[START]

Sasori was pacing back and forth in his room. He had awoken early in the morning. Sasori had the dream again but this time it was a bit different. In his dream he was talking to his great, great grandfather. His grandfather was once more trying to convince him to enjoy killing people and to do it more often. Sasori said to his great, great grandfather he only killed that woman because she was attacking him. That is when his great, great grandfather smacked him and told him to grow up. Sasori awaoke at that part. He had rubbed his cheek because the smack felt so real. That was twenty minuets ago. He now stood in just a pair of pajama pants. "The odd thing about my dream was I don't believe it was Garra who I saw I think it was me."

Sasori shuddered at those words he did not want to become like how his great, great grandfather had been. Sasori walked into his bathroom he kneed to shower and calm down. fifteen minuets later he was now wrapped in a towel on his waist eating breakfast. As his sipped his orange juice there was a knock on his door. Sasori held on to the towel as he opened his door once more there was a note with mission details on it.

Sasori quickly read the details of the mission. 'Sweet another Crank mission. Damn we gotta get birds, aw well what you gonna do cant get kick ass missions all the time." Sasori placed the paper down on the table and ran to his room were he got dressed. Once dressed his chugged his orange juice, grabbed his gourd, and put on his shoes. He locked his door since he knew he would not be back for four days. He quickly ran off to the Hokage building.

Sasori was in a hurry he was excited about this being his second C rank mission. He did not even notice the old lady until he bumped into her. 'Get outta my way got a mission to do you old hag." What Sasori did not know was this old lady kept bricks in her purse and she smacked him on the head with it. A few moments later he was walking into the Hokage building rubbing his head.

When he showed the secretary his paper she said 'You need to meet up with you team at the front gates. You guys have to leave as soon as every one is gathered there. Sasori quickly turned around and headed for the main gates. Instead of walking down the street Sasori decided to take to the roofs. He quickly jumped from roof to roof until he was a couple buildings in front of the main gates. Sasori jumped down and walked over the the main gates.

He crossed his arms and looked around. He was very curious on who would be joining him on the mission. "Man I hate having to wait it is the only part of being a Shinobi that I hate." He thought as he waited. As he stood there he began to think of different ways that would help in the mission.

Eiji was outside training as he always does. The rain didn't really bother him that much. Eiji was use to training in any kind of weather. The only type of weather conditions that gave Eiji problems was Tornado weather, snow, and thunderstorms. Other than that he was fine. Since he was starting to become stronger Eiji built himself a training dummy to practice his swings and cuts on. It wasn't the best training dummy in the world but it would suffice for the time being. As the rain continued to fall Eiji looked up at the sky wondering what the day would bring. The rain pelted his face. Not in a painful way but gentle enough to feel peaceful.

As he was basking in the water of the rain Eiji heard his mother calling him. It was time for breakfast. Without realizing it Eiji had spent the past three and a half hours training. So he went inside and made his way up to the bathroom. There were two bathrooms in the house. Both of them were currently occupied. Eiji rolled his eyes and started knocking on the door to the main bathroom in the hallway. "Come on I have to take a shower before I eat breakfast. Who's in there?" At first no one said anything. Eiji could hear the water running so he knew that someone was in there. "I hear the water running. Aura is that you? Or is it Dairou?" Eiji's youngest sister spoke. "Dairou is in the other bathroom I told him I'd stay in the bathroom longer than him." Eiji put his arm on the wall and put his head on his arm. He spoke with a demanding tone. "Then why are you running the water Aura? Dad has to pay for that you know." Aura responded "Because I want mom and dad to think I'm taking a bath. I know Dairou is just sitting doing nothing."

Eiji got a hold of himself before he became too upset. "Aura if you don't get out this bathroom in the next three I swear I will cut the door down and drag you out myself. One.....Two....Thr-" The door opened and Aura came out. She looked sad. Eiji felt bad so kneeled down and talked to her. "Look I tell you what if Dairou wants to sit in there let him. That means you get to eat his breakfast." Eiji winked and Aura smiled as she ran down the stairs. Then Eiji went into the bathroom and started singing in the shower again. His voice was improving but it still wasn't good enough to sing: "I'm a scary gargoyle on a tower/that you made with plastic power/your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away/when the paralytic dreams that we all seem to keep/drive on engines till they weep/with future pixels in factories far away/so call the mainland from the beach/your heart is now washed up in bleach/the waves are rising for this time of year/and nobody knows what to do with the heat/under sunshine pylons we'll meet while rain is falling like rhinestones from the sky."

Fifteen minutes later Eiji got out the shower. He tied a towel around his waist as he looked for something to wear. His training clothes were dirty and reeked of his oder. Going through his closet he found a short sleeve shirt that was black with white writing on the front. The writing read "If you want some, come get some." Eiji dried off and put the shirt on with his boxers and his pants. Then he put on his boots. After that Eiji made his way downstairs to eat breakfast. Before he went he yelled. "Dairou your going to miss breakfast. It smells like mom made her famous pancakes with scramble eggs." With that said Eiji went downstairs and sat at the table. Dairou came down stairs not too long after Eiji. Eiji said prayers and they all ate.

As they were all eating Eiji's father Senji gave him a note. It seems like he had another mission. Saying that he was excited was a clear understatement. Eiji finished up breakfast and made his way to the Hokage building. "Alright another mission. I'm getting these things back to back. Enough of these and I can move up to Chunnin. Then it's just a matter of time before I am the savior of this world." Eiji smiled as he made his way to the building he once broke into. Eiji showed his letter to the lady at the front and she pointed him in the direction of the front gate. Wasting no time Eiji ran through the streets of Konoha. He tried his best not to bump into anyone. If he did he was sure to help them up and apologize for his rudeness. Soon he found himself at the front gates of Konoha. He wondered who he would going on a mission with this time.

He was shocked to see Sasori at the front gates as well. "Sasori my man! So your going on the mission too? Awesome. So what have you been up to? Training? Getting ready for our rematch?" Eiji hadn't seen Sasori since they went around pulling pranks on people. Going on a mission with someone he knew made things that much better for him.

A shadow crept along the rooftops of Konoha in silence. With her usual attire on and the clouded rainy skies covering up the sun, Izumi was able to move undetected by those who were not sensor types. The recent fight she had with Hana rolled through her mind as did the battle against the Missing ninja whom killed Mitsuhide. It was hard to believe the battle all happened and how Shihouin accepted the man afterwards. Not allowing her emotions to get in the way of her sight, she pressed forward at a quicker rate towards the gates. The rain drops streaked her bare skin while creating small puddles in her hair, which was tied up in the usual fashion as well. These would occasionally streak down across her fast.

Upon landing on a roof near the gates, her form loomed over in the darkness. Her piercing light gray eyes barely shown through the silver rain drops as she stared down on the Genin. It appeared there were only two. Knowing she was late, Izumi scanned the area for the third but after not seeing him she dropped down to the roads below.

When her form landed in a crouch before the two Genin, a small puddle on her head casted out a droplet of water which fell down the bridge of her nose. When she stood it dropped off and she peered at the two ninja.

"You two must be going to Bird" she said, her voice confident as ever. A hand was placed on her hip as she looked at them with a semi serious nature. "Izumi Takeshi," she said to introduce herself, "the Konoha Jounin who will be attending this mission with you two. I have met Sasori before and have an understanding of his abilities but I have not met you...Eiji correct?"

She read the files on the Genin quite frequently, this was how she recognized him. She remembered faces more than names so she might not have gotten the name right but she figured the Genin would clear this up with her.

"To cut the time down some lets cover something about each of us. Sorry I am rushing but I hope you two understand. For Sasori, thiswill be a refresher but as said I am Izumi. My elements incorporate lightning and earth with my specialities being Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. I am more of a close to mid range fighter who tends enjoys stealth based tatics. In other words, the only thing useful I may provide to this sort of mission would be utilizing earth based techs with stealth. What is it that you two can provide when it comes to capturing these birds?"

She truly was rushing things a bit but the sooner this was all covered the sooner they could move out. With or without their fourth team mate.

Sasori looked up and to his surprise he saw his friend and rival Eiji. "Hay Eiji what up man. It has been a while how you been?" He waited for his reply then said "I have been trying to get some missions done so that I can get ready to rank up. Speaking of our rematch I am going to have some new tricks up my sleeve so you better be ready. Because it wont be raining in our rematch so my sand will be more faster and more deadlier."

Just then yet another familiar face showed up. "Hay Izumi so once more your the Jounin accompanying us on the mission that's cool. Any way I wanted to say thank you for showing up when you did on our last mission for if you did not I might not be standing here. After he said that he was ready to say what he could bring on the mission. "As you both know I am a sand user. Not sure exactly how that will help but I could trap the birds with my sand so they may not fly away."

Sasori stood there after he said what he had to say. He was getting anxious about getting on the way. He paused for a few minuets to give both Eiji and Izumi time to say what they had to say. After that he spoke once more "So you guys ready to get going. I know I am."

OOC: sorry about the late reply. Busy day Monday

IC: Eiji listened to Sasori go on about what he'd been up to. Then he said that he would be ready for their rematch. First Eiji answered the question about what he had been up to. "I have been training and going on a couple missions. Keeping myslef busy. Oh don't you worry I will have a few new techniques up my sleeve as well. I won't need the rain next time." Eiji smiled. It was a good thing that he was going on a mission with his friend. He didn't really know if anyone else would show up but he would be ready if anyone did. Eiji pulled out his swords and showed them to Sasori. "See these two? They will be the difference makers in our rematch. Trust me on that." Eiji twirled them around for a moment then he put them back.

Then someone else showed up. This person had the Jounin vest so Eiji stood at attention and kept quiet until he was spoken to. She introduced herself and the name rang a bell. It took a moment but Eiji realized where he heard the name before. While him and Sasori was out causing trouble he mentioned her. Eiji eyes grew big as he thought to himself. "Holy shi-I mean wow! This is the lady that Sasori was talking about? I would love to have her for a sensei. Ok remain calm. If I want to impress her I have to do the best I can on this mission. Then that will show her that i'm awesome." Eiji was shocked to hear that she knew his name. He looked down at the ground and started to fiddle with his thumbs. "Y-you you know my name.......Ms. Izumi?" Eiji tried to smile to hide his nervousness but it was much too late for that. Once again his awkwardness around women got the better of him.

Eiji listened to Izumi explain what she specialize in and how they would help on the mission. For the most part Eiji listened but he was caught up in her beauty. Then Sasori spoke about him being a sand user. After that it was Eiji's turn and in his usual fashion he spoke in the most unnecessay way possible. He stood at attention and spoke loud: "I am Eiji Hitomi, Kinjutsu user. I have no gnejutsu what so ever and I know very little ninjutsu. How that helps on this mission ma'am well I am good at close range combat and will not hesisate to kill an enemy if the situation calls for it. I can and WILL defend the team at any cost." Eiji took out both of his swords and twirled them. "These are my two favorite swords Caution and Danger. They are the only friends that I need. They are a part of me ma'am." Eiji stood there quiet for a moment to let all of what he said sink in. It didn't take long for him to realize that once again he spoke out in a very uncalled for manner.

After the awkwardness went away Eiji walked a little further ahead. "Ok so I am ready to go. What about you Goddess of perfection....I mean....Ms.....Izumi."
