My Answer

Chapter Twelve: Summoned

Team Kakashi and Ren had been summoned to Tsunade's office.

The obvious tension between Yamato and I was so strong you could almost see it, if you squinted.

Ren was smiling and being as chirpy as usual.

"I hope you haven't caused any trouble for my ninja, Ren." Tsunade said, smiling.

Ren put on an innocent face. "Me cause trouble? Of course I did! It was for a good cause though." her words completely contradicting her innocent face.

"What good cause?" Tsunade inquired.

"It was funny." Ren shot back.

Tsunade smirked.

Ren started to get irritated at standing still for so long. She started moving around a little. She moved closer to me and then back again, she kept repeating this.

She started to build up momentum and in a flash I was sent tumbling across the room, only to be caught by Yamato. Jeez.

"Oh silly me, I am ever so clumsy!" Ren said, as an excuse, putting on a snobbish voice.

Of course I blushed cherry red, and we just sort of looked at each other.

Tsunade coughed. "Sorry to intrude on you two lovebirds but you will need to leave; this will be a confidential meeting between Ren and me. Ren, since Shizune will be present you are allowed to summon one ninja to also be present in the meeting with you." Tsunade announced.

Ren nodded, smirking.

She quickly made a few hand signs. I waited for some kind of huge explosion or a beam of light.

She cocked her head slightly to the side as if listening. "My ninja will be here in... five minutes, so you may want to notify your ninja to allow in a ninja called Nari Ikibi." Ren replied softly.

"Nari Ikibi, as in S-Rank Lightning ANBU Captain, nicknamed the Mirror Ninja?" Yamato asked in wonder. I was a little peeved. Why where all these Lightning girl's being so awesome for?

Ren nodded. "Yeah, she is my most trusted comrade and my best friend." Ren announced proudly.

I felt a strong chakra nearby. "Oh, look-y at that, here she is." Ren murmured cheerfully.

We all jumped out of the window to meet this Nari girl.

When we arrived at the gate all of the shinobi were on guard. The girl bore a wolf ANBU mask with the lightning symbol on, and long brown hair, she was tall and athletic looking, the chakra emanating from her was extremely intimidating.

She removed her mask. "You summoned Ren. What do you want? You interrupted my mission." The question was not asked rudely or in a particularly friendly way, it was a bored voice.

"What kind of mission?" Ren inquired.

"A secret one," The voice replied with a slightly teasing tone.

I was awestruck. Never in my life had I ever seen anyone so beautiful yet so cold.

Her eyes were blue like Ren's but not the same shade; Ren's were a grey-blue whereas Nari's were darker, more like a midnight blue, hard, cold and untouchable.

Her face was perfect, every inch of her skin seemed like porcelain her eyelashes were dark and heavy and there was not a hair out of place.

"Yeah, well I need you to be present during the discussion concerning the alliance between Lightning and Konoha." Ren ordered her voice serious for once.

The ANBU just nodded in response.

Ren walked over and wrapped an arm around the older girl's shoulders. "Come on Nari cheer up. I've hardly sentenced you to death. All you have to do is listen to some political nonsense for a while!" Ren exclaimed with enthusiasm.

Nari remained stoic although her eyes were watchful. She was watching two people in particular.

Myself, and Yamato.

Her eyes clouded in confusion.

"I don't understand. You two are in love yet you stand so far apart." Nari mused.

Everyone who was present's mouth hung open, including Ren's.

"Nari you are so blunt. They don't even know that yet! Why spoil it for them!" Ren scolded.

"My apologies, I'm sure I must be mistaken." Nari said, inclining her head slightly, her eyes on the floor.

This was obviously going against every instinct in her body as every muscle in her body was clenched.

Once her eyes were on us once again she relaxed.

She handed over her weapons to Kakashi who had his hand open expectantly. She emptied her pockets and was frisked thoroughly; a bored expression crossed her face.

"Seriously, If Nari was going o kill us, she would have done it already, and she isn't the type to mess around." Ren murmured.

After Nari had been deemed safe enough, we returned to Tsunade's office and Team Kakashi was dismissed.

Yamato pulled me aside. His eyes bore down on me with such intensity that I stopped breathing and started to get light headed.

He broke his gaze and I took in a deep breath. "If you wish that last night's events didn't happen I will respect your wishes and treat you the same way I treat Naruto and Sai, however, if you don't wish too then I would like to take you out to dinner or something." He murmured, his voice wracked with emotion.

Out of impulse I moved closer, regardless of our surroundings and I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his face closer to mine.

His eyes widened in shock at my actions, I crushed my mouth against his, and reveling in the fact he kissed me back.

The door opened, Tsunade and Shizune gasped. Ren chuckled. "Well, well. Nari It appears you gave them the little push they needed. Nice one Cherry Blossom. Get in there Yamato!" Ren murmured.

She laughed and closed the door. "C'mon Nari lets split. See ya, Love Birds. Don't worry you'll see me again." On that comment Ren and Nari left.

I pulled away from Yamato, blushing slightly. "Does that answer your question?" I asked teasingly.

"Yeah, I think it does. You obviously want me to treat you the same way I treat Naruto and Sai. That's fine."

We laughed and I playfully punched him on the arm.

"What about me and Sai?" Naruto screamed down the corridor, racing down, in time to see Yamato's arm around my waist.

His eyes widened and he blushed, stammering incoherently.

Even Sai, who caught up, looked awkward. Kakashi didn't even bat an eyelash, not surprising, the Copy Cat knew everything.

"Sakura, Yamato. I would like to speak to you two alone, now." Tsunade called from inside her office, a thunderous expression on her face.

Oh, shit.
