Opening her eyes Ann sat up her vision blurry with sleep before wiping the morning tears from her clubbing idea was something she'd never bring up with her students again had danced the night away...not to mention they all had more than a decent amount of drinks, only she herself had been able to hold down the was about three weeks up off her bed she began to strip herself of her clothes; humming to herself as she made her way into the bathroom to get the water she felt a warm rush flood over her hand she got in.

Today was going to be a long day.

Shikamaru awoke to a harsh banging on his he rubbed his head in pain from the loud 'knocking' if you could call it few more seconds of banging he grunted,"WHAT?"

The banging stopped and he gave rough grunt after hearing Ino's announcement and quickly dressed; heading out the door within the time frame of three damn witch would've had his head if he'd come out any women they're so troublesome..

"What's this about?" he asked looking at her, they were briefed on missions before hand, this was all of a sudden it must've been again it wasn't as if this bitch hadn't dragged him out a bed before just to get him to do something not even slightly worth his time.

Opening the door Ino looked over her childhood shaking her head she 'd always thought he'd grow up to be a stud; as sure as hell he the blatant know-it-all, lazy, good for nothing attitude wasn't as attractive as his appearance.

"Get your lazy ass up Tsunade needs us," she scoffed turning herself around and making her way to the Hokage she was managing with the new Sensei...don't ask..looking over her shoulder hurriedly she replied,"There's an escort mission calling our names."

Choji stood silently in the Hokage's office along with the others at the time there were few of the Rookie Nine and he was quiet confused as to why Lee was there at the moment, he had left the other day on a mission and if he was going on this mission it had to be a miracle he was back around the room his eyes caught sight of a few he personally knew, Lee, Shino, Sai, and soon the door opened two more ninja entered the door after he began naming them in his head.

"Oh.., morning Shikamaru," he greeted with a toothy punched him lightly in the back for not saying hello like she usually did if he took notice to Shikamaru first.

"Morning Ino," Choji muttered with a forced smile.

Turning his head back to look at Lady Tsunade he wondered what type of mission this would be.

Looking over the ninja standing before her she knew it would be difficult even without Naruto current being out on a different it involved the Village of Light and could possibly bring Ann into question among the teens if they found out...Sighing she closed her eyes she rubbed her aching the door open and close twice within the time she had her eyes closed she opened them to see Shikamaru standing in front of her...well more like leaned against the wall behind Ino.

"Well now that you're all here I would like to discuss the mission that will be assigned to all of you," she yawned looking over her paperwork.

"The Chuurippu Clan in the Village of the Light has been feuding with the neighboring Keshi Clan, and in the process they have killed ten innocent citizens," her face became barren as she saw the ninja straighten up at her words.

"The Heiress of the Chuurippu Clan has been within our village for a while and now she is going to check on things you seven shall escort her there and back,Sai and Shikamaru you two are the leaders for this mission." Tsunade said as she stood herself up.

"Please come in," she ordered looking at the door.

Opening the door the woman stepped in with a polite just stared at her with the exception of Hinata who giggled and bowed.

"Ohayoo," the woman purred stepping in completely.

She looked like an Geisha; her blonde hair was back in a high bun with hair pieces draping off of sported a royal blue kunouchi version of a komon kimono that had small gold bird feet patterns over the geta brilliantly accented the outfit, problem was...she was wearing an odd bird like mask making it impossible to see her face.

"Re-group at the entrance in an hour set, and ready to go, dismissed," Tsunade finished getting back to the paper work that 'had' to be done.

Of course she waited until they were gone to pull out the sake she had been stashing away from her prude assistant in three shots she chuckled; it would be interesting to see what happened to them on this mission.

Gulping some more Shizune entered,"Lady Tsunade are you fin-TSUNADE!!"
