"Look! There's a Choji!" Sugina, one of my two best friends, pointed where a group of Naruto characters stood. There was a Choji, Sakura, Tenten and Neji.

"Oh yeah! Let's go over there. We need to get some photos," I suggested, she nodded and grabbed my wrist, dragging me forward and towards the group.

"Whoa, dudes look its Ino and... are you a gender swapped Shikamaru?" the Sakura cosplayer pointed out as we approached them.

"Yes I am. Hello," I greeted them with a smile, "you guys look awesome!"

We all spoke for a while, and we even did an Ino Shika Cho skit with a random rogue ninja who was passing by.

To impress a few people, I also did some of my martial arts and a few random flips in the middle of a foam mat. People were recording me and taking photos everywhere I went and I've never felt so famous. Sugina did some stuff too but she wasn't the most agile in terms of flips and stuff so it was pretty limited. People still enjoyed it and I loved seeing her show off some of the stuff she'd learned to do lately.

The day passed a lot faster than either of us would've liked it to but we had fun nonetheless and I decided to take a look around the last of the tables before we left to go home again, Sugina had gone off to the toilet before we met with her mum again so I was alone for the moment. There was a lot of good stuff out but nothing that particularly interested me. I'd already bought the stuff I wanted earlier in the day before so now I'm more or less just looking around. It wasn't until I noticed a small bracelet on one of the tables that I stopped.

"Would you like it?" the man running the stall asked me, picking it up and holding it out to me so I could look at it closer.

It was a silver bracelet with beautiful spirals and little silver leaves that were sticking off it a bit.

"It's beautiful!" I told him as I looked at it closer. Along the band, I noticed the words 'time, history, theme' engraved across in Japanese characters.

"For a beautiful girl with such an awesome cosplay, I'll let you have it for free!" the man smiled and placed it into my hand. It seemed forced, like he was trying to get rid of it. Weird guy. Kinda creepy.

"I couldn't--" I tried to give it back but he just insisted and then pushed my hand away. I frowned before thanking him and going to find Sugina. Easier to just take it so I don't have to deal with anymore of this dudes weirdness. When I found Sugina, we left and found her mum before leaving, beginning the drive back home.

"You were oddly silent," Sugina said as I got out of the car.

"I was?" I asked, "Don't worry, I'm just tired."

"Well rest up! You promised to come skating with me tomorrow," she reminded me, I nodded and walked into my house to be greeted by my dad.

"Look at you, famous as anything. I've seen the photos of you doing flips online. Well, my assistant saw them, he showed me them," he told me, waving his phone around before continuing up the stairs, "hope you've had a good day. We'll talk later, kid."

"Alright," I nodded before heading up to my room. Once in there I just laid on my bed and stared up at the ceiling, it was a long day and that guy at the end was just too weird for me. Speaking of that man. I rolled over and pulled the bracelet out. I twisted and tilted it around, skipping the bracelet around each finger as I examined it.

"Why did he want it gone so much?" I mumbled before dropping it on my bedside table and rolling back onto my back, "who cares. It can just go with everything else. In a box, in a drawer. Somewhere."
