Shout

[39] Brother

Kagami stares into the boy's eyes as the sand descends down on her, aiming to kill.

"What's going on here?"

The sa' drops from above, burying Kagami up to her ankle in it. Gaara lets out a noise of annoyance before shoving past her and heading down the stairway, his sand spiking dangerously as he passes. Kagami turns to look over her shoulder, meeting the eyes of her brother. She smiles lightly at him more than relieved to have his presence with her. He smiles back before taking her hand and walking her back to the audience.

"You know what's going on don't you?" Kagami nods at him, wondering why they are moving away from the balcony. "Shikamaru moved to the audience, plus we would be most useful there."

Kagami nods again, her face flushing slightly. Kakashi doesn't glance at her, he's too busy thinking. There's rumors going around. Rumours that Kagami is the rat. That she's the one getting information out, he didn't want to believe it. But the fact that she knows all that information before anyone else proves a little suspicious. He tries to shake his thoughts but things seem to be adding up nicely to be a coincidence. She's been under speculation ever since that criminal came in knowing her name and information about her.

Suddenly Kagami tugs on Kakashi's hand to get his attention. He looks down at her as she looks away from him and at the ground.

"Kakashi can I ask you something, it must be top secret?" The man's eyes widen, possibilities running through his head.

"Yeah,"

'Maybe they were right, maybe she is leaking information.'

Kakashi watches her closely as she tries to look at him but avoids his gaze. The two slow down before completely coming to a stop on a platform between the stairs. She tugs her hand out of his, looking at the ground again.

'Shame? Worry? Is she really betraying Konoha?'

"What do you do if . . . if . . .um," Kakashi stares at his sister, he has never heard her stutter before, let alone not know what to say.

"What's going on Kagami? Is something going on?" Kakashi almost starts to sweat as his hands shake a little.

He loves his sister, but if she has betrayed the village there is nothing to do apart from eliminate her. His eyes tear up at the thought, wishing for it not to be true.

"What do you do if-if-if," Kagami looks up from the ground and straight into her brothers eyes, her face bright red, "What do you do if someone kisses you?!"

Kagami's voice came out a lot louder than she had intended, she raises her hands over her mouth in embarrassment.

"Huh?" Kakashi's head tilts to the side, his mind blank.

His eyes go wide and his body suddenly seems so small.

'Here I was, thinking she was a traitor, when all she wanted was boy advice . . . . ?'

Kakashi shakes his head smiling slightly at his little sister. He pats her head lightly as she plays with the end of her shirt and glares at the floor.

"You see Kagami, when a boy kisses you, if you like him back, you can kiss him back. But if you don't, kick him in the scrotum. Okay?"

Kagami nods, grabbing his hand and continuing on their walk to the audience. She suddenly stops again, looking dead into her brother's eyes.

"Brother," Kakashi sweat drops at her formality, "A boy kissed me. And then walked off. What do I do?"

Kakashi's eyes widen excessively.
