"This should be easy enough..." Rohiko said as she quickly as she rode her bike down the street looking for the elderly lady's home. She didn't quite know where she lived; however She looked around the neighborhood addresses so that she could physically locate the place she was suppose to go. "hmm 289 Tetsuki ave." She said as she quickly turned her bike so that she could go down the street that was labeled Tetsuki Court. "Hmmm, I'm probably getting close..." Rohiko said as she quickly peddled her way down to where she came across the street that she was looking for. "ah, here we go!" Rohiko said as she approached the house, allowing herself to slowly roll over to where the front gate was. She calmly dismounted her bike and opened the gate to guild the bicycle inside. She stopped her bike at the front stairwell, and quickly pulled a bike lock out from her butt bag. Locking her bike onto the stair rail, Rohiko quickly ran up the stairs and prepared to knock on the door.

She was wearing her nice lovely green sweater and grey sweater that really fit the color scheme of the cool autumn day. She had decided to go home first and put on her loafers instead of her shinobi sandals since she would be taking her shoes off inside anyway with this mission. She also wore long black socks up to about her mid shin; which was quite comfortable. Cozy and stylish, that was what she was going for today as she felt inside her butt bag for her few kunai, senbon, shuriken, explosive tags, and a few blood clot pills. She finally allowed herself to knock on the door. "hello? is anyone home?" Rohiko asked as she tapped her knuckles against the hard oak door.

When the older woman finally answered, she seemed a sad sight. She was dressed up decently, but her hair was a complete mess. "Oh, hello dear...you're here to watch the dogs correct?" the woman asked sweetly as she pulled her purse out from behind herself. It was a huge canvas bag; which Rohiko wondered if it was actually a purse or an AnBu team supply bag. "yup that's me ma'am!" Rohiko said sweetly as she pointed a thumb at herself. "I'll make sure your dogs are taken care of." Rohiko said stepping inside, taking her loafers off so that she was only wearing her socks inside. "so, where are these little cuties?" Rohiko asked the elderly woman as she reluctantly looked back towards her living room space. "just over there, please take care of my babies...they are all I have left." The woman said somberly as she began to make her way towards the door."I'll do my best," Rohiko said as she gave the woman a silly salute. The older woman sighed and quickly turned towards the door once more.

"There is a list of tasks you will have to do with each dog...make sure to do all of them or else...I will make you pay." The woman said in a suddenly dark tone. Woah...What did I do!? Rohiko thought to herself as a bead of sweat rolled down her brow. "I promise it won't come to that, no worries." She said exhaling as the woman shook her head before finally leaving. "thank goodness that's over." She said as she quickly turned to head towards the kitchen where the dogs were suppose to be. "hey there pup..." She said as she entered the room to find a sudden scuffling of paws against the cool wooden flooring. "they all ran off..." She said with a sigh as she realized that she would have to hunt down each one in turn if there was to be any hope of her completing her tasks. She shivered at the thought of whatever it was that this woman was going to do to her if she failed to do any of these things. "let's see what she has left for me to do." She said as she quickly picked up the notebook that had been left on the front counter. She swiftly picked it up and began to read the note that had been left, that explained what she should do.

hello village Jonin,

I currently am in need of a doctor's visit and need expert protection for my precious babies. Each one will need to be fed, watered, and walked. How you do so is at your will; however be aware that the small dogs will only eat hand prepared meats with lemon, and the two big dogs will only eat a minimum of 5 cans of regular dog food. I have no idea why they choose to eat that unrefined trash; however I digress. Please watch over my babies, and if there is any failure in you duties, I will personally end you.

XOXO, 
Ms. Yokoto-san

Damn...she really is that scary, she thought to herself as she realized that this woman thought that this was a task for a Jonin. "I can handle this" she said as she looked down to find one of the little fluffy dogs down at her feet. "oh hey there little guy..." She said as she reached down to pet him. This however must have been a mistake, because he attempted to bite her. Rohiko quickly pulled her hand away as she prepared to shout at this dog. "Hey, Watch it you little punk!" she shouted as the fluff ball decided it best to run away. Rohiko watch his little fluffy body disappear into the next room as she realized that she would have to hunt these dogs down if she had any hope of keeping her soul.

"Stupid dogs!" she shouted as she chased the multitude of six dogs around the house in attempt to get them each on their leashes. Rohiko found it harder to catch each one in turn than she had originally thought. She caught each one in turn before finally she was faced with the final task of catching the basset hound. "This one should be easy." She said as she suddenly heard a *Roo Roo* from the kitchen. As she quietly turned towards the room, she tiptoed towards the kitchen hastily. As she peeked her head around the corner of the door molding, she found the funniest looking dog she had ever seen in her life. He was a mass of wrinkles and had stubby little legs that looked like they shouldn't be able to support the poor fellow. "Hey that's bud, how about we go for a walk?" she suggested as she pulled the leash up in her hand to show it to the dog. Before she could look again, the dog was suddenly gone.

"Damn, that's weird..." She said as she noticed that the dog and hidden itself much faster than most other animals. This one obviously had some training. As she quickly began to look around as she wondered where the hound had gotten off to. As she quickly began to rummage around the room in search of the hound. *roo roo* she heard from the other room as she quickly ran into the other room to find the dog standing there staring at her. "You..." She said narrowing her eyes at the creature as he quickly took off. "Get back here!"
she shouted as she chased this hound all around the house. The hound quickly scampered about as quickly as possible as hey easily out ran Rohiko. She did her best to get him; however it didn't happen as she again lost sight of basset hound.

"Damn...for a dog with such stubby legs you can sure run." She said as she suddenly had an idea. She could lure the dog in with food; which would make it easier to get two tasks out of the way at the same time. "Now let's see, what do basset hounds like to eat?" She thought to herself as she quickly opened the fridge to find an assortment of canned foods, fresh cut fish, and a basket full of uncut lemons. "Why all the lemons?" She asked as she picked one of the sour fruits up in her hand. "Hmmm, oh well." She said putting it back, totally forgetting about what the note had said. As she took out one of the cans out, and quickly opened it to put the food into the bowl. Suddenly a big old English sheepdog made his way into the kitchen and quickly began to eat the food. "Shoji? What are you doing in here?" She asked as she noticed that the one dog that actually cooperated was the one that she actually like. "I'm trying to catch that stupid basset hound, not you bud." She said as she quickly reached in to grab the fish that had been in there.

"I think I'm suppose to make the food..." She said sadly as she placed the fillet of fish on the counter and quickly pulled out one of the knives that had been in one of the drawers inside of the kitchen. "Hmm how do I do this?" She said as she began to attempt to chop up the meat into tiny cubes. She felt pleased with herself as she tried to place the cubes into the dogs food bowl. "Come and get it!" she shouted out to the dogs as she stood there waiting for them all to show up to eat the food. shoji sat down as non of the other dogs showed up. "What did I do wrong?" she asked herself as she realized that non of the dogs had shown up for the food she had prepared.

"Finally caught you...you little stinker!" Rohiko shouted as she scooped up the basset hound that she had finally gotten her hands on the much faster than expected dog. "now let's feed you..." She said putting the leash on the final dog as she walked him over to where she had put the chopped up cubes of fish. "Eat," Rohiko commanded as she waited for the dog to touch the food. The hound only sat down and looked at her as if she was placing poison in front of it. "what's wrong with it...I made it fresh." She said as she gave the dog a look of annoyance. The favor was returned as the basset hound and Rohiko had a stare down there in the kitchen. "come on, just eat it," Rohiko begged as she wondered what she had done wrong. Suddenly in that instant, the basset attempted to dash off, dragging Rohiko along with it. "Ahhh," She shouted as she was suddenly tossed to the ground, hitting her head on the counter above her. "ouch..." She said as she held onto the leash for dear life. She was not going to be going back and hunting this dog down a second time.

As she brought herself back up to a sitting position, she suddenly noticed the note from earlier laying there on the floor where she had absentmindedly left it earlier. "oh sweet, let's see what the note says!" she exclaimed as she used her free hand to grab onto the note so that she could look it over once again. Rohiko read the letter, and then noticed something that clicked in her head now that she thought about it. "hmmm, lemons?" she said, remembering the lemons from earlier that she had found in the fridge. Quickly mustering a good deal of strength, she fought against the hound to pull him along with her so that she could grab the bowl of lemons. "hold still you idiot!" She yelled at the dog as it resisted her every move. "just...hold...still" She repeated as she placed the bowl of lemons down and attempted to cut them with the knife she had left out earlier.

I have to be careful, she thought to herself as she carefully cut the lemon while fighting with the hound. Each cut was a risk that she was willing to take as she cut the lemon down the middle so that she could squeeze the juice out on the fish. Rohiko had just finished, when suddenly she was pulled to the ground once again, sending the knife flying up into the air. If tumbled down as she looked up in horror as it spun towards her face. She quickly rolled to the side as the blade slammed down into the floor boards. "Dang that was close..." She said with a sigh as she quickly squeezed the juice onto the fish, which suddenly brought the hound to slowly approach the food. In no time he was eating it up as if he had not been detesting it only moments ago. "what a strange dog..." Rohiko said as she heard the door unlocking. 

"hello?" She declared as she turned to find the creepy old lady standing right behind her. "hmm, It seems that you have done well...don't relish it too much." The woman said as Rohiko jumped at her presence. "tha...thanks I guess." She said slowly shuffling towards the door. "I hope your doctor's visit went well, and please...take care." She said quickly turning before unlocking her bike and quickly riding it away. "man that was a creep lady." Rohiko said in a low tone as she continued to ride back towards her home so that she could prepare to take a lunch break.
