Standstill

"Let me!" Xena hissed when Hinata started to greet her. Hinata was confused, Neji had come home so angry yesterday too, what was wrong with them? Aika was also bristly and, unlike normal, she didn't meet Xena, but an hour later.
"Sasuke!" Hinata whispered to him when he finally came. He looked over at her.
"What's the matter with them?" Hinata asked still in a whisper. Sasuke looked for the right word. "Aika and Xena have ... argued." he finally said. Hinata nodded.
"What about Neji?" she asked again. "He also argued with Xena ..." replied sasuke, who appeared to Hinata as the only normal one here.
Then finally came Kakashi.
He looked at the situation curiously.
Xena stood, turned in one direction, next to Sasuke, who tried again and again to cheer her up, but Xena just turned him down unpleasantly.
Aika stood, turned in the other direction, next to neji, who was at least trying to animate her to talk.But it didn't help. Aika remained silent.
And Hinata stood in the middle of it all. Kakashi looked at it for a while, because no one seemed to have noticed him.
"Hello?" he asked uncertainly. Hinata turned to him. "Oh, sensei Kakashi ... uh, how nice, uh ..." she greeted.
Sasuke turned around too. He raised his hand briefly in greeting. "Can you tell me what's going on here?" Kakshi asked, turning to Hinata, she shrugged her shoulders and protested that she didn't know herself.
Kakashi made himself heard after a few minutes with a high-pitched whistle.
"So listen up !! ..." he scolded.
"We have a new mission!" he called and Xena snorted. "What is it?" he asked irritably in Xena's direction.
"Well, I'm not going anywhere with that!" she snapped and waved a disparaging hand towards Aika.
"Ahh, I see ..." said Kakashi. Aika turned to him on her heel.
"First of all, they don't understand anything.
Second, stay out of it! "Said Aika threateningly and had run so energetically towards Kakashi that he had even taken a step backwards."I don't care either." said Kakashi.
"We're going to Suna." he added and turned around. "But, we can't go there ..." protested Hinata "... this Gaara wanted to kill sasuke and he riveted Aika himself." Kakashi smiled. "I'm here this time."
Aika glared at him angrily.
Did he really think he was that great?
The five shinobi reluctantly followed him. Xena stopped talking to Aika and vice versa. Aika didn't even look at her cousin.
"Xena, man, I haven't done anything to you!" Sasuke hissed in her ear. She did not answer. He snorted insulted, quickened his pace, and continued walking alongside Hinata.
"Is it really that bad?" Neji asked annoyed. Aika nodded. Neji sighed.
Today she had only spoken to Kakashi, no one else.
That could be really annoying.
Naji joined Sasuke and Hinata a short time later. But there wasn't much talk either. "Did you like that yesterday?" asked Xena, Aika.Both were the rearmost.
Aika shrugged. "I don't mean the arm dislocation, but the Neji ..."
Aika shrugged again.
"Damn it, at least talk to me!" called Xena.
"What should I tell you, here you go?" Aika grumbled in a bad mood.
Xena snorted and looked in another direction again. They went to Suna in silence.
"What should we do?" finally asked neji. Kakashi looked back and appeared to be smiling. "The Kazekage recently borrowed a scroll from Konoha, we should get it for the Hokage." he said and sauntered happily forward.
"Are you at least telling me why you did that with the arm dislocation?" Xena asked and Aika stopped. Kakashi turned to her.
"What's happening?" he asked, sounding impatient. Aika turned and left.
"What ...?" Xena called after her, but she raised her hand to say goodbye.
"I'm not participating, have fun." said Aika and just went back."What did you do with her?" Hinata asked perplexed. Xena shrugged and lowered her shoulders.
This girl had been a mystery to her since the Cape against Gaara.
Aika walked bored through the streets of Konoha. She carelessly rammed a person. "Hey!" was called after her. "Are you crazy!" the second time. "Aika!" heard her and noticed steps running hastily towards her. "Who ...?" said Aika, but the girl with the fiery red hair was already standing in front of her. “Kinae, right?” She nodded.
"I ... um, well ..." Kinae stammered. "Just say it." said Aika. "Well, I have little to do here in the city. We just moved here and ... well ... I wanted to ask, since you are the only one I know so far ..." Aika interrupted her. "just say it." she repeated to herself.
"Maybe you want to spend the day with me, you know ..." Aika sighed. "Before you talk any more, sure enough." she said and gave a pained smile.
Kinae took her arm and pulled her with her."I want to show you something." she said enthusiastically, as if the two had known each other for years.
Kinae led them through a tangle of people. "Kinae, where are you going?" asked Aika as she ran. "You will see in a moment." said this and pulled Aika into the forest.
She stopped in front of a tree.
She pointed to the branches with one hand. A faint chirping found its way into Aika's ears.
It sounded nice, peaceful.
"This bird is the most beautiful singer in the forest and it has now had young." said Kinae.
And Aika felt a little uncomfortable.
"Why are you showing me this? We've only known each other for a few minutes." said Aika and looked at Kinae suspiciously. "I have nothing else to do."
replied Kinae and smiled.
Aika returned the smile and they listened to the birds.
They sat on the grass and talked. "You're not a ninja at all, are you?" Aika asked in the middle of the conversation.
Kinae blushed a little.
"No." she said in a low voice.
"Then why are you telling it?" Aika wanted to know."Because I would like to be one." She said. "I can teach you, at least something ..." said Aika with a smile.
Kinae smiled too. "Better not, I'm scared, I'm going to be stupid."
“Well, if you don't want to.” Aika looked up at the bird again.
"Come home with me." suggested Kinae. "Tomorrow." Aika fended off.
"I still have something important to do today." she said and said goodbye.
Kinae waved as Aika walked away.
Aika walked through the forest, the apartment she wanted to go to wasn't that far away.
She knocked.
Tapping steps towards the door. Then the blonde opened the door.
"Naruto, I have to tell you something." began Aika.
Naruto was pale and he held a handkerchief to his nose, which he blew his nose a few seconds later. "You know what ... tell me tomorrow." Naruto tried to close the door, but Aika stopped him.
"It is important!"
