Escape (( a naruto oc story ))

Chapter 13

(( the added picture is of Riku. :p))

"Okay, okay, explain this to me one more time..." 512 mumbled in a mix of disbelief, amusement, and confusion as she walked behind Hazu and in front of Riku. They had been walking for a while now and it seemed that most of the houses were farther away from the headquarters and facilities dealing with ninja things. Some sort of space for protection if an attack was to happen, 512 supposed.

Hazu ran his hand threw the strands of his long brown hair steadily growing aggravated with her already. "Ryo-sama assigned us with protecting you, as well as teaching you about life in this village. He thinks this would be the best done if we all stayed together for a while."

As they walked up the bland, creaky steps of the apartment building 512 looked around impressed at how the house stood with multiple floors and with the windows. She reached out to touch one on the ground level and cried out in suprise. Riku and Hazu gave each other a look of 'Dear God what is wrong with this girl.' Riku spoke to her softly as if talking to a baby,

"What is it...?"

"Why wont my hand go threw?!" She sounded both amazed and slightly panicked as she poked at the window again. Riku looked at her his snakelike yellow eyes widening.

"It's glass."

"Glass..." 512 seemed to think about this a moment. "What is this glass, tell me more." Hazu groaned loudly and rubbed his face as he unlocked the door to their new apartment.

"Well its put in the windows so we can see out them but things like bugs cant come in." Riku continued to explain as they walked in. Hazu took off his shoes and set them facing the door. Riku did the same as he talked. 512 blinked then slipped out of the hospital slippers and copied them. As Riku shut the door she titled her head.

"Why?" He stopped and looked at her a moment, then at a farther loss for words he shrugged lightly.

"I don't know." He hoped she wouldn't ask anymore questions, and was relieved as she walked around their apartment. He glanced over at Hazu who stood in the entrance way of the kitchen watching her. She wandered around first in the living area which was furnished with only a medium sized couch and a table. She paused and reached out touching the potted flower gently that sat in the middle of the table. It was bright purple and had many blossoms on a single stalk. There were a total of three stalks. As she touched it gently an older petal fell from the flower she gasped and looked over her shoulder where Hazu and Riku stood next to each other now watching her. She looked heartbroken and mumbled softly,

"I broke it..." Riku looked at her horrified as he thought she was about to cry and shook his head quickly.

"No no it's fine!"

"Really...?"

"Yes really."

"Oh." Her attitude changed instantly back to normal curiosity and she looked around again going into the bedrooms. Riku looked at Hazu his eyes wide.

"She's crazy..." He whispered as he glanced at the doorway of the bedroom. "Someone should go check on her." Hazu looked at him and chuckled.

"Yeah you're right." Then he turned and walked the oppsite way into the kitchen. Riku huffed and rolled his eyes walking into the bedroom to find and very confused 512 trying to lay down on one of the rolled up futons. Without saying a word he took a second futon and unrolled it feeling her watching him he then laid down on it and began staring up at the ceiling. After a moment of silence he heard her moving around and paused before turning his head to look in her direction. She had laid out the futon exactly as he had, even coping how he laid with both hands behind his head.
