Beyond the Blue Eyes

Chapter 5

17 year old Sonji scratched his head as he woke up that morning. It had been two years since his father had left but he had kept in contact with Sonji. He stretched his new muscular body; he had grown not just in height but strength thanks to his hard training and weekly missions.

He got out of bed and looked at himself in the mirror his face was still clean not a single hair he sighed, he ran a hand through his spiky locks and brushed his ponytail out of the way, it had grown a good couple of inches in the last two years. He finally got dressed and began walking toward Kiki's room to wake her up. Jin stepped out of his room and pushed Sonji out of the way. "Were do you think your going?" "Hey, Jin how are you doing this morning."

Jin looked him in the eye. "You know the rules, no visitation till noon." Sonji rolled his eyes, this happened every morning since he had seen them together that night they were playing around and he walked in. "Come on give me a break."

Kiki could hear them from outside as they started to argue, she looked herself over in the mirror. Sonji wasn't the only one to change over the years; her hair was a couple of inches longer. Her body had a very athletic figure and her breast had a growth spurt and now she had a B-cup going to a C, Sonji reminded her everyday by making fun of her. He had a nack for pissing her off, but that's what made their relationship so unique.

She stepped out of her room to see them ready to kill each other. "Knock it off you two, Sonji lets go." Kiki grabbed Sonji's arm and pulled him away from her brother. Sonji followed Kiki outside. This was their morning routine and it kept both of them in fit condition, Sonji still had a grudge against Chrome after he tried to hit on Kiki and was a cheater trying to find any low blow he could use against Sonji.

Sonji somehow managed to get the better of him. Kiki had not forgiven Sierra since the incident in the backyard and the fact that they both had huge crushes on Sonji, which Sonji was too ignorant to notice. "What do you want to do today?" Sonji stretched his muscles as he was thinking. "I guess we could work on our chakra control and stamina." Kiki stood up. "Yeah that sounds good, the tree game then." Sonji smiled. "That's what I was thinking." They each took a turn in standing on a branch upside down and see who could hold it the longest.

Kiki held hers for 1 minute Sonji went up and held his for 1:30. And they went on from there. "Okay last round who ever can hold it the longest is the winner," Kiki nodded. Kiki went up and held hers for 5 minutes. "Ha, beat that." Sonji smiled he ran up and held it for 5 minutes and 5 seconds. He jumped down and landed on top of Kiki and pinned her to the ground. "I am the winner, bow to me." Kiki laughed and wrapped one of her legs around his waist and knocked his other leg off balance.

She flipped him over. "Now who's on top?" Sonji smiled; with out thinking Kiki ran her hand through his hair. "Ki…" Sonji tried to move from under her but froze. She brought her face down to his and brushed her lips lightly against his. Kiki got up and ran back to the house. Sonji stayed lying down on the grass; his head was spinning trying it figure out what had just happened.

He had just been kissed, finally processed through his head and by his best friend. He sat up and ran his fingers through his lips were she had kissed him. He sat outside until dinner time. He was the last one at the table. They ate in silence, except for Jin who was talking about another mission he had done. Kiki excused herself, Sonji followed her.

She was running up the stair as Sonji caught up to her and stepped in front of her. "Hey Kiki, we need to talk about something." Kiki pushed passed him, "Come on don't be like that, just talk to me." "There's nothing to talk about!" She yelled at him as she ran to her room and locked the door.

Sonji kicked his door open. What was her problem, he didn't do anything, and she was the one that kissed him. Sonji got in his bed and fell asleep. Sonji woke up the next morning and went to go get Kiki but Jin once again got in his way. "Sorry buddy she said no visits today, she's mad at you." Sonji got mad and tried to push past Jin. "So you got your bodyguard to do your work, you chicken, can't even tell me in my face!" Jin held Sonji back finally Sonji gave up and went outside but decided not to and left to run some laps instead.

He finally ran out of steam. He walked back into the house, He spotted Kiki running up the stairs and ran after her at full speed and caught her before she closed the door. Sonji pushed her on the bed and locked the door behind him. "Okay you had better start explaining right now what is up or I swear to god I'm going to lose it." Kiki sat on the bed. "It's not your problem it's mine so bud out."

Sonji got in her face, "Well you problems is affecting me so it's our problem what is it hormones." Kiki pushed him out of the way. "Like you care." Sonji grabbed her from the arm and pushed her against the wall. "I care, there isn't a day I don't care, and when we don't talk it drives me crazy." Sonji held her to the wall and made her look him in the face. "Okay, I'll tell you but you can't laugh, promise." Sonji let go and backed away and sat on the bed. Kiki looked at him. "Sonji I like you." Sonji scratched his head, "Well I like you too but that doesn't explain anything."

Kiki rolled her eyes, "No you idiot, I like you like you." Sonji looked up at her. Kiki brought her face down to his and kissed him. Sonji kissed her back lightly. Jin walked in, "You out now." Sonji and Kiki jumped out of their skin. Sonji ran out of the door slowly followed by Jin. "You don't try anything funny with her do you hear. Sonji nodded and ran back to his room.

On top of his desk was a note from his father on his last note he had asked him about his mother's heart problem he had refused to answer the question since he had found out about it. He opened the letter and his face went white when he read what it said. He crumbled the note in his hand and cried.

He got up and ran to the Hokage. "Why didn't you tell me about this?" as he handed the Hokage the crumpled piece of paper. The Hokage read it over and sighed, "Sonji I know its hard to understand but the Neji that hurt your mother is not the same one that is now your sensei, he has changed what he did was a mistake and he regrets it everyday of his life now more than ever." Sonji got up, "Does he regret taking my mother away from me, and does he regret taking my father's heart and tearing it into pieces and practically destroying our family?" Sonji screamed and walked out of his office full of rage.
