Serah
D-rank
Serah plopped down onto the white couch, resting her head on one armrest while her body lay sprawled along its length. She pulled the gray cushion and propped her head up with it as she drew the orange cushion close to her body, feeling some of the muscles in her joints loosen as she stretched her stiff body on the couch, kicking off the other cushions from the couch in the process.
Serah was beat. Tracking that thief down had taken more out of her than she had expected, with her team dashing through the trees at an accelerated rate so as to not miss him. The fight itself had gone quickly though, with her acting as an innocent distraction to take the thief and the buyer’s attention away from Junichi, allowing him to drop from a tree and incapacitate the thief before he could escape, while she knocked the buyer out. She felt somewhat bad that she had to be so rough with someone she knew was sweet underneath the black market trade, but their mission briefing had required them to take in any and all suspects, which included the unfortunate buyer.
She craned her neck to the right to see the black, reflective surface of the flat screen television staring straight back at her, and she reached for the remote on the small table in front of her. It was propped at the edge, half of it off the table from last night when she had carelessly thrown it onto the rubber wood, and she lazily flicked her hand downwards in an attempt to grab it, only for her to miss and cause it to drop onto the floor. Grunting in annoyance, Serah reached down blindly with her right hand, searching for the remote until her hand came upon the device, grabbing it by one end and lifting it lazily, before flipping it into her hand with practiced ease and pointing it towards the television.
Even as she flipped through the channels, though, Serah didn’t pay attention to any of the programmes that were currently being broadcasted. The television’s lights and noises were just a welcome after a long day’s work of hunting down a thief who had stolen a priceless emerald from one of the wealthiest families in Konoha, and Serah could express nothing short of happiness that they were able to return the heirloom to the family at the end of the day. The only downer to their day was Mihoko-sensei refusing to eat with the team, and with her departure Junichi and Hirotsugu had agreed to meet up with her for a meal on another occasion, leaving the pinkette heading back home, exhaustion catching up to her now that her excitement was over.
Only her excitement wasn’t over. No, it was far from over. Even now as she lay exhausted on the couch a part of her was still more than just excited that she had completed a mission just like that. A few days ago, her sister had completed something similar, tracking a thief down with her entire team and then cornering him and a similar buyer in the woods. Oh, but her sister had taken down the thief with her entire team; she had only done so with one other teammate! She was so excited to tell her sister all about this! She knew her sister; jealousy wasn’t in her dictionary, and if possible this only served to further encourage her desire to want to tell her sister all about the mission that she and her team had for the day.
