Zuki was standing a few meters away from the edge of the river with a tall blonde man with green eye's and a scar near his mouth.
"Zuki this guy hurt you and you defending him?" A boy called out.
"Yes he is my Mori and only MINE!" she stated walking up to the two girl currently hugging Kumori and tried to pull them off of him.
"Nooooo! I want him" one of the girls screamed kicking her legs.
"Ok now umm...I think maybe you could let the kid go?" the man asked walking over to them. Zuki was now pulling one of the girls hair as the man picked both the girls up.
"Yes" Zuki squealed latching herself onto Kumori.
"Ouch that hurt's" Kumori mumbled.
"Arrr I'm soooooooo sorry Mori!" Zuki yelled jumping back.
"Ok maybe you kids should get moving, I'll be telling your parents about this" the man told the others and they all ran off without another word. The man went over to Kumori to inspect his wounds.
"Koo-mori, this is Stupid dumb dumb teacher, dumb dumb this is my Mori" Zuki introduced both of them.
"Who said I belong to you?" Kumori mumbled but nobody herd him.
"Hi kid, my real name is Akio I'm Zuki's sensei" Akio glared back at Zuki giving her a look about his real title.
"Stop looking at me and help Mori!" she yelled back. Akio went back to nursing Kumori's wounds.
"There is only a few scratchers and bruises other than that you'll be fine" Akio said helping him up. There were so many thing running through Kumori's mind as of why is Zuki helping him after he snapped at her and why did he snap at her? And what the hell was up with those girls.
"Mori your bandages fell off" Zuki said running to the edge of the stream to picking up the discarded material and handing it back to Kumori.
"Why do you need bandages?" Akio asked looking down at the both of them.
"There for my eyes" Kumori replied tying the wet bandages around his head.
"Your blind?" Akio gave the rhetorical question looking closely at Kumori.
"Oh no Mori we were suppose to wait for Chika!" Zuki wailed.
"You're the one who went running off" Kumori mumbled.
"Let's go let's go we need to find her!" She said jumping up and down waving her hand around in the air.
"Who's Chika?" Akio asked look at Kumori
"I travel around with her" Kumori said walking over to where Zuki was shouting from.
"She's waiting for us!" Zuki yelled grabbing Kumori's arm and running of again.
"Wait!" Akio yelled running after them. Meanwhile back in the middle of town Chika was walking around looking for the missing two.
"Where did those two go?" Chika muttered to herself her arms getting tired from the package she was holding.
"CHIKA!" Zuki called running towards her Kumori in tow.
"Where did youse to go too? On a little date perhaps?" Chika giggled.
"Wait what? No" Kumori stuttered stepping away from Zuki. Chika dropped the package she was holding and picked Kumori up holding him in front of her face.
"Your soaking wet and covered in dirt, did you guy jump off of a bridge or something?" Chika said putting Kumori back on the ground.
"Something like that" Zuki cut in spinning around giggling.
"Zuki you need to stop running off" A voice came out from the crowed.
"Akio sensei!" She yelled clapping her hands.
"Akio sensei?" Chika asked as the blonde man stepped forwards.
"So you finally call me by the right name" he said crossing his arms.
"Chika this is Akio sensei, sensei this is Chika" Zuki informed both of them.
"Hi nice to meet you" Chika reached out her hand.
"Same" Akio replied shaking her hand.
"So sensei is it would that mean your training to be a ninja Zuki?" Chika asked looking down at Zuki.
"Yep! I'm only a really an academy student but get extra lessons from dumb dumb here" Zuki explained pointing at Akio.
"A ninja?" Kumori questioned.
"Yeah when I get older I want to protect my village" Zuki said standing up straight and putting her fist to her heart.
"What village are you from?" Kumori asked tilting his head to the side.
"Yugakure, the Village Hidden in Hot Water" Akio stepped in.
"Well you're a far way from home, why are you all the way out here?" Chika announced.
"Where are we anyway?" Kumori asked bluntly.
"You don't know where you are?" Akio said seeming surprised.
"Oh yeah I never told you did I Moir, right now where in the Land of Rivers between here and Yugakure is the Fire nation" Chika told Kumori while patting him on the shoulder.
"Well I'm out here for family business and Akio is just accompanying me" Zuki pointed out.
"Oh okay, umm Akio if you're a ninja where's your headband?" Chika asked. Akio patted his forehead and his eyes opened wide.
"Arr I had it on just a few minutes ago where is it gone!" He panicked patting all his pockets.
"Is this it?" Kumori replied pulling out a metal band from his back pocket.
"Where did you get that from?" Akio asked taking the headband back and tying it around his head.
"I don't know?" Kumori said looking up to his left.
"Well thank you and we better be going, Zuki we need to go meet up with your parents" Akio said bowing and grabbing Zuki's hand so she wouldn't run away.
"Awwww but I want to spend more time with Mori" Zuki whined.
"Well it was nice meeting you" Akio said with a wave.
"I hope we will see you again" Chika replied back.
"Bye Chika, bye Mori!" Zuki yelled.
"Bye" was the only thing Kumori said with the farewells. As Akio and Zuki went out of sight Chika picked up the package by her feet.
"Kumori this is for you" she said handing him the package. Kumori opened the package pulling out this long piece of wood with a box end and three strings banned across it.
"What is it?"
"It's called a shamisen, you use it with a bachi to pluck the strings" Chika grabbed the shamisen and demonstrated what it sounded like. Kumori studied the sound then Chika grabbed Kumori's hand and placed the shamisen in them and the bachi and directed his hand movements.
"You can use it to play that song of yours on it" Chika exclaimed.
"I can get used to it" Kumori mumbled.
