We had been walking for about five hours when Kiba started to complain about needing a break. "Oh come on Shino it will take us 3 days with breaks to get there we can't just appear there in a day." Kiba's last attempt got through to Shino. "Fine let's take a break. Five minutes." Shino said. Hinata found a tree with nice shade and sat down, Kiba just fell onto his back next to her, and Shino leaned on the tree. I didn't want to sit I have been sitting down for the last week and I need to do something. So I began to practice chakra control as I walked up the tree I sent different amounts of chakra to my feet to see what would happen. I did the same with my hands as well. "I can't wait to see what Suna looks like." Hinata said as she took a sip of water. "It's all sand and rock nothing special." Kiba said as he played with a leaf on the ground. "When will we start to see the desert?" I asked as I walked down the tree. "It should be another day till we hit the sand, we will continue today until the sun is about to set." Shino said as he bounced off the tree to start back on the road. "It hasn't been five minutes yet." Kiba shouted as he sat up. "Yes, it has. Come on we got land to cover." I said as I walk past him. "You just want to see your boyfriend." Kiba mocked out. I blushed a little but turn my head to say "No, I just want to get some nice rest tonight so I want to find a good place.". Hinata giggled as she joined me at the front of the group. Our set up is me at the front as well as Hinata. She can keep a lookout in front of us if one of us feel like someone is coming our way and me next to her so if we were surprise attacked I'll be a quick counter. Shino is at the back and Kiba in front of him. Shino can keep a good eye out from the back due to his bugs can spread out all around us and behind us, Kiba is in front of him because if we get attacked from the front and if there is more then I can handle he will jump in since he is the second-fastest in the group.

As the sun descended in the sky we continued to walk in silence. Expecting anything to happen. "Hey (Y/N)?" Hinata said as she looked at me. I hummed out for her to continue "How is it like dating a guy that is 3 to 4 days away from you?" She asked. "I wish I could see him every day but the truth is our job is important to our villages. He is needed at Suna and I'm needed at the leaf. I would say it is hard but I'm still trying to figure it out myself." I said after thinking about it. I wasn't sure how to feel about it. We did say we will make time to see each other but how. When will we have time? I asked myself I sighed and Hinata patted my shoulder to reassure me it will be okay. I smiled and looked at the sky to see that we almost have an hour or two before the sunsets. "Hey, Shino I think we should start setting up for the night." I hollered back. Shino looked up to the sky and nodded his head. We all started to look for a good place to set up camp after he nodded his head. "How about here?" Hinata asked as she found a grass section under some trees that had enough room for two tents and a small fire for us to cook something. "I would say yes." I said as I look over to the two boys as they nodded their heads in return. "Hinata you are in charge of setting up the tents, Kiba gather sticks for a campfire, (Y/N) see if you can find a river to fish, if not find something we can eat for the night, and I will go survey the area." Shino said as he jumped into a tree and disappearing. I walked further into the forest to find a river or something to eat. I heard Kiba in the distance complain about how he is always stuck on gathering firewood. I smiled, it's good to be back out.

After I found a river a manage to catch eight fish, two for everyone. The only bad thing about it is that the sun had set and I was walking back in the dark to the campgrounds. As I walked around I was looking out for any kind of light source from a fire. It felt like I walk around in circles till I saw a light source and I walked towards it. As I got closer the voices seemed unrecognizable. I kept walking towards the light but I pulled out a knife just in case. As I was just outside the campground I hid behind a tree. I looked around the tree to see no one was there, but this wasn't my campground. I didn't get a good feeling being here so I turned around to leave. "Boo." A man's voice said in my ear. My fist immediately went straight for his face. My small hand was now in a strong grip as I dangled from the hand that was holding me. "Wow, now I could smell you from a mile away with all these fish on you. Now, why are you coming this way?" Ask the blue man. Luckily he hasn't seen my headband as it was covered. I was going to play innocent so I can get away from this man. "I got lost trying to find my dad after our fishing trip. I'm trying to get to the road." I said as I tried to pull my arm away from him. He looked to be deep in thought "I can show you where the road is as long as you give me some fish. You have a lot there." He said as he let go of my arm and I fell to the ground. "How many do you want. I still have my siblings to feed." I said as I rubbed my hand thinking this is working. "Two." He said. I should be fine without eating tonight. "Okay." I said as I started to take two fish off the line as the blue man danced around. Once the fish were out of my hand and on his fire he said. "Come one now let me show you the road." He said as he walked out of his campground.

I need to act like a kid that doesn't know how to move around at night. But how? I questioned as we walked in the forest. An idea popped into my head. I started to trip over every little thing and almost run into things as to seem I could see very well in the dark. He took notice but seemed to not bother with it. I stopped for a little as I looked down at the ground to seem like I had more focus to make sure I didn't trip. "What is your name." He asked. "Aimi." I said as I looked up to answer him. As soon as I said that I tripped on a big tree root and face planted into the ground behind him. Ouch. All I could hear was him laughing. He knelt down and said "Hope on so you don't fall again.". I wanted to refuse but knowing it would break my cover I climbed on his back. "What is your name?" I asked as I crossed my arms around his neck. "Kisame." was all he said. I was thinking about his name and it's meaning. "Does your name mean Demon Shark?" I asked after I thought about it. He seemed surprised I knew something like that. "How did you know?" He asked. "I read a lot of books father brings home I guess it's something I found through the books." I smiled out. He grinned as his sharp teeth showed. We made it to the road and he sat me down. "Do you know how to get home from here?" He asked after standing back up. I smiled and said, "Yes, I do.". "Well get going now before your siblings starve." Kisame said as he turned back into the forest. "You're not a demon, you're my hero, Kisame!" I yelled and turned around and started to run. What I didn't notice is him turning back around and smiling at me with a state of shock as well write on his face.

I ran for a while till I saw my campground and a very worried looking Hinata. "(Y/N)!" She yelled as soon as she saw you. "I got lost. Sorry for the worry." I said as she was hugging me. "But I brought back food.". A look of relief washed over everyone's faces as I walked into camp and start to set up the fish to be cooked. "There is two for everyone. Please enjoy." I said as I stood up from the fire and started to head to my tent. "Where are your two?" Shino asked. "I wasn't that hungry so I'll be heading to bed now." I said as I continued to walk to my tent. Shino didn't question further and just let me go. I needed some sleep anyway. I crawled into the tent and took off my shoes and left them outside the tent. I got dressed in my pajamas and crawled into the sleeping bag to get warm. As I started to fall asleep I had a bad feeling about tomorrow...
