Chapter 16: Land of Dreams

(Kyla has been back in the village for a year now age 16, She's a Jonin)

Kyla pov:

Neji and I stood in Lady Tsunade's office, listening to the details of our mission. In the land of Yumegakure (夢隠れの里, Yumegakure no Sato, Literally meaning: Village Hidden Among Dreams) is a small village located in a deep forest of a tiny country, near the border of the lad of fire. It is led by Lord Enzo Tenro. Our mission is to go there and attend a ball which will be on every night for five days, all we need to do is act natural as if we we're apart of the party and be secret body guards to Lord Enzo's Daughter, Miwa Tenro (age 17), and his son Ai Tenro (age 16). The mission is A rank, just Neji and I are being sent out as I was asked for by name, and we're jonin but for an A rank it's typically a full squad, but it's most likely because I was asked for by name and a feudal lord can afford to pay the costs of A rank.

The mission doesn't seem hard, but that doesn't mean I'm coming unprepared. I decided I would drag Neji shopping with me.

"Why am I here then?" He asked bored as I browsed through a rack of dresses. "We've been through this, 5 days, 5 dresses, and its for a feudal lord so that means it has to look fancy, seriously Neji, for somebody belonging to the Hyuga clan, you sure know nothing about evenings, even I know that and I left when I was seven"  I explained before turning to him and adding "Also Mr Hyuga-who-doesn't-understand-fancy-parties you will need a few suits and ties in the colours black, red, pink, purple and navy" I then placed a range of colours on the counter to pay for my outfits.

"You do know, I have suits" he muttered with a raised eyebrow at me.

"Okay but are these suits all slightly different so Lord Enzo Tenro doesn't think you're wearing the same one" I asked as I payed the lady and placed the dresses in different scrolls with a number on from 1-5. "I guess not, I do have some in black and others in white though" he explained as I dragged him along to a suit shop. "Well that just means we just need a few more suits for you" I stated smiling at him and he shook his head at me a little before holding the door of the shop open for me. 

"So you say I need them to luck slightly different, yet most of these look the same" Neji stated looking around the shop effortlessly. "Well that's your problem Hyuga, you find a minimum of 3 suits while I find you ties to match my dresses" I stated taping his shoulder and heading towards the shelves full of ties. I picked out ones that I knew would match my dresses before heading back to the violet eyed shinobi who had just about finished picking his outfits out, we then payed and left, we headed our separate ways to pack our things for the mission and agreed to meet in 30 minuets, The land of dreams is far away, it's going to take us a few hours to get there, and with it being winter, we will need to set up camp at some point.

After packing all of my things I leaned up against the village gate, reading my book waiting for Neji to arrive, and when he did he, he took the book out of my hands before reading the title and chucking it in a near by bin. "OI! I was reading that" I complained and he looked at me and shrugged "The title is unfitting as you aren't going to die" I rolled my eyes at him before we left to go on our mission.

After we had walked for a long period of time and the lights began to dull we debated setting up camp, but the village wasn't too far away so we decided to wait until we got there, it will only take us 20 minuets to get there but it is spookishly dark. Neji turned his byakugan on and held my hand to guide me through the terrifying dark, I couldn't help but think he was like the light in the dark. I looked up at his face and smiled at him lightly, and although he was looking forward he smiled a little back. We soon arrived at the village and went to the largest building knowing it would be where the feudal lord lives. Neji knocked the door and I brought out his and my own ID cards before holding them up to the man at the door "Hello, I'm Kyla Uchiha, and this is Neji Hyuga, we're here on a mission to protect Enzo Tenro's son and daughter during the week of the ball" I explained to the footman who opened the door to the Tenro's home. 

"Oh come in" he stated in a monotone voice as he bowed to us, I glanced at Neji who stepped into the home before following him. 

"You must be the lovely Kyla Uchiha, I've heard so much about your powers, defeating an akatsuki member on your first mission how impressive and a developed sharingan, how marvellous" The man I assume to be Enzo rambled as he took my hand in his. "That's me" I stated with a light smile "And this is Neji Hyuga" I continued gesturing to Neji who didn't say anything and just glanced at the man.

"Well as it is getting late I will have Poole show you to your room" He stated before calling the footman, who's name is Poole, to show me and Neji to our not-so-separate rooms. When we said our thanks and goodbyes to Poole, Neji and I entered the room which only had one bed making us look at each other a little flustered before getting over it rather quickly and unpacking our stuff.

I then went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and in the mirror I saw Neji remove his shirt making me instantly squeeze my eyes shut with red dust covering my cheeks and a brushed my teeth with them securely closed, when I was done I slowly opened my eyes to see him in bed with pyjama trousers on and no shirt making my cheeks heat up more, I quickly regained myself before slipping in next to him and going to sleep.  

I woke up around 8 am to find Neji changed, reading through a scroll on the bed. I glanced up at him, staring at his features, his elegant long hair and his pure eyes, I studied every fold in his skin and every eyelash, I couldn't help but think he's beautiful.

"Are you going to keep staring its creepy" he stated not looking up from what ever he was reading and I threw a pillow at him before climbing out of the bed and grabbing some clothes, I went into the bathroom and got changed into casual clothes before deciding to drag Neji around town to go sight seeing, I've never been to this village before.
