Tears and Fear

Welcome to the second arc people!

"I know but its kind of reassuring that some things will always be the same." I said while staring down at the scroll in my hand. Well, let's see what's inside
*POOF*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter Start~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On top of the scroll in my hand laid 3 boxes and another scroll, I quickly placed them to my left and looked at Yugito. "Should we check them out now? Or later?" I said while running my hand over the gifts.
"Hmmm, we should do it now in case its something important" Yugito replied while walking over to my side of the room.
I hummed in agreement and picked up the first box, it held 12 shuriken and kunai with a small note under, it read: 'Don't use these until you get out of the academy otherwise A will grill me.' I stared at the note before turning it into an airplane and throwing it at Yugito, who got hit in the eye.
"Ow, Shin you idiot! Don't throw that inside" she said while massaging her eyelid.
"You are only mad because you got hit" I said between laughs.
I placed the equipment box on the bedside table and opened up the next one it held 5 scrolls containing different techniques with another note. 'You need one of these for the academy and I don't know your affinity so do as you please.' I could hear his voice rapping out the letter as he wrote it and I was starting to get annoyed. 'He is still trying to get me into that stuff' I thought before unravelling one of them.
Yugito sat behind me and looked over my shoulder at the note. "What does he mean by affinity?" She asked while I read the technique on the scroll.
"It means elemental affinity, its basically what type of jutsu you will be good at." I replied while unconsciously pulling the stack of papers from my inventory, 'Oh shit'.
"Woah, Shin where did you get that from? That paper wasn't there before" She probed while grabbing the stack from my hand.
"What are you talking about? Anyways just rip a corner off and hand it back." I noted while going back to reading.
"Alright then" She replied in a disbelieving tone while ripping off a small corner. "So, I just put chakra into this?" She continued and I nodded my head.
Yugito poured some chakra into her paper next to me and I watched as it burnt to a crisp, 'Makes sense because of the two tails' I mused while getting back to the scroll.
I was trying to focus on this technique called "Lightning style: Flash" which was a D-rank technique that produced a small amount of lightning chakra into the fingertips, creating a flash of light. I could already think of the uses for this, especially against the hyuuga's byakugan and if I constantly put chakra into it, I could make a small light source, though fire release would be better for that.
Keyword in that last paragraph, trying as Yugito kept blabbering on about making techniques with fire release like huge meteorites of fire and a superhot laser. Several tickmarks appeared on my head and I activated my eyes subconsciously.
"Please shut the fuck up for the ever-loving god Yugito!" I yelled while she was dancing around pointing her fingers out.
"Woah, Shin said a bad word! Naughty boy, need to put soap in your mouth" she sang while running out to the bathroom 'Oh fuck'.
"Lightning style: Flash" Had no handsigns so it was useful as a quick distraction depending on how much chakra you put in, but I had no idea how to make my chakra into the lightning chakra form. I remembered something from the Naruto manga about making weapons vibrate with chakra, so I tried to imagine it.
I poured chakra into my fingertip and tried to make it shake violently, I started to feel strain, so I opened my eyes and a flash of light came out, before immediately dissipating. 'Haha! This stuff it easy' I thought before looking to my left where there was a screen.
"Would you like to learn Lightning style: flash? Y/N"
'Oh for fuck's sake' I mentally screamed before looking at the next box below it.
"You have learned a technique without the system's help! A 5-skill voucher has been deposited into your inventory as a gift!"
"Skill gained 'Lightning style: Flash"
'Alls well that ends well I guess.' I thought as I opened my inventory to see how many of the vouchers I had, I remembered getting more from something else, but I couldn't quite remember.
In my inventory there were all the mission rewards I gained including "Lightning style: Lightbulb" which I quickly grabbed out and learned.
"Skill 'Lightning style: Lightbulb' Gained"
There were a few skill vouchers there 3x 5 skill vouchers and 1x 1 skill voucher. I pulled up my status to see what skills I should invest in.

My basic skills were at an ok level, so I decided to put 2 5 skill vouchers into flash and 1 into lightbulb gaining 3 levels. I used the stat points from those to increase my very lacking charisma stat bringing that up to 7 and the last 10 points into chakra bringing it to 25.
I could feel the chakra inside my body increase rapidly as Yugito walked back in. "I have the soap for your potty mouth young man" she said jokingly before walking back over to me.
"Have you finished with that yet?" She inquired while I closed the scroll.
"Yes, I have. I learnt the technique, look." I answered while holding up my finger, vibrating chakra into the tip of it before it fizzled out. Just from those 2 uses I had wasted 20 chakra points which annoyed me.
"Nice, are there any for me?" She asked with stars in her eyes. I pointed out one of the other scrolls on the bed and said "read up on it and be ready for lunch" while walking out of the room.
Since I was 2 years old now, I could talk but it was still annoying with the child voice I had no one would take me seriously. It was still a year until I could enrol at the earliest with Yugito and she was waiting for me with permission from the matron.
1 Hour Later
It was getting close to lunchtime, and I walked back in the room to tell Yugito to wash up and help. When I entered, I saw her deep into reading the scroll on her side while fumbling around with her fingers.
"Yugito? You alright?" I asked and she turned around.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but how did you get it so fast?" She asked while putting the scroll away.
"Guess I'm just too smart" I chuckled while she had a sad look on her face.
"Maybe." She mused while pushing past me and out the door.
'I forgot that she is just a kid.' I thought while staring at the boxes on my bed.
"Yugito! Wait up!" I called out while chasing her down the hall, to which she ignored.
During lunch Yugito didn't say a word but when we got back to the room, she turned around to me and said "Why are you so good at this? Why are you so smart? Why do you know everything while I know nothing? You are younger than me, but I feel like a toddler while you are an adult!" She yelled while I stood blank faced at the door. I didn't expect an outburst from her but that was my fault. I put my expectations as someone with over 30 years more experience in her up to the standards of an adult, but it felt nice, that I could be with Yugito, and she would know what I was doing and thinking while I walked along not giving a shit about who this toddler actually was. I treated her like a side character to my life and expected her to support me in every way and look up to me without betraying me, that was my bad, I shouldn't have put such trust in a toddler.
I walked forwards and said, "Because I have to be one." I knew it wasn't the right thing to say, especially to a kid who probably couldn't read between the lines but that's all that came to mind when I heard her speech.
"What? You have to be one? I'm supposed to protect you! You are my younger brother! I'm supposed to be the one looking out for you, not the other way around!" She yelled back while I took a step towards the door again.
"You don't know anything Yugito! You don't know who I am! I thought you were different and would understand but you aren't. You can't just sit back and watch the show! It's my life and I'll act or think however I want! I'm special Yugi, think of it as that. Don't worry your little brain because you wouldn't understand if I told you!" My thoughts were all over the place, but I knew what I said was wrong, but I also couldn't bring myself to apologise, she didn't understand, she never would.
Tears formed in her eyes as she brought her hand up to slap me, I effortlessly swatted it away and said, "I'm not one for cheap shots Yugi, you should know that I'm not a child you should know that, but you don't!" I walked past her crying figure and sat on my bed. Dinner was skipped that night.
For the next week me and Yugito were quite separate, we didn't sleep together as usual, we didn't joke around, we barely even spoke besides a thanks when one would pass the salt to the other. The matron noticed something was wrong, I'm sure everyone did but she was the one to take us aside.
"What the hell is going on between you two?" She barked while looking between us. It was childish to be pulled aside like this. I was an adult man, but I got pulled aside over some stupid argument that really meant nothing. At least, that's what it was to me.
"It's dumb don't worry about it" I said, brushing her off and starting to leave before she grabbed my arm. "You aren't to leave this room until you solve it child." She replied in an icy tone while leaving the room, locking it from the outside.
"Yugito, I'm sorry" I said, thinking that would do anything, Yugito was a kid but she wasn't dumb.
"What is that supposed to mean? You said it yourself; I don't understand anything about you. But you won't tell me about you so I can. This is on you Shin, its your turn to explain why, you have lied to me before but you better not now, or we can stop this now and act like we have never met." She said in a calm and mature tone, she had grown up a lot after her parent's deaths and I was glad she was around, I wouldn't trade that for anything, but if I told her wouldn't she just leave anyways? She wouldn't trust me at all… right?
"I know! I know its on me! But even if I told you it wouldn't matter! It would be different; I don't want that! I don't need anyone else to leave!" I yelled back in a high tone. 'This isn't right. Why am I the one bitching? What did I ever do to improve myself? Maybe its my fault? No! Its them! Always them! They build up my trust just for them to leave! I'm so bad at living even the gods pity me!' I thought as tears finally started to come from my eyes.
It's funny, I was there crying and yelling like a child, and she was the adult in this situation. I looked up at her and she was smiling, in the childish goofy way that all kids do. It reminded me of my own, the ones that are gone, so far gone I can't remember them anymore and I hated it. I reached out towards Yugito and she grabbed my hand as if to say 'I'll be here'. 'Fucking liar!' I thought while activating my eyes. That's when I saw what I knew was coming, the look of fear, of hate, in that stupid fucking grin, that meant betrayal. I choked on my own tears as I started to cough and sputter, my grip strengthened and started to draw blood on the back of her hand, but her face didn't waver, she just kept smiling.
I hated it
I think that's a good place to end it right? Don't worry I'll finish this engagement in the next few hours and release it same day as usual. Unless I don't feel like it. Anyways, review and stuff I really want to know what you thought of the stuff between Shin and Yugito, she's just a kid and he is putting too much on her, right?
Bye bye! -tired
