"I can't wait!" I yell happily in Kisa's ear.
She covers her ear and winces.
"what is your problem? Your going to make me go deaf!" she spats.
I guess she's not in a good mood. Oh well doesn't bother me none. I'm finally on my way to the chuunin exam.
"sensei." Tala turns towards our sensei. "how long till we get to Konoha?"
"we'll be there by night fall" sensei said. Our sensei doesn't say much, he doesn't have too. The looks he gives can kill. He came from the village hidden in the grass, but left to come to the land of snow. His name is Genji, but were only aloud to call him sensei.
"so do you think the other villages are gonna be hard to beat?" I ask Tala. Kisa doesn't look like she wants to be talked to. She might try to bite my head off or something. She gets grouchy when she travels.
"no" she gets a superior look on her face. "we've trained long and hard. We wont lose to any of the weak villages."
"yeah but" I look to the ground. "are you sure?"
Kisa turns to me "what the hell do you think? Yes were going to win! We'll kick everyone's ass!"
"language" sensei scolds.
Kisa sighs in defeat. "sorry sensei."
Tala and I start to laugh.
I stare out at the leaf village from the hotel room window. This village is beautiful. I've traveled far and wide and this is the best hidden village I've been in. my clan originated in Tonbogakure, Village Hidden under the Dragonfly. The village was wiped out in a attack after we were at war with Konoha. It was thought that only one survived the assault, but my father made it too. He went to the Land of Snow, where he met my mother. That is where I was born. My family didn't stay long after I was born. Soon we moved all over. My father trained me in the way of the ninja as we traveled. When I was old enough to take the genin exam, we returned the Land of Snow, that's where I met my team.
When I was introduced to Kisa, she almost burned my head of with a fire jutsu. I supposedly interrupted her training and she miss aimed. I think I just scared her, she just didn't want to admit it. Kisa in kind of an odd ball in the land of snow. Her specialties are fire jutsu's, but she lives in snow. Weird huh. that's just how it is. Anyway she's short tempered and quick to fight. She has great control on Genjutsu. Once your trapped, its hard to get out.
Tala is the total opposite of Kisa. Tala's calm and calculating. Her weaponry skills are beyond amazing. She can hit a target behind her from a hundred yards! Kisa and I met her at a local restaurant. We saw her eating some ramen and went to go talk to her. After ten minutes I was pined to the wall by my clothes. I guess I annoyed her too much. She's the type to sit and think. Always thinking about her next move.
I turn away from the window and see Tala reading a book. Its orange and looks kind of familiar… I could swear I've seen it somewhere before. I could have thought on it some more but Kisa busted in the hotel room and yelled something about a bath house. Next thing I know, Tala and I are being dragged off with our bath supplies.
Kisa had the funniest look on her face when we got into view of the bathhouse. I don't think anything is great about it. I mean, you have to get undressed in front of everyone. We got to the entrance and paid. The old man that we gave our money to leered at us. What a creep. As we walked in the changing room I saw girls running around naked! Naked I tell you! And running around like there was some kind of naked marathon going on! Who in their right mind want to just waltz right in and start throwing clothes everywhere?! Well the girls next to us thought it was a ok and did what everyone else was doing. I realized Kisa was already in the hot spring. No wonder she was all happy. I saw Tala scrunch up her nose in disgusted. She didn't look like she wanted to be here. I look around for some place to get undressed in peace. I noticed a corner and got closer, and as I did I heard giggling. Yes that's right, giggling. And it was manly giggling too! Then I noticed the hole in the wall. Who ever was behind the wall didn't realize I knew he was there. I quickly turned around and walked over to Tala casually. "um… Tala."
Tala looked up from her book. "what"
I turn to the hole in the wall. "did you know that a hole in the wall can giggle."
She just stared at me for a bit. Then just went back to her book. I guess she didn't care. Maybe because she's not changing. I walk off to tell Kisa my findings. She didn't take it very well. Every thing happened in a blur. One moment Kisa has a look of horror and the next thing I know she's at where the hole is doing a fire jutsu.
After the wall and whoever was behind it stopped smoldering, the other girls through on towels and tried to find the pervert. It turns out it was a old man with white hair and red lines on his face. The girls chased the old fool and tried to maul him. Who knew that old man could run that fast?! As I watch the mob run off in to the distance I realize Kisa and Tala are two of the many that are after the perv. What I don't get is why Tala is with the mob. Well now I'm alone and I don't know what to do.
I walk alone in the street looking at all the shops and food stands. I walk slowly looking for the hotel that we are staying in. I kind of forgot where the hotel actually was so… I've been wondering around. Next thing I know my face is making friends with the ground.
"RYO! WE FOUND YOU!"
Some one was on my back and it was killing me! Who ever it was had their knee in my back. "get off! Your heavy!"
"are you calling me fat?!" a screech was yelled out and they got off me. I turn to see Rem. She's one of the kids in my old academy class. She help me get up and I saw Yuki and Mura behind her. "what are you guys doing here?" I ask
"dude, the exams" Yuki says.
"yeah, we couldn't have you win the exam." Rem said. "like you could win…"
"hey!" I quickly jump on Rem's back. "we beat you last time!"
"yeah, that was a fluke" Rem said as she struggled with the new weight of me on her. "this time around. We will beat you."
"guys, we don't have time for this!" Mura sounded stressed. "sensei said that we need to get back and to bring you with us." Mura promptly grabbed my arm and dragged me in the opposite direction that I was going. Damn! I've been going the wrong way the whole time!
When we reached their room Mura hopped on a bed and declared she was going to sleep. With that statement, the other to girls said they would hit the hay too. So now I was standing in the hallway and had nothing to do. What to do, what to do. My stomach growled. Food it is! I leave the hotel and memorize the way away from the hotel. I look around for a place cheap to eat at. I check my pockets for some money, and to my displeasure I found nothing. Well that sucks. I'm poor and hungry! I turn around to go back to the hotel and realize I forgot how to get back, again! Now what. I walk down a random street because I have no idea where I'm going. I turn the corner and run right in to some guy. He didn't look very happy, in fact, he looked a little surprised. The red head just glared at me as I got up.
"sorry dude" I said as I dusted myself off. "my names Ryo. What's yours"
The guy just stared at me. I guess that was my answer. Why do all the cute guys ignore me? Am I not pretty? The guy turned away from me, "Gaara." and he walked off. Gaara huh?… wait a minute. GAARA! OF THE DESERT! Holy crap, isn't he the mass murderer of the sand village. Oh dear lord, I ran right in to him… and lived! I'm a survivor! Kind of. As I came out of my thoughts, I become aware of something. Gaara was now at the end of the street staring at me. I must have been staring at him when I zoned out. I'm doomed! I quickly turn around and walked away as fast as I could. I walked a block and found myself alone on the street. I wasn't totally alone. I had a murderer right behind me.
It just so happens in my hurry to get away I walked right past my hotel. I stopped and stared at Gaara. The door to get in was half way between Gaara and I. I made a dash for the entrance and dodged the sand that I can only guess belonged to Gaara. I opened the door and slammed the door closed. I was breathing hard and sweating. I ran right to my room and hid under my bed. I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!!
An hour later, Kisa and Tala came in. I was so scared it was Gaara.
"Ryo?" Kisa said. She came and sat on my bed. "I guess she's not here."
Tala sat down on her bed. "we can't have her running around town. Maybe she got lost."
Kisa shifted on the bed. And I had an idea. A evil plot. And you know what I did. I reached out from under my bed and grabbed Kisa's ankle. Kisa flew off the bed screaming bloody murder! I crawled out from under the bed and laughed my ass off. Tala was rolling on her bed with laugher also.
"Ryo you ass! Don't do that!" Kisa growled out.
Sensei busted through our door and glared at us. We all hurried to our beds. He must have heard Kisa scream.
After Sensei left we went to bed.
