Chapter 2: "Ugh. Another Headache"!
"What to do my arm hurts and I have to perform a mission with a Anbu trainee." I said out loud.
I left my apartment in a mess since the pain was like unbearable and I felt lazy for once not to clean it.*
"Okay so who's the kid that I have to train."
"Hmm. It says his name is "Jun Takashi". "16 years old and graduated the academy at 9 years old." "Not bad but I graduated at 7 years old." "Ha in his face."
"I can't wait to scare that kid unless he is ready up to the challenge ".
"The look on his face will be priceless." I said.
I looked at the clipboard that the Mizukage gave me 2 nights before* *Meet at the Training Summit at 1 pm sharp to meet Jun.*
"I guess 12:30 is kind of early... like 30 minutes." I said to myself.
"I'm a weirdo talking to myself and waiting." I said.
"Who's there?" *I threw the kunai at the direction I sensed to find it being reflected back*
"I guess my Sensei is not just for show." A voice came from the tree.
A tall boy wearing an Anbu mask with black hair including his Anbu uniform and swords on his back made his way down from the tree.*
"Oh so, you just wanted to test my skills huh." I said in response.
"Sharp child aren't you." "Well just so you know I'm strict when it comes to training so you better listen or face my wrath."
"Oh." "I'm so scared!" He said in a sarcastic voice.
"You little ugh just talking to you made me waste my breath."
"If you think you're so tough, let's see what you're made of." I said in an angry tone ready to kill him.
"Hmm… so we are testing our strengths now." he said.
"No.
"What then?" he asked in a curious tone.
"Duh introduce yourself." I'm not teaching someone who I
don't know." "At least I know 1 thing that could be really interesting." I said.
"You go first your suspicious". He said.
"Fine my name is Akira Namikaze." "You don't need to know my age." "I like things that can be named but I don't feel like naming them and well yeah and I'm a Sensei of this weird kid, the end!" I said with a bright smile on my face.
"So all I really learned was your name and that I'm weird." "Well that's just great… fine." "I'll go next." he said.
"Well." "Do you see anybody else here?"
"Hurry up." "It's supposed to be a brief meeting." I said.
"Okay." "Well my name is Jun Takashi." "I'm 16 years old and I have 2 best friends who are people." Also I love onigiri and ramen!" He said.
"Okay..." "So, now that we are done introducing ourselves time for some practice warm ups." I said.
"Really..? Cool!" "I have itching for one right now." he replied.
"That's great!" "Well that's going to be tomorrow." I said sticking my tongue out.
"That's not fair!" he said.
"Yeah it is."
"I'm the Sensei and you listen to what I say got that idiot." I said poking his head with my finger.
"Fine then." he said he said with a disappoint tone.
"Well here." *I handed him a piece of paper.*
"This is our practice mission and the next day after we are going on a real mission". "Okay get ready, eat breakfast and do what I typed up for you.
"Be prepared!" I said beaming him a smile.
"Okay Akira-sensei!' Jun replied.
"Oh by the way you can't call me that when we go on missions since we have code names to keep our identities hidden since we are killing people." I said.
"Understood Jun said returning the smile with a cheerful tone. "Bye sensei." He said.
"Okay I replied smiling with a cheerful look in my dark brown eyes.
I headed to my apartment from my meeting with Jun and met up with Kei my I guess friend but I just saw him no talking.*
"I'm kind of a loner." "Since my demeanor to most people is eerie." I said to myself.
Can't wait to go home." I said stretching.
"Hey!" A voice came from a distance.
"Are you serious?" I said.
"Hey you're that girl." A kid said.
"She's amazing going through all those missions killing people." another kid said.
"Hey I think you kids should go home to your parents." I said with a sweat drop behind.
"Nee-san" "Okay." the kid said.
"Good." "I said trying my best to smile.
I left the kids and went inside my apartment.*
I sighed as I went into my room jumped onto my bed laying on my back staring at the ceiling.*
"What should I do?" I said.
"It's really boring." "This is my home yet I don't feel accepted." *I scanned my room to find the remote on my dresser*
"Nothing is better than relaxing time." I said.
I turn the T.V. to hear a large explosion come from outside.*
"W-W-What's going on?" I said.
"Ugh..." I said I have a headache.
"Why me?" I said shouting.
I turned off the T.V. and changed into my uniform with my weapons and headed towards the door.*
I opened the door to see some jounin slaughtered on the ground.* *I looked to see Kei barely breathing*
"KEI!" "Are you okay?" I asked him. "I'm going to take to the medical -nins just wait!" I shouted and *felt a hand reached to touch my face.*
"I-I-I know... I'm going... to die... already."
"Take...care though we rarely talked I know what you have been through."
"I... I actually liked...You".. *Huff*... *Huff*...
"I don't have much time."..."but live well and"..."do not live with regrets"... "I learned that from you"...
Huff*...*Huff*.
"I'm sorry." Kei said *and then he closed his eyes with dying smile on his face.*
"Kei"! "Kei"! "Kei"! "Speak to me are you okay?! "Kei"! I said shaking him.
"I promise that I won't live with regrets thank you for liking me."
"I like you too." "Idiot ...but not that "like". "It always ends like this." I said with a rush of hot tears over my face and anguish.
"This is why I promised not to be involved with any one." "I try but it just doesn't work out."
I looked up towards the sky and the clouds began to form and rain.*
"That's why I love the rain."
"It always comes to cheer me up in these situations." I said.
"Hey!" "I got a kid to train tomorrow and I don't want anything to happen to him." "You hear." I looked at the sky with the continuous rain pouring over me...
I left Kei to the people who bury the deceased and went inside my apartment.*
"Hmm why am I crying?" I said holding my arm and gripping it tighter trying to calm myself.*
The tears just kept coming, never ending but I forced myself not to cry and hold it in.*
"That's what I have been doing for years." I said.
That night I tried falling asleep and ended up thinking about Kei and what had happened that night.*
...
Morning...*
"Hmm it's time." I said looking at the clock on my bed side."
6:00 am* it read.
"Guess it's time to go". I said getting dressed with my pouch filled with kunais and shurikens*
I left my apartment locked (of course) and made my way to the training grounds to pick up my student.*
"Akira-sensei, there you are." "You're later than usual." Jun said.
"Yeah I replied.
"Sorry about that."
"I have a lot of things on my mind."
"Let's get on with this mission." "Remember it's a practice one okay." I said.
"Ok." Jun answered.
We left the training field and headed towards the Mizukage's office.*
"We are here ma'm." I said.
"Okay." "Good, just in time." she replied.
