Chapter 9:Naruto and Mizuki finally meet!

...

In the evening, Mizuki had already moved her stuff into her new apartment. She went out for a walk, hoping to meet Kakashi along the way.

Naruto knocked on Kakashi's front door. Kakashi put "Icha Icha Tactics" away and opened the door.

"8 already?" Kakashi asked.

"Not all people like to be late, y'know," Naruto said. Kakashi laughed. He took his keys and locked the door. They went on their way through the village. Kakashi was just hoping that Mizuki would be around somewhere.

"So, sensei," Naruto asked, "what did you want to tell me about my parents?"

"Listen carefully, Naruto," Kakashi said. "What I'm about to tell you isn't easy to understand. But I'll try and tell you anyway."

"Umm… ok," Naruto mumbled.

But before Kakashi had the chance of telling Naruto anything, he saw Mizuki walking their way.

"Hm, let's see," she said to herself. "It was somewhere around here…" Then she saw Kakashi and Naruto.

"Kakashi?" she asked. "Didn't know you already had plans for tonight. I was on my way to your house."

"Ah, I see," Kakashi said. "Well, you came just in time." Actually, she came a little early, but that was not really a problem.

"On time? Hey, you're that nee-chan from yesterday!" Naruto said.

Kakashi felt a little strange after hearing Naruto calling Mizuki "nee-chan" while not knowing she actually was his sister.

"Oh… right…" Mizuki said with a frown and a blush.

Naruto was scratching the back of his head and forced a smile while he said: "Heh heh, sorry about yesterday. Guess I scared ya a little."

Mizuki forced a smile too and said: "A little. Right."

Kakashi looked at both of them standing like that. They really were siblings.

"But seriously," Naruto said, "You look exactly like my Harem Jutsu. Guess I'll have to change it again…"

"Naruto," Kakashi said, "don't say things like that…"

"Harem Jutsu?" Mizuki asked, trying to keep her temper.

"Err, Naruto didn't mean it like that," Kakashi said while making soothing gestures.

"Yes… right…" Mizuki said. She was still trying to keep her temper. "Well… Naruto, was it? Nice… to meet you," she forced herself to say.

"Nice to meet you too, uhh…" Naruto said. He couldn't remember her name. "Sorry, what's your name again?"

"It's… Michiko," Mizuki said. Kakashi was giving her a disapproving look.

"So," he said. "Did you go to the Hokage?"

Mizuki nodded.

"Eh? What did you need from Tsunade-obaachan?" Naruto asked.

"I've already got a new apartment," Mizuki said to Kakashi, ignoring Naruto.

"Ah, that's great," Kakashi said.

Mizuki suddenly looked a little sad. "But it was a little strange, though," she said. "Stepping into that office." She turned around and looked at the mountain in which the heads of all the Hokages were sculptured. "Just like it's strange to see a fifth head on that mountain."

Kakashi understood what she meant, unlike Naruto.

"Huh? You've been here before, nee-chan?" Naruto asked.

"If you don't mind, my name is Michiko," Mizuki said while clamming her teeth. "And yes, I used to live here."

She was staring at her father's face on the mountain. She looked like she was about to cry again. Kakashi laid his hand on her shoulder. "You ok?" he asked.

"Yeah," Mizuki said. "I'm fine."

Naruto joined them. He looked at Yondaime's face. "One day, I'm gonna surpass him," he said. Mizuki looked at him in surprise.

"I'm gonna surpass the Fourth… and become Hokage myself," he said with a big grin.

Mizuki stared at him for a while. Was this kid for real, she thought. She looked at her feet. This kid didn't know what he was talking about.

"You? Become Hokage?" she asked. "And how are you gonna do that? With that Harem Jutsu of yours?" She was losing her temper.

"Ha?" Naruto asked.

Now Mizuki gave him an angry look. "You think becoming Hokage is something anyone can do?!" she yelled. People were looking at them.

"Uhh, guys…" Kakashi said. "Please calm down…"

"I'm not just anyone!" Naruto yelled back. "I'm gonna become the next Hokage!"

"You really think an idiot like you can become Hokage?!" Mizuki yelled. "In order to become Hokage, you need to be extremely skilled, strong and intelligent! An idiot like you can't possibly be able to protect the village!"

"What do you know?! You don't even know me at all!"

Kakashi went to stand between them. "Come on," he said, "knock it off. People are watching."

Naruto didn't care, but Mizuki looked around. She calmed down.

"Fine," she said. "I'm outta here." She turned around and angrily walked away.

"Just remember this, nee-chan!" Naruto yelled at her. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and I will become Hokage! Don't you forget it!"

Mizuki stopped. Did he say… Uzumaki? No, that couldn't be. Stubborn as she was, she walked away.

"Mizuki!" Kakashi said, but she didn't listen to him.

"Mizuki?" Naruto asked. "Thought her name was Michiko."

That was not so smooth, indeed. But he could as well admit it now. "No, it's Mizuki," he said.

Everything got out of hand. Now what was he going to do?

"But anyway, Kakashi-sensei," Naruto said, "are you going to tell me what you wanted to say about my parents?"

Kakashi sighed. "I'm sorry," he said. "I owe you that one. I have to go and look for Mizuki. I'll tell you tomorrow."

And with that, he took off.

"Huh? HEY!" Naruto yelled.

It didn't take long before Kakashi found her. She was standing against a wall around the corner.

Kakashi stood in front of her. "Hey," he said calmly. "Come on. We need to talk."

"Did he really say… Uzumaki… Naruto?" Mizuki asked.

Kakashi looked into her eyes, and nodded. Mizuki sighed deeply and walked away without looking at him. Kakashi didn't move for a while, but then he went after her.

"Mizuki, I'm sorry," he said. "I meant to tell the two of you tonight…"

Mizuki stopped and looked at him. "Why?" she asked angrily. "Why didn't you just tell me when I asked you…?"

Kakashi sighed. "I wanted you two to meet first," he said. "He didn't leave a very good first impression yesterday and I wanted to fix that."

"Kakashi, I have a brother!" Mizuki yelled. It was like now it came through to her. "I have a brother…" she said. Suddenly, tears poured out. But she wasn't crying. She was smiling.

"I have a brother," she repeated again. It felt so great to say that. She couldn't remember being so happy before.

Kakashi just looked at her. He was glad to see her so happy, even though he messed things up back there.

She was going to go back to Naruto, but Kakashi grabbed her wrist. Mizuki looked at him. Her smile faded.

"What is it?" she asked. "Let go, I want to tell him."

"Maybe it's best if I talk to him first," Kakashi said. "Well, at least a part of it. You'd better not face him after fighting with him. That's just how Naruto is."

Mizuki thought about it. Naruto was right: she didn't know anything about him. She was just mad at him for yesterday.

"But I need to talk to you, first," Kakashi said. "Come with me." He let go of her wrist and walked the other way. Mizuki followed him.

...
