I was walking next to Iruka as we headed to the ramen shop when we paused watching some man yell at the sweet cook and his daughter, we shared a look as he started to tear up the hanging cloth that hung behind the seats.
Walking up we asked him politely to stop, he turned his rage on us and started calling as stupid before his eyes ran over our protectors and walked away, turning back once to swear at us.
"What was that about?" Iruka asked.
"He's mad because the cloth has a higher IQ than he does." I mumbled watching him leave and I tried to fix the cloth. My joke made the air much lighter as the cook smiled at me.
"I did not have a specific garnish."
I just shook my head. "Yup, I was right."
Iruka helped me fix the cloth as he ordered for him and Naruto as the kid should be here soon. "With or without the garnish you are still the best ramen in the land of fire." Iruka said making me nod and take a seat.
Naruto ran up looking annoyed, he plopped down and looked at us.
Iruka asked what was up as Naruto sat impatiently for the food. "I have a mission." The bowls were placed in front of us, he stuck his hands together with his chop sticks and said thank you for the food and started to down it so fast.
We waited and slowly ate. "With Shino." he sounded bitter.
His second bowl was made already and he downed that too. "Some funeral." He stood up and thanked Iruka for the food and ran off, I just watched him leave shocked as Iruka's face went a little red.
The cook stuck his hand out for the money a smile on face. "Naruto." He sounded furious pulling out his coin purse and sighed.
I was walking with a overfilled coffee and a tasty looking pastry in my other hand, I was so excited for these.
When a sharp and sudden chakra flowed through me making me drop them on the ground.
I looked around for the cause, then like twenty Narutos ran by over my head on the roofs, I guess he is back, how long have I been stuck here?
I was unsure what he was doing but everything seemed normal.
"Shit." I looked sadly at my split coffee and dirty pastry, picking them up. "Man down." walking over to a garbage can and dropped them inside. I know you don't cry over split coffee, but, I stared sadly in the can. I turned and headed back to the coffee shop a few doors away.
This time I sat down and ate.
That kid showed up again taking a seat near me, the one with the creepy chakra, he seems to like this place as much as me.
That is this Shino guy right? The one Naruto was just on mission with?
I closed my eyes and tried to find what was weird with his chakra, the closer I looked the more my skin crawled, it was not dark or mean but it was so, creepy and it moved around in a spastic way.
Looking out the window I saw Kuro waving at me, I waved my hand to say come in, he looked behind me and shook no, the kid?
Walking out into the warm sun I just looked at him confused, he did not seem to want to say but I just stared.
"The Aburame clan creeps me out." He spoke so quiet so no one would hear.
"Ya his chakra is strange, what is up with that?"
He blankly looked at me, like I should know this. "They have thousands of bugs inside them, that feed off their chakra and fight for them."
"Ohh." I understood, it was like I was being covered in bugs, as I glanced at the kid and turned back to Kuro. "That makes so much sense, that was what I was feeling."
I just smirked at him as I turned ready to walk away, he gave a small shiver before he joined me making me smile.
He would pick sharks.
We spent a long time fighting after that, something about him kicking my ass so badly I missed. Both my stamina and skill has gotten so much better then the last time this happened, he worked me to the bone and I know I will wake up the tomorrow black and blue.
I stood next to the very quiet Hinata as we waited at the gate for Choji and Naruto, we had a mission to watch some caravan and I was excited to finally leave the fucking village, I was feeling impatient wanting to run in the trees. Finally something more then a D rank around the village.
I tried to talk to this adorably nervous girl but no conversations stuck.
I was just looking at the clouds when I felt Hayashi head my way fast. "Ava." I could barely hear as I faced him. "Ava." He landed in front of me with a smile. "Good you're still here." He took a breath as he ran here fas.t "Your being taken off this mission, I need your help."
I looked back at Hinata with a smile and said goodbye, I think she spoke back but I could not hear her.
I followed him quickly a little sad I was not leaving.
I walked into the Hokage room behind him, there was two familiar ninja's standing here and the air was serious. So many strong people in one place pressed on my skin and I looked around with worry. I looked at Tsunade as she filled me in, these guys have a mission about getting in and getting information on a tower that was once a hideout for Orochimaru, they have been watching it for a while.
The place has a few different kind of chakra sensing seals, that is why they grabbed Hayashi as he is one of the top fuinjutsu users around.
I was impressed at hearing that.
No one seems to be around but it is booby trapped like crazy and they need to get in. Hayashi mentioned I can make it through the one kind and I might be useful here.
She looked at me in the eyes, making sure I understand the danger and told me it was an A rank mission and I can turn it down.
My heart was filled that she even asked me and not told me, I looked at the three men and said I would try.
Since I was already ready for a mission we all just headed straight out the gate, I passed Hinata and gave her a wave, she waved back.
I was more excited then scared.
The fact of almost flying through these trees brought a smile to my face, I ran next to Hayashi behind Izumo and Kotestu looking at the back of them. I really liked these two because when they first met me, it was with a smile even if it was because I was checking out some randoms ass.
Hayashi saw my smile. "This is brave of you." The mission sounded interesting to me.
"Well, if I die, I die doing something cool." He gave me a look. "At least this time I wont be in my home, doing nothing." He understood.
I followed them quickly but I was completely lost in the direction we went.
I asked him about this Orochimaru guy as I knew only a little and he filled me in on a lot, how he is into finding power and he offers it people who wants some but mostly they are just test subjects to his mind. How he was once a sannin like Tsunade and Jiraiya but left the leaf.
That made my eyes big as I was shocked he is as strong as them? shit!
"Regret it yet?" He asked me seriously in the form of joke.
"Completely." I laughed but serious. "Sing me a song at my funeral." Making him pat my head as we ran, it kind of calmed me down.
I don't want to die but if I can do this, that would be amazing.
We all landed on a branch as a man sat there hiding his chakra.
He was attractive with kind of a square head and his jacket sat on his biceps nicely, his headband was more of a bandanna with the symbol on it, he kindly looked at me and seemed interested to meet me.
Ya I don't know this guy.
He looked at the others and whispered. "Nothing new."
Looking around the air was eerie, the animals knew to stay clear as we stood deep in the tree's, from here I could only see a small part of the dark tower as it was pretty far away, all I could do was try and keep calm. Hayashi made me follow him to the ground as he walked me along the barrier. He started to show me what they look like and trying to get me to understand everything before I tried to enter.
I watched him pull out two random looking balls, unsure what they were. He threw one into the area and I watched it roll away and do nothing. Then he pushed chakra into the second and when it hit the ground a a small but strong explosion happened.
He told me they found three, One was the kind I have been through before but sends a kind of alert in the form of a sound.
The second one makes an explosion at the touch of chakra and the last was some kind that blocks chakra from being used, meaning you can't use any at all inside.
They were pretty sure no one was inside but even I can't see that far to agree.
If no one is inside the seals have a base, he handed me ten scrolls as he explained that I need to find the base and just put them on top of it, he had already made sure they will work without chakra, so long as it hits chakra. So the second I put in on them it should short them out.
However if there is someone inside the base, well it is on me and he will be the base of the scrolls and it would only be me inside and I would have to, you know.
So long as I can drop the seals they will come in and finish the mission. He looked at me with worry and told me that there may or may not be more booby traps that have nothing to do with seals.
I asked him why not use the scrolls we used last time with Kakashi and I guess they wont work because of the block in chakra and he can't figure out how to add both kinds into one scroll.
I nervously slid the seals into my weapons pouch for easy accesses and we walked back to the group. He mostly filled me in but the others said a few more things to me.
Standing on the side they looked at me with kindness, I might not know them but if I was about to die their faces are good enough.
"All right cuties, lets try this."
I carefully stepped inside it and lightly shuffled my feet in slowly. My body was completely tense but I could still feel something across all my senses, wondering if that was the chakra block, making a part of me want to test my chakra but that might be really stupid.
I shuffled a little faster and still did not explode, looking back they were watching me seriously making me feel safe.
It was not long until I was too far away to see them anymore as I passed tree's, I could still feel them back there moving around but I could not feel anyone else yet. I am sure they are watching me as much as they could. I walked slow looking out for booby traps.
Halfway to the tower I spotted a wire trap, I squatted and carefully looked at it thankful I had no time limit. There was two more hidden wires as I moved carefully around them, I guess there is fucking traps. I stepped lightly and shuffled my feet slowly like I used to do when my black dog slept in a dark room so If I touch something I can pause before really touching it.
Glad I was alone as I probably looked ridiculous.
Standing at the base of the tower felt creepy as there was no sound anywhere but I was so relived to not see a single chakra inside.
Looking around there was a big wooden door, knowing there is traps made me feel unsettled to open it. I saw only a few small windows farther up. They might be booby trapped also but I have a better chance at seeing it.
I stuck my hands the wall and slowly spidered up it, having both hands on the side of the window I peeked in making sure nothing was there in the thin windowsill. I got squatted in the window and looked inside the very dark room. Lucky there was just enough light I could see a log attached to a base right under the window.
It would knock me out to get blown up.
I carefully pulled out my lighter wishing for my cell phones flashlight as it was so dark inside and I carefully made my way into the room. It was a destroyed room, chairs and a broken table, a wall full of scrolls some scattered on the floor.
Using my finger I noticed the dust was thick making me calm down a little, less chance someone will come. I was so glad to see the door was slightly ajar, using my lighter I could see nothing was there as I slid through it without it moving. I made a noise when I spotted a unlit torch on the wall, I carefully pulled it off the wall.
Holding it as far from my body as I could, shut my eyes and lit it. A happy sigh escaped my lips when it did not blow up and the hallway was so much brighter making me smile. I started to walk slowly as I looked around. The stairs were annoying in here, one goes up to the next floor and then to get to the floor above you had to walk all the way to the other side.
It sucked, It made me look around but to work here I would hate it. I saw only two more windows, the light barely making its way inside but they all had a traps on them.
The whole place was destroyed like someone came in with a bat and just went nuts, peering into many rooms as I passed bedrooms and a kitchen.
Books and scrolls scattered everywhere and one room looked like it was made for potion making. I am sure I am running out of floors when I passed the only room not destroyed.
It was covered in dust and not a single scroll or book was here but the whole wall was a large book shelf, the place was cleaned out other then the big desk and chair, passed the desk was a small door.
Bathroom?
Finding a spot for the torch I knew I had to open it, I got ready as I hid behind the door. Once it got halfway three arrow like weapons flew out and embedded them into the wall, my eyes got big as I tried to block myself with the door as a big blast occurred, I was mostly blocked but part of my left side got burned, making a small noise escape my lips.
The noise made me nervous and I looked into the small room quickly, there was four glowing scrolls on a table that lit the room in a pretty blue, attached to some weird looking giant battery.
Four?
Needing to be quicker I walked over and pulled the scrolls out as I put one scroll on each, there was a flash and a small short circuit making me jump back a bit. Then I felt it, whatever pushed on my sense dispersed.
I could not tell what the forth one was but it is gone now.
Grabbing the torch I ran out wanting to warn them about the traps but they were already here, I watched as they split into two teams and made there way inside, I forgot they are badass and probably see them better then I do. Making my way down I ran into Hayashi and the man who's name I don't know as they looked at me with the biggest smiles.
Hayashi patted my head before he saw my burned clothes and skin and looked concerned. "Its not bad." I said as it only hurt a little. I handed Hayashi the torch as he walked me out, we undid the trap on the door and I walked outside into the bright sun making me blink for a second before I sat on the stairs and he went back to his mission.
I don't know the way back so I have to wait for them to do what they need to do. I pulled out my first aid kit and tried to treat the burns on my leg and arm, I covered it in some moisturizer looking thing that they had for burns and man it was amazing as it cooled it down and stopped the pain.
I just leaned on my elbows and enjoyed the forest. I know I was not meant to see what they were getting from here and I was okay with it. They are so secretive, not many knew about my world mission, that was my secret section and this is theirs.
I just smiled feeling so happy that I got them in, I did it.
This is my calling, sneaking, stealing, breaking into places. I might not be what other ninjas call good at this stuff but man it was fun. However it was fun because no one was inside.
It felt good that I can do something these powerhouses can't.
Izumo and Kotestu came out of the tower. "Enjoy yourself huh?" I looked up at them unsure who spoke.
"Ya." I said wistfully.
They piled a few boxes not far from me and went back inside, I watched the boxes but I did not touch them.
I sat there for a few hours before I started to the restless, shifting around I could see a bit of the sky and the sun was setting.
About twenty minutes after that they were done collecting and we headed back to the village, I helped carry somethings.
I walked to the hot springs in a happy mood when I came close I saw a couple on the bridge making me pause as I saw this small women looking uncomfortable as the man tried to pull her closer.
"Come on, I am not other guys." She just shook her head a little scared. "I am a nice guy, I know you will love me." He tried to pull her closer as she tried to back up, scared and quiet.
My eyes narrowed as I moved closer 'nice guy' ya right, she saw me walk up behind him her eyes filled with 'save me'
"Hey." I tapped him on the shoulder.
"Get lost, I'm busy." He pulled her closer trying to kiss her and ignored me without looking my way. "Come on baby." I lightly punched him in the head, making him grab it and look back me with a glare.
I glared back at him. "Leave her alone." He dropped her arm and she backed up slowly from us.
"Listen bitch." He looked me over.
"No you listen, bitch." I stepped into his zone, staring him down. "The lady does not want you, I suggest you back the fuck off or you will regret it."
I had taken off my hitaiate as I was headed for a bath.
He looked me over and laughed at me that I can't take him. "Little girl, mind your own business."
She backed up thankful and scared before my eyes landed back on him. "Guys like you are scum." I was full of anger, I have not felt this angry in years.
He turned his face back to her. "I will be right with you babe." Making her get scared again. I made my whip and snapped it at his foot making him grimace and move to punch me, I jumped back slightly and wrapped him in it.
He looked at me with anger trying to get out, I tightened my chakra and swung him off the bridge over the boiling water, he hung there and looked up at me scared.
I stared down on him with so much anger as the girl slowly walked over to peek at him.
He did not struggle to not fall and looked up at me with fear. "I will bring you up if you say will leave her alone." He looked at her as she looked at me with a smile. "And not ever touch a woman like that again." He looked back at me and nodded.
I whipped it so he flew into the air and landed face first on the bridge, he moaned and lied there for a moment, ass in the air.
I glared at him and the girl walked up behind me. "Thank you." She quietly whispered in my ear.
Then he got on his feet and scurried off with fear in his eyes, once he was out of view I faced her and patted her shoulder and headed into the Hot springs, she watched me walk away with a smile.
Sitting in there I felt good even surrounded by a few strange woman as my anger left me.
I was once that girl, I am turning into a such a different person and this time, I liked it.
Tusande looked at me as we stood alone in her office. "I don't think we can wait for you're memory to come back on it's own, we have waited for to long and I just don't think it will."
I was confused at what she meant by that, my emotions were all over my face and she explained to me a little.
The Yamanaka has a way to go into my mind and get the information we all wanted.
I just stood still, unsure of how react to that.
She will extract them?
She told me it will hurt and take a long time.
I sat in my home nervous as I waited for someone to come get me when it was time, I know I have withheld information but only because it was hard to explain. I have some loyalty to this place and I hope they see that when they get in my head.
That is what she meant right, I will remember it all? I do want to know how I got here even if I have some memory's I tried to block out, afraid of getting them back.
Kakashi came to get me.
I followed Kakashi down a maze of creepy corridors unsure if I was underground. It looked like metal making me tap on the wall but the sound it made was not normal, I made a noise in confusion at what it was built with, Kakashi glanced back at me and we continued in silence.
He was here because he is the strongest ninja that deals with me and was in the village, I was glad he was with me, a familiar face.
We walked into a semi dark and creepy room, the look made me think they were going to beat me for information and they sat me down in a creepy chair, my nerves started to go crazy.
Repeating the words 'you have nothing to hide' over and over in my head.
There was three blonde men moving around in here and no one said a word. When one spoke up in the silence making me jump. "Anything you want to say?" I shook me head no, I don't know what I don't remember.
I tried to hide my nerves but I failed as I looked around, Kakashi was leaning on the wall staring at me and we locked eyes before I turned back to the others.
They tried to be nice to me but it was obvious they care nothing for me, the information is all they want and it was more important then me. They did not explain or coddle me, I just looked at my feet as I shifted them around, fear rising in my chest.
I was so scared I could cry, I breathed in slowly trying to calm down but the longer I sat here to more scared I got, they could all see it and the blondes looked at me like I was being suspicious, glancing at Kakashi who still showed no emotion as he watched me.
Looking back at my feet, I breathed in a few more times.
I don't want to remember.
A few silent minutes passed and then I felt something on my head sending a sharp pain into it making me cry out.
My mind went black as it felt like my chakra started to boil burning me from inside, I could feel my mind try and fight back from being invaded making the burning stronger and I think I screamed as I fully blacked out.
I was in a haze as I opened my eye's but everything was blurry, my head in someone's neck as I was carried on there back, breathing in, this person smelled so nice.
Feeling drunk or drugged, I tried to speak but only a mumble with no real words came out of my mouth as I nuzzled into the cloth. "I am taking you home." A familiar person spoke, it took me a second to remember who he was.
"Kakashi?"
I was so drowsy, I told him I liked his silly little mask and that we should go play some paintball together, turning my head the other way he just made a noise as I looked around and we were moving so fast over a town that felt fake.
When we went into a window and was lightly laid down on a bed.
I looked at him and mumbled something about cookies and just cuddled into my pillow, wiggling around to get comfortable, I looked up at him from my position as he leaned on my door frame.
His eye was calm and I started to remember things about him.
"I want your dick." I mumbled and I watched his eye get so big and stare at me. "He is so small and so cute." He looked a little confused. "It is so cool it talks." It took a second then his eye closed and looked at peace and he gave a small giggle.
"You mean my dog."
I made a noise. "Ya your dick." I pulled my pillow and looked at him a little longer before I blacked out again.
Waking up with a headache I wondered into my kitchen and looked for Tylenol before I remembered that does not exist here. I moved to make coffee as I held my head feeling so drowsy, trying to remember what happened but all I remember was the pain.
Where is the memory's I was promised?
I stared at my counter, do they know everything and I don't?
With a frown I moved to my bathroom to have a quick shower as my coffee brewed, I am sure someone will be talking to me soon and I just felt gross. I just covered my hair in shampoo when I felt Kakashi land in my home, he walked to my bed room before standing near my bathroom door before he walked around my home and sat down.
I did not get all the shampoo out when I turned it off and tossed my dirty clothes back on not wanting to make him wait any longer. Peeking out the door I smiled at him, my eye's filled with curiosity.
He gave me a fake smile. "Morning." I said nothing as I made us both a cup of coffee waiting for him to speak. "Glad to see you up, you have been out for a little over a full day."
I was shocked making me spin and spill some coffee. "Shit, really?" I put one in front of him before I noticed he wont drink it as he needs to take off his mask. Sighing I just sat down as he seemed to understand my train of thought. "I offer drinks, its something I do, sorry."
"So did they like get my memory's and I get nothing." I sounded a little angry. "Because that is unfair."
He shook his head. "They got nothing." I looked at him astonish before confusion crossed my face. "They all had that look you do right now." He carefully watched me as I thought about it, a feeling in me like he was judging me and was not here in friendly manor, making my heart sink.
This guy was more perceptive then Hayashi making me wonder if he knows all my thoughts.
Understanding I Looked at his eye, "I do not know anything, or why." He stared back at me making me nervous before sadness crossed me that I still am the hated, dumb and useless alien to this guy.
Hoping he did not see that chain of thought, I just looked at the table unsure what to say and just took a sip of my coffee. Not sure if anything I do will make him less paranoid.
Looking back up at his eye, he was waiting and was definitely far from being a friend right now, it made me look back at the table.
Looking up him. "If you don't believe me, I will do whatever you need to prove it, I like these people and I like this place, for the most part." He squinted a little. "I don't like that children fight and I don't like I have needed to hurt people."
Silence.
"Other then the blonde guys is there something I can do?"
Silence
I spoke calmly. "I don't worry about anyone from this world to show up in mine, I have nothing to hide besides my stupid mind and the shit I can't explain as it was so normal not to." He was still blank and I just can't see a change, the feeling of being doomed filled my heart at the way he was looking at me.
What does he want me to say?
"So do they know why?" I asked.
"They think it was your chakra." I nodded. "When they tried to get in, your mind would not let them, when they pushed harder your whole chakra system went haywire and started to act strange, making them stop."
"What's that mean?"
"You tell me." He was back to having an intense stare as he sat like a stone.
I just looked at him unsure of what emotion was in my eyes while we stared at each other, all I could think to say was please don't hate me and I am unsure about any of this but I did not say a word.
I had a feeling no matter what I said I am not changing his mind. I think he thinks I am not who I say I am and I was nervous what might happen next.
We sat in the tense air for a minute, a very long minute.
Wanting to break this tension I spoke. "Fine whatever, if you think I am lying and came to kill me could you show me your face." I gave a small smile. "And your abs." This time I smirked he blinked but he stayed mostly blank as I sipped my coffee. "I am not joking." I stared him down with a slight amusement.
That got a rise out of him as he finally looked away.
"Seriously, I don't care what you know about my world, even if I don't want all of my memory's on display, mostly the ones I have blocked out, I will try anything short of being beaten as nothing will come from that because I know nothing." I felt ashamed but I want him to believe me.
"Blocked what?" He stared at me making me look away speechless, I never told anyone before, I can't tell him. I stuttered out I can't tell you with sadness in my eye's and looked around my home when I saw the scroll on my wall.
"What is that?" He did not look away or even blink as he stared at me.
"A silence seal, block what?" I looked around and saw four more on my walls, he might actually be here to hurt me.
The air got suffocating as I would not answer and he got even more intimidating, he was pushing his chakra into my senses. He stood up and leaned on my table, I was so scared I could pee as tears came out of my eyes. "Why were you scared with them, block what?"
He got even angrier and asked one more time, this time he flared his chakra at me as it got so bright it was all I could feel, intimidating me greatly.
Jumping up I slammed my hands down with tears rolling down my face. "Rape." I yelled at him. "Okay, rape, being choked, burned and drugged by two different fucking guys!"
"One was my moms boyfriend and every time she went to work he would hurt me okay. I was just a child and for so long and my mind blocked it out." He looked startled. "I can't remember much and I don't want to, I don't even know how many months he did that for." I sat down and the tears would not stop, I sniffled and sipped my coffee he did not move.
"The second one, I was drugged at sixteen and again I don't remember much and I have been glad for years that I don't, its easier to pretend it did not happen as I only have enough memory on the events to know it happened."
He sat down and looked at me blankly again. "If that is a lie."
My head hit the table with a sigh. "I give up."
"Burned, show me."
"I can't do that." I shook my head on the table.
"Why not?" His voice was hard again.
"He put his smokes out on me in places no one would see, I was old enough to bath myself." We sat in very tense silence, my head stayed on the table.
A sigh escaped my lips making me stand up and started to pull down my shirt as I walked around the table.
This time his demeanor changed, his eye filled with shock. "I have one closer to the top, if u really need to see." I did not pull out my full boob but just above my nipple for him to see the light circled scar that has never left me, faded into my skin showing it was old.
He looked at it and seemed to calm down.
"There is four more on my boobs and two closer to my ass, if you must know." He did not say anything. I think he believed me now as it was awkward and silent. "Now, if you ask me to get naked, you need to too." I sat back down. "Like I said, I'm seeing your face or your abs, don't matter." I sipped on my coffee.
The air started to get better as he shut his eye and a small giggle came out as his shoulders dropped his tension.
It got calmer and more comfortable as he looked at me serious again.
"Great what now." I mumbled, he walked closer and bent down into my eye line suddenly he went to lift his protector, is he showing me something because I'm going to die?
I had not seen his eye this close as I watched the black dots with fear in my heart, suddenly pain shot through my head before my chakra started to burn again knocking me off my chair onto all fours as cried out in pain.
The burn was so bad as I flickered between my kitchen and a dark space, like I was in two solid places at once.
Chakra surrounded me before it all went black.
I could feel him nearby before I opened my eyes, my headache even worse then it was before.
Moaning I rolled in my bed. "The fuck." I lied there a second getting my mind back before kicking my legs over the side of my bed and I grabbed my head. "Ass." I mumbled as I glared up at him.
None of us spoke making me sigh and walk passed him into my kitchen for a smoke. "I need a pain killer." I mumbled.
Sighing I finally asked what that was about. "I tried to knock you out into a genjutsu dream."
I just sat down in a chair that faced him as he leaned in my doorway. "Nothing but a black space are you sure your not blind because that was not a dream."
"I know, I could not really get it placed in your mind but you did get knocked out, even if it was more painful then I was trying to be."
"How long was I out?"
"Half an hour."
I was quiet for a moment as I thought about it.
"Why would that hurt and not normal genjutsu?"
"Mine gets in your head, not your other senses."
I looked up at him, glad to know he was not trying to hurt me. "What is wrong with me?"
He just blankly stared. "I don't know."
Dwelling on my past made me think of his, by what I have learned of this world, his past is way darker then mine even if I know nothing about it. I found out a while ago that he has been a solider since he was a tiny kid and has been through a war.
That was the darkest part of my life, I had a decent life. I at least had years of peace and the opportunities to sit around, smoke weed and do nothing in a non war torn country.
The scars around his eye told me there was a big story there.
This guy always impresses me, he is a little cold but.
Looking away from him, hoping he did not know my train of thought this time.
"Am I in trouble?" He just stared for to long worrying me.
"No." I nodded, stress leaving me making me thankful he interrogated me and not someone else that I don't know.
Running my hands through my hair I made a gross face as it was matted together, hard and wet. "Urg, right."
I watched the sun rise wondering how many months I have been here for when I noticed it has to be over five and below nine even if it feels longer, but I felt like an idiot noticing I missed my birthday somewhere in there. I also missed Halloween and Christmas making me sad. I kind of filled my days and did not think about it much.
I giggled at myself for forgetting, I am 24!
I should do something fun for myself as a belated birthday thing.
I decided to treat myself to a day, no training and hopefully no mission.
Hit up the hot springs, eat all I want and maybe go swimming.
So that was what I did, I pampered myself but it only lasted half the day and I even tried to drag it out.
I stood outside the bar I go to with Hayashi, looking at the sky the sun was still out but in an hour it should set so it was not to early to start drinking. Walking in the bar there was a few tables filled with ninja, the smell of alcohol was strong and a layer of smoke filled the area. Noticing the table I sit at, the one everyone avoids as it was dark, was empty.
Grabbing two drinks I went and sat down in it.
I nursed my drinks as I watched these people sing songs that were slowly growing on me, tapping my foot feeling slightly bored.
A big smile crossed my face when Anko suddenly slid into the chair next to me.
I laughed inwardly as we met yet again over alcohol.
"Drinking alone, hmm?"
"I gave myself a day and it got boring." She gave me a look, as I sipped. "I passed my birthday and I did not notice so, a day." I hiccup in the middle of the sentence, making her tap my drink with hers and we just hung out.
I loved this sarcastic and funny girl as we just drank, I saw some girls get up to dance and she grabbed my arm and pulled me up to the dance floor, the world disappeared and did not care who saw me as she tried to teach me there dance moves and I showed her some of mine, without twerking.
We laughed at how weird and different they were.
At one point she made everyone stick their drinks in the air and yell out happy birthday making me smile as all of them did not caring who I was. We danced getting a little lesbian and flirted with each other, making me see how I could be mistaken as gay but as far as girls go for me and it was not far, she was my type.
She dragged me on stage and started to sing, I don't know any songs, I was so drunk I did not care so I just danced around her like an idiot and I belted out the chorus once I understood it.
She dragged me from the bar. "You need a cake." We walked to that small cake place when we passed Asuma and kurenai hanging as they walked, calling out there names they looked a little caught in the act.
Anko wrapped her arm around my shoulders as they tried to cover that they just ran into each other here, we gave them the same smile, the 'ya sure we believe you.'
"This sexy bitch is 24." She yelled the number so loudly. "I am getting her a belated birthday cake." We turned and said our goodbyes, her hand falling from my shoulder as she smacked my ass making me giggle.
Once they were out of ear shot, we laughed at how no one believes they just run into each other and if nothing is actually happening yet, they are the only ones who don't see it. Even if our words were more crass.
We ordered food with the cake, the man brought it over. "It is a hot plate." I nodded but still went to grab it drunkenly.
I held it there for a second before I pulled my finger away. "Ah that's hot." I whispered.
She was staring at the sky , shaking her head at my idiocy. "You ever think about how far a star is?"
I told her about how far they are and how it can take so long for the light to reach us that some may not even be there anymore. "When you look at the stars, technically you are looking back in time." Then I touched my plate for too long again. "Ah that's hot." I whimpered.
She looked at me in a funny way. "How were you both smart and dumb at the same time." I just smiled at her as I stuffed my face with the hot food.
"The real question is how many planets like yours exist around them." We both just looked up at the stars.
I touched it one more time mindlessly. "Ah that's hot." I spoke quietly, she started to laugh uproariously.
I had another great drunken adventure with her, she brings out my sarcastic side.
