Kris was sitting on her porch drinking some nice sake when Jen poofed out of nowhere.
"Mom, MoMo is missing!!" she cried.
Kris shook her head and just chugged another drink. "Are you sure she's not out with Shino or something, she did say-"
"No, her house is empty and everything!"
Kris sighed, sounded like work. Gazing out into the forest that was threatening to over run her house, she smiled as an idea hit her, or maybe that was just the alcohol getting to her head. "Jen, we're going on an adventure!!!"
"Kris! We have to find little brother first!"
"Eh...that's what the adventure is silly!"
Rushing inside Kris grabbed a satchel and started grabbing everything they would need. Stopping in the kitchen, she turned and noticed Jen wasn't behind her, she was in the living room watching yaoi.
"Hey Jen!" she yelled.
"What, I'm busy!"
"Oreos or M&Ms?" she called reaching into the cabinet.
"Just bring both, you know you'll eat all the Oreos anyways!"
Shrugging in agreement she stuffed her already full bag with cookies. After turning off the TV and bribing Jen with a year's subscription to Yaoi TV, they were out the door, walking on the dirt path, heading for Konoha to pick up some more supplies and ask for a few favors.
***
"Kaa-san can we stop in that store?" Jen asked tugging on Kris's sleeve and pointing at a little shop to the left of them.
"Well…" Kris said uncertainly while eyeing the shop. It didn't seem like the kind of place you could get the supplies they needed. Kris made the mistake of looking at Jen. Those had to be the biggest puppy dog eyes she'd ever seen. "Fine, but only for a second..." She sighed.
"Yay! You rock mom! Let's hurry!" Jen joyfully shouted as she dragged Kris with her into the store. Kris soon regretted going in. The shop wasn't filled with clothes like Kris thought it would be. It didn't even have food, weapons, or camping gear. Lining the walls, covering the furniture, and even parts of the floor were yaoi books. On the big screen TVs was more yaoi. Jen ran up to a counter, got some stuff and then walked over to a booth that was overflowing with great literature. Kris stiffly walked up to her.
"Jen, what are you doing?" she asked barley keeping her cool. Jen looked over the cover of a book, called Icha Icha Snow Bunnies Yaoi Edition, with an annoyed face.
"What I do before every mission, duh. You're always to busy to come with Sasu-chan and me though. Don't worry we understand. Sit down, have a look. You might find something you like." Jen said with a smile before going back to her book. A drop of sweat dripped down Kris's face.
'Just how the hell did I not know about this place? Well, now I know where they go when we're supposed to be training.' Kris thought with a sigh at all the wasted time and a promise to come back here. "We have to go get supplies Jen. What about our adventure? What about MoMo?" Kris asked using all her willpower to not copy her yaoi obsessed friend.
"Kaa-san what do you think we're doing?" Jen asked with a laugh and an eye roll. A vein in Kris's forehead started to throb. "Careful mum or you'll start looking like that pink eyesore Haruno." The vein stopped as soon as the words left Jen's mouth.
"How exactly does this help with anything?" Kris deadpanned glaring at the book blocking Jen from view.
"Well for one thing it helps me find my center, and for two well...you'll just have to follow me." Jen said as she stood up and started to walk towards a door. Kris quickly scampered after her. The door let them into a small dark room that had nothing in it except for another door. Kris walked up to it and in an attempt to get through it, shocked her.
"Ow! What the hell!?!" Kris yelped as she sent the door a glare that could rival the resident Uchiha's. Jen shot her an apologetic, if not somewhat smug, look.
"Whoops, "forgot" to warn you about the security system. Only I can open it you baka." Jen said happily as she skipped up to the door. She pulled out a kunai and twirled it between her fingers before slicing her thumb open. Then without missing a beat she drew some symbols on the door with her blood. The door glowed yellow for a second, lighting up the whole room, before everything suddenly went dark again. Kris blinked rapidly and tried to find Jen in the dark. Then she felt arms wrap around her and a voice purred into her ear.
"Surprise mummy dearest." Kris jumped out of the hold and across the room.
"RAPE! RAPE!" Kris started screaming then stopped when she heard Jen laughing.
"That was just too great! You should've seen your face! You shouldn't have yelled rape though. No one ever comes to that, well not anyone good anyway. Always yell fire! It could very well save your life one day. Now come on the doors unlocked." Jen said in a cheery voice as she opened the door to another dark room and they stepped inside.
"Stupid bastard child." Kris whispered darkly at Jen's back.
"Sure you wanna say that to this kid mom?" Jen asked and you could hear the smirk in her voice. Before Kris could answer Jen flipped the light switch and Kris saw a room filled with more things that can kill a guy then she'd ever seen in her life. "Welcome to my smallest weapon storage unit mummsie." Jen said with a grin as she twirled a katana in one hand and a kunai in the other.
"Where the hell did you get all this from?" Kris asked in awe as she ran her fingers lightly over a spear. Jen gave a casual shrug as she pulled out the same book from before and stuck her nose in it.
"Like I remember. I'll tell you one thing though even in this little room I still got more shit then even Ten-chan." Jen said smugly as she flipped the page of the book. "I say we get what we need from here then since we don't have Sasu-chan to open the door to the fridge you'll have to go shopping for some things. When your done come get me and we'll-." Jen started but was rudely cut off.
"Wait! Where will you be while I'm grocery shopping?" Kris asked confused.
"Well I'll be out front in the shop of course. I took care of my part already. After you pick me up we'll head over to baa-chan's office and either ask for a mission or a vacation. Depending on how the counsel is feeling. They've been bitchy lately. Especially that ass Danzou. Man would I like to just grrr! But yeah we'll be able to tell the counsel's mood by baa-chan's desk's condition, and how drunk, and angry she is. So let's go find some fun pointy shinnies!" Jen shouted as she ran off into the room beyond Kris's sight. With a sigh of defeat and a shrug Kris decided to explore to, and took off like in a kid in a candy shop.
Amazed by her friends stash in not only local, but foreign weaponry, Kris walked up and down choosing only weapons that she was most skilled with, every now and again glancing at Jen who was in fact still reading her yaoi book. Kris just smiled; she always loved that about her friend, always so care-free and accepting of most things...well everything shiny or having to do with men...together.
After having taken what she wanted, Kris set the weapons down by the door. "Jen, I'm going to go pick up some food and camping supplies, meet me out front in about half an hour m'kay?"
Jen just waved her hand muttering something about it being "the good scene".
