Chapter 10
A few hours
Alexis's POV
I sit up and open my eyes to see its the afternoon and someone sneaking into my room. I look at Naruto unamused.
He takes my bag and leaves quietly.
"Naruto, may I ask you something?" I ask walking to the door, I see him freeze down the hall.
"Yes?" Naruto says nervously.
"Why do you have my bag?" I ask him.
Naruto bolts. I run after him.
"Naruto." I say to him and I take my bag from him, I stop and he runs into a telephone pole. I walk back to my hotel room and I put it down next to my bed and I sit down.
"What was that about?" Logan asks sitting up groggily.
"Naruto tried taking my bag."
A few hours later
I sit in the women's hot springs with my bikini on just in case and two shuriken in my hand.
I relax for a while before I get out and change into my normal clothes.
We leave the next day and get to the village.
I look at Logan to see him checking one of the villager ladies out.
I roll my eyes and I walk to my apartment. I set my stuff down.
A few days later
A knock sounds on my door as I'm packing for my vacation.
I open the door to see Izumo.
"Lady Tsunade needs you in her office." Izumo says and poofs away.
I grab my ninja gear and put it on, then I run to Lady Tsunade's office.
I walk in and Lady Tsunade looks at me solemnly.
"Alexis, I regret to inform you that your brother Sasuke has run away. I have a team out there trying to catch him and bring him back." Lady Tsunade says to me.
My eyes widen and I look down. "Yes ma'am."
"You are not to go out looking for him, even though I healed your eyes." Lady Tsunade orders me.
"Yes ma'am." I walk out and to my apartment. I sit down against the wall as memories of Itachi leaving replaying through my head and hearing that Sasuke ran away going through my head as well.
I cry silently into my arms.
Someone walks into my apartment and I just stay where I'm at.
"Alexis?"
"Yes Logan?"
He bends down in front of me. "What happened? Your crying, why are you crying?" Logan asks me.
"First Itachi had to leave because my clan was gonna assassinate Lord Third and he killed them and left, now Sasuke ran away and I'm not allowed to go look for him under orders." I say quietly.
I can feel shock coming from Logan but his outer appearance remains calm.
"Kid, I have no idea what to say but everything will be ok. The village will get Sasuke back. Lady Tsunade told you not to go looking for him because you'd do anything to get him back, even run away." Logan says placing a hand on my head.
"I wouldn't run away, I'm not the type to abandon my village, I'm just upset because Sasuke is gonna train with Orochimaru and I know he will, that curse mark on him created more hate in him and then being defeated by Nii-San made him angry, once he finishes training, he's gonna go after Nii-San and kill him. That has been hos goal the entire time and then he's not gonna be the same Sasuke ever again, the hardest thing is watching the people you care about, change into people you don't know anymore."
"Well Itachi is strong, I know he wouldn't go down easy, I've tried fighting him before, remember how he kicked my ass into next week even with out trying?" Logan asks me.
"Yeah, but that's because the Mangekyo wasn't weighing him down, now it is."
"Our vacation is in a few days, try to be in a better mood and get ready, we're meeting the other two man cells at the Island where we dock and leave to the Land of the Moon." Logan says to me.
"Alright." I wipe my tears away and Logan smiles at me confidently.
"They'll get him back." Logan says to me.
I nod and finish packing.
We leave at noon because its gonna take a while to get to the docks of the land where we depart.
"Through the desert, the sweltering heat." I say as we run through it.
"At least its not the freezing cold." Logan says to me.
I nod. "Yeah, that would be a pain, the last time we tried running through snow, we fell and had a cold for a month." I say to him and Logan shutters remembering the mission in the Land of Snow.
"That was too cold. We couldn't even perform missions for a month after." Logan says to me.
We shudder remembering.
We make it to the docks a few days later and we're on time since everyone comes up at the same time.
"Hey, woah who are you?" C asks looking at me.
"This is Alexis." Logan says to him.
"Do I look that different with out my glasses?" I ask and everyone but Logan nods.
"Wait, SERIOUSLY?" Kurotsuchi says and looks me over. "It is you Alexis."
"Uh huh, Lady Tsunade was able to heal my eyes, that's why I'm not wearing my glasses." I say to them.
"So, this place we're going to is called the Land of the Moon?" Chojuro asks me.
I nod. "Its a vacation resort, its got a casino, hotels, a few hot springs, the beach is huge and there's gift shops." I say to them.
"And the way there requires a boat?" Ao asks me and I nod, Logan looks at our boat and I see him turn a bit green.
"As long as you don't have sea sickness then your fine." I say to them as I push down my own worry of my sea sickness.
We aboard the boat I place a glowing green hand on Logan and he calms down. "There, that should help."
"Thanks." Logan mutters.
"Uh huh." I say to him and the boat starts moving, since my pride is bigger than my words I force myself to keep calm and Logan watches amused.
"Your pride is getting in the way." Logan says to me.
"I can throw you over board and leave you behind, so don't even try." I say to him.
"Yes Ma'am." Logan says with a smile.
I roll my eyes.
After a while we get to the stormy part of the sea and the tides upset my stomach and I see everyone else with seasickness, I hold it in.
"Why don't you have seasickness?" Kurotsuchi mutters looking at me.
"Her pride is getting in the way." Logan mutters on the floor.
I turn a little green but since my pride is getting in the way I won't let it show. The rain beats down on us.
Once we get to the Land of the Moon, we're half dead.
I see everyone passed out on the beach and I heal them as my stomach settles down.
I heal myself before everyone wakes up.
Once everyone wakes up and looks around.
"I somehow feel better, but we we're half dead before. What happened?" C asks looking around.
"Alexis's kindness, that's what happened." Logan says looking at me.
"What? She was able to heal all of us when she was half dead as well?" Kurotsuchi asks looking at me.
"Well? Are we gonna head to the resort? Or are you just continue to ask questions about why I did what I did?" I ask them as I stand up.
"Your avoiding this situation." Logan says to me.
I shrug. "We came here to have a vacation right? Well I want to get there before nightfall and you guys keep asking questions." I say to them.
A few days later.
I see a hawk circling me and I hold out my arm, it lands and I take the note off of it. I read it.
Alexis I regret to inform you that Sasuke has successfully ran away. You are still not to go looking for him, so don't even try. Those are your orders but relax during your vacation. From what I hear from the other Jonin, you've made friends with other two man cells from other countries, maybe you might find someone you like. -Tsunade.
The first though that crossed my mind after reading that, is that she's drunk.
"Lady Tsunade is either drunk or trying to get rid of me." I say to myself as I put the paper away in my pouch.
I write a note saying:
Lady Tsunade, I won't go looking for him unless I want to get seasick, besides, if I we're to try Logan would ground me, literally. And you must be drunk or trying to get rid of me, I don't need a man, I can handle myself. So go to bed and quit drinking, its not a good idea. -Alexis
I send my raven off with the hawk and they leave.
I continue walking alone, because its totally not depressing and making me die of bordem.
"ALEXIS, WAIT UP."
I turn around to see Kurotsuchi, Kim, Logan and Ao with her.
I wait for them. "Did you guys want something?"
Thank Kami they saved me from boredem.
"Yeah, your coming with us, we're doing karaoke with the others." Kurotsuchi says grabbing my wrist.
Anything but that.
"I'm not so sure that's a good idea, I mean, I don't really like to sing an all." I try making up excuses as she drags me.
Logan watches amused. "You have a good voice though. I've heard you before." Logan says to me with a smirk.
"You traitor, you told them." I say to him with wide eyes.
Logan laughs. "Yes I did. And what are you gonna do about it? Use your Amaterasu?" Logan says to me.
I kick him in the balls and he doubles over in pain. "I can do that." I say with a smirk.
We get to a karaoke place and I get forced inside by brute force from Kurotsuchi, Logan and Kim while Ao just watches.
I get sat at a table near the front of the place next to the stage.
"Ok and next up we have, ooo this should be interesting, Alexis Uchiha and Logan Hyuga, they aren't from here, they're from the Leaf village, I wonder why they came." The lady announcer says with a wonderous eye.
I scowl at Logan and he laughs nervously and we walk to the stage after picking a song.
Kids Again - Artist Vs Poet (In Media) -Music starts-
Logan: I know a girl who likes to drink her coffee black
'Cause sugar knows she don't got time for that
Leaves her desires at the welcome mat
When she walks in.
Alexis: I know a boy who likes to keep his burner on
Who's always running with no one to keep warm
Its like he's flirting with the smoke alarm
His fires fading
Both: But still we laugh, we cry, we fall, we get high
Just like we were kids, just like we were kids
And when I, I'm feeling small, you get me through it all
Just like we were kids, just like we were kids again
Logan: I know a girl, who's never tried to settle down
She wears her loneliness just like a crown
But when she smiles all the kings will bow down, down, down
Alexis: I know a boy, who's broken every vow he's made
Who's spoken every cowards phrase
But he listens like a rainy day and drown it out
Both: But still we laugh, we cry, we fall, we get high
Just like we were kids, just like we were kids
And when I, I'm feeling small, you get me through it all
Just like we were kids, just like we were kids again
Both: Just like we were kids, just like we were kids again
Just like we were kids, just like we were kids,
Just like we were kids again
Alexis: But still we laugh, we cry, we fall, we get high
Just like we were kids, just like we were kids
Logan: And when I, I'm feeling small, you get me through it all
Just like we were kids, just like we were kids again
Both: But still we laugh, we cry, we fall, we get high
Just like we were kids, just like we were kids
And when I, I'm feeling small, you get me through it all
Just like we were kids, just like we were kids again
Both: Just like we were kids, just like we were kids again
Just like we were kids, just like we were kids again
Just like we were kids, just like we were kids again
Just like we were kids, just like we were kids again
Music ends and everyone stares at us.
"No way." Kurotsuchi says at last.
"I told you it wasn't a good idea, I don't really like to sing." I say to her as I scratch the back of my neck nervously.
"That was." C says looking at us.
"Amazing." They all say to us. "Did you guys practice that?" They ask us.
"No." We say to them simultaneously.
"Who knew an Uchiha and a Hyuga could sing. Lets have some applause for these two."The lady announcer says to the audience.
Everyone starts clapping.
Logan watches me amused. "What don't like the attention?" He asks me.
I walk past him as an embarrassed blush creeps onto my cheeks and I sit in my seat.
