Aki's purple hair flowed through the air. Her crimson eyes scanning the area for people. However dispite how bad she wanted to find someone there wasn't a soul in site. Her feet carried her body on.
Aki had been traveling alone for a long time and couldn't wait until she came across a town to sleep in. Her feet were aching and she hadn't acutally stoped in two or more days. Aki couldn't help but feel that she wasn't going to have any luck again tonight but she was wrong. Just over the horizen was a small town that she could lodge in.
With aki so excited she forgot about all the pain she was in and happily ran down the large hill to the village. It had never occured to her that most of the people may not accept her because of her home village and it's history with this specific village. However, she was soon to find out that exact truth.
The doors and windows of houses were shut on her. Not one person would take her in, not even the lodge. Or so she thought.
As Aki slowly walked down the street hoping that just one family would allow her to come in she spotted some girls and two guys walking up the street as well. As she counted them she noticed that they all wore the same head band, just in different places. Noticing the sign she let out a sad sigh. It was the village hidden in the leafs. The exact village that her village, the sand village had tried to demolish.
"Great... just great... why did it have to be this village mine tried to destroy.... the first village I come across and it doesn't help" Aki had began to mubble to herself as she walked farther.
"umm... you know, I would say that you shouldn't talk to your self but I do it too so I'm not really worried about that but I am worried about the condition you're in. you seem rather beat up. How long have you been walking?" An eye the same color as Aki's was looking at her. The other one was covered by the girl's hair. The girl was rather nice to Aki even though she must have seen the headband.
"Misora!!! What are you doing?! Come on! She can take care of herself! she's from the sand village!" The guy with the spikey hair was the one to yell back at the black haired girl. They had seemed to be together to Aki by the way they were talking and and all that.
"So!? What's it matter what village she's from!? I don't care if she wants to kill me right now! She's injured and i'm not just going to let her walk on and pass up this good opportunity for a good nights sleep and treat ment! I'm not cold hearted like everyone else in this village!" The girl that was apparently named misora had already started to defend the stranger.
"Kaui, Misora's right. Just because she's from the sand village doesn't mean that she's bad or anything." The girl with the red tips had spoken up this time and rushed over to help Misora.
"But! Ack! Kuro!" The other boy had spoken this time but the one named Kuro just ignored her.
"So, why don't you come back to my house. I would say you could go to Kuro's here but she already has alot of people in her house. Infact, I live alone and it's a rather large house. You can even take a bath if you would like" Was Aki hearing right, did Misora just offer her house to this complete stranger when not even a lodge had welcomed her in.
"it's true. I would offer but my house is so full everyone that lives there." As aki took it, Kuro would have offered her house if it wasn't full or anything. In all honesty, Aki couldn't believe that there would be people in this village who be so nice to her seeing as though she came from the sand village.
"Yes. Thank you so much. I was starting to doubt that I culd find any where to stay tonight." Aki was so grateful to them and it showed in her voice. Gladly, she turned around and followed them back to Misora's house.
