Graveyard –
The graveyard of Tarnation was usually dead silent after the town's people left. A single large structure stood in the middle of the graveyard, a two story house. But that silence was broken as the sounds of battle rang through the air as three women were fighting tooth and nail against the three leaders of the band of bandits of the ghost town. The town full of bandits erupted in explosions as the leader of the team attacking the bandits took care of the underlings of the gang.
"Why does Niamh get the fun job?" Meow asked as she evaded the swing of Loaf's shovel.
"Stand still!" Loaf shouted as his powerful built arms swung his shovel at Meow with surprising speed. Despite his large frame, he is agile enough to keep up with Meow as she darts in and out hitting him every chance she gets.
"He actually thinks you're going to do that," Maki said as she blocks the thrust of Jesse halbard.
"You should keep your eyes foreword," Jesse said as he deadlocks his halbard with Maki's massive sword. A pale skinned man with a slender frame, he prove while not as strong as Maki is in brute force he's much faster and can attack at a much faster rate then she could. "You have strength but your weapon is powerful but it doesn't matter if you can't hit me."
"You talk too much," Maki said as she grabs him by his hand and throws him into a tombstone breaking it on impact. Jesses got up in time to block the incoming blade of Maki as she made a leaping attack at him.
At the other end of the graveyard Ran stood facing with the bandit leader Mr. Black. "You have something that doesn't belong to you," Ran said as she draws her sword.
Mr. Black a small weak looking man dressed all in black, but seemed to be able to carry a large coffin that's strapped onto his back. "No one takes back from what I have taken," Mr. Black said as he pulls the coffin off of his back and flops it flat on its back, opening the lid and a kuni machine gun popped out from a spring contraption. He started firing kunis at Ran as he turns the crack on the side of the gun. (1)
"Maki some help here would be nice," Ran shouted as she swings her sword in front of her deflecting all of the kunis being fired at her.
"Right," Maki said as she pulls the bottle-rocket launcher from her back with one hand as the other held her sword as she blocks Jesse's attacks. She took aim and fired a rocket at Mr. Black, he didn't notice the speeding rocket as he was too busy firing away at Ran to notice until the sound got his attention. He saw the rocket just as it struck his chest blowing up sending him flying backwards from the blast. He lifted his head upwards once before falling back down.
"What you got one of those guns?" Jesse said as he had heard about them through the inns and bars where bandits hanged out.
"Yes she does," Ran said from behind him before she cuts his head off. "Comeback to life from that."
"He was mine," Maki said to her.
"You remember from the reports of him surviving the hanging he was given. I just wanted to make sure he wouldn't comeback this time," Ran responded.
"Mr. Black!" Loaf shouted seeing his boss down.
"Pay attention!" Meow shouted as she delivers a powerful kick to his head sending him spinning backwards and hitting a tombstone breaking it on impact. "He's down."
"You think Niamh is done with the other bandits yet?" Ran asked as she takes a drink from her sake jug.
"I don't hear anymore fighting from the town I guess she finished off them about now," Maki said.
The gate of the graveyard opened as a man burst through the metal gate doors, his clothes were splattered with blood and had a wild look in his eyes. "Boss the woman with those…" He lost his voice when he saw the three women and the boss down on the ground, but he didn't had time to think as a knife drove deep into his back. He chocked on his blood before falling face first to the ground. Standing behind him was the Get Backer's leader Niamh.
"Sorry, I'm late but there were more of them then I thought," she said to her team.
"We already took care of the boss and his two lackeys," Meow said as she pointed to Loaf but to her surprise he was gone. "Where did he go?"
"He's took Mr. Black with him," Maki said as she looks where the graveyard gang lay, the only thing they left behind was Mr. Black's kuni machine gun.
"They couldn't have gone too far," Ran said.
"Looks like that big lug picked him up and ran over to that tombstone," Maki said using her tracking skills to good use, she pointed to a tombstone.
"There must be a trap door under it," Niamh said as she walks over to the tome. She kneeled down to find the hidden door when the tombstone exploded.
"Niamh!" Meow shouted seeing her engulfed in the blast.
"That would have hurt," Niamh said standing besides her team.
"You use your blood limit?" Maki ask.
"Yeah saw the flash and activated it before the blast got to me," she answers.
"Well their escape tunnel is now sealed off from here," Ran said.
"I guess that's how they stole the valuables from the graves," Niamh said. "They must have tunnels right under the graveyard."
"So much for those bounties," Maki said.
"At least we still have Jesse bounty and the bandits Niamh killed," Meow pointed out.
"Let's search the house for the sword they stole," Niamh said.
"And for any valuables they also kept there," Meow said.
"I going to see what they have to drink," Ran said as she had run out of sake.
"Niamh," Maki said as the other two members of their group went inside the bandits HQ.
"Yes?" she asked.
"Next time leave some for me," Maki said.
"Fine," Niamh said as she followed Meow and Ran into the building with the tallest member right behind her.

Back in the Leaf Village –
"Okay Hinata take aim and fire when ready," Naruto said as Hinata took aim at the target board two yards away in front of her. They were outside the fort at the shooting range Niamh had set up for them to sharpen their skills in firearms.
"I will…" Hinata said as she pointed her new gun at the target and firers one bullet after another. The lead bullets flew at the target but none hit the bulls-eye in the middle.
"Hinata you need to hold your gun tight and don't firer it so fast the shots throw your aim off," Naruto explained.
"Sorry," Hinata said as she only had nine rounds to use before she was out.
"Working hard I see," Kurenai said as she appeared. With the exams a few weeks away all of the teams that are going to be tested, were all on D-class missions.
"Yeah with the exams a few weeks away we need to get ready," Naruto said.
"Niamh fighting style is kind of hard to learn," Hinata said as she had to learn to use both a long range and short range weapon at the same time something that no one had ever used before. As the long weapons of the Element countries couldn't be use in the same manner of Niamh's guns.
"Kiba and Shino are busy training for the exams as well," Kurenai said as she has been training her team since she made the decision to sign her team to compete in the exam.
"Yeah Sakura is busy back in the fort working on her wrestling moves and learning to swing her machete, from the lessons that Ran and Mika gave her," Naruto explained.
"Where's the rest of your team?" Kurenai ask Naruto.
"Sasuke is with Kakashi," Naruto said. "Ever since Niamh took me and Sakura under her wing, Kakashi has been spending more time with Sasuke."
"That sounds like him," Kurenai said.
"Yeah he never did really train us after the mission in Waves," Naruto said. "Niamh and the others took over after me and Sakura started training under her."
"She's a really good teacher," Hinata said as Niamh has been going slow with her to let her get a feel with her new weapons before going into the advance training.
"NARUTO, HINATA GET IN HERE!" Sakura shouted from inside the walls of the fort.
Jumping inside the fort the three nins saw the fort in chaos, as chickens were running all over the place. Looking around they saw Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon chasing after the chickens trying to get them back into their pen. Sakura walk up to them with two chickens under her arms.
"Quick go and grab a chicken," she said as she runs over to the chicken pen.
"Right," Naruto said as he began chasing the chickens around.
"Let's help them," Hinata said to Kurenai as she runs after a running chicken.
"Right," the older ninja said as she grabs two chickens as they ran too close to her.
"How did this happen?" Naruto ask Sakura as he gets pecked by the chicken he caught.
"Those three came to see you," Sakura said pointing to the three young kids trying to catch one of the birds. "I told them that you were busy with Hinata and they needed to wait. When they said they wanted something to do I told them to go feed the chickens and somehow they all managed to escape."
"It's not like we wanted them to get out," Konohamaru said.
"Yeah we were just trying to help," Moegi adds.
"The chickens just ran out when we open the gate," Udon said.
"We need to get them all in before…," Sakura began to say as she saw the main gate of the fort opening and Niamh and the rest of her party came in. "Before Niamh and the others comeback."
"Hello," Niamh said as she closes the gate behind her before any of the chickens manages to escape the fort. "Mind telling me why all of the chickens are running around?"
"Ask Naruto's friends here," Sakura said pointing to the three younger kids.
"Sorry about this," Konohamaru said as he rubs the back of his head.
"Just get all of them back in," Niamh said. "And someone remind me to put a lock on the chicken pen."
"Put a lock on the chicken pen?" Naruto asked.
"That way when its time to feed them you just throw the seeds through the wire mess instead of opening the pen door," she answers.
"How was the mission?" Kurenai ask.
"We killed off the entire gang of bandits but for the leader Mr. Black and his sidekick Loaf," Meow said.
"They got away while we weren't looking," Ran said.
"But we manage to recover almost all of the stolen loot," Maki said pointing to the wagon filled with crates of loot hooked up to Niamh's bike.
"I'm going to ring Emmy to pick up the sword. Kurenai you tell the Hokage to send me a list of stolen goods that have gone missing around Tarnation so we can try to find their owners. Maki, Ran you two go and start putting the loot into the storeroom for safe keeping, I'll help as soon as I can. As for you Meow catch four of the chickens and prepare them to be cook, I'm going to cook up some fried chicken for dinner," Niamh told them.
"Why you need so many?" Meow asked.
"I invited Gai and his team over for dinner. He just gotten out of the hospital," Niamh answered.
"He's still having trouble moving his arm around," Kurenai said as Gai wanted to continue on being a ninja even with his injuries. She just hopes that the former student of the Hokage gets here soon to fix his shoulder.
"Fried chicken?" Hinata ask.
"It's a dish from where I'm form," Niamh said before turning to Kurenai. "How about your team comes over for dinner as well?"
"Sure I would love too," she responded.
"Can we come?" Moegi asked.
"Get the chickens into their pen first then we talk," Niamh said.
"Alright," Udon said running after another chicken.
"Hear that Hinata you're staying for dinner," Naruto said to her. Hinata just blush.
"Come on, Naruto," Sakura said tossing two chickens into the pen. "There's plenty more we need to catch."
"Right," Naruto said as he went back to work.

Inside Niamh's room –
Niamh close the door behind her as she walks over to her desk laying out her weapons and gear on her desk as she sits down. Ever since she started the Get Backers she and the others of her crew had been busy getting back stolen items as well as collecting bounties on wanted villains. They have been racking in the cash as more and more people began using them to get back stolen items back for them, and with Emmy getting them the jobs they weren't stuck with jobs like getting that cat that keeps on running away back to its owner.
She also has been busy training all of her students in becoming better in fighting. Naruto and Hinata are coming along nicely in learning CQC and using the gun fighting stance she invented getting the idea for it from that movie she saw. Sakura is doing well in her wrestling moves and learning sword skills from the forts two swordswomen. As for the other three students she's been training them in becoming faster on their feet. Meow when she isn't out in the field wears iron shoes to weigh her down so she'll be faster on her feet. Ran has been training hard with her training so she'll be able to at least hit her when they train together. And Maki has been training hard as well, but she always looking for any leads on the person whose responsible for the attack on her village.
Which reminds Niamh that she has to get ready for the upcoming exams. When she'll be fighting against the best the countries and Hidden Villages could throw at her. She knows sooner or later her forts going to be under attack by people who want her weapons. She has already prepared an escape plan for that, using the truck she brought back to the fort. The power to move between seconds is quite useful at times like that. (2)
She was about to make the call to Emmy when her radio turned on as someone tuned in on her channel. She pressed the button to hear who's on the channel and got the shock of her life.
"Niamh do you read me? This is Hunter, I came to bring you home. Over."
