A/N: Ok, I've decided, that since I've typed most of this all ahead, I'm gonna give out a chapter daily! I'm just too impatient! So, enjoy, and check back everyday! (After 3, preferrably.)

Waterfall Village: Jin, the Sneaky Brat

We did, indeed, clean the mess up. It wasn't fun though. We dumped the body in the nearby waterfall (The one I was going to jump off of.) My great mood swings helped me get over killing my best friend and all.

Besides, a voice inside my head tempted me, this gives you a perfect chance to break off all connections with your village and make new friends. True. But it was still a little mean.

We continued our walk. Not much happened so far. We've been traveling for 2 days, and we were within good distance of the Waterfall Village. Feeling a bit playful, I turned to Lee and challenged him. "I bet I can make it there before you!"

"No Way!" He laughed back. "You may be a Chuunin, but I bet I've gone through more training."

"Wanna bet?"

"Alright! Last one to get there buys lunch."

"You're on!"

I stretched my legs a bit first, and then got ready. And when Gai said "Go!", I shot off down the road, but Lee was past me in a flash. "Wow! He's fast! But I can be faster." I made the hand signs, "rat", "Tiger", "bird", and said aloud, "Speed Technique!" My Legs were suddenly full of chakra, and I shot forth, past Lee.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha!"

I was going so fast, that the world was a blur around me. We weren't that far from the village, so I tried to stop and skidded, about half the way. When I finally stopped, I fell to the ground, in the middle of what seemed to be the village. There was the sound of running water. I looked around. Behind me was a great dust cloud and a parting in the ground, where my feet were. All around me, people were staring. I heard whispers of, "He suddenly appeared out of nowhere" and "Wow! That was fast!". Apparently, I didn't stop in time. I was already in the Hidden Waterfall Village.

I smiled at everyone, and then followed the trail I had left. I found out that I had ran straight through a fence. I wonder how far Lee and the others were. My knees buckled and I fell to the ground. That technique really did waste chakra. I'd better learn to control it more, but at least it was worth the free lunch. I shakily got up. I saw what I thought was Lee, but it was only a traveler. He asked me what this long trail engraved into the ground was. I told him I didn't know, and asked him where I was. Apparantly, I wasn't in the Waterfall Village, but in Jukokuu City. I must have passed up the Waterfall Village. I really need to control that technique better. I may have gotten my body fast, but my eyes weren't able to keep up. Well, I needed to get out of this city and find the others.

As I was walking by I saw a little boy sitting on the ground near a shop. He had ragged clothes, and he wore a sign that said "Will work for food". I assumed he was a beggar child. He looked only 8 years old. I could tell by looking at him that he could be handsome, if it weren't for the fact that he was so dirty. His light brown hair was all messy. Even though he called out to passing people, no one even glanced at him. I felt sorry for him. I went to a nearby grocery store and bought a loaf of bread. I walked back to the kid and handed him the bread. He looked up at me with big, watery eyes.

Aaaaawwww! He was so cute! The poor little thing, how could people pass him up?

"Sank you, sah!" he said with the cutest child-like voice, as his face lit up. Now he was even more cuter. HANYAAAAANNN! I just wanted to hug him so tightly his head would pop off.

"What's your name kid?" I asked.

He answered plainly, "Me name's Jin, sah! Wha be yoh name?"

I told him my name.

"Are yah a ninja?"

I told him yes, and quite proudly. For a moment, I thought I saw him smirk evilly, but his face was cute and inoccent as always. "Where's your home, Jin?" I asked.

"I ain't got no home," he answered with the teariest look in his eye. It made me want to hug him even more.

"Do you want to travel with me, for a little bit? Until, we can find a nice, new home for you?" I asked, completely forgetting my mission.

He nodded his head exictedly. "Why yes! I would ju' luv dat! But may I go ge' me stu'. I left dem in me hidin' spot. I'll go fetch 'em and be right back in a jiffy!"

'in a jiffy'? Who says that anymore? He ran off, but never returned. Instead, a much nicer lookin' kid came up to me a few minutes later and said, "Alright! Let's go!" I answered him with a curious look, "Do I know you, kid?"

"Not really, we only met, just a few minutes ago, but you do know my name, and its Jin."

I had a completely lost look on my face. "B-but...you look completely different. I thought you were a beggar child!"

"I'm not."

"What! You little loser! You lied to me! How dare you! I'm not taking you with me!"

"Why not? You promised you would take me with you until we found a suitable family for me to stay with. I didn't completely lie. Its true that I have no gaurdian, so I have no home. Its your fault for assuming I was begging."

"You had a freakin' sign!"

"So what? I may have wanted to save up money."

"Well,..uh..wha-you little-"

"Now, lets leave, lady."

"L-lady? I-I'm n-n-not a lady? Remember, you kept calling me 'sir'."

"Oh, stop pretending. It was easy to tell with you blushing, and fretting over me like that. And with a chest as big as that, its quite obvious."

My face lit up. "Why you little pervert! You're not cute at all!"

"I don't care. Now, lets go, Big Sister."

ARRGH! This kid was really ticking me off! But I had no choice. I did say I was going to let him travel with me. First family I see and he is gone! "Fine!" I humphed at him, and began walking out of the city. After, we had walked some way, I asked him why he was even wanting to come with me.

"Because you're a ninja," was his answer.

"Why do you want a ninja?"

"None of your business."

"Apparantly, it is."

"I don't feel like telling you."

"Well, start feeling like it."

"What are you gonna do if I don't?"

"Oh, trust me. I know how to torture people."

"Like what?"

A smirk grew upon my face. "Like", I stuck my finger up my nose,"the 'booger' torture!" I began chasing him around with a nice, juicy booger on my finger. He screamed and ran away from me. I followed him, laughing evilly. Maybe I'd keep this kid around to torture him a little before I dump him off somewhere. After he screamed "OKAY! OKAY! I'LL TALK! I'LL TALK!" I wiped the buggar on a nearby tree, with a triumphant look on my face. He stood upright and fixed his shirt. He glared at me. "That is a complete and utterly immature torture technique."

"You didn't seem to think so before."

"Humph! How absurd!"

"Shall I get another one out?"

"Oh, PLEASE NO!"

"Well, then. Moving on, do you know where the Waterfall Village is?"

"Yeah."

"Then lead on, my little loser!"

"Shut up!"

He led the way, and in no time we were in the Hidden Waterfall Village. It was a really cool place. To get in, we had to enter through a cave behind a waterfall. I was really surprised he knew where the entrance was. When I asked him about it, he refused to answer. Even the booger torture didn't work, so I didn't press the matter. It wasn't as big as Konoha, but it wasn't small, either. It was beautiful with a glimmering lake in the middle. And in the middle of that, there was a big tree. I mean, it was HUGE! I looked around the place for Gai and the others, and eventually found them sitting in a sweets shop. They were surprised to find me. TenTen asked me frantically, "What happened? Where were you?"

"I'm sorry. I overdid the technique a little and ended up in Jukokuu City, which is nearby. And it wasted a lot of chakra, so I kinda,...lingered there for a bit."

"Who is the kid you have with you?" Lee asked.

"Oh, this guy? He's Jin. Just some beggar kid I picked up in Jukokuu City."

"I'm not a 'beggar kid'," Jin said angrily, "And you shall address me as 'Master' Jin from now on, or I will tell everyone your secret."

"What secret?" I asked him. "Oh, you mean the fact that I'm a girl. They already know that. But I thought you said it was 'obvious', Jin? Trying to use an 'obvious' secret against me? Fat chance, kid."

He glared at me, and maybe even growled. Neji didn't like the idea of having Jin around. "Why did you bring him? Have you completely forgotten about the mission? Your mission," He exclaimed at me.

"What? No, of course not! (Yes.) He won't be that much of a bother. Its okay, as long as we keep him out of danger."

Neji was about to protest more, but Gai stepped in. "Quiet down. We need to leave here as soon as possible. The more time we delay, the more time Sarafu's village is in danger. Who knows whether or not danger will return?"

We all nodded, and headed out of the village. That night, while everyone was sleeping, Jin snuck around. He searched through all our stuff, but didn't take anything. But in mine, he found something even better. The following morning, I woke up earlier than everyone else. But Jin was up even before me. He probably didn't even sleep, I thought. I greeted him good morning, but I didn't like the way he greeted me back. "Ok, what are you up to? What did you do?"

He smiled mischievously. "I know about 'it'."

My face went pale. "You little brat! You went rummaging through my pack didn't you?"

He nodded. "And if you don't do what I say, I'll tell everyone about it."

...to be continued.
