*Recap*
"Do you wanna meet me at Ichiraku's ramen tomorrow?" Once I asked him he jumped up and down like he was a child offered to stay up late. "Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes!" He said looking at me with his eyes wide. I laughed a little and then turned for my leave. I waved bye as Naruto ran off in his usual happy way.
"So much for a good day. Hopefully father will be a little forgiving" I said turning the door knob and entering. Little did she know, that someone was listening.
*End of Recap*
I was walking down the streets of Konoha. I gripped my shoulder and pulled my clothes over the bare skin. Dad wasn't so kind to me last night. I told him I was sorry, but he didn't listen. He threw me around and hurt me. Called me names. I am used to it. But the pain in my heart is unbearable. Whatever I do, that pain won't go away. It won't leave me alone. I've tried everything. Nothing works. Father added to my bruises last night with his fist. He even used the things around him. I don't want him to hate me. I really don't. I just want be loved... But who would love me?
I walked up to a clearing surrounded by trees. We were supposed to meet Kakashi Sensai here. He was late. I was late too, but that was for personal reasons. I could see Naruto and Sakura. They looked like they would pass out any minute. I also saw Sasuke. He had his usual bored expression on his face. I gripped my shoulder tighter hoping nobody would see the bruise. I started to walk up to them, that's when Naruto saw me. "Seiko!" He exclaimed rushing towards me. "How come your late?" He asked once he reached me. I looked at him and smiled. "My alarm didn't go off in time. I'm sorry." I said giving him a "smile" at the end. He starts grinning like the goof ball he is. Then I feel him dragging me to our team, I thought he was tired a minute ago. Hm.
Once I get there I felt a presence. I look around and see Kakashi making his way over to us. Once he is about a yard away from us he starts apologizing about how he saw a black cat cross his path and he had to take the long way. I know why he was late though. He was visiting the KIA grave stone. So many names have been engraved on there. So many have fought for us. And yet... My thoughts are interrupted when Naruto suddenly charged at Kakashi. Oh crap. I didn't hear what he said. Oh no. I should have been listening. Naruto is suddenly stopped with kakashi behind him, holding Naruto's kunai to his head. We widen our eyes at the sight. I wouldn't have expected less honestly. He is a Jounin after all. If only I knew what we were doing.
He then looks at me and lifts up a set of bells. "I noticed you were spacing out. I will tell you again. You must get these bells from me by noon. If you don't, you won't eat and you will be sent back to the academy. Got it?" I looked at him with a furious blush on my face. I am so embarrassed. I turn around and raise my thumb up, not wanting them to see my face. This reminds me of when. Oh shit! I bring my hand to cover my right shoulder. I turn around once my blush is gone. "Get ready." Kakashi says looking at our determined faces. "And... Start!"
I spring to the first place I think can be a good hiding spot. I find a tree and take cover there. I land on the top and sink into the green leaves surrounding me. It is a good thing I chose to wear green today. I look around and see that everybody has taken a hiding spot, except Naruto. What is he doing? I look and hear him say, "You and me, right now. fair and square. Let's go!" I internally face palm as I watch Naruto charge towards Kakashi, only to back off at the last moment. Naruto starts to analyze what he can do about the situation. I look at him. He is pretty brave to face a jounin head on. Kakashi then pulls out a little orange book. He is reading during a taijutsu match? Is he not expecting much from us?
I dig my nails into my skin not caring the marks it leaves. How dare he do that. I want to be a great ninja like my mother was. I have to beat this guy. And underestimating us will get him nowhere. I leap down from the tree and land gracefully next to Naruto. "Seiko! Why are you over here. I can do this on my own." He says with a bright smile. I look at Kakashi then back to Naruto. "No. We need to work together to get those bells. He's a jounin, remember?" I say tilting my head.
