Yo. I admit that this chapter is really boring. But, it won't stay boring like this forever! A couple more chapters at the very most! Anyways, this one has a tiny bit of information that at least someone has to be wondering about. So! This is that and that is this!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
"Mishi!" Same whined, we had just entered the desert, and she was already complaining. I spared her a glance, then turned back to the barren wasteland stretching out in front of us. I hated the heat as well, preferring the cool, calming feeling of rain sliding across my skin.
"Mishi!" Same whined again. I stopped, turning back to look at her with a scowl on my face.
"What?" I growled. She was really starting to get annoying...
"What are we going to do? We're criminals!" Her voice rose in pitch so that she sounded almost like a child. I noticed the dull, apathetic look her eyes always had endless she was fighting. I briefly thought back to what I knew about her, and was surprised when I realized that I had never heard anything more than her name and past ranks. I gave her another wary glance before turning back to the road and continuing to walk.
"I will sneak in. I am well aware that infiltrations and the like are not really your forte." I said calmly. She huffed a bit before dashing ahead, sending sand flying in my direction. I sighed and step-sided it, glaring at her.
"Oops." She said sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head. "I was thinking, how much longer until we get there anyways?"
I pinched the bridge of my nose, glowering at her with a stare that made a pit of fire look welcoming. "Just. Shut up, please."
She yelped and shut her mouth, turning on her heel and marching through the sand in the direction of the Village Hidden in the Sand. My angry eyes dulled, and I followed after her in silence.
I danced through the sand, hearing Mishi follow behind me at a slow pace. I grinned when I saw Suna rapidly approaching.
"Mi~shi~!" I sung, feeling my face stretch into an insane grin.
"What?" She asked grumpily.
"We're here~!" My grin faltered when her eyes flashed with an angry hue.
"Then let's use the henge (A/N I think I spelt that wrong.. *sweat drop*) already!" She growled angrily, obviously wanting to kill me at that second. I nodded, content to release my happy and full-of-emotion facade. I could feel her curious eyes on me. It was always like that when I went into my real self. And I doubted it would ever change. My eyes slipped closed as I made some quick hand signs, spreading my chakra and feeling my appearance change. I opened my eyes again and saw that Mishi had also completed her henge (A/N How do you spell that?!) She chose a red head, like usual, and her hair was down to her shoulders, with no bangs. She grew a little shorter, but her red eyes were still there. I had chosen a brunette, with short, flat hair.I stayed at the same hight, and like hers, my eyes were still a dark blue.
"Do you think your eyes are going to attract unwanted attention?" I asked her, worried that if people recognized her then we wouldn't be able to get information due to the villages being on guard.
"It'll be fine. They don't know us that well. Beside's we ran towards Kohana, so they won't be expecting us." She shook her head slightly, then setting her gaze on the nearby village. Her gaze hardened, and she started walking towards it, sending an 'come on' back over her shoulder.
I followed her at a distance, my eyes resting firmly on her back. If she looked at me curiously, then why couldn't I? I still wondered about her sometimes, and about what she was. She wasn't human, that's for sure. But then again, I don't think I could be considered human either.
"Finally~!" Same cheered. "We're here~!"
I groaned and rubbed my temples in a soothing circle. I had to deal with this for hours while we finished walking to the Sand Village. Not to mention she kept on bugging me about my eyes. Letting out a small sigh, I turned back to the slightly amused Jōnin at the gate.
"I'm sorry, it just took us a rather long while to get here. She's a bit excited I'm afraid. You know, she really is quite hyper for a ninja." I cooed sweetly. The acting made me want to puke, but it will get us into the village. Plus, once we got there, we could probably kill as many people that's within reason. I saw the Jōnin stiffen then look at me sharply.
"And why would you need a ninja to travel with you? Are you both ninjas?" Damn it, of course they would get suspicious.
"Well, you see, I have quite a bit of money on me, and so my family hired a ninja to protect me while I moved to Suna to find something new in life." They relaxed visibly, and I internally smirked. I had always been the best at infiltrating and the like. Same often liked to take blood samples and mess around with them, partially to suppress her foxes so she didn't attack me. So, the special thing she kept with her were tubes and corks. I kept chakra restraints on me, making easy to hide them then sneak into almost anyplace as a civilian.
"May we go in now?" I turned my tone slightly snotty, so I could hurry this up. "I need to find someplace to stay tonight thank you!" They quickly let me in, after checking me for hidden weapons. Same had taken everything of mine, including my scratched Cloud forehead protecter.
We walked in, and the second we were out of sight I dropped my act and let my previously snotty face relax into one void of emotion.
"Whoa! You really are a good actor Mishi!" Same giggled. I sent an indifferent glance her way, then letting out a heavy sigh.
"Can you stop acting like that? I am not the only good actor around here." I growled. Right away her aura shifted. It turned from happy to deadly and uncaring in seconds, sending a blitz of shock through me.
I turned towards her, and her sparkling stormy-blue eyes had dulled, making them look even darker. Her face looked emotionless, but you could also clearly see the feral look that hid just underneath. She hadn't let go of the henge(A/N I AM TOTALLY SPELLING THAT WRONG) of course, but this was unmistakably her. It was a frightening change, but I had no room to judge, seeing as.. I cut my thought process off right there. There was no reason to think about things that had taken place in the past, no matter how much they hurt me. I lowered my gaze away from her and towards the ground.
"Come on. Let's go find a hotel or something." I whispered. It didn't feel right to talk out-loud right now. Not with Same's suffocating aura or my depressing line of thought. My family wouldn't have died in vain, and all of the Nations would suffer my wrath.
