A head of bright red hair peeked in, a small, mischievous face scanning the room.
It was Kushina.
After making sure Xin wasn't around, Kushina relaxed and placed a bento box on the table.
She quietly closed the door, unaware that the person she was trying not to disturb was watching her with a headache, rubbing his temples.
"What are you doing?" Xin asked.
"Ahhh!" Kushina shrieked, leaping into the air like a startled deer. Already on edge, she was terrified when Xin suddenly spoke.
In that moment, she was just a scared little girl-no chakra chains, no enhanced perception, nothing.
"Don't scare me like that!" Kushina huffed, glaring at Xin and stomping her foot.
*Yawning, Xin rolled his eyes at her and headed for the bathroom. "How did you get a key to my house?"
Looks like I'm not getting any more sleep.
"Because I live next door,"
Kushina said proudly, shaking the key. "I told the locksmith I locked myself out, and he helped me open the door and made me a copy."
Xin nearly choked on his toothpaste foam.
What kind of sneaky move is that? You're so good at this, why not just become a thief? Even thieves don't have it this easy-just walk right in and take the key.
With a cheerful grin, Kushina opened the bento box and sat down at the table, resting her chin on one hand as she said happily, "I heard this morning that you taught that jerk from the Shimura clan a lesson, so I asked the Anbu guys tailing me and confirmed you were back in the village. That's why I brought you this lunch."
"..."
"So, you're getting along well with the Anbu," Xin remarked as he finished washing his face and brushing his teeth. Glancing at the bento, he sat down and picked up a grilled chicken wing, taking a big bite.
Last night, after Sakumo Hatake had unexpectedly dropped by, Xin had ended up bringing out some extra food he had prepared. But who would've thought that white-haired glutton would eat so much, leaving Xin still hungry?
Now, this lunch was hitting the spot.
Seeing Xin eat with such enthusiasm made Kushina feel very pleased with herself.
"How did you know I was opening the door? I was being so careful," She asked, curious.
With the giant Nine-Tails inside you, how could he not notice? Ophis was practically ready to jump out at the sensation. And besides, he was already awake.
Xin casually tossed the chicken bone onto the table. "Before you came, Uchiha's heir was banging on my door. Woke me up, and just as I was about to get back to sleep, I heard the door open."
"Oh, I see," Kushina replied, a little embarrassed as she stuck out her tongue.
