A few of my favorite quotes

I'm tough, I'm ambitious, and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay. ~Madonna Ciccone

“The Hokage sent me to say that she wants to speak to you three again. It’s probably about a mission she wants to assign.” He reported, which explained why he was confronting them with such a serious face.

Sakura blinked slowly, then opened her mouth to give their reply. “No.”

This caused a raised eyebrow from the other party. “You mean you won’t see her?”

“We’re very, very busy.” Shikamaru said.

Sai surveyed the near deserted street, littered with gambling halls and bars. “Really?” His tone was unconvinced.

“Really.” Shikamaru nodded in support of his own statement.

“Is there an excuse you want me to give her? Or are you just going to let her murder you when you show up?” Sai asked dryly.

“You may tell the Hokage that I am eloping with Sakura, after which we will overthrow the political structure of the Land of Wind while Shikamaru rebuilds Sound in our dastardly attempt to conquer the world.” This came from Neji, who said it earnestly, his amusement wiped away.

“Or you could tell her that we’re chasing a very important summoning scroll. It will allow us to summon earthworms to aerate the soil in our orchard. It’s very necessary to the continued happiness of our mandarin oranges.” Shikamaru was obviously in the spirit of things, though he said it with such honesty and conviction one almost thought he was serious.

“Or maybe…” Sakura didn’t even get to add her excuse because Sai had disappeared quite suddenly. ~from Fallen Night by Evil is a Relative Term

If you are a dreamer, come in

If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar

A hoper a prayer, a magic bean buyer…

If you are a pretender, come sit by the fire

For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.

Come in!

Come in! by unknown.~ Shel Silverstein (thanks Caleon!)

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet. ~ unknown

“We’ve ruined the tea.” Sakura remarked sadly, picking splinters from her cup.

“Why didn’t we use a barrier jutsu?” Neji asked, looking with great irritation at his own setting and ignoring the liberal cloud of dust that had settled in his hair and on his clothing.

Sakura gazed up at him earnestly. “Because life is more exciting this way.”

“Ah. Tea, however, is not.”

Sakura couldn’t disagree with him there. “You’re right, of course. What do you think Shikamaru?”

“I think that while we’re here, there is a great rock formation that is famous for the way sunset lights the quartz that has formed on the surface.”

Sakura nodded her head happily, even though Shikamaru wasn’t even looking her direction.

Neji’s eyes grew sharper, and his next question was brisk. “While we are already outside, it is probably prudent to check our primary targets. ~Fallen Night by Evil is a Relative Term

“Sorry I’m late.” Although honestly he had only found out about the meeting once he’d arrived, those messenger chunin were getting rusty. “I left my refrigerator on and had to go back to turn it off.” Nobody commented on the outrageousness of this excuse because, really, what would they say?

“Here I am, born to be queen, champion of the universe!” sung Anko, kicking open the door to the Hokage’s office. The assembled jounin were waiting for information on their teams’ progress in the exam, but that was forgotten as the examiner pranced towards the stunned Sarutobi, a mutilated corpse slung over her shoulders. With a giggle she slammed it down on top of the paperwork.

A number of foreign jounin were wondering if the ‘nice guy’ reputation that Kohona tried to maintain was a blatant lie.

“Anko…is this….?” asked the Third, looking over the remains.

“Yep. Orochimaru. Me and Kakashi’s brats killed him dead.” said the nearly psychotic woman.

“Go team seven. Yay.” said Kakashi, not looking up from his porn.

“Naruto, if I ever had to kill you I would just put poison in a bowl of ramen and hand it to you.”

“What kind of poison?” asked Naruto, considering the risk.

“You idiot.” sighed Sakura as she pulled a stick out of his shoulder. She frowned, noticing that scabs had barely begun to form.

“Naruto, are you feeling alright?” she asked, dabbing a large cut.

“ Why?”

“You aren’t healing like you were.” said Sakura, taking out some more bandages. “Maybe using the red chakra makes it harder for you to heal?”

“Or, it might be the red chakra that heals him and he used it all up.” said Sasuke. “Every power has a weakness.”

“I’m still better than you.” said Naruto, glowering.

“ Want some ramen?”

I want to leave you something,
Something better
Than words
Or sounds.

Look for me
In the people I've known
Or loved,
And if you cannot give me away,
At least let me live on your eyes
And not on your mind.

You can love me best
By letting
Hands touch hands,
And by letting go
Of children
That need to be free.

Love doesn't die,
People do.
So, when all that's left of me
Is love,
Give me away.
