Suki: Finally! You've been writing this story forever, but you finaly got it on Well that's because I just figured out how to get stories on here yesterday... ha ha.
Jiro: God, it took you long enough.
Lizzy: Hey, shut up! I haven't been using this wepsite at all until a while ago when I found a bunch of stories that I started reading. So, yeah. Deal with it.
Suki: Well, at least we got to tell a tiny bit about our story on the other story that your working on.
Lizzy: Yeah! So, Jiro, be satisfied. -sticks out tounge at Jiro-
Jiro: grr... whatever. Lets start, already.
Chapter 1: Suki Homaku introduced.
"Come" came a voice, and 2 swift jumps were heard to all those around, which was no one.
"Is this the place?" came the same voice's whisper as they approached a house, out of view.
"Of course!! I've never been wrong before!" came the reply. They quickly hid in the shadows as a door opened.
"Suki! Don't forget to bring in that box from the yard!" a voice yelled after a young girl that was leaving the house.
"Ok!" She yelled back. The two in the shadows watched as Suki brought the box back inside, came back out and left. They followed her and jumped down in front of her. She stared at them. Their faces were hidden and they didn't have their headbands on, so she had no clue who they were (not that she would anyway.)
"What do you want??" She asked, getting ready just in case they would attack her.
Without a word, both sprinted away into the shadows and back to their village. They only stopped when they reached the door of a small building. They entered and, without a word, walked straight through to the other side, where they turned to stairs. At the bottom, they reached a long hallway, which they went all the way down to the last door, and knocked.
"Enter" said a yawning voice. The first man put his hand on the door knob. "But only," the voice continued, having finished yawning. They held their breath "If you have the information we need." They let out silent sighs of relief and entered the room. The walls were white, but from the dim lighting it looked gray. It had always been a very gloomy room. Or at least since they had claimed the house as theirs, so many years ago. The man who had sent them on their mission was standing in the middle of the room, in front of a table, waiting for them. This was Akiyama Takahashi. Their "leader". They entered and immediately bowed.
"Do you have the information we need?" Akiyama asked, his voice smooth as silk.
"Of course! Do you think we would have even come back if I didn't?" asked the second man. Akiyama's eyes lowered into a deep glare. He pointed to a piece of paper and a sketch pencil on the desk in front of him.
"Get started, Haru," he sneered, and left the room.
"You've got to be more careful, Haru!" said the first man as Haru sat at the desk and started sketching a picture. "Be more patient! He could annihilate you in a single hit!" the man sighed and leaned against the desk.
"Hey! Watch it, Kisho!" Haru said, trying to erase the line Kisho made him make across the paper. He sighed, crumpled up the paper, and tossed it to the side. "Now I have to start over..." He said, getting colored pencils out of the desk.
"Wow... I don't know how you do that, Haru! It looks just like a photograph of her..." Kisho said when Haru finished it.
"Well," sighed Haru, "Lets bring it to him."
"Suki-Chan!!! Your here!" a girl squealed when she opened the door to find her friend standing there. "Come in!" Nozomi said.
"Whoa! Nozomi-chan!!" Suki yelled as she got pulled by the arm right into Nozomi's house.
"It's defiantly a good thing you came later, rather than sooner, Suki-chan!"
"Huh?"
"My cousins were here, along with their nosy parents, Or my aunt and Uncle. They always want to see every new move i come up with, along with how far I've gotten with the old ones! They teach me a new move every time they come, i guess that's good... New clan moves every other month..." Nozomi shook her head in disbelief.
Suki smiled.
"Don't worry about it! Hey, if you want, I'll help you out..." Nozomi looked up at Suki.
"Oh, will you, Suki-chan??? That would help so much! Since you have much much more control of your chackra than i do. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU, SUKI!!!" Nozomi yelled, hugging Suki. Suki didn't agree with the opinion.
"Heh heh..."
"Ok. We have to start with Chakra control again."
"But... We started with that last time!"
"You'll never become a genine if you cant control your Chakra, Nozomi-chan! Now concentrate."
"Yes... Yes this is perfect, Haru!" Akiyama said, looking over the picture. "Perfect! All the details and everything. Now all we have to do is wait until her true power actually start to show. At the moment she happens to be Chunine level, even though she inst even a Genine yet... Yes... This plan is perfect."
"Who will we send to get her?"
"When the time comes, we will send the ones stronger than her. Right now that is just about everyone, since she doesn't know many techniques yet. But when the time comes, she will be much more powerful! Perhaps powerful enough to fight me... And lose, of course, but not by much. If I ever have to end up fighting her, I will not kill her... No... we need Suki Homaku."
"Good! Good! Now try concentrating your chakra while doing the hand symbols..." Suki instructed Nozomi. Nozomi did the hand symbols and an ice clone formed next to her. "Good! You'll defiantly pass tomorrows test!" Suki said with a wide smile, yet sad eyes.
"You think so??" Nozomi asked.
"Of course!" Suki said.
"Then why do you look so sad?" Suki's smile faded as quickly as a blink.
"Huh?"
"Suki-Chan!" Nozomi's mother called from the house. "It's just about time! You should be heading home or you wont make it in time!"
"Ok!" Suki called back. "Bye, Nozomi!"
"Good Bye, Suki! And thanks for the help!"
"Only a few minutes late..." Suki thought as she walked up the path to the front door of her house. "Will it matter?"
"Suki-chan! Why are you late?" Suki's mother asked.
"I'm sorry mother... I left late! Please forgive me!" Suki said, bowing to her mother. She felt a hand on her head and looked up.
"Don't worry, Suki. Your not too late. We were just a little worried. Hurry to dinner, now."
Suki hurried to the dinner table where everyone was already waiting. They watched her and when Mrs. Homaku sat down everyone began to eat.
After dinner Suki was told to go off, that she had been working hard training and she didn't need to help with the dishes, that her younger brother would instead.
"Oh, and cousin Hiroshi is coming tomorrow, so be prepared" Suki stopped.
"Hiroshi???" She said faintly. "Hiroshi?!??!" she nearly yelled.
"Yes, yes, now go on." her mother said smiling. Suki bowed and ran off to the backyard. As she expected, her older brother was there.
"Jiro, Please help! Train me, ok?" Suki said as she ran. Jiro turned to look at Suki and smirked.
"Sure thing, Suki."
"Ok. You have to beat my score! Got it?" Jiro instructed Suki.
"Yes!" Suki nodded.
"Ok then lets start." Jiro got out 8 kunis, putting one on each finger so quickly that it looked like they had already been there. Suki did the same. "Now, I've set up 8 targets. I've been practicing this for a while and i still don't have all of them down, so I'm sure you wont." Jiro was excited, but you couldn't tell it in his voice. He had always wanted to compete against Suki just to see how badly he could beat her, but she had never wanted to.
But this was different. He knew he would beat her, no doubt about it. Suki nodded, thinking she wouldn't beat him either. She always thought she was worse than nearly anyone. No one could convince her.
"Alright. You ready?" Suki nodded. Jiro ran up and with two quick movements got on 7 targets, but not getting them in the middle. Suki looked at him, knowing now that she couldn't beat him. She sighed but tried anyway. She ran forward, jumped in the air, crossed her arms across her chest, and, spinning, threw the Kunis one at a time. She only got 6, but they landed right in the middle. She landed on her feet but fell to the floor. Jiro just stared at her in disbelief.
"How... did... you..." he muttered, feeling ashamed that she was much better than him.
"I lost!!!" Suki practically yelled. "See? Thats why you need to train me! You got 7, but i only got 6!" Suki sighed and buried her face in her hands. Jiro looked very surprised.
"But, Suki... What do I need to do?"
"Train me!"
"How?" Jiro asked, making Suki look up.
"Help me learn techniques. Help me learn how to use new ones. Help... Just... Help... Please?" Suki asked. Jiro sighed.
"Fine. But I'm going to get father to help also." He said hastily.
"Huh? Why?" Suki asked.
"I just am. Stay here and practice your techniques."
"Father... Suki and me had a contest to see who could get on the most targets." Jiro said to his father. He turned around and looked his son in the face.
"You didn't lose, did you, Jiro?"
"Well i got 7 and she got 6, but i didn't get any of them right in the center as she did."
"How many did she get in the center?"
"All of them, father. I'm ashamed that she beat me, yet she thinks I won and wans me to train her." Jiro said, shaking his head. "Is she better than me, father?"
"What are you talking about? Of course not. I'll train her. You go get help from Daisuke with your aiming skills. You'll beat her next time." Jiro nodded and ran off.
"Father? Where is Jiro? I thought both of you were helping me?"
"No, your brother had to go to Daisuke's. Let us start. How many Ice Clones can you make, Suki?"
"I haven't ever counted before." Suki said. She started making the hand signs and soon 10 clones appeared. She counted them. "Looks like ten to me... Is that good?"
"Yes. It's very good for your level. Have you been given any tests lately?"
"Yes sir." Suki said, her head dropping.
"What were your scores?"
"I only got 98 and 99 on the 2 we've had..."
"Now, now, why do you look so ashamed? Thats great! Your brother only had in the 80s when he was your age! And they were low 80s at that! Be glad, your doing great!"
"Then why is Jiro so much better than me!??" Suki demanded.
"Because he is older. He has had much more experience. He's not that much better than you, anyway. Be great full that your this good at such a young age, Suki-chan!"
"Father, fight me. Learn how weak I am by fighting me."
"No, Suki-chan. If you are going to fight anyone, fight Jiro. You are not yet strong enough to even leave a scratch on me. Your brother can't yet, either." This made Suki angry, even though she knew he was right. She ran towards him at full speed while getting out a Kuni. She was very very fast. He caught her just in time, but there was a foot long scratch across his arm and it was bleeding. He stared at her in amazement.
"It's not like I didn't see that coming." he thought to himself. "Suki..." he muttered then cleared his throat. Suki's eyes filled with tears.
"Father! I'm sor-" but her father covered her mouth and shook his head, smiling.
"You are much stronger and faster than your brother, but don't tell him I said that. Come, I will teach you our clan's first technique and the first clan technique that you will learn."
So Suki followed her father through the house and to the roof.
"I will teach it to you here. Your the second one I've taught this to. The first one was your brother."
"Jiro?" Suki asked, but her father shook his head. This confused Suki. She only had two brothers, Jiro and, (her younger brother), Saburo.
"It's not important which brother. This is called the Ice Form Jutsu." And with that, he made 7 extremely quick hand signs. Ice formed into an ice flower, which he gave to Suki. "I can change ice into any shape with this jutsu." Ice formed into a giant hand, which picked him up and then put him back down on the roof. "This, you will not use until you become a genene, remember that. I will teach you now, but you wont use it until then."
"Suki! Do you think I'll pass the examine?"
"I'm sure of it, Nozomi!" Suki said. She knew she couldn't pass, but she was sure Nozomi could.
"Suki, I'm sure you will also! You'll do much better than me!" but Suki just shook her head.
"Quiet down, Everyone!" Diasuki yelled over everyone's voices. The room fell silent, except for a couple of people snickering. "Hideaki! Arata!" They looked up. "Alright. Were having our exam today, as everyone knows. Everybody get down here and form a line!" One by one everyone attempted to make an ice clone. Finally it was Nozomi's turn. The test was to make 3 clones. Nozomi just barely made 3. Suki walked to the front of the room next.
"Lets see it, Suki!" Diasuki said, smiling. Suki made all the right hand signs and 20 clones formed.
Suki stared at them. "I fail." She said simply and sat down at her desk. The clones disappeared.
"Suki-Chan," Diasuki said as everyone left for the day, "Stay here. I need to speak to you." Suki looked at her feet but stayed where she was. After everyone left, Diasuki offered Suki a chair and she sat down. "Suki you didn't fail. But I will help you out a little bit. All you need to do is concentrate on the number of clones you want to make. If you don't concentrate on that, then a random number will appear. Ok? Go on. Oh, and tell Jiro that he needs to meet up with his team. They have a mission."
"Jiro! Go meet your team! You have a mission!" Suki said to her brother the moment she got home. "Where's Hiroshi??"
"Not here yet. Thanks, bye." and he left. Suki let out a long sigh.
"I'll just train for a little longer until he gets here." She thought to herself, walking onto the roof. She slowly imitated the hand signs her father showed her and concentrated her chakura on the ice. It formed into a very deformed tree, which looked like a giant weird formed balloon.
"Suki, is that a balloon?" Her father asked as he came to the roof.
"No... It's suposed to be a tree..." she said. He laughed lightly.
"Don't worry, it is going to take a while for you to get the hang of it. For now, practice the speed of your hand signs."
Suki nodded. In 10 minuets she had it down only a little slower than her father.
"Try it again, and really concentrate on the form. You should be able to get this soon, this is the easiest Jutsu." he said. Suki nodded and concentrated. She formed a giant cat shaped ice figure. It let out a great roar and purr.
"Good lord! Thats fantastic! And in such a short time too! Amazing, Suki! You truly are a genius!!!" Suki blushed.
The cat and "tree" disappeared and they went downstairs, where Jiro was.
"I thought you had a mission, Jiro?" Suki asked.
"Yes. But it was so simple that we finished already. We just had to protect some guy until we reached the next village. You know, its not far away at all... What were you doing?"
"Training! Dad is teaching me to-"
"I'm teaching her to concentrate more." he cut in. She watched Jiro as he left and then looked up at her father.
"Wha-"
"Don't tell your brother," he whispered "I haven't taught him yet... And he's the jealous type."
