"WHAT THE FUCK!"
The screams of a thousand souls crushing in terror could be heard coming from the brunette woman, as she glared down at the paper her brother had handed her. A consent form for him to leave the Village and participate in the Chunin exams in Konaha sat in her trembling hands.
"You just have to sign big sis, and I can become a chunin."
"NO, it says you can attempt to become a fucking chunin, not that you WILL become a fucking chunin."
"Same damn difference." The blonde shrugged.
Jessica was torn, sign or don't it did not matter, her brother was a ninja. But she felt that signing this paper would be like her accepting his death, like signing his own death warrant. She needed time to think, to plan, she was never good under pressure.
"Oh God." Was all she could mumble out before she fainted.
Waking up in a hospital room was not Jessica's ideal situation, especially after the bomb Leo had dropped on her. Fucking brat was going to go and die on her, and then who would take care of her wrinkly old ass, the Loch Ness Monster?
"LEO, GET YOUE ASS IN HERE!" the tired brunette screeched once she noticed his absence.
After a minute of waiting a scuffle was heard outside her room and the door burst open, with a panicked looking Leo tumbling in. His teammates and teacher following at a much more sedated pace, but Kiko had concern painted across her face.
"YOU OLD BITCH, DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" Leo screamed as he tackled his sister into a bone crushing hug.
A screaming match ensued between the two that I will not write for the creative language and profanities used would require me to up the rating of this fiction, but let it be said that even though they spoke in English, team three understood that foul language was being used profusely.
"… AND FURTHER MORE…" Jessica continued but was interrupted by a nurse clearing her throat.
"If you are both done," the sweet looking woman began in a small voice, "then please leave as there are other patients who need attention."
The aura the woman emitted caused everyone's' hair to stand on end and Leo to quickly leave the room; Hoshiko dragging her other students out with her at a more sedated pace.
"I just need to check your vitals, and you will be clear to go." The nurse smiled at Jessica.
"Thank you."
After being released and paying for the fees Jessica left the hospital and was promptly tackled by her brother again.
"Are you going to be okay big sister, you aren't dying are you?" the blonde asked in a morose tone.
"No, I am fine, just a little sleep deprived. I fainted from the shock that is all." She smiled down at her wonderful little brother, and then remembered why she fainted and proceeded to pull the blonde into a noogie.
Meigestu coughed at the display, and then asked as politely as she could "Why did you faint Jessica-sensei?"
"Shock," the woman in question replied, "Leo wants to become a Chunin and had the papers for me to sign."
Hoshiko understood what Jessica meant and gave her a once over before asking "Do you wish to come with Leo to watch him on that journey?"
Jessica was shocked by this question, as was evident on her face by her wide eyes and hanging jaw. But she quickly regained composure and squeezed Leo even closer to herself.
"Yes, Thank you." Was mumbled out in a grateful tone by the older woman.
"I will ask the Hanakage if it is possible. You will receive notification tomorrow at eight hundred on the answer." And with that the jounin left in a swirl of white and pink petals.
"Hey big sis, can my teammates hang at the house today?" Leo asked as he looked up to his sister with the biggest puppy eyes ever.
Of course Jessica was no match and agreed right away. She knew Leo's reason for wanting to stay home, she had worried him quite badly, and it was evident in how his blue eyes kept darting to her as if he was waiting for her to fall again.
Getting to the house in relative peace Jessica could not help the sigh that escaped her lips. Opening the door a gust of warm air washed over her as Miso came bounding at her, but stopping before he knocked her over, as if he knew her fragile state.
"Welcome to our humble home." Jessica politely intoned before letting her crassness take over. "Take your fucking shoes off at the door and crash where ever the fuck you please."
And with that Team Three had a relaxing day at the Gomez household, playing cards and eating plenty of snacks. Leo even convinced Kiko and Meigestu to dance with him to the radio, with Jessica clapping and cheering them along.
Jessica knew the next day would be a turning point for her, but she avoided thinking about that, it was unneeded stress. Instead she laughed and played with the children, teasing Leo and cheating at cards so well it would have made her grandfather proud.
