Mission Taken - Ninja UPS!:

Just as Hikari was beginning to head home, her pockets already filled with more Ryo than she had ever held at any given point in her life, she picked up the quick shuffle of feet headed in her direction. Figuring that someone wanted her attention she paused and tilted her head, waiting to hear a voice to go along with the movement. "Hello?"

"Hikari, dear. I saw you delivering mail earlier. Do you think you could help me out too? I have a very important package that needs taken to Hiro. The package is very breakable, so I don't want to trust it to just anyone. He needs it right away and I'm busy minding my cart since my wife has taken ill. Could you please deliver it for me? I'll have a nice little bit of Ryo for your trouble when you get back."

Hikari couldn't turn the elderly man down of course; he had been so nice each time she had visited the market, especially at first when she had been so lost due to her blindness. "Of course, Hoshi. No problem at all." She held her arms out and felt him place the package into them; she could tell by the weight that it was rather heavy, and given it was fragile like he said she assumed it was made out of glass, or maybe even crystal - or some other precious material. "I'll deliver this as quick as I can."

"Thank you child, thank you very much!"

Hikari started down the street, paying special attention to Shinsai so that she didn't bump into someone accidentally as she went, or trip and fall. She knew where Hiro lived; and it wasn't far from the market at all. So, the trip wasn't going to be a very long one. She moved around people and obstacles, taking her time to walk carefully and slowly. She reached the end of the market district and entered into the housing one. She walked about five houses down and turned to her right. She walked up the path, and to the door.

She shifted the package carefully and then knocked with her free hand. Once she was finished knocking she placed the package back into both hands. She could feel the vibrations of foot falls on the other side and then heard the door open. The scent that reached her nose was of white roses and she smiled: this was Hiro. "Hello Hiro. Mr. Hoshi asked me to deliver a package to you: he told me to be careful as it was very fragile and so I was."

She felt the package get lifted up out of her arms. "Thank you child, thank you very much. It's a gift for my daughter, she's getting married. I hope Mr. Hoshi is paying you for your troubles. I must hurry now, good bye dear." With that Hiro closed the door. Hikari turned and headed back down the path and then down the street, returning to Hoshi's cart for payment.
