Chapter 41

"And that's when we stole all the food from that mean guy who called me ugly." Ino rambled, her eyes shining while proudly telling me a random story, so I cringed and turned my focus on my book again.

'So to use a Water Style Jutsu you have to-' My thoughts were interrupted by Ino yet again, who launched her body at my side, making a playful annoyed expression. "You aren't even listening properly!" she pouted, which made me sweatdrop.

"Get off her Ino-Pig!" Sakura yelled and pushed her off of me and then turned to me, I blinked surprised, why did her eyes look like hearts for a second?. "Tsuki-chan, let's go somewhere else!"

"I don't-" I started, but was cut off by Shikamaru this time, who lazily scratched his head while sitting up. "You guys are such a bother. I want to sleep in peace..."

"Then leave and don't come near Tsuki-chan!" Ino shouted at him, making both of us sweatdrop. "I'm sleeping next to her because she is quiet." he informed us, only to cause Sakura and Ino to glare at him.

Loud munching was heard and Ino turned her glare towards Choji who was eating chips next to Shikamaru and squinted his eyes, not really interested in her aggressive gaze.

"Why are you even here?!" The blonde yelled who only got a shrug for an answer, making her blood boil even more. "You-!"

"Hey, Ki-chan, whatcha reading?" a sunkissed boy asked me curiously, staring intensely at the pages, not knowing what they meant. "A book about Water Style Jutsus." I answered, but his face was even more confused now. "Do you want to read it after I finish-?" I tried to ask but was cut off.

"Idiot! Leave her alone!" Sakura and Ino yelled in unison, Naruto then stared at them, his face frowning. "No way!" he yelled back while hugging me tightly. When he saw their expression though, feeling the danger and seeing them crack their knuckles, he sprinted off. "The great Naruto Uzumaki is taking a leave now!"

"This...ugh!" Sakura spat and turned to me. "He's soo annoying, don't you think?"
"He's not the one only one who is annoying..." I mumbled and turned the next page from my book.

"Students, the break is over!" Iruka-sensei shouted at the entrance, so the kids started to disappointed walk towards it.

The group that was with me walked behind me and when I wanted to go inside the building, Iruka-sensei stopped me. "Tsuki, we've got the information that your mother is giving birth right now, so when school is over you should directly go to the hospital."

I stared at him, not progressing the words. My mother is pregnant, right? My mother is giving birth right now... Wait... That means she is giving birth to my younger sibling right now!

"Tsuki?" My sensei called out, waving a hand in front of my face. "Are you there?"
I stared at him for a little while longer, before simply nodding and walking inside.

"Wow, Tsuki-chan, you are going to be a big sister now!" Sakura beamed, so I nodded at that. "I guess so, huh." I mumbled and sat down on my seat.

How would that feel like? 'Big Sister Tsuki' That kind of sounds appealing... The question is if it's a boy or a girl... Hm, I would prefer a girl. What name would be suitable for a girl? Sarada? Himawari? Hm... I don't know.

"Psst, Ki-chan!" Naruto called out to me from behind me, so I turned around. "Wanna eat ice cream after class?" I shook my head slowly. "I can't. I have to go to the hospital afterward. My mother is giving birth right now." Naruto understood and beamed. "Woow, in the future, I will run with full-speed to the hospital when we get kids, believe it!"
"Okay then?" was my answer before I pondered about that statement a little longer than needed and decided that he was only making fun of me, so I clicked my tongue and turned away.
