Yuko, child interrogator (muahahaha)

to the Akamichi's

Ok people, so the other day during lunch one of my friends was talking about how much he loves his fans and how he didn't expect to get them (he's a semi big thing musical.ly ) and I immediately asked what it was like to have fans... that's when he looked at me and said "you already know, you've had fans longer than I have" and so I was all confused until he told me "look at all your fans on Wattpad that you talk about so much, I could never hope to get that many" and I seriously was about to cry.

So this goes out to all those who read and comment on my story's THANK YOU GUYS!!

also, i published my Harry Potter story, just the first 2 chapters to see how people like it and then i will start updating! And please don't lie to me on this when i say "how people like it" that is good or bad ill be updating ether way.

The school day ended, and me and Choji made our way to the Akamichi compound. Him looking forward to dinner as he had run out of chips not long after lunch time.

Ino had come up to him today and told him he should stop eating so much or something,... i couldn't hear from my place by Sasuke, and so that day at lunch just to spite her i shoved a whole handful of chips in my mouth. the idea came to me when choji asked me that, as a girl, if i thought that he would look better if he cut back on the snacks.

"Yes," i had told him "but if you did i would need to find someone else to munch with and your the best munching buddy in all the ninja world and it would be a crime to take such a gift away from society just for the sake of looks." my voice serious as my eyes narrowed daring him to stop snacking and bring the world to an end.

so now, we made our way across the market, as Choji was told to pick up a few things from one of his clan stores, carrying shopping bags. i had to wait outside because , though it made waiting in line much faster, when i entered the shop all other costumers cleared out.

i get this creepy feeling, have had it all day, that i am being watched. i look around but cant see anything or anyone following me so i try to shrug it off. I follow Choji to a compound not far from the Nara compound i visited yesterday, however this was much more bright and full of shops; The Akamich's seemed like there own little town, restaurants and markets, full of bright yellows and reds that the land of fire was so well known for. Everyone was so happy and friendly, a few wouldn't meet my eyes but that was a great improvement compared to the rest of the village.

a couple of the clan members stopped to talk to Choji and even asked him who i was, as soon as they found out i would be over at the head house for dinner and was a friend of Choji the atmosphere lightened considerably and soon it was almost like i didn't have scars at all, i felt apart of the family and that i was in no way different from anyone in my class. They practically jumped at the fact that they caught me trying to steal one of the pre made luncheons, exclaiming how 'delightful it was too meet a young girl who appreciates good cooking' while shoving lots of food to try in my small arms.

i guess seeing a girl walking around with a skip in her step and a armful of food can get you excepted into a large family of Akamichis in less than a minute, as the rest of the clan seemed far more relaxed after spotting me as such.

We soon arrived at the door and i had to peak my head around the pile of food in my arms, that would probably count as a full months grocery shopping in the Moreno household, just to smile up at Choza. Little to say i was in a much better mood than i had been this morning. Choza relieved me of my burden and set them aside for later so i could take my new souvenirs home to Pa and Idate. Stepping aside form the door he ushered us kids inside.

"Dinners not quite ready yet, Tedsa is just finishing up it will only be a few minutes." Choza hurried off to tell Tedsa, who i assume is Chojis mom , about our arrival.

Shrugging my shoulders i looked around at the house, it was quite a bit larger than Shikamaru's was, but it was in no way any more fancy. the Naras seem to have a bit more of a traditional way to how they set up things, the Akamichi's on the other hand was very bright and vibrant and modern.

i felt a tug on my arm and turned my attention back to a smiling Choji. "We have a butterfly garden in the back wanna see?" i quickly nodded and we set off on another great adventure, exploring the backyard.

When we got outside i could here the sounds of the Akamichi town on on the other side of the house, it wasn't annoying, actually it had a present feel to it to know how close the clan was.

Choji led me to what looked like a giant greenhouse and opened the door for me to go in. walking in i could feel the heat hit my skin but that's not what caused me to gasp. inside was a bunch of flowers and trees, largest garden i had ever seen, and flying around, fluttering there beautifully colored wings where a bunch of butterfly's.

As i watched them Choji began explaining, "We keep them here and once per year for a festival we open up the roof and let them out, its like a wave of flying colors vanishing into thin air. you should see it sometime." I mutely nodded, my eyes tracking a particular blue one that had caught my attention.

"This," i managed to get out, "Is amazing Choji!" we spent the next 10 minutes wandering around the garden and talking about random things, favorite food, choji's newest cookie experiment, and i told him all about my trip to the Nara house.

"Whoa I've never heard of the deer acting like that before."

"Apparently it was new to the clan as well" i explained, "they all gathered in a circle to watch, it was like they couldn't believe what they saw." it was then the blue butterfly i had taken interest in earlier desided it was a good idea to land in my orange hair, almost looking like it was meant to be a clip.

"Animals must really like you Yu-chan" the conversation continued despite my new hair ordainment. "i mean first Akamaru like yous, then the deer at the Nara compound, and even the insects seem to like you" he laughed, "well at least this one dose."

i laughed, "ya even before i came to the leaf i always got along with animals of all sorts," i shrugged "i guess i just didn't notice because animals were so rare."

"really?" his eyes went wide " you didn't have animals where you grew up?"

i shook my head "actually it makes sense considering i grew up in Kirigaku-" i never to finish my sentence as the door to the garden was pushed open, sending a rush of cold air from outside.

"I thought i would find you here choji, oh and you must be Yuko. I've heard a lot about you." i turned around to see a small plump women with short brown hair. I assumed this was Choji's mother, Tedsa, as if I took a good look between them you could see a resemblance.

I finished my assessment of her, which she gracefully allowed, and nodded to her "Hello Mrs. Akamichi it's good to finally meet you." I stood up and bowed to her. She had a softer expression than Yoshino had and smiled large enough for a whole clan.

"Well you seem quite a bit gentler than I imagined" at this my eyebrows rose to my hair line. Never heard that before... as if sencing my confusion she explained "You've got quite the assortment of scars on you, makes you look quite intimidating for an 8 year old, but your eyes tell a different story. Your actually quite gental arnt you Yuko-chan?"

I was about to deny that claim when Choji spoke up. "Ya most the clan seems to like her too. You should see her eat!" I playfully punched his shoulder a bit red from embarrassment.

"Well why don't we all get to know eachother over the dinner I just cooked up hu?." She smiled and ushered us out of the garden, but not before I stoped at the entrance. "Somthing wrong sweatheart?" She asked at my abrupt halt.

I laughed, "no mam nothing like that" I shrugged and reached my index finger into my hair coaxing the blue butterfly onto it and off my orange hair. "Just figured I should put this little guy back " I watched as it flew off to join it's family before turning and running after Choji.

However my quick chase ment that i missed the light in the eyes and a soft smile gracing Tedsa's face as she watched this bright haired little girl chase after her sweats loving son.

"MAKES SURE YOU WAS YOUR HAND BEFORE YOU EAT! AND CHOJI DONT LET HER GET LOST!"
