Naruto: Neglected dragon heir.

Chapter Seven: Feelings

The scent of cherry blossoms wafted through the air, and Arashi, along with Kiri faced a very calm Minato.

"Congratulations are to you both, I the fourth Hokage of Leaf Village, grant you the rank of special Jonin." Minto gave a fake smile to them, and Arashi saw right through the smile.

"Excuse me, Lord Hokage, I'd like to work with Lady Tsunade. I wish to improve on my Medical jutsu under her supervision." A slight flash of surprise went through Minato's eyes.

"Mmm... Very well Kiri-san, you may." Minato turned towards Arashi, "Ryū-san, I'll be placing you with team seven with Kakashi." Clenching his fists, Arashi held back his anger.

"Very well Lord Hokage." His voice was strained, giving a slight bow. "Please come stop by my office tomorrow for your Leaf flack jacket and headbands, until tomorrow." He flashed away along with Jiraiya and Kishina.

"Are you alright Arashi?" Tsunade placed a hand on her grandson's shoulder. Arashi took a big intake of air, then released it again.

"Yes, granny." He turned to face them, he was pulled into her chest. "Oh, you've grown so much!" She jumped with Arashi still in her chest, Asuma's nose leaked blood.

After getting out of Tsunade's grip, 'and after Asuma cleaned his nose.'
Ruffling Arashi's hair, "Congrats kid, I'm proud of you and I'm sure he will be too. Have you visited his grave yet, since you've been back?"

Shaking his head, his tone somber. "Not yet Uncle Asu, I've been busy, with being clan head and now the test." Arashi looked up. "But I promise to make time soon, he will be glad I'm back in the village." Arashi smiled lightly.

Tsunade faced Kiri, "You!" Stomping over to him.

"Y-yes Lady Tsunade." He squeaked.

"Next time don't ask Minato for permission, I run that damn hospital, not that fool." Kiri furiously nodded his head.

"Good! I have to go, see you around and Kiri be at the hospital at five a.m sharp for training, understood!" Kiri stood straighter.

"Hai! Sensei!" She nodded, leaving the men to talk.

"You should come by nephew, I'm sure my sister-in-law will be glad to see you... alive." His death was still a touchy subject.

"Where is Kakashi?" Kiri noticed that he was gone. Arashi began searching around, Asuma shrugged his shoulders, "Maybe he left with Lady Tsunade?"

Sliding down his closed door, pushing his fingers into his hair, and gripping it tightly.

"What's wrong with me?!" Frustration bubbled inside of him,
A long sigh escaped his lips. He wanted to bang his head, to clear these strange thoughts and feelings.

He jumped a little when his doorbell rang. "Kakashi I know you there, please... open up." Arashi placed his head against the door.

Laying his head against the door, a slight blush spreading on his face, 'What's wrong with me, to feel this way towards him?'

Closing his eyes he focused on his pulse, it was racing fast. There came a knock this time.

"Kakashi... please open... I." He could hear Arashi sigh. "I want to be a gentleman... I do not want to use my jutsu to come in the other way so... please Kakashi."

Kakashi widened his visible eye, 'He is pleading, and wants to be a gentleman?'

His thoughts and feelings were a mess, ever since Arashi showed up back in the village.

Slowly opening his door after a minute of hesitancy, he could see the relieved face of Arashi.

"May I come in, please?" Pulling the door wider, Kakashi nodded.
