[color=indianred]“Kazu-chan!”[/color] Natsuko cried, launching herself onto the unsuspecting boy’s arm. 

[color=lightsteelblue]“Natsuko, let go,”[/color] Kazuhiko said, attempting to shake her off, but she clung on with a grin. 

[color=indianred]“Kazu-chan, tell me you at least talked to Riko-chan,”[/color] Natsuko said. [color=indianred]“C’mon—I know you two train your nature transformation jutsus under the same instructor.”[/color]

Kazuhiko stayed silent, tight-lipped as he looked behind himself. Looking over, Natsuko spotted Minoru and promptly dropped Kazuhiko’s arm, giving the team leader a little wave.

[color=indianred]“Hey, Minoru-sensei. Didn’t see you there,”[/color] she said with a coy smile. [color=indianred]“Me and Kazu-chan were just messing around, right, Kazu-chan?”[/color]

Kazuhiko shot her a look but stayed silent.

[color=indianred]“See?”[/color] Natsuko asked, shrugging.

Natsuko always knew how to get under his skin—that much was for sure. Despite having been on the same team for over a year now, he could never get used to the girl’s little plots and spontaneous jibes. Where Koharu and Minoru-sensei were reasonable people, Natsuko was an utter wild card who, though charming in her own way, was a bit too much for him to deal with so early in the morning.

Nodding at Koharu when she arrived, Kazuhiko turned to their sensei. [color=lightsteelblue]“Should we set out now?”[/color]
