The Tea Shop with Jurei Pt 2.

Mission:

Joro woke to the sound of rain pounding onto the roof of his apartment. Stout had stirred and was curled up at the bottom of the bed near Joro's feet. Joro liked the rain; it had always been soothing. It reminded him of peace and the time Joro had spent in the rain, running, jumping, fighting trying to perfect his craft. It also reminded him of his parents, sitting out on their patio, drinking tea, talking about the day and all the good the rain brought to the world, especially the plants.

"You ready for day two of working with Jurei and Ninjiro, Stout?" he said, propping himself up and looking down at the Stoat. Stout replied with a slight flinch, indicating he wasn't ready to get up. "Oh, you. Take a minute, but we do have to get going soon."

With that, Joro started to get ready. He first hopped out of bed and headed to his bathroom, he stripped and jumped in the shower. The cool water seemed to stick to Joro, as he remembered that the water heater had gone out last night. He would be having cool showers for a while. As he got back out and dried off. He could still hear the rain pounding on the roof. He knew he had to dress for the weather today. He threw on another pair of jeans he had, a shirt, and a rain jacket. He made sure to brush his teeth and everything else. As he stood back waiting to see if Stout was ready he flowed his hands threw his hair and threw up his hood.

"So you want to walk in the rain or stay up here in my hood?" he said, giving the Stoat a questioning look. He smirked at how only a short while ago it would have seemed like a silly question. But now Stout had become an important part of Joro's life and allowed him to have a companion. Stout eventually chose to just make his way up onto Joro and nestle into his hood.

"Okay, you ready?" he asked the Stoat, as he took some time to channel his chakra and teleported to the street of the teashop. Walking through the last bit of distance Joro couldn't help but feel a sense of joy for the rain and the summer coming soon. He hoped to see all of the beautiful flowers soon popping up.

"Alrighty, we are finally here and ready to go," as he walked in Jurei was already there waiting for him, and she was already hard at work preparing the beverages that were ordered. Without skipping a beat, Joro hopped to. He made sure to use the proper ingredients for the food and the drinks. As he made his way through the day the manager asked them to also make some deliveries as the shop began to slow down going into the afternoon. As they made their deliveries they all had a good laugh and smiles filled the air. They would drop off the bags they used to deliver the bread and pastries from the shop and head their separate ways till the next day for their third and final day working at the tea shop.

Meanwhile, within the bustling inner City Square of Hoshigakure-no-Sato…


Jurei awakes to the sound of her alarm clock buzzing atop a drawer near her bedside and the heavy pitter-patters of rain against her roof. She feels groggy as she rises from her bed and heads to her bathroom to wash up. She brushes her teeth, washes her face, and puts on her kunoichi attire. She looks into the mirror and smiles at herself, feeling ready for the day ahead. Ninjiro, on the other hand after swiping away the last vestiges of sleep from his eyes, simply performs a series of calisthenics and grooming his fur before donning his straw hat and cloth cap. By the time Jurei's ready to get going, he's already waiting for her at the doorway, his paws flexing toward her. Jurei smiles and cups her hands beneath his arms and hoists him up to her shoulders, to which her familiar's quick to coil himself around.

Making their way downstairs, her mother and father are already sitting in their living room, sipping tea as they watch the morning news. Jurei greets them with a smile, to which they return with one of their own. After getting she and Ninjiro get their morning fill, they then head out the door and makes their way to the tea shop where she'll be fulfilling a subsequent request of working their today. Jurei walks into the shop to see Joro already there, setting up the tables with plates and utensils. She smiles at him before taking off her raincoat and hanging it on a coat rack by the door. Ninjiro hops off her and down to the floor, flicking off the residual raindrops that snaked their way onto his fur past the raincoat.

She introduces herself to the store manager from prior and is given a brief summary of what to do. The task itself being simple enough to follow, Jurei gets right to work alongside her fellow Genin, Joro, who arrives shortly after. The two work well together and get along quite nicely. Jurei takes note of Joro's stoat companion, Stout, and she smiles as she watches them interact with one another. She finds it rather cute how they talk to each other like they're having a conversation. She also notices that Joro's quite skilled in making tea and baking pastries.

The day passes by quickly and smoothly for the most part. The only hiccup being when Jurei accidentally spills some tea on herself while serving a customer. Thankfully, Joro is quick to come to the rescue and helps clean up the mess. After that minor blunder, the rest of the day goes without a hitch and they soon find themselves closing up shop for the day. They bid their farewells to the manager and head out into the pouring rain, pulling up their hoods over their heads to keep themselves dry. Jurei looks at Joro and smiles at him, giving him her thanks for his help today before parting ways and resigning for the rest of the day.
