"Where is Ibuki Sarai I have a mission assignment for her?" the ninja instructor asked. "Oh that is easy she…" before she replied she heard footsteps from Ibuki. "Right around the corner, and she will be with you momentarily" she replied feeling revived.

"Right here, reporting for duty sir." Ibuki reported interrupting Sarai. Sarai signed in relief.

"It's about time, now then let's go over your task at hand." The ninja master instructor said.

"He nearly found out about you, be more careful." Sarai whispered in Ibuki ear. Ibuki giggled in mistake.

"Now then Ibuki this is your mission at hand." The ninja master gave her a scroll.

"So what's it say?" Sarai asked.

"It says that I have to retrieve file information from a million dollar company, and then retrieve samples from their garden." Ibuki replied reading the scroll. "Really that's it." Sarai asked.

"Yep, pretty much." Ibuki replied.

Ibuki started to look through data files from the corporation documents. "I know they got to be around somewhere." Ibuki searched and searched until she heard footsteps.

"Is there someone there?" the security guard called. Ibuki was alerted of his presence as she quickly disappeared. The guard searched all around armed with a flashlight. Ibuki hung on the ceiling. The security guard was very cautions as he looked all over the place, but he found nothing. "Man I really need more sleep. I'm starting to hear things." He yawned.

As the cost was clear Ibuki hopped down to continue to check the company file database on her mission. Ibuki pulled out a mini camera and took shots of the company files. "There looks like I'm done." Ibuki cheered. Ibuki took a nice walk around the company grounds, but then crossed an invisible red line triggering the alarm.

"Oh Crap…!"cried Ibuki. Ibuki went into hiding in the air vents. A group of security guards surrounded the area as they were alerted of Ibuki presence. "Spread out and search the area." One guard ordered the other guards as they got on guard arming themselves with handguns.

Ibuki continued to crawl through the air vent quietly trying to escape the company. Ibuki then accidently stepped on a needle that she nearly screamed in pain, but covered her mouth. The guards then got alerted of her presence in the air vent. "I'll check in here." He said. The guard checked the air vent. Ibuki quick reflex cut the smoke pipe creating a smoke screen and taking the time to escape.

"See anything there?" One guard asked.

"Just a puff of smoke sir." The guard reported.

Later on the next day, Ibuki hopped from house to house in a village carrying a bag peaches. "Quite the harvest, this will last for mouths. The sooner I'm done with this mission the sooner I'll be able to spend more time with Koji. He might even try to ask me out. What can possibly go wrong?" Ibuki smiled blushing.

Suddenly out of nowhere, a red ninja caught Ibuki by the collar making her drop her supplies. "No… and I work so hard to get them." Ibuki whined.

"This is as far as you go. You little thief." The red ninja barked.

"Thief…? These are research materials and I'm in the middle of a mission." Ibuki shot back.

"You can't fool me little girl. Now just return what you stolen and I will let you go unharmed." Guy demanded.

"Thanks as tempting as that offer sounds. I think I'll pass." Ibuki replied as struggled to escape then used a smoke bomb to vanish. Overwhelmed by the smoke bomb Guy still held his grip as coughed to the effects of the bomb.

"You really think your childish tricks are going to…" before guy to finish his sentence he found Ibuki ninja outfit in his hands, but Ibuki.

"What!"

"Sorry pal. I don't feel like being caught so easily. Take this as a memento." Ibuki threw a peach at Guy, as he caught it. Ibuki leaped away from him. "Oh and by the way. You're not bad looking." She complimented vanishing.

"For a brat she sure did manage to elude me. Guess I underestimated her." Guy smiled.

"Maybe I should do something for her." He thought instantly. He sat alone on the roof thinking about Ibuki.

Ibuki reported to her master on completion of her mission. "You were far too careless Ibuki. Next time I expect more from you as a rank of a ninja. Meditate on your incompetence." the ninja master lectured.

"Yes sir." Ibuki replied.

As school ended Ibuki was still limping after being in meditation for so long. "Ugh man I don't believe this. Five hours of meditation and my feet still feel weak." Ibuki complained trying to get her foot balance back. Koji then caught with Ibuki out of the blue surprised seeing each other. Both Koji and Ibuki were speechless.

"Ibuki…I've been looking for you." Koji broke.

"Yeah. Um, you were?" Ibuki replied surprised.

"Listen…I want to ask you out on a DATE. Say tomorrow afternoon." Koji cried blushed hard. He gripped his fist.

Ibuki was dead frozen as she was blushing over Koji question. She instantly replied. "Sure, why not?" She replied with a kind smile.
