Rolling over i fell off the bed startling me awake. I was swaddled in my blanket so much i could barely move, rolling on the floor trying to get my arms out was a struggle. The claustrophobia setting in.
What the fuck
Wiggling around i Finally got myself unstuck. Standing up I kicked the blanket with hate, fuck man. Turning to leave the room, i tripped over it again falling face first onto the wall.
Fuck ava, come on.
Pushing my self off the wall I quickly walked into the bathroom needing to pee so bad. Stupid blanket.
While washing my hands i got a good look at me, my hair was matted up on the side, shirt falling down i even had dirt on my face.
I laughed at myself, i need a shower but coffee first.
Strolling into the main room to make some coffee i glanced at the table for my book but i could not see one. I looked under the table, on all the small amount of surfaces i owned it could not be found. A sadness crawled into my heart as i looked at my open window "Hmm".
Standing there confused i moved to make some coffee, it takes some time without a pot.
I sat on my window, coffee and smoke in hand to wake up. It was another beautiful day, sunny no clouds and a nice amount of wind. Why no book today?
Finishing my coffee i went and had a shower, Turning on my shower was a bit tricky, i had to turn both nobs before i can pull the broken pulley but i got it down now. That part may be broken but the water pressure was great. My new shampoo smelled amazing but all i had was shampoo so i washed all of me with it. I was so dirty, falling down a cliff could do that.
I need to learn how to do that better, it was so thrilling. To turn off the shower, i had turn the knobs off, then push in the broken piece of metal.
I fixed my hair, and got ready for the day. Thinking i would find something to climb.
A knock on my door, oooh a person. I almost skipped the the door.
The hokage was on the other side, "Hey" i said a little to loudly i was startled he was here. Motioned for him to come in, "how are you adjusting" he asked with genuine kindness. I could smell the pipe smoke on his clothes as he passed by.
"I love it" walking towards the cupboard grabbing a cup, "can i get you something, water, coffee?" "no, that is okay" he said with a sparkle in his eyes he sat down in one of my crappy table chairs. "you are so polite" I smiled at him. What is this also weird, i gotta offer people a drink it is something i just do.
I put the cup back and sat across from him, "What bring's you here" I asked lightly. "Now that the classes are out for a bit, i have found you a teacher for ninja basics"
"Really?" leaning on the table on edge of my seat. An actual teacher?
His eyes crinkled "It will only last two and a half weeks" A big smile on my face, my heart filled with joy. "Do you know where the academy is?", "Umm" leaning back in my chair "no, not at all" I embarrassingly said.
He tried to explain where but i just could not follow. He was talking about places i don't know and so many left and right turns. I think he could tell by my blank face that i was lost even if i was nodding along.
"You sometimes remind me of someone" that i understood, i hope it is a good thing, "oh really, i bet they are just amazing" i Joked to him. He made a small noise i think he found it funny. Looking around he saw the map he gave me on the counter, pulled out a pen and drew on it to show me the way. "Thanks" i really was thankful, even if it did not help the first time.
He said to be there by 12. i nodded leaning my head on my hand "what time is it now?" He made a little noise and looked around. Maybe looking for a clock? "It is about 8 am." that's early, guess i wake up early now a days.
"Alright," I will find my way there in a couple hours "How is your money holding up? I couldn't say the truth, it would make it seem like i want him to give me more, "it's okay". He nodded standing up so gracefully for an old man and headed to the door. "But is there a way to make more, some job i could do?" He seemed to think, "not sure, most jobs are taken by the new genin right now"
"I will look" he turned and continued to leave. I sat there for a bit the smile returning to my face. A teacher, I thought wistfully, i loved the books but finally a teacher.
I should go early, it takes me forever to find these places.
making my way there i just walked down the streets getting a good look at the village but also going slow so i can follow the map, I did notice there was a lot more people today walking around a lot of groups with three kid's and a person about my age. This must be the genin he talked about. Pausing to stare at one group, they are so young but they probably could kick my ass so fast.
I was not good with these windy streets, i just could not follow the map. Stuffing the map in my bra, i jumped up on the roofs and got to the highest point nearby. Such a busy day, I scanned around but nothing screamed school.
I went roof to roof in the direction i had been headed, carefully keeping an eye out, Is that it? There was a big white place with a pink roof and bright pink doors, a small tree swing was off the the side, I saw an open space to the side with overused dummies and targets.
I jumped down and headed for the door, Inside was a big open hallway. I looked both ways unsure where to go. Looking in room after room, It is really a school. Almost like home but again different, no lockers and the tables were strange but with the open windows it was not stuffy.
There was not one person around, i don't know where my teacher is supposed to be. Walking down the white hallways alone was a bit creepy just because it was so empty.
I looked room after room for to long, sighing i closed my eyes and focused, No one. I just walked more before trying again, i don't have a long range. I was near the end of this hallway and headed down the one connected. Pausing again at a cross of hallways hating how lost i am, again!
I focused on chakra but this time i felt something. "HELLO" i started yelling, "ANYONE HERE". A small head popped out of a room, finally.
"Hello?" I smiled at the comical way it was just his head sticking out with a confused look on his face, i just laughed inside while i walked toward him. "I am Ava i am looking for someone that is supposed to teach me". Getting closer i noticed i know him, it was the guy that helped me find the clothes store. "Oh shit it's you" I said in a excited tone.
He was not happy to see me. "You are late" sounded a bit of annoyed. "really" as i got to the door, "yes" he hissed at me, "how late i could not have been lost for Two hours" "about 10 minutes" he looked a little deflated. "Sorry" i mumbled as i walked into the room and he gestured at the seats.
I was really nervous about this i have no clue what to do."I am your teacher, Iruka Umino"
"Iruka" i whispered while running it over my tongue as i made my way to the second set of seats in the middle of the room, i sat at the far left side of the long table. Well this is weird i'm back in school.
"I am here to give a test on what u know, so i know what you need" He said as he picked up a tiny stack of papers.
Great a test right away, My annoyance slowly turning into excitement just to learn something.
"It is a little break before classes start up again, so i am gonna be working you hard"
Great
"Alright" i mumbled he passed me this test and a pen. It was a few pages long, and then he sat behind his desk and started writing something on paper paying no attention to me.
Sucking on the top of the pen i opened up the test. The first page was easy, with the help from books i know this stuff but then they started to get harder. I can't give a answer if i don't even understand the question.
There was a whole page on hand signs, i don't know anything about them at all. Taking a deep breath i flipped the page. I could only answer one on that page. Looking out the window was a perfect view of an area mostly all grass, a small tree, but some parts were just dirt in small circles, for some reason made me think of ufo's, welp that's me now. Sometimes being one makes me smile.
I just continued to answer what i could. Next was a page on basic weapons, Kunai was the only weapon i knew the name of and i never even picked one up.
Another empty page. Then there was a part on the three basic jutsu's i should know to pass, Changing my looks, make a successful clone, and something called the body replacement technique.
I have definitely failed this test.
My arm was holding up my head while i leaned on the table looking back on all the pages trying to find anything i can answer and i guess they are all basic questions. Sighing, i gave up, "i guess i am done" i said carelessly, he looked up at me while moving paper to a different pile."Already?"
I spoke Wearily "i know absolutely nothing"
He sighed as he stood up and walked over and to grab my paper, scanning them as he walked back to the desk and finished before he sat down "Yup you really don't", Made me smile a tiny bit, i leaned on my arm and ran my finger over it in circles.
He looked over the test again, after a moment he decided to start with hand signs. He told me a lot in the span of three hours, mostly all about the hand signs but also the specific ones to make a clone and transform.
He also showed me Body replacement Technique. "What is that?" they all sound fun but when he explained what it was i got really excited. I can't wait to see if i can use them.
He gave me the signs and i tried them out but nothing happened, after a couple fail times he came to the conclusion i need more chakra control.
I wrote down the signs in a small book. I asked Iruka to look it over so it was correct before i left to try again at home. So day one, i learned a lot. It was nice to actually have a teacher, i was worried about it at first but now i am excited to go back tomorrow.
Even if my teacher did not seem to like me.
I was hungry, i had yet to eat today. I ran roof to roof feeling like BBQ, so i was looking for that place i found my first day out, it had the best meat, so long as i don't burn it.
I got lucky and found it pretty fast, i had a bounce in my step as the smell enveloped me, i got a seat a bit away from the windows as it was packed, they handed me a menu, but i knew what i wanted. After taking my order i looked around the place.
I noticed hot smoke guy was sitting by the window, a smoke hanging out of his mouth while laughing at three kids.
I guess u can smoke anywhere.
Next to him was pretty blonde girl who looked very annoyed, the way i sat i did not get a good look at the faces but there was a boy with with dark hair, that stuck out the top of his head in the strangest way and a bigger boy, that was eating really fast.
So he is a teacher. My waiter brought me my drink and some meat for me to cook. I put them down on the self BBQ and waiting for the rest of my order, i had stopped looking around and focused on my food.
They brought me my sides and i was happy to be eating alone. I felt someone look at me, looking up it was hot guy and his kids. I just smiled awkwardly at them, while stuffing my face with a piece of meat and looking back down.
Smoking hot guy I giggled inside at my pun.
He gave me a friendly nod that i found strange, i gave a nod back to be friendly, the kids eyes were all on me, other then the big boy he was focused on his food like i was.
Did he tell me his name, i can't remember. I just turned away and continued to eat. Knowing people know i am an alien and not knowing if they hate you is kinda sad. i never know what to do with these people that look at me like that, other then just avoiding them.
I can't just leave right now, i guess ill just not look over.
So i grabbed my notes and studied all the hand signs. There was a lot of them, trying to eat quickly and get out faster. A few minutes passed with my face in my book, i peeked up at them but they were gone. i perked up and looked around.
ya they are gone
There was a few other people around but none looked my way
My whole body relaxed, i went back to eating slowly and reading my notes with a smile on my face.
The rest of the day was calm and went by fast. I looked at and tried all the hand signs to try and remember them correctly, there was so many but i will get them down.
I also was worrying about money. I don't think i have enough to last me very long, one meal a day i might last four or five days if i eat only one meal a day But that would still give like a week broke as fuck.
I need someway to make some money.
For the end of the day i did some yoga, the stances and pushed myself while running nearby.
I can't leave my route or i get lost.
I had a good morning, coffee, sat in my window to wake up while chain smoking and i got ready for school, haha school. I was excited for my second day. Only one thing that slightly brought down my mood, there was no more books.
Maybe they just took him off the watch me list or has stuff to do, maybe because i have a real teacher now? I mean i don't need them now so it makes sense, it was just sad.
Heading out early i made my way to the school faster, it did take me a bit but this time i still got a little lost, I was early this time. Hope by the time i am done with school i will know my way.
When i got inside i found the room fast greeting him with a smile and a wave. He made a noise, but mostly did not care. I quietly sat in my seat and waited for this to start, a little sad to be hated so much.
We had a short discussion on hand signs then he gave me a small test on them. I guess i did well because we moved on to chakra control. He showed me some tricks and ways to meditate on the chakra and focus on moving it around my body.
So he had me sit there and actually do it, I closed my eyes and tried to get to know my chakra but i was close enough to kinda see his spark, not being good at mediation i just kept looking at it. It felt far away and i can't see the direction even if i knew where he was but it was so pretty as i just watched it, after looking it for a bit it looked more like a ball. I just stared at it and then i started to see kindness in it pulling me out of my head and open my eyes. Wtf.
I startled him with my reaction and he looked at me confused i just decided i will do this at home. opened my book and wrote down notes and tips. I will add meditating to my new nightly thing.
I tried again, this time focusing on me not him. Moving my chakra around was kind of fun, eventually i was better at this and i stopped getting distracted by his ball.
After almost three hours of doing nothing but meditating. He made me stop to check my progress, asking me to try the clone.
I did the hand signs, pushed my chakra like he told me to, there was a poof.
There was a poof!
I failed but i got so happy and i jumped around while he just rubbed his head and looking at me like i am the worst ninja he has ever seen. I saw his look and put my hands on his table. "you don't know what this means to me but it is amazing, i may be a bad ninja but i thank you for your help, weeks of books have nothing on you" I smiled at him
I backed up and tried it again, and it only poofed again made me squeal like a kid, so i just kept on trying.
Time was up but i wanted to learn more, i gathered my things and headed out the door. I can try them at home. "Before you go the hokage wants to see you, please go to the tower" He spoke while arranging more papers, Why so many?
I was half out the door one hand on the frame when i leaned back in, "oh ok" turned to leave. Then faced him again "where is that" i asked awkwardly. His hand hit his forehead, with a sigh. "i will show you" He slid his chair back and walked passed me. I followed him in silence, from roof to roof, He seemed to have a little less hostility toward me.
With an actual guide we got there in like two minutes, we walked into the big red building that stood out to me. The hokage building, no wonder it looks important. Looking around with Enthusiasm, It was a nice place.
We went to the right, and along the side there was this big stairway that winds up the back. It was Marvelous but a little dark. It lead up to a flat area with a table and it had the biggest door.
"Wait here" I nodded and then watched him turn and leave without a word but for the first time he did not just disappear i actually saw him walk away.
I stood there and waited, i kinda wish there was a chair. Leaning on the wall i started looking around.
The ceiling was a light green and the walls are a dark red wood paneling. The light small brown table out here had one plant on it. it was like a fern but not sure what kind of plant that is. thinking of sniffing it when The door opened and i stood up straight.
A few green clad ninjas came out of the room all with the same outfit and all the headbands are actually on their heads with an air of purpose. They were all about my age or a little older but a couple of them were so cute, I watched some of them walking away. The guy on the far left has the cutest butt.
Watching that ass walk away i heard "cough" i looked over and saw the hokage with two guards staring at me. All with a smirks on there faces.
Haha they caught me.
I laughed with my hand behind my head. "What's up guys?" i smiled as i entered the room.
The two guys also wore the ninja outfit, with red on their arms. One had a hat like situation with his headband and an emo hair eye cover. The other has crazy spiky black hair, and wears a white bandage on his face. They actually smiled at me as they left the room and shut the door behind them.
Still kinda giggling inside, i faced the old man "you wanted to see me?" The big white room was nice windows around the sphere wall, the green ceiling put some color in the room. The hokage went and sat at his big wooden desk "yes" he spoke with enjoyment in his voice, "you asked for a job, yes"
I got serious and trying to treat him with respect "yes sir, that would be great" i spoke as i walked a little closer. "now most jobs are done in teams and are simple genin start jobs, i did not have a lot for a single non ninja jobs But i looked for you, if you would like there is a job today about weeding a small garden for an older lady".
He handed me the information and the amount of money it gave me was amazing for just weeding a garden. "fuck yes" i almost yelled with the biggest smile in my face before i got a hold of myself again, "thanks sir"
He showed me the route, pointing from the windows. He can definitely tell that i have absolutely no sense of direction. Such a kind man.
Its late in the day, i really don't wanna get lost. I left his office and headed the way he showed me, running as fast as i could from roof to roof before i forgot where. I have dealt with gardens before at home, i should be able to get this.
I think i'm here, standing in front of a cute little pink home with a blue roof and white door, a small path to the road but if you look behind the quaint little home you could see a pretty large garden. Small my ass.
I walked up and knocked on the door, this old lady opened it. She was a bigger lady, in pink and blue dress, Like her house? she must love pink and blue.
She rudely looked passed me and around, "where is the rest of your team", "it is just me mam" she scoffed then showed me to the back, to the large garden. "Just pick the weeds" she rudely said and went back inside.
I looked at the garden to see what she was growing, i saw vegetables fruit and some things i don't recognize, I was sure i could figure out what was weeds and what wasn't i was careful at first until i started to really recognize the weeds. Then i started to go faster. Going as fast i could before it got dark.
The sun was starting to set, so i tried to pick up the pace, i was almost done but that was when she came out back and yelled "are you not done yet?" and started ranting on how i need a team, i just ignored her and gave her some fake smiles.
I looked up at the sunset, i am running out of time. I tried harder, to go faster. Luckily i got it all pulled before The sun completely set. She complained about me again when she looked at my finished job. Once she gave an okay i got the fuck out of there.
I jumped roof to roof trying to stay high up to keep an eye on the big red building, hoping he was still there.
I walked up to the doors and paused, not sure if i should knock, is it rude? Deciding to knock, "come in Ava" I slowly opened the door, the only person was the hokage.
"How was your first job" I smiled at him "was pretty decent, thank you" he nodded, puffed on his pipe while pulling out a envelope "here is your pay" as he breathed out a puff of smoke.
Smiling ear to ear, my first paycheck i took it from his hand, i did not look at how much it seemed rude, so i just stuffed it all in my bra. He looked at me funny, not in the same way most do, but like i was doing something Peculiar.
I was eager to leave being incredibly hungry. So when i knew we were done here, i said my thanks and left the building.
I headed to the shopping district, grabbing a dango to curb my apatite because i had a plan on what i want to cook tonight. It was still early evening, so i went to see what i could by.
I have no idea how to save my money, here i am spending it again.
I don't need clothes, or weapons right now, what do i need.
A pot for coffee and fresh instant, the coffee maker was still a bit overpriced, so i will buy one when i get more money. I found a frying pan, stocked on food, Hygiene products. So i was just looking around now, to see whats on sale. How about furniture, is there a place around here.
Being a ninja it was easy to carry around all these bags.
I was looking for the store nearby when i saw him, Walking down the street hands in his pockets, His crazy hair hardly even blowing in the wind. How does it stay up like that? Then he jumped away, It was book guy, i was startled by how happy i was to see him, i am glad he is okay. He must not be on my watch anymore.
I just watched the area he went, he helped me so much.
What if he hates me too.
"AVA" a male voice called, making me spin around as a green blur headed my way, perking me up "LEE" i was caught up in the moment and i ran at him, we got pulled into a weird spin hug, my bags flying around. He was the same height as me.
We laughed it off and he looked at me with his wide sweet eyes, "why have you not trained with me yet" Laughing "There is no way i would ever be able to keep up with you yet"
"I can't even do that" i heard a girl say. Looking over there was two other kid's standing next to us. This young girl was a cutie, her brown buns on her head. i kinda loved her pink and green outfit she had an aura of toughness and caring and next to her was an Angry looking guy with long black hair, and the coolest eyes.
I laughed at her joke and introduced myself to both of them. I tried not to look but i couldn't stop from having glances at the angry boys eyes, is he blind? Her name was Tenten and the angry boy was Neji. After a moment of people walking by and watching him look around i realized he can see.
"What are you doing here" Lee asked, i looked around, "i am looking for a furniture store" Looking from him to his friends "you?" "we are going to eat, we have been training all day" i smiled, "come with us? sensei is meting us there"
Neji made some impatient body language, Tenten was being polite but, so i think i will say no
I held up my food in my bag "i am cooking something tonight" he looked like a kicked puppy, We said our goodbyes, and Tenten pointed me towards the correct store.
Carrying all these bags home i really missed my car. I made it home and dropped the crazy amount of bags on my floor with care.
I pulled out my pot and pan and started to boil water for coffee. I grabbed the beef and cooked it as it put away the rest of my food.
I had bought the closest thing i could find like a wrap for a soft taco, so excited to eat one again. i moved the beef around and started to pull out my new stuff.
I got myself a new pillow, a black pillow case and small gray blanket. I made my bed and then i stuffed that old hateful blanket into the very tiny closet.
I unwrapped my new vase, it was brown and transparent, i really like it as i put it in the middle of my crap table. Maybe i will find some flowers tomorrow. I was happy to start to nest, I need to make this place nicer.
I went and put away the rest, some hygiene products, I also hung up my new towel it was bright blue and it was so big i had to buy it. I was in love with it.
I ate my amazing wrap and cleaned up. I ran for about an hour until i was tired, i guess i am getting more stamina. I will have to add more running to my list because it was getting late and i had to stretch and meditate.
I woke up from the best sleep, it was so hot but i did not want to stop cuddling my new blanket or get out of the bed so i just snuggled into it, after fighting myself in my head i got up and started my morning routine. This time with a pot to make the coffee.
I spent some time mediating before school, I did see some sparks around but i was getting better at ignoring it so i could focus on my own. In the middle i did look around and watch them but i was not sure who or where they were. I stretched out and headed to school.
I was feeling giddy today so i did some stupid parkour, jumping from buildings to fences and big bins. I also flipped a couple times, I ignored the strange looks i got when i was on anything but a roof but It was so fun.
When i got in a bit early i walked in and greeted him with a cheerfully morning. He just responded to me with a noise again but i was still happy, i just sat back down and waited for the lesson to start.
I was still not good with chakra control yet, so he showed me Taijutsu. He taught me a lot and we never had a break the whole time i was there. He fixed my stances, showed me how to do some basic hits and how to move my body, i wanted to quit a few times but i thought of lee every time and kept on going.
He gave me 'she' is the worst ninja look so many times, when it was over i just fell to the ground, every muscle was sore. I was so glad to sit, We had an awkward goodbye and he left quickly.
I just lied there until i had the energy to stand up.
I had a basic morning routine, coffee in the window, meditate, school, run, test what i learn.
A couple time i got a basic job, one was getting a flower from the top of the heads, i loved that one and painting a fence. They pay for ninja's who are basically superheros, to do strange simple tasks, i found that bizarre.
When it came to school i was getting better at the basics, I can move my chakra so much better and he taught me how to throw a Kunai.
It was not much but i think his mood started to change about me, we are not friends but he now laughs with me at my failures instead of looking pained and he says morning to me when i enter the classroom.
I am worried because i have about a week and half before he teaches regular classes again and then what do i do. I still suck at everything and sadly Iruka is mostly the only person i have around to talk to even if he mostly dislikes me, i am happy to be around him.
He also helped me pick out my little bag they all wear on their legs and filled with kunai. I still suck at aiming, but he showed me how to hold it and throw it. I strapped it just below my shorts and have been practicing pulling one out and throwing it at targets, i miss every time.
I have also climbed trees to the top but just with my hands and feet, i can't do it like them. Thanks to Kuro i don't seem to be afraid of heights anymore and can definitely catch myself if i fall off a cliff again.
After trying the clone over and over again assuming it was all jutsu i could not do, i was starting to feel like a massive failure.
He made me try the teleportation one, where i switch with a log. I found a decent size one and threw it away, did the hand signs and pushed my chakra.
It was amazing, The craziest feeling as the world spun away quickly and there i was standing where my log was. It worked flawlessly. I was so excited i could almost hug him, I grabbed the log and tossed it on the roof and did it again and poof i was on the roof.
I was so happy and excited i jumped around a bit. We were both shocked and happy that i did a real jutsu.
It was my first Jutsu, so we made sure i had it right to get a full use from it. It got to the point when he threw stuff at me i was able to do it fast enough to evade.
It was a lot of fun. I tried the transformation one, It kind of worked was mostly just a creepy mess, i needed practice with that, We don't know why i can't clone but at least i'm not completely useless.
I also got myself a small gray, two person couch for my apartment. I have a scented candle, smell of vanilla and some more clothes. The exchange rate per job is pretty nice, i can't imagine what a real mission pays.
I was woken by the sound of rain hitting the roof so hard. Rain!
I sleepily waddled through the living room to my window, I closed my eyes and breathed in, one of my favorite smells in the world, warm rain hitting the hot dirt and grass.
I sat in the window with my legs over the side. It was pouring down hard, my legs started to get wet.
I was so happy, this is the first it has rained since i have been here it is always so hot and dry, it felt like a small gift as i was sticking my hands out into the rain. I forgot how much i loved this.
Jumping out my window in my small shorts and shirt, My bare feet sinking into the mud that was forming, i was soaked in seconds i splashed around in the mud and puddles.
It was still early morning maybe around seven, i looked around and there was not a lot of people but the small amount looked at me funny or tried to protect themselves from it, while i looked up at the sky.
I bounced around some more. 23 and acting like a child but i did not care to much.
"The joy of youth" I heard someone loudly exclaim in a deep voice, i spun around, hair stuck to my face there was Guy Smiling at me, I trudge over to him "I think i am your age" I said loudly, Hard to hear over the heavy rain.
"I am 26" he said proudly, with his famous thumb pointing at him. "23" as I mimicked his actions.
"I just forgot how much i loved rain, how much i missed water" I spun in a circle with my hands in the air. "Don't you just love it and the smell it makes on warm ground" i was almost yelling at him as it poured over us. "if you love water, there is some small lakes in that direction. He pointed in a direction away from the stone heads. "Really, i will go there when i have a chance, thank you".
"Do you want a coffee" i yelled at him but i don't think he heard me. I jumped up to my window. and gestured him in. He followed, I put some water on the stove. "Would you like some coffee" i asked, this time he heard me, "i don't drink much coffee but sure" he said a little loudly "you have never had my coffee, i make the best coffee" i grabbed two cups. If he does not drink any, it is fine, i have nothing else to offer.
"You have a nice place here" his booming voice was really loud in here "i still am planning to paint it or something. Its a work in progress". Not knowing what to say made me feel awkward, so i said the first thing that came to my head "I have learned a lot since i met you. maybe one of these days you can show me some basic taijutsu", "There is that youthful spirit, i will gladly show you some moves" He loudly spoke as he was distracted by my floor.
"There is water everywhere" He sounded like it was the worst thing in the world. Laughing at the truth, we made a lot of puddles, "do you want a towel?" I grabbed one from the bathroom and threw it at him. He started to dry his hair. His strange, strange hair.
The water started to boil so i made two cups of coffee, put in some milk and sugar and gave him a cup to him as he sat on my couch, I sat at the table the first cup of coffee in the morning is the best, lighting up a smoke he spoke up "This is a great cup of coffee"
"I know right, i have a superpower" i giggled, "a superpower, what does that mean?" His voice boomed again while taking a sip.
How do you explain superpower, to people with superpowers.
"umm" i looked up at the ceiling, "i umm it's when" Looking back to him, his wide interested eyes focused on me, waiting for an answer. I did not want to let him down but i really don't know what to say, "i am not sure" That did not curb his enthusiasm, "You should sell this coffee" He took a lot of bigger sips.
"When i was in my world i always wanted to do that but i figured it would only work in a small town", "You could sell 500 cups in a day or maybe 1000 cups a day" he yelled as he stood up. "go for your dream and never give up", he got a little louder, "Put the fire of youth into it" He was ranting, all i could do is stare at him.
This guy, i love him.
I started laughing stopping his rant. "Maybe i will" he smiled at me, i smiled back, "you really make people want to accomplish stuff don't you, i am almost tempted to do it" I stood up and put my cup in the sink, "So you are a teacher?", "I love helping the youth reach their dreams, the power of youth is amazing, My genin group is wonderful" "that is so cool", for some reason i thought of book guy, i kind of forgot about him for a while there.
"Hey do you know a ninja with, um" gestured with my hands "gray tall spiky hair, and most of his face covered but one eye" His eyes got fired up almost literally, made me back up a sec. That Is Kakashi Hatake, my rival"
Rival? really. He ranted on about the score of wins and losses, "Has he Been inappropriate with you, i will fight him"
That made me laugh, as sweet as that was, i could not stop the crazy laughter coming out of my mouth. "No, he has never been inappropriate with me, He just helped me when i first got here, was wondering what he might be up to?" i slowly said between giggles.
"Ah, he is taking his youthful genin to the land of waves" i can't remember where that is, i know its far from here
"Oh he is a teacher, Makes sense, he did try to help me" i said kindly. He was starring out the window for a moment, his whole demeanor changed. I looked out, trying to see what he saw. All i saw was a bird, so i looked over at him with confusion on my face "well it is time for me to go" he looked serious, "i loved the coffee" and he jumped out my window.
I looked after him but he was gone, oh well. I can't wait till i can do that. Oh i am ever gonna do that to people just vanish, see how they like it.
I flopped onto my couch. It was slightly wet now, He is great, and when i am around him, makes me wanna try harder and like i could do anything i wanted but he has the kind of personality that i can only take in small doses, the very extrovert kind.
Well i should get ready for the day.
