My bandanna slips off my head as the bloke punches down the top of my head, the hit forces my head down but he's the one who cries out it pain.

"What the hell!?" he clenches his stinging fist "You got metal in your head or something!?"
"Heh nope, just chakra." I state straightening back up hiding the instant headache I've been given

He goes to hit me again but this time I'm quick enough to grab his fist. He becomes frustrated and tries to punch me again with his free hand, but before he could Kiba appears from the side kicking him in the head. The guy skids across the ground from the force of the kick but he soon gets back up dusting himself down. I glance over at the others; Hinata, Shino and Kurenai are busy restraining the others, Fritter is still sat next to Sapphire who's unconscious but still breathing.
Phew, she's only knocked out. I sigh in relief then look at our opponent I want to beat this guy senseless but now isn't the time to lose it.

"Yo Lupi." Kiba gets my attention "Remember what you did to me during training?"
I quickly recall when I tackled him tipping over my shoulders with a nod.
"Think you can do that to him?"
I look at the man who now has his guard up
If I grab him in the right place with enough momentum then yeah.
I nod to Kiba again to confirm it.

We both dash towards our target, heading straight for him, the man smugly grins bracing himself for a head on attack or so he thought. Just before we reach him Akamaru launches at his head from the left side. This distracts him enough for me to duck down and ram into his legs, using the momentum to lift him off his feet and tip him forwards over my shoulders. As I do, Kiba jumps up and kicks the guy in the face pushing him backwards so I pull his legs down and slam his back onto the ground. The man lays there winded as Kiba lands onto his chest, pinning the man down holding a kunai to his neck. To that, the bloke surrenders and Kurenai gets him to his feet and restrains him with the other thugs.
Sapphire!
I rush towards her and check her over before holding her in my arms.

"-I'm fine, Boss.-" she gravels coming to
"Good." I smile stroking her
"-Told you she was ok, Boss.-" Fritter states
"Thanks Frit." I stroke her too
I can't let myself snap, gotta stay in control.

I stand back up, still holding Sapphire, and head over to Majiko and the others while Shino keeps an eye on the captives.

"Are you all right, Chino-san?" asks Kurenai
"Yes, I'm fine, thanks to all you dears." the old lady gratefully smiles
"Especially Lupi here." Kiba smiles slapping me on the back "Great way to use your head."
Oh haha. I pick my bandanna up off the floor.
"L-Lupi-san, your head, it's bleeding." Hinata notices
"Huh?" I touch it and look at the blood on my fingers "So it is?"
I didn't realise it was bleeding.
"H-here, let me treat it." she says getting her first aid kit out
"Using your head to block a hit like that wasn't a very good idea." Kurenai states knowing how stupid it was of me "You could've been seriously hurt."
"Y-yeah, I know." I sheepishly reply while being treated "I just knew I wasn't going to be quick enough to use my hands so I gathered chakra to my head hoping it would reduce the impact."
"Still, it must've hurt." Kiba states
"Heh, yeah got one cracking headache from it."
They all just look at me with mixed feelings of being impressed and knowing it could've ended badly.

Once Hinata finishes tending to my head, we continue to escort Majiko to her village leaving the thugs behind tied up and knocked out. A few more hours of walking and we get to her village just after noon; it's similar to the leaf village, people are bustling about on their daily business, shops and stalls line the streets, houses on the off streets and spread out all over, trees are dotted about where there's room for them, there's a playground near the school, the only differences is that there isn't a river flowing through and they don't have faces carved into the mountains.
It really is like a smaller version.
Majiko continues to lead us, like a tourist guide, she talks about the village: the best place to get certain foods, clothes, yeah the works.
I hope we get there soon, my legs are starting to ache.
We stop at an old square archway that gives access to a courtyard, as we follow Majiko through we're greeted by an young man.

"Welcome back, Ossan."
"Hello my dear." Majiko replies "This is my grandson, Kuroseki." as she turns to us
"Nice to meet you." Kurenai replies along with Hinata
"Yo." says Kiba raising his hand
Me and Shino just quietly nod our greeting.
"Kuroseki, these fine shinobi are from Konohagakure that have escorted me here." Majiko informs him
"Thank you for bringing Ossan back home safely." Kuroseki politely bows
"The pleasure's all ours." Kurenai states
"They've done such a good job." Majiko smiles "How about you all stay and eat with us?"
Please say yes, my legs are about to give way.
"Sorry Chino-san, we can't stay we need to head back now." Kurenai politely declines "But thank you."
Damn.
"Aww that's a shame." Majiko replies "Have a safe trip."

We all say goodbye as we turn to leave and head down out of their courtyard. My legs give way as we get to the archway but I manage to use it to catch myself. Pain shoots from my hips but thankfully the others don't notice as they're used to me toppling over slightly. As we walk along the street leading out of the village, I don't want to bother the others so I walk along behind the team struggling to walk as normal as possible.
Stupid legs.
Kiba and Hinata walk on in front with Kurenai and Shino behind them, I can't see his face clearly but I can feel Shino glancing back at me ever so often.
Still got your eye on me, huh?
As we continue walking along heading out of the village, I topple over a few times along the way but manage to stop myself from completely dropping but eventually end up walking with a limp. The others don't seem to notice but with Shino keeping an eye on me there's no way he missed it. I just hope he doesn't make a fuss. We walk down the footpath down the hills until we enter the huge forest that divides this village from Konohagakure.

"Ok, before we head off home let's take a little break." Kurenai suggests stopping
"-Finally.-" Sapphire aspirates
"-What're you on about Saph?-" says Fritter as they both jump down off of me "-Boss has been carrying us the whole time.-"
"-Exactly.-" Sapphire states shaking her body
"-Oh.-" Fitter replies with a sweatdrop
"Finally!" Kiba stretches out his frustration "We can go our own pace once we get going."
"Arf, arf." Akamaru agrees
"It is important to slow down instead of rushing around all of the time." Shino states
"Not for me and Akamaru." Kiba grins "Right, bud?"
"Arf!"
Shino leaves it there and leans against the tree behind him.
"Shino does have a point, Kiba." Kurenai states some words of wisdom "We can miss things if we're in too much of a hurry."
"Besides, not all of us are a ball of energy." I state sitting down on the ground with my hips and knees cracking
Owww.
"That's true." Kurenai smiles "You've done well to keep up with us today, Lupi-san."
"I try." I reply
"But you were struggling just now." Shino states
I knew he noticed.
"What do you mean, Shino-kun?" Hinata asks with concern
"Lupi-san has been limping all the way back here from Chino-ossan's home." he explains
"Huh really?" Kiba scratches his head "I didn't notice."
"She was walking along behind us trying to hide it so you wouldn't have." states Shino
Kiba is irritated by that statement.
"You should've spoke up about it, Lupi-san." Kurenai states
"Y-yeah.." I reply sheepishly

After having a rest and some food, we're ready to set off again. As the others get up and grab their things, Kiba and Akamaru stretch as I try to get myself up.
Oh crap.
My legs have gone stiff and I can't muster up the strength in them to stand back up. I look to see if there's any branches low enough for me to pull myself up with my arms but, nope, they're all out of reach.

"Ugh, I shouldn't have sat down." I say thinking out loud
"Is there something wrong, L-Lupi-san?" Hinata asks worried
Did I just say that out loud?
"You all right, Lupi?" Kiba asks walking up to me
I look away embarrassed knowing that I'm going to be teased for this.
"I...can't....get up." I say quietly looking down at the ground
"Heh, I heard ya." he grins

He takes his hand from his hoodie pocket and holds it out for me to grab, when I do he pulls me up to my feet and helps me steady myself.

"You're just like an old lady." he laughs
"Shut up."
Sorry peeps, I lost my motivation for this and struggled to get my brain back into gear for it (mainly coz I'd got bored of Naruto) but I'm still gonna continue with this.

Lupi, Sapphire & Fritter belong to me
Naruto and everything in it belongs to Masashi Kishimoto
