[Mission] Meimei's Kids

[Jin]

"Why do you always have to leave again!" screamed a young boy. “We’re not in school today. We all should be on a vacation! At least once!”

He was tired of it. Tired of seeing his mother go on and live her life outside her household. The irritation through all these years have been unexpressed, stored, pent up. However, today, at this very moment, he was beginning to show his defiance. If only his father was here, he would put some sense into her, and make her mind finally understand what her son was going through.

His eyes were beginning to tear up, and she could only pat him on the head and kneel to his level. She explained calmly that it was for the family, and they need the money in order to live on. In due time, he would understand this. But being a typical adolescent, his ignorance was stronger than her view of reality.

He pouted, she sighed, and the twins looked at the two from the couch. Thinking how amazing it all was. To them, mommy Meimei and older brother Futoru's confrontation was like fireworks. And they only wanted more.

When everything calmed down, the twins both whined simultaneously for ramen, juice, candy, tea, liquor...

"Sake?" she caught on to their words...

"That's it. Go to your rooms. All of you."

She knew she could handel these three. All it took was patience, a peace of mind, and money. Eventually, as the future figures of Konoha, probably in four years or maybe lesser than that, they'll understand what she's going through.

All she had to worry about was the stranger she had to rely to look after her children.

[iNeji]

Omo simply stared blankly at the kid who was arguing with his mother. Out of all the missions the Leaf could've assigned him, it just had to be one where he had to interact with people. Least of all, children. he knew he was in for a night of ridicule & insults, as most kids their age weren't used to seeing a boy who looked as... "unique" as Omo.

He felt the attention of the mother shift towards him, and quickly looked up at her. He tried smiling, as an obvious part of the mission was making the ninja who had hired him feel comfortable, although his forced smile looked like if a dentist had asked him to show his teeth.

"Hyuuga Omo ma'am, at your service" he said in an overly loud voice, attempting to sound confident. "I will do as you ask by any means neccesary"

[Jin]

Meimei looked at the young man in front of her. The scene felt pleasant now, with all the children upstairs, but it was just that quiet moment making her feel all too suspicious even more. The time was not right for Hyuuga Omo, for it was afternoon, and at this time, the children were way beyond out of Chakra...

"Nice to meet you, Hyuuga Omo." She figured, since he was a Hyuuga, probably his "fate" was on the line or something, or the fact that this mission was not of his level. No matter, when she's back, she hoped to have good reviews from him.

"My name is Meimei, and I hope you'll be great with the kids," she said while walking out to the door, ready to get this three-day mission over and done with. When she looked at the time, she went without saying goodbye to anyone.

When she left, instantly one of the twins was at the bottom of the staircase. Eyes staring at Hyuuga Omo. Little that he knew this was only level one in his test...
"Mommy said all you have to do is make us happy. No go make me a sammich!"

[iNeji]

[[OOC: Are the twins 2 male, 2 female, or 1 of each?]]

Omo turned around to see the little boy gazing at him from the bottom of the staircase. Observing the kids features, he nodded slightly, and took a few steps towards the kitchen & then stopped.

"If you would like a meal then please join me in the kitchen." he said, walking towards the kitchen.

Omo opened the refrigerator & pulled out the packed deli ham that was conveniently laying on the first shelf. He took out the loaf of bread from one of the cupboards, and using one of his kunai, cut 2 medium-sized slices of bread, laying them down on the counter, and returning the remaining bread to to the cupboard.

Not making much effort to find any extra toppings, he grabbed what looked like week-old lettuce from the same shelf as the ham, breaking off a leaf, and returning the head to the shelf. He returned to the counter, putting the ham on top of the bread, and putting the lettuce off, covering it with the other loaf. A sandwich.

He grabbed a plate from one of the cupboards and placed the sandwich on top, and turned around, anticipating the twins presence.

[Jin]

[OOC: Two boys. Three all together]

With those little green eyes, he looked up at the Hyuuga and followed his every move. Wherever Omo had to move to, the boy was just at his heels. The twin noticed how good the smell was. And remembered the good old days when his father use to make the very same ingredients... The sandwich seemed so delicious... his barriers fell in an instant.

Quickly he went for the tasty sandwich, and ate it with no hesitation in every bite. Then came from a distance, were clapping hands.

"Interesting, interesting... I see you have found my brother's weakness. Deli ham is—and may forever be—his favorite."

The boy talking from the backyard doorway was the other twin brother.

"That buffoon is Jin,” he pointed. “My name is Jininji—the genius fighter. Mind sparring with me out back?"

[iNeji]

Omo was pleased to see the little boy devour the sandwich like a starving lion on a gazelle. The mission was going well so far, this perhaps could be easier than he thought... but one would never know what could happen.

He heard a voice, and turned around to see the older twin, another little boy. Hearing his request, Omo grew a little worried. This could turn real bad, real fast...but it was his mission to make the boys happy.

Omo bowed. "If that is what you wish.", and began walking to the backyard.

[Jin]

Jininji was smart—maybe too smart for his own good. The task he had in hand for Hyuuga Omo would be a task not easy for the Genin to win over. Jininji, unlike his identical twin brother, had skills able to ring his name throughout nearly half of the Academy of Konoha.

Part of it was because he was an identical twin. The other part was his ability to combat well in Taijutsu—never losing a battle yet. Drained by pride all these two years, he long lacked caring about his opponent's health and safety. This also meant he didn’t care about this Genin and his mission.

As Jininji prepared himself, he figured this kid had no chance of winning. As if he had trapped Omo in a spider's web, he had no way out from this. His actions weren't possible to commence as it could have against a normal opponent, for he had been spellbound by Jininji’s mother's worries of her children's safety. He heard her talk to the Hyuuga as well, and figured out a plan best for him to finally tell everyone that he was so strong that he...

... whooped a Hyuuga of Genin rank already!

"Unlike my two bros, I know you Hyuuga people… Will you stand by your own traditional pride, and attack me? Or lose like some itty bitty shrimp! The choice is yours!"

With no time to wait, Jininji went for the leap, hand clenched, immediately swinging over to the Hyuuga's temple.

Omo watched as the kid charged at him. It was a battle this kid wanted... but it was a battle that Omo couldn't give. He was ordered to keep the kids safe, not to beat them up and hand their asses to them on a silver platter. Only thing Omo could do was avoid being hit, and hopefully the kid would tire himself out.

The little boy leaped up, hand clenched, swinging at Omo. He was fighting a beginner ninja... why not beat him with basic techniques?

Omo quickly replaced himself with a block of wood, quickly appearing behind the charging enemy, hoping that the sudden replacement would cause the boy to smash his hand into the log.

Omo quickly jumped forward, enemy to his back, hoping to goad the little boy into giving chase.

*Kawarimi no Jutsu [Change of Body Stance Technique]
E-Ranked Ninjutsu
Kawarimi no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. When in danger the ninja will quickly substitute themself with another nearby object. This can be a block of wood.. This allows the ninja to quickly flee and hide while the original object takes the brunt of their opponents attack. This can only be done with inanimate objects that are not being controlled by chakra.

[Jin]

From summoning a punch to his opponent, to making contact with wood, the genius, the proud Jininji, remembered studying this attack just last week. That replacement jutsu. Being solid wood, he was able to knock on it, but cause no damage. But the blunt defense didn't harm him as much. It could have as the bruises appeared on his fist, but it didn't... for his mind was at a rage now.

Unlike the other two, he had a temper problem. Tantrums unseen since his first week in the Academy. Since that day, he only earned respect out of fear. Naturally, he figured summoning it again, and by yelling would he fix this bout back to his favor:

"You tried making a fool out of me! It will not happen again! If you don't stand still like a piece of corn, I will tell mom you bruised my knuckle! Better yet, I will run out of here and wait for her to return! That's right! It should work, since I'm nearly as fast as my mo--"

"That's enough, Jininji!"

From inside the house was the eldest brother, Futoru.

"And you better not. It wouldn't be what father wanted."

Being as tall as Omo, he could draw a sign of more intimidation than the twins tenfold, and with that annoyed face, like that of a true teenager, it looked like the storm was just about to begin...

"C'mon inside, dude. Jininji, you timed out. Stay outside for an hour."

[iNeji]

Omo looked at the kid as he threw a little tantrum, the kid probably being spoiled into thinking that throwing a fit was the best way to get what he wanted. in this case, it was for Omo to stay still and remain defenseless as the boy would punch him.

In what seemed like the middle of the boys rant, another boy, the eldest of the 3, cut in, quickly disciplining his younger brother, and inviting Omo inside.

He began to walk back to the house, glancing over his shoulder to get a look at his "enemies" reaction, and entered the house, glad the the elder brother had stepped in before the little boy attempted to get Omo in trouble.

[Jin]

Futoru had a different approach to Hyuuga Omo. He was upstairs for a while, and figured it would be nice to grab a sandwich in the kitchen. When he heard the commotion, and with nothing else more important to do than to play board games back in his room upstairs, he went outside out back.

Now that everything was calm, with his brother pouting in his place and his guest back in, he figured why not make this a game worth enduring for the both of them...

"Why don't we play a game?"

Futoru looked at him with eyes reading as if they had a plan too careless, as if it had no good outcome should Omo lose.

"What I have in mind is simply a multiple choice game. There are four questions," he then writes them on a sheet of paper; taking his time so that it could at least scare the Genin if possible. He wanted to break his spirit somewhat before the cataclysm.

"Take this," he handed the sheet of paper to the Hyuuga. "The consequences are: Get the answer wrong, and I will tear this place apart!" And from the look in his face, he wasn't kidding. He looked like the type who would do anything to get his mood on the right track. In this case, he also had no value of this place. It was bought and owned by his ex stepfather, and that piece of [x] had nothing to care about them when he left.

With only a days left to become Genin, and look the part, it wouldn’t be that much of a bluff. If anything, the boy looked like he could compete against Hyuuga Omo, being only two years younger than him. The possibilities for him to be able to tear down a house could only lie in mystery, or actually witnessed should Omo fail to answer the question correctly.

What's my real father's full name?

A) Hyuuga, Kaito
B) Yokisen, Seimei
C) Todomeda, Jifuto
D) Hiseo, Fudoyori

[iNeji]

Omo listened intently as the ninja described his next task. This mission was far more tedious then he thought it'd be. His face remained expressionless, not showing the fact that he was slightly nervous that he'd get the answers wrong & have to restrain the child by other means.

Omo took the slip of paper reading the first question. He was outta luck... he knew nothing about the personal history of this kid, he had barely met him, and he wasn't even briefed on the last name of the woman who had hired him. He had to make a wild guess...

He looked at the answers, trying to eliminate any names that he possibly could, remaining motionless at his eyes started seemingly blankly at the paper. Hyuuga Kaito... This kid looked nothing like a Hyuuga, and Omo, being a Hyuuga himself, knew the familial relationships that most, if not all, Hyuugas held. This was not the right answer.

The next 3 names were not so easy. He ran each name through his mind several times, trying to remember any detail he possibly could, drawing a blank each & every single time. He'd have to take a wild guess, and resorted to a grade-school guessing technique. When in doubt, always go with the last answer.

"D, Hiseo, Fudoyori", he said boldly, looking the child directly in the eye, hoping that he had made the right choice.

[Jin]

Futoru hummed when he heard the name ring into his ears. Then he remembered... remembered the good old days with a clear view. When his father would take them all everywhere they liked in Konoha. He was kind, benevolent, and respected their wishes. The man was not a shinobi, and had most of his living days stuck in their old half meat-shop half home.

Every day they would make friends with customers.

Futoru sighed.
"That's incorrect." Simple in his words, he said something that might affect someone's heart beat's pace. But knew the Genin would probably try to take him down before he could try and perform his jutsu. Still, the intentions he had weren't that he wanted this place to tear down out of carelessness and hatred. It was so that he could hear someone finally try to name him his father—stamping his brain with some sort of sign that he was still there.

Futoru carried a very complex perception.

"I'll let you off the hook, anyway. My father's name is Kyoshi Futoru. I'm Futoru Jr."

With that, the three days have been cut short when the mother came in right when the two were talking, mission canceled due to the success of another by another Jounin. She learned that the air around her seemed a bit too questionable, with Futoru actually smiling in front of Hyuuga Omo.

She asked what had went wrong, and Futoru told her nothing, just the kids being what they are: troublesome. Then she went to her children, and they both had smiles on their faces. Jin said he fed him, and then Jininji said he was nice enough to test his might against him, but would avoid him every time.

Both said he reminded them of their father. This made both Meimei and Futoru smile. Then Meimei turned her eyes away from her kids, and said to Omo two days earlier than expected:
"Mission Complete, kid." [ooc edit: It's cool.]

[iNeji]

[[OOC: I don't know if I'm supposed to post or not, so I'll do it anyway... just to be safe.]]

Omo's heart paced a little as the kid declared it was the wrong answer. His chakra surged almost on instinct, waiting for the kid to make a sudden move to open the door for open to take him down.

Instead of a sudden outlash, however, the boy offered some reconciliation. He told Omo the name of his father, finally understanding why the name was so important to him. Not only did he carry his fathers legacy in spirit, but by name as well. Omo lowered his head a little, a sign of respect and some mutual understanding. Although Omo didn't know the pain of losing a father, he understood the emotions related to good memories that seemed to fade more and more everyday. Even as a Hyuuga, who were normally accustomed to having a very distant demeanor, it took a heavy toll, and this toll was certainly even heavier on a younger boy who wasn't accustomed to such standards.

Finally centering his thoughts, the mother opened the door. She greeted her children, asking them what had happened during the short amount of time she was gone. They explained what occurred, each seeming very pleased with Omo. This made him happy, a tiny little butterfly fluttering about in his guy.

Then finally he heard the magic words.

His mission was complete, and bowed respectfully to the elder kunoichi, thanking her for the opportunity. He offered each of the kids a hearty handshake, knowing in his heart and mind that all 3 of them would grow up to be strong ninja, and great men like their father.

With his business finished, Omo began his walk back to the village, a very faint smile on his face. Just the first of many to come.
