Yuko, child interrogator (muahahaha)

Taxes

*recap*

when we got there we say Missy glaring up at about 3 guys holding various wepons.

"HEY KIDS WERE BACK ... hehe now wheres our money?" the guy in the middle grinned sadistically

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

KAKASHI POV

i stood there with the orphans glaring at these men.

"here!" Missy tossed a bag of coins and paper to they men who caught it and simply weighed the bag in his hand. "now take it and leave"

"hehe sorry sweetheart but it seems the price has risen sense out last visit... our fault for late notice"

a little girl who looked about 4 said quietly "that's what you said last time" but apparently not quiet enough as in the next second she was up front and being help by the collar by an angered lackey for the guy in the middle.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU LITTLE RUNT!!???!!!??" he yelled i almost took a step forward when Miko put a hand on my shoulder and just shook her head. I was about to ask why when she pointed back to the front.

i turned just in time to see Missy swipe her legs under the guy and catch the small child before any more damage could be dealt to the innocent 4 year old. Missy, now standing protectively in front of the small girl , crossed her arms in front of her face just in time for a whip to come crashing down on her exposed skip. she winced at the contact but held back her screams, weather for the sake of the others or fear of worse punishment i don't know.

"so that's how she got all her scars" i breathed out... thankfully not being heard.

once the two or three blows stopped she lowered her now bleeding arms. the fact that she seemed unfazed along with the glare she was giving the thugs seemed to unset the men in front of her.

"you have your money and your not getting anymore tonight. now take it and leave before i just keep it to pay for your collateral damage and have YOU report to your boss empty-handed"

a couple of grumbles later "this aint over kid your not getting out of this one" and the men left with there money.

MISSY POV (finally only took three chapters)

i sat down and began to wrap my new soon to be scars and the ones i got from there last visit. i glanced around too see little Kimi, the 4 year old i saved earlier, sitting next to me and the new guy staring at me in wonder. i sighed and waved the very confused namu over.

"th-that w-was amazing Missy-san. but do-sent it hurt.. you know to get whipped like that" though his eyes clearly know the answer.

this kid is smarter than he lets on... i don't even think he is a kid. yes hes older than i am but there just something about it, like hes acting like this and doesn't seem to be enjoying it

"ya well namu , you'll get used to this, they come here once or twice a month and each time i get a few new scars to add to my collection. after a while you just don't have the urge to scream... don't get me wrong it hurts like hell but that's just what i live with." I shrugged as if it was nothing.. the pain in my arms still strong but nothing life threatening

" every time they show up , someone makes a comment that gets them in trouble, normally it Genna or Miko though you haven't met Genna yet, this is the first time little Kimi got caught though." i I looked over at the sleepy toddler beside me.

"you mean you take hits for all of them?" his eyes wide

idiot he dropped his stutter, what are you up to " well ya i mean think of it this way, these kids still got a chance to get adopted, ive had scars since even before i came here so im out of luck but them..." i looked around gesturing to all the others " they have a chance, i can risk the extra scars, the others don't need to be in my predicament"

i looked him in the eyes and i could see the shock eminent in them, but behind it i could almost see a bit of admiration, not like someone you look up to but like your proud that some had the guts to do it in the first place were you never did.

i stood up and picked up the now sleeping Kimi careful not to get blood on her" this is there life, they are going to need someone to look at for direction, and the little ones need to feel like there safe or they would never fall asleep at night." with that i walked off to put Kimi-chan to bed .

what are you hiding.. who are you really Namu,, tch Namu, what a stupid name couldn't you have thought of a better cover... oh well i guess i can keep you around tell i learn more who knows maybe your actually here to help us but you an never be too carful

with that i set Kimi in bed and tucked her in before making my round to get everyone else in bed as well. noticing in my endeavor my sleeping mat to be gone i realized that we would need to go find a new one. "ill just visit town here tomorrow, may as well use the time to see what namu can do." i mumbled aloud before setting my self up for tonight's watch

*timeskip* (i know there annoying but deal with it )

"Hey namu come here for a second" i called the newbe over

its been about a week sence he showed up. and i cant take it anymore.. i HATE not knowing.

"h-hey Missy what do you need" he caught up with me at a jog

i walked a bit further without talking soo we were out of hearing range "ok fess up" i said stopping and doing an 180 to look at him

his eyes went wide "u-um i don't kn-know what you mean" he defended weekly

"who are you were do you come from and why the heck did you call yourself NAMU of all things" i ranted off real quick

he looked around really quick making sure no one was looking before he went up in a poof of smoke. i coughed and waved my hand in an attempt to prevent smoke inhalation . before me now stood a man around 21 with gravity defying hair and a mask. his headband reviled he was a ninja but i didn't recognize the symbol.

he put his hands in the air in mock surrender "ok you got me. my name is kakashi hakate and im a ninja from the hidden leaf village. I was sent here to help. i've just been trying to find a way to get 12 kids out of the town and into the land of fire without being noticed." he shrugged

"your here to help?" i questioned tilting my head

"yes"

"WELL WHY DIDNT YOU JUST SAY SO " i screamed before mumbling "baka, i could have told you how to get us out ages ago"

he raised an eyebrow "im listening"
