Chapter 134 - Ch134. A stray cat
Rei looked at the sheepish i and the quiet shy-looking quivering blond girl she dragged into his dinsion.
"Care to run that by again, i?" He asked, blankly blinking at his second apprentice slash soon-to-be-lover slash current pain in the ass.
"Uh... you see, Yugito needed ho and I thought... you know." i briefly glanced at Rei's face, noticing his unreadable expression, and lowered her head again.
"So... you basically stole a jinchuuriki from Kumo." Konan pointed with an amused tone.
Yugito suddenly found herself staring at the floor while fidgeting. She knew taking i's offer is basically treason which is certain death. She also knew that despite it looking like she was kidnapped, the Kumo Council would just spin their usual bullshit and put the bla on her. Not to kill her, but to gain even more hold of her. She hated them to her core. But... she didn't want to inconvenience i, one of the very few people who were nice to her.
Sure, Killer B was nice to her and tried to look out for her but he was always away, fighting on the front lines. A, B's surrogate brother, was also trying to be nice to her but Yugito knew it was more because of B rather than out of his own volition. She was not that close to either of them and that's why she accepted i's proposal. There was just nobody genuinely waiting for her in Kumo.
"Hey! Rei wanted a sample of her chakra. Now, here she is," i gestured to Yugito who looked between her and Rei in complete shock. "I would say I fulfilled the mission requirent better than anyone!" i gave Konan a defiant stare.
"And by doing that you most likely utterly pissed the Raikage off. Please, at least tell you didn't leave the mark behind." Rei asked hopefully.
"Uh... no? I made sure to mark the entire training ground with the 'Yozora was here' mark." i tilted her head confusingly, causing Rei to facepalm. "You know what?" He drawled tiredly, "F.u.c.k the Raikage. Anyway," He turned towards the fearful Yugito, "welco to our ho." He smiled ruffling the girl's hair which made her flinch and Konan and Rei suddenly understood why exactly i dragged Yugito back with her.
'I guess a sudden contact with a man will be a bit too much for her in the following weeks. It will take a bit to get the ntal trauma out of her.' Rei turned towards i. "Since you brought in the stray cat, you will feed, bathe, and train her." He told her jokingly, making Konan snicker while i looked as if she just ate a lemon. She didn't consider who would take care of Yugito. She definitely didn't think it would be her... "Consider her your pet and your first apprentice." Rei quipped and turned around to leave i's room alongside Konan who was mirthfully snickering at i's predicant.
The two left and the room descended to complete awkward silence.
"Uh... am I a bother?" Yugito asked unsurely only for i to drop back onto her bed and bounce up and down for a bit with an audible groan.
"No..." i answered with a pout. "I have no clue how you interpreted that but if you were a bother Rei would have thrown you out, no questions asked. That was basically him allowing you to stay here. I just..." i grew silent only to let out a frustrated yell and started flailing her arms in the air, startling Yugito for a mont. Her frustration finally dropping, i cald down and continued, breathing a bit harder than usual, "I am just angry at myself for not considering who would take care of you. I could have pinned you on Konan if I did." i sullenly said.
'So I am a bother...' Yugito sweatdropped while also feeling a sinking feeling in her stomach as sadness overca her. 'Even here nobody wants .' She bit her lower lip.
"It would have been infinitely better for you," i continued a bit miffed at saying that, causing Yugito to stop her self-pitying and snap her gaze back to i who still laid on her bed. "Konan trained , Konan trained Ringo, Konan trained Tsun... ahem," i coughed, "my second sister Tsu. Only Tsu can match Konan when it cos to the won here and even that is only when Konan is not using so of her Jutsu. Being in Konan's care would give you the best training available. That's why I wanted to pin you on her." i explained and Yugito's heart ward as her eyes widened at being told i thought about what would be best for her.
"This Konan... is she... Konan of Kiri?" Yugito asked unsurely. The woman looked around eighteen at best and definitely didn't seem to be sobody who tore Kumo fleet to shreds by herself, brutally killing thousands in the process. Nor did she look like soone whose specialty was drowning people alongside their own castles.
"Yes... she is the strongest one of us won here." i huffed.
"But I thought you gained your SS-rank sooner?" Yugito tilted her head. i's story about how she decimated the Iwa army of ten thousand rcenaries and over five hundred ninjas was legendary. Sure, many versions were outright retarded but still! i's fa was a big factor in why Yugito took the offer of protection.

"And who do you think trained , duh..." i rolled her eyes, causing Yugito to avert her eyes in sha but for the first ti since she entered Rei's dinsion, a small smile appeared on her lips. "Konan can be a bitch sotis. Especially during training. I might want to one-up her to satisfy my vindictive pettiness," i acknowledged that very easily, too easily in Yugito's opinion, "but I look up to her, you know? She is like a mother I never had to ." i quietly added with a nostalgic smile.
Yugito didn't know what to do in this emotional situation and did the only thing she knew would calm her if she was distraught. She unsurely walked towards i, dragging herself above her on all four as the girl still laid on her bed, and then Yugito suddenly hugged the surprised i whose arms sn.a.k.e.d around Yugito's torso, both enjoying the comforting feeling of their embrace.
"Ne~... wanna be friends, Yu-chan?" i suddenly said, causing Yugito to frown at her new nickna.
"Hm." Yugito made what she later deed to be at the sa ti the best and the worst mistake in her life... she agreed.
"Good! That ans I will have to train you so I won't be embarrassed by your strength! I wonder if Ringo would like a sparring partner..."
The poor stray cat had no idea what was in store for her in the future.
