Little Misfits

Chapter Five: Flashbacks not Nightmares

Akumi Pov________

I scanned kakashi Sensei's body slowly pushing chakra into his system.

"Is kakashi sensei going to be okay?" Sakura asked and I couldn't help but sigh.

"He needs rest. The sharingan drained his chakra very quickly and he was using high ranked attacks." I say standing up and glancing at them.

"Well at least we don't have to worry about that Zabuza guy anymore." Naruto smiled and I crossed my arms.

"Luckily we don't, but seriously you guys are too reckless. You nearly got Naruto killed. If sensei hadn't been there he would have cut Naru-nii in half." I hissed angry at the plan that had come up with.

"But I didn't get hurt and we made it out with small injuries besides I was the only that could pull that off." Naruto stated and I slightly glared at him.

"Well it was reckless. Placing yourself in dangerous situations like that." I started ranting and Naruto frowned. "Well the plan worked and we are safe and you don't have to worry about it." Naruto buded in.

We both narrowed our eyes at each other trying to get each other to back down. "I've told you that you can't baby me as much as you used to. Admit it, if it had been Sasuke or Sakura that would've done what I did you would be praising their teamwork and wouldn't be nagging about how they out themselves in danger. " Naruto stated annoyed.

"But because it was me, you want to get on my case just because you don't trust my abilities or because you think that I should always sit in the rear and stay away from anything remotely dangerous. I'm a ninja and I will be on a few dangerous missions that's literally part of the job dattebayo." He grumbled.

The three of them were awaiting my response or to at least deny the claims but I said nothing, its not like what he was saying wasn't true.

I turned my heel. "I'm going to help tsunami." I grumble storming out of the guest bedroom at Tazuna's home.

Dinner was awkward. Well at least for Naruto and I since he was doing his best to avoid me.

I had tried to sit beside him but he moved between sakura and Sasuke and every time I talked to him he would look away. I sighed at his stubbornness.

Yes I got his point he had made it clear that he was no longer weak and that he had the skill but I just couldn't help but try to keep him out of danger.

I sighed knowing I had messed up I licked my lips and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry."

Naruto slowly turned and looked at me a smile spreading across his face. I gave him a half smile and looked down.

"See that wasn't so hard." He smiled standing up and plopping down beside me. I looked down at my hands.

I hate fighting with him. I hate having him avoid looking at me and ignore me, it made me feel guilty.

I felt Naruto pat my head reassuringly and I looked up to him. "Its okay, I'm not that mad. Besides I guess it wasn't such a big deal." He smiled and I quickly pulled him into a hug.

I felt better, I know I was wrong and having apologized felt like a weight off my shoulders.

"I'm sorry for getting like that I just, when he attacked you I felt that I wouldn't be fast enough to save you. I saw you nearly get killed and the thought of you not being with me scared me." I whispered lowly so only he could hear.

"Oh, I didn't think you felt that way." He mumbled hugging me back. "I promise I'll try to be more careful." He stated as we pulled away.

I looked up at him and nodded.

Things seemed to go back to normal. Naruto had stopped ignoring me, sakura was chatting away and Sasuke and I were quietly listening.
