Shikidai Pov:

What the hell has Raijin been through?

How can he casually sit there after that reveal?

Why is Sarada trying to get close to Raijin?

Why do I care so much?

Why is everything so troublesome?

I stab my fork aggressively into my scrambled eggs and Inojin gives me a weird look.

"So any other games y'know?" Raijin asks tapping on the table while sipping on his juice.

"We could go training." I suggest. It's something to keep us occupied at least.

"Training for what exactly?" Raijin asks at the same time Sarada says, "Not in this dress."

They shoot each other a look before Raijin turns to me.

He raises an eyebrow and smirks.

"You don't have to come Sarada." I say. I actually prefer if she didn't. Then I can just hang with this illusive but enticing boy.

She huffs and turns her attention to Mitsuki. "What would you like to do today?" She asks while flirtatiously tucking her hair behind her ear. On the other side of the table Cho Cho eyes every action with crude disdain.

I nudge Inojin. It's a code we have for when we want private conversations.

What do you want Shika? He asks.

Does Cho Cho like Mitsuki? I grin.

Give me one sec. He clicks off our connection and focuses on the pixie girl.

He narrows his eyes fractionally and sticks out his tongue as he concentrates.

I snort into my juice.

Hmm, she got like a mind sheildy thingy. He frowns.

Wait, I can just see it. She's envisioning dumping her breakfast all over Sarada's hair. He grins.

I contain a laugh.

"I don't know too many games. What do you think we should do?" He directs his attention to Raijin.

"Raijin." He introduces himself.

Mitsuki smiles. "I'm Mitsuki. It's nice to meet you Raijin."

"How come?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by that question." Mitsuki observes Raijin with keen interest.

"Why is it nice to meet me?" He rephrases.

"You are an interesting boy. Don't many people like you?" Mitsuki asks. 

"They like aspects of me. Mostly how they're going to kill me y'know." Raijin grins. It's all fake bravado though.

"Why do people want to kill you?" My mother frowns.
