Forsaken {Book 1}

V: Walking Traffic Cone?

After finally making it up to the cabin, much to Naruto's joy, Sakura knocked on the door four times before taking a step back. After a couple of minutes the door pushed open just enough for a little girl to peek her head out. Her eyes skimmed over Naruto and Sasuke before landing on Sakura, and when they did the girl grinned before opening the door completely and jumping on Sakura to give her a hug. The girl had Blonde hair with some light pink tints, green eyes, and she looked to be about eight or nine years old.

"Saku-nee!" She exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" The little girl finally let go of Sakura and looked at her with question in her eyes.

"Hello Yuki-chan!" Sakura greeted.  "It's been awhile and you sure have grown!" Yuki nodded excitedly.

"Yep!  And kaa-chan is beginning to show me the basics of genjutsu!" Yuki exclaimed before she looked back to Naruto and Sasuke who just stood there awkwardly.  "Who are those two weirdos?" She asked.  Sakura laughed and Sasuke scowled while Naruto growled.

"Who you calling weird you little shrimp?" Naruto asked loudly.  Yuki rolled her eyes.

"You dumbo.  It's not everyday you see a walking traffic cone and a guy with the hair of a duck's ass." Yuki stated. 

"Yuki language!" They heard an older voice say.  Sakura looked up and smiled seeing her Aunt Yuri. Yuri was Sakura's dad's sister while her uncle was a ninja from Kiri who moved to Konoha, then to the mountain. Yuri had long pink hair and bluish-greenish eyes. She wore a long light purple dress with an apron over it.

"Aunt Yuri!" Sakura said happily. Yuri smiled at the girl.

"Ah Sakura-chan! Why don't you and your two friends come inside for a cup of tea and you can explain why you're here!" Yuri stated before turning back around and walking into the kitchen.

"Can I touch your hair?"

"No."

"C'mon please!"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Hn."

"That's not a word."

"Hn, like I care."

"Yuki, leave Sasuke alone about his hair." Yuri said and Yuki sighed dejectedly. Sakura put her hand to her mouth to stifle her giggles while Naruto just full out laughed. Yuri set the tea down on the table before sitting down in the seat next to Yuki, and across from Sakura and the boys.

"Where's Uncle Tekoto?" Sakura asked.

"He went to go get some wood for the fire. Winter is coming soon and we don't want to freeze to death. You know how cold it gets up in these mountains." Sakura just nodded. "Alright so get to talking."

So the three explained everything, Sakura did all the talking while Naruto added in little quips to make him sound more awesome. Yuri just took another sip of tea and nodded.

"Alright, you can stay here, on one condition." The three perked up at this. "You'll have to help around the house, and help Yuki-chan with her training."

"EH!  WHY DO WE HAVE TO HELP THAT LITTLE SHRIMP!" Naruto shouted pointing at Yuki accusingly.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHRIMP YOU WALKING TRAFFIC CONE!" Yuki retorted.

"It's alright Naruto," Sakura quickly said.  "You don't have to worry because I'll try and help her the most." At this Naruto stuck his tongue out a Yuki. "But, you will still have to help her some." Now it was Yuki's turn to stick her tongue out at Naruto. Yuri laughed wholeheartedly.

"It's been awhile since I've seen such liveliness." She claimed standing up from her seat. "Don't worry Naruto-san I'll be doing most of her training. Tekoto should be coming back soon and when he does we can start a fire."

"Aunt Yuri, would it be okay if we just went to our rooms to rest. Naruto, Sasuke, and I are really tired from running here." Sakura claimed. Naruto nodded his head while Sasuke grunted in agreement. Yuri smiled at the three and nodded before pointing at the stair case.

"We only have one spare room since we don't get that many visitors. It's the first door in the right." The three nodded before heading up the stairs with their bags and entering the room.

The room wasn't to big, but it wasn't small. There was a window in the middle of the wall across from the door and there were two small beds on either side of the window. On either side of the beds there was a dresser, and in between the bed there was a night stand with a lamp. Sakura turned to Sasuke,

"There's only two beds, who's going to sleep where?" She asked. Sasuke glanced back at the beds and paused seeing Naruto already asleep on one of them, his bag on the other side of the room. Sasuke sighed and walked over to the bed Naruto was on before pushing him off the bed and onto the floor. To their luck Naruto didn't wake up but Sakura gave Sasuke a look.

"What? I solved our problem. It's not like the dobe would have minded anyways." Sasuke grumbled. Sakura sighed and shook her head giggling.

"You didn't have to push him off though." Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Do you really think I'm the type that would pick someone up and gently put them on the floor?" Sasuke asked.

"But what if it was me?" Sakura asked fake gasping. "W-would you really just push me onto the floor?" Sasuke hesitated.

"N-no." He claimed and Sakura giggled before putting her bag down and getting on her bed.

"That's what I thought."
