Fox Fire

Chapter 2

Ninja Fox?

"talking"

'thinking'

-FF/Change POV-

"She was really pretty.. but, the whole thing was really weird." Arashi said. "Well, of course it was weird. How many people do you know that can come flying off a mountain and land in a creek and just jump up?" One of his teammates said.

"I didn't say she came off the mountain. I said that's the direction she came from." Arashi said.

"... well, if she's bouncing off of things, she had to have come off the mountain in order to be going fast enough." The teammate said.

"...That's a good point. But when I said 'weird' I meant the way she ran off." Arashi pointed out. "It's like she heard something."

"... Well then, you should've heard it too, Mr. Super-Ninja." The quiet teammate joked. Arashi made a face. " You guys suck... Anyway, let's start training before Jairaya uses this oppurtunity to make us go on peeking missions for him." The others quickly got up at the idea of having to peek for Jairaya. The grabbed shuriken and began periodically flinging them at dummies.

-Akira's POV-

Akira grumbled as she watched her instructor babble on about how ladies should love arranging flowers and painting during their spare time. 'You'd think I'd be out in the training field right now. But noooooooo. I've got the konouchi stuff down, now I need to learn to be a 'lady' Gah... This old hag is sooo boring... I wonder what's going on down at that ninja village...hmmmm.' Akira grabbed a bunch of long stemmed roses and put them in a vase in front of her. Then she created a clone, and teleported away, leaving the poor clone to learn flower arranging while Akira ran to Konoha.

-FF to Akira's Arrival-

Akira peeked her head through some bushes and watched Arashi and some people she didn't recognize fling shuriken. She sat on a rock watching them for a while, until she realized something. For the most part, they all sucked. "Hey... What are you doing?" She asked. Arashi jumped. She laughed her head off. The teammates looked at her. "Uh. Hi. I'm Akira. Anyway, why do you throw like that?" She asked again. Arashi brushed off his knees. "What do you mean?" He asked. Akira jumped off the rock and selected a shuriken. "You're arms are so stiff. You're arms should be like a whip, or a viper." She said, snapping her wrist and throwing the shuriken, hitting it directly in the middle of the target, right next to Arashi's. The teammates gaped. "WOW. YOUR'E GOOD AS SUPER-NINJA!" Akira tilted her head.

" Super Ninja?" She asked. Arashi shook his head. "Don't ask." Akira blinked, as the teammates tried moving their arms like whips to toss shuriken.

"Soooo. Where you from?" Arashi asked. Akira shrugged. "Near here.. " She said. "Like, in the village or.."

"Oh, no. Not in the village. Running distance." She said. Arashi was quiet for a few minutes. He couldn't think of anything that close that wasn't in the village. "Soo, um, What's up?" He said, shaking his head at his own lameness. ".. The Sky?" She asked, tilting her head. He laughed. Akira looked up and scowled. "Awww man. Caught again.. Mabey I'll get away tomorrow!" Akira grinned, then she turned and ran. "You're right. That is weird." Arashi's teammate said. Arashi just continued wondering where she was from.
