[Close doesn't even begin to describe their friendship, Tenten, but she'll save that for later.]

So they came from different timelines? [Strange but if the Supercomputer was able to rewind time back home, it shouldn't be totally weird to the girl.]

Honestly? [She ponder for a bit, trying to think the answer through.] For me, I'd rather go home. I mean it would be nice if our friends would come with us on this crazy adventure...but I'm needed back home. I can't abandon everyone there for my own needs. [Leave them at the mercy of an evil computer program? Nope.]

How about you? What are your thoughts?

I guess you could say that they're from my future, yeah. Shino-kun won't tell me anything about it, though.

[She tilts her head and thinks about it, letting out a small sigh.]

I think... I don't know. I mean, we're at war back home, the leader of our village was killed, one of my teammates is in intensive care and might have to give up being a ninja. If I could take everyone away from that and bring them here, I would. Even without ninjutsu, even with Team Rocket, I can't help but think we're a little better off. I mean, Sasuke and I wouldn't even be remotely as close as we are right now if we were back home, and I'd never have meet Joonhee-niisan, or you, or...

[She waves a hand with a bit of a frown.]

You know what I mean?

Yes, I do.

I haven't even been through as much as you did but I see where you're going. Sometimes I'd like to get away from everything and bring everyone I ever cared about with me to some different world too but... I just can't do that. [She's not feeling guilty for being partly responsible for everything that's happened back home, nope.]

I'm pretty sure more of your friends will come here over time though. Especially your teammates.

Maybe... so far we've only had one person from each team show up, except Naruto-kun and Sasuke. And Sasuke had been here for months before any of us showed up. I don't know...

[She shakes her head again and hugs the Riolu a little closer.]

Anyway, you said you went to school with all of your friends? What's that like? Nii-san told me a little bit about what school is like where he's from. ...Where are you from?

Just give it time. The people I've met when I came here said they've waited even years before someone they knew came here. [As much as she wants to avoid that.]

Well, I lived in France with my family but we originally came from Japan. We moved when I was a little girl.

As for school, it's a boarding school rather than a public school. All of my friends live there but I usually head home when it gets dark. If you want to know how the classes are, the teachers are strict and won't hesitate to call you out if you're messing around. I'm a fairly good student there and some of the teachers there kind of like me, especially the gym teacher.

Mm, maybe... but France... Is that near Japan and Korea?

[She waves a hand, that's not as important.]

So you guys lived in the same place you went to school...? That must have been kind of fun, if you ever got to stay over. Or was it you lived outside the school, and the others stayed there...? I'm sorry, I don't think we have anything like that.

And what's a gym teacher teach?

Oh haha, I wish. It's a thousands miles away from those countries.

Everyone but me who attended the school lived there. I lived not too far away from the school and there were no other schools in the area so principal there was willing to let me go there. [She gave a shrug.] It's really expensive to get a dorm there so you had to be practically rich to go there. Plus, they're pretty strict on curfew according to my friends.

Well, gym teachers teach gym. [A beat.] They're basically in charge of keeping us in shape and making sure we stay active. Jim, the gym teacher, is in charge of a lot of stuff back home, like being watchdog at night and the sports stuff like soccer and Pencak Silat.

Huuh...

[Yeah, normal school still seemed kind of foreign to her. Gym made sense, though, if she thought of it like training. Which meant that it's not all that accurate at all.]

Pencak Silat? Oh, wait, no, I know how these schools work! You were studying to become something, right?

[Tenten, that's university. No.]

Not really, no. We're studying basic knowledge to get us ready for those kinds of schools or something.

Some people take stuff like sports for fun or to be a professional at it.. Others might take martial arts like Pencak Silat for self-defense and a way to get into shape. [A beat.] Though its been a while since I've actually sparred with someone.

Martial arts...?

...

.....

Sparring?

Um....yeah.

You know like fighting?

Really? I didn't know you could fight! I've never heard of that style before though, I'd like to see it!

Let's say I did much more things other than fight. [Like saving the world.] But I'd rather not talk about it.

Well, I don't know when we'll meet up but if we do, I'm willing to show off.

Were you a shinobi in your world, then? Nii-san told me they were only in movies in Korea.

I'd like that a lot!

[Yumi knows when she's said too much and waves it off.] Let's save that story for another day ok?

Alright then, I'll keep that in mind. I'd also like to see what Tenten has up her sleeve too.

Hmm...

[Now she's just more curious, but alright, it'll wait until they meet up.]

Alright, it'll be a match! We can compare styles. Are you going to that thing with the tickets?

Edited 2013-04-02 18:32 (UTC)

You mean Prom?

Well, I don't really want to go and I think Shino doesn't either but I have a feeling some loud idiot is going to try and force us to go. You?

I want to! I've never been to one before, but it's basically like a giant party, right? A formal dancing party? And there'll be rare Pokémon to catch, too!

[She's almost squirming.]

It looks like a lot of fun!

[Yumi's not the type to party unless her friends were involved or they were going. However since Tenten seems to be going and Naruto eventually forcing her and Shino....]

Looks like I'll meet you there then.

Okay! Maybe you can show me done if the stuff you know while we're there, do you think?

If I find the perfect outfit for sparring while looking classy at the same time. [She laughs a bit at her own stupid joke.] Do you already have one in mind?

Mm! I saw a nice dress in town the other day. I still have enough money from beating Falkner to afford it, and I've already got the modifications in mind to make sure I can fight in it...

It shouldn't be hard for you to find something like that! You can spar in anything you can fight in, after all.

[And Tenten has a policy of making sure all her clothes are workable for fighting and suitable for hiding weapons.]

I'll have to go out and look then. I should have enough money from that week when Naruto and Shino were in jail to buy one.

[The big problem with Yumi looking for clothes was she was really picky with them: they had to be black and somewhat conservative.]

Anyone you're thinking of asking?

Mm! If you look, I'm sure you'll find... something...

[Wait hang on...]

Ask... someone...?

Um yeah.

[She crosses her arms.]

You know, to go with to the party? ....Like a date?
