Putting Holes in Happiness (Travel)

Zim Nara led the group through the fire country until they reached the borders. The rain coming down on them proved to be tedious nonetheless, but it would prove to be a journey that would be worth it in the end. They would stop at the borders for the night and continue the trip to Volcano the next day. That would be the end of their trip. They would reach their final destination, their new home. It was however a little disappointing that Akki Senju chose to take a different route to Volcano, however he was okay with this because the three of them needed the time away from everyone.
Zim, Jayden and Miz had kind of grown up together and ended up being lucky enough to land themselves on a team together. Now, when we say they grew up together, Miz grew up in Kiri and the other two grew up in Sunagakure, but they had met on trips to the others village. They had become close friends and stayed in contact! When Sunagakure was destroyed in the most recent attack Jayden and Zims families moved to Kirigakure resulting in the three of them becoming a team! Now their connections to Team Fuku had to do with the orphanage and how they met the girls through the orphanages, resulting in them becoming Team Fukutaichou members. Of course, Zim and Prim's relationship and Miz’s relationship with Akki may have had something to do with it as well! Jayden and Saya happened on accident and way after the other two. But regardless, now the full team would be together, minus one. Hotaru Aburame chose to stay in Konoha and she didn’t seem too happy about the entire team leaving. But, they chose to anyway, and Yen knew. Though they did leave without saying anything to Yensung, they still knew he had an idea what had happened.
“Let’s stop here, we will continue to Volcano tomorrow.” Zim said as he sat his stuff down. The area was littered with small abandoned buildings that looked like homes that were used for vacationing. He looked out at the water that seemed rather turbulent due to the storm overhead. He motioned for the others to follow him into one of the buildings so they could at least stay dry! He picked up his bag and walked into one of the small buildings. Nothing was inside, and it looked as though it had been abandoned for some time. One of the windows was busted out but it was otherwise intact and at least shelter for a night.
Zim walked into the bathroom as he looked in the mirror at himself. He had changed a lot since his younger years and he had matured in a way that at times, like now, he didn't recognize the person in the mirror before him! Of course he knew it was him, but he looked so haunting to himself. He was a ninja now, and hopefully a married man before too much longer! He had found the love of his life. He went back into the room with the others. He pulled a sleeping bag out and laid down on it. Hopefully, the storm would be over by morning when they left to go to Volcano.

Jayden Terumi followed Zim as he led them through the fire country. It was quite a beautiful countryside. Not as dismal as Kirigakure had been and not as dry and full of sand as Wind Country had been. The lush green landscape was rather appealing to one's eyes. Even in the darkness and rain, there was a certain beauty to it. Jayden felt quite at peace which was something he needed. Even though he was about to be in the arms of his true love, he needed to feel peace beforehand so he could already be at peace for her. He had been feeling violent but not showing it, and as a Terumi he comes from a long line of hot headed people. He wasn’t sure about his older ancestors,but his mother was violent, he felt bad for his father, and his grandparents were rather, well confrontational may be the word he was looking for! Jayden himself was normally not one to be confrontational or violent. He was normally the one quite at peace! But due to the delay in going to Volcano and being stuck in Konoha away from his normal daily lifestyle, he began to feel uneasy! Now he knew these feelings would pass but he wanted them gone before they hit Volcano. And thank goodness, they were already starting to ease up.
As they approached the beach the raging waters seemed to make him feel at peace and not so alone! They were as turbulent as his soul at the moment! And this was a turning point! He began to feel as though a weight was lifting off of his shoulders! Maybe it was freedom, maybe it was finally going to a place to call home, but the intense feelings of anger were vanishing!
He followed Zim indoors to get out of the rain! Leather and rain are two items that don’t mix normally, but their leather uniforms were actually made for extreme weather and combat! His mother had sewed them for the team! Making these uniforms had proven to be a relaxing task for his mother who had quite the temper.
As they entered the abandoned house Jayden began to feel tired, maybe it was the release of anger he had built up, but now he could rest easily. He needed the rest, especially if they would be in Volcano the following day. He would be helping Saya run the orphanage, more than likely this was also going to make her want kids of their own. Was he ready for such a step in the relationship? Yeah, why not. He wasn’t planning on marriage and kids originally but he wasn’t getting any younger and he needed a child to carry on the family name. He was the only male Terumi child between his parents so it was his job to pass it down! His siblings included two sisters and a half sister. Long story behind the half sister that maybe Jayden would tell someday.
After seeing Zim lay down, Jayden pulled out his sleeping bag as well and laid down next to Zim.

Miz was the one following behind the others. The man in the back following behind his fellow teammates Jayden and Zim! It was dark outside and rainy. The weather however had no effect on Miz for the simple fact it reminded him of home in Kirigakure. A place where Miz tended to stay in his puddle as long as he wanted! 
He did miss those days but since being in Konoha with Akki Senju, the voices in his head hardly bothered him anymore. A few times they came out were during training with Yen and once when they first arrived. THe lightning lit up the area as he looked around, the pace was very scenic, of course the Fire country was one of the prettier countries due to its amazing foliage!  
Finally they arrived at the border of firecountry by the sea. The waters seemed to be full of rage as though they were violated! It was almost as if they were warning them something was about to happen! They had left Konoha without telling Yen they were leaving! The Mizukage had no idea where they were either, easily giving them the missing nin titles for abandoning both villages they had been inhabiting! Oddly, Miz felt no guilt towards this crime. Probably because he did not consider this a major crime. He had left but he had left on a personal mission to go find his team mates. Maybe he should write the Mizukage a letter at a later date and one for the Hokage as well explaining why they had left. He would of course discuss this with his teammates before he did anything. Everything he does will have an affect on them!
As he entered the small abandoned building behind Zim and Jayden he noticed how abandoned and stuck in time it was! It seemed as if the vacationers just up and left the place. They took everything but a few things. But the stuff left behind had stories of its own! The busted window allowed rain to enter the building giving it a musty mildew smell!  Why Zim picked this building he had o idea, but no sense in arguing with the Nara, he was a man on a mission to be with his true love! Can’t help but support the guy! As Zim and Jayden laid down on their sleeping bags, Miz pulled his out and laid down as well.
