Shadows in the Sand

“Thank you” said a young female ninja. The ninja had long brown hair that ended at her waist and dark midnight blue eyes than stand out on her bronze skin.  She had on a black belly bottom shirt, which was lace up across her larger chess. She also had dark blue shorts, a gray jacket with fur around the neck and black combat boots. “Sorry for the trouble” she continues, bowing to the secretary. “Good luck on your mission” said the secretary bowing back.   The ninja was a little disappointed but know this was normal for Kages. “Zillah!” she look up to find herself in the lobby.  Slightly to her left, were her teammate come to her. “Aiden…why is Akina riding on your back?” asked Zillah raising an eyebrow. “I’m tried…” utter Akina.

                Akina was the young of the three. She had dark down almost black hair that ended mid-back. Her golden eyes went great with her black skin tone. It was somewhat hard to see her outfit but Zillah know she was her purple hoodie with cat ears, a blue raffle shirt, black socks and ankle boots. One the other hand, Aiden was different. He had black hair that tries to hide his red eyes; that normally pop out.  His light skin tone want well with his ten hoodie, blue pants and black shoes. Of course the zipper to the hoodie was broke, showing of his abs.  Aiden did hate wearing shirts. “What did they say?” asked Aiden. Zillah sigh deeply before speaking in a low slow tone. “The Kazekage leave a few days ago for Konoha.”  Aiden straight up, tighten his hold on Akina, who look more awake than a few moments ago. “You mean We walk all the way here only to find out it was pointless!” Aiden spoke in a low tone that had an edge. “…yeah.” Zillah wait for the worse from Aiden but Akina comment first.  “I’m going to killed Sensei. No wait, Zillah I order you to killed Sensei” Akina pulled herself up to look Zillah in the eyes. Zillah gives her friends a small smile before walking around them to the door. “It late, let’s just go back to the hotel, we’ll leave in the morning.”

                Zillah walked into the hotel room with a bag of food. It took a while but she fined a shop that sell food Akina and Aiden would like. Picky eaters, she thought. Zillah felt something wrong, once the door was close. Closing her eyes, Zillah only felt one chakra sources. Going to the living room to see Akina sitting in the loveseat, fixing a few of her arrows. “Where Aiden?” asked Zillah setting the food on the table. “Um…bathroom?” answered Akina when Zillah headed Akina her food. “No, he not” said Zillah throwing herself into the sofa. “Oh.” The girls know where he was most likely at: a bar. Back home, Aiden was banned for ever bar. “We’ll find him in the morning” utter Zillah.

                Zillah and Akina both woke up to a loud bang. “What the…” mutter Zillah. The girls graded theirs weapons- Sais for Shadow, bow and arrow for Akina- before walking to the door. “…what to you feel?” whispered Akina. “A person…ninja, Come on” answered Zillah. The girls counted to three in their heads before walking out into the hall. They relax when they saw Aiden lying on the floor with just his boxer on. “Idiot” mutter Zillah causing Akina to giggle.  He was ten feet away for them but Zillah could smell the alcohol on his breath.  “Here” Zillah said handing Akina her Sais than walk over to pick Aiden off the floor. “I’ll try and sober him up” continue Zillah once she had a hold on Aiden.  “What are you plan on doing?” inquired Akina. Turning around to look Akina in the eyes, Zillah answered “A cold shower.” The moment the words leaver her lips the shower and lights true on in the bathroom closest to them. “Get ready” order Zillah.

                Akina was following Zillah thought the deserts, trying to find their way out. Aiden normal would lead and negritude them out but with the hangover he can’t think straight. Akina try to keep things on the bright side bur she wasn’t caring Aiden on her back, Zillah was. “Idiot...” mutters Zillah looking around “…and we’re lost” she said dropping Aiden. “Zillaah” moaned Aiden slowly pushing himself up. “Idiot! You just had to go get dunk off your ass! You know we leave today! And you know the way to Konoha!” yelled Zillah, face red with anger. “Sorry…” Aiden said in a low tone.  “Guys, let’s claim down. It lunch time so…Let eat!” exclaim Akina hoping to claim down Zillah’s rage. Mutter a few cures worlds, Zillah plopped herself on the ground. “You do realize that will take a while, yes?” asked Aiden looking at Akina as she skips around them. “Yup!”

                 “Akina…”moaned Aiden as he watches her continue to skip. “Yeah?” “Can you pleasse stop skipping? You’re making me dizzy.” He complains. “Aww, but it fun” Akina answered, stopping of a second than continuing. “Zillah gets her to stop!” Aiden said look at the quiet and busy kuncichi. “….Akina and Aiden please stop. The food ready…” order Zillah holding out their food. “Zillah you’re not going to eat?” ask Akina once she set down between Aiden and her. “No.”  Zillah started digging though her bag. “Aiden, I have pills you can take to help with your hangover.” “Really?” “Yes, you idiot…” Zillah said pulling the pills out of her bag. “We leave once you finish” Zillah said looking at her teammates and had her eyes flash black.

                “Finally” mutter Zillah. The three ninja stand in front of the red gates of Konoha. “Oh, come on. Let’s go find sensei” said Akina, skipping thought the gates. Letting out a deep sigh, Zillah follow her two friends, looking around the village. “It so peaceful here” said Akina in awe. “….they are not in a war…” whispers Zillah “…do you think the kingdom is safe?”  inquired Akina in a low tone. “With the barrier and the King, they are safe” comment Aiden as he wrapped his arms over Akina’s and Zillah’s shoulders. “Now come on, let’s find some food that sensei” exclaimed Aiden as he lead the girls though the busy streets of Konoha.

                “So, how do we find sensei?...I mean he Had to visited the Hokage, right? It’s been three days.” The three had stopped at a small bridge that lead that look like training grounds. “Knowing Sensei, he got last on the way here so…maybe not. His is a bigger idiot that Aiden.” Utter Zillah lying on the railing of the bridge. “Hey!” two voices yelled out. “Hello Sensei” greeted Akina finishing the last of her ice cream. “Took you’re sweet time” comment Aiden as they all true and look at the young man before them.  The young man had shaggy purple hair, one oddly color of blue eye and the other cove by an eye path. He stands about 5’11” in high, wearing a gray shirt under an awful green jacket and black ninja pants. “So how was Sana?” ask their Sensei, his voice going weak at the end. “You should know, since you meet the Hokage and Kazekage, right” said Zillah pushing herself up into a sitting position. “Right about that...” answers their sensei rubbing the back of his neck. “ Zillah…Remember what I said” mutter Akina looking at Zillah with a serious face. “As you wish…” comments Zillah, as her eyes flash black. “AHHH!” yelled their sensei as he goes flying into the river: that run under the bridge. “What was that for?” their sensei ask once his head pop out for under the water. “She following orders” answered Aiden looking down at their sensei with a hard glare. “Let’s just go to the hotle.”
