Konoha's Lost Kunoichi

Team Hebi and Team Uzumaki

"Wake up!" I shouted, flipping Kaname off his mattress. He let out a squawk before he hit the ground.

He groaned, rubbing his lower back before shooting me a menacing look. "What the hell?! Can't you wake me up nicely for a change?!" He demanded.

I placed a hand on my hip as I stared down at him. "I tried. Get up, it's time for breakfast." I simply told him before walking out and heading to the boys room. I knocked loudly on the door.

"Up and at em. Breakfast." I called loudly. I waited a second and only left once I heard shuffling. Good.

Today was a break from early morning training. Something the three of them had been looking forward to.

The boys need to relax their muscles, and Kaname, as strong and powerful as he is, has been lying dormant for a while. He needed a break or his body wouldn't last.

A part of me is a little relieved as well because I wouldn't have to meditate.

Like Kaname said, the more I used and practiced Blood Release the deeper I'm forced into its clutches. And we haven't been doing that much Jutsu's.

A break could do us all some good. I let them sleep in a bit, but I wouldn't let them waste the morning away.

Don't get me wrong, if I could sleep in until afternoon I would. I loved to sleep. But I never really could because of school, training, and missions.

Besides, I didn't want Naruto's habit to get too bad. And we needed to make sure to eat breakfast.

I love my brother, but he's not really much for cooking.

He'd eat ramen every second of the day and he has. Until I learned cooking then it was only because we craved the stuff. So I always woke early and made him as well.

But if I had a choice, I'd sleep well into the afternoon. Even sunset. That's irresp

onsible though. So here we are. I sat in my seat, and poured some juice into mine and Haru's glass before pouring milk into Kaname and Hawaki's.

Soon enough the boys strolled in, their hair a mess. Kaname sat across from me, glancing at the boys before frowning and turning to me. "How come I'm the only one who gets your special wake up call?"

Haru's eye twitches and he sweats a bit. "She used to do it to me all the time at Orochimaru's base. I've learned to get up or I'll be in pain." He admitted.

Hawaki nodded in agreement, taking a sip of his drink. "Woke up late once and found my head acquainted with a wooden spoon. Never overslept again." Kaname's own eye twitched as the boys reminisced and I shrugged.

"Wake up when I tell you." I clapped my hands together and they did the same. "Thank you for the food." We all chorused before digging in.

This is a morning we've all grown accustomed to. And as much as I love it, it made me long for my brother.

I hope he's doing well. Is he awake yet? Has he had breakfast? Probably not.

The memory of me pounding on his door is so clear. Then he exited, wearing that ridiculous sleeping cap and a goofy smile on his face as he apologized. Every single day I miss my twin. But right now, with how peaceful this is, I miss him even more.

It's unbearable.

Naruto . . .

Should I check in on him? It wouldn't be the first time I disguised myself and spied on him.

Although it had always been risky with Pervy Sage around. It's weird. I had always been with Naruto. It had been me and him against the world. Yet I haven't spoken to him in three years. Three years.
