《Behind Closed Doors》Old People and Swords

"100? I'm not as patient as you all think I am."
"Nobody ever said you were patient." Sasuke just had to speak up.
"You haven't said a word this entire time and the first thing you have to say to me is an insult? I'll remember that."
He just shrugged. Kids these days so rude, and honestly I'm sick of it. I glared at him and turned back to Kakashi.
"Uhh, by the way, I'm not sitting through 100 of those missions. I heard that other teams were getting babysitting. I do not, let me repeat, do not associate with babies."
"You were a baby once to Naruko," Sakura interjected.
"Yeah and I hated myself then too."
She just sputtered like usual, and Kakashi ignored my earlier statement completely.
"Everyone goes home for today, we will get our next mission tomorrow and probably start doing more than once a day."
We all groaned and I rushed off as soon as possible. I think there was a rat under my steps this morning and I wasn't about to have a rat problem in my apartment. They were cute but I cannot share food.
As I walked in the door to my apartment I saw it. The rat, except it wasn't a rat.
News fucking flash it was a fat ass spider that looked about as big as Kurama and crawled around with the same amount confidence as Ino and Sakura.
What the fuck.
"Leave my house- leave my house! What the- holy shit- how did you get in! I'll call the fucking police. I'll call them I swear to the lord all mighty I will reign down on your people with so much anger you'll shake in fear," the spider made a move towards me.

"IM SORRY PLEASE LEAVE-"
Ended up having to ask Kurama for help to get rid of it but now it's gone. I think that was one of the scariest moment in many peoples lives including my own.
"This is the calmest you've been in the many years I've been alive, this makes me emotional I need a moment."
"I've got goosebumps, telling a lie on a live broadcast."
"I'm just hurt that you'd lie. It's obvious that compared to Sakura and Ino my lips plump as fuck. Leave me alone."
I walked to a small weapon shop not far from my apartment.
They charged more, but they didn't seem to really hold a grudge on me.
Honestly I think they just charge more because of better quality, but all these hate crimes against me got me paranoid.
I had saved up quite a bit of money and could buy many shuriken and kunai. I didn't need too many new ones, but I was excited to buy one thing I'd been waiting for.
I had custom ordered a sword that was honestly about to become my pride and joy. This thing was practically, literally was, worth my entire life. It had taken me years. Actual years to save up for this and I was never going to get over it.
It was a hand forged high carbon steel blade with a tungsten edge full tang katana. Long description for just the blade, but a gorgeous sword in my opinion.
The blade was black steel with the tungsten edge. Flames of tungsten worked into the black steel to create beautiful art on the blade itself. It was only somewhat curved, being mostly a straight edged blade.
The black rain-guard was somewhat larger than most other swords had was carved with the face of a traditional Japanese dragon.

The entire hilt was an easily gripped matte black with light texture that felt nice on the hands, the pommel turning into the carved face of the same snarling dragon as before only this time turned to its side.
The scabbard was a simple weaved one, but it complimented nicely with the fancy hilt and textured grip.
The entire thing being the dark black with a simple red gem in the hilt.
To say I was obsessed was an understatement.
Maybe it was weird to love a sword so much, but all I really gotta say is. When did I ever give a single fuck.
'Sometimes you gotta be the person you've tried so hard to suppress.' I'm so inspiring this is insane. Write this shit down.
I could almost smell the face Kurama was making.
Anyway I booked it home and tucked my sword into bed, sleeping my best that night.

Today was the day. The day I either spit or get spat on. Uhm.
By that I mean, I'm gonna yell at that old man until he gives in and assigns my team a c rank, or fucking smacks me upside the head.
I met the rest of this crummy team outside the Hokage tower. They all looked relatively upset because Kakashi had joked about getting us a babysitting mission.
I say joked, because I will convince this old fucker no matter what.
We walked in and at first I was gonna be respectful... I really was going to be! But then I realized. I don't care pfft.
"Gramps! You know damn well what I'm here to talk about!"
He sighed but smiled at me nonetheless. I just shot him back with a smirk.
"Naruko! That's no way to talk to the Hokage!" Sakura basically cried.
I think I'm getting better at ignoring her, because it only sounds like a small fly now.
"So you gonna give us a C-rank or what, you old motherf-"
Kakashis hand made his way to my mouth. Complaining about how he's "gonna get in so much trouble" that really sucks for him am I right.
"Alright I'll give you a C-rank."
Everyone collectively gave their own signs of shock. Even me, I wasn't expecting him to give in so easily. Even if I was one hell of a convincing person.
"What are you planning, you backstabbing piece of sh-"
"You'll be an escort."
"Ya'll love to cut me off."
"Who are we escorting?" Sakura's voice rang out.
"You'll meet him."
"I swear to kami"

Into the Feywild
I've never considered myself to be much of a fighter. In fact, I had no notion what it was all about. I couldn't envision a war amongst people, especially my own. In this odd realm, a timid half-elf has little chance of success. Especially with minimal experience. I've only fought as a means of survival, self-defense, if you will. I had known only humans, so the concept of elven culture and family was foreign to me. And yet, here I am, in the midst of a tremendous battle between two Feys and a God. I never planned for things to turn out this way, or for me to get caught in the great shambles of war—a conflict between good and evil. My two companions are practically strangers to me, knowing nothing but my name. This journey was not something I had planned or wished for, but it was what the Gods gave me.◈ ◈ ◈Meli, a young half-elf traveling the Material Plane, is unexpectedly captured while on her travels, only to become a member of an odd group of individuals. Crane, an older wizard castaway from his college for practicing unnatural magic, and Kurky, a youthful and lively gnome who is as fascinating as they come. Meli's curiosity gets the better of her as she chooses to accompany them on their not so concrete journey into the Feywild. Little did they know of the constant war raging within this woodsy plane. Maybe Meli will discover everything she's been looking for, embracing love and pleasure along the way. Or perhaps she'll become a part of something bigger. © Copyright to EmmeMeadows 2021
