Part 17
After showering Rue pulled on a clean outfit and went outside. Rather than wander aimlessly she went into her families shop.
Her father was standing behind the counter taking Guy's order. Guy was with two of his students.
"Well, look who finally decided to leave her room." Arin said taking notice of his daughter
"Yea… Mom decided I should be upset outside. She even used the mom voice and threw 'Ruby' into it." She told him.
"I'm so sorry to hear that kid. But you did need to get out of that room." Arin said before turning to Guy again.
"Um I'm sorry… But who's Ruby?" Tenten asked looking at Rue.
Rue turned to Tenten and Neji. Neji gave her the same strange look he had when he first saw her. It didn't bother her this time.
"I am." She said simply.
"But Guy told us your name was Rue." Tenten said, confused
"Rue is probably short for Ruby." Neji said
"That's right. As an infant my name went from Ruby to Rue." She informed them. Before either could ask or say more Rue went up to the counter
"Need anything delivered?" She asked her dad.
"Nope. Why don't you go and see your friends? I'm sure Naruto would love a visit from you." Arin suggested.
"I'm taking a break from Naruto."
"So see Gaara. Since you may not see him again once he leaves."
Guy and Tenten stiffened at Gaara's name.
"Gaara's probably mad at me still for implying he was broken."
"Are you really going to let that stop you?" Arin asked.
"I would. That guy's scary." Tenten interjected and Rue gave her a sharp look.
"Thank you for your opinion. But I have to know, who asked for it?" Rue asked sourly.
"Rue! That was incredi-"
"No, she's right… It was between you two. I shouldn't have said anything." Tenten said quickly as Rue walked out of the shop
