"Never Alone"

By: Awaii (me)

The three of us have decided to try to get more out of the sound ninjas who had been following us. So I walked back over to Shen to ask him some more questions about this Orochimaru guy and why- well just listen to our conversation.

"Shen…..right?" I asked sitting on a rock across from him.

"Yeah" He nodded

"I wanna ask you more about this Orochimaru guy"

"What if I don't want to answer you" He said stubbornly

Just as he said that Mashira walked over to me and "nicely" showed her teeth to Shen and let out a little growl.

"You were saying" I said now petting Mashira

"You think I'm afraid of some little girl and her little cat"

'I guess this guy forgot that I was the one who kicked his ass with out him even laying a finger on me, and as for this little cat she took down three of his men just like they were her morning breakfast.'

I sighed then got a serious look on my face, "You can either tell me what I want to know or I will-"

"You'll what….kill me, don't make me laugh, the only reason you and your Barbie friends were able to take us down was because we let our guards down."

I then grabbed my dagger and put it up to his neck looking him straight in the eye.

"Don't you EVER put down my friends again, or this little girl will kill you! You got that….Shen. Now you WILL tell me everything there is to know about this guy and what he wanted with me and my friends, you can do it one of two ways, the easy was were you just tell me, or the hard way were I force you to tell me." I lowered my dagger away from his neck, " Either way is fine with me"

"Tch"

"What will it be"

"HEY calm down over there!" Red yelled at me.

"Do you always have to take things so far." Hissori yelled towards me.

"Don't make-"

"Stay out of this you two, this one is mine" I shouted at them still looking Shen in the eyes.

"There's no point in stopping her now, she's got her stubborn mind set on something and no one can change it, wonder what he could of said to her to make her so upset" Hissori said to Red

"It was either something about her family, or her friends" Red sighed

"What a troublesome girl, she's gonna kill the guy" Hissori sighed then turned back to the ninjas they were talking to.

"Now who is Orochimaru and why did he want my friends and me dead?" I asked Shen once more.

"He didn't tell us, he just told us that you three were going to be getting in our way and that we needed to take care of you before that could happen"

'He was telling the truth, because he was thinking the same exact thing he was telling me'

"Alright, thank you" I then stood up and punched Shen in the face, knocking him out, " That's for calling my friends Barbie"

I then walked over to Red and Hissori

"Think you went a little too far, Awaii?"

"No…" I said to Hissori, " anyways we should be heading out before anyone else decided to try to attack us here" I said to both Hissori and Red.

They both nodded, then Hissori used her "Black Mist" tequnece to knock out the other five ninja.

"Now who's going to far" I laughed at Hissori

Not long after that Hissori, Myself, Red and Mashira all headed towards the Leaf Village, this time Red was riding on top of Mashira, while Hissori and I had to walk. "So….Awaii what did your little sound friend say to you, about that Orochimaru guy?" Red asked looking at me.

"He basically told me that the Orochimaru guy wanted us out of the way" I explained to her

"Out of the way? But for what, we don't even know this guy, and how did he find out about us?" Hissori asked sounding kinda upset finding out some guy wanted her dead.

"I don't know Hissori, but if what I'm thinking is right then it has something to do with the Leaf Village" I explained again, hoping I was both wrong and right

"What ever it is, I'm sure we will find out once we get to Konhoa" Red said.

Hissori sighed, " and here I was hoping that this mission wasn't going to be so troublesome."

"Stop complaining Hissori" I said to her

"Its getting late, and we are all tired, so lets stop up at this cave and try to get some rest" Red said trying to change the subject between Hissori and me.

Hissori yawned, " Works for me"

"Yea, alright" I said

We then all headed towards the cave to get some rest, we all laid our heads on Mashiras warm soft stomach, and feel asleep to her soothing purr……..

-Awaii's Dream-

"Why….why would you lie to me….I…. I thought I could trust you…."

"That was were you were wrong little sister, you should NEVER trust anyone"

Awaii, now in her room packing someone's clothes and other belongings.

"Awaii hunny you don't have to do this, just please go to bed"

"I…. I cant, If I leave this stuff, it….it will remind me of her, and…..and I"

Awaii then breaks down in tears, " WHY DID SHE DO THIS, didn't she trust me…..I…I said so many hurtful things to her and now I can never take them back.

-End Of Awaiis Dream-

I woke up fast, sweating and breathing heavy.

'Why do I keep having that dream' I think to myself as I wipe away a lonely tear off my cheek, I look back and see both Red and Hissori still sleeping.

'If I never would of meet then, the I would still be in my room hating myself for what had happened to my sister'

I quietly stand up and walk outside the cave and stare up into the sky wondering if she was looking down at me from were she was.

I then grab my dagger and begin to practice my Jutsu's and keke-genki, Cause I knew I was not going to be able to go back to sleep……I never can.

I soon decide to take a break and sit on the grass, I then feel something push up against my back, I turn and see Mashira lay behind me, then Red and Hissori sat beside me, but none of us said anything, we just stared up into the sky looking up at the Moon Light Night. Well Red and I did, Hissori fell back asleep after a while.

"Did you want to talk about it this time Awaii?" Red asked still looking up at the stars

I shook my head, " I don't think it will help, not this time"

"Was It that same dream?" I nodded trying to hold back my tears, I never liked crying in front of others, I felt it only showed my weakness to them. "You know, whatever happened Hissori and I are always here to talk to"

"Yeah I know, thank you" I said looking over at her, " thank you for everything."

The rest of that night Red and I just stared up into the sky, looking at all the stars and moon.

Okay I know this chapter was well, kinda sad towards the end, but DEAL WITH IT, the next chapter they will finally arrive at Leaf Village, so be patent okay
