9 Anko and Kurenai go for shopping!

Kazutora, who had gone to sleep, woke up a few minutes later with an annoyed look on his face.

He didn't expect that the normal nap would change to a power nap, and now, no matter how he tried, he couldn't sleep.

"Tsk! Damn Anko," Kazutora cursed while rubbing his eyes and he got up from the bed. In the past life, he loved to sleep and even now, for Kazutora, the best thing in life is sleeping on a soft and comfy bed peacefully.

After he put the quilt on the rack, Kazutora walked towards the door and opened it. His eyes fell on the girl in front of him moping on the ground, and Kazutora saw Anko looking at him with a sparkle in her eyes.

"Hey, little boy! Do you need another big sister?"

Kazutora's eye twitched at Anko's words and he controlled the urge to shout and complain to Kurenai.

Then he shook his head and wondered why he was acting like a kid complaining to his 'mother' about the 'mischievous aunt'.

'Oh! I am a kid now, but why does it feel so wrong?'

Anko looked at Kazutora shaking his head, and a look of regret appeared on her face. Just as she could speak more, she saw Kazutora walking away while yawning and he went to the room beside Kurenai's room.

Anko, who felt like she was ignored, raised her brows and a frown appeared on her face.

"This little kid, not cute at all," She murmured while thinking of something and then an idea appeared in her mind.

But she was destined to fail because of the 'mother hen' looking at her, and Kurenai, who had scene had an irked look on her face.

Being friends with Anko for years, she could read her facial expression, and Kurenai understood that Anko was making a weird plan.

"What are you thinking?" Anko heard Kurenai's voice in her ears and she was jolted out of her thoughts.

"I, It's nothing!" Anko said and then they heard the sound of the door opening. Kazutora, who opened the door saw Kurenai and Anko side by side, and he looked at Kurenai.

"Good morning, Big sister!" He said towards Kurenai, and Anko saw Kurenai's expression melting at his words.

"Good morning, Kazu! Go and fresh yourself. The breakfast will be prepared by then. After that, I will introduce you to her. What do you think, Anko?" Kurenai said while putting a hand on Anko's shoulder and her words made Anko nod.

Kazutora nodded at her words and he also greeted Anko. Anko, who came to her senses greeted Kazutora back, and he went to the bathroom to refresh himself.

"So his name is Kazu," Anko muttered and Kurenai shook her head.

"It's Kazutora, I call him Kazu."

"Hmm, Kazu! I got it."

Kurenai deadpan at Anko and saw her laughing with a smirk on her face.

"Anko, are you forgetting what you said? Kazu is a cute, obedient, lovely and polite kid. I don't want him to become a loud, stubborn, and prone to acting without thinking kid."

Anko showed a look of annoyance at Kurenai's words and she tried to deny the words but she couldn't. Seeing her like this, Kurenai snickered at her and she said, "It's good that you are self-aware! Besides, no licking your lips every time."

"Okay," Anko muttered, too shocked at the realisation and she saw Kurenai away while chuckling at her.

'Damn, Kurenai! Just wait, when you are on a mission, I will prepare a big surprise for you.'

Anko thought about the matter, and an idea formed in her mind. She decided to lay low for now, and in future, she will give Kurenai a big surprise.

Time passed by and after Kazutora came out of bed, he went to the dining room and saw Anko and Kurenai sitting on the chair with breakfast on the table.

"Did you sleep well?" Kurenai asked as she looked at Kazutora sitting beside her, and she glanced at Anko for a second. Seeing no change in her expression, Kurenai felt that something was wrong, but she just shelved the matter and thought it was her overthinking.

"Umm! I slept well," Kazutora nodded at her words and then he looked at Anko who was staring at him. He tilted his head and then looked at Kurenai with a curious look on her face, and Kurenai nodded at him.

"She is the one I talked about. When I am not on the mission, if you need any help, you can look for her. Her name is Anko Mitarashi, and she is a genin."

"I am going to be Chunin in the next exam," Anko retorted Kurenai's words but Kurenai paid no attention.

"Also, if she teaches you something, don't learn from her. Consult me first and if I am not here, then you don't need to learn. Just read the books and wait for me."

"Oye!" Anko exclaimed at Kurenai's words and when she saw Kazutora nodding at her words, she froze. Her idea of giving Kurenai a big surprise seems to be disappearing, and Anko pouted at Kurenai and Kazutora.

"Hello, Miss Anko, I am Kazutora. Please take care of me from now on."

"Hmm? M-Miss? That's nonsense! Just call me big sister or sister." Anko said, and Kurenai raised her brows at her words.

'Why does she want to become sister too? Is there something I am missing here?' Kazutora thought, and then he shelved the thoughts under women's antics.

"Then, I will just call you Sister," Kazutora said after thinking for a moment and saw Anko smiling at her words.

"Hehe, good little brother!" Anko said with a mischievous laugh and she moved from her seat. Before, she was sitting in front of Kurenai, and now she sat beside Kazutora and started to rub his cheeks.

"Hmm! So soft, I was really missing these." Anko said with a weird expression on her face, and Kazutora classified her as a female hooligan.

He tried to remove her hand, but he found out that her grip was stronger than his.

In the end, he could look at Kurenai with a pleading look in his eyes, and Kurenai moved Anko away from him.

'So dangerous, it seems I need to increase my strength not to get 'molested' like this again.' Kazutora thought in his mind and he shuddered at the thought of getting rubbed every day.

He looked at Kurenai lecturing Anko, but he saw no sense of remorse on Anko's face. Instead, he could see her glancing at him from time to time, and Kazutora decided to keep his distance from her.

After eating breakfast together, Kurenai went to do the dishes, leaving Anko and Kazutora on the table. Before Anko could say anything, Kazutora moved away from her, and he ran away to his room.

Seeing him leaving like this, Anko laughed as she found his antics good. If she hadn't let him go, Kazutora won't be able to escape from her.

Appearing back in the room, Kazutora looked at his red cheeks in the mirror. A frown appeared on his face and rubbing his head, Kazutora thought, 'That was dangerous! It was like she was staring at me as prey! Hmm, As expected of Aunt Snake's disciple.'

Kazutora rubbed his cheeks and then he picked the books on the table. Looking at the Substitution technique, he started to read the book and understand the principles first.

Outside in the kitchen, Anko looked at Kurenai, who had a thoughtful look on her face. She had asked her if she wanted to walk around the village, and now Anko was waiting for her answer.

"Don't you have training for the next exam?"

"No, the teacher has given me a holiday and I want to eat around the village," Anko said while shaking her head. Kurenai looked at her for a moment and she said, "Well, then you will go with me. I have some things I need to buy, and you can also eat in between."

"Hmm, what about him?" Anko asked pointing in the direction of Kazutora's room and Kureai looked at her with her eyes narrowed.

"What is it?" She asked, and Anko grinned at her.

"Take him out too. The damage to the village has been repaired and it will be a good thing to walk around."

Anko said, and Kurenai looked at her with no expression on her face. Seeing her like this, Anko understood that Kurenai had denied the idea and she shook her head.

"Then, it will be two us."

Kurenai nodded at her words and she wiped her hands on the towel. She arrived at the Kazutora's room and knocked at the door.

"You can come in."

Kurenai opened her mouth and saw Kazutora holding a book in her hand. With a smile on her face, she said, "I and Anko will be going out to buy a few things. We will be back in a few hours, so I want to ask if you want to come with us?"

Kazutora looked at Kurenai for a moment and he shook his head. Seeing this, Kurenai nodded and she understood that he hadn't come out of trauma.

"Hmm, it's okay! Also, do you need me to buy anything for you?" Kurenai asked remembering something, and Kazutora started to think.

"Yeah, I want to calligraphy so, can you buy the materials regarding it?" Kazutora asked and Kurenai beamed a smile at his words. She nodded at him, and seeing this, Kazutora thanked Kurenai.

Kazutora saw Kurenai closing the door, and before the door closed, he saw a hint of pity in her eyes which made him confused.

'I feel that she has misunderstood something.'

Kazutora didn't know that when he denied the matter, Kurenai felt like he still was worried about the matter from before, and he didn't want to leave the house because of that incident.

But she didn't know that Kazutora didn't want to leave because it was a troublesome matter, and the fact that Anko was going with her.
