Chapter 3: Realization and Journeys
By the time Jiraiya got us out of the thick forest (yes, with me slung over his shoulder like fresh game), the sun was begging to set. For once I kept my big ass mouth shut, since the damn thing seemed to get me into trouble, even with Jiraiya grilling me for what seemed to be hours in the forest. In hind sight running away from him seemed a little rash, what with me not having any real plan and all, but I couldn't stay here with him I couldn't. If I lingered too long with him his fate would intermingle with mine.
My abuela (grandma) always warned me to be cautious who I allowed around me, because sooner or later their fate would affect mine. I always blew her off, pretending that it was a myth all little old Spanish ladies made up, but I knew in my gut it was true. Because once you are born your life is never truly yours, parts of it belong to those around you. I learned that the hard way.
If I stayed with Jiraiya he would pull me into the center plot (a.k.a Naruto Uzumaki), and I would end up dying, or at the very least regretting my very existence, and I couldn't have that. I needed to get home, and where there was fucking people walking on water and resurrecting corpses, there was a fucking way home, and I needed it. And I would get it by any fucking means necessary.
So I knew I had to get away from him, and quick. Now that I knew the language, it wouldn't be so hard to get away and support myself somehow, all I needed to do was get some proper clothes and give the old perv the slip.
Easier said than done
And now that I opened my big fucking mouth he wouldn't keep his eyes off of me too long, but to be fair I thought he was trying to mutilate and/or kill me.
But I didn't regret my little escape attempt, now I got a good look at the environment here. There were a lot of trees, so getting to a heavily wooded area would be in my best interest, somewhere a giant like him wouldn't be able to maneuver as easily. People here also seemed to mind their own business, none of them tried to stop me on my wild sprinting, so that was another good point. These villages wouldn't really notice or care if another stranger popped up.
The big question is how to figure out to get home. I had a higher chance of figuring it out with this old coot, but if I don't get it in enough time then I would be royally screwed. I couldn't take that chance.
My train of thought was suddenly halted by a jolt. My line of vision was suddenly very tilted. Craining my neck to get a good look at what was happening. Blanching at what I saw.
The damn pervert was hanging off the side of some building, peeking into a small window, and if his blush, grin and the quiet giggling coming from the other side of the window was any indication of what he was doing. He seemed to be enjoying himself until there was a scream from somewhere below.
Looking down I saw some middle aged lady holding her face, ready to let another scream rip. This got the damn pervert moving again.
"Uh-oh," was all the buffoon said before he launched us once again into the air. Shrieking and cursing was all that was left of our presence there.
"He he he, sorry about the detour, Alien-chan," using his other hand to rub the back of his head, the bastard had the nerve to look sheepish. Whatever.
All I gave him was a blank stare before I let my head drop back down. Resuming my plotting.
"Huh? Still playing the silent card?" he condescending voice came from above, "not but an hour ago you were quite chatty."
Burn in hell you fucking dick
Laughing quietly to himself he picked up the speed. I didn't even really notice how far I had ran, the hospital was still I bit farther away.
Taking in the view of the little village, it was actually quite pretty, but somehow, that made me even more nervous.
Once we go to the base of the hospital, instead of using the door, he once again began to scale the side of the building. Waving to patience on his way up. Fucking idiot.
Once he made it to what seemed to be my room, he slid the window open and let himself in.
On the way in I noticed some red flowers hanging on the outside of the window. So that what those freaking hooks were for.
Huh
Flopping me on the bed, he made his way to the door and yelled something out into the hallway. Coming back over he pulled his chair to sit right next to my bed.
A few seconds later a man in what seemed to be his late thirties came in, a young woman accompanying him. A long white coat gave me the indication that he was a doctor.
"Sannin-sama I would gladly appreciate if you didn't snatch my patience away while in my care," he huffed out as he came to a stop in front of me.
"It wasn't my fault honest!" he cried, "Alien-chan here just couldn't contain her excitement to see your wonderful village Yoshirou-sensei!"
"Please don't call me that Sannin-sama ," clearing his throat he turned to me, "now miss I'm going to check your vitals, is that okay with you?"
Only giving him a stare he took that as a confirmation. Grabbing my hand he put two fingers on my wrist, when his fingers began to glow. Fascinated I watched more intently as I felt some sort of syrupy warmth run its way into my body. Even though my mind knew it was chakra my body still squirmed at the invader.
"Almost done miss, no need to fuss now," came his calm tenor voice.
True to his word, a few moments later that chakra left me in peace as he pulled away, writing something on his board.
"Now I am still astounded to meet a living being that has no chakra, but the energy in your body is quite similar to that of chakra," pushing up his glasses he continued, "it much more raw and potent than normal human chakra, and it seems to have a certain degree of independence, seen while I was checking you, It seems to either move around my chakra or try to expel it, without your need to command it. Very interesting"
I simply sat there trying to take the information in without hurting my poor brain. So did that mean that everyone from earth had this shit?
"You seem to be completely fine, aside from the lack of chakra, I would say that you can leave at anytime."
Jiraiya pulled out a small pouch that jingled a bit as he handed it to the doctor.
"I don't need to in force the need for your silence about this matter do I, Yoshirou-sensei?" the doctor took the pouch and pocketed it.
"As interesting as this situation is, it never happened and it will never come to light, you have my word Sannin-sama," with that he turned and left, his little assistant trotting behind him.
Did I just witness a fucking medical officer take a fucking bribe?
"Now that that's over, we still have some business Alien-chan," he turned his full attention to me, "we still need to discuss what happened earlier this evening."
I kept my silence, turning my head to see the last remnance of sunlight slip over the horizon. A beat of silence followed before he spoke again.
"Mah! How rude of a child you are, your mother must be weeping wherever she is, to have raised such a rude child," came his haughty voice.
Mom
That got my blood pumping real fast.
"Don't you fucking talk about my mother you pathetic sack of shit," I hissed out as I glanced over my shoulder at his amused look, "you don't know shit about me."
"Then why don't you inform me?"
I wasn't going to fall for that innocent trust me act. I couldn't afford to let anything else slip.
"I see…well I'll just have to take you to Konoha then and give you to the TI department," he said between looking at me and his nails, "you'll become their problem in about 2 weeks."
So that how long I had to get away from him. 2 weeks. I wasn't going to grace his threat with a response so as to spite him I lifted up the scratchy uncomfortable blankets on the equally scratchy and uncomfortable bed and rolled over to look out the window.
He huffed mumbling how an alien that came from a ball of light shouldn't be so ungrateful to their savior. Savior my ass, but that ball of light thing caught some of my attention. I'd have to ask him about that in the morning.
I didn't realize how tired I was until my head hit the pillow, guess getting blown up, transported to a different dimension, screaming and running would wear anyone out. Right?
Note the sarcasm.
Surprisingly. It was the best sleep I got in ages.
"Wake up little Alien-chan!" boomed the perverts voice, "We have a bit of a journey ahead of us."
Some sort of cloth hit my face.
"Take a quick shower first, you're starting to smell."
The indignation
None the less I got up and made my way to the bathroom, and proceeded to wash away the dirt and grime of yesterday.
Once that was done I finally got a good look at what Jiraiya threw at me. It was a simple red short sleeve tunic with slits on the side held together with criss-cross string. To go with it was duller red mid-thigh shorts. Finally there were the ugly looking sandals they wore in this world, lucky for me they were black, so it mask some of the ugly. I really didn't want to know how he knew my size.
Throwing everything on I exited the bathroom only to see the room empty. Did this guy not learn? Or was he just that cocky?
Right when I was about to make my way to the window again he burst into the room, nearly giving me a frick frackin heart attack. The little shit did that on purpose.
Thankfully a heavenly smell followed after him. My stomach giving a roar of both approval and want.
"Hahaha, don't worry Alien-chan, I go us some breakfast!" he boomed once again. He sure as hell was in a good mood.
"Shut up and just give me the fucking food already," I mumbled as I held my hand out. He gave a huff of disapproval.
"You should really stop talking like that, little ladies shouldn't talk like that," he muffled out as he handed me two freshly made rice balls. Taking them in my hand I followed him as he whirled around and began walking down the hall way.
"I'll stop talking like this when you learn to keep your dick in check, old man," I managed to say around a giant bite of rice and salmon filling.
Jiraiya halted mid step as I walked by, gawking at me like I grew another head, but he quickly got over it and followed after me down the stairs.
Once we made it to the front doors of the hospital I could feel the heat and humidity coming through the cracks. My testy hair already curling up. Damn.
I was right, as soon as we stepped outside I was assaulted by a way of heat and moisture.
"Ugghh! Humidity," I simmered out. Jiraiya just laughed.
"Don't worry, its only humid towards the border, as we make our way further into the Land of Fire it'll turn to dry heat," he stated from my side. I really did hate the heat though.
"Oh! That's right I got something for you!" he exclaimed as he pulled a small scroll from his ninja pouch. Going through some hand seals he made a backpack appear, "here this is your now, it has another pair of clothes, some onigiri and some medical supplies."
Hesitantly I took the bag, I didn't like how nice he was being. It was suspicious.
"Goodness, hurry up and put the bag on we have a long way ahead of us," he ground out, turning to continue his way down the main path of the village. Taking that as an initiative I threw the back pack on and followed behind.
"By the way Alien-chan my name is Jiraiya-sama, the great toad sage of Myoboku mountain and self-proclaimed super pervert!" he even did the little kabuki dance.
I really hope my disgusted face said everything.
I mean I'm down for being a perv, but like in silence man.
"But you probably already knew that didn't you little girl?" came his mischievous reply. Giving him one last glare I walked a head of him, only to glance back for a moment.
"My name isn't alien or little girl you damn pervert," I huffed out as he continued looking, "it's Eva."
With that I turned around and continued walking, the pervert coming to pace himself by my side.
He even had the nerve to have a smile on his face
Damn coot
Somewhere farther away, there lurked something dark, sinister, hungry
And calculating
