The diary of Arashi Haruka:
2010-07-18
I know I haven't written in a diary for a long time...but I have a reason!
The last time I wrote to you was when I got kidnapped by Kakashi, who worked for Itachi. I had to listen to his music, which was extremely terrible. (If you don't remember, you can read the first diary)
So I'll tell you what happened...I have got a lot of time on my hands…we have just set up camp…
The last thing I said was that I didn't think that being kidnapped was going to be a bad idea, but in a way, it was very bad!
Although, when I was there, I was treated like a guest.
I was allowed to roam the big mansion, or hideout, or captive place, whatever you call it.
(Another thing I love to do is count, I don't know why... I just love it. I counted 1226 windows in the whole mansion, because I was there for a long time, 28 days, I was so bored.)
It was the same routine every single stupid day! I was really so bored by it, and I told them…I got a scar on my hand to prove it! (It is in the shape if the Akatsuki cloud because it is the only shape they know how to draw…It looks kind of cool in a way…Anyway…)
The day started with waking up and having breakfast, then listening to Itachi's band, called the Akasuki band. Most of the members wanted me dead, especially Pain, because I was soooo sarcastic about everything!
I promise you, other than the fact that after lunch, I got beaten up and whipped, it was like I was really a guest there...
In fact my back still has the marks from when I was whipped...sometimes it still hurts...
Anyway, on the 27th night, I decided to run away, not that it was my first attempt, it was actually my 26th attempt, but I was sure it was going to work this time! I planned it to the smallest detail.
My plan was simple, I would sneak out through Kakashi's van that left every Wednesday and I would crawl out of it, once past security. Then I would make a run for it.
They never checked the back of the van because legend has it that Kakashi has a gnome that has a very bad temper and it lives in his boot of the car. I didn't believe that rubbish!
Anyway, the plan worked and I got out. BTW, there was a gnome in the back of the van, but he didn't have a temper at all, he was extremely scared. The gnome's name was Pinch.
The only thing that was in my head was Sasuke. Sure, I called him many things the last time I saw him, and I didn't want to see him, but I really missed him. (For some really weird reason, I think it was because his brother kidnapped me!)
They went through all this for my parents….my parents were dead, the last time I checked. Kakashi says that they are still alive...If that is true, then I will go look for them and I will protect them.
First, I needed to fetch some things from the village. That was good, because no one would be out in the streets because they have jobs, except the Hokage, all he does is stare through that glass ball…
It's true, that is what he does…..
So anyway, I went into the village, which was about an hour and a half walk. I got to my house, where my sister Kanashimi also lives…she probably didn't notice I was gone. When I got there, guess who was there…Sasuke.
He was just sitting there, I tried to run away, but my stupid foot was injured from the torturous stay at the mansion.
I fell. (Hard)
He heard.
He saw…... (OM*G)
He ran to me, how pathetic…..How pathetic was I? I started crying…No, he was more pathetic than me….He started crying too!
"Haruka…Where the frikin' hell have you been?"
He also started swearing…..It was all too sappy, this "greeting".
I got up, limped very fast into the house and locked the door.
The first thing I did was fetch my first aid kit, under my bed. Then, I got my backpack and packed in some clothes, my cell, my charger, my mini laptop, my Maximus water bottle, filled with water, some weapons from my sister's cupboard, money and snacks.
I was ready to go….
I quickly wrote my sister a 26 word letter explaining why I was leaving…there goes my counting obsession!
When I left the house Sasuke was still there, but so were all my friends: Kiryuu, Sakura, Naruto, Tei, Aisa Reru and Na Mei.
"What the hell are you guys doing here? You are supposed to be at your training!"
I already know the answer…
"We want to come with you!" replied Sakura.
"Yeah, and there is nothing you can do to change our minds! Believe it!" exclaimed Naruto.
His catch phrase is beginning to annoy me, and I don't get annoyed by Naruto easily…Anyway...
I had to agree with them, now that they have seen me, they have to come with me, but we have a small problem.
There are 8 of us. There are too many people to go unnoticed. They already knew that. Aisa Reru and Tei agreed to stay there and keep training and that they won't let any weird rumours about our disappearance…
Only on 1 condition that we have to send letters, via eagle, to notify if we are still alive…and that's where I am now!
Well, I'm too tired to write anything else, I better get a good night's sleep if I'm going to carry on.

Gee, so much for a good night's sleep. I couldn't sleep. There is just so much to think about…Like how my sister is going to feel when she finds out I'm gone, again, or what has happened in my life and how. My life is just so complicated right now! I wish it would just all go away!
When I finally got to sleep, according to my watch, 4:40 in the morning, I got awoken 10 minutes later because there were some jonin walking around the area where we set up camp.
How could that happen? We were out of the city. No one was supposed to be there, especially in the morning.
When I went to check out the scene, I saw that the jonin weren't from our village, they were from the village hidden in the sand. I still wonder what they were doing there. We followed them, but then after a while we gave up on them.
Another thing you should know is that Kiryuu, one of my best friends, is an experiment of Orachimaru and can transfer chakra into someone else's body.
Instead, we managed to transfer Naruto's spirit into one of the jonin's body.
This will allow Naruto to see through the jonin's eyes, without him noticing...It's way better than Ino's jutsu...Naruto can still use his own body normally, except he can't really see that well!
We sent Naruto's eyes to follow them…After a while, and I mean 3-4 hours later, the eye 'poofed into dust' (Is that how you say it? Wait…is that even a word?), because one jonin realised someone was watching.
It took them long enough! They call themselves jonin...
During that time, we talked about our plans. We talked about where we would go to look for my parents. We decided to go south. Yup, we didn't know where we were heading, just that we were going to go south.
"Why south?" you might ask….
Well, Na Mei has these weird senses that tell her what to do…they aren't all necessary true, but, we decided to do what her 'gut' told her to do...
When we finished talking, Sasuke sat next to me. We talked some more. It was quite awkward, because the things we were talking about were personal….
Sorry I can't tell you what we talked about….
It was late afternoon, just after Naruto's spirit went back to him. We were all sitting down, eating some baked beans from a few cans that we stole from the convenience store….
Well, it wasn't really stealing….We just used our abilities to trick the cashier to think that we gave him money. (It was all Sakura's idea, in case you wanted to know…ha ha!)
Anyway, it was a very bad idea to 'steal' those baked beans…You probably already know what Naruto is like when he drinks off milk, well, this was way worse, we had Naruto on a gigantic, pink, Barbie bucket (Yes, there is Barbie) that we stole from the convenience store.
We also had Sasuke who farted like the Hallelujah Chorus, which is, like, a 10 minute song, including all the different voice parts. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever heard, okay well not really.
Sakura was a whole new story. She was on a tiny bucket, also from the store, screaming like a mad, pregnant woman giving birth to triplets because she was sooooooooooooooooo constipated. It wasn't even funny.
That was when I remembered when my sister, Kanashimi and I wrote a rip-off of the song, "Eye of the Tiger". We called it: "Bum of the Hippo".
I still remember the words….
Take a step, swishes his tail
It sprays up and down
And the smell's so bad, like a windy gale
Just a poor tourist in hell
He always seems to need to go
the viewers are disgusted
I give my word, it's not the show
it's just the thought of it all
It's the bum of the hippo
It's the brown of the poo
Sinking down, slowly, into the mud
And the big, stinky fellow's river is his loo
And it's all going right on in
The bum of the hippo
In a pile exposed to the heat
Giving off strange aromas
It resembles chocolate peat
everyone sees the poop
It's the bum of the hippo
It's the brown of the poo
Sinking down, slowly, into the mud
And the big, stinky fellow's river is his loo
And it's all going right on in
The bum of the hippo
It wasn't what they wanted to see
didn't occur to any
that stupid creature, why couldn't he just pee?
Just a poor tourist in hell
It's the bum of the hippo
It's the brown of the poo
Sinking down, slowly, into the mud
And the big, stinky fellow's river is his loo
And it's all going right on in
The bum of the hippo
I am so tired right now. I still hear Sasuke's song in his sleep and Naruto and Sakura are still on their buckets, but they're asleep.
The only people that weren't affected were Na Mei and I. We grew up on baked beans together, so we sort of knew that it didn't affect us.
Kiryuu, like I said earlier, is an experiment and therefore cannot smell properly. So, she wasn't really affected either.
Well, that's a wrap up on me tonight…See you same time though I'm pretty sure we won't be at the same place.

Today is like a blur. No, it is not a blur, its worse! It's like a smear of peanut butter on a TV screen, and you can't get it off, and your favourite show is on. It's like not being able to watch your favourite show! It's unfair...
Yes, unfair! Believe it, as Naruto would say...
It is only 6:30 in the morning and I am soooo tired!
We are now currently in a cave, a dozen miles from the village, that's how far we walked...In fact, that's all we did, we walked. It was soooo boring.
The best thing about today was that the 3 stooges stopped singing with their rears. (Excuse me for my bluntness, but I'm not really in the mood for this...I swear, I could kill someone and not feel bad about it, and that's saying something...!)
We are going to walk throughout the night, so I'd better go!

Okay, I know I haven't written in 2 days, well that's because we finally arrived at a village that none of us knew about...Maybe it did exists, but now days, our general knowledge is as rotten as a duck's feathery behind!
It is a village that was formed out of nowhere. There are people from the village hidden in the mist, the village hidden in the grass, sand and even from our village. (Obviously there wasn't any from the village hidden in the sound...Orachimaru has them under control.)
Soooo, what has happened in 2 days is:
Day 1, we went on a tour around the city and stuffed our faces. We talked about what our secret hobbies are (*) and then retired in a hotel with strawberry pink walls. Sakura was very happy about this arrangement, since it matched her pink hair.
(*- our favourite hobbies that no one knows are:
~Sakura, she likes to draw pictures of people and she likes to braid hair, she braided my hair and it looks really cool!
~ Naruto likes writing mini songs and enjoys taking baths, even though he put up such a fight when he was told to bath a few weeks before I got abducted.
~Sasuke likes, well, he enjoys competing and he is quite into the book Kakashi gave him for his birthday. He also likes to cook! Ha!
~Na Mei likes almost everything but especially painting nails, she did Naruto's and they look divine, though I must say, poor Naruto. I am soooo glad that she never saw my nails, she'd have a fit!
~As for me, I love singing and creating very unusual jutsus. I never told them, but I secretly love to write stories and paint. )
Day 2, we stayed at the hotel playing poker with crisps and chocolates as tokens, but then after 5-6 hours, the chocolates started melting and so we ate them. Then we talked to our "neighbours" about everything, except our mission...And I mean EVERYTHING!
That lasted most of the day...It is currently 10:45 in the evening, and I am going to bed!

Today was extremely harsh.
I say this because, today, we ran into some of our "friends" from the village hidden in the sound...Orachimaru's followers.
We were a few miles out of the weird unknown city and we ended up at a forest area. That was where they 'cornered' us.
The mist was thick...I could sense them, of course, but they came so fast, that not even Sasuke could see them.
Something you should know about my past is that I wasn't originally from the village hidden in the leaves...In fact, we, as in Kanashimi (Kanachan!) and I, were from the village hidden in the clouds.
Everyone in our clan was eliminated because of our Bakuhatsu that runs in our blood. It is when large amounts of chakra get released over small things. Sort of like mood swings.
For example, if I get stung by a bee, my chakra would become immense!
It is a curse and a blessing at the same time. Kanashimi and I can't train by ourselves, because our Bakuhatsu might get released. (I train by myself anyway!)
Another thing is that I found out today, that my secondary element is fire. (My first element is the mist/cloud/water- the same thing)
I got struck on the head with a shurikun and my head started to bleed. It made me remember my younger years and my Bakuhatsu kicked in.
I used my summoning jutsu to summon Maxi.
Maxi is a miange, pronounced mi-aan-gay (A smaller version of a black tiger, about the size of an average adult Labrador, with wings and fangs.) She was my mother's pet, but when I turned 10, she gave her to me.
The people from the sound were very tough to beat as there were at least 15 people.
I learnt how to through fire balls at them...It sort of came naturally but, I had watched Sasuke do it before, so I had an idea of what to do.
Sasuke, Maxi and I were at one stage the only ones still fighting with the sound people.
By the end of the fight, there was no one left to fight. Sasuke was still able to stand because he didn't use a lot of chakra.
On the other hand, I was weak because the Bakuhatsu drained all my chakra and then I stupidly decided to use my summoning jutsu. (It did help me a lot, though!)
Sakura and Naruto were knocked out for about an hour when they decided to wake up from their sleep. It was as if the fight never happened because they didn't remember anything about it.
After we found a random, small lake in the middle of the forest, we decided to walk on.
Gosh, Sakura is such a control F-R-E-A-K! She insisted that I had to be carried everywhere, because I was barely awake.
The only reason why I am writing now is because we have set up camp just outside the forest and Sakura has gone looking for water and food with Naruto.
I feel like such a sloppy person, like I am always getting saved and I never get to do what I really want to do. The reason why I am on a journey is to find my parents, not to drag some people around who are just giving me a hard time.
Stupid Sakura! Stupid Sasuke! Stupid Naruto! Stupid Na Mei! Stupid Kiryuu!
Wait a moment! Where were Na Mei and Kiryuu?
I haven't seen them since before the fight with the sound people. It was like they left as soon as the others came!
Nah, they're probably okay! I was so dizzy that I didn't see them...Yup, that's it!
I'm going to sleep now!
