《Loose Screws》8. Vol 1 - Of Shopping and Guardian Angel
Advertisement
Ami face then morph into an awe.
She really act like a villager that just step into the Capital or the Big city or something.
Wait, she is a villager from a small village.
Darn, I just notice that.
Like Zabuza said, Stupid me. (He actually call me Idiot, but I preferred Stupid as a word.)
As Ami and I walk, I notice how the civilian act toward me once they see my head band.
The treatment that I received is really different to what they giving to Ami.
They treat Ami as if they knew her for their whole life or something. But me? They treat me as if I am a dangerous stray dog or something. "Hey Ami, You want that too?" I ask as I point on the baby clothes.
Ami then nod in happiness.
"We don't know what's their gender though,"
Yet Ami still smile at me.
"I can feel it! Mother instinct you can say,"
Which I then just nod and believe her, And get tons of boy clothes.
"So your 'Mother Instinct' say that all four of them will be boys?" I then ask, as I hold the clothes that Ami choose.
Ami then nod and smile.
"Yes! isn't it wonderful?"
"Sure.. It is,"
I then said.
Then I look at the clothes pile that are forming.
"I think this is enough Ami, The baby will be born in many months anyway," I then said.
Ami then look at the pile in wonder.
"Hm, Are you sure it's enough?" Ami then ask as she tilt her head.
I then nod.
"Yes-"
"No! It is not! Shopping for baby is never enough!" The shop owner, which is an old lady, then chip in.
Causing an irk forming into my forehead.
"Ah! You are right!"
Ami then clap her hand and go to another isle.
"Wait Ami! You need to watch what you buy! We don't have a luxury to spend this much money!" I then scream out.
Not really, we do. Tons of them, from the Gato especially. But oh well.
Ami ignore me and throw more things that are related for a baby.

"Shit. Ami, calm down. We can buy it later ok?" I then say, Ami then stop and look at me.
"Promise?"
Damn.
"Yes. I promise. Now, Let's go and buy this and put it into sealing so it will not be heavy." For me was left unsaid, but it seems that Ami can understand it.
"Thank you," I then said,
Ami just replied with a smile,
Bringing the clothes to the owner, her eyes then lit up.
"Hm, for all of this, I can say it's 30,000 Ryo," Then I choked.
3 Grand?
"Wait. I take 15,000 Ryo and nothing else!" I then bargain.
"Deal!"
That was fast. should've said 5,000 Ryo or something.
I then pull the roll of money from the seal that I force Zabuza to make it for me on my hand, and count.
As I count, I can see the owner eyes actually glinting bigger and bigger with greed.
"Here,"
I then said as staring at her eyes.
And smile.
The grandma eyes then flashing red and then went back into her natural color.
I give her 1,000 Ryo and put all the money back to the seal.
"Thank you, and please come again!" She then said as if I give her 15,000 Ryo.
I then reply with a winning smirk.
"Oh, I will."
Just hope no Ninja was looking at that. I know that they once got a Uchiha police force, But knowing the plot. It probably died out or something. Heh, Literally.
I then bring the shopping bag, that actually as heavy as a real human being, and walk toward the nearest sealing store to store this bag.
The owner of the clothing store is a civilian, so she can't seal it.
Sadly,
Ami then look at me curiously, "What did you do to the Obaa-san?" She then ask,
I then tilt my head.
"Put her into a heavenly state," I then answer.
Ami then nod.
"I believe you," She then give me the purest fucking smile.
And my guilt grow from a pebble size into the size of a mountain.
Fuck. She remind me of my innocent mother.

Fuck.
I am so sorry mom, I have sinned.
"Why?" I then ask.
As she is currently hold the husband head.
"Before you come and rescue me, I was actually feel like a bird in a cage. I never manage to have my own choice, I never have an ability to shopping like this, or I never have an ability to even speak up. But then you come in. I don't remember what happened exactly," She then look at her husband head bundled,
"But this is the best thing that I have ever experienced. From journeying outside of my home country, to going to the Famous Konoha!" Ami then said with a smile.
I just let out a strain smile.
"I feel like, you are my guardian angel. Mata clan or not," Ami then said. but she whisper the 'Mata clan' part to me as if that's a secret.
"Well, Maybe I am from up there." I then said as I point up to the sky.
"Really! you are from heaven? Can I see your wings Tenshi-Sama!" Ami then scream out excitedly.
"Sure, but not here," I then continued my Bullshit.
"My mission is for peace in this world," Another Bullshit. "So you need to keep it a secret ok?"
Ami then nod excitedly.
As Ami walk in front of me with a smile.
I just feel that today has been a mind fuck day.
I mind fuck her, to kill her own husband. Yet here she is, thinking I am an Angel. Still holding her husband head, like it was just another baggage.
I don't know either my Genjutsu fuck with her head or something, but if it were me, I would not even believe the lies.
Even if it was my own self that say it.
"Oh, There's the store," Ami then scream out as she look at me.
I then nod at her, and wipe my sweats.
"This is a workout."
I then grumble as I walk toward the store with Ami chirping her memories of her beloved husband or something.
I thought her husband was a control freak, so why is she now telling the other things?
Weird pregnant woman.
"Let's go!" Ami then said as she grab my hand and pull me to the store.
"Calm down Ami, I got like a human weight of a clothes on me right now."
"And?"
"And it's heavy-"
"You're a Ninja, act like it Lima!"
"Yeah, yeah." I then groan and walk into the store.
I actually sees around 10 of Konoha Nin just hanging around. 'This is a fucking sealing scroll store, why would you hang out in here?' Screaming inside of my head, I then ignore the stare I got from the Konoha Nin.
"Lima! Lima! Hurry!" Ami then excitedly scream,
I then groan. "Yes, I'm coming."
Walking toward the counter, The guy then raise his eyebrow at me.
"How much for this"
He then look at my baggage.
"5,000 give or take."
I then look at him dead in his eyes. "Are you serious? Should have learn the sealing from Zabu-Zabu." I then mumbled, and call Zabuza with the nickname. Just incase.
The owner then laugh,
"So do you want it sealed or what? It look like it's heavy on you."
I then give him a deadpan face.
"No shit, Yea, Here is the money," I then unsealed my scroll money and give him exact 5,000 no less no more.
The man then nod,
"I'm guessing you want it sealed in your hand as well?"
I then nod at that,
He then began sealing the bags of clothes into my hand. "Thanks," I then said gratefully. Now I got no baggage to worry,
"No prob kiddo,"
Ignoring his 'kiddo' remark I then look back and Ami was not seen.
"Well, fuck. Where is she?"
I then groan.
Then I heard a happy squeal from the store in front of us. I then start cursing.
Why do I even get her again?
"Ami! Stop spending the money" I then run out of the store with laughing from the Konoha Nins on the back of me.
Which I ignore.

Journeys in the Fairworld: The Gatekeeper
Lindsey Fluger was only slightly past eighteen. There was nothing particularly special about her, save that she happened to be the right person at the right time. When Lindsey is asked to join an expedition to another world she makes the mistake of saying yes, plunging herself into a sea of perilous adventure and dark intrigue.
