Love and Ninjas
Chapter 4
That night, while Pucca was surfing the internet, Garu called her and they started to talk. Garu's words seem to have trailed off when Pucca caught sight of something very relevant. "Hello? ...Pucca you still there?" wondered Garu. "What? Oh, sorry Garu, I just found something very interesting on the net," replied Pucca. "Really? What is it?"
" I found an article on the Daily Ninja Newspaper and it relates to ninja squads! It says:
Saturday, May 16th, Sooga Village. A fellow ninja and his squad had won the regional championships for Ninjitsu performed in a group. The name of the leader of the skilled group, is Tobe. He and his many identical ninjas flipped and sliced their way into the provincials! Next week, Tobe's squad, or as they are popular known as, The X Heads will be battling out Lions And Dragons!"
" Ok, now that is convenient! So what do we do? Do we just form a group and start practicing?" asked Garu. Pucca chewed on the inside of her cheek and thought about their future Ninja Squad. "Yes, but first we need a full team," replied Pucca reassuringly.
School had ended for the day and Pucca was on her way out the door. Garu had a dentist appointment so she had to walk home alone. On her way out of the school, Pucca heard a faint crying coming from the bushes. She quietly walked through the bushes and her eyes widened as she discovered Ching curled up on the ground crying. "Ching? What are you doing here?" asked Pucca softly. Ching's head snapped up and she hopelessly wiped at her running mascara, "Oh...Pucca, is it? Hey. Ring-Ring's dating Abyo right now. She has been since four months ago. She knew I had a crush on Abyo, yet she still doesn't care! I went to confront her about it just now and she kicked me off of the cheerleading squad! She's such a boob!"
Pucca sat down beside her and pulled out a tissue and a compact mirror from her backpack and handed them to Ching. Ching thanked Pucca and dabbed carefully at her eyes. "So, Pucca, I heard about how you and Garu are forming a ninja squad. And that you're looking for a newcomer," Ching brought up suspiciously. Pucca looked at her and smiled, "I bet you want to join! And that's fine by me. So what ninja abilities do you have?"
Ching reached for her back and whipped out two swords. Ching stood up and began to perform top of the line swordsmanship. Her movements were swift and precise. All her energy was concentrated on her swords. She was flexible and fast. Pucca watched in amazement as Ching landed sofly beside her, ending her routine. "So," began Ching, "am I in the squad?"
