Disclaimer: Nami and Midori do not own Naruto.

The next day…

"Ah, morning! How lovely it is!" Kyoko sang after her ten minute sleep from last night…or…early morning.

Kyoko looked around and saw no sight of Nami or Midori. She was couldn't care less whether

Nami was gone, but was worried for her true friend, Midori. Kyoko got her clothes on as fast as she could and went to search.

"Where are you Midori-chan! Nami!" Kyoko yelled and got up as quickly as she could. She ran into the room where they had tea, though they weren't there. Howver, she was stopped by the sound of laughter.

"What was that?" Kyoko asked herself. She went outside the door and saw Hanako laughing while playing with Neko. Nami and Midori were sitting on the patio outside.

"Look who finally decided to get up," Midori teased as she looked up.

"Hello, have a good night sleep?" Nami asked with a grin.

"… Guess? Hey is Marieke-sensei here yet?" Kyoko asked, sitting next to Midori.

"Neko-chan come back!" Hanako said running around a corner.

"I'll go follow her," Nami got up and jogged around the corner as well.

"No, she hasn't yet. She should be back today though," Midori answered.

"I see." Kyoko said and they were in silence.

Nami and Hanako with Neko

"Neko come back!" Hanako yelled playfully. Neko ran under a bush.

"That's it come a little bit closer…" the girl said quietly with a treat in her hand.

"Neko? Come back…" Hanako said with grief.

Nami saw something move in the bush. "Hanako wait!" Nami ordered. Hanako ignored her order and stuck her hand in the bush.

"Got ya!" the girl said and pulled Hanako away they disappeared.

Nami heard Hanako's shriek muffle.

"Let her go!" Nami ordered.

"What will you do if I don't?" the girl asked with a laugh.

"Let her GO!" Nami yelled furiously with her hands in front of her, ready for battle.

Midori and Kyoko

"Did you hear something?" Midori asked.

"I think so?" Kyoko said.

"Where's Nami and Hanako?" Midori asked suddenly. There was fear in her eyes. "Do you think…something happened to them?"

Kyoko and Midori shot up and ran around the corner to see Nami and a girl they've never seen in their lives holding Hanako hostage. The girl was about the age of fourteen. Her hair was in one crazy ponytail to the side, black with highlights that were blue in front of her eyes. She had black eyes, and a headband with the sign of a bird. She had on a mini skirt that was purple, with fish nets down to her knees on both sides and had black shoes on. She had on two layers of shirts on; first she had on a long purple shirt that went to her elbows and a black tube top over that.

"Nami what did you do?" Midori exclaimed.

"Nothing!" Nami said innocently.

"Haha. You call yourselves ninja." the girl laughed. "You're just two kids and a strict mother!"

"And who are you?" Kyoko demanded.

"I am Miki Setsuko from the Land of the Birds. And you, my dears, are dead meat," Setsuko said, as she ran after Kyoko with Hanako still in her hands.

"Uh no…I'm Kawa Nami, and these are my friends Midori and Kyoko!" Nami yelled as she ran into Setsuko before she could get to Kyoko. Setsuko dropped Hanako on the ground and she slide a couple of feet away.

"Hey she was so mine!" Kyoko yelled Nami and Setsuko ignored her.

"Dude! Why did you just tell her our names?" Midori said, slapping her forehead.
Setsuko laughed. "Some ninja! You want to fight me? Well than you've already made the first move! Now it's mine, isn't it?" Setsuko and Nami had their hands locked and seemed to be competing on who would fall.

Midori ran to Hanako's side. "Hanako! Take Neko-chan and get inside!" There may be more ninja other than Setsuko, I'm sure of it. "Come with me Hanako and be silent," Midori ordered.

"You're a very stubborn one, aren't you? Your name again?" Setsuko asked tauntingly.

Nami just had her eyes fixed on the tree behind her and we pushing as hard as she could.

"Your eyes are filled of rage. Come on, don't you want to make a move before I do, like I said?"

"ARGH!" Nami yelled and pushed Setsuko all the way to the tree, she was slammed down.

"It's Nami and don't forget it this time!" Nami said victoriously while keeping her balance.

"What? I wanted to do that! Or something like that!" Kyoko yelled as Nami almost tipped over.

"You know Nami you can't just do something like that! I mean I totally had her! Stop hogging all the glory and—" Kyoko yelled as Nami passed out.

"Nami? Nami are you listening to me?" Kyoko shouted. She started to shake her teammate furiously. "NAMI! Look at me when I'm shouting at you!"
"I better come back with Taro…" Setsuko said to herself as she got up. Holding onto her shoulder, she disappeared.

"These girls…are not to be toyed with lightly."

Ten minutes later…

"Nami? Nami are you ok?" Midori asked shaking her.

"I already tried that," Kyoko said.

"Not helping," Midori sighed.

"Uh…? Where am I? Ah! Where is she! Is Hanako alright?" Nami jumped up from her sleep. She had a bandage over her face and some more bandages over her shoulders.

"She's gone! And yes, Hanako is alright... just a scratch," Marieke answered.

"What? Were did you come from? Ow my head!" Nami fell back on the floor.

"She came right after you fainted." Kyoko explained.

"Why did I faint? I've done that move before," Nami asked, putting her hand over her forehead.

"We don't know," Midori answered.

"You just need some more training," Marieke smiled.

"Will I be well soon?" Nami asked.

"Oh yes, you'll be well soon. Not too long. Maybe you'll even be up and running by tomorrow!" Marieke answered.

"Aw man you mean that she'll be better tomorrow?" Kyoko asked with a little tear in her eye.

"Be quite baka." Nami ordered.

"What?" Kyoko snapped. "You want to go?"

"Bring it!" Nami jumped up in fighting stance.

"You know what tomorrow when you're better, Kyoko and you are going to do some special training tomorrow, after your regular training. Now get some rest," Marieke disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Thanks a lot!" Nami fell in her bed.

"What!" Kyoko asked in rage.

"Kyoko be quiet for once, will you? I don't know how I live with you guys…Nami needs her rest and frankly, so do I!" Midori sighed.

"Yes, Nami needs her sleep!" Nami repeated.

"Oh yeah right!" Kyoko threw a pillow at her.

"Ouch!"

A couple of minutes later

"Hey Midori, Kyoko you guys up?" Nami whispered.

"Uh?" Kyoko asked.

"What?" Midori said.

"Why do you think we were attacked?" Nami turned around and placed her hands under her chin.

"Maybe that's why this mission is a B mission. We knew we might get attacked…but I wonder why? I suppose Sato and Hanako are more important than we thought," Midori answered back.

"Maybe we should ask Marieke-sensei tomorrow," Kyoko suggested.

"Good idea, we need to rest up for tomorrow you guys so time for bed. Goodnight," Midori said.

"Goodnight," Nami and Kyoko replied.

The next day…

"Where is she?" Kyoko asked annoyed.

"We've been waiting for only ten minutes. Chill down," Nami said sitting on the ground in the little open space this island had to offer for training, with Midori standing to the left of Kyoko, her arms were crossed silent. Kyoko had her hands above her eyes to see if she could see any trace of their sensei that was late.

"Good morning did you all get goodnight's rest?" Marieke popped out of nowhere behind Kyoko.

"You're late! We have a question for you as well!" Kyoko asked.

"I know. I know you want to know why you guys were attacked yesterday. Well, I did tell you this mission is extreme," Marieke told the three.

"Well yeah, but that was the only thing you said about this mission!" Nami said with a little laugh.

"I know I haven't been fair to you guys," Marieke said.

"You got that right!" Kyoko said.

"I promise everything will be explained later tonight with Hanako and Sato. It's about them so it would be good for them to tell you guys," Marieke continued. "Now how about training? I'm going to teach you guys something."

"Finally!" Kyoko and Nami chinned.

Finally, Midori thought.

"I'm going to teach you guys how to release your animal."

"What?!" the two girls were confused.

"Remember, sensei's a summoning specialist," Midori said obviously.

"Oh," Kyoko and Nami said together.

"Ok, you know what I mean when I say release your animal right?"

"Well yeah of course we do, but don't we need three different contracts for the each of us?" Midori pointed out.

"Good question, Midori. Well that was the reason why I left you guys, so I could get these." Marieke put her hands together and out popped millions of scrolls…ok there weren't 'millions'. Some were big and some were small and there was a lot.

"Wow!" Kyoko said with awe.

"So who's first?"

"Oh me, me, me, oh pick me!" Kyoko pleaded.

"Ok, Kyoko what do you want?" Marieke asked as she placed all the scrolls in front of her.

"There's so much to choose from! I think I want this..." Kyoko was interrupted from Nami who took the scroll that she WANTED.

"I like this one," Nami said with a grin.

"Hey, I get to choose first and I wanted that one!" Kyoko said angrily.

"Well to bad, I guess you weren't fast enough to get what you wanted."

"NAMI!!!!!!!!" Kyoko was about to stab her or something like that with a kunai when she was stopped by Marieke.

"Now, now I don't want to train you guys if you act like this," Marieke had Kyoko in a headlock with her right hand and put her finger in front of Nami's face.

"Here you go I don't want it anyways if you want it!" Nami threw the scroll into Kyoko's free hand.

"Yeah!!! I get the woof!" Kyoko smiled.

"Wolf! You get the wolf!" Nami corrected.

"Oh whatever!" Kyoko stuck her tongue.

"Ok, Kyoko are you ready to sign the scroll?" Marieke asked.

"Yes, I am." Kyoko was really serious.

"Alright, write your name in blood with your finger prints below it, and summon your animal with the hand that you wrote your name with. I'll show you the hand signs to summon your animal when Nami and Midori have picked an animal as well."

"Ok," Kyoko slightly bit her thumb and wrote her name on the scroll with her finger prints below like she was instructed.

"Alright who's next?"

"Midori can go, I still don't know what I want to be, yet," Nami suggested.

"No, that's ok I don't want to yet, Nami should go first."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah go ahead. There are tons, after all."

"Alright," Nami walked over to the scrolls and looked at everyone with great detail. There was a toad scroll, snake scroll, boar scroll, snail scroll, with many others, but the one that stood out to Nami was red with a blue design. It was the fox scroll.

"Do you see any that you like?" Marieke asked.

"I think I'll take this one," Nami pointed to the fox scroll.

"I see, well just do the same thing that Kyoko did and wait for further instructions."

When Marieke saw Nami open the scroll she thought, I wonder if she knows? She's just like him.

"Alright Midori you're the last one left. Which animal do you like?"

"I dunno, I'll just look," Midori got up and saw yet another scroll that stood out from the others, for her it was medium sized and was black with white designs. It was the bird scroll.

"I'll take this one," Midori said.

"Interesting pick, well go ahead we'll wait for you."
Midori bite her thumb and wrote her name, later walked over and stood in between Nami and Kyoko cause they would never stand next to each other no matter WHAT!

"Alright well let's get to releasing something," Marieke asked.

"Yay!" Kyoko and Nami applauded.

After Kyoko and Nami chilled down from excitement, Marieke finally told them what to do, and the words.

"Who wants to go first?" Marieke asked.

Everyone was silent.

"Fine. I guess I will!" Midori said as she got up with a sigh.

"Let's go MIDORI!" Kyoko cheered.

"YAHOOOOO! Midori!" Nami screamed.

"WHAT?! Why did you say Yahoo?"

"Why did you say 'Let's go' huh?" Nami shrank.

Marieke showed the girls the hand signs and said, "These are the hand signs. You perform them, then say 'Kuchiyose no Jutsu'."

"Here goes nothing..." Midori said and landed her hand on the ground. Smoke shot out everywhere. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

"This is so awesome!!!" Kyoko yelled.

"You got that right!" Nami agreed.

Please, please come out right, Midori prayed.

"What happened?" Kyoko asked.

Giggle, Giggle, Giggle

"What the?" Midori looked at what came out. Instead of a bird, there sat lifelessly…an egg?

"Heheh." Nami was holding back the laughter with a hand over her mouth and another hand on her stomach.

"That's…nice?" Kyoko moved her eyebrows to the left than right.

"Good try Midori," Marieke said.

"That's terrible…" Midori said, staring at the egg sadly.

"Uh, food!" Nami said with a pan with some sticks under it. Nami took the egg and was about to crack it when.

"What do you think you're doing?" Kyoko asked.

"What?"

"What do you think she's talking about?" Midori demanded, snatching the egg away. "There's a bird in there!"

"Oh...um I was hungry and...well um..." Nami was stared down by everyone. "Oh fine…"

"Alright who's next?"

"Me!" Kyoko yelled.

"Don't mess up. This is an wolf and if you mess up who knows what will appear," Nami mocked.

"Hahah. You're so funny Nami."

"I know!" Nami said.

Kyoko shook her head and started with the Kuchiyose no Jutsu.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Kyoko yelled. Smoke fell once more and everyone was ready for the big reveal.

"OMG!" Kyoko yelled.

"What?" Midori said.

"I did it!" Kyoko yelled.

"No way!" Nami said surprised.

"Yes, way!" Kyoko pointed to a little pup.

"That's great Kyoko, you did great for a first try." Marieke smiled.

"Thank you."

"Hey is it alive?" Nami asked slyly.

"I...dunno. I'll check," Kyoko said.

"OMG!! It's not breathing or moving, I KILLED IT!!!" Kyoko yelled.

"Oh no…here comes the fireworks," Midori said.

"Calm down, calm down Kyoko." Marieke tried to calm down the worried girl.

"I can't! I killed an innocent animal!" Kyoko yelled. Behind her Nami simply and calmly got up and walked over to Kyoko with a kunai in her right hand. She picked up the little pup and held it her left hand.

"Hey? What are you doing Na...?" Kyoko was stopped by a ripping sound. Nami had stabbed the little pup with the kunai.

"WTF? WHY'D YA DO THAT FOR?" Kyoko screamed.

"Look," Nami protested.

"Uh?" Kyoko said.

"Oh…now I see," Midori said.

"It's...not real?" Kyoko asked.

"Yes, Kyoko you released a stuffed animal," Nami said.

"Oh man!" Kyoko whined.

"That's okay you can try again, right after Nami!" Marieke said. "It happens sometimes if your chakra is too weak. Animals replace themselves with items. In your case, it was a stuffed animal. You're turn, Nami."

"Oh joy!" Nami cheered.

"This is gonna be good," Kyoko whispered to Midori.

"Here's goes nothing!" Nami bit her thumb and hit the ground with it. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Nami screamed.

"What happened this time?" Kyoko said.

"I wonder…" Midori said.

"Oh man what the heck is this?" Nami asked as the smoke cleared up and she, sensei and her teammates finally saw the object she had released. It was just a tail that was moving up and down.

"That is...?" Kyoko said.

"Interesting." Midori finished.

"No I was going to say weird." Kyoko corrected.

"Well at least you tried Nami." Marieke said.

"Dude that's just disgusting," Nami turned away from the tail that was coming or feeling closer, it finally disappeared in smoke.

"Yeah," Midori and Kyoko nodded.

"So who wants to try one more time?" Marieke asked.

"I do." Kyoko said.

"Of course." Nami said.

"Oh boy…" Midori sighed.

Later through the day the girls went through training and breaks looking over Hanako and her cat along with her annoying brother, Sato. They first went a little more with training and there were some interesting sights of what the three ninja came up with. There was a mutated wolf it was missing an eye and a leg and other weird things that appeared. Let's just say that if you heard the other interesting objects and things that appeared you would be a little uh... feel a little...uh how do I say this...you'll just vomit unless you like things like that. After a couple of hours of training with it almost at sun down, the three ninja were finally done.

"Alright training's over you can go and have you're lunch."

"A real late lunch actually. Don't they call it dinner?" Nami whispered to her friends.

"Are you sure Marieke-sensei?" Midori asked.

"Yes, you've guys have done better with your chakra control than I thought. I guess I won't have to do the next step today. You can go back."

"All right, bye," the girls started to walk away when.

Please forget about the special training, both Nami and Kyoko thought.
"I'm not finished with you, Nami, Kyoko come back here. You didn't think I'd forget you're special training did you?"

"Of course not!" Nami smiled.

"We just forgot ourselves about the whole thing," Kyoko said.

"Yeah see we're the BEST of FRIENDS now. We don't need any special training," Nami smiled as she and Kyoko faked hugged.

"I see... well then I guess you two could hug for the rest of the day. If you're that good of friends."
"Ew, get away from me, I don't like you like that, Kyoko!" Nami said as she pushed Kyoko to the ground.

"What? It was your idea last night." Kyoko was mad at her even more.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Nami said.

"Why I'm gonna..."

"See this is why you two need some special training, Marieke-sensei style." Marieke said.

"Why me? I'm fine until little miss short tempered psycho over here opens her BIG mouth." Nami said innocently said pointing her thumb at her.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?" Kyoko asked getting up in Nami's face.

"You heard me." Nami answered back.

"I dare you to say it again." Kyoko said.

"Girl, you are up in my grill space please...back up." Nami said pushing Kyoko backwards.

"Oh I'm sorry, Nami." Kyoko backed up.

"It's ok." Nami remarked back.

"Hey! Wait a sec, why do I have to apologize?" Kyoko yelled

This is going to take a little longer than I thought, Marieke thought letting out some air of stress.

"Shut up."

"No, you shut up."

"I told you first."

"I..."

"HATE YOU!?" Kyoko and Nami said at the same time.

"Ha. Black eyed jinx, now you can't speak until someone says your name ten times." Nami laughed.

"I HATE YOU! EVEN MORE!" Kyoko muttered under her breathe.

"What was that?"

"Girls, stop it now. Are you going to listen or what?" Marieke asked.

"Yes, Marieke-sensei," the girls said back.

"Good now here's your training." Marieke took out a piece of cloth and wrapped it around Kyoko's eyes so she couldn't see.

"What are we suppose to do with this, sensei? What…no—" Nami asked confused.

"Don't say it…" Kyoko finished in horror.

"Yes, this is a team building activities." Marieke told them both.

"NO!" Nami and Kyoko yelled which could be heard for miles.

Konoha

"Did you hear that?" Iruka asked the Hokage.

"No." the Hokage replied.

"Oh well let's get back to the game." Iruka said.

Marieke and her two frighten students

"Be quite and listen, it's really simple I had to do the same thing when I was younger than you guys. Now listen this is what you two do. Nami you tell Kyoko where to go you'll have to lead her forty meters south from this point. Then it's Kyoko's turn to lead Nami back to the house. I will wait there for you two. You have three hours starting now," Marieke said with a stop clock watch in her hand and continued with her instructions. "Oh there's a catch. If any of you happens to fall, trip or goes the wrong way you have to go back and do five push-ups twenty jumping jacks, fifty high kicks, and do it all over again. If you fail to do this activity, well let's just say that you don't want to know what's in store for you if that comes. Good luck!" Marieke disappeared.

Oh great my life is trusted in this girl, I'm dead! Kyoko thought.

This is going to be fun! Nami thought to herself.

Three minutes later

"Go straight, Kyoko!" Nami said with a laugh held in.

"Ow! Nami that was a tree again, now we have to do this all over again. Not to mention the push ups, jumping jacks, and high kicks," Kyoko said with frustration.

"Sorry. I promise nothing will happen like that again. I promise," Nami crossed her fingers behind her back when she started her high kicks.

Twenty minutes later

"Alright you're almost there, Kyoko! I'm not lying," Nami screamed with joy.

"Finally I'm happy, now it's your turn, Nami!" Kyoko grinned.

"Oh great! Now's it's my turn I'm just waiting for it!" Nami put the blindfold over her eyes and went in the direction that Kyoko told her.

"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Nami asked putting her hands out in front of herself.

"Yes, I know where you're going!" Kyoko said in front of her with her hands behind her head and her eyes shut.

Ouch.

"Sorry I forgot there was a tree there," Kyoko turned around to see Nami on the floor with her hand on her head.

"Thanks!"

One hour later

"It's almost sunset, we've got to go faster!" Kyoko said.

"Well, if you don't know I'm blind at the moment and can't walk very fast! Maybe I could though if you would tell me where to go!" Nami yelled.

"Hey, don't be mad at me that you have two left feet!" Kyoko yelled back.

"Two left feet! TWO LEFT FEET! I'LL SHOW YOU TWO LEFT FEET!" Nami kicked Kyoko's foot.

"Hey, why did you do that?" Kyoko asked, jumping on her only good right foot.

"Shut up and tell me where to go, now!" Nami ordered.

"Whoa now, someone's really mad…"

"Where do I GO!" Nami yelled.

"Go straight." Kyoko answered back scared.

Nami was in the front for the rest of the way until they finally made it to the house.

"Home, oh sweet home," Kyoko kissed the ground.

"Be quiet, this isn't even our home," Nami said in disgust.

"I knew that!"

"Let's go in." Nami took off her blindfold, entered through one of the doors, where an elderly woman bowed to them and took her shoes from them.

OMG! WHAT COULD THE MISSION BE ABOUT! HAHA! I know but sadly cannot tell you! Come by next week to read the next chapter of the girls first mission! R&R!
