Now You See Him…: The Tale of Fuma

You can't see me at all. I'm Fuma. I'm hidden, completely out of your reach. Ha, just try and find me. Only a fellow shinobi could possibly scout out where I am. I'm a master at disappearing, but then again, I am a ninja. Did you expect me to be an easy prey? Well, I'm not. I'm as silent as the grass and as invisible as air. I move as quick as a deer and I can become as still as a rock. You cannot see me, my name is Fuma, and if you want my assistance, it's going to cost you.

Uh… wait a second…

This can't be right…

Where am I supposed to go? The map says "you are here", and yet, I don't know where "here" is. Oh dear. I seem to be lost.

Where am I? This place is so big and so gigantic that I shall never find my way around. Oh dear. It seems… no, that can't be right. Can't be! I'm a ninja! Ninjas don't…

Rats. It's true. I'm lost! I don't know where I am! This is nonsense! Ninjas don't get lost! This is absurd! We're supposed to make others feel lost! We can't lose ourselves in the mists of confusion! Ack, where am I?!

Hm… what to do? All right, I'm lost, and I don't know my way around. Urk, I need to use the bathroom. And I'm getting hungrier. It's starting to grow dark, too. Well, what should I do? Hm…

Okay, I think I'll ask somebody for assistance.

"Excuse me, sir?" No answer. Huh? What's wrong?

"Ma'am? Ma'am, will you please help me?" Nothing! She walked right past me, almost as if she couldn't--

………

Oh, no.

Hahaha…

………

…She can't see me.

He can't see me either.

Nobody can see me!

But, I'm lost! And I need to be somewhere! And I need to eat and use the bathroom!

Help! Somebody help me!

They can't! They can't see me!

Help, I'm lost! Help, please!

Nobody even knows that I'm here!! I'm lost! I'm lost! Nobody can see me! They can't see me at all! I'm invisible! They can't see me at all! Not at all!
