2 Chapter 2

"Akira-kun, congratulations on passing the test. But I won't be able to deploy you immediately." Hiruzen said to Akira.

Hiruzen was extremely impressed with the Taijutsu style Akira showed and he wanted to take advantage of those skills.

"So, what will I be doing till then? I don't have any money with me for my living expenditure." Akira asked in confusion.

"Hahaha! No need to worry, Akira-kun. I have already settled a good place for you and your little sister. I have planned on having you teach academy students some basic Taijutsu seeing that you are extremely skilled at it. It will also help you to familiarise with the people here and learn the basic three Ninjutsu." Hiruzen explained to Akira.

Hiruzen knew that the Taijutsu style Akira utilised was not only extremely powerful but extremely versatile as well. If the future generations were to be able to grasp even some of those skill set then they would have amazing Taijutsu skills.

Akira hearing that he would be teaching academy students was stunned.

"Eh! Are you sure that I should be teaching academy students? I don't have a clue on what I should be doing."

"There's no need to panic. There will be other teachers there with you to provide help. We just need you to teach students whatever you can." Hiruzen calmly said.

"Alright... by the way. About Kurenai-san, is she alright?"

"Yes, She should be fully recovered in two weeks."

"Is it possible to visit her? I feel kinda bad for doing such a thing to her." Akira said with guilty expression.

"Of course, just go to the hospital with this slip and they will allow you to visit her." Hiruzen said as he passed a permit to him.

"Now then about little Karin. What do you plan on doing?" Hiruzen asked Karin who was surprised for being called out so suddenly.

"Eh! Me?"

"Yes, Karin-chan. With that ability of yours to sense chakra, you have a great future as a ninja." Akira's expression darkened at that. He didn't want his little sister to go through dangers and knowing what kind dangers layed in the future, he was even more reluctant.

Hiruzen saw the expression of Akira and quickly mediated the problem since he didn't want Akira to think he was forcing her to become a ninja.

"Karin-chan, you can also choose not to be one since there are other valuable opportunities as well." Hearing him say that Akira relaxed a bit and looked at Karin.

Karin closed her eyes thinking a bit, "Is there by any chance I can be a medic?"

Hiruzen was surprised that someone was actually voluntarily asking to be a medic.

"Yes, you can. Is that what you want?"

"I want to be a medic so I can heal my nii-chan in the future if he get hurts badly. I want to be there for nii-chan just like how he's always there for me." Karin said with determination.

Hiruzen smiled at the sibling love they had and Akira teared up and hugged her.

"Nii-chan! You are making me dirty with your snot!" Karin whined.

"Sorry..." Akira sheepishly said.

"Alright then with this everything has been decided. Go to the front desk and ask my secretary for the location of your new home and all of your living expenses will be deducted from your career as a teacher. You will start teaching in the academy in a week. Now then go along, these paperwork aren't going to be get done by themselves you know." Hiruzen shooed away the sister and brother pair away from there.

Akira was tempted to give Hiruzen the idea of using the Shadow Clone to help him with the paperwork but gave up as it would be suspicious so Hiruzen continued suffering the hell known as paperwork.

Kurenai was not having a good time. No, she certainly was not, as even breathing felt like she was going through extremely stressful work.

Akira had certainly done a number on her. Her injuries were all internal and wasn't that dangerous but was extremely effective for take downs.

She could only blame her bad luck for being matched up against a Taijutsu expert like him.

'Arggg! Couldn't they have called Guy to spar against him? Why did Hokage-sama even match me against him? Unless... he didn't know anything about his Taijutsu prowess.'

Kurenai sighed as she continued lamenting her bad luck.

BANG!!!

"Yo! Your sexy and single badass ninja Anko Mitarashi is here!"

A violet haired girl wearing a large tanned coat with fitted mesh suit entered kicking the door open. She had a seductive body with equally large asset as Kurenai. She had light brown, pupil-less eyes and her hair was styled in a short, spiky, fanned ponytail.

"How's my best girl doing? I heard you were beaten by a new guy quite badly." Anko said with a grin on her face.

Kurenai winced being reminded once again how badly she was beaten.

"Anko... what are you doing here? Aren't you still going through your apprenticeship with Ibiki at TI department?" Kurenai said trying to divert the topic which made Anko dig even deeper for information.

"Eh!? Thats what I am here for. I am going to take that bastard to our TI department and make sure he isn't a spy." Anko said with a sadistic smile. TI department was the Torture and Interrogation department which specialised in getting information through violent means.

"So tell me all about him. I am going to pay him a visit." Kurenai sweat dropped. She knew that Anko was pissed at Akira for hurting her badly.

"Anko, I know you are pissed at the guy for hurting me but it was a spar. And if you do anything to him, Hokage-sama might punish you." Kurenai softly said to Anko but Anko wasn't having any of that.

"No way! I am not going to let the prick get away with harming one of my besties. And I am doing this for the safety of the village."

Anko Mitarashi was the ex-student of the traitor Snake Sanin Orochimaru and because of that she was persecuted by the village. There were only few people who truly treated her well and one of them was Kurenai.

Seeing Kurenai hurt like this made Anko wanting to torture the guy who did this to her. And now the said guy was currently at the door and had heard everything.

"Umm... Yo!" Akira awkwardly greeted the two girls.

Both Anko and Kurenai snapped their head towards Akira scaring the shit out of him.

"Hehehe... I came to apologise for... well... beating you?" Akira nervously said as he questioned his own reason for visiting Kurenai.

Anko immediately rushed towards Akira and sized him up.

"Hmm... not a bad looking guy and looks like you have quite a tool on you. I will have fun making that tool of yours... useless." Anko said in a low threatening voice.

Akira nervously scratched the back of his head. He had just come to visit Kurenai after setting everything up at his new place. And now he was face to face against the sadistic kunoichi.

But thankfully he had made some dangos and brought some of it for Kurenai.

"Before you do anything, have some dangos I brought. I made them myself." Hearing the word dango, Anko immediately snatched the basket he had brought with him.

"If this dango is not good then you can kiss your meat rod goodbye." Anko threatened Akira as she took a bite of the dango.

Anko froze and looked at Akira with shining eyes, "Marry me you bastard! So I can have these delicacies everyday."

Kurenai and Akira were both stunned.

"Hey Anko! Is it really that good? Give me one." Kurenai said as she tried to grab one but Anko immediately took the heavenly dangos away from her.

"MINE!!!" Anko hissed.

Kurenai looked shocked at her possessive attitude. She knew Anko loved dangos but she would share at leadt with her but now she wasn't even willing to do that.

Akira looked at the scene with pride.

'No one can resist the heavenly taste of my foods.' Akira smugly thought.

"Kurenai-san, I can bring you other foods later. For now, I want to apologise to you for my bad conduct." Akira gave a bow.

"It's alright. In our line of job, we tend to get hurt pretty badly. Anyways... I will be expecting good foods from you since Anko here has taken away the food you brought." Kurenai wryly said as Anko happily munched the delicious dangos.

"Don't worry Kurenai-san. I will be visiting you regularly till you discharge." Akira said with a warm smile.

"No... you don't have to-" Kurenai was interrupted as Anko leaped at Akira.

"Oi! You better not forget about my dangos when you come." Anko said still chewing the dangos with a happy grin.

"Alright, anyways I will be going now. Take care!" Akira waved the goodbye as he left.

"So... what do you think Anko?"

"About what?" Anko asked still eating.

"About him!" Kurenai said as a tick mark appeared on her head.

"Oh! Him? He's a good guy. Anyone that can make such a heavenly dango can't be a bad guy. You were just unlucky to spar against him." Anko said in a happy go lucky tone.

Kurenai sighed at her friends antics. But at least now she had something to look forward to. She couldn't wait to get a taste of his cooking.

"So you are going to be teaching a bunch of spoiled brats? Tough Luck!" Anko said busily munching her precious dango.

"Hmmm... I guess you can learn basics regarding the way ninjas operate from the academy. Hokage-sama seems to have thought out well regarding your lack of knowledge on ninjas." Kurenai spoke her thoughts as she too was eating her precious pizzas.

It had already been six days since the incident and they had gotten quite friendly with each other. That was also mainly due to the amazing food Akira had cooked up.

Whoever said the best way to get close to a man through his stomach was not fully correct since it seems it apply to women as well.

"Yeah... I am pretty nervous since I have no idea what to do. What if I make a fool out of myself?" Akira started blabbering.

Anko and Kurenai shook their heads seeing him so nervous.

Anko suddenly gained a mischievous smile on her face and whispered to Kurenai.

Kurenai's face got red at what Anko had said.

"Come on! Look at that poor guy. He's been practically feeding us everyday. It's the least we can do to ease him." Anko said trying to convince Kurenai to agree to her idea.

"But isn't there any other way? You know that I-"

"Oh relax! It's not a big deal. Let's just do it!" Anko said not letting Kurenai finish her words.

"Ok... but only because you said so." Kurenai said with red face.

As Akira was busy blabbering non-stop, he felt a soft peck at both his cheeks.

He stopped all actions and froze at the scene. He was being kissed at his cheeks by two beautiful girls!

After a short moment Anko gave a grin, "So, did you like that? Think of it as a good luck charm from us."

"Don't misunderstand Akira-kun. I only did this to give you some confidence." Kurenai huffed with red face as she looked away from Akira.

"Right..." Akira blurted out still touching his cheeks.

Akira returned home with a silly smile on his face as he was no longer nervous about teaching the academy students. The girls had successfully given confidence to Akira with their kiss.

Karin saw the look on Akira's face and immediately interrogated him, "Nii-chan! My imouto senses are tingling! Something must have happened to you with that lady. Share with me what happened."

Akira immediately snapped out of his silly daze as he shuttered, "W-what do you mean? She certainly didn't k-kiss me, ok?"

"Ehhhh~! My nii-chan's already gotten a kiss! Kyaaa~! As expected of my nii-chan!" Karin gushed with excitement.

"Y-you... naughty little minx!" Akira chased Karin as she kept teasing her nii-chan. Little did she know that it was two girls that kissed him.
