My Brother's a Jinchūriki!

Chapter Eight- Sister, Crybaby

Natsumi's eyes opened and she groaned lazily. It can't be morning already...

Rolling over she picked up the clock on her nightstand and frowned. A moment later, it began to beep softly and she groaned again. I always wake up before it...

She set the clock back down and lay on her back, staring at the ceiling. I don't want to get up.

A snore from the opposite end of the room and Natsumi sat up quickly to see her brother and she crossed her arms.

You said you'd get up early no problem! She puffed her cheeks and grabbed her pillow, throwing it at him. I knew this would happen!

The pillow hit Naruto directly on the face and Naruto continued to snore with drool pooling on his pillow. She sighed.

"You know, I hate waking up early, too." She muttered and slid out of bed and stretched, sitting on the edge of the bed quickly when a wave of dizziness hit her. Once it passed she stood again and rubbed her eyes, slowly making her bed until the blankets were smooth and crisp. Walking over to his bed, she retrieved her pillow and put her hands on her hips.

"Naruto, wake up! You said you wanted to train with me this morning!"

Naruto's finger twitched in his sleep, but he remained deep asleep. Natsumi raised the pillow and hit him several times with it. "Nar-u-to! Get. Up. Already!"

She lowered the pillow and growled. "Fine! I'll just have to try harder."

Natsumi slid her arms under his body and grimaced. "Ewwww! Since when did you start sweating in your sleep? There's practically a puddle here."

Clenching her jaw, she lifted him up enough to roll him to the edge of the bed and push him onto the floor.

His snoring stopped and Natsumi let out a sigh of relief. "Oh, finally!"

Naruto curled into a ball on the floor and began snoring again as Natsumi smacked her palm on her forehead.

"Oh, come on!" Tapping her foot in thought she shook her head. "Fine. I tried."

She placed her pillow neatly on the bed and stepped over him, bumping into the dresser. "Oof!" She held up her arm and frowned at the small bruise already forming on her elbow. "Aw, man."

She rubbed the spot gently and looked around the room. We really should get bunk beds or something. There's really not even enough room to walk around or to open the door all the way.

She retrieved a fresh change of clothes and a towel and headed into the bathroom as she yawned again. She turned on the shower and looked at her face in the mirror to pinch her cheeks. Come on, Natsumi. You don't want to go back to sleep. You want to go run for twenty kilometers and then work on your Taijutsu. Then, you're going to practice your Jutsu.

She leaned closer to her reflection, narrowing her eyes as she pointed at herself in the mirror. And you are going to like it.

Natsumi sighed and locked the bathroom door as she pulled her cat pajamas over her head and removed the matching cat sleeping cap. Slipping her fingers in between her skin and underwear, she tugged off her bottoms and dropped them into the overflowing hamper of clothes.

I really need to do laundry today.

She turned into the mirror and blushed as she looked at herself and her eyes fell on her chest. She turned slightly and then crossed her arms to cover her breasts.
