## Mission Log

Andikins:{AJ} Ari Junrei was making his way through the streets of Hoshigakure, on his way to pick up his pschopathic roomate who was keen on stabbing him usually. Why was he going to meet such a person? Well he had gotten used to her attempts at putting holes in him that he could anticipate them by now, aaaaand they had a job to take care of together. So the young lad wasn't able to find Eden anywhere, but at least he still had stabs mckenzie! Arriving at the home of the Kurisutaru and sent for Kaiiaki to be fetched so that they could get to the farm and tend to the chores for the elder man living there. "Wonder if we can get some barbecued corn while we're there." He pondered aloud to himself. {AJ}

Kaiiaki: -"Dahlia? Oh Dahlia? Dahliaaaaa!" Kaiiaki called from her room, her voice carrying out into the hallway of their makeshift townhouse. The impish voice was back. It was nothing like it was a few days ago, a monstrous beast of a host held captive by hate. Thanks to the solo training, Kaiiaki had been able to clear her mind a bit. And of course, put the demon fox at ease temporarily. She was secretly hoping that the beast wouldn't take over and she could just have a normal mission day today. Hopefully it would go smoothly, and she wouldn't have to worry about controlling or bargaining with him. But unfortunately she was already agitated. Their teammate Eden wasn't even bothering to show up for any type of training or mission the team was having. It wasn't like Kaiiaki wanted to be with their team anyways. But she needed them, for the moment. Just long enough so that she could be strong enough to go out on her own. Her teammates and sensei were nothing more than stepping stones to her. She had gotten lost in her thoughts again, she realized as she remembered that Ari would be coming any minute. "Dahlia! Come on now!" Kaiiaki let loose a string of frustration words as she tugged on the last of her outfit, her star headband. With that, she ran out of her room and down the stairs to the kitchen. Dahlia was nowhere in sight. But there was a plateful of cooked fish and rice upon the table nearby. A note lay next to the plate addressed to Kaiiaki. It said: "Kaiiaki-san. I am busy preparing for the proctoring of the Chunin Exams. Will be back tonight. Love you. -Dahlia." Kaiiaki rolled her eyes at the note, seeing as her sister was busy. But at least she had left her something to eat. She crossed the few small steps to the small table that they shared, and munched down upon the fish and rice. By the time she had finished, she heard Ari outside talking to himself. ~He's about as wierd as they come~ She thought to herself. Nevertheless, she gathered up her plates and put them in the sink for later. She wasn't going to waste time when it came to missions. The Hoshikage had ordered that they do this mission. Kaiiaki of course had protested, she didn't want to do such a lame mission right before the Chunin exams. But she needed the Ryo, so she couldn't complain much. With a sigh, Kaiiaki flew to the door. She strapped on her kunoichi boots quickly, and went outside to meet Mr. Friendly. She internally gagged as that name came to mind. But it was oh too true for Ari.-

Heiwa:~Wolf would calmly release a hesitant sigh upon the damp atmosphere that emitted a faded cloud of fog upon the exhale of his sigh that cracked aloud a soft sounding moan. The solid white hair that spiked around the circumference became damped upon the constant moist weather that encompass this certain village of Hoshigakure. A pale yet determined expression was glue upon his face as he seemed unfamiliar with everything he’s been met with that ranged from (stores, the people, shinobi, and its ninja code for that manner. A Senju of all things was rare to see in this village yet here he was soaked to the brim with his light weight solid blue armor passed down by his loving grandpa (Nidaime). This armored allowed the bouncing off of the rain particles leaving a glimmer of rays to reflect off the perfectly designed product. He’d digress though for he was assigned a mission as a means of payback from the village he’s originally from. “What a gloomy day. On top of that, I have to assigned to a team I never even heard of. They can be worse than the jackass team members I have back at home though….. right? Proclaimed Wolf while his built form aided him to easily walk around the village without exerting in needed effort than he’s already acquired. The streets of Hoshigakure was vibrant with its neon color designs depicting its slogan or special sales taking place as a means to make profit in what we call “Life” Wolf shook his head in inner laughter before arching his head to the rightly slightly revealing the act of a solid oak door being swung open with measly forward pull. This act revealed a young lady around his age run down the stairs and onto the cracked streets to which his pale white eyes made contact with hers.

Andikins: {AJ} Ari waited patiently for Kaiiaki, and when she had finally arrived, his attention was on the possiblities of roast zucchini or squash along with some grilled corn and satay chicken skewers. Really, he needed to get his mind off the damn food before continuing on with the work in a place that home-grew the food that they enjoyed. "Hey Kaiiaki, I got us a job helping Old Man Ikku up at his farm. So there shouldn't be any need for stabbing or cutting things today okay?" He just wanted to double check and poke at the fact that her usual greeting was an attempt on his life. At least all of her violence toward him had honed his reactions to attacks that he could anticipate them. He then pointed at her with both hands before making a wide circle with both and pointing over his shoulder with his thumbs, "Soooo let's go milk us a cow and stuff! Yea!" He was actually excted that there was absolutely no risk of violence today, right? Right? Well he would start off toward the farm with her and arrive within the next twenty minutes, figuring that they should get a view of the place before divvying up the tasks. {AJ}

Kaiiaki:-As soon as she was out of her home, she soon met face to face with Ari. He was already jabbering on and on about the mission that was at hand. "Pft..you call this a mission? We're just doing someone's daily chores dumbass." She rolled her eyes, jogging on ahead of him instead of walking by his side. She wouldn't have to put up with his annoying cheerfulness this way, and also she would get to the farm quicker. As she was jogging out from her home. She noticed that some boy about her age was staring at her. She felt his eyes look over her, taking in every detail. She turned to him, making eye contact with an annoyed expression on her face. "Fuck off weirdass. Go stare at someone else." She didn't know if he heard her from where he was standing, but she didn't care. If he didn't get the message the first time, she'd make sure he'd regret that earlier. Turning her back on him, she went back to jogging towards the farm. Milking a cow and gathering eggs wasn't exactly something she was looking forward to. It was more of a humiliating act than anything. But Ari seemed so keen on playing farmboy that perhaps he would do most of the work. And she would get paid nonetheless. This made Kaiiaki smile and pick up her new found speed as she ran towards the farm located on the southwest side of town. Even though Hoshigakure was a small town, this seemed to be more of a remote area. Kai guessed it was because of the soil the farmer in question needed. Kaiiaki didn't bother to look behind her to see if Ari was there or catching up, they would both meet at the farm eventually. She wasn't worried about him in the least. If he couldn't make it there, then why bother calling himself a ninja? She chuckled in the back of her throat at that. Time passed by as Kaiiaki jogged throughout the village. She passed the usual people milling about in the streets, buying their goods to bring home to their families. The strong scent of fresh grass was in the air. Which meant Spring was on its way. And Kaiiaki was glad for the change of temperature. Within 15 minutes, Kaiiaki had arrived at the old, run-down farm. An elderly man stood at the entrance gate, combing through his long white beard. His eyes had a squint to them, as if he had been squinting up at the sky most of his life. He was short, and his back slightly humped. From his appearance, Kaiiaki understood why a man like this would need help. Feeling a sense of obligation to talk and explain her presence, Kaiiaki spoke up to the man. "Hello sir. My name is Kaiiaki Kurisutaru and I am from Team 2 of Hoshigakure. I have been sent to assist you today along with my teammate Ari Junrei, who should be arriving any moment.''-

Andikins:{AJ} Finally catching up with Kaiiaki after she had run off, Ari just had a blank look on his face, "Kaii, you can't go running off like that in the middle of a mission. What if there were enemies around us? I'd get in trouble if something happened to you." Acting like he was her care taker, and he kind of was being older than her, Ari bowed tot he elderly gentleman, "Hello sir. We're here to take care of things for you today." {AJ}

Kaiiaki: -After a few awkward moments of waiting, Ari finally arrived behind her. She looked over at him as he spoke, then replied in a harshly whispered tone. She didn't want to make herself look bad in front of the man that was supposed to pay her. "Does it look like I care what happens to you? We are teammates not friends." Kaiiaki then turned towards the old man, issuing a fake smile towards him. "What duties do you have planned for us today sir?" The old man wasn't buying Kai's fake smile. He frowned at her, still stroking his white beard. But after a few seconds, he answered. "Welp I suppose...there's the mikin Old Bessie...then uh..." He trailed off for a moment as his old brain sputtered to explain things to them. He had been doing them for years himself, but now that he wasn't running on automatic, things were difficult. "There's some eggs that need to be gotten...horses need some hay...cows need theirs as well...pigs need their slop...I think I'll have a pig that's needs a slaughterin' ." The old man's squinting eyes fixed on Kai's as he mentioned that last chore. Kaiiaki grinned in response. "No worries sir. Nothing phases me. But a little blood might make that one pass out." Kaiiaki smirked and pointed her thumb at Ari when she said that.-

Andikins:{AJ} Ari just had a deadpan look on his face when Kaii answered for him, "I guess today is a stabbing day afterall." He made his way off toward the barn, "I'll take care of the hay." When he went to the barn, he found piles of hay in one corner and a pitch fork along with some hay bails. He looked around from side to side, figuring to just grab the pitchfork and twist up some hay like noodles around a regular fork, to no avail. It's much shorter than regular noodles Ari, way to go there. He just scooped it up like a spoon instead and started carrying it to the animals in there that needed it. "I wonder if the farmer will straighten Kaii out." He thought aloud to himself. {AJ}

Kaiiaki: -It sounded like Ari was going to take care of some of the more back-breaking work. Which was a bonus for Kai. She would much rather slaughter a pig than feed some stinky ass animals. And killing was something she was good at. She bounced along cheerfully as the farmer led Kai over towards the pig pen. It was nothing too impressive. It appeared to be just an old fenced in area. It was no more than 10 feet in diameter, and the red paint was peeling pitifully. Kaiiaki looked around at the lard packed unto the pudgy animals. They were disgusting to her. Those fat creatures wallowing in their own filth made Kaiiaki want to vomit. Farmer Ikku made his way into the pig pen, opening up a makeshift gate and closing it quickly behind him. He pointed at the fattest one with an old shaking hand. "This'n here." Kaiiaki nodded, and pounced into the pen without even bothering with the gate. The pig looked like it weighed a good 180 pounds. The weight was going to be a problem for Kaiiaki, because she didn't have the largest amount of muscle. But she'd still rather be doing this than what Ari was doing. Kaiiaki spread her legs apart, generating a shoulder length's width between them. She braced herself, then leaned down with her back straight instead of bent over. She reached out her long arms to the pig. He wasn't moving much, since his weight prevented him from moving as quickly as the other three. Kaiiaki grasped her left under under the pig's neck. With her left hand, she grabbed underneath its bottom. With a single lift, she jerked upwards, jostling the pig a bit in the process. She then pounced back out of the pen, although it wasn't as smooth as the movement before. The weight was a little bit of a struggle, she grunted under the weight of him. Sweat began to gather upon her scaley skin. "Where do you want this" Kaiiaki struggled to say to the farmer, as he seemed to be taking his sweet time exiting the pig pen. "Take em' to the barn entrance over there." The old man spoke. As soon as he said the words, Kaiiaki pounced to the spot about 15 feet away. She couldn't wait until the farmer was over there to set the pig down. And if she set it down, it would only try and flee. It was already squabbling about in her arms, trying to get free. With the added weight of the little shit, it was extremely hard to keep hold of him. "Enough...of...this..!" Kaiiaki struggled to get the words out. Kaiiaki began to mix her chakra within the molecules of the air. With her chakra, she formed a small crystal tree thorn about 3 feet in front of where she was standing. She formed it up to the height of 12 inches. The width was about 4 inches thick worth of crystal. As soon as the crystal was formed, Kaiiaki dropped the pig's head upon the sharpness of the crystal branch. The pig let loose a squeal before he was brought to his end upon the crystal branch. Kaiiaki's hands flew to her knees, and let loose a few deep breaths. That pig had been just about spine crushing size for her. But as she caught up on her breath, she looked down at the pig in satisfaction. It was bleeding out from its head, no more in life. The blood from this animal would hopefully satisfy the fox's bloodlust need. For now, at least. Ikku at this point had finally made it over to the open barn. He shook his head at the pig's bloody body laying beneath Kaiiaki. " I ain't never seen a girl yer age like killing that much." He shook his head back and forth at her before continuing. "Cut him up into fourths and lay em over there in that tin tub." Kaiiaki shrugged it off, and then pulled a kunai out of her pouch. She sliced the pig into fourths with her grey eyes glowing. Once she had done that, she easily picked up each piece and put it inside of the tub. Without another glance at the bloody animal or farmer, she trotted off towards Ari to see what he was doing.-

Andikins:{AJ} Ari was moving things around and getting hay to the animals that needed it. He was even going as far to bail the hail into clumbs on his own with some twine that he found.  He had been spending all this time making sure that the hay was easier to move around instead of loose! When Kaii finally showed up, he was tying the last of the bails he made by hand up and tightening the twine around it. "Alright you guys. I got your food all set up for you so you don't eat too much and get fat." He walked over and pet one of the cows on the snout and one of the horses behind the ears. "Oh Kaiiaki, 'sup? I'm gonna go do the next thing okay?"  He walked right past her and made his way toward the chicken coop.  The animals around Ari seemed to be extra calm and even stride up to him when he came near. {AJ}

Kaiiaki:-Kaiiaki looked around at all the bales of hay that Ari had made. Some of the hay lay loose around the animals. It looked just about enough for them to have for a meal or two. Kaiiaki nodded at what he had done. "Nice job. A little hard work might put some hair on your chest.  Because we both know you will not get it any other way." Kaiiaki cackled out loud to herself. Ignoring him as he went off to collect some eggs. "Yeah leave me with this heiffer, I think not."  With a huff, Kaiiaki dragged herself on over to the female cow tied up in the barn. It looked like the farmer had at least gotten her into position and that helped she guessed. She noticed a tin bucket sitting nearby, and picked it up. She held it within her hands, mulling over in her mind how she could possibly get the milk. She could threaten its life...but...if it was an evil little cow like she had heard about, that wouldn't work. She thought harder on what she could do. "Hmm... If it were me...I'd only give somebody what they wanted through bribery." Kaiiaki then shrugged before putting the bucket back down upon the ground. She pounced all over the farm, searching for Ikku. It took her a good 7 minutes before she finally found him in his house, watching tv and sipping on some unknown liquid. "Thirsty there little miss?" The farmer asked her. Kaiiaki gagged a little in the back of her throat before she could respond. "Uh no...I was wondering if you had any apples or sugar cubes." The farmer scratched at his beard. "Sugar cubes eh? Hm...Well aren't you the smartie." The old coot laughed, or what sounded like a laugh. But to Kai it sounded more like a combination of singing and choking. "Uh yeah ok." Kaiiaki ignored his disgusting laughter and flew to his makeshift kitchen. In a small container she found near the sink was labeled: "sugar cubes" in scraggly handwriting. Kaiiaki opened it up and took a few out. She then walked out the door without another word to the strange Ikku. -

Andikins:{AJ} Tending to the chickens and picking up the eggs that had been laid, Ari started sorting them into cartons with hay in them to give the eggs a soft place to sit.  He just hummed to himself like this was natural to be jamming your hand up underneath a chicken and grabbing the eggs that had been lain.  They didn't seem to mind too much themselves about the matter however, likely because it was such a routine thing for them? Well regardless, when Ari was done, he hauled out the cartons and set them down on a wheeled cart to move around easier. He walked up to the farmer and gave a nod, "What's next Old Man Ikku?" {AJ}

Kaiiaki:-Within a few minutes, Kaiiaki had returned to the cow in the barn. She didn't seem particularly happy about seeing her. And Kaiiaki could say the feeling was mutual. However, she needed the milk. And Kaiiaki was a master manipulator when she really wanted something. And what she really wanted was to get this humiliating act to be over. "Why hello my dear..." Kaiiaki cooed the best she could in her impish voice. She slowly took a few cautious steps towards the cow. "How about some milk in return for some sugar cubes?~" Kaiiaki opened her right palm to show the gleaming sugar cubes within. The cow eyed them hungrily and stopped chewing her cud temporarily. "Ah ah ah!" Kaiiaki shook the pointer finger on her left hand. "These are for good cows who give good milk. So if you give me some, these are all yours." Kaiiaki let those words sink in. (Assuming the cow could understand her basic gestures). Kaiiaki put the cubes inside of her ninja pouch. Milking a cow was a piece of cake for Kaiiaki. Of course she already knew how. When she had been on the road with Dahlia, they had to steal quite a few meals from whatever source necessary. Kaiiaki picked up the metal tin bucket, sat down upon the bench and milked a good gallon's worth of milk out of that cow. She picked up the tin afterwards and made sure to keep it held tightly within her hands. She then looked at the cow, outstretching her hand to the animal and giving her the reward of sugar cubes. Ordinarily she would have ate the sugar cubes right in front of the cow's face and then walked away laughing. But, she decided not to this time. Maybe she could come back here and get some free milk for herself next time. After finishing with the cow, Kaiiaki pounced off towards the house. She set the bucket down beside the stairs leading into the house and joined up again with Ikku and Ari. The old man looked at them both for a second, seemingly impressed by how quickly they had taken care of things. He began to comb through his beard, staring at them quite a while. Kaiiaki finally cleared her throat after a long and awkward silence. And this seemed to snap the old man out of his self-induced trance. "Wellp good job there kiddies. Here is your pay." The old man handed them about 200 in ryo for each of them. It wasn't much, but Kaiiaki would take it. "If yer wanna come back tomorrow, its a gettin that spring time so it's a plantin' time!" Kaiiaki rolled her eyes. "I am sorry sir but me and my teammate here have the Chunin Exams tomorrow. And it will last quite a few days. Maybe next time." Of course Kaiiaki was lying through her teeth about the next time part.  But at least it would satisfy him. Ikku grumbled under his breath. "Aint nobody gonna slaughter a pig, feed the animals, or milk Bessie like these two did." But he waved them off, dismissing them to go home for a job well done.-
