6 : Training

I walked around the village try to think something to do.

Since I don't qualify as a ninja because my lack of chakra and I don't have stamina like Rock Lee, I was thinking about having a part time job.

" Yo! " greet Hiro.

Ah this cute boy is anywhere. 

" Hi. What are you doing ? "

" I'm looking for a job. What about you? "

"Stalking you," he said with a grin cause my face to heat up.

I never had a boy who are sweet talking to me, so yeah.

" Midori-chan! "

I walked faster leaving him alone as he shout, "Wait up," me smile like an idiot because happy to have him as a company.

" How old are you Midori-chan? "

"I'm 16 turning to 17 by ..."

Wait what month is this?

"I'm 16," I said again conforming my own age because I supposed to turned 17, by two weeks from the day I last met sensei.

"Hey, I'm 17. Well that make us friends."

I laugh at his friendly vibe and we talked bout random things mostly about his life and about his friend.

"You said that you saw people's past and future. "

I sweat dropped. If this boy ask me about his past, I don't know what to said.

"Well," he scratched his neck. "Do you see mine? "

"I..." I hate to lie my first friend but I have to.

"Only certain people. I don't see yours."

It's half lie half truth. Not bad.

"Oh." He stare the ground feeling all gloomy.

" Well, it's a good thing to see someone future but seeing someone past is just... "

" I feel like invading their privacy. "

Not Kakashi's one, though.

"I can almost feel their sorrow and suffering and I hurt, you know. "

This is the truth.

"And I'm weak so I can't change someone's death even if I want to. But the good thing is I can learn about them and know them before even I get to talk to them. "

"Like Kakashi-san ? "

Hah!? It's obvious?

"Ye-yeah. Someone like him," I sweatdropped.

"You like him?" He raise his brow with a smirk.

And I feel embarrassed because I was that obvious.

"I-I don't like Kakashi. What are you talking about? He's great and all and he's hot to but I don't —"

He let a big laugh and I feel heat over my face which is hotter that before.

Great.

"I don't remember saying it's Kakashi-san."

Then, it struck me that Hiro just want to tease me.

"Shut up. " I said to covered my embarrassment yet it didn't matter as it was the same as ever.

I left him laughing to his hardest and after he's done I asked him, "Is it obvious? " which lead him to another laugh.

Great. I'm a clown now. Laugh people laugh.

"Not really. But I noticed you bite your lips everytime he's around. "

"Maybe I'm afraid of him," I shrugged.

"I thought that so but come on Kakashi-san isn't a bad guy unless you are our enemy. "

"Right." I rolled my eye.

" Don't tell others about it," I mumbled at him enough for him to heard me.

And a smirk appeared on his face. "What will you do to stop me? "

"You threatening me?" I gasped. I can't believe people still use this to threaten someone.

It's lame.

"Let's just say that. "

" Ow. Come on," I pouted to him, not that he bother at all. 

Or so I thought.

He avert his blue eye but I catch a glimpse of red blush on his cheek.

"Then, how about I train you? "

"You want me to trained under you?" I was shocked someone would willing to teach me despite me being weak.

"Yup."

I lit up as I heard this, jumping up and down feeling idiotly happy.

"Well, then. Come over to my house for dinner. "

" Fine by me," he showed his cute big grinned to me and I do the same.

We walked together to my apartment and have dinner along with chatter fill in the area.

--------------------------------------------------------

It took two days for me to wander around the village looking for a job and I got to work in the bakery.

Yay, Me!

Baking is my ability, not all of my friends knew this. I've never show my talent to others so I was so excited when I got the job.

I woke up in 4 to prepare for my training. Training supposed to be in 5 but Hiro's choose a spot was quite far. He implied, it was good for warm up and build our stamina in the morning.

Talk about training, it was really hard.

Hiro didn't take easy on me and he push me hard enough.

" Come on, Midori-chan. I only asked for 100 push up and you can't do that? "

I was sweating and my arm feel numb as I keep on counting, "Thirty two."

The sun rise up and I stopped as it's time for bakery.

" Alright, we stopped here. As for your punishment, I'll have you chase me until we reach bakery. "

" Wha-what? " I said with puff as I short of breath.

I was in the forest a bit far from Konoha and run from here to the bakery after hard warm up— he implied which was really insane.

" You heard what I said. Now chase me! "

I make are-you-crazy look but chase him anyway.

It was not fair, because he's a ninja can jump and doing flip as I about to grab him, but zero result. I barely touch him as we reached to bakery.

He ruffled my hair as I take a breath with hands on my knees. I try to catch his hand.

"Opss, nice try," his remove his hand faster before I could've catch him.

" You're cruel." 

"Haha. I'm not. Well better try again tomorrow. "

I pull out my tongue, which it was fun doing it to Hiro even though I had never done it to my other boy friends.

Hiro grinned to me showing his white shining teeth as the sun illuminated it.

I think my eye hurt. Kidding.

I entered after I bid him goodbye, as I opened the door Yagisa-san, the owner was sanding in front of me.

"You're late." My owner narrowed his eye below as he looked into eye.

Scaryyyyy

I should use Kakashi's excuse.

...

I take it back. It's not the time.

"Sorry Yagisa-san. I train and forgot the time. "

He looked through me to see whether I lie or not before he sighed.

"Fine. Now go take a shower. You smell like a reek."

I sweatdropped as I smell myself.

Haha. He's right.

"Hiyoko," Yagisa-san called her wife.

"Yes, honey," Hiyoko appeared from the kitchen wearing apron with some flour on her.

"Bring this girl to shower. I don't want my costumer ran away because of her smell."

Hiyoko laugh as I pouted.

I mean I don't smell that bad. It's just a sweat.

Hiyoko lead me to the shower which was in the second floor and gave me her clothes which fit in me perfectly.

" Thanks, Hiyoko-san. "

"No worries. Now don't need so formal to me. Just call me Hiyoko. "

"Hai. "

The bakery closed around 7 and I went bed early than I thought, skipped the dinner as my energy drain for the whole day.
