I watched as the wind and the sounds of the waves were all we could hear as the small shadow moved farther from the shore, the men ran around panicked trying to get us to go faster and the ones who can't do anything hid down below with the Lord.

All we need to do is get away and keep the boat above the water.

I hope it is not Rio, I don't want to be his enemy.

I felt Kuranei mold chakra as I peered her way when she covered the boat in a genjutsu, I could feel it all over my skin as she made a shimmering clone of the boat, while making sure we were harder to be seen.

I was impressed.

Anko then started to mold her own before she but her thumb and slammed her hand down. A big ass snake fell fromt he sky and landed into the water as I watched it swim away towards them and get lost in the dark waves.

Everyone is so strong, why do they put up with me.

It was not long until I heard the screams come across the water as they tried to fight the snake but something came at us in the water when it surfaced and a water dragon hit the side of the boat as it knocked me off my perch and shook the ship as it took on water.

I flipped in the air landing on my feet, the dragon turned back into nothing and the boat was mostly unhurt it only broke a bit of the railing.

We watched as a second ship started to move around the main one who was slowed and busy fighting the snake, its shadow blocking the moons reflection.

What one is Rio?

It moved at a much faster pace and will catch up to us eventually, with a need to make this fight fast, a real ninja battle would take down all our boats and I am assuming this is the only one that has civilians. I pulled chakra into my body to be in sage mode before I quickly did the hand signs for the mist jutsu. It spread far as it moved to block everything from view, without the moon it was so dark on our ship as we listened to the world around us.

Anko quietly spoke to the men to head less north and more west into the wind as I watched Kurenai do some more clones lost in the mist, will be hard for them to see where we are as we shifted direction and started to speed up. This will take us longer to hit land but that is not important.

A strange chakra was in the air as I moved to the back edge of the boat where I could feel them on the edge of my sense, "they are coming in really fast" feeling it was more in the air mixed with Kurenai I am assuming it is with a jutsu. Jumping on the rail I shot out a giant wave towards them pushing the boat out of chakra view.

The girls standing behind me before I squatted curious and did some hand signs before I froze the water behind us, I can't see how big or deep it went but I hope it was enough to slow down or even maim the ship before I jumped backwards next to the girls.

We stood back to back as they stayed out of my view when Anko made a noise, her snake disappeared and the second boat will also be heading our way.

We waited when the quick boat was coming at us from a completely different angle, almost straight from the north, I nudged and pointed but then a big crash noise was heard through the silence as the slower boat hit my ice, it sounded slightly like a car accident before yelling and I was still unsure who's boat was who's but I was ecstatic someone hit the ice.

Leaving them to deal on deck I jumped over the side and landed on the ocean, the waves were huge as I ran across them hidden in the mist and headed to the fast boat. I got closer and could feel the strange chakra on the air, there was four on the boat, one at the back molding chakra as I stood on the waves next to the boat.

The other three up front, Rio was not here. I jumped up more in the middle of the ship as they talked to each other and one was I guess about to send another water dragon, they did not notice me as I moved down under the ship, letting the girls deal with that.

Moving into the first room I made a sharp cone like water as I shoved it into the wall before making it bigger and pulled it out as water started to poor into the room, I moved room to room doing that over and over that the water was up to calves as I ran back up to deck and jumped overboard, two were missing.

I ran across the waves and caught up to them easy as I ran up behind them, still not noticing me as I mind fucked one as his friend ran on, it was easy to lose someone in here once they get to far away from the others, I wrapped my whip around him when his friend stopped and turned around from up ahead making me swing him in his direction as he bashed into the other, the other flying on his ass and I heard him fall through the surface into the ocean as I pulled him to me cutting him deep in the side.

I let him go and ran back to the boat before they come to really fight me, I wont stand a chance now they know im here.

Landing next to my girls I took a defensive stance by the look of the back side of the ship they had a bit of a long range fight.

The one I did not hurt was headed to our boat from the side, I am sure trying to be stealthy as I ran his way and kicked him in the side before he even hit the deck, flying back into the ocean, it is amazing being in mist.

Kurenai made a fake giant whirlpool between our boats, I could feel the one in the ocean could see it as he ran his way around it back to his ship to I assume warn them, we started to move from it as the edge of it disappeared into the darkness but the ship shifted direction making me smile, when a massive wind came out of nowhere, knocking the boat at it splashed dangerously and we took on more water.

But we moved farther away and all trace of chakra left the air, the fact the wind man stopped and the ship sinking slowly we now have the speed.

I was glad for that fact when sage mode dropped and I did, stumbling as I fell on my knees, the mist starting to slowly fade as I pulled my shaky body up with the railing, the moons light coming through, I saw it coming at us in the water as it moved so fast, another stupid water dragon.

I jumped back in a shaky stance, there was not stopping it this time as it bashed into the side, breaking more of the boat and knocking us around again, a piece of wood landing into my sluggish arm as my hand moved around it holding it as it sat in me, when a ball of something flew into the air, the dragon had pulled it along.

It exploded into the air as many shuriken came at us covered in paper bombs, without thinking I did what Iruka taught me as I made the shield big, holding it straight above my head, I blocked most of the weapons when one knocked me over and I dropped my water so I would not hurt myself as two bombs landed not far from me.

They blew up the deck and myself as I fell to the area below me, feeling the burn on my body as my head hit the wooden floor and I bashed my head, I tried to move but from sage mode and the bomb I was so weak and just passed out hearing Kurenai call my name.

I dreamed about that fucker who drugged me, all the things he did before that night, the stuff that bugged me but I had no courage to say, and then that night replayed in my mind, he moved to take off my pants and I sat up in bed, breathing heavy covered in sweat.

I looked around the swaying room in fear, for a second I could not remember where I was when my mind started to fill in the blanks and I grabbed my head as the boat rocked and pulled up my legs before I leaned over the left side of the bed and barfed.

It took another minute to get a hold of myself, I now remember so much more as I tried to breath in the dark room.

I like to think everything is fine, I spent a few years, depressed, filled with anxiety, looking at men like they are all horrible and I felt like I was nothing. Ptsd showed up announced and I noticed there was nothing I could do about it, so I tried to move out of my dark thoughts and worry's and tried to change my thought path, the world started to get a little bit brighter once you push away the stuff you cant do anything about.

The problem with that is I never really got over any of it, I just forget it.

I was glad to see the door was on the other side from my barf as I kicked my legs over the side and stood up, the boat slowly rocking, feeling safe with it and moved out of the room.

The light from the end of the hallway was shinning I noticed my right arm was patched up as my legs were also, I watched the chakra's mindlessly as I walked up the stairs.

Anko was yelling at some guy on how to cook eggs making me finally smile as I looked around, there was a small hole in the middle of the deck where the bombs hit, but the boat was moving and the people were awake so I was glad it all worked out fine. She smiled at me and pored me a coffee I gave a small smile back as I was still in a bad mood.

To drained to talk I moved away from all the people and sat on the roof, watching the ocean with my coffee just trying to find some peace.

Kurenai moved next to me, she could tell something was off. She did not speak just sat next to me, I felt the chakra of the Lord moving towards where Anko was and I glared at his chakra from here, it was his fault I dreamed about him.

She looked at my glare sadly making me wish for Kakashi and that shocked me, he is my go to? Well he did help me last time, made me laugh and smile.

I have not seen him in a while.

I looked at her sadly as she stared at my face with worry, she is so caring "bad dream" I said silently and she nodded, I lit a smoke and sat there the wind was nice and the salty air calmed me.

"You smoke the same as Asuma" she sounded interested making me give a small smile.

"Ya when I got here he gave me my first smoke in this place and I really liked it" I looked out to the ocean "You got a good man there Kurenai, hold on to him" I said sadly and she smiled and nodded.

"Ya, I do" she smiled as her eyes glazed making me feel better.

I was back in my cool clothes as we walked behind the caravan, that dress was a bitch in this heat and with my real shoes on my smile would not leave my face as I chatted with the three girls. We were on alert but we seemed to have left our enemy's in the water. We were far from shore during the fight but not to far that groups of ninja's could head back to safely, I am sure they are all fine.

I am glad we did not personally fight Rio.

I hope when I see you again it will be on good terms.

This was again a long way as all escorts all, just day's of walking however with a rich asshole we got to stay in some of the more finer inn's in the land of fire.

Anko walked up to me and pulled on my black cardigan as she pulled it off me with ease making look at her startled, she held it out to me "it is ripped and has some blood on it"

I took it from her as we walked slowly "really and now you notice" I held it in front of me and she was right but it was black so hard to see the blood "I guess I did hurt that guy" I mumbled.

I noticed Krie was staring at me as she squinted her eyes "no wonder you did not like the dress" her eye's going up and down.

I sighed as I put it back on "I know I dress a little skanky" Anko made a agreement noise "but do you know how hot it is here, at least this covers me some"

"I like it" Krie spoke up as she fondled my belts, before her hand flung around my leaf on my belly making me slightly giggle.

"I really like you" I smiled at her.

We made our way passed a breathtaking view of a big lake, what got me was all the deer that ran around it before the disappeared into the forest when they spotted us, with anyone else we would have made camp there for the night but because we were watching him we are headed to the nearest town and may be walking for a bit in the dark.

We came to a town I have seen before and got again the rich rooms on the top three story home, I just flopped on one of the beds in our room and stretched with a yawn as Anko came over and Lied next to me perpendicular her head on my chest as her legs fall over the side I just started to rub her hair.

"You guy's are so close" Krie said as she took the bed next to us, she stared at us with love and wistfulness in her eye's "I only have men working with me"

"That does not sound bad" Anko joked.

"Aw why is that?" kurenai asked sitting in a chair.

Krie looked sad "they all want his money, when he hires a female, he tries to date that female and then they are just gone" Anko jumped up and sat next to her wrapping her arm around her as Krie looked at her in a strange way, I wonder if she likes girls? By the way she is looking at Anko I am a little curious but I don't know how much gay is accepted in this world, I have been called a lez by Kuro but I have never met one here yet, even if the boy's seemed to not even care.

I wonder who I can ask about that? Might just be their world, I mean they hide relationships so why would they talk about gay ones, unless they are a kid with love in there eye's.

Sometimes this world can be refreshing actually, I don't need to explain myself at why I dated so little. I would be asked, why after a year and a half do you not have anyone from this world.

I woke up with a need to pee in the middle of the night as I shuffled quietly to the bathroom, I sat on the toilet even after I was done just to tired when I saw a low chakra person moving around the inn, he moved up the stairs to the second floor and just slowly shuffled down the hallway pausing a lot. I pulled up my pants as I watched him with my eye's closed, this person was shady.

Completely curious as he was headed back to the stairs I snuck out the door and hid down the way's a little as he came up the stairs on the far side, I was nicely in some shadow, he moved around as he pressed his ear's to the doors before moving on, it was a very young boy. He paused at the one the asshole was in and pressed his ear to the door and shut his eyes, we were pretty close now.

He did not smell good and was very dirty, he stood up straight with a smile and pulled a piece of thin metal from his pocket, I leaned on the wall and crossed my arms as he moved to unlock it "you steal something from him and I doubt I am getting paid" that made the kid jump up alarmed and spin my way "calm down kid" I walked towards him, "what Hungry?"

He sneered at me with attitude "what's it matter to you, Ninja" He acted cool but he was scared of me, so I pulled out my wallet.

"I can give you some because if you don't steal from him I will get more" I held out a few coins into the air he just stared at me making me shake my hand before he slowly took it.

"You are not going to hurt me?"

That made my heart break and I shook my head, he just ran away and all I could do was stand there for a moment, a lot of normal people seem to hate me when I catch them doing something wrong, it is sad.

I leaned on my rooms door and just stayed there as I watched his chakra leave the building, he must have seen the fancy caravan and thought, rich. Gotta say he had some skill's if I was not peeing he would have gotten away with it, I turned the door nob and went back inside.

The next day was fun with the girl's, me and Anko said a few things that made some of the men turn around a couple times, we are not the most proper like women someday's, we came to his home around the late evening, we said our goodbye's to Krie who seemed sad at us leaving and we headed out of the village.

We overheard a rumor about a bearded leaf ninja being hurt.

Kurenai froze and stared at us scared "what do you mean?" she moved towards them.

They looked at her and saw her symbol "he was in bad shape being brought back to the hidden village, he may not make it" she started to move and we followed as we ran fast headed home.

She was on a one track mind as Anko and I ran behind her, I looked her way "why is it called a hidden village when everyone knows about it?" she looked at me me before out straight.

"I don't know" she slightly squinted "it means ninja's but you have a point"

We ran through the night non stop but I don't blame her, I was pretty worried myself.

I was yawning but we ran and none of us wondered if we should stop, one night is not so bad to not sleep.

It was a little before noon we came to the big gate's, kurenai ran in fast to the boy's watching the gate slammed her hands down as "Where is Asuma" she moved back and her head moved to the direction of the hospital almost looking like she could cry.

"He is at home" a familiar voice spoke up and we turned to see Shika and Choji just standing together, the black haired boy could see her worry "he is fine" she seemed like she finally took a breath and her shoulder's dropped as she rubbed her hair.

"Oh thank goodness" before she looked at us like she just made us do something we did not wanna do for no point but we both gave her a smile, we did not care.

We headed to the Hokage tower to get our money and shit.

I was yawing as I walked out of a small store that held picture frames, a second picture to put on my dresser before I moved to go grocery shopping, I know I have nothing at home and man I could eat and then sleep.

I almost walked inside when hand was placed on my shoulder, I can't see people incoming when they are everywhere so I was startled slightly. Scanning a cute women younger then me in a chunin vest. "Ava? Right?" she pointed at me and I nodded "follow me" she ran off, I gave a sad glance to food and chased after her as she took me back to the hokage tower.

Tsunade waved her away and asked me to shut the doors, I nodded.

"Princess Koyuki just sent this" I looked startled as I moved closer and grabbed a few small scrolls from her, I looked at her with a question and she nodded as I opened one up, there I started to read what was written in English before I looked back at her so startled "read it and then let me know what they say" I nodded as I sat down on the floor.

"Not here Ava" I gave a small smile and stood back up.

"Home?"

"No use the room below like last time, if you can I would like it to be translated" I nodded and walked out the room.

The spelling was not perfect as I read, some words were so wrong I could not tell what they were supposed to mean.

The first one talked about something with resonating trees, that made no sense to me but I translated it as much as I could, the second was about metal objects that move, I assume cars because there was a crappy diagram of a truck, below it was a battery, but these are things I assumed already came from my world.

The last one interested me the most, There was more math, the letters A,B,C,D circled a few times, a small picture of some dot's as I stared at them unsure what they meant, I just looked at them a while trying to figure it out but it meant nothing to me.

The translation took some time because I did not understand some words and what things meant that I wrote it all down so I don't need to explain over and over and I was feeling so tired by the time I was done.

I made a small second of the dot's just for me, maybe sometime I will understand someday.

I had to wait a bit outside the Hokage's door as I leaned on the wall with the scrolls and my translated scroll in my hands, I shut my eye's wishing to sleep, the sun will set soon and I still need to go shopping but I was not alone for long when a young man with a vest moved next to me and leaned on the wall on the other side of the small table, My eyes were closed but I could feel him look at me.

I peered at him as he looked down at my hand before he looked at the door and I shut my eye's again.

"You are to trusted" he snidely spoke quietly making me stare at him shocked, no one has been mean to me in a long time "shocked? You are dangerous and should be taken out, how do we not know what you will do" I just sighed and shut my eyes again, I don't feel like defending myself, I don't care what he thinks.

My eye's only opened when the door did and a team walked out, I stood up to go in when he slid in front of me and slammed the door while looking at me with a smirk, I sighed again slightly annoyed and leaned back on the wall.

Eventually I handed my stuff over and finally made my way to the store, so hungry.

I walked sluggishly through the grocery store carrying two baskets filled when I noticed Kurenai and Asuma moving around the back as I walked over and peered at them "you know you act like that people can tell" I yawned from behind them "you two suck at hiding it" I shook my head as they faced me, I could tell how happy they were to be next to each other.

I looked into her basket as they held their own "Right I need teeth paper"

"Teeth paper?" Asuma smiled behind his consent smoke.

"Huh?"

"You said teeth paper" Kurenai laughed out.

"Right, ya toilet paste" I spoke slightly out of it, this time they both laughed.

"You okay?" she asked.

"I don't have the energy for this" I yawned making them look concerned but amused.

"For what?" He asked.

I just gestured to the area around me with a yawn before I gave a small smile "I need to go" I waved as they said there goodbyes. Grabbing some more food and tooth paste on my way out and jumped into my home and just got ready to sleep, I was to tired to care about food when I noticed I forgot toilet paper.

Needing some with a sigh I moved fast, walking out with a big ass bag of toilet paper I felt like I was being watched making me look around quickly, down the road I saw a ball of spiky brown hair as some man was peering around a pole staring at me, most of his body hidden and just his eyes wearing the leaf protector on his head, I think it was the same guy from the hallway, I looked at him confused before he vanished.

"Strange"

I was feeling indifferent as a walked through the early morning village, hands in my pockets.

I did not sleep well again, pausing to look up as some random Anbu moved over my head, It is a few hours before sunrise as my eyes landed on the heads before I turned and walked slowly to the cliff side.

Standing at the bottom I pulled my hands out before I did a few jumps and just ran up the side with speed, jumping over the nose and onto the seconds hair before spinning and sitting on my ass, a good spot in the darkness and best place for the sunrise.

The air was wonderful up here as I stared at the slightly cloudy sky and just took all the stars in, a feeling nagging inside it felt more like I was missing something I just shook my head with a sigh and leaned on my back with my hands behind my head and kicked out my legs as the right one slightly fell over the side.

I just stared at the stars trying to figure out what was bugging me about them tonight, why do I need to be so dumb?

I heard a loud noise making sit up straight and boost my hearing as I looked down on the sleeping town, I saw a fast movement jumping across the roofs heading my way, this shadow moved closer as a few chased him.

He started to move up the cliff side as I jumped up and moved to block his path. He looked up and saw me before pausing in shock but that gave his chasers the moment as one tackled him into the cliff side.

I just watched as they got him subdued on the side like crazy police but I recognized the chakra of mr. no name who looked up at me in his mask and nodded before he and the second one took him away.

Unsure I decided to descend and watch the area they went when kakashi landed next to me "What happened?" he asked seriously as I just shrugged before I looked over at him and a smile crossed my face, I had not seen him in so long, it had been a while before that mission and that mission was so long.

"Hey sexy" he looked at me calmly and looked the way they went "you find out, let me know" he nodded before he was gone, it was nice to see him, I missed his hot ass.

I dug in my fridge and pulled out some boneless fish and some shit to make pancake mix, all I could remember on how to make something to bread my fish as I heated up a ton of butter in a pan and tried to deep fry them the best I could.

I just stood there mindlessly not thinking as I stared at it when I needed to flip it, I made as much as I could in one pan so that I will have already made leftovers. Before I dug around in my condiments to make some kind of sauce.

He pulled me from my thoughts when Kakashi landed on my roof, A small smile appeared before he landed in my home "smells good"

My smile grew as I spun to look at him "ya, I am doing my best" I shifted the fish around and then fully faced him "What happened?"

He came towards me and looked at my fish "Someone tried to steal something confidential" I nodded, that is interesting.

The fish looked cooked enough "You came just in time" I turned off my stove and made us both a plate as used a spoon to flop a ton of my sauce on the side of his plate "I guess it was good I made to much" and I moved to the table. He sat down as he looked at the plate I made him, unsure if he does not want it or not, I can't tell, I just looked at his face scanning his face under his mask.

He picked up his fork and went to try some as I looked at my plate with a focused mind so he could, what if I looked?

My eyes started to move up and I looked at him quickly, a whole fish was gone as he chewed with his eyes closed and his mask up, I almost laughed as I put some in my mouth, unbelievable.

"That is really good" he stared at me with a happy eye but that made my mood change completely at his cuteness, I just smiled as I ate.

I looked back at my food with a frown as a flash of memory hit me and I felt numb inside again.

I felt his eye on me making me look back up as he stared at my face, I have been on a weird emotional roller coaster this last week, bad memories, fear of fighting a friend, scared someone was hurt, being looked at like an alien and now the way he was looking at me made me feel nervous and happy, I just dropped my fork and leaned back with a sigh blanking my face.

"So what have you been up to?" I asked to distract myself.

He gave a real smile "Nothing that stand's out" I smiled back with a nod his eye's landing behind me as he stood and walked, my eye's on his ass when he pulled my sword off the wall "Why not use it?"

I moved towards him leaving the dishes "well someone told me it is built bad but it reminds me of home" he nodded hanging back up to the wall outside my bedroom before he wondered into it.

I followed curious as he bent over and looked at my two pictures I just sat on the edge of my bed "You don't have a group picture?" He asked but I did not answer when he chuckled "nice hat" and then pointed at the new one "you look so different rich" as he stood back up.

"Ya makeup can do that, should see what it does in my world, you would lose your mind" he backed up and sat on the other side of the bed and faced me.

"So you miss your mother?" he asked, I frowned and nodded at the strange turn of conversation.

"Hope they are doing good, afraid if she thinks I just left her alone"

He just stared at me "ya I know what it feels like to feel abandoned, it sucks" his eye moved to my arm lost in thought, the seriousness made me feel awkward but all I could do was stare at him sadly I wanted to shift closer and hug this man and I almost did but I just stared at his masked face.

My left leg moving more onto my bed as I faced him completely "You want to know what I looked like, I kind of remember" he looked up at me interested so I did the transform justu. I changed my looks as I stood up, I wore the clothes I once owned.

I had black distressed leggings where my mid calf gray boots sat, and a white distressed over the shoulder shirt hung. My hair got slightly shorter as it was an ombre blonde and my hazel eye's as I looked up at him "There is something my mind is blocking and I feel there is a difference in something but I remembered this much" I smiled.

His eye scanned me over, up and down and up again as his eye landed on mine "what do you mean?" his eye's moved down again but I just shrugged.

"But I do know colors like your's and purple are not normal to my world, they are there but because of hair dye" he looked back up interested a small light in his eye.

"You look so weird" He stood up and walked closer as he moved around the bed, I just gave him a smirk "What is with your clothes were you poor?"

I laughed "Well, I was but this is actually a made style" he gave me a look like I was crazy as I pulled on the bottom of my shirt.

His eye landed on mine again and his face got real close as he stared at them, he was so close as I smiled "Your eye's are brown gold and slightly green"

"Ya it was the only part of me I liked"

He was so fucking close making me nervous as I kindly smiled "I like you better with purple, it is to strange to know you once looked like this" his hand pushed my hair away as he looked at my big dangley earrings but it felt nice "this is who you really are" He spoke so softly, making me nervous again.

"Ya, I am almost sure this was what I once was" he was so happy as he backed up, I think he understood what I meant as much as I do, "when I saw the body's I saw the man's hair was changing color, had he stayed alive it would have changed to pink" I grabbed my blonde hair and held it out for me to see but even this was dyed even if it was the color I have been for year's.

I looked at him with a flirty tone "So you owe me, next time you show me what you look like" he stared at me in thought, I wonder if he thought about pulling down that mask.

He gave me a real smile "I will repay one day"

He stuffed his finger in one of the small rips in my shirt and pulled carefully before he started to giggle at the stupidity of our style, I just smiled as I watched his face when he looked at mine, we stood there smiling at each other for a second when I felt the world wake up and it pulled me away, I was filled with butterflies and needed to escape this situation, I don't know what he thinks of me but I was sure I may have kissed him.

I sighed looking outside "it is morning, I am meeting with Guy soon " He turned his head and looked but his whole body faced me and nodded.

He gave a glance at me again and rubbed my blonde hair before he moved out my balcony door and vanished, I sat on the edge of the bed and watched my door before sighing and dropped my illusion, getting ready for the day.

Sticking my chakra to the slanted roof as I sat with my arms wrapped around my legs, Izumo and Kotetsu sat under me as I waited at the gate and they ate the sweet cake I brought them.

The wind was strong today making me shut my eyes as my hair blew in my face as I listened to the boys "hey that is my slice"

"I got it first" Kotetsu spoke up with a filled mouth.

"You always do this" I heard him smack Kotetsu's head making me smile when I felt his chakra move as they got into a small wrestling brawl in the booth when the rest of the cake went flying off the desk and I watched as it flew to the ground in slow motion, feeling lazy I let it fall as it flipped and splatted onto the dirt ground making them stop and lean over with a sad sound coming from both.

They were about to get into another fight when a lady and small kid passed the gate and looked around worried pulling them back into professional mode, the kid almost touched it when the lady hit him in his head and she pulled out her passport, I stopped listing as they dealt with the new person and I just watched the sky before I felt eyes on me and I looked down at the kid with a small smile, his eyes looking at me like I was a superhero.

They were there maybe two minutes before they moved into town I overheard she was coming to make a small mission but I did not care I am about to go on my own C rank and like always waiting on my watcher but I am pretty sure I know where he is but I am afraid to look for him if he is at that stone, It is something he hides well and I may as well let him have it as I enjoy the excuses.

The mission statement was not to detailed besides someone seems to be missing and something about a mountain people can't climb.

I saw his chakra as I peered down the main road, he was walking slowly, green book in hand making me smile as I watched him head our way wondering what part he was reading this time when he looked up from the book at me and gave me the cutest eye smile and a small wave, "yo" I just smiled in wait as he put his book away.

"My cat wasn't himself this morning so I stroked him for a while"

I let my chakra go as I slid down the roof and my feet hit the dirt with a nod "I know you don't have a cat but I don't mind if you need to stroke something" He stared at me blankly when I heard a gasp behind me as I spun to face them, both of them stared between us with red faces.

I just smirked at them before my eyes landing on Kakashi, his eye not leaving my face so I started to walk out of the village before I turned and walked backwards and motioned him to come, he started to follow giving the guys a nod, as small giggle from them as they watched us head down the road.

"Sorry to much?" I smiled at him he just grabbed his neck.

"I am used to it" he gave a real smile before we headed into the forest, slowly moving higher with each jump.

He glanced at me before he slightly started to go faster and faster as I was able to keep up we were flying in the forest like we were running out of time, I giggled when I used a branch to spin me higher, we moved through the place and I just had fun. I was almost next to him and I could see a small smile on his face.

We ran for hours when the light started to fade in the sky but we only slowed down a little so we could see the branches in the dark forest but it was not long until we landed on an open field where in the distance was the lights of a village, a small amount of rain was falling now that we were out from under the branches, I enjoyed it as it cooled me down slightly.

We were only slightly wet as walked through the town as he moved like he knew this place, there was only a few people on the streets when we came to a small two story inn the door was wide open as we walked in, I could feel about seven people in the building.

"We would like a room" he spoke up as he walked to the desk with his hands in his pockets and that bored look on his face, the young lady looked up from her desk as she scanned him over quickly with a nod.

"Right okay" she looked down and moved some papers around her eyes sometimes looking up at him with interest "let me see" before her eyes finally glanced at me and a sadness in her face.

"A room with two beds" I spoke up making her eyes light up again as she looked back down, I gave a small smile as he glanced my way and I shook my shoulders but she looked back up with sadness again.

"There is only two, one bed rooms left"

I was about to ask for both when an Angry old man walked in and grumbled about the darkness and rain as he pushed passed us rudely, the both of us stood there quietly when she spoke up how we were hear first "We have the main suite and it has a couch" She smiled at me making me smile back as the old man started to yell he wanted it.

He glanced back at us finally and was about to yell when you could tell he finally noticed we were ninja's making him nod and back up as she handed us the key to one room, He took it as we headed towards the stairs.

I glanced back as the man was now making a fuss to the poor women how the only remaining room was not good enough, I paused just before I was to high and made a noise making them both look my way as Kakashi continued up, The man looked at me worried before he took it with no issue.

I caught up "I can take the couch" as we moved to the door at the end of the hall, he gave a nod and unlocked the door.

We walked into a pretty big room, the one big bed sitting on the far side of the room, a couch and chair set up between us and it and a raised part to the right held a big ass tub, like a small hot tub, looking like it could fit four comfortably, Some romantic lights lit the room up as we stared at this place blankly.

"What is this a honeymoon suite?" I spoke up moving passed him into the room before looking back at him, he stared at the hot tub with a weird look in his eyes before he snapped out of it and looked at the bed. He gave me a glance as he kicked off his shoes and undid his vest hanging it on a chair before he flopped into the bed on his chest.

I smiled as I also kicked off my shoes and sat on the couch and bounced a little as it was nice "I have not slept since before that guy a night ago" I almost did not hear him as I looked his way before standing up.

"I would not have guessed" I mumbled as I turned off the lights around the bed as he did something that made me so excited.

He looked up at me and stuffed ear plugs in his ears, "finally" I spoke with attitude before I moved around the room and turned off all the annoying lights that made this place romantic besides the small one by the couch and lied down, my feet and head on the arms of the couch but it was not bad.

I tried to sleep but I was awake and this time glad if I moved around to much I wont wake him, I sat up and looked his way as he snuggled into his blanket when my eye's landed on his green book. I moved silently and carefully while watching him, I doubt he will mind he gave me my own.

I sat down with my left leg under my ass and got comfortable, I just scanned the pages, I had not read it in a while but I still know the story well as I looked for my favorite parts. Passing a few dirty ones I read lost in the story when I came to my favorite making me smile as this part was also slightly worn on the sides and in the middle where his hand holds it up.

I did notice a few more romantic parts were slightly worn also and I found that cute.

I glanced his way with a smirk, I guess he does read this and it is not just a fuck you or don't talk to me kind of thing. He just reads porn in the open and man that is just too funny.

For a guy who reads porn in public I guess things I say are not a big deal.

I came to the part my alter ego is in and I held back a squeak and looked at him again shocked, the sides of the hot spring part were really worn down, I stared at it and my cheeks went a little red, might just be his favorite part with or without me, might not even think of me when he reads it but it made me nervous inside and slightly flattered.

I just put the book back quietly feeling like I did something wrong and moved back to the couch.

I lied down wiping a small amount of blood from under my nose and shut my eyes as I looked over at the tub, I started to feel like we stepped into the makings of a porno movie making me hold back a laugh at the silliness, at least he is passed out. I shut my eyes and shifted around, him and me together scares me even if it was mutual, not that it is.

I can't ruin this, the way they always get ruined, I lost many male friends when they really try something with me and I don't wanna lose him, he matters to me.

I was lightly shook awake as I looked up at Kakashi with sleepy eyes, sitting up and rubbing my face "morning sexy" I mumbled as he handed me a coffee making me look to a window as the bright sun was outside, my eye's landed on the tub as I looked back down trying to not let the master reader see my mind before looking at him.

"How did you sleep?" I asked as I sipped my coffee and pulled out my smokes.

"Great" He kicked his feet on the table and lightly slid his empty cup away, guess he drank it before he woke me "I really should have used ear plugs ages ago"

I smirked and nodded "ya" I sipped more coffee but it kind of sucked compared to my own and he noticed that making me smile at him.

We were not here much longer and we headed out making me find out this was the village we came to find so we went looking for the women who sent for us.

We found her as she opened her store, it was kind of like a general store, with food, a small area of mismatched clothes and basics. It had so much but also so little in each section but a good idea in a small town.

She was a young women about my age, pretty with light brown hair and her blue eyes shined bright at us with kindness when we walked inside the big open door "There you are" she smacked her hands together "thank you for coming" We smiled at her, even if only mine was real.

"Right to it, there is this old man who lives up in the mountains away from people, he has the capability to get there where we can't" she pointed to herself saying she was a normal person. "He loves to be alone, friendly but closed off, he comes to town once a month almost on the same day every time for supplies" she started to sound worried, "He has not come yet and it has been almost two weeks and I worry.

I nodded understanding the mission "We pooled in as much cash as we could, everyone is worried" she looked at the floor "he was very kind and eccentric in a way that made you smile" She gave a small smile "you go check on him" she waved us away with her hand before she walked passed us and stood just outside the building.

"He lives somewhere up there" she pointed to the smaller of two mountain points "I am not sure where exactly as I can only go so high"

We moved away silently and ran our way there, moving up a small path at first when it turned into just a cliff side making us need to run up sideways before we hit a plateau, I will head to the right and he will head to the left looking for his home making sure my hearing is boosted and we can whistle at each other.

I also boosted my nose and just ran around when I caught a smell, I landed on another plateau where a small shack sat, a little chair in the front looking out onto the world and man it was very breathtaking from here. I was worried as I could feel no chakra inside so I just stuck my fingers in my mouth and tried to whistle but I suck it this and it took a few seconds before I made one loud enough.

I breathed in and headed to the door as I slowly opened it, it smelled of old man, alcohol and there was a faint smell of food but nothing bad, the lights were off inside as the small window was blocked so I could only see from the light of the door.

I saw the feet of a man in black boots lying on the floor as I shuffled quickly towards him knocking the shit from the window.

I bent down and felt his chakraless body but he was still warm.

He was a thick man, old and harry as I slightly panicked, I nudged him but it did nothing as the empty bottle near his head rolled away, I tried to find a pulse but I could not find one.

I was unsure how to do compression right on a bigger man so I lightly pressed my tattoo with my hand on his chest, that made him sit completely up straight with a yell making me fall backwards on my ass and we just stared at each other shocked.

"Who are you and why did you do that?" he grumbled out as we stayed startled.

"I am Ava and I thought you were dead"

He stared "no dear, just my mid day medicated nap" as he picked up his empty bottle and shook it but that just made me laugh lightly. His eyes scanned me landing on my leaf symbol as he slowly got on his feet and stuck his hand out to me, I took it slowly as I was still confused.

"I can't see your chakra" I mumbled my eye's landing on my tattoo but on his arm, his eye's landing on mine.
