Dancer
Uzumaki Naru woke up with a pounding headache and her friends sprawled across her bed. All of their coats were off and were thrown across the room. The room smelt of alcohol and the slight tinge of sweat. Naru groaned quietly as she moved herself into a sitting position, Kenta's head falling off her lap face-first onto Aiko's stomach. Naru rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand and looked around her room and blinked rapidly at what she saw.
It wasn't like the room had vomit on the grounds or weird things on her walls, it was the fact that the room was full. Of decorations.
Naruto looked at the orange banners that had 'Congratulations!' in white writing. Presents were stacked in a corner of her room, untouched and looking appealing with its shiny wrapping paper.
Naru blinked and sniffed when a slight smell came and her eyes widened. There were people in her house!
Naru swore in her head and lightly got out of bed, not disturbing her four friends, yet groaning when her head stopped her from making any more quick movements due to her headache. Slowly she took off her heels- why did she sleep with them on? -and opened her room door, quietly closed it and began walking down the stairs. Halfway down the stairs she touched the wall and her hand drifted over seals before she continued her descent with a kunai in her hand.
She planted her foot on the last step and got off the stairs, turning the corner and walking into her kitchen where a tall man was cooking breakfast. The smell of eggs invaded her nose and the heat from the stove hit her immediately.
As she got closer to the man, she stopped right behind him, her kunai poised at the back of his neck. She pushed the kunai forward so it poked against his skin so he could turn around. And turn around he did.
The man had brown, shoulder-length hair with bangs about his face and brown eyes. He wore his forehead protector like a bandanna, and wore the standard jōnin outfit with an apron on top of it, and had a senbon in his mouth.
When he turned around, he had a smirk on his face that made Naru's lips twitch upwards. The man turned back to what he was cooking and Naru moved he kunai from his neck. She crossed her arms over her chest and sat down at the table, looking at the man as he made breakfast.
"'Morning Naru" the man said, flipping eggs and letting them land on a nearby plate.
"Good morning Genma-kun" she said, her voice a bit hoarse.
Genma snorted quietly when she had to clear her throat after hearing her voice was gruff.
"You certainly had a…nice night" Genma said, cracking more eggs and pouring them into the frying pan.
Naru glared at his back and he laughed out loud when he felt slight KI in the air. As the 25 year old man laughed at her and made a load of breakfast, Naru got up from her seat and went up the stairs, gripping the railing like a lifeline. When she got back up the stairs, she headed straight for her bathroom, where she turned on the shower and turned on the taps for the bath and stripped, letting the water get hot before she stepped in.
While she waited a minute for the water to get hot, she decided to wipe off all of her makeup before throwing the wipes into the bin next to the toilet. She then turned off the water that was flowing into the bath, stepped into the shower and let the hot scalding water run down her back, her red hair getting wet and trailing down her back. She tipped her head back and closed her eyes, letting the water hit her face and wash away any sweat from last night as she picked up her soap and sponge.
Two minutes into her shower, the door opened and she turned her head to look at Yukiko who had a towel around her. The white haired girl smiled slowly at Naru and took off her towel before sliding into the bath that Naru had ran for her.
Seven minutes later, Naru stepped out of the shower and grabbed one of the two towels she always left in the bathroom –she did live alone after all.
She wrapped the towel around her body and grabbed the other towel to dry her hair before she also wrapped her hair in a towel. She then turned to her mirror that had slowly disappearing steam and looked at her reflection.
Striking blue eyes stared back at her and there was a strand or two of bright red hair sprawling down her face. Pale, clear skin and the tiniest of marks on her shoulder only seemed to add to her mystery. She sighed as she stared at her reflection. It wasn't that she didn't like what she saw, it was just that some people liked it too much and she didn't care.
Shaking her head, she turned to Yukiko who-was chin-deep in the bath. The brown eyed girl was opening her eyes and when she did, she looked at Naru who was already looking at her. The blue eyed girl threw Yukiko her towel and turned back to the mirror where she inspected the tiny bags under her eyes that formed from last night.
Soon after, Yukiko was out of the bath that had water going down the drain. Together the two girls inspected each other and deemed the other clean. Yukiko then went back to the bath to rinse it out before putting the plug back in and filling it back up for the other girls to clean themselves. Naru went to open the bathroom door, letting the heat and steam to go out.
Though when she did open the door, there stood Aiko, Keiko and Kenta, the two girls in towels and Kenta holding a toothbrush. Without any words, the two younger girls slipped out of the bathroom, smiles on their faces as they walked to Naru's bedroom.
When they got there, Naru scrunched up her nose at the smell of alcohol and sweat, moving to open the two windows in her room, drawing the curtains and letting sun into her dark room. The orange from the decorations sun brightly and flashed, making weird spots on the walls.
"Who put these up?" Yukiko said quietly her voice cracking once as she looked at the decorations and presents.
Naru shrugged and walked over to her wardrobe, opening it as Yukiko followed.
"I don't know. I mean, it could be Genma-kun- he's downstairs making breakfast- but there are too many different presents wrapped in too many different types of wrapping paper" Naru said as she stopped halfway into her wardrobe and pulled out two dresses.
She handed Yukiko a sleeveless neon coral coloured dress and held a tied at the waist denim and white skater dress for herself. Yukiko then went around her closet and got herself authentic coral Vans and got Naru authentic placid blue Vans. The two left the wardrobe and draped their things on the chairs in Naru's room, since the bed was all messed up.
Later on the two left the bedroom, practically hoping and skipping down the stairs, with the aforementioned clothes on, with their hair done and a white and brown backpack on Aiko's back and a black studded backpack on Naru's back. The two made their way into the kitchen where Genma was slowly putting food on six different plates and positioning them around the table. Steam was showing from the food and the window was opened. The two girls crowded around Genma and followed him wherever he went; walking to the frying pan, to the fridge, to the table.
"Will you two knock it off?!" Genma growled when he almost dropped a plate with lots of eggs on it.
Yukiko huffed and crossed her arms before sitting down at the table with her legs also crossed.
"You're no fun Genma-nii" she said before smiling at Naru who still stood next to Genma.
"Ne, ne Genma-kun" she said, latching onto his arm in a childish manner "Where did the decorations in my room come from?"
Genma frowned as he went to sink and dropped the frying pan in it.
"Decorations? I didn't put any decorations in your room"
Naru was about to protest, but at that moment Aiko, Keiko and Kenta came down the stairs, all dressed up for the day. Keiko was in a mint bralet and a skater skirt with studded heeled boots while Aiko was in a black and white bralet with a black chiffon skirt and velvet lace up boots. Kenta was in a wolf moon tank top with casual chinos and dark vans.
"Morning"
"G'day"
"'Sup"
"Hi"
"Eat"
"…Ohayō Gozaimasu?"
It was later on in the day and it was a lovely Saturday to spend in the central of Konoha. It was bustling with all sorts of people, young, old, ninja, civilian and the five- now six- oddballs were currently walking through the central of Konoha, looking at the tourist part of their village. Naru stayed close to Genma's side, even going as far as snuggling into the 25 year old man. Keiko stood next to Aiko and Yukiko and Kenta didn't leave each other's side for more than two minutes.
"I'm bored" Keiko whined, looking around at the people before pouting at Aiko who just rolled her eyes.
"I'm sure everyone else is" she replied before looking away and looking for something to do.
Keiko huffed and Yukiko decided to speak up from where she was standing on Kenta's left.
"We should go get on that bus and go to the mall" she said, jerking her head in the direction of a huge bus that people were getting on.
Their mall was outside of the village and it was a fifteen minute bus drive to get there. They couldn't have it in the village because it simply wouldn't fit and their village was a ninja village- it just didn't work.
"I mean like we can buy things, look at stuff…have fun" Yukiko said slyly, shrugging as her eyes glinted.
Aiko laughed as she caught onto the younger girl's train of thought. Keiko smiled and started to make her way to the bus, dragging Kenta- who just rolled his eyes and grabbed Yukiko's hand, who grabbed Aiko's hand, who grabbed Naru's hand, who was already practically stuck to Genma, so he came too.
Twenty minutes later saw them in a small village that was the more civilised and practical part of Konoha. It was about 2/5th's the size of Konoha and it was full of people wearing western clothes like them and had these things called bikes and scooters that the kids played on. They couldn't utilise them for ninjas because they would simply look ridiculous.
"I hate bus rides, they're so cramped and people touch me in awkward places" Aiko said, pushing her hair back and putting on her sunglasses.
The others just turned to look at her in disbelief.
"What?" she said defensively.
"Ai-chan….. You're touched in the Red Light District more than you would on a bus" Naru said finally, coming out of her conversation with Genma to tell her friend a fact.
Aiko shrugged and walked forward, her boots clicking on the pavement as she walked down the streets of Hi Bunmei. The others shook their heads and followed her, not really having a choice.
"Nē, Genma-kun, Kenta-baka, come here for a minute" Naru said from where she was huddled in a circle with the other girls "And bring the bags"
Kenta groaned as he stood up, carrying about 20 bags and Genma smiled as he lazily stood up carrying five bags in his left hand which were all Naru's. The younger male glared at the man as he trudged towards the things he had to call 'women'.
"What is it Naru-chan?" Genma said softly, looking down at her as she smiled at him.
"Um, we just need you to start running in a few minutes and Kenta needs to go with you. Just get on the quickest bus out of here" Naru said a sinister look coming over her face.
Genma raised an eyebrow at this but nodded slowly and looked at the rest of the girls worryingly as they chuckled, with dark aura's looming over them. He grabbed Kenta's arm and ignored the boy's groan as they walked away.
"Just be careful, this isn't Konoha, your status is worth nothing here" Genma said, not looking back as he pulled Kenta around the corner.
"They're just gonna cause trouble and you know it Genma-nii" Kenta said as the two neared the mall exit.
Genma shrugged "It's not like it's gonna kill anyone"
"And here I thought that ninja were supposed to be the responsible ones"
And so, it saw ten minutes later, two men with sweat drops, sitting as far away as they could get from the four cackling women at the back of the bus. The driver was driving away quickly, wide eyed and gaping as the mall in Hi Bunmei, was effectively now orange and sparkly with the words 'Yay! I'm Finally A Ninja!' sprawled all over it.
"I thought you said it wouldn't hurt anyone"
"It didn't… It's just gonna hurt people's pockets"
Okay, that's finished and I'm sorry it's delayed, I don't know what time it is because my laptop time is behind- I think- and I can't seem to find my phone, and I don't have a clock in my room because I hate the sound, and I won't go downstairs because I'm lazy. Sorry for any spelling mistakes, in case you did not know, I do not have a Beta : )
Thanks, R&R,
Ja ne!
