We followed along the slow moving caravan high on the mountain top hidden in the tree's.
The jokes these men made to the ones in the cage made me hate them even more. Every time a person lagged behind or went into the tree line I could see Anko twitch a little, she wanted to go take them all out but that would let them know we were following.
One man made a bad joke about the boss guy making him put him in the cage also, that made all jokes end making me smile as they walked in silence.
I had to go pee for the last half an hour I gave in and moved to find a good spot in a perfect bush. I was half way done when I was startled by a dog almost making me pee on myself as it stared at me, inches away.
It was a thin brown dog with wraps on his head, he wore a Ninja outfit with a leaf symbol as I stared at him awkward as I could not stop mid pee.
I was done not long after as I pulled up my pants. "Sorry puppy." I said and it wagged its tail at me. "That was awkward." I smiled down on him. "You don't talk huh?" It shook his head. "But you understand me well?" He knew exactly what I was saying when I went to pet his head he vanished. "Hmm."
Is that one of Kakashi's?
Spinning on my heals I quickly moved back to the others.
I caught up with a smile and they asked me with there eye's at where I went, I was sure they could have figured that out but I moved passed it and quietly told them about the dog.
"Ooo Mr. Mystery is on his way." She swooned a little. "She sent a powerhouse huh?" We shared a smile at the fact he is very sexy.
We did not speak for a while when I could smell the amazing smell of the ocean on the air. But then we ran out of area to hide. We waited on the edge of the forest watching it move down a large road.
The rolling hills made the road dip so we waited until they got to the area where they can't see us.
"I hope they don't get a boat." I mumbled.
"Ya they would see us then." Hayashi spoke with sadness.
"I don't think they will." Anko spoke as she pointed far down the road where there might be a small town just behind a hill, we could see a wall from this spot.
We moved fast and climbed the hill sliding on our chests, looking there was a village.
It was a port town, the old wood buildings were beat up and broken, from here would could see many boats and the people moved around lively. We saw them move the cage between the buildings and they brought it to an area with more, these ones filled mostly with women.
The more I looked the worse it seemed, the smell of alcohol was strong and it was filled with sketchy looking men.
"I think they are gonna auction it all off." Hayashi spoke with such anger but I was filled with fear, not about fighting but that this giant group of people want to buy or sell people.
"So what, should we transform and sneak in?" I mumbled.
"You love that jutsu huh?" Anko quietly laughed at me.
"Ya I may use it to much." I smiled back.
"Not the worst idea, depending how many Ninja's are there." Hayashi spoke.
"Ava, you transform and check them out, ninjas can't see your chakra." Hayashi said.
"Okay." I whispered as I changed my look.
"No a man."
"Right, right."
"This way if someone feels chakra they wont see." He said.
I turned into a better looking version of Chubs but still looking like a low life. "Well they can't see my chakra anyway, just like if you repressed it." I fixed my pants. "Besides, I doubt anyone would look twice at a ninja, I am sure there is many, all here for the same thing." I spoke quietly.
"Well look who has a brain." Anko nudged me making me smile.
They decided to join me, making me happy to not walk in there alone as they all turned into creepy looking men.
"Can you change your voice?"Anko looked over at me speaking in a very sexy man voice.
"I do but I suck at it." I said in my voice.
"Okay you two." She pointed at the boys. "Go together and I will go with my girl." Before she looked at me. "Don't speak unless you change it." I nodded with a smile.
The guys went first as Anko and I chilled on the hill and waited to not show up together.
"What do we do after we case the place?"
"Case the place?" She looked at me funny. I just gave a silly smile.
"Once we see what is going on in there, then what?" She looked at the sky. "Do we take them all to jail, fight like crazy or what?"
"Both." She looked concerned and I just nodded a little worried. "Try and find the higher ups and ignore the buyers." She looked at me. "Without a store they wont come back." I just nodded again.
The place was packed with the worst people, all the chakra annoyed me deeply. Half the people tickled my sense making me want to punch them but that is a good thing if we get into a fight. There was some open bars and filled restaurants, they actually smelled good making me hungry.
We moved closer to the pack in the middle of the square where they were slowly auctioning off one girl at a time. Hoping no one gets a girl and leaves, we don't have enough people to watch the way's out.
Looking up at the current girl, she was crying and scared, pushing away every need to help her I just turned away from the numbers being called and went to look for ninja's and people who looked like they set up this disguising thing.
My eyes landed on Mr. Boss we followed here as he stood near his pretty empty cage just like others stood near there own, the rest of the men we chased here spread out throughout the town. Giving a quick chakra scan most were between genin and chunin, some regular people but what scared me was there was a few strong people around.
I nudged her and started to walk to one of the powerhouses until I got him in eye sight.
He was scanning all the cages of women, looking like he came here to shop, me and Anko shared a look, knowing she understands I headed toward a second strong ninja.
This one was leaning on a wall with some drink in his hand as he watched it all with a creepy smirk. He did not look like he was shopping. She gave me a look and I headed to the other side of this town for the third strong man. This one looked like a ninja, he had the village in the sound on his hitai ate.
She glared quickly before she collected herself and spun away. "Did he see me?"
I spun with her. "No." We walked away. "Do you know him?" I spoke so quietly hoping she heard me.
"No, but." She breathed in and did not continue I just let her, we can't speak well here without someone overhearing I let it go for now. We passed the boys again and none of us even looked at each other as I brought her back to the middle where the last powerhouse had walked to.
My eyes landed on him, this one was not shopping or buying he was just looking around when he turned our way I looked at Anko hoping he did not see me. Nudging her I made her move toward a restaurant without looking back watching him with my chakra when I felt eyes on me.
I gave her a worried side glance and she understood, we went and ordered some food.
The eyes left as we got in line but sharing a look we stayed there, we did not speak until she ordered us some food and we found and empty table in a dark corner, the area was so loud with people talking and we seemed to have some space. "He might have been one." She whispered.
Knowing no one was sneaking up as we ate. "They are the only ones that are really powerful." She nodded and smirked at my girly voice coming from a man.
"Well, lets get the guys." I nodded at her. "After this, man this is good." She took a bite of her food making me smirk and eat mine with a shared smile.
When we saw them gave them a sign and we headed out of town to a hidden spot. From here we saw a group of three men with two women in chains heading the way we came.
We boosted our speed and took them down fast as they did not expect us.
Pulling the knocked out and tied up men into a small cave under a tree we released the girls and they ran away crying out thanks. We came back to the boy's waiting for us and we shared our information.
Our new plan.
Secretly take down the people that look like they run this and hide them in a broken down building to be taken away without alerting others.
Anko and I stalked a rich man wearing tons of jewels. He had to much confidence. The second he was alone we ambushed him knocking him out and pulled him into the building down into its old and dusty basement.
The boys had already put one down there, tied up like crazy with something covering his mouth as he looked at us scared when we dropped off this man and headed for the next. Once all of us took out the last of the weak ones we walked back to the square.
The rest have chakra and may be able to escape with ease.
They were bidding on Chubbs and it made me smile that not one person bid on him. He seemed both annoyed and relived at that fact. Then the powerhouse from the sound bid on him at a low price, Chubs looked at him scared, fear hit me deeply in the gut. "What is he gonna do with him?" I whispered.
"Nothing good."
"Should we help?"
She gave me a disgusted look. "No" I just nodded and watched the sound man take him away but he did not leave he just moved back to his spot and watched as they moved on to a second man.
I was about to say something to her when I felt a familiar feeling making me just smile at her weirdly. She looked confused for only a second when three big fire balls filled the main area from three different angles.
We watched as most people hit the dirt one man was on fire and was rolling on the ground like a fish out of water. Anko smirked as we looked up.
Standing on the far right roof was Kakashi. Shizune was standing on a roof in the middle and Asuma was on the far left. That was there battle cry and some people started to run out of the town.
I saw one guy try and move a girl he bought but she sat down and resisted, a few ninja's got ready to fight and the whole place just went crazy but my smile would not leave.
We dropped our transformation and Anko made the craziest laugh as she went after the sound ninja with passion.
Looking to the area near the boats where Kuro and Hayashi was mid fight. Fighting was everywhere I saw Kakashi had targeted the powerhouse that was suspected to be part of the higher ups, making me wonder how long they watched for.
Deciding that I will just tie up some weaker ones and started to chase after them all.
Pushing my foot in his back as I tightened my wire when I saw Mr. Boss running away, knowing I can't let him go I quickly finished and ran at him, sliding in front of him whipping his feet as he jumped backwards. "You." He barked.
"Me." I smirked, He did some hand signs and I braced myself as wind came at me, I put my water arm in front of my face as it blew me back a bit and gave me some small cuts.
Needing to end this fast I tossed down my smoke bombs and spikes.
I watched his chakra lines, when he went to kick out at me I used my water to block it as it cut in deep and he cried out. I spun down and kicked out his other leg as he fell back onto some spikes. He was about to get up when I kicked him in his side and he went flying but before he left my smoke I wrapped him in my whip and pulled him back. Noticing he could not move I tied him up in my wire.
"That was really easy." I said with shock as I moved out my smoke and headed for the next person looking to fight.
I started engaging with a teenage boy, his black hair was long and his clothes were dirty when I heard a familiar sound making me flip backwards as Kunai landed where I was. The first guy gave me a creepy smile as a second landed not far from me, a man around my age with a buzz cut and clothes just as dirty they started to move like teammates.
The kid threw Kunai with paper bombs making me switch with a broken chain behind him and slashed out but he moved away in time, then I just dodged and blocked everything they threw at me, with a need to get off defense.
The chakra in the air started to affect my breathing as so many strong fights were going on, Making me look around as I dodged.
Anko was still fighting the sound ninja as I was amazed at the snakes coming from her jacket sleeve. Chubbs saw an opening and ran again. Kakashi was still fighting that one guy. Kuro and Hayashi were fighting three as Asuma was taking one down at a time as he cleared out the weak.
Turning back I blocked Kunai with kunai and made two bounce off each other and hit the backside of the black haired one. I did not do it right as it just grazed him. I dodged the second mans fists and he went to kick out blocking with my water before wrapping my whip around his ankle.
I whipped him at his friend knocking them both down.
They came at me with tai and all I did was try and dodge, one got a good hit on me but they were getting cut by my water as I used it to block. The young one just got more and more pissed.
I tossed down another smoke bomb and made three clones. I slashed out at the black haired one cutting him bad. I pulled out wire and run in circles tying them up as I slammed them into each other pulling it tight.
"Why is this so easy?" I mumbled Looking down at them when the smoke cleared. One was bleeding pretty bad as he looked at me with fear. I looked around at all the fights. Asuma who was dealing with one of the last strong ones. Scanning Kakashi was dominating the other.
My eye's landed on Kuro and Hayashi who were surrounded by three, one chunin two genin and I ran at them. Kuro was keeping them from Hayashi as they fought. I whipped the ankle of one, blood started to come out as he screamed.
While a second was doing hand signs but Kuro was at him so fast he never got to finish before flying backwards with burn marks all over him.
Between Kuro and I the third looked startled just as Hayashi tossed a scroll and he was electrified making him fall on his knees.
The one I whipped turned at me but I was already sliding on the ground as I took out his feet making him jump with a pained face at his ankle, while he was mid jump Kuro kicked him in the side as he flew far away on the dirt face down.
I stood up and spun at the electrified man and used my whip to stick his arms against his side and Kuro wrapped him up with one throw of his wire.
I need to be able to do that, add that to my list.
Hayashi tossed a shadow scroll to the third man that Kuro burned holding him in place for a moment but he made hand signs while the other man got on his feet.
The second he was done with the signs the light above us was blocked as we all looked up.
Shit started to fly at us while the man gave a creepy smile. All three of us had the same idea as we slid next to Hayashi and he pulled out the scroll shield and we hid under it. We made it in time as I watched so many needles hit the shield and the area around us making the man almost growl.
What made me smile was the other man had to run out of the area, he made it with only a few needles embedded in his back.
The guy got out of the shadow grab and pulled out two big Fuuma Shuriken tossing them at us as the needles fell. Kuro went to block one and I used my whip to wrap around one as I spun it back on him making him slide to the side out of the way as the needles started to stop.
Boosting my speed I was In front him and slashed out with my water as he moved backwards, right into Kuro swords who appeared behind him.
Turning to the other guy who just pulled out all the needles Kuro was on him in a second he was down.
That was done, I looked around and the place was getting pretty empty. Mostly just women hung around in groups. I looked around at what was left but the power houses did a good job. Shuzune, Anko and Asuma were making sure all the captives were safe and unhurt.
The three of us walked into the middle of the town and I was unsure what to do. The women were so relived and happy. Blondie was in the group when he saw Hayashi and I, he looked at us and tried to slide out of the area quickly, I just let him go.
I looked around at them all, we won.
I stood there, Anko had a cut on her jacket and Hayashi has a very small slice on his face, I was the most hurt with small cuts. I stood there happy when Kakashi passed me as he pulled out all the men we hid in the basement to be taken away to jail I believe.
"You three seem to have great teamwork."
I smiled at him. "Ya."
We all got the women set up to wonder home, some onto a ship as they came from many places over the world. We also had a pile of women and one man walking with us towards home. I followed at the back of the pack quietly.
I was tired and lost in my head when I accidentally kicked a small rock making me kick it again when I got to it, I continued to kick it as we moved.
Asuma was next to me and lightly kicked it making me give him a tired smile. We stared a game of kick the rock.
I glanced at him wondering why they hide the relationship. I don't understand. I never really talked to this man but Kurenai has it good he is a fine piece of ass, strong and kind. I wracked my brain looking for something to say to him but I could not think of even a word, so we just took turns kicking the rock and smoking.
We passed a fork making many women leave, about three stayed with us. I was walking next to them when they quietly talked about the sexiness of these guys around us all I could do was smile and agree inside.
I was gathering wood with Anko, I bent down and she looked at me.
"Ya, in this world kids say they like someone but when something real is happening here, no one tells anyone."
"Really so all relationships here are like secrets?" I looked at her with shock.
She nodded. "Well not all, it is not like that in your world huh?" I grabbed a third small log, this forest does not give the same sized logs as the forests in the land of fire.
"No." I smiled at her. "So weird." I mumbled as I pilled one more on her arms. "Is it like wrong here or something to be in one?" I looked at her so curious.
"No, just sometimes embarrasses them, people knowing what they do in the dark." She smirked a me but I just looked at her in thought.
"It is weird being a pervert in this world." I joked with a smile as I picked up a log for me to hold.
"Are you not one at home?"
"Barely, in my world if you don't do that you are a loser and the more people you do the cooler you are."
She just stared at me for a second. "And what are you?"
I looked at her with a smirk. "A loser." Making her face change to kindness, as she shuffled the wood.
"Once a friend said he 'did' me when we were teens, it was a lie and looked at me scared that it slipped out, I let people think it happened so I was more of a slut then the lame virgin I was." She just stared at me. "I was happy to be thought of like a slut then the truth." Her face never changed. "He was so scared once that came out of his mouth, that when we locked eyes and I said nothing he chatted me up like I was a god." I lightly laughed while reminiscing, when her shock snapped she started to laugh so hard and loudly.
"That is awful and so sad."
I blushed. "Maybe I should have kept that to myself." I laughed as I picked up a bigger log. "Ohh look at this one."
She gave a small laugh. "Freak." she smirked at me and turned towards the area where the others were.
"Sometimes my mouth is not attached to my brain." I laughed.
"What brain?" She joked back at me as I picked up one more small log and moved to her with a laugh.
Making a fire Asume started to cook so much food. I gave him a look. "I know there is a lot of us but wow." He looked at me a little confused before he smiled the prettiest smile.
"I am used to feeding Choji." I laughed, that kid is always eating.
Everyone went off into there own conversations, I just sat the fire and pocked it with a stick. The conversation with Anko made me think of my first time.
I was friends for years and we decided to try being together but then his father was sick so he had to leave, moving city's away to help him. We did it once before he left.
It was so awkward, still hold good feelings for him but I don't miss him, unlike the only other one, the jackass I am glad to never see again.
Feeling eyes on me I looked up and saw Kakashi staring at me for some reason, my head tilted in inquiry he seemed lost in his head. He noticed I was looking at him and it snapped him out of whatever he was thinking about and his eyes landed back on the fire.
I looked around for a decent place to sleep, I gave my blanket away to the women and as much I am glad I did that, I felt regretful needing to sleep on the dirt. I found a spot at the bottom of a tree, I shuffled around making me feel like a dog before I laid down.
I just shut my eyes to try and sleep. I mindlessly watched the chakras as Anko headed my way.
Looking up at her she smiled down on me. "Move." If it was not with a smile I would have thought she was angry as I stood up. She laid the blanket down and got comfortable before looking at me and patting next to her. I gave a smile and gladly joined her.
Lying on my side I looked at her with a kind smile and shut my eyes, I was out not long after.
I woke up tangled in Anko's arms. I slowly slid out trying not to wake her and when I got up I shuffled far away from the large sleeping group. I decided to practice wrapping trees up in wire with one throw like Kuro can do.
I just could not get it when I felt Kakashi move around, I was to far to see with my eyes but I watched him from here, he seemed to pause around the fire.
Once he started to head my way I watched the trees my wire limp in my hand and covering the grass, sadness on my face when he came into view. "Sorry, I tried to be quiet."
He gave me a sleepy eye smile. "You did not wake me."
"Good." I smiled at him.
He looked at my wire and shook his head as he helped me roll it back up, we stayed silent but I was filled with joy as we did this tedious thing. Once it was rolled he showed me how to throw it correctly, before wrapping it back up and handing it to me. He made sure my hand was right and I tossed it, I still failed but did much better, I understand now.
This is becoming a thing when I am on a mission with him, him helping me in the early morning. "You may need to call me Kakashi sensei soon."
I looked at him with a smile. "Kakashi sensei." I mumbled before looking at him. "It feels weird." I laughed, He just stared at me.
"I will call you Kakashi sensei, If." I smirked. "You teach me a mist jutsu."
His blank face looked me up and down before giving me a fake eye smile. "Not yet." Shoving his hands in his pockets he walked passed me into the forest.
"Not yet." I repeated quietly with a smile. I am assuming it has to do with chakra.
I just watched him walked away again, my eyes landing back on his ass. We really are starting a tradition here.
"Nice ass." I spoke loudly in English making him look back at me with a question in his eye, I just turned back to the tree with a big smile on my face.
I did this until everyone was up. We headed out not long after and then the women left us at the next fork and that let us be able to run high in the tree's. Passing by the first land of rivers town we moved fast back into the land of fire.
We stopped at a small road side cafe, the biggest thing on the menu was curry.
We split into two tables, Kuro was next to me, Kakashi across from me and Anko to his left. We started to eat as I looked at Kakashi, he had ordered but did not eat. "Don't you ever get tired of not eating?" I looked at him as I stuffed my face, he was lost in his head again and snapped out of it but said nothing.
"I love food to much to secretly eat." I mumbled with my mouth full.
"I agree, show us your face." Anko joked as we all stared at Kakashi, Kuro seemed to not care about this conversation as he ate and stared out a window. Hayashi cut us off as he asked to switch places with Kuro. He nodded and traded.
Anko and I looked at him confused as he took a big bite of food but when he pulled my arm to him, we understood. "Atleast I don't need that arm to eat." I joked as I stuffed my face. That brought Kakashi out of his mind at the strange way Hayashi just stared at my tattoo. "Might be a seal." I mumbled at him making his one eye get big.
"Not might, is." Hayashi said as he put his hand over it again. "But I don't know how to figure it out without messing with her."
Kakashi grabbed my arm so fast and pulled me across the table, my chest almost landing in my food as I let out a squeak. He noticed, stopped pulling and his eyes went to my chest before he leaned forward more and looked at it.
"Of course he knows some sealing." I grumbled making Kakashi give me a real eye smile before putting his hand over it and closed his eye for a second.
He just looked at me shocked, I gave a small smile. "Ya I thought it was just a tattoo."
"Ya can't mess around with it without a chance of hurting her." He said as he looked at Hayashi.
"Ya, no hurting please." I smiled and looked between them.
"I have been trying to figure it out on paper but I am stuck."
"Jariya might be able to tell." Hayashi nodded a little sad, he really wanted to figure it out. "But he is not in the village now." That perked up Hayashi I gave him a smile, I hope he figures it out.
I just continued to eat once Kakashi dropped my arm.
"You get more and more strange." He looked at me with a bored expression.
"Yup." Anko laughed out. "She is a weird one." I just smiled as I understood what he meant, it was not about my personality its about my chakra, my mind and now my seal.
He again was staring at me with no real expression but boredom making me uncomfortable. "Eat" I spoke to him with an awkward smile making him snap out of his mind again.
Anko stared at him with her food just before her mouth. "Yes eat." Her eyes never left him.
We ran, Kakashi and Asuma a head of me, Shizune beside me and my boy's behind me. There was no real reason we were like that, but it is how it turned out.
Shizune gave me a few side glances. "Hmm?" I gave her a smile telling her she can ask whatever she was wondering.
"I know so much about you but I don't think we ever really talked." I just nodded.
"Ya not much." My smile reaching my eyes.
"Do you ever want to go home?" I saw Kakashi and Asuma look my way making me giggle inside, they all seemed interested in that question.
"Hmm, Other then missing some people, weirdly, no, not anymore."
"Really...why?"
Thinking it again. "I am not sure, I do miss somethings that are not found here but I love this." as I gestured about running high in the trees with such speed. She just stared waiting for a better answer. "I am a different person here and I, most of the time, love it."
"What were you like?"
I looked at her. "Weak."
She seemed to like my answer.
We ran silently for a while, looking back at her wanting to talk. "Would you rather be invisible or fly?" She looked at me strange. "Its a game." I smiled.
She looked at me. "Fly." I smiled at her.
Asuma slowed down next to me. "Invisible, I would be a better ninja."
"I agree with Shizune, fly." Anko yelled from up front.
The fact a lot answered made me smile, Anko slowed down to jump next to Kakashi where Asuma was and they all looked at me waiting for something.
I tried to think of one that these guys can't do on there own. "Be considered a liar or a cheater?"
Shizune looked at me funny. "Weird game, cheater."
"Me too." I smiled back.
"Liar." Asuma said with his eyes lost in the trees making me smile a little, aw Kurenai.
"I think I get it." Shizune spoke. "Would you rather die by freezing or being boiled alive?"
"Ya you got it, even if a little dark." I joked. "Freeze."
"Boiled." Anko said.
"I agree freeze." Kakashi spoke up without looking back.
"Freeze" Hayashi called out from behind, making me smile back.
"A zombie Apocalypse or an alien invasion." I spit out not really realizing.
Asuma laughed shocking me as I looked over at him. "We already had an alien invasion." Making Anko also laugh so loudly.
I spoke with a smirk. "Most of them are dead, does not count."
Shizune spoke up. "Ah you seem fine I will pick alien, the dead rising to blindly fight seems like a worse threat."
Kakashi looked back at me with his fake eye smile, I think I am starting to see the difference. "Ya, aliens are not that bad." Making my smirk turn into a smile as he faced forward before my smile dropped at why he faked his smile to say that.
I looked back at Shizune ignoring that. "I am kind of flattered." I smiled at her.
We ran all day, not to far from the village but we set up for the night.
I woke up swaddled by Anko and Shizune. I shuffled out, awake before the sunrise again. I just walked farther this time, moving as silent as I could to not wake Kakashi again and just walked. Not sure what I wanted to do I ended up heading so far I could not see there chakra.
The moonlight flickered on the small pond of water and I could finally see the sky. I slowly walked out on the surface and just looked up at it.
I wanted to swim but not get soaked, Looking at the direction they were I gave a small smile and took off all my clothes but my underwear not wanting to be naked. I will just ditch them when I put my clothes back on.
I slowly walked into the water and just floated there as I stared the only constellation I remember. 'tiger' is now being as common to me as the big dipper was.
I floated in peace with my ears under the water and just wondered if I could see my star. Making me think about Shizune's question, I never knew before that I would rather be here, I noticed how I don't miss home at all.
Sighing. "You need to stop that." I grumbled as I looked to the shore my head pulling out of the water.
Kakashi was staring at the stars too. "I did not shock you?" He blankly looked at me.
I just sighed again as I faced him with an annoyed smile. "I am learning when I turn around I may see you." I smirked at him. I felt ashamed for a second at the fact I am in my underwear before I thought that they are very cute and it is like a bikini.
I peered at him as he stared at the sky. The way he puts his hands in his pockets was kind of hot. I was about to ask him to join but that would be weird if we were both half naked. Even if I want to see what is under all that fabric.
I just sighed to myself with a flirty smile I just looked at the sky. He made a noise and I think he saw my face. Man can read everything. I need to fix that.
"One day" I whispered as I looked at him but this time he was looking at me confused making my smile bigger, he can't understand everything.
"I bet you are the hottest under all that fabric, I am thinking, jaw dropping." I said in English making him look at me funny again like before.
"Stop that." That made me laugh lightly.
"Never." I stared at him. "You are just adorable." I said the later in English.
"By the look on your face you are insulting me or saying something dirty."
I laughed again with a flirty smile. "The last thing I said was neither."
He looked curious. "But the first thing was?" I did not answer as I turned my smile back to the stars.
This time when it went silent I just watched the sky and floated when we started to see a bunch of falling stars making me perk up. "Wow so many." I said with joy while watching them.
Looking over he was also just watching them but now he was seated on the shore. I watched for a minute and I felt done as I moved closer to the shore until I could not hide anymore.
"So can you like turn around as I grab my stuff and get dressed." He looked at me before his eyes scanned the shore and saw my clothes, he calmly stood up and spun around and I quickly grabbed my stuff and hid behind a tree as I ditched my underwear and put on my clothes without any.
Wringing out my underwear I wrapped them in an extra shirt and put them in my scroll.
I walked up next to him. Nothing seems to faze this guy. I stretched unsure what to do now, morning is not here yet.
"What is a shooting star?" He looked down on me with a straight face.
"A small piece of rock or dust that hits the atmosphere from space and burns up." I looked back up at the sky.
"That is interesting."
"Ah I don't know how much more information I have as you have asked so many questions." I smiled at him.
We stood there quietly watching the sky slowly it all ended. "What now?" I mumbled. "Still don't feel like training, but morning is not even close." I said quietly just to say something. He moved In front of me and grabbed my arm to look at my tattoo with his hand and eyes or whatever they use to look at it.
I just stood there. "If you figure it out, give Hayashi a tip as I think he really wants to do it himself." He gave me a nod before closing his eye.
I just looked at his face then stared at his hair, with a strong need I reached out and touched it making his body tense and he looked back up at me.
"I kind of love your hair." I messed it up but just bounced back making me giggle and him stand up straight and looked down on me with that bored look he tends to wear.
Wanting to push his boundaries I just backed off.
I just sighed and walked next to the lake and lied down to watch the sky.
He sat down next to me but also a little too far away we just stayed like that for a while.
"Can you freeze water?" This time he looked at me before nodding. "Can you freeze the pond?" He stood up making me smile with excitement as I stood up also. He did some hand signs and wind came out of his mouth and the small lake froze.
"Is it frozen enough?" I quietly asked to no one as I slid my feet on it and I started to skate in my shoes slowly moving to the middle, when it did not break I smiled at him before I started to move around and spin on the ice.
Wishing for some real skates. "Woo its nice." He just watched me as I started to get a full hold and moved around in fun.
"What is the point of this?" Making me pause and look at him shocked.
"No reason, just fun." I smiled and waved him over. "Come."
He slowly stepped onto the lake and slipped a little making me laugh as I moved closer to help but he was fine and started to slide slowly, making me just skate in a circle around him. "I have not done this in years." I spoke with joy.
"I don't think I have ever done this for fun."
"In my world we have skates and it makes it easier."
"You guys do this a lot?" Sliding faster I got in the middle and spun around.
"We have games and stuff to do while skating." He started to move like I was. "You are good at everything huh?" I laughed as I grabbed his arm and spun him away so he slid faster making him look at me before he did the same to me, I however went father then he did and almost landed in the grass with a laugh.
We moved around in fun and he seemed to enjoy himself when it cracked under me.
"Thin ice in hot temperatures does not last long eh?" I almost yelled as I moved to the side quickly and he understood and followed me, the ground cracking at every part we skated on making me giggle.
Standing on the side we watched as it cracked more and one piece fell into the water before floating. I smiled and looked at him, he looked calm and happy as he watched the ice. "Does it take a lot of chakra to do that?"
He just watched the ice. "A bit."
"I want to learn how to do that." I said so quietly.
"It is less chakra then a mist jutsu but might drain you at this moment in time."
"Ya I still can't really do my water wave yet." He looked at me curious.
It made me do my hand signs and show him the weak waterfall that I can only do. "See, It sucks." I said once I stopped the water.
He gave a real smile. "You might be able to freeze a bowl of water." That made me laugh again.
"Make my own ice." I joked.
The ice started to crack more making us both watch it with a smile on my face. It was a comfortable silence when I felt the world wake up. "Ah morning." I mumbled as I felt the wonderful feeling, he looked at me confused. "What?"
I said looking at him. "How do you know the birds are not out yet?"
"You can't feel it?" He shook his head.
"Really? I always have, I thought everyone did."
"What do you feel?"
"It is like the world comes awake." He stared at me again but this time with a strange look in his eye before it landed on my tattoo.
"We need to figure you out." He sounded so blank it slightly scared me, like he was not a friend but a scary ninja.
Making me try and blank my face as I looked back at the melting ice, my heart felt like the ice, broken.
A few moments of tense air. "I am gonna find wood." I quietly said as I went to look for wood and walked away from him, he did not follow so I took my time as I slowly looked for wood.
I thought we were becoming friends, he is so hard to read, I sighed as I finally picked up a log.
I took my time but I kept running into perfect logs my hands were overfilled when the birds started to chirp making me look up. "We really do need to figure me out." I mumbled.
How weird am I? What else is not normal?
"Did I do something wrong?" I looked over at him, unsure what to say, as we awkwardly stared at each other.
"You just scared me, I just." I sighed. "Thought we were becoming friends." I told the awkward truth with a frown and I slightly felt bad once it came out of my mouth.
He just blankly stared hands in pockets. "I don't make friends easy." He looked at my feet making me cock my head in confusion.
"But you have so many." This time he looked at me confused making the biggest sad smile I ever made. "You don't see it huh?" He just stared at me more.
"One, Guy is obsessed with you." I gave a small laugh making him shut his eye in happiness. "All the people sleeping over there love and adore you." He just stared at me again. "Anyone I have ever met say wonderful things about you and for me, all I want is to be your friend."
I felt a little embarrassed when that came from my mouth, I don't do real like this often, giving me a need to make a joke.
"Besides every girl wants to see what's under that mask." Again I felt weird when that left my mouth. "That was a bad joke, sorry." I laughed out, he just gave a small eye smile.
Noticing another perfect log I could see from here trying to push passed this. "And your ass is as out of this world as I am." I paused mid pickup and looked at him. "Sorry I can't stop." I gave an awkward smile at him and picked it up looking at him and he seemed calm.
When he saw a perfect log and grabbed it, piling it on me. "Ya this area seems filled with the best logs." As I shuffled them around in my arms.
He started to walk back towards the group and I followed my eyes landing on his ass again making me give a small smile. "Stop staring at my ass." He joked out.
Making me giggle. "Never."
