Most of the people pretty much left the scene after the events that just occurred; Saiko felt no shock there. Muu had left his office to go investigate more about the murder of the elite Jounin they found floating in the river. Saiko and many others had stuck around to help clean up the aftermath of the party. Many offered to help clean up the bloody scene in the washroom but Muu had insisted they leave it because they had plans to investigate it later. But Saiko insisted they move the body and Muu gladly obliged to that; the medical team wasted no time removing it from the scene. The red head had taken it upon herself to send ANBU to notify the families of the victims and she made note to herself to have funerals arranged for them.
"Hey Saiko!" she turned her head to find her best friend Karin running toward her,
"Hey what's up?" she asked continuing her task of cleaning up and stacking the dishes that were to be taken to the kitchen.
"So you know the dead girl they just found? Turns out she's the daughter of one of those prominent clan leaders!"
"Karin you should not speak of her so rudely," she said, eyes narrowing in sadness. "She didn't deserve the die like that and mostly certainly does not deserve the name "dead girl."
"Hey sorry, But that's not all I wanted to tell you. So you know that new girl? That short kid with green hair and has all those ear piercings?" Saiko knew exactly who she was talking about; that strange girl who didn't know anything out the particle style or the village for that matter.
"Yes I do indeed know who you're referring to. In fact she's not a kid actually. She's 22."
"Whatever, she still looks like a brat to me, any idea where she came from? Any clans with green hair in the village?
"I have no idea. Karin I'm sorry but I am very busy at the moment." She said brushing past her and up the stair case carrying a stack of plates. "Plus I've got a lot of work to do and my child is still very sick."
"Hey I am baby sit the kid for ya!" Karin said following behind saiko as she made her way down the hallway toward the kitchen.
"Like hell I would leave him with you." She grumbled setting plates on the counter and began to wash them.
"Hey what's your deal? Ever since you got this job as Muu dono's assistant you've been acting different." She said crossing her arms. "Not to mention you're not as fun and you seem to never have time to train with me anymore. Are you sure you're not in over your head?"
"I'm totally sure. Now why don't you make yourself useful and help me!" she demanded, picking up the stack of clean plates and moving them across the kitchen; failing to notice she forgot one.
"Hey forgot one!" Karin said picking it up and tossing it at her. The blond hoped that it would land on top of the stack she was carrying but karma got the better of her as it hit the ground surprising saiko and caused her to lose her balance, sending all the plates flying to the ground with a shatter. The room went silent after that. All the people around them stopped, Karin felt many eyes fall upon her. The red head sat on the ground surrounded by broken glass, her back to Karin, she was thankful for this.
"Opps…My bad."
Then ever so slowly, saiko rose from the ground, glass clattering against the ground as it fell off her lap. With that same slow motion, she turned around to look at her.
"Get out." Was all that came out of her mouth as she pointed to the door.
"But-"
"GET OUT! OUT!" She screamed. Karin wasted no time shifting into high gear, along with many other people. Everyone who knew saiko well enough knew the full extent of the red heads temper and they didn't want to stick around for it. Saiko turned to face those who dared to stay put; they were all cowering in the corner afraid for their lives. "Well what are you waiting for?! GET BACK TO WORK DAMN IT! THESE DISHES ARE NOT GOING TO CLEAN THEMSELVES!" She screamed. Everyone listened without hesitation. All while this scene was occurring Muu was able to listen all the way up from this office. He let out a sign. He guessed right away someone pissed off saiko and now she was mad. He made a mental note to himself to stay out of her way for a few hours. But it didn't take long for her to make her way up to his office, not bothering to knock as she entered and slammed the door shut with more force than necessary.
"Ok what happened this time?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"PEOPLE! PEOPLE ARE WHAT HAPPENED! DEAR KAMI!" she screamed. Muu managed to catch a chair before it flew toward the open window.
"I see no point in getting mad. Our world is full of people." He exclaimed, setting the chair down and preparing himself to catch anymore objects saiko decided to throw.
"Yeah, full of STUPID people!" she fumed, plopping down the couch and kicking off her heels. Seeing that he wasn't going to get the story from her, he deciding to let it go and sat back down to finish his paper work. "You know what I need?"
"What?" he asked.
"A Mission? You got any for me? I will take anything you got!"
"And why would I give you other mission? You just finished one 3 days ago and I need you here." he exclaimed, not looking up from the document he was reading. Truth be told he did need her here, he couldn't read all of this by himself. Having moved from the couch, Saiko was standing right in front of his desk, arms crossed and eyes narrowed down at him in that special stance she did when she really wanted something and would not allow herself to be refused.
"You're a grown man; you can take care of yourself. I want a mission!" she said slamming her hands down on top of the document he was reading. He let out a sign of annoyance.
"Look even if I did want to give you something the entire long term missions has already been taken by other people. I don't have much to offer you except C or D rank missions."
"Well let's see what you got." She said bluntly grabbing a list of missions that were sitting beside him. She flipped through it until she came up something that made her eyes light of up. "Here!" she said setting the paper down and pointing to a mission on a spot in the booklet. "A border patrol mission, it will only take a day and I will be back tomorrow afternoon!"
"Tell me why you are so eager to get away?" he asked not bothering to look down at what she was shoving in his face.
"If I do then will you give it to me."
"No."
"Gah!" she screamed, shoving the paper down. "I need a break of all the shit that's happening around here!"
"And you call a mission a break." He asked casually chuckling. She shot him a death glare. "Fine. Fine. I will give it to you." He said taking a scroll and began to write the mission down on it.
"Thank you!"
"So who do you want to go with? Karin-San?" he asked not bothering to look up from his writing.
"No! Anyone else but her."
"What? You two get into a catfight or something?"
"Nah we had more of a…."accidental misunderstanding."
"Do I even dare ask?" he chuckled, handing the scroll to her.
"Remember, it's only an overnight thing and I want you back here by noon tomorrow. Not later or sooner than that, got?" he spoke as they headed for the front gate of the village.
"Yeah Yeah I know." She muttered, her tone very annoyed. It had been almost 3 hours after the incident and things were as hectic as ever. The red head, clad in black plated armor with two swords strapped to her back and her hair pulled back with a black forehead protector on, was ready to get away from all of it. Muu had decided to escort Saiko to the front gate for his own personal reasons despite her complaints. "Well, I'm off. See you at noon!" she said as they approached the entrance. She gave a signal for the guards to open it.
"One more thing Saiko-San, be careful. If we have a killer on the loose its best you watch your back. I don't want you ending up dead as well."
"I'm aware of that." She crossed her arms over her breast plated chest. "Stop underestimating me would ya?"
"OK…well, I'm going to take a look around the village here and see if I can find anything. The thought of an actual spy in the village makes me a little nervous."
"Well good luck!" she waved and before he knew it she was off. 'You be careful as well, Muu Dono.' She thought to herself as she sprinted off into the tree tops.
