She put on her mask and took in a deep breath...
Nioka pov:
It's been long since I wore this mask. For some reason it smells like the plastic I worn it the first day I became anbu.
Anbu...
Protecting the village.
Those were our duties. Those were my duties. Once.
I take it off. Not today. Today I'm just a normal ninja chasing down a pearl.
I take out my kunai and swings it across a few times. That's right. I'm a ninja. This kunai... This feels right. I'm going to track the man who burned down my store.
The door knocked and I went to the door " oh . Kakashi. "
Kakashi : you're ready.
Nioka : it's still early.
Kakashi: I just came to check on you. You're sure you want to come ?
I nods " I want to look him in the face and make him regret. "
Kakashi: just know. I'm here with you.
Nioka : um...
______________________________
Nioka : I have a little request.
Minato : what is it ?
Nioka : I would like to go meet that man as a businessman to another business man.
Minato I see. I guess that's fine.
Nioka : I don't need kakashi with me. I would be fine. I'm sure you have other things for him.
Kakashi: I'm fine going with you.
Minato ; I don't want to you to get in trouble either.
Nioka : ok then...
______________________________
The two started traveling...
Kakashi: why did you tell sensei you didn't want me to come ?
Nioka : nothing. I just thought the village would need you more. Mine are just petty issues.
He stopped in his steps " you issues are not petty issues. " She looked back " um... "
______________________________
They reached the mansion...
Nioka : hi. I would like to meet Yamato-san.
" Oh. Miss miyanagi. Come in. "
They were led into the inner house and sat down with tea and snacks.
Yamato came in and sat on the opposite side " what made you make the long journey ? "
Nioka : two days journey is long considering I have a grudge you against you.
Yamato: oh ? What did I do ?
Nioka : you know. Return the pearl. Or I'll steal it. It's that simple.
Yamato : even if I have this ? Come in !!
The door slides open on the other side and a boy scared was being held hostage by another ninja who had a knife to him.
Kakashi: he is...
Nioka : lira's younger brother.
Yamato : I'll offer you two options. Drink this poison and die. I'll return the boy and the pearl.
He takes out a cup pours the wine and drips a few drops from the vial he takes out from his pocket.
Yamato ; or... Watch the boy die and then maybe your friend either succeeds stealing the pearl or dies trying.
Nioka sighs " 6-7 outside? " Kakashi nods " seem so. "
Nioka : the poison does look tempting.
Kakashi; nioka . You're not thinking...
Nioka : remember Mount Sinai ?
Kakashi: .... Nioka...
Nioka : you hate me that much ?
Yamato: you took my business. Sold information that trashed my business. Hmph. This is karma.
Nioka : that's revenge. You failed your language ?
She takes up the cup " remember to make sure he keeps his promise." And she drinks the cup.
Yamato: hahaha...
And she collapses. The boy was returned but not the pearl. But for now , kakashi had nioka to think of. He carried her over his shoulder and left first.
