Dance Of The Wolves
Chapter One
Kakashi's Niece
I don't own Naruto or Mariko. She belongs to Krakengirl. And this whole story is dedicated to her since she gave me the idea for it. Onward!
"Ok team 7, I have a surprise for you." Kakashi said behind his book.
"WHAT WHAT WHAT??!!" Naruto yelled as he began to bounce up and down.
"My niece is coming to stay with me for awhile, that and she will be part of team 7."
"You have a niece?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah. She hasn't seen me for awhile so she wants to reconnect."
Mariko was walking down a worn path as she drew closer and closer to the Leaf Village. She had black hair with sliver streaks in braid that ends at her waist. Her silver eyes looked down by her feet to see her pet wolf pup playing with a stick.
"Sayuri, stop playing around, uncle is expecting us to be there tonight." The snow white wolf with two blue streaks down her back ran up to her owner. "That's better." Mariko wore a blue shirt with long baggy sleeves that covered up her hands. The rest was skin tight and she wore a fishnet tang top over it. When you could see her hands, they were covered with black fingerless gloves. Her shorts were army green and they ended at her knees. Each pocket her shorts had were filled with senbon.
"You know, your uncle won't like the sword you have on your back."
"Ah, Sayuri, you worry to much. He won't care." Mariko sighed as she continued down the path in silence.
A few minutes later, Sayuri broke the silence. "Are you feeling all right? You seem...happier then you've been in a while."
"Just glad to see uncle." The rest of the trip went in silence. As the sun began to set, the Leaf Village could be seen. "Sayuri! We're almost there!" Mariko whispered with joy. She then began to run super fast towards the gate. Sayuri jumped up onto her owners shoulders so the little puppy wouldn't have run.
When she made to the gates, she was stopped. "We can't let Cloud ninjas in unless they have papers telling us other wise." One guard said.
"Just contact Kakashi Hatake. He'll tell you I can come in."
"Fine. We will. But if you're lying, we get to kill you."
"Whatever." Mariko said.
"You should really start caring more about things, Mariko." Sayuri whispered.
Before Mariko could reply Kakashi popped out of no where. "There's my favorite niece!" Kakashi said as Mariko ran and jumped on Kakashi.
"Silly uncle, I'm your ONLY niece!" Mariko laughed as she followed Kakashi to his apartment.
When they got to his apartment, he had some news. "Mariko, you're going to be part of team 7, and please don't start beating up my students if you get mad."
"Ok!" Mariko bounced into her new home, Sayuri right behind.
"Kakashi, do you have anything to eat?" Sayuri asked as she began sniffing around.
After everyone at, some major reconnecting went on, which includes NinjaBuster, pizza, and ice cream.
"Wake up Kakashi!" Mariko yelled in the moring.
"I never get up this early..." he mumbled.
"I don't care!" After hours of trying to make Kakashi go fast, they got out of the house, late, and they went to the bridge.
"Kakashi! YOU'RE LATE!" Saskura and Naruto yelled at the same time.
"Um, my niece didn't want to wake up this morning?" Kakashi tried while scratching the back of his head.
"LAIR!" Mariko yelled. "I'm Mariko, and I wanna spar with someone!"
"I'll battle, and win! BELIEVE IT!"Naruto yelled.
They both got into their fighting stances. Naruto then made hand signs and used a summoning jutsu. A bunch of little frogs came charging at Mariko. Mariko also made hand signs. "Lightning Fist!" She yelled as all the little frogs got fried.
"Ha. You're not that tough!" She scoffed.
"Oh yeah? Well, try this! Rasengan!"
"Whatever. Lightning Fist!" The blue of the Rasengan and the white/yellow of the Lightning Fist looked pretty when they crashed together. They both held their ground as sparks and rocks flew around the two ninjas. Mariko smirked. "Lightning Fist!" She yelled as she slammed her left hand into Naruto's stomach. He coughed up blood as his body slammed into a tree.
"Told ya I'd win!" Mariko smiled while jumping up and down.
Sakura ran over to Naruto. "Are you alright? We need a medic!" Sakura panicked while Sasuke just watched in awe as Mariko jumped about.
It took Mariko to remember that she was a medic. "Make way, medic coming through!" She yelled as she jumped in front of Naruto. Her hands glowed a purple color as she began to heal Naruto.
Kyuubi was restless. 'My sister. Your close, aren't you?' Kyuubi was pacing in his cage, his claws placing marks everywhere.
Naruto soon regained conciseness. "Yay! You're awake!" Mariko said as she hugged Naruto.
"Uhh, don't be so hard.." Naruto mumbled.
"Oops, sorry! Haha.."Mariko laughed.
"Naruto! You idiot!" Sakura yelled as she hit him on the head.
"Ahh! No hitting the injured!" Mariko shouted as she slapped Sakura's hands away, becoming mother like.
"Uh, tomorrow we have our first mission as a team of five. Training is over for the day, bye." Kakashi walked off.
"Lazy ass," Mariko mumbled as she flung Naruto over her shoulder and walked towards the hospital.
Kakashi was on time for once, only because Mariko dragged him out on time.
"Kakashi sensei, your on time!" Sakura whispered as her eyes enlarged.
"Yeah, I had to drag him over here!"
"What do we have to do?" Naruto asked, jumping up and down.
"Let's see." Kakashi began to look at a scroll. "It says that we have to deliver a scroll to the Suna to finalize our treaty."
"Yes! Lets do this!" Naruto yelled, running past the gates.
"Wait up!" Mariko yelled, trying to catch up with the hyperactive blonde.
The group made it Suna in one piece. "I'll give the scroll to the Kazekage, you kids go have fun!" Kakashi walked off, book in hand.
Mariko was coughing. "Man! It's dusty here!" She exclaimed. She began to laugh as Sayuri tried to escape all the sand.
"Hey Sasuke, wanna go on a date?" Sakura asked with high hopes.
"No."
"Hey Sakura, I'll go out with you!"
"No way!" Sakura yelled while hitting him on the head.
"Mariko." Sasuke said, making every one go silent.
"Um, yeah?"
"Wanna go out with me?" Sasuke lowered his head to hide his growing blush.
"No." Mariko turned around and walked away. Her heart was beating fast from embarrassment. Mariko's hand went down to her stomach and clutched it. 'Why does it hurt now?' She thought while looking around the dry desert.
Mariko decided to walk around randomly, while trying to keep out of Sasuke's sight. She was going past an alley way when she was pulled in.
"What's a pretty girl like you doing all alone in a place like this?" The man asked her, while pressing a kunai to her throat.
The pain in her stomach was too much as she fell to her knees. Her sliver eyes went yellow as she teeth and nails grew longer and sharper. Her ears got all pointed as she stood back up, using the wall as a supporter.
"What the-?" Was all he could say.
If anyone can understand the ninja joke and tell me what it is, I'll give you a prize. And if you do get it, you may not find it funny...but I do. And the prize is basicly what ever you want, witha few exceptions... Have fun! And, thank you Krakengirl soooooooooo much!
