We soon received all of our needed supplies, and were on our way back. Konan wasn't as bad as I thought she was. She was actually quite nice, funny, and smart. It was surprising to see how close we have become over a week. It was as if we were sisters. A small whimpering caused me to look at my feet. With a little thumping tail, and wrinkly face. Turning immediately soft to the little puppy Konan looked back at me. I guess she just noticed how I wasn't walking anymore.
" Leader won't let you bring that back I hope you know that." I was going to bring this puppy back, I won't let it starve to death. " Well looks like he's going to have to deal with it, won't he." Exhaling heavily and dropping her head she continued walking. Looking down at the little half starved fur ball, I felt happy to be taking it with me. In a quick motion the puppy was picked up and off the cold damp forest floor. The only sound was the crunching of leaves under our feet.
The small beast's tail was wagging furiously. It's soft tounge meeting my pale cheek. The sound of a giant rock being slid was heard. Without even having to look up I already new we were at the base. Gently setting him down, and making sure not to spill any of the content that was in the large paper bag under my other arm. " Follow me now, don't get lost. " I said to the puppy. With a slight nod I got off my knee and walking into the entrance to the base. Shouting could be heard from where I was standing and I wasn't even in the door yet. The giant rock slid back into its place from behind me. Sealing us in the dark.
Grasping the door handle that led into the heart of the base, and giving it a slight turn. The puppies black fur made him disappear in the dark. Letting out s shrill whistle the puppy responded with a little squeak. " Come on then. " I said talking to myself, and him. The puppy leaped inside as I tightly shut the door behind me. The used to be loud room was now quiet, except for one voice.
" Ooh What did Sayomi Chan bring home today! TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!" Death glaring the orange swirled masked man, caused him to pipe down. " Well Tobi I wonder what it is. How about you actually take the chance to look at it." Making my way to the kitchen I set down all of the supplies. Not even caring to put them away which I was not willing to do since I was the one to retrieve them. Looking down the hallway and making it to my destination.
Gripping the cold door hand, was like going into the devil's den. Leader was a man who ordered respect from everyone, and I was willing to give it to him. Just in a different way than he would expect it.
