Man
why'd she have to put them on the other side of town? I'll likely run
into Naruto and the Hag now. Then I'd have to tell them were I was
going and why the heck I wouldn't be showing up for missions for a week
or more. Speaking of which I guess I should have asked if they knew I
was coming... or how long they'd be here... oh well guess I'll find out
when I get there.Just a couple more blocks now and... damn of
all times for me to take the route going passed Naruto's favorite
place. In front of me is Naruto, luckily by himself. He had paused for
a second digging in his pocket for something. I had frozen in place
hopping he wouldn't notice me. Suddenly he finds what he was looking
for and pulls it out of his pocket."Aha! I found you!"I
stiffen thinking he had finally noticed me, but relax again as I notice
some money in the hand that he's now pumping in the air. Without even
looking at me he starts heading into Ichiraku Ramen. Just before he
enters though he says over his shoulder"Hey Sai, bye Sai"then
continues in. I stay there starring for a second then continue on my
way. When I finally get to the building I look at the paper again.
Their on the top floor. I look up and wish I didn't. The building was
tall... REALLY tall. I wondered how it had escaped my attention before.
I got an an answer to that a few seconds later when I came upon a
plaque telling the when or rather how the building was made... it was a
jutsu... and was made just a week ago... I go inside and head for the
elevator. After pressing the button , I wait... and wait... and wait...
till it finally arrives. I get in, press the button for the twentieth
floor then watch the doors close. Once they close I get the surprise of
my life. It shoots up like a rocket and before I know it I'm there and
flattened against the floor. Now this was extremely confusing since it
took so long to just get down to the bottom floor but takes seconds to
get to the top. It's probably better not to dwell on that topic though,
so I get up off the floor and wobble out. The doors instantly close
behind me and starts heading down again. Strange, strange elevator... I
look back at the doors wearily then continue down the hall.
Gaara
Me
and Saiyo are headed to Tsunade's office on the other side of town.
Kaji had decided to stay behind at the apartment to get clean, since
she was still covered in the creature's blood. For some reason Saiyo
had gone silent for the past couple of minutes and looked like she was
concentrating. Curious as to what she was being so serious about I go
to ask but am cut off by her suddenly bursting out in laughter.
Eventually she's laughing so hard she falls over and starts rolling on
the ground. Now I'm majorly confused, so I ask"What are you laughing at?"Continuing to laugh she manages to gasp out" HAHA gasp elevator gasp HAHA!"This confuses me further but I just leave it and wait for her to stop laughing.
Sai
I
finally had the elevator out of my sight. I think I'd rather take the
stairs, or climb up the side of the building, than use that elevator
again. I continue down the hallway until I come across a single door.
In the distance I can see another but besides that there is only the
end of the hall. Must be big apartments... I look at the paper and find
that the door I need is the one I've stopped in front of. Turning to it
I knock loudly and wait. Surprisingly quickly I hear footsteps coming
to the door. They pause for a second just inside the door. Looking at
the door closely I see a little peep hole, the kind used for seeing
who's outside the door. Who ever is on the other side of the door must
be checking who it was. Finally the door opens and standing in the door
is a woman... in a towel and half covered in crusty blood. As if my day
couldn't get any stranger a single cat ear perks up, making her head
look a bit lopsided. Well that is until another one perks up on the
other side. That was better... wait... Cat ears? Suddenly something
starts moving behind her. As my eyes pass past her face though to the
black blur I notice her expression has remained neutral but her eyes
look impatient. Finally realizing what it is going back and forth
behind her, It hits me who and what she is.
Kaji
I
had just gotten into the shower and half washed off the blood encrusted
on my skin when my sharp hearing detects foot steps coming down the
hall. They were light and well placed so likely a ninja's. The ever
elusive Mizukage had arrived before us and didn't want any visitors, so
it was either a really stupid ninja or was coming to Gaara's and my
apartment. I sigh, what an annoyance, get out of the shower and rap a
towel around myself. I then head out the door just as a knock is heard
at the door. If Gaara and Saiyo hadn't gone I could have had my shower
in peace... but I guess important business is important business. When
I get to the door I look through the peep hole. Outside is a male
shinobi, he has black hair, dark eyes and has a Konoha head band on his
forehead. His clothing is a bit strange for a male seeing as his top
cuts off at about the same place his rib cage ends. Besides that and
the emotionless look on his face he looks pretty normal, though what is
normal when it comes to shinobi? Might as well find out what he wants.
Judging from his chakra aura I'm more than a match for this ANBU but
just in case, I hide a kunai under my towel, then open the door. The
guy seems a bit taken aback as he sees me. I perk up one ear in
question, thinking he'd get what I meant. He obviously doesn't because
rather than saying what he wanted or at least introducing himself he
stares at my ear. I then perk up the other and he sways back minutely,
likely not even noticing he was doing so. My tail starts to sway back
and forth as I start to get annoyed. Unfortunately this grabs his
attention and he looks down at my tail. Now I'm really annoyed so my
tail goes faster. The guy finally seems to realize what I am as he
looks up at my face. His eyes have slightly widened giving him a
semi-surprised look, which is oddly cute.
Gaara
We
were on our way back from the Hokage's when a sudden chill runs over
me. There's been a disturbance in the force... I then realize that
something must be happening with Kaji so without an explanation I grab
Saiyo, get on my sand, and go as fast as it will go towards the
apartment.
Kaji
Suddenly the guy jumps back and points at me, his eyes have widened slightly more and I cross my arms over my chest as he says"Neko!"Unfortunately
for him as he does so he bumps into Sakura, a medinin I had seen
earlier being gawked over by a small group of guys. I had no idea what
they found attractive about her. Her forehead is too big and well ok
that was the only flaw I could find in her but of course I'm not really
one to judge a girl in looks, having absolutely no experience in the
normal girl things or telling what was 'hot' or not.Also she called me
a guy... so that could have something to do with it... Well anyways as
he jumps back and bumps into her they both end up falling to the ground
in a heap of shinobi. Sakura starts yelling at the guy. The only part
of it that could be understood though was"SAI! YOU CLUMSY IDIOT! LOOK WHAT YOU DID! GET OFF OF ME!... wait... why are you here in the first place?!"I
look on in mild amusement as the guy apparently called Sai gets up off
the ground and Sakura and says keeping his emotionless face"Well Ugly I'm on a mis..."He doesn't really get to finish his sentence because I suddenly cut him off by saying"Finally! I've been waiting all day to hear that! I swear most of the guys in your village have the worst taste in women!"Everything
goes silent, while Sai looks over at me, Sakura looks at me with a
shocked out of her mind look. Gaara then makes his presence known by
yelling in surprise"Holy crap! who got her to talk?!"his
eyes are wide and he's slightly panting. He looks back and forth
between me, Sai, and Sakura over and over again until his eyes land on
me for the fifth time and stop. His eyes widen even more as what I'm
wearing sinks in and he stutters"Ka--kaj! why are you only wearing a towel? I thought you were taking a shower!"expertly keeping my emotionless face I reply dryly" I was until he came to the door. Then I got out, put a towel on and answered the door."Gaara then sighs and says"Fine. Just get back in the shower, your still half covered in that creature you slaughtered' blood."In response I nod then disappear in a burst of flame, leaving a pile of ash, that used to be a towel and a very shocked Sakura.
