Chapter 27: Swimming Lessons and Girl Talk
"What a drag" Suki and Shikamaru sighed in unison as they looked at each other.
"Alright! Lets go swimming!" Cheered the hyper Inuzuka father, throwing his fist in the air as Akamaru barked and wagged his tail, "Come on you two, to the ocean water!" He then began running towards the water with Akamaru following behind him.
"Shesh Suki…you really sure you want him to teach us…he's a little…well a little-"
"Troublesome" Suki said, finishing her fathers sentence, as the two walked towards the ocean waters. Both dreading the lessons they were about to receive from Kiba.
Temari and Emiko decided to stay inside the hotel with Daichi, well more like Emiko was told to couldn't go play in the water because she decided to play a small prank on her mother. The young Nara didn't think that the crab would pinch her mom THAT hard.
Emiko sighed, sitting down on the couch, "Come on mom…I said I was sorry, so can I go out and play now?" She asked looking up at her mom with her pouty face.
"Sorry Em, but your not going outside today." Temari answered, feeding Daichi, "Besides who would you play with? Your sister is somewhere with your father, Yukio is spending time with his mom and little sister, and Aiko is going to stay with his parents today."
"I know" Emiko stood, and walked into the kitchen, "Hey mom…how'd you know dad was the one you really liked? The two of you are complete opposites, dads lazy and thinks before he acts, while you aren't so lazy…cause your always doing stuff."
"Are you saying I don't think before I act?" Temari asked raising an eyebrow at her daughter after laying Daichi down on his crib, she then walked over and sat down beside her daughter on the couch, "Well….?"
Emiko smiled, not able to help think how funny her mom looked, "I never said that mom" She then sighed, "You didn't answer me"
"I know I didn't" Temari laid back in the couch and Emiko laid beside her, "You want to know how I came to love a lazy man like your father?" She began running her fingers threw Emiko's dark hair.
"Well yea, that's why I asked" She then looked up at her mom, "But don't make it boring"
"Why do you want to know?" Temari asked, "Your not the kind of-" She thought for a minute, then got a serious look on her face, and sat up, "Who's the boy you like Emiko?" She asked, looking down at her daughter.
Emiko began blushing and sat up, "W-What are you talking about mom….I-I don't have a crush. I'm t-to young for that stuff"
Temari shook her head, "Your not telling me the truth Emiko. So who's the guy I gotta--wait a minute, you don't like Yukio…do you?" She asked, an eyebrow raised
"M-Mom can we not talk about this anymore." Emiko asked, standing and walking over to her brothers crib, "Forget I asked anything…okay"
The blonde haired mother stood and walked over to her daughter, "Alright we wont talk about it anymore." She then placed her hand on Emiko's shoulder, "You know if something's on your mind then you can talk to me about it. I'm always here for you Em."
Emiko nodded, and looked up at her mom, "Hey mom…can you train me so I can be stronger?" She asked, not wanting to feel weak anymore.
Temari smiled and nodded at her daughter, "I'll train you, but not today…today's a day to rest."
"You've got to be kidding me…I'm NOT going under the water right now" Suki said, her arms crossed in front of her, still standing on the warm sand.
"Don't be so stubborn Suki!" Kiba shouted, "Fine, if you wont go in the water" He then walked out of the salty ocean and walked towards the young girl, "I'll drag you in-" His body suddenly froze.
"Stay right were you are Kiba" Suki said, her shadow extended from her body to his, "I said I don't want to go in the water."
Shikamaru sighed, walking over to his daughter, placing his hand on her shoulder, causing her to lose concentration on her Jutsu, releasing Kiba. "Suki, I'll make a new deal with you"
Suki looked up at her father, "Alright, what's the new deal?"
"I'll teach you how to concentrate your Chakra so you can walk on water, and I don't have to take lessons from Kiba." Shikamaru suggested
"Wait a minute the two of you wanted to learn, and now you don't want to learn cause you found out that you actually have to do some work." Kiba shook his head, "What's the fun of going to the beach if you cant swim?"
Suki sighed, then looked at her dad, "As troublesome as this is….we still gotta learn , I mean what'll happen when you run out of Chakra and you have to go across some water?"
"Look for a bridge." Shikamaru replied.
"Heh, no dad. You have to swim." Suki then began walking towards the water, mumbling how cold and troublesome this was going to be.
"Well…" Kiba said, crossing his arms looking at Shikamaru, "Gonna let your daughter show you up?"
"yea, I don't want to learn how to swim. I've got-"
"Oh no you don't dad!" Suki shouted, now in the water, "You made a deal with me, and you lost so now you have to learn how to swim." She said, looking at her lazy dad.
Kiba laughed, "Looks like you have to learn cause you couldn't beat your daughter." he then thought for a minute, "What couldn't you beat Suki at?"
Shikamaru sighed, "Fine….I'm coming" He then began walking towards the water.
Emiko sat on the couch now holding her baby brother, she looked down at him, "How come mom gets to go outside and I gotta stay in here?" she asked him, then sighed, "Your not gonna answer me, your not even old enough to know what I'm saying."
Daichi looked up at his big sister with a look of annoyance, as though he was tired of being underestimated. He then began to reach up for his sisters hair, which was down because she still couldn't find her hair ties, and was too lazy to get a new one from her mom. Once Daichi got his little fingers on her hair he began to pull on it, and laugh at the look on his sisters face.
"Ow Ow Ow! Daichi stop pulling my hair!" She said trying to pry her little brothers fingers off her dark hair. "Aww man, this is another reason I hate having my hair down."
Once Emiko got Daichi's fingers out of her hair, she stood up, still holding the heavy baby, and walked back in the bathroom to get one of Suki's hair ties. She then put her hair up in a very messy ponytail, then walked back out in the main room of the hotel and sat back down, placing Daichi on her lap.
Daichi began fussing more, and Emiko looked at her brother a little annoyed, "Now what's wro-" She sniffed a little, then scrunched her face, "You gotta be kidding me…" She then leaned her head back on the couch, letting out a loud sigh, "What a drag"
-End of chapter, heehee Emiko has to change Daichi's dirty dipper I'm so mean…well not really, she would have had to do it sooner or later…but don't worry I still love ya Emiko…well, that's all for today, I'll update more tomorrow maybe….oh and they'll be in Kohona next chapter, cause they can only be at the beach for so long…UNLESS someone has an idea for them being at the beach that they would like to tell me…if not then back to Kohona…tell me what you think…and thanks for reading.-
