Chapter 6- Mission

"Sasuke, I'm in point B." 

"Sakura, I'm in point C."

"Alison, I'm in point D."

"Naruto, I'm in point A. Believe it!"

"You're too slow Naruto," Kakashi muttered, "Okay squad 7,"

"Taget has moved!" Sasuke interrupted.

"Follow it!"

We all followed cautiously behind our moving target, until it stopped again, and so did we.

"What's your distance from the target?" Kakashi asked.

"5 meters," Naruto replied, "I'm ready, just give the signal."

"I'm ready too," Sasuke said.

"So am I," I muttered boredly.

"And I," Sakura finished.

"Okay... now!" 

We all jumped from where we were at and tried to catch the target.

"I got him, I got him!" Naruto shouted as he squished the poor kitty to death.

"Lost pet Tora captured," Kakashi said. "Mission accomplished."

"Can't we get a better mission than this? I hate cats!" Naruto shouted.

"Naruto!" I scolded as I took the cat away from him, and it instantly relaxed. Naruto was squishing the poor thing, of course it scratched Naruto in return.

Wow... so that's why the cat escaped... I mean I already knew but still poor cat. We all stood wide-eyed watching as Tora’s fat owner was squishing the poor thing into her ugly face.

"HA! Stupid cat, it deserves to be squashed," Naruto said as he laughed.

"I don't think anyone deserves that," I muttered as I turned to Naruto scowling.

"No wonder he ran away..." Sakura muttered.

“Good, now a new mission…” the Hokage said as the woman got out of the office with Tora still being hugged to death. "Well for squad seven's next mission we have several available tasks... among them babysittin-"

"I'm not going to babysit! The kids you ask us to babysit always end up being snotty brats! They’re so annoying!" I said as I interrupted. There’s no use in him talking about the missions, if in the end we will do the cool mission.

"YEAH! I want a real mission!" Naruto agreed as he formed an 'x' with his arms. "I'm not doing lame things anymore."

"How dare you?" Iruka-sensei said outraged pointing to Naruto. "You're just a brand new Genin with no experience-"

"You get experience by living it,” I stated smiling. "We won't have real experience until we get to actually experience it... right?”

"Yeah! We won't do lame chores anymore!" Naruto said as he smiled.

"You have to start with little missions-"

"Are you serious? Babysitting is not a mission -" Naruto started, however Kakashi kicked him, making him shut up. 

"Naruto it seems you don't..." blah blah. The Hokage started his rant about missions and stuff, which of course we all got bored about.

"Sakura," I muttered and she looked at me surprised. "Was it just me or did I get away with what I said, while Naruto got punished everytime he agreed?"

"I noticed too,” she admitted.

"Cool!" I said as I smiled.

Then Naruto started to talk about Ramen, and it turns out it was really interesting. I mean he is right, it must be a hard decision to choose… What if you chose wrong?

"Silence!" the Hokage said suddenly, making us all turn to him.

"But I want to know about the Miso Ramen!" I whined, and Kakashi and Sasuke sweat dropped. "I mean, yeah missions and Genins and Chunins... Okay no... That’s just bull..."

"Ali-chan!" Iruka shouted wide-eyed.

"Heh… You called me Ali-chan!" I said as I smirked. "What is wrong Iruka-kun?" I mocked.

Iruka face-palmed as he muttered incoherent things.

"Silence!" the Hokage repeated.

"Sorry." Iruka said looking at the floor.

"Bah! You always lecture me like you are my grandfather or something. But I'm not the little brat who used to pull pranks all the time. I'm a ninja now, and I want a ninja mission!" Naruto said determined.

"Naruto..." I muttered as he turned around and pouted like a kid. He just said he’s not a kid, and then he acts like one. "Oh, forget it."

"Naruto wants us to know he is not a brat, he is a former brat, and he wants a mission. So be it," The Hokage said as I laughed at everyone's reactions. "Since you are so determined, I'm going to give you a C-ranked mission... you'll be body guards on a journey."

"Really?" Naruto said all excited. "YES! Who? Who? Are we guarding a princess... or some business counselor?"

I noticed Kakashi raising his eyebrow at me when Naruto said princess, and I just rolled my eyes. He then chuckled lightly, so I glared at him and stuck my tongue out and he smiled his closed eye smile. I saw Iruka looking at us confused. Oh, only the Hokage and Kakashi know… I hope.

"Don't be impatient, I'll bring him in."

Tazuna entered and called us things while I played with my hair bored.

"HAHA!" Naruto shouted making me jump in surprise."Who's the little one with the idiotic look on his face?"

We all lined up and discovered I was the same size as Naruto.

"It's you." I stated.

"How do you know?" Naruto said angry. “We’re the same size! It can be you!”

"I'm sorry Naruto, but he better not mean me because he would suffer a slow painful death... I already have a few ideas..." I said as I pretended to think of ways to kill Tazuna.

I saw as everyone looked at me sacredly. I had a dark aura around me as I gave a devilish grin. Just to scare the old man a little, it can’t hurt.

"What?" I asked confused getting back to my normal self and looking at them innocently.

"You looked so evil..." Sakura muttered as she shuddered.

"I didn't mean you," Tazuna muttered clarifying, and looking a bit freaked out. "I meant the blonde one."

I sweat dropped. I’m blonde too you idiot!

"I'll demolish you!" Naruto shouted as he tried to run at Tazuna, but Kakashi stopped him. Apparently, Naruto can’t realize I was blonde too… But we all knew he meant him anyway.

"You can't demolish the client Naruto, it doesn't work that way," Kakashi said bored.

"I am Tazuna a Master Bridge builder and I must return to my country," Tazuna said. "I'm building a bridge that would change our world and I expect you to get me there safely, even if it means giving up your life."

After instructions I went home and grabbed my bag, filling it with weapons and spare clothes that were already in the closet when I arrived. I then spotted my iPod, so I got my earphones and started to listen to music. I saw my phone... should I turn it on?

I decided to leave it there. I won't need it.

I arrived to the gates were everyone was waiting already. Huh, even Kakashi’s here.

I saw Sakura talking to me so I took my earphones off. 

"What?" I asked sighing.

"You are late!" she said getting an anime vein.

"So?" I asked as I raised an eyebrow.

"Well... you should've arrived before and-" 

"Pinkette, leave me alone because I'm not in the mood," I said as I glared at her. Damned cellphone, reminded me of Harry. I hope he’s fine…

She just looked away annoyed. We started leaving and I put my earphones back on.

Suddenly Kakashi took one of my earphones off. 

"Alison," He said, I ignored him as I continued to listen to music. "Alison," He repeated. "Prin-"

I got wide eyed and jumped on his back and covered his mouth... even though it was already covered. Why does he feel the need to annoy me with that!

"Kakashi-sensei! Stop doing that!" I said as I released his mouth but stayed in his back just in case.

"You were ignoring me," He as he smiled. "I had to, why is it you don't want me to say it Prince-"

I covered his mouth once again. "Stop it!" I whined, acting like a little kid as I pouted. Kakashi looked at me and started laughing. I removed my hand and pouted again. "Now you’ll have to carry me," I stated. Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto looked at me wide eyed, probably because I'm in our sensei’s back. Eh whatever.

"Do I now?" Kakashi said as he raised an eyebrow.

"Yep!" I said, popping the 'p' as I rested my head on his shoulder. 

"What if I just drop you?" He asked.

"If you can get me off of you, I'll walk," I said as I smirked.

He sighted thinking. "Guess I'll carry you then."

"You’re so lazy!" I said as I mockingly patted his hair.

He sweat dropped.

"Alison! You can't make our sensei carry you!" Sakura said in her annoying voice.

"Then why is he carrying me?" I said as I raised an eyebrow.

Sakura glared and turned away. That’s right, I smirked as I rested my head in his shoulder once again.

Kakashi's P.O.V

I continued walking with Akira now in my back. Why doesn't she want anyone to know she's a princess? Maybe no one here recognizes her, but I know people in other villages will. I mean, she does have the surprisingly bright green eyes, and the most obvious thing: the scar. Every story there is about the missing princess clarifies the lighting scar.

I looked up to see her again with that weird box she carries. (A/N: he means the Ipod.) Poor girl though, having no family.

I smiled as I looked at the front, I already have a strong bond with her, and I can see Naruto does too. I feel overly protective over her... Is this how it feels to have a little sister? I really hope it is, because if I had a little sister... I would want it to be her...

ALISON P.O.V

 "Mr. Tazuna," Sakura asked suddenly. I had turned off my Ipod and just stayed there in Kakahi's back. I might as well enjoy it while I can.

"What is it?" Tazuna grunted.

"You're from the land of waves right?"

"Yeah, what of it?" Tazuna asked.

"Kakashi-sensei, there are ninja in that country too aren't they?" Sakura asked.

"No," Kakashi said. "There are no ninja in the land of waves." But in other countries there are hidden villages..." 

I zoned out a bit, I'm so bored!

I spotted the puddle of water, so I jumped from his back and glared at it suspiciously.

Kakashi saw me and signaled me to be quiet, so I nodded. I remember Kakashi would do a clone so I just walked ahead of Tazuna, paying all my attention to sudden movements.

Then it happened. The ninjas took Kakashi and cut him in pieces. I glared as I positioned myself in front of Tazuna while Naruto froze.

Sasuke trapped them to the tree by the chains and I got wide-eyed. Naruto!

I was about to run to him when some ninja stopped me by coming at me. I dodged and continued to run when the ninja went for Sakura instead. I jumped -a little too late since Naruto got cut- and grabbed the stupid ninja and kicked him back, Kakashi easily caught him and the other one.

"Naruto, sorry I didn't help you right away, I didn't mean for you to get hurt, I just didn't think you'd freeze up like that."

"Good job Sasuke, Alison, very smooth, you too Sakura."

"No Naruto," I said as I remembered what he thought. He’s thinking he’s useless. "You weren't useless... well you were this time but it wasn't your fault. I was useless too; I didn't get to you in time. I'm sorry." I said as I looked ashamed to the ground.

"NO! You don't have to ask for forgiveness Ali-chan!" He said getting all wide-eyed. I smiled sheepishly, but I still felt a bit dumb. I knew that would happen; I should’ve left Tazuna to Sasuke.

"Hey, you're not hurt are you?" Sasuke asked Naruto. "Scaredy cat."

"SASUKE!" Naruto yelled.

"Naruto, stand still. These ninja have poison in their claws. I need to take it out of you quickly," Kakashi said sighing.

I went over to Sasuke and slapped him lightly in the back of his head.

"What was that for?" Sasuke said as he got angry.

"Stop it with the name calling," I said as I glared, and he turned away. 

"Alison! Don't slap Sasuke! You'll hurt him!"

"He's not weak pinkette," I muttered rolling my eyes. "It would take a lot more than that to hurt Sasuke."

I saw Sasuke look at me strangely while Sakura looked angry.

"Why do you now call him by his name, yet I'm still pinkette!" She said outraged.

"Well," I said as I mentally slapped myself. I didn’t mean to call him Sasuke! "He has gained my respect; you're still same old pinkette. However duckbutt, wipe that smirk off your face. Respect was all gone when you called Naruto a sacredly cat."

"They're Chunin from the hidden village of the mist," Kakashi said once the ninjas were tied to a tree. "Their specialty is relentless attack. They keep fighting no matter what the sacrifice."

"How did you know about our ambush?" One asked.

"Please," I said as I rolled my eyes. "A puddle in the middle of a sunny day? That was stupid, and thats coming from a genin." 

The others looked shamefully away while Kakashi smiled. I feel smart… Even though if I haden0t know it would be there, I probably wouldn’t have seen it either.

"Why did you leave it to the Genin to do the fighting?" Tazuna asked nervously.

"To know who their target was and what they were after obviously." I said as I smirked. "You're in trouble!" I added in a sing-song voice.

"What are you getting at?" Tazuna asked.

"Geez, stop the act already..." I muttered.

"What she is getting at is that I wanted to know if they were after us, ninja attacking ninja, or if they were after you, the master bridge builder." Kakashi said. "When you put in your request you asked for standard protection from robbers and highway men. You didn't say there were ninja looking for you, hunting you down. If we knew this it would be a B-ranked mission or higher. Our task was to simply get you to your destination and protect you while you finished building your bridge. If we knew we’d be fielding attacks from enemy ninja we would've ranked differently and charged for the cost of a B mission. Apparently you have your reasons, but lying to us is not acceptable. We are now beyond the scope of this mission."

"We are Genin; this is too advanced for our level of training. We should get back. And I really thing we should treat Naruto's wound and let the poison out as soon as possible. Back in the village we can take him to a doctor," Sakura stated.

"Sakura," I said glaring. My glare softened when she looked at me surprised. "I don't think Naruto would want that, even though it is the best for him."

"Hmm... Naruto's hand could become a problem," Kakashi said.

Naruto grunted and I turned away, not wanting to see him stab his wound.

"Why am I so different? Why am I always..." He grunted again.

"Naruto wh-" Sakura started, however I put my arm in front of her as I watched Naruto smiling slightly. 

"I worked so hard to get here, pushing myself until it hurt, training alone for hours; anything to get stronger, to reach my dream. I will never back down again, and let someone else rescue me. I will never run away. And I will not lose to Sasuke. Upon this wound, I make this pledge. Believe it!" Naruto said. "Bridge builder, I'll complete this mission and protect you with this kunai knife. Don't worry I'll be fine."

"Naruto uh that was really cool how you took the poison out and all.... but if you lose any more blood.... you’re going to die." Kakashi stated.

Naruto started to freak out and I smiled.

"What are you smiling about?" Sasuke asked, surprising me.

"Well," I said as I looked back at Naruto. "He become so serious for once, and then this happens," I said as I pointed at Naruto, who was moving like crazy.

"What did you mean?" Sasuke asked, and I could see real curiosity in his eyes.

"Well... Naruto started to explain-" I said slowly as if he was stupid.

"Not about that," He interrupted as he looked away. "That I've gained some respect."

"Well Sasuke," I said as I looked at him. "Saving Naruto and then Sakura was noble. I just wish you would stay that way... not change for power." I muttered

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"You'll know later." I said looking away. "And when that time comes, just know I won't hesitate."

I then walked over to Naruto and Kakashi, leaving a confused Sasuke behind. I didn't lie; Sasuke is on my team right now so I'm going to help him if needed. Once he is evil though, I won't hesitate.
