Mission:

Back to the Mission Board for another task. “Third time today, you're on a roll huh?” said the Shinobi who was always there to Kurai. He nodded his head. There was a personal mission he had to complete – especially with the scroll he found in his last task that just fuelled his desire to get stronger.

The next task that Kurai took on was one he'd done already. Bodyguard detail for the child of a rich family. Little Miss Hai was her name. Apparently someone really wanted this girl badly, or to send a message to her people. Kurai was prepared to let them know once again that messing with this family was a bad idea.

Little Miss Hai seemed thrilled that it was Kurai that was watching over her again, whereas she and her girlfriends teased and made fun of him the last time because he didn't look like much. It wasn't the case this time, in fact it was the exact opposite. The entire trip from her house to the school, Hai and her friends send a non-stop barrage of flirtations and compliments at him, all of which he didn't really respond to.

It was another ordinary day in school. Kurai sort of wished he could have attended regular school, but was glad his mother home schooled he and his twin. Kurai saw himself getting into many fights had he attended a regular school. Kurai followed her from class to class, sometimes catching glimpses of she and her friends giving him the eye. He didn't mind, but he didn't respond.

Little Miss Hai had all but resorted to throwing herself at him all day, all getting little to no response from Kurai. Once again, it was after school and on the way home that Kurai noticed an ambush in waiting, and it looked to be the very same individual from last time. ”Hai... go in the house,” Kurai finally said, which produced a girlish reaction from her and her friends, since this was his first time really speaking to her. ”...Seriously. These guys are about to try grabbing you again. Go in the house...”

Kurai quickly formed hand signs and exhaled a tremendous fireball, causing the kidnapper lying in wait to jump out of his hiding place. Hai and her friends watched in amazement as they ran up the front walk to her house. “You again!” said the kidnapper, taking a fighting stance with Kunai knives in either hand. “How the hell did you know I was... nevermind, it doesn't matter! This time you're going do--”

He was interrupted by a Mossberg 500 kick that met his chest, knocking the wind from his lungs. He was thrown backwards off of his feet to roll twice and lie there. Kurai could have ended the fight there, but waited until the stun wore off to beat on him some more. The kidnapper eventually gathered himself and rose to fight again, creating 3 other clones to fight with him. Two took Kurai on hand-to-hand, while the other 2 hung back to cast water jutsu at him. With clever maneuvers, Kurai cause the 2 clones to spray and destroy each other, producing another girlish squeal from Little Miss Hai and her friends. The last clone was knocked off of his feet with Gale, slamming onto it's head and vanishing.

The actual kidnapper was kicked in the leg, the stomach, and then the jaw, sending him airborne in a daze, just to be forcefully sent back to the ground harshly upon his face after a heel drop. A successful Great Whirlwind attack. The kidnapper didn't get back up afterwards, and Kurai could hear Hai and her friends clapping and cheering. He turned to wave to them as village Shinobi arrived to arrest the kidnapper, then left himself...
