The Cats Out of the Box (Mission)

Ikki walked out of the KazeKage Tower and saw a few ANBU clustered around a young girl who seemed to be sobbing horribly. The ANBU were tyring to comfort her as Ikki heard and saw when he walked over, but with their scary demeanor and animal masks coverign their faces,they were doing a very bad job. Ikki walked through the ANBU and towards the girl, she held a bright pink leash in her hands, which were up against her face prevent the tears from dirtying her pink dress.

Ikki put a hand on her shoulder and spoke softly. "What is the name of your kitten?" He asked. He stopped sobbing and looked up "Huh? Her name is Miss Pretty and I want her back!" Then she continued to sob.

Ikki turned towards the ANBU and they all stuck their hands out, pointer fingers out pointing up into the sky. Ikki followed their gaze, or lack thereof and squinted his eyes to see a bright pink dot on the roof of the KazeKage building. Well that is if you could call it that, the whole building was a sphere shape, so the cat was more or less near the top of it. Ikki would have to climb up and bring the cat down. Without killing himself or the cat.

The boy sighed and reached back, he unbuttoned the flap of his hip pouch and pulled out two Kunai. He walked to where the wall of the Kage tower met the ground. Ikki bent his knees and gave one great leap, rocketing him into the air. When he reached the height of his jumped he thrust the two Kunai into the rock of the building. He slid downward a few feet, but stopped after a moment or two.

Ikki looked up and started to climb. He sort of zigzagged up the wall, climb to each window to stand on the ledge and give his arms a break. He reached the area in on the wall where he could now walk, near the top of the sphere that was the Kage tower. Ikki saw that the bright pink shape was now closer. "Leave it to a girl like that to dress up her cat to match herself." Ikki said to no one in particular.

The boy reached the cat, and saw that it was sitting and dozing. Ikki saw that it had a pink ribbon around its head, a pink collar with a bell, and a bright pink sweater. Ikki reached out and slowly picked up the cat, all the time reassuring it in a cooing vioce that he was here to help. Ikki turned and started on a brisk pace back down the sphere.

Almost a half of an hour after he had first jumped into the air, Ikki hit the ground. The cat was sleeping in the crook of his right arm. Ikki had used only his dominant left hand to climb down the thousand feet to the ground, a process that left his arm feeling like jello.

Ikki walked over to the girl, still sobbing and still trying to be comforted by the ANBU. Suddenly the cat meowed and the little girl turned to see that Ikki had indeed brought her the cat back. She rushed over and took the cat into her arms, squeezing it until his shrieked. She then clasped the lease on it and walked away. Thanking Ikki and the ANBU as she made her exit.

The ANBU turned and nodded to Ikki. He went back inside to claim his reward and to take another Mission.
