"Katana! Open the door!"
"What?" she grumbled opening it and Kiba ran in knocking her over. "Ow! Geez... are you on something or what?"
"No I'm not but are you ready yet cause we have to meet up with Kurenai-sensei soon."
"Yeah, yeah. I'm packed now will you get off me?" she grunted looking at him.
"Right, sorry." he got up and helped her up.
"Do whatever you want, I'll be back down soon." Katana said and ran back up the stairs to her room. She pulled out her clothes and got changed, quickly brunched her hair, tying her bandana around her forehead, grabbed her bag and went back down stairs while trying to get her shoe on. Come on get on stupid thing! She sighed. Finally!
"You ready to head off, Kiba?" Katana asked looking at him.
"Yeah, let's get going." he stood up and they left and went to the east gates to the village where Hinata, Shino and Kurenai were waiting for them.
"Yeah, yeah. I know what your gonna say but why are we here?"
"We need to get to the Hokage first, Katana so come on." Kurenai said and lead he team to Tsunade's study.
"Come in," she said knowing it was them and they walked in.
"So what's the mission?" Katana asked right up front, Tsunade laughed.
"Your as bad as Naruto,"
"I know but I don't care. So what is it?" Katana said with a smile.
"You will be taking a very important man back to his village and help him,"
"Take him back," Katana said to herself
"You must protect him and get him there safely to his village,"
"What village is he from?"
"The land of waves, this is a C-ranked mission, this man is a bridge builder and you know the drill,"
"Yes, we know it." Katana said and thought about Kaya and that's first real mission.
A drunken man walked into the room with a bottle in his hand and Katana, literally fell over her own feet.
"This runt is taking me back to my home, I was expecting more," he said looking right at Katana.
"What was that you drunk man," she growled
"And an attitude to, I could just go back without her." Katana clinched her fists.
"I suggest you shut up right now and if you don't I'll knock you out and give you to other ninja that want you dead!" she snapped at him, Kiba and Shino were holding her back by her arms so she wouldn't try and do it.
"Calm down, Katana. Tazuna, these are some of our best ninja at there age and you really shouldn't be insulting them." Tsunade said and walked over.
"I will not calm down until he shuts up!" Katana said throw clinched teeth and Tazuna nodded.
"I apologize, I didn't mean to be so rude,"
"Sure you didn't."
"Katana," Kurenai said and Katana relaxed and nodded her head.
"They will be taking over from here and will get you back to your home, Tazuna."
"Very well,"
"Geez... you don't even sound drunk anymore but I know you are." Katana grumbled to herself and yanked her arms away from the boys.
"We should get going so we don't burn out the light," Kurenai said and turned to the Hokage. "Good-bye, Lady Tsunade." she nodded and they left.
"Isn't this what Naruto wanted to do? Why do I have to take care of him?" Katana growled.
"Will you calm down, Katana. This might have been what Naruto wanted to do but they were out on a mission and couldn't take it so squad eight got selected."
"Okay, okay. I get it, quit giving me leathers about stuff I already know." Katana said and walked off ahead of her squad and stop listening to her squad leader.
"So what are you're names youngsters?" Tazuna asked looking at them.
They looked at him then away and Kurenai asked. "I'm Kurenai and these youngsters are Kiba and Akamaru," Akamaru barked in greeting. "Shino, Hinata and that is Katana, she isn't one to get along with everyone very well,"
"I can hear you if you didn't know that and I really don't care who this old guy is." Kurenai sighed. How did I get stuck with her on my squad? Oh well I guess there was a reason for it, I guess. Whatever it was, what was the reason? Kurenai thought and Katana slowed down after a while after she had calmed down. The land of waves, it sound's like it was close to the water village but it most likely wasn't anywhere near it One day, one day I'll find my village and the water village and avenge them! She thought and decide to concentrate on what she was meant to be doing encase they were attacked.
"Why do I have to be protected by little kids?" Tazuna thought out loud.
"Because these 'little kids' are ninja and could kick your ass," Katana snapped getting very annoyed with his complaining.
"You heard me?"
"Yeah, your talking out loud. Loud enough to alert an enemy and get attacked so shut up or I'll tie you up, tape your mouth and carry you all the way back to the land of waves unconscious," Katana said stopping and turned around. "Got it!?" Tazuna nodded and stood right next to Kurenai seeing as she would be the only one to stop Katana from attacking him.
"Is she always like this?" Tazuna asked Kurenai.
"Yes basically but she can be nice when she really want's to be and gives me a brake once in a while."
"I don't know how you got her on you-" he was cut short when Katana jumped out of site and was right in front of him in seconds.
"Shut up," she whispered and reached for a Kunai. Hinata, Kiba and Shino got ready as well and went to Tazuna and surrounded him. Kurenai was at his side with the other three around him and Katana in front.
"You're a sharp one, girl," a man's voice said and Katana's head looked to her side but nothing was there. "You are very sharp if you were the first to notice."
"Who the hell are you!?"
"Me, you don't need to know,"
"Well then what do you want,"
"Nothing, just a bit bored and saw you walking by so you not have fun." he said and then a group of ninja jumped out of the trees and started attacking them. Kiba, Hinata and Shino jumped away and started to fight, Kurenai moved away and was fighting, and Katana stood there holding the Kunai for an attack. A sharp sound came from behind him and she moved swiftly and knocked the Kunai's off target.
"Damn it!" the man said and ran at her with his sword. Katana put her Kunai away and grabbed the halt of her sword, drawing it from its sheath and held it up in front of her. He struck and Katana moved with him and pushed Tazuna out of the way and she dodged the man's attack and clashed swords with him throwing in a few punches when she could.
"Kiba, are you okay!?" Katana called running up to him and stood back to back with him with four ninja around them.
"Yeah, I'm fine, what about you?"
"Never felt better," Katana said with a huge smile on her face. "Gotta run, have to protect the disrespectful idiot." Kiba nodded and Katana ran off to where Tazuna was standing with two ninja in front of him and his back to a tree. Katana growled as if she was a cat and hit the two ninja over the head with her fists. "Get this, you touch him don't think to live another day." she glared at them as they attacked her again. Hinata was fighting off two of them, Shino as well, Kurenai was fighting off as many as she could that attacked her, and Kiba was doing the same. Shuriken when at Katana without her knowing and they got her in the side. She cringed and looked at them with her blood on them and pulled them out. Kurenai ran over with the others.
"Katana, are you okay?" she asked and Katana didn't reply and was growling. She looked up and all you could see was hatred in her eyes, her teeth clinched together and her hands clinching the halt of her sword.
Minutes went by and they were getting somewhere with this. They were all hurt but still fort. One of the men hit Katana with something and she hit the ground trying to keep herself up.
"Katana!" Hinata called and when over. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, what the hell was that?"
"Poison and its spreading throughout your body. So who knows how long you have to live."
"Damn you!" Katana snapped with a growl, she stood up slowly holding her arm and glared at the man. "I'll kill you if it's the last thing that I have to do!" she sprinted at him as fast as she could with a Kunai in her hand and they started fighting again. Many of the men throwing what they could at them and hurting them as much as they could, Katana was having trouble fighting as well as she could but she still wouldn't give up not on her life.
