Wanted to do something very horror/bloody/psychotic/angst-y for awhile, and this materialized into my head. ^_^
This fan fiction was influenced by music by the band Dope, Drowning Pool, Shinedown, The Birthday Massacre,and many others, this awesome video game for the Xbox that my brother used to play, and lack of motivation for my other works of fan fiction, which will be worked on... ^_^'
Disclaimer: I no own Naruto or the other characters...
After waiting for about two hours, which is the average amount of time their sensei takes, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were just told by their silver-haired jounin sensei, Kakashi, that he was going to file the report for the mission from the Land of Waves. After some bickering, fantasizing, rejection, and some running, Naruto called out Moegi, Udon, and Konohamaru's square 'fake rock disguise', which in turn, caused even more insanity and chaos before Sakura came over. After some mindless words, Sakura punched Naruto in the face, sending him into the fence, which caused some angry shouts, more mindless words, getting the stuffing beat out of them, and even more mindless words, before Sakura ran at full speed after them, the look in her eyes promising a long, painful death, before Konohamaru crashed into a male wearing all black, purple war paint, and carrying something wrapped in a lot of bandages on his back.
"Oi, watch it kid!" The older male said loudly, the blonde female near him with four quad-ponytails, teal eyes, and a long, but thin object strapped to her back.
Konohamaru, being too much like Naruto, picked a fight with the older male, not experienced enough to pick his fights, which caused the older male to become more aggravated and grabbed the younger by his scarf and lift him in the air, causing a pained grunt from Konohamaru.
"Kankuro, put the poor brat down! You know you'll pay for it later..." The blonde female said, but the male didn't put him down, despite the apologies from Sakura and shouts from Naruto.
"Nah, I feel like messing with these guys before hegets here, so let me have my fun Temari..." Kankuro said to the blonde, whom was now identified as Temari, who merely shrugged and kept some distance from him, as to appear to not be associated with him.
Konohamaru began to struggle out of Kankuro's grip, but he couldn't break loose, and after some more shouting, attempted attacks from Naruto, and panicked pleading, Kankuro gave a dark threat and drew his fist back. Right before Kankuro's fist was about to make painful contact with Konohamaru's face, multiple dull-point, four centimeter toothpicks were lodged into the exposed skin of Kankuro's fingers, wrist, and arm, some lodged deeper than the others. This caused Kankuro to release Konohamaru from his grip, but before Konohamaru hit the ground, someone swooped in, grabbed him, and was now standing in between Kankuro and the two leaf-village genin and leaf-village academy students with Konohamaru in her arms before she put Konohamaru on the ground before he ran back to Naruto and his friends.
"I'm pretty sure attacking defenseless leaf-village academy students is a little below your status of a Sunagakure genin, but then again, bullies always pick on someone not as powerful as them to make them feel good about themselves..." Konohamaru's savior said, her voice sweet and calm, but strong and confident as well.
Her orange hair was long, reaching the middle of her back, with the exception of the sweeping bang that covered her right eye and upper cheek, even though a black eye-patch like cloth covered her right eye. Her facial features were proportional, her one visible eye, which can only be described as a pupil-less amethyst orb, seemed to have a ghostly glow about them. Her lightly-colored skin, that almost made her look albino, had a eerie glow to it as well, almost like the glow of a full moon on a cloudless night; her black, short-sleeve hoodie, black ninja headband with the symbol of Kusagakure on it around her neck, black, baggy ninja pants, black waist pouch, dark blue shuriken and kunai holster on her right thigh, black sleeve-like accessories that were held in place by small, silver belts slightly above her elbows, white bandages that covered both her calves, and black ninja sandals only enhanced the eerie luster of her skin tone.
Her confident smile changed into a mocking smirk as she continued with, "And to bully the Sandaime Hokage's grandson makes your crime even worse, Baka-kun~!"
By then, Kankuro had pulled out all of the toothpicks, not as much blood and damage as he expected, and his rage now at spiking to new levels as Temari was trying to keep her laughter and surprise in, but was having some difficulty. Sasuke was in the tree, ready to throw a small rock at Kankuro's hand, amazed by how quickly everything happened; for if he even blinked, he wouldn't have just barely seen how the orange-haired girl threw the toothpicks with dead-on accuracy and move so fast that any untrained eyes wouldn't have been able to see it.
The orange-haired female then completely disregarded Kankuro as she said to Naruto, Sakura, Konohamaru, and his friends, "I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier, but since now that the Kankuro problem was dealt with, I can now do so. My name is Asuka Fujimoto, I'm twelve years old, and I'm going to be thirteen on the second of July, which is two days from now. My blood-type is A positive, I enjoy sweets and candies, and I enjoy many things and have a lot of hobbies~"
Kankuro was getting more and more agitated from being purposely ignored, and was about to attack Asuka using the large thing on his back before a dark, lower pitched, almost scratchy-sounding voice said, "Back off Kankuro, you'll become an embarrassment to our village if you keep it up. We didn't come here to waste time..."
Everyone, including Sasuke but excluding Asuka, were surprised as they looked over and saw a male about the same age as Team Seven with blood-red hair, light, icy teal-blue eyes that were surrounded by thick, black insomnia lines, wearing all black, and had a large gourd held in place by brown and white shoulder strap, his ninja headband tied to said shoulder strap, standing on the underside of a branch connected to the same tree Sasuke.
Temari and Kankuro immediately tensed, seeming fearful of the red-head, as Kankuro said skittishly, opposite to how he was a moment ago, "G-gaara... Hey listen, they were the ones who started it..."
Asuka then said in an evilly-sweet manner, "Actually, you over-reacted to what Konohamaru-kun said, but instead of being mature about it, you let your temper get the best of you, and were about to take it out on an academy student who couldn't properly defend himself. Long story short, it's all your fault."
As Kankuro and Temari were having a mini-panic attack, Gaara glanced at Asuka, which, for some reason, caused Shukaku to stir lightly inside Gaara.
'There's something inhuman and evil about that girl, and I like it. She would be interesting to keep around.'
'You actually want her alive?'
'That, and I'd like you to keep an eye on her; The smell of blood coats her body's scent like a natural perfume, meaning she must kill very often, and in large quantities...'
'Hn, interesting...'
"Please ignore their bad manners, they will be dealt with later..." Gaara said coldly, attempting to be polite.
'That guy, Gaara, has been looking at that girl Asuka for a long time...'Sasuke thought with some unease.
'She was able to to throw dull toothpicks hard and fast enough to pierce his skin and move so quickly that any civilian would have completely missed it...'Gaara thought with some slight intrigue, before sand swirled around him and he teleported next to Temari.
"Let's go, we already wasted time from fooling around here..." Gaara said, before the three started to leave.
Sakura was about ask something, but she cut off when Asuka said, "The Sand Siblings are genin, they have border passes, and they're here for the Chuunin exams, so no need to get concerned Sakura-san."
As the Sand Siblings kept going, very confused as to when Asuka learned that fact, Sasuke then inquired, "Oi, guy with the gourd. What's your name?"
Gaara turned to face Sasuke as he said, "Sabaku no Gaara, but why ask my name when you haven't given your own..."
Sasuke scoffed lightly before he said, "The name's Uchiha Sasuke."
A stare-down started between Gaara and Sasuke, but it was interrupted by the yell of, "Asuka-san!"
She, along with the others, turned to see a woman in her mid-twenties lightly jog towards them. She had chestnut-colored hair and hetero-chromatic eyes, one sky-blue and the other ruby-red, her jounin outfit was very similar to jounin from Konoha, but the main part of the outfit was a very dark-green, which at night would look black, and a slightly lighter green jounin vest.
A relieved expression crossed the female Grass jounin's face as she said, "There you are Asuka-san! You had me worried for a moment..."
Asuka's demeanor immediately became cold as she said, "Don't act so familiar with me Miroku-sempai, especially since my original jounin sensei was put on a very important A-ranked mission. You were assigned to merely be my chaperon for the Chuunin exams and that is all."
Everyone was very surprised by Asuka's complete one-eighty in her personality, but Miroku merely smiled awkwardly as she said, "I know Asuka-san, but I needed to find you so I could give you the key to our hotel and the application form for the Chuunin exams..."
Asuka was quiet for a few seconds before she said with some guilt in her voice, "Sorry for snapping at you and saying those nasty things. Thank you for taking the time to find me."
Miroku smiled meekly as she handed Asuka the room key, the address of the hotel, and exam application and said, "No problem Asuka-san. Would you like to go to the hotel room or explore the village a little more?"
Asuka nodded silently before disappearing in a flurry of wind and blades of grass, after which it became dead-silent, but Miroku still had a small smile on her face.
With much curiosity in the air, Miroku answered the unasked question with, "I don't know the details, but I do know that Asuka-san had always distrusted anyone that's at least eight years older than her, with the exception of her jounin sensei, who saved Asuka-san from whatever caused her so much pain and brought her to the village..."
And with that, Miroku disappeared in the same manner as Asuka, leaving the genin behind, Konohamaru and his friends wandered off before Miroku appeared, thoughts heavy with curiosity.
It was the day before the first part of the Chuunin exams and Gaara was bored out of his mind, having already explored all of Konoha, made note of multiple areas in and out of the village that held his interest, and was bored with training, which was finished for the day. He used his sand to teleport far outside of Konoha near a small village that had no ninja affiliation and was peaceful, one of the many small villages he found, with reasonable distance from any ninja village, where he kills some unfortunate soul to sedate his blood-lust. After luring in and killing an unsuspecting person, he was about to leave the village and go back to Konoha when he heard screams of terror and smelt blood and body fluids. He teleported to the top of nearby building, making sure to stay out of sight, taking in the scene below.
Many people, men and women, children and elderly, were being killed off; the 'person' had hands that were pitch-black, had four finger hands, and metallic claws, which ripped the bodies in half easily. The hands changed back quickly, but the 'person's' right arm from the elbow down transformed into a whip-like weapon, killing people who were out of range of the claws, blood splattering everywhere. The 'person' changed their arm back, but their body convulsed slightly before they plunged their arms into the ground and these pitch-black tentacles with blood-red looking patches impaled the remaining people through the chest-cavity, killing them almost instantly. Gaara watched in awe as blood went everywhere, creating a shower of the crimson liquid, but instead of bodies skewed about, all of them were absorbed into the murderous 'person'.
The 'person', who had the hood of their hoodie up, pulled it down to reveal long orange hair, before she said, "I know you're there Gaara-san, you can come out now."
Gaara jumped down from the building, now standing next to her as he said, "I had a feeling you were different Asuka-san, but I would've never figured it was this..."
Asuka smiled sadly as said, "I know you have a bijuu, Gaara-san. I can tell by your aura, your demon having a darker, eviler color than your own."
Gaara's eyes widened as she continued with, "My genetic structure was changed into this before I turned six. My right eye was a transplant from my cousin who was my first real friend who had a strong blood-line limit when I was four, but since my genetic structure was altered, I can use its power without any physical side-effects..."
Gaara, with his curiosity getting the better of him, asked, "How are you-"
"Able to keep my 'human' personality with my nearly insatiable blood-lust? I merely kill one person per day until I have to go on a major killing-binge to keep myself stable, but every once in a while I have a mental break-down so it balances out..." Asuka said like it was the most normal thing in the world, making Gaara's non-existent eyebrows rise as he looked at her in a surprised curiosity.
Asuka smiled lightly before she continued with, "Music and other things help keep mental stability, but every once in awhile I have a breakdown..."
Despite the smile on her face, the tone of her was low, the sound was dark as she said, "And I know of your bijuu, Shukaku, so we both know each other's secret. So, lets keep them a secret from the others, ne?"
Gaara nodded, very surprised how all of this was happening so quickly, before Asuka smiled genuinely as she said, "Thanks Gaara-san! I had a feeling I could trust you with my one of my secrets!"
She then walked up to Gaara and lightly kissed him on the cheek, before she happily continued with, "See you tomorrow Gaara-san!"
And with that, Asuka disappeared in a swirl of grass blades, leaving Gaara to stand there, very confused and a light-pink blush on his cheeks. He tentatively touched the cheek that Asuka lightly pecked, eyes still wide like a deer in the headlights, before the corners of his mouth twitched upward in a very tiny smile. Well, that is, before Shukaku ruined whatever warm feeling Gaara was having by speaking.
'Damn, she's just as demonic as we are, if not more so... Let's make her our mate.'Shukaku said, wiggling his eyebrows in a perverse manner at the end of his statement.
Gaara shook his head violently, his face regaining it's emotionless expression, as he replied with, 'I see her as a trusted person and nothing else, and she probably sees me the same way.'
Shukaku rolled his eyes, knowing what his host was truly feeling, before he said, 'Fine, believe what you want, but if she falls for someone else, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life.'
With that, Shukaku went to the back of Gaara's mind, leaving him with the demon's words floating around his head, before teleporting back to the apartment where he and the rest of his 'team' were staying. After lightly regarding his sensei and siblings, he went to his room to meditate, his pseudo-dreams filled with blood, guts, and killing many with Asuka killing off the rest, laughing manically while doing so.
Yeah, kinda slow at first, but it will get better!
Please Review! :P ^_^
