Once Again I do not own!

Godric's Guests

September 1 Central Headquarters 10:45 AM

"Sir, your paperwork is due by noon," a crisp voice announced as the door to an office swung opened. A blonde woman dressed in military blues stood in the door with a folder tucked under one arm and a blasé expression on her face.

"But Hawkeye…. I don't wan-"the man behind the desk started to say as the woman reached for her holster.

"BAM!" the hole in the wall right next to the man's eye patch seemed to be incentive enough to start working.

"I'm working, working! Busy as a bee!" he exclaimed while attempting to zoom through reading and signing the stacks of paper surrounding him.

"Good," said the stone-faced blond woman as she holstered her gun, "I will be collecting at noon General."

"Yes ma'am" said General Mustang as he watched his subordinate close the door behind her as she left him.

"Whoo...for a minute there she looked a lot more pissed than usual." A grin stretched across his face as he set down his pen and slowly stood up watching the door. He grabbed his gloves and coat before snickering, however as his hand was reaching for the door a soft sound made him pause.

"Hhrrrrrmmmm…."*Thump*

"What the? OH SHIT!" the loud exclamation was followed by a desperate scramble to grab a flat piece of wood about the size of a grape from inside his boot.

*Crash!* Well, there goes the lamp, I'll fix that later. "AHA! Found it! Oops…"

*Crack*

"General are you alright?'

*Knock knock*

"General? General I'm comin' in." a soft voice announced before the door opened again except instead of the blonde woman there was a blonde young man.

"General? Hey where are you? Brother and I need to report." While saying this the young man stepped into the office and started to look around noticing the open drawer, missing coat and broken lamp.

As the boy started to turn around his stride lengthened and, "Brother! Someone just ransacked the general's office!" echoed down the hallway.

September 1 Hokage Tower Missions Office 11:00 AM

"You, Naruto and Sakura should only take about 2 weeks for this mission, including travel. The only warning I have for you is that there is a small possibility of an Akatsuki safe-house located in Yuri village which is only a small distance from Totai." stated the blonde woman behind the desk.

"Yah right Baa-chan! Even if they are there we can kick their butts!" Naruto announced while fidgeting.

"NARUTO!"Sakura yelled, and a thump resounded as her fist met her team-mates head.

"Sakurraa-chan…that hurt" Naruto started to whine while rubbing his poor abused head.

*BAM* interrupted his complaining as the Hokage pounded her desk and said, "Both of you behave! And good luck."

"Hai Hokage-sa" started Kakashi in his lazy drawl before a soft *Hrrrmmmmm* interrupted him.

"Ah, kuso" Kakashi stated dryly looking at his kunai pouch with a slightly amused expression.

"Kakashi-Sensei!" Naruto and Sakura shouted in unison as Kakashi disappeared with a *crack*.

"Naruto, what did you do!" echoed throughout Hokage tower.

September 1 Fire Lord Palace 45 minutes before high noon

"Some of the farmers are saying that the water used for irrigation is not going to be enough this year, especially with the increased demand for-" a stately dressed advisor was continuing on and on to the Fire Lord about some complaints that had to be addressed at the upcoming council meeting as he was walking down the hall.

Suddenly a soft thump caused him to stop and look around. The Fire Lord just blinked and a larger thump was heard and the wall beside him vanished in dust.

"Sparky! What's up with this damn waiting line to see you!" said a voice through the dust. As the dust cleared a short woman speared, dressed in what seemed to be peasant's clothes.

"Toph now is not the time" the Fire Lord pointed out not even the least bit shocked.

"Relax Sparky no one is gonna die if you say hello to little ole me" the girl threw back as she leaned up against what was left of the wall. The sound of frantic footsteps came within hearing distance and Toph's smirk grew.

As a guard burst around the corner he slid to a stopped and panted, "Sir I am so sorry I didn't realize she was an earth bender and I am so sorry". He was gasping trying to catch his breath and he opened his mouth again before the Fire Lord interrupted.

"It's fine, and Toph next time just show your pass" he said exasperated as he dismissed the guard with a wave of his hand.

"Na-uh Sparky, your security could use the testing." She announced as she grinned impishly.

"Of course it could," he said dryly as he started to walk again leaving the advisor behind blinking "but you-"*Hrrrrmmmm* the sound started as the woman began to catch up.

"Oh, Agni why n-"was the only sound Toph heard from the wide-eyed Fire Lord before he disappeared with a *crack*.

"MY LORD?" shouted out as the advisor turned the corner and saw the Fire Lord disappear.

"Sparky? Why the heck can't I sense you? Sparky?" Toph said frantically as she stomped her feet trying to find the vanished Zuko.
