The Beginning

Chapter 6

'Scar thinking/talking in his head'
'Fox talking'

'Kerma? That's a weird name.' Scar said and Kerma grunted in annoyance.

'You're no walk in the park you know? You're really depressing.' Kerma said which received a glare from Scar.

'Nobody asked you to tag along in my life. Now that you are though, it's my life and I'm in control of everything. So, just sit back, relax, and let me deal with my life.'

'...........'

Scar sighed and Zeroko raised an eyebrow at him. "Scar?" He blinks and looks over at her and she tilts her head. "You alright?" He looks around a few times before nodding and scratching his head. "Yea. Yea I'm fine." She nods and stands up and looks at the sun. "It's setting. Guess we should call it a day and head home."

Scar nodded at her and also stood up and started to head home. They both walked for a while but a rustle in the trees stopped them. Scar immediately looks up at a tree trunk and Zeroko said "I sense him as well." And they both shot up towards the tree which received a huge blow to both their sides from an enormous silver sword. The sword was indeed very long and it curved at the front in an upwards direction slightly. There was a hole in it as well in the shape of a circle but it didn't mean anything. This sword belonged to someone called Zabuza Momochi. A ninja from the Hidden Mist. He was referred to as 'The Demon of the Hidden Mist Village' but I couldn't understand why.

He was just a creepy dude with bandages on his face. He grabbed his sword again and Zeroko glared at him. "God this guy looks annoying. Hey Scar! I say we take him out really quick so we can get home and sleep for once!" Scar simply nodded and they both charge at him.

......................

Scar and Zeroko were waking up on the floor of the forest early in the morning now. Scar sat up first and grabbed his head and groaned a little and Zeroko did the same shortly after. "We got hammered badly" Zeroko said and Scar nodded. It was a complete mismatch and even with the skills they currently possessed, they were no match for someone of his caliber. Zeroko didn't like defeat so she was beating herself up over it.

They got home and she immediately started cleaning and throwing stuff around in a tantrum only to clean it up again. Scar didn't really say anything but helped clean. Even after her protests, he still helped her in which she gave up and just kept cleaning. Once the house was clean, she would go on about how she could have won but she was just careless and Scar did listen cause he knew better than to say anything while she was mad.

Once she cleared herself up, Scar took her to her room and told her to sleep and she didn't turn it down this time. Finally. He closed her door and went over to his own room and laid down on his bed and sighed as he looked over at the window. It was brutal to lose to Zabuza so easily. He of course didn't say much. That guy was mainly action. Just like Scar except that this guy had a bunch more experience than Scar did.

Main reason why he lost. Maybe if he wasn't so careless, he would have probably had a chance to win. Now though, he lost, he was hurting, his only friend got hurt emotionally and physically from the loss, and he couldn't believe how badly he lost. He swore to himself from that day on that he would kill Zabuza one day. In order to do that, he would need to get stronger. Much stronger. It was the only way that he would be able to defeat him.

Scar fell asleep in that moment and didn't wake up till early afternoon. They did go to sleep early in the morning after all. Once they saw what time it was, he sighed annoyed and got up. His body ached with the beat down that he had received. He wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep however, Zeroko managed to get applications to join the ninja academy which surprised Scar. He didn't expect Zeroko to even wanna join the academy but she told him that they would help him grow strong. He never expected that.

The academy was for weak people so why was he gonna go? Zeroko could technically sense what was bothering him so she explained that they would teach him some really good things that he could use one day in a real life situation. Of course Scar already knew already out real life situations so why did he need it? He didn't need it.

Regardless, he agreed and they both sat down and started to write up the applications. After they finished that, he stopped and thought. "Shouldn't we just take afternoon classes? I rather not be looked at like some nasty street kid with scars and bruises all over his body." She sighed before smiling. "I honestly believe that if you have scars or bruises or old bruises or anything in relation to that, you're a strong person that has endured. What we are gonna do is start working on shutting off those annoying emotions of yours. If we keep them up, you'll end up falling in love with me in like five years."

Scar chuckled at that and that only received a smile from Zeroko. "I highly doubt that will ever happen. But, it's a thought." She shakes her head and pushes him. "Well push the thought out of your head, Scar. I'm trying to turn you off not make you a love bird at such a young age." She rolls her eyes as she put to take their classes in the afternoon.

Scar chuckled as he also put that and he thought for a second. "You know, I thought you were trying to turn me on. Not turn me off." Zeroko squeaked and immediately stopped what she was doing and faces him. "What!?" He chuckles and quickly stands up. "Oh would you look at the time! I really should be heading to bed."

She growls angrily at him and as he began to run, she immediately gripped the collar of his shirt and slammed him against a wall and approached him. "You pervert! I'm gonna beat you till you learn whenever something is appropriate to say!" She runs over to him and grabs him again and throws him out of their window and when he lands, she lands right on his stomach and starts punching him.

He tries to push her off but she stayed locked right on him. For the rest of the night, she basically beat him around but she mainly took it as a game while Scar got his butt whooped.

'These humans. I swear that they seem to have the craziest definitions and actions ever. Kerma rolled his eyes and laid his head down to sleep for the night.

Waking up the next morning was no easy feat. He got his butt handed to him badly by Zeroko all night so that didn't help. Whenever he looked around though, he saw Zeroko asleep next to him with her small arm slung on top of him and a smile on her face. Okay..... It wasn't an entire loss. She was happy to have beaten him all night apparently. He sighs tiredly and closes his eyes. "Just another day started. Let's see how long we make it."
