"Turn and run when all I needed was the truth..."

"Yeah RAMEN!" Naruto said for about the third time in the last 15 seconds. He and Sasuke and Sakura walked with Rue and Roy to the Ichiraku ramen shop. The Genin didn't really speak to Rue OR Roy except the occasional " SHUT UP NARUTO! Sensei Naruto wont's SHUT UP!" from Sakura. The five walked into the shop and Naruto struggled to hold his enthusiasm (A.N. SP?) Rue and Roy sat down and Roy smiled oddly at the three genin. "Five pleases, ma'am." He looked at the woman behind the counter and smiled. The woman, aged about 15-18 blushed lightly and walked to get the ramen prepared.
" Well well well." A man's voice said from a seat to the left of Rue. "What brings military rats to this part of the fire country?" The voice belonged to a man no other than Orochimaru-sama himself. (A.N. He's not evil either. Just a jerk.)
"That sir, is none of your concern." Rue said coolly. She didn't look at Orochimaru or even acknowledge his physical presence. All that was there was the stone hard look of Ruaki Kamikage.
"Oh really. If that's how it is, excuuuuuse me!" He said sarcastically. Roy at this point realised the sand many people had tracked in on the floors began swirling slowly and Rue's hand began to shake gently.
"Rue, calm down." Roy said firmly, setting his hand on her shoulder. "Please. Calm. Down."
"Oh, what's wrong? Is strong ever so loyal little Rue throwing a tantrum? Tsk tsk." Orochimaru said, egging on Rue's temper.
"Don't make me mad, snake-face." Rue said still sounding calm. Sasuke and Sakura looked on intently, sondering about the outcome of this. They had seen Orochimaru make many strong men 3 or 4 times his size angry and beat them. Naruto would've said something but it's rude to talk with your mouth full. Besides, it's hard to talk with your head in a bowl, too.
" What's wrong? Is a military alchemist going to be able to beat me? Especially since I have chakra flowing quite constantly through my veins? Hmm? What are you going to do? BREAK MY ARMS AGAIN? HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaH! Ha!" Orochimaru saw this was going just as he wanted it to.
"No thank you." Rue said venomously. "I got my fill of watching you scream in pain the last time, Oro-san." She smiled, shadow over her eyes.
"Grr... " Orochimaru hated Rue. For acting so calm and cool about EVERYTHING. But, he was persistent.
"Sasuke-kun, what's going on?" Sakura looked at Rue verbally abusing Orochimaru and the sand swirling in tiny tornadoes on the floor. The inner Sakura screamed, "That woman can't be trusted! Grrr.. LET'S JUST GO PUNCH HER!"
"Sakura, the thing is, this military Lieutenent, this average person... she has chakra, tenketsu in her body. She is a Shinobi. Not a normal military hound." Sasuke used the Sharingan and sure enough, it was true. The chakra flow in Rue's body was sure and strangely enough, controlled.
" Come on Rue. If you really ARE the great fighter everyone says you are, hit me. Come on! Or are women to WEAK to hit?" Orochimaru grinned at Rue's reaction. Rue had stood up facing Orochimaru.
"What did you just say?" Rue said, her fists shaking. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" The sand on the floor began to swirl harder, higher.
"I said, are women to weak to hit? Wait, don't answer that. I know it's true." Orochimaru celebrated on the inside.
"I am sorry but I'm going to ask you to leave, Orochimaru. You are distubing the peace and being a real jackass." Rue said, realizing she was only giving him what he wanted when she got mad.
"Oh, so if that's how it is, I'll take my leave." He walked to the door. "Baka teme! Anata baka joro! Anata tame, Roy-baka!" (A.N. That means Stupid bastard! You stupid whore! You too, Roy!)
"Leave." Rue said, casting a short glance at Sasuke, noticing he was watching her with the Sharingan. "Leave NOW. Baka-Hebi.""So cold and harsh. Tsk tsk. What are these children going to do when their protection is beaten at her own game?" Orochimaru laughed softly, venomously. Rue stood in one spot, trying to keep herself in check without exploding and killing Orochimaru.
"Grrr..." Sasuke stood up and faced Orochimaru. "They're not our protection. They're our SENSEIS." He smiled when rue flashed a thumbs up at him behind her back.
"Yes. I'm a sensei. You know what that means." Rue did a series of hand seals. "Chidori!" She smiled as Orochimaru looked surprised beyind all reason and walked out the door, casting glances back to see if Rue was following him.
"Perfect timing! Good job, Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said smiling.
"Yes! Good timing, Sasuke. Good job." Rue laughed. "Did you see the look on his face?"
"That jerk! I'll show him! Stupid snake. He can't call MY sensei a baka believe it!" Naruto said loudly.
"Naruto, he's gone. No need." Rue smiled. She looked at Roy. "You're awfully quiet. What's on your mind, Mustang?"
"Well, I never saw you use any jutsu of any kind. I thought you were making it up about your bloodline. I guess I was wrong to underestimate you." He said, staring into space.
"Oh well. It's getting late. Finish your ramen and go home to bed, you have a hard day of training tomorrow. Believe it." Rue said standing up and walking to the door of the ramen shop.
"Believe it indeed."
