Where's My Dolly ?

Guarding old man

Yuu's POV

"I GIVE UP!" I shouted as I fell backward. Kakashi-sensei glanced at me boredly.

"Now, now come on. You wouldn't want us to die in the hand of Zabuza next time we meet, right?" Kakashi-sensei close-eyed smiled at me then returned to his icha icha paradise. I looked at him unbelievably annoyed. I stood up from the ground and dusted my skirt.

"I'm gonna take a break-"
"Kakashi-sensei! Look!" Sakura shouted. I tilt my head upward...

You gotta be kidding me.

"Nu-uh, I'm hallucinating things... yup hallucinations... hallucinating Sakura could actually climb without her hands.... yep hallucinations..." i chanted, growing mushrooms in the corner.

"Well good job Sakura. Looks like Sakura could a perfect candidate for the next hokage than a certain Uchiha and a class clown. " kakashi-sensei nonchalantly. Sakura started to freak out.

"Kakashi-sensei! Don't say such things to Sasuke-kun!" Sakura screeched. She jumped down from the tree branch, and raced toward me. "Yuu! Sasuke-kun looks pissed right?!" Sakura whisper-yelled at me. I looked behind her to see Sasuke glaring dagger at us.

"Yep,And he got kunai in his hand. "I stated, "now he's ignoring us." Sakura sighed. Kakashi-sensei got in between us and close eyed smiled.

"Well, girls, why don't you go and guard Tazuna for the day. " Kakashi said, "since you're done with your training, except Yuu, just go and guard Tazuna by the bridge."

"Kakashi-sensei, can I go? Please????" I flashed a puppy dog eyes at him and fluttered my eyelashes at him. Kakashi-sensei sweatdropped and finally agreed to let me go with Sakura.

We found Tazuna and his men with out awesome ninja skills in no time. We simply sat on the ground, watching the men doing their work until sun set.

"Well, let us continue it tomorrow." Tazuna said as he packed up his things, one of his men approached him and hang his head down.

"Tazuna... I don't think this is worth it. Just let Gato have control on us!" The man said sullenly and turn his back on Tazuna, few of them also followed the man, leaving Tazuna's remaining men on the deck along with Sakura and I.

"What's with his problem." I muttered, Tazuna started to walked to a dirty district. Old men and younger men were lined up on the wall smoking opiums and stuff, children dressed in dirty, tattered clothing, had no choice but to steal anything for themselves and their families to survive. Women sat on the ripped tatami mat by the sidewalk, with a paper cup in their hands begging for money.

Tazuna finally stopped in front of a convenient store. We went inside and inspected the remaining foods lined up in the shelves. I took one of the rotten carrot and grimaced.

"Tazuna-san, the foods here are rotten." Sakura said in disgust. Tazuna piled everything up in his hand.

"Ever since Gato cut of the trading in this island, the fresh foods were quite hard to find, thus making everything left here very expensive." Tazuna purchased the things he took and walked out. A boy around my age walked up to me and tapped my shoulder. I turned my head to looked at him, he cupped his hand in front of his face and smiled shyly.

"H-hey, I-I was wondering if you have any foods for me and my family to eat. W-we haven't eaten anything for days..." The boy talked softly with his head down peeking ever so slightly at me. I reached my skirt and lifted it up, the boy's face was flushed and he covered his eyes and squealed.

"Hey, here." I took his hand from his eyes and put a bag of candies on his palm. "Grandma Sawako gave that to me few days ago before the mission. She told me to share it with someone that I wished to help. So I decided to shared it with you. " I said.  His face started to lighten up.

"T-thank you!" He said, "U-um what is your name?" He asked me.

I merely grinned at him. "Yuu, the name's Yuu. " I said.

"Yuu-san, I am forever be in your debt. " with that he immediately went to his way.

"Yuu, that was kind of you to help somebody." Sakura smiled. I looked at her and grinned.

"Unlike you, you almost punched the kid. " I said, Sakura tensed.

"Ha? I would never do that. Hohoho~" Sakura fake laughed.

I waved my hand dismissively, "yeah, yeah that's what they all said."
