From the Shadows: Modern Day Ninjas

Chapter One

If you took a good look at her, you would think she was some regular teenage girl, with the same ol' agenda that every other teenage girl would have. When is he  going to be here? Or, is it too late to make plans? Or even, I hope no one notices the pimples I have. Then the list goes on and on. But with this girl, she has none of that on her mind, for she is not like other teenage girls. The only thing she might have in common with them is waiting for her friends to show up.....for only if they could be on time for once she'd be happy. She pulled her sleeve up to check her wrist watch as she tapped her foot wondering where her friends could possibly be. She pushed down her sleeve and begun to pace back and forth in the wet grass. “Come on..come on,” She mumbled under her breath. “Have they ever heard of the word punctual?” she stopped abbrucatnly crossing her arms across her stomach. She closed her eyes as she spoked hushed harsh words against her friends. Her eyebrows twitched as she felt that someone came behind her. “Don’t even think about it Maya,” she hissed pissed. She went around her as others followed from out of the shadows. Maya looked sheepishly at her friend who had been waiting for them. “Sorry--” she started. “Sorry?! That’s not even close enough for a apologize. You three are a hour and a half late!” she shouted at her friends as she held fists at her sides. A guy threw his arms around her shoulders and gave her slight squeeze. “We’re really sorry Grace, we didn’t mean to be so late, and we know you have been waiting here so patiently for us and we appreciate it. We also will try to be on time next the time,” he told her. She held her eyebrow raised, but it dropped as she sighed. “Fine Pauly, you guys are forgiven...this time. But next time you better be on time!” She told them as she shrugged Pauly’s arm off her so she could swing her pointer finger at them. Jada and Maya put their arms up in front of them in defense.

Grace then ran her fingers through her hair as she sighed softly. “Come we better get going or we’ll be late,” she spoke as she turned to go into the woods. She stopped before she entered the shadowy woodland.”Please try to keep up.” And with that said she disappeared into the trees like a bolt of lightening. If you would to walk into the woods after her, you wouldn’t even see or know she had entered. All you would hear is the leaves moving amongst the trees thinking it’s the wind. That’s not it at all, it’s far from the truth. Gracie went from tree branch to branch gracefully not making any sounds. She glanced behind her to see her friends a few feet behind her. She laughed to herself as she looked forward with a smirk planted on her face. They never could keep up, Grace thought to herself. With ease she pushed forward knowing what laid ahead of them. Seconds later her smirk turned into a smile at what came into her view. She gave herself a great push that sent her way up in the air, it was like she used the branch as a diving board. As she came down the wind picked up her long dark brown hair making brown swirls in the air. She landed on the dirt ground on her feet as she brushed her hand through her hair to making sure it wasn’t too messy. When she looked up she saw two guys, one on each,leaning up against each side of the entry way.She smiled as she walked over to them. “Hey Yushi, Itchi,” she said as she came between the two brothers.

They shot glares at each other before they turn their attention to her with a smile. She rolled her eyes. “Are you two in a fight again?” She asked with a half hearty laugh. Yushi went over to her and gave her a hug as he told her, “When aren’t we?” Itchi just let out a huff, nodding his head ever so slightly. She waved at him and he only gave her nod in response. Yushi let his arm slid down her side till it rested on her hip. Her eyebrow went up and started to twitch as his hand started to reach for her ass. She stopped his hand without a second to spare. “If you like your hand connected to your wrist, I suggest you not push your luck,” she told him all her warmness out of her voice. Itchi chuckled lightly but quickly hushed it away. Yushi brought his hand back when the rest of her friends came out of the woods and over to them. “Hey Sen’s what’s going on today in class?” Pauly had asked as he came over. Itchi gave him a grave sadistic smile, “You’re just going to have to see like anyone else.” The expression that went across Paul’s face was almost priceless as fear entered it but only a little. The girls and Yushi couldn’t help the laugh that escape their lips as Itchi let a small smile play across his. “Relax Pauly it’s nothing major,”Yushi told him as he gave him a slap on the shoulder. Pauly laughed nervously as he rubbed the back of his shoulder that got slapped. Jada gathered her friends and said, “We better get to class or we’ll be late.” She then turned to Yushi and Itchi as they begun to walk through the entrance to the academy to say, “Aren’t you suppose to be teaching us Sensis’?” The twin brothers looked at each other before disappearing in a puff of smoke. “Ahu, that’s what I thought,” she said as she walked to class with her friends.
