Mikey walked around. There was a big group of rogues that she was familiar with gathered there. One of the older (about 25-ish), more immature ones, grabbed her and gave her a noogie (lmao). Mikey pushed the guy away and flattened her hair back down. She glared at the guy. "I'm nineteen Rushi, I don't need that kinda stuff from you. I can't believe how immature you are."

He shrugged and laughed. "Hey, lighten up a little Michelle, huh?"

Mikey grabbed a rock and whipped it at his head, making the guy fall backwards, now bleeding from the top of his head. A bunch of the other rogues laughed and Mikey put her hand on her hip. "Don't ever call me Michelle again, got it?!"

The guy touched his head, then looked at his hand, which had blood on it then looked at Mikey. He got up. "You're one crazy chick, you know that?"

Mikey smirked. "You better know it." Mikey looked around when she heard someone say "Alright, cut it out now"

Harushi walked up to the two, trying to stop the fight, he had quit the Akatsuki to rejoin the rogue clan, although he was obviously not welcomed by anyone, he was trying his best. "Mikey, Rushi, you're both decently immature, not let's get over it." Harushi said, using Mikey's word from before to purposely prove a point. Harushi stood stock-still, awaiting some witty, annoying comeback.

Mikey looked at Harushi. "Well look who decided to step in!" She walked up to Harushi and smiled. "You know Harushi, you've got some nerve. Coming in here from the Akatsuki and trying to take control? That real gutsy, you know." A couple of the rogues murmured in agreement.

(if you haven't noticed, Mikey's real good at rallying people XD)

Harushi smiled "Ya know Mikey, I just don't feel like letting someone die, Also, to those of you murmering, I can distinguish you in the crowd, so be quiet. Harushi crouched down to meet Mikey's eyes with his own blind pools "Now if only half of the others were as mature as you. We might all be dead." Harushi whispered, as a happy insult. He stood up and walked away into the crowd, some of the rogues were obviously more afraid of him than others, mostly the ones who had sided with Mikey.

(If you didn't notice, Harushi doesn't like immature kids XDDD)

(Well, how rude! lol)

Mikey glared at Harushi. For some reason, she wasn't as mad at him for that as she thought she should be. She put her hands in her pockets and shrugged. "Yeah, whatever," she said nonchalently. I've been called immature before. This isn't any different, she thought, as she watched him turn around and walk away. She followed him quietly through the crowd for a bit and when they were finally out of the crowd, Mikey called him. "Hey! Harush, I gotta ask you somethin." She walked up next to him. "So, Harush, why'd you quit the 'Katski?" She looked at him, no anger showing in her face. Because for some reason, there was no anger to show. She hated the akatsuki. Especially Deidara. And yet, for some reason, she wasn't mad at Harushi.

Harushi turned around and smiled gently at Mikey, the smile he never had shown, to anyone other than Mikey. "I missed being a rogue, missed the few people I had liked as a rogue, and thought I could help Luko, ease his life up a bit ya know? He works really hard." Harushi stopped smiling and after making sure noone had seen him, he waitied for a second to see if Mikey had anything left to say before he left.

Mikey smiled at the mention of Luko. "Yeah, he's a great guy." A great sensei too. she thought. Mikey smiled and shifted her weight onto her right foot. "I'm sure that Luko could use all the help he can get. I've been trying to help out as much as I can myself." She shrugged. "But there's alot of rogues, you know?" Mikey patted Harushi on the back once. "Hey, despite what I say, I'm glad to have you back, Harush." She smirked. "And it's about time you finally smiled!" She said a little loudly.

Harushi put a playful glare on his face in the direction of Mikey. "Hey, don't imagine things Mikey, maybe you should get some rest if your halousianating like that." Harushi said loudly, but pitched his voice so that it would sound like he didn't mean for others to hear, that way others would listen. Harushi put his hand on Mikey's head "And thanks." Harushi ruffled Mikey's hair slightly and smiled quickly at her, then turned and walked away.

Mikey sighed and turned around only to see that some of the rogues were looking at her. She picked up a rock and started tossing it up and down in her hand. "You guys got a problem?" she asked looking at them through narrow eyes. Most of them shook their heads and said something like "no, no, not at all," and others just quickly walked away. Mikey smirked. "That's what I thought," she said as she threw the rock at a tree, getting it stuck in the tree.
