Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Mizu!" Taki called, knocking on her sister's door.

Mizu sprung awake. "Ok, I'll be ready in a moment. You go wake up Kai awhile." she said.

Taki nodded, walking to Kai's room. She knocked on the door.

"Come in." came Kai's voice on the other side of the door, in a monotone.

Taki opened the door, seeing Kai with his shirt off, in a meditation position. "Kai, get ready. We have to go to the meeting grounds soon. Your team's going on the mission with us, correct? You better get ready." Taki left the room, and went to check on Sayuri.

"Sayuri?" Taki knocked on her door.

"Sayur-EE!" Taki called again, knocking harder. A sparrow flew up to her, pointing outside. Taki, remembering that Sayuri summoned sparrows, followed the sparrow outside to where Sayuri was training.

"You too. We have to be leaving soon, so we really don't have time to catch a full breakfast," Taki stated. She turned to one of the servants. "Can you bring us two muffins, and two glasses of milk? I'll have blueberry...Sayuri, what flavor would you like? Or would you prefer something else?"

"Yeah, they are. They're right there now. Stop hiding guys, even when hiding your chakra, you making the bush rustle, Mizu, take note that there's no wind, and Kai, your skin is to light-colored to hide in shadows!" Taki said, giggling slightly. "Who are you trying to fool? You know I'm the best of the rookies at noticing peoples' presence, even without the red eye Kai."

"Hn." Kai and Mizu both came out of their hiding spots and asked for two banana nut muffins, just before the servant went into the kitchen to get the food.

"Yeah. It's a week long, and I have our bags packed." Taki said. Out of nowhere, as they always manage to do in anime, she pulled out four white duffel bags, one with a bluebell and a music note on it, one with a waterdroplet and winter wolf on it, one with a red eye on it, and one with a lily on it. Mizu automatically reached for the one with the waterdrop and the wolf-those had always been her signs back in the academy days, like how the music note and bluebell represented Taki, and the red eye Kai.

"Wow, you've outdone yourself, Taki. These bags are beautiful. I never understood how you could make these, and you even packed all my clothes!" Mizu nodded approvingly. Kai reached for the one with the red eye, grunting with a hint of gratitude.

The servant came back with the muffins, and Taki, Mizu and Kai quickly devoured them.

"Mizu, summon Yuki for me? He's stronger physically than Xuehua, and I need him to carry our food and such. I have them packed up already, and they're ready to strap onto her back." Taki requested.

"Sure." Mizu said, and soon the twins, along with Kai and Yuki, were heading towards the training grounds.

Tsuki-sensei sat in the training grounds in a deep meditation formation. "I believe you girls know that Kai will be accompanying us on our mission, we will be going by the 5-people position. I believe that you guys have gone over it in your classes? This is a simple D-class mission, as are given to genin, to find a lost puppy. It's supposed to be somewhere in the forest just outside the city, a yellow lab with a baby blue bow on its left ear. This mission can last for an indefinite amount of time, as the woods that surrond us are thick, and very large. I see you guys are ready to go, so let's get ready to rumble!"

They nodded, and went after Tsuki-sensei into the woods. Mizu heard Kai mumbling something along the lines of how Tsuki-sensei had too many unmasked emotions to be a good ninja.

"There." Kai's voice was monotonus, but Taki, who said it at the same time, voice was happy. Tsuki-sensei and Mizu approached just in time to see a person carrying off the puppy.
