Mission #1

Sigh. . . Aroma was not much of a customer service freak. But at least the mission was based on animals instead of people. Her job was to retrieve some strays that might be wandering the streets of kumogakure and take them to the local pound. Lame. . . pounds was so lame. Aroma despised how pounds could be. it was common for animals to he neglected as they are locked behind the bars of cramped cages. Not something that would seem appealing to an animal lover. Hopefully this village's pound was alot more in check and didn't torment the innocent souls of fluff.The lavender haired kunoichi took her time as she ventured through the streets. Of course most strays would be smart enough to hide themselves from any random stranger. So she didn't get to find any right off the bat. "So much for that. ."

The genin woman found her way to a food stand. The smell of roasted meats wavered through the air. Attempting to lure any hungry victims. Aroma approached the food stand as her violet hues scanned over the menu. Curiously reading the scripted recipes that was displayed for the customers. The woman then finally handed over a few coins of ryo as she spoke the choice of food she had made. Within five minutes of standing there, waiting for her order. The food stand cook would return with some sort of kabob. A stick plunged into some sort of roasted rat looking thing. Aroma would take the stick kabob thingy while looking at it wearily. It was supposed to be some sort of roasted squirrel on a stick. "Looks like a rat to me, but it will do." She spoke to herself while making her way towards one of Kumogakure's back allies.

It was a known fact that most strays stereotypically hid out in the dark little spaces of allies. So this was where she sas gunna attempt her little plan. Aroma chose a specific spot. An area where some garbage cans would be stored.  No doubt this is was popular feasting area for strays. She lowered herself towards the ground. Crouching down against her heels as she held the squirrel kabob in front of her. Her eyes watching it with suspicion. For a brief moment the woman would sniff the roasted meat. The fact it looked like a dead roasted rat made it seem very unappealing to her. No worries. . it wasn't for her anyways. But she would now know in the future that if she ever was curious about squirrel meat, kabobs was not that way to go.

Aroma began to delicately tear at the meat from the kabob and place it into a pile amongst the ground. Picking the bones clean and creating a nice meal for the strays she was hoping to lure. She had it in her mind that the fragrance of the warm cooked meat would be bound to drawing out some hungry little fuzz creatures. After finishing the little lure trap that she was making, Aroma would stand from her stop and sit outside from the alley. Hiding her body against the corner of the building that the alley entered behind. Her violet eyes watching for the strays she hoped to find.

Fifteen minutes passed and the kunoichi began to worry. Maybe the strays could smell her scent on the meat that laid like a simple buffet for them. Or maybe the only thing she'll attract is some disgusting rats. The day was spending as the sun started to steep from the sky. The blue sky began to shift into colors of orange and red. This was the faults of starting a mission so late. What a drag. Aroma continued to wait in her position a little longer. But she was about to give up and assume that there would be no strays coming out today. Five more minutes dragged on. . . and there. Finally something poked it's little head from behind from the clutter mess of boxes and trash. The little head pause to sniff the air, checking to see if the pile that laid before it was indeed food. Then out strutted the body of a matted puppy. It's eyes seemed to be hidden by a flap of skin, looking like a clumsy puppy that still had a long ways to grow into it's skin.

The puppy finally sat down in front of the pile of roasted squirrel meat, before plopping it's lazy head into the feast. Munching onto the food that was displayed before it. Not even five seconds later, a kitten joined the feasting pup. It's body was merely a little ball of orange fluff. Aroma instantly fell in love. She slowly made her way towards the distracted strays. Her footwork was perfect and quiet as Aroma drew closer. Their snouts was too busy buried within the meat to even notice her. Then she reached down and grabbed the startled animals. There was a sudden Yelp from the puppy as it got spooked from being gathered within her arms. The kitten on the other hand was calm as ever. Even started purring as it laid within her arms.

Aroma tilted her head in curiosity. Maybe it wouldn't hurt. . . The kunoichi could tell that she was about to make an impulsive decision. Aroma finished her mission by making her way towards the pound. She gave the puppy up into the hands of it's new life. Hoping that it would be taken good care and not neglected. Maybe even get excepted into the warms of a new welcoming family. To never feel abandoned again. The kitten on the other hand, she took home with her. Claiming the little fuzz ball as her own for now on. It was just too adorable to hand over. Plus she had an intense love for cats. Aroma made the decision to name him Sebastian as she carried him home within her arms. Listening and adoring his precious little purrs that vibrated from the tiny little body. |End|

Mission #2

This was definitely not her cup of tea. Anything but this please. Anything but being in a hospital full of children.  Why would all of the E rank missions have to call for customer service. She could feel the twitching of her eyebrow as she stood there within the white room. The smell of the hospital was uncomfortable. The job she had only added on to be unfortunate. Aroma was a twenty year old genin, standig within a room of hospitalized children. Where she was meant to make them all happy and smiley, while herself wasn't much of a kid person. Let alone a people person in general.

The genin was dressed in a black tight dress that hugged her lovely curves. Not really the proper attire to be wearing whole in a room full of kids. Before coming here, the poor genin had to spend about thirty minutes trying to figure out how she was supposed to complete this mission. Her humor was dry when it came to young children. So she finally came up with a solution.

"I'm sorry Sebastian. It'll only be for a second. ." Aroma whispered down to the poor little kitten that was held within her arms. The orange fluff responded with a fit of purrs, while he licked her hand woth a soothing yet rough tongue. She had previously taken the cat in after completing one of her first missions. He was nothing special for ninja wise. Just a simple house cat that she had adopted from an old back alley.

Of course as she stood within the room with Sebastian within her arms. All kid eyes turned towards her. Their googly hues grew even wider, how was that even possible. "Kitty!!" She heard one of the children yelled out. She was shocked by the sickly little thing having the ability to speak so loudly. Aroma approached the horde of kids with caution. Acting as if they may attack her of some sorts. She was recently told that some of the children possessed any extremely contagious sickness for her to be worried about. But she could only imagine the boogey hands that they had, and slobbery jaws. She gave her poor orange kitten one last glance, as if apologizing for what she was about to do. Then handed her kitten off to his room.

It was almost instant. Tons of squirmy little hands burrowed into Sebastian's fluffy body. Petting him and grasping at his fur. Luckily the children has the audacity to be gentle about it. From ear to ear the children grinned. Laughing and smiling with joy as they petted the adorable kitty. Aroma allowed ten minutes of this before she decides to finally retrieve her cat within her arms. She could tell that her kitten was confused by the events that had just happened. She could only imagine how it would feel to have so many tiny hands pettig your body. With that her mission would be completed, and she was able to finally leave the hospital. |End|

Mission #3

Aroma was a woman who enjoyed spending time, tending to her herbs and plants. She was definitely a person with a green thumb. A mission that asked for someone to assist attending to their garden was just right up her alley. The lavender haired woman happily took the mission after visiting the mission board. She was given specific details on what they wanted her to do, and what to watch out for. It's no surprise someone would be a little weary, allowing a stranger to attend to their plants. It would be a disaster if someone was to mess up. Leading to the ruins of perfectly amazing crops. Not something you can just get back right away. Attending to a garden required alot of patience, time, and work. Along with a gentle hand.

The kunoichi ventured her way to the garden plot that she was assigned to. She wore normal clothing for this job, since she was going to be digging into dirt and be on her hands and knees. Not something you'd want to be doing in your favorite dress. Around her head would also be black bindings, which was sheer enough for her to see through with it being so close to her eyes, yet it also hid away her frightening snake eyes. The garden she was assigned to was definitely lovely. The owner had taken the time to male sure each individual type of crop was boxed off by wood. This helped sectioned them off, and gove it a nice modern look to the garden.

Along the rows of the right side would be tomatoes, peppers of both shades of green and red, squash, and cucumbers. To the left in a more spaced out column was a few fruits. This resulted to strawberries and melons, which vines out in their little territory. Aroma was amazed by all the variety and beautiful colors. All just from a simple plant. Now of was time for her to begin her job. First the female put on some gloves to protect her soft hands from any barbs or thorns that some weeds may possess along their shrively spines. Then she knelt down to the corner where she was to begin her work, and started combing through the plants. Pulling out any weeds she could find from their roots, and discarding them into a bad to be thrown out later. Weeds was like leeches. They literally bombard their way into the space that was already taken by a precious plant, and did their best to hog all the nutrients. The weeds could get so bad, to the point where they would eventually start choking out the main crop. Then the crop would eventually wither away and die from the lack of minerals it needed, and the weeds would thrive on and feast on it's corpse next.

So all and all, it was obvious that weeds was a menace. And they just had to go. Aroma did her best to spot out all the weeds that she could, to strangle them from their dirted spot and discard them into the bad of their other pals bodies. Fortunately for her, the owner of this garden knew how to properly raise her plants, and take care of them. She could tell that the lady did a good job tending to her own garden. She just needed a little help every now and then, Aroma figured. It didn't take long for her to finish the weeding of the crops. Now there was a few more steps to take before she was completely finished.

The next step on the mission agenda, was to water the plants. Luckily the garden owner knew what's up, and had a sprinkler that hooked up to a hose hydrant. Sprinkles was a delicate way to water plants, and plants needed to be delicate with. Their stemy selfs was very fragile, and they could easily break under too much pressure. Aroma set the sprinkles out properly and connected then to the hose hydrant, before turning it on. Now the sprinkles gave off a lovely spray of clean water over the thirsty little crops. The water gave both the thriving vegetables and fruit, a nice layer of glistening wetness. Just for the plants to drink up. The sprinklers was only to be left on for a certain amount of time, to avoid overwatering and drowning the plants.

While waiting on the time for the sprinklers to be turned off, she moved on to the next and last step of the mission and garden care. Aroma withdrew a little box. This was given to her from the mission board, for it was something that the owner did often for her garden. The lavender haired woman carefully set the small box within the middle of the garden. Now there was a nice spray amongst the plants, and she went ahead and turned off the sprinklers before continuing to the last stop. After the sprinklers was turned off, Aroma returned to the box. She flipped over the lid to open the box. Within the box was a few dozen of lady bugs squirming inside. Aroma wasn't much of a fan of bugs, let alone lady bugs, but she understood why this was a benefit. Lady bugs was a natural pest control for gardens, and it was beneficial to have them around your garden. As long as you make sure to water the plants first, the lady bugs would stick around for a good time. The water that dewed up amongst the surface of the crops and leaves, gave the lady bugs something to drink as the adventure around the crops. Their presence may be annoying at the most, but the benefit of the natural pest control was too good to just pass up. Plus they did look pretty from a distance. As long as they wasn't all flying into your face or your hair, or even clothes.

Now that would be the last job for the mission. Now it was safe to say that the mission objective was ready to be turned in, and Aroma could now collect her reward for taking on this mission. She gathered up the stuff that needed to be discarded, and also replaced the sprinklers in it's usual location. Then she returned to the mission board to turn in her mission. As thanks for her gratitude and hard work, and her lovely passion for plants, the owner of the garden offered her a treat of a few strawberries that she had grown. The fruit was a beautiful shade of crimson, and definitely plump. Aroma happily accepted the offer and bit into the juicy plump fruit. Savoring it's sweet and sour flavor all in one. |End|
