Coming to You Live

by Whisperwill

Originally written in script format, except for the final scene. w/ OC. Reporter Tessie travels to Konohagakure to interview the ninja there. In the process, she gets a little more excitement than she bargained for. Rated K-plus for minor bleeding.

2. Scene 2: No Takers

Tessie stood, microphone in hand, in front of Konohagakure's Ninja Academy. Just behind her were dozens of students practicing their katas while older ninja supervised.

Tessie tried to talk to the ninja. "Excuse me. Excuse me, do any of you have a moment? Excuse me—"

"What do you think you're doing?" a ninja cut her off, stopping next to her. "Can't you see that class is in session?"

"Oh, I just want to ask one of you a couple of questions," Tessie wheedled. "It won't take long, I promise. How about if I start with you?"

"No," said the ninja flatly. "All students and teachers are busy at the moment, including myself. If you want to talk to one of us, you'll have to wait until school lets out this afternoon." He left before she had a chance to say more.

"But—oh, well. There are plenty more ninja to ask. Stay tuned, folks!" Tessie said brightly.
