[center][b]『Kami Suugo』[/b][/center] --- Kami suddenly appeared in front of the two girls, with a somewhat excited look on his face. He grabbed both of the girls their arms, and dragged them along. As he passed the counter he grabbed a wad of coupons for the restaurant and threw them over the counter. He probably just wasted about 6 or 7 coupons but he didn't seem to mind. Being dragged outside and all the way to the village gate, it would take some time before what he was doing. Kami stopped dead in his tracks once he did realize though, and stood there for a full second. [i]“Kami.. you can't.. drag pretty girls along by their arms.. forcefully...”[/i] he thought, slowly turning around to face the two girls and slowly releasing their arms in the progress. He dropped to his knees and bowed deeply before them. [b]“E-excuse my rough b-be-behavior!”[/b] he said to them, with an extremely sincere and apologetical voice. He would bow before them until they'd recognise his apology and accept it. After that he'd got up, his expression saying that he was quite shook that he just grabbed them like that. [b]“S-sorry! But we have an u-urgent mission! W-we have to g-go now.”[/b] He'd not even told them their mission yet when he headed out the village gate. The road ahead was a long one, because they had to go to the great Sebaru Cliff, a cliff that had been created by Sebaru Markor during one of his training sessions. It was.. quite gigantic. And it was also a fair distance from Iwagakure, because where ever the Tsuchikage trained he left behind giant craters, mountains and cliffs, so he naturally had to distance himself a bit lest he destroy the entire village with an earthquake. During the walk there which would take about an hour in total, after letting the two genin collect their neccesary tools, he would explain what the mission was all about. [b]“Kyou, A-Ayumi, p-please pay attention. T-this is your f-first mission... and we need to s-succeed. L-long ago t-two of my masterpiece p-puppet concepts got s-stolen by Kirigakure s-shi-shinobi.”[/b] It was rather obvious that he was nervous, but not because of the mission but because he was leading two genin, who were only a year younger than him. [i]And they were girls.[/i] Kami was freaked out in a social sense. [b]“F-finally the int-intelligence corps has r-recovered their locations b-but has failed to ex-extract them.”[/b] By now they had arrived at the cliff, which was a giant ravine. Peering over the edge, the team would see the 2 puppets laying at the bottom untouched, in a serene environment. On either side of the ravine were forests, which gave excellent cover for anyone trying to hide themselves from the team. [b]“H-hai! Since y-you are just gen-genin, we won't d-do anything more e-exciting than this. You need to l-learn what a mission is and h-h-how it works. P-please, grab the pup-”[/b] Kami was loudly interrupted by someone on the other side, laughing throughout the entire talk Kami gave them. [i][b]“HA-HA-HA-HAAAAA! LOOK, IT'S KAMI THE STUTTERER.”[/b][/i] he yelled loudly as he pointed to the other side. The weirdest part was that he was talking to someone that wasn't even there. The man was wearing a mask over his face, covering his nose and mouth. Another prominent feature was the fact that he wore a Kirigakure headband and had a lot of other villages' headband tied to one of his belt-loops. Perhaps they were trophies. [i][b]“AND WHAT'S THAT? TWO GENIN? IS IWAGAKURE TOO POOR TO MAKE TEAMS OF FOUR, SO THEY PUT TWO GENIN IN A TEAM?”[/b][/i] he said while he laughed even harder. Meanwhile three Kirigakure genin drooped out of the bushes, angry at their sensei for blowing their cover by talking so loud. [i][b]“Goura-sensei.. why did you blow our cover like that.. you baaaka.”[/b][/i] one said. He wore shorts and a fishnet shirt, totally not matching the standard attire for Shinobi. The other two Kirigakure Shinobi were Kunoichi, and seemed to be twins. One had a single ponytail on the left side of her head, the other had a ponytail on the right side of her head. They seemed rather shy and didn't say anything at all, but focussed their attention on Kami and his team. Goura-sensei focussed his attention on the genin that had called him a baka. [i][b]“Oi, you brat.. why do you have to disrespect me, Goura of Kirigakure. I killed more shinobi than you have, so respect me!”[/b][/i] The 'brat' simply scoffed and raised his shoulders, focussing on Kami and his team instead. [i][b]“Yo, Kami of the Suugo clan. We know all about you and your stupid mission, but we are here to stop you and take your stupid baka-puppets. So just go away now.”[/b][/i] Again, Goura sensei seemed to be angry at the brat. [i][b]“Goga, you're supposed to let me do the talking! ME! GOURA OF KIRIGAKURE. I WILL EXTERMINATE THIS KAMI SUUGO! MEEEEEEEE!”[/b][/i] Goga, the genin, simply slapped his head while the two Kunoichi giggled. [i][b]“Goga-san, you are so strong and powerful! Please kill this Kami Suugo for us!”[/b][/i] they said in unison. His jonin seemed to be mentally challenged, and Kami couldn't help but feel a bit bad for Goga. But on the other hand, the headbands on his belt loop were testimony to the fact that this man was a good fighter. Kami looked back towards his team to test their mettle. He was unwilling to let the puppets be taken by Kirigakure, but if he felt that the two Kunoichi in his team weren't up for the fight, he'd tell them to go back to Iwagakure quickly. He was sure he'd be able to handle this Kirigakure team on his own using his Sebaru Markor puppet. But on the other hand, Kyou and Ayumi seemed to be able kunoichi, and Kami was quite sure Kyou would bad-mouth the Kirigakure team anyway. [b]“A-Ayumi, K-Kyou, p-please.. if you w-wish to h-help me in this fight, y-you are free to. O-otherwise.. go b-back to Iwagakure.”[/b] But the enemy team wasn't having none of that. [i][b]“What a shitty sensei, Goga-san. You must be HAPPY to have me for a sensei, GOURA-SENSEI. The most powerful shinobi in Kirigakure! Are you impressed with me yet?”[/b][/i] Once again Goga-san slapped his head and the two Kunoichi giggled as they waited for Kyou and Ayumi to decide what the plan would be. But Kami was sure they'd understand the importance of these two puppets, if not for the village then for Kami personally. These puppets were his masterworks after all, and Kyou and Ayumi were sure to understand that. Goga-san, Goura-sensei and the two Kunoichi twins didn't seem [b]too[/b] strong but team Kami was definetely outnumbered, and Kami was a supportive fighter, fighting from the backrows. It was likely that he would be fighting the Jonin mostly, so that left the three genin for Kyou and Ayumi.
