The sunlight glared through through the window as Kou listened to the blaring sound of the village as he pushed himself up. He forced himself to stand up and stagger to the sink and splash water in his face. He ran up to his bathroom and began to throw up. "I think we have another Tsunade." A mocking voice spoke behind him. He turned and saw Kakashi sitting on his window sill.
"You know Naruko was gonna come searching for you, your teammates care." "That isn't what this is about." "I've been there while Naruko worked so hard to reach the top, I've been there while she trained her elemental affinities, and I was there while she tried to master the Kyuubi. Tell me she hasn't earned that trust." "Whatever." Before he could shunshin ninja wire wrapped around him. "Just remember if you ever hurt or betray your teammates, nothing will stop me from destroying you." He said while pulling up his headband and showing his furiously spinning sharingan. Kakashi tossed him a soldier pill before disappearing in a poof of smoke.
The ninja wire loosened as Kou popped the pill in his mouth before shunshining away. As he reached the training ground he set down the bento and walked towards the sounds of smacking near the dummies. He shunshined and started to cautiously walk towards the sounds. He saw a familiar flash of blond hair as she pounded the training dummies.
"Ahem" Naruko turned towards the sound. "Oh it's you, here to tell me I'm nothing but the Hokage's daughter." "No I'm here to apologize. I know you've worked hard to reach this level and being the Hokage's daughter had nothing to do with it." "Damn right Naruko Namikaze made it by herself." She grinned before giving him a hug. "Wh-wh-why'd you hug me?" He asked uncomfortable from contact. She laughed, "To see if I could make you stutter, instead of the sad angsty attitude you normally put up. Like my life is pain." Hearing her impression of him he began to join her in laughing and that's how Sasuke found them laughing their heads off.
"Good to see you worked things out." Sasuke said as they turned,saw him,and began to calm down. They all sat on the ground waiting and slipped into comfortable conversation driven forward by Naruko. Kakashi eventually appeared in a poof of smoke and smirked when he saw they had all shunshined backwards and disrupted their chakra flow. "Hello genin-chan, I have a new training plan for you guys. Kou catch," he tossed Kou a scroll for tree walking, "Naruko and Sasuke we're going to spar and train your skills." "But Kakashi-Nii shouldn't Kou train with us." "It's okay I'll learn this and then join you." He said forcing a smile before shunshining away.
Bang 'Again, I'll get this if it kills me. Kou looked at the sun high in the sky. 'Maybe it's time to get some lunch.' He shunshined into the field and saw Naruko using her clones to form a spiraling blue ball. He sat on tree branch watching her run it into a tree and drill halfway before it exploded popping the clones and launching her backwards. Before she could fall he shunshined down and caught her.
"Hey where are Sasuke and Kakashi?" He said obliviously not noticing the slight pink on her cheeks as he set her down. "They went off to train his Sharingan." "What was that jutsu you were using?" "That's the rasengan invented by my dad." She responded proudly "Oh wow, that looks hard do you wanna break for lunch." "Sure." He shunshined quickly grabbing his bento before walking up a tree and sitting on a branch. Naruko walked up and sat next to him.
He began to dig in enjoying the fresh tempura and sashimi. He looked over noticing her watching hungrily. He saw her empty handed and silently handed her some yakitori and tempura. She looked at him curiously, "You didn't have to give me some." "You're probably hungry just eat it." She took a bite before her eyes widened, "Wow this is amazing." "Really." "Yeah it tastes great." She smiled before digging in. Kou turned back to eating before feeling a tap on his shoulder, "Do you have anymore food?" She said making puppy eyes, he sighed before pushing the whole bento over to her and watched her inhale the food. They sat enjoying the sunlight and watching the river.
