Alice and Tee meet again [P,NK]

This time Tee was sitting on top of the very same tree that he had sat on the bottom of when he had met the girl named Alice the day he had lent her his boots. Tee sat up in the tree about 7 meters from the ground and sitting in the leaves motionless. Nobody would be able to see him unless they got directly under the tree and looked up. Tee had been dozing off, off and on all day just enjoying the nice beautiful day and nature in the mountains itself. He was by this point very used to the thick mountain air so he knew it was prevalent but it did not bother him much. The sun beamed down on Tee from up above through the leaves in the trees. Tee allowed it to give him a tan, whenever Tee got into the sun he always got like a redish sort of glow to his skin tone because thats just how things were with him. He never wore any kind of skin protection but for some reason he also never got a sunburn. Many people told him of how lucky he was but he often paid no mind to it because it was really no big deal to Tee since he was not the sunbathing type anyway. The only reason why he got tans is because he was outside often doing activities and the sun just so happened to be there beaming down on him, providing him with a tan. Tee wondered about when he would get his Chunin rank. Tee was confident in winning the tournament but he had many plans for afterward when he achieved his Chunin rank.

When Tee achieved Chunin first things first he wanted to gather the squad together so they could meet one another or whatever, but also he wanted to perform as many missions as possible both with the group and alone so they could gain ryo which Tee was in dire need of. Tee felt for his pockets feeling the only thing in there which was Yami since he was broke as hell. Tee listened to the sound of birds chirping around him and had the feeling of tranquility and happiness pass through his body. Tee was just so happy for no reason and to him that was one of the best feelings in the world. To just be happy enjoying life no matter what you were doing or what was going on. Tee felt like running around the village and reaching inside himself and throwing happiness at the people who seemed down just so they could be happy like Tee was if that was possible. Tee could not understand why people did not like life since it was just so damn wonderful. Tee tilted his head back with thoughts of how good life was.

Alice sighed as she once again been in some sense evicted from her house by her aunt. It was the day of the week in witch her aunt cleans the ENTIRE house. The level of cleaning done made it impossible for anyone but Linda to be able to stand the annoying noise of  extreme vacuuming and washing, or be able to breath with all the chemicals used to eradicate anything that even looked like a germ. Alice wouldn't be able to return home for a long while, if she tried she suffocate or go deaf. So now she was stuck wondering around town, basically homeless. She sighed and began to walk around the village hoping to find something at least partially exciting to do. As usual she got some strange looks as she walked because of not only her stitches, but also her attire of a black sleeveless top that reached her belly button, a black apron skirt, with black shorts underneath and her headband as a belt, her usual black ninja mask, along with tees boots he had given her which were also black. Alice tended to wear black on Linda's cleaning day as it was a very sad day for her. She looked down at Tee's boots and sighed as they weren't exactly too fashionable, and they had smelled, like really bad. Alice had to wash them six times and cover them in scent shampoos and perfumes to just get them to smell normal. Alice didn't know what that guy did with his time, but hygiene wasn't one of them. Thinking of Tee reminded Alice of their spar. Another sigh escaped her lips as she thought about this, as she  was sure she would have lost if Tee hadn't of had to go. She had gotten much better since then, but she still felt years away from other genin. She decided to go to her favorite spot and sulk the day away under the shade of her tree. As she walked their she observed all the people going about their average day, and it bored her. She never wanted to be like that, she would be ninja her whole life, she knew that as long as she breathed she wouldn't stop being one, and with her, let's say peculiar body structure she could be breathing for a long time. 

Finally arriving at the mountain she looked at the clear sky and slightly smiled as she loved vibe of serenity it gave off to her. The mountain wind blew past her making her dark hair move wildly over her shoulder, it almost seemed alive the way it moved. Flipping it swiftly she made her over to the side of the mountain where her tree was. The ground around the tree was still scarred with deep circles from Alice's training. The memory of the training made her happy as it reminded her that she was progressing, but also sad as she wanted the area to look pretty, and the damage from her training wasn't helping that idea at all. Moving to her tree she half expected to see Tee under it but he wasn't so she sat under it and leaned against the truck giving a relaxed sigh. She looked up and saw that Tee was above her. For being a Hyuuga member some times Alice didn't really pay attention to look very well. "What are you doing up there." She grumbled tiredly. As another breeze flowed through the area making the leaves of the tree rustle.

Tee watched as Alice approached in her full black attire as if somebody had died. Tee wondered why she liked this spot so much. Was it because it had some sort of special relevance to her or something, what was it about this spot that drew her here? Tee did not know but he watched through the leaves as she approached the tree and sat down under it where Tee sat when they had first met. Tee looked down at Alice waiting to see how long it would take for her to notice him. After a couple seconds Alice looked up at Tee and grumbled "What are you doing up there." Tee was surprised at the way she had asked him because Tee half was expecting some sort of sarcastic remark and was caught of guard. As Tee looked down at her he looked her in her eye showing a common level of respect and said "just chillin, enjoying the day, what's up with you why do you appear so sad?" Tee asked sincerely really wanting to know what was up with her and why she seemed so upset.

Tee shifted position in the tree so now he had his back up against the branch and he was laying down on the branch looking up through the leaves at the sky that appeared to match Alice's mood. Tee felt rather weird as the usual breeze that was around was non existant the mountain air was still and stiff which was pretty uncommon. Tee saw the clouds overhead starting to grow dark and Tee assumed that soon it was about to rain. But Tee paid it no mind as if it did start to rain he had his technique he could use for it anyway. Tee's thoughts wandered to himself and his future, Tee knew he wanted to become a Chunin and he would, but one thing that he also wanted was a squad. But he needed Genin who were diverse in their skills from one another and could hold their own. Tee also wanted Genin whose skills complemented one another as well as his own if he would be the team leader. Tee looked down again at Alice thinking maybe she would want to be apart of my team since she was a Genin.

Tee fidgeted again as the plain white tee he wore was pretty uncomfortable especially when you forget to take the tag off and its poking you in the back. Tee's shirt displayed his muscles which were well toned but not way to toned like the guys who did not have any necks. Tee looked down as he wore his black shorts and his old black sandals. Tee thought to himself "damn i need to go shopping."

Alice looked up at Tee in the top of the tree. She thought it was weird that he had chosen to relax on top of the tree and not below it, where the shade was. It seemed it would be too humid and it looked like it would rain with the sky being delightfully gray today. I mean Alice knew some people liked to sun bath, but she didn't think that a tree was the best place to lay out, and there was the fact that were was no sun. She also didn't take Tee as the layout type, as not only did mostly girls do it, but he also seemed tan enough. Alice also had a a tan complexion but she had to layout and be outside for quite along time. Alice hated laying out as she had to wear a swimsuit for it, and almost all of her stitched were on display when she did. She also couldn't wear her mask or she would risk an EMBARRASSING tan line that she would never live down. Alice also didn't like laying out because the sun always glared in her eyes and she had to squint. She tried to wear sunglasses when she laid out but the sun still was there and it still annoyed her and her eyes naturally focused on it. She liked lying on her back, as didn't have look at the sun and she could take a nap for a little bit while the suns rays licked at her back and warmed her up. Also when Alice had to lay out and tried to tan her front she would get antsy as she couldn't nap or think. Sometimes Alice would count her stitches just to try and stay still, or think about all the things she didn't like, both would take a huge amount of time but Alice could never concentrate long enough to finish either task and would flip over. Eventually Alice would get too warm and have to go inside though so she barely would get a tan. That why she liked to nap in the shade as it wasn't too cold, but the sun wasn't beating down on her and making her too hot. 

When Tee asked what was wrong she sighed. "Well, Fashionista." She said indicating to Tee's outfit. I mean she knew some guy were not fashion savvy, but just a white tee shirt? Come on. It could at least be a nice color like blue, purple, black, red, and so on. Anything but white. White was just dull to Alice. It stained easily, and Linda loved the color so that was enough reason for Alice not to like it. Any other color to Alice looked nicer than white. It wasn't fun and it didn't stand out at all. It was just so boring. Linda had made their kitchen all white, the outside of their house white, and almost everything doing with the house white. Alice had to beg for months to finally paint her room from white to purple. She just couldn't stand the color. Alice also could see that the shirt was new as she heard the rustling of a tag when tee moved and saw a soft outline of it on the inside of his shirt. "Here''s a little tip, you're supposed to take the tags off before you wear something new, unless you're planning on returning it. If you do, you better hurry because white stains easy and being in a tree isn't the best place to avoid staining." She said all this as she rolled her eyes. 

"If you must know I'm mourning the loss of my house as it's being destroyed, or as she says "cleaned" by my aunt. By the time I come home the flowers and grass in the front yard will have died from the chemicals in the house, if the house hasn't been destroyed by her tyranny. I wouldn't be surprised if the house gave way from the beating it's taking from her" She said sarcasm dripping from every word and sticking in the air like bitter sweet honey.

After asking what was wrong Tee recieved his usual sarcastic remark that he was expecting which got him pretty defensive, Tee personally liked his fashion sense. I mean it was rather dull at time as Tee preferred to wear generally white, grey, or black but Tee guessed he could go for something a little more unique. As soon as Alice mentioned his shirt being a different color Tee smiled and looked down at the amulet with the red gem around his neck. He kinda made it because he was rather insecure about his fashion sense and Alice made this no better. Tee imagined himself wearing a bright pink shirt and pressed the gem on the amulet. Tee's shirt transformed instantly to the bright hot pink that he had imagined. Tee looked at Alice and smiled as if proving a point somehow. After hearing Alice tell him that he needed to take the tags off Tee tried to turn around and look at the tag which was still scratching the back of his neck but Tee could not see it. Tee reached his hand over his head and snatched the tag off and threw it down to the floor where it would land beside Alice.

As Alice started to answer his question about why she looked sad her usual sarcasm was slowly coming back. She explained how her aunt was cleaning and how it was basically World War 3 with chemicals. Tee wondered how Alice's aunt dealt with her sarcasm as Tee knew if he lived with Alice her sarcasm would irritate him to no end. Tee wondered how exactly Alice's aunt was because it seemed Alice wasn't really all that fond of her. Tee looked down at the boots he had given Alice wondering if she had put them to good use or not. Tee wanted to ask Alice for a spar but was debating with himself weather he should or not then he finally said, "yo Alice, wanna spar i need to see something about you?"

TWC: 1270

Alice was kind of surprised when Tee's shirt changed color. Of course she didn't show it, as Alice was usually very collected and calm. She didn't show what she actually thought of people as they could easily get offended then, as Alice thought many negative things about most people. A ninja's emotions are always in check. That was something her aunt had beaten into her brain since the day she first did a Hyuuga battle stance. Alice knew that if people saw her emotions they could sue them against her, Alice was sure any Kumo ninja would agree with her on that also. Though with Alice's dreary, and sarcastic personality, she hardly had feelings towards things that weren't annoyance, tiredness, interest, or laziness. You could tell Alice wasn't a very happy and peppy girl or ninja like some people. It's not that she hated everything, it was just that everything required too much effort, and energy. She had started to get better about laziness unlocking some of the powers of her Earth Grudge Fear technique, and learning more of the Hyuuga battle techniques, though she had taken many naps in between each time she trained. Sometimes she wished she had more ambition, but then she remembered that being more ambitious would take work and decided to shove that idea away into the darkest corners of her mind, and focused on the strange necklace Tee was wearing. 

"Well it certainly helps your style I suppose. What is that?" She asked only slight interest in her voice really. Tee always had some kind of strange gadget with him it seemed. Like his magic rock that turned into shit. Alice thought that someone had a magic rock for a weapon as it didn't sound very threatening at all, to her at least. It seemed to work for him though, as he was pretty good at controlling it. Though Alice still slightly smirked knowing that the strange ninja boy used his magic rock as his main weapon. It was just silly to her. "Hot pink is a little gutsy there, I thought you would stay with your dull colors, and get everyone around you tired. Hey that could be helpful in all your spars." Alice didn't know why but Tee was very obsessed with sparring people. She didn't understand why he just couldn't ask them how they were and maybe just hang out. Nope always a fight with him. Sometimes just thinking about how many spars Tee did made Alice tired. She let out a big yawn as the the tags fluttered lightly down besides her. "There you go, no you're a true fashion diva." She said with an eye roll, and sarcasm gushing from the words she spoke like a waterfall of sass. He asked her to spar and she let out a groan of laziness, not annoyance. "Your not very good at this whole talking to people thing. You ask them how they are, and about the weather usually before beginning a fight to injure them." She said with more sarcasm. "What do you need to see about me, I'm just your typical amazing, talented, brilliant, and beautiful ninja with a humble personality." She said jokingly as she stood up scratching her back. A breeze of wind wafted through the area causing her hair to blow slightly and pass over her shoulder. She flipped in back with a simple hair flip and looked up at Tee again, her white eyes looking up lazily waiting for his responses.

As Tee changed the color of his shirt he half expected a sarcastic remark from Alice and half expected her to be surprised. Tee was rather surprised when Alice asked what it was showing her obvious interest in it. Tee assumed she was into fashion seeing as she was a female obviously. "Well i made it myself, i just thought it would be interesting to make" Tee said. Tee found this kinda weird since he was not usually the kind to just sit and talk with somebody and he was usually always sparring somebody. But then Alice hit him with a sarcastic remark regarding his clothing and his fighting and he just knew she was being her. By now Tee was pretty used to Alice's sarcastic remarks and it hadnt really bothered him much anymore. Then Alice said "Your not very good at this whole talking to people thing. You ask them how they are, and about the weather usually before beginning a fight to injure them." This kind of hit Tee because he hadnt really known other people had noticed that about him until she had mentioned it. Tee was very ambitious and that was something he did need to work on, his relations rather then getting stronger all the time. After Alice mentioned this Tee said "yea well thats one of my downfalls you could say, im not really the social kind." Tee found himself starting to open up to Alice and quickly stopped himself stiffening up in the branch. Alice did a hair flip wondering if she was simply fixing her hair or if she had other intentions and then she looked back at Tee withe he white eyes. As he adjusted himself out of nervousnes his clumsiness kicked in and he toppled over off the tree landing on his back with a thump.

TWC: 1577

Alice raised an eyebrow when Tee said he made it. He didn't look like the handy type, or machinery type, or you know, coordinated at all type. She half expected it to explode or shock Tee. Though she didn't think that if a shock happened Tee would be damaged as one of his elements seemed to be lightning, so he might be into the kind of thing. Alice didn't know and she didn't want to know what things tee was into, and pushed the thought to another dark corner of her mind because of its vast grossness. She wondered if she could get one of those things someday, but she wasn't going to ask as she had already taken the boy's smelly boots last time they met. She didn't need charity from another genin, she could do stuff on her own sometimes. Sure it would be a lot easier to except help from anyone, but it also would cost Alice her ego and pride, both of which she valued greatly. Her pride and ego made up her large amounts of confidence she had in most things. Confidence is key when you live a life like Alice. If she didn't have confidence she would be a mini Linda by now, and would be shy and boring, well more boring then she was now, with her utter lack of motivation. She also would be covered head to toe in clothing as she wouldn't want any one to see her stitches with her lack of confidence. Alice got hot easily so that would suck, also hated wearing sweaters and long sleeved shirts. She felt too confined in them and her Earth Grudge Fear threads would rip through them too easily, and then she would have to sew which was boring, or go shopping which was expensive. Another reason why the amulet thing would be good for her, as she wouldn't have to buy multiples of the same piece of clothing in different colors, like her skirts and tops. Alice went through a lot of money fast when shopping, usually ending with Linda knocking her out to make her stop. She just couldn't help herself there were so many things she wanted to try on and wear around to different events. She just felt like a model after shopping, it gave her a rush like a drug, which in a way to her it was as Linda had to use force every time they went shopping to bring her home without spending her entire's family's savings. When Tee talked about his downfall and not being social Alice smiled under her mask. "You don't need to be social to know how to talk to other people and not immediately ask them to fight. Just have some confidence that everything you say is important and you're the cent of attention. That way you can talk to anyone and not give two shits what they think." She said nonchalantly. "Oh yea it also helped if you're flawless and amazing like me." She added with her familiar sarcasm. She looked back up to Tee to just see him fall to the ground with a thump. She let out a soft laugh. It was cold as if she were mocking him, she was simply laughing at his clumsiness. "This is why people don't typically hang out on top of trees, we aren't squirrels or birds. Beings of the human race typically like to stay on the ground where they won't fall on their asses too much, well unless their super uncoordinated, which you seem to be." She said with more sarcasm dripping in every word.

Alice looked rather surprised when Tee had told her that he had made it himself. Did Tee appear that boring to the point where people thought he had no creativity? This started to make Tee think about his whole way of going about things. Tee would never let Alice see this in his face though as he rarely let people see his emotions which he kind of got from his old friend Raiden. Then what Alice said after that had Tee thinking as he lay on the ground from the fall he had taken. Tee would most definitely take into consideration what Alice was telling him. When Tee fell Alice laughed at him which Tee got slightly irritated about but let it go. Then she made an extremely sarcastic remark about how people dont belong in trees. Tee stated "well being in a tree is more fun so meh." 'But regardless the reason why i always want to spar is because i dream of becoming an ANBU and theres only one way thats going to happen, if i train like hell." Tee said while looking at Alice with a passion in his words.

TWC: 1770

"Now don't get irritated with me, you fell because of your own clumsiness." She teased guessing that he would be annoyed with her hilarious commentary. People tended to get annoyed when Alice always made jokes or used sarcasm. It wasn't her fault, they made it to easy for her to come up with things to say. It's not like she couldn't say what she thought, that was against Alice's nature. She always spoke her mind about everything, even if it made her look mean, or dumb. She wasn't trying to be mean when she said something sarcastic, she was just being her and was trying to make a situation funny. People just didn't get her humor sometimes, which annoyed Alice as she though herself as the funniest genin in all of Kumo. People just needed to learn to not take themselves so seriously all the time, and to laugh, at least that's what Alice thought. If everyone could laugh at themselves then the word would be a much friendlier and happier place where no one would be afraid of hurting any ones "feelings." Feelings didn't seem that necessary to Alice anyways, most of the time they only hindered ninja anyways. If Alice ever wanted to succeed in her goal, she would need to have no feelings anyways or she did no know if she would have the heart or stomach to do such a task.

When Tee told her his dream she wondered why he stopped their. Didn't he want to be anything else then anbu in his life? Most genin dreamed of big shit like a kage, or a hero, or a master. Sure Alice never dreamed of being too high rank a ninja herself but she still had other dreams that were a little be larger scale then being just an anbu. " Well that doesn't mean you have to spar all the time, you can live a little bit, ya know relax, have friends, shop, sleep in something that is not a tree. You don't have to rush all the time, you only got one life anyways, might as well take it easy." She said and sighed. "But if you're so strung up about sparring me then fine I suppose I can fit a spar with you into my very busy scheduled. You should feel honored, I have a lot of sleeping to do today, fitting you in was not easy." She said with familiar sarcasm returning to her voice. She smirked and jumped back getting a good amount of distance between herself and Tee. "Age before beauty, you start this time."
