Chapter Five: Family

Aaya walked down the street to see a laid back Usagi sitting on a bunch of barrels. She was ready to reveal to him that she was a girl and try to convince him to come with her.

"Um… hey, Usagi."

"Hm? How do you know my name?" Usagi said getting up.

"I have to ask you a favor…"

"What does the "Great Daughter of Our Strong Ruler" want with me?" Usagi said sarcastically.

"Do you not see any resemblance? By the way, there's no need for sarcasm, I hate my title."

"Resemblance with you and who?"

"Akira."

"Yeah… now that I think of it, you do look exactly like him cept' your hair is longer and his eyes are a different color."

"Well…about that. I am Akira."

"What, what the hell do you mean by that!?"

"Exactly what I said before! I am Akira! I used a transformation jutsu… to get into the academy, which you helped me in."

"Oh wait, I'm so confused! But, I always am. Continue on with your favor plea."

"I am… leaving. I'm going to Konohagure and I wanted to see if you wanted to come with me."

"Konohagure you say, what makes you so wanting for me to come?"

"Well, you're pretty much my only friend I have."

"Oh… well then, since you put it that way, I'll be honored to accompany you," Usagi said as he grabbed Aaya's hand and kissed it lightly, which made Aaya blush furiously.

"Well, um…uh. I have to go call Lord Hokage!!!" Aaya said as she rushed home and grabbed her phone and dialed the number.

"Hello? Who is this?" The Hokage answered.

"Um, Lord Hokage, sir, it's me, Aaya Shijihiro, remember?"

"Aaya!? Of course I remember! How could I forget you?"

"Thanks. Well um, about the offer… with me staying over there with you…"

"What! You're coming!?" Lord Hokage sounded very excited.

"Yeah… at least, if I'm allowed."

"Is that even a question? Of course you're welcome to stay here as long as you desire."

"Are you sure… I'm not imposing or over-staying my welcome, Lord Hokage?"

"No, not at all! Well, I'll send an ANBU to come and get you. You should arrive here early morning."

"Thank, you. BUT, my friend Usagi is coming as well."

"Well then, the more the merrier! I'll send two ANBU then."

"….. Thanks I guess."

"No problem at all, child."

"Well then, I'll be packing."

"Bye... I'll see you soon." Lord Hokage was about to turn off the phone.

"Wait! Lord Hokage…"

"Yes, child?"

"Lord Hokage… thank you so much."
