Chapter 17- Stealth and Speed
Jessica's POV
Sasuke walked me home but no one spoke a word. I can't stop thinking about that Gaara guy and when I first saw him, I felt something unexpected feelings... like I had known him for a long time and that I had... sort of like him? Not sure if that's the feelings but it's so confusing.
ARGHHH! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?! I DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM AND YET, IT FEELS LIKE I KNOWN HIM FOR A LONG TIME!
To get my mind out of him, I grabbed my bow and arrow then jump up to my roof. I then put out a dart board and put down my bow and arrow. I made about fifty clones of me and sent them into different place around the village. Whenever I'm bored or I can't go to sleep, I do this every night to practice my speed and stealth.
Of course at night everyone will be sleeping so it will be a perfect time for me to test my stealth. I always wear my heaviest shoes so it will be more challenging. At the first time I made about hundreds of people freaked out because I make a loud of noise on their roof. As day pass, I keep practising until the people that get disturbs by my noise decreases.
I also learn how to decrease the noise while I land. With that, I only disturb about three to five people each time I do this. To be more challenging tonight, I added a very heavy steel armor on both of my ankle. Then I was finished. I picked up my bow and arrow and looked around where all of my clones were.
I took a deep breathe then off I go. I grabbed the first arrow and aimed for the closest clone. Then another down below. I went from up the roof, down the road and up the light of the road. The only place where I didn't send my clones was the place where there's no light and it's only darkness.
Arrows after arrows I let them go. It was a good thing that I haven't make a noise up the roof. It just means that I'm getting better at this. I kept going until I shot fifty arrows and made fifty more clones and kept going. This kept going for about three hours now and the moon was up.
I made like 350 clones and I'm almost running out of arrows so I made it count. Now I only have eight arrows left so I went from roof top to roof top, aiming my arrows to where my clone was until I went to a higher roof top and aimed my arrow to a familiar person, starring up the moon. It was definitely him... red spiky hair... Gaara.
I panted and caught my breathe for a while lowering my bow and arrow. When all of the sudden, I felt something crawling down my legs. I look down and it was sand. It keep crawling until it was up to my waist and now on my body. Gaara stood up then turned around. As soon as he saw me, he widened his eyes then the sands dropped on the ground.
"I-it's you. What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" He asked and I sighed for I thought I might have to fight him.
"I thought you're going to kill me back there before." I replied avoiding his question.
"I'll ask again, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"I should be asking you the same question."
"I suffer from insomnia so I never sleep." I widened my eyes but I walk past him and sat at the edge of where he was sitting before.
He soon joined me. We stared at the moon. There was a long silent between us until I broke it.
"Do you like watching the moon?" I ask and I heard him sighed.
"Yes I do for I used to do it before with my best friend." He answers and somehow, it made my heart skips a beat.
What the heck is this feeling? Why am I feeling this? How could this be happening? ARGHH! I keep asking myself a question when I don't even know the answers.
"You haven't answer my question." He said snapping me back to reality.
"Huh?"
"I ask you what were you doing here in the middle of the night?"
RIGHT! I almost forgot! I made all of my clones come to where I am now and waited for all of them. Gaara had a confuse face as my clones keep coming and filling up the roof top. Soon every clones were here.
"I was practicing my skills at stealth and speed. So far so good. I always do it when I'm bored and I cannot go to sleep." I explained and he nods.
"I see." Was all he said.
I looked at all of my clones and observed my aim. Gaara did as well.
"Darn it, I miss the bull's eye three times." I frowned showing the three clones that were holding the dart board and the arrow was on the first circle of the bull's eye.
"How many clones are there?"
"350."
"Not bad. I mean, it's only a three miss from the bull's eye. What's so bad about that?" I shrugged.
"I don't know. This three years I had been doing this and I can't even hit all of them at the bull's eye perfectly." I frowned again and he gaved me a puzzled look.
