Females Only (Private, NK Akina/Prim)

Prim woke up the next morning at sunrise. She had remembered talking to Viper the night before, but didn't remember what they talked about. She shrugged as she stood up and stretched. Picked out a black tank top and long sleeve fishnet shirt, her favorite black leather pants and her black shoes. she brushed her long black hair and decided to leave it down. She stepped out of her bedroom and went downstairs to the kitchen and decided to enjoy a cup of warm tea. Anyone who knew Prim before knew she liked to sleep until she felt like getting up, normally wore her pajamas downstairs and wrapped up in a blanket. She was also rather lazy and probably would not have wasted her time making tea even. She wondered if anyone else was home.

Akina took a deep breath as she greeted the morning. At least things between her and Viper were less strained, but she still felt like she was walking on egg shells around Primrose. The girl was very peppy, which was not a problem, really, but Akina's sense often wanted to war with the female Uchiha's senselessness. The Hyuga secretly hoped that the girl would learn how to mature in a world that had little place for children.

As she dressed quickly in a heavier silk kimono that was red and white, scattered with gold leaves, symbolizing the autumn weather that was coming. She tied the kimono with a deep forest green obi, slipped on her house slippers and walked down the stairs. She finally got used to her own room in the house.

She was going to make tea, but she realized with a start that Prim was already sitting at the table with a cup of tea in front of her. Prim was hardly ever up this early, but Akina managed to hide the rest of her shock with a slight bow. "Good morning, Prim." She kept her voice low, in case others were sleeping, and she wondered what else about the girl may have changed.

Prims eyes looked over at Akina with a smile as she entered the kitchen. "Good Morning Akina, I made some tea if you would some." Prim said to her as she looked at the table which she had somehow set with cups and the tea pot. Odd behavior for Prim, but yet to her felt completely normal. "Akina would you like to go somewhere with me today?" Prim asked Akina. She felt she needed the company of another female, and since Viper trusted Akina and had invited her to live with them, then maybe she should to!

The Hyuga smiled slightly, and nodded shortly. "The tea sounds like a good idea." She made her voice sound a little cheerier than normal. She smiled as she poured herself a small cup of tea. The aroma awakened her body a little more than normal. As she slid gracefully into the chair opposite of Prim, she lifted the cup to her lips, and as she sipped from it, she listened to what Prim wanted to tell her.

Akina was silent for a moment, and her eyes concentrated on Prim's face. The girl looked more confident for a change, but she also knew what Viper would do to her if his adopted sister went and got herself or them both into trouble. Part of her wanted to see if Prim was strong enough to take care of herself, but she figured Viper would have already made sure of that.

"Sure...I'll go somewhere with you, as long as you're sure we won't get into trouble. Maybe we can spar sometime?" Akina mentally cursed for letting that slip, but she couldn't help being curious about how much Prim had changed. From looking at her, it seemed as though her combat skills would have the same problems that Akina was having with Viper.

"Sure I would love to spar with you sometime." Prim smiled. "If thats what you would like to do today then we can spar!" Prim felt really excited about sparring with Akina. Considering she was Vipers student, although she did wonder if it was something more between the two of them. It didn't matter to Prim though, Akina was a good person and very lady like, and Viper smiled when she was around. Akina was perfect if they ever decided to date. "It is up to you though, I just thought I would spend sometime with you and get to know you. You seem very nice." Prim said to Akina with her bkue eyes lighting up!

Akina finished her tea quickly, almost choking when Prim readily agreed to spar with her. She was almost certain that the girl normally avoided conflict, but she nodded, hiding the burning sensation that slid down her throat in a fiery rage. "It's settled, then. Shall we go spar?" Silver eyes met blue, and a smile parted her lips on seeing the girl's happiness.

"First, we should probably make some lunch. Would you like to learn how to make an obento with me?" She wondered if this was the feeling her aunt got when she was teaching her to make boxed lunches. There was something of happiness running through her veins, and she quickly had some rice in a pot, waiting for Prim's response.

Prim was very happy to learn knew things. "I have heard of them but never made one, I would love to learn how." Prim said getting up and sitting her tea cup in the sink and walking to stand by Akina. It looked as though this was going to be a good girls out day after all! "My mom use to make them for me and my father when I was a kid. I would take it to school and he would take one with him to work. "Prim smiled thinking of her past.

Akina laughed a little. To anyone but herself, it sounded like a normal laugh, a sweet laugh that was meant to compliment a young girl's memories of her parents, but to herself, it was a dead, cold laugh, born at least in part, of envy. She managed to keep her happy face on as she started cooking the rice. "It's nice to have memories, isn't it?" She smiled.

Akina said that Prim should just follow her lead, and soon the pieces should fall into place. The girl carefully shaped the hot rice that had cooked into small balls. She had cooked up and stuffed sweet red bean paste into the rice balls. After making a set of three, she wrapped them with a finishing garnish of seaweed. "Behold, the onigiri." She said, smiling triumphantly. She placed her three rice balls into her obento, waiting for Prim to copy her.

"Once you get good, try making fun shapes with them, then you can share them with your friends."

Primmy watched in awe as she made the rice balls. "I have a few memories, most are of living in the forest for a while before Viper rescued me. Of course they are bad memories from the forest." Prim copied Akinas movements exactly. She had always been a fast learner. "How are these?" She asked as she showed her work to Akina. "Thanks for showing me how to make these, it's kind of fun Prim smiled. "How did you meet my cousin Viper if you don't mind me asking?" Prim asked her curiously.

Akina bit her lip somewhat, and decided not to push the matter of memories further. She looked over at Prim's onigiri and smiled. The girl was an Uchiha, so she shouldn't have expected any less from the girl. Akina nodded slightly. "Good job. You learn quickly, it seems. That's a valuable trait." Her voice was gentle, and she tied off the cloth around her obento box. She began walking toward the door, and motioned for Prim to follow. "Training grounds, then?" Her demeanor was shifting from her normal one to one that was more suited for battle.

"Well," she said slowly, contemplating on how to answer the girl's newest question, keeping the dreams out of the equation, "We happened to be at the library at the same time, and I needed some help with Byakugan. Viper-dono offered to help me, so he took me in."
