Part 3
"Hn, fine, you can do whatever you want." Neji said. He started walking towards his room, passed Mizuki, and gave her an empty expression.
"Mizuki-nii-chan, you're room is across from Neji's, but don't worry, Hinata's room is beside yours." Hanabi said. She followed Hanabi towards a hall with many doors, she could tell these doors, are the bedrooms.
She opened the door to my room, it had a flat bed, the bed she liked, it was the first thing you can see when you walk in, it's right in front of the door, an there was a small tea table in the middle of the room, and a mirror in a corner, and another sliding door to the closet. It was simple, but nice.
"Mizuki-nii-chan, this is your room. Do you remember it?" Mizuki nodded, it was the same room where Neji and she played games together when they were little kids. She turned around to face Hanabi, "This is the first time I'm meeting you, right?" Hanabi nodded, and then Mizuki smiled. "I'm going to let you unpack your things." She walked outside of the room, "Wait, I made sushi, please eat that for dinner." "Hai."
She finished unpacking, and was ready to talk to Hizashi. She opened her slide door, and turned back around to close it, as she did, the door of the room across from her opened, she turned around to see Neji opening his door. He still gave her the empty look, but this one had some mad in it. She smiled at him, and then bowed, but Neji just walked away from her, towards the main room.
I walked after him, not because to talk to Neji, it was because, earlier, while she unpacked, Hinata knocked and told me that her father wanted to talk to me about something.
"Ah, Mizuki, Tsunade-sama wants to meet you." Yes, she is the Hokage now. I nodded my head, and headed out, "But, Neji's coming with you." She turned around to face him, and Neji turned to look at Hizashi as if he was insane. "She can go by herself, she's a ninja." Hinata and Hanabi sat on the other side of the room, watching.
"Yes, Hizash-sama, I can go by myself, I know Konoha very well." However, Hizashi did not let it slide. "No, Neji's coming with you, you're the guest, and besides, you're injured." Yuuto nodded and said, "Sometimes, she coughs out blood and faints. She can't be lying around the streets if that happens."
Neji looked at Yuuto and said, "Why can't you go then?"
Yuuto said, "As much as I want to go, I was also sent here to do some errands for the Mizukage." With that, he left.
"Neji and Mizuki, go along now." Hizashi said.
Neji sighed and led the way to the Hokage's office.
At Hokage's office
Tsunade was working on her documents until she heard a knock. Ah, she must be here already. "Come in." Shizune placed the documents aside. By that time, Mizuki and Neji appeared. "Tsunade-sama, Shizune-nii-chan." She bowed. Shizune bowed back, but Tsunade just looked at her. Neji also looked at Mizuki, how did she know Shizune?
"Mizuki, long time no see?" Mizuki nodded. Tsunade walked towards Mizuki and touched her hair. "You've grown since the last time I saw you." Mizuki smiled. "You also have that same smile that I adore." Shizune added. Mizuki glanced at Shizune and said, "Thank you." Tsunade asked, "When was the last time I saw you?" Mizuki thought for awhile before Shizune said, "It's been five years."
"Yes, you were this little, little kids, ha, time flies by so fast. I can't believe you went to Hide-In-The-Mist Village, we looked around for you and your mother. We found your mother's gravestone, but not you. So that's where you have been."
Neji stood in confusion, they know each other?
Mizuki sensed the confusion and giggled. "Ah, the same giggle too, but I'm sure Neji doesn't know what's going on." Mizuki and Shizune giggled. Tsunade continued, "Alright, I have to finish my work here. Bye Mizuki, Neji." Tsunade hugged Mizuki, after that Shizune hugged Mizuki.
As they walked home, Yuuto came from behind and scared Mizuki, "Yuuto, what are you doing here?" Yuuto shrugged, "Well, I'm leaving tonight and I have to leave you here, so do you want to train for a bit?" Mizuki nodded, she haven't trained in a long time. "Neji-san can you walk home alone? Or do you want me to come with you so that you won't get in trouble with Hizashi-sama?" Neji walked towards his house and said,"Do whatever you like."
"That guy has an attitude problem, let me kick his ass." Yuuto said, looking at the back of Neji in disgusted. "Didn't you say that we're going to train?" Yuuto nodded, and led me the way outside of Konoha to train.
Neji on the other hand, when he heard that they were training, he wanted to know the skill that Mizuki didn't use to him, but he didn't want to go alone.
Good thing, he saw Tenten buying fruits on the streets, he walked next to her and said, "Hey Tenten, you know that girl Mizuki?" Tenten jumped back three feet with a kunai in her hands, she looked scared. When she noticed that it was just Neji, she putted her kunai back and said," Yeah, what about her?" Neji hestitated for a bit but he said, "Well, her and her teammate is training outside of Konoha right now." Tenten was also curious about how strong this Mizuki is. "She is?! Let's go see what's her little skill, let's see if she can really do it, unless she's lying." Both of them sneaked out of Konoha, and hid behind a tree where Mizuki and Yuuto was at.
"Ok, Mizuki use your skill." Yuuto said. "But Yuuto, Mizukage told me not to use that skill." Mizuki told Yuuto. But Yuuto had a better excuse, "Well, if you don't try it you'll never find out what happens to you after you use the attack." He took a nearby log and placed it upward, and smiled. Boy, was Yuuto nosy. Yes, peer pressure, Mizuki sighed, and made a hand gesture so fast no one could've seen what it was.
Seconds later, two water dragons flew up, and they crashed into the log. Smoke was coming from the log. All Tenten and Neji saw was smoke, two water dragons flying up, then returning down. They couldn't see the log anymore, there was to much smoke.
When the attack was done, the log was scattered all over the floor, it wasn't a log anymore, it was like a thousand twigs on the floor. Mizuki wasn't cured with her heart from Neji's attack, so, her irregular heartbeat made her faint. Yuuto caught her in time, looked at her, and said, "Stupid Neji." he carried Mizuki with his arms and jumped back in Konoha.
"Neji, why did he call you stupid?" Tenten asked, looking at Neji. Neji said coolly, "During the Chuunin Exam, during our match, I aimed for her heart twice." Tenten nodded and asked again, "He carried Mizuki like she didn't weigh a thing." Neji thought, yeah, that's true... "Well, bye Tenten." Neji said, "Bye Neji. Have fun living with that girl" Tenten made a disgusted face.
Neji walked home alone, thinking,' if she used that technique on me, I wouldn't be here today. She's someone i can't lose to." He arrived home. "Neji-san ! Time for dinner!" Hanabi yelled. Neji had an emotionless face until he saw Mizuki at the front door of the house, panting. Hanabi ran over to help Mizuki and asked, "What happened to you?" Mizuki said truthfully, "I was training, and after i used a technique, I fainted, Yuuto took me to the hospital, he insist me to stay in there, but I didn't need to. So, I had to run away from him, he used two genjustsu for me to stop running, but it didn't work." Hanabi helped Mizuki sit on a chair.
"Father's not here, so the four of us would be eating together." Hinata said, carrying a dish of sushi Mizuki made. Neji looked at the sushi, and back at Hinata and said, "Why aren't we eating the regular food?" Hanabi helped Mizuki kneel down next to Neji and she walked across the table to kneel in front of her. [remember, they sit kneeling. like normal japanese people Neji looked at Mizuki and asked, "Who made it?" Hanabi said, "Mizuki made it." Hinata took a bite out of her sushi, Hanabi followed. Both of their eyes lit up. "Mizuki! This is the best sushi I've ever tried! It's so good!" Hanabi yelled. Hinata nodded her head in agreement.
"Neji-san, aren't you going to eat? You should try it, it's very good." Hinata said. Neji looked at the sushi for a few minutes and said, "I'm not going to die early." Mizuki looked down, and Neji walked back into his room. "Don't worry Mizuki-chan, it's very good." Hinata tried to comfort Mizuki, but Mizuki said, "You guys have fun eating, I don't feel that well, I'll be in my room if you need me." Hanabi and Hinata looked at each other, wondering what's wrong with both of them.
The next day ...
Mizuki woke up, brushed her teeth, took a shower, and dressed. When she opened her door, she saw Neji closed his door. He turned around, gave her an evil stare, and walked into the main room. Mizuki sighed, and walked into the main room.
When she entered the main room, she saw Hizashi. She bowed and said, "Good morning, Hizashi-sama." Hizashi looked up from the paper he was looking at and said, "Oh, good morning Mizuki. Tsunade-sama sent another mail saying that she wants you and Neji at her office at one.
