Crazy Author’s Best Friend: Um...um...um...hi.

Author: Lol that’s Cat Feet for ya! She’s the one that the other OC is modeled after lol.

Nine fucking years Aya thought with a small smirk as she sat by herself in a tree

that edged the clearing that she had practiced in as a child. She still couldn’t believe

that her and Christie had stayed here in Konoha for nine years. They had been good

years she mused to herself, most of them anyway. Lots had happened in the space of

time that had passed. She and Neji were still together she thought with a smirk, Kakashi

and Iruka had become more bold with there relationship, Naruto, Sasuke, and the eye

popping surprise of Sakura had blossomed into one hell of a threesome both in the field

and according to said girl of group in the bedroom as well! Christie had also found love

too Aya thought trying to contain her amusement at her best friend’s boyfriend of three

years. Who’d have thought her and Lee-San would hit it off so well. Aya finally did

chuckle as she’d remembered the tortured screams Lee had let out when Christie had

talked him into her and Aya give him a make over. It had been hilarious she thought

continuing to chuckle softly to herself but you had to admit he did look a hell of a lot

better. Less bushy eyebrows, a better style of dress, and not to mention that new hair

cut. Even miracles could happen Aya mused as her laughter subsided and she lapsed

once more into silence. While the silence wrapped her in a comfortable cocoon Aya

watched as the sun began to rise. She watched as the sky slowly lightened turning soft

pinks and oranges, mixing with the paler and paler blue. While she sat admiring one of

nature’s most beautiful wonders she heard someone moving toward her with light steps

through the trees. Her guard was up at once as she leapt silently into a crouching

position. Aya wondered who could be out here so early in the morning and why they

were moving in a way that could only be described as sneaky. As the person got closer

however she caught their scent on the crisp morning air and instantly relaxed.

Resuming her seat back on the branch she turned her attention back to the sky

showing no sign of fear as the person drew closer. When Neji hopped on the branch in

a crouch beside her and dropped a quick kiss on her cheek Aya only smiled continuing

to look up at the sky.

“Will I ever be able to sneak up on you?” Neji asked chuckling as he draped an

arm around Aya’s shoulders and pulled her close to him. Aya turned to give him her

signature smirk though it was warmed a little.

“Sure you will,” she said teasingly, “when you learn to stop making those silly

human noises and giving off that wonderfully sexy scent.” Neji snorted planting another

kiss on top of her head before the two of them turned back to look at the continuing

sunrise.

“You know we leave on our mission later tonight,” he reminded her softly,

“shouldn’t you be at home sleeping.” This time it was Aya’s turn to snort in amusement

as she turned to look at her boyfriend.

“Sleeping huh,” Aya teased. “And the fact that you woke up all hot and horny as

always and found me gone has nothing to do with your lack of sleeping right?” Neji

grinned seductively as a soft chuckle slipped from his lips. Aya watched as those lips

inched closer, stopping only when they came in contact with hers. They shared a brief,

steamy kiss before breaking apart to grin at each other.

“I thought so,” Aya said with another of her smirks.

“Can I help it if you’re so damn sexy when you wake up to proper stimulation?”

Neji asked innocently as they both turned their head back to the sky.

“So it’s the Land of Waves this time huh,” Aya said as she yawned softly

cuddling further into the warmth of Neji’s body.

“Yep,” Neji confirmed wrapping his arms tighter around Aya. “It seems that when

the locals got rid of one problem with the help of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and

Kakashi-Sensei another one sprang up soon after.”

“Sucks for them,” Aya muttered her voice soft as she listened to the mission brief

from Neji. They both already knew the details of the mission but Neji always liked to go

over them before they left. Aya didn’t mind but since she’d woken up extra early to

come and watch the sun rise in her favorite spot it was hard to keep her eyes open and

her brain focused. As Neji continued talking Aya felt herself drift off in his arms, his

body heat and scent lulling her to sleep. Neji soon realized that he was talking to

himself as he felt the young Jonin beside him fall asleep. What a horrible habit Neji

thought to himself with a smirk and a soft chuckle. He gathered Aya to him and carefully

made his way back to the house they shared with their friends. His mind ran over the

different times in their lives over the last nine years. When they had become chunin’s

and then Jonin’s. The battles they’d gone through, the missions they’d faced, the loss of

friends. Yeah they’d had some hard lives that was true but then that was the way of the

ninja he mused as he juggled Aya’s body and carefully unlocked the door to the house.

After locking the door back and walking to their bedroom Neji removed Aya’s jacket,

shoes, and hair tie before tucking her into bed. Since he was already up though Neji

went through their pacs to make sure everything was correct for the supposedly week

long mission. It was a simple mission Neji reminded himself once more even though it

carried an A rank. All they had to do was get in assassinate the new threat and his

bodyguard buddies and get back out. Nothing too difficult for the strongest team of

Jonins in Konoha he soothed himself as he finished his check of the packs. Leaving

Aya to sleep peacefully despite what he wanted to do Neji crept out of the room and

wen to make himself some coffee. While he made the warm, caffeine filled drink

Christie sat in her room at her window seat looking out at the morning as it unfolded.

Another A rank mission she thought with a sigh. As she thought about the mission

parameters her mind wandered to the last A rank mission she’d had. They’d just

become Jonins she remembered, it was her team joined by Neji and Ino in an

infiltration of the Sound Village. It had been an easy job, in and out in one hour. Aya

had been the leader in that particular mission she mused. Once they’d infiltrated the

Sound Village’s hospital all they had, had to do was lay low until nightfall and then grab

the files needed. When night had fallen Ino had insisted that she could execute the

grab and snatch and get back into their current hiding spot no problem. Aya had

immediately told her no saying that she had already chosen Christie for that particular

job. Ino had then accused Aya of playing favorites.

‘You’re just choosing her because she’s your friend,’ Ino had accused hotly as

she’d looked daggers at Aya. ‘I want to get ahead too but how can I if I don’t do

anything?’ Aya had sighed softly trying to be patient with the girl. This was the first

mission she’d been put in charge of. She had been trying to be nice to her teammates

because they were her friends. But the young Werewolf had known that Ino had been

grating on Aya’s nerves, Christie remembered. But Aya was a good leader, a strong

one and did not make any decision lightly.

‘Ino this isn’t about you or anyone else being cheated out of getting ahead,” Aya

had stated calmly. This is about being a leader, choosing what’s best for the team, and

choosing the best person for certain jobs. Normally for a grab and go mission I’d do it

but since Christie has better hearing and a better sense of smell she goes.’ She

explained that she had chosen Christie not because they were best friends but because

she had exceptional hearing and a close to perfect sense of smell. She’d even thrown

in the fact that she would have gone herself had it not been for the fact that Christie’s

nose and ears exceeded her own. It was only fractionally better Christie knew and she’d

told Aya so quietly. But Aya had only given her trademark smirk and said, ‘a fraction

could make sure you come back alive.’ However the argument from Ino had not

stopped there even with the sound logic Aya had presented. The girl, at the time as

they had all been pretty young, had continued to insist on her usefulness. After the firm

no Aya had been repeating for the last half hour turned angry with just a hint of growl to

it Ino had dropped the subject. As they sat in the middle of the floor of the small storage

closet that they’d hidden in all day studying the map of the hospital once more with Ino

off to the side the matter had been dropped. When they’d finished going over the plan

to the letter once more Aya had nodded satisfied and the group broke apart as she

folded the map back up and tucked it into her pocket. Immediately Aya had known

something was wrong. Everyone could clearly see that Ino was gone and that the door

had been left open just a crack.

‘Son of a Bitch,” Aya had whispered softly. ‘Christie I know it’s a few minutes

early but you’re gonna have to go now. I don’t know how far she’s gotten but if you don’t

hurry that idiot is going to get herself. . .hurt.’ Aya hadn’t been able to say killed as

Christie quickly left out the door in silence. She desperately hoped that Christie could

get to Ino in time. While Christie’s musings continued she heard a stirring from the bed

that had her turning in time to see Lee sitting up with a loud yawn.

A/N: Ok I know I’m evil and it’s short but hey cliffys are good once in a while and writer’s block can be one cold bitch! Anywho you know the drill. I hope I’ve made things as wrong as hell so far LOL!
