Yellow Eyes

Chapter 2 – Green Liquid

A/N: Second chapter, I know it's not as funny to read about my characters, but there aren't really a lot of cool characters 20-25 years before the actual story line.

With him, unconscious, placed on her back, she ran. The closest town wasn't far away; it took her altogether 16 minutes from Orochimaru's hideout. When she finally reached the closest inn, she rushed to what seemed to be the "lobby" and quickly asked for a room.

Behind the counter she saw a girl. The little girl was probably on her afternoon shift. She looked worried.

"Anou… Is he okay?" the girl motioned for the man on her back.

"Don't worry, he's just drunk." Mei flashed a smile.

"Oh… Okay."

"A room please?" she repeated.

"Oh right, I'm so sorry, I almost forgot."

The little girl fumbled with some keys before handing one over to her.
At the same time Mei picked up a few bills.

"Keep the change" The girl gave her a big smile.

"Thank you, your room is up the stairs and to the left."

Mei almost ran up the stairs and then to the left, just like the girl told her.
The room had a big sign on it. It said "13".
'Great' she thought. 'A bad omen, amongst all this'

She entered the room with the man on her back.
'A shower will do good'
She hurried to leave the man on the bed, ensuring that he wouldn't wake up anytime soon.
The room was boring. It had a blue and white striped rug that was spread over the wooden floor with matching curtains. The bed was double and didn't look all that comfortable.

On the right side of the room there was a few chairs surrounding a small table.
She could see a door to her left and made that out to be the bathroom.

"Don't go anywhere now." She giggled as she tossed her clothes off and went in the door.

She woke up to hear something that was almost like whimpering. When she realized what was making the sound, she almost got mad.

The man lying next to her was in pain, she could tell. Looking on the clock she could also tell that it was in the middle of the night and that she was going to be really pissed off in the morning. The day before she had decided to wait with the examination until morning, she was really tired.

But now it couldn't wait. Her long red hair ran down her back as she sat up.
She looked at him, and then she pulled the sweat soaked shirt off of him to put her hands on his torso. A green, almost blue light flow of light surrounded them both as she tried to figure out what was wrong with the pale man. 'Now let's see what you've been up to.'

After about 5 minutes, she could tell that he had been poisoned. It wasn't life threatening, but it could turn into something ugly. She jumped out of the bed and went to get some herbs.
She quickly mixed them together to a green liquid.

'This should do it' she lifted his head up and poured it down his throat. He swallowed it all. She could see the expression on his face changing.

"I know it's sour" she giggled. She knew he wasn't going to be calm just yet, but at least it would prevent her to have too many sleepless nights.

Mei woke up from violent knocking on her door.

"Yeah, yeah I'm coming." She said while walking sleepily to the door.
The morning light was pouring into her little room.

She opened the door, she wasn't surprised when she saw who it was.

"What the hell are you doing here?!" Fushidara said, it was like he was mixing screaming and whispering.

"What do you mean 'what am I doing here'? I'm sleeping"

"This is not the cheapest hotel in town, Mei." She looked at him with confused eyes.

"Yeah I kind of noticed." She answered with a smile on her lips.

Fushidara looked into her room. "May I come in?" he asked.

"Yeah, right, sure." She let out a big yawn.

"Are you having him in your bed?!" Fushidara looked shocked.

"What, are you jealous, Fushi?" she giggled at him and poked his chest friendly.

"Uhm… Not really, it's just that... You know..."

"You think he's going to jump me or something?" she smiled again.

"Never mind. I brought you some food." He handed over a bag.

"Thanks, Fushi." She could smell the sushi.(A/N: Fushi rhymes with sushi) They sat down by the small table.

"This is really good. Where did you get it?" she said while stuffing her face with fish and rice.

"It's a small market place just a few houses away, they get fresh fish every morning." He said with a sigh.

"Well, don't get too attached to it, we're moving to another village tomorrow." She said.

"We've just been here one night, Mei, its not like we are wanted or something."

"It's better to be safe than sorry!" a little fish escaped her mouth. "Damn!" and a little more.

Fushidara laughed at her. "Hey it's not good for pretty girls to talk with their mouth full." Giving him a teasing smile she continued her meal.
