[[Loyalty]] A Kiba Inuzuka Story [13]

[[Chapter 38]]

"Kagami-chan! Kagami-chan!" Kiba urged. No response. Ichiro put his hand on Kiba's arms, signaling him to stop. The chains glowed a certain grey color and then snapped, Kiba looked back and saw Ryuumaru had broken Kagami's mirror and cut his arm. Kiba quickly caught the young kunoichi and set her down on the floor carefully.

"We need to give her medical precautions; I don't think she can hear you…" Ichiro said calmly. Kiba growled, knowing he was right. No matter what, Kagami wouldn't be able to hear Kiba's voice. Much to his dislike, he moved out of the way and Ichiro opened Kagami's mouth slightly.

"I'm going to perform CPR, so everytime I blow air into her mouth; I need you to put your hands together flatly and push 3 or 4 times got it?" Ichiro asked. Kiba nodded and got his hands ready. After 3 tries Kagami's eyes snapped open and she sat up quickly and started coughing. Kiba smiled and let out a relieved sigh. Kagami put a hand over her heart as a bead of sweet trickled down her jaw. I really died just then…? I-…I'm alive… She was practically hipervulating. Kiba hugged her close and patted her back comfortably.

"Kagami-chan, you really scared me y' know." Kiba whispered.

"Eh, sorry Inuzuka-san." Kagami whispered back. He felt himself smile and then look back at Akamaru.

"Aka-chan needs help too." Without any more words, Kiba left Kagami and went to try and free Akamaru. Alteast he had his companions back.

"Bye Tadashi-sama!!" Kagami waved. Tsuki looked at her and smiled, and turned around and grabbed her hand.

"I hope to one day see you again, Miss Kagami." He bowed. She blushed slightly and smiled.

"I-… I'm sure you might!" She thought of quickly. Ryuumaru smiled and laughed at his cousin's embarrassment and Kiba felt his blood boil. Little son of a… Flirting with Kagami-chan like that! He thought. Sure Kiba knew that they way that Tsuki was 'flirting' were just his imagination gone wild, but he still got pissed by it.

"We'll be going now, hope your luck came back!" Ryuumaru smiled and grabbed Kagami's shoulder from behind. Tsuki nodded and started to walk the opposite direction. Ryuumaru nodded and they all started walking. Kiba sighed and put his hands behind his back.

"Kagami-san, are you going to be alright? You were under that Genjutsu for a long time." Ryuumaru asked. Kagami smiled and waved her hand in front of her.

"I'll be fine. It's nothing you all should be concerned about." She defended. Kiba raised an eyebrow. But she also stopped breathing for that minute… Kiba thought but didn't bring it up. Ryuumaru nodded and started walking again. Kagami looked down, but still smiled softly. I wonder… what if I didn't start breathing again. What would have happened? Would I have been forgotten? Replaced? She asked herself. She glanced at Kiba who was laughing and started chasing Akamaru. I guess that's not for me to know. She concluded. Answering her own hopeless questions.

"Chirosu!" Kagami opened her eyes to show her elders. They gaped and some gasped and started to whisper to eatchother. She recognized her Grandfather sit still and he held up his hand to make everyone silent.

"Kagami, you have improved well over the years. And you have just showed me the second version of the Chirosu. A very nice one I may add. Your taijutsu skills are just as expected from a Chousei." He mumbled. He coughed and Kagami knelt down, staring at the ground. Her Grandfather had gone blind over the years and uses the Chirosu as his only source of vision. Kagami nodded and looked at her bandaged hand. A more recent injury from accidentally not moving her hand when she needed to, especially when her Mother had a knife.

"Kagami, you may leave now." Her Grandfather waved her off like a fly. She nodded and stood up, giving a respectful bow before looking at them.

"Grandpa, may I ask you something?" She asked. Her grandfather raised an eyebrow in interest.

"What is it Kagami?" He asked back. She stared at him, and then she looked down, her Chirosu still in use.

"About my Father-" She started.

"Stop." Her Grandfather ordered. She looked up in surprise and he had an angry look in his eyes that made her shrink back down in a kneeling position.

"Never mention your Father in this household." Her Grandfather warned.
