Sai
Man why'd she have to put them on the other side of town? I'll likely run into Naruto and the Hag now. Then I'd have to tell them were I was going and why the heck I wouldn't be showing up for missions for a week or more. Speaking of which I guess I should have asked if they knew I was coming... or how long they'd be here... oh well guess I'll find out when I get there.
Just a couple more blocks now and... damn of all times for me to take the route going passed Naruto's favorite place. In front of me is Naruto, luckily by himself. He had paused for a second digging in his pocket for something. I had frozen in place hopping he wouldn't notice me. Suddenly he finds what he was looking for and pulls it out of his pocket.
"Aha! I found you!"
I stiffen thinking he had finally noticed me, but relax again as I notice some money in the hand that he's now pumping in the air. Without even looking at me he starts heading into Ichiraku Ramen. Just before he enters though he says over his shoulder
"Hey Sai, bye Sai"
then continues in. I stay there starring for a second then continue on my way. When I finally get to the building I look at the paper again. Their on the top floor. I look up and wish I didn't. The building was tall... REALLY tall. I wondered how it had escaped my attention before. I got an an answer to that a few seconds later when I came upon a plaque telling the when or rather how the building was made... it was a jutsu... and was made just a week ago... I go inside and head for the elevator. After pressing the button , I wait... and wait... and wait... till it finally arrives. I get in, press the button for the twentieth floor then watch the doors close. Once they close I get the surprise of my life. It shoots up like a rocket and before I know it I'm there and flattened against the floor. Now this was extremely confusing since it took so long to just get down to the bottom floor but takes seconds to get to the top. It's probably better not to dwell on that topic though, so I get up off the floor and wobble out. The doors instantly close behind me and starts heading down again. Strange, strange elevator... I look back at the doors wearily then continue down the hall.
Gaara
Me and Saiyo are headed to Tsunade's office on the other side of town. Kaji had decided to stay behind at the apartment to get clean, since she was still covered in the creature's blood. For some reason Saiyo had gone silent for the past couple of minutes and looked like she was concentrating. Curious as to what she was being so serious about I go to ask but am cut off by her suddenly bursting out in laughter. Eventually she's laughing so hard she falls over and starts rolling on the ground. Now I'm majorly confused, so I ask
"What are you laughing at?"
Continuing to laugh she manages to gasp out
" HAHA gasp elevator gasp HAHA!"
This confuses me further but I just leave it and wait for her to stop laughing.
Sai
I finally had the elevator out of my sight. I think I'd rather take the stairs, or climb up the side of the building, than use that elevator again. I continue down the hallway until I come across a single door. In the distance I can see another but besides that there is only the end of the hall. Must be big apartments... I look at the paper and find that the door I need is the one I've stopped in front of. Turning to it I knock loudly and wait. Surprisingly quickly I hear footsteps coming to the door. They pause for a second just inside the door. Looking at the door closely I see a little peep hole, the kind used for seeing who's outside the door. Who ever is on the other side of the door must be checking who it was. Finally the door opens and standing in the door is a woman... in a towel and half covered in crusty blood. As if my day couldn't get any stranger a single cat ear perks up, making her head look a bit lopsided. Well that is until another one perks up on the other side. That was better... wait... Cat ears? Suddenly something starts moving behind her. As my eyes pass past her face though to the black blur I notice her expression has remained neutral but her eyes look impatient. Finally realizing what it is going back and forth behind her, It hits me who and what she is.
Kaji
I had just gotten into the shower and half washed off the blood encrusted on my skin when my sharp hearing detects foot steps coming down the hall. They were light and well placed so likely a ninja's. The ever elusive Mizukage had arrived before us and didn't want any visitors, so it was either a really stupid ninja or was coming to Gaara's and my apartment. I sigh, what an annoyance, get out of the shower and rap a towel around myself. I then head out the door just as a knock is heard at the door. If Gaara and Saiyo hadn't gone I could have had my shower in peace... but I guess important business is important business. When I get to the door I look through the peep hole. Outside is a male shinobi, he has black hair, dark eyes and has a Konoha head band on his forehead. His clothing is a bit strange for a male seeing as his top cuts off at about the same place his rib cage ends. Besides that and the emotionless look on his face he looks pretty normal, though what is normal when it comes to shinobi? Might as well find out what he wants. Judging from his chakra aura I'm more than a match for this ANBU but just in case, I hide a kunai under my towel, then open the door. The guy seems a bit taken aback as he sees me. I perk up one ear in question, thinking he'd get what I meant. He obviously doesn't because rather than saying what he wanted or at least introducing himself he stares at my ear. I then perk up the other and he sways back minutely, likely not even noticing he was doing so. My tail starts to sway back and forth as I start to get annoyed. Unfortunately this grabs his attention and he looks down at my tail. Now I'm really annoyed so my tail goes faster. The guy finally seems to realize what I am as he looks up at my face. His eyes have slightly widened giving him a semi-surprised look, which is oddly cute.
Gaara
We were on our way back from the Hokage's when a sudden chill runs over me. There's been a disturbance in the force... I then realize that something must be happening with Kaji so without an explanation I grab Saiyo, get on my sand, and go as fast as it will go towards the apartment.
Kaji
Suddenly the guy jumps back and points at me, his eyes have widened slightly more and I cross my arms over my chest as he says
"Neko!"
Unfortunately for him as he does so he bumps into Sakura, a medinin I had seen earlier being gawked over by a small group of guys. I had no idea what they found attractive about her. Her forehead is too big and well ok that was the only flaw I could find in her but of course I'm not really one to judge a girl in looks, having absolutely no experience in the normal girl things or telling what was 'hot' or not.Also she called me a guy... so that could have something to do with it... Well anyways as he jumps back and bumps into her they both end up falling to the ground in a heap of shinobi. Sakura starts yelling at the guy. The only part of it that could be understood though was
"SAI! YOU CLUMSY IDIOT! LOOK WHAT YOU DID! GET OFF OF ME!... wait... why are you here in the first place?!"
I look on in mild amusement as the guy apparently called Sai gets up off the ground and Sakura and says keeping his emotionless face
"Well Ugly I'm on a mis..."
He doesn't really get to finish his sentence because I suddenly cut him off by saying
"Finally! I've been waiting all day to hear that! I swear most of the guys in your village have the worst taste in women!"
Everything goes silent, while Sai looks over at me, Sakura looks at me with a shocked out of her mind look. Gaara then makes his presence known by yelling in surprise
"Holy crap! who got her to talk?!"
his eyes are wide and he's slightly panting. He looks back and forth between me, Sai, and Sakura over and over again until his eyes land on me for the fifth time and stop. His eyes widen even more as what I'm wearing sinks in and he stutters
"Ka--kaj! why are you only wearing a towel? I thought you were taking a shower!"
expertly keeping my emotionless face I reply dryly
" I was until he came to the door. Then I got out, put a towel on and answered the door."
Gaara then sighs and says
"Fine. Just get back in the shower, your still half covered in that creature you slaughtered' blood."
In response I nod then disappear in a burst of flame, leaving a pile of ash, that used to be a towel and a very shocked Sakura.
