9Note: I'm so so so so sooooo sorry this is short and has taken a looong time for me to publish. I was trying to finish my first year of college and now I'm working so its hard to get the chapters out. I really hope you like it so far. I'm having a hard time writing so ANY suggestions or opinons would be highly helpful. The more help I get, the quicker another chapter will come out! Thank you!
In all honesty, I am not sure what I should do. Kakashi had left my company as soon as we arrived. Well, I'm lying, he did say goodbye and all. He was also technically the mission's leader, so he did have to report to Lady Tsunade. Not that his priority would be just that. If there's one I've learned about the unusually spiky haired ninja it would be his horrible tendency to be late. I could never figure out what the hell that man was doing for those long periods of time. I personally believe that he just forgets what he's doing and stares into space for hours like a dumb ass.
The thought of Kakashi made me giggle. He was certainly a tempting challenge. He didn't seem like a very easy case to crack, but I'm sure I could handle him after all…No! I smacked my face to bring myself back to reality. You can't afford to think of men at a time like this! F-o-c-u-s. You are Shadow Shimizu, Jonin of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. You parents moved you away from the leaf when you first became a Genin. You returned after you parents died on a mission. Your goal is to actively serve as a Kunochi of the lead until you're of age to retire. Yep. Keep that in mind. That is your mission. Nothing else…not even men…no no… not even how yummy…and nice…and sexy…and how much of a challenge they are.
I set in foot of my small apartment located near the lake in town. It wasn't anything special. It was just a regular one bedroom, one bathroom apartment. Nothing fancy, nothing run down. Perfect, for someone like me. What should I do now? It was about noon when Kakashi and I got back. Mechanically, I started to put up all of my things: weapons (two swords, kunias, shirken, the workds), medical supplies, extra cloths, tent, toiletries and so on. By the time I took a shower and ate my dinner it was my bed time. I was more than happy to snuggle up in my nice warm bed. Truth be told, forest floors suck as beds.
The next few weeks I stuck to my apartment waiting for further orders from the Hokage. I really needed some friends. Yes, I was friendless. Well not bad…I had acquaintances I suppose….or I guess you would call them comrades…I'm hopeless. I only went out for food, or to train in all honesty. What else was a 24 year old supposed to do? Currently, I was sitting on the sofa, watching one of the Sex and the City movies, and eating a big bowl of ice cream. In thirty minutes, at ten, I would go to bed…and it was Saturday…really Shadow? I needed a man or something…or friends. I could never be happy in this village if I sat around on my ass all day id I didn't have a mission. I have just the solution….I need a drink.
Last note: Thank you all who have added my story to their alerts and those who review. It makes me super happy :)
