"So when do we get to meet people?" I asked curiously

"I have no idea, but can we find a place for ramen first? I'm starving!" Chika-chan exclaimed

"What do you think Sensei?" Zetsume inquired

"After you unpack I suggest you all eat something. Then I suggest you rest. There will be training tomorrow" Sensei stated casually.

Well as casually as was possible. Sensei had an air about him, he was the single most genious ninja of your village. We all held a great deal of respect for him. Along with his genius came a seriousness that seemed to follow everywhere he went. Of course one is not to be mistaken, Sensei has his own sense of humor; however rare it may appear. Sensei also didn't seem to like people, yet he had hand picked our team. This brought our small team closer in the idea, whether delusional or otherwise, that we were special.

Looking to my left at Chika-chan, I laughed as her and Zetsume chattered and made gestures to the quickly approching Inn. I smiled at them. Chika-chan's hair was down, like always, it's too short for a ponytail. I watched as her white hair glistened in the sunlight. She had on her usual attire, an orange tanktop and small green vest that came to her mid-section. Her jean capri's fit her perfectly and her headband stayed frozen in place around her leg as she walked. She is the simplest of our group, only sticking with what is necessary.

"SAIJIN-CHAN!"

Jumping around, in surprise I was instantly tackled.

"AH! LEAPING BUFFALO ZUZU!"

"Hehe caught you off gaurd didn't I?" Zuzu proclaimed victoriously.

"Oh grab a cabbage and stand in line at the meat market!" I shot back

Zuzu stood looking back with a playful smile and bright eyes. She was wearing her black and red lace up corset, jean shorts, and her headband around her neck. Her long red hair was tied back in a ponytail and her hands, covered in fishnet gloves, were on her hips.

"Are you coming in to see the room?"

"Not when there's horses to sail!" I exclaimed smiling gleefully

Chika and Zuzu exchanged a glance and laughed.

I love how they, along with Sensei, are the only ones who speak my language, my own made up dialogue, I thought peacefully as I strolled away.

Wandering aimlessly I stumbled upon what looked to be a training ground. Sadly no one was around to practice on..
Suddenly I caught sight of figures in the trees...
Perfect, now I can finally meet some people!

"Spades little mamothes!"

GAARA'S POV

Curiously looking through the trees I watched solemnly as a strange girl walked about the training ground. Her long brown hair fell to her waist and her blue eyes were sharp and clever. She was dressed in quite an odd outfit. She wore regular black sweatpants(though they fit with no akwardness) and a crimson tanktop with blue and yellow intertwining lines of color that twisted along the bottom of the shirt in a delicate, but rather random, fashion.

"Have you seen her before, Temari?" I mutter not thinking

"No, never" she replied softly

"I wonder where her team is..." Kankuro said as he leaned forward dangerously

"Spades little mammoths!" the strange girl shouted

"Aak!"

Obviously seeing it coming, though the greeting was not what I had expected, I knew for certain Kankuro would startle and fall from the tree. Holding in place, not so much as flinching as Kankuro hit the ground with a thud, I watched carefully as the girl walked up to him.

"Flying hippos! the seas flooding!" the girl cried, "Racoons should not push cats from trees!"

Continuing to watch her in confusion, making no move to go to Kankurou, I stood feeling no threat.

"You're pretty strange aren't you?" Kankuro said sitting up and glancing at her "What's your name?"

The girl giggled as if the comment was humorous, "Stones dont share diamonds with bears in the forest! Only mountain lions must roar first!"

"Uhm..? My name's Kankuro...what's yours?"

"Saijin!" she smiled gleefully

"What village are you from?"

The sun hit her arm and my eyes flashed at once to her gleeming headband. Jumping down from the tree, scaring Kankuro in the process, I turned to the girl.

"You are from the Village Hidden in the Rain."

"Aa! So racoons do see through the holes in the mask!"

Beginning to get irked I turned to Kankuro, "Get up." then motioning to Temari "we're leaving."

"Now..?" Temari asked shyly

"Hai. now."

"Farewell bird who flies in sand!" the girl called cheerily

Walking away with Kankuro obediently following I could vaguely see Temari turn to the girl to whisper...

"Sumimasen, he's grumpy that way. That's my little brother Gaara, and I'm Temari. Perhaps we'll see you again soon!"

A/N::

Saijin-chan's language is purely made up with thanks to my friend Angela who Saijin is based upon! Yes it is basically nonsense, interpret it if you will, but the only thing planned for interpretation is the animals we use in her language to represent other characters. ex) Racoon = Gaara
