Hello again. Here is chapter 3 enjoy!
Warning: Se Prologue
Disclaimer: I still dont own Naruto, only my own charakters. (Maby in next chapter, you never know. D)
On with the story.
"Screw this! Screw it all!!" Tsume threw a cup into the wall in her kitchen and it exploded into thousands of peices.
"Mom, calm down." Kiba and Hana was sitting by the table and watched their mother walk back and forward in rage.
"It can´t be that bad. We don´t even know what they want...maybe they..."
"The war is here again! They´ve come back to take our familys place in Konoha! Thirty years of peace, and know this, why!? Why me!!" She slammed her fist into the table so Hanas coffie cup fell off and down to the floor where Akamaru laid. The dog winced and quickly switched location.
"Mom tell us what happend."
Tsume didnt listen, she was still shaken by the events that happend a while ago in the Hokages office.
(FLASHBACK)
"Juunan."
"Tsume."
Tsume had prepared for the worst, but now when she got to know that both her and Juunan had taken over the clans, her hope on a peacefull solution rised for a moment.
"You´ve really grown... I..Can´t belive you are back..."
"Save it." Tsume gasped in suprised of the harsh tone and Juunan didn´t change it when she continued. "I´m not here on a friendly visit. I´m here on the behalf of the Neko-clan. Don´t get the wrong Idea."
The only sentence that was not proncued was still hanging in the air.
We are not friends.
Tsume felt nauseous. All her feelings that she had build up on her way here was the most fearfull in years. And now she felt really stupid, becurse after she had seen Juunan again, alla those feelings had gone out the window. But now, after the greeting, her sences and feeling was all in a big mess yet again. How could she let her guard down like that? It was really not like her. She started to feel angry.
"Well, I see you at least know eachother. Juunan is now the leader of the Neko-clan and has come to Konoha to request a place that she claimed was offered them thirty years ago. I will have to look this up in the documents but I think it will be fine..."
"They turned it down." Tsume felt she had to do something now. She had already let her guard down once but she was a leader of a clan now, she had to come up to Juunans level even though she wasen´t prepared for this. She had to defend herself. Her anger turned to a confident attitude. If Juunan wanted to play this game, the the Inuzuka clan leader would give her a real fight.
Both Tsunade and Juunan looked over to Tsume who didn´t look back.
"Sorry?"
"They got the offer to come back, but they turned it down and moved." She turned to Juunan who directly met her halfways. " Then Why´d did you come back now? After all this years?"
Tsume studied what the years had done to the familiar girl she ones had contact with. Her eyes was still the same, cleas ocean blue with black, cat frame. She looked to have very good shape as her mother. Her hair was black and short just as Tsumes and it had a silver clasp on the right side with some kind of inscription on.
The Neko-clan also had Clan tatoo but not on their faces. It was dark symbol on their right arm. With sharp ears, was it the head of their clan Puma who gave a fearful expression.
A inch next to her left eye was a clear scar what seem to come from a cat. It really gave her a fight experience look. Her uniform was dark Jounin style.
Juunan felt the new attitud from the other, and she knew she woulden´t come anywere if she went to far. She thought about it for a moment before she choose her words really careful. After all, they were in front of the Hokage.
"I know we didnt have any control in the past Tsume. We were helpless stuck between our clans, but I want you to know that I don´t consider us as friends in any way. Its my turn to lead my clan and I now know that my elders were right to claim their place besides yours."
Tsume sighned as she too tried to calm down. "You not the only one who looked that up. I still remember what happened that day. It was not a misstake..."
"It was diffrent circumstances. It was an accident!"
"I´m not here to discuss the past with you Juunan."
"But I am! The third Hokage gave us our home back. I belive its our right to come back, even if its been awhile."
Tsunade closed her eyes. She knew she now had to look for the old documents to get a better view on this. Matters like this is very sensetive sience it was the last Hokages orders.
"I will allow you to come back and take place for know Juunan. But I will have a meeting on this matter on where your rank should be. And I will look up this past of your clans."
"Yes Hokage-sama. But I like to ask for a new chance to get same rank as the Inuzukas." Juunan bowed for her new leader.
Tsume felt as she was about to panic again. She had been right.
"You dont wanna go there Juunan. I don´t have anything aganst you, but if you are serious to fallow your elders thinking, I wont allow you near my familys clan." ´Never!´
"You just wait and see. We will make us worthy the title."
"I´m not making a decition about that right now. Juunan, make you self at home and we will talk later. Dismissed." Tsunade closed her document folder and motioned for them to leave.
Tsume didn´t believe what just happend. But Tsunades decition had saved her for now. She had time to collect her thoughts and come up with some kind of strategy. The past was returning and she didnt recognized Juunan at all. Was it really going to start over again with the new generations?
As they both Jounins headed for the door at the same time and Tsume could only asked herself the question, who was going to get hurt this time?
As a answer to her question, she felt Juunan lean in close and wisper when they opened the door.
"I hope you have kids."
(END OF FLASHBACK)
Once again she felt rage take over her and the others felt it.
"Mom... what..."
"Where were you today Kiba!?" She didn´t want to go threw this with the others right now. She was too tired and shaken. And now when her enemies were back with hidden intentions she had to make sure to do some changes in her family. She started with Kiba and turned to him when he didn´t answer.
"Were?! You was supposed to come home after your training. Is it so hard to do whats told!?"
"I was just hanging with Kankuro. Akamaru was of course with me. You didn´t tell me why so I figured.."
" You figured that just becurse I dont share information with you Kiba you dont have to fallow my rules? Is that it? I´m your mother and as long as you live in my pack, under my roof, you do as told, is that clear?"
"...yes mom."
Tsume didn´t care that she maybe was to strict to her son at the moment. She didn´t feel like she had any controll of the situations. Juunas comment kept repiting in her mind and it was driving her mad.
"I´m doubling your training Kiba. Its time for more intense practise in our family. You will have training with your team, and then come home to practice here with me or Hana."
"What! No way! I´m not gonna have any sparetime left! When am I supposed to see my friends?"
"You can see them all the time, you live in the same village for christ sake."
"Yeah, but Kankuro is leaving in a few days..."
"Forget him."
"What did you say!?" Kiba got up from his chair and walked up to his mom who hade her back towards him.
"You heard me. Its a waste of time..."
"Its not! Whats wrong with you, Kankuro is my friend!" He grabbed his mothers arm and tried to get her to turn around when he spoke.
"Kiba!" Hana was fast there and tried to get her little brother to calm down. And she held him firmely in her arms just when Tsume had heard enough and lost it as she turned around.
"There are many people that are not thrustworthy right now, and your Suna comrade is not safe from that list. Now I will only say this ones. End of discussion!"
Kiba black eyes shot up in disbelief as he just felt like he just been slapped in the face. His mom would not let him see Kankuro anymore, and she seemed to be serious this time. With that he got out his sisters hold and headed for the stairs to his room. Akamaru wined but decided that his master needed time alone. Tsume sighed when she heard the door slam shut. She went to look over her dog who was sleeping in his bed, obilvius to all this caos.
"I know what you think Hana, but dont start you to.."
"Mom, I dont think Kibas friend is that bad..."
"Hana. I said not now. Please...not now." With that the elder left the kitchen and went out to the garden. Hana signed and went to the table to pick up the peices from her cup.
Kiba walked back and forward before he threw himself on the bed in frustration. What was her problem!? Why did she do this? He knew about the clan but it must be something more. He still remebered the blue eyes on the women who went past him into the office. When the two women had come out togheter, the stranger had directly just turned right and vanished. Tsume hade grabbed his arm and pulled him to opposite direction with her dog right behind. The dog had been in there with them but he was much older and more calmer than Akamaru and did not ever join in a fight unless Tsume told him to.
"Ahg!! Why can´t I see Kankuro, it doesn´t make any sence!" He felt sadness come over him and with that he fell alseep.
The next morning he woke up early. He knew his mother wasn´t up yet and that gave him a idea, becurse he knew a person who was. 15 minutes later he had showed, changed, and was ready to go. When he opened the window who in had becomes his door in the past events, he stopped and pondering if he was going to get Akamaru. But then he turn against it and let his partner sleep, and went out.
It was a ten minutes walk to the inn where Kankuro stayd. He was thinking about what he was suposed to say to him but he coulden´t think of something good. He knocked the brown door but it was no answer. Kiba was just about to leave, but then noticed that the door was unlocked. He smirked and grabbed the handle. If Kankuro was home, he would not miss the oppertunity to sneek up on him.
Inside the small apartment was a cuple of peaces of puppets and many tools. It was very boring light colors like in any other inn, so it wasn´t any special. But Kankuro didn´t care about fancy hotellrooms. Kankuros bag was just inside the door and Kiba almost tripped on it. Nicely done he thought to himself. Slowly and quiet he went threw the bathroom, kitchen and then to the bedroom.
The sight before him was priceless! The Suna shinobi was totaly out! Lying on the bed on his stomac in a akward position, made Kiba realise that his friend had been out the night before. With his personally sadistic smile he made his way over to his friend and crawled up on the bed so he was really close. Then the fun begun.
"Rise and shine sleepyhead!!"
In a flash Kankuro grabbed and pulled him over himself so the Inuzuka got pushed down under him on the other side. Kiba was to shocked to say anything. The elder just starred at him with bloodred eyes and mumeling something unclearly before he went quiet and burried his face in Kibas neck. Kiba tried to fight his blush that was stating to show on his face. But when Kankuro didn´t move he got confused. A moment later when he tried to move he understood why.
No way! First he does a fast movement like that, and now he is asleep again!"
"Hey wake up puppetfreak, you are crushing me!!" ´Damn he is heavy!
Kiba tried over and over again to get the Suna shinobi off him and finaly succeded when he with all his might rolled to the side, witch caursed both of them to fall to the floor. Kankuro groaned and opened his eye one more time.
"What are you doing here?"
"I tried to wake you up, are you okay? When did you come home last night?"
"Dont remember... I thought you would be out to."
Kiba looked away and stood up, "Yeah well, it was busy at home."
Kankuro yawned and went to the kitchen in a very slow speed muttering something about mutts and early assholes.
A cuple of minutes later kankuro was drinkin this morning drink to get started. Kiba was sitting on the other side.
"So what happend at home? Did it have something to do with your sister?"
Kiba didn´t answer and Kankuro noticed that something was wrong.
"I don´t know what to say really but..."
"...Maby start from the begining?"
Kiba stood up. "Not now. I need air. Come on."
"What do you have trouble with air now?" Kankuro smirked.
"Yes! You almost crushed me you big drunk! Come on!"
A moment later they were back at the trainingfield. They were used to come here to talk and hang out becurse not many people came here between training hours. Well, maby Rock Lee but now it was empty.
Kankuro sat down by a tree in a comfy position, when Kiba jumped up on the lowerst branch and layd down there.
After a while he begun to tell the story what happend efter his sister came for him. He ended with how his mother had scoled him and that was the reason why he came to his house this morning.
Kankuro was quiet for a while and Kiba started to think that his friend been hurt in some way, until he heard the other laugh hard.
"What are you laughing at!?"
"Hahah, the puppy can´t go out and play for the big mommy wolf!"
"Hey! Shut up you puppetfreak! Its not funny, but I bet you dont even care..."
Before he could finish that sentence, a strong charka thread caught his arm and pulled him down from the tree. He expected to hit the ground, put instead he fell into waiting arms.
"What are you doing!?" He tried to leave Kankuros arms but the elder just held him tighter.
"Aww, little tense today doggie?"
"Stop it!"
"Why do you think I dont care? You maybe is to thick in the head to noticed but I apreciate that you came today...Now.."
He suddenly pushed Kiba to the ground and stood up. "I will try out a new puppet today and you gonna help me."
"What? Now?"
"Yes now your slowpoke. Its your own fault for waking me up. And besides, I´d never got the chans to test it last time becurse you were such a crybaby."
"I was not! You almost discolated my shoulder..."
"Get ready." The other rached for his bundle on his back and took a scroll out.
Kiba just signed. Kankuro was a badass who dindn´t let anyone mess with him, but he could show a soft side sometimes when they were alone. To bad those moments didn´t last.
"I don´t have Akamaru here.. but what am I supposed to do?"
Kankuro just gave a smirked that not even the devil could match. "Run."
Kiba eyes widened when the smoke disapeard and he saw Kankuros new puppet. "No way.."
