A break between classes (Private/PM to join)

Seth watched as she moved quickly hearing her speak once more. He tilted his head and smiled as well. He then drank down the last of his broth and stepped down from the stool. He walked over to her and spoke "Sure I will walk with and by the way I am Seth and I have no last name." He was teased as a child for this but did not care. He then began walking with the girl. He pulled his headband out of his pocket and tied it around his forehead.

"It's nice to meet you, Seth-san." There was a pause as Akina decided where she should go. She started walking away from Ichiraku and, awkwardly, away from the Academy. The girl did not intend to skip her next set of classes, rather; she intended to make something of a circle around the village with the end point being the Academy.

For a moment or two, Akina walked along silently, noticing Seth's headband. He's a Genin...lucky. I need to work hard, too... "So, you're a Genin, huh?" Her lips parted into a small smile. "Great job! I'm still a student, but I train pretty hard all the time."

Her cheeks gained a rosy hue very quickly. "I was wondering if I could ask you about your mission..." her voice was quiet and hesitant. "I wonder if I can help you." her voice was a whisper.

Seth notice as she looked at his headband then he saw her cheeks become a rose color. She then spoke of his mission which caught his eye. So Seth spoke "Well miss Akina I am not on a mission for my village but rather for my self but yes I would be delighted if you helped." He smiled then spoke some more "But if you are in the academy you might not want to come considering I will be leaving the village in 3 days whether I am done or not." He began to blush as he spoke once again "But... If you want... I would love your company."

Her blush increased, slightly as she heard what Seth was saying. He needs my help...or at least, he wants it... Her silvery eyes glowed with cautious curiosity. "How...exactly would I help you, Seth?" The girl studied her kimono carefully. I'm almost at the Academy.

"Why are you leaving in three days?" I am in the top of my class, so maybe...if I work hard, I can become a Genin by then. I think I can do that. She looked over at Seth and smiled. "I'm going to try and graduate by then! Even if I don't, I am curious about other places..." she giggled slightly.

Seth smiled at all the questions then it became wider to the point you could see his snake like fangs. He then spoke "You could help by making sure I don't become weak minded, or make a horrible decision, or... get... lonely." He then looked into her silvery eyes with his golden snake eyes. He knew most people had hated his snake like appearance saying he would be a new threat but he ignored them and pushed through that. Seth then spoke again "I will hold to that, You will graduate." He smiled wide again and continued to walk with her.

Akina listened to Seth with her head tilted slightly toward the ground. Does he really think I'm that strong? I'm not even a Genin yet. I don't know any jutsu yet, either...no! I need to be strong! No one's going to coddle me in the Shinobi world! She could see the Academy's outline getting clearer. She smiled at Seth and nodded. "I accept being your helper!" Her hand unconsciously brushed Seth's.

The feeling made her blush furiously and jerk her hand away. She looked at him quickly, and then looked at the ground. "Sorry, it was an accident." She brought her head up slightly and licked her lips. "Do you think you could help me train so that I will graduate?"

Just as she asked her question, she heard "Hyuga Akina." She realized her class was being held outside. Her pace quickened and she called out. "Hai, Sensei!" She looked back at Seth apologetically. Her bow stiffened as she caught her sensei's stern look.

Seth saw the sensei of the academy as she started to leave. He grabbed her hand real quick to speak to her one last time "Akina I would love to make sure you pass." a smile appeared once more as he was also still laughing at her being worried about touching his hand. He then let her go and walked over to the sensei speaking to him "It is okay I am telling her that outside of your teachings that I will train her. It's my fault if she is in trouble." He then smiled at the sensei as he looked at Akina once again.

Akina swallowed as Seth grabbed her hand. The force pulled her back slightly, but the girl managed to regain her balance. She smiled and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Seth." She looked back to her sensei, and was shocked when he walked with her and told her sensei what was going on. Her mouth hung open slightly as Seth walked away.

The class behind her fell silent. No doubt, they had never seen the girl walk in late; they had also never known anyone to talk to a sensei like that and just walk away. Fear prickled up her spine like a snake. I don't quite get why they're all so mad...he's just like us, right?
