After The Last

Chapter 15

"A Perfect Day for a Wedding"

Nine people assembled in the Hokage's Office.

"I called you all for a very important mission," Kakashi said.

"A mission? About what?" Lee asked.

"It's so rare for us nine to be on a mission together," Kiba added.

"Hey there, hey there! Let me finish first, okay?" Kakashi interrupted them.

"We apologize for being rude, Lord Sixth," Shikamaru muttered.

"Okay listen up all of you. I think this is will be your last mission as a team." Kakashi stopped. All of them were a bit shocked.

"Last mission as a team, huh?" Shino murmured still wearing an emotionless face.

"Tomorrow is Naruto and Hinata's wedding." Kakashi declared.

"Tomorrow?!!" They all screamed simultaneously.

"Yes," Kakashi said while smiling.

"That was so sudden!" Choji exclaimed.

"Well, yeah but Lord Hiashi wanted it to be done by tomorrow," Kakashi explained.

"I see," Sakura muttered while touching her chin.

"So, what is our mission?" Sai asked.

"Alright! Your mission is to look for something as a surprise wedding present." Kakashi revealed.

"A surprise wedding present? That's troublesome." Shikamaru murmured.

"Well, it could be as a team or individually." Kakashi added.

"It's hard to find a wedding present if we only have a day to look for it." Lee complained.

"That's part of your mission. Anyways, there is one condition you must not forget." Kakashi stated.

"Condition?" Ino confusedly asked.

"Yes. Make sure Hinata and Naruto will not know about this mission." Kakashi added.

"All right. Are we settled?" Kiba asked.

"Don't get so excited Kiba or you might end up getting none after this mission." Shino teased him.

"Shut up your mouth Shino or maybe it will be you who will get nothing but a beehive." Kiba fought him back.

"Oi quit it already. You can now start your mission. You may now leave my office." Kakashi declared.

Finally, they left the Hokage's office and started looking for wedding presents.

"Shikamaru went out with Choji. Kiba, Akamaru, and Shino looked for a present together too. Lee, Sakura, Ino, Sai, and Tenten looked for gifts all by themselves.

"You seem to be giving them a hard time, Lord Sixth," Shizune said while petting Tonton.

"Shizune, I told you to drop the Lord thing..." Kakashi said while giving her an awkward smile.

"Is Hinata in the village?" Shizune asked.

"Yes, she was preparing I think," Kakashi replied.

"What about Naruto?" She asked him again.

"I sent him on a mission but I think he's on his way home by now." Kakashi revealed.

"What?!!!" Shizune screamed.

"What?" Kakashi asked in confusion.

"Tomorrow is his wedding and you let him out for a mission? Are you serious, Lord Hokage?!" Shizune was totally in shock.
