Shinobies of Equestria
Chapter 6: You like him?!
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Are you serious?! Your joking right? What the hell did you do, Jetetsu?!"
"It wasn't my fault, Asuna! That cat was practically asking for it!"
"You tried to burn it with fire style! What, did you expect to fry the thing for dinner?!
"For dinner!? What, did you want it for dinner? Cause I'm sure it tastes great with some seasoning and sauce." Jetetsu laughed.
"Oh shut up, Jetetsu! Your a real pain sometimes, you know?"
Jetetsu was on the ground at the mercy of Asuna's rage. It was the last of the D-rank missions they had to complete for the day. The job was to catch a runaway cat. And although Jetetsu managed to catch the cat, he dropped it when the cat scratched at his face. Jetetsu got angry and chased the cat. He used his chain jutsu to seize the cat, but apparently, according to Jetetsu, the cat 'made a face' at him. He, of course, got mad and released the jutsu to use his fireball jutsu on the cat. What made Asuna even angrier was the fact that he did it right as she was going to grab the cat!
"Because of you, my beautiful hair could've been injured!" Asuna was furious, like, no words bro.
"You treat it as if it's alive and could speak to you. Talk about crazy mares." Jetetsu chuckled.
Asuna punched him in the face and sent him flying across the forest they were in. His flight was stopped by a huge tree, he hit the tree with his back.
"Ahh.. Celestia help me. What the hell, Asuna?"
"Don't ever call me crazy, Jetetsu! There, there, it's okay. He didn't mean it, your not burnt so it's gonna be alright now, okay?"
"By the gods..." Jetetsu was right, she was crazy. She was literally talking to her hair.
"Wait, what's this?"
Jetetsu felt something underneath him. He stood up and turned to see that the cat was lying on the spot he landed on. He was motionless, but alive. Almost like he was traumatized by something.
"Ha! Take that stupid cat! I meant for Asuna to punch me over here so I could land on you! Yep, all part of my plan." Jetetsu grinned.
"Then I guess you already have a plan on how your going to tell the mare looking for this cat what happened to it, right?"
Jetetsu looked over his shoulder to see Rioku and Senjee. Senjee was right, how was he going to explain this to Primrose?
Jetetsu took the cat and headed for Primrose, leaving the others behind.
Rioku yelled, "Wait, idiot! You cant explain it, your too simple-minded!"
"Now hold on, Rioku." Senjee placed a hand on his students shoulder. "I'm curious to see just how this will end. I say we watch him for now and see what he does. What do you all say?"
Asuna agreed, "Sure, why not? He deserves whatever he's got coming for him anyway. Right, Rioku?"
"Sure, fine, whatever, I'll watch with you Senjee. But this had better be worth my time." He started for the town.
Jetetsu reached his destination. He was at the doorstep of Primrose's house. He knocked on the door and waited. The door opened after a few moments and from within appeared Primrose.
"Hello? Who is it?"
"It's me, Jetetsu. I'm the one who promised to get your cat back, remember?"
Primrose noticed he was carrying her cat.
"Ah! Oh Jewel! I missed you little buddy, come here!"
The cat didn't move. It was still motionless from before.
"What's wrong with him. What happened to him? Why wont he come?"
"Yeah, about that. He kinda got hurt a bit when he was running around. He's fine, but he is going to need to rest for a while, okay?"
"Okay fine."- She took the cat- "But what exactly happened to him?"
Jetetsu paused, trying to come up with a last minute response.
"Uh, he, well... I... You see, I actually didn't SEE what happened to him, so..."
Primrose smiled, "Oh well I guess. At least he'll be alright. Thank you, Jetetsu!"
Primrose hugged him. Keep in mind that Primrose had big breasts. You might also remember that Jetetsu has a weakness for beautiful mares. Sure, she might be older than him, but she looked good and that was all that mattered.
"Oh Celestia...." Jetetsu fell backwards after she let him go. He was still awake, but he was completely speechless. Pretty soon he just got up, turned around, and walked back to his house. He was sure that his friends would report to the Hokage for him.
"Well, it seems this WAS a waste of my time. Great, well I'm outta here." Rioku vanished from the group.
"At least he didn't lie to her. He actually didn't SEE himself land on him. Clever for avoiding the topic. Well, I guess I should go and report back to the Hokage. The rest of the day is yours, okay Asuna?"
"Yes sensei." She nodded.
"Goodbye then." He also fled.
Asuna left and headed towards where Rioku was heading. Maybe she could finally be alone with him. All the while, Jetetsu was heading back home. He needed a rest right now.
The door to Jetetsu's house opened up. In walked Jetetsu, who finally managed to get ahold of himself.
"Hey, Haruhi? Where are you? I wanna know how you've been these past few days." Jetetsu sat down on the couch.
"I'm coming!" A voice from upstairs called.
Down came Haruhi. She was wearing jeans with a jacket, that was all Jetetsu could see.
"Um, Jetetsu?"
"Yeah Haruhi. What is it?"
"Do you mind if I sat next to you?"
Jetetsu laughed, "What kind of question is that? Of course you can! You can sit by me whenever you like, Haruhi!"
Haruhi turned red and formed a small smile.
"Oh, okay then. Thank you." She sat next to him.
They were quiet for a while, Haruhi was just staring at Jetetsu, adoring him, smiling.
Jetetsu broke the silence, "So Haruhi, it must be really boring when I'm away. What do you do when your alone in the house?"
Haruhi turned red, "Oh! Uh, um, nothing, nothing at all. I mean... Well, I don't do anything bad. I-I-I Just relax and sleep sometimes. And do laundry and other stuff." She looked away.
"Laundry? Oh, so you've got yourself some clothes have you?"
"Well yes, I have, but I also do your laundry as well, Jetetsu." She blushed.
"Wait what!!? You've been doing my laundry?"
"Ahh! Well... Yes, but... I know I shouldn't cause it's yours but..."
"No, No, No. I don't care if it's polite or not. What bothers me is that your doing work in this house. You don't have to do anything like that for me you know. I don't want you doing stuff for me because you think you have to." Jetetsu frowned a little.
"But I... I don't think I need to. I... I want to do it. For you Jetetsu." She looked him in his eyes. She gazed into the hazel, she couldn't stop herself from looking.
Jetetsu put his hand on her shoulder. She broke from her trance.
"Haruhi, why would you want to just do this for me?"
She was silent for a few seconds, then she spoke.
"I want to because... Well, you see, I want to because, I feel like I just want to. You showed me kindness when no one else gave it to me. You willingly let me stay at your house alone, meaning you trust me. You give me so much, yet I return so little in thanks." She placed her hand over his.
"I want to do more for you, but I know for sure you wouldn't feel the same way about it if I told you." She rested her head on his hand.
"Whoa now." Jetetsu lifted his hand.
He continued, "I get that you want to thank me, but you really don't need to. Though, I guess I'm not going to be able to do much to stop you am I?" He laughed. Haruhi laughed with him.
"Thank you so much Jetetsu. You have no idea what it means for me to hear you say that. I just, really like you." Haruhi gasped.
She said it. She said she liked him! It was on accident. What was Jetetsu going to think of her now?
He merely laughed, "Wow, okay Haurhi. Nice way to tease right there. You really almost had me going!" He continued to chuckle.
"Well, I guess it's about time that we go to bed, right Haruhi?"
Haruhi nodded, speechless from what just happened. She then got up and went to change in Jetetsu's bedroom. She then got into his bed and just lied there.
She pondered, "He thought I was teasing him. He thought it was a joke. I guess he can be a little dense, but he's still a really nice stallion. He's actually nice AND handsome, now that I think of him. I might've accidently said it just now but, I like him. I want to be with him. But will he think the same way of me. I'm just a fragile pegasus who doesn't even fly that often. Just a petite mare. Wait! No, of course Jetetsu wouldn't think that! If he did then I would've been out of the house long ago. Maybe he does like me, but just cant believe it yet. Well, whatever the case, I hope I can at least continue on to be his close friend at least. Anyways, I had better get some sleep."
And with that, Haruhi turned out the lights and slept through the night.
