a girl just wants to have fun [travel]

[Rena]

Fuyuko had heard of a carnival that was nearby... Okay, maybe it wasn't near and all the way in the Land of the River, but that wouldn't be too bad, right? Right. She would be going pretty damn far out away from her home, but never before had she been to a circus and she wanted to go! She was stubborn enough to stick to it, too.

The blond tried to run through her own country for the most part, wanting to keep herself warm by keeping her blood pumping. It worked well enough too, and thanks to her training as a ninja she didn't tire out easily either. And even when she felt the need to rest, she kept on walking because she didn't want to lose too much body heat. When she finally reached the edges of Yuki no Kuni, she found some docks relatively easy and managed to get a ferry with some fisherman over to the Land of Thunder.

Once Fuyuko reached the ports of Kaminari no Kuni, she bid farewell to the ship's captain with much gratitude leaving her lips. Knowing the general geography of this country, she began to head southwest towards the border. She still had a long way to go and didn't want to waste any time, no sir. Some other people who had ferried over were in a caravan on their way to the country's capital, so she decided to stick with them to make things easier.

They were a caravan, so she didn't even have to waste her energy with moving. Fuyuko simply sat back in one of the carriages and talked with the others. Sure it was a slower than she would be able to go on her own, but it was also much easier and more enjoyable. Besides, she wasn't in much of a hurry. The circus wasn't going anywhere... At least she sure hoped it wasn't moving anytime soon.

It took them quite some time to reach the capitol, and there they parted ways. The young woman continued on her way towards the circus, even if the temptation to stay with her new friends had been great. She continued on southwest, and in less than a day she was reaching the border of this country.

The Land of Frost was actually pretty damn tame to her homeland, even if this place had a similar name. It was more of a tundra and there wasn't nearly as much snow. But she didn't mind at all, the cool temperature was certainly something she was used to as well. And this place was conveniently flat, for the most part. Traveling by foot really wasn't a problem, and she simply stayed on the roads to keep from getting lost.

Fuyuko was starting to get a little worried when the sun began to set, but in the distance she could spot some lights, thankfully. Maybe she would have been a little more worried if this was an enemy nation, but for now she really wasn't too concerned with going towards it. But she still kept her eyes open for traps or enemies, of course. When she actually got close, she was quick to realize that it was a research base, and the kind scientists there easily agreed to let her stay the night there. After some supper, of course.

The next morning they were kind enough to share some breakfast with her as well before she was out the door and continuing on her long journey. The next small country that she would have to pass would be the Land of Hot Springs, which was just before the very large Land of Fire.

When Fuyuko was getting well into Yu no Kuni, she was really starting to notice the temperature differences. It was much warmer here, there was no doubt about it. And there was so much color, too! Some of the plants that she was passing she had only seen pictures of in books before. And it was safe to say that food nor water was a problem here, as there was plenty of both. Wildlife and fruits were abundant, plus there were the many hot springs that this place was known for.

It would be safe to say that she may have slowed down a little in this beautiful country, enjoying it almost like she was on a vacation. Hell, when she finally stopped for the night she even bathed in one of the many natural hot springs. It was very different here than what she was used to, there was no doubt about that. And only when the amount hot springs scattered were lessening was she able to figure out that she was probably reaching the end of this country. The dense forests was the main clue that she was reaching the Land of Fire.

Honestly, Fuyuko really didn't know much about Hi no Kuni. She was happy being sheltered on her little island off in the corner of the map. It was safe to say that she knew this was one of the largest countries, and therefore they must be powerful, right? Probably. She couldn't help but think that she'd be lucky if she didn't run into any of the Konoha shinobi. This was actually the furthest away from home that she had traveled, so she couldn't help it if she was a little worried.

The blond haired girl didn't go nearly as slow through this country as she had the others, running for as long as she could manage. And when her muscles began to grow sore, she merely relaxed them with a medical technique and just kept on going. This eventually resulted in her crashing pretty hard later on, but she wasn't too worried about it. She merely set up camp for the night within the dense forest and slept the night off as her body rested and rejuvenated.

Thanks to her persistent speed, she was able to make pretty damn good time in traveling across the large nation, even if it did still take her quite some time on foot. She even had to stop to sleep once more, near a stream so she had easy access to fresh water. And then it was about half way through the next day before she was finally reaching the borders, finally reaching the country that the circus resided in.

At the end of her long journey to the Land of River, Fuyuko couldn't be happier when she finally reached her destination. After some asking the first locals she ran into for directions, she went off towards the circus.
