Outsider: Ride Wit Me, Sensei

Okay, I forget which chapter I'm on, but anyways on with the numberless chapter!

The previous chapter:

'All of them faced the same direction Snake eyes faced, and all their hearts skipped a beat:

There was Jinx, walking through the pounding rain with Scarlett's arm around her neck, she was helping her, she was saving her, she was rescuing her...'

The whole world seemed to stop: every sound escaped his ears, the color drained from the picture itself, and birds hung in mid air, their journey not yet completed.

His body for the first time, wanted to collapse underneath him.

"Snake eyes!" Their voices drowned out in the distance.

But he had to find them, he couldn't live with himself if they died when he was supposed to find them. His body too, seemed to run in slow motion, but he didn't care, he only FELT that way. The soft grass made a 'squish' sound, every time he stepped. The rain was not easing up, and his suit weighed him down, but he kept running. When he stood at the broken warehouse door, the flames had already died down and the walls lay crumpled on the ground. Only the two back walls still stood. He quickly leaped into the rubble, and lifted huge dry wall pieces with his bare hands. Nothing. He kept lifting more pieces then tossing them aside. His chest heaved with every breath when he realized that he wasn't going to find anything today or tomorrow or even years from now. So he returned to the rest, empty handed.

Duke quickly ran to help Jinx, but skidded to a halt, when Snake eyes zoomed past him. He saw Snake eyes take Scarlett from Jinx's arms, and walk back towards him. 'So the great Snake eyes does have a soft side.' he realized.

"Snakes is she okay?" The ninja nodded and began to sprint to the others. Duke looked back to Jinx who was only feet away, so he ran to her.

Jinx stared blankly, when the blonde came bounding to her.

"J-Jinx" he shivered a little from the cold rain.

She sighed and gave her wrists willingly.

"..."

"Aren't you gonna put me in cuffs or something?'Cause after all I'm still a 'menace' to the Joes." She restated Tunnel Rat's words.

"I'm not putting you in cuffs, because today you proved that you are committed and willing to do things not asked of you, as well as our trust in you. So here", Duke opened his hand "Take your communicator, fellow Joe."

She examined it again, "No thanks."

"Wait! What? Why not Jinx?" he stuttered.

"I came here to work under Sensei, not you." she bluntly answered, that was the whole reason she came to America. Then she continued to walk back to the others.

"Jinx" Duke started when she'd already walked several feet past him, "Fine, you don't have to be a Joe. But, don't ever pull a stunt like that EVER again. You could've gotten Scarlett killed or even..."

Jinx's eyes widened, but she kept walking. Now was not the time to get sentimental, now was the time to look for answers from Red.

"Good job, 'little convict'", Tunnel Rat joked and patted her back.

"Thanks, I think..."she was new at this whole 'getting thanked for saving someone' thing.

"Yo, Jinx!"

'Damn it!' Jinx bit her lip and slowly turned around.

"Hey... Ripcord." Hopefully it didn't sound too forced.

"Where ya heading ninja convict?" Even when Ripcord, was injured he still had mouth.

"I'm goin to the Coyote, I hate the rain!" She lied, she loved the beautiful rain, even if it was pelting on her.

"Oh, okay." he dissmissed her.

She used her ninja speed, to head to the Coyote. Her eyes quickly scanned the vehicle for any intruders, but luckily found none. The back doors were open, and she poked her head inside. Scarlett was lying on her back, with an oxygen mask on her face. Jinx quietly crawled inside and sat across from Scarlett her back touching the metal walls with her legs crossed.

"Red", she whispered but the woman didn't move.

"Pssst, Red!" she said a little louder, and Red's finger jumped.

Jinx sighed, this was stupid talking to an unconscious person, it was a one sided conversation.

"Even though you can't hear me, I'm gonna talk to you." She looked down at her lap a twiddled her thumbs. "Let's start with why I don't like you." She said awkwardly. "I think your going to end up hurting sensei somehow, I don't know why or how but I just know. He cares too much about you, to the point that he's willing to die for you! In the Arashikage we learn to not be close to anyone! But the poor fool, broke that boundary. I sometimes understand it but other times I want to make him realize why it's not good to be close to anyone."

Tears began to slide down, her already soaked skin. "But when I was kept in here, I heard you talking to him and telling him that it wasn't his fault that someone died, got hurt or something happened. Then you told him something about him not being cursed, and that death didn't follow him. So the reason he cares is because he feels guilty? Is that why?" her tear filled eyes looked to Red but she still wasn't moving.

"Another reason I hate you is that he looks at you like he's so proud of you, like you're the only one of your kind. Well you're not! I trained endlessly and tirelessly to get where I am today. But it's not enough, he's never looked at me like he has you. It was always hard for me to impress sensei, but there were times where we'd both be okay, even if I did piss him off. I know, he still sees me as a little girl but I'm not and I never want to be a little girl again!"

She sighed, maybe she had to dig deeper to find the truth, her truth that's always been shadowed by a lie. "I think I love him Red, and that's probably why I hate you the most. Because before I met you I thought of Snake eyes as an older brother, but when I saw how differently he treated you from me I realized that I loved him. So knowing that I loved someone made me want to drive a blade through my chest, because father always told me 'There are many sins that we humans have, but the one that would blind our eyes and minds and open our hearts is love. True love is what will one day end us, the Arashikage.'"

"Hey, Jinx?" she turned her face to the doors, hoping they hadn't heard.

"Yea?" she prented to rub her eyes, while she wiped the tears away.

"We're gonna roll out to celebrate." Tunnel Rat chirped, thumbs up. "Hell yeah! I need to unwind!" Ripcord cheered.

"You coming with?"

"What about Red?" she asked looking back at her.

"Nah, don't worry. She doesn't drink anyways." Duke threw his hand dismissively knowing that Scarlett was sometimes a buzz kill.

"Yeah, sure", she got up and walked out only to bump into black body suit. Her eyes trolled up, "Sensei."

He looked down at her and shook his head, then turned to the others.

"You're not gonna let the kid have fun?" Duke stepped in and stood face to face with ninja.

Snake eyes pointed to Jinx and signaled death with his hand.

Duke narrowed his eyes at him, "She's coming with us anyways."

Snake eyes reached for his sword, keeping eyes locked with the stupid ass leader, and unsheathed it. Duke stepped back. The others stared, knowing this wasn't going to end well. But they began to cheer, "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Scarlett's eyes began to roll under her lids, and she heard male cheering, 'What's that noise?' Her eyes shot open when the sound of metal sliced the air. She bent her legs on the floor and then jumped on her feet. Shock stunned her when she saw Snake eyes holding a blade to Duke's neck, and Duke pointing a plasma gun to Snake eyes head.

"What the hell is going on?" she yelled and the cheering died down. But Snake eyes and Duke were still in the lock, each pressing their weapons on the other's skin.

"What are you two doing?" Scarlett's green eyes went from one and then the other, then when she caught a glimpse of a black leather jacket, she pulled her own plasma gun and pointed it at Jinx.

"Scarlett what do you think you're doing!", Jinx yelled tightly holding a Sai in her hands.

"You tried to kill me, I knew I shouldn't of given you a second chance, but I'm not making that mistake twice." She pulled the barrel back and let it fly back. Then she felt a sword on her shoulder and turned to Snake eyes who said 'Don't make me do this, Scarlett'

"You son of a bitch! She's injured" Duke yelled and kicked Jinx's weapon out of her grasp.

All for of them stood pointing weapons at each other. All intent on killing if at even the slightest movement of either of them. Jinx saw that they're openings and she took them: she jumped kicked Duke on the side, and grabbed his gun then she shot at Scarlett which made her drop the gun. She picked her own Sai up and pointed the gun at Red and her blade at Duke, who was on his back glaring at her. So only her and Snake eyes were left standing.

"I saved your ass from the fire, Red." she loaded the gun.

Snake eyes sheathed his swords and gave a hand to Duke. Duke grunted when the ninja helped him, while Jinx's arm fell to her side still holding the gun. "No one dies today."

"Yeah, I saw we forget the bar and I make ya'll some home cooking!" Roadblock quickly went to the driver's seat and started the Coyote. "Tunnel and Rip ya'll might wanna get on!" The two started running after the Coyote, and Duke and Jinx reached their arms out, helping them back in.

Scarlett took another look at Jinx, 'Maybe she wasn't lying, maybe she was telling the truth, but if that were true then why did she point that gun at me?' She shook her head, and decided to go sit down somewhere peaceful.

Scarlett rested her head on the cream colored seat and stared out the window. All the beautiful colors in the sky where making her head hurt, even more than it did now.

"Hey Red" Roadblock asked softly.

"Hmmmm?" she raised her head from the seat.

"You alright? Like not physically but I- mean with Jinx?" she could tell he was uncomfortable about asking her that.

"Yeah, it's not the best tie but we're getting along, slowly" she emphasized the 'slowly' part so Roadblock would drop the conversation. Her green eyes strayed to the window again and she saw a motorcyclist riding beside them. She smirked the bike was just like Snake eyes.

"Roadblock."

"Yeah, Red" he answered eyes still on the road.

"Are there any motorcycle places around here?"

"..Hmm, not around here maybe Dolden Ridge but that place is miles away. Why?"

Greens eyes widened, it was Snake eyes' bike! The rider turned to her and stuck the middle finger up at her. Then they began to inch closer to the Coyote. 'What the hell are you doing?' Her eyes quickly diverted to the front, and there he/she was in front of them.

"Roadblock where'd that bike come from?" she yelled.

"I dunno, all I know is that it's Snakes' bike!" He began to sharply steer left when the motorcycle slowed down in front.

"The hell-" The Coyote was pushed to the right curb of the road again and again.

"Red, it's Cobra!"

Scarlett grabbed the gun and opened the right window and slid out.

"Red! Kill those Sons of bitches for hurting my baby!" He steered left again to push the Cobra vehicle to the curb.

Scarlett laid down on Coyote's top, and pointed the gun to the Cobra's tires. Her eyes looked through the scope and saw the perfect shot, her index finger began to squeeze the trigger when the scope fell off. Scarlett inspected the gun, then the other half fell off. A shadow loomed over her and she swallowed. Then a sword was embedded into the Coyote. Her eyes looked up it was Snake eyes.

"Jinx?" she asked already knowing the answer. She looked back to the front, Jinx had taken off on Snake eyes' bike and was nowhere in sight.

"Then why did you stop me from shooting at the Cobra's?" she stood up glaring at him. He put his hand up, revealing a dynamite trigger and he pushed the red trigger. They both turned to see the Cobra Vehicle go up in flames, and crash off the road. She had ducked away knowing huge chunks of metal would fly.

The night had already taken over when the Coyote parked in a small grassy plain, and Duke, Ripcord and Tunnel Rat awoke. Roadblock made his famous 'home cooking', and Scarlett told everyone about Jinx's departure. When all the Joes finished eating, Roadblock angrily walked back to the Coyote and fix it, Tunnel Rat and Ripcord threw empty cans into the air and shot at them (trying to see who's the better shooter), Scarlett went off somewhere looking for reception on her phone, while Duke sparred with Snake eyes.

Duke threw his fist at Snake eyes, who quickly dodged then squatted down and swung his leg. Duke grunted when he crashed onto the ground, and a sword pointed to his face signaling, 'You're dead now'

He pushed it away and got up, "Best 7 out of 15!"

Snake eyes dropped his blade, nodded and got in a fight stance. Duke smirked and did the same. He threw his leg in the air and kicked Snake eyes, but it was countered when the ninja threw his leg in the air and then kicked Duke in the stomach, causing him to fly back.

"What the hell Snakes? I thought you said no 'fly backs'!" Duke saw Snake eyes grab his sword, and hold it out in front of him, then turned to the road. There was nothing but darkness; he turned back to Snakes who was still tense. Then the sound of a motor filled the air, and sure enough a motorcycle rode up, showing off like Snakes did: skidding at an angle then stopping barely, before any loss of control happened.

The rider stood up and pulled their leg off the other side. Duke and Snake eyes watched in horror as the rider took off the helmet, revealing Jinx. Her face was smirking, but also stern. Snake eyes approached her cautiously, and when he stood closely he sheathed his blade then backhanded her again. This time though, her face didn't turn violently like it did last time.

"Hello, sensei", she bowed respectfully.

Then she turned to Duke, "Sorry I knocked ya'll out, but I had to. I saw that Cobra thing following us, and I didn't want you all to know about it, after all we were celebrating, weren't we?"

He stood up and walked to stand in front of her, "I thought I told you to not do anything stupid."

"Nah, come on! I told you I'm here for Sensei, not you Joes!" she rolled her eyes, then set the helmet down and ran to the table looking for scraps.

"If you wanna go and take a ride with me

We 3 wheelin' in th fo'

wit these gold D's

Oh why must I feel this way?

Hey must be the money!"

She sang as looked for the scraps. Snake eyes looked back to Duke ,"Hey, I didn't give the ninja an I POD" He put his hands defensively up, hoping Snake eyes wouldn't kill him when he heard the rest of the song.

End of whatever chapter!

Hopefully It made more sense, and the setting was better explained.
