Chapter 2 - Return Meetings
By ShadowUnknown
"How did you know?" Yuki said soundless as well, after hearing her plan. Leo only smiled and used her shadow clone justsu to create a bug that falls from the sky to land on them. She mouthed the plan to him one more time, and he nodded to every word. She let the bugs dropped on the men and it went according to plan, they dropped the scroll. She had the bugs to make sure that they didn't make a decoy. None of them disappeared. 'Great!' she thought surprised at how well this was going.
'Now!' she thought, and Yuki jumped to retrieve the scroll they were looking for 'Right on Que!' she thought as a smile spread across her lips. Leo turned into a dog with wings and got Yuki, staying low to the ground. "Record time, nice job Yuki." Leo said and suddenly realized something. It wasn't him! 'The scent!' she thought and quickly got the one on her back to crash into a tree and went back for Yuki.
"Damn it!" she said as she came crashing into the enemy to protect her single man team. 'He has the scroll, the one were looking for.' she thought as she blocked another attack. She used her wings to knock them to the ground, and bit a few of them in the process. 'I hope he remembers the code words, and the hand signals. I have to make sure.' she thought as she looked at Yuki, or so she would think it was him.
"It's the real me," Yuki said "Protect, your team mate at all costs. Don't leave anyone, or no one behind" Yuki said saying the secret code words, and added the hand signals, he also made it to look like he was fighting. Leo picked the real Yuki up and went straight to the sky then back down to a more secure place. "That was fun, but dangerous." Yuki said breathing hard.
"I'm sorry, I should have paid more attention. You still have the scroll? You all right? Nothing broken?" Leo started rain down some questions on Yuki about mainly him.
"Yes to the first, no to the rest." Yuki said smiling "Just a bit shaken, I thought you would have been injured." he said handing her the scroll.
"No, but a bit tired. We should rest for a bit then get a move on, were not that far from the tower." Leo said reverting back to her human form. She took the scroll and sat on look out. Yuki will have time to rest, while she would think. 'Gaara knows I have the exam, he knows that I wouldn't be there for a few days. He can see me in the finals and after this is over.' she thought as she looked around occasionally. 'No ones attacking. Wonder why.' she thought as she sensed most of the other ninjas close by, yet still staying as far away as possible.
----
Yuki and Leo started out again after their rest, Leo was in dog form running not flying. Yuki was riding Leo like a horse as they sped through the forest. 'They're still not attacking us. What is up? What's going on?' she thought as she ran, the other ninjas that were watching them last night followed close behind.
"Were almost there!" Yuki said happily hugging Leo's neck tightly. "Your a great leader!" Yuki said in her fur.
"Alright, alright already. Don't eat the fur" Leo said smiling they reached the doors and entered. "Yuki what's that?" she said looking at the writing on the wall. 'Cameras? Even the ninjas that followed are confused. Why haven't they attacked us?' she thought. 'I'm only one kid.' she thought and followed Yuki to where the large stone tablet on the wall hung.
"I don't know, do you think it's time to open the scrolls now?" Yuki asked. 'Well we got it here safely, and no one is here to collect it.' she thought.
"Yeah, we made it to our destination. It got here safely. No one got killed." Leo said. Then she took one of the scrolls from Yuki and they both opened both of the scrolls at the same time.
"Surprise!" the first examiner poped up. "Congrats again you too!" he smiled. 'What the!?' she thought and took a step back.
"I still feel like an ant compared to you two." Leo said smiling looking up at them. 'I'm so small..' she thought.
"Non sense! You totally took control of the situation. But that tree to the head really hurt." the examiner said. 'What the!?' she thought on her features showed only little shock.
"I thought he smelled familiar, good thing I went easy on you." Leo said. 'Yeah, I could have done worse. Like burn you to a crisp.' she gave a small smile to herself.
"Yuki nice job, I didn't think you had it in you. But with Leo, you make such a great team." he said. 'That's because I thought of the whole plan. I was the brains, and I attacked first.' she thought almost rolling her eyes.
"Well she explained it all simply, even though it was hard to understand at first. Plans, routes, everything. It's like she's a mastermind. A genius!" Yuki said to the examiner. She looked up at Yuki 'Okay, so your giving me all the credit? You got the scroll.' she thought and looked over to Ibiki.
"Well what ever it is wonderful job." he said and started to explain to them the next test, and the writing on the wall.
----
She sat with Gaara telling him of everything that happened to her during the exams, a few gust of sand blew in her face. 'I'm so under dressed for this town.' she thought as she looked at the sand covered walk ways, and it was always sunny here. Warm, she found her self enjoying the weather here. They both were sitting at a swing set, talking. A few kids would look over in our direction and I would look over at them. 'What's with them?' I would think as I seen their reaction towards Gaara.
"Gaara it was so awesome! I thought I would die there. But it's a good thing I had someone there with me. I would have never made it out of there alive." Leo said telling him about the exams, the forest of death. "I'm sorry I couldn't get here sooner, people were congratulating me on my way home." Leo said wagging her tail. She was in her dog form, she haven't showed him her true form yet.
"That's great, Leo. You think your going to pass?" Gaara asked. 'Pass! I just survived the forest of death! I think I can do anything!' she thought as her mind wandered to the next test they would have to do.
"Yeah, it shouldn't be that hard. It's only combat now. I'll visit every day from now on!" Leo said jumping up from her sitting place ready to play. 'I'm full of life! Like I've just been reborn or something!' she thought and started to play with Gaara.
----
"Why do I have to wear a collar!" Leo called out in disbelief. "It's to tight, and it shocks me! Why!?" she said looking at the Hokage. 'What did I do?! Why am I treated as a dog! Why keep me here!!' she wanted to scream out.
"Because, you have to remain here from now can't let you spill all of our secrets to the sand country." his rough voice said. "Your dismissed." he added and turned around to face the window. Leo walked out shocked, mad, and sad at the same time. The Hokage found out that she was leaving the fire country towards the other ones. 'No! What will I do?! Doesn't he know that I spill nothing! Only my life! I just wanted to talk to someone that I can trust.' she thought as she tugged through the halls.
"Why now! The combat battles are next week. What will Gaara think, will he worry? Will be be mad?" Leo said to herself as she walked towards her house. 'A shock collar! Why!? I mean it doesn't hurt much when I touch it. It almost feels like..No I must be tired. I haven't been sleeping right.' she thought as she went into the backyard of her house.
'These nightmares have started ever since I met Gaara, I accidentally slept beside him and woke up from a nightmare. He put his arms around me asking what was wrong. I must have scared him. But he calmed me down, some how.' she thought as she watched the sky. 'Why have the dreams come now? Why me? I don't think I can handle this on my own after all. I need someone to help me.' she thought as she seen the sky turn a bright pink color.
"The last kiss of the day, from the rays of sunshine. To the total emptiness of the dark. The pale moon will rise, the stars will grant such little light. Everything will be in gloom till thy sun rises again." she said to herself as she noted how each and everyday of how it would end, to the darkness of the shadows of the moon, from the light of the sun.
----
"Yes, it's finally here!" Leo said as she waited in the arena with the others, Yuki at her side. Standing tall and proud, even though she was small. Facing the people in the stands 'I know what they are thinking, what is that an ant? Did someone lose a child? Looks like she won't last long against them. All too easy, I'll show 'em up!' she thought. A smile spread across her face. 'I'm so excited! I feel like showing off!' she thought trying her best to be presentable to the people.
"Leo who are you up against? I'm up with the fat one." Yuki whispered in her ear. 'The fat one? Oh him, doesn't look like much for Yuki. He can take on anything.' she thought with a smile.
"I'm with the small skinny one, doesn't look like much. But he might pack a punch." Leo said back. "The first match is about to begin. That means," she was cut off.
"Hashi Leo, and his opponent please step forward." the referee called. Leo did as she was told 'they have no clue I'm a girl, they still think I'm a boy.' she thought as she waited for the match to begin. 'I didn't see Gaara. Where is he?' she thought starting to get worried. 'I hope he's not to mad about me not going over to see him.' she thought as she lightly touched her collar.
"Begin!" they both clashed at each other, Leo using her smarts instead of her strength. She jumped up into the air closed her eyes and put her hands together thinking. It looked as if she was doing a hand sign, but it was unfamiliar to the audience or to the other ninjas.
"Got it!" she called out and put her plan at work. She did a series of kicks, and punches adding a few fire jutsu's she learned not to long ago. She would occasionally look at the audience and seen their shocked faces. She jumped so high that it looked like she flew, and threw some kunai at her opponent. She looked around quickly and seen some clustered trees in one part of the arena, and the rest was covered in dirt, and patches of grass. 'No water, I'm going to make do without for now.' she thought and continued to fight.
----
"Winner, Hashi Leo."
"Get me down from here!" Leo's opponent complained as he hung both arms and legs were trapped with a kuni knife on the wall. "It's not funny!" he called out. 'Yeah, to you. Your a disgrace. Honestly. Who would fight with a stick against me! A stick!' she thought as she looked at him hanging there.
"Big talk from someone hung up to the wall like a picture frame." Leo called up to him. "Be thankful that your not seriously hurt." she said and started to walk away. 'With what I know, I could seriously kill someone.' she let the thought hang like a dark cloud. It flooded over her soon, then turned to haze surrounding her in her mind.
"I said Ge-" he couldn't finish his sentence as he fell to the ground. Leo pulled some string that seemed to be attached to the four knives, letting the boy go. 'Yeah I thought that far ahead. Besides you need to shut up, your so annoying. What kind of ninja would you make if you passed, let alone get this far.' she thought as she walked. Letting the string fall from her grasp.
"Next up.." Leo didn't hear as she entered the back room. It looked almost gloomy to the sight, everything seemed dark to her eyes. Even though everything was white, and it looked like it would gleam with pride. She sat down on a bench and closed her eyes for a moment, other's watching her. 'He looks beat. Wonder what happened.' people talked thinking that she was asleep. She didn't want to see other fights, too many people would be hurt.
She started to think of the lullaby her mother used to sing to her to calm her down again.
'Hush little one,
Run through the flowers.
Pick a single rose,
Sleep my child.
We love you tons,
Don't forget the hours.
Watch the petal froze,
Smile for miles, and miles.'
As she sat she felt a surge of electricity flow through her veins, and across her fair skin. She felt more energized then last week. All the previous battles wore off just like the electricity. 'It's the same as last time.' she thought and started back on the lullaby.
'Much better,' she thought feeling a wave of calmness wash over hear like a tidal wave washing over her feet. She opened her eyes again and seen most of the people in there were looking at her. 'What's wrong with them?' she thought and listened to their hushed conversations. 'Did you see that? She healed just like that. What's strange was that it was some sort of electricity. It just covered his body.' They whispered. 'Hm.' she thought and stood and walked towards the stair case near by. 'May as well watch the fights.' She thought as she made her way.
End
Chapter 2 - Return Meetings
I don't own any of the characters, only Hashi Leo, and Uda Yuki.
Okay not as long as the last one, but still. Still adding the few details that needed to be added. I'm trying my best today, but honestly the little lullaby did lack interest...Not very poetic like when I described the sun and moon. Of course it would help if I didn't have a lil bro yelling in my ears. Keeping me up all night, in the morning I usually have a spitting head ache. Yes very dangerous combanation.
Deidara: And your still talking. Yeah.
How in the hell did you get out of the closet?
Deidara: Ninja. Yeah.
Shit. Forgot about that...
Itachi: You also forgot about me.
No I didn't...
Itachi: Yes you did.
...
Itachi: That reminds me.
...
Itachi: You owe me-
Deidara: Don't even think about it. Yeah. She's mine. Yeah.
No. *Disappears*
I,D: She doesn't own Naruto. (Yeah)
