[ We do not own naruto or anything naruto related, naruto belongs to tv tokyo and Masashi Kishimoto, the creator of naruto, this is all for fun!! ]
[ The Characters in this story are original, except for the naruto characters that are used aswell, duh! XD]
"So how do you think its going?" rose and Jacob are at the river with poncho. "I think she told him…maybe…"rose looks at poncho "remember when poncho was a baby?" rose turns to Jacob "yeah that's when I met you and lily…he was really small… now he's so big I can ride him like a horse!" rose laughs "yeah… so what happened with hikari?" Jacob pets poncho "I asked her and she was in total shock, like frozen solid." Jacob makes the face that she did "like this" rose lies on the grass "she's lucky to have a guy like you." rose then realizes what came out of her mouth "what did I just say?"
Jacob sits down next to her poncho in his lap "what do you mean a guy like me?" rose smiles "you know… nice, smart, a good listener, a good fighter…" "cute.. wait what?" he looks at rose "really? that's what you think of me?" she thinks fast "you know…like kakashi or the hokage" she looks at the sky "do you think he will ever come back…" Jacob sees the worry in roses blue eyes. "maybe…but we can take him as a team." rose gets up quickly and looks at jacob "didn't you see what he did to okami? Okami was in lucky to be alive, If hiru ever comes back he'll be even stronger!" poncho barks at something in the distance. rose looks at poncho then turns around to see okami and lily holding hands walking towards them. "so she did tell him" rose turns around and looks at jacob "duh! She's not that much of a coward!"
jacob smirks and looks up "who's a coward?" rose looks behind her and sees lily. "hi lily, okami… were the dumplings good?" lily smiles "yeah, they were great!" okami looks at rose "rose, were is the sakura festival gonna be this year?" rose gives okami a sly face. "why do you want to know?" okami blushes, but gains his composure quickly so that they don't notice "cause…we were planning on going… you guys wanna come too?" rose turns to Jacob he surprised at the offer "why not… I think it's at sakura's house this year." lily gasps "the festival at the uchiha's place? Then this year must be special!"
rose stands up "lily? What day is the festival?" lily looks up "um… the 14 of April valentines day! Like every yea-" lily looks at rose "yeah… we only have a week!" lily looks at okami "You guys can stay here me and rose have to looks for kimonos!" jacob stands up "you have a whole week why now?" rose and lily both give jacob the evil eye "Do you know how long it takes to find a kimono? Besides last years are all messed up from Ami's fireball incident, So of course we have to start now or all the good ones will be gone!" okami and jacob just shrug "bye poncho, jacob, okami." lily pets poncho
"bye poncho!" she gets up and looks at okami and gives him a kiss on the cheek "bye!" rose and lily both run to the shopping district leaving okami and jacob by the river. 20 minutes later at a store "Okay lets see…lily look at this one its pretty!" lily looks at the kimono rose finds. it's a light purple kimono with a red collar and belt, faint flowers cover the bottom. "wow its so pretty! Rose why don't you try it on?" rose looks at lily "what about you?" lily smiles "I already found one!" lily shows her the light gray kimono with a black and white belt and blue collar and the bottom is trimmed with the same blue fabric. Around the trim are tiny white flowers. "wow, I think you picked a winner." both lily and rose giggle and go back to looking for other choices in kimono's.
Meanwhile near the hokage's tower, okami stops and looks up "Hey Jacob, Im gonna stop by the hokage's office for a bit, ill catch up with you later" Jacob shrugs "whatever, Im beat" he pats okami's back as he walks away, moments later okami reaches the office's door and knocks "come in!" okami opens the door to see naruto doing paper work by himself for once, he walks up to the desk "Hokage-sama I have a favor to ask" Naruto looks up "what is it?" okami puts his hands on the desk "I would like to ask to be your pupil!" Naruto looks at him with a serious face, he puts the paper work aside
"Why?" "I need to be stronger so that I can take down my brother!" Naruto sighs and rubs his forehead "Just like how sasuke was, he doesn't understand what that'll do to him" naruto clears his throat "no" he goes back to his paper work, okami is shocked and furious at the answer "Why not!?" naruto stops working and sighs again "You just don't understand what it means to gain power, its not all about revenge" okami backs up a bit and thinks about it for a while until he finally asks "well then what?" naruto turns and looks out the window "do you have anyone special?" okami looks at him in confusion, naruto turns around and puts his hands together on the desk "do you?" "what do you mean by special?" okami tries to figure out were he's going with this, was he talking about his parents?
"someone special like a close family member, a close friend, a girlfriend, that sort of thing" "well.." okami thinks for a bit "there is someone special to me, what does that have to do with anything?" naruto stands up and looks at him with a serious face and asks "would you do anything to protect this person" okami clenches his fist, he knows if he's not strong enough, he cant protect anyone, he quickly replies "I would do anything to protect her, id give my own life if I had to, for any of my friends and family!"
Naruto smiles at him "Ok then, ill train you" "wait, what!? Why did you change your mind?" okami stands still more confused than before than how he's was a few moments ago, naruto laughs, goes to sit back down in his chair and looks out the window "The only good reason to gain power is to protect someone, I can tell that you are willing to do that, we will begin training a week from today" okami just grins "I won't let you down hokage-sama!" okami runs out the door leaving naruto with his thoughts
"he's just like I was as a kid, lets find out what he can do" naruto finally remembers he has to get back to his paper work, he groans, and gets back to work as hinata walks in and see's naruto doing his work, she smiles at the earlier conversation he had with okami "That's my naruto"
"Hey rose, what should we do tomorrow?" lily and rose were sitting on the couch in their living room looking through magazines. "I dunno maybe we can go visit sakura." rose turns to lily "why don't you go on a date with okami?" lily pouts at the thought "I wish, I have to work and he has a mission" rose puts down the magazine "hmm… when you get off work come by sakura's house I'll probably be there all day" rose puts the magazine down, stands up and walks upstairs "night." "night"
lily puts down the magazine and goes into the kitchen for a snack. "hmm…apple…banana…mmm orange." rose looks at the moon from her bed "will he ever come back? I wont ever let him hurt any of my friends or anyone close to me" Rose turns around and sees lily in her room with a worried face "lily? What's wrong?" lily sits on the edge of rose's bed "I'm scared… about you know….hiru." lily looks at the window, she cant get the image of what happened out of her head "I don't want okami to get hurt like that…ever." rose scoots to her and holds her hand in comfort
"hey don't think like that...think of the positive. You have a lot of people who love you who would protect you. None of us would ever let him harm you… not even poncho!" lily starts to laugh, it makes her feel a little relieved "ok…can I sleep in your bed? It would make me feel better." rose scoots to make room for her. "sure, bring your pillow." rose held lily's hand all night to make her feel better "I'll talk with sakura tomorrow"
