The Run Around [D rank Mission]

[Hayashida Hanzo]

Hanzo let out a stretch and a yawn as he grabbed his track jacket from it's rack and started out the door. He gave a quick wave to his mom as he passed her on his way out knowing his he had stopped she'd probably drill him on breakfast, and other pointless things. He didn't really have the time for that so a quick getaway was the best kind for him right now. He had to head over to the restaurant that he would be helping out today for the mission he had taken on. He didn't think it would be to much trouble just a simple task of being a delivery boy. What's the worse that could happen with something like that.

Hanzo had to get a move on since he was starting to run a bit late now. He figured the best was would be to take the high road so to speak and he quickly ran at the nearby wall leaping off of it and jumping onto the roof that was there. He looked around at the village below him taking it in for a moment then shook his head to focus himself again. He started to run along the rooftops making his way to the restaurant leaping over a gap between to building. He skipped to a stop once he landed on the next build blinking a bit not believing what he saw.

Down below him there was a massive number of people all around one building waiting talking some even pushing to try and make their way toward the front. This couldn't be, his lucky couldn't be that bad he thought to himself as he looked at all the people. He continued forward slower now looking at all the people before he was finally on top of another building that was across from the restaurant, the same one that he would be working out today. It was just his luck that this busy place was his mission, he shook it off no point i complaining about it.

He looked around for a way to get through the massive crowd, but he didn't see a way that wouldn't start an argument with all the people waiting out front. He leaped forward onto a roof pass the place and started to look around. That was where he saw it a back door that must have been for employees only. He jumped down and knocked on that door not sure if anyone would open it. He waited a moment and finally someone did "Umm I'm here-" He never got to finish before he was pulled inside and brought to the manager.

"You, you are late and we are very busy as you can see. No time for late employees no go and get to work, since we are under staffed today I'll let it go, don't let it happen again." Hanzo stared at the man rather confused he muse have thought him someone else. "Umm..sir I don't usually work him...I'm the replacement delivery boy for today. I just got here and was wondering where to go to start." The man sighed and turned to Hanzo looking him over then waved his hand at him. "Fine, go see Janet she will give you to deliveries be sure to get them all done."

With that the man walked off and left Hanzo alone feeling rather confused. He turned around and headed to the back where most of the staff were running his fingers through his hair as he said "Umm..I'm looking for Janet, she is suppose to give me my deliveries for the day?" Hanzo felt a bit like a fool not even sure if Janet was among the group of busy people.

For a moment Hanzo just stood there watching as the other employees moved back and forth pretty much ignoring him. Some gave him a look and others brushed by him. he was started to feel like a kid that was in the way, and it didn't help that no one had bothered to answer his question about the Janet person that was suppose to tell him about his deliveries. To think he had figured that this would be a rather simple job just get here grab the orders, deliver them and head home. That was nothing but wishful thinking on his part. He sighed and started to turned around when he almost bumped into a lady that was coming his way.

He quickly back stepped to avoid the collision and blinked up at the lady starting in front of him. She looked him over and gave him a quick smile "Don't you worry about these sticks in the mud they are all just worried about getting on the managers bad side since we are so busy today as you can see. Now I hear you are looking for me, you our new delivery boy for the day." She started to walked then stopping only for a second and turning to him "Well come on now don't just stand there lots of work to be done." Hanzo hurried after her and didn't bother to argue or ask where they were going.

She stopped in another room that was right next to the kitchen and turned to him and started to hands him a few papers. She sat on the edge of a desk looking around for something. "Those are a list of the orders and the addresses that you will be delivering them too. Some of the orders are big once so be careful with those orders, we are way to busy to have to remake any of them. I'm sure you can do i, now if you head into the kitchen you can pick up the orders, take as many trips as you need to and when you are all don't come back and see me in here."

With that she waved him off into the kitchen and started to pick up the phones talking rapidly. Hanzo turned around looking at the paper that he had been given as he went into the kitchen. There were a lot of people around working cooking grabbing orders to take out to the customers in front. Hanzo moved along the place trying to avoid running into anyone when he finally found the delivery orders that were taking of him. It seemed that there were four of them, two smaller bags and two really large ones that looked rather heavy. he let out a sigh.

"Well time to get to work now, might as well start with the lighter ones." He grabbed the two smaller bags and looking around at the busy people in the kitchen, no one bothered to say anything to him but he did catch Janet walking through and gave him a quick nod and wave off still on the phone. Hanzo didn't say anything just headed out the back door to start his deliveries. He held on tight to the bags then once again hopped onto the closet roof. He looked down and could still see a bunch of people waiting.

"Time to get moving, the first stop isn't to far from here it seems, now lets do this." Hanzo was actually ready now that he had the items and something to do. He checked the addresses once more time then took of in the direction of the first person he was to deliver too.

Hanzo held a bag in each hand as he moved swiftly over the rooftops to the first location that he was suppose to deliver too. He stopped once or twice to make sure that he was going the right way before continuing his run jumping down when his path had no more buildings for him to jump along and he make his way to the ground. He continued running along the streets waving at some of the people he knew as he went by "Sorry can't talk right now, I'm on a job have to keep going." He waved at them best he could with the bags in his hand and continued running to the first location.

He was coming up close to the target turning around the corner and spotting the place. he slowed down catching his breath as he started toward the door of the building he was making the delivery too. He knocked on the door "Hello, delivery from Chou's restaurant we have your order." For a moment Hanzo didn't hear anything and he was starting to think that he had the wrong place. Then after a bit someone opened the door, a large and pretty hairy looking guy glared at him "Umm...order for you sir, for Chou's."[/colo] The guy looked him over intensely them let out a huge grin his voice a lot higher than Hanzo would have though for a man his size.

"You are finally here, it feels like I have been waiting forever for my order. I just can't get enough of the stuff and I never seem to have the time to get it myself. But you aren't the usual delivery boy that usually comes you are far cuter than he was." That made Hanzo take in a breath, he just wanted to give the guy his food and move on to the next customer. "Here you are sir your order, that will be 1,540 ryo." The man nodded to him and handed him the cash telling him to keep the change "You make sure to come back again, glad to see the shop has gotten such a cute delivery boy."

Hanzo was already starting to leave before the man finished his sentence shivering slightly. There really were all kinds pf people out there, he thought to himself as he took of for his next delivery. He had to pick up his pace he still had the large orders waiting for him. He was lucky however that the next order wasn't the far from the first and after taking a few back alleys and spinning for avoid a person or two he reached the next location. He knocked on door and once again called out "Hello, Chou's restaurant we have a delivery for you." He looked around waiting for someone to answer the door like last time however this time he heard a voice call to him. he blinked looking around "Hello...up here, do you mind bring it up, moving his a bit of a problem for me right now."

Hanzo wasn't sure what the lady he saw hanging out the window meant but that but it was a good way to put his ninja skills to work. He looked around then nodded to himself stepping back and running up a nearby wall, hopping off of it and making it to a balcony near the ladies window. he walked over it to the lady handing her her order. "I'm sorry about the trouble but it's hard to move around in my condition, however I just can't seem to get enough of this food. The baby really likes it." From where Hanzo was he could see that the lady had a belly and was pregnant which explained her issues moving. He smiled and said "Not a problem ma'am, I hope you enjoy the food and look forward to your continued business."

With that Hanzo collected his payment and jumped down running back to the restaurant to pick up the other two orders. It didn't take as long for him to get back since he didn't have to carry anything and could remember the route that had gotten him there. Once back he entered through the back door once more, looking at the last two orders. He debated trying to take them both at the same time, when Janet back walking back through the kitchen. She must have been reading his mind because she said "Make sure to be careful with those order, the hare to some very important and valuable customers of ours."

She walked off again them and Hanzo knew that he should risk taking both the orders at the same him. He grabbed one of them making sure that the delivery bag was secure before heading out again to this next delivery. He checked the paper that Janet had given him for the orders. It seemed that this place wasn't all that far away but it was in a busy part of the village. Hanzo ran alone the rooftops for as long as he could putting his speed to good use. He jumped down in one of the nearby alleyways and started to make his way to the main street. That was when he heard it, the should a a lot and fierce growl. he shook his head "This can't be happening now now of all times." He turned to see a stray dog glaring at him it's muzzle drawn back growling at him. It must have smelled the food that Hanzo was carrying and wanted it.

Hanzo sized the dog up and then took off at full speed heading out of the alleyway into the main street. The dog was right behind him however and he called out excuse mes to the few people that he bumped along the road as he ran from the dog to the location. He saw the bridge not to far away and knew the delivery was right over it. He pushed his speed and hopped up onto the bridge railing. He saw the dog still following as he started across it trying to keep his balance. The dog made a leap at him just what Hanzo wanted and had dodge it leaping onto the bridge as the dog when over into the river below. "Sorry" he called as he kept running glad to have all of the food as he came to the next location.

He was breathing heavy as he knocked on the door of the large building and said "He-llo delivery...from Chou's" It took a moment but a woman came out and opened the door looking at him with a smile. "It seems you've had a tough time, but you made it." She took the food from him and paid him giving him a nice tip. "Good luck now kid, don't let them work you to death over there."

With that Hanzo waved and headed back to the shop to grabbed the last delivery so that he could head home. Once he was back to the restaurant he could see that things were starting to slow down and most of the crowd was actually gone now. He entered and grabbed the last delivery starting to actually feel tired now after all the running around. He just walked to the last location not having the energy at the moment to run to it. it was lucky for him that the place was only a few blocks away and he was there before he knew it. he knocked on the door just like all the others and called out "Hello, delivery from Chou's we have your order."

After a moment or two a boy that didn't look like he was more than a year or two older that Hanzo came to the door, He looked at Hanzo blinking before looking at the bag with the food. Hanzo looked at his paper then said "It seems that the order was already paid for, so here you are sir." The boy took the food and nodded "I'm not surprised my sister is always doing things like this, she works to hard to take care of her. When you head back if you see her let her know that she should come home and eat with us. You probably know her her name is Janet."

Hanzo nodded to the boy as he started to head back to the restaurant all finished. He needed to head back and tell Janet he was done and to give her the message from her brother. When he got back in Janet was there waiting for him holding another bag, for a moment he thought it was another delivery. Again she must have read his mind because she said "I see you are all finished, this is for you and all your hard work. Thanks for everything today and come by and help us out again when you are free."

Hanso smiled and nodded to her taking the bag of food before saying "Thanks it was fun, and tiring oh and your brother said you should head home and not work so much. They wanted you to eat with them, I have to say I agree with him. You should spend some time with you family." With that he waved to her heading out having finished his task.
