Team? (Lightbird M..maybe...)

Akio sighed then he tried to remember where they lived now he was bored and wanted to have someone around. Maybe he would find Suzuha or Kyo but he sure hoped he didn't find Amaya.

Kyo, Amaya, and Suzuha's apartments were all next to Akio's in that order from left to right.

Akio would stop at a store it had all kinds of mask Akio found one he purticularly liked it was a dragon face.

The next day Kyo would have them meet for their first official mission, cleaning up litter through out the entire village. Kyo didn't actually have to help them out, just supervise, leaving Akio, Suzuha, and Amaya to do all the work. "We should split up." Amaya would say.

"Who made you the boss!" Akio said getting defensive.

"Nobody, it's simply the most efficient way of completing the mission." Amaya would say coldly, not even showing a hint of anger.

"Please don't fight..." Suzuha would ask the two of them.

Akio would sigh. "Fine first one to complete the mission wins!" Akio said and began darting and dashing picking up any trash in his way.

Amaya would just shake her head and proceed to start hunting down trash. Suzuha would soon follow suit.

Soon Akio after an hour couldn't find anymore trash on his side of the Village and would begin to converge onto where Suzuha was to help her.

Eventually the two of them would meet each other in the same alleyway. "Oh um...hi Akio..." She would say.

"Hello I came to help you I am done with my share of the village." Akio said as he dashed and darted picking up any trash he could.

"What about Amaya?" Suzuha would ask.

"Amaya can do it herself I don't care." Akio said it was obvious the way Amaya had been treating him had made a lasting impression on him.

Suzuha wouldn't say anything. Instead she just looked down sadly as she picked up trash.

Akio quickly finished. "Ready to head back?" Akio asked having finished up her section as well.

Suzuha shook her head. "I'm going to see if Amaya is finished up first." She would say wanting to return the same gesture Akio gave her. However Amaya was already done so Suzuha wouldn't find her if she went.

"Come on Suzuha. Amaya is the meanest out of the three of us why would you want to help her?" Akio wondered.

Suzuha would stop for a moment as memories of her past would flash before her. "Because...its the right thing to do..." Was the only reason she'd give Akio.

Akio would just put ears down he was kinda angered by the thought of this but he would prick his ears back up and say. "Fine but lets go back to see if she finished first if she hasn't then we will go help her." Akio said.

"Alright.." Suzuha said, Akio's planning making sense. The two of them would go back to the rendezvous where Amaya and Kyo would be waiting for them. Amaya wouldn't say anything about the fact that Suzuha and Akio were coming back together from the same area.

"Alright we are done now I can go get that mask! Then take a nap!" Akio seemed happy.

"Yep mission complete. I'll just file the paper work and all while all of you take a break. There's likely more work like this headed our way tomorrow." Kyo would say. "Chao" She would then vanish in a plume of smoke.

Amaya would walk back to her apartment while Suzuha seemed to be headed to the park.

Akio would do just what he said though after he bought the mask he would instead go to the park to meet Suzuha there. He would jump onto tree to tree then he would tune in his ears for her pencil drawing on the paper while he tuned everything else out. His mother had taught him this technique before she died.

Sure enough that's what Suzuha went to do. She had found a nice place where she could see most of the trees she was planning on drawing. Just like before though, she never looked down at the paper when drawing.

Akio would soon hear the faint sound of her pencil running along paper. He jumped from tree to tree till he found the source and jumped down. "Hey like my mask?" Akio said showing her the Dragon faced Mask.
