Shinobies of Equestria

Jetetsu was sitting down at one of the tables. The classroom was at a moderate noise level as ponies were speaking back and forth in their inside voices. It was different from when they were younger, when all they would do was yell in class. They had matured to an extant, and so had Jetetsu. He was just reminiscing on the days when he learned new jutsu, talked to his friends, and bested the occasional student in a spar.

Jetetsu was seated next to a mare named Asuna, who was seated next to Rioku. Asuna was apparently in love with Rioku, though Rioku didn't acknowledge it at all. Jetetsu didn't care that a mare liked Rioku and not him. She wasn't even worth falling for in his opinion, though she was scary when she got mad.

The instructor walked into the classroom and told everyone to find their seats and stay quiet. He gave the traditional work hard speech and do your best pep talk. After that he finally went ahead and started assigning everypony to three man squads, and also stated the sensei they were to train and work under. He assigned ponies to them according to the skills and abilities they had brought to the table, as well as how well they would work with the others in their squad, ultimately keeping the team balanced. He had just assigned the third squad, and he announced that the fourth squad would be consisted of Jetetsu, Asuna, and Rioku. There sensei was Senjee, the earth pony.

Jetetsu was pretty excited that Rioku would be in his group. Now he will always have his rival to spar with! Asuna was also excited to be in the same group as Rioku, but Jetetsu was pretty sure it was for reasons different than his own. After the instructor called out the final squad, he explained to everyone that tomorrow they would be meeting their sensei at the determined locations. He then wished everyone a prosperous future and dismissed the class.

Jetetsu stayed behind for a while to think. He was pondering on the fact that he got Senjee as a sensei. He loved the fact that he would be taking orders from a friend of his, though Senjee was one of the best jounin Ponyville had. He thought to himself the possibilities of all the things he could learn from him!

"Sweet! This is going to be a great year for me." He said to himself.

Jetetsu finally left the classroom and stepped outside to go about his day. Perhaps he would visit the shrine to write down yet another jutsu.

It was nighttime when he decided to head home. When he was heading towards the edge of town, since he lived near the forest, he noticed a mare was laying down on a bench. He was worried, and immediately headed over to wake her and see what was the matter. She was a pegasus who had a slender physique. She was dressed in a shirt and skirt combo with an open jacket. Jetetsu noticed she had quite a big bust. He shook his head.

"No! Bad Jetetsu!" he thought.

He couldn't be thinking about that at a time like this! He shook her body.

"Hey! Wake up! What are doing sleeping out here? You could get kidnapped." He shook her some more. She wouldn't wake up however.

Jetetsu had no choice but to carry her to his house for the night. He wasn't just going to leave her there for bad things to happen to her. That just wasn't the kind of person he was. He picked her up damsel in distress style and carried her to his house. Her head was against his chest, and she would occasionally fidget and almost make him drop her, which he really didn't want to do right now. Before long, Jetetsu could see his house beyond the field in which he owned.

He trekked across the field and arrived at his front door. Though before he could open the door, he had lost his footing and stepped back only to trip and fall on his back. Even though he was glad he cushioned the mares' fall, he was unhappy on what cushioned his, which was the ground. The mare then proceeded to wake up. Jetetsu noticed and tried to get her off of him, but that only made her wake up faster. She looked into his blue eyes, and her face went from a calm and sleepy face to a pure red one. She immediately yelped and pushed off from him and sat up in front of him.

Jetetsu sat up and said, "Whoa! It's alright! I found you unconscious on a bench. I carried you here but, I kinda fell just now." He laughed at his own stupidity.

The girl was still red and looking down. She was obviously embarrassed by the situation she was thrown in just now, so it was Jetetsu's job to make her comfortable.

"So what's your name?" Jetetsu asked with a caring tone. Which seemed to work since she replied back.

"M-my name is Haruhi Minata." She almost sounded like she had no choice but to answer.

"So.... You were out of it on a bench. I passed by and thought I'd carry you to my house so nothing bad would happen to you. I hope your alright. Are you?"

"Oh! um.... Y-yes. I am fine, thank you." As Jetetsu stood so did she.

"Did you want to step inside for a moment? I have pie, if you'd like. We can talk about what happened, I am concerned you know." He went to open the door to go in.

"Oh! Your concerned?! W-well, I, um, no one's ever been concerned about me and..." She trailed off.

"Well I certainly am, you could've totally been snatched up out there! Well, that is by someone who wouldn't care like I did." He held out his hand to offer her in.

"Oh, well I guess I could stay for a while." She smiled and blushed a little. She then stepped inside his house which was a lone cottage in a field next to the Everfree Forest. It was spacious enough for the two of them. Jetetsu then went to the kitchen and pulled out some pumpkin pie. He sliced two pieces for the both of them. She thanked him.

"Thank you for being so nice to me out of nowhere." She ate a little piece of the pie.

"No problem friend! I mean I wasn't just going to leave you there! What kind of person would I be then?"

She then started to blush from the comment on her being his friend. And Jetetsu noticed her face was red as blood.

"Hey, Haruhi? You alright? Your face is really red. Here, let me feel it." He then reached over and placed his palm on her forehead. Upon doing this, Haruhi's hazel eyes enlarged. And she eventually fainted again.

"Oh my Celestia! Do you just faint wherever you please? I think it's a way for you to get a free carry to someone's house!" He then laughed. He picked her up once more and carried her upstairs to the his room. He didn't have another bedroom. He placed her on his bed and covered her up. He then turned out the lights and proceeded downstairs to sleep on the couch.

"What can I say? I'm a big softie when it comes to mares! So what!" He said to himself as he laughed. He then lie on the couch and turned the lights off.
