Another Naruto story book

[Aro Tokaya]

"Oh, my bro's in room 234,"

"Thanks," I nodded my head and jogged out of the hallway, turning into another. I stopped and leaned on the wall to chew the last bits of my 'sugar-free' candy in silence. The blob of moving sand sat down and pretended to scratch itself with its hind leg.

It barked. Weird.

"So," Crunch, crunch, crunch... "Who was she?"

It cocked its head to a side as I suppose its answer. Meaning: How should I know? I looked down the hall and saw a door with a room marking with the numbers two, three, and four. I sighed, thinking, No excuse for going back and saying I couldn't find the room. I guess I'll just have to do it straight out.

I placed my hands on the wall and pushed the chakra to my feet, then stepped onto the wall. Once balanced (sort of) I made my way up to the ceiling and walked back towards where Usiko and the red-head was. I crawled upside down untill I was right behind her and could see the hair line on top of her head.

"Hey, I didn't get your name," I grinned and almost laughed aloud as she turned around and almost fell backwards.

Squad four~ Hallway

Suika did end up falling. She caught such a surprise when Aro appeared over top of her. She stumbled back, and her clumsy feet (because she was still growing) caught her leg and she fell back onto her butt with a "Ugh!" The wind knocked out of her.

Her hands flew to her chest as she waited a few moments for the air to come. As he vision focused and she caught her breath, and blinked a few times. "I'm Suika," she said, clumsily scrambling to her feet. "Suika Yamanashi." He face flushed bright red, clearly noticeable because of her pale skin, like most red-heads had. She ducked her head in embarassment. She hoped they wouldn't laugh. She looked at her feet. Great, she noticed, her face getting even hoter, [/i]My Maru Katana ripped the side of my shorts![/i]

Yes, it was true. There was a slight rip on the side, carrying from the knee to her mid-thigh. Her mother wouldn't be happy sewing that. She was fine taking out stains, but Suika often came back scathed, and her mother hated sewing and sewing her clothes again. She also noticed, to her 'supreme' delight, that she'd gashed the floor a bit with her Maru Katana.

"Y-your name is Aro, right?" Suika took a deep breath, put on a brave face, and smiled, pretending like nothing happened. She thought she heard Usiko supress a chuckle. She would've slapped him, but she probably would just trip again in her moment of 'klutziness.'
- - -
Okay, new character trait: when Suika trips of falls by accident, she tends to become more clumsy out of embarassment. Remember that!

LaReina!

[Aro Tokaya - Squad 6]

I swung my hand down and shook her's, smiling. Out of the corner of my eye I caught site of my sand dog crumbling (from lack of concentration). I moved the fingers of my free hand and tried to re-create its shape, but when I started to feel my feet slip I let go of the dirt.

"Yeah, Aro Tokaya," I nodded, messing my deep, crimson hair again. "If you ever find any candy with sugar, can I have some?"

Suika face was still a light pink, I noticed her hand holding tightly to her shorts where they ripped. When she saw that I looked her face turned a bright red again--almost as bright as her hair.

"Uh... why? D-didn't you have some lolly pop or something a minute ago?"

I pressed my lips together to keep from laughing. It looked like she was trying really hard to stay still and keep herself from doing anything else embaressing. "It was sugar free. My mom banned any sugar things from me and I'm totally broke right now. Not that you have to get me anything, of course!"

I pressed the chakra towards my hands and smoothly--or at least I think it was smoothly--slid off the ceiling and landed onto my feet. I heard something crunch under my feet and saw that it was the sand. I didn't look back to see how much sand actually filled the hallway because of me, and turned back to the people infront.

"What about you two? How's your parents?" I smiled, Her face is still red! How long does it stay like that?

Usiko~~

On the word of candy i flew to my bag. I began to dig my stuff out and it began to pile around me as i went flying out. After digging through piles i came to the bottom and found a large bag. I took out the bag then made two shadow clones. The clones began to repack as i opened the smaller bag. Inside held candy that was about ready to explode out. I carefully removed two candy bars from it and threw them to Aro saying. "here" as they flew to him. Aro snatched them up from the air and looked at them.

"what is it" he said looking at the blank label.

"chocolate" i said. "extra sugary"

"sweet" Aro said and stuffed them in his pocket.

"and on parents, well dad diesd last year, remember he was th hokage, and mom, well she is doing fine, been teaching me some byakugan techniques even tough i hate and suck at it"

"and Suika i'll be right back, if the sensei comes, please lie and say one of those clones are me" then i sped out to the candy store down the street.

Squad four~ Hallways

Finally Suika felt her face cool down. "If you're going to a candy store than forget about me lying!" Suika called after Usiko's retreating figure. "It's just like a guy to run out right before practise and get candy..." and mumbled to herself. She clamped her lips shut as she saw Aro give her a curious look. His eyebrow was raised into the air. Suika pursed her lips and gave an innocent face, pretending like she didn't say anything. "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't say anything!" Suika said, grasping tightly onto the place where he pants had ripped.

She carefully moved towards the wall, where she'd sit again, pulling her feet up high-- almost to her chest-- to ensure that she didn't slip. Then, relieved she slid down the wall. "Our teamate, Akira, is always this late. And I, however, am always early. As for Mando sensei... well, he may be taking after Kakashi, from what I hear. He's pretty late. Let's hope, though, that he doesn't show up before Mando does. I'm a horrible liar!"

Suika could be talktative when she wanted to. She felt better now that her clumsy incident had been forgotten, it seemed. Aro hadn't said anything about it, nor had Usiko. That was good, right? Suika examined the rip on her shorts, and when she felt Aro's eyes on her, she balled the fabric up in her fist and gave him a wide smile, her eyes closed. Boy was she bad at acting incospicuous. What kind of a ninja was she?

Akira- Squad Four

Akira rounded the corner in the hallway and saw the giant pile of sand.

What the hell?

He reached up over his shoulder as he walked in to the room so that he could draw his sword quickly if he needed to. There was a guy standing in another pile of sand in the center of the room and Suika was sitting against her wall and looked beet red.

Ok, now I'm completely confused...

He dropped his hand from his sword and said, "Hey, sorry I'm late, the hospital didn't want to let me go, I had to sneak out."

Suika and the other guy turned to look at him. "I assume you are Akira?"

On first impression Akira thought he was a joke. He didn't look like he would take anything seriously, but perception can be misleading. He put on a very lazy look and said, "Yup. You taking Usiko's place?"

He shook his head, "No, he went out to get some candy. I'm with his brother"

His sharingan alerted him to the threat, and he muttered quickly, "Well this is not where you want to be, get out of the way."

He pushed the kid against the wall and caught the kunai that flew in through the window. A second later Sensei was perched on the sill with a serious look on his face.

"Where did Usiko go?"

*first post in a while, hope i didn't mess with anything*

Mando~~

Not knowing the strange child i attacked him, but when my student defended him i let it go. Then i searched for usiko.
"i'm opver here" came from a voice. He looked over ti see two Usikos packing stuff into a bag.

"your not Usiko" Mando said. Then he hit both in the chest and watched one fall to smoke while the other stayed.

"huh" Suika said.

Usiko~~

I came into the rooms view a second before the strike and was able to do a quick substitution jutsu to get my body in there. I heard a chorus of questioning sounds come out and then my clone came into the room. He was wearing the rode that i had filled with candy.
"wait, i thought, that you left, i saw you" Mando said

"yeah, my clone" I said. " i knew that Suika might tattle on me so i decided to send a clone for my run. Want anything i gave him plenty to spend." then the clone gave me the candy. There were five bags of it that i attached to the inside of my robe. Then i saw Aro leave the room, and mando gesture us to sit down.

"okay students" he said. "as you were told we are going on a retreat today, we will leave the gate in an hour, then go through the kamando trail, to the Geriko ridge and back again. Now anything brought with you can be used but nothing else can be brought in to the forest after that. Now the first question i guess you will have is why are we doing this. The reason is because one, a ninja needs to be able to survive harsh conditions, so we chose a week where we knew the weather would be rough Second, This is to build teamwork, and to familiar yourself with the forest. And Third because we have reason to believe that there are either rouge ninja or bandits roaming the place, so this mission will also include illuminating them. Now if you have anymore questions ask now"

Denrei

He laid his hands lightly on his knees as he seated himself at the foot of his bed. He'd already decided how he was going to face his Sensei's apparent decision to starve them on the forest retreat.

He was going to starve himself now, and focus himself with intensive meditation. If he could get his body used to not eating much, and draw strength from his spirit, he'd be able to survive easily.

What he'd need for the retreat was already packed, the bag resting just to one side of his door. He closed his eyes and began slipping back into a mantra, focusing his whole self inwardly. If he could do this right, he wouldn't break out of it until his Sensei came to let him know that they were leaving.

Suika~ Room (?)

Suika let out a huff when Usiko said she'd tattle on him. Once their sensei was finished talking, Suika got up and gave him a push. "I'm a horrible liar, not a tattler!" she hissed. Akira raised an eyebrow, but said nothing. Usiko, however... well, if he got mad, there goes teamwork... down the drain.

Suika leaned up against the wall opposite her teamates and her sensei and waited until Mando-sensei told them they could leave. She really didn't want to do this, but she knew she had to. Besides, if there were rogue ninja on the loose, then that was their job right there.

But as Mando-sensei motioned for them to follow him out the window, Suika really wished she'd brought a rain poncho. And her hair was soaked....
- - -
If you didn't get that last part, don't worry. Its just weird, even to me. It starts pouring rain, okay? The bad side to the beginning of the five day trek.

LaReina!

Quin lead her team into the forest. She had them walk in a defensive position at all times, so that if they were atacked. She had them empty their packs at the gate and put only enough rations for three days in the one pack. THis way they would have to be forced to find food by other means. She also confiscated al their ninja tools, exept for one shuriken for each of them. They would learn to be thrifty with the little tings they had.

Usiko~~

Sadly Mando took all of his candy, or so he thought. Usiko had a few bags hidden in his sleeves and in the robe. After the confiscation though he only put them in a mini fridge which he locked for me. Then we left, when we arrived at the gates we saw my brothers team ahead of us running into the forest.

"now, before i leave i will say this, i was supposed to wait to but i think you deserve to know it," Mado said. "after one day i will be leaving you three to come back here, you must go to the ridge though, because unless you bring back a special item for the squad there. And if you do not you must go back, and that time through the longer and harder way." Then he turned around and ran to the forest, us following him fast as possible.

Suika~ Forest

Suika had never found it hard to climb the trees and jump across their branches. She also liked throwing in a few flips in tricks, just to show off. She was very lithe and flexible. She was right on Mando's heels, and she figured he was trying to shake her off by spinning or doing a serpentine. Suika just let him waste his energy. She let out a little giggle.

Then she jumped up as high as she could, ready to catch a branch... and she missed. Her arm swung forward, her hand grabbing onto air. She felt her body falling from beneath her. "Whoops," she mumbled as she began tumbling down. Her body landed smack dab in the middle of two tree branches. She let out a groan. She'd be sore in the morning. Mando, however, didn't seem to care. He just kept going. She saw Akira pass her (but of course her sight was upside down) and she saw Usiko pass her.

She saw Usiko smile when he saw her lying there. Oh yeah, show off? Well, take this! Suika thought, scrambling to her feet. She climbed up the tree, scrambling up like a little monkey, and once she was on top, spread her arms wide, closed her eyes, and jumped. She felt like she was skydiving. She opened her eyes, and sure enough, she was soaring over top of even Mando.

She swung off a branch and continued bouncing over and under them. She was psyched for this 'mission' now, for some reason. She couldn't see any surprises here....

*I modified Suika's outfit, if anyone cares.*

~La Reina!

AKIRA-Squad 4

I saw Suika jump over mando and let out a sigh. She really needed to just stay back with the rest of the group. I turned and nodded to Usiko, letting him know that I was going up.

I turned back to the path and used my sharingan to see where he would go. At the speed I was about to go, if he changed course, I would be very messed up. Then I moved. Before I had been jogging, now I went all out. The tree branches dissapeared from under me and I was relying purely on the Sharingan to keep me in the trees.

In seconds I was with Mando, and barely a second later I was past him and with Suika.

"Slow down, we're getting too far ahead of them. If you want to show off your speed lets do it some other time", I yelled to her as we wove between the branches.

She looked at me and shrugged.

*i dont know how you would react so, I added that in there so you can pretty much do whatever you want*

*Its okay, you did perfect. She'd act something like this:*

Squad four~ Forest

"Slow down, we're getting too far ahead of them. If you want to show off your speed lets do it some other time", Akira yelled.

So, Suika stopped. She stopped dead and stood there, a smile playing on the edges of her lips. So, her teamates hated her as well. That was okay. She could be annoying sometimes, and today was going to be one of those times.

Akira stumbled a moment, the stopped. Her was fuming. "What?" Suika shrugged innocently. "You said to slow down, so I did." Akira waited for the others to catch up. Suika hope him and Usiko wouldn't decide to take her out instead of the enemies.
- - -
Hope I portrayed Akira right.

~Rei

*Haha thats fine*

At the speads I was going it would have been impossible for me to stop without the sharingan. Even with it I almost fell.

When I saw her standing there with a grin on her face I couldn't stop myself from laughing. But with the rate of my heart being what it was, it probly looked more like I was hyperventalating.

"What?" I said in responce to her smug smile.

She smiled wider, "You said to slow down, so I did."

I laughed again. "I guess I should have been more specific."

She nodded, and then the others came up. Mando kept on going, but Usiko stopped, "Whats wrong?"

"Nothing", I responded, "Mando just sped up he wants to loose us, lets catch up."

With that I turned and ran after our Sensei.
