Rising Shinobis [Discontinued]

5: Team Keiji and Team Akira

"Hey Tamit, Shuji and Hamura!" yells Tamaki as she waves at the three, along with their Sensei as her fellow teammates and Sensei meet them at Shizen Gate.

"Greetings Tamaki," says Tamit as she bows a little.

Tamit had long, light brown hair that was held up in a ponytail. She is part of the Hikari Clan, along with her twin brother, Takashi Hikari. She's pretty, polite, and perfect, unlike her hothead, sassy brother. The Hikari Clan specializes in weapon crafting. They're a very popular clan throughout the land, but not only because of their weapon crafting skills but because of their unique family trait. Their family trait is being able to produce electricity and releasing it without the use of actual lightning, which is what most people need if they need electricity and whatnot.

"Jeez, you don't have to bow Tamit!" gushes Tamaki with a smile.

"Sorry, it's a habit," explains Tamit.

"Tamaki!" yells Shuji as he hugs Tamaki.

Tamaki hugs Shuji back and says, "Hey lil' bro!"

Shuji is Tamaki's lil' bro, not by blood though. Shuji is part of the Akutō Clan. He has dark skin that matches his dark, brown eyes and dark, brown hair. He lives with his only little brother, Nobu, that he takes care of. Thanks to the help of Tamaki, Kichi, and Rin, they've managed so far. The Akutō Clan is full of untrustworthy, rogue ninjas. Shuji was supposed to be the next Rogue Prince, but he decided to craft his own path and become a shinobi who didn't kill for themselves but kill for who they wanted to protect. Shuji ran away at the age of nine with his two-year-old brother and stumbled upon Shizen. Tamaki, Kichi, and Rin helped them secure a new life. Another thing about Shuji is that he has a crush on Tamit Hikari and isn't very secretive about it...

Before the hug between Tamaki and Shuji could end, Shuji whispers, "I tried asking Tamit on a date earlier this morning when Hammy and I were picking her up, and her father came outside in the middle of me asking her out and he said, 'You'll never have my permission to date her.' He also struck me with lightning..."

Of course, Tamaki patted Shuji's back, ended the hug as he went to start a conversation with Snow, and was greeted by the lifeless Hamura.

"Hi Tamaki," mumbles Hamura.

"You seem a little, uh, out of it," notes Kichi as she doesn't look away from her book.

"Mr. Hikari tried to get Tamit and me on a date together. It's really tiring because every time he sees me, he tries to hook me up with her, and it's really annoying because I could never like a snotty sandwich like her," admits Hamura as he doesn't even bother whispering the last part.

Hamura has red hair, freckles, and turquoise eyes. He's part of the Sandoicchi Clan, a clan that's not really special. They make the best sandwiches in the whole nation. Instead of becoming a sandwich maker like most his family, he decided to become a shinobi. For some reason, Tamit's father is obsessed with getting him and Tamit together. Though, Hamura is a very handsome boy, sadly he isn't into relationships. He says that they seem complicated and that they aren't worth his time. Another sad part is that most girls try their hardest to get with him no matter how rude he is towards them.

"Hmph, sorry, but I don't know why my father would want me to pair up with a bombing sandwich loser like you," scoffs Tamit.

Hamura only grunts as Keiji-Sensei claps his hands.

"Alrighty kids, are you ready," starts Keiji-Sensei.

"To figure out what our," starts Akira-Sensei as she and Keiji giggle a little.

"First mission is today?" finishes Keiji-Sensei.

"Yes, but only if you stop with whatever you're doing," says Kichi as she's still engaged with her book.

The other children agreed in unison.

"Okay okay, sheesh, we were trying to make things fun, but anyways party poopers, our mission is to sneak behind the scenes of an illegal sell going on at Ocha Island. Supposedly, in a week at dusk, a man in a black hood is supposed to arrive at the dock with special 'tea bags' that weigh as much as five lbs. But, what's really in them are weapons. The Head Village Master says that we should check it out and see if it's really as sketchy as it sounds. And, he even said that if it turns out to be as sketchy as it is, then he'll let us take down the bad guys!" exclaims Keiji-Sensei with excitement.

"You sound like a child," mumbles Kichi.

"Hey! No more party poopiness out of your mouth!" whines Keiji-Sensei.

Kichi closes her book to only sigh and say, "You are a disappointment."

Imaginary arrows struck Keiji-Sensei in the heart as he fell into Akira's arms.

"T-Tell my mother that I love her," dramatically says Keiji as he makes a sound that represents him dying.

Akira-Sensei only giggles and says, "Now now Keiji, we need to get on our way so we can complete this assignment, and then you can die when we get back safely."

"I suppose you're right," mumbles Keiji as he gets on his feet and walks out the village gates. "Now let us go forth and take these dudes down!"

"You mean supervise and only take them down if it's as sketchy as it seems," comments Kichi.

"What did I tell you?" questions Keiji-Sensei as he glares at Kichi.

"The more important question is, what did I tell you?" asks Kichi with an evil grin that causes Keiji-Sensei to rethink his life choices.

After Keiji-Sensei had another dramatic "breakdown," Team Keiji and Team Akira were off on their journey to Ocha Island. Good thing for them is that Shizen had their own dock half a mile away, the bad thing is that it's a three day long trip by boat to Ocha Island and Tamaki gets seasickness very easily...
