Twin Missions?
[/size][size=+1]Keotsu returned to his room, and picked up the ANBU report, Diango and his conversation still fresh on his mind. He looked across the room, and saw the packet still laying on his dresser. He opened it and read the briefing. ?So?I?ll be on a mission with Shikamaru and Asuma-sensei, and then Rena and I will disperse to tackle our ANBU mission?I?d better go tell her?? He pulled on his jacket, and started towards Rena?s house.
As he neared, he noticed the lights where on, and much movement inside; he silently reached for a Kunai, having left Mikomi at home. He knocked on the door; no answer, just more ruckus. ?Uh?.? said Keotsu, a little confused. He knocked again. Rena opened the door. Keotsu could see boxes everywhere, papers laying about, and Rena looked like she had just climbed out of the disastrous mountain of it all. ?Keotsu! Great, I was just about to get you! I found something, and you need to see it!? Keotsu got a little nervous; Rena didn?t usually act like this. ?What?s going on?? asked Keotsu.
?Well?I was going through some of my old clothes?and a slip of paper fell out. Your dad gave it to me before?.?she started hesitantly. ?Go on. Its okay.? Keotsu reassured her. ?Well, he gave me the slip of paper, and it had longitudes and latitudes on them, so I ruffled for all my things, and marked them down.? she said, pulling Keotsu over to a map.
?Look here.? she said, pointing to a valley she had circled, ?something is here, and your dad wants us to go there.? Keotsu examined the map for a few moments, and made a few measurements. ?It?ll set us back a day, but we can actually get there on our next ANBU assignment..? explained Keotsu.
?Oh, we have a mission?? she said, starting to pick things up, and put them away. ?Yes, its an intelligence mission?Orochimaru was spotted in that valley; we are not to let Kakashi or Sakura know?And I think Naruto returned yesterday, so we can?t tell him either.? Keotsu explained, helping her pick up.
It was the next day, and Keotsu, Rena, Asuma, and Shikamaru stood at the village gate. ?So, is everyone ready to go?? asked Asuma, lighting a cigarette. ?Well, we had better go?? said Keotsu, as they started off.
Diango watched as Keotsu left the village. He had seen the coordinates last night, as Keotsu had walked Rena home. He needed to talk to her as well, but that would have to wait. He knew the coordinates, and he knew what was there, but that?s not what he wanted. He turned around, opened a portal, and stepped inside.
Diango stepped out the other side, traveling across the country in seconds. He looked around the forest he had arrived in; it would be a perfect haven, where it not for the dark secret it harbored. He began to walk through the forest, the utter silence deafening, in a place that should have been blistering with life. The perfect setting of calmness and tranquility, set him all the more on edge.
A man came through the cleaning. He wore a white kimono, a purple rope belt, a sword at his waist, and eyes blood red, but stone cold; Sharingan. They walked past each other, neither making contact.
Suddenly, Diango gripped his halberd, spun, and parried the man?s sword.
Saskue said, ?That?was the right way to block my move.?
Diango smiled. ?Bring it.?[/size]
