Adrenaline Rush
“You’re alright? You're sure your okay?”
Rhodey's voice was panicked as he helped you to your feet. The suit was warm to the touch and it's cooling systems were running loudly as it worked in overdrive, trying to cool the suit down after Rhodey has pushed it to its limits getting to you. When his visor pulled back, beads of sweat were running down his brow.
“Yeah. Yes. I'm fine. Fuck that was an adrenaline rush though.” You said.
Rhodey looked you over like he was making sure you were actually fine and real and not some figment of his imagination. “When I saw the side of that building blow out, I thought I lost you.”

Chapter TWELVE
It is three days later when Sasuke receives the scroll containing a brief overview of the mission he has been allocated to alongside Sakura with Kimimaro acting as proctor. Simply put, they are to hunt down a group of people selling information on different organizations, kill them, destroy all information on Oto and bring back anything that might be useful. Details woudl be relayed to him by Kimimaro.
It sounded simple enough.
Sasuke was in a particularly bad mood that day. Orochimaru had called him into his throne room first thing in the morning where he had listed out a bunch of rules Sasuke could care less about regarding Sakura. Then Kabuto had decided to pay him a visit and had wished him luck in the most taunting way possible and the only thing that stopped Sasuke from tearing the man apart was the fact that time was near and he couldn't risk messing up. After chasing the medic out, he had sharpened his already sharp kunai more than necessary before he stormed out half an hour late, kind of understanding Kakashi and his tardiness.
It felt nice to be late out of spite.
Had he been someone else, he probably will have pulled a Kakashi excuse too, but that was a little too much.
He is an Uchiha, after all.
Kimimaro and Sakura are already waiting when he arrives at the gates. Sakura is chattering happily and while it isn't obvious, Kimimaro is clearly listening.
The pinkette is the first to react upon seeing him. She doesn't seem to mind at all that he has kept them waiting for half an hour. She darts over and gives him a brief hug before she smiles and waves in his face. "Hi Sasuke," she says.
Sasuke simply nods and is about to say something when he catches sight of something from the corner of his eye.
Kimimaro shoots him a dismissive glare and while never admitting it out loud, Sasuke is sure he is a little more rough than necessary when he pats Sakura's head. Sakura doesn't complain, though, so he decides that he gets away with it.
Once satisfied, Sakura turns to Kimimaro. "Can we go now?" She asks.
Sasuke turns to Kimimaro as well. "Orochimaru said you have the details," he says.
Kimimaro nods. "Let's head out first." He says. "We'll talk at the inn tonight."
A part of Sasuke wants to complain but the reasonable shinobi part understands that details and important information and plans were best made when they were rested and relaxed. So he simply nods and they head out.
A few seconds into the journey and Sasuke notices something. It is something so small and trivial that anyone else would have easily dismissed it.
Not Sasuke, though, because Sasuke is nothing if not observant and it is in his blood to never dismiss something that his instincts point out.
He has seen Sakura during one of her training sessions with some Oto shinobi and had even fought her himself and he knows that skill wise, she is more than able to hold her ground in a fight. However, in missions, he has no idea what role she plays. From their interactions, he thinks that apart from the fighting, she seems to have next to no knowledge about the political side of being a shinobi. She blurts out mission content and has no qualms with sharing fighting tips and it is obvious she isn't suited for a mission that includes interactions.
Still, her steps are confident and just looking at the way she easily keeps up with him and Kimimaro it is obvious she has traveled a countless number of times. He recalls Sakura saying that she doesn't leave Otogakure apart from when she is on a mission and as far as he knew, she was more in than out. Still, no amount of indoor training could compare to the experience or the confidence gained on field.
He tucks this away.
They enter a small civilian village to spend the night. Kimimaro goes to get them a room at an inn while Sakura and Sasuke wander off to find them food.
As he watches Sakura skip around with a carefree air about her, Sasuke feels suspicion eat away at the back of his head. It is usual to spend a night at a close by civilian village to rest and plan before moving into the actual village the next day. However, there are a countable number of villages around Tanino village and all were as significant as the one before. The villages in this area ran on trade and as far as Sasuke knew, had no affiliation with any Shinobi village, so unless the group they were looking from were a bunch of farmers during the day, it was highly unlikely their destination was any of those.
And that left the only location in the area that was travelling distance from their current location.
Yoshiwara Village was a red light district known by those who knew. Men and women, boys and girls alike were sent there to earn money or pay back debts and as far as he was concerned, it was a horrible place. Those who had been long abandoned and forgotten by the rest of the world lost themselves from reality and Sasuke had to admit, it was the perfect place to look for a group of people crazy enough to sell information on Otogakure.
"Oh, look, Sasuke!" Sakura tugs on his sleeve and points at a small candy stall. "I want the pink one. Come on, Sasuke, please~" She tugs on his sleeve again.
Sasuke sighs but allows himself to be tugged over to the shop. The old lady running the stall looks up and greets them warmly "Hello."
Sakura nods in greeting and holds up a packet of pink candy. "May I have this?"
The lady smiles and turns to Sasuke. "Anything else, young man?"
"Hn." Sasuke grabs a few more of the ones Sakura had wanted and places them into pinkette's hands.
The lady chuckles and quickly adds up the price.
Sasuke notices that she is giving them a discount and offers her the closest thing to a smile he can manage. The two of them then enter a small stall nearby and and buy food for the night. By the time they returned to the inn, Kimimaro has spread the futon and is waiting for them. He looks like he wants to complain about the time but when he sees Sakura happily chewing on the sweets, he simply sends him a sharp nod and smiles in the pinkette’s direction.
Once settled, Kimimaro pulls out their mission scroll and spread in on the tatami. Sakura and Sasuke gather around him.
"The people we are looking for are a no named informant organization," Kimimaro says. "According to what we have on their history, they all have some sort of tragic past. The man who we suspect to be the leader had his whole family massacred by a hired mercenary."
"So in exchange, he sells information about them," Sasuke scoffs.
"So we kill him?" Sakura asks.
"We need to find him first," Kimimaro points at the photograph and the information beside it. "And make him spill. We want to know who he's sold information to."
"What about the others?" Sasuke asks.
"This group isn't a big one. We have the names and faces of all the members and I doubt they'll move separately."
"And why are we here?" Sasuke asks.
Kimimaro looks up at him, eyes equally dark. "Our prey is known to often visit the red light district." He shoots a look at Sakura, who has lost interest the moment the talk became strategic. "And Orochimaru-sama wants Sakura to act as bait.”

So do you have a set date for when you leave for your mission thing? I'm planning on making a Tumblr and I want to at least post some Monkie Kid content before you leave. (I don't interact with you much but your art and writing is really good) Also, a year and a half? Dang. You're gonna have a LOT of fandom content catch up on when you get back and hopefully new episodes of Monkie Kid to watch. - Pixel Anon
My original goal was to have been gone rn but due to some personal setbacks, I still very obviously here hgsgshjff
Not sure of my new leave time, just depends on how I'm feeling and what happens in the next couple months. You at least still have me for probably the next two months or so for sure though!
And yeah HGSGDJF I'ma have such a ludicrous amount of stuff to catch up on when I get back. I just hope I return before the series ends so I can still be part of this amazing fandom. You can bet I'll probably be making stuff for it even after it finishes though HJSHDGHDF *wheezing*
Anyway! You got lots a time before I dip! I'm very curious about what kind of content you'll create, Pixal Anon! Guess I'll just have to wait and see ;D
Tbh, I’m not worried about getting sent stateside. I’ll be fine serving in Indiana, or Tennessee, or even Texas. What I am worried about is the Call Opening itself. Everyone gets so hyped about it, and I don’t want the event itself to be, like, disappointing? Or awkward? Like, all of my friends’ call openings I’ve been to so far have been to like, super cool places (Kenya, Scotland/Ireland, Estonia, Ukraine), and everyone just gets super excited. I feel like there’ll be that anticipation when I open mine, of, like, “oh snap is he going to europe? Is he going to brazil? Is he getting sent to north africa?” and then I’ll be like “You’ve been called to serve in the Georgia Atlanta mission” and everyone will be all “...Yay?” But it’s whatever.
ok i just queue'd up all my art posts. i wish i knew how to prevent the queue from posting until i actually leave, but NO WAY am i staying up past midnight the day before i hop on a plane so i can have a queue.
so fair warning here comes a flood of old art, just one post a day for however long it'll take for the queue to run out.
I leave in three weeks, oct 15th. i'll be gone for 18 months. I am going on a mission for the LDS church and will not have access to a computer, much less tumblr.. so i will leave my younger sister in charge of my account; she will keep you all updated about how i'm doing. don't expect any art tho, not really allowed to draw ocs or work on stories when i'm a missionary. i'll try to take photos of the area and stuff and send em back home in emails so my sister can show you.
for now though, i'm still here for a few weeks :3
gotta go to snowflake tomorrow to chat it up with the lds family services
they're gonna tell me if i'm too much of a head case to mission or not wheeeeee
"shit. shit shit shit mother f------------!! Missouri!" *FIZZLEPOP*
