Chapter 2
Thanks to my beta Malicethroughthelookingglass
Katsumi stood silently beside her brother wrapped up in a dark blue scarf and black knitted jumper. Kakashi kept glancing at her trying to gauge her expression under her black mask. She grinned at him closing her eyes in the classic Hatake smile. Her long silver hair fluttered gently as they stood communicating with small familiar gestures. Kakashi smirked back under his dark blue mask pulling his green scarf tighter around his neck. Katsumi's eyes flickered from her brother's face and connected with two large brown orbs studying her from across the crowd. Rin Nohara blinked as their eyes made contact but she didn't look away. Despite the awkwardness of the eye contact Katsumi just raised a gloved hand and fluttered her fingers in a wave. Rin's cheeks turned a light shade of pink but she waved back with a gentle smile. Kakashi followed his sister's gaze but his eyes locked on the obvious Uchiha who was beside the girl who had caught his sister's attention. Kakashi noted the way the boy forcefully blinked his eyes when his eyes landed on Katsumi, as if he was a little taken aback. Kakashi's face hardened as he snatched his sister's hand from the air and weaved their fingers together. Katsumi looked up at him in slight alarm, but seeing his expression decided to just roll with it.
All of the students were gathered outside for sparring and Katsumi was not looking forward to her turn. A boy in a green one piece was standing a few steps away focusing on the spar going on with huge almost twinkling eyes. Katsumi bit her lip to hold in a giggle.
Their teacher called her brother's name along with the name Obito Uchiha. Katsumi gave her brother's hand a squeeze and blinked up at him with her big non-matching eyes. Kakashi rolled his own in response and made his way to meet his opponent, leaving his twins hand hanging limp at her side once again. Katsumi brought her hands up to her choppy bangs and brushed them to the side. From the way Kakashi acted before their spar it was obvious to her that Obito had already done something to annoy him, though she wasn't sure of what it was. Katsumi took a deep breath through her nose and tried her best to not let it bother her. She scraped her ninja sandals in the dirt bored out of her brains; she tried to amuse herself by writing her name in the earth, followed by her twins name of course. With a swift brush of her foot she erased her carefully etched name and began to write her brother's name.
Katsumi was paired against Rin for her spar and although she didn't want to fight the kind Kunoichi, she would not let everyone think she was inferior to her twin. Rin's Taijutsu was not the best, granted they were both five, but Katsumi out classed her in both technique and execution. Katsumi was fast and precise, landing mock blows to the girl's torso not willing to actually hurt her. With a swift movement Katsumi moved behind her opponent and caught her in a headlock. The teacher motioned that the spar was over and Katsumi let her go. Rin stumbled slightly only to be caught by Katsumi's gentle hands, keeping her from falling to the ground. When Rin had her balance back Katsumi held out two fingers for opponent to take and complete the spar. Rin looked a bit shell shocked but she completed the motion all the same. With a cloth covered smile and a hair flick, Katsumi made her way back to her smug looking brother.
