I walked out of my bedroom with a yawn. I stepped over all the spread out scrolls all over my floor that Hayashi left behind. He has been trying to figure out my tattoo without messing with it.
He had been pulled out last night for a mission. He did not want to leave my floor but had to, leaving the mess behind and told me not to touch anything.
Feeling like no making coffee I just headed out of my place and wondered to the coffee shop. I was now a regular here and the pretty knew my order. It was a warm morning as I strolled around with my large coffee.
I saw Iruka up a head just standing there making me speed up and land beside him. I did not startled him as he looked at me. "Hey, what are you up too." I smiled at him.
He looked as happy to see me as I did. "I was called to teach a class."
"Ya?"
"Chakra refinement for genin." I just nodded in interest. "Just some more advanced technique for people who may want to fix that problem." He looked tired saying that, making me just look at him curious. "It will be a long while just watching people with there eyes closed." He joked.
Then I back slapped his arm. "I will come." He looked at me curious. "ya I could probably use it and I will be there when you get bored." Sipping my coffee he seemed to like that idea.
"Well it is in an hour at the school, busy?"
"Nope."
I followed him around town until we headed to the school. The place was set up like a yoga studio with random mats to sit on. There was a large one at the start of the room I assume for Iruka. He pointed me to the one sitting in front of him I just sat and crossed my legs. "This is different then any class I have taken."
"Ya who knows how many will show up but these classes only have a few." He said tired again. "Once no one had shown up." I laughed. "I had to wait about fifteen minutes just incase."
We played some tic tac toe as we waited, ninja's just love it. They tend to use more logic and treat it like a strategic thing when all I do is basically pick an empty spot. I think they would love chess.
We stayed playing when a young kid came in and took a seat quietly, when two more people showed up I took my seat and we waited as he watched the door before he checked the time and turned into a teacher.
We followed everything he said, I took everything in, his teaching was amazing and it actually helped me.
When it was time that everyone was focusing on chakra with their eyes closed I opened mine with a smile. Because I needed to stay silent so people could concentrate he pulled out the game shogi from the desk, I knew the basics but only played once.
We just sat there an played and I sucked at it.
The class did last an awfully long time but I actually had fun and started to understand the game much better. He had things to do so we parted ways but I was glad to have that time with him, I felt like I had not hung with him in far to long.
That ended up being my only conversation of the day, I headed home when the sun was setting jumping in my window I almost stepped on a scroll. "Right." I laughed, can't even pick one up because I think they are in a specific order.
I watched some t.v and ate some take out before I went to go to sleep, turning on my light I changed into my pj shorts and tank top about to get in bed when I saw a small scroll on it.
Confused I picked it up and read it.
Here, make your own ice:
Written below was some hand signs and a few tips.
Don't push to much chakra.
When you can make a small wave find me - mist.
I looked at the page with the biggest smile. "Thanks Kakashi." I laughed at the fact he put it on my bed, looking at my table covered in scrolls making me understand. I loved his writing, it was messy but readable and prettier then mine.
Putting it on my nightstand I turned off the light. "Kakashi sensei." I lightly said.
I curled up with my pillow there wishing he would of taught me in person but also so happy he took the time to write that for me.
I spent my day again alone wishing for someone to spar with but my friends zone is not that large. I could freeze a small bowl but that was it. I tried to freeze my bathtub and had to lie down for an hour.
I could not understand any scroll on my floor. I closed my eye's and tried to see what they could see. When I focused really hard I could feel it, It was like a little heartbeat making me feel my heartbeat and my tattoo to make sure that was not what I was feeling.
They were different. "Hmm."
I then spent hours practicing with Kunai. I just slid off the branch and fell to the ground not sure what to do, looking at my kunai mess I just flopped on my back closed my eyes and just did what I learned from Iruka, training without moving.
I Just focused as I moved it around inside me and lost track of time. when I finally opened my eyes I felt like I fell asleep, looking up the sky the stars were out. "Did I fall asleep?"
I sat in the dark not wanting to clean up my mess I just crossed my legs. That was quiet the trance I was in.
I sneezed, I wiped under my nose even there was nothing there, when the words someone once said to me popped in my head. 'Someone is talking about you' I like that thought, hope it is good.
Then again many people used to talk to me and I never sneezed.
Cleaning up I strolled home, wide awake like I slept for years. I passed the library, with nothing to do I just strolled in passing some women at the front desk, she gave me a nod and went back to her book.
I browsed unsure what I want to read. I cracked open a few books but always put them back. I was at the far back when I could feel something weak on my skin making me stop and look around. I was alone as far as I know.
Trying to figure where it was I looked at the wall next to me. "It is coming from here." I mumbled as I put my hand on it, is this like a secret room of books like in harry potter?
My smile got so big as I touched the small hum, It looked like a wall. I started to look for a way in when I paused. If they have not told me about it, I am probably not allowed and I don't want to get in trouble.
Looking around, not one person was near me and I would not get caught. I stood there with one hand on the wall and my face facing the rest of the library.
Nervous I ran my hand over the wall, looking for anything different when I touched something and I lightly pressed on it but nothing happened. I moved my hand around before giving up and walking away, I should ask someone that trusts me about it.
I started to stroll back looking at scrolls and books making it a few Aisle's away when suddenly Izumo and Kotetsu landed in front of me with such speed weapons out to fight.
We all looked at each other with shock.
Kotetsu looked behind me at the wall and Izumo looked at me. "Was that you?" He pointed to the wall.
"Yes." I told them blankly, making them look at me funny worry in my heart. "I can feel something there and ran my hand over it." I was calm talking to them and did not want to lie, they both put away they weapons and seemed to understand.
"So there is a secret room back there eh?" I smiled and pointed, they did not say anything. "Anything interesting." I smiled as I looked back for a second before looking back at them.
"You will be a great senser one day." Izumo spoke to me making me feel flattered. "It is our main work, archives." I nodded understanding, the stuff that actually matters is back there.
"Sorry for making you run here." I gave a small smile. "Had I known I would not of felt up the wall." Making Kotetsu laugh and Izumo nudge him with a smile. I was going to look around more but I had a feeling I should leave with them now, just to make them not worry about me trying to get in.
We all walked out together talking lightly and it was not tense or weird or anything, the lady at the front desk watched us with interest as we walked by.
I just headed home with nothing to do, I leaned on my wall looking at Hayashi's mess, still to buzzed to sleep.
I grabbed some clean clothes and headed to the hot springs. I floated around up to my neck, freezing small spots every once in a while and then watched it melt away. These last two day's have felt so lonely, I love missions and when on one, I was never really alone.
I was over heated and got out, I paused on the red bridge and just watched the hot water run below feeling like I needed this fresh air when Kakashi landed next to me from no where. We just looked at each other before I saw his eye's hit my wet hair and my eye's landed on the bag in his hands.
I smiled at him. He put a hand behind his head. "I like it at night when no one is around."
Looking at his mask. "I understand, it is awesome in there right now." His eyes went from me to the springs when I could see something passed in his mind and look at me funny. "What?" I gave a curious smile.
"Nothing." He rubbed his head some more when he started to blush. "Well I am gonna go in." He left fast and went inside.
I watched his chakra a little lost at what just happened. "And I am the strange one." I mumbled and decided to walk home again.
The morning sun was extra warm today with no clouds expecting another day with little to no contact with people when I ran across bug boy sitting in his seat at the shop. He looked at me with acknowledgment making me smile back and take a seat not far from him, I sat as I watched his chakra wanting to duel him.
I am sure he would take me down but I was curious how much I can fight back on someone like him even if I don't want bugs on me. He noticed I was catching glances and stared at me a little hostile making me stand up and slide into the seat across from him with courage. "Will you fight me?" I asked seriously with a small smile. I could not read his face as I waited in silence.
He gave a small head nod making me smile. "I have never fought anyone like you and I would like to see if I can even stand a chance."
"No one ever asks me to spar." I gave a small smile and leaned back in the booth, I can see why but I did not say that out loud.
He looked at his food. "Don't worry eat, I am not in a rush." I stood up and went to get more food and a new coffee. He seemed like he did not mind so I slid back into his booth.
"I don't know much about your clan." I smiled as he ate. "So what do your bugs really do anyway?"
"They eat chakra of my enemies." I nodded.
"That is interesting." Curious what my chakra being eaten feels like.
"They don't seem to even acknowledge you."
"Really? Because I can see them."
"So you are not afraid of bugs?" I smiled.
"No, I am." It was silent. "I once befriended a lone spider, he stayed out of my shit I left him alone and sometimes he would move towards me and just chill, that is the most time I ever spent with a bug." He gave a weird creepy smile as he took a bite of his food.
I followed him as we headed to a training zone. I stood there in wait for him to start, he stuck his arms out as a large swarm of bugs came flying from his sleeves, it was creepy and cool at the same time making me nervous.
I don't wanna hurt the bugs but block them from hitting me and maybe attack him?
Deciding to wait just to see what he will do and just defend myself at first.
I pulled water onto my hand and wanted to use it to block them all from touching me. One pile headed my way so I focused on them. I moved my water around, I was trying to block the bugs from touching my skin.
They at least moved in groups, if they split up I could not block it. It was the calmest but nerve wracking fight as we both just stood there.
Knowing when more come I will be doomed so I rushed at him and slashed out when I cut him deeply I got scared for a second until he turned into bugs himself making me breath and also creeped me out a little as they all ran at me making me do the same thing and switched with a log in the nearby trees.
Finding his actually hidden chakra, he was good but not that good at it, he knew I was a sensor just from a small conversation in the shop making me smile and head his way.
I ran at him making him jump backwards into the field and his bugs all came at me as I slid closer and tossed down smoke bombs curious if the bugs can get in it or if it is like at home and it puts them to sleep, I felt him try to run out. He knows smoke well using my whip I went to grab him but I noticed what I went to attack was again nothing as it all faded away.
More bugs.
The bugs could not get to me at the moment but that kid knows how to handle himself in a smoke bomb. Getting ready to be assaulted I made a shimmering clone and tried to pinpoint this kids real chakra but the more I focused the more all I could see was the small swarms of bugs, I got a little annoyed before I smiled. "This is what I asked for."
Making two clones all three of us ran out of the smoke into the tree line In three different places, I headed to the right and noticed him or his bugs were not following me, I thought he was part of a hunting team? I ran up a tree to the top and hid, just waiting.
I was about to fight when his bugs flew passed me and did not see me, shocking me, the bugs can't see me? A smile on my face as I moved toward the real kid as sneaky as I could.
Boosting speed I was almost at the kid way to fast as he ducked from my water and back flipped backwards when I slashed out again.
"How did you do that?" His monotone voice asked.
"I am not sure." I smiled as I went in to kick him and he held my taijutsu just as well when I suddenly felt a bunch of the tiny little leaches all over my back making me stop and tried so hard not to shiver and insult this kid.
But then I felt them all hit the ground like tiny stones making him make a strange noise and me look down with fear.
"What the fuck." I yelled as I bent down to pick one up and he was next to me looking the same.
"How did you do that?"
"I don't know." I said silently. "Your poor bugs." I cried out and he seemed to agree I picked one up and it was like he just turned to stone.
Both me and him looked at them all with the same shock.
"I did not want to hurt them, I did not mean to do this." I whispered in sadness and I think he believed me.
Looking around it was about ten, he loves all bugs so I am sure it is a lot to him but next to his swarm it was kind of nothing. He took a few to take home and ask his parents and I just nodded hated the way this spar ended.
I stared at the way he left and just looked stunned I tried to figure it out but I just couldn't. "How, why, how!" Looking around I wished someone saw that, maybe if his parents figure it out he will let me know but I need to know now.
"We really do need to figure me out." I looking for anyone who could answer and saw no one, as I spun around looking in the middle of town, not anyone I recognize.
The only person I could think of that is around was Kakashi as I ran to his home, jumping in his kitchen window he was not here.
I just sat at his table and waited, he should come home eventually.
Pulling out the green icha icha feeling weird reading porn in his house but it was better then snooping, starting from the first page.
I was far into the book with a dirty smile on my face when someone strong ran by pulling me out of the book. I looked up and outside so much time has passed. "Man he's not back yet." Standing up and looking out the window I sighed and put the book away, looking back at the empty home I tried to think of someone that is around, Tsunade popped into my head.
Jumping out I headed to the big red building.
Walking up to the doors I could feel the tense in the room filled with a few ninjas. So I waited outside the doors about fifteen more minutes leaning on the wall with my arms crossed, when finally the group left quickly. Peering in from the hallway, Tsunade and Shizune looked stressed when she saw me and looked at me confused, I gave a silly wave and she motioned me in.
"If this is not life or death I will have to ask you to come back some other day."
I just nodded. "It is not." I stepped backwards. "I will just go." I pointed behind me, she nodded and I just moved back into town this time walking looking for someone who does not hate me.
I just stopped and stared at the sky, maybe bug boy will figure it out.
I decided to just go back to training and pushed away another question without an answer.
Stepping over all of these scrolls were getting annoying but I promised him I would not touch them, it has been a week and a half so since he was gone. I did two small stupid D rank inside the village just to take up time but after the second I realized it was not worth it. So I was sent on one C rank, it was short and uneventful.
Everyone was gone including Anko.
I looked up at the creepy bar, the one filled with scary people. The music was blaring as some people came poring out. I never went in here since they cornered me that one day. I wondered in, the air was filled with smoke.
I did not know a single person as I walked to the bar and ordered a drink. No one looked my way as I looked around. Watching two ninja's arm wrestle made me crack a small smile. I guess it works in this world if your both the same strength.
He handed me my drink, thanking the cute bartender I just watched the fight.
When a small crack appeared under there elbows making the bartender yell. "I told you, you break one more table your out." They glared at him. "Get out!" They looked angry but slowly left.
Looking around I really did not like this place, I just sat down my drink on the bar and went to leave when my ass got grabbed. Looking over was some creepy looking ninja I gave a small glare and just walked away knowing I wont go back there and I just walked enjoying the quiet night.
When I felt Kurenai and Asuma nearby.
Peering over I found them in an alleyway kissing, making a big smirk appear on my face. Then they paused a shock going between both of them and slowly looked my way, feeling so bad that they would react that way.
"What is this?" I said as I looked around. "It is dark." Turning away. "My god It's everywhere, I can't see shit." I walked off. "It is amazing." I yelled before I boosted my feet with a silly smile at their cuteness and just headed home, they seem perfect for each other.
I woke up cuddled into my pillow when I saw Hayashi's chakra. Excitement ran through me maybe I can finally move the stupid scrolls.
Opening my door. "Hayashi." I almost yelled startling him as he looked up at me making my face drop, he had an arm in a sling and looked slightly rough. "No, what happened?" I moved fast and slid on my knees in front of him.
He smiled at me. "I am fine." He looked back down. "Thanks for not moving these." I just nodded with care. "I could not stop thinking about this."
"Aw you poor strange man."
I stared at him waiting for him to say something, he sighed and looked at me and gave me a look that said 'ask', I looked at his arm. "You know what I am wondering."
"I got in a one on one fight with jonin." I was shocked as I checked him over when he gave a kind but proud smile. "I won." Making me squeak.
I just let him mess around, he had been waiting for this and I made some coffee as I leaned on my counter and just watched this cute man. I then grabbed my things and had a shower dressing in the bathroom, I hate dressing in the bathroom with the hot air the tight clothes stick to me. I made a coffee for him and me and placed it next to him. I heard him mumble something making me look at him but he made no sign what he said.
"I am going to do my morning shit." He nodded but I don't think he listened and I jumped out my window.
I did not get far when Shizune was looking around like crazy making me stop and ask what's wrong. "I can't find Hayashi." She sounded so worried making me laugh.
"He is at my house." She gave me a confused look and I showed her the way.
Jumping in my window she sighed as we looked at him. "Why did you leave?" She asked sternly.
He looked at her sad. "I am fine."
"Well, you are okay to move around but the Tsunade want's to speak to you." He looked up shocked.
"Oh okay." Standing up he walked to the window and Shizune followed as I looked after them with worry.
I flopped on the couch as I worried and wanted to see when he came back, he would be back. I waited for him as I watched some show feeling like I was wasting my time and that was weird to me. I would sit for hours at home.
I sat up as he jumped in my window.
He looked at me shocked making me stare back confused. "She made me a Chunin." His eye's were big. "She would not let me say no."
"I thought you needed to do a test?"
He just shrugged his shoulders. "She thinks I am wasted and needed to promote me, even if most need to take the test."
I smiled. "Congrats." He smiled as he sat back down and got back to it.
Now he was fine and back I went to do what I needed to do leaving him in my home. Coming back hours later and he was still there. "Okay." I bent down and made him look at me. "Sometimes you need a break." He looked at me sadly. "I wont move them, just go, eat, shower, see your girl who you probably have not seen in a while."
He looked startled like he forgot about her and nodded with fear in his eyes, jumped out my window making me smile slightly.
Waking up the next day Hayashi was again on my living room floor, I left him be and did my morning routine, when I came back I made him get up again.
He nodded and left, I tried to clean what I could when there was a timid knock on my door, normally I ignore all people in the building and did not see this person until now as I opened my door.
It was Hayashi's girlfriend. "Hi." She spoke as she peered Inside.
"Hi?" I spoke with shock in my voice, we stood there awkward before I invited her in.
She came in with a timid smile and looked all over the floor as I asked if she wanted something to drink, shaking her head she finally looked at me. "See I wanted to throw a surprise party for Hayashi and his promotion." Making me smile at her, my worry at why she was here faded.
"That sound's nice."
She nodded, "I saw him leave so this was my chance, I came to invite you to it and maybe get your help." I nodded and waited for her to speak again. "I will let you know when things are decided." I gave a happy nod. "Might just to be getting him there and apart from all this." She smiled as she waved her hand around with a joke. "What ever he is so focused on." I laughed with a nod as she shut my door, I guess he never told her what he was working on.
I just watched her chakra, that was the first time I really talked to her.
She gave me permission to ask anyone I know that she doesn't of Hayashi's friends and other then that all I had to do was get him there on time, I stopped by Kuro's place but he was not here and seemed to be gone for a while so I wrote him a note with a time and place in case he comes back in time.
I did invite Asuma when I ran passed him he looked at me a little tense. I only knew of one other person making me feel like a bad friend and wished these boys would introduce me to others more often.
I need to open up my small circle of friends.
I was gathering stuff for pizza when I ran into Kakashi, calling out his name as I ran at him he spun and looked my way, he seemed tired and dirty. I told him about the party if he wanted to come and told him I am making pizza, he gave me non committal sound and I left him be as he did not seem into the conversation.
Hayashi was at my home so I used hers to make the pizza, her place was small and almost empty making me understand why it was not here. "I don't need a lot of stuff." I nodded.
"It is nice." She gave a friendly smile, she really did not have a lot of things. "I however need stuff." I joked.
"I don't see a point." She kindly spoke before she headed to the bar to set up decorations.
The man at the bar let me in the back so I could heat up the pizza when it was time in his oven, the decorations she made were so cheesy but I loved it.
Once I was done I headed home to watch and get Hayashi there on time. Jumping in my window he was standing up and digging in the scrolls on my table looking like he figured something out, I looked at him curious. He saw me with a smile. "Maybe soon." He went back to the scrolls, excitement went through me as I peered over his shoulder not understanding anything.
Checking him over he looked clean and his hair was perfect, naturally, and he still smells okay so all I need to do is get him over there, so I left him alone so I can get him to move later and fell on my couch as I watched t.v.
"Come on let's go do something." He made a noise as he was messing with a scroll. "Please, you need a break, let's go do something fun." He looked up at me and looked slightly torn, I bent over and grabbed his hand. "I am making you get up." He sighed.
"But." I pulled him to his feet and out my window, he followed me easy but I could tell he did not want to.
Getting to the bar I could feel so many people inside and I did not really know any of them. "We are drinking?" He asked sadly and I pulled him inside.
Everyone yelled. "Surprise!" His girlfriend at the head of the group shocking him for a second. He looked at everyone in happiness before looking back at me with kind eyes. People started to go back to what they were doing while calling out congratulations and he hugged his girl. "So cute." I mumbled as he went to talk to other people, seemingly glad to be here now.
I brought out the warm pizza's, people loved it but no one acknowledged me for it, I did not mind to much as I sat alone and drank watching all his friends.
Man Hayashi Is a popular guy.
When Kakashi walked in and looked around making me perk up as I moved to him fast. "Finally someone I know." I grabbed him and pulled him to the bar as he looked around and I bought him a drink. Spinning his face to the back wall I handed him a beer. "Chug." He looked at me like he did not want to. "I wont look." I smiled. "Promise." Turning away, Unsure if he drank I looked back at him as I took a shot myself.
"I don't know anyone here." I said but I watched Hayashi float from person to person with so much happiness.
He looked around. "I know a few." I saw him stare at this one girl who was looking at him with interest.
"Ooo, know her?" He looked at me with a smile.
"Not her." Making me understand.
"Well I would be staring too if I was not talking to you right now." I joked and downed my drink.
"How much have you drank?" Making me smile.
"A lot."
"Is that the pizza?" I nodded as he moved over and looked at the now cold left over slices and grabbed one, I grabbed a plate and put them on it.
"It is better hot." I mumbled as I took it to the back and he followed.
"Should we be back here?" He asked as he looked around, hands in his pockets.
I looked at him. "It is fine cutie." I put them in the oven for a minute as we waited in silence for it to re heat. "Glad you are here." I smiled as I swayed a little. "No one here likes me." I joked and went to pull it out, putting it back on the plate I handed it to him and turned around leaning on a counter so he could eat.
"Let me know when your done, take your time." I said to the wall as I picked up an empty salt shaker and shook it before putting it down.
"That was good." I turned around and tripped slightly.
"Good." We hung out for a few minutes but when people started to really talk to him I could see some social anxiety in him, so I was understanding when he had to leave.
I watched him leave like always, eyes on his ass and was so sad once he was gone. After that all the drunk people left me alone for a while making me slide out quietly and slowly walked my drunk ass home.
I was spending time with my now designated grandpa after I brought him his grocery's. After I filled his fridge and cleaned a little we just sat and talked like always. I had such a fun time we laughed a lot and I noticed I had been there for a very long time. I never had a grandpa, I had one grandma and my mom, that was all.
Leaving I slowly walked to the Hokage tower with no rush, stopping to grab some dongo, this mission does not pay a lot but I loved doing it. I still need to tell her I done it and get my small pay.
Walking in the building I could feel two familiar people up stairs making me speed up in excitement.
Kakashi was in with the Hokage and the door was shut but what made me speed up was that Jiraiya was there leaning on the wall.
A big smile on my face as he looked my way and seemed to recognize me.
I pulled out my book before I said anything. "Can you sign this?" I was so excited I could dance.
He gave a dirty smile and moved closer to me as he opened it and wrote something inside as I slightly bounced to where he stood before. "Always love a fan and such a cute one." He joked making me swoon a little and he noticed looking me over.
"You are an amazing writer, can I ask?" I paused and he looked up at me, I did not know how to ask a silly question and just pointed to myself a little embarrassed, He gave a deep laugh in understanding.
"Slightly, you gave me the idea." Making me almost blush a little but also so flattered when the door was opened and looking at me was Kakashi and Tsunade.
"Ava?" Kakashi asked looked at her. "You're sending Ava?"
I was so confused as I took my book from Jiraiya. "Thanks." I said quietly when Kakashi noticed he was there as he walked into view.
"Ava, you are still here?" Tsunade asked startled as Kakashi seemed to understand and seemed pleased to see Jiraiya but I just looked confused as I looked at her. "I thought they grabbed all the genin." Making me even more confused.
"I was at the old man's house." I spoke with worry I did something wrong she seemed to understand.
"Ava go with them." She said making me look at her even more confused, they kind of looked at me funny making me feel weak and small so I just nodded awkwardly.
They moved fast and I pushed myself faster not wanting to hold them back. So all the genin were sent to help the sand and I was over looked because they did not see me on the way out.
Feeling a little left out I kept pushing chakra into my feet for boosts and we moved really fast. "Out run me if you have to." I said quietly.
I know Kakashi heard me at least but they only ran slightly faster.
"So you sign books?" Kakashi looked at him.
"Only for cuties." He looked at me with a flirty smile with me making me give the biggest one back as Kakashi's head dropped almost making me laugh.
"Aw but kakashi is a cutie." I joked making Jiraiya look at him.
"Not from my view." Making me giggle a little.
I was still running on the high of talking to him, boosting more speed into my feet I moved next to them making them speed up even more, so I did it again until we were going so fast and I felt like I was flying.
We ran for a while and I started to feel so much Chakra in the air and not just normal chakra but dark chakra, a feeling I had not felt in a long while making me shake a little and pissing me off, they both noticed.
The closer we got the more it suffocated me, Kakashi noticed my face before we boosted speed again and headed towards it.
Sliding to a stop on top of a cliff looking down, the red head from the sand was on the ground but awake, all the genin surrounded him as they stood on what looks like a big pile of sand.
They all looked a little rough and Naruto was pretty bloody but everything was fine and the fight was over.
"Look at that." Kakashi walked forward one hand in his pocket. "We go to all the trouble of rushing to the rescue and it's all over." He joked.
Jiraiya walked up beside him on his right and I moved to the left watching all the kids. "It appears that Naruto is coming along pretty well, not that he is not still an inexperienced knucklehead."
"My you are hard to please." Kakashi said as he glanced at me. "Unlike this one."
My face held an astonished look that the red head did all this, he changed the environment.
Turning away from the kids, I smiled up at him, I took it as a compliment.
Jiraiya looked at me in thought. "I miss represented you, haven't I?"
A dirty smirk crossed my face. "Not completely." Flirting back at him and a big laugh came from him, it was nice to hear as Kakashi just stared down at the kids quietly.
We watched for a minute before heading down to cliff side everyone calling out Kakashi Sensei and Naruto screamed at pervy sage looking a little to tired. When he fell over making Sakura gasp and run at him as everyone worried and no one was breathing until she smiled. "He is fine."
All the genin noticed me but mostly ignored me, the sand ninja's did not know who I was.
Feeling even more left out as Jiraiya picked up Naruto and put him on his back. Being closer to our hidden village then we are to the sand Kakashi had picked up Gaara who could not move and put him on his back and we ran back home.
Most genin talked to themselves or told the men about what went down as I followed behind feeling like an alien again.
"You were left out this time?" Shino moved next to me, making me give a small nod. "Last time I was the only one left out, I know how it feels."
I gave a friendly smile. "Aw that sucks." I gave a small smile, maybe I have a new friend?. A few silent minutes I gave him a glance. "Did you ever find out what happened?"
"No one is a hundred percent sure as It makes no sense." I nodded.
"Ya a lot about me makes no sense." We moved on in comfortable silence when Hinata joined us at the back a little nervous but we smiled at each other with kindness. Heading back was better now with these two next to me as we chatted only a little, one does not speak, the other is a nervous wreck and I had no idea what to say.
I need to talk to these kids more, learn from them, they are strong and the small group of people I talk to just wont cut it anymore now that I don't have a real team.
It's just they are kids and I guess hanging out with them seemed, annoying, but they aren't, they are not the same as kids from my world, I started to see they can be more mature then me sometimes.
I ate my food slowly leaning on the table when I noticed Kurenai walking by, I waved at her and she paused and slid across from me.
"I heard you got Kakashi to a party." That made me stop mid bite.
"Is that strange?" She nodded.
"Since he became a teacher he has changed so much."
"Really?" I whispered. "What was he like?" I looked at her with such interest.
"A loner."
"I can see that." I quietly spoke.
"Cold."
"Can see that also."
"We used to try and talk to him and he would just walk away."
I gave a small smile. "He does that to me." I joked.
"I can't believe he actually went to party."
We had a nice short chat after that, my heart full. She did not mention Asuma but her team walked by with Choji and through him I found out Naruto will be leaving the village for a long time, Hinata looked at him sadly.
Once she got up I joined her and said my goodbyes and headed home.
Hayashi was not here as I scanned over his scrolls. How complicated is a seal, I wonder what I can do to help him.
I tried to remember when I got it, I am pretty sure it showed up between the earthquake and landing here as I had it in the hospital and I am pretty sure it was not there before then.
I tried so hard to think I started to give myself a headache making me get slightly irritated. I scanned all the scroll looking at all the kanji on my table when something hit me. "Maybe it is in English?"
If it showed up in my world, is that possible?
Putting my hand on it I tried to see what Hayashi can see but I was still so lost but I should bring that up with Hayashi. If there is a chance it is not in Kanji I can understand why he could not figure it out, if something like that could even happen but I am here so anything is possible.
I looked around, I take it he is at his home but he will be back, he has a bad need to figure shit out so he wont be gone long.
Deciding to go get grocery's I left, maybe then he will be back.
I was wondering around the shopping district when I saw Jiraiya and Naruto walking away, we were not close or anything when I noticed Hinata hidden behind a post making me give a small smile at the incredibly timid girl watching him leave.
"Bye kid." I whispered before heading towards her. "You should of said something." I spoke with a smile, one hand in a pocket making her look up at me in shock, her face went red and she shook her head.
We both just watched them until they were out of sight she started to look at little determined out of nowhere. "I will be stronger when he sees me again." I gave a small smile looking down on her.
Maybe I should have asked him about my tattoo, now it is to late but it gives Hayashi the chance to figure it out and that makes me happy.
I mentioned my theory to Hayashi, he started to write down everything in weird ways and I think I was right, It was in English.
We spent the whole night trying to translate because I know absolutely nothing about sealing and he knows absolutely nothing about English It literally took all night non stop.
The farther we went the happier he got, he had been so stressed before and things I guess started to make sense. He ran a hand through his hair as we sat on my floor. "I am so glad I am not just bad at this." I rubbed his back as we went back to translating.
Making some more coffee as we were both tired but did not want to stop and I was glad I picked up snacks.
I could feel the world wake up but we were almost there, I think.
He jumped up and looked at this scroll as he paced making me flop on my back, yawning and stretching as the light started to filter into the window.
He sat down shocked and made a noise. "I think." I sat up alert and stared at him. "I think it is the reason you understand us." He mumbled.
"Really?" I was interested. "Well that would answer one question." I leaned forward.
He grabbed my arm lightly and he looked at it wanting to do something.
I felt him push a small shock into my arm, when suddenly it was like I was electrocuted as it went through my body.
I was suddenly running in my old Apartment when the wall attacked me and I fell to the ground as it electrocuted me, my mind was fuzzy as I tried to push myself off the floor the lighting burning below me I saw the small tattoo slowly appear startling me but that was not the most important Issue at the moment as I whipped drool off my face and got on my feet continuing to my front door, my legs so shaky I could not feel them.
A flash of red clouds and spark of orange passed by when I found myself on my knees half a scroll under my left hand, It took a second to get a hold of my mind when I could hear something as I focused on it until I noticed a man was yelling something.
Looking up at him as he held my face in his hands. "I am so sorry." I heard as my mind started to remember who he was. "I am so sorry, are you okay?" I gave a weak smile.
"Hayashi, ya." I sat up straight as I was on my knees, my feet hitting my ass. "Ya, I am okay, I remember getting it." I spoke calmly making him look at me curious.
He already knew I was electrocuted but that it caused this to show up was news to both of us.
"Must be why it did that when I pressed on it, I am sorry." I smiled.
"I am fine and some memory came back so." We sat at my table, he had knocked everything off as he read the one we translated.
After reading and talking we came to the conclusion that it is the reason I can understand them and there writing, It also may be the reason people can not get into my head. All we know is that it comes from that clan that vanished from the land of snow and it might be something passed down between us.
Me being Electrocuted gave it power like the ninja's here.
He grabbed my arm again looking at it as I looked at the scroll, so much writing is in this tiny tattoo.
"Can I?" He asked me, understanding I was worried but nodded as he did what he did earlier and pressed on it with chakra.
Suddenly I was electrocuted again making me fall off my chair.
A small flash passed in my semi black out, a feeling in my heart that my world looked different in a way I cant focus on and then that feeling passed and I forgot as I came to looking at my floor.
"Urg." I mumbled, he was next to me trying to pick me up.
"Sorry, I thought that would have passed."
"Same here." I sat my ass sat on my feet again.
"Well, don't let people do that to your arm." I nodded.
"That would suck mid battle."
He laughed at me. "Might eventually run out or something but it seems to be trapped in it." I nodded as I stood up my legs shaky.
"It is like your scrolls?" I mumbled.
"So you have some lightning in your arm." He rubbed his head and stared at my arm. "I wonder if you can use it?"
I scoffed. "I think the only usefulness of it is to knock me out for a second."
It seems like we got it mostly figured out, to an extent and he suggested we tell the Hokage. "And Kakashi." I spoke up. "He was interested." He nodded stretching his arms with a pleased smile.
"let's get some coffee and breakfast." I nodded at the prospect of food. We jumped out my window landing on the warm dirt, the sun completely out.
"Okay genius." I spoke with sincerity. "Where to?"
