The Leaf?

Ally or Enemy?

"High-ho- a-dairy-oh-" I sang.

"Will you shut up!" Sakura shouted, slapping her hand over my mouth.

"Oww." I whined, rubbing the red spot that was forming.

"You sang the whole way to this village. The least you could do was shut up before we actually get into the village." Jirayah sighed, uncovering his ears.

"Aw come on it wasn't that bad." I pouted.

"Ida your singing made me want to curl up in a ball and turn into an animal without ears." Naruto insulted.

"Like you could do better." I countered.

"I think anyone could do better." Sakura said.

"Oh yeah than you sing." I pointed at her.

"All of you just shut up already we have to go collect information." Jirayah said.

"From here?" Naruto asked.

"It's even worse than the last place." Sakura sighed.

"Well aren't you just a Debby-downer?" I taunted her. "I kind of like it. It has that peaceful aroma around it."

"Aroma is a smell, Ida." Naruto explained.

"Did you mean aura?" Jirayah asked.

"Peaceful?" Sakura also asked a question.

"No I meant aroma. You can smell the peace coming off this place." I explained, taking in a deep breath. Just as I finished breathing, people started fighting. One guy punched this dude for bumping into him and the then another guy dragged this man into a bar. "Yeah peaceful."

We all started walking through the town, dodging the fighting pedestrians. "Maybe we should skip this town, and just continue looking for the Sound VIllage." Sakura suggested. "Are you even listening?"

I looked at Jirayah, and then looked to see what he was looking at. My eyes almost burned out of my head when I saw a skany girl wearing a skimpy outfit on a billboard. "Here take this, go get something to eat, and then find the temple on the outskirts of town." Jirayah instructed.

Jirayah tossed his wallet, and I caught it. "Yeah food!" I cheered and then rushed through the town.

"Ida wait!" Sakura yelled.

"Ida!" Naruto shouted. I kept running until I came by a place that smelt really good. I walked inside, and into the middle of a fight. My ninja senses must be broken because as I opened the door, a guy was thrown and he crashed into me. Next thing I know, I being held my neck with a knife to my neck.

"One more step and I kill this girl." His gruff voice, smelt like alcohol.

"Is this a game?" I asked.

"Does it look like a game?" A women asked me.

"Sort of. If it is a game can I be that weird person that always just sits in the corner?" I asked.

"This isn't a game!" Dude with knife shouted.

"Can I still be the weird person in the corner?" I asked.

"No!" Pretty much everyone in that place shouted.

"Just give me what I want, and I'll let her go." Knife-guy ordered.

"And if we don't?" Crumb-beard challenged.

"The worlds population will be one less." Knife-guy explained, and pushed the knife farther into the skin of my neck.

"Ida!" Sakura's voice shouted.

"In here!" I called back. I heard the door open and two pairs of footsteps come rushing in.
