When Time Changes More Than One

Hugs!

Keiko POV

"Good job on completing your mission Keiko, they'll be needing you at the hospital later, kids with the flu, Sakura is assisting with the medication," Tsunade said.
"Yes Lord Fifth," I said as I sprung away.

I just finished a mission, and I'm beat if I'm being honest. I quickly ran back to my apartment and took my mask off.

"Geez, I never get a break don't I," I said to myself.

Right before I sat down I heard a knock at the door.

"Coming," I groaned.

I opened the door.

"Heller!"
"Kiba! Akamaru!" I exclaimed as they let themselves in.

Akamaru jumped on me causing me to fallback. He was really big... like geez.... but fluffy, I like fluffy.

"How's it going?" Kiba asked. "Just came back from a mission?"

I nodded as I remained on the floor. Ya see, Kiba is practically my best friend now since I came back to the village, he's been my moral support on become stronger as Naruto isn't here.

"Hospital afterwards?"

I nodded again.

"Geez, you push yourself too much you'll end up working yourself to death," Kiba said as he offered me a hand to pull me up.
"I'm good, I'll live," I said as I grabbed his hand.

Kiba pulled me up.

"Any news about Naruto?" Kiba asked.

I sighed.

"Sadly no, I'm sure he's fine. He's a strong dude," I said.
"Stronger than me?" Kiba asked.
"Heheh, I don't wanna toot his own horn but I would say so... and he got abs," I said while giving off a smirk.

Kiba's head dropped.

"Dang it," he weeped.

Akamaru went up to go comfort him. I pat Kiba's head.

"You're strong though Kiba, we all have our strengths and weaknesses, like Naruto's weakness is Taijutsu... I always beat his ass up," I said while giving off a smile.
"Heheh, I can imagine... Keiko, answer this if you'd like, but... if you reunite with Aki what would you do?" Kiba asked.

My heart pounded, but I maintained my cool.

"Hmm, not sure," I lied.

I'd kill her.

"Oh? What if you reunite with Sasuke?" Kiba asked.
"Probably talk some sense into him," I responded.
"Why not talk some sense into Aki?"
"I thought you disliked her."
"I do, but I'm just curious."
"Well Sasuke has more potential to come back, at least I think so," I said.

"Man, they're both not worth of being a shinobi," Kiba said.
"I guess not, hey you hungry?" I asked

Akamaru yipped in response to my question.

"I'm hungry too," Kiba said
"We'll go to Ichiraku let's go," I said as I grabbed my money and keys and headed out the door.

With Aki

Aki POV

"Do you sense anything?" I asked.
"It's very faint, but he's been around here, possibly close," Ace said.
"Lead the way then," I said.

Ace and I were in a random village trying to find Enzo, The Phoenix. We've picked up small bits of his chakra hopefully it's enough and he doesn't notice he's releasing a little of his chakra.
