Atsuko's POV
I woke up early in the morning. The sky was still pinkish. I sat up in the bed and rubbed my eyes. I looked to the side of me to see if Kaede was still sleeping. He wasn't there.
"He left," I mumbled still sleepy.
I yawned and got up from the bed. I went to go check in Jun's room. I squinched my eyes together, when I saw Jun's room light on. I went in his room and saw Kaede curled up into a ball sleeping. I looked at Jun and he put his finger to his lips. He slowly got up from the bed and walked over to the door way where I was standing.
"You were still sleep and he didn't wanted to wake you up," Jun told me.
"He was up at this time?," I asked shocked.
"Yeah," he nodded.
We heard groaning in Jun's room. Jun turned around and looked at Kaede. He was rubbing his eyes with his small fists.
"Nee-chan," he yawned.
I walked into the room and sat down next to him.
"I'm going to go make breakfast," Jun dismissed himself.
I nodded. Jun left leaving Kaede and I.
"I told him," Kaede mumbled.
"About your parents?," I asked knowing he did, though.
"Yeah," he said. "He said we'll search for them or any clues after breakfast."
"I'm going to help, too, okay?"
"Yeah!"
He started to be less sleepy now. He is determined to find his parents.
"Okay. We'll, I need to go get some training in before breakfast."
"Ooh, can I come?!"
"Sure."
"Yay!"
"Stay here for a second."
"Okay!"
I went to my room and got changed. I took off my clothes from yesterday. I decided to put on an orange long sleeve rashguard and my blue jogging pants. I walk back into Jun's room and got Kaede. We walk out the front door and towards the river I was at yesterday.
"What are you suppose to do, Nee-chan?," Kaede asked.
"Walk on top of the water," I told him.
"So cool!," he admired.
"But so hard," I shook my head.
I collected my Raiton chakra to my hands. I did a hand stand and began walking towards the water. When my hands touched the water, I didn't sink in. I kept walking for a while, getting the hang of it. Then, I stopped. The water became shock with water.
So, this is what Jun was talking about.
Fish started rising on their sides. Ah! Oh no, I'm killing them!
I lost concentration and fell in the water.
"Whoa," I screamed falling in.
I came up to surface coughing.
"Heh, heh," I panted.
"Are you okay?," Kaede asked.
"Yeah, but I don't think the fish are," I sighed. "Well, might as well not let them go to waste."
I collected the small fish with the help of Kaede and we headed home.
"Oji-san," I called his name.
"Breakfast is ready," he yelled.
Kaede and I walked into the kitchen. Jun looked at us with his head tilted.
"Where...," he started.
"I killed fish," I cut him off.
"How?," he raised an eyebrow.
"I actually shocked the water with my lightning. So, whatever I touch, it will get struck with lightning," I laughed.
"Well, good job," he said. "That's probably all the training you're going to do for today."
I nodded.
"I know," I said understanding.
"Well, go ahead and eat," he told us.
Kaede and I sat down at the table.
"Itadakamasu," we said in unison.
We started eating slowly. Then, we looked at each other. We devoured our food as quickly as we could.
Eat, eat, eat!
I swallowed my water and slammed it down on the table.
"Gochisosama," I yelled getting up from the table.
"Aw man, I lost," Kaede said sadly.
"Don't worry, it runs in her blood," Jun said shaking his head.
I walked to my room and changed. I put on my long sleeve blue shirt with my last name written in kanji down the left sleeve and orange boy shorts, since it wasn't as cold out as before. I grabbed my googles and katana. I walked out of my room and went to the kitchen.
"Lets go," Jun said.
We walked out of the house and to Kaede's house. As we walked, I began to talk to them.
"Alright guys, don't call me Atsuko, Nee-chan, or Chibi," I told them.
"Then...what do we call you?," Jun asked.
"Detective Chibi!," I pointed my finger at them.
"...What?," Jun said annoyed.
I giggled.
"I like it!," Kaede gave me a thumb ups.
"I like the attitude, Kaede!," I gave him a thumbs up.
"Shut up, both you," Jun said annoyed.
"Hey! You're suppose to be the adult!," I yelled at him.
"And I am...now shut UP!," he slapped me in my head.
"Ow," I rubbed the aching place.
"There it is," Kaede said running up to his house.
I ran, too.
"Hey you two, stop running you two!," Jun yelled at us.
We didn't stop.
"Uh, Kaede do you have a house key?," I asked him.
"Uh, yeah, but I left them on the kitchen table," he replied sheepishly.
"Okay, window it is," I sighed.
I went to the side of the brown house to find a window. When I found one, I jumped up onto a tree and swung on a branch with one hand.
"Whose room is?," I asked looking down at Kaede.
He thought for a moment before answering.
"My room!," he screamed happily.
"Dude, you really need to clean it," I shook my head.
"Like you're one to talk," Jun said.
"What are you talking about?," I asked him.
"I've been to your room before," he said.
"No, you haven't, you liar," I shook my head.
I rocked my body back in forth to build momentum. I kicked my feet out to kick the window. The window broke and I slipped on the glass.
"Whoa, whoa, WHOA!"
I slipped on his floor, under his bed, and my feet slammed into the wall.
"Ah! Ow," I yelled.
I scooted from under the bed. I took off my sandals and looked at my red feet.
"...Sh...!," I yelled. I wanted curse so bad, it'll make a sailor shut his hole.
"Ah ah ah!," I yelled.
Jun jumped in the broken window with Kaede on his back.
"Nee-chan!," Kaede jumped off his back and ran over to me.
"Nice job, Baka," Jun mumbled.
"Ah, shut it," I yelled at Jun.
"Are you okay, Nee-chan?," Kaede asked.
"Yeah. Sorry for breaking your window, Kaede," I said.
"Okay, lets start looking around," Jun said.
I blew my breath at the bottom of my feet. I put back on my sandals and jumped up.
"Alright, I'm ready!," I shouted throwing my arms in the air with bent elbows.
Kaede lead the way to his parents' room. We searched for any clue we could find.
"Ah dang, whoever did this, did a good job of not leaving tracks," I had to admire.
"That's true," Kaede sighed sadly.
We stood there silent, unsure on want to do. Then, a light flicked above my head.
"I got it," I said.
"What is it?!," Kaede asked.
"We're going to have to go back to Konoha, to see if Tou-san can help," I said.
I shut my eyes to get ready for a hit or shout to come my way. Nothing happened.
I peeked open one eye to look at Jun.
"That may...actually work," he said looking at me.
"Whew," I blew out a breathe. "ALRIGHT! I get to see my family and friends again!"
"It hasn't even been that long, Chibi," Jun sighed.
"That's Detective Chibi to you," I pointed my finger at him.
He shook his head at me and I giggled.
"Alright, lets go," Jun said.
"Way ahead of ya," I jumped out of the window and landed on the tree outside Kaede's window.
"Come on guys, grab hold of me," I said "Or just grab my hand because I can't be sure you'll make it without firm contact."
Jun took my arm, while Kaede stayed on Jun's back. I used Hiraishin no Jutsu and we appeared in my room.
"Chibi, I'll go get you a smaller backpack," Jun said leaving the room.
I growled as he left.
I took out all my stuff I wanted to pack and placed them on the bed. Jun came back with a black smaller backpack.
"Where's Kaede?," I asked him.
"In my room," he said.
I nodded before turning my attention to packing. I packed 4 sets of my uniform, 3 sets of pajamas, and my ninja gear. I walked into Jun's room.
"You ready?," I raised my eyebrow.
He nodded.
We walked out of the house and out of the village. We stayed in front of Jun, so he could watch us and he can watch for any ninjas. After an hour of walking, we were ambushed.
There was a huge explosion that seperated Jun from Kaede and I.
"Oji-san," I shouted.
I couldn't see because all of the smoke. I was hit in the back of my neck, knocking me out.
