As we walked to the Hokage's office for our mission, I notice Ken looking at sensei's behind more than usual. I nudge him.

"We're going on a mission, hormones can wait." I hiss at him. Sensei nods approvingly.

"Being so easily distracted during a mission can get you killed Ken. Keep your mind out of the gutters for the length of one mission, ok?" She asks. Ken chuckles sheepishly.

"Sorry, sorry. I got it, no distractions for the rest of the time until the mission we get is done." He replies. Sometimes, it surprises me on how understanding my sensei is about hormones.

We enter the hokage's office.

"Ah, Team Dakeri. What kind of mission are you here for?" The hokage asks.

"Hokage-sama, I'd like to request a C-rank mission." Sui-sensei says. The hokage gives us all a look.

"You heard about team 7." He's not asking. We all nod. "Well, I have an escort mission for a merchant who wants to make sure he doesn't get robbed or killed on his way to Taki." The hokage offers. Sensei nods. "Here's the mission scroll, your dismissed."

After sensei informs us of the scroll's information, we go to the merchant. Sensei looks at us.

"I'll be putting you all in charge of the mission unless things get rough. Who will be team leader?"

We all look at eachother.

"Dar-kun."

"Myself."

"Dar."

We all said I should be the team leader. Good, makes me feel important. "You will talk to our client than. Remember, you represent Kohonaha." My sensei says. I nod. I see the merchant, his name is Janao Bin. My team aporia he's him.

"Janao Bin, you requested an escort to Taki, correct?" I ask. He looks to me.

"Are you 4 my escorts?" He asks.

"Yes, we are ready to go when you are." I answer. He nods. He gets in his carriage and his carriage driver gets it moving to the village exit. We follow.

"Shinobi-san, what is your name? Janao asks me.

"Darge Dakeri." I answer. "It will be about a week of travel time before we reach Taki. Are there going to be any places we go to I between?"

"No, we're going straight there. We'll only stop to rest."

Three days later

We're just going to Taki, minding our own business, when I sense chakra from people, and as we keep going, I sense a lot more. "Halt driver-san!" I command. He stops the carriage immediately. Sui-sensei gives me a look. Everyone is waiting for my reason.

"There are more than 15 sharks signatures up ahead." I explain. Sui-sensei gives me a disapproving look.

"When we get back to the village, you are giving me a full and detailed report of every aspect of you. I'm your sensei, I'm supposed to know what your capable of. That goes for you two as well." Sui-sensei says sternly. We each nod.

"How are we going to handle this, Dar?" Ken asks. I think for a moment.

"I'll go forward and make sure they are in fact hostile. Janao-san, you stay her with Sui-sensei until I say otherwise. Ken, Midori, come to my assistance if you notice an explosion. Stay away if you notice 3 explosions. If I don't come back in 2 minutes assume the worse and Sui-sensei should take over." I finish and zoom forward. As I get closer to the signatures, I realize that there are 25 people in total. I soon get within seeing range. What I saw made it obvious that these were bandits. It was a typical bandit camp, it had two destroyed carriages and a few dead bodies around it. I put chakra into the tree I'm on and send it to be below all 25 members.

"Hey! Are you guys bandits?" I ask loudly. I get their attention. One of them laughs.

"Yes, we are, and you're dead!" As soon as he says that I blow up the ground beneath his feet, half a second later I blow up someone else, another half second and I blow up a third person. I Immediately blow all of them up after the third individual explosion. That cost about a third of my chakra. I put too much in the ground and used more than was needed. At least all of them were dead and I didn't have any blood on me. I rush back to my team.

"I handled it, we can continue up the path now, driver-san." I tell them. They all look at me. Ken and Midori look concerned. While sensei looks neutral.

"Darge, did you just kill 15 hostiles?" Sui-sensei asks me. I shake my head.

"I was off earlier, there were 25 bandits." I respond. Everyone just stares at me.

"Have...have you ever killed before now, Darge-kun?" My sensei asks, her nuetral look falling to show concern. "I'm sure our client would understand if you needed time." She continues. The client nods his head. I shake mine.

"My explosion technique wasn't intentionally made, I was about to be killed by a drunk civilian before I joined the academy. I killed him with an explosion that was made by accident. I'm sort of shocked that Hokage-sama didn't inform you of this when you were assigned to be our sensei. Though, I guess that explains why you let me touch your arm during the test." I finish. Silence.

We make close to Taki just fine, with no more distractions. The Taki shinobi take care if the merchant as we leave. Janao paid us each extra than what we would of already gotten when we reported a success to the hokage. When we got back to the village, sensei told us to not forget to turn in our own individual reports about the mission. When Ken started cooking my favorites, and Midori insisted on sharing my bed with her, I realized that my team was worried for me, it felt nice. But I was perfectly fine, I killed bandits, I didn't lose a loved one.

"Why do you keep looking at me like that, Midori-chan?" I ask my girlfriend. She doesn't react to my question. She just keeps looking me In The eye. Then, she reaches her face closer to mine and as her arms on the back of my neck. Oh. Oooh. She kisses me on the lips. It's quick, but I get this feeling in my chest none the less. "Mid..." I don't get to finish as Midori kisses me again, and we start making out. When she pulls away, I can't take my eyes off of her.

"I'm always here for you, Darge-kun. Don't forget that. I...I love you." She says. The feeling in my chest gets ten times stronger after that.

"I love you too, Midori." We fall asleep in eachother's arms, tired from making out.
