A/N: I know the chapters are short, but it's your choice, I can try to put short ones up everyday, or long ones up each week. Also, It took me VERY hard not to choose Itachi
"Well, Konoha, we're here in Konoha!" I exclaimed giggling to my horse, as I stood in the town square, looking in marvel at the hustle and bustle of day to day life. People rushed rushing to work, people buying from the various market stalls lined up and scattered around. Mothers pulled their children along the busy streets, couples walked hand in hand down the pathways, children playing admist it all, and much, much more. It was utterly amazing, and as I looked around, I apparently caught a few a stares. It must have been how I was dressed, gosh, didn't anyone ever teach them not to stare. I saw a few animals in the streets, so I wasn't afraid to pull Konoha along, not that I'd be afraid anyway. "Come on, Konoha." I said gently, pulling the horse's rein a bit. Now..there must be stables somewhere. "Excuse me, miss!" I called out to a woman and her child. "Do you happen to know where the nearest stables are?" She gave me a strange look. Huh, must be the hair. She pointed down the street, "Go straight until you see the cross roads, then take a right, then a left, and then another right, you'll see it when the palace looms into view!" She said, as she pulled her child along, her fingers intertwined with her child's. As I turned to follow her directions to the best of my ability, I heard the child speak. "Mommy, why is that ladies hair pink?" "Pay no mind child, the fool must've dyed it." The mother replied. Ouch. With a bit of an deflated ego, I strode down the street following the woman's directions, trying to keep my head held high. I turned my head slightly to my horse, "Hey, Konoha, would you like a trea-"
I was interrupted as my face and body connected into the broad chest, I relished in it for a second, before a monotone voice brought me back to my senses, "Will you watch where you're going?" I looked up into a stress filled handsome face. Stepping back with Konoha, I glared at the coal eyed male. "Well, you're the one who walked into me." I snapped. He arched a perfectly trimmed black eyebrow, "Is that so?" I motioned with my hands, "Well duh, I was minding my own business with my horse." "Talking." "Excuse me?" I asked, confused. He continued, "Talking to your horse." I felt heat rise to my cheeks, before I willed myself not to give the jerk the satisfaction of my embarrassment. I shrugged, nonchalant as I replied, "So, what's it to you?" He mirrored me, as he shrugged as well, "I don't know, weird girls who walk into people, and have obviously dyed hair, bother me." My nostrils flared in indignation, "How dare you?" "My hair is REAL!" I shouted, but then lowered my pitch as I noticed the stares. "Oh yeah, prove it." He countered, a stupid smirk plastered on his face." "Fine." I stated, as I walked closer to him. I was about a foot away from him, and I lifted up my arm to show him. "See?" I asked, watching him squint his eyes to see the light pink hair lining my arms. "And." I continued, whiling closing my eyes. I showed off my dusty pink eyelashes." He was silent for a few moments, "Hn." Satisfaction lit me up, as I grinned smugly at him. "Haha, in your face!" I laughed, whiling sticking my tongue out at him. "Oh come now, I'm sure you want to use it on me, but keep it in your mouth." He said, smoothly. "I N-" He interrupted me as he walked away, sending me a wave behind his back, leaving me visibly fuming behind him. Letting out a sigh, I continued on my trek to the stables, ignoring the stares I got from passersby.
"Finally." I gasped for breath, as I stood at the entrance of the "Green City Stables." A sandy haired boy ran up to me, "U-Um, miss would you like some.. help?" I smiled at the teen, "Yes that would help my situation." I said, while laughing slightly. He let out a giggle as well. "You can rest inside miss, I'll attend to your horse, and will be back in a moment." He said, while smiling warmly at me. "Yes, thank you so much, his name is Konoha by the way." I said turning my head to him. A small twinkle entered his eyes , as he laughed. "What a.. fitting name, aha." I smiled knowingly, as I continued on my way. As I entered the small lobby/house part of the stables, I sat down on a small wooden bench, relaxing my tired self into it. Just as he had said, the boy returned within a few minutes with a small smile. "You really have a wonderful horse." He said, his eyes twinkling with wonder. "Do I?" I laughed, "I suppose I picked right, then." "So, how long will Konoha be staying?" "Just about a week." I replied, looking around the small area. "A week." He said, mostly to himself, while he wrote this down In a logbook. "Do you require bed and board?" He asked, looking at me almost, hopefully. "I…do?" I asked confused. He smiled at me reassuringly, "We're in a bit of a tight spot, so we're offering bed and board, for the modest price of ten gold a night, meals included." He said, looking at me again. My spirits lifted instantly. "That is a crazy price, well then, sign me up!" I said, all the grinning at the deal. Rising up from the bench, I resisted fist pumping to remain a sliver of maturity in front of the teen boy. "Well then, I guess I'll see you and your family tonight then?" She asked, unable to contain her grin and happiness. "Yup!" The boy grinned back. As she ran out the door, she waved a hand behind her back, "See ya then!" She called behind her. As she was a little ways from the stables, she let out a loud whoop of joy. "Time to explore!"
