Junko had left the Iwagakure Tower only a few minutes ago. Her newly assigned mission may be at the library but, in this world you can never expect something go smooth first hand. So she went ahead and took her katana sword with her however she decided to leave her fan at home because paper and wind do not mix too well. Along with the sword Junko only figured it would make sense to bring her butt bag as well which contained her main Kunai,Marbles,Hira and Bo Shuriken, etc. Once everything was ready to go Junko finally stepped out of her home looking forward to officially starting her mission.
She casually walked through the village streets not paying any mind to all the other buildings around her. There was only one place that she was focused on which was the local library. Junko had a blank expression on her face the whole as she kept venturing forth to her designation. Eventually the young shinobi had arrived to a well sized building with a few signs posted around it advertising different books and authors that are either currently are to be apart of said library. Junko started at the place for about 5 seconds before she started climbing up the stair leading to the door. Junko slightly turned her head to the right noticing a small group of kids hanging around one a wall next to the library. A boy with a grey tee shirt, jean shorts, and brown hair had looked up at Junko shortly after she noticed the group of kids. By the way the kids were grouped together they he seemed to be technically the leader of the kids as they chatted amongst themselves. The boy nodded at Junko in a "sup" fashion which earned him a simple wave in return. After that Junko had finally reached the top of the stairs and, entered the library.
A nice warm aroma of fresh pages and newly lit candles filled Junko's nose making her smile in the process. A decent amount of people were inside the library either at a table reading, studying, or somewhere chatting with somebody else. Junko stood were she was looking around until she found a woman who looked to be around her 20's kneeling down near the bottom shelves frantically picking up books and placing them in different spots. The look of worry was written all over this woman's face. She had on a simple dark green robe with a silver sash to tied around her waist to hold it together. Immediately Junko walked over to the jittery woman and tapped her on the shoulder. "Sorry to bother you but; I just came by to the library and, so happened to notice you when I entered. Do you mind me asking why you are rearranging these books?"
The library employee was under a lot of stress and pressure as she put a lot of effort in trying to place each misplaced book in its respectable spot. She heard the front door open but, at this rate she was too nervous to bother herself with the subject. However the very thing she was ignoring came to her instead. The library employee turned her head in the direction of where she was touched while being instantly being snapped out of her trance of replacing books. What this employee saw was a young girl who seemed very nice and considerate towards her. She noticed the Tsuchi No Kuni headband that was resting around her neck indicating she was indeed from this village. This girl had on a simple brown tank top that ended a little bit over the belly button. Under that she had a fishnet shirt that added a little definition to this girl's style as the library employee scanned over her. Along with the top this girl had on a pair of slim fitting black pants that was cut into shorts on the right side which also had a Katana strapped to it. As for accessories this female shinobi also had a long black arm warmer with red X's printed on it starting from the hand then ends just above her elbow on her right arm. On her left arm however she had a short elbow fishnet sleeve with a small and thin red band tied around on one end. Her skin was a nice carmel cream color and instantly just below this girl's amethyst colored eyes were two purple colored thin spikes that ran. Down her face ending in the middle region of her cheeks. Overall this girl was a unique looking young shinobi not to forget the random head on the back of her neck which oddly looked exactly like her. The employee had thought to herself what bloodline or possible jutsu has such a thing to deal with that second identical head. After her swift observations the library employee had calmed down and, stood up still looking at the shinobi girl with long brown hair and salmon colored hair dye around the bottom. "Oh sorry about this; I have been trying to rearrange these books for like a hour and a half. For some reason these very books keep being switched to different places all through out the library making it hard for us to gather costumers without them thinking bad about our work service. We suspect people are messing with these book intentionally. So what we need so far is somebody to help us get all these back in order before something else happens. Can you please help us in this dire situation?" The employee finishes that last sentence sort of in a begging manner while shooting Junko eager eyes.
Of course Junko can't stand by when it comes to problems like these happening constantly. Plus the look this employee is giving her is killing Junko's will to say No which she didn't have any intention for saying anyway. She mostly had a blank expression the whole time and didn't realize it until she smiled after the idea popped in her head. "Don't worry I will try to help you sort this situation out. I didn't have much to do anyway."
In a split second the employee had bursted out with joy when the shinobi girl agreed to help. She took a step forward reaching out her arms until she snatched the poor ninja up bringing her closer while giving a strong hug. She tried her best not to twirl around while she did this because it would just escalate this to a bad turn very quickly but, she just couldn't help the urge to do so. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you so much. I really appreciate this..." After what would look like a very long time the cheerful employee stops moving and notices that the person she was hugging was practically apart of her robe now begging for much needed air. She releases said person while throwing in apologizes in hopes of being forgiven. "I'm sorry I got a little carried away; well very carried away but, you get my point...oh! And by the way my name is Yuri; me and, the other assistants would love having a Tsuchi no Kuni shinobi help us figure this whole mess out for once. It is rather odd yet mostly annoying having to fix all these book over and, over so with your help I am sure we can get this done faster then work on stopping who ever is doing this." The employee now known as Yuri smiles in a friendly manner trying to send a good impression with her new helping hand.
Nothing could prepare Junko for the onslaught of excitement that came from this young woman. To be honest she blinked for one second then all of a sudden she could feel soft hands pulling her in a fast manner. Next thing Junko knew she was being smothered by the employee because her face was embarrasingly pressed into her chest due to the height unfortuneate difference between the two. An bright blush began to burn across her face as Junko tried use her own arms to push out of the woman's hug but, this only seemed to make it worse since now this woman only tighted her grip and started twirling. Junko was not comfortable at all being trapped like this which increased her blush by a lot and, did not fade away for a longwhile even after Yuri let her go. Junko had a hand over the spot her heart would be and, a shocked expression as if she saw a ghost was about to die or something as she took a few steps back to prevent her from being smothered twice in a row. Eventually Junko was able to breath normally and, replied to Yuri kindly. "Yeah I understand what you mean. Anyway my name is Junko Haruma and, I should also add that the head sticking out of my neck here is my Futakongo twin sister Fumiko. However with the greetings aside I think we should start putting these books in order. After that we can start discussing on capturing the person behind this."
Yuri nods in agreement to Junko's words then takes her hand gently then proceeds by leading her over to the employee room. "Come with me in here; there is a person who can give you the information on our book order." Soon enough the two girls made their way to the door in the back of the library lobby. Yuri opens the door while making a gesture for Junko to follow her in. Junko puts two soft hands on the headband resting around her neck while she takes cautious steps into the room. A decent amount of people were back here in this room which abandoned the idea of Yuri being practically the only one here in Junko's mind. For some reason she hesitated to move looking at all the people wander around it seemed as if the two were being ignored (however most of them were actually stopping and, waving,smiling, etc). Yuri smiled seeing the unsure feeling within Junko and, decided to step closly behind her then slightly pushed her forward to force those negative thoughts to remain at bay. "Don't worry Junko I believe you have more potential in hurting us more than we have in hurting you." Yuri taps on Junko's katana with a finger to show Junko what she was going on about. This helped the very ninja gain her natural mind set back as she walked forward with Yuri close behind her. Eventually Yuri and Junko had reached a medium sized table. Another woman who looked a little older than Yuri stood at the table shifting documents and sheets around. On account of hearing Yuri and Junko walk up this woman had turned around to look at the two with calm eyes. Her face was slightly confused to notice Junko with a Tsuchi No Kuni headband and, more importantly a lethal katana sword strapped to her right leg. The woman finally spoke with a soft and extra surprisingly kind voice. "Yuri who is this girl you brought in here? She looks a little...grown to be a lost child doesn't she?" A friendly smile appeared on this woman's face from her playful joke as the red lipstick on her lips had a sort of shine from the lights above making her expression look even more welcoming.
Yuri had giggled a little from the woman's remark and took the liberty of introducing her as well. "I know that Iyanei I brought her because Junko here is helping us with the books problem." Yuri takes a step forward then looks at Junko directly. "Junko this is Iyanei the secretary of this library. She helps run this place as our boss is away with home matters and, will be filling you in on what we do with the book placements. I am going to head back to the lobby now while she tells you what you need to know ok?" Junko nods in an understanding manner which causes Yuri to give a sudden motherly kiss on the forehead before she leaves the room like she said. Iyanei walks over to a stand with a folder of sheets in it. She takes out one then brings Junko to a seat at the table she was standing at. Junko sits close to Iyanei so she can see the sheet clearly. It was a simple map of the library's lobby room with the letters of the alphabet broken up into groups such as A-G,H-N, and so on placed on different parts of the map that looked like book shelves. Iyanei took a quick glance at Junko noticing that she was actually paying attention before she spoke. "Ok Junko; these places here are the many book shelves that are around this here library. There are many colorful posters and tags with the letters on them so everything is easy to identify. Along with those; books are labeled with tags that have a specific letter and color on them. This way people do not have to be here for ages trying to put a book back in the correct shelf. Now our problem is that some joker thinks it is funny to take books in the A shelf and place them all the way in the Z shelf or any other mind numbing place like that. I can't stand having our wonderful employees being made fun of and, look bad in front of our boss that owns this place. He thinks that his workers are simply slacking off but, that is not the case and unlucky for us without proof he will most likely start firing innocent people. This is why the books are such a big problem. It is not because we just hate them being in the wrong spot it is mainly because it looks bad for the library, it looks bad for the employees, and now it threatening our very jobs. So Junko what I need you to do besides helping Yuri fix these books is I would like for you to stay overnight and, try to see if you notice anyone sneaking in and, messing up everything. I am counting on you Junko and more importantly so is Yuri because, due to her young age Mr.Hoshimoza also known as our boss has been questioning if Yuri is one of the employees he thinks is getting lazy in work effort. Which is sadly a ironically false accusation because Yuri is one our top workers here. So don't just do this for us do this for Yuri too. And if you get a job well done a nice reward will be in your favor ok?"
Junko had all the motivational speech that she needed (plus the helpful book info) so she felt like she was ready to get started. Junki didn't know why but, hearing that stuff about Yuri and, her job just slightly angered Junko while it also made her feel very sad. However now was not the time for being confused by mixed emotions now is the time to solve this problem. "I fully understand now and, I will try my very best to get things straight around here."
Junko took the sheet and prepared to walk out of the room when Iyanei had stopped her to say something. I am deeply sorry Junko but, I am going to have to ask you to leave your Katana and other ninja tools here. It is only for safety precautions regarding the books being in good condition. I am sure you know how to use that sword and can be very careful with it but, this is just apart of my job. Don't worry I will take good care of your belongings." Junko looked at Iyanei for a few seconds but, she knew that this wasn't something that she should protest about. So Junko nodded in acceptance and, removed her katana sword and butt bag then gently handed it to Iyanei who swiftly set them down behind her desk so nobody would decide to be smart and play pretend ninja espeasically if Junko is around to watch. Once that was done Iyanei waved to Junko followed by a wish of good luck just before the unarmed shinobi left the room to start her official first day on the job.
