Making Friends

Chibi didn't know why she was laughing exactly. Maybe it was the look on her partner's face, which was priceless as Chibi turned her head and looked back at Ryouko. But Chibi was surprised that Ryouko was keeping up with her pace. Ninjas were very hard to follow but the gunner seemed to have no problem chasing Chibi…in fact she was gaining on her! At this point, Chibi could A) stop running, act like an adult and give the paper back to discuss the important matter at hand or B) keep running and see just how Ryouko reacts. Well, the teen reasoned that she wasn't an adult so she jumped up into a tree and turned to look down at the other. When she turned to look behind her, she took a step back out of reflex, "whoa!"

Ryouko was there, up in the tree! Startled, Chibi lost her footing, and was falling backwards. Ryouko responded swiftly and got a hold of the ninja's right ankle before she could fall to the ground. For a moment, there was silence, with the exception of both teens' accelerated breathing.

"So how long do you plan on letting me hang like this?" Chibi said breaking the silence.

"As long as it takes for you to hand over that paper" Ryouko said nodding towards the now crumpled piece of paper. Chibi shifted her eyes to the paper in her left hand and then returned to look at Ryouko.

"Is that why you were chasing me? You could've just asked" Chibi said.

"Oh really? Then may I have that paper?" Ryouko asked, changing from one hand to the other for better grip.

"No" Chibi said grinning.

"Then I'm going to let you hang there until you do."

"But the blood is rushing to my head!"

"That's your problem"

"Oh geez thanks Ryouko"

"No problem Chibi"

……

"No really let me go"

"Now why would I do that?"

"Because it is very unprofessional of you"

"Uh-huh and who was it that took the paper away and started running like a child?"

Chibi's face was turning red as all the blood was traveling down her body.

"Let go"

"Let go?"

"yes"

"…you sure that's wise?"

"yes"

"you sure?

"yes!"

"Okay"

And Ryouko let go.

And Chibi let a sigh of relief…before falling flat on her back. Their conversation took so long that Chibi forgot exactly where she was dangling from.

"Ow" Chibi lay looking up at the tree she fell from. The paper she was holding now floated in the air, seeing as she let it go, before landing on the ground. Ryouko jumped down from the tree.

"Well that was fun" she said, as she towered over Chibi. Chibi stared at her.

"Sure,fun" was Chibi's response and Ryouko let out a laugh. She stretched out her hand and helped Chibi up.

The sun had fully set into the horizon and they were shrouded in darkness. This time Chibi waited until Ryouko was finished reading, which was taking a while now that their source of light was gone. As she waited, something occurred to the ninja.

"You know what I just realized?" she started as she turned to Ryouko. Subconsciously, Ryouko moved the paper far from the ninja's reach.

"Wha—I won't take it away again! Geesh, as I was saying, I just realized...where is our third person?" asked Chibi.

"Our…what?" Ryouko said raising one eyebrow in question.

"Our third comrade. L did tell you that you were going to be working in a group of three didn't he?"

"Yes it also says that in here" Ryouko said pointing to the paper.

"Lemme see" Chibi looked at the paper and began to read it.

It seems there are abandoned buildings and factories that have not been active for many years, but I have gathered some information that suspicious people have been going in. I have looked into it and the power supplies have been turned on again for some buildings. I want you to confirm my suspicions and try to infiltrate the buildings andfactories. I would usually send in one of my spies, but they are currently busy and also I fear that some of the people might be ninjas. I have provided a map of the locations and the one place you will be staying. Memorize it and then burn it along with these instructions. Also, you may be wondering where your third companion is. They will join you sometime on the third day after the sun has fully set into the night. I trust that you will know who it is by just looking at them. So, just go in and find out exactly what is going on in those buildings. If it's just minor gangs leave them for the police. Remember your goal is to bring them alive, yourselves included.

"What does he mean "you will know who it is by just looking?" What? Is the color of their skin purple or something?"

Ryouko responded by taking out a lighter and turning on the flame.

"What are you doing?" Chibi asked eyeing the lighter.

"Burning the paper" and she held the paper above the flame and let it burn to ashes.

Chibi looked at the ashes on the ground and then back at Ryouko who was doing the same thing to the map. The flame engulfed the paper until there was nothing left. Chibi blinked a couple of times before she spoke. "Um…I hope you had those memorized."

"…I was thinking ninjas had good memories" Ryouko said turning to Chibi.

Chibi gaped at Ryouko "I didn't even look at the map!!!!!!"

"…Then we have a problem" Ryouko said.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh, man!" Chibi said freaking out. L was counting on them and already they have made a mistake. "Whadda we do? Whadda we do? Whadda we do?" Chibi said pacing back and forth. "If we fail to infiltrate that site, L will be very angry…and you don't want to anger the greatest detective in the world!" Chibi was racking her brain to remember if L had mentioned the city before sending them off but she was drawing up a blank. The whole time Chibi was having her little episode; Ryouko stood arms crossed, with a pensive look on her face.

"I have an idea" she finally said. The ninja did not hear her; she continued to walk back and forth. Ryouko sighed.

"Chibi pay attention" the gunner stepped in front of Chibi and stopped her by the shoulders.

"What?" asked Chibi. Ryouko let her go and continued with what she was going to say.

"I thought of a plan for us. Look, Ryuzaki told us to go to that city and infiltrate the suspicious buildings. Currently we do not know the locations of those buildings and factories so let's not worry about that. Let's focus on figuring out which city we're supposed to get to. Now, he said that our comrade will join us on the third day the sun sets, so going from that, I'm assuming that it will take us three days to get to said city. In case that the city we go to is not the right one, if our third partner doesn't appear then we know we are not at the right city and we go to another one close by, if there is one close by. Do you know any cities that it will take three days to get to?" Ryouko asked.

Chibi blinked a couple of times at Ryouko's explanation.

'I can see why L picked her now' she thought of all the cities in the region and something clicked when she thought of three days.

"Kanshimei City! They have the greatest bags of chips!" Chibi blurted out. Ryouko gave her a look.

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing. So Kanshimei City? "

Chibi nodded

"Okay, let's go" Ryouko said commencing to walk on the path again.

"Sweet! I can restock on hot chips" Chibi grinned.

Ryouko laughed at that."Chibi, I think you're going to be a good comrade" said Ryouko

"Just a comrade? Lame. I think of you more as a friend" Chibi smiled putting her hands behind her head.

"Sure you do" Ryouko smiled.

And both continued into the night towards their first mission to save humankind.
