Akira had been sitting beside her sleeping best friend since she collapsed. She was unable to sleep. Due to guilt? Sorrow? Anger? It seemed to be a combination of everything. So much had happened over the course of a few days. She remembered, so vividly, as her brother and mother uttered their last words, illness overtaking them. "I love you" was the last thing they spoke as they died in her arms. Her father never really said it, but he showed it in his actions. He used to help her train...He did so much for her. He hugged her before he left on his mission, but he never came back. Those words of endearment seemed like a foreign concept. Akira hadn't heard those words in so long.

Akira yawned, rubbing her eyes with the palm of her hand. When she had fallen asleep hours prier, she had only being able to sleep for four hours. Yukiya began to stir, flickering open her eyelids to reveal a pair of icy spheres. Yukiya sat up, groaning slightly. "Sorry if I worried you."
"Am fine, only slept four hours like. Never do that again though. The old guy's daughter checked on ya earlier."
Yukiya smiled slightly, playing with her mask between her fingers. "Yeah, don't worry I won't. I feel as if Kakashi is gonna scold me until the day I die." Akira couldn't help but snort at that, her lopsided grin across her face. Yukiya placed on her mask, sensing her teammates nearby. Speaking of the devil, Kakashi and the rest of the team entered the room they were currently staying in.

"Oh, hello comrades-"
Naruto tackle hugged Yukiya and rubbed his face into her mask. It was uncomfortable for both parties. He was crying quite dramatically. "I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA DIE! SENSEI WOULDN'T LET ME SEE YOU UNTIL YOU WOKE UP! EVEN THOUGH AKIRA WAS IN HERE WHICH WAS UNFAIR!"
Akira was laughing her arse off, holding her sides that were hurting from so much laughter. "Poor Naruto. I was making sure she was completely healed. Ya know the stupid thing-"
"Ok, Ok. Dude, your arm is around my chest too tightly... And I am aware I did something stupid, but we don't need to continuously talk about it-"
"I think we do." Kakashi stood with his arms crossed, a clear edge to his tone. He was definitely not happy in the slightest. Their sensei chose to ignore the chest comment. Naruto let go of Yukiya with a slightly nervous smile.

"Could you guys go outside while I talk to Yukiya? This is important." Kakashi placed his finger on his mask, thinking. "We are going to do some training. After this conversation." His eyes narrowed for a moment at Yukiya who was attempting to get up, without avail. She froze at his stare. (A/N: The conversation talking about Zabuza being alive has been time skipped.)
"No no no! Please don't leave meeeeeee. Our sensei is gonna murder meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee."
Sakura gave a soft smile. Everyone left (with many complaints from Yukiya), leaving Kakashi and Yukiya behind.

"So, what do you think the training will be, Akira?" Sakura smiled, walking alongside Akira as she watched Naruto climb up one of the trees like a fecking monkey. Akira smiled slightly, placing her arms behind her head.
"Dunno. Summit to do with the trees maybe." This was her sanctuary. Her domain. Nature was within her; it was within her soul and she loved it. She smiled at the vast stretch of trees before them, with clear, blue skies being perfect weather for training. She threw off her hoodie at a nearby tree. Sasuke was being a creepy fucker again. He was staring at Akira's chest with a growing blush across his face. He didn't turn away, however, until Naruto got into his protective-friend-mode and glared at Sasuke rather darkly until he turned away. Sasuke just rolled his eyes. Sakura looked jealous of her chest, but didn't say anything. 

"Now the training begins!" Kakashi and Yukiya appeared. He stood with his arms crossed, whilst...she wasn't wearing her mask. Odd. She looked beyond pissed though, with her fists clenching and unclenching from time to time. No one seemed repulsed by her face. That was good, at least.
Naruto pumped his fists, ignoring Yukiya's cold aura. "Yes sir!"
"So...before that, " he ignored the glare from Yukiya and he raised his finger. "Let me again explain Chakra power for a Ninja, from the basics."
