IRENE POV-TIME SKIP
A few months passed since we first came to this village, I got to say, this is one of the more prospering villages we been to.
morning came and I got up and done my hygienic routine then put on a light yellow colored T, tan shorts and a pair of blue shoes and newly bought around my neck with a dark purple hoodie jacket
then I headed to the forest border a few minutes later the shrubs started to rustle a bit, then popped out Tasokare running and leaping into my arms "hey buddy" I chuckled "how are you?" he bark in delight I spot two scroll tuck between his collar, taking one of them, opening it:
Hey there Irene-chan
I know its been a while since we last talked but you should know that a lot has happened in Suna while you were gone Garra, he's- the writing suddenly changed like someone yanked the pen and continued to write honorably in chicken scratch -Garra he went looko! he changed since you were gone!
I raised an eyebrow in confusion, my lips formed a confused
-what Kankoru is trying to say that we miss you dear and-and Garra's out of control, declaring that he would kill people left and right with his newfound blood lust-
"What?!" I huffed, scrunching my nose in confusion and shock 'Garra, my panda-chan, what happened since I left?!' I frowned, continue reading the last paragraph or so
-I was getting there Kankoru, anyways Garra misses you even tho he doesn't show it, and to do we too,we hope you're doing good and all squirt. oh and we were-we made geninn! again we miss ya.
, Temari and Kankoru
"that's cool, they probably deserve it" I commented to myself, finishing rolling up the first scroll and oping the next one and begun to read it. I intimately notice scratch out and erase marks on this one:
Hi Rina-chan,
I wish you were here with me, when you're here I feel so much at peace. I miss your angelic voice and beautiful scarlet hair. I can no longer trust my siblings or anyone in particular, your the only one I trust.
I frowned, concern flooding my eyes as I continued scanning the letter 'poor panda-chan he sounds distressed and alone.'
I miss having you here and grazing through your soft and silky But I hope you are doing alright
, Gaara
I rolled both scrolls up and putting them up in a back pocket of my shorts then headed home, Tasoka walking close behind. grabbing a quick bit at the ramen stand, where I founded the blonde sitting hey naruto I waved
"Ira-chan hi" he said loudly I cringed a bit for the loudness
"one bowl of rice noddles please" I said to the owner, teuchi, his name was which I learned a few first weeks I was here. taking a seat next to the blonde
"What have you been up to Naru-chan, still causing trouble I guess." I asked the grinning blonde
"yeah, I'll show everyone that I will be hokage believe it"
"well, okay" I simply answered
"so did you have any friend back where you lived" Naruto asked
"hm" I hummed
"do you have any other friends?
the blonde asked again
"yeah this cute redhead from suna, where I,lived before here. he was one of my closest friend"
"I would like to meet them sometimes they sound nice"
"y-yep" I said awkwardly remembering what Temari and Kankurō said "maybe someday" I said as my bowl came out
ANOTHER TIME SKIP
I was sitting on a rooftop staring up at the burnt ash orange sky with hints of yellows purples and reds I smiled softly to myself. remembering the sunsets in Suna
FLASHBACK
"hey Panda-chan , what's wrong? Its ok I'm here, you could talk to me. you know that, right." I put a comforting hand on his shoulder
his sea foamed eyes meet hers filled with sadness in them I- he could barley form a sentence
"was it those meanie, don't listen to them. You can be can defy those who ridicule you and make it. Show them that your not that person how they think, show them your strong in your own rights" I said with a motivating tone
"T-th-thank you" the dark redhead boy stuttered
lightly hmed and staring in his vibrant green eye that lacked the spark of happiness that he only showed when hes around her and a few others "Don't be Panda-chan, I'm here" she said in a soft and comforting tone, a small solemn smile appear on his face.
I slowly embraced him "shh its alright, I know your gonna be the strongest I know you are" she reassured now "let me see it" I order in a soft yet commanding tone, he stretched out an arm awe she frowned let me she begun to wrap bandages that she had in hand and begun to hum
GARRA'S POV
I suddenly jumped a bit when I felt a hand on my shoulder, suddenly relaxing once I realize it was Rina-chan
'hurry up and kill her while you have the chance' I suddenly heard the un-pleasurable voice of Shukaku, the one-tails say
'no I would never her, she's my friend' I replied back
Her touch was soft as the gentlest of breezes of suna's cold nights and her voice, soft and angelic for she is his only friend he had as no one wants to friends with a monster like him no one, except her. she started to sing lightly while tending to my scratches
♪I wanna hide the truth♪
♪I wanna shelter you♪
♪But with the beast inside♪
♪There's nowhere we can hide♪
her singing is like a gift from the heaven, coupled with her beautiful red silky locks of vibrant scarlet blood red hair swaying in the light breeze of suna.
'If you let her get close she'll betray you just like the others, kill her, kill her now. before she could hurt you' the one tails said but I was to infatuated in Irene's beautiful voice to listen to him
♪Don't wanna let you down♪
♪But I am hell bound Though this is all for you♪
♪Don't wanna hide the truth♪
she's only the only one I could call a friend, someone who makes me feel less alone in this cruel world. and making me actually feel some semblance of sanity like I can actually be in control when ever she's around
'I knew you were weak letting your guard down ,for this weakling girl, how pathetic' he mocked
♪They say it's what you make♪
♪I say it's up to fate♪
♪It's woven in my soul♪
♪I need to let you go♪
her fingers gently graze my sleepless insomniac filled eyes'its like she speaking to my soul, like she could read me inside and out' I thought as I stared back at her beautiful vibrant wisteria ones. lost for words to say the least.
♪Your eyes, they shine so bright♪
♪I wanna save that light♪♪I can't escape this now♪♪Unless you show me how♪
she's caught me like a magic spell was placed upon me and enhancing her beauty under the clear moonlit sky filled with tons of twinkling stars that danced in the night sky
I feel myself being pull me close, Rina pulling me closer into her warm body with a gentle arms
laying me down on her lap glancing down at me with soft eyes as her gentle gaze lands on me. I felt my cheeks heat up a bit
♪When you feel my heat♪
♪Look into my eyes♪
♪It's where my demons hide♪
♪t's where my demons hide♪
I soon noticed that for once I didn't feel the anguish and hatred of the one-tails from within I actually felt at peace since a very long time
♪Don't get too close♪
♪It's dark inside♪
♪It's where my demons hide♪
♪It's where my demons hide♪
she soon finished singing and I realized that I didn't hurt anymore like physically hurt at least, i bull back the banged a bit and see that it was like they were never there in the first place
'did you, heal me?' I asked the one tails quizzically asked genuinely confused
'Think again brat' he said with a bit of a sneered
'was this cause of her then?' I questioned no one in particular, staring down at my now healed healed injuries.
"hey, panda-" she said which immediately broke me from my train of thought "-isn't the sunset beautiful?" she said staring at the pastel painted sky its like a work of art "How the purples and reds and yellow and oranges, they blend and make this pretty abstract array of beautiful colors. Whatta think its beautiful, right. It kinda reminds me of when I first meet Tasoka-chan" she said referring to her wolf like partner
yeah, it is I simply answered glancing at her then glanced up at the transiting sky
\\\\\\\\\IRENE'S POV///////////
"hey, panda-" I started isn't the sunset beautiful? I asked, staring at the pastel painted sky, taking in its beauty "How the purples and reds and yellow and oranges, they blend and make this pretty abstract array of beautiful colors. Whatta think its beautiful, right. It kinda reminds me of when I first meet Tasoka-chan!" I said, remembering how I found that pouch under a similar dusk evening
"yeah, it is" he simply answered as we watched the sunset together
〉〉〉⁽END⁾〈〈〈
I let out a small reminiscing smile as I sighed softly to myself
"Ira-chan what aee you doing up there?" a certain blonde yelled
"waiting for you, silly" I chuckled "now c'mon slowpoke" I teased
