Pic is the Koringan that Hayate gets if you're confused.
Seven Years Ago
"Azure," Minato complained, putting a hand on his stomach. The blue haired boy gave Minato an evil glare. "I'm starving."
With a sigh, he grabbed his backpack that was on the ground next to him. He pulled out a five-hundred yen coin. He handed it over to Minato.
"Go get yourself some ramen or something."
Minato stood cheerfully, heading out of the classroom, my eyes following him the whole way. Once he was out of sight, I looked over to Azure.
"Azure-san, why do you always give into Minato-kun?" I asked, thinking back to all the times he'd give Minato coins to get himself some food. All he did was sigh.
"Minato's my best friend, so it's the least I could do," he replied, staring out the window. "Although it's like half of my lunch money." I widened my eyes at his answer.
"Half? What about your lunch?" I asked surprised.
"I just get myself some soybean milk, though that doesn't fill me up much. I push myself through it everyday," he answered, grabbing his backpack. This time, he pulled out a package of pocky. He opened the box, revealing at least thirty pocky sticks. "You want some?"
I reached for the box, pulling one out of it. I took a bite off of the end. With a smile, I looked at him.
"Thanks, Azure-san."
"I'm back!" Minato shouted from behind me. I turned my head to look at him; he was holding a package of already cooked instant ramen. He sat in the seat beside me, already digging into his food. I looked back over to Azure, wanting another stick, but the box was gone. I cocked my head in confusion, but he tapped my knee. I looked down to see him holding one in his hand.
"Make sure he doesn't see," he whispered while I grabbed the delicious snack. I nodded my head, taking two big bites out of it.
"Hey, Hayate-chan," I heard Minato's voice. I looked over to him, a look of curiosity crossing over my features. "Do you happen to know Kushina-chan?" I shook my head, a little confused as to why he's asking about this girl.
"She's our age and she's already graduating from the Academy. I honestly thought that you'd be the first one, considering how good you are. Guess you have some competition."
Even at the age of ten, I felt a ping of jealousy. Why am I feeling this way? Why am I jealous of Minato being concerned about someone who's not even in our class, and more specifically a girl? I'm sure that my face shows resentment for this girl, so I tried to hide it with a smile, but I'm pretty sure Azure caught my expression.
"I'll just have to work harder then," I replied to him simply.
"Me too, I want to be just as good as you two," Minato sighed, now standing up. "I'm going to go practice some jutsus, who wants to come with me?"
I immediately rose from my seat, turning around to Azure. He held his hand up, saying that he just wanted to rest for a bit. With a nod of my head, Minato and I headed out of the classroom and down to the training grounds.
"I'm going to practice on clones, what about you?" Minato asked. I smiled at him.
"Same. I really need to work on that," I answered, already doing the hand sign for the jutsu. Saying the words 'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu' a crappy looking clone popped up. It's face was melting like it was in a Picasso painting along with a pale color, unlike my clothes. A loud laugh erupted from Minato. I gave him an evil glare only to him buckling over in laughter.
"Sorry, I just- I just," he tried to say in between his chuckling.
"You what?" I asked angrily, holding him in the air by his collar. He immediately stopped laughing, now an expression of fear crossing his eyes.
"Put me down, please," he begged. My eyes widened with anxiety as I let him go. He stepped a couple feet away from me.
"Minato, I," I tried to say, but he grabbed a spoon out of pocket. He held it in front of my face, showing my reflection. Now I understand why he was so scared; my right eye was blue with black lines in the shape of an ice crystal. The Koringan (pic at top/first page). "How do I get rid of this?" I started to panic. I don't want anyone else to hate me because of this.
"Ask Iwa-sensei. I have no idea," he replied, putting the spoon back in his pocket. The moment he took another step backwards, I started to panic even more. I felt a tear cascade down my cheek.
"Please don't leave me, Minato-kun," I pleaded, my voice cracking at his name. I could feel my stomach churning profusely; many butterflies were flying in my belly in hopes of escape. I was terrified, I don't want to lose my best friend. But what he did next totally surprised me.
Instead of running away, he came towards me, bringing me into a tight embrace. I could still smell the ramen that he ate earlier on his clothes, along with the scent of the cologne he put on this morning, the same cologne he wears everyday since four months ago. I could feel his warm breath blow on my wavy, brown hair. I wish we could stay like this forever. The first time I've ever felt actual love. I wouldn't give this up for the world.
"I'll never leave you, even if you're stuck with that eye your whole life. You're still my best friend and nothing like that won't make me leave you."
In this moment, second, I was truly happy. I still didn't know why Minato stuck around, even when he found out about this Koringan, but this was when I knew, I fell for him.
