[Recap]
"Then it's official. We all ask our parents what they remember about their lives when they were our age and no later until we analyze what should be written down for our projects, okay." Taiyou asks, confident of the idea.
Everyone nods in agreement.
[Time skip to the present]
Taiyou and Yuna write a couple of questions on paper while Chiharu argues with Akira and Lei, but Akira could care less as he watches Yuna scribble away and his red-headed brother blushing at Chiharu. He's the only one who seems to know Lei has a crush on Chiharu, and Lei seems to be the only one who knows Akira has a crush on Yuna. Odd, isn't it? Well, it isn't that odd if you're the twin sons of Inuzuka Kiba.
"I don't understand you two! All you do is stare into space, and all you do is scratch your friggin cheek! You both should—wait one damn minute…" Chiharu trails off.
She glances at Akira, noticing his lingering stare. Lei does the same and notices the exact same thing as Chiharu: Akira is peeking at Yuna's developing, drooping breasts. With that, Chiharu takes the initiative and punches Akira across the head mercilessly.
"You stupid pervert! I oughtta call you in for eye rape you jerk! Apologize for staring at Yuna-chan's boobs!" Chiharu demands, punching the intelligence out of Akira.
"Chiharu-san," Taiyou whispers.
"Huh?" Chiharu gestures.
Taiyou gently holds her wrist and tugs her away from Akira. He smiles at her then lightly brushes his finger across her nose, causing her to involuntarily giggle.
"You're going to kill Akira-kun's nervous system if you continue your brutal punishment. Brute physicality should not be used by a woman unless it is absolutely necessary, ne?" Taiyou asks, secretly commanding Chiharu to stop.
"Haa, You-kun," Chiharu obeys, lowering her arm.
"So how many questions do we have, Yuna-chan?" Taiyou asks, calmly.
"Anou, shichi," Yuna answers, slightly jealous of Chiharu's newfound attention. "Would you like me to read them to you?"
"Haa," Taiyou responds, smiling and nodding at the same time.
"Anou, ichiwa shitsumon…
What was your childhood like before training as a ninja?
What were your first impressions of the ninja academy?
What techniques were you able to master that impressed those of the older generations?
What was your first mission?
What mission(s) changed your life or the way you thought?
At what age did you take the chuunin exams?
Did you pass or fail the first time?"
"That sounds like enough to start off with doesn't it?" Taiyou asks.
"Anymore like that and I'll explode," Lei complains.
"Don't be a lazy ass, just stick with the program," Chiharu says.
"Don't be so mean," Taiyou sighs. "I think that should be enough to ask of our parents. It's not like we want to melt their brains with a sexuality education survey."
"YOU TOOK A SEX CLASS!?" Akira and Lei shout more than question.
"You-kun, I had no idea!" Chiharu shouts, blushing.
"Was it out of curiosity to take the class or for clarification on something?" Yuna asks, unphased by the new information.
"Oh, I wanted to understand how procreation really begins rather than hear a story about birds, bees, and cabbage patch kids being carried by storks. It doesn't necessarily help me if vegetables and animals are the only explanation anyone can give me. My father took a class after having a platonic relationship with my mother in his teenage years, and he learned to respect her and any other woman as he matured to the man he is now. I wanted to learn about it earlier before dating any young woman in the future. I think I did well enough to earn the respect of many women and doctors in return. In a few months, I'll be studying with the medical ninjas to increase my skills before high school starts," Taiyou announces.
"How much do you know about girls exactly?" Chiharu asks, suspiciously.
"I think it would take forever for me to explain every detail," Taiyou says, scratching the back of his head.
"Well, you'd best be careful about your smarts, You-kun. You know if Megami-chan found out, she'd have herself a fit and a ricochet bullet," Akira warns.
"Why would you say that, Akira-kun?" Taiyou asks, raising an eyebrow.
Lei takes a quick inhale of a familiar scent then searches the bridge. "Dude, why didn't you say she was coming before!?"
"San…" Akira says, holding up three fingers of his left hand.
"I don't see her anywhere," Chiharu bluntly says, searching around.
"Is there a place to hide?" Lei asks, running around.
"Ni…" Akira says, placing one finger down and leaving two up.
"Honestly, I don't see any reason to hide from Megami-chan. She's a lovely girl with remarkable intelligence just like Yuna and Chiharu, and she's very strong in battle if not crazy about stealth," Taiyou reasons.
"HIDE ME!" Lei shouts, diving in the water.
"Ichi…" Akira sits down then covers his ears.
"UZUMAKI TAIYOU!" a girl shouts, jumping over the bridge.
Hyuuga Megami is indeed a lovely girl and strong, but she is very competitive and will stop at nothing to defend her father's honor in intellect. She is the daughter of Hyuuga Neji and TenTen; however, she wishes to show her father how much she is like him by sharing every intellectual experience she has had with or without him. She has long, deep brown hair and light brown eyes and porcelain skin, but she does the one thing that is neither like her father nor her mother: she wears tight shirts and miniskirts and she pounces on Taiyou with her intimate parts most of time. An example would be her kicking Taiyou to the ground then pinning him down so his face, if lifted, meets her developing breasts.
"I walk across this bridge for two minutes, and I hear you learned something about women? What exactly do you know about a woman, huh?" Megami questions, angered.
"Anou, Me-chan. You're brushing against the wrong areas at this point in time," Taiyou informs, pleadingly.
"Like I give hell! You tell me what you know or else!" Megami threatens, using her Byakugan to prove her point.
"How come you get the cool eye trick?" Taiyou complains, holding her Megami's hips. "Megami, I don't really think you should be attacking me over a little hour-and-fifteen-minute class. You can take a sexuality course if that is what you wish. I took on my accord and you should too if you want. When have I ever gotten the urge to make you feel shameful about learning something old or new?" Taiyou asks, smiling.
Megami's eyes widen at the question. Chiharu and Yuna grow angry at the way Taiyou is holding Megami's hips, and they get even angrier when Megami relaxes herself to sit up rather than strain on hands and knees.
"Fine, you've convinced me to not attack you, but don't think I'm going to let you get away with knowing stuff about women. I'll be around to challenge you when I learn more about men, got it cousin?" Megami threatens.
"Nothing but the best of luck to you, cousin," Taiyou smiles. "Oi! Do you want to join us on our inquiry? You may learn something about Neji-ichijou-san," Taiyou offers, sitting up with excitement.
"Haa! I will join only if it helps me learn more about otou-sama!" Megami declares, eagerly.
"That's grea—!" Taiyou begins to shout before pausing.
Taiyou had forgotten about the proximity of his cousin's body and adjusted himself too much, which causes a bit too much tension for Yuna and Chiharu, but that is not the biggest concern. Megami had also forgotten about how close she was to Taiyou and moaned at the friction (along with Taiyou) between them. Megami slaps Taiyou's head and snatches the paper riddled with questions. She walks home, thinking of ways to ask her father these peculiar questions of his past. Yuna and Chiharu sit by the creek while Akira and Lei play catch and Taiyou meditates on a favored boulder beneath a willow tree.
"Oi, Yuna-chan?"
"Haa, Chiharu-san?" Yuna answers in a questioning tone.
"Did you suddenly get the feeling you wanted to kill that subeta Megami-chan?" Chiharu asks, tossing a stone.
"A little…but You-kun cares about his cousin and her relationship with Hyuuga-sensei more than anything. You have to remember that he hates discord amongst family members sometimes in order to act properly when around him. It would disappoint him if either of us took such foul action against his own flesh and blood," Yuna says, putting her naked feet in the water.
"Geezum!" Chiharu complains, taking her hair out of the rubber bands on her head. "It's such a drag having these troublesome family moments!"
Yuna giggles then says, "You sound just like Nara-sensei when you get upset sometimes."
