I was falling! I mean really falling!! I couldn't even remember how long I had been descending down into the darkness. I couldn't remember how I got here either. Holy lord I was STILL falling. I was beginning to doubt there was even a bottom to this pit. Maybe I would end up falling forever. Stuck in this stupid hole…….
Just as I thought that, I hit the floor with a sickening CRAAACK! I let out a small gasp as pain seared through my body. Every bone burned like fire.
Suddenly I felt a reassure on my stomach. Like someone was sitting on it.
"ASHI-CHANNNNNN!!" a loud voice yelled, "wake up sleepy-pie!!"
Ashikara's blueish-gray eyes fluttered open and immediately locked with piercing gray ones looking down at her. Eyes that she knew way too well "Go away Osa-chan! Its Saturday!" Ashi groaned as she tried to lift the tall Hyuuga girl off her belly. "That means no training!" As much as she tried she couldn't even budge Osa. "GET OFF!!"
Osa gave her a silly grin and just poked her cheek "Silly Ashi-chan" she said "Hiroshi told us we had a mission today. Don't you remember?" Oh….. CRUDSICLE! Ashi thought she had completely forgotten about that. She couldn't let Osa know that though. "uuuummm yeah."she said nervously. "Of course I remembered!"
Osa raised her eyebrow at Ashi and crossed her arms "You're a really bad liar." Ashi sweatdropped. Osa could read her like a book. "Do I have to get up?!" she whined.
"YEP!!" Osa exclaimed with too much enthusiasm. It always creeped Ashi out that Osa could be so happy in the morning. 'Speaking of morning' Ashi thought 'I wonder what time it is…..'
"OSA-CHAN!!" Ashi moaned looking at the clock! "Its friggin 4:00 in the MORNING!! The mission doesn't start till 10:00!"
"Yeah about that…." Osa rubbed the back of her head nervously "Neji always gets up early to train and he woke me up." Ashi shot a glare at her.
"So you decided to take it out on me!? An innocent victim that needs sleep." she said giving up on glaring and giving Osa a little smile. As much as she resented Osa for waking her up, She was still one of the only people (besides Yume-chan, Shikamaru-kun, and Hiroshi-sensei) that Ashi could loosen up and joke around with freely.
"You got it!" Osa laughed and poked her again "Now get up before I get the water." Ashikara's eyes widened in fear. She remembered the last time Osa poured water on her to wake her up. Ashi could still feel the freezing water as she thought about it. So without further delay she jumped out of bed said loudly "IM UP!! No need for water."
Osa gave a childish grin "Works every time." She looked so satisfied Ashi almost thought Osa was going to break into a cheesy victory dance. That probably would have made her day.
"Osa get out of my room. "Ashi said calmly "I need to change." Osa gave her a questioning look. "How do I know you won't lock the door and go back to sleep?" she asked suspiciously.
Ashi sweatdropped "You are a NINJA, Osa. You should know how to pick a lock!"
"OH YEAHHH!" Osa said like it was an easy thing to forget. Ashi just shook her head and threw Osa out of her room. "I'll be out in a minute." Ashi said through the door. Then she quickly ran to her dresser and pulled out a tight brown shirt with a small green vest over it and a pair of green capri's. She pulled the clothes on and slipped her feet into a pair of dark green sandals (the ones that all the ninjas wear). She stopped for a quick second to pick up a picture frame on top of her dresser.
The picture was of her Family; Ashi, my dad, and my sister. She hugged the picture to herself "I miss you guys." She whispered and then she sat the picture down in its original place.She quickly ran a brush through her hair and ran out the door. Almost running into Osa, who was standing right outside it.
"Okay Osa I'm ready!" She said with a shy smile "I have to make our lunches for later but that won't take too long. Then we can go get Yume-chan. Is that okay?"
Osa nodded happily and followed her downstairs into the kitchen. "Ashi-chan can you make me egg rolls like you did last time. They were super yummie." Osa said as she took a seat at the table. Ashi smiled and told Osa that she would. It was kind of something Ashi just did naturally now, making lunches I mean. She usually made boxed lunches for her team on missions, she didn't mind doing it either.
Out of nowhere Ashi heard a growl come from across the room. Actually it was more like a roar. "Shut up!" she heard Osa hiss. The growl came again but louder "SSSSHHHHHHH" Ashi looked over to see Osa talking to her……stomach? WTF O.o
"Osa!" she said accusingly, crossing her arms. "Did you skip breakfast again?" Osa looked away as she answered "maaaybe." Ashi raised her eyebrow at Osa "So that's a no. right?" she asked even though she kind of already knew the answer. "maaaybe" Osa said again, still not looking at her.
"OSA!" Ashi whined getting a little annoyed by Osa's answers. She sighed "Fine, I didn't eat breakfast at my house, but you wouldn't either if you were in a house with Hiashi and Neji at the same time." She shivered at the thought "I swear that they are both gender confused. And after that comment that Hiroshi made about it, every time I see Neji I imagine him in one of those skimpy maid dresses."
Ashi's eyes widened at the picture that was now stuck in her brain. "GAHHHHHH!" Osa laughed "Now you feel my pain! MUAHAHAHA" She shook the picture out of my head, grabbed something out of the cabinet, and tossed it to Osa. "I'm going to run out of food because of you" She sighed
"Yeah but you love me!" Osa said and then stuffed her face with strawberry poptart. While Osa ate her poptart Ashi packed all the lunches quickly. Finally after ten minutes she had them all finished. She was a master of spped XD
"okies, I'm ready Osa-chan" She said clapping her hands together and smiling broadly. Osa walked over and inspected the boxes. "Ashi-chan why did you make two extra boxed lunches?" She asked curiously.
"Mrs. Nara is on a mission and Shika-kun and his dad are hopeless when in comes to cooking so I have been making them food while she is gone." Ashi already knew what Osa's reaction would be and she wasn't looking forward to it.
"OOHHHHHHH! Ashi's got a boyfriend, Ashi's got a boyfriend." She mocked just as Ashi had predicted she would.
It was 7:30 by the time they left my house and walked over to Shikamaru's house. They were standing outside the gate at the moment. Ashi turned around to face Osa.
"Stay here okay? I don't want you too embarrass me" she smiled as Osa scowled. "Awwww come on Ashi-chan you ruin all my fun!" Osa groaned "I'll be good I promise just please let me come!"
Ashi sighed knowing that Osa would embarrass her no matter what but that's why She loved Osa "Fine." Ashi said. They both walked up to the door and Ashi knocked on it softly. After a minute or two It opened to reveal a very tired looking Shikamaru. He must have just woken up because his hair was down and he wasn't wearing a shirt. Ashi's face was a dark shade of red and she looked like she was about to faint.
"H-h-hello Shika-kun" She said nervously. She was really starting to sound like Hinata. He gave her a small smile when he realized it was her, completely oblivious to Osa
"Hi Ashi, what brings you here so early." He asked, rubbing his eyes. Osa smirked at the lack of honorific. We all know what that means (if you don't then look it up). Ashi looked down at her feet as she spoke to him. "Gomen. I brought a lunch for you and your father. I'm sorry for coming so early." She held out two of the boxed lunches to him and got up enough courage to look him in the eye.
"No its fine. Thank you. I'll be right back." He gave her another smile and walked back into his house to put the lunches away.
"awwwwwwwww. That was sooo cute." Osa said excitedly.
"What was cute?" a familiar voice asked. Both of the girls turned around to see a smiling readhead behind them. "YUME!" they both shrieked and glomped her.
"Hello to you too." She said happily. "Now what was so cute, Osa." Ashi gave Osa a don't-even-think-about-it look but Osa ignored it and smiled at Yume. "Ashi-chan and Shikamaru-kun were flirting with eachother." She said with a satisfied smirk. Ashi glared at her "We weren't flirting." she hissed.
"ooooooohhhhh" Yume exclaimed "I'll give you five bucks if you kiss him.!" Ashi's eyes widened. "YUME!" she yelled "I'm not going to do that!"
"Do what?" Shikamaru asked asked as he emerged back into the doorway, still shirtless. Ashi's face turned and even darker shade of red. "n-nothing" she studdered. He shrugged and held out a book to her. "Here's your book back, I finished it." He said with a smile.
She felt a push on her back as she reached out to take the book. Before she knew what was happening her lips were pressed to his. They both pulled back quickly and blushed. Ashi gave Yume a death glare, knowing it was Yume who pushed her.
"W-well I s-should g-go" Ashi said nervously. Shikamaru nodded as she took the book. Quickly she kissed him on the cheek and ran away to outside of the gate with Yume and Osa following her. The second that Shikamaru had closed the door Ashi gave Yume the evilest glare EVER. "YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!!" she screeched loudly as Osa held her back.
Yume gave her a sheepish grin "You'll thank me someday!" Ahsi stuck her tongue out at Yume. "Don't count on it!"
"Well look at the time." Osa said happily "We better get going."
"BABYSITTING!?" Yume groaned, "That's the mission we had to get up early on a Saturday for?" She was sitting on the floor trying to quiet a screaming toddler. Osa sighed and took the piece of candy that Yume was about to put in her mouth and handed it to the kid. Instantly the toddler stopped crying.
Yume sweatdropped "I knew that" she said, rubbing the back of her head. Ashi was sitting on the floor braiding a little girl's hair. "Its not that bad." She said calmly.
Yume glared at her "Easy for you to say. Every kid looves you."
"Maybe if you would be calm they wouldn't be so scared." Ashi said simply "where is Hiroshi anyway?"
"Probably in some dark corner reading his book." Osa said with a smile. Just as she said that Hiroshi appeared behind her. Osa jumped about three feet in the air. "AHHHHHHHHH!!" she screamed loudly.
Ashi and Yume burst out with laughter. Osa shot them an evil glare. Hiroshi put his book down and looked at his students.
Yume decided to take out her anger on him "YOU MADE US BABYSIT ON A SATURDAY!!" she yelled making all the kids start crying again. "So I geuss you wouldn't like to hear the good news?" he asked.
Osa raised her eyebrows "It better not involve children." She said blankly she passed a look between Ashi and Yume who started laughing uncontrollably."
"No actually, I was talking to the Hokage about getting you an A or B rank mission. She agreed that it would be okay."
O.O look on their faces when he said this
"TELL US!!" They yelled at the same time. Now all the kids were huddled in a corner crying and looking scared for their lifes.
Hiroshi sighed and told them…….
Haha I'm leaving it there. Now you are going to have to wait for Osa's story. MUAHAHAHA.
I tried to make it funny but for one I wasn't that hyper. Ya I was surprised too.
GO TEAM TARD!!
