Team Moegi
Inojin's P.O.V
"Here! We're here!".
Chocho waved. "Hello". "Good, now that you're all here, let's go on," Moegi Sensei said. "Where do we actually nees to reparate things?," Shikadai asked. "All sort of places". "Bear hunting sounds SO much better... for real". "It isn't us and neither Moegi Sensei who chose it. It was decided by principal Iruka Sensei," Shikadai said. "I secretly read it and there stood that we're too soft to kill a bear. Honestly I would beat it nonetheless". We laughed. Even Moegi Sensei joined the fun. "Alright, let's go. The first place is somewhere in the village". "Alright!".
"We're going on a trip in our favorite rocket ship! Drive me through the sky, Little Einsteins!".
We kept singing like little children. "Are we almost there? I can't keep up with these two," Chubs said and we laughed. "It's here," Moegi Sensei said and pointed to a door before us. "We're not going to knock!," we said in harmony and Moegi Sensei sighed. "Scaredy cats...".
After some moments, we were done with reparing the sink of a villager. "Thank you! I have something for you, kids". He took some steamed buns that were freshly baked, wrapped it up and gave it to us. "Thank you!". "Give it to Moegi Sensei. I know you're going to eat it, Chubs," I said. "Is that an insult?," Chubs asked and tilted her head. "No. I didn't mean to hurt you, but it's the truth," I said. "The truth hurts...".
Shikadai shrugged his shoulders. "Let's go! Moegi Sensei, where do we need to go?".

The day was finally over. We have earned quite some money and even food, and we were now eating everything we got.
"I wonder why the steamed buns are still warm after all day walking and reparing," Shikadai said. "I wonder too. Now open your mouth, Shikadai," I said. "What?!". "Say 'aahh'". "Aahh...". I put a steamed bun in his mouth but Shikadai didn't let the chopsticks go. "Why are you doing that? Now your bacteria is all over it". We laughed. Shikadai then did the same to me.
"Thank you very much, Team 10," Moegi Sensei said and bowed. "You really did a good job out there". "That is no problem! We needed to do it, after all," Shikadai said. "And I'm tired, so I guess I see you tomorrow at school! Until tomorrow!". Chubs waved at us and left in the distance. "Hey, Moegi Sensei...". Shikadai looked at me when I spoke. "Don't say you want to go to school again". "No, that's not it," I said. "You can have this, Moegi Sensei". I gave her a box with sweets in it. "It's alright, Inojin, but you didn't need to do it". "I don't want it and neither Shikadai but since Chocho is already away, I give this to you. We don't like sweets at all". Moegi Sensei smiled. "Thank you". "Well, I guess we will see you tomorrow at school! Good night!". Shikadai and I both went our own ways. I looked behind me and saw him disappearing. It is nice having people who care about you so much. I somehow want to pick up my paintbrush again... it's inspirational. But my home is far away from where I currently am and then it's already time to sleep, so I guess I can't draw and paint until tomorrow. And I don't need to take over the flower shop of my mother ever since that incident happened. I'm very glad. I sighed and a cloud drifted away.
"Alright...".
I looked up at the sky. It's so beautiful. Don't you just love to gaze at a full moon? I do, but I guess it'll be on another day, because it's still early in the evening. I wonder how the others are doing with their missions. Bear hunting... I hope they didn't get hurt. Team 5 has no mission right now... but what are they doing right now? Being a florist is something my mother would totally like! I guess one of them got stung by the sharp sides of a rose, because they can't be careful for once.
"Ah, yes! We needed to report the mission... I guess Moegi Sensei will do that since she has the report card...".
When I reached home I put my key in the keyhole. "Mother! Father! I'm home!". No answer... "Hey!". Still no answer. "What are you doing that you don't reply?!". "Who's there?!". "Inojin. Inojin Yamanaka," I said.
"Oh sweety, you're home!".
My mother came downstairs and gave me a hug. "Where were you all this time? It's late". "It was a mission for school. I needed to repair on different locations and at the end, we got sweets and a lot of money," I explained. "I told you that you shouldn't take money and sweets from strangers," my mother said and I looked at her with a straight face. "Then what is Halloween?," I asked. "You just got... I'll stay quiet". I immediately went to my room.
"You just got roasted...," I whispered to myself and giggled. Damn, I'm so funny. The face of my mother would be priceless, but I would end up having a lot of open scratches, bruises and other things and trust me, my parents really know how to hurt someone. Unlike me, because I'm their flower prince and I'm so flawless!
After a moment I went downstairs. "Do you still want to have dinner?," my father asked and started washing his hands before I could reply. "No. I'm not hungry at the moment," I answered. "What were you doing that you suddenly wash your hands?". "Having dinner, of course. That must be obvious," my father said and concentrated on his hands again. "Oh, I see! You painted without me, that is very nice of you," I said. "But nevermind. I'll start with mine tomorrow after school, I guess".
But my parents... you know, they are full of mysteries and all the unknown of the unknown.
