Fox Fire
Chapter 4
Fox Trot
"talking"
'thinking'
-FF/Change POV-
Akira kicked her opponent down and sighed. "I'm soo bored. What's the point of doing this?" She moped irritably. Her instructor sighed. "It's for practice, Lady Akira." Akira growled at that. "Meh. Well, I'll just 'practice'." Akira said, forming a handsign and then dissappearing. Her instructor sighed. "That's not what I meant..."
Akira ran down the hill, carefully leaping over fallen trees and large rocks. She ran though her familiar path to the leaf village, eager for something better to do than listen to her stupid instructors. She lept over the gate, and onto a tree branch. She climbed up the tree and looked over the village. She smiled, and grinned. She looked around, her sharp eyes falling on the training grounds. "Awww. Ara's not practicing today... but, mabey he's got the day off." She smiled. She looked around, and spied an old couple that needed help. She jumped down from the tree, and started walking towards the people.
" YOU!" A girl suddenly jumped down and pointed at Akira. Akira blinked.
"Eh, um, what?" Akira asked. The girl put her hands on her hips.
"YOU'RE the one who's dating Arashi Kazama!" The girl said. Akira blinked, and then growled inwardly. 'stupid fangirls' She shrugged, and stood up, her red hair sweeping towards the floor, framing her figure and making her seem taller. "Yeah. I am. why?" Akira asked.
"... THAT'S NOT FAIR. You don't even live here. You aren't even a ninja! How come you get to date the best guy?" The girl aruged. Akira twitched again and glared. "... It's none of your business." Akira informed her. The girl continued glaring. ".. yes. it. is. There are at least a dozen other girls who totally agree with me." Akira was slowly growing aloof and indifferent.
"...What, you don't feel confident enough to fight me on your own?" Akira said calmly. The girl stuck her head up. "You're not worth fighting. Besides, what makes you think Arashi-sama will stay with you? You're just too weird. You don't live here, but you walk here everyday. What are you, a forest-girl. Loooser. Arashi isn't gonna date a forest-loser." The girl said, humphing and walking away.
Akira cursed the girl to get food poisoning the next time she ate. Akira stalked through the paths less traveled in the village. She glared at anyone that looked at her, and walked further to the less popular part of town. She sighed, and walked around, until she ended up in a quiet spot near a tree. She climbed the tree, sat in it, and pulled out a mirror. "...Red eyes, red hair, red clothes..." she mumbled. She closed her eyes and waited for any movements, or sounds of breathing. She opened her eyes, and then looked in the mirror again. "Red ears.. red tails... not forest girl... demon girl... But, is it the same thing?" Akira mumbled, making her ears and tails go away. She sighed.
-Arashi's POV-
Arashi had been walking down the road, when one of his fangirls pounced him. "Hiiiii Arashi--kuuuuun. Wanna hang out?" She asked. He shoved her off. "Not really. I'm trying to find my girl. friend." Arashi emphasized the last two words, trying to get them to be drilled into the girls head. The girl sighed. "You mean that red-headed weirdo? But, you have no idea where she lives. why would you want to be with someone who isn't a Konoha girl?" The fangirl moped. Arashi glared.
".. Akira.. is... the most.. amazing girl... on this earth... and no other girl compares. and she is weird. That's why she's unique. she's not some fangirl that stalks me everywhere." Arashi snapped. He turned around and walked away. The fangirl sighed.
Arashi continued walking, asking people if they'd seen his red-head. They pointed towards the forest and left. Arashi walked out, wandering around until the caught sight of a flash of red in the clearing. He walked up to it, and caught his breath. Akira was dancing around, spirling lazily, and then speading up and leaping. He quietly crept up to, as she quietly danced, weaving from side to side. Arashi caught her in a spin, spun her around, and started dancing with her. At first, Akira's eyes became surprised. But then they faded back to a soft smile, and she continued dancing, but now with Arashi. They spent hours, just dancing together. Akira snuggled.
"Hee hee. Ara, you found me." She said, smiling. Arashi kissed her nose, watching a blush spread across her face. "I'll always find you." He grinned. She blushed, and then snuggled again. "Yes, you will." Akira smiled, and, in the deepest recesses of her heart, knew it was true.
