Part 10

Mizuki turned around and was greeted with a hug. She didn't know who it was, until that person pulled away. Mizuki looked at the person, and said, "When did you get here?! Why didn't you tell me?! I haven't seen you for a long time!" Her arms flew around his neck. He placed his hands around her waist and held her tight.

"I just came here." Mizuki smiled in his shoulder. "I missed you so much, Yuuto! No one here isn't as annoying as you!" Yuuto chuckled. Mizuki knew that chuckle. A girl would die for that chuckle, or even his smile.

"MIZUKI! I DON'T GET ONE EITHER?!" Mizuki letted go of Yuuto and looked over Yuuto's shoulder to see who yelled her name. She looked at the person, and in a matter of seconds, she ran towards that person.

"DAMN! I haven't seen you at all!" She flinged her arms around him. He smiled and said, "Yuuto haven't been as supportive as you, Mizuki." Mizuki giggled and said, "Wow, Riku, where did you get that sense of humor?" She letted go of him. She saw Tenten looked at her and looked towards Neji and said, "Wow, she hugs everyone she sees. No wonder she's not complaining that she's been raped." Yuuto and Riku heard, they wanted Tenten to take back her words, but Mizuki stopped them. "She's one of my teammates now. Please don't hurt her, and it's my special day."

Riku agreed and walked over to get some sushi. But Yuuto still looked mad. "Yuuto, calm down." She tried to pull Yuuto away from Tenten as possible. She didn't want him to hurt her, or even worst, put a genjutsu on her. "How are you going to let her talk to you like that! Even about your weakest subject! She knew you heard her! She did it on purpose! You're just going to let that slide?" Mizuki nodded her head and said, "It's ok, I've been through all those already. I don't care if she talks about me, I don't want to do anything to her, she's my comrade now."

"WELL, I'M NOT HER COMRADE, AND I CARE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YOU, MIZUKI! I'M NOT GOING TO LET HER SLIDE! HOW CAN SHE SAY THAT YOU GOT RAPED?! YOU DIDN'T EVEN GET RAPED! I HATE PEOPLE WHO TALKS ABOUT THEIR COMRADES LIKE THAT! WHY TREAT HER LIKE A COMRADE WHEN SHE DOESN'T TREAT YOU AS A COMRADE! I'M NOT GOING TO LET ANYONE SAY ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO YOU! I WON'T!" Yuuto yelled. Mizuki turned around to see almost everyone staring at both of them.

"Hello, there's nothing there to listen to, they're talking nonsense, as usual." Riku said, covering for us. He went over and sat next to Sakura, flirting with her. Sakura blushed alot. Riku was damn fine for a thirteen year old, too.

"Yuuto, please calm down. This is my day. I've always listened to you, please listen to me this time. Please, don't do anything to her. Please." Mizuki pleaded. Yuuto looked down, took her shoulders and said, "You're too nice." He letted go of her and walked towards Riku. Mizuki sighed.

Mizuki walked towards Yuuto and Riku and asked them, "How long are you staying here and what happened at the village?" Riku ignored her, arguing with Naruto about Sakura. Yuuto said, "Well, we're leaving tonight, and Mizukage said that we have a new teammate as your replacement, but both me and Riku agreed that no one could ever replace you. The Mizukage agreed and left our group as it is." Mizuki nodded. Sakura started a conversations with Yuuto. Mizuki walked towards Neji, Tenten, and Lee, feeling very awkward.

She sat down and looked around for about fifteen minutes while Tenten and Neji talked to each other, and Lee walked up to Riku, yelling at him for flirting with Sakura, Naruto then yelled at Lee. Sakura didn't pay attention to the three guys fighting for her, she was too busy listening to Yuuto talking. I know Riku didn't like Sakura, he just wanted to start something for the fun of it.

Naruto and Sakura left.

Five minutes later, Yuuto and Riku walked towards Mizuki and tapped her shoulder. Mizuki turned around and Neji and Tenten stopped their conversation and looked at them. "We're leaving now." Yuuto said. "Yeah, my mother wants me home by ten." Riku said. Mizuki giggled and stood up and hugged Riku. "Bye, Riku. Be positive about your training. Don't dazzle to many people, okay?" Mizuki said. Riku laughed, "I'll try not to dazzle the girls." Mizuki laughed.

"Okay! Your taking too long! I'm growing impatient now!" Yuuto said. Mizuki laughed and Riku letted go of her. Yuuto hugged Mizuki before Mizuki knew he hugged her. "Don't let anyone say anything mean to you, okay? If they do, kick their ass, or you can tell me and I'll come and kick their ass, and they'll be sorry." Mizuki giggled. "After what you said, I don't think I would let tell you if someone was talking about me." Mizuki giggled again. "Don't let any guy come near you, because the guys would die for your voice, your smile, your giggle, your face structure, and your beautiful eyes. Like how I would die a million times to save you." Yuuto held me tighter. "Yuuto, don't start being corny, okay?" Mizuki said. "Too late." Riku added in.

"I don't know when we're going to see each other again, maybe this will be our last goodbye." Yuuto said, putting his head on hers. "This isn't a goodbye, Yuuto. This is a simple I'll see you later." Yuuto nodded and said, "Please take care, I'm not here by your side anymore, so I can't protect you." Mizuki said, "Don't worry. Nothing will happen. I have comrades here now." Yuuto said, " I love you, Mizuki. I didn't want you to be a ninja here, but this was your choice, and your mother's. I'm going to miss you. ALOT. No guy in this world loves you more than I do. I love you."

"Okay, okay. Let's go." Riku said. I letted go of Yuuto and Riku sepreated us apart. Riku dragged Yuuto ten yards away without even knowing he did so.

"BYE RIKU, BYE YUUTO! I'LL SEE YOU SOON! TAKE CARE! TELL MIZUKAGE THAT I SAID HELLO! DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME! I'LL BE FINE! I'M GOING TO MISS YOU ALOT!" Mizuki yelled. Riku had his back towards her and gave her a wave. Yuuto wanted to run back and say something to Mizuki, but Riku kept on dragging him. He kept on turning around now and then. Mizuki waved until they were out of sight.

Mizuki sighed, and sat down. She curled herself into a ball. She placed her hands around her legs, and placed her head on her knees, and looked at the grass. Neji and Tenten continued their conversation.

After ten minutes, Mizuki looked to see no one there except Neji and Tenten who were absorbed with their conversation to see their surroundings. "Neji, Tenten." They looked at her, then looked around, and stood up. "Tenten, I'm going to walk you home." Neji said. Tenten turned bright red, then looked at Mizuki in disappointment.

"I'm walking home. You two have fun." Mizuki winked. Tenten's disapppointment faded. Both of them walked the other way, while Mizuki walked the other way.

"She's not all that bad." Tenten said. Neji nodded. "It's just that... " Neji looked at her with curious eyes, but with a straight face. She continued, "Well, it's kinda personal." Neji looked at her for a minute and then looked ahead.

They walked until they came to a stop. Tenten walked straight, while Neji turned right.

The next morning, Neji and Mizuki wanted to visit Lee. Lee haven't gone through surgery yet. All three of them talked until they looked down to see Shikamaru, Naruto, Kiba, and Chouji. Neji walked down before Mizuki and Lee could. Mizuki swung Lee's left arm around her neck, and placed her hand around his wais, and walked down.

We all where outside of Konoha. "Oh. Sasuke left the village to seek Orochimaru." Neji said. Shikamaru nodded.

"Well, then. I'm coming with you guys." Mizuki said. All eyes fell on her.

"No, Mizuki. You're not going with them." Everyone looked over Mizuki's shoulder to see no other then Tsunade. "Why can't I go?" "Because, I'm telling you not to go." "I have nothing to do at the village, and they need as much people as possible!" "You're not going." "Please let me go!" "I SAID NO!" "Every group needs a medical ninja!" "YOU'RE NOT GOING AND THATS FINAL!" "TSUNADE-SAMA!" "Talk back to me with that tone, and you're not going to do anything for this village" "HOW AM I GOING TO LET MY COMRADES LEAVE LIKE THIS! THERE'S A CHANGE THAT THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK! I'M GOING!" Mizuki yelled.

Slap.
