Daughter of the Copy Cat, Rescuer of the Raven Chapter 7

I hummed happily as I strolled down the street with Rina, she pursed her lips,

“I still don’t believe your excuse for last night.” She murmured. I grinned at the memory,

“I told you, I wanted to go for a walk.”

“In your pj’s?” I blinked,

“Hai?” She rolled her eyes,

“Whatever, but I really don’t wanna leave this place.” Rina complained as the large gate appeared. I turned to Rina,

“You have to go back Rina. This was all just training, you have a boyfriend to get home to too.” She looked at the ground and made a sound of displeasure. She obviously didn’t want to leave but she wanted to see her boyfriend too,

“Fine.” She said at last, “I’ll go back. But the first chance I get I’m coming back here to train and see you.” I smiled at her,

“Deal.”

When we reached the gate, Rina turned to me and held out her hand,

“Ja ne Ayame-chan.” I let my hand grip hers. My vision flashed and both of our hands became gloved, snow was blowing everywhere and the village gate was missing. I looked up and saw the younger version of Rina,

It’s like the time where I left for the leaf village.

I thoughts. I smiled slightly,

“Ja ne Riri-chan.” She abruptly sprang forward and pulled me into a tight embrace. My vision flashed again and I was back in the present,

“If you ever need me just send me a message and I’ll come straight here, whether I’m allowed too or not. And my house will always have room for you.” Rina whispered to me, I hugged her back shyly,

“Riri-chan, come on, it’s not like your abandoning me in the desert.” Rina chuckled and let go. She immediately scratched the back of her head in embarrassment,

“G-Gomen. It’s just, well, I’m going to miss you. You’re like the sister I always wanted.” I laughed,

“Well then that makes me feel loved.” Rina gave me the thumbs up,

“It should.” I sighed,

“You’re stalling, you need to go now, besides, I have a mission I need to do.” Rina pursed her lips,

“Fine fine, Ja ne Ayame-chan!” She turned around, and in an instant, she was gone. I sighed and also turned around. And in an instant, I, too, was gone.

“Where were you?” Sakura asked as I approached the group. I grinned at her from beneath my mask,

“You know, a poor baby dolphin needed my help. So I helped that poor dolphin, then it insisted that I would be treated to brunch. So, not wanting to offend the poor fellow, I agreed-“

“Ok ok.” Kakashi interrupted. Sakura had an amused smirk on her face while Naruto was on the ground in stitches, “You getting more and more like me by the day.” Kakashi continued while sweat dropping. Sai kept his emotionless façade on but I just ignored him,

“Gomen, what are we doing today?” I asked,

“Today, we train.” I blinked,

“That’s all?” Everyone stared at me,

“What do you mean ‘that’s all’?” Naruto asked, I shrugged,

“I just thought that we’d have a mission or something.” Naruto grinned at me,
