Time for Tea
Kakashi and I were moving fast. I was still supporting him and he tried to play off the pain.
"I hope I didn't just kill him..." my thoughts worried.
Every time I glanced over at him he just give me a reassuring smile.
"Idiot, I'm suppose to be the cocky one"
Though we really didn't have a clue where we were headed besides a direction, we pushed on hoping that the two dimwits were almost back home.
"Kakashi?"
"hm?"
I hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"We have to make sure that this village doesn't suffer any more but, I don't want to lose someone else..."
"Sachiko. Nothing's going to happen so stop worrying, anyways this is the life of the ninja we have to get use to the idea of death."
"Idiot! I know that but, still. Don't do something stupid though. I can take care of myself so don't worry about me anymore. I'm not some little kid anymore!"
Kakashi's look was serious but, his eyes held a small question like a loving friend asking
"just where have the years gone?"
He let out a sigh and gave a nod.
"But just so you know I never thought of you as a weak child, after all you stole my mission."
I didn't know what to say so I just smiled at him. He gave me a nod and we push forward. After about 5 more minutes of running the trees slowly began to thin out. We ended up reaching the mountains that the Chief had talked about before. At the base of the mountain was a small cave opening and next to that opening was a group of people. Kakashi and I pulled behind a tree to hide.
"There to far away for me to see if there foe or friend." I whispered.
"Well we can't take them on if there as bad as the other two, we're injured and out numbered."
I peeked around the corner again making out 4 figures. They we're standing in a circle talking it seemed.
"well time to take your role back" my thoughts wandered
I let go of Kakashi and propped him against the tree.
"What are you doing!?" he said trying to get up and protest.
His anger showed on his face but, he hid it in his voice. They were still enemy, meaning ninja rule #1 element of surprise is your best friend. I gave him a smile then flashed away. I moved to a tree closer to the group hoping I could tell if they would attack or not but, they were still to far.
"Ugh" I muttered to my self
I had to be careful with a attack, if they were civilians I didn't want to hurt them but, if they were ninja then I had to immobilize them. I pulled out some Kunai knives and took a deep breath.
"I'll try for the taller one first, he's probably the most dangerous"
I stood up and attacked. I needed to move quickly so they couldn't see me or where I was going to attack from next. The first few I threw landed directly on target making me wonder if they were really ninja's at all. He pinned up against the mountain rock and layed still. I went on to the others before they had a chance to react. I managed to get a girl with 2 small buns on her head pinned half way but, the others where to fast.
"Behind!"
I pushed up before I could be smacked by a whirling kick.
"Wait..."
I landed on the ground and stood still. A long haired boy came at me ready for a attack. I smiled at him then walked over to the man I had pinned down who smiled back at me. The other boy who came at me with a kick yelled back at me.
"I thought you were fighting us. Rule #1 never turn your back on the enemy!"
"Actually that's rule #2" I said pulling my kunai knives out of the rock
I helped the other girl I had partly pined down and smiled back at her. She gave me a confused look but, didn't attack. I winked at the older man and disappeared. I laughed as the lower ranking ninja looked to there leader confounded. I got back to Kakashi glaring at me.
"You are in soooooooooo much trouble." He half yelled.
"Oh pish-posh. Come on crabby pants we have some friends to meet."
He was still mad and it was easy to tell but, he was curious to see who it was. I helped him to his feet and returned to the now sort of friendly ninja. I could tell Kakashi was in shock because his body tensed up.
"Well if it isn't my old buddy Kakashi"
