"Not interested. Let's go" Gaara said turning around. He took off hopping building to building and the rest of us followed.
Chapter 6 determination
We continued walking through Konoha trying to find our hotel. Temari was still enraged about Sasuke not wanting to know her name.
"I can't believe that guy, why didn't he want my name?" Temari said angerly.
I heard Kankuro whisper to himself.
"What did you say?" growled Temari turning around to glare at her brother.
"N-nothing" said Kankuro nervously.
Temari then glared at Kankuro turning back around. Renee tapped my shoulder and I looked to where she was pointing. When I was looking around I spotted a pair of familiar faces in the crowd, it was Baki and Jone. When my eyes met Jone's eyes he waved at us and then he and Baki walked over to us.
" Hey guys, how is it going? Have you found our hotel yet?" Jone asked us and smiled.
" Not yet" Emma said disappointedly.
" So I guess you guys being here means that your done with the hokage right ?" Renee asked.
" Yes we just finished," Baki answered.
" So why haven't you guys found the hotel? asked Jone. "I was sure it would be easy to find."
" We got kinda sidetracked" Renee said sighing in frustration as she glanced at Kankuro.
" Oh" John said understandingly.
" So then, let's find that building" Jone said leading the way, then stopping and turning back around.
" Where is the hotel again?" Asked Jone which made me look at him in disbelief.
*Time skip*
When we finally got there, we took a second to admire the building. The building was only three stories high and had a mixed modern and Japenese style, to it like most buildings in Kohona.
When we entered the hotel, the front entrance was a completely white walled room with barely any furniture and two hallways on either side of the room. The two hallways were lined with doors with numbers, which I guessed were the apartments. Inside the room was a reception desk at the far wall, with stairs on either side of it. Oneset of stairs was going downwards and one going up. A bunch of hooks behind the desk had keys on them, and a couple couches and chairs scattered around.
As we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly young women. The women had her brown hair tied back in a tight bun and was dressed in a blue kimono with an white flowered design stitched onto it with white colored obi.
"Welcome, how may I help you?" The women asked kindly and bowed to us in a polite manner.
"Two rooms for four of us, please" said Jone with much politeness that it surprised me. I didn't think he could be so polite.
"Okay please follow me" the women said smiling at us. She grabbed two keys from behind the desk.
The women lead us up the flight of stairs up to the second floor and then down a hallway. We stopped in front of a door with the number 232 on it. The women in kimono proceeded to open the door with one of the keys she had with her. The she passed Baki the key. Baki and his team said their goodbyes than entered the apartment closing the door behind them. The women then began walking down the hall again and we followed in tow. We followed her up another set of stairs that led to the third floor. We walked down to the end of the winding hallway until we got to the end and stopped in front of a door numbered 341. The women opened the door for us just as she did for Baki's team and than gave the key to Jone.
" Thanks" Jone said smiling kindly at the women.
"You're welcome and I hope you have a wonderful stay. If you need anything don't be afraid to ask" said the women bowing to us and then began to walk down the hallway and disappearing behind the corner.
When we first entered the apartment it was into a hallway. The hallway was lined with japenese style sliding doors, three of them either side and one at the end. We decided we would look around at our new place before unpacking and we began opening doors and looking inside.
The first one on left when we opened it was a medium sized room with white walls. Furniture wise, the room only had low table with cushions placed around it.
After that room we proceeded to open the door across the hall. Inside this one was a fair sized kitchen. The next four doors on the hallway we opened were bedrooms each one containing a single bed and a night stand with a lamp on top of it. In each room there was a closet on the far left corner of the room. The only thing different between all four rooms was that the two on the left had balconies beside the closet looking out over Konoha.
Finally there was only one door left. When we opened it, inside was a very small bathroom. Inside was a shower slash bath on the far wall, a sink with a mirror above it to the left, and a toilet to the right with a shelf just above it filled with towels. Great, it's going to be a fight for bathroom time every morning.
After deciding who would get the rooms with the balconies, which me and Renee got, we began unpacking our stuff into our rooms. When we were done, we all sat down in the living room to relax.
"So, it seems it took us a while for us to find the hotel, it's already six o'clock pm" said Jone who was now standing in the doorway to the room. Does anyone have a suggestion to where we should go to eat" Jone asked.
" ICHIRUKU!" said Emma jumping up and down excitedly. I could only guess who she was thinking about.
"Um, Jone how exactly are we pay for this if we don't have any Japanese money?" Renee asked staring at Jone questioningly. Yea Renee was right, in this world they don't except our money and I don't know how exactly get some Japanese money at short notice I thought to myself sadly.
"You guys haven't looked through your shuriken pouches have you?" Jone asked. We all shook our heads.
"Well it happens that inside I found a wallet filled with money" Jone said pulling out a wallet from his shuriken pouch. We stared at him surprise he should of had told us that in the first place.
" I guess we're going to Ichiraku's than" I said shrugging my shoulder nonchalantly which made Emma jump up and hug me.
After we made sure everything was where it should we locked up and headed out toward Ichiraku.
"Emma slow down" Renee yelled at Emma who had some how gotten ahead of us.
"No, you guys hurry up, your too slow" said Emma quickening her pace.
We ran to catch up with Emma but suddenly we hit something and we were knocked ground. We looked up to see who we hit and in front of us on the ground was Kiba Inuzuka.
"Watch where you are going" Kiba grumbled standing up and glaring at us.
"Sorry" said Renee, as both of us picked ourselves off the ground.
Avalon suddenly began rubbing her head against Renee's leg whining. Renee picked up Avalon and placed her in her arms.
"That's one nice dog you got there, is she yours" said Kiba after seeing Avalon.
"Yep and her name is Avalon" Renee said smiling at Kiba.
"Oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Kiba Inuzuka and this is my partner Akamaru. What's your names" Kiba asked looking at the both of us.
"Renee" said Renee.
"Hailey" said Hailey.
"Well nice to meet you" Kiba said.
As I looked around I saw Kiba wasn't alone, beside were his teammates Hinata and Shino. " Oh these are my teammates Hinata Hyūga and Shino Aburame" Kiba said introducing his teammates.
"Well it was very nice to meet you all, but we should be going Emma's probably already there" Jone said from behind us beginning to walk away and we followed.
"Bye Kiba nice meeting you" Renee said waving back at Kiba who waved back.
When we got to Ichiraku's we were surprised to find that Emma finished off two full bowls of ramen and had began her third. "Emma slow down or you will get yourself a stomach ache" said Renee sitting down to the right right of Emma. After Renee sat down, Jone and I sat down beside her.
"Well how can I help all of you" the shop owner Tenchi said smiling at us.
"Yes, we would like three pork ramens please" Jone answered happily.
"Coming right up" Tenchi said turning around and began working on the ramen.
Tenchi had just finished our ramen when we heard a familiar voice from behind us.
"Hey old two miso pork ramens" we turned around and behind us was Naruto who grinning ear to ear.
"Well hello Naruto you seem festive today" said Tenchi.
"Yep that's because I'm going to be taking part in Chunin exams" said Naruto happily. After saying that, Naruto finally noticed us and his eyes widened in surprise. " Your girls were with the guy who was choking Konohamaru" exclaimed Naruto.
"Yea we're sorry about that, we tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen" Renee said apologetically.
"It's okay, why do you hang out with jerk in the first place" Naruto said taking a seat beside Emma.
"Well he isn't always like that, he can be nice as well, once you get to know him. By the way we didn't get your name " Emma said trying to change the subject and it seemed to work because a smile spread across his face.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, future hokage of the leaf village." said Naruto confidently which made Emma giggle.
"Why do you laugh, you don't believe me" Naruto said seriously crossing his arms over his chest.
Emma stopped giggling and smiled at Naruto. " No, I believe you Naruto and I think you'll make a wonderful hokage" said Emma happily which made Naruto's face to turn beat red.
"You really think so?" Naruto said blushing and scratching the back of his head nervously. Emma nodded. I'd guess he didn't hear that alot, especially from girls I thought. "By way what's your name?" asked Naruto getting over his nervousness and staring intently at Emma, which made it her turn to blush.
"My name is Emma and these are my teammates Renee and you already know Hailey and at the end is our Sensei and Hailey's brother Jone" said Emma introducing everyone.
"Well we should be going it's getting late and we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow" said Jone having paid Tenchi.
"Well it was nice meeting you Naruto" said Emma hugging Naruto. I'm so jealous I wish I could do that but if I tried Gaara's sand would stop me I thought.
As we walked back to the apartment Renee was arguing with Emma about her hugging Naruto. " you're just jealous because you don't have the guts to do it yourself" Emma said angrily.
"Well I'm just taking it slow" stated Renee crossing her arms over her chest in frustration.
"I wish I could hug Gaara but.." I said sadly stopping because I couldn't find the right words.
"But he would either kill you or his sand would stop you" said Renee finishing my sentence. I nodded.
"Don't worry Hailey, you'll get your chance eventually just you wait" Emma said smiling at me.
"Yea she's right you shouldn't lose hope" said Renee patting me on the back.
"Yea I guess your right" I said my confidence coming back.
When we got back to the apartment instead of going to bed straight away we decided we would stay up and talk in the dining/living room.
"Oh I forot to ask you before how did your meeting with hokage go?" Renee asked excitedly.
" Stressful" said Jone said sighing and looking away with distant look in his eyes.
"Why is that?" Emma asked curious.
"You guys do know what happens to him at the end of Chunin exams" John said. We nodded, all of us knew about the hokage and what happened. " And now knowing he actually living person, do you even know how I feel knowing that" Jone said tears welling up in his eyes and I felt my heart beat painfully against my chest. Like I understood where he was coming from I would try to save the hokage life if it could but it was destined to be.
" I know Jone but you couldn't tell him without tell him who we really we're" I said sadly looking down at the floor.
" Wait wouldn't they find out as soon as we get to Suna when theres no record of us"? Renee said.
How could I have forgotten that I thought frustrated at myself. " we'll just have to find our way back before than" I said confidently even though I wasn't really that confident. " yea but first we'll have to find out how we got here in the first place" Jone said sternly
"Yea but how there aren't any clues to go by" Renee stated and she had a valid point had no way of telling how we got here I thought to myself.
" Hey Hailey I've been thinking maybe someone dropped us there in desert." Jone said.
" I don't know why someone would" Renee said sounding skeptical of Jones idea.
" okay I guess it's alittle far fetched but still it's possible anyways onto more pressing matters" Jone said changeing the subject.
"What do mean?" said Renee in confusion.
" you tell me you think you can pass the Chunin exams with the little skills you know do you" Jone stated seriously and now that I think about it he's got a point all we know is how to run faster than normal and that wont do much againest the many jutsu the other competitors know.
" yea but what about?" asked Renee glaring at Jone she knew he was right.
" well don't tell me after watching Naruto repeatedly you that you haven't memorized some of the Justus on it" Jone said smirking.
" yea why?" Renee said still not getting what Jone was getting at.
" well this week we're going to be training like crazy to learn as many ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu moves as we know before this week is over so we can show those ninja what us city kids are made of" Jone said confidently smiling to himself. I seems we're going to have long week ahead of us I thought to myself but I still wonder who or what left us out there in the desert.
*No ones Pov*
Inside the Akatsuki hideout Pain and some of the other members of the Akatsuki lay in wait for Tobi's and Zetsu's return. Suddenly the door to the room flung open and in ran an out of breath Tobi. After Tobi Zetsu walked and who didn't even seem tired. " so how did it go did you get rid of the girl" said Pain seriously. "No we didn't get a chance because this idoat got scared when the dog that was with them began barking and transport all us to the wind country" said white Zetsu glaring at Tobi who shrunk into himself. " Tobi sorry should Tobi and Zetsu-san go and get her now" Tobi asked. " no since she's already here we'll just have to wait" " where is she now?" asked Pain looking at Zetsu. " last time we checked they were heading off with a couple sand village ninja" said Zetsu. After that The meeting was ended and everyone left except Pain who stayed behind to think. I was hope to get rid of the girl before she became a nussiance but it seems that things aren't going according to plan and now we'll just have to wait.
