My alarm clock went off at 5:00 and I grudgingly got up. I would rather play with Kakashi's dogs all day than have to sit in a book store all day. At least Borris and Fang were going to come. I showered and cme out of the bathroom with a towel around me, I was surprised to see that they had picked out an outfit for me.
"Do you guys pick out Kakashi's clothes?" I asked. Pakkun shook his head,
"No, but we felt like helping you get ready, you looked really tired." He said.
"Thank you Pakkun." I said and he got out so that I could get dressed.
I walked out and made myself breakfast and fed all of his dogs. They were running around barking and having fun.
"How are you guys all so lively in the mornings?" I asked and fang shrugged. I got my morning coffee and was about to leave.
"You guys my father will be staying with me for three days starting tonight, he'll probably arrive while I'm at the store. If he asks I'm dog sitting for a friend." I said. Borris Fang and I went to the book store.
Pakkun POV
-Friend? Her father doesn't know about Kakashi?- I thought.
"Hey guys!" I shouted and they all came to me.
"I want you all to pretend to be normal dogs, no talking, no tricks… Be dumb. I want to find some information about her father, it would be more difficult if he knew we were ninja hounds." I said and they all nodded. I looked all around her house. I sniffed around and found everything to smell like Cherry blossoms. It must be her favorite scent or something. I eventually stumbled upon a photo album and looked through it. There were pictured of her with what looked like to be her mother. Valentine was a splitting image of her mother, like Kakashi was with his father. I looked through the photo album chuckling a bit at some of the photos. I was surprised there was only one with her father. I sighed and put the photo album where I found it. I heard the door open and ran to it. A man who I now knew to be her father walked in. We all ran up to him and barked happily pretending to be normal dogs.
"Tsk, now she has a bunch of usless muts? Stupid." He said and brought his bag in. He walked into a guest room and threw his bag in there. He had a bad aura around him, I didn't like him already. I pretended to be the usual snoopy dog and followed him around the house. He looked at everything condescendingly. A letter dropped out of his pocked and I picked it up and snuck away. I opened it and it read,
Mido,
I am pleased to know that you will have your daughter here within 7 days. You're payment will be 100,000. Thank you for your time.
Kurabayachi
I didn't like the sound of that letter, I will have to tell Valentine… Kakashi will hopefully be back before he tries to take Valentine.
I haven't had a conversation with Mido but I already hate his guts and I want to bit him so hard right now. He spent the rest of the time until Valentine got home in his room.
Valentine POV
Today at the book store was actually quite entertaining with Borris and Fang there. It was funny to watch people stare when they saw them reading. When I got home all Kakashi's dogs tackled me. I laughed,
"Hey guys, what's up?" I asked and my father walked in.
"H-hey dad? What's up?" I asked.
"Nothing, what's with the muts?" he asked and I gave Pakkun a questioning look.
"I'm watching them for a friend…" I said and he walked away looking grumpy… as always.
"Their actually really cool… They can talk and stuff." I said and he turned around.
"Hello." Pakkun said.
"Why did they not speak up before?" he asked and I shrugged.
"Tsk, you do not shrug when I ask a question, it implies that you don't care." He said through gritted teeth.
I looked down, "Sorry." I said.
"I want to speak with you in private." He said and went up to his room.
I was scared out of my mind but followed, when ever he visits we usually just fight the entire time… I hope his dogs won't listen to the conversation…
I closed the door behind me and he turned around looking serious.
"You will go to the Kurabayachi." He said.
"What? That's not fair!" I said.
"Yes it is!! You have done nothing with your life that I can be proud of, so I am selling you. You can pay me back for my wasted time with you." He hissed at me.
"You have no right! I am-" I started but he interrupted.
"You are 16 and still a minor. So If I say you're going your going! You will leave in four days. Or do I have to actually hire Konoha ninja to do it for me?" he threatened.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
"I HATE YOU!" I screamed and ran to my room.
Pakkun POV
I heard their entire conversation… as did everyone else. When her father walked out we were all glaring at him. He walked around us and outside. We all ran to Valentines door.
"Valentine it's me… open up." I said.
"N-No." she said. I could tell she was crying, and she was sitting with her back against the door.
I should tell because the door was shaking witch meant she was shaking from crying.
It was probably the worst night of my life. Her happiness was like a sickness… it was contagious… but so was her sorrow. The next morning I heard her alarm clock go off and so did everyone else. We all stood up because we slept outside her door and saw her walk out. She had bags under her eyes, and she looked depressed. She walked to the shower and walked to get her breakfast. She was usually more lively and happier… She was usually tired but not melancholy. Today her father went into her room and packed her things for her. The next few days went by very slowly, we didn't do a thing… she was depressed and I don't think I heard her say a word to anyone or thing. Although she did continue her nightly visits to the KIA stone.
-Damnit if only Kakashi would summon me I would be able to tell him whats going on! Hes supposed to be returning today! He has to get here before Valentine has to leave.- I thought as valentine trudged down the stairs with her bag.
