Minako is a calm, cool and collective type of person, but get her mad and it's all over. She does anything for her friends and fellow shinobi, whether they know it or not. But most of the time they don't even acknowledge her, but she's fine with it...
I enter through the Old Man's window, already knowing what he wants. He opens his mouth to speak, but I place two scrolls on his desk, effectively cutting him off.
"One is my mission report and the other is a personal account." I turn away before he can see my red eyes. I run to my house and enter through my window as always. I then, take a shower and put on my pajamas: an orange shirt with blue shorts and orange slippers. After that, I put on my apron and go into the kitchen to cook dinner.
Naruto's P.O.V
I barge into the Old Man's office with a grin on my face, as usual. "Oi! I just get home and you wanna lecture me! What's up with that? Believe it!" I put on a scowl for show.
"Naruto, sit down." I sit down quickly, hearing the edge in his voice, "It's about Minako."
"What happened?! Is-"
"She's fine," He cuts me off quickly. Rude. "But her mission was far worse than yours. Her sensei betrayed her and she almost lost her teammates." I choke on my spit. Wh-What? "I told you this so you don't offend her in any way. Understand?"
"H-Hai." I stand and leave in a slight daze. I hope Hime-chan is okay. What exactly did she see? Is she hurt in any way? What if she's home crying right now? I have to get home quickly.
I pick up my pace.
I'm coming Hime-chan!
"Hn, Dobe!" I hear someone call to me. "What's wrong, you don't think." Ah.. its Sasuke.
"N-Nothing." Damn it! I stuttered. He'll know something is up.. I shrug it off and keep my brisk pace, not looking at him once.
I turn the corner and see the apartment up ahead. Finally!
I walk into the house only to see Hime-chan cooking. She picked up a pot and sees me. She smiles my favorite smile. She's okay.. I can't help but smile back widely.

"Hey, Baka-chan." She greets. "I made ramen, rice and curry~!" She sings as she puts the pot down. "I hope your mission went well."
"It was awesome!" I play with my forehead protector, a feeling of nostalgia washing over me.
Is this what is feels like to have a mom? This warm feeling? Coming home to a home-cooked meal after a long mission? To have a warm smile directed towards you as you walk in? I often wondered this, but today it was much stronger.
"Take off you're shoes and sit. Tell me all about you're mission and in return I'll tell you about mine." I nod and do as she says as she serves the food.
"It was awesome, Believe it!" I sit down. "Okay, so when we first left two ninjas sprung out from a puddle....."
~~~~That Night~~~~
My thought wondered to what Hime-chan had told me.
"Once I saw their half dead bodies, I lost it. My hair whipped around and apparently my eyes were glowing! I felt like I was watching a horror film that I couldn't turn away from.. I-I never want that to happen again...."
Can someone tell me why it's always us? Why it's always her?
