Return Of The Lost Heiress – Written by 10ShizukaYuukiMistress10
It was a late night in Sunagakure's desert. The cold wind blew past their faces, pushing their long robes in an Eastern direction. Each person bore a different kimono, the first had a pure white and stainless robe, nearly radiating a heavenly glow from light which was reflected by the moon.
The other wore an aquamarine green gown, and stood in the centre of the trio. He was positioned slightly more in front of the other two, which made it seem as though he was posing as their protector.
The last person in the squad stood slightly further away from them. He wore a bandana except the cloth was longer and wrapped around the back of his head and hooked over, covering his forehead and eyes. The only facial feature which could be distinguished was his nose.
After a long moment of silence, the bandana wearing ninja spoke. "Sunagakure is close." He stated, then turned to the young lady wearing pure white robes.
"If my calculations are correct, we should arrive in one night. What is your ambition, Lady Mei?" He asked, except his emotionless tone had no traces of question, it sounded more like a statement as always.
She purposely didn't bother to acknowledge his words and continued gazing in a deep trance at the landscape of Sunagakure's void desert. The brunette had lovely long, flowing hair and she wore a shinobi hairband. It bore a special symbol for those of royal blood. The symbol was a huge spiral with three smaller ones around it, seeming to pose as guards to the larger spiral.
"Have I not already asked you to simply address me as Mei? I do indeed find it rather unpleasant having to be called princess from time to time. If you refer to me as princess again, I won't respond to you, Sir Oboro."
Said ninja in reply brought out a scroll in his weapons pouch and formed a flash hand sign.
"Release!"
When the smoke cloud faded from his summoning, it had been replaced with a lovely, golden carriage. "Get in and don't leave…" Oboro ordered firmly and straight to the point. "… there are a few matters I must deal with, I must leave now." It was a good thing that she could only see his nose among the layers of material on his face. He was wearing a rather bitter expression, more in annoyance towards the assassins who had been tailing them for some time now.
She waited until he'd made another hand sign and vanished from sight, before turning to the other man, who hadn't acknowledged their conversation at all.
"Jantō I'm going to assist Oboro, don't come after me." Mei turned and tried to make a hand sign but couldn't as her whole body felt paralyzed and wouldn't move an inch.
"Shadow possession jutsu complete." Jantō said, as smirk grazed his slit lips. "Aaahhh…" She said softly, in an almost devious tone.
"Without needing to steal an Uchiha's sharringan, you were able to copy another's jutsu may I assume, with the help of my forbidden scroll?" Although she already knew the answer to her own question, it never ceased to entertain her when she got a peak at his signature glare.
Jantō merely nodded, before continuing to focus on keeping the jutsu up. He'd dedicated his life to protecting Mei, even if it required great consequences. Whatever it would take to stop her, he'd gladly do out of free will.
"Do you think a jutsu of this level could really stop me?" Her comment may have been arrogant, but she was a strong kunoichi, matching up to the power of a kage.
"….If you really want to stop me, why didn't you perform the fourth Hokage's jutsu, rasengan was it?" Jantō didn't respond to her comments, he just continued to focus his attention on the jutsu. Hopefully that would give her the message that he didn't wish to engage in conversation, even if it concerned events which had occurred in other villages.
Mei didn't waste time. After a single moment, a huge blast sent earthquakes and shock waves through the desert, stretching for the distance of one kilometre. Immediately the shadow retreated back to its master, who had neeed to stumble back a little.
She only released a fraction of her chakra and the impact was enough to bring me out of comfort…
When the dust finally cleared not only had the deserts landscape changed dramatically. The air around them felt thick, and anyone walking by would have felt pressurised, maybe even thinking that the force of gravity was twice as strong.
In the centre of a huge crater stood Mei. She'd closed her eyes in deep concentration. A blazing crimson coloured light continued to rapidly radiate from her body, and reside with the sphere of chakra which she was engulfed with in.
Of course! Nobles have a different coloured chakra to the blue radiation of common shinobi.
After a few more moments, the flow of chakra steadied and became more in control. She opened her eyes to reveal two intense light violet orbs. After another moment, the scarlet radiation joined forces with the passing wind and had converted into nothing more than energy waves passing in the atmosphere.
Around her footing area, the wind scurried in circles at an alarming speed, but she ignored the after effects her chakra had delivered and resorted to approaching Jantō.
"Will you at least allow me to send Rin to keep an eye on Oboro?" Jantō gave her a cold glare, which she returned with her own penetrating stare. After a long moment of silence, finally he spoke.
"Lady Mei, are your resolves always unnecessary?" She didn't remove her eyes from his face, almost daring him to continue. "Rin's specialty does not lye within protecting; Are you aware of this?"
She sighed, turned around and stomped off – in quite an unladylike manner – towards the golden carriage which seemed to have been unaffected by her chakra's outburst.
"….But…" He began, which enlightened what little hope that had stayed hidden within Mei's being. Her heart lifted and she widened her eyes in disbelief. Had Jantō really had a change of mind? Was he reconsidering?
"… You may summon Rin to assist Oboro if you wish. I recall sensing quite a few assassins, not that I don't have faith in his abilities – the battle must be child's play through his eyes."
He then sighed out of both exhaustion and uncertainty. "You may do so if you wish; as long as it does not involve you leaving my sight."
Mei grinned madly, although she disliked being treated as a child. Well that matter could be dealt with another time.
"Summoning jutsu!"
Author Note – Can anyone guess which animal her summoning is? Dragon? Butterfly? Rabbit? Dear? Shark? xD
