YOSH! Lets start reading :O

The adventure begins!

After they had gathered all of their Ninja-stuff, Yuma and Naruto met at the Konha main gate.

Yuma looked into blue eyes, Naruto into deep green ones.

Why him?

"... so, do you got everything you need?" Naruto asked mumbling, starring at ground.

"... no, you know?" Yuma answered, giving him an "oh really?" look.

"Hmpf"

Without another word, they left the city and walked quietly side by side, feeling kind of awkward. Normally, there should have been at least three Ninjas for such an important mission, but who knows why Tsunade only sent two? Maybe because of their very sensitive client? Or maybe because of some other … unknown reasons? But well, we should trust our beloved Hokage!

Yuma triggered the view from the ground and gazed at Naruto. Without looking up he asked "why are you gazing?"
"I didn't gaze"

He stopped abruptly "What's your problem?!" Naruto yelled and stared right at her eyes "What is wrong with you?! Since we met, you are just being an.. ass! Normally, it would be me who behaves like that but... this time! AHH! You're pissing me off!" Naruto put his hands back in his pocket and continued walking, leaving her behind. Yuma gasped angrily and ran after Naruto. With flushed cheeks she managed to say "but.. but- hey would you wait?! You damn jerk!" she was so frustrated...

After a while she gave up on making him mad. Why am I doing this? Is it the first time I really … care about someone? Naruto did his best, to not yell at Yuma again... or to fight her or anything... he didn't want to mess up their 'relationship' any further.

After hours of walking, when the sun had already started setting, Yuma lost her self in the hypnotic beats of their steps, so she didn't even notice when cold raindrops fell on to the dry ground and the pleasant smell of summer rose in the humid air.

"Ohm... Yuma? Heeloo? Its raining?" Naruto stood under some tree beside the main path

"Ahhh... What? Oh boy! Dammit! Ähh hehe... ugh... I AM SOAKING WET?!" she felt the heat of embarrassment crawling up her cheeks. "You're such a dummy! I would have NEVER expected something like that to happen YOU! AHAHAA!" Naruto just couldn't help but burst out laughing. Yuma crossed her arms sulkily and stared at the opposite direction. "... soo, what should we do know? It's freezy... brrr..." she said, her whole body was shaking. "...phiew! ...I don't want to walk when it's soo rainy!" he complained and looked at the black clouds.

"Mmhmm... Maybe we should rest for now?" "Yhea... ahh I wish some Sensei would be with us! They would know exactly what to do now!" "I guess you haven't brought a tent with you?" "Nooop, you?" "No... I... wasn't thinking" I was waaay to nervous about that whole crap with that Naruto bastard..."Hey! I got my rain coat from last time! Well it's a little... dirty but okay! Hehe" he put it on and looked evilly at Yuma "Soo, hehe, what are you going to do, 'buddy'" She looked at the ground, freezing and trembling. But she took a deep breath and released her arms, trying to control her shiver.

She took a step to the street and looked back at him "I am going to walk and catch a cold, what else?" Yuma continued walking. "Hey-! Wait!" "Would you hurry up a bit?" Yuma said angrily but with long steps, Naruto had caught up to her, had grabbed her arm and pulled her under the coat. "Wha-What the hell are you-" "Shut up and walk! You don't need a cold right now... it's going to be a looong mission soo." Naruto said, his voice trembled, because of anger and embarrassment.

"HÄH?" Yuma jumped some centimeters away from him and pulled a grimace of terror. "Do you think I am enjoing this? Although I can't stand you... you are still my comrade! SO STOP BEING SO UNSOZIAL, YOU ASS! ONLY TO THE NEXT VILLAGE, OKAY?"

"O-okay" she said looking down to her feet, asking her self why she had to be so... cold to EVERYONE. He came closer and put his arm around her shoulder. "Hey thats not necessary" Yuma said, feeling a little uncomfortable. "Hey! Don't get the wrong idea! It's just.. I am able to walk now! You're so-"

"Just shut up and walk already!"

The heat of a body... how long haven't I felt that? When was the last time I was so near to a human body? 10 years? More? When was the last time I hugged my mother? … did I ever have any friends at school? Like all the other girls? I never had sleepovers like Ino. I never had fights because of that Sasuke boy. I never cared... So this is how it feels like. If you're not alone. She smiled a little but her smirk faded again No, not jet. There is no friend. THIS is only because of a mission, right? And it was like someone else's voice appeared in her thoughts ...but try to make friends this time. Here is your chance. Give your best to keep every single human being, that knows you, close to your heart. Show them who you really are! Break through your own cold walls, or else, the darkness of loneliness is going to break you from within. Try... try to change that...okay? It sounded like... Naruto?

Xxx

After they finally reached the next village, they headed straight to the hot springs and booked a room for two. They had those nice, cheap Shinobi offers.

Puuh, I am glad... so I won't catch a cold after all... good this … is so nice warm. I guess it has been some years since I last visited the hot springs. The warm water felt good on Yuma's skin and the deep coldness seemed to disappear.

After the refreshing bath she walked to her room, put her clothes on and laid down on the futon and fell asleep after some minutes.

"WAKE UP, NARUTOO!" Yuma yelled and threw a bottle of water at the snoring boy. She had already gathered her things and was ready to go. "Naah... Five more minutes...!"

After half an hour they were finally marching on. They walked for hours. Than they had a break and they continued walking. After 14 hours they had finally reached their destination. "So, I am pretty curious how that prince Kouru is! He seemed to be a very important person, right?" Naruto said as the coach arrived. "Tss probably just another snobby jerk..." Yuma said starring at the red haired guy who got out of his carriage to greet his Ninja escort. He rushed to them and scratched the back of his head "Hey guys! I am Kouru, nice to meet ya!"

WOOHOO NOT AS EXPECTED, I KNOW :D
