Nero's Training??

[Kuzio]

Cyril gave Kira a death glare and started to walk ot of the training grounds, when Naruto muttered something and Cyril fell over, Naruto laughed a little and Cyril sighed and sat down agains a log.

Naruto looked at Kira and smelled something that smelled like ramen.

Cyril looked over to Ren, "Dont mention it, and what are you sorry for?" he asked her with a questioning look, he was trying to be friendly but it wasnt working out so good or at least that was his opinion.

Naruto laughed a little at Cyril, Clueless isnt he.. he thought smiling a little.

[Kira]

Ren looked at Cyril, peeking through her fingers and mumbled, “Well, it was sorta awkward and stuff, and I’m clumsy, and I...well, I’m just so weird...”
She could almost imagine what Cyril was thinking of her right now. ‘Maybe this is why I’m always acting so stupid, and maybe that’s why I’m the only one who’s always looking for friends and worrying about what people think of me...’ she thought, depressingly.

Kira lifted her head a bit, so she could look at the scene happening before her eyes. ‘This is just like watching a romantic movie...or at least it seems a lot like the first part of that kind of movie...’ she thought, amused.

Suddenly, she felt the urge to take a peek at Naruto. Giving into temptation, she allowed herself to send one quick glance over at Naruto, before quickly turning away. ‘Gah! I’m acting like Ren when she gets a crush!’ she thought, surprised. ‘Wait! Never! I never get crushes!’ she added, arrogantly.

Ren noticed a Kira’s quick glance at Naruto and grinned to herself, knowing how to get payback. ‘Well, if Kira can embarrass me about guys, I can embarrass her!’

She didn’t fully recover from her fall yet, but the thought of being able to embarrass Kira gave her comfort. She was nice, but it was just too hard to resist one of the rare chances she got to embarrass Kira.

Kira seemed to notice that Ren noticed her, and her eyes widened slightly. She mouthed a stream of curses, and started brainstorming a list of ideas to avoid the impending event, only to be interrupted by Ren’s soft voice calling out.

“Say, Kira...aren’t you the one who has a crush on a certain ramen-eating boy? she asked, with a slight smirk, the blush starting to fade from her cheeks.

Kira scowled at Ren and replied, “What are you talking about, Ren? We both know I don’t get crushes, and I think you’re the one who has a crush on your recent savior...’ She emphasized the word ‘savior’, knowing that Cyril didn’t exactly ‘save’ her, but rather, he saved her from getting a bunch of bruises and broken bones.

Ren noticed a look in Kira’s eyes that said she really believed that she would never get a crush. She chuckled a bit, knowing that Kira was fooling herself with thoughts, but the truth was clear...or at least it was pretty clear to her. She knew that the truth would come out soon enough, and there was the fact that this was probably Kira being hard-headed about getting a crush. Ren wanted Kira to realize her feelings on her own and didn’t want to affect what could happen in anyway...well, that and the fact that she wanted to be the ‘mature’ one and stop the fighting.

[Kuzio]

Cyril sighed and narrowed his eyes into a death glare at Kira, Naruto was clueless, "Whos that boy?" he said laughing slightly and nervously.

Cyril wanted to leave really bad but Naruto did something to him, he didnt know what but he could either shock him or make him fall over, he closed his eyes and thought, Being around this girl makes me feel weird..why did i want to save her? this thought ran through his mind.

Naruto looked at Ren with a questioning look, "Whos the boy?" he asked her with puppy pleading eyes very confused still.

[Kira]

Kira felt someone glare at her and already figured it was Cyril. It seemed obvious to her, but she was too exhausted to respond.

When she heard Naruto ask who the boy was, she looked up with wide eyes and shook her head at Ren, mouthing: Don't tell!

Ren let out a laugh before responding, "Isn't it obvious Naruto?" She clearly didn' notice Kira's desperate attempts to beg for her to shut up. "Kira likes you, Naruto!" she said through a few giggles.

Kira threw her hands up in the air and quickly hid her head in between her hands. She could already feel a blush crawling up her cheeks and mumbled a few "colorful" words to herself.

She peeked through her fingers and glared at Ren. She felt like she would die from embarrassment and started thinking of funny things she'd seen, in hopes of turning back to pale-skinned instead of beet red.

Ren stifled her laughter as she caught a glimpse of Kira's extremely red face. "What's wrong? What not show your face Kira?", she asked in a teasing voice.

Kira smirked to herself as she felt the blush disappear from her cheeks.

Luckily, she and Ren were friends, otherwise she would've practically killed Ren by now.

[Kuzio]

Naruto's face went red and for the first time Cyril fell over laughing like mad, Naruto glared at Cyril but made no attempt to hide his face.

Cyril didnt roll around but was on the ground laughing at how red Narutos face was, he quickly sat back up and cleared his throat with a few more laughs getting through then he sighed and layed his head back.

Naruto looked at Cyril akwardly, "..Okay then" he said laughing a bit to himself then looked over To kira slightly and smiled nervously.

Cyril closed his eyes hoping HE wouldnt hear anything that might make him try to kill someone.

[Kira]

Kira noticed Naruto blush and felt her blush return again. 'DAMN YOU, BLUSHING!', she thought, annoyed at her blushing.

She lifted her head and showed a shaky smile to Naruto and hoping to make a joke out of it all, she said, "This is sorta awkward, huh?"

Ren giggled and went into matchmaker mode.

"Well Kira, since you obviously like Naruto so much, why not ask him out?"

Kira felt all the air leave her stomach as she looked at Ren as if she were crazy.

"W-what?", she managed to stutter out.

Ren grinned and repeated, "Why don't you ask Naruto out?"

Kira's eyes widened slightly as she muttered, "I-I don't like him t-that way..."

Ren stifled back a giggle and asked, "Then, why are you blushing?"

Kira smiled and said through gritted teeth, "Drop the subject, Ren..."

She decided to reverse the topic. "Well, Ren, you seem to like-" her words were cut off as a blue-haired blur tackled her and cupped a hand over her mouth.

Ren tackled Kira and covered her mouth, knowing where the short-tempered, dark-haired girl was going with the topic.

"No switching the topic!", she hissed at Kira.

Kira smirked and opened her mouth and licked Ren's hand.

Ren immediately removed her hand and wailed, "EWW!"

She repeatedly wiped her hand on the fabric of her blue jeans, forgetting about Kira spilling her secret.

Kira shoved Ren away from her and started laughing. She wound up lying on her back and staring at the sky.

'The clouds are so peaceful...', she thought, thinking of what shapes each cloud made.

Ren was shoved off and leaned on her elbows and sighed. She was glad that Kira forgot what she would say, but she had a feeling that the guys probably thought they were crazy or something, by now.

[Kuzio]

Cyril grunted as he still had his eyes closed, he opened one eye at hearing what Kira was about to say and Cyril laughed a little as Ren covered her mouth.

Naruto blushed even more but Cyril didnt see him, Naruto laid back against the tree trying to hide the blush in the shade but was unsuccesful in doing so.

Cyril looked at Naruto and snickered slightly and Naruto gave him the evil threatening look, Cyrils eyes widened then he shot Naruto a death glare and Naruto snickered.

[Kira]

Soon enough, Kira fell asleep and looked a lot more peaceful than she did when she was awake.

It was what usually happened when Kira stared at clouds.

Ren smiled gently at Kira's sleeping figure, got up, and started to walk over to Naruto.

She always wondered when Kira would get a crush and now was the time, and she wanted to be a good friend and try to set up Kira with who she liked.

"Hey Naruto!", she started with a smile. She lowered her voice as she asked him, "Do you like Kira?"
By this time, all traces of joking disappeared from her face, and she looked extremely serious. She was always thinking about the topic of 'love' so it was a serious matter to her and it seemed important, to her, that she knew whether Kira had a chance with Naruto or not.

She was glad Kira was sleeping, because that way she could get a serious answer out of Naruto...or at least try to.

[Kuzio]

Naruto blushed even more and slowly nodded, Cyril made bird calls and said, "Loovebirds" and smiled slightly.

Naruto glared at Cyril and blushed even darker at his comment, his face was scarlet red, he wanted to say something but he knew he would get hurt bad.

Cyril looked at Naruto with a warning look and Naruto whistled a little jokingly and looked away his face back to the normal color, then he whispered in Rens ear, "Do you like Cyril?"

Cyril didnt see him whisper because he was looking at an ant that had went in front of him.

[Kira]

Ren looked surprised as she blushed bright red and mumbled, "I think..."

She looked at the ground and mumbled, "Back to the topic of Kira...why not just ask her out? I'm sure she'd say yes..."

Kira suddenly sneezed and woke up. "What the heck? Ren! Are you talking about me again?", she asked wearily.

Ren giggled a bit and replied, "Maybe..."

Kira rolled her eyes and laid down, again. She was too tired to retort, but there were too many emotions crowding her head for her to go back to sleep.

[Kuzio]

Naruto blushed a little, "I cant..not yet" he whispered and laid his head back again, Cyrils head shot up and glared at Naruto and Naruto gave him a real-looking innocent look and Cyril glared at him and stood up and went to go sit near Naruto, not next to him btu close enough to hear him.

Naruto sighed a little and closed his eyes and ran his hands through his hair a little, he scratched at one spot and something fell outof his hair, it was a little device, he looked at Cyril but Cyril was looking at another ant.

[Kira]

Ren smiled gently and whispered, "You can ask her when you're ready."

She found no need to probe any further into what would become of their relationship,but there were also other things on her mind, such as how she felt about Cyril.

She recognized some feelings she'd experienced from previous crushes, but there were also other feelings she felt, that she didn't recognize.

Kira felt like reaching out to touch the clouds, but she knew it was impossible.

She was wondering if what Ren said was true...did she really have a crush on Naruto. She let out an inaudible sigh.

So far, her only goal in life was to make her deceased parents proud by training until she passed out and becoming a good kunoichi, but she was positive that if she were to develop a crush, it would get in the way of her goals. She couldn't help but to have feelings for naruto though.

Ren stared vacantly at the air and gripped a clump of grass. She was supposed to know a lot about love, yet right now, she was the one who was confused. She felt annoyed by this fact, but there wasn't enough space in her brain for her to continue thinking about it.

[Kuzio]

Naruto rubbed the back of his head a little and nodded before Ren took off.

Cyril looked at Ren briefly then looked back to the ground, Ugh..Do I like this Ren-girl? he thought and he pushed some hair away from his eyes.

Naruto sighed a little remembering what Ren had said about him and Kira, he couldnt help but think about Kira now.

Cyril stood up and looked at Ren again who was staring off into the air, he sat beside her, "You okay?" he asked questioningly but he didnt wave his hand in her face because he was sre his voice would snap her out of it.

[Kira]

Ren continued to stare at the air for a few seconds before she realized Cyril was sitting next to her. She felt her heart skip a beat and ignored the fluttery feeling in her heart. An extremely light blush crawled onto her cheeks. “Err...” she started. “I-I’m fine!” she finally answered, able to choke out the words that were stuck in her throat.

Kira curiously watched Ren’s movements and felt frustration crawl into her mind. She was positive that she probably had some feelings for Naruto, but she was also positive that she couldn’t let those feelings develop, because they would get into the way of her goals.

She had already let friendship get in her way, but how much more was she willing to give up for others? Friendship was one thing, but love was a completely different topic for Kira.

‘Maybe, just maybe there’s a way I can keep getting stronger and keep these feelings out of my way?’ she thought, with a little bud of hope starting to blossom in her stomach.
‘Well, I can just ignore these feelings while I’m training, so I can keep getting stronger, while keeping the feelings, except just not think of them when I’m training or doing something else that’ll give me a better chance for my goal...’, she thought, with a tiny smile. ‘Yes, that’s what I’ll do if I ever fall in love...’ she thought, confidently.

‘Except no one would like me that way, so what use will I have for that plan...I mean, I’m positive Naruto wouldn’t even come close to thinking of me that way- wait! What? What does Naruto have to do with this? I absolutely do not like him as more than a friend!’ she thought, a bit surprised that Naruto suddenly came into her thoughts. She was still too hard-headed to agree with her feelings that she liked someone.

Ren turned her head away from Cyril, so he wouldn’t see a blush appear on her face, if it ever happened. ‘No...I’m probably just thinking too much into these feelings...’ she thought arrogantly, acting a bit like Kira.

[Kuzio]

Cyril looked over to her confused again, "Uh..Okay?" he said questioning and smiled nervously and looked at Naruto.

Naruto waved his hand in Kiras face a little, h whistled and said, "Earth to Kira?" and smiled a little bit.

Cyril snickered a little, He so likes her, i can tell and i dont know anything about love, it might not be love, when did i start talking about love? he thought and shook his head looking back over to Ren to see if she had stopped doing whatever she was doing while naruto waited for Kira to respond to him.
