Got my Laptop fixed... But it's still super slow -_-#
Anyway this chapter is going to be mostly about how Dairin and Aruma are together. It is kinda a filler chapter because after this it will start getting more serious. So I hope this chapter makes you smile and it also helps to move the story along. There will be a time skip after this, but it is mostly so I don't have to write some years of just the same thing.

Chapter 4 –
Dairin walked into the house with a slight scowl on her face. 'That cute retard almost burnt my hair off.' She suddenly stops and gasps. 'Did I just call him cute… Oh No!'
She runs into the kitchen trying to find her stash of pocky. She rummages through the cabinet in the corner above the fridge no one uses. But she can't seem to find it anywhere in the kitchen. 'Where is it!'
She hears someone chewing something behind her and slowly turns to see Aruma going to eating her last stick of pocky.
"That's my pocky Aniki!" she cries as she watches him pause from taking the first bite.
"Oh I found it when I was trying to hide my dango from Natsu-Chan." He said while thinking.
He stopped and looked at his imōto's pleading face. He thought over the benefits of giving the girl her favorite candy and quickly came to his decision.
He ate the last stick of pocky right in front of Dairin's face.
"This means war baka!" She stated in a deadly calm voice.
Dairin walks up to her bedroom with Oni trotting along behind her. She then stops looks down both ways of the hallway, and begins to make a tiny unnoticeable puddle that looked like Oni had an accident on the floor.
"Sorry Oni but I need to get the baka back." She whispered to her ninkin with a smile.
He replied when he came up and nuzzled her legs with his head. She smiled and put the end of chakra wire, that her Ane got her, in the puddle and strung it along until it reached the middle of her room. She got up, closed the door, and sat in the middle of her room with the string in her hands just waiting.
Aruma walked upstairs and into the hallway heading for Dairin's room. He was going to semi apologize to her, and then tell her to suck it up and be a ninja. Anatsu would probably slap him upside his head for it if she found out, but it won't hurt their little sister, so she'll be fine.
He stepped in front of her door when he felt something wet squish between his toes.
"Oni this is disgusting, Dairin haven't you been potty-training-"
Out of the blue he felt a jolt of electricity through his body. It stunned him, and then he felt pain in his right side, as he was falling on the ground.
"That's what you get for eating my pocky!" Dairin stated as she was walking down the hall towards their sister's room.
There was a poof heard in the house and then a knock at the door.
"I'll get the door, but this isn't over imōto." Aruma stated as he got up and headed for the front door.
Dairin continued on into her Ane's room with Oni right behind her. She stopped at the door and admired the artwork that was her Ane's door.
It was a beautiful painting, where there is a misty road that divides the picture into two of the same but completely different sides. One side the trees that lined the road were a nice healthy green and had the perfect sky indicating the time of year was summer. The other side the tree's leaves were a brilliant orange, yellow, and red. The leaves almost seemed like they were on fire. And the sky was a pale yellow making it seem as tho the sun was beginning to set.
She thought that the picture explained her big sister's personality well. She was full of life and fun, but had seen an end to a certain part of her life. She could be a hot head, even tho she denies it to the fullest, but she was normally the calm and calculating one in harsh situations.
Her Ane painted their brother's and her doors as well. Their brother's door was simple yet complimented his nature chakras. The door was black but faded into grey in the corners, in the center there were a pair a bright orange-yellow eyes. And blue lightning that formed the body of Hōno, his Panther.
Her door was all of her, just bottled into a painting. Her door looked like a rain forest with a panther lazily sleeping in a high tree. But the sky was a storm the blew the big leaves and had rain pouring down. It matched with her personality perfectly Aruma had said once it was finished.
She finally moved her hand to open the door when Anatsu spoke up.
"I was wondering when you would finally come inside."
Dairin opened the door to see her Ane packing her mission bag. She had her hair pulled up into a messy bun on top of her head, and her bangs over her left eye. She had on her mesh shirt that stopped two inches below her chest, but bindings on just to keep her boobs in place. She had on a pair of black shorts, kunai holster on her right thigh, and her Konoha headband being used as a belt. With black combat boots that had a hide-away blade in the toe, along with the Hyō clan symbol on the sides in red.
"I was just admiring your door Ane-San." Dairin said as she as she climbed on her sister's bed and began to look at the items in the mission bag, while unpacking it unconsciously.
"You always admire my door and then burst in. What if I had someone in here with me…?" Anatsu asked with a frown on her face as she continued to put her cloak into her bag and looked up at her sister.
Dairin gave Anatsu the Really? face that she tends to give their brother when he says stuff that is absolute crap. Anatsu just laughed and went to grab her curved tanto she had hidden under the left side of her bed. When she got back up and looked at her sister she was wearing her cloak, had her spare forehead protector around her head covering her eyes, and her new bindings around Oni's head. he was sitting in her lap while giving Anatsu his innocent look.
Anatsu looked inside her bag and then looked at her sister again. "You unpacked my bag and then dressed yourself up?!"
"Ummm….. since you smell mad and I can't see you….. how about we say no." Dairin said with a big grin.
Anatsu snatched her cloak off her sister and pushed Oni off of her bed. She repacked her bag in a minute and placed her bag inside a scroll so she didn't have to carry it on her back. The burgundy haired woman just rolled her eyes and pushed her sister out of her room.
"Stay out of my room and don't burn anything down please." Anatsu stated with her hand on the door.
"Was the burning comment meant for me or Aruma?"
"You know who I was talking about, I'll be back tonight." And after Anatsu stated that she vanished with a swirl of black rose petals.
"Aruma! Tsu-Chan did it again!" Dairin yelled as she closed her sister's door and walked into the living room seeing a blonde exiting the house. "When is she going to realize that she unlocked Mom's Kekkei Genkai. And why was Minato-San here?"
"He was asking me if I had seen Anatsu he wanted to ask her something." Aruma sighed as he looked at his little sister who had Anatsu's headband around her eyes again.
She began to sniff the air, smelled Aruma in front of her, and stopped. Aruma used his shadows to hold her feet in place and shocked her with a lightning jutsu. While also punching her in her shoulder.
"That's for shocking me earlier." He let her go and forgot that she was indeed his little sister.
"It's not over yet Baka!"
Dairin ran up and began a series of kicks and punches all aimed for various areas of the body. She was so irritated and concentrated on landing a hit that she forgot she was inside the house.
Aruma had a mini panic attack when Dairin almost knocked over Anatsu's vase she bought in the Land of Rain. He let one of her hits connect with his stomach and shadow teleported them to the training grounds. He grabbed her still connected leg and threw her over to the other side of the field.
"So are you ready to finish this war?" Aruma asked.
"Yeah with me as the victor!" and Dairin charged him again but this time she vanished as her fist was connecting with his forearm and he felt her heel connecting with his ribs.
He knew that was going to leave a bruise in the morning. 'Good that means she is getting stronger.'
"Don't you dare hold back Aniki!" Dairin fumed.
As their spar/battle continued on both of their panthers decided to sit this one out on the side lines. Honō was watching the ordeal with a blank expression on his face, while Oni was laying on his side half asleep watching a butterfly floating above his head.
"Dang it Oni! Stop staring at the butterfly, your thoughts are distracting me!" Dairin's yelled and awoke her ninkin.
Aruma took advantage of the situation and swiped her legs from underneath her with a sweep kick. Making her land on her back and getting her even more dirty than she already was.
"You have to learn how to filter out his thoughts from entering your mind. You need to put up a mental barrier that stops useless thoughts from entering, and allows actual conversations to come through freely." Aruma stated as he stood over her with his arms crossed.
"Stop with the lectures and fight me already." Dairin said as she flipped back onto her feet.
Aruma charged her hitting all of her weak defensive points, throwing her off balance and off guard. Dairin tried to put up a good defense, but knew that wasn't one of her strong suits.
She was the brute of the siblings. She fought head on and was a charge type of fighter. She loved hand to hand combat and normally was always on the offensive. So why did she need to work on her defense if she was the one delivering all the blows?
She got angry and locked eyes with her brother, throwing him off and confusing him.
She leapt back and began a small series of hand signs.
"Clone Jutsu!" She yelled and another Dairin pooled into existence next the the original.
She smiled at her small victory at the fact it didn't come out deformed. She was hopping it didn't, so her big brother wouldn't laugh at her failure.
Both Dairin's charged from either side of Aruma. The latter smirked and did a backflip right before that could they could make contact.
From the escape her brother pulled, her clone kicked her in her side as she punched her clone in the face. Therefore dispelling her own clone herself.
"What the heck Aniki?" Dairin fumed at a laughing Aruma.
"Ok, ok. How about we both do one final move and the one who makes contact wins?" Aruma asked after he calmed down from laughing.
"Fine but you owe me some pocky!" Dairin yelled.
"How about you help me find Anatsu's stash of Dango and I'll buy you some pocky?" Aruma asked as he got into his fighting stance.
"How about no, because you're just going to frame me when she sees it gone and I am not getting locked in a genjutsu again for you." Dairin deadpanned.
"Fine, I'll take you to get pocky but you're paying for it by yourself... I know you have that stash of money for when you run out of pocky, and Tsu-chan won't buy it for you." Aruma smirked.
"Ugh fine!" Dairin sighed loudly and charged at him.
They both met in the middle... and because of his height and arm length advantage Aruma won, but Dairin did get him hard enough while being punched he was going to have a nice bruise on his chest.
As they were walking home from the candy store a raven haired boy ran up to the duo.
"Hey Dairin! Hi Hyō-San. What are you guys doing?" Obito asked with a grin.
"You can call me Aruma no need for formalities when you already know my siblings." Aruma chuckled.
"O-oh ok." Obito stuttered out shyly.
"So what's up Bito?" Dairin questioned holding her bag and pushing Oni back with her foot.
"Well I was wanting to know what you guys are doing. Minato-sensei is actually in the village today so we normally take him out to eat, and I was wondering if you guys would like to join us?" Obito asked with a shy smile.
"How about we have it at our place?! Ane-chan is on a mission but she will be back tonight. That way we can surprise her and give Minato-San a nice happy-to-be-home dinner!" Dairin exclaimed with a big smile on her face.
"That would be awesome!" Obito shouted with glee.
"That probably isn't a good idea. You know 'Natsu hates surprises, and will probably end up punching someone." Aruma shook his head.
"No! She will love it and be happy we invited everyone over." Dairin decided with a sparkle in her eye.
"Plus if she does hit anyone, I'll just push Kaka-Baka in the way. He deserves a good punch in the face." Obito slyly grinned with mischief in his eyes.
"It's your funeral." Aruma shrugged and then walked off.
"Ok your job is to find everyone, except Anatsu because she will just poof in the house, and invite them over at eight tonight ok?" Dairin questioned Obito who just nodded in response.
"And I'll get everything set up and ready. Ok go!" Dairin stated and the two went their opposite ways.
After Aruma left the two kids he walked around the village for a bit. He decided that he should buy some things from the market. Because knowing his baby sister she would clean the house of certain things when she cooked.
Heading to another vendor's stall to look at some of his merchandise Aruma seen a flash of red and then met the ground.
"Oh my goodness I am so sorry! I'm a major klutz sometimes ya know!"
Aruma looked up and seen a woman with long red hair that barely touched the ground with her bent over slightly.
She had big deep purple eyes that almost made them look brown. Her hair was a dark red, but not as dark as his twin's, and she wore it down with her bangs held to the side by a clip. She had on a white T-shirt, a forest green vest over it with a swirl symbol on the back, and black spandex capris. She had on the standard shinobi sandals but a black pair.
Aruma thought she was stunning.
"No it's my fault I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." He lied to make her feel better.
"I'm still very sorry, my name is Kushina Uzumaki!" She gave a big grin with her hand extended out to shake.
"Aruma Hyō, heir to the Hyō clan." He shook her hand back.
"You're a Hyō, my clan had a history with your clan. Some of my ancestors got married to yours and had children. That's why you have red hair and massive chakra ya know." Kushina rubbed the back of her head.
"I'm sorry I've never met a Hyō before, and when I get nervous I start rambling." Kushina laughed.
"It's alright my baby sister has a habit of doing that as well. There are only three Hyō's left and you are looking at one now. Our clan was massacred and our parents hid my siblings and I so we could carry on their legacy." Aruma said with a haunted look in his eyes.
"I feel your pain my clan was destroyed during the destruction of our homeland. Some of us fled but there aren't many left of us." Kushina said sadly as she rubbed her left arm with her right hand, looking at the ground.
Seeing the familiar pained look in her eyes stirred something he wasn't familiar with in his chest. He needed to make her feel better. He decided that he wouldn't allow her to be sad around him, but make her feel nothing but happiness.
"Do you want to hang out with me tomorrow?" Aruma asked with a small smile.
"W-why would you want to hang out with me? You do know about me right, the villages monster?" Kushina replied back with a confused look on her frowning face.
"All I see is a funny and cool woman, who has beautiful red hair and amazing purple eyes. Yes I do know you are the host to the Nine Tails... and you know what? I don't care! You are Kushina Uzumaki and I would like to know you better and hopefully become your friend." Aruma answered her with a soft tone and gentle eyes.
"Yes, I would love to hang out with you tomorrow." Kushina said with a light blush on her cheeks.
"Good, now I have to get some more groceries and make sure my sister isn't burning our house down. Would you like to have dinner with us?" Aruma laughed.
Kushina smiled a big smile, never one to turn down free food. "Sure!"
"Well, come on!" Aruma exclaimed and they began the rest of their journey.
Team Seven arrived at the door of the Hyō sibling's household.
Rin had a smile on her face and was holding a container with pie in it. Obito had a huge smile on his face for being on time and getting his job done perfectly. Kakashi had a bored look in his eyes and his arms crossed over his chest.
Minato had a small smile on his face and was donning his casual where, which consisted of a white open zipper hoodie with a thick blue stripe going down the arms and sides of it. He was sporting a pair of cargo pants and his standard shinobi sandals.
Minato lifted his hand to knock on the door when a loud crash was heard. This made him open the door and burst in with a Kunai in hand ready to fight. But before him stood a one of the most hilarious scenes he had seen.
Dairin was standing on a step stool trying to reach the bowl that was on top of the cabinets. Aruma was lying on the ground with a broken plate above his head and Oni on his face. Then there was Kushina, to his complete surprise, who was holding back a laugh behind her hands.
"Sooo..." Obito broke the silence.
"Oh, Hi you guys! Food is almost done." Dairin waved them in.
"Is Aruma-san alright?" Rin asked with obvious concern.
"Yeah he's fine. He was walking by when Oni decided to jump from the counter and onto Aruma's face. This scared him, causing another broken dish and his head meeting the floor." Dairin explained as she pushed the step stool out of the way and began to make a salad in the big bowl.
"Kushina why are you here?" Minato asked the purple-eyed woman.
"Oh, Aruma invited me over. I kinda knocked him over in the marketplace and he invited me to have dinner other you guys ya know." Kushina shyly grinned, while rubbing the back of her head.
"Pift, because you're a clumsy ninja." Obito huffed as he crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes at the Uzumaki.
"What you say punk! Do you repeat that so I can actually hear you?" Kushina growled shaking her fist in the air.
"You're a clumsy ninja!" Obito yelled at her.
The two continued to argue back and forth with the others watching.
"Why are they arguing?" Dairin asked clearly confused.
"They always do that. Either of them will say something to get the other one angry and then they argue." Minato explained, "Obito is Kushina's favorite, so they always bother each other."
"Oh really, well that's nice... I guess." Aruma sighed as he wakes over to the bicker people.
The front door was heard opening and everyone turned to see Anatsu throwing her backpack on the ground next to the door. She rubbed her hand over her face and kicked off her boots, then looked up.
"Why is everyone in my house?" Anatsu questioned.
"Surprise! We're having a happy-to-be-home party, and you are one of the honored guests." Dairin explained while walking over to her Ane and pulling her to the table. "Besides, you're right on time because the food is done."
Everyone say at the table, which surprisingly fit everyone, and ate their dinner.
"This was awesome!"
"Great job Dairin."
"It's ok." "Ouch!"
"This was really good."
"Amazing food, ya know."
"Good job Imotō/Dai-chan."
"Thanks you guys!" Dairin smiled as everyone finished off their food.
They all cleaned up and sat in the living room talking, and telling everyone stories, and sharing about themselves. The time flew by and the group began to head home.
Anatsu smiled at the last visitor before they left and she closed the door.
"Alright I have an announcement to make." She called her siblings.
They all gathered in the living room and sat in a triangle.
"Starting tomorrow, Dairin we are officially beginning your intense training. No weakness, no breaks, no slowing down, and no quitting. We are going to teach you about the clan and more jutsu's. So, are you ready?" Anatsu stated with a straight face with Aruma nodding in response.
"Hell yeah!" Dairin fist pumped the air.
"Then go to sleep, we start at daybreak." Aruma demanded but with a soft smile.
"I'll see you two in the morning." Dairin grinned as she looked at her older siblings.
"Oh and Dairin?" Anatsu sighed to get her attention.
"Yes Aneki?" Dairin asked with her head tilted to the side.
"If you're not up and at the training grounds before us tomorrow, or if I have to wake you up. That will be 50 laps around Konoha and I will have a Mayonaka chase you her fire form. Seeing as your first day of training is with me." Anatsu stated as she walked past her little sister to go to her room.
"She's not serious is she?" Dairin asked with a large eyes filled with panic and worry.
"Test her and see if she's serious." Aruma smirked.
"I need to go to bed now. Natsu-Chan wakes up early even if she's exhausted the night before." Dairin ran to her room with Oni close behind.
Aruma shook his head while laughing. He got up and stretched his now healed muscles, Anatsu healed them after they ate dinner. He headed up to his room and rubbed his face, remembering that he was going to hang out with the Uzumaki tomorrow.
"Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day." Aruma smiled while walking into his room.
Well there is Chapter 4! *\(^.^)/* *Shaking pom-poms*
Anyways hope you guys liked this chapter and a review is always welcome. Favorites and Follows are never turned away as well.
*whispers* I am so into American Horror Stories it's crazy! Like my best friend had me watch it from the beginning on Netflix and after the first episode I was hooked. I mean it's one of those stories that confuses you but you keep watching because the end ties it all together. Ugh I'm on the second season, and if you haven't watched it and need a new show to watch that is the show for you.*
On another note: Thanks to those who reviewed the last chapter and sorry for the wait. It is difficult and annoying to write a story on you r IPod or IPhone…. Its quite irritating actually.
Have a amazing day! *Throws Cyber Cookies to all who read this!*
