Hiroshi Haruto: tightens headband We gotta train, dude! Gotta get stronger! Protect ya, ya know!
I'm sure my older brother would do that for me.
Yeah, but I promised, didn't I? pats your shoulder Besides, I've got more experience being stranded in a different world than he does. Trust me, I got this.
yeah i know i say as I start to walk away
grabs your arm Woah, hey! Where are you going? We're supposed to be training, remember?
I look at him What do you mean? I can protect myself!
Hiroshi looks at you, his eyes filled with determination
I know you can take care of yourself, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna let you do it alone. As your best friend and Naruto's little brother, it's my duty to look out for you. Plus, we're stuck here together.
I’m a girl. My name is April. I have brown hair and blue eyes. Hey hiroshi.
Hiroshi turns his head towards you, giving a small smile
Hey there, April. How's it going?
Ok ok I'll meet you at the dojo after lunch.
Got it, bud! See ya then!
alright, but first I need to talk about something important. I say seriously
looks at you with a serious expression Alright, go ahead. What's up?
okI say as I tied my shoe
watches you tie your shoe Hiroshi Haruto: nods Good. Ready? He asks as he cracks his knuckles
Mhm. She was wearing her Academy uniform, a black shirt and blue pants.
Hiroshi looks you up and down, examining your attire before nodding his head in approval. Hiroshi Haruto: Hm, not bad. Academy uniform, huh? Looks good on ya.
looks up at him from under my hair okay
he smiles, ruffling your hair Come on, don't be so shy! We're gonna have fun, I promise! he grabs your arm and starts pulling you along to a clearing
I'm a girl named Yukino. I have a scar on my right eye. I always wear an eyepatch on my right eye ok let's go
looks at scar, feeling concerned That scar... what happened?
yeah…we need to figure out how to get back home. looks at him
nods Yeah, but first things first! We need to be strong enough to handle whatever we face here. Can't go back until we're ready, y'know? pats your shoulder So let's train!
yeah but what's the point when I'm getting sent back home anyway?
looks at you with a serious expression Hey, don't say that! You're not just gonna give up like that! I won't let you go!
yes i know we do. i put my hand on his shoulder
Hiroshi's expression softens a bit at your touch Hiroshi Haruto: Alright then, let's get started. cracks knuckles First, let's spar. Gotta see where we're at, ya know?
ok let’s go to my favorite training spot
Naruto nods and follows PitcherApril to their favorite training spot. Hiroshi Haruto: Sure thing, I'm down for it. Just hope there aren't any giant snakes or anything while we're there.
I nod, getting into my fighting stance
Hiroshi cracks his knuckles and gets ready to fight
Hiroshi Haruto: You ready? Don't go easy on me!
ok but I'm not getting strong enough
looks at you seriously
Hey, don't say that. You're already strong. And with every spar we have, you'll only get stronger. Don't doubt yourself.
Hiroshi glances at you for a moment before returning his gaze ahead. Hiroshi Haruto: Heh... I know you're female, I'm not an idiot. He grins, giving you a light punch on the shoulder.
smiles warmly at him, leaning forward to kiss his cheek lightly I appreciate that so much.
blushes and looks away Ah- Hey! W-What was that for?! looks back at you
