Chapter 2 of Cloak! Rawr

Ready ? Set? GO

-0-0

As the sun shined down on the windows of the large red Academy, many young ninjas in training were making their way up to their class room. Nara Shikamaru was one of these students, and of course he was taking the longest amount of time. He didn't even know why he was here, he didn't need to show up until the test day anyways since it was only five days away. So troublesome.

He sat down at his usual seat, his best friend Chouji munching on chips beside him, and was about to drift to dream land when he noticed something vital.

Iruka wasn't here.

Normally this would just mean he got held up somewhere but Shikamaru had been in the Academy long enough to know that Iruka was ALWAYS on time when it came to the Academy. Frowning he sat and waited and after everyone had filled the room loud foot steps could be heard going down the hall way.

All eyes moved towards the door as it opened and a cloaked figure stepped inside, a hat covering the top half of the figure's face while the high collar on the cloak covered the bottom half. The cloaked person stood in front of the large chalk board that was placed in Iruka's room.

Shikamaru could tell from first glance that it was a woman, troublesome, because of how she carried herself and the small roundness in the chest area that was showing against the cloak. The troublesome woman took off her hat, causing the bells to jingle in unison, and looked up at them with closed eyes and her blond hair flowing freely around her from the opened window and the light shined down onto her hair, making it glow and brighten like a golden halo.

All the boys in the room stared at her with small drools, or in Shikamaru's Chouji's and Sasuke's case a look that says 'interesting', and the girls stared with jealousy of the beauty in front of them.

The girl looked up at them, or rather didn't since her eyes remained closed, and grinned which caused noticeable gasps as a fang stuck out of her mouth. "Ohyio, I will be your teacher until the Academy test day." She took a piece of chalk without looking at the board and drew her name in Kanji with practiced ease. "My name is Kinmotsu Yoko do well to remember it."

There was a scoff above and a bark of agreement as the class's dead-last, only just below Shikamaru because of his test scores, Kiba Inuzuka spoke up. "Your our new teacher? Pheh, you probably can't even make a Bunshin."

'Baka' Shikamaru thought, glancing lazily over at Kiba. 'Never underestimate someone you just met'

The blond girl continued to grin and her face moved towards Kiba, her eyes never even twitching. "Inuzuka-San." She said slowly and the whole room seemed to drop a couple degrees. "It'd be best.." Her eyes opened up showing beautiful shining blue eyes that were oozing with so much killing intent that everyone's mouths were agape, even the emotionless Uchiha seemed to be stunned. "If you'd shut your trap." She closed her eyes again and smiled up at him. "Okay?"

All Kiba could do was nod as his dog buried itself into Kiba's jacket.

She grinned more as if some how seeing his nod. "Alright then, now I want everyone of you to write down the Jutsus you know and any Jutsus your intent on Mastering or learning." She suddenly did the 'release' seal. "Kai." There was a poof of smoke and now each person had a pen and paper in front of them.

Each student wrote down their Jutsus and what they wish to learn or Master quickly, not wanting to anger their new Sensei, except for Shikamaru who just put down "Kagemane No Jutsu" and then lazily slid it over to Chouji to take up when he went up. Chouji just grinned at Shikamaru in understanding and nodded.

After all the papers were handed in the teacher looked over them while the students talked with each other.

"Oi Shika-Kun!" A platinum blond yelled out, jumping onto Shikamaru's back, much to his (troublesome) dismay. "What do you think of the new teacher? Hot huh?" The girl asked, hoping to get a reaction out of him.

Shikamaru glanced lazily back at her. "I didn't know you swung that way, Ino." Shikamaru said calmly and the blond clinging to him seethed in anger.

"I'm not you bitch!" She screeched out and Shikamaru chuckled slightly.

"If your not why are you calling me a female instead of a male? Hoping too much, Ino?" He said, his words making the blond growl in frustration and stomp off. "Troublesome Woman.."

Chouji snickered quietly beside him and then turned towards the teacher when she slammed her hand on the desk.

"Nani!? (What) Are you serious!?" She growled staring at the papers, but for some reason her eyes were still closed.

Shikamaru frowned studying the teacher. She seemed to be able to see with her eyes closed and when they're opened they oozed out with a ungodly amount of killer intent. Lastly, hes never heard of her before in any way, even when his father forced him to read the entire population chart of Konoha saying something along the lines of "As troublesome as it is, Shikamaru, its important to know your comrades".

Kin sighed and suddenly there was another Kin standing beside her. "Alright.. I want Shikamaru Nara, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, Kiba Inuzuka, Chouji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, Hinata Hyuuga, Shino Aburame to follow me. The rest of you, stay here and read the entire text book!" There were obvious complaints but the teacher paid no mind as she jumped out the window, the others following suit except for Shikamaru and Chouji who took the stairs.

When the two arrived outside near the Academy training field they were instantly hit on the head by an invisible force. "Baka! I said to follow me not take an hour getting here." Shikamaru stared at her boredly while Chouji nursed his bump. "Now then.. You guys are the only ones that were either trying to learn, or already have learned the Henge, Bunshin, and Substitution Jutsus, so I will teach you but as for those worthless nobodies that were only here to fail I will only teach them that no work makes only failures." Kin looked at all of them and grinned widely. "For your first teaching, you will learn how to walk..." Sakura scoffed slightly.

"We already know how to walk, we're not babies." Sakura said, crossing her arms.

Kin twitched slightly and slowly opened her eyes to a fraction of an inch. "Haruno-San.. Don't interrupt me when I'm speaking, Kay?" Sakura just nodded, a fearful look on her face as the small amount of killing intent washed over her. Kin smiled and closed her eyes again. "Good now that we have an understanding I'll continue."

Shikamaru sighed slightly, staring at the woman with narrowed eyes. 'This girl.. Shes more troublesome then she looks.' Kin grinned towards Shikamaru, as if reading his thoughts and he suppressed a shiver. 'And whats with those eyes of hers, they're more scary then my mom's.'

"Now as I was saying before I was... rudely interrupted." Her eyes cracked open and looked towards Sakura at this who shivered. "We'll be learning how to.. walk.. on walls!" There were many gasps and scoffs of disbelief at this before surprised gasps were made in unison as Kin walked backwards and went right up the Academy wall with no hands.

Kin grinned and explained how to do the exercise to the almost-Genin and each one started to do it at their own pace. Most of the boys hadn't gotten it except for Shikamaru who made it up easily, his chakra control being vital in controlling his Kagemane no Jutsu.

Kin grinned up at the girls who were standing there, shuffling their feet and Shikamaru who just yawned. "Alright time to make this more interesting.." She looked down at the tired boys who were all sitting on the ground, recovering chakra. "Alright, whichever boy gets up here first will learn a Jutsu, a special Jutsu that is very.." Here her eyes twitched open slightly but to her surprise, none of them shivered for they were already used to the small amount of intent. "Deadly.. in a way." She finished and Sakura let out a whine.

"But Sensei.. We got up here already, why do they get rewarded for getting up here later?" She whined, a pout playing on her lips.

Kin turned towards Sakura and sighed patting the pink haired girl on the head, which caused her to shudder slightly. "I never said I wasn't teaching you anything, Sakura-San.. Now I want you three." Here she pointed at the three girls that had already made it up. "To stay up here as I set something up for you and for you Shikamaru." She looked towards the boy who stared back at her, and she could have sworn she heard him mutter 'troublesome'. "You will stand here too but you will do something different.. I've studied your clan's Jutsu somewhat and I'm curious if you can test some theories.." Shikamaru nodded slowly, curious to what his new Sensei had planned.

Kin walked down the wall while the inspired boys, except for Chouji who was sitting there eating some chips to recover energy, ran up and fell down the wall. Kin set up three logs in front of the three girls, but the logs were placed firmly in the ground and a bulls-eye was drawn on it. She grinned up at them and pointed straight at the targets. "When you can get.." She threw a Kunai to a far off target, hitting it dead on in the bulls-eye.. or at least that's what it looked like, in truth the Kunai's tip was two centimeters to the left, which no one could see unless they went up close. "your Kunai to match mine perfectly, I will teach you something new." Another whine reached Kin's ears and she sighed softly.

"But we can't see that far, Sensei!" Sakura whined and Ino nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I can't see it either.. All I see is the log." Kin sighed and then grinned up at them.

"Use your new chakra control, gaki, your feet aren't the only thing that can be enhanced with chakra." After hearing this the girls let out small gasps and each one started to channel chakra into their eyes, Hinata having the Byakugan turned it on without even meaning to and was surprised when her vision was a lot better then it usually is with Byakugan.

'I must not be putting a lot of chakra into it when I do it training with Otou-san..' She thought silently, then attempted to throw the Kunai.

Shikamaru and Kin walked off to where the Kunai that Kin threw was stuck firmly in the log and stared at each other. Kin cleared her throat slightly then smiled at him, her eyes never wavering in the slightest. "Shikamaru, I want you to Kagemane me." Shikamaru frowned but nodded, preforming the seals required then he shouted out his Jutsu.

"Kagemane no Jutsu!" Shikamaru's shadow slithered towards her with surprising speed and locked into her shadow, forcing her to copy his movements. "What now Sensei?"

She hmmed softly, casually moving her arm around. "You don't have a lot of chakra.." Shikamaru stared at her with wide eyes, surprised she could still move in Kagemane. "We'll work on that later." She said dismissively then smirked at him. "I want you to try to channel your shadow to grab this Kunai while holding me." She tossed a Kunai onto the ground and Shikamaru nodded slowly.

He made his shadow stretch itself out slightly and grab against the Kunai's shadow and frowned softly. "What now? The Kagemane can't move things like that you know." Kin grinned and motioned for him to move his arm, he did and was surprised when the Kunai rose with his arm, he moved his arm back and forth and the Kunai did the same.

Kin laughed softly. "You can control them, you just never tried.. It'll just take small things to do it is all. A Kunai would be your arms, based on which direction it is to you. Something large might be your whole body, like maybe a bolder or something, and then a human is each one of your separate body parts since humans have those. Interesting.. Arigato Shikamaru, now go practice your chakra control again and try to stay on the wall as long as you can." Shikamaru nodded but before he left his Sensei, he channeled chakra into his eyes and was surprised to see chakra surrounding her eyes as well.

Shikamaru's eyes widened slightly as he walked back to the wall with this new information. The Sensei was under a Genjutsu, but only around her eye area. He understood how she could see with her eyes closed, it was because they weren't really closed they were just put under a Genjutsu to look like their closed. This Sensei sure was interesting..

Hours later all the students left for home, their bodies tired from using so much chakra and all of their parents, except for ones without, were worried about them but the students just grinned at their parents and said "The New Sensei taught us stuff! Shes awesome.. scary.. but awesome!" or something along that lines. (Shikamaru's words: "Beh Troublesome slave-driving woman made us walk up and down a wall all day.. Troublesome..)

Kin herself was walking back home, her hat firmly placed on her head. She passed several people and ninjas who waved at her in a friendly way and she waved back with a bored look on her face while on the inside she was glaring at each one of them.

'Blasted villagers.. I bet if they knew I was their demon they'd be throwing rocks at me and telling me h ow much of a whore I am..' She thought sadly with a mix of anger. She thought of the pain and sufferings he went through for years, only ending at the faithful day she faked her death..

Her thoughts continued to get darker and more twisted as she walked, she wasn't paying attention to where she was going and when her thoughts became more focused she found she had no clue where she was..

She looked around, seeing only tall buildings..closed in on her. Memories of being stuck in a tightly locked alleyway with no way out except through the mass of laughing villagers..

Come here little demon, we'll have some fun..

She felt tears beginning to gather in her eyes, and she ran, gasping and sweating as she fled into the town, using the thin-line of Chakra her Otou-san and herself shared to locate him.

Come out wherever you are, we won't hurt you. Promise.

She stumbled, her hair whipping against her face as her heart began to beat faster.

There it is! Come on out of that little hole.. My bat wants to say hello

She slammed into something, but didn't bother to see what it was as she kept running, her legs feeling like bricks as she ran up the stairs towards her apartment that her Otou-san bought yesterday.

Take this demon! Go die! Stop ruining our lives!

She slammed the door open, feeling herself sobbing as she ran through the apartment. It only had a couch, bathroom, and a separate set of bedrooms. Otou-san wasn't here of course, he was taking his exam..Through her rage she must have mistaken the line of chakra with the line they keep in their house to make sure they don't lose their place. Or maybe he just left..

Slice slice! Off goes its arm! Ha-ha!

She ran into her room, or was it Otou-san's?, she couldn't tell. She was blinded by tears and rage as she tossed herself onto the bed in the room, her face buried in a soft violet pillow.

She couldn't see anything but her painful memories. Knives, bats, sticks found on the ground..They beat and cut at her with everything. Calling her demon and monster..

She felt her energy draining from her fast.. her brain slipped in and out of a dreamlike state as her energy ran out but she felt peaceful. No more bad men would come for her, not in her dreams...

All she saw was two mysterious eyes staring into her own.

Its alright now, little imp. I shall bring you under my wing and protect you always. As I have today..

Blood dripped everywhere in her dream..but it was okay. She was safe. Who cared about that blood, or who it was from or what it was from. She was safe.

Safe under those soft white wings and those gentle eyes that sparkled...

She felt her rage leave her, leaving only quiet content peace as she rested on the bed, her dreams now blank and empty..But full of peace.

Little imp rest easy, I am here to stay, just say when you wish to play.

We'll dance the Leaf away.

RR ! Please ;\ I know, I don't update much but I have a lot going on and I either get writers block or honestly just not interested. However I just had a mass of inspiration for this story and I might actually get most or at least some done. I might work on KuroHebi as well at some point but I wouldn't count on it. Haven't thought of that story for a long time.
