Title: Sparks Will Fly
Summary: Ame Chii is a simple ninja who wants to make it big in life. But before she can do that, can she over come the obstacles placed in front of her?
Pairings: Hinted Ame(oc)/Kiba and Yuichi(oc)/Ino
Chapter Rating: T for sasuke.
Warnings: Ooc Sasuke, my terrible interpretation at Ame's first feelings for Kiba, etc etc etc. Also for Team Gai, really, they deserve to be written better. Specially Lee *heart*
Disclamer: I do not own any of the characters stated below, except for Ame and Kenta (And Misao). They're all mine, fufufufufu!
Both Ame and Misao are panting heavily after their training. The sun is about to set in the next hour, and the training grounds looks like a real disaster. Trees are blown halfway off all around, the ground having many craters in it. Ame feels most of her chakra has been drained away, and she's sure Misao feels the same. She kisses his nose and ruffles his fur up a bit.
"You did quite well, I'm amazed at your powers." she says, smiling at him warmly. "I think it's time for you to go home, and get some rest Misao." she concludes and watches him go with a puff of smoke.
She walks out of the forest lazily, coming to a clearing. I should go get some take-out. Ame thinks mindlessly, about to leave the training grounds. She feels a hand on her shoulder and tenses, whipping around to lay a punch on someone.
A strong hand prevents this, and she looks up to see none other than Sasuke Uchiha. She sighs in relief, obviously thinking an enemy was trying to do something. Ame rolls her eyes and gets out of his grasp easily.
"What do you want, Uchiha." she asks, smirking at the raven haired boy. He clicks his tongue against his teeth at the use of last names.
"Just looking for a quick spar before I head home, Chii." he says, placing a hand on his hip. She runs a hand through her bangs and crosses her arms lazily.
"I just got done training, can't you go find someone more your level. Like, oh…Naruto." she grins evilly at the obvious insult, and her smirk deepens when Sasuke looks quite ruffled. It makes her feel accomplished to get the stoney Uchiha to come out of his shell.
"Like I'd ever spar with that idiot. I want to be ready for tomorrow; we're getting our teams put together. I don't want to seem ill prepared." Ame restrains herself from mocking the boy.
"Really Uchiha, you can do better. Maybe another day, the big kids have to go rest now. Bye." she waves and walks out of the gates, closing them quickly. She wouldn't ever admit to anyone that Sasuke gets under her skin sometimes. The way he picks at his vocabulary and composes his sentences…and that voice! She sneers and heads towards a barbeque shop, looking to settle down and eat in peace.
She smiles thankfully at the waitress that brings her the plate of meat she ordered, along with a side of plentiful rice. Ame places the meat on the grill she happily eats the rice before it gets cold. Relaxing her tense muscles and aching back, she sits back and flips the meat occasionally; deeming it ready only after a few minutes. This should become a regular thing she thinks silently to herself, enjoying the savory taste of the meat grilled to perfection.
I wouldn't be surprised if Choji is here. Ame would laugh at the coincidence, but it never comes. Assuming he went to another place, or was here earlier, she stacks the plates at the end of the table. If anyone was even a bit close to Choji, they would know he eats out for barbeque each day.
Ame pays the bill and thanks the manager of the store, heading out. The air feels chilly against her sun kissed skin compared to the warm environment of the shop. She rubs her arms and arrives at her apartment complex quickly, looking up to see the sun has set already.
"What an abnormal day," she ponders out loud, watering her plants as usual. A rush of cool air flows through her apartment, and Ame makes sure to close and lock the sliding doors.
"Though Sasuke coming up to me would have just killed his fan-girls. I would've liked to see the looks on their warped faces." she says a bit too harshly to a spider plant, setting the watering can down near the door.
Ame goes about her usual routine, taking a shower and dressing in a large shirt and shorts, letting her hair down. The pink strands reach her mid-back and Ame makes up her mind to pull it over her shoulder, being sure it doesn't get trapped when she lays down in bed. Once again the young Genin writes in her journal, using many drawn faces to depict how she felt about the events during the day. With an unusually long chapter ranting about the one and only Sasuke Uchiha, she closes her thick journal with a snap.
"Snooty pants thinks he can control me…hmph." she mumbles, settling down into her mattress. Ame tries to go to sleep, but ends up turning over and over, tangling the sheets around her body. Eventually the pink haired girl sits up, looking around the moon-lit room. Instead of lashing out at something, she stops and looks in wonder at her apartment.
Is it always this pretty at this time of night? She questions in her mind, not realizing her apartment is perfectly angled to capture the moon's glowing rays. Ame leans against the wall behind her, a million thoughts whizzing through her mind.
Standing up and stretching, she realizes she's been tossing all night. The clock is ticking away, telling her it's four in the morning. Without feeling much fatigue, she takes her time to go over and grab a small bunch of grapes to eat. Sliding her glass doors open, she lays on the balcony to stare at the stars and moon until sunrise.
It isn't until six that Ame gets some rest. She sleeps until 10 in the morning, taking a great deal of time to peel her face off the cement.
"Ouch…" she says softly, rubbing her reddened cheek. Wiping her eyes of sleep, Ame sits up and feels much more rested than before.
Getting up and getting ready, enjoying the fact she won't have to deal with a certain blond for a while, she decides to let her hair down for the day. Kenta would always make her put up in a pony tail, and she developed a habit to do so.
Taking a slight detour wouldn't hurt. Her evil thoughts creep into her mind, spying the Academy in her line of sight. Ame can't help herself but be curious as she opens the school doors to find the beloved room in which her friends would be getting their Jonin leaders in.
Passing multiple doors, Ame finally finds the right one. It looks partially devoid of students. The rest that are left either look agitated or smug. She slips into the room unnoticed, finding Kiba on a top level near Hinata and Shino.
Serves him right. Karma! Ame giggles, knowing Kiba wouldn't be able to handle two reserved people for long. She tip toes over to her best friend, crouching beside him.
"What's up?" she asks, watching Kiba flinch and turn.
"Trying not to bore myself. Iruka said our Sensei will be here soon, but they haven't come yet!" Kiba throws his hands up in the air, grunting in a depressive way. Ame had never seen her friend so bored, and she stifles a laugh.
"Don't hurt yourself too badly. Where's Shikamaru, and Choji?" Ame asks, not seeing the two. Kiba snorts, grinning widely.
"Their Sensei already came and got them. Let's just say, they'll be having quite a bossy person on their team."
Ame furrows her brows. "Their sensei is that bad? I thought they were supposed to be mature." she says, excluding her own from that list. There was no ounce of maturity in Kenta she could see.
"No, not their Sensei. Ino just happened to land a spot on their team." Now Ame realizes why he was laughing in the first place. She lets out her own bout of laughter, placing her face in her palm.
"Oh. That's too rich." She murmurs, laying her head down on the table. She peers up at Kiba with one eye open, never before noticing the way his eyes crinkle attractively when he smiles.
Soon she's grimacing at her own thoughts. What the hell was that? She frantically looks around, realizing no one had noticed her apparent dreamy look cast upon her long time friend. Hastily, Ame stands up and places a hand on her neck nervously.
"I…I sorry, Kiba, I have to go train." she says quickly, exiting the room without looking back.
What in the hell is wrong with me? Sprinting to the training grounds, her emotions flare up and Ame kicks a tree clear off its base.
"Oh fuck not again!" She says, watching the large oak soar through the forest and making a straight clear line. Her left leg feels as heavy as stone, and she peers down at the dark grey color. Apparently her body isn't used to her new discovery quite yet, considering it hasn't gone back to normal this time.
Obviously curious, Ame lightly brushes her calf. She pulls her left pant leg up and realizes the color reaches barely past her knee. Her leg feels cold and lifeless, nerve endings completely gone. She hears some rustling in the bushes and nervously looks around.
What if someone sees? Frantically, Ame rolls both her pant legs down. A mantra of Stop, stop, stop in her mind, trying her hardest to have her legs return to normal status. A light tingling sensation, and her left leg feels considerably lighter.
"I'm going to have to work on that…" she wipes her forehead of sweat, freezing when a kunai barely misses her right arm.
She turns quickly and sees a boy dressed in a heinous green outfit, decked out with orange leg warmers and a bowl cut. Somehow he looks familiar. A girl with buns in her hair and a martial arts outfit leans against a tree, twirling another kunai on her finger. A brown haired boy with ghostly eyes follows the two, looking bored.
"Gai Sensei!" the first boy shouts out, an equally ridiculous outfit placed on their sensei's body. She definitely recognizes Gai, having seen him multiple times before. Perhaps that's why the first boy looks familiar, seeing as they are dressed the same.
"What is the meaning of this?" Ame says a bit too harshly, and Gai gives a thumbs up to her.
"Neji had said someone was over here, creating quite the ruckus! Thinking it was an enemy, Tenten and Lee came to check it out." Ame slaps her hand to her face, grumbling inaudibly.
"You do know if an intruder comes through the invisible force field surrounding Konoha, the Hokage would be alerted immediately. It'd be ridiculous to think anyone would be able to pass by him unknowingly." Putting a hand on her hip, she looks over the four.
Gai's pose falters, two of the three students obviously annoyed from their sensei's antics. However, Lee's eyes are burning with a fiery passion.
Lee starts shouting about how Gai sensei is never wrong, the previously stated saying that it isn't true. Tenten starts to smack Lee around, shouting about being sensible. Neji just stands there, looking quite irritated by the noise.
"I'll just…leave you alone to talk about this." Ame says softly, backing up away from the four.
She escapes quickly, running her forearm on her brow, collecting the sweat that has formed.
What an odd bunch. She muses about them in her mind, finding a quiet hilly clearing to practice jutsu in. Around noon, she breaks her training to summon Misao and work on their teamwork, and what she had in mind for them when Kenta returns.
