"What did you do?"

Newt squatted down in front of ANBU's most precious charge, raking a hand through her green hair as the little girl smiled and continued to colour her picture book. With a sideways glance at Kaida's self-appointed bodyguards/future teammates Newt sighed as they shrugged their shoulders.

Standing tall she looked over the playground, noting who was there and who was not. Teachers on duty, some in the break room, students coming out with balls and skipping ropes, some played hopscotch and others Ninja. Nothing was amiss.

"What time is it Newt?"

Large emerald eyes filled Newts vision, the groan from Seko and Juca all she needed to know that yes the four year old had done something and she wasn't being paranoid. With a sigh she gave Kaida the time and catching the rustle of leaves above her looked up to see Squirrel shake his head – he had found nothing, no evidence or clue, whatever Ibiki and Sakura's Little Angel had done she hadn't left any trace after her.

"Angel."

"C'mon Angel you have to share with your teammates."

The two boys pleaded with the burgundy haired girl, getting down on their knees and begging causing Kaida to giggle as Newt shook her head in amusement.

"Pleasssseeee."

"Ya gotta share!"

Covering her mouth to stifle her laughter Kaida put away her colouring book and tilted her head, a frown on her face. "Newt, what's the time?"

"It's twelve thirty."

With a huge smile she turned on the bench and legs swinging watched the school yard, her gaze zeroing in on the three little madams who had bullied her on her very first day at the Academy, five weeks ago.

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0"

Newt exchanged a masked looked at Squirrel, eyes the only thing betraying her worry as she looked around the school yard, the frown and pout on Kaida's face making her sigh in relief only to curse as a smile broke onto the girl's face and she clapped her hands before sitting on them and trying to hide her happiness.

"Sensei!"

Hair whipping around her head Newt looked towards the direction Kaida had been smiling at and the call for a Sensei to see Anna and her two cohorts vomiting as they held their stomachs and cried out, dark stains covering their backsides as they cried more in embarrassment as surrounding kids started to laugh and point. With shrieks and cries the three waddled to the school doors and toilets, stopping to clutch their stomachs and put a hand to their skirts or shorts, faces flaming red in humiliation.

Eyes wide Newt looked up at Squirrel who had nearly fallen out of the tree in shock and was now looking at Morino Kaida in horror and pride. Juca and Seko were holding their sides in laughter, tears streaming down their faces as they praised Angel.

"I didn't do anything."

Newt filed off the voice tone – not too innocent or sure, posture – no guilt just curiosity now she had calmed from her giddiness, face – that needed a little bit of work she trying not to smile.

"Angel?"

Turning to look up at Newt, Kaida gave her the wide emerald eyes treatment - the four year old unknowingly widened them when she was up to something, she needed to work on that.

"Sensei told them not to eat all the buns."

With a smirk so like her Dad's Kaida returned to her colouring, Juca and Seko taking a crayon and joining the little mastermind as Newt picked up her backpack and rifled through it, a clinking noise ringing out before Newt pulled out the small glass vial, the small empty glass vial. Uncorking it she carefully sniffed it, wafting any fumes to her and held it up to the light to see traces of a green mixture, with a sigh she put it back in the backpack making a note to tell Sakura to double check the security of her poisons, antidotes and medicines from now on, or at least the deadlier ones.

Ibiki would be so proud.
