Night arose engulfing the village in its dark blanket, ashen mist covered the ground as I walked into the market. I picked up some veggies and stopped at the magazine rack. A cute pink magazine full of horoscopes and the latest fashion caught my eye. I flipped through it falling in love with the sexy men on the "men of the month" page. Boy did I like those male models….

I peeked over into the forbidden section of the magazine rack. And evil grin formed on my face.

"Hm…." I looked around myself, down the isle and down the next, the place was pretty empty. Slithering over, I pulled the cover off of the rack and searched desperately for the new issue of my favorite series. "Yes!" I whispered to myself grabbing my favorite series, Icha-Icha paradise!

Casually I walked up to the counter and placed all my stuff on it. There was a pretty girl working, she had a round face and soft looking brown hair to match her golden sunlight skin. Her chocolate eyes sparkled brightly even in the dull light of the store. Course I was a little envious. I wish I looked that lively looking and pretty. I'm a pasty pale, thin, sickly looking thing with a missing eye and all wishy-washy all over. My color scheme is boring, black and white? How dull.

As she checked my stuff out she lingered on my perverted book for a moment, then passively to the next item.

"Oh I love this magazine!" She grinned looking at the cover of my girly magazine.

"I just found it, I like looking at horoscopes and new fashions." I smiled, though she couldn't see it under my jade shield.

"Thanks for reminding me the new issue is out." She smiled sweetly at me. Aw, not a lot of girls are nice to me cause of how weird I appear… and talk…and act… uh.

"Thanks for not blowing me off like every other girl I meet." I laughed scratching the back of my head.

"Yeah, some people are stingy. I think you look cool and mysterious." She complemented.

"Haha I much rather look like you, pretty skin and hair."

She finished checking my food and stuff out and handed me my bags. I thanked her and went on my way home. The outside air was chilly, definitely felt like winter was sneaking up. A drop of water hit my hand, I looked up at the looming devious clouds. Suddenly a downpour on my head.

"AHH SHIT!!" I hightailed it to my house, trying to save my groceries. Luckily no water got in any of my bags.

I put everything away and decided to go for a walk in the rain, my absolute favorite thing to do. The smell is just amazing and the cold feels great. I grabbed an umbrella and a scarf and went out my new door. I immediately got my feet wet just stepping onto the grass, so in the midst of all the freezing water I decided to take off my shoes and throw them at my welcome mat.

The forest was the prettiest place in the rain, though it made me feel bittersweet. Rain always reminds me of blood.

I found a pretty tree, decaying for the winter, its red and orange leaves dropping like flies from the rain. There was no reason I had to go home so early in the night, and there are no rules about walking around. Well I imagine not. If so then I'm ditching this joint.

A whistling noise came from my left, I jumped up into a tree. A kunai embedded itself deep into the tree I was standing next to and my umbrella. I looked through the darkness and saw kaka Poopoo. Why the hell was he trying to hurt me?

"Hey, what's your problem!?" I jumped down and looked at him. He causally walked over with his hands in his pockets. His hair was no longer gravity defying but soaked and down long.

"Why are you in the forest at night, any normal person is at home sleeping or drinking something warm, not out playing in the rain in the middle of the night." His bored expression didn't match his tiresome, boring speech.

"If you haven't noticed I'm not a normal person… and I like the rain at night, have a problem with that?" I asked, putting my hand on my hip. He smirked, I could see the indentation through his wet mask.

"Well that's true." finally admitting defeat. "What do you have under that mask of yours?" He continued to probe me for random answers.

"A pale crappy looking thing with a missing an eye." I grinned to myself.

"How bout a fight, I'm really in the mood for some easy practice." His half closed eye opened a little and his eyebrow raised. Why so violent?

"Sorry, I don't like fighting in the rain, brings back bad memories." I laughed and dissipated from his sight.

Appearing deeper into the forest I rested against a bare tree. Once again I heard an annoying man trying to approach me.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT!?" I pulled out my fairly new katana and aimed at the silver haired ninja. He pulled out a kunai and our weapons struck creating a rain of sparks.

We went at it for at least two hours, slashing and defending, neither of us getting anything in.. He went for my leg and managed to stick me in the thigh, the kunai stuck out, I didn't care to pull it out. Giddy, I attacked hard, pushing his second kunai out of his hand and snagging him in the shoulder. Blood splattered on my blade and on my mask.

"Shit!" He grabbed his sputtering shoulder. Ew.

"Stupid! That's why its not smart to fight!" I pulled the knife out of my leg and threw it on the floor carelessly. I pulled my scarf off and handed it to him. Taking a step back I stupidly stepped on the kunai I threw down. "OWCH!!!!" I fell to the floor looking at my cut foot. Tears welled in my eyes. "It hurts!" I sniffled and stood up limping on my cut foot but neglecting my fucked up leg. Kakashi gave me a strange look and we walked slowly back to the village.

Conveniently his house was the building next to mine. I made sure he was ok to walk with all the blood loss and such. We didn't say bye or anything. Personally I though he was annoying as hell, starting a fight just because. What kind of person does that?

:O
