Suna

Hikaru's Pov:

"I am still waiting." Itachi spoke once again. I was still amazed that he spoke more then one phrase per hour, though how I knew that, I am still figuring out.

"I said you look like a weasel, I did not say anything about it being your name." I said, looking up at him, it's hard to put annoyance in your voice when you have no energy and almost no chakera. But I still have my sarcasm, I would die without it. "The way you have your hair reminds me of one, also you are fast."

"Hn." He said. Wait is that even a word you can say? Before I could mull over that problem, he asked me another question, "Where did you learn your skills." Scratch that, he ordered.

Since he is a natural lying detector *cough* sharingan *cough* I had no choice not to lie or else they would have a reason to take me to their leader. "My parents."

Kisame decided to butt in, "You didn't go to an academy?"

I looked at him and frowned, "They have those for ninja?" Of course I knew that they did, but what they don't know won't hurt them.

"You mean to tell me, you learned all of that fighting from your parents?" Kisame stared at me with disbelief.

I nodded, "I am a fast learner."

This was when I looked back to Itachi, who I had noticed was still staring at me. So I did what every other normal ninja would do, I stared right back. In all my life (I think) I have never lost to a staring contest, and I don't plan to start losing now.

We stayed like this for about five minutes when he decided to cheat using his sharingan.

"Cheater." I muttered before going unconscious, why can't I have a cool blood line like that?

I woke up expecting to be on someones back, but surprisingly I was still tied up on the ground by the non existence camp site. After a few minutes I got out of the ropes and found out that I got a fourth of my chakera restored.

The only thing I could find around the area was a crow feather, the message I could understand completely; We will be watching you. Sighing I threw the feather away and looked at my belongings. I had used most of my weapons, but the rest of them were missing.

"I bet that pervert did it." I muttered to myself, then noticed that my clothes and pack were shredded, "Well at least the stuff and my clothes in my pack are ok." Then I realized two things, one Itachi took my katanas, and two, "I totally forgot to take off my weighted bracelets."

Sighing, I then quickly found a nearby lake to wash myself.

"Damn it." I cursed, as the water touched my open wounds but I got used to it as I washed all of the blood off of me. While I was still in the lake I used a minor healing jutsu on my wounds, the best I could do was only to close them up.

After I changed clothes, which were the same, I climbed a tree to figure out where I was since they took me somewhere. I was surprisingly closer to Suna territory, just maybe several hours of walking and I will arrive at the desert.

While I jumped down and started walking west, one question was on my mind. Why did they let me live?

It ended up taking several hours to walk to the end of the forest, the only reason being that I wanted to save my energy to cross the desert. Noticing that it grew dark out, I decided to sleep in the forest for the night, it is better to travel during the day.

I woke up as the sun rose, a habit that I have gotten used to when my parents taught me. With nothing else to do I shishuned about two miles away from the sand village, no need to scare the jounin right away.

"Well this is boring." I muttered to myself, as I walked the two miles. Sand just was not one of my favorite places to live around. After showing my Id, I was let in Suna, which was very different from the other places in my travels.

The first thing I went to do was, finding a job. Sure I can survive in the wilderness by myself, but how am I going to replenish my weapons with no money. And thus my mission to find a job began.

"We aren't looking for anyone right now." The guy at a tea shop said, before focusing on making tea in the back.

I sighed, that was the sixth tea place that I have been to in the past two hours, none of them seemed to be hiring for a small period of time.

"You are interested in working at a tea shop?" A voice called out to me, I turned to see an older guy looking at me.

I nodded, "I am traveling everywhere to learn about the different tea, but I need to save up for traveling again."

He studied me, "How long can you work?"

"About a month." I answered.

"I do need another hand while I teach my son how to make every tea we make, but I want to see how well you do in a shop." He said, I nodded once again, knowing that you can't just hire anyone without seeing how well they do a job.

Five minutes later he lead me to his shop, which was small but very nice, it reminded me of my parents shop.

"Take thirty minutes to get yourself familiar with the place." Kuma said, we had traded names on the way to the shop.

I took ten minutes memorizing the menu and different types of tea, they had roughly the same tea as we did, but with a few missing and a few extra.

"Excuse me , I would like a jasmine tea with dango." I looked up from behind the counter to see a man sitting down looking at me. After realizing that I was the only person up front, I nodded grabbing a pen and paper.

"I need a cup of jasmine tea." I yelled to the back room, and started to put the fresh dango on sticks.

"I thought I said thirty minutes." Kuma said, came through the back with the tea.

I grinned as I grabbed the tea and put it with the dango in front of the man, "You did but no one else was up here."

He sighed, but agreed to let me start doing stuff early, "Just don't mess up the orders." Was his only warning, I saluted, tied on a blue apron, and got busy with the costumers.

"How long have you been in the tea business?" He asked, as I cleaned up once everyone had left.

"About three years." I replied.

He smiled and brought his hand out in front of him, "Then you are hired for a month."

I grinned and shook it, "Thank you. Treat me well."

Finally things were starting to look up. But I had this feeling at the back of my mind that it wasn't going to be for long.

A/N: He he he, you thought they were gonna take her :) nope not now. Plus it wouldn't be reasonable right now, it would be too weird. School will be started back up next week so I have no idea when the next chapter will be up, hopefully soon. So plz review. Until next chapter!
