My Savior

chapter twenty-three

"I think we should get to know each other better." My roommate says to me over some breakfast.

"Hmm?" I look at her while drinking my green tea.

"You know since we will be living togetuher we shouldn't be strangers. Tell each other about our likes, dislikes, hobbie's. Things like that." Thank black hair beauty gives my a wide smile.

"Oh....uh ok." I continue to play the shy act and awkwardly shrug my shoulders, giving a half smile.

"Well as you know I am Sakimi. I love chocolate, going out, my boyfriend and fluffy animals. My dislikes are insects of any kind, girl's who don't know boundaries, and exercising. Let's see I love the color purple, rainy days and painting." She finishes her introduction and her deep red eyes wait for me to start mine.

Clearing my throat I begin. "I'm Rina. I like red bean mochi, reading, exercising, and helping others. I dislike really spicy things, hot weather, and those who make this world a more evil place. I love the color orange and hope to meet Tsunade of the sannin." Sakimi raises her well plucked eyebrow and taps her chin In thought.

"Tsunade of the sannin......why does that sound so familiar." She continues to think. Finishing up my rice I speak up.

"She is from the legendary sannin, known for her medical ninjutsu and has the strength of a hundred. She is the best there is ans was one of the reasons I started learning medical ninjutsu, I really look up to her." I say with admiration while talking about the slug princess.

Sakimi's eyes widen and snaps her fingers. "Right! Now I remember who she is. That is some idol you have there. Regular people just want to meet some one famous or something." She tells me while lazily picks on the rest of her food.

"I guess I'm not normal." My lips form a thin line and give a little shrug.

"That is never a bad thing. Being normal is to boring." She grins at me and i bob my head in agreement.

"Any family? I am the middle child of three kids. My family lives in konoha and from what I've been told I have relatives in Suna, iwa, and land of hot springs. What about you?" The smile I had before fades and my eyes widened slightly. My face falls and I look at my now empty tea cup.

"I-I'm...I am the only child and as for my parents they both passed away and I don't know if I do have any other relatives." I say quitely. I could feel her gaze on me knowing she didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry." I shall my head at her.

"It's ok. You didn't know, so you don't have to apologize." I give her a forceful smile and ender the pain I felt in my chest. She gave me a small sad smile in return.

"Well if you want, you can have one of my annoying brothers. I'll be more than happy to give both of them to you." She chuckles and I do too. She then turns her head towards the clock hanging on ththe wall and her face filled with shock.

"Shit! I forgot we have to be at the hospt earlier than usual. You can leave your dishes there we can worry about them later." She says in a rush already getting up and heading towards the front door. I follow right behind her, after putting on my shoes I get out the front door first. I see that our next door neighbor was also leaving his home.

"Good morning." I smile and bow my head to him, I was always taught to respect the elderly.

"Ehh." The old man lazily waved me off and continued to walk toward the stairs. His action cause me to deadpan in my spot. Sakimi wasn't kidding when she said he was grumpy and bitter. Still frozen in my spot, Sakimi finishes locking the door and walks up to me.
