and readied themselves. Kimimaro made himself a pair of bone katanas to use as Tayuya put her flute to her mouth and began to play. She watched the ninjas turned around to stare at the kunoichi and demon summon while Kimimaro vanished into the woods. 'Too late, shitheads,' she thought as Kimimaro took one out and her demon did the same. The lastshinobi fell to both blows. Tayuya walked up to the dying nin and spat on his body, yelling, "How's this for kissing ass, huh? Beg for your shitty life and I might give it to you." The nin looked up at her as he died, and the last thing he saw was Tayuya leaving, saying, "No, I'm just fucking with ya."
"That was too damn simple. Why did Orochimaru give us such an easy misson? Does he think we're gonna fuck everything else up or something?" Tayuya asked as they headed home later angrily. "I do not know," Kimimaro replied. For a long time, neither of them did anything, then Tayuya commented, "You did well today." To Tayuya's pleasure, this seemed to startle Kimimaro, who said, "You too," which, in turn,surprised Tayuya.
Tayuya remembered that comment as she slipped on her pyjamas, and slept well that night.

Yes, I was gone for a very long time. I apologize. Since I cannot respond to my reviews anymore, I will just say thank you for reviewing since each one is a source if inspiration.
I hope you all know how tempted I was to put Orochimaru saying, "I do hope that even though the nin are not Genin anymore, you can handle them, my sweets?" instead of what I actually put.
And, from last chapter, Promise-To-Repeat is when you repeat everything the other person says until they tell you to stop.
