Info: Welcome back all! In this part Kimi and the others take on their very first mission, babysitting. Things go wrong awfully fast when the kid gets sick. Plus, Kakashi isn't there either. What are they to do?
Chapter 3
It was the next morning after the new Team Seven was formed. Kimi got up bright and early, excited for the day. The group would be starting its first mission today and she couldn't wait to get started. "Hey dad, what are we actually doing today?"
"You'll have to wait and see," Kakashi told her. He was over at the table in the kitchen, having his breakfast. Well, that was the truth. She would have to wait and see. They wouldn't know what they would be doing today, until they spoke with Lord Hokage.
Kimi went over to the counter and poured her a bowl of cereal and sat down next to her father at the table, "Whatever it is, I can't wait. This is a big step for me. I've been waiting years to start taking on missions, just like you do." She had no idea it wouldn't be that simple. So a few hours later when the whole team was gathered at the Hokage office Kimi bugged out, "Babysitting! You're kidding right!? I have more important things to do with my talent besides looking after some snot nosed brat!"
"I totally agree! This mission is so lame!" Naruto yelled. He too had been excited about taking on some big exciting mission that would have him leaving the village. He had no idea he'd be stuck with something boring like this.
"Well, the parents have to go off on an important trip and they need someone to look after their son while they're gone," Lord Hokage told the group.
"We'll do it," stated Kakashi.
"But…" Kimi sighed. She was cut off when Kakashi dragged the four of them out of the office, "Hey! What's the deal dad!?" She yelled at him after they were outside and he'd let the four of them go.
"You were making a scene," Kakashi told her.
"But why'd you grab the rest of us?" Sasuke questioned him.
"Because… I guess I don't know," Kakashi laughed a bit with his one eye that was showing closed. His four students fell over, anime style.
"You're kidding!" Sakura yelled. The group then made it to the child's house to find it was a small five year old boy they were looking after. He seemed to be a sweet child, however looks can be deceiving. Kakashi even left his students there alone, thinking they could handle something like this by themselves.
Right after Kakashi left the boy started getting into things, "Hey! Don't touch that. It's sharp!" Kimi gasped, taking the knife away from the boy before he could hurt himself with it.
"You meanie!" The boy kicked her in the leg and ran off. Kimi yelled in pain.
"That snot nosed brat! Hey!" Kimi yelled. Naruto tried to grab him but he just punched him in the nose and giggled, running around the room. Now Naruto was mad. He yelled at the kid, holding his bloody nose as he chased after him.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Naruto questioned as the boy opened the door and ran outside. The four of them dashed outside after the child, trying to catch him before he'd hurt himself. The boy slipped in a mud puddle as he ran around the yard as well.
"Got you!" Naruto grabbed him.
"Don't be so rough idiot! He's only a child!" Sakura hit Naruto upside the head. He let the boy go, holding his head painfully.
"Sakura, what was that for?" He questioned her.
"Nevermind that you two. We've got a huge problem here." Kimi was holding the child in her arms where he'd passed out, "He's burning up with fever."
"Let me see." Sasuke felt his forehead, "He seems very hot. Bring him inside. We'll have to lower his fever right away." The four took the boy inside, cleaned him up and put him to bed right away. Kimi went to the bathroom and got a bucket of ice cold water and a few washcloths. Sakura was making the kid a bowl of soup while Naruto was cleaning up and Sasuke was looking for some medicine to bring down the fever.
Kimi came back into the room with the stuff in her hands and sat the rag on the boy's forehead, after ringing it off a bit. "We must get his fever down before his parents come home."
"We will," Sasuke entered the room with a bottle of fever reducer pills.
"Uh… Sasuke, how is he supposed to take that when he's asleep?" Kimi asked him.
"I do know a bit of ninja medical first aid you know. I can use this, and he doesn't even have to swallow it." Sasuke's hand glowed a bit. This was medical jutsu. Though Sasuke wasn't very good at it, it would be enough to get the pill into the kid's system. Then, holding the pill in his hand as his hand glowed he pushed the pill through the boy's body, right into his stomach.
"That was a good idea Sasuke," she told him. Kimi and Sasuke sat in the room with the boy until Sakura came in with the soup. The smell of it woke the kid up.
"Good timing. Think you could try and eat a bit of this soup?" Kimi asked him.
"Ewww! No way!" The kid told her.
"Oh come on. It's really good. See?" Sakura took a small bite of the soup to show him what she meant as she put on a fake smile. The truth was, the soup tasted awful. But she wasn't about to let him know that.
"Oh well, if you say so." The boy gave in. Kimi helped him sit up in bed and Sakura fed him the soup. After the boy finished eating he laid back down, going back to sleep. Sakura went to wash the dishes while Sasuke and Kimi continued watching after the child.
An hour later just as the boy's fever begin to break that was when Kakashi returned to check up on his students, "How are things?" He asked as he just popped in from out of nowhere.
"Dad!" Kimi gasped as she jumped, "Would you not do that please? You scared me half to death. Where were you anyway?"
Kakashi grinned at her as he joked, "Off on the other side of the world."
"Dad!" She snapped in anger. "That's not true and you know it."
"Quiet Kimi, you'll distrub him," Sasuke told her. He turned to Kakashi, "He was sick but it's been taken care of. Naruto and Sakura are in the other room cleaning up." Kakashi nodded as he left the room to check on his other two students.
Kimi then got up, "I'm going to get some more water." Sasuke nodded as Kimi took the bucket into the bathroom and filled it up with more cold water. A few hours later the boy's fever broke and he was all better. His parents returned and the mission was completed. The four of them went home and Kakashi went to report the mission's success to Lord Hokage.
