The Wedding Day

Laying in her bed, Kasumi stared at her bedrooms ceiling, waiting for the sun’s first ray of light to beam threw her windows. It was young and running, with the sunrise happening just above the Hokage stone faces. The sky was beautiful with various colours including; light pinks, oranges and reds. It was Kasumi’s favourite thing to look at… other than the sunset, she called it the ‘painter’s sky’… Soon the sun was fully risen and the light was shining through her windows illuminating her bedroom. The 17 Jounin sat up and stretched softly, letting out a cute yawn before getting out of bed, skipping to her bathroom. Starting her daily routine she showered, brushed her teeth, combed her long snow white hair and got dressed in her usual Shinobi attire. She wore a black tank top and tight stretchable black pants with black high heal ninja boots to match. Representing her village she wore her leaf shinobi head band around her neck, and her jounin vest to represent her rank. Around her waist she held to pouches on her lower back and two water scrolls attached to each side of her hips. In one of the pouches she held 9 kunais and 3 chakra replenishment pills, and in the other pouch; she held 14 shurikans, 2 paper bombs and 1 smoke bomb. Lastly since she was a Hozuki she always liked to have water on her so she had 2 water bottles strapped to her left thigh. Once she was ready she walked out of her treehouse mansion and walked on to her daily duties, seeing as today she had a team mission. She sent out a letter a day before to her students to meet her at the training ground to get further info on their mission. Walking down the high class area of Konoha the people stopped and stared at Kasumi because of her beauty. She seemed to innocent and kind at heart, but her looks screamed heart breaker. Her eyes were big the color of amethysts and her hair was long and straight the color of snow. Her skin pale… but so perfect, it was flawless like a porcelain doll… but her body was like an hour glass. Soon she passed through the village and made it to the training grounds. Waiting for her students arrival.

“Big brother, big brother!” -Came the cries of the sweet Aiko while she firmly pounced onto Hayate’s bed in an attempt to wake up her brother. She jumped up and down furiously before falling back down, toppling ontop of him. Hayate woke with a smile as he instantly wrapped his arms around his sister while leaning up from his bed. He’d flip her upside down a few times before letting her dangle there with her upsidedown face looking at him. Her lower lips jutting out in her best attempt at a pouty face while she cutely crossed her small arms across her chest.Aiko was wearing a nice pink dress which went well with her hair which was the same shade of brown her brother’s was. She also shared Hayate’s blue eyes. Her cheeks were puffy and plump, a signature trait for a seven year old. Aiko may not have noticed it but Hayate was very strong for a boy his age. Aiko’s face lit up quickly.- “Ha! I finally got you to wake up; I didn’t want you to miss your big day! Hehe” –Aiko laughed all child like. He looked at her with a coy smile as he dropped her down letting her lay between his legs with her back pressed against his chest.- “Yeah uhuh that’s exactly why you woke me up.” –Hayate declared in a very sarcastic tone with the return of his coy smile. Aiko’s mouth opened in a gasp as she playfully pushed at her brother.- “Come on let’s just go please??” She begged and begged him while getting up from her spot and pressing her palms against his cheeks, smushing his face together. Hayate chuckled as he nodded several times.- “Alright alright. Let me get dressed and I’ll meet you downstairs.” –He said with a much gentler smile this time. Aiko giggled and nodded back to her big brother as she quickly jumped off the bed and skipped out of his room, leaving him alone. Hayate got up from his bed and lazily sauntered over to his closet whilst rubbing one of his eyes to get him awake. Being the bright person he was during the day, he was actually not known for being a morning person. He’d open his closet and retrieve his outfit from a hanger. He’d put on his shirt and pants while he looked at himself in the mirror. Looking to his right he’d see his blue headband hanging from a holder on the wall. Grabbing it with one hand and placing it in two he’d look down at his headband distinctly at the Hidden Leaf symbol that was embedded into the center of it. His eyebrows narrowed as he looked at the symbol before turning it around and slowly raising it up to his forehead wrapping the strands behind his head and giving the strands a big tug to keep the headband tightened and in place. He gave himself a firm nod in the mirror before grabbing his sandals and heading out of his room and to the kitchen. Hayate paced himself going down the stairs. He didn’t seem like the type of person to rush himself especially with those tired blue eyes of his. When he got down into the kitchen his eyes brightened up a bit when he saw Aiko standing near the door looking at him while holding her two hands together twisting herself back and forth slightly. He smiled gently. The kitchen was well kept and had a strange ammaculate vibe like it hadn’t really been used much. There was a tea brewer on the stove that seemed to have some use to it but besides that it looked as if no one really lived there with a very vacant feel to it. However, there wasn’t a mess in sight. Hayate was dressed in a black under shirt layered with a brown strapped that wrapped around his upper body. He wore blue shinobi pants that matched well with his blue sandals and blue gloves that had just a small layer of metal protection attached to the front of his hands. He also had attached to his arms, two metal protectors that encompassed around a quarter of his arms length. For a Genin he was probably over dressed but today was a significant day. For the exquisite appearance Hayate had, he also appeared to be very brawny for a boy his age. His shoulder and arms were a tad bigger than his classmates and his chest seemed to have more mass in it.- “Don’t forget it!” –Yelled Aiko from across the room. Hayate, a bit dumbfounded eventually found his wits and dashed to the counter and retrieved a small package. Hayate walked across the kitchen with his sandals making a slight click clacking noise against the hardwood floor as he wrapped an arm around the back of Aiko’s neck and pulled her in close to him as he opened the front door with his other hand.- “Alright you let’s go!” –Hayate grinned with a slight snicker as Aiko willingly followed. Usually by now Aiko would have tried to fight off her brother’s love in a feeble attempt at a mock freedom. But on this day it seemed like a different sort of day since Aiko rather than teasingly turn away, embraced her brother’s love and rested her head against his side. They didn’t walk too far and when they stopped they both glanced over to their left seemingly at the same time. Their faces were vacant as they continued to walk through the gates that led them into an open field that had small cement marking laid across it. They soon came to a halt and the two pairs of blue eyes peered downwards at one of the slabs of cement on the ground. On the slab it was marked- “Kumi Namikaze: Beloved daughter and sister.”-Hayate pulled her sister in close to him again as he spoke in a very graceful tone of voice.- “Happy birthday sis.” –Hayate placed the package down onto the grass and knelt down beside it. Aiko quickly followed as she sat beside him, legs bent underneath her. The wind was absent from the scene and it seemed as if all sound had be drowned out. When Hayate reached into the package, Aiko’s face lit up; as did Hayate’s. When he pulled his arm out from the package he carried a doll that seemed to have a little wear and tare to it but nothing too large. Slowly, he’d pass the doll to Aiko who took it with glee and stroked the dolls hair backwards, as if she had played with it her whole life. She continued to smile as her eyes began to water a bit. She looked down at the stone in the ground.- “Big brother found this for you yesterday…” –She said while looking over to Hayate who was seen touching a noticeable scar on his cheek, as if it had some connection. She then turned back to the stone.- “I thought it was gone forever.” –She said silently as she placed it down next to the stone like she was placing down a piece of fragile jewlery.- “I never understood what you guys liked so much about that doll anyways.” –Hayate bolstered in his sarcastic tone as he looked over to Aiko with a hardly noticeable smirk on his face to which she gasped and gave him a firm punch on the arm. They both laughed.- “Alright LET’S EAT!” –Hayate growled digging back into the package furiously to retrieve two pre-packed ramen meals with chopsticks to which they both licked their lips to. A few hours later Hayate had just dropped off Aiko at the Academy and quickly dashed towards the training grounds, his mind now set on a completely different task. He’d jump up onto the first rooftop, followed by a second and a third to which he was now on one of the highest buildings in the leaf. He was sprinting vigorously with both hands spread flat behind his back, almost as if they were unable to move and merely being carried by the speed he had created. Hayate was known through his class as an extremely agile person. Jumping over to a few other buildings it seemed as if he hit his first tree branch within a few seconds. Dancing between each tree, his feet landing and pushing off from the trunk of each as his own speed seemed to create a sort of ‘woosh’ sound as he soared through the air like a knife cutting butter. Coming closer now, Hayate knew exactly where he was. His second home was at the training grounds and he was just about to break into the opening. When he did, he soared through the air and landed on a tree as he saw his sensei was standing just about a few feet behind of it. Swiftly dropping down and grabbing the branch with his right hand, he’d drop again and land flat on his two feet with nearly no sound. He was truly a nimble shinobi for his age. He plopped right behind his sensei as his hand smacked right onto the small of her back, a greeting Hayate semed to be known for. His head swerved just a tad around her so his face was clearly noticeable in her sight. - “Looks like you beat me here this time Sensei!” –Hayate admitted while giving off a coy smile.- /E

~Shin is asleep, lost in a dream world that consists of nothing childlike. Shins dreams consist of training more than anything. Shin considers the dream world to be a training simulator; you can train in your dreams without having the physical effects. Though it seems illogical to train in your dreams it actually has good effects. In the dream world, one could try battle tactics that if they one would try in the real world without worrying about it not working and you getting injured or killed. But there is a fault to dreaming. While dreaming, one if vulnerable to anything. Shin is dreaming, and something is sneaking up on him, getting closer, and closer, making weird squeaking noises. And then….it brushes against his face, its whiskers fumbling around against Shin’s soft face. Shin opens his eyes. His eyes slowly gain focus as they came eye to eye with the biggest rat Shin has ever seen. Shin freaks out slightly and jumps up, slapping the rat into a wall. ~ “I need to stop sleeping in these alley-ways. “ ~If you’re wondering why Shin is sleeping in an alley-way….well….it’s complicated. It’s a sleeping preference for Shin; he prefers to sleep outside rather than in a house. He believes it will keep him humble, make sure he will never become an entitled spoiled brat that most kids become. Unlike most people, Shin remembers where he comes from. Food was scarce, shelter was even scarcer. Fighting for food was a frequent event and everyone sleeps in alley-ways. Shin rubs the eye boogers out of his eyes, and then he proceeds to put his glasses on. ~ “I’m probably late….” ~Shin says aloud to himself. He stands up, brushing the dirt off of his outfit. ~ “I guess I better get going.” ~ Shin begins to walk out of the alley at an extremely slow rate for someone who thinks he’s late. He passes by the tea and ramen shops, the smells making him hungry for breakfast. But now wasn’t the time for a meal, he’ll have to grab a meal later. Shin remembers that his team was meeting at the training grounds, so at least he knows where he is going. Shin stretches out his arm, raising his arms to the blue sky. Shin left them in the air for a while; he loves the feel of wind going through his fingers. ((Because I don’t feel like typing Shins whole trip I’m just going to skip there.)) Within a short time, Shin arrives at the training grounds, Shin is a fast walker. He quickly spotted the others, raising his hand to signal that he was there.~ “Well….I’m here.” ~He stands next to the others, waiting.~

~it was early in the morning the day was young the sun was just beining to climb over the sky. it was about seven o'clock the roosters in the village known as Konoha were still cacooing which was normaly a sign for the people of the village to wake up an start on their journey for today. hoever just in the center of the village about four street's away from the ninja academy was a residence that was sound proof with the Acception of the wooden door. sound was able to escape through this door because of the material it was made from however the walls were sound proof them being comepletely sound proof. it was usually dark in this residence simply because this house only had one window. this house was residence to Hinaku Hozuki a young Hozuki clan member that lived alone with no parents or familly because of his dread past. inside of this residence Hinaku slept. every night he dreamed about the sluaghtering of his father an his mother an his direct inside familly. he was the onlly one to survive this brutal slaughtering. this dream hunted him every single night he went to bed so he normally was in a angry mood when he woke up. there was an alarm clock by Hinakus bed which was in the roosters place simply because of his house being sound proof he had to rely on his own alarm clock in order to wake up in this way. it was about 7:15 when his alarm clock began to ring loudly almost jumping off the dresser by his bed because of the vibrations of the ringing. Hinaku set up swiftly sweat pouring out of his body as he was also breatheing heavyly simply because the nightmare he was haveing about his familly in which he did every night. Hinaku then hammered the top of his alarm clock with his right palm as it stoped ringing he then slowly got out of bed an dragged himself lazyly to the bathroom when he did he had taken a twenty minuet shower it was now 7:35. when he had gotten out of the shower he had a frown on his face still thinking about his family. he then walked to the sink in his bath room an grabed his tooth brush as he did this he then began to brush his teeth this took him about two minuets it was now 7:37 am. Hinaku then grabed a towel an wraped it around himself just after combing his hair. when he had done this he then walked to his closet where his clothes were an sliped into his sleveless shinobi shirt which fitted tightly to his body.on his bottom half he had put on a pair of black shinobi pants. on his feet hae sliped his feet into his shinobi sandles. he then walked to his dresser by his bed. this was where he kept all his weapons at. as he did this he then brung out his two shinobi pouches an cliped them onto the back of his shinobi pants these two shinobii pouches held his shinobi tools which he used most for combat. Hinaku then reached down into his lower drawer bringing out his favorite weapon which was his short black katana which he typically used for swift attacks an strikes. he then attached his katana to the back of his shinobi pouch. as he did this he then walked to the mirror once more to see if he was missing anything. he then walked out the door as he noticed the village was live as ever. he then closed an locked his door behind him. now as he was walking through the village on his way to the training feild he saw people smileing an waveing but all he gave them in return was a skight frown an kept it moveing. Hinaku then advanced to the training feild. when he got there he noticed his two teamates. when he saw them he gave them a blank expression as he then placed his hands into his pockets an leaned against a near by tree scanning the area looking to see if his sensei was in the area.~

Not even flinching at Hayate’s greeting, Kasumi turned and faced her student. “Good morning Hayate” she spoke in her natural cheerful voice before taking out a scroll. Reading the entails of the scroll, she waited for her other students to arrive. Soon Shin Arrived then Hinaku shortly after, now that they were all gathered Kasumi looked down at them and smiled. “Today is the first mission you guys will be doing as a team, mark this as a memory and as a test because I’ll be watching you guys… If I notice one bit of unnecessary behavior or lack of team work… let’s just say, you won’t like the training I give you right after the mission” She spoke in a serious tone having her eyes trail her students. Reopening the scroll she showed her students, it looked to be a map of a grand ball room of some sort. Marking up the map she marked two x’s in the front entrance, and two more x’s inside the ballroom standing on each end of the ballroom. “Today we will be guarding a wedding of local nobles. Since they are so high in society there could be possibilities of bandits or rebels trying to invade, so our job is to make sure if this does happen we will serve them a nice ass whooping” She giggled a little before setting her eyes on the map once more. “Listen carefully boys, me and Hayate will guard the entrance of the ballroom, Hinaku and shin you will be guarding the inside from opposite sides of the room. You guys will monitor it and make sure nothing seems out of place, also make sure none of the guests are acting in strange or threatening manors. Do not forget to be respectful to everyone, manors are needed” Kasumi explained as she pointed to the x’s showing them their positions. Putting the scroll away Kasumi smiled at the students “Follow me, I know Hayate can keep up… but can you other boys do the same” she said simply before pushing off the balls of her feet sprinting out of the training grounds. Passing through the village with her amazing foot work and incredible speed, she passed and dodged the people like they weren’t even there, she seemed to cut through the wind with ease. Upon arriving at the Ballroom the entrance of the place was extravagant, very fancy old fashioned Japanese architecture building. If you were to walk into the ballroom it would be even more amazing then the outside architecture, with beautiful interior designs set up with wedding decor. Stopping in front of the place, Kasumi turned and looked at her students “get to your positions and remember what I told you, if anything happens I trust you to keep the people in that wedding safe until I can get there and help” she said softly before walking off to her position.

-Hayate looked on as he saw his two team mates enter moments after him. Unlike most squads of Konoha, their squad was made up entirely of boys aside from their Jonin leader of course. Hayate differed from his two squadmates. He appeared to be very lively with a charming smile to him while the two others seemed to be very solem and quiet for most of the time. Since Hayate was standing so close to his Sensei he titled his head and looked on with her when she opened up a scroll that revealed a map to which he recognized as the ballroom in the village. He was a bit dissapointed that the mission wasn’t going to lead them outside the walls. He nodded a few times when he received his orders. Hayate had already begun acting a very different way once the mission had begun. The usual cheery Hayate seemed to be absent as his eyebrows narrowed and his face became much more stern, a sure fire sign of seriousness about him. Kasumi wrapped the scroll back up and officially started the mission by shooting off into the woods. A slight smirk splashed all over his face in an instance as he was very quick to follow. Surprisingly Hayate appeared to be much faster than Kasumi being able to catch up with her within just a moment and at first even getting ahead of her by a few steps. Astounded, Hayate’s body seemed to fidget a bit as he it seemed like he was falling back and allowing himself to be at the same speed as the group. He probably thought that it would be best to stay together at this point. His arms were spread flat behind him, waving freely in the air. Upon arriving to the ballroom Hayate seemed quick to analyze the situation. His crystal blue eyes looked as if they were scanning the entire, getting to know his surroundings in a very efficient and sublte manner. ‘There are so many people here.’ –Hayate thought to himself as he analyzed the situation.- ‘If someone wanted to intrude on the wedding they wouldn ‘t have a hard time from the looks of it. The lack of guards besides our squad seems troubling.’ –Hayate’s words echoed in his own head as he critiqued the situation. Seeing the squad all together, Hayate smiled just a bit. He seemed happy to have the squad all together. The smile quickly faded when the squad scattered and he assumed his role aside Kasumi to guard the entrance while Hinaku and Shin grouped together to ‘attend’ the wedding. The waiting game begins.- /E

~Shin’s face quickly went to a more angered expression. ~ “I don’t see why I have to work with these people. I may also add that I welcome any harder training that you could give me. Run me till the wheels fall off because unlike these two, I’m here to be the best no if, ands, or buts.” ~Shin says, with a great fire in his eyes. Shin’s fist were clinched tight, an obvious sign that he was passionate. ~ “With all due respect Sensei, why are we doing this mission anyway? This is no way will make us better shinobi.” ~Shin says, his once angered face turn to more of a curious one.~ “If this is to teach obedience then leave me out because I’m already obedient, I know how to follow orders. I’m ahead of these guys; all they will do is slow me down.” ~Shin continues, as he looks at the other two.~

~Hinaku watched looking on closely seeing as his sensei walked up on him an his two other teamates however Hinaku's face expression did not change he was in a bad mood from his night mare still so there was no reason to smile evan if he was happy to see his squad members an his sensei. Hinkau then stood up strait off the tree an then began to walk with his hands in his pockets in the direction of where his sensei an his two other squad members stood. while walking over to them he had a blank facial expression on his face looking on with disintrest he then saw as his sensei pulled a scroll from her pouch. he knew right away that this had to be the mission log. when he had looked on seeing this he then looked at the mission log with his sensei an his two fellow squad members. Hinaku then pinpointed his direction in which he should gaurd on the map he noticed that it was going to be him an the new guy gaurding on the same place at the same time he did not care all he wanted to do was get this pethetic mission over with. Hinaku then saw as his sensei had put away the mission log an said the words she wander if they could keep up with her. hinaku's facial expression still had not changed from the moment he sawhis two fellow squad members. he then noticed as the three people that were on his team had dashed into the distance on their way to the bal room of this wedding site. Hinaku then swiftly took onne step an began to travel directly behind them he stayed in the back to look out for any enemy ninja attacks of any sort simply because he belived that you could never be to cautious. While Hinaku was following in the back just in about a few minuets they had approached the destination in which their mission was to be carried out. Hinaku began walking slowly through the ball room entering through the front doors. still his facial expression did not change at all he just looked on with a blank expression. evan when people smiled at him he was still looking on with an expressionless face not worried about any of their feelings or what they thought of them. Hinaku then looked on as he watched his sensei an his squad member known as Hayate go to the front entrance to keep watch. Hinaku an shin was to go inside of the ball room to keep watch an fend off any thugs or enemy attacks. Hinaku now was standing still in the ball room looking on at the security that was there with his face still being the same way. Hinaku then thought to himself ''Hmm what a weak line of security pitiful truely pityful...'' Hinaku then stood there beside his teamate keeping guard up watching with a sharp eye.~

Smiling at Hayate from their positions “Hayate every few minutes we will switch walking around the perimeter of the building, would you like to go first?” she asked him politely. Before looking to see a lovely looking bride arrive in front of the ballroom, She was beautiful with her dirty blonde hair put up into a fancy bun and her golden eyes beaming in the sunlight. She wore a long white silk kimono with various floral patterns, and in her hands she held a wonderful flower bouquet. Walking past Kasumi and Hayate she walked into the ballroom making everyone cheer in joy, for the newly bride. Kasumi smiled and looked at the ground before whispering to herself “I hope you all the love and joy in the world that I shall never have” she compelled herself before going back to her  guard position wondering how her negative student was holding up in there. –In the ballroom npc as the bride- the crowd clapped and welcomed the newly bride into the ballroom, having the eyes in the room lock on her simple beautiful and fairness. Mai was so happy and full of excitement as she walked to her handsome husband and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips, she seemed to be completely compelled on him she would hardly notice the drunk that was behind her. The man was holding a bottle of shake and looked like he was going to pass out falling right onto the lovely bride, which would probably lead to his sake spilling all over her… therefore ruin the wedding. Mai turned her back before noticing the drunk man and freezing in her spot not knowing what to do, hoping that the guards would come in time.

-Hayate turned to Kasumi while she was talking to him. He listened intently and made sure to remember the details of the new assignment. He’d nod just before he turned the other way and gaze in admiration of the wife to be. She looked stunning to him and there was something very peaceful and magical about attending a wedding, it made Hayate smile. This seemed to even further his drive to make the mission a success. He turned back to Kasumi after hearing the words she gave to the wife. His face seemed a bit down when he reapproached her. Placing a hand firmly on her shoulder he’d give her that cheery grin of his.- “Sensei, you’ll find the happyness you seek. I know it.” –With that Hayate dissapeared from sight in what seemed like a second or two. After already analyzing the scenery around him he had already picked up on his scouting route. Turning around the corner from the entrance he had begun to walk his route. He maintained a devoted amount of vigilance in his step and in his stare. It seemed as if he was on high alert, being able to sense virtually anything just by the way he looked. It was like nothing else had even crossed his mind besides the fate of this mission.

“I can’t believe I’m stuck on inside duty, surrounded by all of these people bathing in their money. Just look at them, disgusting….” ~Shin shakes his head, not really being a big fan of the aristocratic people. Shin has never been to a wedding, nor did he really want to, but he really didn’t have a choice in the matter. He looks around, noticing all the fancy decorations and food, in which he can’t deny, looks tantalizing. Being a boy from poor background, all of this seems so new. He’s afraid to talk to anyone, in fear of his background coming up and him being made fun of. Shin has never had a good experience with rich people. His sister was a beggar, and when she asked rich people for money, she was often struck, so that image is seared into his head. Shin knows not all rich people are like that, but he doesn’t want to allow one into his life in order to remind him why he shouldn’t trust them. They all got rich somehow, and it’s probably illegal, and involved screwing someone over. Shin noticed a man, who seemed to have a bit too much to drink as he seemed very wobbly. He was standing behind the bride, and if he feels, she would be soaked in alcohol. Shin thinks hard as he goes over his moral compass a few times. As much as he liked to see a noble soaked in alcohol, it was his job to make sure nothing happens to her. Shin reacted without really thinking, setting his feet in motion towards the man. He picked up speed quickly and as soon as he got close enough to the man, he jumped up, placing both of his feet in the middle of his chest, knocking the sake right out of his hand and sending him flying back until he eventually crashed through a table. Shin landed on his back, and then the sake fell all over his face. ~ “I didn’t think that one all the way through…..”

Looking at the ground she felt a hand on her shoulder, looking from the corner of her eye instantly, seeing that it was a Hayate. She listened to his usual kind words, then watched him go to look around the building. Shaking her head she bit, Kasumi bit her bottom lip and looked at the sky “Oh Hayate… If only it were that simple” she said quietly before stiffening herself up and looking out for any threats. (RPING AS THE DRUNK>) Standing there Saio couldn’t stand up any longer his knees wobbled and his head was heavy. He was leaning forward about to fall on bride to be dropping all the sake on the fair newlyweds. When out of nowhere Saio turned his head for a moment to notice a red haired boy running towards him. Saio’s eyes widened before BOOM! He was kicked in his chest sending him flying into a table.(RPING AS SHIN) Looking at what he did he smirked slightly before turning his back to an audience. Everything went silent for a moment before everyone broke out into laughter, Shin stood there thinking they were all crazy, but really it was to be expected since most of them were hopped up in sake. Shin rolled his eyes and walked back to his position “Stupid people…” he whispered to himself. (RPING AS Kasumi) staring at the sky this wedding seemed to be all in order with no attacks, however kasumi wondered what her students were doing…  and if they were behaving. “Thank God this is almost over…” she chuckled waiting to see if Hayate was arriving back from patrol duties.

-Hayate walked the perimeter he was told to walk. After getting a feel for his surroundings his intensity seemed to drop substantially. At first it seemed like it was an A-rank to him and expected much more out of all of this. He seemed a little dissapointed as he continued to walk. Hayate wasn’t one to take a mission lightly and always looked forward to things like this. However he’d remain vigilant as he maintained his collected composure and made sure that all areas were clear. The day was beautiful and it seemed like the perfect time to get married. The sun was at the highest point in the sky and there was hardly a breeze at all, it was almost like everything had stood still. Hayate would stand still reaching just about the end of his route; he pushed his hands into his pockets as he looked over the vast landscape of the entire Village Hidden in the Leaves. It was an awe inspring sight to behold by any viewer and as he came to think of it, it was the first time he really got to see the entire village like this. - “This really puts things in persective for you huh…” –Hayate muttered as he observed the village closer. Hayate was just about done with the route and might have been close enough for his Sensei to hear what he was saying. His eyes drooped a little as his usual cheeryness faded from them both as he looked down quickly. He’d think about his family and his little sister Aiko, the one he wanted to protect the most.- “Aiko…you’re the reason I got where I’m at today…” –His voiced trailed off he again looked forward, his eyes taking in the entire village once more.- “But now…I want to protect everyone here too…” –A slight smile creeped across his face slowly as he turned the other way and came back into the main gate. Walking up the steps, Hayate reached Kasumi who didn’t seem to have even moved a muscle since he was gone. It didn’t surprise him, it was a d-rank mission after all.- “The route’s cleared, Sensei. There doesn’t seem to be anything at all to worry about.” –Hayate confirmed as he walked up next to Kasumi, assuming his original position with her at the gate.- /E

Keeping her eyes peeled she sensed a person’s presence, turned the other corner of her eye she saw it was Hayate looking at the view of all Konoha. Kasumi smirked and listened to his words from afar “One day you will do great things Hayate, just you wait” she thought to herself before seeing the sun slowly set. Turning fully to Hayate once he got to his position she spoke softly “this mission is going to end soon, the guests are beginning to leave” she pointed towards a couple of people exiting the ballroom. Walking up to her student knowing that obviously there was no threat here or coming, “Hayate you did a good job today, I’m very proud even though it wasn’t the hardest of jobs. I will tell you this… Dream big and strive for them. Remember I told you my dream was to be stronger then my brother one day?, that I had changed that so that all my students could do that instead for me? Well that Dream of mine still stands, and I believe you guys can do that. But I need to you to be Genin leader for team 1, so that you can push your teammates to success. I know you can do it, I’m counting on you” she smiled down at the boy and ruffled his hair a bit before walking back to her post and seeing all the people slowly leave, Including the bride and groom. Yawning a bit, the sun had gone to sleep and the moon was in full bloom, Her other students finally came out and told her about their experience, Shin saved the bride before getting engulfed in sake and Hinaku sat there for the whole time in pure boredom. Something she would expect but either way it was their first mission as a team and it made Kasumi feel warm inside, that she had accomplished something she had always wanted to do. Wanting to celebrate the other teammates seemed quiet tired from all the boredom so Kasumi decided to call it for the night. “Alright your all dismissed” she smiled and embraced them all quickly in a tight hug, knowing that shin a Hinaku would be most displeased with her actions. Laughing softly she poofed out of thin air and left before they she could hear their complains.

-Hayate watched as Kasumi confirmed the beginning of the end of the wedding. A few people began to trickle out of the doors to the right of them while they stood and watched. Hayate had no idea where Shin was and before he could even make up a hypothesis on his wereabouts his view was obstructed by Kasumi coming over to him. She had a very warming smile and a comforting demeanor to her that matched up with Hayate very well. Although they seemed very different at their first meeting, at this point they proved to be very similar. Hayate listened as she recalled her initial dream and her newfound dream of making the squad become greater than her brother, the Second Hokage. However he seemed surprised when she gave him the title of Genin leader as his eyebrows raised at the word. They quickly turned into a smile and he gave his Sensei a very reaffirming nod.- “Those two will be a challenge but I will do my best to make your dream come true.” –Hayate’s smile grew as his head titled to the side just a slightly in a very boyish quark of his.- ‘After all, something did come out of this mission huh?’ –Hayate asked himself as he saw his two squadmates arrive after the flow of crowds dissapted. They seemed their usual selves, a rough demeanor and quietness that seemed the polar opposite to Hayate. He wondered how he’d be able to lead them with that in mind. Again his thoughts were quickly disrupted by Kasumi’s bear hug that brought them all together. For the disfunction squad they were, they were still Team 1 of the Leaf Village and it seemed like a very nice moment. The mission was a success and it was time to turn in for the night.- /E
