Sorry its been a while but this is thew prompt Rosered gave.

Storm

Chin moved around the kitchen with ease as he prepared Kono some lunch. Kono's mum had called him and asked if he could watch her after she was called into work on short notice. Of course Chin had not minded one but he did have tones of work to do for the police academy so he wouldn't be able to spend much time keeping Kono amused. To make matters worse a storm was brewing which meant it wasn't safe to go out and surf which had upset Kono greatly.

"Chin please!" Kono whined as she sat at the kitchen table kicking her legs childishly.

"Kono" Chin said with warning. "It's not safe to be out on the waves at the moment"

"I'll be extra careful…"

"Cuz I said no the waves are far too rough for you to be out there you wouldn't be able to handle them so stop asking and eat your lunch" Chin warned as he pushed a plate of sandwiches and crisps in front of her. "I have work to do so I'll be in the study I'll try and be quick so we can watch a movie in a while" Chin said with reason.

"Whatever" Kono mumbled.

Chin sighed and left Kono to eat her lunch knowing she was just having a strop and would get over it by the time he had finished working.

As Kono sat and picked at her food she thought about what Chin had said. "You wouldn't be able to handle them". She pouted as she remembered his words angry that her cousin would doubt her abilities as a surfer. Of course she could handle the waves she was a great surfer everyone told her so. She looked around and noted Chin was in the study his music playing in the background. She jumped down from her seat and went upstairs quietly. She grabbed a bikini and changed into it looking outside to note that the weather was indeed becoming grey. Kono wouldn't let some bad weather stop her from surfing though and continued with her intentions as she grabbed a board and went back down stairs.

The waves were choppy as they crashed together before breaking and hitting the beach. Strong claps echoed across the beach as each wave hit ricocheting in the air. Kono took a moment to ponder her actions but quickly ignored the sensible side. The sky still had patches of blue and the sun still fought to shine through the clouds so Kono determined it would be okay to surf. She decided that when all the blue sky was gone she would head back in forgetting that whatever time she returned she would have to face Chin. At least her house had the beach garden, it would have been impossible to sneak out the house completely.

Kono threw herself into the sea and approached the waves head on. She pushed herself through the water and jumped up onto her board riding the waves easily. Kono smiled as she settled into her comfort zone moving from wave to wave with ease and lightness. The sudden crash of thunder in the distance alerted Kono to the coming storm but she chose to ignore it enjoying the waves to much.

Before she knew it she had been out surfing for half an hour and the waves had grown increasingly harsher. As Kono jumped from her board and began swimming back out for another wave she realised she was struggling. She turned back and realised the current had pulled her further out than intended, the waves crashing together harshly around her, water spilling over her head. She decided to try take one more wave and pushed herself through the water, she stood up ready to ride the waves, but the wave she intended was bigger than expected. She couldn't handle the force and was thrown from her board and dragged under the salty water. She fought to break the surface but the current was strong. Her tired limbs struggled to work properly as she began to run out of air. At last she broke the surface and took in a deep breath, her house becoming further away as she fought with all her young strength to get back to it but another surge of water pulled her back under.

Chin saved his document happy with his work. Although he had more to do he wanted to check on a very queit Kono and maybe start the film. He turned off the music and headed to the front room. The house was quite except for the sound of wind that blew through the slightly ajar back door. Chin felt for sure he hadn't left it open and he suddenly felt overcome with a sense of uneasiness. He rushed to the bottom of the stair and called out Kono's name. He waited five second praying for a response but nothing. He looked out the window to the grey sky and ran towards the back door. Immediately he saw Kono's blue surf board crashing around the waves. He ran like the speed of light out to the water where his baby cousin was struggling to remain above water, the current pulling her back under continuously.

Chin kick of his shoes and dove into the rough waves swimming out to Kono who still fought with all her might to swim towards shore. Chin's blood boiled with her stupidity but an overwhelming sense of fear filled him also at the thought of Kono drowning.

"Chin!" Kono cried as she tried to reach him.

"I'm coming cuz" Chin called back as he pushed through another wave.

It didn't take long before Chin was close enough to grab Kono's hand and pull her into his arms. She clung to him for dear life, her left arms wrapped around his neck and her right hand balling his shirt in her fist. Chin used his right arm to hold her and his left to pull them back to shore. He swallowed a decent amount of water but he made it, collapsing on his knees and holding Kono close. He took a moment to just hold her shaking form before he ripped into her. He pulled himself to his feet and grabbed her hand, pulling her towards the house his face no longer one of relief but one of anger.

Once inside Chin turned to Kono. "What the hell were you thinking?" Chin yelled angrily as Kono stood shaking in fear and from the cold.

"I…"

"I told you not to go outside I told you there was a storm and I expected you to listen! What you just did was stupid, irresponsible and it nearly got you killed Kono!" Chin snapped angrily.

Kono cried openly as Chin yelled at her. She knew she had been stupid and she was sorry but it scared her seeing Chin so angry, he had never shouted at her like that before and she didn't like it.

Chin rubbed his hands down his face in frustration his anger consuming him. He knew Kono was upset and he should comfort her considering she could have died but he was to angry to do so.

"When your mum gets home I will be telling her about this, go upstairs and shower and change and stay in your room." Chin instructed.

Kono lay in her bed curled in a tight ball crying into her pillow as she came to terms with what happened. It had hit her that had Chin not come to check on her she may not have made it to shore. That realisation only made her sob harder. Chin shouting was really scary and she knew he was super mad, and it would be really bad when her mum found out as well. Amongst the tears Kono heard the tell-tale signs of her mums return as the front door closed. At least half an hour past of hushed whispers as Kono assumed Chin was telling her mum what happened. Heavy footsteps then rushed up the stairs and along the corridor before her bedroom door was flung open and her mum stood there angrily her eyes red as though she had been crying. Kono turned and sat up as her mum laid into her.

"Do have any idea how disappointed I am right now Kono!" Leia yelled as she asked a rhetorical question.

Kono remained quite as she fought back the tears.

"Your actions were so silly Kono, Chin told you not to go surf today and you ignored him. Thank god he caught you before you went out there too far. If you had gone surfing in deeper water the current could have pulled you under Kono. I'm really upset Kono that you ignored your cousin and potentially put yourself in a dangerous situation." Leia said her tone that of disappointment.

Kono realised Chin had not told her mum everything and she suddenly felt unbelievably grateful. Her mother's disappointment was upsetting enough, let alone if she knew everything.

"You're grounded for two weeks Kono, no surfing unless it's lessons and you won't stay late for extra practice do you understand?" Leia asked seriously.

"Yes" Kono mumbled tearfully as her mum gave her a hug of relief before going back down stairs.

Chin didn't say goodbye to Kono that night, he left quickly after Leia had arrived home. Kono didn't blame him considering what she did but she had hoped for a hug at least even if he still was mad.

It was a week and a half later when Leia dropped Kono at Chin's. He had the day off and Kono had caught a cold so couldn't go to school. Leia had told her she got the cold because she went out in the surf in bad weather and she knew Chin would think the same. She had almost begged her mum to let her go to school even though she felt terrible because she didn't want to face Chin. She had never gone so long without seeing him and if she was honest she was pretty scared to see him. Chin's mum answered the door to her on her own way to work giving her niece a quick hug and letting her in. She called up to Chin and let him know Kono was there before she and Leia left.

Kono took a seat on the couch to calm her spinning head as she waited nervously for Chin to come downstairs. It crossed her mind that maybe he would just stay upstairs all day and avoid her but she squashed that as she heard his footsteps. She pulled her knees to her chest and looked at the floor intently.

Chin could see the top of Kono's head from the bottom of the stairs and he knew she was probably nervous and embarrassed. He felt terrible himself for not having spoken or seen her since that day but he had been so mad and had lots of work. He walked over the couch and sat next to her, noting her pale and tired complexion.

"Hey cuz" He said softly.

"Hi" Kono sniffled.

"You're not feeling great then?" Chin asked

Kono shrugged her shoulders not wanting to admit that her stupid actions probably impacted her cold.

Chin hated that fact he and Kono weren't talking properly. He sighed and pulled her into his arms. Kono began to sob immediately as she clung to Chin.

"I'm sorry" Kono sobbed.

"I know you are it's happened we can forget it now" Chin said.

"Why didn't you tell mum everything?" Kono hiccupped.

"Because I was already mad enough with you, you didn't need your mum being really mad too." Chin said simply

"I thought you didn't think I was a good surfer that's why I went out there. You said I couldn't handle it and I thought that you could and I wanted to prove that I could as well." Kono explained tearfully.

"Oh Cuz sweetheart I didn't mean you were a bad surfer. You're amazing and I always brag about you but even I couldn't handle those waves." Chin said gently.

"I won't do it again…I'm a bit scared to go in the water again" Kono admitted. Although she was a strong swimmer and she had held on longer than most the incident had shaken her up.

"When you're better I'll take you back out in the water you'll be fine you just need get back out there." Chin encouraged.

Kono smiled and closed her tired eyes. Chin grinned as he watched Kono snuggle into him to try and sleep. He grabbed the blanket and laid it over the both of them before flicking a film on. It didn't take long and Kono was asleep.
