Swimming with Sharks

Miz was fast asleep listening to the sound of rain on his bedroom window. It wasn't normal for Miz to be a heavy sleeper, but maybe it was all the damn training and missions he had been doing
Causing him to be a heavy sleeper. Apparently Taki had been knocking on his door and he hadn't heard it. However he heard a voice and woke up to his brother Taki tapping his arm!
“Bro you good? You didn't answer when I was knocking on the door.” Taki said as he stepped back to let Miz get up.
“I guess I was more exhausted than I thought I was…what's up why are you in my room waking me up Taki?” Miz asked, sitting up and putting his shirt on.
“Your presence is requested at the training facility. Doesn't say by who but apparently it's someone.” Taki said, handing him the letter.
“Alright, I'll get up and go.” Miz said, standing up to get ready. Taki turned around and opened his door to leave instead of turning into a puddle. As soon as he finished getting ready, he stepped into the hallway. It was still fairly early, maybe 6:30 a.m. at the latest. As usual he heard the voices of the Jounin brothers. It seems as though Zeb was back in the mix! He had kinda missed hearing Zeb Naras voice! As he walked by he noticed the hot headed Terumi known as Jeordie with his back to the door. Smiling a very coy smile, Miz created a ball of water the size of a soccer ball in his hand and threw it in the room toward Jeordie! Somehow, all four turned right as it was launched at him! Smiling Taki caught the ball and turned it around and aimed it back at Miz, who dodged as it hit the wall!
“Quit playing, go! Shit! damn!” Taki said laughing. They were all four smiling and laughing. Even Jeordie.
“Later Jounin Brothers!” Miz said as he walked down the stairs.
“I just caught the reference…” he heard Jeordie say. “At least my nickname ain't puddles he heard Taki say as he slammed the door shut. Mission Accomplished! That's what he gets for interrupting his peaceful sleep.
Miz headed to the training facility in the rain. It had been a rather rainy week in Kirigakure. As he arrived he stepped into the facility wondering who requested him.
He had his dreadlocked hair pulled up in a ponytail to keep it out of his face so he could see no one was there. Maybe he was early.

Kurai was downstairs talking to his mom when his dad Kiken came through the door. He had been across the street at Taki and Miz's house and was handed a message to give to Kurai as well.
“What do we do with a drunken sailor?” His dad was singing as he walked into the kitchen! Kurai sighed as his mom laughed!
“Oh hey son, how are you?” Kiken asked, pretending he had no idea Kurai was downstairs despite the fact he saw him the moment he walked into the house! He handed a letter to Kurai.
“Dad…how are you?” Kurai said sarcastically as he took the letter. Kurai's mom apologized as she touched Kurai's arm and tried to stop laughing. She playfully slapped Kiken and told him to stop being a jerk!
“I have to go, I'll be back later!” Kurai said, shaking his head as he headed towards the door.
“Threats will get you nowhere!” Kiken said jokingly as Karina laughed yet again.
“So many words for such an old man whose nothing more than a mere…Jounin?” Kurai fired back. This time his mom was laughing so hard she could barely breathe and Kiken shot a look that could kill, at Kurai with somewhat of a smile.
“I'll show you old man! You wait …” He fired back. Yet Kurai still smiled as he looked back at his dad as he stepped out the door.
“I'm waiting…fight me!” Kurai said as he shut the door. He heard his mom saying ‘Not now, Not now!’
“Kurai -1, Kiken -0!” Kurai murmured as he headed towards the Training Facility! He saw Miz was there as well.
Now, he has quit calling him puddles a while back realizing that his mouth was getting him into trouble.
“Sup Miz!” Kurai said walking into the training area. “Looks Like we were both asked to come here!” Kurai said.
