Ryuumaru Visits the Haruno's

"This One is glad too. This Ryuumaru just hopes your mother doesn't hate me for being Orochimaru's son" he said as he bit his lower lip nervously.

She shook her head.
"Don't worry about it. She was just surprised, most likely,"

"OK then, This One hopes your right" he said with a nervous smile on his face.

"If she does dislike you for some reason, i'll reason with her,"
She smiled.
"Youre not your father,"

"This One is glad you think so. Only a few people in the Leaf know who my father is" he said with a relieved smile.

"I couldnt care less. I care about you, not your dad,"
She reassured him.
"I'll make sure thats what my mom and Akira think too,"

"Thank you Sakura-Chan. That really makes me feel better" he said as he gave her a peck on the lips.

Her eyes widened a little before she smiled faintly. She tried to hide her extremely flushed cheeks but failed miserably.
"Y-You're welcome, R-Ryuumaru-Kun,"

He chuckled a bit. "Your so cute when you blush" he said with a smile.

"C-Cute? Really?"
She blinked in suprise, but still didnt quite manage to get rid of her blush.

"Yes" he said with a chuckle.

"T-Thank you, Ryuumaru-Kun.."
She murmured, her cheeks finally returning to their original color slowly.

"Your welcome Cherry Blossom" he said with a smile.

She smiled back, opening her mouth to speak again when Akira reappeared. Sakura looked a little disappointed but said nothing.
"Just here to get the glasses," Akira assured them, already knowing what her sister was thinking.

"So Akira, what are you skilled in?" Ryuumaru asked her with a raised eyebrow.

"Hm? Oh, mostly ninjutsu, although im not too shabby with weaponary either," She smiled. "Me and Sakura have a bet going that she'll surpass me within the next few years,"

"Is that so? I'm better at Taijutsu though This One believes he is extremely tough to fight with a bow staff" he said with a smile.

"I'm mostly comfortable with senbon needles and sais. Sais are my weapon of choice though," She grinnned. "We need to spar sometime. I wanna see how i do against you," She looked at Sakura. "What are your specialties again, Sis?"
Sakura paused. "Uhm...T-Taijutsu...And i'm learning medical ninjutsu..."

"That we do. What do you say to a quick spar right now?" he asked her with an eager grin as he tucked a strand of hair behind his pointy, elf like ear.

Akira grinned widely and nodded. "Sure, sounds like fun," She went over to a cabinet and opened it up, taking out a pair of very elegant looking sais. She twirled them in her fingertips, heading for the door. "C'mon you two,"

Ryuumaru smirked and stood up, taking a small, silver pole out of his kunai pouch. He then held a hand out to Sakura to help her up.

Sakura took his hand and got up, looking at the silver pole curiously.
"Nee-Chan will probably be at the training area. She knows its only for genin but she spends her time there when its not being used,"

"Right" he said as he lead her out of the house and pressed a button on the pole, extending it out into a long bow staff.

Her curiousity grew as she looked at him, then his weapon.
I wonder how he'll fare against nee-chan...

As soon as they reached the training field, Ryuumaru stood across from Akira and got into an unfamiliar fighting stance.
