I lazily opened my eyes because something bright hit me – it was sunlight which reached me through the window. I blinked a few times and stared at the busy village street – there was no wind or rain and the day looked very nice.
I heard a soft knock on the door.
'Wake up, Ayumi. It's about time for us to leave,' Sasori's voice echoed as his firm footsteps went further away from me.
'Alright...'
I sighed and got out of bed, taking another glance around the light room – I quite liked this place, it was a shame that I had to leave. There's nothing I can do though.
I grabbed my clothes and went to have a quick shower.
'Good morning, guuuuuys!'
I giggled slightly as the two Akatsuki members stared at me weirdly. Deidara smirked.
'Morning, Ayumi-chan. You look cheerful today, un.'
'That's right… Just look at the sky – so bright and blue! And the sun is shining! Can it get any better?'
'Yeah whatever, let's hurry up. It's already nine o'clock and we still have quite a way to go.'
'Fine fine…' I mumbled as I followed both guys downstairs.
The smile still didn't fade away from my face, I don't know why.
'Good morning. Are you leaving already?' Mizuki's voice ringed as she gave us a gentle smile.
'Yes. Here's the money,' Sasori muttered and handed something to the old lady. 'Thank you for everything. Good bye.'
'Good bye, un.'
Me and the woman exchanged warm looks – I was more than thankful to her. She was truly nice.
'Good bye. Have a safe trip!'
Sasori and Deidara went towards the door. I glanced at Mizuki and gave her my most genuine smile – I won't forget her.
'Thank you once again for all you did to me. I had lots of fun yesterday.'
'I'm glad, dear. We will meet again someday, won't we?'
I chuckled and grinned at her words. That's what I hoped for, too. I nodded to her and was about to leave, but she stopped me.
'Wait, Ayumi-chan. I would like to ask something...'
'Y-Yes?'
'Why are you three wearing the same cloaks?'
I sweatdropped slightly and glanced around to see Sasori outside with his arms crossed, a pissed look on his face. He was getting impatient. Deidara was next to him, waving at me. I waved him back.
I turned back to Mizuki and smiled softly.
'Let's just say that we all share the knowledge of pain. Good bye, Mizuki-sama.'
I bowed to the woman and before she could say anything, I left the hotel.
The sun felt even brighter than I thought. My stomach growled.
'Umm, guys... Can we stop to eat something? I'm really hungry.'
'No, we don't have time for that.'
'Pleaaaase, Sasori?'
'She's right, danna! I want to eat too, un!'
'Geez... You two are the most annoying partners in the world.'
'Thank youuu!'
The red head grunted something under his nose while me and the blondie only laughed. The three of us were about to leave this village very soon. No one knew what was waiting for us ahead.
We kept running through the woods for about an hour already. Sasori refused to fly and that made me and Deidara sweatdrop. Didn't the puppet master want to reach the Nagi Island as soon as possible? Why would he not use Deidara's clay bird then? Oh well...
The forest of pines wasn't very thick so it was easy to run there. The smell of the nature was intoxicating – so fresh and soothing... It almost felt like it contains some healing powers. Who knows? I definitely felt even better when I had reached this place.
'Ayumi, bend down!' Sasori shouted and I glanced to my left to see a kunai flying right towards me.
I dodged it, but it was close. The three of us stopped.
'What was that, un?'
'I haven't felt any suspicious chakra around us,' I muttered, staring at the tree the kunai was thrown from.
There was nothing here. Sasori was looking around, searching for the source of the attack.
'Come out, cowards, un!' Deidara yelled and furrowed his eyebrows at something behind us.
We heard a quiet chuckle and turned around to see three men smirking devilishly. Two of them were probably middle-aged, with short black hair and simple ninja clothes. However, the third one, who was standing in the middle of the other two, was different. He was wearing a simple ivory coloured yukata and dark brown sandals. Was he a ninja? I stared at his graceful face and my orbs widened slightly. The man had long silver hair which almost reached his waist and light blue eyes. His skin was very fair. He looked familiar...
'What do you need? We have no time to play around,' Sasori said in a displeased tone, crossing his arms in front of his chest. 'Or do you want to get yourself killed?'
I still couldn't take my eyes off the white haired man. He seemed to be staring at me intently too. Suddenly his lips curved into another smirk.
'Hello, Ayumi. Long time no see.'
I gulped at his cold voice which sent shivers down my spine. I felt Deidara's eyes on me but I ignored him. My mind was turning blank. Who was that man? I have never met him before, for sure. But how does he know me? And why does he remind me of...
No, that's impossible. It can't be.
The man turned to Deidara and Sasori and smiled gently.
'I don't have any business with you two. All I need is this girl,' he said calmly, pointing his finger at me.
Other two members gazed at me, their eyes were filled with questions.
'Do you know him, Ayumi?'
I shook my head slightly, unsure of what should I say. I didn't know him, really! But...
'Oh, Ayumi... Why are you being so rude? Aren't you happy to see me?'
I turned my eyes back to that long haired man who was smirking again. I have never received such harsh and resentful tone towards me from anyone... Except for my parents.
'W-Who are y-you..?'
'My my... I guess you really don't know me,' the man murmured, his smirk widening. 'I'm Daichi... Daichi Tsukiyomi. And I came here for you, Ayumi.'
