Return to Me/Giving In
(Kelly's P.O.V.)
It was a beautiful afternoon as we approached the gates of Konoha. The leafy trees had already turned their bright fall colors. Usually on Earth it would be winter, but right about now it seemed like we were only in the middle of fall. I liked the colors this time of year, even if I wasn't too keen on the dropping temperature, I'd probably just end up going back to Earth for the winter. The yellows and golds though, matched Griffin's coat very well. Speaking of Griffin…
"I wonder where she is." I said, "she usually comes to meet us." I said as we rode through the gates.
Then, as if on cue:
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME YOU-YOU-AUUUUGGGGHHH!!!! COME'ERE I'MA GONNA BITE YOU!!!!"
"Oh dear…" Baldwin said.
In a puff of smoke a boy appeared several feet ahead of us. He had relatively short black hair, wore a Chunin uniform and was brandishing a katana at….nothing.
"Nothing." Baldwin echoed in the voice of Dr. Robotnik from a Youtube Poop we had watched a while ago.
But it was right then that I saw what the boy was preparing to strike at. Almost too quick to follow, a yellow blur sailed from a nearby rooftop, slammed into the dirt and hit the ground running and swiping at the kid.
"Yer dead meat Sai!!!!" Griffin screeched.
"You ought to do something," Orochimaru said, "she's about to kill that boy…or worse."
I sighed, he was right. So I gathered two lungfuls of air and bellowed:
"GRIFFIN STOP!"
Griffin immediately fell flat on her but, overpowered by my command. Now I know how Kagome feels.
"He called me 'cat-bird'!!!" Griffin wailed.
"You said friends have nicknames for each other!" the boy shouted back.
I blinked.
"Really? You tried to nickname Griffin 'cat-bird'?"
"Be cool dude, I think he may be retarded." Baldwin said cautiously.
The boy look hopelessly oblivious to the potentially fatal error he had just made. I sighed again.
"Griffins hate being called 'cat-bird'. Everyone knows that…well, okay, not everyone. But everyone who knows her knows that."
Orochimaru smirked.
"You really shouldn't bait Griffin too much, she's more difficult than I am."
That said Sanpo the cat began to move forward and towards the Hokage's office. Now it was my turn to smirk.
"The trick is to tell him no sex for a week." I whispered to Sai with a wink.
"Is that so?" he said thoughtfully before walking off.
Griffin turned to me, a look of pure horror on her face.
"A-are you insane?! He' retarded! Now he's going to go and tell him that!!!"
"A-ha-ha-ha…" I stopped laughing. "Wait…really? Oh shit!"
Not wanting someone killed our first day back in Konoha, I urged Kisaki onwards.
So Sai almost gets himself killed and we establish the relative season in the land of fire. Also, the Youtube Poop referenced is my favorite: King Dedede Inhales a Negative Ion. I'll have another chapter posted really soon, I mean it.
