Akumi shot up her eyes quickly scanning the room and reaching over to the kunai in the night stand.

Her eyes slowly wandered to the small clock that sat on the nightstand it was 2:37 a.m and then they wandered to the empty space on the bed.

She took deep steady breaths. Her mind was racing as she slowly got up making sure not to make any noise as she moved to the door holding her kunai carefully and ready to attack. She noticed that the hall way light was on and she lightly licked her lips as she slowly opened the door and looked down the hall.

She stepped carefully, had someone snuck in the house? Also where did Naruto go? Her main concern was her brothers safety as she turned the hall looking out into the living room.

"Nee-chan did I wake you up?" She jumped and turned quickly hiding the kunai behind her. "Oh it was just you naru-nii I was just checking to see why you weren't in bed." She stuttered giving him a smile but visibly relaxing.

Naruto cocked his head and frowned. He held a cup of water and seemed to just come out of the rest room. Before she could react he grasped her arm yanking it forward and pried the kunai out of her hands. "You didn't see me and got scared." He stated frowning as he saw her smile falter and look down in shame.

"No its just that I worry, ya know. What if something bad happens if I'm not there. " she mumbled knowing it was really nothing but simple paranoia.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked but she shook her head knowing that he meant that he wanted her to voice her thoughts.

"She's gone. She was executed on the civilian and shinobi councils orders. She isn't going to come back and hurt us anymore." He spoke calmly and reaffirming the facts.

"Yeah I know but when I don't hear you and know you're okay, I..."She trailed off looking away not making eye contact with him. "Yeah I know, I understand. You feel like we are back in those times." He mumbled pulling her into a hug.

"We should sleep, we have our genin test tomorrow." Naruto gave her a soft smile and a kiss on her forehead. She softly nodded and they both went back to bed cuddling and falling asleep as if nothing had happened.

Both Uzumaki were in a hurry getting everything they needed for their test.

"Naru-nii get the soldier pills from the cabinet!" Akumi yelled out as she double checked their supplies. They were having a survival test so she had to make sure they were prepared.

"Hai hai!" Naruto yelled quickly bringing it to her. "Did you brush your teeth, use the restroom and comb your hair." She asked and he quickly nodded. "Okay so we are ready to go so let's hurry or we will be late." She quickly placed the solider pills in her bag and zipped them up before they hurried out.

Both of the twins dashed on the rooftops and were hurrying to the training ground that they were meeting up in.

"Good morning." Naruto smiled widely as they arrived at the training grounds three minutes before the set time.

"We were wondering where you were." Sakura grumbled looking slightly annoyed about something as she pulled random grass where she was sitting at.

"I was double checking that we had everything for the test." Akumi stated as she began taking her backpack off. "Here Naruto, take a solider pill, we didn't have breakfast and you'll need the energy." Akumi placed a pull in Naruto' s hand before grabbing one for herself and popping it into her mouth.

"Do you guys want one? If you didn't have breakfast you'll need to get energy from somewhere." Akumi stated crossing her arms out of habit.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes looked down at the pill before holding out his hand for her to give him one. Akumi rolled her eyes and roughly placed one in his hand before glancing at sakura wondering her response.
