I stood on a large overpass over a fast moving highway, I was so angry in my heart as I think I am pregnant. I ninja jumped down onto a stone wall as I followed some bright and flashy sports cars I was stalking to steal.
Thinking about the superhero that knocked me up so angry at him, he had been fully green badass suit like ant man but he was a praying mantis, maybe I should rip his head off.
I was chasing down the cart I wanted, keeping up fine when I ran out of wall, I jumped and started to fly after it when my superman showed up flying beside me but he only had on a red thong and a green cape and I just calmly looked at his uncovered ass confused at his new suit as his cloak fluttered in the wind.
I popped up from my sleep alert and clear, the dream running over and over again making me laugh. "What the fuck was that?" Knocking my blanket off me I started to shuffle to the kitchen for coffee giggling the whole time. Having a quick shower and got ready for the day while it brewed.
I looked up at the slightly cloudy sky, watching the stars as I sipped my coffee, enhancing my nose I just sniffed around getting used to my neighbors but there was a delicious food smell on the air.
After a few cups I tossed my mug in my sink and jumped out the window for my morning routine.
Spotting Lee as he was doing one handed handstands with just his on finger, curious I landed next to him and kicked my legs into the air, he looked at me startled before he smiled happy to see me.
I tried to remove one hand but I was shaky, after a little struggle I was good on one hand however no way I can get onto one finger.
Suddenly Guy was there, doing it like lee with one finger. "You guys are up early." I spoke. Guy started to do pushups like that making Lee follow.
"Yes so much youth this morning." Guy spoke with joy. I held back a noise staring at there crazy ass's before I tried a pushup.
Looking at Lee he looked a little tired. "So how long have you been doing this?" I asked him.
"I am not sure a while."
I was shocked as I felt a small quiver in Guys chakra, looking at him he was so moved by Lee's actions he had a tear running up his forehead. I knew then that we were both here until the end even if Guy could do way more then me.
I was able to do it shocking me.
Guy started to make a weird humming noise, making Lee perk up understanding something. "Guy sensei!"
"Yes Lee!" I was confused, the tone was not a question. "First one down pays for breakfast."
"Yes Sensei." They started to speed up making me speed up, I am about to pay aren't I? My eyes got determined as I stuck it out and played their little game.
"Yes Ava, bring your youth." Guy yelled as I started to sweat.
The birds were starting to chirp when I fell onto my back covered in sweat. "I can't do it, I'm done." My arms crying in relief.
Making Lee fall down beside me, Guy just landed on this feet in a strange pose. "Ava is buying." I gave a small laugh.
"Ya, just give me a second." I spread my arms to my side catching my breath.
We headed into the shopping district looking for something open as it was still early, my arms hung to my side overworked as I let them hang, feeling like I can't even use them.
I was grabbing things for a mission and my name was called out, looking over Iruka and Naruto headed my way. "We are getting food want to join us?"
I looked at the shadows. "Sure I have time." I just listened to their conversation as I walked beside them. When Naruto mentioned something called the sexy jutsu. "What is that?" He had my attention.
He gave me a coy smile and I watched as he turned into a hot blonde sailor moon looking girl with clouds around her parts. I saw Iruka's face go red but Ignored it excited and laughed as I turned into an almost naked hot male, my gray hair short and spiky with sparkles all around me as I stood in a hot guy pose, my thumbs stuck in the base of my boxers giving a sexy smirk.
Iruka fell over his feet flopped in the air, I looked down for only a second when Naruto yelled. "No you need to be a girl!"
"Oh." I nodded and turned into a hotter more busty me, wearing only a bra and short like panties.
Naruto got into a flirty pose and blew a kiss at me, I smiled and did a small dance, making him gasp. "You got it down." There was a lot of innocence in something so bold. We shared a laugh and broke both Jutsus, when Irukas red face was standing again he punched us both on top of our heads.
"Hey." Naruto said.
"Ow." I was so startled he did that making me smirk, I weirdly felt closer to both of them.
Naruto looked at me with squinted eyes. "I like you."
"Right back at you." Me and Naruto laughed as we turned back to way we were walking, Iruka grabbed the back of his a little frazzled as he followed.
I waited at the gate for Choji and Shikamaru, Ino was busy and they subbed me in. The mission was to solve a series of mysterious happenings around a bed and breakfast and man to me that sounded fun.
Looking over I locked eyes with Kotetsu and Izumo who smiled my way making me smile back. "Not waiting for Kakashi are you?"
"He passed a few days ago hes not here." One said to the other.
"Oh right."
I know there names but I keep getting confused who's who. "Naw just a c-rank." They are very cute but I think Kotetsu is the one with the white thing over his nose and the and the emo hair was Izumo.
I stood up and slowly strolled over. "So what is gate duty like?"
"Can be boring." Izumo said
"And then sometimes not." Kotetsu responded.
"So you like it?" Izumo nodded as Kotetsu said meh making the other sigh.
"Would you rather be archiving?"
"No I would rather be eating something sweet."
I just smiled. "If you want I can get you something sweet." Gesturing at no one near me. A shocked expression covered their faces making me feel awkward.
"Ya, that would be awesome thanks." Kotetsu said with a big smile as the other just gawked.
I sped off, the place was not far, I got a box of sweets and it took less then five minutes as I brought it back. This time I saw the green clad crazy pony tailed boy I was to meet. He was alone so I was glad to know I am not being waited on.
Sliding on the dirt in front of the small box they sit in. "Here you go." I smiled and put the box between them.
"Thank you."
"Ya wow thanks." Loving the bromance of these two.
I just stood around Shikamaru awkwardly. The only thing said in a few minutes was him asking for my skills. After anther few silent moments I sat on the ground, he peered down on me before sitting next to me. I watched him lie down and watch the sky.
I tried to talk to him about the chunin exams as I watched it but he called it troublesome and how it felt like so long ago. I don't know how to talk to this guy. I just laid down and joined him.
I felt a slight familiar chakra but also unknown head our way slowly when I heard a kind voice. "What are you too doing?" The sound was muffled as I turned to look back, the barely chubby boy was eating a bag of chips, I smiled at him as we both got on our feet.
"Well." That was all that was said and we headed out.
We ran silently and he seemed to know exactly where he was going. I Still don't have that skill, it took about three hours of running when we came to a large dirt road. A small and almost non existent tree line there was a big lake, big enough to make a small bit of sand. There was two couples in the very empty area, one group in a small canoe and the second on the small beach looking cozy. Not to far from the lake was an beautiful old looking inn that had an air of romance.
The old beautiful door squeaked as we walked in, a small reception desk in a small cozy living space. A big fireplace with some grandma chairs it felt warm and nice.
The strong smell of cookies filled the air.
"Ya that smells nice, eh?" I whispered to Choji as he had sniffed. He nodded while giving me a weird look but was to kind to voice whatever I did wrong.
The lady walked out of the kitchen attached to the dinning room and dried her hands on her apron. "There is my ninja's." Her old sweet face showed a great smile. "They are here." She yelled at no one as she came to introduce herself, I watched an older mans head peek around the doorway before he joined us with the same friendly smile.
He walked with pride as he moved next to his wife, when they explained why we are here.
They have owned this place for many years and he was sure they suddenly have a ghost, I watched as Choji got worried. Things move around, things disappear, mostly from visitors lately.
The lady slapped the back of her husbands head. "Ghosts don't exist." She said. "Food goes missing and our horses get startled, it is not just things disappearing."
"You have horses?" I asked excited as I looked toward a window.
"Yes we give trail rides."
"Awesome." I said with a fire in my eyes wanting to get on one.
"Do you have a list of what has gone missing?" Shika calmly asked.
"Yes." She walked behind the desk and dug around in a drawer. "Here it is." He nodded at her as she took it. "I have to cook supper soon, if you have questions I will be in there." She went and left.
We both peered over his shoulder and read the list with him. "It is mostly clothes that disappeared." Choji spoke.
"Ya by the sounds they got a squatter." I mumbled.
"I was thinking that also." Shika calmly spoke.
"So what we just catch him?"
"Well you can see chakra is there anyone nearby?" Closing my eyes for a real look I saw the people we just talked to and I think a couple upstairs doing something, well you know, making my eyes snap open in shock. "What did you see?"
"Nothing of importance." These are kids, I made my face calm, wishing for someone to joke with. "Well there is no squatter in the building, maybe outside?"
He nodded. "Choji, check out the kitchen, where the food goes missing." That made him smile, assuming he can probably eat the cookies we smell, making me a little jealous. "Ava, take a run around the whole area for someone strange." I nodded. "I will check with the people." With a need to say don't bother the two upstairs I just left the building silently.
I wondered around the beautiful area, a large barn was far down a road in the back. I stepped and leaned over a wooden fence as I watched a few horses wonder the yard.
A smaller one with darker spots slowly trotted my way. I watched with a smile as it stopped only a few feet away. "Hi beautiful." It just watched me. "Seen any strange people around hmm?" I talked quietly it looked at me like it understood me with no way to tell me, sometimes the animals here seem even smarter.
We just watched each other before I remembered I was doing something.
Walking into the barn the smell of horse shit was, overpowering.
I checked out the stalls and areas, it was pretty clean with the smell, I noticed a small rope in the back of a seemingly normally empty stall. Walking over I looked up and there was a small hole where it came from up to a loft.
Jumping up the floor was old and creaky it was a small place, a bed made of hay and a pile of neatly folded clothes and some garbage. "Where you at person?" As I nudged the pile with my foot, there was a few days worth of clothes. I jumped down and did a fast run of the area looking for chakra but I saw no one and I headed back to the inn.
They were sitting on the couch as I walked in and told them I saw no one but I found a makeshift room.
He nodded when I realized something.
"Well I did not go to the lake, should I go to the lake?" I mumbled.
"Well you found the home, they will come back." He stood up. "Lets go watch the barn." We followed him with a nod. Finding a spot where we could see it and not be easily spotted we all just sat down, Shika watching the sky and Choji pulled out a bag of chips.
These two moved like they know each other well, a second nice bromance for the day making me wish I had one but I was short a D. I always wanted a nice bromance they seem like the best friendships. These two were my kinds of people, calm, hungry and lazy. This was turning into the calmest mission, we just sat on the grass and watched the sky.
Looking at Choji I dug around in my scroll wondering if I still had some chips lost inside, my whole arm was in there was I searched, my tongue out and I looked at the sky.
"That is interesting." Choji spoke.
"Hmm?" I looked over at him completely.
"The scroll, how much does it hold?"
"So much I stuck a snowboard in here once."
His eyes squinted. "What's a snowboard?"
I just looked shock. "Well, umm, it is a long piece of something flat that you stand on while you slide down a hill of snow."
"That sounds fun." He spoke with real interest.
"Not to me, sounds like to much activity." I gave a small giggle.
"So what did you guys figure out anyway?" I asked.
"The person does take food but they locked the kitchen better and then their garbage were ripped open a lot, but when I looked it was not done by an animal."
"Really." I said so sadly. "Must suck to have to eat garbage." I finally found a small bag of chips. "Yes." I ripped it open and started to eat. "I would squat here, it is a good place, lake, they cook a lot of food." I said with my mouth full, Shika made a noise.
"Ya, might not have been noticed if they did not get greedy with stealing from the people who vacation here."
"You know, I was expecting a more long investigation." I said.
"Me too." Choji said with a smile, also shoving chips in his face.
"I am glad its not." Shika said with a yawn.
We waited in silence for a while when I felt something far away, sitting up I looked towards it running through the field mid horses.
"There is a random kid over there."
Making Shika sit up. "A kid?" We watched as it moved toward the barn and slowly got on our feet.
"Catch him red handed." Shika said, and we moved toward the barn slowly to not be spotted before speeding up when he went inside. We silently moved in where I showed him the hole to the room, we all jumped up in the small space cornering the kid, it was a young girl.
"We found you." Shika spoke in a lazy tone, the poor girl looked scared. "You are the thief." The small light brown hair was stuck to her wet head as I think she had just been in the lake.
Her face filled with fear and started to scrunch like she was going to cry, this girl is too young to be on her own. "We are not going to hurt you." I said quietly, I don't like dealing with kids but the poor girl was so scared, that made her start to bawl.
We all just waited unsure what to do as she cried, waiting for her to calm down.
When she did she started to tell us how she lost her parents and was alone and wondered for so long, when she found this place and it was perfect, she has lived her secretly for a few months.
Shika just looked at her thinking as Choji and I looked at him with the words 'wtf do we do' on our faces.
Shika spoke up with authority, the first time I heard him speak like that. "Gather everything you have here you stole and we will bring you and them back to the owner of the inn." Making her nod and sniffle, she grabbed the pile of clothes as the rest was garbage from food.
I walked next to her as she came just above my waist, my heart broke, someone so little should never be alone like this, watching her waddle with all the clothes I bent over and grabbed a bit to lighten her load.
We slowly walked back to the front door, walking the smell of food filled the air making our belly's rumble, I looked at them curious as that felt weird to me.
Without looking as I stood by the door I could see the owners sat down with all the visitors eating dinner, filled with laughter and happiness as they all chatted. Shika peeked around as he did not want to show this poor girl to everyone and waved the lady over, I felt her slowly move our way and a second after her husband joined her.
Both there smiles dropped when they looked down at this small girl, hands full of clothes. No one said a word as we all just stood there.
"So you are our ghost?" He spoke with a kind smile.
"See I told you we did not have one." She mumbled as she lightly slapped his arm.
"I am sorry here is everything I stole." The small girl sniffed and handed over the clothes, before digging into her shirt and pulling out a small necklace we did not know she had. The lady bent over and took it as she looked at this girl.
"You are alone?" The girl nodded as she looked at the floor and the woman looked up at her husband with a look on her face.
He nodded after a second in thought. "Sweetie, how would you like to stay here?" She asked making the girl look up at her in shock and confusion. "You can help out around here for a room and food, does that sound good?" The girl made a weird noise before nodding her head.
"Can I help with the horses, I love the horses."
"Of course."
She started to bounce a little like I used to, on her toes while making a weird noise, so glad I stopped. "Thank you, thank you." She repeated.
"We have a perfect small room for you as it does not fit well with couples." The tension in my shoulders was gone knowing this girl will be okay.
"Go eat hunny." She motioned the small girl to the table and she ran over with fervor. "Thanks for figuring this out." She looked at us and Shika nodded. Shika spun on his feet and headed out the door as we followed without a word, I looked back with a small wave.
We headed into the treeline and I noticed how much of a calm mission that was, a little disappointed that it was not more of a mystery.
Looking at Shika when a thought popped into my head. "You knew they would do that huh?" He did not look back.
"I hoped so."
We ran for around fifteen minutes when a small feeling hit me, unsure what it was I stopped and called out to them, they both paused on a tree branch and looked at me curious. "Do you feel that?" I asked.
"No." Looking at them.
"I don't ignore stuff like this." I mumbled and he nodded.
"What is it?" Choji asked, I boosted my nose and tried to figure out what direction this feeling was coming from.
"Not sure we are far away but I feel it in my gut, I can't ignore this." Closing my eyes I found the direction it was coming from, looking over with a question on my face he nodded, telling me when can check it out. I ran and they stayed next to me but letting me lead as we moved through the forest.
The air got thick with chakra, the closer we got the harder it was to breath. "I can feel something now." Shika spoke up quietly.
My nose picked it up a second before my chakra. "Kakashi?" Making them look at me startled, I could smell blood on the air.
Moving quietly we found a tree a few trees in with a good look at the area.
We peered into an open area that was destroyed by them leaving a large field. Kakashi was mid fight with a very strong ninja, looking around it was only them in the area. I watched as they were in a fast taijutsu fight, so fast I could not really see every move clearly.
They jumped back for a small pause giving me a good look, Kakashi had his eye out and both were so low on chakra. The other guy was slightly bigger with a light brown robe tied around the waist was a small rope, His white hair was as crazy as Kakashi's but his chakra was slightly wormy, creepy.
I had a strong urge to jump in and help but I know I can't help so I pushed it down and looked at Shika, the smart kid might have an idea.
He was about to speak when I put my finger in front my mouth and tapped my ear, if Kakashi could hear us from here, the other might.
He understood with a nod and put his fingers in a weird 'o' shape and shut his eyes as I looked at Choji with a question, he gave me a smile and a nod telling me it will be okay. I just nodded back, okay.
I looked back and watched the fight, worried for Kakashi telling myself 'Don't be he is amazing.'
They slid backwards as the enemy did some hand signs so fast but Kakashi kept up almost like a mirror. A shocked look on my face, the copy nin, I get to see it. I was on my toes when two big bursts of wind came from both of them, as they smashed into each other and shoot out to the sides destroying the trees in a long line, we might not be safe here.
I could see the drain on Kakashi, my worry would not leave me no matter how many times I told myself he was amazing. When they started to move around with speed again in hand to hand combat. I smiled at the moves from Kakashi that was slow enough for me to see.
I did notice his chakra was draining real slow, even without using it. Looking back at Shika he was still thinking before turning back as they moved around beyond fast again. I almost did not notice I started to wrap my hand in water until Choji tapped me on the shoulder.
My head snapped his way, he could see the worry on my face and gave me a smile like Shika will figure this out.
I just nodded and turned back to the fight.
Breathing in from my worry, I lightly mindlessly tapped the we will rock you beat on the branch I was squatted on. The slow breathing made me see better, Kakashi flew backwards and spun on his feet as the guy was on him fast, he stood in a defensive stance and blocked both punches from the enemy with his hands.
As he held his fists the guy made some handsigns on one hand as Kakashi copied. His chakra took a hit again as the wind blew them both backwards from each other as they slid on there feet in the grass, they both stood there a little weak. My eyes ran over every stick or log and broken trees as they started to move really fast again, all around the open area.
I did not even see when he made it, but I could feel an enemy clone running in the tree line east of me, heading to Kakashi's back. The guy had Kakashi's hands tied as he blocked with his arms and then a kick with his elbow as I felt the normal feeling that the clone was about to throw something.
I moved before I even noticed. I switched with a branch behind Kakashi using my water to block every Kunai. I could feel the shock in both of them at my sudden appearance making the guy jump backwards, far away.
"Sorry I fucked up." I said so silently as I had my back to his. "Shit." He did not speak. "He is as drained as you but has one clone in the tree line." I said, unsure if he could tell.
What can my useless ass do, why did I do that he would probably have been fine, it is Kakashi.
The other man spoke with anger. "Who are you?" But I can hear the small amount of worry in his voice, hoping he thinks I am a strong person and not a genin.
Taking a small step back as my back touched his, I could feel him shake, he is so tired.
I could see from here that this guy was not alone when it started, Kakashi has fought more then one. I felt Choji and Shika move up the tree line making me remember about them, I forgot for a second.
Sorry guys.
I spoke so silently knowing he could hear. "Shadows." Hoping he understood who I was with, he made no notice to what I said as I watched the guys chakra and his clone, they were alert but stood still at my appearance, feeling Kakashi catch his breath.
"Are you hurt or just chakra drained?"
"Chakra." I heard a breathless whisperer.
"Anyone other leaf around need help?"
"No."
The clone started to move to the area I previously was, glad that the kids moved. I tossed Kunai into the tree line, not to hurt it but to show the others where it was. I felt it pause as I was slower then it, was that right to do?
Not sure from me, when they both headed towards us, wanting to stay out of the way I switched with a log by the clone and let Kakashi fight the main guy.
I slashed out and it saw me as it spun my way, ducking I jumped backwards as it faced me, it moved at me fast making all I can do was jump and dodge, when suddenly he paused and looked like a statue, before he gave me a small wave as I slashed out and it fell to the ground with water.
Thanks shikamaru, nice teamwork.
I slid out the forest line, hoping he thinks I did it alone.
Watching the fight and waiting for an opening but I stayed back as I don't want to be a burden. They were both so drained I don't think I need to worry about Ninjustsu.
I watched as he moved him closer to the area the kids were, making sure his back was always on the tree line.
Understanding, I stayed blank and did not look to make any sign that I knew what he was doing. When he got him close enough I saw the shadow creep out of the tree line from behind him I slid into the game tossing Kunai at him making sure his eye's were on us two, it attached to him and got his paused for enough time to give Kakashi an opening to win the fight.
I moved next to him in a second, he looked at me for a second before he fell forward onto me, I caught him awkwardly as his head landed in my chest.
I pulled his protector down as his faced squished into my boobs making me hold back a laugh as I don't think that was on purpose, the kids landing next to us
"I think we should take him back to the inn we were just at, as it is closer." I said as they looked at him with worry. "He said he is not hurt, he is just chakra drained."
They agreed as it was a much longer run to the village and only about fifteen minutes away.
Choji helped grab one side and I got the other his arms around our shoulders we started to move, he stayed awake long enough to help us get him there even if he was ready to just pass completely out.
The sun was starting to set when we finally made it there.
Walking in with this almost passed out and bloody ninja on our arms the lady looked up at us shocked. "I would like to rent a room." I spoke with a smile.
She nodded a little confused and picked a key off the wall, she handed it to me and told me what room it was, getting him up the stairs was a little bit harder. The small room was nice and the bed was big as we pulled him over and laid him down, I swear he was out the second his head hit the bed.
We all just looked down on him. "I think we may be here for a while." Shika said, I nodded. "Might as well get a room, may be here overnight." They paused for a moment, looking at me.
"I will stay in here." I said. "You two can share a room." I smiled at them, they nodded and left.
I slid down with my back on the bed and opened my newest Icha icha.
My eyes opened at the feeling of something messing with my hair, sitting up I was sleeping with my head on the bed, the book on the floor next to me. Looking up I locked eyes with Kakashi making my inside give a small flutter, he was still looking tired and drained, the early morning sun was gleaming in through the window.
"Look who's awake." I yawned.
"I was about to say the same thing." He slightly joked. "The sharingan takes a toll on me." He answered one question I had.
I nodded with a smile. "Good to know, can you move?"
"Not well." He tried to shuffle.
"Stop trying." I mumbled with a yawn.
Looking down the book was on its pages open, I picked it up with a smile. "So how long does this downtime last?"
"Depends." He yawned as he closed his eyes, I nodded and put my head back down for a second as I was tired.
I slowly got up using the bed to help.
Unsure what to do I just stood up as I held the book and his eyes went to it, making me wonder if he wanted to read it, I looked him over and he seemed so weak. Sitting on the nightstand I kicked my feet up on the bed. "Tell me if you want me to stop" he looked at me confused as I opened up a page to a more innocent area and started to read.
He closed his eye with a weird noise, making me stop reading, it went silent for a second.
"Read." He slightly laughed out with a blush and I continued.
I am sure he is only blushing because this book is not to be read out loud.
He just stayed there, I was unsure if he fell back asleep, I could feel people shuffle around as watching as they all headed to the dinning room.
Yawning I stopped reading, it was about to get dirty anyway. "I think food is ready." I kicked my feet and he made a noise. "Besides I can't read the next part out loud anyway."
He gave a small chuckle. "I know it by heart."
Laughing I walked to the door. "Ah so funny." I said with happy kindness as I pulled it open and headed down the stairs. "Ill bring you food."
Passing Choji near the stairs. "How is he?"
"Awake and better but still drained."
"I am so hungry." He grabbed his stomach.
"Same." Walking in everyone was friendly and happy as they ate breakfast, Choji grabbed a seat next to an empty one as I felt Shika not far behind.
Moving close to the owner lady. "Can I take food up stairs?"
She gave a silly laugh. "We encourage it, breakfast in bed is so romantic." That made me pause for a second in awkwardness.
"Okay thanks." I gave a smile and started to make some small plates and cups of coffee as I put them on the plates so I could go upstairs. She gave me this wooden thing to carry it all, it had a few hearts carved into it.
Feeling weird at the way she said that and I put them on the nightstand. "If you can move." I mumbled then I stared at his chakra inside his chest.
"Your chakra is halfway now." When I saw something in it, I think it was tense making me snap out of it. "Sorry." I think I stared to long and hard making him uncomfortable. Locking eyes with him he seemed a little thankful.
"So glad is not me for once in the bed." I joked as I slid down the wall. "I would read this anyway even if not out loud."
My eyes scanned the dirty and unreadable parts as I skimmed the book. "Need to skip this and find the next part." I mumbled as I slowly ate, making him give a small giggle.
"Ya." His tone made me laughed.
I read only a little when I felt the kids headed our way making me close the book and put it in my scroll just as they opened the door.
They both took parts of the room and we mostly sat in silence with small conversations, I ran my hand in my hair when I noticed a patch of it stuck together, pulling it in front of me I made a small noise making Choji look at me as my face had a disgusted look, what is this?
I looked over at him as I tried to inspect it, he had a weird smile on his face, I dropped it and sighed as the room stayed awkwardly silent.
I was overly excited when Kakashi sat up, we were all happy to see him move. "So what happened?" Shika finally asked, a question we were all wondering about and just stared at him.
He just gave us a fake eye smile. "Classified" Making us all sigh.
"Naturally." I mumbled with a smile.
He got up slowly, he was slightly shaky as he made his way to the bathroom. We all just watched as he shut the door. "He is walking." I smiled at them as the air got even more awkward.
Walking back over we all just watched him as he moved so slow and sat back on the bed. "Wont be long until we can leave." He spoke, I checked him over with my eyes glad he was not hurt, even if some parts of his clothes took a beating, there was a few small cuts but nothing serious.
I don't think I will ever be as badass as him.
Choji brought out a bag of chips again, I find the vices in this group laughable. One never stops eating. One never stops sleeping and there teacher never stops smoking. Looking at Kakashi, and he never stops reading dirty books over and over, I wonder what vice people see when they look at me.
"So how many did you fight?" Choji asked as he looked at Kakashi like I just was, the badass unhurtable fucker right here.
"Three." He gave a eye smile making us both look at him a little bit more impressed, I will never be in his league, I did remember seeing one but I did not see three.
I bet we are quite the ego boost here, Shika just had his hands behind his head and eyes closed, looking asleep.
We hung out for a while but it was less then an hour when he said he thinks he can walk back now, we all worried and said we can stay for longer but he insisted. We got our stuff and headed out the door returning the keys, since he was still hurt we will be walking back for a while and headed straight into the treeline.
"How do you all know what way to go every time without a map?" I asked.
Both Shika and Kakashi looked in thought. "I just do." The later spoke.
Looking at the trees from this angle made them seem even bigger then when you fly through them. I stuck near kakashi in case he was going to fall over, not sure why we left so soon, maybe he felt he was taking up to much time I don't know.
If he just rested longer we might be running, it was kind of pointless.
I started to run over my failure over and over mid fight, no one said a word to me about it and I am glad they have not. It was a big mistake and I got lucky Kakashi did not have to protect me also, I may have ruined the plan Shika had been thinking so hard about.
We walked for a few hours when Choji wanted some lunch, that made me smile, I rarely ever eat lunch unless I am in the village, its breakfast and dinner. He said he has slices of meat to cook, so I went for wood as they found a spot to set it up.
Grabbing a few I felt Kakashi head my way, I bent down to pick up wood when he came into view making me pause mid squat. He had a praying mantis on his hand, I stared at him with a funny expression on my face. "He won't get off." He said with a small smile.
My dream came back in full, my expression changed and he looked at me confused. I dropped the wood I held as I just looked this green vest powerhouse up and down with fear, he blankly stared at my face.
"You don't wear a red thong or red underwear do you?" It just slipped out, now he looked scared and confused he stared down at me like it was the craziest question he had ever heard in his life. "Shit." I sighed at making him uncomfortable. "Sorry." I stood up with out the wood forgetting about it. "There I go crossing the line again." I started to walk away. "Ill just go die now."
I made it a tree away when I heard a small laugh making me look back, he had his back to a tree hands in pockets and the bug was gone.
He looked at me and asked. "What?" The small happy eye smile on his face was just the cutest thing, he started to laugh harder. "What?" He laughed out a second time, feeling a little embarrassed as I watched him laugh crossing my arms but the smile slowly filled my face at how adorable he was right now.
"A red thong?" He looked at me so confused with so much joy. "You think I would wear a red thong?" Smiling I looked at the sky blocked by branches.
I had an urge to tell him why I asked but it was weird dream. I just watched him laugh at my stupid question making me calm down, so glad he is laughing and not angry or awkward. I have never seen him laugh this much before making me just give a silly smile as he slowly stopped laughing as hard his eye closed in happiness.
He calmed down and looked back at me, making him laugh again. "You can be so strange sometimes." He spoke giving me a flicker of joy in my heart, I gave a smirk as he stopped leaning on the tree, dropping my arms I gave a smile as I turned away and headed towards the others.
He followed with some small giggles as he caught up to walk next to me.
"Oh, the wood." He said making me pause as he looked back down at me, that made him laugh lightly again.
"Right." I giggled and spun back around for the wood.
I was still so curious if they are red as I picked up all the wood I had dropped but I can't tell him why.
I looked at his face passing him, he followed next to me as we started to walk and stared at me for a second before I looked back up at him, I guess my weird worry was back on my face. "No, not red." Hearing that sent the biggest wave of relief through me and I know he could tell, making him curious as to why when the calm smile crossed my face.
We made it back in a comfortable silence as I put down the wood, Choji seemed a little annoyed at the fact it took me so long and they started the fire.
"You cook the best meat." I spoke to him food in my mouth as I looked at the chubby boy.
He smiled. "It's something I know how to do perfectly." He smiled back as he downed like three meat right after each other and not even waiting for them cool. After we ate and Kakashi snuck a few in we started to move again but this time he had the strength to run so it did not take us too long until we got back to the village.
Passing by the gate I waved at them, still sitting in the box and they waved back, we just all moved quickly to the Hokage and told her about our mission as she looked curious why Kakashi was with us, it did not take long and we were dismissed after she paid us, Kakashi staying behind.
I headed home slowly as I walked passing the flower shop making me stop, there was a lot of big plants outside but I don't think they would do well in my small home, walking inside there was an older lady behind the desk who looked so much like Ino.
All I saw was flowers, I asked about plants and she pointed me down a side I never saw before. I don't recognize any of them and after I took forever she headed over to help me.
She pointed me to a few small ones and said they need sun but not as much as others and a few that would need to sit in my window for light. I took one of the later a very small plant that reminded me of a spider plant from home. I jumped into my home and placed it on the side of my window I don't sit on.
I stood back and admired my plant making me feel the need to clean my house, I can be a bit of a slob.
I was slowly walking in the grocery store for everything, walking down the hygiene products I really started to look at them, most I don't understand what they are as I grabbed the shampoo I always get and looked around.
"What's this, what's this, there's products everywhere, what's this, what's this, I think it goes in hair." I quietly mumbled to the song from nightmare before Christmas that popped in my head, I looked at the label of something.
"You are so fun to sneak up on." I spun in shock there was fucking Kakashi again. He had a happy face as he moved near me and picked it from my hand. "Actually it goes on your face." He spoke with humor.
I smirked. "Enjoy it now, one day I will see you." He gave me a real eye smile.
"I don't doubt it." He gave it back and I put it on the shelf, without really looking almost knocking one off at the jolt of happiness go over me at the compliment, I quickly caught it and put it back carefully looking this time. I was about to think I might not seem as useless to him but after that.
Looking back at him then to his basket that had some food in it. "You cook?"
"Not much." He eye smiled as he moved down the isle a little and pulled some shampoo off the wall as he looked in my almost empty basket. "You?"
"Ya, when I miss home I cook." I turned back to the wall of strange products and continued to look for something I want.
"What are you looking for?"
"I am not sure." With a smile. "Just looking, so many products here I never tried."
He pulled some gray bottle from the shelf. "This makes your skin feel like it's on vacation." I looked over at him as he held it out in front of his face.
"Ah really." I walked over and took it from his hand, looking at it seemed more like a body wash, I opened the lid and smelled it.
"Ah it smells like you." I gave a smile and handed it back, when he looked at me curious. "Its nice, like a forest." He slightly blushed, making me feel I did something weird again.
"What did I do now?" I lightly laughed out, he looked like he was about to tell me when he just shook his head. "Alright well, sorry." Was I not supposed to smell it? I always smell the bottles.
I pulled something off the wall that was shampoo and smelled that in front of him. "Meh." I put it back. This time he picked something off the shelf and sniffed it, making me smile if that was what I did wrong.
He hung around and we just sniffed things when I came across the face wash I grabbed earlier. "Have you used this?"
"No."
Reading the label. "Hmm might as well try." I tossed it in my basket.
He was done, he gave a friendly eye smile and a small wave before turning away and walked down the isle. "Bye." I said with a laugh in my tone.
Looking around a bit longer before I headed to the area with chips and snacks.
The dream was a real one I had and I had to tell it, so I put it in the story.
"What's this, what's this, there's products everywhere, what's this, what's this, I think it goes in hair"- was a joke I saw somewhere but I thought it would be a nice moment, I hope its not wrong to put in my story.
