Mission Starts

[amane]

(Couldn't think of a better name )

Yue sat on the edge of the village's gate waiting for Hotoka and Natsumi to come. Yue had been a bit early to the gate already had some of her stuff packed in her green backpake that was next her her. She leaned against it looking up at the blue cloudless sky and thought and the mission she got to go on. Would she actully get to meet the hokage again, this might be trouble but maybe no one will ever remember her. Although it might be a relife that way, Yue felt a bit a pain thinking that everyone might forget anout her in the leaf village. With a heavy sign Yue looked on at the ground.

Her hand rested on her chin when she started to doodle a bit on the ground. She was starting to think that they were going to be late or that she went to the wrong gate. Yue got up from the floor and dusted herself off before continueing on to find someone that could tell her if there was another gate in the village. Through all of her knowledge of the village yue only knew one gate. She murmured to herself about how she wanted the mission to begin already, or she would have to go find the two.

[hotoka]

Hotoka walked out of the kage's office after getting the money, the backpacks and the rest of the stuff they got to do this mission. He said goodbye to the Kage and left, without saying a word to anyone else as it could turn out to be too much of a hassle. Mai, his sister, didnt walked near them but made sure she kept an eye on them and stayed close enough to still see everything they were doing. Hotoka walked on and on and finalyl reached the village gates. When walking closer he saw a girl sitting at the gate, the girl being Yue.
He walked up to her and with a quick "yo" he greeted his new partner. He gave her all of the stuff she needed for the mission and looked around. "I'm sorry, I didnt meant to be late.. I kinda got lost.. again.." he said with a small grin on his face. It seemed like even in his own village he could get lost and resulting him into getting late almost every time. "Is Tsumi here already?" He asked curiously as sat down next to the Nara girl. He was still a bit curious about her though and wanted to ask her so many questions but was a bit to shy to suddenly ask everything to the girl. A bit of an awkward silence later he did saw someone walking towards the gates, not being sure wether it was Natsumi or someone else but the height was about right and thus Hotoka jumped up and slowly walked towards the person.

[Yue]

(OOC: Me gunna post)

Yue looked up at Hotoka for a moment giveing him a small nod before gathering all the supplies that he had given and placed it in her backpack, and placed the money in her pocket. Which she was amazed at how much it was. It was obvious she had never been on a mission where she had recived so much yens. "Nope, Natsumi is later then you are." She said looking up at the sky. After what seemed like another eternaty Yue saw Hotoka getting up and walking somewhere else. "W- Where are you going?" She asked still sitting as Hotoka got up to leave.

Yue stared at what Hotoka was looking at and saw something coming up to them. Yue did not bothered to see who it is but got up any ways. She did not budged after that but watched to see why Hotoka had gotten up, because she could not tell if it was Natsumi or anything.

[hotoka]

Hotoka stood up, squeezing his eyes a little bit to see who it was. "Is that.. tsumi?" he said softly while walking closer. When he came in 10 meters of her he saw that it wasnt, but looked alot like her. After that he walked back to Yue. "Nah, looked like her though" he said in a voice, soft enough to not be heard by the girl walking by. "Hmm, this is taking long.." he said after a long awkward silence between them and with a small snap of his fingers he let his sister, Mai, shunshin next to them. "Could you please wait here untill the Natsumi girl comes here? She's an Hyuuga, y'know.. White eyes, black hair, you saw her a couple of days ago." "Hmm, tha' one? Kay, sure I'll wait. Just lemme get a lock o' both o' ye chakra." She said as she performed a strange handseal, looked both Hotoka and Yue in the eye and let go of the handseal. "There, well.. Get goin' " She said as she waved them away.

"Kay then.. How far can we go?" "I'd say 'bout 35 kilometer" Hotoka's eyes suddenly spread open wide. " Th.. thirtyfive? no wonder.." he softly added behind it. "Well, we have to get going now. We might stop at times to start collecting herbs so you'll have plenty of time to catch up with us." With that Hotoka left his sister behind and almost dragged Yue with him, wanting to get away from the psycho at the gate. "So how should we go?" Hotoka asked, while holding out a map. "Or we go via Sound or via Sea.. If we went via sea we would go from Water, Tea, Sea, Tea again, Wind, Bear, Earth, Waterfall, Sound, Fire and then go back to lightning. If we went via sound it would be the opposite of that.. What do you think?" He said, still holding up the map.

[amane]

After Hotoka returned from where the girl was passing by Yue laughed a bit. That girl was not even a hyuuga. Once Hotoka summoned his sister Yue stared at Hotoka's sister not even knowing what she was doing. She quickly looked away after Mai had scanned her chakra and waited until they finished talking looking down at the ground bored. When Hotoka suddenly dragged her out of the village she stumbled a few times before stopping, geting a bit of a head ache. "I'd rather go to Sea." Yue said wanting to take a longer time to get to Leaf village. Not that she hated Fire contry that much but it was more of the fact she felt uncomfetable in there with other Naras.

Yue looked over the map for a bit looking at the sea. "How long will it take to reach the sea contry?" She asked mesureing the distance from there and lightning. It did seem like a long distance, but she guessed it was less then 35 kilometer. "That girl is stricted." Yue suddenly said looking back at Mai but said it in a low voice so that only Hotoka can only hear.

[hotoka]

"Then Sea country it is." He said in response to Yue. "To reach the Sea country? With my navigationskills it would take around.. seven years." He added behind it with a huge grin on his face. "But if we had to count in the water country to find herbs, train, meet with the Mizukage and after that go via Tea to the Sea it could easily take a month, maybe two or three weeks." he said, as the grin on his face slightly started to fade. "I hope you can find your way across the country with either maps or compasses 'cus if you let me lead we'll most likely end up in another continent." Hotoka had, by now, picked up speed and kept running to what he thought was south."Strict you say.. Hmm, yeah.. you could say it like that. It all happened a couple of years ago. Five, maybe six.. I tried to flee from my clan again as they were.. well.. really annoying.. But my sisters stopped me before I could even leave the island.. no, the town and well.." He said as he tilted his head down and pointed at his body, which was filled with scars. "Well, a couple of years later I tried it again and succeeded, but they still want me back and such and now I'm being send back again to learn the clans techniques and stuff.. Pretty sucky yuh.." He noticed that this conversation was getting rather uncomfortable and decided to ask something about her instead. "So you're a Nara hm? They are from the Firecountry and have shadow-jutsu right? Sounds pretty awesome. Why arent you in the Fire country anymore?" He asked, only realizing that he tried to keep that question to himself just a couple of days ago. He quickly let out a cough and tried to pretend he didnt asked, and simply kept running.

[Hmph]

((OOC: Nuuu dont leave meh >< sorry im late))

Natsumi ran to the village gates, she was very very late her back pack jumped up and down on her back as she ran. She quickened her pace and ended up tripping over her own feet she got up quickly not bothering to look around to see if anyone saw and she continued running. When she finally got to the gate she didn't see them. This got her nervious, she activated her Byakugan to help her zoom in, to see if they had gotten ahead of her after a couple of seconds of looking she thought she saw a couple of figures, and she began to go towards them at full speed, kind of upset at the thought that they were going to leave her. As she ran she realized the two were running too, so she Shunshin in the direction of the figures, if she was wrong about them then she would just have to simply turn back, she hoped she was right.
"Wait!!!!!" She called out to them as soon as she was within hearing range, she had slowed down a bit but she was still running

(( seriously sowwie))

[Yue]

(OOC:-hugs Natsumi- Your here!!!)

Yue ran after Hotoka as he quickened his speed to get to the sea conutry she only raised an eye borw at him when he talked about how long it will take. "I'm sure your not that bad." Then when he told her a bit about his past she listened quitely not bothering to interupe until he finished. Her eyes widened a bit when he asked if she was from the leaf village, but then her expression changed from siprised to aloofness. "Yes I am from the fire country, but after my parents died I wanted nothing to do with that village anymore, I ran off after that. And how did you know abot my clan's jutsus?" She asked after telling Hotoka her past.

It was a few seconds later when Yue heard something behind her when she looked back she saw Natsumi. With a small smile, she stopped from where she was. "I see Natsumi." She informed Hotoka waitting for natsumi to catch up with them. It would be unfair for them to go on ahead of her and make her run. But there was something else, Hotoka's sister was not there with her, guessing that Natsumi did not wait for Mai, Yue waved at Natsumi.

[hotoka]

{Small rule; If one hasnt posted in 24 hours the next one is allowed to post.}

"I'm sure your not that bad." Yue said. Hotoka almost cracked up after hearing that and did his best not to laugh. "Hmm, can you keep a secret? Actually I didnt even wanted to go to the Lightning country.. My actualy destination was the Rain country but I couldnt find it and ended up here. Heh, even get lost in the town itself while I've been there for a while. Letting me lead would be a bad idea, yep." He said, while his grin slowly turned into a soft smile rather than the half sly, half friendly grin he usually had. After hearing about her past Hotokas expression got a bit more sirious though and slowed a bit down, even though he didnt really noticed it himself. "Why I know about your clans jutsu? It's pretty much what I did for a living before I became a shinobi. I'm extremely interested in jutsu, and especially clan jutsu thus is would seem more than logical for me to know at least the Konoha clans." He noticed that these kinds of talks were rather relaxing for a change, instead of being hyper all of the time.

Hotoka looked back after he heared someones voice, it was somewhat familiar and with Yue saying that it was Natsumi he directly turned around and walked towards her. "Tsumiii" He said with a cheerfull voice. "You're laaate.. here are your stuff" And Hotoka started to hand her over the money, pouch, medic kit and a backpack, not with one, but two extremely heavy books. Hotoka had quickly slipped in his own book the moment he turned around as it was really heavy and hey, she made us wait and lose our pace. Hoping she wouldn't find out he gave her the backpack with the usual grin back on his face. "What did you do to my sissy-chan Tsumiii? You didnt.. heh heh.." He said with a quick wink. "Well, we're off to the water country now so we should be going east.. ish.. erm.. read~" He said as he pushed the map in Natsumi's hands.

[Hmph]

Natsumi saw the two talking in the distance as slowed her run to a jog and caught up to them. She finally took her place by her partners, and she panted, trying to catch her breath as she had things for the mission nearly thrown at her. "Hello to you too" she said breathlessly in kind of a grumpy tone. She grunted as she tried to hold everything in her arms at the same time, and then began to get everything organized so that she could carry everything comfortably.
"Sister? What are you talking about?" She looked around to see if anyone other then them was there and she shrugged wondering if she should tell them why she was late, but she was sure they wouldn't care that she had to run back home to switch her net stockings when they ripped on her, they were her favorite pair too. She frowned at the thought, but after a moment the Hyuuga got snapped out of her foolish train of thought, and took on her serious face again.
"As for being late I'm sorry for having delayed you" She said and she would leave it at that
When she had everything situated she took a long look at the map. "Okay. Water country. Sounds great" She said although even after looking at the map she still wasn't sure about where to go "Lead the way"

[Yue]

Yue raced back to where Natsumi was with Hotoka. Once they stopped in front of Natsumi Yue let the two talk and get hte supplie before speaking. "I think it girl that was in the hospita la few days back." Yue answered Natsumi's question, trying to remember if that was the same person or not. Yue took thhe map from Natsumi's hand to look at it once again before looking back at the two. "Should I lead? I know my way to the water country. It's the other countrys I do not know about." Yue said fingering the lines on the map slowly looking at which way they should go and if Hotoka was right. She did not take her eyes off of the map wanting to memerize the lines that htey will take to the water country.

Yue was oddly calm about leaving the village and setting off into the mission. She did not think she would feel so relax knowing that sooner or later she would have to step foot back into the fire conutry. Yue then gave the map back to Natsumi and turned around to began running with a second head start on the two. Although she did not slow down she took a look behind her to see if Hotoka and Natsumi was there or if she had to turn back around.

[hotoka]

As the way they would walk was finally decided Hotoka finally started running at full speed and was quickly running through the forrest. Bushes and such went by as he was constantly running in the direction Yue told him to go. THe landscape kept going on and one and became rather boring untill, after almost two hours of running, Hotoka saw that the forrest was changing into a hilly grassfield, with the most beautifull flowers and plants spread around the area. Hotoka quickly stopped and, hopefully, the others did as well as he went searching for herbs. But before he started looking he speeded to Tsumi's backpack and got his book out and searched for the list of herbs in grassland regions. While having his book in his one hand and the claws in the other he scrambled through the field, looking for herbs. While skimming through the field he saw some plants that were a bit odd but not one that was described in the book, or at least not in this region. After what almost seemed like an hour of searching he finally found something though and after a quick look through the book it he even thought he was right. Looking at it it had all the things the describtion of the Yarrow herb contained. Around 25 centimeter tall, and had triangle shaped leafs with a red-ish color over the leafs. He carefully got it out of the ground after taking of his claw and started to get out the seeds of it and in the end placing both the leaf and the seeds in the backpack.

{Trying to find: Yarrow. Chance of finding it: 17%}

{For Tsumi and Yue, check these pages to see if there is any herb growing here and use the describtion to explain what the herb looks like. After we've all posted Ill ask a mod to look at it and say what we found.}

[Hmph]

Natsumi saw Hotoka begin to run so with a sigh Natsumi started running too, ignoring the weight of the objects she carried on her back, which seemed to be getting heavier as time passed. They ran a long distance and when they finally came to a halt they didn't take a break they immediately went to looking for herbs. Natsumi grabbed the big thick book that contained the information on the herbs. She looked around for the specific herb of which they sought. She was determined to find it even if there was a 17% chance of it being found.

She searched the area, with the help of her Byakugan and the illustrations from the book she felt like it would be easy for her to find, but it ended up being harder than she thought. She scanned the area with her eyes for hours. Some time had passed and Natsumi brightened up as she looked down at the book and then up at the plant which looked close like it, but with more observation she saw they weren't the same. Disappointed, she thought about going back to tell the others that she was unlucky in her attempts at finding it but her pride didn't let her so she continued to search. After three hours of tedious searching she finally found the plant. She stood there comparing it to the book for almost 10 minuets before she decided that it was the right one. The leaves were evenly distributed on the stem and the leaves in the middle and the bottom were the longest. Carefully, she picked the plant out, got what she needed and put it away

She continued to skim through the book, to see if there were any other herbs in the area that she should get while she was at it. She spotted something in the book, a herb called the Dagmather that may be found some where near, the chances of finding it was greater than the Yarrow. There was a forty percent chance she'd find it, so with interruption she went on to searching for it, looking up and down from her book every couple of seconds. It didn't take her as long as it did before, for her to find something. She had been searching for almost an hour and she gave a sigh of relief as she saw identified the plant "This must be it" She said to herself, studying it and picking out the parts she needed. She retrieved the plant and examined a bit more to be sure it was the right one before putting what she needed in her backpack.

[amane]

Yue stopped from where she was going, already knowing what a Yarrow type herb looks like. Along time ago she did a study on that and strangly she still had a perfect image of what it looks like. Slowly Yue looked down at the grass, looking for this redish plant, Yue felt like she had all the time in the world considering she needed time for this. Although he chances of finding this place was lamost against her, she looked at the area around her for about what seemed like half an hour before she started to move again. The sun burned down on her as she swat down on the ground, brushing the grasses and weed aside to see if it was anywhere close to her.

She looked up at the sky rubbing her neck a bit before standing up and moving a foot away from where she was last time. Then when the time passed of what seemed like around more then two hours and she had already covered more then half the field, Yue was a bit annoyed at have not being able to find it yet. Moving from one place to another Yue suddenly saw a triangle shaped leafs with a red-ish color over the leaves. Holding it in her hand Yue moved back to where Ntsumi and Hotoka was and placed it in her back pack. "I think I found it."

Results are there.

[hotoka]

After giving the flower a last quick examination Hotoka found out a small difference in the leafs as they were more orange coloured than usual and it had green striped through it. A stupid mistake like this cost him over two horus of searching and he quickly searched for another one. Looking through the endless fields of flowers and such he saw thousands of different plants and such but non of them were listed in his book. But after another thirthy minutes he finally found something, something that indeed looked like one of the herbs in his book. After a quick examination he was almost sure it was the herb as it had black leafs, and white thorns. Even though the chances were against him Hotoka still fully examined it.

After that he went looking further and strayed a bit off of the others, ending up near a forest again and now in a river-like region. When there he again, went searching for herbs. This time he had more herbs to find as there were both a river, a forest on the one side and that giant grassfield on the other. While searching and searching he did found some herb that was listed in his book and upon having a closer look it looked a bit like a lilac, with hundreds of flowers hanging from it. He quickly took a herb and some seeds with him and continued looking for more herbs.

Hopping over the river Hotoka saw another kind of plant getting his attention. He walked closer and examined the thing. It was a vine-like plant with alot of small flowers on it. As he followed the entire thing and climbed up he finally got to a place where seeds could be found. Together with a sample he climbed a bit higher to see where he was, as he by now realized he lost the others. The higher he got the more he could see but no matter what he saw, it werent his teamates. With a small sigh Hotoka simply sat on the branch waiting for someone to walk by untill he, all of a sudden, felt some weird black liquid crawling on his back. In a small moment of shock he fell backwards and when he was only milimeters above the ground he was held up by his leg. When looking up he saw it was his sister. After a small lecture of his sis she directed him back to the group, where he watched the others for a while but quickly shifted his attention towards training.

[Hmph]

Natsumi continued looking though her big bulky book of herbs. She had found two already, the Yarrow, which she knew she had right, and the Dagmather which she wasn't so sure about. She continued to walk with her face nearly pressed against the book, looking up occasionally to make sure she wasn't lost. She soon began to wonder out of the grasslands and into an area that seemed more forest like. She was looking for a herb called the Asarabacca, she scanned the ground carefully as she walked, still trying to remember the way back to the team so that she wouldn't forget. Some time later, after a while of searching Natsumi stopped in front of a small area of ground and she bent down to touch what she thought was the flower head of the Asarabacca herb. It was a single dull purple flower lying on the ground with its roots clearly digging into the dirt...there was also many small buds. She observed the violet plant, decided this was as close as she could get to the description, took what she needed of the herb and set off to look for more.

Natsumi continued forth, making sure not to take too many turns, if she got lost now she'd never find her way back to the others. She continued walking straight ahead until she reached a small river, her first instinct of coarse was to take a break and relax but she continued to search until she finally found something. She picked up something that looked a lot like what could be the Amrans. It was a plant with many lilac like flowers, she nodded, pretty sure that this was it, and put the necessary parts in her bag. Tired, and with her eyes having been strained for far too many hours Natsumi finally decided to head back to meet the team, She still kept her eyes open though, just in case there was any other herbs in the area that she was missing.

While walking Natsumi saw something from the corner of her eye, a black plant, something that kind of stood out but still something she had almost over looked. She wasn't looking in the book anymore but she remembered seeing something like this inside of it. Natsumi walked up to the plant and picked up the black rose, she thought the plant was beautiful, with its smooth surface and strange white colored thorns. She knew this plant was very rare, so there was a chance that this wasn't even the right one, still she decided to take it back with her to show it to the team just in case. She finally made her way back to the team, still looking around the area for more herbs until she decided to bring the search for the plants to a consummation for now, as she announced that she was going to take a break for training and went off back into the direction of the river she found earlier.
~Exit~

[Yue]

(>< Too lazy to make the post any longer >>)

Yue started going after many other types of herbs since she noticed that Hotoka and Natsumi had found some as well. But she did not know what most had look like, so when Hotoka got back from his sreach she took his book and looked through it for what type of herb too look for. One was extreamly hard to find considering it was only 5%. Since she wanted to gt this over with, Yue started looking for it right away. Looking through the places to find the black rose first, Yue took her time to scan the area, never missing a single detail of the grasses. When she was looking for maybe about an hour, YUe stumbled upon a plant that looked just like what she saw in the book. Looking closer Yue confirmed it and placedi t in her backpack.

When looking for the last two herbs, Yue went around the field a bit impatient with the way she was finding it. It was obvious that both Hotoka and Natsumi had already finished and was waiting for her. So as fast as she could, Yue went back and forth, looking. When she was near one point of the field she noticed a plant. Opening the book again, Yue compared the plant but there was a few details that was wrong. Throwing it away, Yue continued walking then looked down to see two farmiliar plant. Opening to book once more she found out that it was the last two she need before she could rejoin Natsumi and Hotoka. After placing it in her pocket Yue left to find them.
