Sairai 再来

Chapter 10 - Graduation won't make us ninja

First POV

The loud bangs on my door pulled me out of my usual nightmare. Even after five years of continually having the same nightmare I was still waking up sweaty and with tears in my eyes. Some nights it got so bad I would wake up screaming. I was sure that Sasuke and Shisui heard my screams since their rooms weren't far from mine, but never said anything.

I lazily got up from bed just as my door opened and Shisui's tall frame came in. His headband was over his eyes, and he was dressed in the normal jonin attire. Even though he lost his eyes it didn't seem to bother him that much, as he acted as he could see everything. I never caught him bump into anything and his precision in battle was as good as always. I've always found it fascinating how well trained his other senses were.

"Chise get dressed and come eat breakfast." He said and I mumbled what I hoped was a 'yes' while making my way to the bathroom. After a quick shower, I went to put on my normal clothes: a black Uchiha shirt similar to Sasuke's and some mid-thigh pants. It was a simple and comfortable outfit. I let my black hair down like I usually did and went downstairs to eat.

"Morning," I said as I walked into our small kitchen taking my place next to Sasuke, who was almost finished with his tomatoes.

"Morning," he replied with his mouth full and I lightly slapped the back of his head. "What was that for?" he asked offended.

"You should speak with your mouth full. It's unpleasant to others and you could choke."

"Hn. Like you don't do the same thing." I rolled my eyes and took ate some rice.

"Hn."

"Chise, your pills," Shisui said ad handed me the three pills that I had to take throughout the day. They were for my heart and helped stabilize it a bit, although in long term they were useless. As long as I wasn't using too much chakra or make too much effort, the doctors said I should be fine. That was why I was training to build up my stamina and keep my breathing and chakra flow in check, so I battle it wouldn't take such a toll on me. I took one with some water and put the other two in a small container and shove it in my pocket.

"Is Naruto not joining us for breakfast?" My cousin asked.

"No." Sasuke answered and I quickly explained.

"He said he had to do one greater prank before we graduate tomorrow. He told us that this one was going to surpass all the other ones."

"Ha, is that so? Do you know what he will do?"

"He kept it a secret from us too," Sasuke said and I agreed. "He said that he will probably be late for the Academy too."

"I see..." Shisui said and finished his meal before he got up from the table. "Well, you should hurry up too, it's your last day so make it memorable." he continued and exited the kitchen leaving both Sasuke and I wondering what made him say that.

We wandered around the house for a couple more minutes making sure everything is in order before we made our way to the Academy.

"Hn. We're already ten minutes late." Sasuke commented irritated. Over the years I spent with him I noticed that he always got anxious and irritated when he was late for things.

"Calm down, it's our last day. I'm sure Iruka-sensei will let us be. He'll probably just have one of his three-hour sessions of heart to heart conversation." I jokingly said. "Plus, I want to see what Naruto did. If he did something as grandiose as he made it sound, I am sure that no one will miss it."

"Hn. I don't think that idiot has the brains to actually pull something off." Sasuke replied and for a second I thought he made it seem like he was upset that Naruto didn't invite us to his pranks like he always did.
