*Editing* Dying From The Inside Out. (A Kiba Inuzuka Love Story)

Chapter 11: Never Prepared.

"I AM SO BORED!" Screeched Atori as she collapsed on the ground at the side of the training area. "We all are, idiot. Training's become so dull that the word training sounds like poison."

Though Eriina's words barely made sense, Kaira understood. The older Grass Ninja, meaning Jiian, Rogue and Azura were quite happy to train the day away.

"I want to see...them," Kaira suddenly said. Eriina looked at Atori awkwardly, who stared back.

"You sure that's a good idea?" The red head asked, her head turning back to the clouds above them. Kaira pondered for a moment, already knowing that no matter what, the answer she gave would get her a lecture.

"I-" She could not reply.

"Exactly," said Eriina. Kaira frowned and sat up. "Well, even if it's not a good idea I...I want to see Naruto! I believe I owe him an apology!"

Though Kaira's voice was small, it sounded strong, brave. Her confidence seemed to deplete when she looked at Eriina's blazing green eyes. "I-If that's okay, Eriina-Chan."

Eriina sat up too, and Atori slumped onto her stomach, tugging her backside up and dragging the rest of her tiny being up too. "Please kill me so I'm entertained," she cried.

Her companions smirked at her, before the three left the sunlit clearing of the forest they were in. 

"So where do we start?" Eriina asked, stretching her back out. Kaira thought for a moment, her eyes scanning this part if the village awkwardly, feeling out of place.

"Let's try...the ramen stand," the silver head suggested, and hearing no complaint from Atori or Eriina, Kaira headed off in the direction of Ichiraku's.

Yet, they found the stand was in fact empty.

"Isn't that him?" Eriina asked, pointing off somewhere else. Kaira turned, and her eyes met with Naruto excitedly. Her excitement faded when she saw the look on his face.

The girl rushed forward to meet him, but Naruto only stepped back cautiously. 

"N-Naruto-Ku-"

"Don't call me that," he said quietly. "You left me."

Kaira was stunned on what to say to that. "Wanna abandon ship?" Eriina asked Atori, but she was replied with a doubtful look. "It's was worth a try," she smirked.

"Naruto, please! I had no choice..." Kaira's voice sounded very tiny and weak. She had, only just got out of the hospital after the incident with the chakra ball that revolved inside her.

"You still left! I was alone! We could have been alone together Kai-Chan! I had no parents either remember!" The blonde boy yelled back.

Few people had stopped in the street to watch, one of those few being Team Asuma. "Hey, uh, love birds! If you plan on screeching at each other uh...you might want to go somewhere private you know..." Atori spoke brightly, the worst tone for this situation.
