Chapter 20
Alexis's POV
6am
I walk to the training grounds and I dodge Lord Raikage's hand by side stepping and walking around him.
"Your late." Lord Raikage grumbles.
"You expect someone to wake up at 5 am who ran for two days straight? Besides I only slept a half hour more before I got ready and came out here." I say to him.
"That's fair." Lord Raikage mutters and we walk into a clearing where I see a bunch of Genin talking.
"Line up." I order and they line up quickly under my stern almost like my fathers, sounding voice. I watch them amused as they scramble to get in line.
"Your to help train these guys in chakra control." Lord Raikage orders me.
I nod and all the students look at me.
"Introduce yourself." Lord Raikage orders me.
"My name is Alexis Uchiha, I'm the Heiress and the Leader of the Konoha Police Force and a Jonin of the Leaf, also known as the Myth." I say to the Genin and I look around to see multiple rocks and I think back on how I learned to control my chakra. "The first thing I'm going to teach you is how to climb up a rock with out using your hands, normally in the Leaf we would use tree's since we're surrounded by tree's but seeing as this is the cloud and it has more rocks than tree's they will have to do." I say to them and everyone looks at me as if I were crazy.
"Your using a Leaf method only a bit twisted to fit the Cloud Genin?" Lord Raikage asks me lowly.
I look at him calmly. "Lord Raikage you ordered me to teach them on how to control their chakra, this is the easiest and probably the hardest method I know for Genin, you want them to be strong correct?" I ask him and he reluctantly nods.
I turn back to the Genin with a smirk. "Choose a tall rock, I'd prefer it to be a hood height and not short or pebble sized and deffinetly not cliff sized in case you fall." I say to them and the nod and each walk to a rock. I stand next to one rock and I look at it for a second before I turn to the students. "Focus your chakra to your feet and keep it at a steady flow and do not stop that flow even when you guys get to the top, chakra is what keeps a ninja balanced as they run on water or jump from tree to tree or fly through the air or run on sand. I'll show you how to do it before you guys try." I say and take a few steps back, I focus my chakra to my feet and I pull out a kunai, I run up the rock all the way to the top and I look down on them. "Pull out a kunai to mark where you get before you fall." I say to them as I put my kunai away.
"Woah, looks like Alexis is training these guys today, that she be fun to watch." Darui says with a smirk at the bottom of my rock.
I jump down and land on my feet. "Now you guys try." I say and they nod and I see them focus their chakra, I focus on how much they're putting in and I instruct the kids who put to much in on how to put in the perfect amount and the same for the kids who put to little in.
"This hard, we're never gonna get it." A girl says and sits down and a few others sit down next to her.
I look at them with amusement as I remember Hana and Logan doing the same thing. "Here, I'll make a deal with you guys, if you can make it to the top of your rocks without using your hands by the end of the day, I'll stay for an extra week and teach you in basic Genin Jutsu." I say to them and they look up at me with determination.
"Yes Ma'am." They say and scramble to their rocks.
"What?" Lord Raikage asks unamused by what I said.
"Lady Tsunade said I could stay a while longer after the mission if I wanted to and if they make it to the top by the end of the day, then I stay for an extra week to teach them basic Jutsu used by all five countries." I say to him and he growls and mutters incoherent words.
I watch the kids and I catch the ones who fall every few minutes. I wait for the rest of the day as I watch them.
"Alexis?" C asks behind me.
I look at him. "Yes C?"
"What are you doing?" C asks.
"What Lord Raikage ordered me too, he wanted me to teach these Genin Chakra Control and he's not too happy that I'm using a Leaf Method." I say and C looks at me shocked.
The Next Day
Lord Raikage breaks a hole in my wall and I sit up with a kunai already out, ready to defend myself.
"Follow me." Lord Raikage orders me.
I look out the window to see it once again 5 am. I sigh and put my kunai away and I follow him.
This happens everyday for the rest of the week and finally when it came to the last day I get surrounded by kids.
"Do you have to go?" One of the girls asks me and a few others repeat her.
"Eh? Yes I do have to go, Lady Tsunade is gonna kill me if I dilly dally on my way back to the village." I say to them and everyone but the Genin laugh at my misfortune.
I finally make it out of the crowd and I stand outside the gates.
"Come again soon." The Genin say and Lord Raikage, Killer B, Yugito, Darui and C nod to me.
"I'll try." I say and nod back to them before I start running back to the village.
I make it there 2 days later and I stand at the gate panting.
"You look sleep deprived." Izumo says to me.
"Every morning at 5 am, Lord Raikage would bust a hole in my room and order me to follow him to his office or to the training grounds to teach a bunch of Genin till Midnight." I say to him and he laughs.
"That must have been rough." Izumo says to me and I nod.
"Now I know why Lord Raikage is always such a grump." I say and stand up straight. "Alright see ya." I say to Izumo and he nods.
I run down the streets and a kid with gray hair gets in my way, I jump over him and I stop.
"Alexis!" Naruto yells running up to me.
I look at him confused. "Naruto?" I ask and he nods.
"Have you seen Sora?" Naruto asks as he looks around.
"Who?" I ask and Naruto groans remembering I didn't do something.
"Hey has gray hair and wears monk clothes, he also has a sour attitude." Naruto says to me.
"Oh you mean the boy who walked in front of me as I was running to the Hokage building, which I really should get to by the way, uh, he went that way." I say pointing to a direction and Naruto nods and runs the way I pointed. I run to the Hokage building and I run up the steps and walk into Lady Tsunade's office.
"Ah Alexis, your back, good." Lady Tsunade says with a smirk.
A feeling of dread washes over me. "Whatever the next question is, its no, absolutely not." I say and Lady Tsunade laughs.
"All you have to do is keep an eye on Sora." Lady Tsunade says to me.
"Lady Tsunade, I don't think you understand why I said no. I said no because Lord Raikage busted a hole through my bedroom every morning at 5 am and he went to bed past Midnight and that only left me less than 5 hours of sleep, plus I felt with kids and him grumbling all day about how I was using Leaf Methods and how they we're more effective than his teaching." I say to her and Lady Tsunade just laughs.
"Sorry Alexis, you have to deal with a teenager for a while." Lady Tsunade says to me with a smirk.
"If he calls me old once, then I quit looking after him." I say to Lady Tsunade and she nods.
I walk out of her office and out if the building, then I walk around town and I find Sora, Naruto, Kiba and Akamaru fighting. I snort and grab a hold of Kiba's and Akamaru's collars and Shikamaru catches Sora and Naruto in his Shadow Possession Jutsu.
"Let me go." Kiba says then realizes it me and he stops fighting me. "Hello big sister Alexis." Kiba says to me as he laughs nervously under my stare while Akamaru just barks at him.
"Hello Kiba, now tell me, why are you fighting with Sora and Naruto? And Akamaru, why did you join in? You two know better, I'm sure Tsume taught you better and if she didn't at least Hana did." I say to them and they both look at me ashamed. I set them down and I walk over to Naruto and Sora. "And Naruto, Kakashi and Lord Third taught you better than to street fight on the side of a pathway and create havoc, and Sora, you we're raised in a temple of Monks, they don't particularly like to fight and you were raised by them correct?' I ask and he nods. "Then you shouldn't be street fighting either." I look at all four of them.
"Don't say it." Kiba says to me quickly.
"I'm disappointed in you four, now apologize to each other." I say and Akamaru and Kiba wimper.
"I don't like it when she's disappointed in me." Kiba says and Akamaru nods.
"Think about your actions before you let your temper get to you Kiba, next time choose to walk away." I say to him and Kiba nods then apologizes to Sora and Naruto then walks away with Akamaru.
"Nice job." Asuma says with a smirk.
"Can you keep an eye on Sora? I have to do a few things real quick." I say handing a paper to Asuma.
Asuma reads it and nods.
I walk to my apartment building and I walk up to my apartment, I pass Logan's apartment and I hear some commotion inside, but that's normal, I unlock the door to my apartment and I set my stuff down and walk to my bedroom, I fall on bed on my face and two people walk into my apartment and to my room.
I throw two kunai by the door.
"She's tense."
"Yeah."
I look to see Hana and Logan and I reluctantly get up and walk over to my bedroom door, I pull my kunai out of it and I set them on my table, then I walk back to my bed and sit down.
"So, how was your mission?" Hana asks me.
"Stressful, I'm pretty sure I lost a few years off my life because of it." I say and Hana sits next to me. "Oh and Lady Tsunade decided that I should look after Sora while he's here even though I just got back." I say and Hana and Logan just smile at me and I look at them confused. "Uh guys? What the hell is wrong with your faces?" I ask as I back up slightly and I fall off the side of my bed. "That hurt."
"We just have some big news for you." Hana says and I slowly inch out onto my balcony and they follow me, inch by inch, like in a horror movie.
"Me and Hana" Logan says and looks at Hana.
"Are getting married." Hana says with a grin.
I stop cold in my tracks. "What?" I ask and they grin.
They should have waited, Hana and Logan just started dating.
"We know what your thinking but Alexis, we've been dating for almost a year, you've been really busy to even notice that the time has been going by." Hana says to me and my eyes widen.
I process this and I slowly stand up to look at them. "I'm happy for the both of you, now, I think I should get back to Sora before he turns Asuma's hairs gray." I say and Hana and Logan look at me skeptically.
"You don't sound happy." Logan says to me.
"I am, really, like you guys said, I've been to busy lately and I haven't really gotten anytime off, its just a bit stressing on how much I missed while I was busy." I say and Hana and Logan look at me doubtfully. I walk past them quickly before my face betrays how I'm actually feeling about this.
I walk out of my apartment, grabbing my Jonin jacket on the way out and I walk down the halls at a fast pace and once I get to the door I put on my flack jacket and walk out of the building.
I look around town and I finally find Sora, I walk up next to him and he looks at me with a small glare.
"Mean lady." He says to me.
I sigh. "My name is Alexis Uchiha, I wasn't trying to be mean, but you boys need discipline." I say to him and Sora just grumbles. "I'll take you on a tour of the village, follow me, I know the best short cuts." I say to him with a smile and Sora just nods, really annoyed with me.
"You should be taking that as her apology, she's got too much Uchiha pride to say sorry." Logan says walking up to us with a smirk and with Hana next to him.
"Then I accept your apology, Old Lady Alexis." Sora says to me with a smirk.
I harshly breath in through my nose at the name and Logan falls on the ground dying of laughter while Hana just laughs while holding her stomach as if she can't breath.
I step on Logan and he squirms as I walk over him. "Follow me Sora." I say and Sora follows me.
"That was rude." Logan says running up next to me.
"So? You were the one laughing on the ground, waiting for someone to step on you." I say to him and Sora laughs.
"Ok kid, listen here, your attitude is a problem." Logan says to me.
I stop and look at him. "Smelly adult." I say pinching my nose for affect while Hana and Sora laugh at us.
"I'm not smelly you are." Logan says to me with a smirk.
I fake gasp. "Jerk. I say and start walking again.
Logan trips me and I nearly fall but regain my balance before I do. I turn around to look at him.
"Your a nerd." Logan says to me with a smirk.
"Are you trying to start up our old fights again?" I ask him and Logan nods. I look at him skeptically. "Why?" I ask him with a suspicious tone.
"You must be Sora, well, can you walk down the street just out of earshot, we have to speak to Alexis." Hana says to him and Sora grumbles but listens.
Hana and Logan look at me. "Alexis, tell us the truth on what you think about our engagement." Hana says to me.
"I said I was happy for you guys, I know you guys have liked each other since we were Genin, I was just the one in the middle of it all, I just felt like that I was in the way of your guys' relationship, so I gave you guys time together by busying myself with missions. I just didn't realize that I spent so much time on work, that's all." I say and Hana and Logan look at me shocked.
"You busied youself just so that me and Logan could have more time together?" Hana asks me shocked.
"You both told me you liked each other when we were Genin but didn't have the courage to tell each other and ever since James-Sensei died and my clan got massacred, you guys stuck even closer to me because I was the baby of the team, I was the youngest and you guys thought you always had to look after me, so when Logan decided to take time off his duties, I decided to busy myself more so that you two could have more time together. And it turns out, what I did was right for once and now you guys will be happy for the rest of your lives." I say to them as I scratch the back of my neck nervously.
"We didn't even realize. That must have been a lot of pain you went through, not being able to include yourself in on stuff with us because we were busy with each other." Logan says shocked.
I shake my head. "That's why I busied myself, so I wouldn't feel the pain of making myself be left out." I say to them and Hana hugs me to her tightly.
"Looks like we didn't even realize what was actually going on, not you." Hana says to me.
I just stand there as she hugs me.
