Well here's chapter 5. I'm really excited about this fan fic. I'm already on Chapter 10 and I've only been eritting for about two weeks. So... yay!
Chapter 5: Mission Brief
It was morning when Maemi woke up. "Damn…" he muttered as he rubbed his eyes, "Slept through dinner." His stomach rumbled and he patted it. He stretched and got dressed. He found a new set of cloths sitting on his dresser.
He smiled. These were close that showed the clan symbol with pride on it. Before it was just a small symbol on his sleeve of on his chest were his heart was, but not this time. He was finally recognized as an adult by his clan.
On his back of his new shirt was an big X made by two magnets. It wasn't too showy but it truly meant a lot to him. The shirt was black, his favorite color. He smiled widely and put on the rest of his clothes. He fastened his kunai pouch on the left side of his belt and the shuriken pouch on the right. He smiled and hurried down stairs to eat.
After breakfast he ran to Michiko's to tell her the good news. He knocked on her door and stepped back a bit. Her mother answered.
"Yes?" she asked.
"I'm here to take Michiko-Chan to the elder's for our mission assignment."
"I'm sorry Maemi-San, she's already left."
"Alright, thank you anyways." He said and bowed his head slightly. He then hurried off towards the elder's office to see why she left without him.
When Maemi finally reached the elder's office he looked around, seeing if maybe Michiko was waiting for him outside; she wasn't. Maemi felt depressed now as he walked up the stairs and opened the door. He walked to the room were Akio Sensei had said to meet him in. Jiro, Michiko-Chan, and Akio Sensei were waiting for him. Two elders sat beside a desk.
"Yes, now that the final member of team Akio is present, we can get started." One of the elders said.
"Naotatsu Sama is our village's greatest artists and probably the best in the country. He is to paint a portrait of the 6th for his birthday. You are too escort him to the leaf village." The other elder said.
"Don't you think Chunins should be guarding him, just incase?" Michiko asked.
"Shut up. We can handle it." Jiro said.
"Dose this mean we'll be able to meet Naruto Sama?" Maemi asked.
"Yes young one. You will be meeting the Hokage," The first elder said. Maemi smiled widely. He figured he'd ask Michiko why she left without him once they left the office.
"Then lets hurry! I've always wanted to meet the Hokage. It's been my dream to meet him because I want to one day be as powerful as him." Maemi said with his huge smile.
"You still have a long ways to go. Don't forget, Naruto Sama did find the way kill the evil Orochimaru and put a stop to the sound village," the second elder said.
"I know. I still plan to surpass him in power one day." Maemi said with a confident tone.
"Yeah… and then pigs fly." Jiro said.
"Shut the hell up ass hole!" Maemi blurred out. He then covered his mouth. "I'm so sorry for my rudeness elders. I don't know what came over me."
"It's alright young one. In my youth I would have reacted the same way to someone bad mouthing my dream." The first elder said.
"It's just that your dream is so high and you have yet to show your can come close to achieving that dream." The second elder said.
"I have. I preformed the Tetsu Souran no jutsu on my first try last night. I'm the first genin in my clan to do that. Father said my power will one day surpass Funato's." Maemi was being serious now. No one really thought very high of him since it took him so long to become a Genin, and now he was proving he was destined to be powerful.
"I see. I can tell you are truly destined to be a powerful shinobi. But one powerful enough to rival the Hokage we cannot tell yet." The first elder said.
"Naotatsu Sama will be waiting for you at the village's north gate in a half hour. I suggest you four get ready for the mission." The second elder said. Jiro, Michiko, and Akio started to leave, but Maemi staid.
"Elders, I have one more thing to ask you before I leave…" Maemi paused for a moment, "Why do you do that switching thing when you talk?"
"We're twins," the elders said simultaneously. Maemi smiled in a weird way before he followed everyone outside.
Maemi hurried to Michiko and put his hand on her shoulder. "Michiko, wait a second," he said softly. She didn't say anything as she faced him. Once the Jiro and Akio left he started talking.
"Why didn't you wait for me so we could come here together. I noticed you started to become a bit distant with me. Is there something the matter? Something I need to know?" Michiko eyes started to water. Maemi went to wipe them off but she pulled away.
"I'm sorry Maemi but I want to break up with you. You're a nice guy and everything but… what would happen if we went too far with our relationship. Akio sensei said he'd separate us and be sure we'd never see each other again. I couldn't live without seeing you. If we break up, sure it'll be hard at first but at least we would never be separated," Michiko explained.
Maemi was silent. "I see. Just remember, that I'll always care for you and will always be here for you," he said before walking off. He wiped a tear away as it ran down his cheek.
