I Need You Back... (Part Two)

Kaori And Hisuka

Naruto then spoke once again and I actually listened this time. "Ryosuke? Are you okay?". I snapped my head up and realised that he was speaking to me. "Oh yeah... I'm fine. Thanks Naruto" I falsely smiled and he looked back confused.

"What are you going to do now Ryosuke?" I heard him whisper and I just sighed. "Wait until I find her..." I said and realised what I said. "I mean when I die in battle!". Naruto just blinked then laughed hastefully. "Haha, you'll be an old man and you won't die in battle. That's a promise!"

I looked at him and that famous smile and the thumb was held high, meaning he made a promise. "I'm fine Naruto. You don't need to make a promise" I said but his thumb turned to a fist. "A promise is a promise! Once made, it never fades!"

I gave a gentle smile and pushed my noodles around softly. "Shall we go then? I'm not hungry no more. You can eat it". Instantly, Naruto grasped my dish of food and slurped it down. "Thanks Ryosuke!" he muttered and I smirked a little.

A few moments later, Naruto had finished my meal as well as his and got off of his seat. "Man, my gut is so full. I'll be back for more so don't worry Teuchi!" Naruto said and the noodle maker smiled. "I won't. Cya later boys". Me and Naruto walked out of the stall and Kakashi appeared in front of me.

"Hello boys. Ryosuke, I need you for a moment and it will only take a minute. Naruto, meet Sasuke and Sakura at the southern gates. We have some business to take care of first". Instantly, I was gone from Naruto's sight and I saw the Hokage in front of me.

"Ah Ryosuke. Finally here. Now, we never got to promote you to that Chûnin level. So, from here and out, you are now a Chûnin. Congratulations" Tsunade smiled and I was shocked. My eyes widened with amazement yet my mouth hung with shock.

"But my lady-" "Now now Ryosuke, it was around time that we did promote you and we never did. So we just did". I bowed and she laughed. "Now, Kakashi, summon Team 7 here. I need to get them to see and hear the mission" Tsunade said and with that, Kakashi weaved hand signs and a tornado appeared with Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto in it.

"Lady Tsunade?" Sakura said stunned and Tsunade laughed. "Now that you're all here, I have two announcements. One, Ryosuke is now a Chûnin and two, its about the mission" she said and I heard Naruto gasp.

"Good job Ryosuke" Sasuke said and I turned and faced him. "Thanks" I said with proud written all over my face. "How did you- How come- Aw man!" Naruto whined but I chuckled a little.

"Now, Attention Team 7. This mission is to deliver a package to the rock village, Ishigakure. This package is not to be opened at all under any circumstance. You must guard it with your lives. Deliver it to the castle and present it to her lady, Yori. You have a week to deliver the package and to guard the princess of the Japanese federation for a day. I'm trusting you Team 7." She called and we all nodded.

"Dismissed". We all immediately left the room and headed to the doors before leaving the building. "A princess! Wow! I wonder what she looks like!" Naruto yelled and I chuckled a little. "Calm it Naruto. We have to deliver this package asap. Well, we have to get the package first" I noted so we headed to the delivery office.

"State your business" an old man said and I stood forward. "We were sent by Lady Tsunade to collect a package and deliver it to Ishigakure". The old man was only around five feet and he had no hair apart from the sides of his head. His eyes were closed like he had been napping all day but he shortly lifted up a small box around thirty centimeters long and ten wide and pushed it to us.

"Yeah yeah, get going you kids". With that, we left automatically and left the building. "So, what do you think is in there?" Sakura asked me curiously and I shrugged. "I don't know. I'm not peaking. We aren't allowed to look at it, even under any circumstance" I quoted and Sasuke just grunted. "Are we going or what? It takes a day to get there and back". I saw Naruto huff and I sighed.

"Yeah, we're just waiting for Kakashi now" I said and I leapt off onto a building before Team 7 followed me. "Kakashi takes forever and he always lies. What's the pony of having a Sensei who can't read time!" Naruto yelled and both I and Sakura chuckled. "Well, if I was Kakashi right now, I'll be walking across the street before a black cat walked my path" Sakura exclaimed and we all laughed.

"More like reading those books of his" I laughed and we giggled a little longer before stopping to laugh our heads off. "What, the Ichi Ichi Paradise books?" Sasuke asked and we stopped as I realised that Lenora had given him one.

"Were you lot talking about me again?" We heard and I saw Kakashi standing with a book in front of his face. It was the one Lenora had given him. "Well, you lot was talking about me" he said and I just turned away. "I have the package. Lets go" I ordered and before leaping off, a hand grabbed mine.

"Sir Ryosuke". I looked and it was the girls. They had their long black hair tied up and their brown eyes seeping from the whites of their eyes. "Ryosuke? Since when did you have a pair of girls calling you Sir Ryosuke?" Kakashi asked and I sighed before being pulled down by them.

"Girls? Go away" I said but they refused with a shake of their head.

"Sir Ryosuke, we cannot let you go. It was the princesses orders-"

"There are no princes-!" "Both princesses sent us to watch you Sir Ryosuke"

"Stop calling me Sir Ryosuke!"

"It is our duty too Sir R-"

"ARRGGGGHHH!!!!"

I knew that my team thought that I was acting crazy but they decided to ask some questions. "Ryosuke? What's going on?" Naruto asked me and I looked at the girls.

"Sir Ryosuke, you may be allowed to tell them your problems" "But not everything" the other tells me and I grunted. "Tell me your names" I ordered and they nodded instantaneously.

"I am Kaori. I'm Hisuka's older sister" she said and I nodded. She was a little different but she still looked identical to her younger sister. Kaori had black long hair yet it had a tint of brown in it. Her roots were brown and the rest of her hair was black. Her eyes were a dark brown and contrasted with her hair.

"So, Kaori is my older sister. I'm Hisuka" she told me. Hisuka was a little shorter and her hair was brown at the roots and black away from the roots. Her eyes however, were a light brown and didn't match her hair. So, at least I could identify them.

"Sir Ryosuke, you may tell them your worries" Kaori said and I nodded with thanks. "Lenora is still alive and is working with Yuzuki. She doesn't want me to go after her but I'm going to. I AM going to find her as she is going to get killed for real because she's going to kill the A-" "That's enough Sir Ryosuke" Hisuka said and I breathed harshly.

"What... Lenora's a-alive?" Kakashi asked surprised and Kaori nodded. "Yes, she as well as her princess sister Yuzuki are hunting. They cannot be disturbed Sir Ryosuke. You do remember what she wrote right?" Hisuka asked and my head hung slowly.

'If you try telling anybody that I am alive... I will have to kill you'. I looked up and felt a little scared before Kaori touched my shoulder.

"She wanted is to tell you that you can tell your team, but if you told anybody else, she will kill you" she explained and I shuddered before Hisuka spoke up.

"If you also search for her, she will kill you. You can't hide from her if you spot her. She will have no mercy". I gulped harshly and the girls backed up.

"We'll be watching from a distance..."
