Alone [Hiatus]

Chapter 1: Their New Story Begins

"Jeez Sumaru, thanks a lot. It's your fault that I gotta do this." Ayumi muttered angrily to my fellow Hoshigakure comrade.

"No it's not! She shouldn't have been so careless!" Sumaru slightly yelled back at her.

Ayumi rolled my eyes, "Shut up. You shouldn't have let her be the last one to patrol and you shouldn't have yelled at her for trying to create a fire with a jutsu."

It was Sumaru's turn to roll his eyes this time. "Whatever. Do you want me to carry her?" He asked, trying to be considerate.

Sighing slightly, Ayumi reply "No it's alright. I got her." As she replied, she adjusted Sayomi.

"Okay well here we are.. Konohagakure. Good luck Ayu." They stopped and looked at each other.

"I thought you were supposed to deliver a message to the Hokage though?" Ayumi asked, completely confused considering the Hoshikage told Sumaru to go the Hokage with us once we arrived.

"I'm supposed to but, I feel like somethings up. I wanna get back quickly. Can you deliver the letter instead?" Sumaru pleaded.

She growled a little in annoyance, "Fine. It's not for you though, it's simply so Sayomi and I can get things done quicker." Ayumi looked away with a small blush before quickly turning back and giving him a kiss on the cheek, "Thanks for the help though, Sumaru. We appreciate it."

Sumaru blushed and looked away, grunting in annoyance and discomfort "Um.. Goodbye Ayumi. I hope you visit someday."

"I will, I promise." She stated as she took the message for the Hokage before heading the rest of the way to the gates.

As she walked up to the gates, two men stopped her. "Please state your name and busin- Is she okay?!" The one with darker hair questioned.

"She's fine. We just ran into a bit of trouble on our way. My name's Ayumi Yasha though, her's is Sayomi Ai. We're from Hoshigakure, we have a message from the Hoshikage for Lord Hokage." Ayumi answered with irritation lacing her voice. All she wanted to do was get all this business stuff over with. When you don't get a good night's sleep.. It's quite easy to be irritable.

"Okay, do you need to be taken to the Hokage?" the man with light brown hair asked.

Ayumi nodded, "If it's not too much to ask, yes."

"Not at all." The lighter haired one spoke again and transported us to the outside of the Hokage's door.

"I gotta get back to my post otherwise Kotetsu will throw a fit. I'm Izumo by the way." Izumo stated with a smile.

Right after Ayumi returned the smile, he poofed away.

Ayumi takes a deep breath and knocks on the door.

"Enter." Once she hears the old man's voice, she opens the door. As she walks in, she sweatdrops a little since she can hear Sayomi lightly snoring on her back.

"Hello Lord Hokage." Ayumi bows her head, "I apologize for not being able to bow fully. As you can see though, my sister is passed out on my back." She apologizes, hoping he doesn't see her as disrespectful or anything.

"It's alright child." He smiled.

Ayumi returned the smile, "Thank you for understanding Lord Hokage."

"You're welcome. Now, who are you?" The Hokage questions.

"Ah, I'm Ayumi Yasha. She's Sayomi Ai. Sayomi isn't my blood sister but, we've treated each other as sisters since we can remember." Ayumi answers.

The Hokage nods, "What brings you and Sayomi here then?"

Ayumi's eyes shift to the ground, "Well, our parent's are no longer with us. Sayomi and I came here because both my parents and hers spoke highly of Konohagakure so we came here as soon as Lord Hoshikage let us. Lord Hoshikage also gave us a message for you. "
