Part A

I thought back to the events of the previous night. Gestan had taken us back to his tent where he and Kakashi had talked for a long time. Kakashi now was sticking to me like glue. He was walking right next to me, eyeing the world as if it was a bomb ready to go off.

Grandmother Jerome had refused to tell us what she had seen saying that the spirits would punish her severely. I really didn't want to know though, but I had a feeling that I knew what she had seen. Kakashi had gotten mad. I could hear him slamming his fists into the walls, muffling his yells with his pillow.

I was careful not to do anything to dangerous, but that was the only thing I could do. This was the fifth day in the village. Day five, wow. My father was probably really made by now. I took Kakashi's hand in mine and started to run; tired of the way he was being overprotective. We went back to the gypsy camp. My heart dropped as I saw them packing camp. They waved and greeted me as if I was part of the family. I recognized a few people from the healing the night before.

"Where's Gestan?" I asked the pregnant woman from the day before.

"Over there by the woods." I headed off in his direction looking for Gestan. Kakashi's hand was warm in mine as I dragged him with me. I found Gestan sitting in a tree.

"Tenshi, Kakashi," He greeted us, jumping down. I laughed and wrapped him in a hug. Kakashi just shook his head. Gestan ruffled his hair, his eyes questioning.

"How are you?"

"Good, as you can see were leaving." I had noticed. I was hoping that it hadn't been true. Even after only a day I was already feeling close to the gypsy's.

"Leaving…" I repeated. Gestan smiled.

"We're gypsy's we can't stay still. It's not our nature." Gestan explained.

"He's right Tenshi." Kakashi was quiet. I looked up and nodded. I was happy for them. They would leave and see so much of the world. Gestan was living an envious life.

"Well, I'm glad I met all of you!" I threw myself at Gestan again. He put a hand on my head and chuckled.

"Goodbye little sister," Gestan smiled.

I ran ahead of Kakashi and Gestan. They were following behind. I made sure to say goodbye to everyone I saw. Kakashi was watching me happily. I turned and grinned at him.

The gypsy's were soon gone. I watched as they did. Kakashi stood with me at the gate as I waved at them. I would never forget them. I turned around followed Kakashi back to our hut. Toru-sensei was there. He was talking with someone.

"Hello you guys." He looked happy, but his poster was sad.

"Hey," Kakashi and I said in unison. I looked at him curiously. Yuusha walked out, forcing out a smile also.

"Guess what?" Toru-sensei put on an air of fake excitement.

"What?" I did not actually want to know. I had a sneaking suspicious of what he would say.

"Tomorrow, the new guards are arriving. We leave the day after." My heart seemed to stop. I stood still, trying to process it. Of course we were leaving. We didn't actually live here, it was just for awhile. I had been stupid. I really loved this town, but we had to leave.

"I…" I couldn't come up with an excuse though. I could not be happy. I walked out of the hut making sure to shut the door before taking to the gate.

I climbed to the top of the wall and started to walk the top. I felt like crying, but I would not. This village had brought me so much happiness. I looked up at the sky. I did not want to leave but I was only a small part of what this village would do. It would be nice to stay forever but then I would give up my dream. My dream was to become a great ninja and save many more people.

I brushed back my brown hair and gazed around at our accomplishments. Yuusha finally dropped down next to me. I smiled at him.

"You know that were nearly done with training." He pulled at his brown hair, looking at the village. I smiled. His green eyes where filled with intent.

"Yes, I know."

"It's been awhile since we actually talked." I had to agree. We never had too many one on one conversation. Everything had been getting worse at home and I had grown farther from my team before this mission.

"It has."

"Why don't you want to leave?" He knew it, everyone knew it.

"So you can tell?"

"Yeah,"

"Well, I've really grown attached to this village." He smiled, looking down as people got ready for bed for the night.

"Do not think of it as leaving the village. Think of it as leaving to save another village. While leaving this one to become stronger and better. We, as ninjas, made a difference here. We saved this town and it will grow." He knew exactly what he was talking about. He could be a knucklehead at times, but he was right.

"I think that's what I needed to hear, thanks." I leaned over and gave Yuusha a hug, lingering a second longer than I would have before the trip.

Part B

I made sure to search for any signs of danger in the world. We were going to visit Gestan, the man who had taken us to Grandmother Jerome. I had to make sure that Tenshi was safe. I was becoming paranoid and stuck closer to her. She had refused to tell either of us exactly what had happened.

I had gotten made and yelled, slamming my fists into the wall and screaming in my pillow. I knew it was childish, but I did not want anything to happen to Tenshi. I needed to protect her because I loved her and I would never let anything happen to her. After the vision incident I was scared that something bad was going to happen.

As it turned out Gestan had turned out to be a pretty nice guy. He was the leader of the gypsy's and told me that he had asked Tenshi to be his, but she had refused him right off the bat. I was happy, but I would never tell.

Tenshi was being careful now, mostly for me. I was amazing that we had already been at the village for five days. We where almost done with our mission.

Tenshi grabbed my hand and ran. I couldn't help but notice how small her hand was in mine. We got to the packing gypsy camp. I watched as Tenshi stopped to speak to a woman from the day before.

"Where is Gestan?"" Tenshi asked the woman smiled brightly.

"Over there by the woods." Tenshi found him fast. I gripped her hand a bit tighter as we passed Grandmother Jerome's tent. Gestan was happy to see us when we got closer to the tree he was sitting up in.

"Tenshi, Kakashi," He bounded down, full of energy. Tenshi laughed and hugged him. I shook his hand. Gestan ruffled Tenshi's hair like a big brother would.

"How are you?" Tenshi asked.

"Good, as you can see were leaving." Tenshi's face fell.

"Leaving…" She repeated quietly.

"We're gypsy's we can't stay still. It's not our nature." Gestan said.

"He's right Tenshi." Tenshi broke out into a smile.

"Well, I'm glad I met all of you!" She tossed herself at Gestan again. He laughed and patted her head.

Tenshi ran ahead of us, greeting people she had met. Gestan caught my attention with his angry gaze.

"I want you to swear to me that you will give your life to protect her." He was watching Tenshi as she hugged a woman.

"You are not the only one who worries about her."

"Yes, but you've better take care of her." Gestan said.

The gypsy's left and I waited with Tenshi as she waved to them. She did not shed a tear, but she did look down heartened. It was nearing the end of our trip together.

We went back to the hut and found a man speaking with Toru-sensei in hushed tones.

"Hello you guys." He said happily.

"Hey," I said, Tenshi said it at the same time. Yuusha walked out too. He smiled at us also.

"Guess what?" Toru said excitedly.

"What?" Tenshi asked equally excited.

"Tomorrow, the new guards are arriving. We leave the day after." I felt strangely disappointed. I looked at Tenshi. She seemed shocked, in fact a little sad. I watched her carefully to see the pain in her eyes.

"I…" Tenshi struggled for words. She turned and left the hut. I turned to chase her down. Toru-sensei grabbed my arm, stopping me. I looked up at him, angry.

"You stay and Yuusha go talk to her." Toru-sensei ordered. I tore myself out of his grip.

"What's the deal?" Toru-sensei waited until Yuusha had left before answer.

"The deal is that, Tenshi won't want to talk to you right now. You've spent too much time following her." I snarled at him, put on edge. I had not told him what had happened at the gypsy camp.

"What?" He knew something was off.

"It's true…" I cut him off.

"But, that isn't… it shouldn't…" Toru-sensei gave me a kind smile.

"What happened in the camp?" I looked up at him, needing to tell someone so that I would not bare the burden by myself.

"There was a fortune teller she wouldn't tell us Tenshi's prediction. She just cried and muttered something about poor child." I shivered at the memory. Toru-sensei looked doubtful.

"I see," He looked deep in thought, but I felt better having told him. He looked at me again, a smile on his face. "You like her, don't you?"

"If you count thinking only of her," Toru-sensei looked amused. "I close my eyes and I see her… her smile, her face, her hair, eyes. I can see her in perfect detail." He chuckled at me.

"You have a crush on her." He was way too amused by my thoughts. I glared.

"Point," He shrugged his shoulders, amused.

"Oh, nothing, it's just that I should tell her!" He seemed excited by the thought.

"No," I was horrified.

"Fine, tomorrow you are my slave!" He smiled.

"Aren't I already?"

"Good point, but now you're my official slave!" I really pitied him.

"Loser," Toru-sensei pouted.

"That isn't nice." He cried out.

"I pity you, really I do." I said in a sing-song voice. Toru-sensei just glared at me.
