Starting Of Our Mission

Ida’s POV
___________

“Naruto!” I shouted, pounding on his door. “Naruto! Naruto!, Naruto!” I continued to shout, and to pound until an annoyed blonde finally opened the wooden object up.  I wasn’t prepared for it, so I went back to knock again. 

“Ahh!” Naruto shouted as my fist got closer and closer to his face.  Immediately I turned my velocity towards the ground, but the quick change made me lose balance and I stumbled forward into Naruto.  My force hit him, and together we fell back into his house, me landing on top of me.

Both breathless from laughing, I pushed myself off him and onto my feet.  With my out stretched hand, Naruto grabbed it and I helped him up. 

“You two are a mess.” Kiba commented, pushing his way into Naruto’s house.

“We’re just a good team.” I huffed, defending myself and Naruto.

“Sure you are.” Kiba gave us a toothy grin.  “Just how good of a team?”

“The best team in the whole troposphere!” I shouted, directing to the space around me.

“Don’t we have somewhere to be?” Shino intervened.

“Right.” I agreed, I turned serious and faced Naruto, “I got us a mission!” I cheered.

“To find Sasuke?” Naruto looked hopeful.  His whole face lit up like a puppy with a bone.  I nodded my head with a cheeky grin on my face.  “You-you are amazing!” Naruto bubbled, and grabbed me in a hug.

Naruto picked me up, so my feet dangled in the air.  “I can’t believe you convinced Grandma Hokage to give us a mission to find Sasuke.  You are the best.” Naruto gushed.  A part from squeezing the life out of me, he also set his mind to nuzzling my head; therefore messing up my beautiful hair.

“I-I can’t breathe.” I gasped, clawing at his arm.

“Sorry.” Naruto muttered.  His arms released me, and I was set back on me feet, free to move around and breathe as I liked.  “What’s the mission?” He asked once my face went back to normal.

“We’re going out to search for a bug.” I cheered.

“A bug is going to help us find Sasuke?” Naruto looked doubtful.

“It’s a beetle called the bikochu.” Shino bothered to explain.

“I’ve never heard of it.” Naruto admitted.

“Of course you haven’t.” Kiba mocked, crossing his arms in a smug look.

Before  Naruto could say anything back, I grabbed his arm and plowed through our new team, “We have our resources now we depart!” I battled cried, and took off with Naruto at my side into the crowded streets of the village.

“Ida!” Naruto groaned, as his feet struggled to gain ground.  I didn’t respond or stop until we reached the village gates.  There I let go of Naruto’s arm and let him huff as we waited for Kiba, Shino, and Hinata.

“Now we wait.” I announced, and sat down in the middle of the road, arms crossed and all.

Hinata’s POV
__________

“She realizes we still have to pack right?” Kiba sighed.

“I’ll go tell her.” I volunteered, and walked out of Naruto’s house.  Kiba and Shino followed me out.  Shino calmly shut the door, and headed away from us without another word. 

“See you in a few, Hinata.” Kiba waved goodbye, and also headed away.  I stood on the step of Naruto’s apartment for a few lingering seconds.
