Description of mission: Amongst Konohagakure there is the working class, middle class and the higher class. The latter have children all across the village who are usually as bratty and obsessed with material goods as their parents- And the Suneko family is no exception to this. The eldest daughter, being at seventeen years of age has asked her Daddy to post a mission requesting for shinobi help carry many shopping bags for her to buy things for her upcoming party, like balloons, dresses, flowers and everything. You must put up with her constant whining, and prove as useful to the young Heiress, Suneko Rin.
Mission objectives:
• Walk across Konohagakure with Rin carrying various heavy bags.
• Don’t try to annoy the girl, as your pay may be lowered.
• Help her with ideas for the party- Her favourite colour is pink, and she likes everything girly.
Reward: 1,000 Ryo.

Please take note that this mission really went on longer then I would have liked. (really long)




Amarante made her way down the, rich, part of town in search of the Suneko family’s house or mansion as it appeared to be as she got closer. The mansion had to be three stories high, was white in colour with a red tiled roof, various shrubs and sculptures in the area surrounding the building, being attended to by various help and was surrounded by a high metal fence. Approaching the buildings gate, Amarante noticed a small metal box fixed with a speaker, camera and some buttons, one being labelled ‘press to speak’ and another being labelled ‘door bell’.

‘An intercom? Wow these guys really are loaded’ she mused to herself, pressing the doorbell button. After a few minutes of waiting a voice rang out through the intercoms speakers. “Like, what do you want?” asked a voice. The voice was of a young female and judging by the word choice and the fact that Lillian used to roll around with her, she was pretty sure it was Rin.

“Ms. Rin Suneko?” Amarante asked, pushing in the ‘push to talk’ button.

“Yeah that’s me” the voice spoke again. “Like, who are you? You know your outfit like totally makes you look like a total loser, you know that?”

‘Great, this is really going to be a long day’ Amarante inwardly told herself. “My name is Amarante Ms. Rin. I’m the hired shinobi you requested to assist you today” she informed the rich girl.

“A girl ninja? How totally drab” criticized Rin. “You know you are like totally not going to get a boy friend in your line of, ah… Work.”

‘Geez chick, you’re making me sound like some kind of street walker’ Amarante inwardly spoke. Clicking the button, she answered the rich girl. “Well I’m a bit too young to worrying about that anyway so until this point, it’s ok.”

“What do you mean you’re too young? I can see you, you know. You can’t lie to me!” Rin proclaimed, seemingly a little agitated. “Hold on, I’ll be right out. Then we’ll see how old you are!”

Amarante heard a loud click signifying that the gates were open now and after a few seconds a girl clad entirely in tight pink clothing appeared from the door way and began to approach her. ‘Dear god! That chick is completely decked out in pink!’ Amarante mused to herself. Inspecting the rich girl as she approached she took special note of the girls hair, it was obviously dyed blonde and was pinned up in some sort of bun. She also wore big looped ear rings, a tight leather (latex?) miniskirt with a matching pink tee and pink high heels.

Swinging the gate open in front of her, Rin began to inspect Amarante from head to toe then pointed an accusing finger. “What do you mean you’re too young to worry about it?! You’re like fifteen, that’s way old enough to be like into guys and etcetera” Rin broke out of her rant for a moment and put a finger to her lip in thought. “Unless… You don’t like girls do you?” she asked interested.

Amarante sweat dropped. ‘Wow really that’s what you came up with?’ she mused to herself. “Umm no, I don’t like girls like that…” she answered the rich blonde girl. ‘I don’t put off that kind of vibe do I?’ she inwardly asked herself.

Rin sighed. “Shame, we could have had some fun…” she said, making Amarante raise an eyebrow and inwardly ask, ‘What?’ Before letting Amarante recover however, Rin continued. “So if your not into girls, why don’t you like boys yet?” she asked.

“Well it’s because I’m only twelve” Amarante replied, shocking Rin.

“You’re what?!” Rin screamed fairly overdramatically. “Man no way I like, don’t believe it!” Upon hearing Rin’s words, Amarante produced her ID card and showed her. “OMG it’s true!” Rin once again wailed, hurting Amarante’s ears.

‘Geez, come on chick. It’s not that surprising’ Amarante inwardly said to herself. “Well, now that that’s over with, how about we get going” she suggested, dragging Rin out of her over dramatic state of shock.

“Oh… Right… Let’s do that!” she replied enthusiastically. “Oh, like wait here a second. I’ve just got to go get my purse, it’s so cute. You’ll flip when you see it, k?” Rin ran back to into her house to retrieve her purse, which Amarante would bet would be pink as well. This chick really seemed to like pink.

[JiMmIyZ - Hel]

‘Dear god, I really hope this chick isn’t really a girly girl’ Amarante pleaded. ‘Although if she is, it’s probably best I just act like one too, if I don’t she might get annoyed and if she gets annoyed my pay gets cut hmm… Well it shouldn’t be too hard’ she determined. ‘I used too be one myself after all, granted I never had the ‘like’ speech impediment but still, I was a spoilt brat.’

After a few moments of thought, Rin came back out sporting a very small, very stylish hot pink purse which appeared to only be large enough to carry a small purse, a small thin strap arching around her shoulder. “You like?” Rin asked, spinning three-hundred and sixty degrees, showing off her bag as well as her out fit.

Amarante bit the inside of her cheek. “Yeah looks great” she admitted. It was true it did look good in her opinion but the thing was way too tiny to even be called a bag. It was far too impractical in her opinion but that was just probably just the ninja in her speaking. “So… Shall we?” Amarante gestured in the direction of the Konoha shopping districts.

“Right let’s go” Rin concurred, leading the way down to the streets. As they walked Rin spoke of her exploits within the village, including some petty stories that involved Lillian, and of her fathers work. Throughout all of this Amarante tried to act as interested as she possibly could be, although she was bored out of her brains. All this chick was talking about was getting drunk really, sort of annoying.

It was when Rin asked of her past that Amarante hit a cord. She wasn’t up to telling this girl of her past and as such tried to change the subject. “I’m really not that interesting Ms. Rin” she insisted. Rin wasn’t going to take that as an answer though and pushed on.

“Like come on Amarante” she pleaded. “Like I just told you all about me, you may as well repay the favour you know.”

Amarante moaned. “Fine, I’ll tell you” she caved, Rin becoming ecstatic upon the revelation. “Although it really isn’t that interesting.” Continuing down the street, Amarante was beginning to be able to see the markets coming into view. ‘Just a hundred metres short huh? Oh well’ Amarante mulled over. “I was originally from Kusagakure” she informed the rich girl. “I was orphaned however and eventually found my way here to Konohagakure where I was eventually enlisted in the ranks of the shinobi of this village.”

Amarante spoke the truth; she was orphaned and was originally a citizen of Kusa. Just not in the way she was letting on. “See not interesting is it?” she giggled, facing Rin again who despite Amarante best effort to make it not interesting was intrigued by her story.

“No way, you’re an orphan?” she asked, Amarante nodded. “And you’re from Kusa?” Amarante nodded again. “What about your parents?” Rin then asked, Amarante shrugged. “Well I’m like sorry to hear that.”

“Don’t worry about it” Amarante claimed. “I understand where my parents are coming from in doing so” she elaborated, her face for a second though displayed her true feelings and an intense hatred filled her eyes, but only for a second. Rin, thankfully, hadn’t noticed it and was now going on a small rant.

“It’s not right I tells ya” she exclaimed, throwing her fists in the air. “You’re like only a kid; your parents shouldn’t throw you away like that. Parents like that should be thrown away and locked in a dungeon” she finalized.

Amarante chuckled. “Hehe you’re right. They should be locked away” she agreed, confusing Rin.

“But you just said you like understand where your parents were coming from” she exclaimed.

Amarante nodded. “I do understand” Amarante confirmed, Rin tilting her head in confusion. “But it doesn’t mean I condone it.” Amarante shook her head. “Never mind, we’re here now. It’s best we just continue with what we intended to do” she insisted.

[JiMmIyZ - Hel]

Upon noticing where she was, Rin completely forgot about what they were talking about a moment ago. “Right well, let’s like, get to it yeah?” she cried. Grabbing Amarante’s hand, Rin began to charge down the streets of the shopping districts proclaiming that she knew the cutest clothes shop in the whole village.

Once entering, said cute shop, Rin began to rummage around all the shelves, stands and clothing racks around the store. Amarante was worried. Out of all the high priced clothing and stylish designs it appeared Rin was only interested in the pink coloured garments. ‘Ah pink, my most hated colour’ she mused to herself. Looking around the shop for a moment Amarante noticed the class of people present.

They were all high class society, dressed in the finest of clothes, all looking rather posh. ‘Well it appears as though I’ve entered rich guy territory’ Amarante mentally noted. Turning back towards Rin, she noticed that she was having trouble deciding between a bright pink mini skirt and a long pink dress. Shrugging though, Rin decided to take both and beckoned Amarante over to hold them for her while she continued to browse through the store.

Once Rin had chosen, bought and paid for a small collection of clothing (all of which pink to Amarante’s disgust), she turned to Amarante and spoke up. “Well ninja girl, now that we’ve gotten all the before hand shopping out of the way. It’s time we like get to shopping for my party, you know?”

‘Before hand… Shopping?’ Amarante pondered whilst exiting the shop with Rin and carrying her shopping bags. “Right, so where do we go now Ms. Rin?” she enquired.

“Now like you see…” Rin began, scratching the side of her head. “That’s like the problem. I don’t know what I’m going to do with the theme of the party and it’s like in two days. I really like don’t know what I’m going to do” Rin admitted in slight defeat.

Amarante giggled. “Yeah, the mission description told me you were having trouble with this” she informed the rich girl. “So how about you tell me what problems you were having and see if I can help” the kunoichi offered.

Rin smiled. “Yeah I was like hoping you would say something like that… But first…” Rin broke away from Amarante and the conversation and bolted towards a small shop across the street. “Don’t you like think this puppy is like the cutest things in the world!” she squealed, poking a finger through the hole in the canine’s cage in an attempt to pat it.

‘God, you have the attention span of a two year old’ Amarante contemplated. Biting her tongue, she nodded her head in agreement when Rin’s gaze drifted towards her in search of an answer. “You planning on buying him Ms. Rin?” she enquired as carrying a dog would be terrible if he had decided to use the bathroom on their way.

“No…” Rin sighed. “He’ll just grow up if I do and I’m not interested in owning a full grown dog, just the puppies.” Rin beamed as she spoke. She continued to pet the small puppy then chuckled. “Hehe hey wouldn’t it be like totally awesome if there were puppies that never grew up? That would be like so totally awesome.”

‘I’m pretty sure they have those things’ Amarante mulled over before breaking out of her thoughts. “Well we should probably get back to your theme problem now” she insisted. “It’s only two days away so it’s probably best that you get a move on with selecting it so you can inform your guests.” ‘It’s also probably best that we get out of here before you see the kittens towards the back of the store as well’ Amarante inwardly chuckled.

Rin looked up. “Yeah you’re probably right” she announced. Straightening clothes out Rin lead Amarante over to a nearby bench before continuing. “Right, so like here’s the problem. I’ve got a theme that I’d like to have but most of the guys going to the party aren’t exactly like okay with it” she informed the kunoichi.

“And what theme is this?” asked a curious Amarante, setting the bags down beside her.

“It’s a hot pink theme” Rin told her, winking. “Like where everyone has to wear like really hot pink or they won’t like be able to get in” she further enlightened.

“Yeah I can see how most of the guys wouldn’t appreciate a dress code like that” Amarante permitted. “You got any other ideas in mind?”

“Well I got like one more idea…” Rin began but seemed unable to elaborate. “But it’s stupid so like never mind.”

“Come on, tell me” insisted Amarante.

“No you’ll like find it silly and probably laugh at me” Rin blushed, turning away.

“I’m twelve… I’m sure I won’t” Amarante rationalised.

“Alright, alright” Rin caved. “Well I was like thinking that we could like dress up in like you know, casual attire and stuff but like either wear like cat ears or like dogs ears or something.”

Amarante mulled it over. “Yeah that sounds good to me” she agreed. Rin was ecstatic with the revelation.

“Really? Like no joke?” she asked. Amarante nodded. “That’s so cool! I like know the perfect place to shop for it as well!” she announced, standing up. “But first…” Rin high tailed back over to the pet store. “Don’t think I didn’t see the kitten to the back of this store Amarante, I know you were trying to keep me away from them!” she asserted, petting the small felines.

‘Damn it!” Amarante inwardly screamed, not letting a smile drift from her face. Rin pipped up though. “Don’t worry about it” she assured her. “I’ll let you get away with it this time considering your like a ninja and you ninja like to get the jobs done like fast and all. This time” she warned, waving her right index finger.

[JiMmIyZ - Hel]

After managing to pull Rin away from the ‘cutest kittens in the world’ Amarante arrived at some sort of dress up shop. Upon entering Amarante was greeted with various outfits of different shapes and sizes. There were costumes for maids, police officers, fire fighters, nurses and different types of animals. “Wait here a sec, I like know the owner so I’m just going to talk to him for a moment.” Upon noticing Amarante’s unsure expression, Rin spoke up. “Like don’t worry, I’m not going to go like out of sight or anything, it’s just you like have to stay here.”

Amarante wasn’t sure why she had to stay right there, at the entrance, but complied none the less. True to her word, Rin didn’t leave her sight and just walked up to the cashier and after a small discussion, bought out the stores supply’s of rabbit, cat and dogs ears and even tails. Walking back over to Amarante with the bags of her purchase in her hands, the teenager dumped them at her feet and beckon Amarante to take them. “Sorry about that” Rin apologised “but this is like…” she stammered her words “a private shop.”

Amarante just shrugged and took the bags. “Anywhere else we need to go?” she asked. Rin nodded.

“Like yeah theirs like one more clothes shop I want to go to” she informed the girl, marching her way down the street. “It’s like on our way back though so it shouldn’t take long. Oh and there’s also balloons and glitter to buy as well.”

‘Yeah shouldn’t take long my foot’ Amarante inwardly scolded. She was waiting for Rin to finish her shop, making conversation and giving her opinion on clothing when need be but they had been at this for an hour now, it was beginning to get annoying. ‘And all she buy’s is pink!’ she silently commented as she followed Rin as she went up and paid for her purchases.

Next Rin lead Amarante down to a party supplies store and bought about a million balloons (she wouldn’t be surprised if it really was that many), ten cases of glitter and some clear dry glue. Leaving the shop, Amarante counted the number of bags she was presently carrying.

Fourteen. She was carrying fourteen bags for the rich girl now but still Amarante considered this a small shop. Back when she was a Kusa resident she herself, being a rich girl, often accumulated a bag total of well over twenty. It was a way for her to pass the time back home but now she was a shinobi and had to train every single day which was definitely time consuming. Shopping these days was something Amarante despised as well as could not afford.

She had taken this mission in the first place because of her previous experience in the area. She hadn’t taken into consideration Rin’s compulsive need to talk, obsessive need for things to be pink and nothing but pink and her speech impediment which caused her to use the word ‘like’ at least three times in each five word sentence.

On the bright side however, the two of them were on their way back to Rin’s mansion now so things would be over with soon. Catching sight of the manor in the distance Amarante turned back to Rin. “Are you sure you don’t have anything left to do?” she asked the rich blonde girl.

Rin shook her head. “No, we like already did everything I think” Rin assured her. “Daddy hired a caterer for like all the food and drinks and stuff so all I really needed to shop for today was clothes and pick out the theme, you know?” Rin picked up her pace and began to skip along the street. “Like I would have usually just got my boyfriend to like carry everything but he had some like important business thing to do so he could make it. So that’s why I hired you, you know?”

Amarante nodded. “Makes sense I guess” she agreed. However on her way home the two girls passed a flower shop and something managed to click in Rin’s head.

“Like OMG!” she cried. “I like totally forgot that I had to call in here and pay for daddy’s flower delivery for the party!” upon speaking Rin burst through the shop’s doors and pushed her way in line for the cashier, annoying some of the other customers who were waiting. Amarante sighed as she followed behind her, hoping that nothing was going to come of this.

Luckily most of the other shoppers weren’t so angry as to do more then grumble at the blonde girl’s antics (having a shinobi come and stand next to her also helping resolve any possible argument). Soon enough though, both girls were on their way back to Rin’s house, the former now complaining about the shopper’s attitude towards her as they walked.

[JiMmIyZ - Hel]

The mansion was only a few meters away now and Rin had begun to rant about how rich her boyfriend was or something. She wasn’t exactly paying attention anymore, just smiling and agreeing. Suddenly though as Rin opened the gate, she pleaded for Amarante to wait a minute before leaving as she had something to show her. Agreeing to wait Amarante walked Rin’s bag into the house (the butler taking them off her hands once entering), and waited by the door.

A few minutes passed and Amarante wondered if she had forgotten about her (she did have an incredibly short attention span), however, Rin eventually made her way back down to the front door wearing a rather… Familiar set of clothing. ‘No way…’ Amarante inwardly spoke, bewildered.

“Nice isn’t it?” Rin exclaimed, spinning to show off her new outfit.

Amarante’s eyes were wide with confusion. “T-they’re my clothes” she stuttered. “Except pink…”

Rin winked. “Not just any type of pink!” she proclaimed. “Hot pink!”

“But why are you dressing like me?” Amarante asked, initial shock now gone but still confused.

“It’s the new theme of my party” Rin informed her. “Not like you but ninja’s you know, like that stuff. Me and Takeshi, the guy who owned the… costume shop, talked about it while we were there and we both liked it you know.”

“But then why did you buy the cat ears and etcetera?”

“Well you never like know when you’ll need thirty pairs of dog, cat and rabbit ears” Rin innocently replied. Amarante was still a little confused out by this but still went along with it. “Well you can like go now if you want” Rin piped up, snapping Amarante out of a mini trance she had accidentally gone into. “You probably have to report this to like the Hokage or something. Say hi to Lillian for me when you get there, k?”

“Yeah alright” Amarante agreed “Bye.” Rin waved bye and went further into the house as Amarante left the premises.

Still in a pit of confusion as she walked down the streets, Amarante stopped once she was two blocks away and alone in an alley. Taking a deep breathe Amarante proceeded to ram her head into a brick wall three times before falling to the ground. “Oh come on that girl is… is… Ah! I don’t even know what to call her! I swear to god if I start saying like now because of this I’m going to either kill her or myself! God damn!”

Now at peace with herself, Amarante checked her forehead for blood. Finding none, she smiled and began on her way to the Yondaime’s tower to file her mission report.
