Chapter Eleven

“Dude, Kakashi, do you even lift?”

I stared long and hard at my friends, what even happened?

Taylor was poking Kakashi’s arm and laughing like an idiot. Sakura was trying her best to not sling herself all over Sasuke; said boy was standing straight and staring straight ahead with a red face. Finally, Shikamaru was leaning against a tree, just like Kakashi.

My sensei sighed, “Taylor, if you don’t mind, I would appreciate it if you didn’t—”

He was cut off by Taylor’s finger getting shoved in his mouth, taking the mask in as well. His one black eye shot over to me, silently pleading for help. I giggled slightly at the picture before me, everybody’s head shot up to see me.

“Kara . . .” Sakura started.

“Why are you all wet?” Taylor finished for her, smirking at me.

Shikamaru and Sasuke both looked to one another and to Taylor, they shared a silent conversation.

‘Oh, boy, I had a feeling about this girl,’ Hitora sighed.

‘What kind of feeling?’ I asked.

‘Just . . . just a feeling.’

“Well—”

“I pulled her in by accident,” Nakashi broke in, glancing up at me. “I actually was playing around and pulled her in, sorry.”

Everybody nodded to me and then looked at the ground; it was kind of awkward until I heard Taylor speak under her breath.

“Didn’t sound like you were sorry . . . .”

I shivered suddenly, rubbing my uncovered arms as the sky became dark, I guess we won’t make it to our destination tonight. Nakashi came up and hugged me from behind; she whispered something to herself before gripping my hand and leading me to her carriage.

“We’ll be drying off inside,” she assured my team; Kakashi looked blankly at her and nodded towards me.

She opened the door, and lightly pushed me in; I stumbled at the numbness my legs got when the cold air chilled them. Inside the cart were a small couch and a small refrigerator, along with chairs and a bedroom. Nakashi took my hand and led me to the bedroom, after opening the door she allowed me in first. There was a big bed, and I mean a big bed, in the middle of the room, a small side table off to the left and a small bathroom to the right.

“Here, sit down and I’ll get you a change of clothes,” she quickly raced around the room to pick out clothes long enough for me to wear. “And I’ll get you that drink I owe you,” she winked the last part.

I steadied myself on the bed and gently smoothed the pants against my skin, yes it was still wet, but I might as well make myself warm.

Nakashi came back holding a towel and another change of clothes. “Here! Change into these and dry yourself, I’ll get your clothes dry tonight!”

I smiled gently at her, “Thanks Nakashi, I appreciate it, even though you did kinda pull me in.” I laughed and took the materials from her.

“Akira,” she smiled with the same gentleness.
