"Ow!" Kimi complained as her fist came in contact with the shadow barrier. "No fair, Rina!"
"Sorry I can't help it. Sin keeps doing it." Sarrina shrugged as the shadows slid away reveling that the young ninja's hair had grown longer and she was starting to develop...into a woman so to speak.
Kei snickered as he fumbled with the making of the dragon necklaces. "Keep up the good work, Sarrina."
"Hey! Quit being a jerk!" Kimi pouted, crossing her arms.
"Oh, Kimi-chan! He's only being supportive of your younger sister!" Mejiro popped up, "Greetings!" he said happily, "How are you all fine youngsters?" he chuckled and let the black fur ball on his shoulders jump down to the ground, "Sarrina, Keri sent you a message." Indeed, there was larger message than normal on Kuro's collar.
'Oneesan,
There are two boys coming over this evening! The new Kazekage will be coming. The Kage told me all about it. I'll be at the market buying food for dinner in case his assistant or he himself comes over.
I know the Kage will give them tickets to show to our parents, since we're the most...liked, by him. Be sure to prepare, too!
Love,
Kerica'
Sarrina pulled out a pen and wrote in the space below Kerica's message.
'Oneesan,
You mean that one of them will stay here? That is amazing! I'll prepare right away! I have a friend in Suna, so maybe the Kazekage knows him.
I hope everything goes okay.
Love,
Sarrina
Sarrina tucked the message back into Kuro's collar as Kimi sighed, "Okay, so maybe he was, but that smug tone said everything."
"You're just paranoid, sis. Lighten up! So, Mejiro-san why are you here?" Kei asked, tucking away the necklaces.
Mejiro smiled ruefully, "unfortunately, not on good news…for you two at most," he said looking at Kimi and Kei, "Kimi, Kei, you've heard of Orochimaru, correct?"
Kimi frowned deeply before turning to her sister, "Sarrina, can you go get some ramen from the market for diner? I heard mother and father talking about having a guest over."
"I guess, but I hate it when you just kick me out because it's 'adult talk'. you and Kei aren't even adults!" Sarrina huffed as she left.
"Hai, we know of him." Kei answered.
Mejiro sighed, "During the Chunin Exams, he bit Sasuke, giving him the Cursed Mark. Sasuke suffered from it for a while…The Kage refused to tell me the details of when and how…" he paused biting his lip, "Sasuke left Konoha. Many fought to get him back, and were injured. Sasuke is now a Rogue Ninja, but those looking for him cannot figure out his whereabouts."
Mejiro rubbed his neck, "The Council is furious. The Hokage that granted you that last goodbye was killed by Orochimaru and the Sanin Tsunade is now Hokage. Naruto Uzumaki is one trying to find him, but is currently on training with the Sanin Jiraiya. I found out about this because they might drop by within the year, but it's uncertain." He saw Kimi's amethyst eyes were shaded, "Kimi…I'm know this is hard on you. I thought you had the right to know."
Kimi clenched her fist until her knuckles turned white. "...That jerk..."
Kei blinked in surprise at his sister's words. "Kim-"
"How could he run away? What if he gets kill? Doesn't he ever think of how that could effect me? I...I can't lose him...but I can't hate him...no matter how much I want to for letting them take me away from him...I can't...I don't want him hurt..." Kimi said, tears falling onto the ground.
Kei stood up and went to his sister's side, pulling her into a hug. "It's going to turn out fine, Kimi-chan."
Mejiro sighed, "I'll…leave you two be," he said gently and silently left the residence.
Kei took Kimi inside to calm down as he waited for Sarrina to return home.
