Chapter Four
Aniki and Cyrus were both out of breath, they had been training together without breaks for four hours. Finally Cyrus sighed and put away his sword, "Lets stop for today." he said, Aniki smiled and returned the sand to her gourd.
"Okay, after tomorrow's mission do you want to train again?" Aniki asked, Cyrus nodded, Aniki walked up to him and they kissed.
"Hey you two." Aniki and Cyrus split apart to see Sakura and Gaara approaching them. Sakura smiled and said, "Do us a favor and don't do that in public." Aniki blushed, Gaara and Sakura were dressed to fight. "If you don't mind we're about to start our training, you can watch if you want." Aniki smiled and nodded, Cyrus was looking at the sword on Sakura's belt and Gaara's gourd and whispered something in Aniki's ear.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked, Aniki blushed.
"Well... Cyrus told me your fight would turn into what we were doing." Aniki smiled, "Mom, you're carrying a sword and dad has his gourd. I have my gourd and Cyrus has his sword." Skura laughed, Aniki was right.
"Let me see your sword Cyrus." She said, Cyrus pulled out his sword and gave it to Sakura. Sakura examined Cyrus's sword and gave it back, then she realized the sword was longer then the sheath and watched as Cyrus put it back, the sword fit perfectly. Sakura put that off to the side and pulled out her sword as Gaara prepared his sand. Aniki and Cyrus watched as Sakura and Gaara fought, soon it started to get dark, so Cyrus and Aniki headed home.
Aniki and Cyrus reached her house and were about to say good bye. "Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow then." Cyrus said, Aniki smiled and wrapped her arms around him.
"Yeah I guess, but before you leave." Aniki kissed him and closed her eyes, Cyrus blushed and closed his. one, one and a half, two full minutes passed before they parted. Aniki blushed and Cyrus smiled. Aniki let go of Cyrus and went to her door and was about to open it when Cyrus said,
"Aniki?" Aniki looked over at him, he was smiling, "I love you." Aniki smiled.
"I love you too Cyrus." Aniki blushed and went inside, Cyrus smiled and walked home.
The next morning Aniki smiled as she met up with Cyrus outside again, they went to the Kasekage's tower to find Baki and Siteim waiting for them. Inside the tower they went to a room where Gaara was waiting for them. Gaara spoke with Baki, Baki was humiliated that Gaara found out how quickly he was defeated.
"Because you two defeated Baki so easily, I will be giving you a C-rank mission." Aniki squealed, Cyrus smiled, and Siteim pouted. Gaara continued, "You will be doing an escort mission, you will escort someone back to his village. Bring him in" he told a guard. The man walked in the room, drunk and holding a rather large bottle of sake.
"What that's it? Just a couple of kids?" The man said, Aniki and Cyrus ignored him and Siteim pouted, as usual. Gaara frowned.
"You will find these 'kids' more then capable for this mission" He said. Aniki could tell he was pissed off by this man and giggled to herself. The man looked them over, he looked at Siteim who pouted, Aniki smiled and gave the peace sign with her sand and right hand, and when he looked at Cyrus, he smiled and put a hand on his sword.
"Fine." The man said, in truth he was surprised that these kids were given a C-rank mission. After the details of the mission were given out they went to the gates.
After awhile something happened that got all their attention, Aniki sensed someone else's presence and her sand shot out into the forest to retrieve whatever it was. The sand returned with a struggling ninja, Aniki smiled and Baki just stared at her. Finally,
"What were you doing just now?" Baki interrogated the ninja, the ninja ignored him, Aniki squeezed him with the sand. The ninja continued to ignore them, Aniki was slowly crushing the ninja.
"Alright! I'll tell you!" Aniki stopped crushing him but she didn't ease up on him, "I was sent to kill that man." The ninja pointed to the man they were to escort.
"By who?" Baki asked. The ninja just laughed.
"You won't get that out of me!" Cyrus sighed and pulled out his sword and placed the blade by the ninja's neck. The ninja just laughed. Cyrus took that as an okay to slit the ninja's throat so he did. They left the dead ninja behind and continued walking.
"Well he was a load of information." Siteim said, Cyrus looked over at her.
"I don't think he knew who sent him." Cyrus said, Baki let him explain, "There must be another man who hired them, he knew his leaders name and his intentions, but what he didn't know was who had hired them to do his/her's dirty work." Baki nodded in agreement,
"Nicely said Cyrus," Cyrus smiled and Aniki hugged him, "You have the same explanation as I came up with." Baki turned his attention to the man. "Now you have some explaining to do." The man sighed.
"I come from the village Hidden in the Mist, you know this, but our village is small and we can't pay for anything higher then a C-rank mission." The man said.
Mario11445: Alright, I know this is like the first couple of episodes of Naruto, but I'm making some changes, keep your pants on.
"That doesn't give you any reason to lie to us." Baki started yelling, he was loosing his temper, "If you hadn't lied then we----" Baki was cut off by the sand in front of his mouth. Aniki sighed.
"My dad said we were more then capable for this mission," Aniki said, "I think he knows that this man was lying, that's why you were drinking all that sake, right? You hoped it would hide your emotions." The man stared at Aniki in disbelief, he nodded, Aniki smiled.
"I bet my father knew this but still gave it to us because he knew that me and Cyrus are stronger then you Baki-sensei." Baki scratched his head, he was embarrassed again, Aniki smiled. Cyrus smiled and nodded.
"You mean to tell me that you two Genins are stronger then this Jonin?" The man asked. Aniki used her hand and sand to show the peace again and stuck out her tongue cutely. Cyrus had an urge to kiss her, but he held back. When they started walking again, everyone's back turned to Cyrus and Aniki, he turned her around and kissed her. Aniki blushed and Cyrus continued walking, Aniki grabbed his hand. The man looked back and saw them holding hands, they blushed but didn't let go, the man smiled and turned his back on them.
The village came into view finally and they stopped for the night. Aniki and Cyrus slept next to each other, the man was off to one side and Siteim to another, Baki stood watch.
Morning came and they awoke, packed up, and left. Two hours passed and the gate came into view, all of a sudden they were ambushed by a group of ten ninja. Two of these ninja were taken out by Aniki's sand almost immediately, Cyrus pulled out his sword, Baki braced himself, and Siteim prepared to fight. Two ninja lunged at Cyrus, he smirked. Soon the ninja's were dead on the ground, Cyrus had cut them with his sword at extreme speed, he was standing behind the dead ninja's, his back to them. Another two lunged at him and their rib cages were pierced by hardened sand. Baki had taken out three others with one wind jutsu, and Siteim was unconscious. Cyrus sighed and took out the last one with a kunai he threw.
Then the leader showed up, specializing in suiton techniques he used the river near them as the source of his jutsu. Cyrus smiled when he saw the jutsu and used his own to deflect it. Aniki saw the water jutsus and put her sand back into the gourd, sand wouldn't be any use here. It was Baki and Cyrus fighting the ninja.
"Well, well, look at what we have her." The ninja said and laughed, all of a sudden he caught Baki off guard and slammed him in the head with a giant club he was carrying. Cyrus cursed, Baki was unconscious, he had to fight the ninja alone. The ninja laughed, Cyrus readied his sword.
"A Genin huh?" The ninja continued to laugh, Cyrus held back from attacking him, "This should be fun." Cyrus sighed, and formed hand signs, a dragon came from the water and sped towards the ninja, forcing his attention on it while Cyrus hid in the trees. The jutsu was dodged and Cyrus threw a kunai at the man from his hiding place and switched to another tree. The kunai was also dodged and thrown back at Cyrus's previous hiding spot.
"Damn, he moved." The man cursed and began looking for Cyrus.
"You can't find me," Cyrus smiled and said under his breath, "you can't kill me. This guy is just another punk who barely managed to become Jonin. Heh, like he said this is gonna be fun." Cyrus smiled and dropped to the ground. The ninja barely had enough time to block Cyrus's sword, Cyrus disappeared and reappeared, striking again. The battle went on like this for quite some time before the ninja finally counter attacked and sent Cyrus flying. Cyrus hit the ground and got back up, he sighed and took off the weights on his legs. The wights were a foot wide and five inches high, the ninja smirked.
"You won't catch me off guard with taking off a few pounds." he said, Cyrus laughed, "Whats so funny brat!?"
"Our village is different then yours." Cyrus threw the weights behind him, they exploded. The ninja stumbled, Cyrus saw an opening and dashed. His blade sliced threw the man's flesh and muscle, the blade went all the way through the kidney, the ninja fell to his knees, then face down on the ground. Aniki squealed and hugged Cyrus, Baki had recovered and Siteim was now sleeping. Baki saw the ninja dead on the ground, Aniki hugging Cyrus, and he smiled.
"It seems that both of you individually are stronger then me as well." Baki said, Aniki blushed and Cyrus smiled. "Good job taking care of that man, I will be sure to tell Gaara your accomplishment."
"Thanks sensei." Cyrus said, Aniki kissed Cyrus and they held each other. Baki smiled and made sure to see if the man they were escorting was okay before going to Siteim.
When they reached the man's house he said, "Hey, I'm sorry that I treated you kids like little brats, I didn't know what you could do, so, I apologize."
"It's not a problem, now we must be off." Baki said, the man nodded and bowed to them before entering his house. "Alright now we can go." Baki smiled and they took off, they ran at incredible speed to reach the village of Suna.
