"Why is this world so messed up?" I sighed as I ran alongside Naruto, and Kakashi Sensei. We had to leave behind Sakura and Lady Chiyo to fight a different member. Beforehand, we we're all informed that the Akatsuki had taken Gaara, no doubt to extract Shukaku from him. We headed straight into action, though we had only just gotten back from a different mission.
"I wish I knew..." Sensei muttered. We remained in silence. Our target knew we were coming. In fact, when we met up with him, he was sitting on Gaara's corpse, with a bored look plastered on his face. He had long blonde hair, covering hid left eye, just as me. It was half up half down from the looks of it. He wore the Akatsuki's cloak, a sure sign he was part of the organization.
"Itachi said the nine tail's is the one who barks first yeah..." He muttered.
I spoke first. "Just who the hell do you think you are!" I screamed. He grinned at me and stood up. "I refuse to stand back and let some Akatsuki scum like you trample over Gaara like that." I seethed. "Prepare your self." I slowly drew my bow. "Because I won't hold back!" I weighed my odds of wining. This guy is an S rank missing ninja, and here I am a Miko, hardly a ninja. But with Naruto and Kakashi Sensei at my side, I could pull this off.
Naruto ran to my side, along with Sensei too. "Don't be reckless you two." Sensei reminded us. "We have no idea of this guys power." We nodded. I notched an arrow and pointed it at the man, who still smirked at me.
"So, nine tails." He spoke still looking to me. The straight face I held flawed for a moment. Did he really mistake me for Naruto? He must have been poorly informed. Before Naruto could stop reveal this though, I manged to quiet him down. Sensei too realized this, but didn't stop me. We all knew it was for the better that Naruto's true identity be kept a secret. If this guy thought I was the nine tails, then so be it.
"It's so nice of you to come to me un. I don't even have to chase you down." I scowled, pulling back my bow tighter. "You fit the description well. First to bark, check un. Blonde hair, check yeah. I always pictured you as a boy though un. Such as shame a cute girl like you has to die." I remained unfazed in the outside, but my insides fluttered at the compliment.
"How kind." I smiled. "But you should watch yourself. You just might wind up with your face to the floor." Everything happened at once. I dropped my bow as Naruto's shadow clone came from behind him and pushed him foreword. I dashed up, jumping on his back and collecting Gaara by his arm. I quickly pulled him up and fled to the safety of the tree tops. Taking a second to breath, I was caught off guard when two birds flew at me. They exploded, to my surprise. I fell back, right into his arms.
"Damn it." I cursed aloud. It was still no better that I was captured by the enemy. I had a secret of my own. The fact that I was a miko made me valuable to the hidden Leaf's enemies. I quickly pulled out a shiriken, and jabbed it into his right shoulder. He cried out, dropping me. I tumbled to my feet and screamed to Sensei. "Now Kakashi Sensei!"
He used his Sharingan, and almost got him. The man noticed and he only managed to get his arm. He cursed aloud, but it didn't stop him. He continued to attack us. Small clay spiders rushed towards me as I stood up. I panicked and just managed to avoid them as the exploded mere inches away from me.
"Shidonii, go meet up with team Gai!" Naruto yelled. "Kakashi Sensei and I can handle this guy!" I gave a curt nod to Naruto as I did a small shadow clone jutsu. The clone helped me carry Gaara away as Naruto and Sensei blocked my escape.
"Go ahead, run nine tails yeah!" The man called to me. "But just remember I'll be there to catch you in the end un!" I shook my head, freeing it from the negative thoughts. Like he would beat them. Even if he did manage, I'm not the nine tails, so in the end he would end up failing.
I sprinted to team Gai, they were close so in matter of minutes I reached them. I dispersed the clone as gently lied Gaara onto the ground. "I'm going to need everyone to be quiet, okay? Neji, I need you to make sure that man from before doesn't interrupt." He nodded and scanned the treeline where I came from. I keeled beside him and placed two pink palms on his chest. My power's did their work, and soon, the young Kazekage was once again with the living. It took a lot out of my, I garbed my head from the fatigue. The Sand siblings where the only other people besides the hidden leaf that knew of my miko abilities.
"Thank you Shidonii...You miko powers are coming along nicely." He slowly stood offering me a hand when he did. I took his and stood by him. "Yes I know. But when the Akatsuki man comes over, act as if I'm the nine tails, okay?" I informed everyone. They sent me confused looks, but nodded anyways. No sooner than when I had spoken did he come into the small clearing. He bypassed the fact that Gaara was once more alive, and simply scoped me onto the clay bird he was riding, soaring into the air.
"You're coming back to the Akatsuki base with me yeah. Leader will be happy to know I got two un." He smirked.
"Oh barf. You won't get anywhere with me." I spat. Moments later a swarm of ninja tools came flying at us, which he easily dodged. But, by doing so, collided with Gaara's sand. His eye widened in surprise as we plummeted to the ground. I pushed away from him, trying to land safely. In a last resort, I summoned my sword and shoved into the earth before me, somewhat softening the landing. The man, landed on his back. We were far from the others, so when I tried to move to them, I was pulled to the ground and silenced with a had over my mouth. He hid the two of us in the bushes. I watched helplessly as their shuffling feet slowly passed us by, calling my name. I attempted to escape, but by biting his hand I was met with a surprise.
Of course he had mouths on his hands, because most normal people do.
When he was positive they were gone, nearly half on hour later, he grinned he removed his only hand from my mouth. "Too bad yeah, you're coming with me."
"I'd rather be in hell." I commented.
"You will be yeah." He hoisted me over his shoulder, to my great dismay.
"I can walk you know." I commented, I hated how I shook with each step he took.
"We won't be walking for long yeah." The bird he rode on from earlier appeared. I sighed, but not before remembering something.
"Oh hey wait!" I exclaimed, hitting his back to gain his attention. "Go get my katana!" I pointed to where it lay a few meters back.
"Why would I do that nine tails un?" He asked as I was shoved onto the bird.
"My name isn't nine tails! I'm Shidonii god damn it!" I screamed, forgetting to justify why he should get my sword.
"It doesn't matter now Shidonii." He spoke as we rose into the air. "You're deathbed is coming un."
"Ugg... Right." I played along. I wouldn't die from the extraction. No, I would die because there will be nothing to extract, and they will get pissed and kill me. I sighed, looking down. We were about a mile up, and from what I saw, not to far from where they extract the tailed beasts. I shivered, knowing the end could be soon.
I spoke up, because curiosity got the best of me. "What the hell is your name anyways?" I inquired, sitting up and staring at me. He looked at me like I had grown two heads. "If I'm gonna die, I might as well do something fun before then." I added. That seemed to satisfy him, and he responded.
"I'm Deidara, yeah." He smirked. We landed right after the words his mouth. He grabbed both of my small writs in the single hand he had left and pinned them behind my back, pushing me foreword. Apparently, everyone else had somehow got the memo, because people stood all around on giant hands. I scratch that, I was in a whole room of dudes. I saw only one other girl, and she was part of the process trying to kill me. Great.
They were all rainbow-holographic, excluding Deidara, and some guy with red hair. I wondered where the puppet guy had gone, but noticed a spot missing. Sakura and Lady Chiyo must have beat him. A man with a deep voice and odd eyes spoke up as Deidara pushed me to the center and jumped into his place.
"Wonderful Deidara. You have succeeded in capturing the nine tails." I scoffed at this. Nine tails my ass. Naruto would never get caught... Like I did. "We shall now begin the three day process of extracting the tailed beast." The man looked down to me, as figures around me sighed in dismay. I would hate it too if I had to stand around for three days. Lucky for them though, they didn't have to.
They did the hands signs quickly, and I looked down, stiffing a giggle. Something should be happening now I suppose, because the man who spoke before had stopped everyone, and was now looking down upon me.
"What are you, girl?" He questioned.
"I'm not the nine tails I can tell you that." I smirked, looking up to him. I knew better, but hey, I knew I was going to die too. So why the hell not?
He frowned, but spoke once more. "You are no ordinary ninja." I paled. Could he tell I was a miko?
"I think, you're crazy." I lied. He smirked, that's never a good sign. He raised his fist to me, and I blocked it by making a barrier around my self, bad idea. He knew something like that was going to happen, and was a few feet away in a matter of seconds. The occupants were surprised by my power. No ninja could do that anything like that with out hands signs first.
"Well, you won't find out." I crossed my arms, and looked away. I would much rather die than let the enemy know my secret.
"I have a feeling I know." I new voice spoke. A tall figure jumped down. He didn't have a cloak and I could scarcely see a cloth covering his mouth. The rainbow-holographic stuff was quite odd. He looked down to me. His eyes showed no emotion. I tried to hide my fear as he stared me down.
"Stand." He commanded. I slowly rose, a deep scowl set on my face. "She looks a bit young but she could be a priestess." If at all possible, I paled more. And I was already pale in the first place.
"Well?" The first man looked at me to confirm the statement.
I contemplated weather to tell the truth. If I did, then what would they do to me? If not, they would they kill me? Maybe I could run when they all were shocked... "Yes..." I spoke lowly, finding the ground awfully interesting. I looked up for a moment to see the man smiling.
"Deidara, bring the miko back to the base with you." Was all he said before vanishing, everyone else with the same rainbow-holographic manner as well. Deidara jumped down, and the other red haired guy as well. I sighed, knowing I was stuck with these two.
Okay, not completely new... How about improved? I'm simply rewriting an old story called love the enemy. This will be way better, trust me. Well, review follow... Enjoy!
