10 A shroud Of Mistery Begins to be Unveiled

'Well, that solves my choice in not being a little spy for Lord Third and his council of elders but at least I'm getting paid to do it'.

I soon begin to walk towards the girl's door until I stop at the last moment. 'Wait I don't really know here that much and besides I need to make a good first impression so maybe I should go buy her some get well flowers? I then quickly go to a flower shop and buy some Easter Lilly's since they were my sister's favorite, I then make it back to the door of the young girl.

'Ok remember Nox she is not your sister she only strikingly resembles her and that your sister is gone'. I take in one for deep breath before I enter through the door to meet the young girl that I saved.

I soon see a young girl with short white hair and lovely brown eyes while also have a small, plumped nose and sizeable jagged scare directly underneath her left eye.

I give a little wave to the girl to try and seem as friendly as possible." Hello, it's good that your finally awake since I have been waiting here all night for your timely recovery" I say with a little smile on my face. She then looks at me with a wary gaze eying me up and down until she notices the tanto that's behind my back. After noticing the blade, I can see that she almost instantly tensed up with a small drop of sweat forming on her forehead.

"Oh, I'm sorry I just always have my blade on me just in because I need it like when I was out hunting and found you on the ground unconscious with so severe wounds that I helped patched up". After saying that to try and ease her mind I took out my scroll for my tanto and put it back inside. While soon tossing it to the girl which she soon catches it.

Trying to form some words the young girl shudders to talk " wh... why are you giving me your weapon a blade such as this is the life of any shinobi once lost could cause your death so then why do you care so little about your life" she replied with a slightly worried tone.

I point to a little table next t her bed that she lays in " may I have a seat next to you"?

She then nodes and I soon take a seat next to her with the flowers in the vase at hand, I then lay them down on the table while saying" When I heard that you were awake I thought of coming to see you immediately to make sure that you were ok but I then realized that you were just went through a horrible ordeal while at the same time not knowing where you were would frighten any one so I went and bought you those flowers".

She then takes the flowers that I placed next to her and stares at them for a moment before smelling them. She gives a slight moan of pleasure due to the lovely aroma of the flowers. She then soon postures herself while blushing and says" thank you for the flowers Lilly's like these are very rare where I'm from so I have always loved them".

I could only stare at her after she said those word 'they really are alike not just in appears but also love the same flowers as well. I suddenly realize while in my train of thought I was staring at her so to not seem strange I gave small cough.

*DING*

Through observing over 1000 different people, you are now able to tell the intentions of a person and where you stand with said person.

'Ill have to check that later with Cortana but I better take her to her new residence'.

"Well, there is no need to thank me I was just doing whatever is take to make you feel most comfortable, but I did have a reason coming her just besides making sure your well. I have been assigned as your guide for the village and after you sign out of the hospital you will leave with me" I say in a calm tone.

"What are you going to do to me when we leave this building" she says with a slight crack in her voice.

"Nothing that would harm you off course if that's what your worried about. I'm just here to show you the village and all of its wonders since this is your first time here, I'm assuming.

"Um yes its my first time here in the village so I guess a wouldn't mind a guide" she says while scratching her check.

"Then it settled I will get the doctor to sign you out and then I will take you out to get whatever food you want since you're my guest after all " I say with a wide smile on my face. I then soon leave to help get the doctor to sign her out but along the way Lord Third suddenly appeared out of no where while smoking his pipe.

"So young Nox how goes the mission I assigned to your mm".

It is going smoothly lord Third for the moment so progress has been made through my showing of compassion she seems to have some level of trust in me and soon I will take her to the Local BBQ restaurant that many Shinobi teams visit to eat. At my arrive you can set fake customers and employs to make the situation more favorable for my gathering of information".

"HA ha you keep on surprising me young Nox due to not only have you already gained a foundation of trust with the girl, but you have also given me enough time to set the restaurant with my loyal guards as the employs and guest.

"Thank you for the praise sir but I have not yet concluded if she is a threat or not, but I have a gut feeling that she is not an enemy but a future asset to the village" I say with a serious tone.

"Mm Why do you say that young Nox" Lord Third says while leaning against the wall smoking his pipe.

"Well sir I have already deduced that she has some level of shinobi training just from the one flaw she made while I was in the room with her. The flaw was her eye movements she notices by my stance almost instantly that I have a blade strapped to my back which is hard to notice due to its small size. So only my knowing how a person would walk and stand based on what weapons thy carry would only be known by a shinobi. But to calm her down I sealed my blade and gave her the scroll which gave me instant favor with her.

"That is some fine deduction skills my young Nox, and I'm surprised you noticed the shuttle flaw in her movements, and I would have to agree with your deduction and reasoning of forsaking your blade sue to have no need of it with all of my guards watching her".

"Oh, but one thing I did find out about that may help her calm down was when I was going to enter her room initially, I thought of buy her flowers to make it seems as though I'm a friend and I bought the same kind that she loves which were white Lillies. But she soon said that where she is from there are very few of that kind".

"Ah I see so where you are leading with this so since we know now that her homeland has little amount of that species of flower, we can find which land she was born in by narrowing it down to areas where growing such flowers are difficult. I must say that is a brilliant idea young Nox.

"As for such excellent ideas must do awarded so with that being said Id like to give you these scrolls that have my signature that will allow you to train at any non-clan restricted training grounds and the other scroll has the basic shinobi ninja tools of kunai,shurikn and smoke bombs of 100 each".

"Wow thank you Lord third. Um I mean thank you Lord third for this gracious gift that you have given me.

"Its fine young Nox to get excited every once and a while but I have matters to attend to so well as you so I will now take my leave have a good dinner Nox".

I give my final thanks to the Hokage and begin to sign the girl out but since she hasn't told me her name Ill just write it off as NA. I return to her room and tell her that its time to leave which she is happily ready to comply with.

I say in an innocent tone "wait I just realized I never asked your name so what is it if you don't mind me asking"?

She mumbles for a moment before she says " my... my name is Aiya, but I am an orphan that didn't know her parents, so I don't know my last name" she says meekly.

'Wow if I didn't know that she was bullshitting me right now I would have believed her.

"Well, that's a nice name but whoever named you that should be give some props since you do have very lovely silk like hair. And it's especially cool due to it being white but I'm just stuck with plain old black hair".

"Oh, um thank you for the complement but um I would like to ask what cloths I will be wearing for today".

I then look at her and notice that she has been wearing a patients gown this whole time. " I got it I will just ask the staff ton retrieve you clothing from early that you were wearing when you arrived".

I soon leave the girl one again and I ask a nearby nurse on the condition of Aiya's clothing, but I found out that it was bloodied and torn so they tossed it into the garbage.

'Well shit what am I supposed to do now but hey wait I should just ask my personal E girl for help'. I soon walk towards the restroom and call out Cortana.

[Let me guess you finally noticed that poor girl's condition and you are asking me for help]

"Well yes I need to know her size of clothing so I can go to a stall really quick and buy her the clothing".

[for one that sounds very creepy and two you could just buy clothing from my shop that will always fit the wearer]

"Wait I can actually do that if so, then yes buy me the cloths and since I have no taste you pick since you do have the personality of a female".

[ Done I brought dress which is completely covered a=with the primary color od White and the secondary color is pink with various flowers at the bottom of the dress flowing down below her knees]

"Ok thanks for the help and also how much did that dress cost".

{2000 Ryo or 200 USD by your standards]

"Damn Cortana are you trying to break my wallet but that's besides the point I better get back to Aiya in a hurry since I don't want her to panic or anything". I soon make it back to her and give her the dress which she is instantly in love with which have me even more REP than I already had with her just from being a decent person. After she gets ready, we leave to the BBQ restaurant and get seated in the VIP lounge where any shinobi get placed free of charged and I assumed that this was all done that's to Lord Third.

" Also, Aiya I forgot to mention this, but you will be living in the same apartment complex with me, so our homes are right next door to each other so if you ever need anything I am always there to help you as your guide and friend" I say as I give a little smile which she soon reciprocates.

The night continues as we both eat the best food without having to worry about the bill due to Lord Third. 'I could only think about how I'm going to use the most out of this night'.

Soon after eating food and conversing about simple things like about hobbies, favorite foods and various things we would like to do in the future I order one waiter to attend to Aiya's apartment and give it the best furniture and clothing's and food stocked in it.

I then take her to her home for the first time and actually walk to my apartment for the first time as well, but I won't tell her that. I help her to the door and tell that I will be visiting at 9 AM so that I can show her around the village and after waving good she does the same.

Before she closes the door, I use my leveled-up version of observation which shows the same information besides one difference.

'I guess that's what Cortana means by knowing where they stand with me, but I will worry about that tomorrow since She sees be as a friend, I can use that to gain information that will please Lord Third and that I can use to help keep her safe from Danzo while dangling it Infront of Hiruzen and use it as leverage to help keep her safe'.

I soon open my door to my new apartment and give it a look around and notice that it's pretty big for one person id say two people could live here at least. "Hey Cortana seems as though we are moving up in the world from an orphan with no home to one with a home".

[ Sadly, I'd have to agree with you, but this is just the part, so you better remember to not forget the promise you made to me }

" Of course, I wouldn't forget but that will come in the future for now let's just grow slowly in the shadows and to grow slowly I need to sleep so I'm going to hit the sack so night Cortana".

[ Fine good night Nox ]
