After resting his "spirit" and cursing his weakness to exposed woman flesh, he made his way to the dining room. Naruto was already biting almost anything on the table that was comestible, while Sakura tried not to punch Naruto for this type of behavior and Sasuke looked at his sensei but resumed his meal once he checked that he was alright. Lilly greeted him and asked him to sit next to her, Kakashi nodded and took seat. There were many types of food on the table; most of the dishes were covered with a lot of vegetables. He looked to the blond kid and saw that he already got almost all the meat on his plate and was eating it with great joy.
-Oy… Naruto-.He looked at his sensei with a half slice of roast beef in his mouth and waiting for whatever his sensei was about to say. Kakashi took the nearest bowl, filled with green salad, and poured all its contents to his student's plate. Naruto was about to yell in protest but he almost chocked himself in the intent.
-You'd better eat that if you want to live to be at least a Chunnin.-taking his chop sticks and picking his own meal for the day.
After so many protests of Naruto to his sensei, Sakura's complaints and some muttering of Sasuke, the lunch time was over. Kakashi looked at his employer and waited patiently for his reason to be there. Lilly looked at them with a smile on her lips and crossed her arms on her chest.
-Well it's not a big problem, but we're not able to solve it by ourselves. Maybe you were too young to remember-. Looking at the three kids then to their sensei.- But this place used to be the perfect spot to plot against the hidden Leaf village. When we built our farms we didn't expect to have a lot of population in here, so we just cleaned the place for a few families, but as you saw it's not small anymore-.Smiling with pride.- We'd been finding some little leftovers of the past battles, you know like some weapons, strange explosive notes and other stuff that you're familiar with. Our main problem it's that we can't expand or territory because the villagers are too afraid of finding this type of ninja's inventory and getting hurt with them. So that's why I requested the Hokage to send a team to clean this field of those nasty traps.
Kakashi looked at the lady then to his students and sighed. A cleaning mission, well… is a good chance to catch on with my book. Kakashi crossed his arms on his chest and looked once again to the headmistress.
-Miss Summers, could you please show us the first place you found those traps?
-Oh sure… but first, let me show you your rooms so you don't have to carry those big and heavy backpacks anymore.
Naruto yelled in approbation and ran next to the lady waiting impatiently for the tour. The house was fully made of wood and had three floors; on the first was the living room, kitchen, a service restroom and the dining room. The second floor had four doors, each with a bedroom inside and the third was supposed to be the attic and turned out to be a gaming room. Lilly informed them that it was alright to use that room only when it wasn't sleeping time. She showed them their respective rooms; the first door to the left was Sakura's room, in front of was the "little gentlemen's" room, at the end to the right was her own bedroom and in front of was Kakashi's room. The three rooms looked almost the same but with a different distribution. Each had restroom with a bathtub in it, a bunk, a closet, a little drawer next to the bunk and cornered writing-desk with a little lamp on it. Also each got a balcony with two chairs and a little coffee table on it. Kakashi stepped inside his own room and left his backpack next to the closet. He opened the balcony and walked outside while looking to the landscape. I love farmer's hospitality. He looked to the forest where they came from and grinned. I could invite you to stay here with me if you weren't in an observation mission. Closing the balcony's door behind him and heading to the first floor to wait for his team to gather.
Anko looked at them with envy and regret that she had to be hidden instead of having a nice meal and a warm bed to sleep in. She sighed and cursed Tsunade's avaricious way of doing the new missions, well it was a supervision mission so she didn't need a lot of budget for it, but not having enough money for renting a hotel room was too much. She punched the tree were she was standing on and looked for a place to camp and settle things for her mission. Once the camp was ready she started a little campfire and put a teapot with water on it, she looked for the parchment that Shizune gave her on the morning and started to read it once more. Kakashi's team was supposed to clean the field of any sign of a possible danger for the civilians, not a difficult mission but most of the cleaning mission took about two or three days. She looked at the teapot and her miserable instant ramen cup and cursed once again, she'll have to suffer a bad meal and a cold sleep for two days in a row. She punched once again a tree, this time it did hurt.
Lilly was waiting at the front door with a cowboy hat on her hair; she was wearing a pair of jeans and a white short sleeve shirt with brown boots on her feet. Naruto was the first to arrive, followed by Sasuke and finally Sakura, which asked Lilly where she can get a hat like that in there. Kakashi rolled his eyes and mumbled the same thing that Sasuke and Naruto were thinking "Women". Lilly lead them to the main street of the town, there were some shops, hotels, restaurants and bars along the way. Everybody looked at them with great curiosity and whispered in their bakcs. Kakashi was used to this and didn't seem to mind, after all their clothes were completely different from the ones the villagers used. Naruto was grinning while walking at hurried to each restaurant they passed on, Sakura was looking to all the display cabinets they saw and Sasuke was hitting a little rock he found a few meters behind. After a couple of minutes they arrived to the end of the street and found some houses and buildings under construction, no one seemed to be around and Kakashi knew why. Even without his sharingan activated he could tell that the place was plagued with traps of the old enemies of Konoha.
-Here's the place-.pointing to the rest of the road that was empty.
The team was looking to any possible direction, searching for the traps that had to be disarmed.
-Well, I'll be doing some business at the major's office, if you need something feel free to ask anybody. See you at dinner-. Waving and walking back to her house.
Kakashi looked to her and back to his students. With a quick glare he checked if anybody was watching them and finding no one he took out the parchment that Tsunade gave him. It said that it was strictly forbidden to use any kind of jutsu, in order to avoid any type of scandal with the villagers. Also the weapons should be used with extreme caution and by any circumstance they should talk of anything related to the Konoha. Kakashi saved the parchment in his back pocket and with a gesture the team followed him to the nearest tree.
-Well to accomplish this mission we have to be precautious, the use of weapons is limited to kunais, shurinkens and wire, nothing else. Also we're forbid to use any type of jutsu so we don't drag much attention to us while working and yes Naruto… that includes your Sexy jutsu.
Kakashi looked at the landscape and sighed. This is going to take a while with these restrictions. He crossed his arms on his chest and closed his only visible eye, trying to gain some concentration. He was about to separate the team and ordered them to destroy any traps by themselves when he felt her presence, cursing a bit for the supervision thing he looked at his team.
-Well since we have limited resources we have to do this together. First we'll start with the movement's traps and then with the floor traps. If you find any weapons keep them hide with you, we don't have the place to trash them in here.
The team nodded in agreement and each dragged a kunai to both of their hands, Kakashi repeated his pupil's actions and reached for his kunais. He ordered them to follow him and in a straight line they walked to the deep forest again.
Anko was eating the rest of her dango while looking at the team progress, it was quite difficult for them to disable traps without their jutsus or special abilities like the sharingan, but it was for the sake of Konoha and the farmer's village. Anko chewed the stick that used to have her beloved candy and waited patiently of anything to happen. The supervision missions always bored her to hell, she was meant to act not to observe, but that bending machine was worth the sacrifice. Besides she didn't feel like working, Hibiki was always bossing her around with paperwork that she didn't really like to do. Also the copy machine was out of service so she had to go two blocks away of the office to take the copies with a slow old man that each time she saw him, he mistaken her for his beloved grandson. She admitted that she didn't wear any feminine clothes; she was more up to the simple and practical than the colorful and pointless clothes most of the kunoichi wore. But that was no reason to confuse her with a man; after all she got two, not too big but visible, reasons to be noticed as a woman.
She wondered why everybody treated her like he was some dude more and not the special kunoichi she was. She got some nasty experiences for her outfit like hearing male things that make her almost to puke. They talked like she was a mate and disgusted her by telling stories or remarks of their own experiences with the girls, asking her advice like she was some kind of freak that was meant to tell them the secrets of the women. She tried several times to remind them that she was a girl at the end and she had no need to hear those stuff but they simply ignored her. Once in a while she wished that she was a little more feminine like her best friend Kurenai, but it was hopeless, she always poke her eyes each time she tried to use mascara on her. Even though she liked to be treated like a man so she had the same opportunities like them, she wished that someone looked at her like the woman she was.
A chill brought her back from her thoughts and realized that it was already evening. She saw for the last time team number seven heading back to the lady's house, she jumped down and saw that they already destroyed one third of the traps in the place. There were some nasty traps that might kill any civilian and wondered if that already happened there before asking them for help. Anko walked slowly to her own camping still thinking about her own issues with the men population, letting the wind to chill all her bones and messing her hair and regretting once more to eat another bowl of instant ramen and sleeping on the cold earth instead of having a nice dinner and a comfy bed to sleep in.
Lilly was waiting them at the front door with a wide smile on her lips; she waved and let them come in where the dinner's scent embraced them. They were starving and before anything else they thanked the lady for the dinner at started to eat. Kakashi looked through the window, looking for his companion presence. He knew it was cold outside and also that the type of mission she was taking involved some nasty food on the menu. He looked at his plate with a little of guilt and did nothing else but to wonder is she was okay.
They all headed to the gaming room and played a little with the pool's table, trying their best of not popping someone's eye out with the pool's sticks or hurting someone's foot with the balls that constantly fell from the table. Surprisingly Sasuke turned to be a good player; Sakura greeted him and applauded him along with Lilly. Naruto yelled that he was cheating using his sharingan and demanded a second chance; Sakura hit him on the back of his head remembering in low voice that he should not speak anything related to the ninja's attributes. Kakashi was reading his usual book but not gaining any concentration with all the noises his students were making. He wished them a good night and walked to his own room. He turned the desk's lamp on and closed the door with the lock on. He jumped to the upside bed and laid in there, once again trying to read but finding more interesting the ceiling than his beloved book. The ceiling was also made by wood and had a few cracks on it, crossing in a rhomboidal form, fishing their knots one to another. He put the book aside and sat in Indian style looking to the balcony. He wasn't in the mood of sleeping, instead he jumped off the bed and opened the balcony jumping once more to the open field and walking to the forest.
Anko sipped the last drop of her instant ramen cup and throw it to the pile of trash next to her. She stayed there looking at the flames dancing over the little pile of wood she collected that afternoon. She yawned a bit but continued to look at the fire, hypnotized with its moves. She smiled remembering that the fire always brought her good memories of her last missions and closed her eyes. She was about to fall asleep when she stood up and throw three kunais to her west, expecting something to happen but relaxing herself once again. She sat down in her same spot and smiled again. She felt a pair of footsteps in front of her and relaxed even more.
-Yo!... Mind if I join you?
Lira W.M: Yellow to everybody! So what do you think? I hope I'm getting better with this hehehe u. Well sorry for keep you waiting until today, but Friday and Saturday are my only spare days for my annoying schedule. Well I'm aware that this is rated M and so long nothing has happened (except some glimpses in the back chapters) but like I said, I'm not trying to push them all the way just because it's a M fic so therefore they have to go all sex and sex, but I like the things like wine, the more you wait the best it taste. But I can promise you something, before this cleaning mission is over a good piece of lemon will appear, so wait up and see. Meanwhile I'll ask for you to patient and wait up until then. If you don't like something (beside the lemon part) please review that, so I can improve the fic. Thanks a lot for your support also I'd like to thank TwoTails for always supporting me each day with her noble words, arigato!
See ya on Tuesday at 8pm Central
