Author's Note -- if you read my previous story, you will be sort of familiar with what is going on. This is kind of a sequel to my last story but it is in a different person's POV. Please read my previous story, and review it, if you enjoyed this one. Also review this one as well, with tips and what you liked! Thank you.
That silly blond ninja, oh my God, I wanted to be with him. Ever since he saved me from that evil demon thing, I knew I would be with him for the rest of my life. I had to follow his group. I was afraid he wouldn't want me to come. He seemed like a really nice guy and all, but not the brightest.
I had fun listening to everything. I'm pretty sure they noticed me, especially those two Jonin and that guy with the weird eyes. This one Jonin with this fang of gray hair popping up from his head seemed to gradually get more and more annoyed with my presence. By the time we reached their village, I could actually see a little stress mark on the back of his head.
He stopped, most likely telling the others to continue on without him. Then, he turned to face me. "Why are you following us?" he demanded.
I flipped my long blond hair. I really hoped this guy would fall for my obvious charm and good looks. Even though I had trained to be a ninja, I had always wanted to be some sort of beauty queen. It was my absolute dream. But, sadly, my beauty did not do anything to distract him.
"I wanted to thank you." Pathetic excuse number one.
"Right."
"You forgot your wallet." Pathetic excuse number two.
"Uh, huh."
Then I looked at him, really looked at him. The way he slouched when he stood, as if there was a heavy weight on his shoulders. The way he wore his headband over one eye, like a pirate. The way that his right eye was the only thing you saw on his face. Great, two really hot guys whom either A) don't know I exist or in this guy's case B) wish I would go away.
"I WANTED TO TALK TO THE BLOND KID, OKAY?!" I yelled, totally frustrated with myself. This was so much easier when everyone loved me.
"Do you, uh, like him?" the guy asked.
"I want to get to know him. Hey, what's your name?"
"You tell me yours first." What a child.
I crossed my arms. "Fine, my name is Mira, just Mira."
"My name is Kakashi Hatake. That is all you need to know." And then he just vanished.
Well, that was interesting. I continued on my way as if nothing had happened. I spotted Blondie (that was my name for him until I knew his name) at this place called Ichiraku's. Well, I guess I'll go check that out.
When I entered, I felt like a total invader. Everyone knew each other. I looked over to see a girl behind the counter talking to Blondie. "Hey Naruto," she greeted him. "The usual?"
"You bet!" Blondie now known as Naruto answered.
I came up with a quick plan. I pretended to twist my ankle. "Ouch, dammit. Excuse me, Naruto, is it?"
Naruto glanced around at me with a huh? expression. "Can you help me, I think I hurt my ankle."
So he walked over and scooped me up onto a stool. "Thanks. I'm Mira."
Realization passed through his eyes. "Oh yeah! You're one of the people that I helped save from that evil demon thing. Did you follow me?"
Did he notice I had been there? Was he mad? Sad? Upset at all? Happy?
"Yeah, actually, I did. You see, I never got the chance to thank you personally. And I was wondering if you would want to go out sometime." I flipped my blond hair. Man, I was shameless.
He wasn't taking the bait. I guess I needed to stop using my looks to get guys. I mean, every guy I ever knew had thought I was gorgeous. What was I supposed to do about it? What else did I have to offer someone if not that?
I stood suddenly and left the restaurant in a flurry. I needed to see an old friend.
