"TEACH ME TO DO THAT!" Naruto yelled as he ran back over to the group. Sure he had a huge lump on his head, but he paid no mind to it at all.
"Sorry, but I don't know how to teach that to someone." Rin confessed. "I've just been working on that for a real long time."
"You must be one powerful ninja." Hinata commented. Rin's face began to look a little sad at Hinata's words.
"I'm not a ninja." Rin told her.
"WHAT?!" Naruto and Sakura yelled. "Then how can you punch like that?" Naruto asked.
"You mean I can't be strong if I'm not a ninja?" Rin asked.
"I think he means is you wouldn't expect that from just anybody unless they were a ninja." Sakura said.
"Rin, how can you not be a ninja if I saw you kill the three men in the forest?" Hinata asked.
"Well that wasn't really me, my summons killed them. OH, well cept for that one guy, but I just snapped his neck was all." Rin said as she shifted from one foot to the other.
"See, that just sounds like you're a ninja." Sakura said. "And mainly only ninjas have summonings, so how can you explain that?"
"…..to tell you the truth I didn't sign any contract to have these summonings. I've had them for as long as I can remember. I'm not a ninja because….well….girls aren't aloud to be ninjas in my village."
"WHAT?!" Sakura and Hinata yelled.
"Don't ask me why they all suck at life with their lame rules." Rin told them.
'Any more questions and I might give something else away about my village. I need to get out of here and fast.'
"Naruto I'm really sorry for interrupting you in your training. Sakura now that we found Hinata can we please go to the hotel?"
"um….alright. Hinata why not come along with us." Sakura said.
"Alright." She said. "Bye Naruto."
"Feel better Hinata." Naruto yelled to her.
"YOU IDIOT!" Sakura yelled as she hit Naruto on the head.
"Ouch Sakura, you should be nicer to your brother." Rin laughed.
"My brother? Oh he's not my brother, though he does act like it a lot." Sakura said.
"Sorry, you just treat each other like brother and sister I only just assumed." Rin said.
"Although we do look alike." Naruto laughed.
"HOW THE HELL DO I LOOK LIKE YOU?" Sakura yelled.
"Oh hear that, Yamato is calling for me…(but Naruto I'm right…) HERE I COME YAMATO!" Naruto yelled as he ran away.
"Your brother sure is weird." Rin laughed as they all walked away.
"Yeah hahaha…hey…HE'S NOT MY BROTHER!" Sakura yelled.
The three girls made it to the hotel and went inside to get Rin checked into a room. The hotel was definitely luxurious, a place only the wealthy like the Hyuuga's could afford. Sakura looked around the place and was feeling a little nervous. She knew Rin had a wad of money in her pocket but would that be enough? They all approached the desk where a woman in her mid twenties stood. She looked at all three of them but only began to smile when she saw Hinata.
"Welcome to the Red Dragon. Miss Hyuuga it is an honor and a privilege that you are here. Let me just be the first to say how wonderful it is that you have chosen us above all the other hotels in Konoha." The woman said with a huge smile.
"Actually I'm not staying here, my friend is." Hinata said gesturing to Rin.
'Did she just call me her friend?' Rin thought as she looked at Hinata.
"Oh, well then that changes a few things. I'll need your name please." The lady asked as her smile got smaller and she began to right in a book on the counter.
"Rin."
"Your full name please." The woman asked not looking up from the book.
"My name….um….my sir name?" Rin asked getting nervous.
"yes." The woman said clearly getting annoyed.
"….it's….my name it's…."
"Haruno. Rin Haruno." Sakura said.
"Very well." The woman said. That'll be 1000 dollars for your first night. You can afford that cant you?" the woman asked with almost a smirk. Rin's reply was smacking down a bunch of bills on the counter. "Your room is number 101, I'll call up a busboy to take your….do you have any bags?" the woman asked looking around.
"Just this one on my back. I can carry it to my room thanks." Rin told her.
"Fine, this is your key card. Just go to that elevator and head for the twelfth floor." The woman said handing Rin the key. She took it and they all went to the elevator. Once inside the elevator Sakura hit the button number twelve and the doors shut.
"So Rin, how long have you and Sakura been related for?" Hinata asked.
"huh?"
"I gave that woman my last name since you weren't exactly giving her yours." Sakura said.
"Oh, well thanks for that." Rin smiled. "This elevator sure is taking its sweet ol' time." Rin said as she tapped her foot nervously. Hinata noticed this and gave Sakura a look which she understood completely.
"Rin, what is your last name?" Sakura asked her. "And don't tell me it's classified like everything else is."
"Fine. I'll be honest with you." Rin said showing a faint smile as she looked down at her feet. "I…don't have a last name."
The doors opened up and Rin walked straight out into the hallway taking a left turn. Sakura and Hinata both looked at each other wide eyed.
"She's telling the truth." Hinata whispered. Sakura nodded and they both followed her.
Rin was at her door sliding the card through when Hinata and Sakura got to her. She opened up the door but was blinded but a bright light coming in from the room. Once her eyes became adjusted she stepped into the huge room that took her breath away. Sakura dropped her jaw too at seeing the amazing room Rin was placed with. It was a big sitting room, with long couch, plasma screen, bathroom door in the back to a huge master math with spa tub, and a larger separate master bedroom.
"I don't deserve this." Rin said retreating from it slowly. "Sakura let's go to that other one you were talking about. If it's in the ghetto I'm sure I'll be fine." Hinata put her hands on Rin's shoulders to stop her.
"You DO deserve this don't worry." Hinata said.
"Yeah, and if you don't mind I think I'll live here too!" Sakura squealed.
'Oh my gosh I just squealed. I haven't done that in a while. I haven't felt like I could have fun in such a long time!' Sakura thought as she went over in the middle of the room. Rin ran right by her and began to jump up and down on the couch.
"This is so COOOOOOL!" she yelled delighted.
"RIN!" Sakura said shocked and amazed. "Get down if you break it you'll OH!" Rin pulled Sakura up right with her and held her hands as she began to jump still. "Rin?"
"Sakura jump on the couch, you know you wanna!" she cheered as she jumped even higher.
"Rin I need to leave soon so…" Sakura tried to step off but Rin pulled her right back on.
"Sakura you're a little uptight. SO JUMP YOU FOOL JUMP!"
Sakura began to bounce along with Rin hand in hand. When Rin jumped faster Sakura felt it safe to jump faster too.
"Man this thing is SO bouncy!" Sakura yelled giving another hard jump on it.
"SEE!" Rin yelled. "HINATA you TOO!" Rin yelled.
"Sorry, but I'm not so sure." Hinata said backing away. Sakura and Rin grew a little evil tint in their eyes as they both jumped off the couch and over to Hinata. "NO!" Hinata yelped as she began to run away from them. Sakura laughed and playfully chased Hinata without using any chakra. Rin was behind her but it seemed futile since Hinata was hopping over the furniture pretty quickly. She had just made it to the bathroom which was practically a dead end. They had her cornered where a table with all kinds of soaps were. They approached her slowly as she frantically looked for something to defend herself with.
"Don't move!" she threatened. "I have powder!" she yelled showing them a bottle of powder that you used to take baths with. They both put their hands up slowly to show they surrendered, but Rin grabbed a bottle of shampoo and aimed it at Hinata.
"It's worth the risk!" she yelled.
"Rin, now let's not get carried away." Sakura said holding her hands up to calm her.
"Oh, sorry I guess I was being a little childish." Rin said putting the bottle down.
"NO, I mean look at how expensive that bottle of shampoo was. Why not use that cheepo' brand that's right next to it." Sakura said grabbing the bottle.
"Two against one isn't fare!" Hinata whined.
"This is how it is in the ninja world!" Sakura told her.
"Ha ha, sucks to be a ninja!" Rin laughed.
"Well if that's how you feel." Sakura said walking away from Rin and pointing the bottle at her.
"Hey what's this?" Rin asked.
"You just said it sucked to be a ninja, so I'm turning on you!" she laughed.
"BUH?!"
"Hinata, I'm not on your side either!" Sakura declared.
"Dog eat dog world you know." Hinata said grabbing another bottle of powder so she was aimed at both.
"So you're going to betray me will you? Fine, worst mistake you'll ever make." Rin said getting too into the little game they were having.
They all looked at each other with a killing intent that could make a bunny faint. Neither of them moved but only aimed their weapon at their opponent.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK Went the front door.
"AH!" they all yelled.
"Better get your door Rin." Sakura told her.
"But who is it?" she asked. "Who knows I'm here?"
"Hinata can just check with her Byakugan." Sakura suggested. Hinata nodded and put her bottles down.
"Byakugan!" she yelled. She looked through the walls of the bathroom to the front door. "Oh, it's just a bus boy I guess. He has towels."
"Any cute?" Sakura giggled.
"Little."
"TO THE DOOR!" Sakura yelled.
They all went to the door to open it for the guy. He did have towels and the CUTEST smile on.
"Enjoying your stay?" he asked with a smile when he handed them over to Rin.
"Sure am!" Rin smiled. "Thanks!" The guy didn't go anywhere but waited and smiled at the three. Sakura and Hinata knew he was waiting for a tip but for some odd reason Rin was clueless.
"You're supposed to tip him." Sakura whispered as she elbowed Rin.
"OH, well you're a boy so a tip I should give a boy is…..never pee in the wind." Rin said. Hinata and Sakura fell over anime style as Rin shut the door.
"RIN, you were supposed to give him cash not advice." Sakura said.
"Really? Because he brought me towels? I could have bought myself towels."
"Rin you're just supposed to." Hinata said. "Haven't you ever tipped someone before?"
"Well I've never gone out somewhere nice before." She told them.
"Well with all that money why on Earth not?" Sakura asked.
Rin shrugged.
"Hey guys, sorry to change the subject, but why were you looking for me earlier you never said." Hinata asked as she sat on top of the couch.
"Kiba was looking for you, Shino too." Rin said.
"I guess I need to get to training then. I'll see you both later." Hinata said heading for the door.
"Wait I'm coming, I have to go back to Tsunade too." Sakura said walking to Hinata.
"Thanks for helping me get here." Rin said.
"No problem, maybe we can have lunch again." Sakura told her.
"Alright, and Hinata you should come too." Rin told her.
"I don't want to intrude on you guys." Hinata said.
"Are you kidding? It's more fun with more then two people." Sakura said.
"Then okay, what time?"
"1:00!" Sakura decided. "We'll come here first and get Rin."
"Where should we go?" Rin asked.
"Some place classy?" Sakura asked.
"I know a good place." Hinata said.
"Then look nice Rin." Sakura told her. "Get your best outfit ready by 12"00 when we get you."
"No problem….i guess." Rin said.
"See you then!" Sakura waved as she and Hinata both left the room.
"Bye!" Rin said as the door shut. Rin walked to the bathroom to put the towels down. She'd never had a bathroom before but was sure that's where they went. She saw the bottles on the floor that Hinata and Sakura must have dropped when they went to the door. She didn't pick them up because they were reminders of them. When she went back to the main room she looked around and saw how nice the place was.
"I don't deserve this." She told the room. "I don't deserve them either."
'If they new who I was, and what I have inside me. They would never like me, and at the same time they want to know the truth. Do I keep dodging the questions till I find the fox? Can I even keep not telling them the truth? I'll just have to let the pieces fall where they may.'
Rin walked around the room a little and smiled at all the nice things it had. She knew she didn't deserve such nice things. She went against the door and slid down to her butt. She began to cry hysterically as she looked at the room. Her tears were hot and stung her face a little. In the big room she still felt alone, with those two new girls who liked her she still felt alone.
"I truly will be alone forever." She said as more tears came out. "And I don't deserve such a nice room, even though I worked hard to afford it."
As Sakura and Hinata walked they both couldn't help but let out the rest of their giggles.
"I haven't laughed like that in such a long time." Sakura laughed.
"Me either, what we just did would be looked down on in my clan." Hinata said clearing her throat.
"Well Rin sure is interesting; she got us to act out." Sakura said. "We can trust her?"
"Very much." Hinata said. "I can tell she doesn't want to lie to us, but there are some things she doesn't want to tell us for some reason."
"I wonder why she doesn't want to tell us, I mean where is she from?"
"I'm sure as much as we don't want to trust her that she doesn't trust us with information either. Well that's my opinion." Hinata said getting ready to go in the other direction of Sakura.
"Well….as far as I'm concerned she's pretty good. I wouldn't mind being friends with her. We'll need her to be our friend too and make sure she's comfortable giving us information."
"So see you tomorrow." Hinata said walking away.
"Seeya'!"
