I sat there with my legs up as I had watched that cold man bring food to everyone but me, he did not say a word as he paused and looked my way unsure if it was because I fought back or he wants me weaker. He is the only one that comes and its random but not often. I was hungry as I watched the man across from me eat a small bread a cup of water and I think very little plain rice.

He looked my way and ripped off a piece of bread and tossed it my way as it rolled on the ground and I thanked him. "Try and stay as strong as you can before you become us." I nodded as I tried not to cringe at the fact it rolled on the ground but he had a point as I reluctantly ate the almost stale bread.

I can't be picky right now I need to stay as strong as I can.

I again did not see the man again for hours, I talked to the man across my way lightly, sometimes someone would peep up but it was rare.

I learned he was a pretty decent ninja before the bracelet, eating so little and experiments, at that everyone becomes useless and trapped.

I was getting real thirsty as they only bring a small cup of water when the food comes and I had yet to have some.

He told me about how most people stop moving, go comatose or die when they finally try and mess a person with the seal, that has not happened to me yet, I do feel weak but not the way he explained it and I had no spot or pain on my neck.

I think because they are trying to see how I tick before they do that, a deep worry in my heart and a hope it takes longer then I will be here for.

I moved to the side and leaned on my left wall as I shut my eyes, my left arm slung over my left bent leg. I was feeling tired again but it was hard to judge the time of day it was, I don't fully sleep in here but just close my eyes and half nap, being nervous and scared.

Do they know I am missing? Are they looking for me? Or does no one even know I am gone? Will I die here? My questions are sounding like they were when I fell to this planet.

I have a feeling this time, it is all on me, I gave a small glance at my friend as he laid on the cold ground.

They know I can shock them now, I am sure I wont get a clear shot again as I looked at my tattoo and my very dry tongue over my mouth, I am so thirsty. One good thing about not having something to drink, I don't need to pee.

I glared at the bucket.

I just lied there when I heard the door slam making me jump up and move to my back wall as I covered my mouth with my baggy shirt and hand, my breasts almost in view but I did not care as I slid to the ground but in a position I can move easy. Mr freeze came over and stared at me through the bars without touching them again and spun the ring of keys in his very pale hand.

He was so blank and cold he made Kakashi look peppy. He stared like nothing in this world matters. "If you don't take the gas, this time I will pull you out and you will feel it all." He almost said it like the gas was being kind to me and for a moment I almost nodded.

But instead I glared at him as my hand and shirt tried to cover my face the best it could, he did not move, he was not scared of me but he knows I can electrocute him somehow and I think he was trying to see how to get at me easy with no fight.

He seems to hate fighting as I sized him up, his short brown hair was pretty short for this world and his cold eyes were slightly orange, I think he deals with us because he has that gas that comes out of his arm, I don't think he wants to be here but then I saw his coldness and I think he just does not care about anything.

We just stared at each other for a moment but he never even tried to unlock my gate or knock me out, I wonder if what I am doing will actually help?

We did not move for almost a full minute and it felt like an hour as we stared at each other before he started to shift around the keys and found the one he wanted. He started to move away his eyes not leaving my face as he walked over to my neighbor I had yet to see. I heard fearful noises making my heart drop as he pulled out what I think was a small women making me stand up scared as I kept my shirt up and my other hand on the wall.

Feeling like it was my fault as he dragged her away, she tried to fight but was so weak she could not even hit him with any force as he walked away, I stayed at the back of my cell not really looking as a tear fell down my face.

It was my fault.

I slid down dropping my shirt and wrapped my arms around my legs. "He came for her not because of you." I looked up crying at the man trying to make me feel better. "She was due for her next part of the seal, she had woken up from the coma not long before you came here."

I stood up and walked closer. "Really?" It still was terrifying and I felt sad but a part of me was glad he said that. I started to pace, I wanna get me and him out of here. "Do you have one?"

He made a noise. "One of the few, it is not perfect but it did not kill me so they try and keep me alive, but it is not completed I don't think." I nodded while I paced even if my legs were slightly weak making me feel like I was floating.

I spent my time trying to find a way out, pacing and half sleeping when the obviously heavy door slammed again making me move to the back of my wall and leaned waiting to cover my face with my shirt. This time there was two shadows made by the bright hallway light and I could hear that voice from when I was in that box.

The cold man tossed the small women back in the cage as she was passed out and the other came and stood in front of my gate.

He had shaggy piercing blue hair and dark eyes as he smirked at me. "Hello hot spring." That shocked me as I was ready to lift my shirt but that part worried me, I guess he is a fan of the book, I looked at him confused. "Oh I know you know what I am talking about." He went to grab the bars but cold man made a noise making him pause and drop his arms to his side.

His eyes checked me over. "Touch me and while your knocked out I will chop off your dick, how would you like life without it." I sneered at him completely serious.

He looked at me blankly as the cold man moved towards him as he gave him a worried look, the cold one just continued to walk away. "You are gonna let that happen, well good luck dealing with her yourself, asshole." He mumbled as he walked away.

I heard some words like, 'alive' and 'figure her out first' in anger. "I wont help you when you need her." He yelled before the door slammed.

I know the cold man can easily take me out so I was completely confused, was the second not here to get me out? I just looked at my main man and he just smiled at me, why have they not tried again?

"He was lucky when you did that you did not kill him while he was out." I looked up at him. "Next time, kill him." He sad darkly.

I just slid down the wall and shut my eyes, he was right, I had a big chance and if I killed him we would all be free, I felt ashamed at myself. I just half napped and waited for them to come back with worry but it may be a few more hours.

The room was quiet besides a few grunts of pain from everyone making me look over at him a lot, there is not much to look at in here besides him and it was the same way with him, he would look my way a lot. The door finally slammed, I just shifted so if needed I can run at him and got ready to cover my mouth when it was just him as he pushed a creaky cart of food.

I figured I would not be fed again as I watched him lay down trays on the other side before he came up my side, he slid one under my gate without looking at me and then the last before he started to walk away. I stared at the food and water wanting it inside me but I waited until he left and the door slammed to slid up next to it.

The others moved to eat as I saw the small boy with the women actually sit up, I inspected my food with worry before I picked up my small cup of water and sniffed it, it smelled like water and I was so thirsty and I went to drink it, when a small bit hit my lip I paused and looked at it deeply.

I moved from my knees to sitting cross legged and stuck my finger in the water.

The fact that I can move my chakra under my skin, I just can't form it outside my body but so long as my chakra is regulated under my skin I was able to make a small but sharp circle of water around my pointer finger. I tried to not get excited yet as I brought it to my bracelet focusing hard to spin as fast as I could and I started to cut into it like a dull saw.

I could feel his eyes on me making me look up at him, he just stared at my wrist in shock as he held half his bread in his hand mid air. It took a bit but it started to crack open and I pushed harder before it dropped to the ground.

A wall was lifted and I could sense chakra again, it hit me like a truck as it was off for so long.

I could feel the dark and dirty feeling of the half dead lady next to me, I could see the two in the cage, the women was the strongest but the boy was small and weak, I saw a person to my right that had never spoken but lied on the floor unmoving and one more beside the passed out one next to me. The guy across from me, he was semi strong being held back from the bracelet but coming from his neck it spread out far and his chakra was dark and dirty from it as he stared at me.

"How long until they normally come back from food?" I asked as I stood up with confidence as I could not feel any enemy in the immediate area, they must be pretty far away and might be in a very big place.

He grabbed the bars and pulled himself up for the first time, his eyes wide open. "A few hours." I smirked at him as I paced and looked at the best way to break out.

I did some hand signs and dribbled a little water over the hinges on the door before I froze them, Pushing chakra I rammed my foot onto the bottom one and I broke it loose before I did the top as my gate flopped open, stirring the rest.

I moved fast and did that too my main man first and I unlocked the rest but still had yet to see a chakra head our way at the noise. I got them all out as most finally got on there feet and tried to move around while using walls, the boy clung to the women's arm just trying to stand up. The one who never spoke was also standing a little shaky.

I grabbed the water from my cup and started to spin it around my hand as I removed all the bracelets, but other then the man I talk to no one seemed like they could fight besides the one women but even she seemed to weak.

We moved out everyone using others to keep walking, I went and slid the passed out lady onto my back as I can't just leave her and we moved towards the only hallway slow.

Looking at the door finally, it was big and looked heavy like iron, I paused and made sure no chakra was nearby before I pulled on it, it barely squeaked as they all moved passed it before I made sure to shut it slowly and quietly unlike them just letting it slam. We just moved without speaking When we came to a fork in the tunnels and paused unsure where to go.

I boosted my senses and tried not to cringe at our over powering scent, I saw no chakra and could not smell the right tunnel and I looked back at them unsure. He limped over and touched the wall, we all watched as he paused there for a minute before he turned back with a cocky smile and kind eyes holding respect and nodded down one.

I just trusted him as we moved down it slowly when it started to get brighter with more lights on the walls. I finally saw two chakra's on my sense, I moved ahead and peeked down the next hallway where I think the door to the room they stood in. I gave him a look he understood and I handed the lady off to him before I slid down the hallway just next to the door.

I watched them move into the small area at the door to an empty room, I could hear them talk about something with big scientific words, I recognized the smell coming from it, it was the room where everything happens. Fight or sneak?

A fight may take longer, and I don't know how many people are in this place we may only have a short amount of time to get out.

Sneak.

I watched chakra and they moved around the room, I almost jumped out of my skin when I thought one was coming to the door but he grabbed something and walked farther to the side of the room that would be less seeable from the door, when the second one joined him I peeked in and waved them over as I watched them with only my chakra so they did not feel eyes on them.

They tried to be fast as I moved over and helped a women and got them passed the door, we made it to the next hallway making me breath easier that they did not notice and we were no longer in eye shot. The man guided us down the many and confusing hallways when I finally started to smell fresh air, the place opened up to a big hallway and we could see a large ramp heading to the outside.

Everyone perked up until they saw a scroll blocking the way. I felt useful as I walked on it, the place it sat was on the wall with a few lines attached to the wall where I assume was a battery thing, a spot where people can turn it on and off easy. I looked at it deeply as they stared at me shocked and I smiled with a look at them that I did not know what to do.

He was stunned at me. "Cut it off from the bottom right wire." He whispered, I nodded and followed as it got shut off and we all moved up the ramp as the bright sun blinded us, looking it was around noon.

We were coming out from an area that can't be seen as it was underground, a big field and far in the distance was a forest and I hope dearly its the land of fire. We moved slowly not speaking but full of happiness and headed towards the forest when I felt three on my chakra sense making me pause and get scared.

I yelled at them all to run as I turned around and made sure I had one water fist, being ready to fight. They got so scared and started to move as fast as they could, the man still had the lady on his back as they all ran off, I was alone as I stood in a stance ready.

They came up from the ramp and it was the blue guy and the two scientists, I recognized their faces from my moments between being blacked out. The one I see the most was not here for some reason, I worried and waited for more to show up but I saw no one else.

They did however stay back and looked at me like they underestimated me, looking at me like I am amazingly strong, it felt kind of nice to be afraid of but they don't know how weak I really am.

I bit my finger fast and did my hand signs quickly making them back up and get ready as the two big wolves popped up on both sides of me. We all were ready to fight as they growled at them when I felt my main man head back towards me. They stared at me and waited just as I did, I was told never to make the first attack unless it was a ambush.

I was glad to have him as he got closer, he moved fast and slow as he limped but I was glad for him to have my back.

Finally the middle scientist went to fight as he tossed many senbon at me, my wolves yelled 'poison' in my head making me change from blocking to dodging as sometimes they can hit my arm being so small and thin.

My guy ran in front of me and my wolves and slammed his hand on the ground, it was like there was water under the ground as it waved and moved and knocked them all down.

He made a noise and I could see as he used his chakra the darkness spread but I could not worry about that right now as I used this opening.

I ran in mind fucking the senbon guy and went after the blue guy as he got on his feet and I went to kick him in the head, my wolves going after the third as he tried to dodge the fast teeth coming at him. I was missing my weapons pouch but was glad they removed my weights as we moved quickly around each other as I tried to get good hits.

It all happened fast as my guy ran in to take out the man I mind fucked who was still under, he moved in fast and high kicked him in the head with so much power and he went flying as his head bashed on the stone ramp, I looked away but I could feel him dying as he tried to move getting out of the genjutsu as he got in close and kicked him again, that time he was just gone.

My guy has strength.

Before he turned to blue with me, we got him on defense as I pulled out my whip, I hit both of the backs of his ankles before I smacked his ass drawing blood as he grabbed at and yelped, my friend tried to not use chakra and mostly just stayed on taijutsu as it hurts when he does.

I went to wrap him up when I finally saw some teamwork and the other man ran in and blocked me from him.

He kicked out my legs making me jump backwards as I turned my water whip into two fists on my hands, I was mid flip my wolves came in from two sides headed straight at them as I landed on my feet I ducked from a second kick and slashed out but he poofed away and turned into a log as all teeth and water dug into it.

Blue used the opening and jumped away making us stand back to back as the wolves circled and stood in front of us, I stared at blue as we made a straight line and the scientist was facing my man.

"Be wary of poison." I whispered he made a noise to know he heard me.

I felt my friend form some chakra and did hand signs as he started to pull and shoot small balls of dirt at him making the guy dodge as my male wolf helped to keep him in range of the rocks. The unclean feeling moving more and more into his body.

I was about to say stop when I saw blue do mad hand signs fast and I felt him mold a lot of chakra so I quickly did puppy love on him, just to break it up and make him need to do it all again, I did not expect him to stay under.

The scientist came at my guy with a sharp sword and I heard my wolf say poison again.

The world slowed down making me quickly spin as I shoved him behind me with a push from my arm and went to block the sword from him, I slid down in the same second as it actually blocked and I scissor kicked his legs out as he slid into a split the sword getting near my head and I log traded from a few feet away as he landed in the splits and my man kicked him in the head making him fly to the side.

My wolves went after him from opposite directions as he tried to move and get a hold of himself easy swinging the sword around him to hold off the wolves.

"How dare you go after my love." Blue man yelled as he ran at his comrade making both of us stare shocked. "She is a goddess in the hot springs." I never knew that genjutsu would do something like that. I actually slightly laughed as I took advantage of a momentary ally, tugging on my mans shirt we ran in and got close, the three of us and my wolves took him out as blue set him on fire and got the last blow.

Me and my man jumped back ready for the genjutsu to end as he looked at me. "You are my everything Ava." He swooned before it dropped.

He stared shocked before he did the massive hand signs again and molded the large amount of chakra.

It came out of his mouth like a small water wave but as it burned up the grass and moved low and quickly we ran, my wolves got pulled up in it and poofed away, I hoped it was because they are okay and did not want to get caught up in the acid.

We moved as fast as we could but it burned the back of my ankles before I boosted speed and cringed at the mad pain and we headed to the treeline.

Even when we got out of range we just continued to run, he just stood there and did not follow and we made our way into the treeline I was glad to be in. I did not even think on the others who are wondering in the woods hurt as we just ran until we paused and leaned on a tree catching our breath.

"Thank you, you are a bad ass." I laughed out at him at him as he had his eyes closed he made a noise.

"You are something strange aren't you?" He asked finally, I did not want to tell a stranger much I just smiled. My ankles hurt so bad as I looked at them, mostly looking like a really bad burn as it only slightly touched me.

We just started to walk off while limping, just to keep moving. I have no sense of direction and don't have a clue where we are, I just hopped I was heading home when the biggest smile crossed his face. "I can't believe I made it out." He put his hand on my shoulder making me smile at him. "Thank you." I just patted him back.

It was something else to get a look at him in a good lighting, he was bone thin and wore tattered pants and the same top I had on covered in blood and massively dirty, his dark hair was unruly and getting kind of long, he was so dirty everywhere and had no shoes on. I watched him close his dark eyes just to brace some kind of pain.

He looked to be in his early thirties and looked so tired, I wrapped his arm around my shoulders and helped him walk.

"So umm." I looked at him. "What was with the hot springs?"

I laughed. "I would rather as little as possible to know." He nodded, being a real Ninja he understands not everything will be told.

I asked where he was from but he did not seem to want to tell me.

"I am a leaf ninja." I said as we walked and he paused, looking me over before looking around.

"Are we headed there?"

"I sadly don't know." I laughed out, he looked at me worried.

"I am stone." I nodded with a big smile and that confused him. "We don't exactly get along right now." I understood but that was not my war.

I just gave him a kind smile saying I don't hold onto that. "Should I be helping you away from the forest?" I asked and he leaned on a tree in thought.

"I don't know, I am not even sure if your village would spar my life."

"Wasn't the war over with a while ago?"

He looked at me confused. "Would you have not been in it?" That made me shut my mouth, I guess it was not that long ago.

There was a noise and our faces both covered in shock as we turned to my left and standing there was mr freeze, he blankly stared at my friend before he stared at me, he is so good at being sneaky, he is almost invisible.

I got ready to fight and stared back at him, he did not show an emotion or speak before he just turned and jumped away.

"Huh?" His deep voice sounded so shocked, I made an agreement noise.

"He really just does not care." I joked as I relaxed again as he seemed to not come back. I looked at him with a smile. "Let's get a little lost and then set up for the night and figure out what to do tomorrow?"

We moved fast for us, so we were still slow when I noticed water nearby, feeling safer near water as inside it I am boosted we headed that way, even if he did not know my reason for it.

We stood there and stared at it so glad to see water, I walked up. "Think its drinkable without boiling it?" I asked and looked his way but he was already sipping it from his hands making him look at me confused.

They don't know about that here I guess, that you need to always boil it.

I just joined him as I needed to drink something, I could feel it through my dehydrated body and it was amazing as I smiled before I walked into the semi warm water just to get slightly cleaner, he joined me we floated around as we rubbed our hair and arms just to get what we could off. The back of my hair was matted with blood but I could only get so much out.

I slowly moved to an area and just sat there waist deep in water and looked at the sun set. My stomach growled and it made me notice how hungry I was but I don't know how to hunt, make a fire without a lighter and don't trust berries in this world now so I just tried to ignore it.

"How long?" I asked without looking at him.

"I don't know, many meals I lost count." I nodded. "Months" I gave him a sad smile.

He grabbed his neck and shut his eyes in pain making me move next to him and looked at it, It was not like Anko's. I never saw hers spread even a little. I just patted his shoulder with no way to help, I know my village could help but I wont say that or even offer as I am sure they don't deal with ninja's from other villages unless it was the chunin exams.

"So glad I got out before they did that to me." I said quietly and he looked kindly.

"So glad you showed up." He smiled. "I want to ask how but you wont answer." I nodded with a smile when I finally thought on the hurt.

"I wonder where the others are, hope they are okay." I looked behind us.

He nodded. "They were not in the best shape."

I stood up finally when the sun was down and lied down in the soft grass and waited for the stars to be seen, he eventually lied next to me with a big space, not trying to cross a line.

"Oh." I looked at him with a smile. "What is your name?"

He gave a small chuckle. "Rio Namazu." He smiled. "Nice to meat you, Ava?" He pointed and I smiled with a nod. "What a strange name." He mumbled as we watched the stars, I just laughed.

I closed my eyes and just lied there as I half slept like I have been doing for days, trying hard to not be fully asleep just in case, sometimes a cat nap can make me feel better.

The back of my ankles hurt so bad like a really bad burn making me cringe from time to time.

"I want to help you get home." I said quietly.

He gave a small noise "I can see my wife and kid again, I thought..." He was quiet for a second but I understood.

"I did not know you had family."

He smiled at me as I faced him. "The best."

We both seemed to rest in the same way as we lied there all night, the only sounds were that of animals, not one ninja came by and I was so glad they did not chase us down but the scientists were done for, the other two now don't have boss's and mr freeze seemed to not give to shits about anything even that whole operation.

Wonder what kept him there in the first place.

I heard a howl making my eyes snap open and sit up with a smile but it did not come back, I looked around before I moved to the closest tree and climbed up as high as I could, Looking around I saw nothing but trees in every direction, being up high the moon was very bright tonight but I was completely lost.

I just dropped down, grabbing branches to slow me before I landed on the ground and walked back standing in the lake to help the burning of my ankles.

I heard noise and looked back at him.

He was moaning and rolling in his sleep like he was in massive pain. Moving next to him on my knees I watched him carefully as the darkness moved around his neck, I touched it and rubbed his chest. "Are you okay?" As I tried to kindly wake him but he just calmed down and stayed asleep as I wished for Anko, she could help.

I sat next to him and wrapped my arms around my legs and watched the sky, I few shooting stars fell down making me feel safe and okay.

I was to tired and hungry to do any training or work outs, wishing for a nearby town but then I noticed I have no money.

I lied back down and just stayed there until I felt the forest wake up.

Watching the sun rise as the birds started to yell he finally sat up, he slept a while but still did not look like he had a good sleep but he gave me that look as well seeing as I also did not have a good sleep.

We sat quietly for around ten minutes before he stood up. "I think we should go." I nodded and stood up dusting my ass off, we need to find out where we are and then move from there, we both were not good to run so we just walked keeping an eye out for anything to eat.

He stopped moving and looked startled making me mindlessly boost my senses and looked around.

"I don't see any chakra." He gave me a look like he finally understood something about me.

We were on edge and paused when I heard a howl, there was nothing and we started to move again hoping to run across a road.

Feeling like we walked forever I leaned on a tree and yawned, he stopped and leaned on one also as we sat there quietly for a break when I felt chakra on my sense headed right to us, he moved fast and got ready to fight but I moved next to him and put my hand on his shoulder.

"The universe is giving us a gift."

A small dog with a leaf symbol landed on a tree branch above us before it poofed away and right behind him was Anko. She saw me and jumped down pulling me into a hug. "Ava!"

"So you guys did notice I was gone." I joked at her.

"Bitch." She let me go and looked me over my mess of a body. "What happened?"

I smiled. "I was taken to be tested on for a curse seal." And pointed at his neck, she first pulled my head roughly to her and checked out both sides of my neck before letting go and calming down.

"She." He winced. "Got all of us out." That made her stare at me shocked as her eyes scanned his neck before back to me.

"So you seem shocked she did that." He asked with a question in his tone.

"Ya this weakling." She smirked at me as I giggled, I looked at him. "I just got lucky." As I rubbed the back of my head.

"Are you kidding me." He almost seemed mad at her. "She was amazing." He had my back and stood up for me and that was so nice.

That made Anko smirk at him with a dark look in her eye. "Really?" It sounded more like a threat before she looked me over. "So glad I found you." She grabbed me in a hug again. "Mrs amazing." as she winked at him as we all relaxed and the strange tense between them faded.

"We found your scroll and hitai ate in the middle of the training grounds, Kuro said you felt something and we knew you were abducted."

I stepped back with confusion all over my face as they both looked weird at my reaction. "Mr freeze left my stuff behind to get found?"

At the same time they asked. "Mr, freeze?"

I laughed. "It is what I called him."

He looked at me curious. "He did let us just go and walked away."

"I wonder why." I smiled at him. "Maybe it was more then just not caring about anything." I mumbled.

"Might have been forced as his kaki genki was perfect for that place." I nodded as I looked into the forest.

He winced and grabbed his neck as he sat down looking dizzy, Anko squatted in from of him and looked at his neck. "It is not completed." She said strangely kindly. "Where you from?" She asked a little to threatening but he gave me a once over and told her.

She seemed to stare at him in thought before she looked at me, my eyes screaming help him please, she gave me a look back saying she was unsure if she could.

When I remembered. "There is others somewhere in the forest." I said and she looked at me confused. "They ran ahead."

"You did not follow?"

I shook my head. "We just tried to get lost." He mumbled using my words. "There was two still alive." He seemed serious. "But they were the ones who kidnapped and dealt with the prisoners, the main men were taken out." He spoke like a ninja.

I saw the seal flash strangely and he made a small noise and closed his eyes as we both bent down before he yelled and passed out, she looked at him worried before she seemed to decide something as she made me help her get him on her back and we started to run, fast, I did my best to not let my ankles hold me back.

I winced every jump but there was nothing I could do about it as we headed in a direction we were not taking before. When I felt Kakashi on my sense making me smile as he jumped and landed next to us as he ran beside, he gave me a smile and smiled back and before the dog vanished I told him there was people lost in the woods and hurt.

He gave it a nod as the dog turned away and ran off.

He noticed my face and in a split second I was on his back and we started to move faster, It was nice to be on his back again as I tightly wrapped my arms around him hoping I don't smell as bad as the others.

It was like all the worry left me and I finally fully fell asleep unintentionally.

I opened my eyes and saw Kakashi holding up my friend and a nurse in my room as she ran her hands over me, I shut them and feeling like no time passed I opened them again and Kuro was sitting on my bed and no one else was around.

I blinked again and Rio was in the bed next to me as Kakashi sat on one across, my body slept for a while but it was really needed.

My body felt so much better as I sat up and locked eyes with Kakashi who was holding the green book in front of his face. "There she is."

I nodded with a small smile, Looking at Rio's chakra as he was passed out it was healthier the darkness was mostly gone. "His chakra look's better."

He nodded. "We sealed his seal."

"Thanks, I said I would get him home." I looked at him with a smile. "You here to watch him?" He nodded again before his eyes moved back to the book. I kicked my legs over the side. "So I probably have to tell someone what happened?"

"The Hokage will come when she can, your friend explained somethings before we sealed him and has been asleep since then."

I stood up on shaky legs and felt sick but I had a goal. "Since you need to stay, I am gonna run off and get food, want something?" He looked at me worried. "I will be back, I have not had anything to eat in way to long." He gave me a sad look and nodded and looked back at his book as I jumped out the window in my hospital garb and headed to the closest place.

I ordered so much when I walked back into my room my hands were overfilled in bags carrying tons of takeout boxes, I dropped them on my bed with a smile as I sat on my pillow cross legged and started to pull out and open everything making Kakashi giggle at the amount. "I could not decide." I chugged an orange juice and the feeling spread through me like my body was finally behind hydrated, it felt wonderful, before I opened a second and just sipped that one.

I was grabbing food from random boxes and downing it like a slob and moaning as he walked over and grabbed whatever as I focused on my food. "Slow down."

I stuffed a piece of chicken in with a ball of dango and shook my head with my mouth full. "No." I smiled up at him and he just looked at me kindly.

He leaned on the wall and read his book slowly snacking, I started to feel so much better.

I stretched with the biggest smile and waddled to the bathroom, I fixed my hair as much as I could before I went to use it. Feeling so glad to sit on an actual toilet, I did not appreciate this so much before as I sat there with a smile and my eyes closed when I felt Tsuande and Shizune show up.

I opened the door as she yelled. "She did what?" So loudly and almost sounded mad as they stared at me.

"Sorry folks, wrong room." I shut the door slowly as I stared at them, why was she mad?

"Ava." She sighed and I opened the door while peeking out afraid she was going to hit me, Looking over my friend was awoke by the screaming as I smiled at him and he smiled, glad to see me in a place he did not feel safe. Now that we were both awake and she was here we tried to answer all her questions. Everyone either looked at me funny or laughed when It was brought up I puppy loved the one guy and he fought with us.

By the end the lady's looked at me impressed before she asked where in the general direction this place was but we were not sure, I gave a look to Kakashi who was blankly listening but reading.

He gave a direction where his dog found us and she said she will send some Anbu to check it out but they have not found the others yet, we were not out for to long.

Once they left I pulled my friend over to eat as I still had over half left, because he was from a different main village he was not allowed to leave this room and Kakashi was to watch us until he leaves.

He ate this food with more excitement then I did and I tossed him an orange juice that was on the floor, I had a few down there. He did give worried glances to Kakashi who noticed a few of them and just calmly went back to reading, I asked him what's up with my eyes. "I know who he is is all." Making Kakashi look at him with a fake smile but slightly intimidating.

A completely covered ninja landed next to Kakashi, whispered in his ear and vanished and he went back to reading as I stared wondering what was going on.

"Really?" I laughed out making Rio look at him.

"They found them and they are now being checked out."

"The others?" I asked and he gave a small nod not leaving his book.

Rio seemed to relax as he has been so tense here so far and he gave me a look like 'I can't believe how kind they have been to him'.

Even if he did not look our way Kakashi spit out. "It is only because of Ava." He sounded so blank, it made him tense again but he gave me a thankful smile as he continued to eat.

The sun was setting but we were both still wide awake as we just sat on my bed, having food being healed and no seal he was no longer hurt and weak and that made me happy.

Having so much more energy he talked a lot more, he had a bit of what I would call 'proper' to his tone. We told a lot to Tsunade but he told the funny story of when I knocked out one guy and then the other was looking at me creepy and I said I would cut off his junk if he got near me, Kakashi's eye landed on me with a small amount of amusement.

That was when he looked at Kakashi, feeling more comfortable around him but he was still tense inside. "Speaking of that, do you know what hot spring means?"

"Hey." I said he just smiled but Kakashi looked at him blankly.

"He called her that and she wont tell me." He stared at me before he smile and shrugged his shoulders.

I just gave a small thank you smile.

We just hung out all night, at one point, I found out Kuro and a few others I slightly knew went looking for me, Kakashi's dogs taking the forefront and I felt so loved.

The fact he was healthier and happy he started to tell me about his family and how he can't wait to see them again, before he thanked me again and called me 'Ava: the dragonfly' making Kakashi stare at him blankly again.

Come morning Tsunade came back, he was back on his bed but all three of us were still up at the sun rise.

We got information on the others: The strongest female, a decent ninja from a small town was mostly okay, the boy she was with and the man from the left side of me were in bad shape but should be fine. The women on my right however did not make it and the last one was critical as she also had a bad version of the seal.

She checked us over and said the man can leave now, it was more of an order.

He had nothing but the clothes on his back as we moved to the gate down the roads so he does not get a real look at the village from a higher vantage point. We walked him to the gate and he turned and hugged me, he was so bony it almost hurt but I hugged his bony ass back. "Thank you, I wont forget you."

We watched him run off alone, he knew the way and I could see excitement in him to go home and see his family, I felt a few flashes and I think the Anbu will watch him, making me give Kakashi a look. "They wont hurt him." I nodded trusting him.

Now that he was gone I headed home as I patted Kakashi, stopping for a coffee first but I was still kind of a dirty mess she looked at me worried, I just smiled and payed her and moved back to my place.

I saw my scroll and stuff on my table as I touched my pouch, it has turned into a security blanket type situation I felt wrong without it. Downing my drink I stripped as I walked into my bathroom and hopped in the shower. I just cleaned myself with shampoo before I just stood in the stream.

When I was sure I was as clean as I could be I just sat down and wrapped my arms around my legs and enjoyed the shower with a smile on my face.

I was in the best mood.

I guess there is still a lot of bad blood between hidden villages I never really knew about. I am again glad I landed in the leaf.

I had to turn down the cold when the hot temperature lowered and leaned back, I was just sitting here for a long while.

Kuro was in my home but I did not want to get out as the water cascaded around me. "I am enjoying this." I yelled.

"Well you could have shut the door." I laughed as I forgot but the shower curtain blocked us and that was enough for now.

"I am impressed, I heard about most of it." He spoke as it seems like he was leaning on the door frame.

"If it was not for that guy I would be dead."

"If not for you the rest would be too." I just smiled, it felt nice to help someone and not feel useless.

"We were a good team." I said quietly.

Suddenly Kakashi was next to him as he stood next to Kuro.

They paused for a moment and he seemed to lean on the other side of the door frame making me drop my head.

"I think you just joined the ranks of being known." He spoke his voice sounding weirdly hot, I don't know how that was so important to say as I felt a little awkward, my arms around my legs as I was hidden behind the gray shower curtain.

"Do you think we could talk when I am not in the shower guys." I laughed out, I heard a noise but none of us moved making me smirk and shake my head with love but they could not see.

Hayashi was suddenly in my window making me sigh and he moved next to the others. "There you are Ava!"

"Yes come in, lets have a chat in my bathroom right this second."

No one said a word but no one moved.

"What did you mean Kakashi?" I asked.

"Ava, the dragonfly, he gave you a nickname."

"He wont hurt me."

"But his village might." That made me sad as I stood up and turned off the water.

I peeked out as they stared at me. "You think?" I nodded at my big blue towel and Kuro grabbed it handing it to me.

"Did you tell him who you were?" I peeked out again and shook my head as I dried myself behind it. "Good, but he may figure it out later." I Pulled the curtain as Hayashi turned away, Kuro looked me over but my towel was very big and sat like a dress making me sigh at him before they got out of my way and I moved into my bedroom.

"What so then what now?" I asked through my door.

"I don't know, nothing really." Kakashi spoke.

"People wont come after me right? I am still incredibly weak." I got dressed and wrapped my hair in towel and opened the door. "Man it feels nice to be clean."

"He seemed very taken by you." Kuro spoke with a smirk.

"He has a wife and a kid." I smirked back.

"Oh."

Hayashi pulled me into a hug before I walked to my table and put on my stuff. "Can't believe you broke out of a test center."

I laughed. "I just was lucky I am broken and sometimes things don't work the way they should on me."

Then a shock to me Kuro pulled me into a hug, I hugged him back also as Hayashi made a noise and said. "Aw." making Kuro glare at him and let me go.

"I woke up and she was gone, I found your stuff and remembered what you said." I looked at him with love making him smirk back.

"Thank you for noticing." Before my gaze landed on Kakashi who also spent a few days looking for me, with a thanks, he just gave me a real smile.

Kuro is bad with real emotion so he just told me 'to go fuck myself' and I said, 'your so dumb please don't breed' back with a smirk.

Making Kakashi look between us shocked, Hayashi put his hand behind his head. "They just say that sometimes." Kakashi asked what we said and Hayashi looked interested but he never really asked.

So Kuro told them, shocking Hayashi that it was so mean and Kakashi laughed at the later before they all turned away.

"Really?" Making them pause. "Now that I am not naked you leave?"

"Of course." Kakashi joked before he jumped out my window, making me laugh.

Kuro smirked at me. "You guys want to eat something?" I asked.

"I have a mission." Kuro spoke before he gave me one of his rare smiles and jumped out the window.

"Last guy standing, you in?"

He nodded. "But I want details."

I smiled with a nod. "Okay."
