1)STAGED COUP:
“ keey-elle?” “Keel?”
Kielle’s face starts to get red as the captain of the mission, whom none of the rookies had ever interacted with, continued to mispronounce his name.
“ dude, why’d your dad spell it like that anyway? His fault”, Caleb whispered to kielle.
“ ITS KY-LE”, screams kielle, face now a shade of magenta. Caleb and Kielle have been friends since before the chuunin exams, since they got along so well when they were both assigned team 8, training underneath Roxanne Sensei.
“ Michelle?”
“ I’m here!” says the small voice of a shy girl, Caleb and Kielle’s other teammate. Another member of the B-rank mission spoke up behind Michelle.
“ you should change your name to keel” Stephan Jr laughs at kielle.
“ SHUT UP! AS IF YOUR NAME IS ORIGINAL!!” kielle shouts, absolutely furious at every member of the team assigned to this mission. But he was right, as Stephan Jr wasn’t really a Jr. He was technically the 8th man in his bloodline to be named Stephan, the epitome of non-creative names.
“Everyone calm down and stop yelling”, the Jonin in charge of this mission, a white-haired famous shinobi named Thomas says in a deep voice. “ And give me your Ipods”, he continues. Everyone’s face goes completely blank. Especially a girl named Jessica, who lives for her Ipod. A sharp inhale comes from somewhere in the group. No one has the gall to speak against Thomas, as he is much higher in rank and very respected throughout the village.
“ uh, sir,” a brave voice comes from the group of young chuunin. It was the voice of Charlie, the son of a well-known family of shinobis. A kind boy who, unlike others in the group, will speak his mind in order to stand up for his friends. “ We need to listen to Killer Bee’s new rap song during battle or our chakra will completely run out”, he continues, “plus his new mixtape has a sick new verse by none other than Gavin$ himself”. The other chuunin in the group nod their heads.
“Plus, I had to travel three days to get to the land of Iron to get my Ipod bedazzled, so I’m not just going to hand it off to anyone” inputs Jessica, sticking out her tongue. Just then, the chuunin’s Ipods are saved for the moment when someone comes barreling toward their group at full speed.
“ RIVAL!” as fast as a bullet, a man in a green jumpsuit comes to talk to Thomas in private.
“ I MUST CONVERSE WITH YOU FOR A MOMENT! PLEASE EXCUSE ME YOUTHFUL TEAM!”, as he takes Thomas by the elbow and they engage in a deep conversation right out of earshot of the rest of the group.
“ Okay, we're staging a coup right”? Says Stephan Jr, chewing on gum because he thinks it makes him look cool. In reality, it just annoys Charlie.
“ I say yes!” shouts Blake, excited by the idea of rebellion. Ever since he was little, he was the product of the government, someone else’s kid, someone who has been bossed around for a long time. He was excited to do this.
“ stop yelling, they will hear us” says charlie, now plotting how to get away with it. “ They can’t take our Ipods. Not on the day that Killer Bee released his new album. But what do we do?” Charlie contemplates.
Hmm… what to do?
2) KUNAI:
A loud, pop-rap song plays over a shitty speaker. “ hey”, Brad comes up behind May and gently flicks her hair. “ This line is ridiculous. I need new weapons now, not tomorrow” May complains angrily. “ Hey, hey doll, we're all trying to get new weapons here. If you want, I can teach you some patience” Brad says with a smirk. “Stop being gross” comes from a voice in front of them. “ oh hey Gerard, didn’t see you there” Brad skips May in line in order to pat his friend on the back. May looks around the room impatiently. “ Hey Gerard, isn’t that the girl you were talking to at Cody and Ryan’s party?” she asks, raising a suspicious eyebrow. “Uhhh yeah, idk. She’s kind of insane, but super funny” gerard says sheepishly. “Hey Brad, didn’t you go home with May last night anyway? Let's talk about that”, he tries to derail them off of the subject of the gorgeous woman behind the counter handing out weapons. He looks up to see if he can catch another glimpse of her beauty, but to his surprise she had moved from her post and out of sight. All of a sudden, in a lightning fast moment, a kunai whips past Gerard's face and stabs the wall directly next to his cheekbone. “Hold on” says the sultry voice of said gorgeous woman, “ Let's keep talking about me for a minute”. The voice of an angel, the hair of a shampoo ad, and she had May, Brad and Gerard’s full attention, all from the throw of her kunai.
SCROLL:
Thomas looks down at the scroll on his desk and takes a long, deep sigh. “ I hate being hokage. Why did she ask me to do this?” He of course was talking about Lady Ashley. Just until blake learns how to read, she said to him a little while ago. Blake was Thomas’s illegitimate son who had wormed his way into thomas’s heart, and then never left, slowly killing him from the inside, typical heart-worm fashion. Thomas kept looking down at his scroll, attempting to read it but falling short. “ I wonder what Oliver is doing tonight”, he said aloud, distracting himself from his work once again.
RANK:
“ Rank doesn’t matter”, Ryan Johnathan Hagane said from the couch. His husband, Cody, was in the kitchenette of their small apartment, not 10 feet from where Ryan was on the couch, making tea for them. “ Any of those genins could kick our ass anyway, look at who is teaching them” Ryan said lazily. “ IF IT DOESN’T MATTER THAN WHY BOTHER SPENDING MY LIFE TRYING TO GET BETTER AS A NINJA!” Cody was pouring hot water all over the place, making a mess of their already disastrous household. “ babe, really, none of that matters. I captured a ninja ostrich the other day and my pride is still intact”. Cody glared at his lazy husband, unamused. “ I caught the damn thing after you, Blake, Kielle, and Lee almost got killed!” Needless to say, Cody was in a bad mood, worried about his rank and his future as a shinobi.
