Asami's Point of View
I pushed off my hood, looking at the bridge. Sasuke looked up at the sign, and Suigetsu was drinking some water out of his stupid little sippy-cup.
"Sasuke, are you sure it's here?" Suigetsu looked over at Sasuke, who was still staring up at the sign.
The Great Naruto Bridge. Why would you call a bridge that? "Sasuke?" I looked over at him now too, noticing a slight smile on his lips.
"What's wrong?" Suigetsu's eyebrow rose.
"Nothing." And with that, Sasuke led us down the bridge. I wondered why he was so intent about the sign. Did he know the guy this bridge was named after? I shrugged to myself, causing Suigetsu to look at me.
"You cold or something?" He looked at my tight pants and jacket, and then looked me in the face.
"Nah. I don't feel the cold anymore. Just thinking." I looked at Sasuke's back. He was a really quiet guy.
"Ah, don't let him get to ya. He's just anti-social." Suigetsu grinned, his sharp teeth glinting in the sunlight. I expected Sasuke to attack Suigetsu, but he seemed unfazed by Suigetsu's comment. Maybe he didn't hear him or something.
"Come on. We still have to get Karin and Juugo." Sasuke looked over his shoulder at us, looking impatient.
"Alright, alright. Don't get your panties in a bunch." Suigetsu grinned again, walking faster to catch up.
I looked up at the sky. "Why did I sign up for this?"
As we walked through the small town, I admired the small shops around us.
"Suigetsu..."He looked over his shoulder, slurping water from his cup. "Nani?"
"You two go ahead and get your sword. I'm gonna find a weapon of my own."
Suigetsu shrugged. "Just watch yourself."
I rolled my eyes. "And you have to remind me of this...why?"
He frowned. "I'm just sayin."
Sasuke stopped walking and turned toward us. "Hurry up Suigetsu."
Suigetsu sighed, waved to me, and followed Sasuke through the town.
"Uh. I hate that Uchiha kid. Such a kill-joy." I folded my hands behind my head and went inside one of the tents. I looked at the rows of axes and bows, trying to find a short enough katana to wield. "Damn it. Why did I have to learn short sword? All they have here are freakin long ass swords." I kicked a rock in front of me, and it hit this really big dude in the ankle.
He turned, his eyes glinting in anger at me. "Why're you kicking rocks at me little girl?"
I laughed. "I'm actually tall for my age thank you. You're just a fucking fat-ass."
The man clenched his fists. "Who're you calling fat-ass?"
I blinked. "You. I wouldn't call myself a fat-ass. I've only had 8 meals in the past 8 years, and they were just two loaves of bread."
The guy grabbed me by the collar, and hoisted me in the air. "I don't care how well you eat ya little bitch. I just know no one calls Tuguro Misaga a fat-ass!"I smiled, not even worried my feet were about a foot of the ground. "Well Mr. Misaga, I just did. Now let me go please."
The guy cackled, and threw me against the nearest wall. I turned my body and landed on the wall with my feet, chakra holding me in place. "Ah. I forgot what it's like to fly. Thanks." I grinned at the awe-struck man. I jumped back onto the ground, and started looking through the rest of the shop, ignoring the people giving me weird looks.
Finally, I found a suitable short sword, with a black hilt and an ice-blue tassel. "Ah. Perfect." Before I could get to the register man, I realized I had no money. "Damn. Should've asked the Uchiha for some."
I heard loud footsteps behind me, and I turned to see that Misaga guy with a huge battle axe. "Ah. Mr. Misaga, would you mind lending me some money? I really want this sword you see. I seem to be broke." I gave him my best smile, hoping to get out of this without a fight.
The guy cackled again, and lunged toward me. "Not likely little girl!" He swung the axe at me, and, due to his fatness, I easily dodged. I grabbed his wallet out of his back pocket and slipped behind the desk and handed the wallet to the register guy. "Is this enough money for the sword sir?"
"You stole my wallet!" The guy swung the axe at me again, and I pulled the register guy down with me. "Wouldn't want an innocent person to be hurt, eh?" The guy nodded, sweat dripping down the side of his face, he was scared as hell.
I stood, and the guy swung the axe at me again, which I evaded. "You are getting really annoying." As he swung at me again, I caught the axe, ice covering my hand.
"Thanks for your wallet Mr. Misaga." The ice on my hand flew off, pushing the guy and his axe through the tent walls, rendering him unconscious when he hit a pole.
"Whoops. I guess I got kinda mad there, ne?" I walked to the register guy, who handed me the sword, shaking in fear. "Ju-just take it! No ch-charge!"
I smiled. "Oh, thank you!" I hugged him just for laughs, and grabbed the Misaga's wallet. He wouldn't need it anymore anyway.
I stepped out of the tent, waving around the sword, testing it. "Good weight...good length...wow, it's like this sword was made for me!" I laughed and started walking in the direction Sasuke and Suigetsu went, every now and then going into shops to look around.
Sasuke's Point of View
Suigetsu pulled the sword out of the dirt easily. "Alright, we got the sword. Now let's go make sure Asami didn't hurt herself, ne?" He attached the sword to his back, smiling.
He was extremely overprotective of the girl, which was amusing to watch. He reminded me of Naruto, who was always chasing after Sakura. Although, Asami didn't notice a thing and Suigetsu didn't realize he liked her. They were just two idiots. And even though I hate people like Suigetsu, I needed him on my team, and if he wanted Asami on our team, well then I guess I had to let her on.
When we turned the corner, we saw Asami, a sword drawn, fighting three guys who had her surrounded. "Asami!" Suigetsu almost leaped out, but I put my hand in front of him. "Wait." He looked at me like I was crazy, but he stayed in place. I pointed to two guys stacked on top of each other, where another Asami sat, eating a lollipop. "Oh, hey guys!" She waved her lollipop hand in greeting, holding out a bag of candies to us with the other. "Want one?"
Suigetsu just stared. "The other one's a clone?"
She nodded, putting the lollipop back in her mouth. "A shadow clone. Easy things to make really. Now come and get one Suigetsu, you know you want one." She held out the bag of candy again, beckoning him over.
The shadow clone was graceful with a sword, simply playing with the thugs, not harming them, but not letting them touch her. Asami, sitting on the two men, looked over at her clone.
"Oh would you hurry it up? Didn't our mother ever tell us not to pick on weaklings?" The clone laughed, and slew the men in one sweeping clone then poofed away, and Asami got up. "So who're we picking up next?"
Suigetsu snorted. "Karin from the south base."
Asami's eyes widened. "No." Suigetsu shrugged. "Apparently Sasuke here needs her powers."
Asami kicked a rock, annoyed. "Damn it."
