Clear or Shady

we know what we see and can understand even more so if it can be felt by the hand.

but when there is only words, sounds, thoughts , and images that are the illusions toys it is only that we are doubtful of ourself and those that stand on land.

for if we really knew that these are the world instead of what we see. the joys we would know more than what we seem to fear not to understand are you like them

( A.N. I just went back to look and I saw that the chapters are SHORT .. has sad moment ok well I'm short and I'm sorry if you want more in each chapter. I know I do so I'm going to write more in each chapter but I don't know if it that is in my possibilities as whatever I am so hopefully I will have this will be a longer chapter and the start of longer chapters. So that at least that it don't look like a blog of sorts any way here is chapter six. Comment if ya feel like it )

Sigh. "They can surely take their time ..by why am I waiting for them when I'm would be better off if I just went...but then are they people that I fear to be around ..those who can acutely smile with out looking at me twice ... or am I look at what I want to see.."...WHO THE HELL WROTE THIS BOOK!?!?! I oddly felt as if I was being watched and near by too. I raised my eyes to find the source and met with the most fighting thing I might have know outside my village. It face was clearly enraged by the fire like shining in the eye. I lowered my book and gave Kakashi a curious look. Hehheheh I wonder what he will say0.

I oddly felt as if I was being watched and near by too. I raised my eyes to find the source and met with the most fighting thing I might have know outside my village. It face was clearly enraged by the fire like shining in the eye. I lowered my book and gave Kakashi a curious look. 0.

"WHAT.. THE ...HELL ARE YOU DOING ...WITH MY BOOK ?!?!?!" ,was the near deafen roar that I got from him...the reaction I was looking for. The others turned frightened from their drowsy state to the commotion.

" Who me? I'm just waiting for everyone else to finish being sleepy. Also enjoying a bright and sunny day. It is getting warm." ,I say trying to regain my hearing at the same time ,"But mostly I'm reading MY edition of Make Out Paradise."

He looked like he was going to slaughter a bunny; cold heartless, the look that war lords gave before a battle. At the same time he turned from his pale color to six different shades of red ,"YOUR BOOK !?!?!?"

Now it is my turn to get alittle angry ..he is almost calling me a liar. But this would be another good time to be some what smug and I know the perfect way to; but this would required some surprise. Calmly I got up.

"Of course mine" ,I say sweetly as honey. I quickly wrap my arms around him, he becamed stiff. The left hand checks the right side of his chest. While the right hand checks his kuini bag that rests on his left hip. It brushed his left hand that went to get some weapons out of instinct. This rummaging takes about two and three-fourths seconds. When I finish I quickly back away. In my hands is his edition. I look at his face. He went from angry red to a surprise to a fierce blush to again angry look. For a nano second I saw shock and shame when I revealed the book.

"See this one is yours. You had it in your chest pocket." ,I say like a child. I hand it back to him with a bow and respectful manner. "Sensei." I know if one is to tease a leader or older member of a group it is wise to show respect quickly. He took it back with what seemed to be a smile under his mask.

(P.O.V. Narrator)

This is a very odd girl...Im glad that we will complete the mission soon but I wonder what is left to discover of this girl. She obviously is extremely observant of the groups motions and opinions ,Kakashi turned away to the others who where recovering from the odd moments. "Ok well since you all are back. We are leaving." ,He announced with his usually mellow tone. With that he grabbed his belongs and began in the previous direction. The others quickly did the same.

"So Melangell why are you going to sand village any way? Hmm?", asked Sakura. probably to scare people.

" Why else? To open a ramen shop ", she said merrily.

" WHAT!?!?!" ,was the teens reactions.

" Well if I open one there it will be the last of the chain shops that I have. " ,the girl reply sheepishly. Dang will my ears ever be able to hear again?!

"YOU HAVE WHAT !! Ok where, how much , what kind, name names here" ,was the fast gibberish that came out of wide eye Naruto. I thought she was gioing to see Gaara. For the language of ramen was one of the things he had willing learned to love.

(A.N. and the same is with my bf. he is some what like Naruto but in a good way.)

" Hahahahhaha. Ok slow down. I have one in each village. The food is pretty much what I have fed you all for the trip." ,She while staring at the ground continued, " That as well as drinks. Like lemonade made with fresh lemons with mint and peach like additional tastes. If you want a dessert. I also make sweets. Like cream rolls with a triple swirl of either berries , chocolate , or fruit for filling you can have one of each or one of each kind. I make cakes wi-", she looked up to see all of them where either drooling , imaging some part of her menu, or look at her like ' and all you have been giving us is stew !?!?!?'. "Well I guess I better stop describing or I will have to start baking before I have a shop."

" Ok. I still have yeaht to know of... What this magically place is called !!!! ", cries out a half-drooled Naruto.

" Oh right. Well the one in the mist is called The Waterlily Ripples. The one in the rocks is called The Wallflowers Grip. The one in the clouds is called The Dandelions Seeds. The one in the sound is called The Fall of Geranium Petals. I'm planing to name this one in the sand The Sunflowers' Shade. The one in the leaves is called A Garden of Laurels." ,Melangell pronounced with a light cheerfulness.

"THAT IS A RAMEN SHOP!?!?" ,exclaimed Sakura. The only build that I know that is named that back home is three stories high with a balcony and a patio this cant be the one she is talking about.

"I went there one time. They said I had to make a reservation because most of the time the place would be packed." ,said Naruto ," and now I see why."

Melangell whispers to Naruto, " Since you are such a good guide and friend of mine. Next time you go you don't have to make reservations Ok? You just say leaf-side and you can get in." After that she walked back next to Sakura ,who trying again to get Sasuke's affection.

"REALLY ?!?!" ,she noded her head, no soon as she did so she was attacked to the ground by a blond orange blob of blur that made a high pitch squealing sound. That if translated right sounded like 'thank you' being said over and over. In result of such the other two where throw out of the way. Kakashi who senses this danger moves three second right before a flying Sasuke hits his head. But had no such luck with missing Sakura. Sasuke landed in a bush on the side.

( A.N. see Sasuke is safe. but I feel for Kakashi first being catapulted, then yell at, then this... man is this trip hard on him or what)

"UGH...oh since when is that my students fly ...Im glad you so happy Naruto, but I don't think she cant breath or move" ,said Kakashi.

"Huh...oh sorry" ,he quickly leaps off her, a small gasp came from Melangell. Then Naruto was hitted and was heading down again. Melangell's eyes widen. Oh hell no not again. I think I like my air. Quickly she slipped out of the way and pulled Naruto back up to his feet.

"NARUTO! YOU FOOL! YOU COULD HAVE HURT SOMEONE!!...Sasuke!!" ,Sakura dives for him.

" WHAT THE FUCK!?! " ,He had given a frighten startled look, just as he had gotten out, and the both go back in. "GET OFF ME DAMN WOMAN !", was a muffled protest.

"Ok children if we are all done with the glomping. I would like to finish this mission", said Kakashi walking again.

Everyone followed this lead.

four hours later

At the gate was nine guards waiting. Behind them was the leader of the sand village.

"Sir are you sure that it is wise to let these people in?" ,asked one of the men.

" Yes I'm sure. The war is over and I would be a unfit ruler if I didn't meet the messagers ,especially since when I want to see who it that he trusts" ,was the gravely reply.

About a mile away.

"How much farther Master Kakashi?" ,was the familiar groan.

"Around the bend" ,He said with a slightly happy tone.

From the last of them Melangell's eyes widen ,"Really that far?", with that quickly she soundlessly dashed into the few trees that lined the way. So soon...to soon?

" Yes you sound sur-" ,He turned expecting her usual smile. The rest of his sentence fell in the air without a sound.

"What is it Master?" ,Naruto asked turning to look. His eyes widen ,"Where did she go?" The others turned to look.

"I am here." ,was a muffled reply from behind them. They faced the front again.

"Oh there you are. Well lets continue then." ,was Kakashi reply.

"Where did you go? What is with the new outfit any way?", Naruto whispered to her. Her usual shirt and skirt was gone. Instead she was wearing a shirt that had sleeves that was close to the ground. They had a slit in them that met at her hands.The sleeves where made of net the color of cream. The chest of the top was a bright pale green. The neck of it curved at her collar bone. This shirt ended at the same spot as the other shirt. But now the dark leggings where now a pale blue and the net belt was replaced with a bright purple ribbon.

" I realized that we wear leaving the forest. I'm not use to not having the trees around. I lived in the trees so much. I feel like I'm leaving my home." ,Melangell said with a smile; but worry bleed through it. Her hair was now hanging down for the first time; it ended at the middle of her back. The wind blew the dark brown hair to her left but in the bright sun it could be seen that the ends were red.

Naruto gave her more of a puzzled look ,"What about when you went to the other places?" but why is she wearing those new clothes. And the look in her eyes when I was falling. It was so cold and frighting...the warmth just seemed to disappear like she was going to kill...it was worst than Kakashi's.It was like yesterday when Sakura insulted her...so out of place and different. He was still pondering this as the group rounded the bend of the straggled trees.

"Oh those well it is different when you go to the dessert...hardly any plants grow " ,she muttered.

" Ok, we just need to walk to that big fence", Kakashi said ,at the front on the group, in his cheerful tone as he point to the gate. Well at least we don't have to look for the leader.

"You mean that thing two hundred yards away?", ask Sakura. It took cell group three a moment to realize that there where people waiting at the gate. One of them had a the familiar leader's hat.

Hmmm so these are the ones that where sent to greet us...didnt the message say that there would be only four. if so who is that following them.The leader turn to his men. Don't disgrace our village... unless you want the punishment of the monster. As they approached He wondered more about the fifth person.

The leader turn to his men. . As they approached He wondered more about the fifth person.

(A.N. Thats all for this chapter. LOL I like to make cliff chapters but hate reading them...but ain't that the reason why we keep click or turning the pages or find the next book? well I assumed most of you know what glomping is but in case you don't: it is a hug that is wear you jump or leap at someone. I personally get a running start for a more higher leap. for more help of what a glomp is.. you're on your own .sorry if this was another short one.)

I oddly felt as if I was being watched and near by too. I raised my eyes to find the source and met with the most fighting thing I might have know outside my village.
