13: On A Mission

Itachi: Tsura.

Tsura cocked her head to one side as if asking what itachi wanted.

Itachi: you've packed everything?

She nods.

Itachi: even... Lollipops?

She shakes her head and starts writing... I'm running out. So I didn't bring any this time.

Itachi takes out two packs " the kinds you buy." Her eyes lit up and took it.

How did you know? I never told you.

Itachi: I found them when I was walking on the north side of konoha. That's quite far from your house.

She frown a little and nods. Then she lits up and hugs her lollipops. She bows repeatedly as if saying thank you.

" Taichou... She your friend?"

Itachi: this is Tsura Hanaren. She's joining us for today.

Itachi: let's rest for a while before moving on.

" Hai. " The teammates replied.

Itachi sat beside Tsura " aren't you eating?"

She shakes her head ... I'm not hungry yet. There's probably another 5 kilometers to our destination.

Itachi: I see. How do you know?

My parents were buried 2 kilometers away from the Yan Mansion. 

Itachi: I see.

I buried them there myself, so the head couldn't dig it out and do something weird with it.

Itachi: we could drop by after we're done with the mission.

She smiled and nodded her head.

Tsura put seals on the scroll and placed it in her bag. They could hear sounds approaching, so the team decided to leave before getting noticed.

Tsura passed the scroll to itachi and then whispered into his ear " no one can open it now. Even if the scroll is being physically cracked open, the seal I put hides the content. Properly sealed."

Itachi strokes her head " good job."

At this time, Kakashi flash steps to behind them " yo."

" Kakashi-san?" One of the teammates say as he saw Kakashi approach from behind itachi.

Itachi turned around " kakashi-san. What brings you here?"

Kakashi pulls onto Tsura's shoulder and made her lean against his back " on a mission. Just finished one and hokage made me come here to check on things."

Itachi: I see. Hokage afraid that I can't handle?

Kakashi: maybe. The Yan Family people are stubborn. Plus... We're stealing something from there.

Itachi: taking. The scroll belongs to konoha.

" Tsura... Is it me or there is... Hostility...? "

Tsura laughs a little with no sound... I think it's just Kakashi being a little edgy.

" Edgy...? Kakashi-san too tired?"

Maybe.

Itachi: want to visit your parents?

Tsura shakes her head and said softly to itachi " mission. We're probably being chased."

Itachi: we could spare a few minutes.

Tsura shakes her head.

Itachi: alright then.

Kakashi came over " alright what?"

Itachi: nothing much.

It was nightfall and they camped for the night .

Kakashi sat behind Tsura and shaked her a little " Tsura. Tsura." She turned around.

Kakashi: let's sleep together. I'll sleep beside you.

She puffed her cheeks and shaked her head pushing him away.

Kakashi: why?

She pointed to the others and shaked her head.

Kakashi: come on.

She shakes her head. That's when itachi spoke " don't force if she doesn't want to. Being shy is normal. Plus... Kakashi-san, it's good to catch some real sleep on a mission. It's your shift next, isn't it?"

Kakashi: I got it. Good night Tsura. *Kisses forehead.*

" Good night" she says to kakashi and hugs him then goes to sleep.
