Birthday
Words: 125
He was on his way home after being treated
to Ichiraku's ramen by Iruka Sensei. He chuckled to himself,
remembering today's encounter with Hinata; she never ceased to
amaze him by the way that she would always make time to see him,
without fail.
He dragged his reluctant feet along, not really
wanting to go back to his apartment when a blonde missile charged at
him, almost knocking him over.
Face hidden under long bangs, a
voice murmured "Happy Birthday," shoving something into his
hands. Not waiting for a response the blonde was gone, leaving a
trail of dust behind her.
He smiled and wondered if what Hinata
had was contagious since what little he'd seen of the girl's face
had been bright red too.

Blessings

He looked long and hard at the boy
shifting uncomfortably under his gaze. His lips formed a grim line.
His face grew hard, the way it did when about to refuse to buy that
"oh-so-cute-but-slightly-expensive-dress-that-I-just-have-to-have".
He
glanced at the boy again; his hand was curled protectively around the
smaller one inside. His usual aura of a mixture of insolence and
defiance had melted away and the boy looked slightly concerned as he
glanced at his companion.
He, too, let his eyes travel over to the
girl. Sighing, his expression softened after one look at her face.
He
nodded. The girl and boy sighed with relief.
Just like with the
dress…

Bias

She frowned at him across the table. Of all
people, she thought she could count on him to tell her the truth; but
apparently not.
She raised an eyebrow, mirroring her disbelief at
his denial.
Still, he shook his head vehemently, insisting that he
spoke the truth.
"But I'm not
obsessed with ramen! I'm just partial to it; that's all!"

Burning
Words: 113
A bead of sweat snaked down his cheek, his
brows furrowed in concentration. He stared before him with such focus
that he only reserved for when throwing a kunai.
As a stroke of
genius hit him, his eyes lit.
Throwing his 'weapons' of choice
into position he beamed at his opponent.
She glanced briefly at
his 'attack'. A slightly predatory glint slid into her eyes as
her grin morphed into more of a smirk. She placed the letters 'I',
'N' and 'G' onto the end of the previous 'move'.
"Triple
word score plus that double letter score."
He winced at her smug
tone.
"Nani? That's cheating; you cant just turn 'burn'
into 'burning'!"

Breathing

He cursed silently as her body went
limp.
Why…Why was she always so reckless?
Moving towards her,
he froze. Panic bubbled at the back of his throat. She was completely
motionless.
Urging himself to keep moving he approached the still
figure…
And heaved a sigh of relief.
The steady rise and fall
of her chest reassured him for a moment.
The he began to plan his
lecture; that Mind Transfer Jutsu could be lethal!

was supposed to be in Yamanaka Inoichi and #14 was actually about
playing Scrabble (as weird as that sounds) – I was trying to do
something completely different to what would usually be written for a
word like 'Burning':

I don't own scrabble either.
At
some point I'll turn #10 from the last chapter into a one-shot to
make it a little less confusing, though I doubt it will be until my
exams are finished (damn GCSEs – we aren't even getting study
leave!).
Leave a review and I'll see you next update!
