Stupid, stupid, stupid! (Ronin and Toshi.)

"Nngh..." Toshi touched her bloody neck. "Oh man, that hurt-" Then her eyes widened. "...oh." Memories started to flood in, not just of Toshi and Naka's life, but her many lives before that. It was too much. She passed out.

"Crap!" Ronin then heard people comming to the door. They knew he was here. "You got a back door here?"

"Yea sure! It's in the back." Nomai then led them to the back. Ronin didn't have his mask on...

Ronin put Toshi on his back and they walked outside. They turned and saw a person. 'Oh crap!' Ronin thought as he saw his old friend. The kid instantly said, "He's over here!" Ronin instantly started running in the opisate direction with a bunch of people following him. Ronin eventually got to a hill, he put Toshi in the grass and turned around to see a lot of villagers with kunai up, swords out, and shurikan out. Ronin was ready to fight them all.

After a moment, Toshi's eyes snapped open. The first thing she saw was the whole load of people, and whimpered. "Wha...?"

"This is all the people who want to capture me. Lead by my parents." in the front of the huge group were Ronin's parents. Pretty ugly, another reason Ronin left. He was ready for their attack.

"Eh?! Ronin, don't attack!" Toshi plead, shakily getting to her feet. "Don't fight them! Let's escape."

"Fine, but on my signal we move out of the way. Actually just follow me." the mob started running toward them and Ronin grabbed Toshi's hand. Running until the got to a cliff. Ronin stopped and turned to see the mob grinning. They've finally caught him. Or have they?

Toshi sighed. Great. It was one of 'The Moments' where something miraculous would happen. She looked up at Ronin, waiting for him to do something.

"Toshi, are you afraid of jumping from tall hights into a body of water at least two kolimaters below. 'Cause if you are then hold on tight to my back. If not then when I say three, we jump."

'Ah. Great.' Toshi gulped, and held tightly to his back, squeezing her eyes shut.

"Good choice. Frankly, I'm affraid of heights too, and I've never even thought about doing thin until now, but godspeed!" he said and jumped down the cliff. He pulled out a kunai with a ninja string on it and threw it at the side of the canyon. They hung there, "Toshi! Don't open your eyes!" he looked down to see they were about halfway down the canyon. "Great." he let go and a fewmeters later did the same thing, "Can you swim and later fall down a waterfall!?"

"......" Her brain started to tick and she gulped. "You mean...let go?"

"Yes, I mean let go if you can swim." his grip was loosening on the ninja string a little and the kunai was comming out of the earth.

Toshi sighed. "No, I can't swim." Then she let go and fell down towards the water.

"Great" Ronin let go and splashed into the water, he coulden't see at first but then he opened his eyes and saw crystal clear in the water. He was swimming toward the waterfall when he saw Toshi. She was swimming perfectally fine. 'Such a good lier' he thought as he dropped down the waterfall.

'Wheee, oh lookie, it's a dragon mama and her baby!' Toshi was chuckling, looking up as she watched the sky. She couldn't swim. Heck, she'd drown in the first ten minutes. Under her was a kappa, a water demon, under Aiden's orders, not to let her die.

Ronin fell over the side of the huge waterfall. He liked to swim, so he was on his back, floating as he droped.

Toshi was on the river bed near the base of the waterfall, drying off.

Ronin got out of the water, still without his mask on, saying, "Okay, now what do you want to do? If ya want to go home then that's okay."

"N-no, it's okay." Toshi gave him a weak smile. "I want to go around town...and eat thirty...thirty one sticks of dango."

"Why thirty-one dango sticks?Isn't thirty enough to eat? I've never had one, so I'll get one. And if we're going into town, then I better hide." he pulled his mask back on.

"Why don't you just transform into my cousin?" she asked, her smile growing stronger. "You look suspicious with that mask. People will ask why I'm with you."

"If they do, then most likely, they'll end up paralized with a warning first. I don't like transforming too much."

"Aww, okay." But Toshi kept on smiling. "Let's go, then," she said, and took his warm hand in hers, and started pulling him along.

"Where? Where is the best place to go first and where is it? I haven't been in rhis village for a while. So I don't remember much about it."

"It's somewhere near- ahah! There it is!" The shop looked exactly like the one in Konoha. She smiled, and pulled Akihiko in. "My usual, please!"

"Thirty sticks, Toshi-chan? You're gonna get a cavity~"

"Make it thirty one, one for my friend here," she ordered, smiling.
