A/N Recap:

 

Haru glared up at her taller sibling, “Why, because I struck a nerve?” Haru snatched her arm out of her sister's grasp and started to walk away. Before Phoenix could retaliate Temari pinned her to the wall by pressing her hands against the wall on either side of her head, “let it go Phoenix.” Phoenix stood anger rolling off her in waves, pushing one of Temari's arms out of her way she walked off. “Where are you going?” “Out.” Temari sighed as she watched her friend leave, what is going on around here?

~ Siblings Fights ~

 

 

I can't believe her! Haru punched the wooden post, leaving her fist in the indention her knuckles bloody and her hand was starting to swell. She pulled her hand back, fueled once again by her sister's stubbornness, but before she could release it her wrist was grabbed and held firmly in place. Turning around to yell at who ever dared to stop her venting was going to now getting a taste of it, “What the….nii-san.” Ryu frowned as he look at her bloody hand, “you've got two broken fingers.” Haru quirked a brow, “what are you….ooowwwww!” Ryu chuckled, “apparently now you can feel it.” Taking her hand in his he began to heal it. The swelling, bleeding and throbbing was soon turning into a tingling sensation, one that you seem to experience when being healed. Haru couldn't take the silence and broke it, “nii-san what did you say to Phoenix the other day?” Quirking a brow at her question, “Whispered?” Rolling her eyes, “when she was healing my legs, you whispered something to her and she said don't worry about it that's why you're here. What the hell is going on? Stop keeping things from me!” Haru's anger was returning ten fold and Ryu wasn't one to let his younger sisters get the upper hand. “Haru.” He said sternly and with the look he gave her, she calmed down, a lot. “Sorry.” She whispered. Finished healing her hand he let it go, “Haru, Phoenix isn't one to share things, even with me. She keeps certain things to herself, she's always been like that.” She shook her head, “I don't care were sisters and sisters don't keep secrets!” “They do if they believe it is to protect others.” Ryu let go a sigh, “look I'll talk to her.” “Don't bother. She won't tell you anything, stubborn shit.” “Your attitude will never get any better will it?”

 

Ryu and Haru turned to see Phoenix standing her arms over her chest her face set in a glare. Ryu went to speak, but Haru beat him to it. “Just like your's, one-chan.” Growling out the honorific. “Whatever.” Phoenix turned to leave, but it was Haru's turn to block her path. “I don't have time for this move, now or I'll make you.” Haru went to punch her sister but was easily blocked, so she tried to kick her, no good either. Letting her anger and frustration fuel her kicks and punches she soon had her elder sister on the defensive. Phoenix was soon finding it very hard to keep ahead of the fiery red head.

 

BAM!

 

Phoenix flew back from the impact of Haru's kick to her chest, slamming into the nearby wall with a resounding smack. Falling to the ground Phoenix looked up to see Ryu had a hold of Haru trying to keep her from attacking once more, now pissed her self Phoenix stood, dusted off her pants and charged her chakra. “Let her go!” Ryu's eyes widened as he watched his sister's red chakra flow around her, he could actually feel it and they were a good fifty feet away. Haru stopped her struggling once her sister stood. Hearing what she said Haru charged her chakra as well and waited for her sister to make a move. “Phoenix! Haru! Stop this!” Ryu yelled. Haru and pushed his back making him stumble. Haru charged at Phoenix, who stood unfazed, but their brother gave no room for argument. Ryu appeared between the two, punching Phonix back and kicking Haru to the side. “I won't say this again, STOP IT!” turning to face Phoenix, “focus, you need to pull your chakra back…pull it back, now!” Haru stood from her spot on the ground and dusted her self off wiping the small trail of blood from her lip. Phoenix spit hers to the ground, “Shut up Ryu. Haru wants to teach me a lesson, so let her.” Haru furrowed her brows, “Aarrggh!” Haru tried once again to charge, but Ryu's agered voice stopped her cold, “SHUT UP HARU!” Leaving no room for argument he yelled without looking at her. Haru stood shocked. “Just...” Haru could see he was hurting, but why? Turning her attention back to her sister she noticed that the incident had brought the others out of the mansion. “PHOENIX!” Kankuro yelled. Using flash step Ryu had Phoenix pinned to the wall behind her, using her focus on the others to catch her off guard. With the force of the impact he managed to get her to `snap out of it'. “Phoenix damn it! Are you trying to hurt someone?!” He yelled in her face. Phoenix shuddered at her brother's anger, and pulled her chakra back in and turned her head away from him muttering, “sorry.” Ryu let go the breath he didn't know he was holding and grabbed her head holding her to him, she didn't hug back. Haru stood confused and angry, turning she headed for the entrance. Shikamaru noticed her leaving and ran to catch up, “Haru wait!” once reaching her he grabbed her arm turning her to him, “hey where are you going?” “Home.” She hissed. Shikamaru looked as if he had been burned, “Haru…” “Just let it go Shika, I want to go home.” Turning she headed for the exit once more. Sighing Shikamaru turned and followed suit, both leaving Suna without saying goodbye.

 

“What the hell is wrong with you?! She's your sister….” “Oh shut it!” Phoenix hissed back. Ryu couldn't take it any more, standing he surprised everyone when he picked her up by her throat pinning her to the wall behind them. “RYU!” Temari yelled. Kankuro was about to break them up when he heard Ryu growl out to Phoenix, “You think you're the only one with issues? If I have to beat the shit out of you then so be it.” Phoenix glared at her brother, I mean they've faught but never this bad, “Try it Ani.” She said growling out her threat. Ryu pulled his hand from her neck to then grab her hands and pull them behind her back and dragging her out of the room slamming the door with their departure. Using flash step Ryu had them both at the training ground. Phoenix struggled some more against his strong grip, “Let me go, Ryu damn it!” Releasing her she turned to face him and noticed he had his swords drawn, when did he? Fine. Standing firm she pulled a sutra from the pouch on her leg. Slapping the paper on one of the training posts she drew her hand away from it bringing her scythe with it. The group made it outside just it time to see the two charged at each other. Dust and wind kicked up and around the two jounin as they clashed in the middle. Shielding her eyes from the dust Temari couldn't believe what was going on. When the dust settled the group was able to see Ryu pushing both of his swords down on top of Phoenix's scythe. Phoenix who had one knee on the ground was barley able to keep her brother's swords away from her body. Using a boost she pushed him back a bit and then managed to back flip a couple of times to get even further away. “Are you ready to give it up?” Ryu smirked. Phoenix growled as she disappeared. Ryu closed his eyes and turned to block her attack from behind, “that's my move.” He stated flatly. Phoenix hissed as she maneuvered her footing and managed to land a hit, kicking him in the side causing him to loose his balance leaving an opening open for her to finish the move. Ryu regained his footing in time to move out of the way with out even getting a scratch. “STOP THIS!” Temari yelled. She tried to run up to them, but was stopped. “Don't interfere, Temari you'll just get hurt.” Temari turned to him, “then you stop them, their your team mates!” Kira sighed as he looked the girl in the face, “There isn't any thing I can do either…” “So we just let them fight? Ryu will kill her.” Kankuro growled, “if you won't jump in then I will.” Kankuro proceeded to intervene but Kira stopped him as well. Turning the puppet master was ready to strike when he was stopped by a yelp. Turning the group saw Phoenix kneeling on the ground holding her hand over a wound on her arm that was bleeding heavily. Ryu put away his swords and walked over to her, kneeling down so he was eye level with her he reached for her arm. Snatching out of his reach she tried to stand but her brother had other ideas. Yanking on her hurt arm he made her fall, not to lady like, on her ass. “Ooowww. Damn it Ani that hurt!” smiling he just shrugged his shoulders. Phoenix just laid on the ground and allowed her brother to heal her arm. Breaking the silence he asked her what was wrong. Sighing Phoenix told him what was on her mind, “we can't keep here safe when she's living there, she supposed to be here with us! “But why let that bother you?” Phoenix quirked a brow, “What do you mean WHY? what else is it suppose to do?” Ryu laughed at her confused expression, “Nixey you can't protect her forever and fighting her isn't helping either. She is getting stronger and it just pisses her off when you don't let her protect you. Besides the both of you are more stubborn than any one I've ever met.” Phoenix tsked, “she's not strong enough…” “Then help her.” Phoenix looked at her brother. “Phoenix you want her to be strong, you want her to be able to take care of her self, and the fact is she already can.” Ryu watched as the anger on his sister's face started to leave it. Putting her hands over her face she sighed. “Where is she?” “They left.” Shaking her head she stood and headed for the exit. Ryu stood and hollered to her, “Hey where are you going?” “To apologize.” She yelled back. Ryu smirked and turned to the group off to the side meeting Kankuro in the middle. “What's going on?” he asked watching his girlfriend making her way to the exit of the village. “She's going to apologize.” Kankuro looked confused, “alone?” Ryu hugged Temari to him, “yeah. She needs to do this on her own. Besides she should back once she makes it to Konoha and we'll send word for her to go over what ever needs to be done `ambassador' wise.” Kankuro shook his head, “I still don't see why she should go alone.” Placing a hand on his shoulder Ryu gave it a squeeze, “trust me.”
