"Kaa-chan! Kaa-chan!" Naruto shouted as he rushed inside, closing the door with a little more force than necessary. "Guess what, guess what!"
"What?" I asked, smiling in amusement as Naruto hurried towards me, tackling into me on the couch. I patted his head, looking up when I saw the door open again and Sasuke entering. He spared me a look before shrugging, taking off his shoes and heading towards the fridge.
"We're going on a C-Rank! We're going on a C-Rank!" Naruto sang.
My heart faltered.
In a small voice, I squeaked, "Oh, really? Where to?"
"Wave," Sasuke grunted, pulling out a bag of tomatoes.
It took my entire willpower not to whimper and grab both of the boys and squeeze the ever living life outta them. I settled for wrapping my arms around Naruto and squeezing the ever loving life outta him. Naruto gave a grunt of protest, but otherwise allowed me to continue squeezing him.
"R-Really? So soon? I mean, haven't you guys only been Genin for a month?" I asked, trying to squash down the rising sense of panic.
"So?" Sasuke retorted, moving towards the couch and taking a seat next to me.
Unable to come up with any comeback due to my flustered state, I settled for grabbing Sasuke and starting to squeeze him too. Sasuke struggled halfheartedly against my grip, but decided it wasn't worth it and sagged in defeat.
"Where's Sakura?"
"We're not selling her out so you can squeeze the hell outta her," Naruto muttered.
"Damn it."
"Aren't you happy for us, Kaa-chan?" Naruto asked, turning his big blue eyes on me. I winced, feeling more than a little guilty for my actions earlier. The brat knew how to guilt-trip me like no tomorrow.
"Of course I am, sweetie. I'm just worried," I said slowly, releasing the two boys.
"Don't be," Sasuke snorted, moving away from me.
"When are you leaving?"
"This afternoon."
I didn't bother restraining my whimper.
Sasuke and Naruto exchanged glances before both boys sighed and patted my head.
"We'll be fine," Naruto said.
"So don't have a panic attack," Sasuke added.
"Lock the door behind us."
"Don't talk to strangers."
"Look both ways before crossing the street."
"Don't leave the oven on."
"Make sure to get plenty of rest—don't stay up too late."
"Eat healthy. Don't forget to train."
"And whatever you do-"
"-Under no circumstances,"
