Chapter 12
"He's just like you, you say?" I ask, laying in bed. "Yep, he has no talent for ninjutsu nor genjutsu, and he dreams to be a taijutsu master, just like me." Guy says. "Ugh, it's like more and more replica's are appearing." I say, rolling over. Guy cuddles up to my back. "That's a good thing, yeah?" He says. "... Well, I suppose." I mumble. Guy starts rubbing his lips against the back of my neck. "S-stop it." I giggle. Then he starts coming around to my cheek. I giggle again. He pulls my arm down so I'm laying on my back, and he shifts so he is on top of me.
"Guy, not tonight, I'm too tired." I sigh. He smiles and nuzzles my neck. "G-Guy.. P-please." I giggle. "Cheer up Matsu." Guy says. I smile at him. "I am happy." I say. "Then how come you seem angry?" He says, nuzzling my neck again. I push away from my neck and give him a reassuring smile. "Just a little tired." I say. Guy lays back down beside me. "Well if you're tired I will let you sleep." Guy says. I roll over and hug him. "Thanks Guy." And with that, I fall asleep.
The next morning I wake up to Guy shuffling around.. Very early. "G-Guy what're you doing?" I groggily ask, still half asleep. "I must meet my squad." Guy replies. I open an eye and see the sun isn't up yet. "... What time is it?" i ask. "Hm, before 6." Guy says. "... How early do you want to meet up with them?" I ask, getting off him. "I said we must meet at 6 exactly." Guy replies. "After all, they are in the springtime of their youth, they must enjoy every minute of their lives while they're young." Guy says. "Alright.." I say, in no mood to argue.
So Guy leaves to meet his squad. "6.. Heh, seriously.. 6.. Ah.. Time to get up." I moan, sitting up. It must be 6:30 by now. "I should start getting used to getting up early." I sigh.
I get dressed and prepare for the day.
At about 7, Mei wakes up and asks for breakfast.
"Can I train with everyone today?" Mei asks. "Yeah, sure." I say.
Once again I return home to find Guy and Lee doing sit ups. "Is this going to become a regular thing?" I ask, closing the door behind me. Lee jumps to his feet and bows before me.. Again. "Good evening Matsu-chan." He says. "I am sorry if this is annoying.. Guy-sensei said I could.." Lee says. "Sure.. You're welcome to come over. Just as long as you don't stay too late, after all, you wouldn't want your parents worrying." I say. Lee looks down. "Huh? What is it?" I ask. "I don't have any parents.." Lee says. I gasp and crouch down to him. "I'm sorry.. Do you live with anyone at all?" I ask. "No need to worry Matsu-chan, but yes, I do live alone." Lee says, smiling. I felt sorry for him. "Lee, would you like to stay here?" I ask. Lee tilts his head. "For the night?" He asks. "Well, if you like, you could live with us." I say. Guy smiles at this. "Y-you mean it?" Lee asks, a little shocked. I nod. "I would like that very much! Thank you Matsu-chan!" He says, bowing repeatedly.
"Lee, how would you like to become part of the family?" Guy asks. "I-I would like that very much Guy-sensei!" Lee cries with happiness. I smile. "Does that mean Rock is my brother?" Mei asks. I nod. Lee faces her. "If I am your big brother, than I shall do my duty of protecting you!" Lee says, saluting. Mei smiles and salutes him back. Lee was a little confused but smiled. "Lee, I'll set up a bed for you in Mei's room, if that's okay." I say. Lee bows his head again. "Yes, thank you Matsu-chan." He says. I nod and do so.
"Alright what do we all want for dinner?" I ask as they all sit at the table. They all raise their hand as they speak. "Spicy curry rice, please!" They say, almost in perfect sync. I sweatdrop. "Uh.. Right." I turn around and start cooking. 'Does Lee like spicy foods too?'
"Here we are." I say, serving the table. I sit down with my own dinner, spaghetti. I can't stand eating spicy things.
"Thank you for the meal." Lee says. "That's quite alright." I reply.
~~A year later~~
"Come on Guy! It's nearly 6! Get up!" I say, rocking the bed. Guy snaps awake. "Right! I must get going!" Guy says, getting up. Lee now looks like a mini Guy, wearing the same clothing, except for the flak jacket, and have the exact same hair style. I'd get confused some days. Even Mei has her hair short.
"Morning guys." I say, meeting my squad. "What're we doing today?" Okimaru asks. "Well, more training I suppose." I say. "When do we get another mission?" Okimaru asks. "Whenever the Hokage has a mission." I say. "Just give it up already." Ritsuko grumbles, standing up. "I've really gotten sick of your complaining lately." She says. "Ugh.. Blah blah blah." Okimaru groans. "Cut it out." Kuemon sighs. "I've just about finished this book."
"... Hey, Okimaru, think fast!" I say, going for a punch. He jumps back just in time. "Hey! What th-" "No time for talking Oki, just fight." I say, continuing my attacks. He dodges most of them, then starts fighting back. "But Matsu-sensei, whats with this?" Okimaru asks. "It's called training." I reply.
{Kakashi's POV:}
I meet up with my squad, and they seem quite distracted. "Good morning." I say, jumping down to them. They don't respond, they just keep staring in the one direction. I tilt my head and look up to where they were looking. I saw three kids fighting someone. They seemed to be enjoying themselves.
"Kakashi-sensei, why can't we do fun things like that?" Naruto complains. "Well, you haven't asked me." I simply reply. "Who is that girl anyway?" Sakura asks. I try to get a closer look. "I think that's Kenkyuka Ritsuko." I reply. "No, the sensei." Sakura says. "Hm?" I take a closer look. I lean back after realising who it was. "Come on, lets go." I say, turning around. "Who is it?" Sakura asks. "... Oshiro Matsu.." I say. "Now lets go."
"But I want to meet her." Sakura complains. Naruto grumbles to himself. "When I get my hands on her I'll rip her to shreds, believe it!" Naruto exclaims. "Huh? Why's that?" Sakura asks. "Because.. Because.. Gah! I'm going to get her, believe it!" He says, jumping off. "N-Naruto!" I call.
"Hey you!" Naruto shouts, interrupting their fight. I sigh, I knew I have to go and fetch Naruto. "You two wait here." I say.
{My POV:}
I stand up and brush the dirt off me. "What is it-Naruto?" I gasp. He looked pissed. He pointed at me. "You never came back, you lied to me, believe it!" He snaps. I look down. I had actually forgotten all about Naruto. "You have something to say!" He snaps. "Hey! Don't yell at our sensei!" Okimaru snaps. "You stay out of this!" Naruto shouts. "Why should I?" Okimaru growls. "Because if you don't I'll-" "Naruto, cut it out." I hear another voice. I look up and see Kakashi. I wasn't too happy to see him again. "Ugh, I'm sorry for any trouble he caused.. We'll be leaving now." Kakashi says, grabbing Naruto's shoulder. "NO! I'm not going anywhere!" Naruto argues. "Naruto! Do as Kakashi-sensei says!" Snaps a pink-haired girl approaching us. "Sakura, I told you to wait for me." Kakashi sighs. "Hmph, we heard yelling and came to see." Says a black-haired boy. I rub my eyes. "I-Itachi?" I ask. He screws his face up at me. "I'm not Itachi! Don't speak of that name around me!" He snaps. "But you look just like him." I say. "I'm Sasuke." He huffs. "Ah, that's why. Sorry." I say.
"So how come you didn't come back eh?" Naruto shouts, pointing at me again. "Naruto I'm sorry, but I couldn't." I say. "It's been nearly 6 years!" Naruto exclaims. I look down. "Surely you could've came at least once!" "I'm sorry Naruto!" I shout. "What's going on?" Sakura asks. "Don't worry about it Sakura, it doesn't concern you." Kakashi says. "And how come you never told me about the Kyuubi?" Naruto asks, in a more of a moping voice now. "Because it wasn't for me to say." I reply. "The Hokage was going to tell you when the time came." I say. Naruto 'hmphs' and faces away.
"Come on Naruto." Kakashi says. Naruto storms off past him. Kakashi sighs and faces me before walking off. "I'm sorry about them." he says.
I look away from him as he leaves.
"What was all that about?" Ritsuko asks. "Nothing, don't worry." I say. "Now lets continue our fight, shall we?" I mention. They all smile and we continue fighting.
