Chapter 21
Umi's POV
The Next Day
"WAKE UP!"
I ignore Tsume's yelling as I get myself up and Coco follows me to the main house where I see Hana just getting up and yawning. "The only way to survive in autumn is having a cup of Hot Chocolate in the morning and then getting everything done." I say and Hana nods in agreement as we use the coffee machine to brew two cups of hot chocolate. I walk the dogs while drink my Cocoa and Coco follows me and then I feed the dogs.
"Bye babe." Kiba says as he kisses my forehead and leaves.
I raise an eyebrow. "Mission?" I ask.
"Training, me and Shino were gonna train today." Kiba says to me and I nod,
"Ok, see ya later." I say and the door slams shut. "I swear I thought I knew this, Kiba said something last week, but I couldn't hear him over the barking, this must have been what he said." I say and I walk to my house and change into a dark blue long sleeve with black leggings, my flack jacket and my light gray jacket on over and I leave the jacket open, I put my Leaf Forehead Protector on around my neck and I put my ninja sandals on and I walk out the door with Coco walking next to me. "See ya Hana, Kakashi's requested all Jonin, not sure why, but I'll be back later, maybe." I say and Hana nods.
"Should I keep Coco with me until then?" Hana asks me.
"Nah, she seems eager to be walking by my side." I say to Hana with a smile and I walk out of the compound with Coco right by side. (Picture of Coco in Media)
We walk to the Hokage office and I see all the Jonin there, while I sweat drop at how crowded it is, so I pick Coco up in my arms and walk towards the front, to look Kakashi in the eye. "One behalf of everyone who enjoys their personal space, do you mind telling us on why the fuck we are here, early in the morning? I haven't even had breakfast yet." I ask and a lot of Jonin agree with me.
"There's a new bunch of Genin, I've already picked the teams." Kakashi says with a closed eyed smile. "Ami, you get team 1, since you normally don't have much to do." Kakashi says to me and my eye twitches but I go along with it.
After the meeting all the Jonin but me hang out with each other.
Damn, my schedule it starting to get busy again.
'Its fall, it always gets busy at this time of the year'
I wish I was a bear who could hibernate through the winter
'Everyone does, but that doesn't change your species, now go on, it's almost time for lunch, grab something to eat, then lets head to the academy'
I walk to Ichiraku's and have a bowl of ramen and then I head to the Academy and wait outside a room for a couple hours, just observing the three students by what they're talking about and I see one of them lay a trap for me in the doorway.
I raise an eyebrow, clearly amused. "They think they can out prank the prank master?" I whisper to myself and I run out the door and I jump into the classroom by the window and the students are just intently watching the door, not giving me a glance until Coco barks at them, making the three students fall out of their chairs.
"GAH! Where did you come from!" They yell at me.
I raise an eyebrow as I look at the prank and I smirk as they try walking but fall forward on their faces. "Awesome job Coco." I say to her and she licks my face. "You don't try to prank the prank master, you'll fail in the end." I say and the three gulp and point up but I side step dodging the prank above my head. "Jeez, you couldn't even hide it." I sigh and clean up the mess and once I'm done I sit on the teachers desk. "Intro's, say what you like, I don't care, just so long as I know your name." I say and the kids raise their hands.
"What's your name?"
"Me? I'm Ami Uzumaki-Namikaze, my boyfriend is Kiba Inuzuka, my brother is Naruto Uzumaki, my teacher is the Raikage of the Hidden Cloud, uh, lets see, I like Icha Icha Paradise, Coco is my dog here, I'm a Foster Mom for Puppies, I dislike mornings and the cold, my hobbies are relaxing, helping Hana in the veterinary Clinic, I'm a Vet in Training still, I like relaxing with Kiba, Akamaru and Coco, I hate Mondays, my dream for the future is to have a family, a son and a daughter, lets see, have I left anything out, I don't believe so, oh, I also helped create the Hidden Silence Village." I say and the three look at me confused.
"You had to make that confusing, didn't you?"
I look in the window to see Kiba there. "That's how I live as a Shinobi, I'm always confusing anyways, except you somehow figure me out." I say to Kiba and the girl on my team blushes slightly at Kiba.
"Ma wants us to grab stuff for dinner, she wants you to cook tonight." Kiba says to me.
"Shouldn't you be training with Shino, or are you hiding because you accidentally stepped on one of his bugs again?" I ask him.
"Wow, can't I visit my girlfriend?" Kiba asks although I see a swarm of bugs around him and I snicker.
"Yes, but, you might want to run, I'd day Shino caught up to you." I say and Kiba dashes through the classroom and the prank hits him and I continue to snicker.
"Ami, where did Kiba go?" Shino asks me and I point to the flung open door and he nods and runs after him while I snicker.
"Is this normal?" One of the boys ask me.
I nod. "Pretty much, its funny though." I say and I point to the girl. "You first." I say and she looks at me.
"My name is Lilac Hyuga, I'd like to refrain from talking about myself any further, if that's aloud." She says with a small bow.
I smile at her. "So long as I know your name, I'll be perfectly fine." I say and I point to one of the boys.
"My name is Jake Hyuga, I'm Lilac's twin brother, I will also refrain from talking any further." He says to me.
Twins, both have brown hair, they look like they have the Byakugan, both have similar features, and a similar clothing style, damn, this is gonna be hard.
I look at the twins with a calm gaze as I study them before I sigh. "Damn, this is gonna be a lot of work, I'm gonna have less time to relax now, such a shame, anyways, you." I say as I point to the last one.
He reminds me of Kakashi, he's got a mask on that's covering half his face and he's got black shaggy hair and dark eyes with a ANBU style shirt and pants, my eyes set on him in a calm look.
"My name is none of your business." He says to me and my eye twitches while the Hyuga look at him shocked, I take a deep breath and I rest my gaze on him again, analyzing him. "What are you doing?" He asks annoyed.
"Your too much like someone WHO ALWAYS INTERFIERED WITH MY MISSIONS!" I yell the last part, slightly annoyed, if you couldn't tell and the Hyuga's look at me shocked. "Damn that Kakashi, he knew this would happen, he just loves to interfere with everything, doesn't he." I say as I scowl up at the ceiling. "That little bastard." I say and Coco barks in laughter. I revert back to my calm self. "Look mini Kakashi, I need your name, or I'm going to look at your file, well, I already was gonna do that, but its best we get properly acquainted." I say to him and the boy scowls at me.
"I don't have to tell you anything." The brat says to me.
I appear behind him in a flash and I hold him in a choke hold while Coco sits on the desk. "Don't test my patience, I'm half Uzumaki and I live in the Inuzuka Compound and my boyfriends temper is rubbing off on me, not like I didn't already have a bad one, but that isn't the point." I say and the boy scowls up at me while I stare calmly down at him.
"Fine, my name is Haru Nara." He says to me and I release him and I appear back in front of the desk.
"Good, be at training ground 1 at 8 am. Don't bother being late, there's no excuse I haven't heard, and if you are late, that's 100 laps around Konoha." I say to them with a calm gaze and I grab Coco and I walk out the door.
I walk to the market and I grab stuff I'm gonna need for dinner, once I'm gone I walk back home and to the main house.
"Mind if I watch the way you cook?" Tsume asks me.
I smile at her. "That's fine, just don't breath down my neck while I'm cooking, my ADHD already doesn't help when I'm trying to focus." I say to her and she nods slightly and I feel some shock coming off her, I'm guessing she didn't know about my ADHD.
I put Coco in the backyard with the other dogs and I tie my hair up as I walk back to the kitchen. I put the potatoes off to the side and I pull out a cutting board and a peeler along with a cutting knife. I peel and wash the potatoes and then I cut them into smaller sizes and then I put them in a pot with water and I let them boil.
I get out the carrots, celery, onions and garlic and I chop them up and set them aside.
"Hey, what are you making?" Tsume asks me.
"Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes and a another side dish that I'm still thinking about." I say to her.
"Any desert?" Tsume asks me.
I nod. "Pie." I say and she nods.
I get the ground chuck and the sauce done, I beat the egg and I get out the salt and pepper and I do that part, along with the brown sugar and olive oil, purposely leaving the spicy stuff out.
"Doesn't meatloaf require peppers?" Tsume asks me.
"Not really, I don't put the spicy stuff in since I can't handle it, but it still turns out really good. My food could beat a 5-Star Chefs fancy food, any day, mainly because my food has flavor and you get a portion that fills you, not lets you continue to starve, I still don't understand why rich people like that food, I was forced to eat it a few times, it's got no flavor, it's not even enough to fill a black pit like Kiba or me in some cases. What's your opinion Tsume?" I ask her as I work.
"I've never had it." Tsume replies.
"Your taste buds will thank you if you never eat that crap." I say and she laughs at my opinion. I check the potatoes and they aren't done, I put the meatloaf in the over and I set the timer. "Hmm." I look through the stuff I got and I toss the gravy package on the counter for later and I find the sweet potatoes and the squash I bought.
I take the skins off the sweet potatoes and I mash them in a bowl, I add brown sugar and a lot of maple syrup that I bought, I mix it all together and it gets darker.
"You seem to have fun when your cooking, that was a lot of syrup." Tsume says to me a bit skeptical of my cooking method.
"This is the one decent thing Uncle could make when I was a kid, this is the best way to eat sweet potatoes." I say to her with a smile and I check the mashed potatoes real quick and then I cut the squash and I take the seeds out. I cut off the skin and I mash the squash and I put some butter on it before I heat both the mashed sweet potatoes and the squash. I make the gravy in a small pot and then the mashed potatoes finish and I put them in a bowl and stir them while I add salt to them.
"Mashed Potatoes?" Tsume asks confused.
The meatloaf finishes and I pull it out and I cut the meatloaf in half and I put ketchup on the top and I set it aside along with the mashed potatoes and gravy. The squash and sweet potatoes finish heating and I set them aside and I set the table.
"Done." I say as I put the stuff in the dinning room on the table.
"KIBA, HANA, DINNERS DONE!" Tsume yells and they walk in and I see them look at the stuff and they sit immediately at their seats. "It smells good Ami, I hope its as good as it tastes." Tsume says as she sits down.
I sit in my seat next to Kiba and I smile at her. "I survived 15 years on my own cooking, I believe its good." I say to her and we dig in.
"I don't taste peppers in the meatloaf, but its still really good. Who knew it would still taste good with out anything spicy." Hana says shocked.
"I can't handle spicy food or anything spicy for that matter, so, I managed to adapt that into my cooking and made anything that had some spicy stuff in it, taste good with it." I say with a smile and Kiba just eats like there's no tomorrow while I sweat drop. "That's it, I'm calling Kiba an endless black pit, he inhaled that food." I say and Tsume and Hana laugh. I eat like a normal person, unlike Kiba who looks like a wolf ravaging a freshly killed animal.
Once we're done with the main food I get up and bring the pie in that I made sometime in between everything else. "Kiba, hands off until everyone gets a slice." I say and he nods and me, Tsume and Hana each get a good sliced piece and Kiba gets one too, we eat the pie and then I wash the dishes and I put everything away and leftovers in the fridge.
"That was good." Tsume says to me. "Your responsible Ami."
"I've been responsible of myself since I was a kid, Uncle was the Raikage and Uncle B was to always be at Uncle's side as protection, Darui and C were on missions, so, it's not a surprise that I'm responsible for myself and my actions." I say and Tsume nods. I walk towards the door of the house. "I'm heading back to mine and Kiba's house, I'm tired and I have a long day tomorrow." I say and Kiba gets up and follows me after I get Coco and Akamaru.
"Alright." Hana says with a smile and me and Kiba walk to our house and I fall asleep next to Kiba on the bed, just dead tired.
