HHLHere. I hope you're liking this rewrite so far!
Nami left Itachi on the side of the road and went skipping into her house, her bad feeling all forgotten. That was until she burst through the living room door to find the one man she hated sitting there.
Haishi Hyuga was sitting on her couch.
"What are you doing here Haishi?" asked the pale-eyed girl with no emotion whatsoever.
"Ah, Miss Nami, the Hyuga want me to put the caged bird seal on you." he replied with a smirk. "It is your time to be sealed child. We cannot let a stray little bird fly around as a ninja without the proper protections."
"Um sorry, no thanks. You can't put the seal on me anyways. In case you forgot, most suppression seals don't work on Hanyou" Nami glanced at her nails, two dark tails flowing happily behind her.
"I'll talk to the elders."
"Fine. It won't do you any good." She broke into a smile when the front door slid shut from his leaving.
Nami giggled to herself and darted back into the bedroom she shared with her sister. She felt gleeful after her encounter with the enemy. Happy enough to take out her kunai and work on sharpening them for the next day's task.
Later that day with Kasumi and Naruto
Kasumi was outside playing with Naruto. They were playing ninja. Kasumi was hiding behind a big rock. A rock that Naruto had passed by three times without seeing her. Kasumi started to laugh as Naruto passed her by once again, then clamped her hands over her mouth hoping he hadn't heard. It wasn't more than a few seconds before she felt his weight on her tail.
"Sumi, Will I get a tail like yours someday? "Asked the blonde boy, who tightened his grip on her tail.
"I don't know Naru you're older than I am." said the Kasume brushed a hand along her silvery ears. They twitched in response. "I hope you do."
"Aah. Hey you wanna go get some ramen?'" Naruto stuck his nose up in the air, and longingly glanced in the direction of Ichiraku's.
"Sure Naru," said Kasumi.
"Then we can get some of that general's chicken you love next time we get food!" Naruto gripped Kasumi's hand and began sprinting off in the direction of his favorite food stand.
"Uncle I have a question." Nami perched next to her guardian in the Hokage tower, putting in her most pleading look.
"Nami, you can call me dad." Minato reprimanded her.
"Well tomorrow is my first day as a ninja can i get new n-ninja clothes," She flinched at her own stutter as it showed how nervous she was. "I mean, I just have all the old clothes I've always had with dirt smudges, and."
"-Here. Of course you can buy new clothes. Do you need me to come with you?" Minato was already pulling out a gold card.
"Thank you!" she yelled as she ran off to meet Anko for shopping, not even answering the second part of the question. Either way, Minato was happy that she was doing a normal activity.
Nami met up with Anko next to the Dango shop, and a foxlike grin spread along her jaw. They walked into a shop named The Iron Shinobi. Nami picked a fishnet shirt that went down to her elbows, and then she discarded it for another, higher quality fishnet shirt that went to her forearm. She debatably picked up a soft blue colored kimono, but decided against it. She still hated Kimonos. Eventually Nami settled on a dark blue tanktop that fit well over the fishnet and a cloak that settled over her shoulder, for missions. She grabbed a pair of shoes, and knee length fitted shorts before going to the register to pay.
Anko picked a fishnet shirt with a jacket to go over it and a decently long skirt before they headed out.
The next day, Itachi met Anko and Nami at the training ground. Itachi had an Anbu style shirt on with a fishnet under and regular ninja pants. Anko and Nami had on their new outfits.
"All you have to do for you to pass is find me," said Rin as she disappeared.
"'Tachi, activate your Sharingan, Anko summon a snake and help look and I'll activate my Byuakugan." Nami told them with the air of a natural leader. She didn't even hesitate a moment once Rin had left.
"Ok," replied Anko while summoning. Her bloody hand hit the ground and smoke coursed around her.
Itachi took a deep breath, and a Sharingan appeared with three tomeos already spinning.
"Found her." They all breathed as one, and moved as a team towards a different clearing about half a mile out of their location.
After they located their sensei, she pushed past them with a surge of worry. "You all passed. Go home and rest, I have been summoned for an urgent mission."
"How about lunch for us?" Nami suggested. She pulled something from her pouch. "I still have my Uncle's gold card!"
"I have a meeting with Hokage-sama," replied Anko with a very hesitant look. She bit her lip before saying a sad goodbye, and asking to meet up the next day.
"Then, I guess it is just you and me Ita, "said a bashful Nami. Her face flushed slightly, and there was no telling what she was thinking about.
"I guess it is. But no eating ramen, you know how your dad feels about that. What if we eat at the new BBQ place? "said Itachi. "I heard a bunch of older genin talking about it.
"Fine Ita but you owe me." huffed a young kitsune. Her face didn't fade at all as she turned on her heel to stalk towards the village.
It was less than a ten minute walk to the food place Itachi told her about, and for the most part it was spent in silence. Nami calmed down after a few embarrassing moments, and her gaze locked on the ground. The restaurant was small, yet homely to young ninjas who wanted to get a bite without all of the old middle aged people swarming around.
They were seated very quickly, and before Nami knew it beef and pork were littered across the grill to cook. Nami reached for silverware. Itachi reached for silverware. As their hands touched, Nami did something she had never done before. She pulled her hand away and abruptly fainting, but not without feeling an electric shock from his touch.
Hope you enjoyed. R&R and Stay Golden
