Aiko (Naruto/Boruto Fanfic)

Chapter 11 Aiko

It felt useless to practice against Katsuo to be honest. We were practicing and I only used earth styled jutsu which I wasn't used to, and he was still losing.

"God fucking damn it!" He threw his wooden katana sword and sat down on the floor.

"Have you ever thought about thinking what your foe might do in a battle? You know, reading their pattern?" I suggested but he just scuffed it off.

"That's not my style of fighting!"

"No wonder why you lose all the time" I had enough wasting my training with him. I did it better alone.

"I won against that freak Shiori!" I grabbed his collar and looked in to deep in his eyes.

"Don't you call my friend a freak in front of me.." I said, throwing him back to the ground. I was about to walk out of the practice room but Katsuo had to add an another comment.

"You're being the stupid one who's want to protect someone that tried to kill you!" He said and I stopped my pace.

"No. She just.. She didn't know what she was doing. She lost her mind for a moment. It's her kekkei genkai. You wouldn't understand" I sighed and tried to leave but he was coming with more arguments.

"Oh wow. A kekkei genkai that makes you into a murderous psychopath! Yeah, so believable"

"I told you, you wouldn't understand!" I yelled and exited the room. I hastily walked out of the Kage building and made my way to Shiori's shelter. I needed to know her point of view about the whole kekkei genkai situation. I was almost at her home but someone grabbed my arm.

"Aiko! She will just try to kill you again!" Said Katsuo and held my arm tightly so I couldn't walk away.

"Leave me alone! You can't decide what I'm suppose to do. Let me go!" I pulled my back roughly so he let it go.

"Can't we do something instead? Hang out with the others instead of.. Shiori" he suggested.

"Yeah sure" I said ironically and rolled my eyes.

"Why don't you just hang out with Shinju and the other while I just have a calmly conversation with my best friend? How does that sound?" Katsuo had started to hang out with the "popular" people, including Shinju. You could almost thought that they were together. Weirdly enough, nothing was either confirmed, or official in that case.

"What are you talking about? I don't only hang out with her.. come on, can't we have some fun for once?" He said and tried to hold my hand. I snatched my hand away from him. Feeling disgusted that he tried to do.. something?

"Like what..?" I asked and he looked up. It's a thing he do when he thinks. At least what I've noticed.

"Can't we invite some people and have a grill party or something?" I actually laughed at his suggestion.

"Yeah right... never" I proceeded to walk away but he quickly tried to slow me down by being in the way.

"Wait wait wait! Okey so what about we...  hang out tonight?" I raised my eyebrow. Worried about that he might set me up for a prank or something.

"It's gonna be fun, I promise!" He sounded so excited. I didn't understand the deal.

"Sure. If I'm allowed to talk to Shiori" I said and his face turned neutral.

"... sure. But I've warned you!" He dashed off somewhere else and finally left me alone.

I walked to Shiori's shelter and entered her home to see her sitting on her worn out couch, smoking a cigarette.
