Edit: Rating upped from T-M, safety reasons, ((Darn admins))
Edit(Ch.1-19): Cleaned up a few areas that bothered me, and added some new content. Read carefully.
Chapter Revison: 1-4
Hello There! Since I highly doubt anyone will give the filler girls any love. (Aside from a few people) I decided to not only to write Fanfiction, but also write Fanfiction directed towards filler girls. (Especially Hokuto) I mean they are already better than most of the girls in the canon (no offence)
Important Note: This story takes place during ep. 183, though I do recommend watching the whole arc. (178-183)
Important Note II: I do not own Naruto; if I did he would have a ridiculously large harem.
However with the power of creative writing anything goes! (Fortunately or Unfortunately)
'-_-
On with the show!
Diamond in the Sky: Chapter 1
Of all the things Hokuto had ever witnessed in her short time as a genin, nothing could have prepared her this.
Akahoshi the Dupty-Hoshikage, had just forcibly infused himself with the star, which was not only the source that empowered every Star shinobi's charka network, but it was also a symbol of pride. Pride not only reserved for those who were fortunate enough to don headbands but also to patrons of Bear Country.
And this man, no this monster used everyone for his own evil ambitions. Even her friends became tangled in Akahoshi's web of deceit. Sumaru, he and his mother paid for their so called "treachery" in blood. If the flames that were now shrouding the training room meant anything. Also there was…
'Mizura!' Her mind screamed.
Although training in close proximity with the meteor can forcibly strengthen one's own chakra, it was not without its drawbacks. The alien chakra would also eat away at the body; rendering it useless for any real practical fighting, Mizura's condition was proof enough of star's tainted effects.
Even so, the boy had managed to block a crossbow bolt that was fired at Hokuto, moments before Akahoshi's fusion began.
Huddling over her fallen friend's form, she glared at the monstrosity before her with all the hate she could muster. After all, no one hurts her friends and gets away with it, damn it!
Akahoshi sneered at her; yeah he had the gall to sneer the bastard!
Hokuto felt hot tears trail down her face. She hated the look Akahoshi was currently giving her; it was the same satisfied look he gave to someone when they failed to perform as he phrased "simple tasks". Like wrestle a bear, or complete the star training; without passing out, or even all those going on all those retrieval missions for the Bear daimyo's wife. To reclaim her lost cat Koren.
How could she bring herself to hate someone this much? To hate someone so much it hurts, to want them to die a slow, gruesome death? Is she a monster for having such thoughts? At the moment, Hokuto could not answer her own questions. She was too consumed by her own thoughts that her ears were beginning to fail her and Akahoshi's next few sentences became inaudible to the girl.
The silence was unbearable. Hokuto could see his mouth moving, but no sound came. She could also see that his laughter had also escaped her hearing as well.
With or without hearing, the young kunoichi was valiantly failing to keep her to guard up. She was losing her resolve. After all Akahoshi had won, hadn't he? He had all of the star's power... Even with the help of Naruto and the others the outcome will still remain the same. Hokuto glanced up to fallen orange clad shinobi in front of her.
"Naruto-san I'm sorry, but it seems that even your will of fire has diminished." She whispered. "I wish you didn't get involved in this village's affairs. If only I could…"
To her amazement Naruto slowly but surely rose up again, only to be smacked back down into the dust once more. "Oh Naruto…" She sighed wistfully, as she continued to stare at the bewhiskered youth. "I wish…I wish you knew…when to give up."
Silence, how could it be so peaceful yet so cruel at the same time? The soundless-ness seemed almost boundless. Nothing could penetrate its barrier, not even a loud individual like Naruto Uzumaki break it.
Hokuto allowed herself a small sad smile at that, as she noticed Akahoshi making a beeline for him. Not wanting to see how it would end for Naruto she threw her vision downward, not noticing the purple charka that was beginning to drape around him, or that her hearing was starting to return to her.
She closed her eyes awaiting the inevitable; however to her surprise…
The barrier was broken.
"….DATTEBAYO!" Naruto exclaimed happily, as he was getting his second wind. With the help of Sumaru's mother there was no way in hell he would lose to this asshole, not after everything this poser had done to the Star Village. Akahoshi just went too far. He had used the people of this land, all for the sake to obtain the star's power to become even greater than the Five Great Elemental nations?
Hah!
More like he used his people in order to turn himself into some power-hungry-freaky-weirdo.
'He almost reminds me of Mizuk...'
Naruto's glare intensified, as face hardened for unknown reasons.
With a new found resolve, Naruto kicked himself off the ground and into the air, unknowingly capturing a startled gaze from a certain freckled girl in the process. Then he performed an all too familiar hand seal.
"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!"
Who knew Naruto had a twin? Nevertheless Naruto was far from done, as both he and his clone gathered charka that began spiraling in one another's hands.
"Why!?" Growled Akahoshi, as he readied his Kujaku Dragon for the offensive as Naruto and Natsuhi flew towards him. Not willing to give in just yet, Akahoshi's amethyst dragon unleashed its enthusiastic torrent.
"Rasengan!" Naruto roared as he met the attack head on. "Come on!" He plowed through the fire, through the flames and through dragon's gaping jaws to finally meet his mark; Akahoshi's chest!
"Ggaaahhhh!" The pressure of the jutsu was too much as the sphere continued to bore into the imposter. The earth began to tremble as the star reacted violently with Naruto's jutsu, thus shattering it; leaving a horrible explosion in its wake. The shockwaves whipped Naruto around in a whirlpool-like manner, before he was flung haphazardly en route for Mizura and Hokuto.
To Hokuto's credit she didn't really have time to react to the unexpected attack. After all, the academy only trained her to dodge so much, shurikens, kunai, heck even a few basic ninjutsu. How to Dodge a Blond Missile was never taught. Ironically that was not at all true. She just happened to be sick on the day that particular topic was discussed: IN DEPTH.
Naruto's body slammed hard into her; sending them both rolling into a crumpled heap. Coincidentally, Mizura remained unscathed where he lay, oddly enough...
"Oouch..." Hokuto groaned from her backside as she tried to sit up, only to find that she was unable to do so. 'That really hurt. Wait, why can't I move?' Suddenly realizing something heavy must had fallen on top of her during the crash.
So she did what anyone else would have done, she looked down to see what was obstructing her actions. What Hokuto did next would leave some people wondering if the girl was part chameleon. What else could explain how her face changed from white to deep shade of red in an instant? Then again, most people probably never had Naruto's face wedged firmly between their breasts before either.
((Stares at the first chapter.)) Ya know something? I never intentionally had the intent of the ending this chapter that way. ((Stares some more.)) Damn…I'm such a pervert. Oh well, what's done is done and to be honest I'm glad things turned out the way they did. I wonder what happens next…
Uh, review if you like.
Later...
