Back Where? [AVATAR X NARUTO]

31: Back to Sandy Sand

I've made another book...about sketches and drawings.

"A Book about [My] Sketches"

Those who read Back Where...

Should mostly come to look at it as there will be visuals of the casting characters [Ro, Lucia, Zuko etc.] in it

...

"It...it was nothing, nothing at all." I ran my fingers through my hair trying to calm my myself. I took short breaths as Zuko encouragingly rubs my back.

"Nightmare?–no, it was worse than that was it?" Zuko asks worryingly.

I nodded my head. "But it's something I'd rather tell later." I dismissed while standing back up.

I have to go back to the Hidden Sand soon for the Chuunin Exams.

Once I woken up Zuko told me to eat then rest again. I told him about going back but he wasn't rather happy about it.

"Your going back?! But you just got back! And it's dangerous!" He warns fiercely standing up from the dining table.

He slams his hands down which shakes the table and my food. I place down my chopsticks calmly then meet his eyes.

"Why do you say it's dangerous? I got more close death calls than you have this entire time we're here!"

"Which is exactly my point! You've gotten so close to death that it's almost normal and not in a good way." Zuko hissed.

An idea popped into my mind as I blinked and walked towards Zuko. I got close enough to the point  "Then go with me." I acknowledged with my gaze firm.

He looks down to me with startled eyes. "What?".

"If you're so worried then go with me," I remarked looking up to him. "If not then I can just go alone." I concluded turning around and crossing my arms.

Zuko's chin rests a top my head as his arm wrapped around m shoulders. "I'll go." he breathed as a stiffened in shock from this action. Then I slowly relaxed as a smirk grazed my lips.

I raised my over over his head and patted it. "Good." I chirped with a sly grin.

He grabs my hand and looks at me for a moment. I look back up to him then realized my actions. Red stained my cheeks as I elbowed his chest making him back away. He clutches his sides as I look to the ground covering my red face.

"Ouch!" He winced sarcastically looking for a reaction.

I turned back to him regretfully then I brushed off that feeling and smiled. "...See ya tomorrow!" I added cheerfully running upstairs.

"Hey! Ro--" I slammed to bedroom closed before he finished. 

My hand was about to grasp the doorknob but I hesitated and bit my bottom lip. I looked at the door and my hand traced the knob. I wanted to apologize but it might've been awkward. So I just left the door and walked towards the bathroom.

Tomorrow   I thought. The red haired boy, Gaara. His team and many other's are going to be here for the Exams. I can't leave a bad mark. The Hokage already approved and said I can go.
