I woke up early in the morning, as usual. I'd gone to bed shortly before sunset, the same time as my brother.
Yesterday we had trained pretty long, so it didn't surprise my brother that I went to bed early.

We had been traveling for two years and my body had changed into a more womanly body. And that wasn't the only thing that had changed. My canine teeth had grown sharper and longer and the panda ears on my head got a bit bigger.

I made a sandwich and plopped down in front of the hotel TV. My brother hated hotels. He usually slept out in the open, in an old barn or a ruined building or a large crypt. But when I asked him why we never slept in a hotel he grumbled a bit and the next day we went to an hotel.
I didn't mind sleeping outside, not at all. But it was getting colder in the winter and it's much more comfortable inside.

The last two years had passed pretty quickly, because I'd been so busy learning about Demons.
My brother wasn't a good teacher and didn't like repeating himself, so I had to pay attention and learn fast.

I was really strong now. I found this out when Minichi crawled under a rock one time and I could lift it with ease. If I shook hands with a human I had to be careful not to break the bones in his fingers.

The whole reason why we had to take another route to the demon realm was because there was this group of criminals after my brother.
I didn't know why, or what he had done. But it wasn't my problem.

We'd covered a lot of distance since the day that we left. We travelled through the fire country and through the earth country and then to the wind country. We traveled for days in the desert until we found this village, Sunagure.

We arrived here a few days ago. It was a hidden ninja village, I recognized the headbands.
The headbands reminded me of when I went to the Academy and when I was in team seven.

I thought about my friends in Konohana a lot. I used to cry allot in the night , because I missed them so much. This went on for three weeks until my brother caught me.

"Why are you crying?" He asked.

"Because I miss my friends."I told him.

He stared at me for a few seconds. "You'll make new friends, when we get home." He said.

My brother was a harsh and cold man. But he warmed up to me sometimes. We had grown pretty close , while traveling together. He was still not much of a talker, but he did it more than in the beginning.

My brother was still sleeping on the couch. There was only one bed and he let me sleep in it.
I looked at his sleeping form. He looked like he could wake up any moment now.

I walked back to the kitchen and made him a sandwich as well. I sat it down on a plate in front of him. His nose twitched and his eyes shot open.
His sense was the same as mine so he knew when I was cooking or when Minichi did something 'bad' on the bed.

He didn't like Minichi at all, my brother. He said that he didn't like animals with hair. I just ignored that fact. I'm not going to dump Minichi.
Even thought he didn't like Minichi , he did buy him food and was pretty much nice to him all the time.

Except when Minichi did his pranks. He would run after Minichi and try to catch him, but he never succeeded.

"Good morning, Azami." He said, while yawning. "Did you make this?" He asked.

I nodded and went back to the kitchen to make some tea.

"Would you like some tea, brother?" I asked.

A faint 'yes' was heard from my brother.

Sometimes my brother reminded me of Sasuke. He would respond with 'Hmph' or 'whatever'.

"Sasuke…" How could he be doing? I knew that Kabuto, the guy with the glasses and silver hair was after him. I totally forgot to tell Kakashi when I was in the hospital.
I shrugged it of and reminded myself of the fact that Kakashi was a strong guy, he knew how to deal with such thing.

I served the tea to my brother and sat down next to him on the couch.
Whe were traveling for way to long. And it was all because we were being followed by some group.
I sighed and took a sip of my tea, only to burn my lips.

"You should wait until it's colder, you know." My brother chuckled.

I narrowed my eyes at him. Which made him laugh.
I tried to stay mad at him but I couldn't help it. So I started to laugh with him. I had to admit that it was pretty funny.

Yeah, my brother and I were growing pretty close.
I smiled.
