The Blast From The Past
The girl kept following him, and he didn't know why. Every time he looked over his shoulder that annoying little bop in her step irritated him to no end. He thought of spinning on his heel and pinning her to a tree with his sword, it would be easy since she was so frail, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. So he continued to endure her presence and that of the annoying bird, who would not shut up.
And then they arrived at a village. A small excuse for a modern settlement but a village none the less. Where they could restock for what little he could afford.
Suzu watched Sasuke silently and cautiously until something bright and red caught her eye. It was eye-catching. And then her stomach grumbled, loudly. So loudly, Sasuke gave her a dirty look.
It was a Ramen stand. And Suzu was drooling. Sasuke wondered if the universe hated him. Another ramen lover….a blast from the past. An unwelcome one at that.
So he did what anyone would do in that situation. He slapped himself on the forehead. Mentally, of course. However the physical action was tempting to say the least.
"Can we please?" Suzu piped up from under his arm, looking up at him with doe eyes that sparkled in the midday sunlight.
He slapped himself again. Mentally, of course. Even her eyes reminded him of that stupid fox...
He was about to say no, and then he saw Rurijo's evil glare. That glare would have set any hardened man in his place, even if it was from a bird less than an 8th of his size. So he gave in with a heavy sigh.
Little did the small group know, someone was watching them from the shadows…
