Beyond the Blue Eyes
Chapter 2:
Kiki and Sonji waited for everyone to leave before standing up. "Let's go do something." "Like what?" "I don't know we can train at my house." "Yeah okay, but not for too long or my mom will kill me."
Sonji opened the clear glass door and walked into the white padded room and waited for Kiki to show up. His white pants and shirt hung loosely on his body so that he wouldn't get too hot. He ran his fingers through his spiky hair. Eventually Kiki showed up in an identical outfit. "Okay are you ready because here I come."
Sonji came out of the training room with a swollen black eye and Kiki who had a big smile on her face. "You cheater I called timeout before the attack." "Hey there are no time outs in fights."
Sonji and Kiki came down to the kitchen to get something to eat. Hinata was busy cooking. "Hey mom." "Hey sweetie what happen to your eye?" "We were training and she cheated." Sonji shot a glare at Kiki. "Here, Kiki I already called your mom so you can stay for dinner if you like." She handed him an ice placed Sonji placed it over his eye. Kiki smiled, she loved eating Sonji's mom's food. "Yeah, that's sound great Mrs. Uzumaki, were going to need it for practice tomorrow."
"Oh that's right you guys get assigned today, how did it go?" Sonji swallowed his food, "It was weird, you know how there is only three well in our group there are four cause we all did really good on our exams. It's me, Kiki, Chrome and Sierra."
"And your instructor?" "Oh, it uncle Neji." Hinata shook her head. "Your father is not going to be happy." Sonji looked up. "Why would dad be mad did I do something wrong." "No your father and my cousin have history." "Oh like grandpa." "Yes"
Naruto walked home from a successful mission, he saw as Sonji and Kiki came running out. Sonji spotted his father walking. "Hey dad," Naruto walked over to his son and slung his arm around his son. "So how was school?" "Good we got into groups today and it turned out I'm one of the strongest." His father smiled and his eyes lit up. "That's my boy." and ruffled his hair.
Kiki stood back and admired them as father and son, she was jealous of their closeness. Naruto looked up at Kiki. "Hey kiddo, come over here." Kiki smiled and ran over them. "Sonji tells me you both did awesome on you're test, I proud of both of you." He ruffled her hair. Kiki giggled and ran her hand through her hair. Naruto looked back at his son. "Now were did you get that black eye." Kiki ran off and looked back, "Sorry got to go, I'll see you tomorrow Sonji."
Kiki ran all the way home just to make sure she wasn't late. She walked in and greeted her mom who was on the phone; her dad wasn't home yet and probably wouldn't be in for a while if he found a bar. She walked up to her room to get some rest. At around 1 AM she could here her parents arguing as he father stumbled into the house. She tried putting her pillow over her head but that did little good. She opened her window and jumped out.
Sonji woke up to a tapping sound on his window; he groggily woke up and opened it, Kiki jumped in. "Sorry." Sonji yawned and scratched his head. "Hey don't worry about it." He threw her a pillow and a blanket. Kiki woke up early that morning, took a shower and got dressed. Sonji was still asleep on his bed. She poked him on his shoulder; Sonji groggily woke up and walked to the kitchen with Kiki.
He sat in his usual seat and Kiki sat next to him, Naruto sitting across from the table. "Hey Dad, Where is Mom?" Naruto looked up. "You mom isn't feeling good today, so today you have to get your own breakfast." Sonji groaned, Kiki got up and pulled two bowls out as Sonji got the milk and cereal. They ate quickly so they wouldn't be late to practice. Naruto looked up at his son, "Make sure you say goodbye to your mother." Sonji nodded at his father.
Sonji and Kiki walked into Sonji's parent's bedroom. Sonji hardly ever came in here but it seemed different than it usual sunshine, it was more dreary. "Mom, Are you okay." Sonji walked up to the bed were his mother laid. He placed his hand over her sweaty forehead. Hinata opened her eyes to see her son, "Hey sweeties how are you?"
Sonji bend down on his knees so that his mother could place her hand on his cheek. "Fine mom, were getting ready to leave, but mom if you're not feeling good, we will stay." Kiki nodded. Hinata shook her head, "No I will have none of that nonsense, get to training, and I'll be here waiting." Sonji nodded his head. "Come here Kiki." Kiki approached Sonji's mother and kneeled next to her.
Hinata pushed some of the loose hairs out of her face. "You look so much like you mother down to your eyes, except for your hair. Kiki you were like a daughter to me, now you go and take care of Sonji do you hear me?" Kiki nodded. "Sonji you be a good boy for your father and don't be mad at your teacher. Now go before your late" Sonji nodded.
Sonji was not able to focus on his training, his mind kept trailing to his mother. She sounded really sick. Neji came and bonked him upside the head. "Focus or you will be an easy target and it not you who will only suffer but your team as well." Sonji rubbed his head and locked eyes with Chrome. They switched blows continuously and they both began to pick up speed.
"Look for the weak point." Neji yelled at them. Sonji got Chrome's back and held him in a head lock he was also careful to keep his feet a good distance so that he wouldn't be tripped. Neji called match and declared Sonji the winner. Sonji stuck out his hand but Chrome didn't take it. Kiki and Sierra were next but their match was interrupted by a young geinin. He handed a scroll to Neji. Neji opened it and looked at Sonji then Kiki. "You two, to the Hokage now." Sonji and Kiki ran to the Hokage's office and they were let in. "Hokage you wanted to see us."
The hokage rubbed his eyes. "Yes sit down please." The both sat down and listened intensively. "I have some bad news for both of you, mainly you Sonji; I'm sorry Sonji, your mother passed away this morning." Kiki burst into tears; she grabbed his arm and cried into it. "What happen?" The hokage looked up, "I think that's for your father to answer." Sonji stood up with Kiki still clinging to his arm. "Let's go Kiki." They walked over to Sonji's home, Naruto was waiting for them at the kitchen table his eyes were red from crying. He looked up at and strained a smile. "Hey kiddo, sit down." Sonji sat down. "Why didn't you see it?" Naruto looked up. "What?" Sonji jumped up from his seat. "Why did you see that she wasn't just sick she was in pain? Out of all the people I thought you would have noticed?"
Naruto got up. "Hey, I am not a doctor I did know she had a heart condition she didn't tell anyone okay." Sonji fist shook. "No it's not okay, this is all you fault!" Naruto got up and slapped his son across the face. Sonji wiped the blood that was coming out of his mouth and ran to his room. "Kiki I think you should go home." Kiki wiped her face and nodded.
