Hawk's Nest
By: Silverwolf
Anko looks a bit startled as she notices Sasuke. "I swear I have to tie a bell around your neck." Sasuke shrugs swiping a plate of food from her hand. Anko makes a face, "you could at least say thank you." Sasuke looks at her after swallowing a mouthful of food.
"Sure, when you make it." Anko sighs knowing that telling Sasuke about manners or becoming angry wouldn't phase him. The teen was actually the unseen resident of the library. It was a wonder that her adoptive father hadn't bothered to either rid himself of the raven teen or adopt him. It wasn't like Sasuke was the first minor to wander into the library only to end up being part of the you could call them a family. Over half of them were only interested in their own agenda. Suigetsu slept in their pool. Sasuke didn't even bother to walk through the yard behind the libray to the house. Karin remained almost worshipping her adoptive father.
Anko looks at Sasuke, "don't scare anyone tonight. You walk like a cat or something because no one ever hears you." Sasuke finishes off the plate of food. "Hardly anyone ever sees me." Sasuke rises from where he was eating only to step over towards Anko leaving her the covered plate and tilting his head downward slightly. "Why do that?" Sasuke looks at her.
"I thought you had a bell to tie around my neck by now. You've keep telling someone should..." Anke maks a face speaking before Sasuke can finish his sentence," For that comment I'm going to find a bell to tie around your neck somehow."
Sasuke looks towards the stacks of bags around the many shelves of books. "I'll believe that when I see it." Anko sighs loudly, "you can complain when I do." Sasuke slips away leaving Anko talking to herself.
Sasuke sits on top of the highest set of bookshelves reading the the aid of a flashlight. He'd worry about the trip down much later. The railing set up to orginally hold a display was still quite sturdy. A stack of book sit to Sasuke's left. A couple of pillows rested against the railing and under the teen. A blanket also lies under Sasuke. If he so chose to he could sleep along his cliff.
Anko looks towards the students before looking towards the ceiling. She was actually kind of hoping to see the flashlight she'd become so used to. It meant the hawk had finally settled down away from the snake. Her father wasn't about to stay the night in the library. He only cared for the large building when it suited his own convience.
Anko does notice a blonde staring towards the top of the shelves. "This place really haunted?" Anko laughs at the comment as cobalt eyes stare towards her. She shakes her head. Naruto sighs and then stares back towards the ceiling. He blinks as he notices a play of shadows.
Anko smirks a moment, "there's no ghost here. There is a hawk with a nest somewhere alont the high shelves. Most of the time it's comfortable that high up. I know you hear about ghosts being here, but it's false."
Naruto breaths a sigh of relief. Though he still had questions because of the way he'd heard the woman say hawk. Was there really a bird living and the highest points of the library or was there more the that statement. Until Naruto had the answers he decided he'd remain awake. It there was a bird living in the libraby he'd surely see it if he kept his eyes toward the ceiling.
The blonde grins a moment and then looks towards Anko. She was apparently the eldest adopted child of the strange male that owned the library. The story was he'd gathered the collection of books by hand to put together every book the library had. It was the now the largest in th world. The collection even included books that were no longer in print.
