Shadow (book 3)

Chores

"Alright, please introduce yourself and say your top 3 likes and dislikes. Along with your hobbies and dream for the future." He nods towards Uda, "ladies first." He sits and wipes the slime like paint from his head.
"Ok, my name, as you already know, is Uda Kunihiko. I like strawberries, training and studying the human anatomy. I dislike when pick on my little brothers for being who they are, those who do things without a good reason. Also I dislike the color yellow orange." She twirls her short brown hair as we stare at her, "my hobbies are training, teaching my brothers and reading. Since I'm the eldest of my siblings my dream for the future is to protect my family and village." Reijiro nods and looks at Waki.
Waki tilts his head, "I'm Waki. Um I like, I like crackers and birds. I hate circles, they are evil especially donuts they steal your soul." He stops taking and we wait, but he doesn't continue.
"Waki? Your hobbies and dream for the future?" Reijiro asks. Waki just blinked back.
"Ok then, let's see what this other side of you says. Wecken!" Waki sits up straight and looks at Reijiro.
"My name is Waki Tanjiro. Number 207. I have no likes or dislikes. No hobbies or dreams. I only wish to serve and obey the orders of my superiors." Well that's nice. Waki apparently was in a village that brainwashed their villagers into following the leaders every word with no personality at all. But I can't believe they did it to those so young, Waki was seven when he was brought here. The brainwashes often resulted in many of them having split personalities. Wecken was the key word to awaken the absolute obedient side.
"Ok, Shadow your turn."
"My name is Shadow. My real name is not of importance. I like dumplings, the dark and pranks. My dislikes are small in closed areas and other things. Hobbies are research and training. My dream, or more accurate word would be goal, is to find my father." I finish.
"Well, you all are very interesting kids." He starts to get up.
"Hey! No fair, you have to answer the questions too." Uda says causing him to sit back down again.
"Very well. Reijiro Amaya. I like spending time with my daughter. I dislike pranks. I read. To protect my village and family." He stands up again, "now go home, we will meet at training ground 4 under the willow at 7 in the morning." He then disappears in a poof of smoke.

All we've been doing is basically chores. I know that we have to do a certain amount of D rank mission before we can even get one C rank mission, but come on, can no one do their own chores?
Taking the trash from houses and cleaning up the trash outside. Weeding, sweeping, laundry, dog walking, and they don't even allow us to use the clone jutsu.
"Your mission today is to babysit the Kunihiko kids while their parents are out of town on their own mission this weekend." I look at Uda, she looks between all of us.
"What? You aren't babysitting me. We're babysitting my brothers. Gosh stop staring at me." She snaps.
"Yes that's correct, now go on." Fin shoos us away with his hand. We step out of the room and into the hallway.
"Well go pack and meet at the Kunihiko house. Well, except for you Uda, since you live there." Reijiro says. Since Fin has his office in his house all I have to do is o down the hall to my room to pack.
Once I was done packing my things for the weekend I head off to Uda's house. I've only been to her place a few times, to meet her there with the others or drop her off. Once there I knock and I'm greeted by Uda holding her year old baby brother. I could hear her mother talking to her younger twin brothers, who were 10, they had only recently joined the academy.
"Well you got here fast. When do you think Waki will be here?" She shifts out of the way.
"He usually gets distracted so maybe, 20 minutes?" I estimate. She nods and leads me to her mother in the living room.
"Ah Shadow you're here. I'm glad it's you guys watching them instead of someone we don't know." She dries her hands on her shirt, "although Waki is a bit strange. Still a good kid though." Mr. Kunihiko comes in with a packed bag.
"Well kids it's time for us to leave." He kisses his kids forehead, "boys, behave for your sister and her team. Uda remember that JJ can't have peanuts and the twins need their medicine before bed."
Uda rolls her eyes, "I know."
"And make sure you guys don't eat to much sweets, and-" Mrs. Kunihiko interrupts him.
"Honey, they will be fine. Uda has taken care of them before and she had help too. Now let's go." She kisses them, "we'll be back soon, love you." She starts pulling her husband out of the house.
"Love you! Be safe!"
