    Chapter 5 Mind Reading

    “Ashley, you used that jutsu?!” Granny snaps. “Your Wings of a Butterfly jutsu!?”
    “Gomennasai Tsunade-sama. (I’m sorry Lady Tsunade).” I whisper.
    Itachi looks at me, questioning my motives. I look back at him indirectly.
    “Ashley, how much damage did you take?” Itachi asks.
    “60% of what was dealt to you.” I answer.
    Itachi gives me some of his chakra. Some of the damage gets relieved. I see pain in Itachi’s eyes. A young woman walks in, Lady Shizune to be exact. She whispers something to Granny Tsunade. Granny looks at me curiously. There is a knock at the door.
    “Neesan, nan desu ka? (Nathan, what is it?)” I yell.
    Nathan a.k.a. ‘Neesan’ walks in. “Ashley, what did you this time?”
    “Don’t even lecture me right now. I smell food on you.” I sigh.
    “Crap. You’re right about trying to get food past you.” Neesan whines. “Well I brought food for everyone.”
    Breakfast was quite enjoyable. Neesan finds out that Itachi can read minds. Itachi tries to read my mind. I do not let him do so. I repel Itachi with ease. I will admit I am starting to like Itachi. Clara a.k.a. ‘Dei-chan’ blows down the door by accident.
    “Katsu!” Dei-chan screams. “Oops.”
    Itachi proceeds to knock out Dei-chan. I call off Itachi, while saving Dei-chan. Neesan leaves quietly. Mostly out of complete jealousy. Dei-chan apologizes for blowing up the door. Yet again Itachi tries to read my mind. Still, I do not let Itachi read my mind. Dei-chan chills by my stuff. Granny Tsunade gives me my medicine. I blank out from the world temporarily.
