Sorry, it's been a while.... I was procrastinating. ^.^;
Currently at the Hidden Leaf Village in Tsunade’s office. Tsunade, Jiraiya, Naruto, Sakura and Ayame were gathered around a map of the area know as the Hidden Sound Village.
“If my calculations are correct, then Orochimaru-sama’s layer is right about here.” Ayame said pointing to a spot on the map,“Of course I couldn’t be sure unless I made the trip myself.”
“That is out of the question.” Tsunade said.
“But Grandma Tsunade why can’t she come?!” Naruto demanded.
“Naruto, if Ayame came with you she would be in constant danger. It would be safer if she stayed here in the village where we can protect her and the scroll.” Jiraiya said.
“But Pervy-Sage!!!” Naruto complained.
“No buts!” Tsunade said slamming her fist down, “Naruto, and Sakura I need to speak to you two alone. Jiraiya you can stay if you want. Shizune please show Ayame to her new home and around the village.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
After being shown her new apartment, Ayame followed the young medical ninja around the village. While they walked a young woman with bleach blonde hair and dressed in purple approached them followed by two other girls.
“Hey Shizune! What’s up?” Ino asked.
“Not much, I’m just showing Ayame Hattori around the village.”
Ino turned her attention to Ayame and smiled.
“Hi! I’m Ino! This is Hinata and this is Ten Ten!” She said pointing to the two other girls, “We know all about you and how you are in danger! Don’t worry though, Hinata, Ten Ten and I will take you shopping and get you some new clothes, so maybe you can blend in easier. Oh, and if you take off that head band it will be less obvious who you are and where you come from.”
Ayame reach up her hand and covered her head band.
“Ummm.... Blend in? Wait....How do you...?”
“Well, while you were talking to Lady Tsunade, Naruto told Shikamaru about
you, who told Choji, who told Asuma, who told Kurenai, who told Kakashi, who told Gai, who told Lee, who told Neji, who told Hinata, who told Kiba, who told Shino, who told Ten Ten, who told me!” She replied gasping for air afterwards.
“.....Wow....My head hurts....”
“Now enough chit chat! Let’s go!” She said dragging Ayame away.
“But I uh.....” Ayame said desperately looking at Shizune.
“Go on! You’ll have fun!” Shizune encouraged.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“You look perfect!” Ino said with a smile.
“I look like you.... Only with black hair....” Ayame said frowning.
“Exactly! By looking like the prettiest girl in the village, no on will recognize you!”
“Wont people notice when there are two people who look like Ino?” Ten Ten questioned.
“I-I agree with Ten Ten...” Hinata said in her usual quite voice.
“I’d like to see you guys come up with a better idea!”
“Well I think that.....” Ayame started to say.
“You should try this on!” Ten Ten said shoving clothes into Ayame’s arms.
“Ok...”
They had been shopping for hours. Ayame wanted to leave. She had only purchased two pairs of pajamas and some food so far. The girls were determined to change Ayame’s look.
When she came out of the changing room she look like Ten Ten only her outfit was blue.
“Perfect!” Ten Ten said.
“That’s your outfit only in blue!” Ino said.
“Well at least she looks sorta different!”
“At least when she was dressed like me she had style!”
“Oh! You did not just diss my clothes!”
“Oh, I did!”
“Um.....Guys?” Hinata mumbled.
“WHAT?!” They shouted together.
“I think that we should let Ayame decide what she wants to do... If she wore her old clothes Orochimaru might not expect that...I mean he’s probably expecting her to change her appearance.... Besides, I heard that the Anbu Black Ops are going to be watching her. There are at least three watching us now.”
“Oooo! She’s good! How do you know that?” Ayame asked.
“I used my Byakugan.”
“Sweet!”
“Hinata is right...” Ino sighed.
“Yeah... What do you think you should do Ayame?” Ten Ten asked.
“These Anbu guys are pretty strong right?”
“Yeah...” Ino replied.
“Well, then I should be ok if I wear my own clothes.”
“Ok.”
Ayame went back into the changing room to get her clothes back on and return the clothes she tried on.
“Where to next?” She asked walking back to the group.
“Well, I guess we could-” Ino started to say.
“Hey, Ino.” Shikamaru said walking up to the group of girls.
“What do you want Shikamaru?!”
“You’re Ayame aren’t you?” he said turning to Ayame, “I’m Shikamaru Nara.”
“Yes, I’m Ayame Hattori. Pleased to meet you Shikamaru-kun.”
“Yeah, well-”
“Don’t ignore your teammate when she asks you a question!!” Ino shouted
rapidly waving her arms, “What is you want?!”
“Don’t shout....I was just about to tell you... Sheesh woman are such a drag...” Shikamaru sighed.
“Well? Get on with it.”
“As I was trying to say, the Hokage wants to see you Ayame and she asked me to escort you.”
“Why does she want to see Ayame?” Hinata asked.
“Who knows....I’m just suppost to find her and escort her there.”
“You to should, go then. You wouldn’t want to keep Lady Hokage waiting.”
“I’ll take your stuff to your house for you, Ayame.” Ino said.
“Thanks. I’ll see you guys around! I had a great time shopping with you.” Ayame said smiling.
She turn away from the group of girls and followed Shikamaru.
More later and if I procrastinate too long you can smack me!
