Key:"Talking"

(This key will be updated as the story continues.)

Reiko no Tori: Thanks for giving me my first review ever! xD. And, don't worry, I will!

First Mission?

"Your aim is off! Again!" shoutedHakumei Genji. He glared at the exhausted 4 year old as she attempted to stand up, but failed miserably and collapsed onto the ground. She trembled as she closed her eyes in pain. "GET UP." He grabbed her arm and pulled her up, straining her shoulder. She yelled out in pain. "I will not tolerate failure, Mikiko. Do it again." he hissed.

Squinting her eyes in concentration, she got into the stance to throw the shuriken. In a fluid motion, she let them loose towards the 3 targets on the tree 5 yards in front of her. She counted in her head as they hit. '1...on the mark...2...bulls-eye...3...oh, shit,' Miko cursed under her breath before Genji had growled and slapped her across the face. She flew back a few feet and landed painfully on her side. Genji crossed his arms and scowled at the little figure on the ground.

"Next time I won't accept anything other than perfection. You will have no dinner. Come to my office later for your punishment." And he left. Mikiko rolled onto her back and stared at the sky. It was dark and cloudy. A few moments later a light shower blanketed the misty village of Kiri, but Mikiko didn't move. Closing her eyes, she sighed, thinking about the punishment she was to endure as the raindrops fell onto her unmoving body. From the room to her left a piercing scream shattered the peaceful day and her mind's eye the sky started to cry out droplets of blood.

"Miko-chan, wake up." She screamed and thrashed in her bed.

"No! Get away! I didn't do anything wrong!" Tsuki looked at her sister, eyes widening. She snatched the blanket off of her body, revealing a trembling girl curled up in a ball. Mikiko's eyes opened slowly as the tears threatened to escape her eyes. The older twin let out a sigh of relief as she woke up.

"Miko...are you okay?" Still trembling, she got up from her fetal position and rubbed the tears out of her eyes.

"It...was that dream again."

"Oh..."

Giving her little sister a comforting smile, she helped her out of the bed and get ready for the new day. "Try not to think about it...besides, we have our first mission today!" Tsuki grinned widely. Miko couldn't help but smile a little too at her sister's excitement.

They arrived at the Mission center to find Riku already there, leaning against the wall beside the entrance. Noticing the twins, he waved and smiled.

"'Morning you guys...hey, Mikiko-chan, you okay?" His gaze froze on her tired purple eyes as she waved it off.

"I'm okay. I just didn't get enough sleep...," Riku frowned, not really buying the excuse. When she gave him a little smile he shrugged it off and watched the sun rise.

Right as a yellow ray of light shot through the sky, Katsu "poofed" in front of them. Riku and Tsuki coughed in the smoke that he had made as they waved it away. Mikiko grimaced. Sweat dropping, Katsu laughed a little.

"Ah, sorry." Riku scowled and crossed his arms while Tsuki just frowned. "Anyways, you guys ready for your first mission?" At the mention of the word "mission", Riku and Tsuki started smiling and nodding their heads furiously, their eyes twinkling at their sensei as they clasped their hands together. Chuckling, he lead the way inside, towards the Mizukage and his chuunin assistants in another room.

They sat behind a long desk which was covered with red, blue, yellow, and black labled scrolls. When they entered, Hoshigaki Satomaru, the current Mizukage, looked up from the scrolls and smirked at his son's students and their expressions at all the scrolls.

"First mission, eh Katsu? What type are you looking for today?" Katsu approached the desk and looked at one of the yellow scrolls.

"Let me see some of those D-class missions, Satomaru-sama..." Nodding, he gave him one as his students crowded behind him, trying to get a look at the scroll. Katsu's eyes wandered over the different missions as he pondered over which one he should give his students. 'No...this one's too easy. Hmm. Not this one either. Aha! Perfect!' he thought as he smiled, giving the scroll back, pointing to one of the missions.

"This one..." Satomaru looked at it and couldn't help but grin.

"If you say so..."

Behind Katsu, Riku and Tsuki were anxious to receive their mission. Mikiko, however, was suspicious of the curious behavior of the two adults. 'What is he planning for us...?' but before she can think about it anymore, Katsu turned around with a smile. Miko raised a brow but otherwise didn't say anything.

"Alright! Let's all go to the outskirts of the village, by the edge of the forest. Then, I'll tell you what our mission is." The threesome shot some questioning looks, but quickly shook it off and followed their smiling sensei. Jumping from roof to roof, Riku spoke to Mikiko in a hushed voice as Tsuki listened.

"Hey, hey...what kind of mission do you think can make him this happy?" he whispered. Mikiko sighed as she shook her head.

"I dunno...it can't be good though. Since it's a D-class it'll be boring and annoying..." Riku groaned. Tsuki spoke up as they all jumped off of the last building in their path.

"He did say that he liked working kids like us to death." Riku and Tsuki shuddered a little, as their imaginations took over and they thought of cleaning up the forest and other brain nulling missions.

"Stop daydreaming and pay attention." Katsu turned around and faced his students as they stood in front of the forest's edge. "For today's mission we'll be looking for a lost pet. Its owner is the daughter of an important business owner in Kiri. The pet is a little green and yellow parakeet what flew into the forest. It has a red ribbon around it's neck. We have until sundown to find it." Riku gaped.

"So, you're asking us to find a little green bird in a big misty forest in less than 12 hours?" Katsu nodded.

"Yeah, that's about right." The three groaned a little as they were handed little headphones to communicate with each other. "Oh, and by the way," his students looked up, "you won't be getting any help from me."

"WHAT?"

After 5 hours of searching with no luck, all of them sat together in a clearing deep inside the forest surrounding the Mist village for lunch. Mikiko unpacked 3 box lunches from the back pack she was carrying around and handed one to Riku and Tsuki. The boy muttered a thanks as he opened up his lunch and let out an awe struck

"Holy shit!".

Inside was some rice with a few California rolls and other various sushi along with some chicken. Tilting his head at the combination of food, he looked up at the twins as Tsuki took out a thermos and poured out some tea for them all.

"Who made this? Tsuki, did you make this?" She laughed hard as she nearly dropped the tea. Clutching her stomach with the other hand, she calmed down enough to answer him.

"Me? Are you crazy? I would've burned that sushi!" He sweat dropped.

"But it's sushi."

"Exactly!"

"I made it," Mikiko said sighing, "because Tsuki can't cook. Period." Riku laughed a little, earning him a scowl from Tsuki.

As they continued eating in a peaceful silence, a piercing chirp erupted from a branch in the tree they were eating under. Mikiko looked up at the bird and gasped. The others stopped eating and followed her gaze. They gaped and pointed.

"IT'S YOU!" In the tree was a little green and yellow feathered parakeet with a red ribbon around its neck.

Riku jumped up, successfully spilling hot tea over the twins, who cringed from the sudden heat. Mikiko glared, but got up as well, helping Tsuki get up. They shared a look and jumped up onto the tree, towards the bird. It chirped and fluttered its wings, as if mocking them. Riku's eye started to twitch as he clenched his teeth together in annoyance.

"Little bas-"

"Riku, don't scare the thing," whispered Miko as she climbed up the tree, holding out some rice. "Here little birdy..." Suddenly shrieking, it flew off towards the edge of a small stream. Riku had a smug expression on his face.

"Now look who's scaring it?" Scowling, she jumped off the tree. The others did the same. "So now what?" he asked. Mikiko bit her lip as she thought of a plan. She smacked her forehead when she realized something.

"Why didn't I see this before? Tsuki, we can use our bloodline limit."

She smacked her forehead as well. "ACK! I forgot!"

"Bloodline limit...?" he threw a questioning look at the twins.

"It's a special ability passed down from parent to child that cannot be copied, even by the Sharingan users from Konoha." she explainedperfectly mimicking their boring Academy teacher, who always used that droning boring voice. He snickered a little, but nodded his head.

"So what do the Hiroshima's limit do anyways?"

"With a few simple hand seals,"Mikiko demonstrated by forming them, "we can manipulate any liquid to our will. Also, it cuts the use of chakra on suiton jutsus in half, even when our bloodline limit isn't activated." Tsuki nodded as Riku imagined Mikiko suffocating him in a water bubble around his head. He shuddered, but nodded. Mikiko beckoned them into a circle and she whispered the plan to them.

"Silent One to Red Eyes, are you in position?" Mikiko crouched in a tree across the stream.

"I'm in position. Over." Riku was pressing his back against the tree near the bird. He kept out of it's range of sight.

"Ramen Lover to Silent One. I'm in position. Proceed with the plan, over." She crouched down wind of the bird, about 5 yards away, as to not scare it.

"Right. Get ready to go in 3..."

"2..." counted Riku under his breath.

"1...GO!" squealed Tsuki as she and Mikiko quickly started forming a few hand seals.

"Rikkido Soujuu!"

A rope made out of water shot out of the stream and wrapped itself around the bird's wings. Tsuki smiled. "Phase 1 complete!"

Mikiko was holding her hands in the hand seal used to concentrate chakra as she focused on her role in the plan. A big ball of water rose out of the stream as it stretched into a little birdcage. She smirked and started to form other hand seals as the bird cage levitated in the air.

"Senkou hyouketsu no jutsu!" Taking a deep breath, she mixed chakra with the air in her lungs and exhaled a cloud of mist, which enveloped the water cage and froze it. Catching the cage, she headed towards Tsuki, who was concentrating on keeping the rope tight around the struggling bird.

"Phase 2 complete."

Riku grabbed the bird, letting Tsuki release the water's hold on it. As Mikiko got close he put it in the cage and closed the little door. "HA! Mission complete! Take that you little demon bird!" He grinned and stuck his tongue out at the bird while the twins sweat dropped. It chirped angrily and Tsuki laughed nervously.

"I bet if it can talk it'd be cursing. Haha..."

2:30 p.m.

Back at the Mission center in about an hour (they were pretty deep inside the forest), Mikiko gave the bird to the happy little girl as she thanked her. It seemed that if Miko held the cage it kept quiet, but not if the others held it. Tsuki had complained about this, but Riku commented and said: "It must be because she's so quiet." Eventually after much arguing this was the final conlusion from both of them as Miko scowled at them and before she can smack Riku and Tsuki upside their heads, Katsu interrupted.

"Congratz congratz on completing your very first mission!" Miko's scowl deepened as the others groaned at his go-happy attitude and his wide smile, "And might I add that you'll be doing a lot more missions like these in the future..." the groans became louder. "Tomorrow is your test, so remember to bring all your ninja gear to training area 34 at the crack of dawn. And..." the three listened more intently, " you shouldn't eat breakfast."

Tsuki scoffed. "And why not?"

Katsu laughed a little maniacally. Mikiko raised a brow and Riku laughed nervously. Suddenly he stopped and eyed them with a glint in his eye. "Because you'll barf." Before Team 11 could respond, he poofed away in a cloud of smoke, leaving 3 coughing genin in front of the Mission center alone. They looked at eachother, murmured their goodbyes, and went their seperate ways, thinking the same thing.

'I wonder what kind of test he's gonna give us?'

End Chapter

Okies, now for some questions and answer!

Rikkido soujuu? It literally means "liquid manipulation" in japanese. Haha, not much thought there.

Senkou hyouketsu no jutsu? It means "Flash Freeze jutsu".
