Kurenai was trying to teach me a new jutsu she thought would be really good for me.
'False Surroundings Technique' it is what it says.
This Genjutsu allows the caster to change the visual appearance of a nearby object or the local area in order to disorient an opponent and make oneself or another appear to vanish into thin air or be invisible even before the opponent sees the caster.
I asked her for some kind that could be like a boost to my comrades but she could not think of one.
I find Gen fun and interesting but this was much different then what I was use to, it was similar to that tree fading one and yet it was harder then anything yet. It had more handsigns and relies on a perfect amount of chakra and a very clear mind so I was not doing very good, I was on my fifth time and started to feel really drained.
I could not even make a part of me vanish "I am sorry we have been here for age's" I flopped onto my ass just for a small break, she sat across from me and waited for me kindly "I can be so useless" A word that was starting to fade away from me but I felt it come back in force.
"Why do u call yourself such bad things?" I paused and thought about it as I frowned at the small clouds in the sky.
"Well" I looked at her "My ex had a big part in that" she looked interested in that fact. "He would call me dumb, useless and moody, he said said stuff like how he was the best I could ever do and over the years I believed him" I frowned "not that the people here thought much different so" I wrapped my arms around my legs.
She looked at me sadly "Why did you stay with such an asshole?"
"Well he was very good at manipulation, cut me off from everyone and I even stopped fighting back when he yelled at me, he tore me down that I never noticed how trapped I really was"
"So what finally made you leave?"
I smiled "I ran into an old guy friend from my teens and we went out to eat and catch up, was not romantic just a fast food place, he confessed to me how he thought I was awesome back in the day and wanted to ask me out, it made me think and I finally noticed how toxic he was"
"What happened with the other?" she leaned in with big eye's so into my story.
I smiled "I ran into him once again after I moved out and we went on a real date" the biggest smile on her face "well it went well and we kissed goodnight but it was kind of bad, just awkward and no connection" her smile faded but she understood "It was not meant to be and did not see him again but I fell here a couple months later"
"The last kiss from your world" she spoke wistfully making me nod with a small smile.
I sighed and slowly stood up "let me try again"
She nodded and stood with me "Don't worry as this is a tough one, you are doing nothing wrong" I looked at her kindly with a small smile "you just may not be ready for it yet but I wanted to see" I nodded again before I cleared my mind and calmed my breathing as I watched my chakra and tried to remember the handsigns while clearing my mind and it just was not working all together.
If I can't do anything in the next few try's I will give up for now.
I walked out of the Hokage tower with a smile and I looked up at the morning sky, I will be going on a mission with Kuro and Hayashi again, there will be one more but I don't care I almost skipped through town in excitement as I moved to get ready.
The leaf and sand are building a tower and they will scroll it like the kinds I have gotten through. It is an ally move and a high chance of a fight, and the tower will be filled with important information so it is an A rank mission. I was sent to test it something out and they are sending Kuro because we were once a team.
I have barely seen Hayashi these last few months.
I stopped by the coffee shop to have a real one before I am stuck with mission coffee's, stuffing a scone in my mouth I walked down the street where I saw Kiyo leaning on a wall looking at his feet with sadness.
I walked over and leaned on the wall as I looked at him and sipped my coffee "am I a bad guy?" he was so serious but stared at his feet "is that the reason you turned me down back then?"
I shook my head "no, you are not a bad guy, just the wrong guy, to me" He seemed confused at that but I was also confused at his strange mood.
He seemed so sad, like a small kicked puppy "you are cute, funny, your happiness is contagious and you are a great kisser" I smiled and nudged his arm "I don't know who is making you feel this way but it may not be worth it"
He finally looked up at me, his adorable smile and shocked eye's, I just gave him a kind smile and he looked like he would kiss me making me back up "Come on"
He sighed "she does not want me anyway" he sighed and looked around at the pretty empty street.
"Stop kissing other girls maybe" he suddenly looked like he understood something as he got real serious, he stood up straight and nodded before he ran off, I did not get much information but I gave a small astounded noise.
Someday's these hot ass men feel smarter and like they know the world but I am still shocked at how innocent most are just naturally in romance, I tend to forget even the most naughty ones may not be as dirty as I think.
Hayashi and I were standing at the gate waiting on Kuro, we stood there for a few minutes not speaking "how are things?"
He gave a small smile "amazing" I nodded back "getting everything I ever wanted and now I get to test out new scrolls" he looked at the sky "Akane is good for me" but he almost seemed sad at that comment but I just gave a big smile I am so happy for him.
I saw a tall but slightly older women heading our way with a big scroll on her back like Hayashi, she wore a light brown jacket that only had one arm down her left side, small black shorts like mine almost unseeable and knee high ninja boots, her black hair was short in a pixie cut that looked good on her, again another female to make me feel like trash, her chakra felt slightly familiar in a way and yet completely different but I could not place why I know it.
I glanced at Hayashi as his smile grew for his teammate.
She walked over with attitude before she leaned her hand on hip and stopped walking "well look who is early again" as she looked at him strangely before she looked my way and gave me a friendly nod "Lee, Ava?" her eye's moved to my arm but it was now covered in bandages.
"Are you related to the Lee clan?" she asked in serious but with a tone of rudeness.
"No, definitely not, my name comes from my world"
"Do you have a clan name?" I do but am unsure if I should tell people it, she noticed my nerves "oh, Hayashi has told me much but I was always curious"
I gave a kind smile and nodded "and you are?" I stuck my hand out.
"Noriko Nara" she took my hand with a strong shake, oh, that is what that feeling was, something about there chakra feels like I could be almost standing in shade, calm and cool, however it does not stand out completely as they also feel very normal at the same time, unlike the bug clan.
She looked around "We waiting on your old teammate?" making Hayashi nod "Well once we get there he will come with me on my side and Ava here will be with you as we get these down" she spoke with such authority, she commanded respect in the way she stood and spoke and I could not help but give it.
Kuro landed next to us looking angry like always "starting without me?" he joked but did not sound that way.
"We will run in a set line, Me to lead, Kuro for strength and Hayashi for range and she pointed at me, Ava for watching at the back" she spoke fast and clear "We should not fight as we head to an area between us and the sand where we are just scrolling a new building, unless someone wants to get into it before we do that but there is a high chance that may happen" I noticed Hayashi give me a strange side glance, I just focused on this women.
"It will be filled with information between us that is okay to be shared, not the rarest but still could be useful to others so they will guard and scroll" she walked passed us "we came up with some good scroll ideas" she glanced as me and she moved out right away. I boosted my senses as I ran behind them, my eye's went to look at Hayashi's ass but it was covered by the scroll but I still smiled at it as I missed this man.
We ran for a long time no stopping, I was yawning by the time we stopped and I was sent for wood for the fire. With my hearing I could hear the two of them chat about scrolls as I kicked over a big log to grab one underneath, I just wanted to drop my senses.
Kuro lit the fire and we started to cook but we sat in silence as I tried to understand what the other two were chatting about, I could not understand some technical terms but I did spot when Nara looked away Hayashi looked at her with this look. I glanced at Kuro who looked back at me also seeing it making me check her over again, she was beautiful, maybe four or five years older but that was not bad.
I was put on first and last watch but it gave me a uninterrupted sleep between them so I was fine with it, she really knows me and my skills. I moved to a good branch and got comfortable when Kuro landed beside me, kicking his feet over the edge as we watched them set up there beds pretty close to each other.
"So" I spoke in English "he really likes her" Kuro nodded with a smirk. We both sat there in understanding the drama that may show up soon as I looked down at the two trying to sleep unsure if they heard us speaking strange.
"Also why did you teach Kakashi" I joked with a smile.
"Kakashi asked and that man can talk you into doing anything" I nodded I have been there "besides it is nice having one more we can talk to" I nodded again with a small smile "I like having a secret language"
I agreed it is nice and it is better that there is one more person we can chat with like this, they both have a strange accent, in my world this one would not have been the hottest, I mean Irish, weew, but since I never hear English, I find it slightly attractive.
It felt like a long night when they woke me up for the second watch, I lied on a branch with a hand behind my head and just flung a small amount of water into the air where it would go back to normal mid air and then it falls onto my hand and I was able to turn it back into a small ball on my finger and then flicked it again. I did that until I felt the world wake up and she was up early, gave us some kind of bar for breakfast because she did not want to make a morning fire and we were running again.
I had no one to chat with easy so I was so happy when we took breaks This time we just dropped to the ground and sat around at the base of the tree's, I got a good spot feeling cocooned in a slightly destroyed tree, "someone had a fight here once" I spoke as I snuggled in.
I snacked and I looked over at the cute women "So the Nara clan?" she looked up at me "I never heard of a sealer in there, is it strange?"
She nodded "some think I am mistaken for not training in the way they do but my shadows make sealing much more useful" Hayashi hung on her every word "It keeps me well protected on the back lines" I nodded understanding "We may be mostly medicine but I don't care about that like the rest of them" I think that was cool "But sealing is kind of a dying art in the leaf village"
"Really?" It feels common to me being with Hayashi.
We gathered our things shortly before we got back in formation I walked next to Hayashi "so what are the kind of seals you are using?"
He looked down on me like I would not understand "you just need to test them" he shoved more stuff in his pockets and we ran off. I watched his back again confused as that felt a little cold.
We came to a steep cliff side and I just loved the view from here, I looked down in amazement, The sun was setting over the large forest and snuggled into the tree's was a small village. Big birds flew around as I watched them, they were far away but I am sure they are huge.
"Down we go" Nara spoke.
They ran down the side but I slid on my hand and feet as I made sure to cling just enough to slow a little, I always love doing this before I trusted my body and jumped into the forest below, after a big drop I landed on a thick branch with the others and we started to run to the town.
This was a poorer town with old looking buildings but with many happy people on the streets, I gave a look around and they had one small restaurant as we moved to an old small inn. We got a shared room that had overly used futon's for the floor, being in here I could drop my sense and man it felt nice not having to regulate it. She placed her's next to Hayashi's as they just chatted then she leaned on her side and held her head up as she laughed at his pun about something I don't understand.
Being a small room I put mine under Hayashi and Kuro moved his next to me under Nara, rolling on my chest I slightly Kicked out my knee while yawning as I watched his face. The other two never stop talking making Kuro give me a look and push my leg away, so then I shoved his close shoulder away before he shoved me back making me smile.
I gave him as much room as I could before snuggling in and trying to sleep.
I slowly opened my eye's from a peaceful sleep when I noticed I was cuddling Kuro again, I lightly pulled my arm off his chest and sat up rubbing my face, Looking behind me Hayashi was awake and staring at me with a couple scrolls in front of him. I stood up and stretched with a yawn before I moved to the door and I looked at him "coffee" I went to leave but he hopped up and decided to join me leaving all his stuff.
We walked silently as I was still not awake, I hope the small and only restaurant here sells some and is open, "You looked friendly with Kuro" that startled me, did he notice something in that sense, then again I doubt many teammates cuddle.
"It was nothing, something I did in my sleep" I gave the biggest kind smile "what about you and her?"
He suddenly got defensive "there is nothing anywhere, I have a girlfriend" he is blind, he can't see she is flirting back but he definitely likes her and I feel like there is more a connection with him and the Nara then with Akane, they have more in common, I don't hate Akane but she really likes to tell him what to do but without her he would still be a genin.
There is something different about him however, I just could not place, we came to a closed door as I pulled on it but they were not open and we were about to turn away when a lady unlocked it and peeked out "Well I am not open yet but soon" she looked around "what did you want?" as she eyed us up and down.
"Coffee?" I yawned and she nodded and let us in.
We waited for a new pot as we just stood there awkwardly in wait, she finally made us a couple small cups and we wondered out before trying it. I sipped it and made a noise "this is bad coffee" he nodded as he looked at his cup sadly.
"That green ass drink tasted better then this" he joked making me laugh as we headed back to the inn "you should just make your own" I nodded as we dumped out the coffee in a dirty looking corner and tossed the cups in a garbage when we were far enough away.
We started to joke about old time's and we ended up walking into the room in a fit of giggles, the two of them were up as Nara was looking at whatever he left.
We moved on not long after but she did not want to stop for me to make coffee, I was sad about that but I let it go.
The air was muggy today and I was sweating when we stopped by a small pond surrounded by trees, it was small but it even had a few smaller trees growing out of it and there was a layer of moss floating around so I wadded with just my feet. Kuro was leaning on a tree looking asleep as they started to pull out a bunch of scrolls and talked in words I could not understand.
Suddenly there was an explosion in front of Hayashi and got us all startled ready to fight, Kuro smirked at Hayashi's fail but Nara just freaked out over the burn on his arm and stood up fast. She called out to Kuro "help me find a plant" he ran off with a nod as she explained what one they were looking for and I moved over to him and checked him out.
It was not to bad, I have seen worse, it was mostly just his right arm. I saw him look to the area she left in, he looked like he just embarrassed himself in front of her "here let's put it in the water" I moved to grab his arm but he pulled it away and stood up.
"I am fine" He bent over and picked up a scroll that was slightly burned and a few of his papers were now destroyed, he made annoyed noises before he got pissed off at himself and kicked the base of a tree. I squatted down and tried to find some that could be saved "I am going to have to make them all over again" he looked sadly "that will take a few days again"
I pulled one out that was fine and handed it to him, he shook his head "of coarse this one made it, all it does is block chakra and pointless for a guarded tower" He flopped on his ass and grabbed his head "shit"
"Maybe I can help" I carefully moved stuff around.
"Please" he spoke with anger "you can't help"
I nodded "there has to be somthin..."
"You can't be this dumb" he stood up and looked at the sky but that made my heart sink as I stared at him stunned "I was your teammate I know how weak you are, you think you can help with hard to make scrolls" He looked at me and I dropped my eye's to the ground "this is an A rank mission, you should not be here, we could have tested them at home and now you are watching my back, please" he spun on the spot.
He looked at me like he was better then me and I could not move as my heart broke, I know he is ashamed, embarrassed and just destroyed it all, so I understand.
He flopped back down and waved his hand "go swim" I blanked my face and I felt the other's head our way.
I felt so insulted but again I know he was right.
Nora was here in a second and started to wrap his arm in the long pieces of plant that looked kind of like aloe vera.
I pulled one from the small pile she had and gave it a closer look, it was exactly what it was and already cut apart as she placed the wet part down. I lightly said it's name but that confused her "it is called Aroe" she spoke up and I nodded sadly before giving it back. After he was fine they started to freak over the scrolls, since they need to look them over and the area was to small and it may happen again we helped move there stuff to a more open place, we found a small field a bit away.
They needed to look at what is saved and what they can easily remake out here, she does not want to show up not prepared to do what they need. Since we will be here for a while Kuro and I went for wood and we placed it a bit away to keep the fire from them.
I slightly wanted to go back to the water way over there but the way Hayashi said that made me stop myself.
We sat there quietly, my senses were open and I could hear them easy as they talked, there was a small strange smell that passed by a few time's but it was quick and I could not place what it was but it was overpowered by these people and this fire burning, all I know is it did not smell like a person.
I did notice I could smell animal leavings but mostly wolf urine marking there territory.
"I can tell the difference between the piss of wolves and other animals" I mumbled a little weirded out, Kuro made a small chuckle and smirked at me making me smile back as I shifted the fire with a stick. We sat there quietly for hours as they did what they needed to do, I was sweaty and feeling gross and the moss covered water just over there called to me as it was so pretty and different.
I gave a few sad glances at Hayashi "What is going on?" Kuro asked in English and I just shook my head with a small smile.
I shifted on my spot many time's wanting to stretch my legs.
"Fuck him I want the water" Kuro looked confused as I stood up and walked away, it only a tiny bit away. I love water, I love swimming and I wont let him ruin that, I was unsure what he meant by that so I couldn't let it go like the rest.
I slowly waded to my knees and watched the wildlife around me when a fish tickled my leg and I jumped back startled making me giggle, I was about to walk back in when I smelled that smell again, it was like wood and space as I sniffed the air.
I don't know what space smells like, or if it even has one but it was the only word I could find for it, I breathed in deep and I noticed within that smell was the smell of a man.
My eye's snapped open and I went to move back to the others to warn them, stupid Ava, of course it is a person.
You damn idiot, A rank mission come on.
But there he was standing between us slightly above me in a tree, I could not see his face or chakra from this point but a shock wave went through me and filled me with fear, no, not one of them. The black cloak with red clouds floated around showing off this ninja shoes.
I stepped back and tried to look Kakashi calm, hoping I was succeeding.
His chakra was blocked so I could not feel the bloodlust he may have like the others. My mind went over every way I could get by him quickly and to the others when he jumped down gracefully his cloak swishing in the wind and I was startled as he walked over with swagger, I stared and this time it was not with fear.
This man wore a orange mask that spiraled into a black hole, It was the ground I fall to in my dreams before I pass into the hole, I know this well, I see it every time I dream about falling here.
He paused a few feet away and did not seem threatening and looked slightly relaxed but I can't see his face.
Is this the man who used the jutsu, he is still here? I had many questions I was about to ask when he spoke up and pulled me from my mind. "You look like him" he had a smooth deep voice before he moved so fast and my arm was in his hand, I pulled it back from this incredibly intimidating man, my heart was beating out of my chest as I got more space between us.
He was behind me as his hand wrapped around and tore off my wrap with such ease, I have more trouble with taking off my bra, he was then back in front of me with such speed I knew I stood less of a chance then I did before.
He ripped only the part in front of my tattoo as I tried to hide it but he saw and it was pointless.
"So you do exist" I swallowed at his dark words but there was an annoying change in tone, I did not like it.
"I could say the same thing" My mouth moved before my mind making me blink quickly at my stupidity.
"You know me?" his voice was creepier being so cheerful "how interesting"
He stood there with a cocked head in wait for something but I did not speak, I was to distracted by the mask and waiting for him to attack me when I heard him whisper about how 'Itachi was right'.
He took a few more steps closer making me step back, when he made a sudden shift closer and I stabbed him in the chest with my water automatically but all it did was go right through him like a ghost making me jump back twice with so much surprise, my feet slightly in the water.
"How rude" his high pitched voice spoke again, his hands moved behind his head as he leaned back a bit, he still spoke in the high pitched tone "There I was looking for a bounty and I spotted you" I just stared at his mask "but I am not ready" he slightly rambled.
I was unsure what he meant but I was worried about how I can't even hit this fucking guy, I am doomed I need to alert the others without starting a fight.
"One day" He squeaked out again before he vanished into the air like he was being sucked up and he was just gone.
My head looked around as I tried to find him in all directions before I looked up and then down unsure if he left or is trying to surprise me, I took the moment and headed to the others but his smell was completely gone. My heart running to Kakashi, wishing I could tell him about this or even just have him here.
My mind ran with questions, if he uses portals to do that and might be why he could get the jutsu to work, partially. I am assuming he wants to go to my world. I suddenly wanted to talk to him again, I did not take advantage out of fear "fuck" well maybe next time, he said there would be one, I landed into the open space as they looked at me and got up ready for a fight, I guess I am still to damn readable, damn that pisses me off.
I breathed out "My dream man is here" I spit out.
"Well that does not sound bad" Hayashi rubbed his face innocently.
"I would love to meet mine" the girl said jokingly.
I gave a small laugh but I was still rocked "no the man from my dreams"
They just did not get it, making me sigh and calm down "really?" I looked between the boys.
In worry he was still around we packed it all up and headed out, I warned them how these black cloaked guy's are not something you want to fuck with and she took my word for it. She was mad to have to finish this at the tower but it was the best option. She did mention in a way that if he comes back to fight or steal me away, he was not the mission and I would be left behind, I was sad Hayashi did not say a word at that but Kuro gave me a glance and shook his head.
Glad to know he would come after me.
Man what happened to Hayashi, where is the kind genin that just wanted to help, is this new or is he just having a bad few days?
Ryan's words floating in my head again making me pull bandages out and rewrap my arm as we ran, I think he was right and I never noticed how deep embedded in ninja's that its the mission over people, worrying me deeply.
Because of that long mishap it was pretty dark when we came to edge of the tree's pausing at a wide open area, it shifted into sand way in the horizon some strong winds blowing sand into the grass around us.
She headed more south and I followed far in the distance was a tall tower, so that means we are right on the boarder.
We came to a dark tower barely lit by the moon, the only light was coming from the thin windows. It seemed just like a new version of the towers I have been in many times. It was about three story's high and I am assuming an open roof to be able to see up high.
Four chakra's sat inside on the lower floor as she knocked on the door and we just walked in where they sat around the kitchen table playing cards, there was some empty boxes around but they were happy to see us and cheered knowing who we were. I wondered what Hayashi's plans were for this as I looked around, straight ahead the kitchen moved into a small living room with some nice looking new furniture.
One showed us to a room on the second floor where there was a big empty room with shelves and a table Nara pushed to the back, the area for scrolls and books that just have not come yet and they got right at it.
I dropped my senses as these men are loud and I can't smell to well inside a building.
This guy gave a look over as me and Kuro did not help them pull it all out, his brown eye's locked with Kuro's "You free?" he nodded before he looked between us "want to play" I smiled and we both nodded as we followed him back down the stairs.
I tried but I could not understand the game however I had fun anyway they were pretty funny, they mostly ignored me but I am in love with bromances, it is the cutest thing and these men had it with each other. There was two from leaf and two from sand, I forgot there names already and it was hard to tell two apart as three had brown hair, then there was one blonde and one brown with a nice beard.
I was yawning and I had lost track of time, they told me the barracks are on the second floor near the scroll room, Kuro got up and followed me.
We passed the other's as they worked and headed into the room but Kuro shut the door behind him as I tried to get into another stupid hammock, he took the one across from me and smirked as I was trying to balance myself into the damn thing.
"Come on" he joked as I almost flipped it but it made him laugh his beautiful laugh "how do you not get these yet" I giggled and then tried carefully to get in but I got it and got comfortable.
"It is not bad once your in it" I mumbled.
He got serious and we started to talk about my dream, my dream man and the fact he is still in this world when things felt extremely personal or secretive we spoke In English, we talked until I accidentally fell asleep.
I woke up to everyone but Hayashi sleeping in these hammocks, a few deep snores as I spun the bed and landed on the floor quietly as the only safe way I can get out of them. I wondered out spotting Hayashi passed out on the floor surrounded by scrolls, that guy can get so serious about them, I kindly stared at him wishing I could help.
I moved downstairs and poked around the kitchen, I was glad to see they had the best coffee maker and the best coffee, they really made this place homey but some people may spend weeks or months here at a time, I strangely would not mind this kind of job, a part of me wants to try it out.
I sipped my coffee and smoked alone at the table when I could see light coming in from outside, I almost drank the whole pot before making a new one and then I dug in my scroll and pulled out a lot of food I could cook, it was mostly all of it but there is a lot of people here and I did not want to use what food was here as I just drank a lot of the coffee.
The smell woke most of them up as a trail of sleepy half dressed men came down the stairs, I was smiling at them when one spoke up "there is nothing here yet to rob, hense the pajamas"
I moved to flip some eggs as I looked the four of them over "believe me, I don't mind" making two chuckle and the blonde came in close to take over and I let him. They filled there plates and I loved how even if they are from different villages they acted like best friends, I wonder how long they have been here for, did they have a part in building it?
Nara came down and made two cups of coffee "when will the scrolls be placed" One asked and she yawned "as soon as they can" she seemed defensive at the fact they were not as ready as they should have been.
She walked towards the stairs to wake Hayashi "he likes two sugar and one milk" I called out making her pause and look down before she made a noise and added them to his coffee before nodding at me and going up.
"I hope it is not to long as we are supposed to be there by mid day the day after tomorrow for the scrolls" one mumbled as another nodded.
"Can't help it really, it is in there hands" another spoke up sipping coffee, before they looked at me and I gave an awkward smile "you seal?" he asked.
"Not even a little" I sipped my coffee.
"She is the muscle" one joked as they looked me over, they were not mean and maybe I look tougher then I am but I did not want to voice that I was weak and only here to test scrolls to invisible chakra.
Kuro was not much longer and grabbed the little food that was left and some coffee, man these men can eat.
We all just hung around the kitchen and I enjoyed the more naked one's and I am sure they all noticed but I did not care.
I gave a yawn and made another pot of coffee before I pulled the leftover deck of cards and looked them over, they were not the same and yet had the same kind of set up as home, I wonder if it would be hard to teach them poker, what are other games that are easier.
"Any of you know the game Bullshit?" they shook there heads making me smile "would you like to learn?"
"Bullshit" the blonde man stood up slamming his hand down at Kuro's set, we had gotten really into the game.
Kuro smirked at him and showed what he put down and how it was truthful, he sat down sad as he was grabbing all the cards with a small 'fuck' under his breath.
"Can you stop yelling Bullshit down there" Nara yelled down the stairs making the blond one make a 'oh shit' face "sorry" he yelled up "so let's play a little quieter?" We quietly laughed and played for a bit longer but eventually they got up and got dressed to my disappointment.
I shifted and peeked into the living room, it was small and the couch was obviously brand new as I sat on it and bounced slightly, two brown haired men sat next to me on either side when a third one dove over us all and shifted around to get comfortable. They both pushed him off but he pulled one with him and then they started to lazily wrestle as I sat on the top of the couch for space, I feel like I walked into a frat house and I love it.
I never went to college.
I have only been in destroyed and old towers but I loved it like this, I did want to paint the plain white walls however.
The men started to worry around mid day, they need to leave by seven so they make it on time and may have to leave before the scrolls are set up.
I did move up the stairs to see what was going on, peeking into the room they were serious, there was a few new scrolls set around them and a massive pile in the middle. She was flirting with him slightly but I smiled at the fact he again, does not see it.
I scanned them over, they kind of look well together, I feel like an ass for voting for them to be together.
I moved more in and knocked on the wall as I peered around the room"How is it going? The men may need to leave soon" She looked up serious and nodded.
"Maybe a few more hours" she shifted something over to him and he started writing on it.
"Can I help?" I asked knowing it was a no, but I had to ask, stupid me needing to ask.
"Thanks but no" she said not looking at me I nodded and went back down stairs.
The blonde cooked around five for all of us as the other's cheered slightly as I guess he is the cook of the place, I was worrying when they got ready to leave, the bearded man patted my on the shoulder "see you later muscle" before they left.
Kuro and I just sat around the table thinking about a two person game we could play with the cards but there was nothing so I grabbed some chips and moved to sit on the stoop with the door open. "Do I keep an eye out? Will someone come now with nothing in the building?"
He nodded "someone may want to figure out the scrolls to get by later as now is the best moment to get a real look" I boosted them again and gave a real once over in the area but nothing strong, no smell, no chakra, no sound and being near the open sand it was real quiet here.
I heard them cheer up stairs, "I think they got something done" I mumbled and stuffed food in my mouth before I stood up as they came down the stairs, Kuro following with a blank face. They had the biggest smiles "okay let's do this as quick as we can, remember Ava on Hayashi, Kuro on me" before she paused "right first we need to" and she ran up the stairs to the third floor.
We walked into a small windowless room with a door that looks like the wall as she opened it with a push and it popped out, there inside was a small table where she hooked up three scrolls and attached them to a battery, she messed around with some kind of black bar and did some hand signs before she shut the door and put one over it as it faded into the wall "making sure no one will get in here while we do this, since the men are gone"
We made our way outside where we split completely in half as we ran north, running fast my eye sight was blocked as the tower sat right in between, my chakra sense's range was suddenly to far to see them, so we are on our own.
"We needed to do this with two but four would have done better but the rest of the sealing team is busy" I nodded and just waited to do as I was told.
He looked at the sky and adjusted us slightly "almost" he mumbled as he started to watch his steps.
He pulled out a big scroll and put it flat on the ground, I looked around as he did what he needed to do and he slammed down his hand as a sharp bright light moved quickly to the tower. "oo pretty" I mumbled.
He pulled out a second one and did that again but it took a little longer and then a third that also did that sharp light. Unsure how long that was he got up and we walked carefully in an arch around the tower to the east heading near the forest.
I did not say a word and he never even tried to apologize to me, acted like he never yelled at me, I gave a sad glance who knows how he feels about that as my mom and I would do that, get in a fight and then later act like it never happened and be family again, who knows he could be the same.
He made sure he stood in the right spot and pulled out the first of three big scrolls when I stiffend as Chakra quickly headed to us, "incoming" I spun in place and face them as two people headed right for us from the treeline.
"You will have to hold them off I can not stop" he sounded angry as I got ready to fight a sad look on my face.
What is going with you?
