"Fu- chan, answer me!" Aiko continued to pester me into answering. Miato shut her up with a glare I was about to open my mouth when our sensei told me to speak since Ren was now with the group. 'Slow poke' I mentally joked.
"There are two groups of ninja up ahead, if my guess is correct it's just a normal gennin team straight out of the academy." I couldn't tell them that I was certain that they were that rank because I really don't want them to question me too much about it. The group nodded and started coming up with ideas on how to deal with them, they were most likely just out on a simple D ranked mission and we wouldn't have too much trouble getting out of the sticky situation if it happened.
"Since we are assuming that it's a new gennin team why don't we have Fuyuka and the clients walk straight ahead and see if they do anything the others who split off in another direction can act." Ren suggested. The others had agreed since they couldn't come up with anything better, putting the plan into action took less than five minutes because all they were deciding on which person would go where and when they had that they told me to go with Aiko and Miato. Jumping from tree to tree we managed to get past them barley when once stopped us once we were half way past them.
"Who are you and what's your purpose here!?" a male with slicked back black hair asked.
"We are heading to Yukigakure and this was a shorter route." I spoke concisely and clearly to avoid misunderstanding which happened a lot with our group because Ren was always the one to speak first even when we told him not to, and he also had a way of stuttering when put under pressure.
"What makes you think we're gunna believe that." The man spoke again. I sighed slightly. I thought Aiko and Miato where famous in this region, how come these people don't recognize them?
"Those two." I pointed to them in hopes that they would say anything or at least jog some memories over there. The nameless man had 'tsked' at me and started to make hand signs for a jutsu. Ehhh, so much for that approach I was hoping to get out of there without any fighting. Sigh, sometimes I'm so unlucky that it's not even funny. The man had finished his signs and slammed his hands on the ground making it rumble. Soon the rumbling got so loud that it began to sound like a roar coming from the ground when a ball of mud shot out of the ground; taking the shape of a dragons head. After seeing this Aiko and Miato had started to shake while holding out a kunai. It was easy to see why they were scared they were performers not ninja and were not used to seeing this at all. The dragon was opening its mouth and was about to shoot what seemed to be mud balls at Aiko and Miato.
The dragons head had shot mud balls from its mouth so I had made the necessary hand signs for a transportation jutsu and grabbed them placing them out of the way so they wouldn't be hit with the balls of mud; that exploded as soon as it made contact on the ground where we were standing previously. That and I would have been no use in fighting him since he seemed to be a doton user and water isn't the best against that. Although I do know a few raiton style jutsu's it wasn't going to be enough to defend against them, maybe enough to catch them off guard.
"What are we going to do now Fuyuka?" Aiko asked quietly still shaking and scared.
"Make a little distraction." I offered weaving more hand signs and smiling out of all the raiton jutsu's I knew this one was one I liked the most; mostly because of the name its self. "Raiton: Ikazuchi no kiba" I whispered placing my hands together. Concentrating on sending lighting essence into the clouds and at the spot where the man was standing.
"Come on out and play with me." The man had called out in a cocky manner; it wasn't soon after he had said that the lighting strike had rained down in the area he was in. It wasn't long after the lighting strike that I heard people yelling to be released, so I assumed that was the other teams because it didn't sound like my team and Ren tends to be very high pitched when he gets trapped in things especially in water prisons.
"Fuyuka, Aiko, and Miato it's safe to come out now" Aiyuna sensei had called out. I walked out pulling them with me and over to Aiyuna sensei who had her hand in a water sphere. Yipp they had caught them in a water prison with their heads sticking out the top of it. The enemies' sensei's had introduced themselves and apologized well the female one did but the male sensei was still mad that I hit him with lighting. His hair was a bit fried and I think that he prided himself on his hair; since he was patting his hair down. They said that there was a group of people who were coming in their village and they were sent to investigate with their pupils. We just nodded and released them on the condition that we are able to pass without any more trouble. And with that bit of excitement the trouble was over with for the rest of the mission and we made it to Yukigakure within the same day.
When we got to Yukigakure Miato had pulled me to the side and said to the others that he wanted to talk to me alone and that they should head to an inn to get a room for the time being.
"What would you like to talk about, Miato?" I asked walking with him and watching as my breath came out as a fog before dissipating into nothing.
"I want to thank you for getting us out of the way and I would also like to know what you plan on doing now." Wow straight to the point I guess that's a good thing but it was kinda obvious he was going to ask me that when the others were nowhere near. I mean he did spot that out the second we left Amegakure.
"I am going to head ahead of my team home and maybe take some detours to get home." I said looking at him.
"You're not going to head home are you?"
"You caught me." I laughed now looking up placing a scarf around my neck "I don't plan on heading home, but I still wish that you don't mention this to anyone till they are gone from here."
"Where would you go? I don't really think that many places are accepting of rain ninja." I sighed that was true but I didn't have to tell the truth and tell most places that I was from there and besides I was heading to the one place that would most likely accept me even though I'm from Amegakure.
"I don't know, but I will find a place." I said walking into a little shop that sold warm drinks and pastries, "do you want anything Miato?" He shook his head no. after getting his response I started talking to the cashier.
"I would like a Chai tea, please." I asked politely
"Sure thing miss." The cashier had responded and called out my order to the other person working with him. "So miss, where are you from?" he asked making small talk.
"I'm from a small village in the land of fire." I lied hiding my head bands silver plate from him. He nodded and spoke again asking me questions that I'd rather not answer but instead of not saying anything I had politely refuse to answer any more of his questions. After ten minutes had passed I had received my drink and made my way to the table Miato was sitting at. After sitting we talked about random things, nothing important. Other than getting interrupted every now and then because girls were coming up and wanting to talk with Miato. I sighed every time a girl had made her way to the table. Being famous must be a lot of work; work that I would rather not do. Miato had told me that he was going to leave, not wanting to be bugged by his fans since he just got back and was exhausted from the run in with the ninja earlier today.
I was no alone at the booth staring out at the snow lightly falling down from the sky and as children played in it as if there wasn't a trouble in the world. Almost made me wish I could go back to a time like that, before all the time I spent training to be a ninja being able to play like no tomorrow.
~3rd Person~
As the midnight blue haired Chuunin sat at the booth of the local pastry store sipping on her tea and planning out her trip, her team was beginning to wonder where she went.
"I wonder where Fuyuka is?" A chocolate haired Gennin asked his sensei.
"I don't know, she was good at hiding her chakra from us even Fumiko." His sensei responded "but shall we go see if we can find her." The sensei asked her two students next to her. They all nodded and began to make their way out of a semi run down hotel that they checked in for the night before their trip back to Amegakure. They decided that they should ask around, at that moment the chocolate brown haired boy was grateful for having a picture of Fuyuka with him. Fuyuka was his crush and did everything to hide that from her but he was sure that she knew and chose not to say anything. As her group began their search for her she was already near the frozen forests of Yukigakure making her way to Konoha the birth place of her father and her new start on life.
"Ren!" his sensei called out gaining his attention who was now looking out into space with a chill that ran down his spine; no not the chill from the cold but the one that said something wasn't right or something was going wrong.
"Yes Aiyuna-sensei?" Ren had snapped his head in her direction.
"You have a picture of her right? If you do that is going to be helpful," Aiyuna had started explaining "because I don't think that people are going to recognize her based off our words." Once he nodded they made their way around the village asking every person that was willing to listen to the ninja's pleas. Meanwhile in the frozen forest Fuyuka was half way through when it started to get dark. She sighed heavily. She certainly didn't want to sleep in this cold for the night so continued on only to stop when she noticed something curled up in a ball shivering. The thing was small and next to a tree, the thing on the other hand had noticed Fuyuka before she had even spotted him.
"Uhhh, excuse me." Fuyuka spoke to the thing curled up trying to gain its attentions. The figure that was curled up had ignored her attempt for he thought that she was going to yell and hit him, then walk away laughing at the poor boy. But when she did no such thing he poked his head from underneath his ragged blanket to see the midnight blue hair woman. He just stared at her watching while she moved around gathering branches and twigs then clearing a spot of snow so it wouldn't melt when she lit the fire.
"What do you plan on doing Miss" came the timid voice of the boy to which she just smiled to the boy and responded "secret" and winked before snapping her fingers and having sparks of lighting jump from her fingers to the wood below surprising and amazing the boy.
Ren and his group in the village were having no luck finding their teammate they were about to give up when they ran into Miato their client and the person who was last to see Fuyuka.
"Miato-san!" Ren called out running to the blonde haired man who seemed a bit surprised to see them out and about. He smiled at them almost seeming to know what the boy was going to ask him. Although Miato wanted to tell her teammates what she was up to he was going to keep his promise and told them what the last place she was at with him before he left to go home. It was the sensei who had told them that it was getting late and that they should head back reminding them that she was a smart girl and would find her way back.
