We soon got to a small hot springs. "Alright, lets stop here." My dad said. We all nodded. I felt like I could go another few hours, but I knew that the rest could not. "Ken, Inu; I kneed to speak to my daughter alone for a minute, can you guys go inside and reserve a room?" my dad asked. They nodded and went inside. My eyes followed them in. once they were gone, I met my dad's hard glare. I stared back. "Mom told me." I said. "I know. And I know you're not happy with this decision, but your going to have to deal with it." He said, still staring at me with cold blue eyes. Something was different. I didn't feel that warmth and comfort I usually did when I looked into my dad's eyes. I looked away, not being able to stare that coldness in his eyes. I didn't get what was wrong. I nodded and headed inside as well, he followed. Inside, it smelt of a nice lavender aroma. I smiled as the relaxing sent took over me. Ken and Inu were there waving. We walked over to them and smiled. "Everything OK?" Ken asked. My dad smiled "Yea, every things great, don't worry about it!" I felt a small chill go up my spine. 'Lies. Everything's not OK. I'm being tracked but the Akatsuki so they can lure out my father and then kill him.' I thought to myself. My dad saw my troubled expression and reached down to rub my back. I looked up at him. I guess he could tell I would be a little worried about it all. I understood why he wouldn't want to tell Inu or Ken, so I smiled. "well, OK. I arranged a room for us and we are welcome to use the hot spring…" Ken said. "Thanks Ken. Alright then, we will! Team Naruto (hehe… I've always waned to say that) your mission is to relax for the rest of the day in the hot springs!" Ken and Inu smiled, I just rolled my eyes. What a lame mission.
Me and Inu sat in the hot springs soaking up its warm water. Ah. This felt good… until Inu decided to speak. "So Kai… you've been acting different lately… mind telling me what up?" I looked at her slightly annoyed. "I don't know what you're talking about; I've been acting the same as usual." Inu's brow ferried a little. "No! You're completely different! Now what's going on?!" I shrugged. Geez. She was so annoying sometimes. "Like I said, nothings been happening, I don't know where you got the idea that I am acting different." Inu was about to snap, I could see it. I don't know why people kept saying I was different; sure I got more power, but what does that matter. It's just some more chakra that can help me. It has nothing to do with my—"How could you say 'nothings up?!' you've been acting weird ever sense yesterday when I left. I don't get it! You use to be very perky and playful, but you've barley said one word sense the missions started! You and your dad have gotten along great in the past, and now its like you're rejecting him! as if you have something against him! you use to be nice and warm, but now your cold and mean!! Something's up now tell me!!!" In the middle of that whole lecture she managed to get behind me and pull my hair. I focused chakra with ease into my head, so it didn't hurt. My expression stayed neutral. Man, she was going to have to have a better tolerance than that if she was going to be a ninja. I brushed her hand off my head simply. She looked into my neutral eyes. Looking for something. I don't know what it was, but she couldn't find it. She stepped back socked as her angry expression soon turned to a mixture of shock, sadness, and fear. I watched as she started to fumble back and fall on her ass into the shallow end of the water. I closed my eyes and turned the other way. I started walking towards the exit, it was time for me to get out. "Hn." I said as I started to climb out. "W-what h-h-happened… to K-Kai?" Inu managed to stutter out. "If you can't see that nothing has happened to me, then you really need to become more observant. You starting to bug me, I'm going to bed." I said as I started to calmly wrap a towel around me. "N-no! something's changed and you're just not telling me!" Inu said, still in a shocked manner. "Inu. You might think something's wrong and that you know everything but you don't, and there's one thing you should know about yourself: your annoying." I said as I walked into the changing room. I heard a her gasp and only imagined what she looked like at the moment. Pathetic. Probably crying because her beloved Kai just told her something that she didn't want to hear; but, it was true. If I didn't tell her, some one else would and that was that. Hm. I'm hungry. I bet my dad and Ken are out of the baths and ready to eat. If not, I'll just start with out them. They can eat when ever. After getting dressed I made my way upstairs to our room, but when I was on my way up, I couldn't help but over hear Inu coming in from the bath. I heard her small intakes of breath and figured she was crying. Hn. Served her—"**hick** I hate you Kai… " I heard Inu whisper. I paused in my steps up the stairs. Its normal right? I mean, I just told her off, so she should hate me for telling her the truth. But why? Why do I feel guilty about it suddenly?!
