My Brother's a Jinchūriki! EXTRAS

2021 Valentine's Special Part Seven

Later, after Kiri and Natsumi had dried off and dressed, a group gathered at Sena's house. Among them, obviously, were Kiri and Natsumi, with Kakashi, Kotetsu, and Naruto. Ino and Sakura had been encountered on the way there, having been gossiping in horror about the strange version of Sasuke Ino had encountered. Sena had sighed and told the girls that they might as well come along.

Everyone stood awkwardly around Sena's kitchen and living room of her small home, with the exception of Sasuke- who had been tied to a kitchen chair firmly by Sena.

He struggled against the bindings and loudly complained, though his pleas were ignored- especially by Natsumi, who cringed each time he stared at her, blushing and smiling and batting his eyes. After a long while of pacing the kitchen anxiously, Sena was stopped when Kiri cleared her throat.

"So, why exactly are we here?" Kiri crossed her arms. "You said you had something to tell us?"

"Um... yes..." Sena bit her thumb and averted her eyes slightly. "About that..."

"It'll be fine." Izumo smiled faintly and put his hand on her shoulder. 

"Thanks..." Sena mumbled, and Kiri raised her brow.

"Alright, first, care to explain what's going on here?" Kiri motioned to Sena and Izumo, who both blushed.

Izumo moved his hand from Sena's shoulder and rubbed his head. "I-Is that really what's important right now?"

"Yes." Kiri furrowed her brows and pointed between them again. "Are you guys doing-"

"K-Kiri!" Natsumi nudged her side, blushing herself. "You can't just ask that!"

"Sure I can." Kiri's mouth twitched in a smirk, then glanced back at Izumo. "Izumo, are you doing the dance with my bestie there?"

"We're not here to talk about that!" Sena blushed, quickly shaking her head. "This is about Sasuke."

"I don't care about your personal lives." Sasuke grumbled and struggled in the chair. "Untie me so I can embrace my lady."

Natsumi cringed and hid behind Kiri, as Naruto clenched his jaw and balled his fist, holding it up.

"You can embrace this, Sasuke!"

"You know about what's wrong with Sasuke?" Kakashi asked, glancing down at the boy.

"I... We..." Sena bit her thumb again and groaned, looking at Izumo from the corner of her eye, and then glanced down at the mess of the table in front of them. "...might be responsible for it."

"You WHAT?!" Ino and Sakura's mouths gaped open, and eyes widened all around the room.

"W-Wait, what?!" Natsumi stammered and looked back at Sasuke, who blew her a kiss. She turned back to Sena. "You did this...?"

"I'm so sorry!" Sena bowed deeply repeatedly, grasping the back of Izumo's neck to force him into a bow with her, so low that their foreheads thudded against the table. "I'm so sorry! It was an accident! We didn't know what would happen!"

"Ow. Ow. Ow." Izumo whimpered as his head this the table, and he grabbed her hand, then rubbed his forehead and straightened. "We didn't mean to make him... crazy."

"Hold on, so you actually are the ones who made him like this?!" Kiri blinked and pointed at the Uchiha. "How?! I thought it was a Genjutsu at first, but it's not at all."

"That's what I figured at first, too." Kakashi nodded in agreement.

All rested on Sena as she straightened and rubbed the small red spot on her forehead.
