Kaori's P.O.V

"Come on big brother! Let's go get eat some lunch at Ichiraku's today! Let's go!" Mizuki yelled as she pulled my arm, dragging me through the busy streets of Konoha.

"I think I will a nice bowl of Miso ramen. No, I get a bowl of Tonkotsu. Wait no I want a bowl of Shoyu ramen," Mizuki rambled on a smile gracing her face as she thought about what ramen to get.

"Zuki slow down! Ichiraku not going anywhere it's a shop, not a person or animal that can walk," I laughed at my adorable four-year-old sister.

As I look down at the young girl full of energy gripping my arm. I couldn't help but think about how beautiful she looked with our father's hair and mother's eyes.

Mizuki eyes were a beautiful shade of green, just like an emerald jewel. Her long dark blue hair was tied up in a neat princess bun. Matching her sweet and caring personality. I smiled knowing how much mother and father love my sweet sister Mizuki.

Moving too quickly and not watching where she was going, when we turned a corner. Mizuki crashed into something. Before she could process what she bumped into, she was sent tumbling back.

"Zuki are you okay? You need to be more careful about where you're going! Are you could end up getting hurt!" I told her as I checked her over for any signs of injuries. Sighing in relief that she wasn't hurt and helped her stand up.

"I'm sorry Aniki. I didn't mean to. I was just excited that you were taking me to get lunch like you promised since you were free from missions," Mizuki said looking up at me with watery eyes.

"It's okay Zuki but I'm not the one you need to apologize to," I replied nudging her in the direction of the young boy she hadn't noticed was there.

Third Person POV

Kneeling in front of her was a boy who looked around her age. He had short light brown hair and brown eyes. He wore a dark red shirt consisting of light blue shorts and a pair of brown sandals.

He was staring intently at Mizuki, not saying a word. She blushed for a reason she didn't understand. Her cheeks felt hot and we're turning a shade of red. She had never had someone gaze at her with such intensity before. Not even her father even when he was being strict with training.

"I'm..." She began to stutter. "I didn't mean to run into you! Aniki told me to slow down, but I wasn't listening. Gomen," She hung her head in embarrassment. Not only for falling into him was embarrassing but the fact she was stuttering.

Slowly the boy started to stand up, dusting the dirt off of his clothes. Once most of the dirt was off, he turned to look at Mizuki again tilting his head to the side giving her a close-eye smile.

"Oh it's okay,'" He mumbled his right arm brushing a piece of hair out of his face.

"I'm Mizuki Tokage," She smiled. Her green eyes shined brightly as a wide smile graced her face.

"I'm Hotaru Senju," The brown hair boy said smiling sheepishly at the pair in front of him. His eyes were still fixated on the green eye bluehead in front of him.

"Hello Hotaru, I'm Kaori Tokage. Mizuki brother. I'm sorry that she bumped into you. She got a little too excited about getting ramen for lunch as I promised her," Kaori chuckled st the boy amused by the way he kept stareing at his sister.

'Wait until I tell mother about this. She going to lose it that Mizuki got her first fanboy.' Kaori thought with a smirk on her face.

Just as Hotaru was about to say something a booming voice called out his name. Everyone turned around to at the man walking towards them.

"Hotaru! There you are! I was getting worried. Where did you run off to?" An older gentleman with the same short brown hair as the young boy walked over towards the group.

"Gomen Otousan," Hotaru replied. "Training Exercise. I was practicing sensing for Yuki," he gushed at the older gentleman.

The man chuckled at the young boy always aiming to develop his skills.

"Well Hotaru, were you able to find her with your sensory skills?" He asked confident thev4 year old had succeeded with his training.

"Yeah," Hotaru replied. "I was heading back to you when she ran into me," Hotaru pointed an accusatory finger at Mizuki. Grinning to himself for the playful tease.

"Hey, it was an accident," Mizuki replied. "I said goman!"Her cheeks flushed from the playful tense, as she tried to explain to the older man that she didn't mean to bump into his son on purpose. Her hands waving in the air.

"Hiroshi-sama, this is your son?" Kaori marveled. "It's impressive that such a young child would be training, let alone working on his sensory skills. He looks exactly like you as well. You and Sora must be very proud."

Hotaru beamed upon hearing Kaori's compliment, hoping his father would be proud of his praise.

"Oh Kaori, me and Sora are very proud of him, " Hiroshi smiled while he placed a gentle hand on Hotaru's head ruffling his hair a little. "Your father must be proud of you and your sisters as well."

"Oh of course even if he doesn't always act like it while training with Mizuki," Kaori replied.

"Otousan...not now..." Hotaru whined as he tried to push his father's hand off of him. His cheeks reddened as his eyes flashed towards Mizuki in embarrassment.

Hiroshi looked to where his son's eyes kept glancing at. Upon seeing the young Tokage he let out a laugh. 

'Oh, my son looks like you falling in love at a young age.'  

"Now who might you be young girl?" Hiroshi addressed the young blue head, wanting to learn more about the young girl who seems to caught his son's attention. 

"Hello! I'm Mizuki Tokage one day I'm going to become the strongest Kunoichi," Mizuki said with such passion in her voice.

'And make my father proud of me. I show him that I'm a proud member of the Tokage clan.'

Hotaru couldn't help but smile at her determination. She was so cute with the shine in her green eyes. Suddenly he was taken back from his thoughts. He never referred to anyone cute except for Yuki one of her mother's summonings nekos.

"Well nice to meet you Mizuki-chan! My name is Hiroshi Senju, I am Hotaru's Otousan. I'm sure you have a bright future ahead of you," Hiroshi smiled at the young girl with closed eyes.

Mizuki smiled back brightly at Hiroshi , before turning to face her older brother, who nodded as he agreed with what Hiroshi said.

"Well, Hotaru and I must be going. We are going to meet up with my older sister Tsunade," Hiroshi began directing Hotaru towards the tea shop where his sister was waiting.

"Well see you around Hiroshi-sama," Kaori said. "Let's go Zuki we don't want to make them late to meet up with Lady Tsunade his sister," He said.

Mizuki nodded waving bye to Hotaru and Hiroshi as they continue their way to Ichiraku Ramen.
