Chapter 2: Bring in the family/Sakura
Word of the clan got around fast... They had their compound built into the village in no time. Which meant it took a little over a week. Kaita had been busy helping her clan build, in fact the other two were stuck helping her build onto their compound as a mission. Her uncles Inuyasha and Nara had sent odd looks her way as they worked but she had just shrugged. After they had completed the finishing touches, they walked into the compound which was seperated into four sections, one section for the Hanyou part of the clan which was headed by Tai-youkai, Inuyasha... One section for the youngest brother Nara and his family, one for the leader of the entire clan, which was her father, Tai-youkai, Sesshoumaru... and the last one is the training grounds.
Sighing Kaita invited her two team mates into her home. She had a house all to her self, there were plenty in her fathers compound. "You two... would you like to come in for some tea?" she asked. In the week that they knew her she had never acted any where near civil. They nodded though. She gave a great sigh before walking into her home but leaving the door open for them. Sasuke walked in first and Naruto walked in last and shut the door behind him. She gave them their tea, or in Narutos' case she gave him Ramen broth. She heard a gasp and looked up to see Naruto looking at her wide eyed. She quirked an eye brow, and returned to drinking her tea. "I... I... THANK YOU, how did you know that I... " Naruto sniffed. And though she could see that some of it was an act the rest was real gratitude. In truth he really did like Ramen, but he didnt eat it all the time, just in public, or when he couldn't afford groceries, which was often. Kaita would have replied had not her door bell rang. She gave them both a nod before standing and walking to the door.
"Uncle... is there something that you desire at the moment, I am entertaining guests'." She said in a bored tone. "We're Tai-youkai... we don't fraternize with the enemy..." The white haired male said. "Besides that there is a female here to see you..." She growled softly at this. "Really?" she asked. He nodded. "I'll talk to her tomorrow..." Her uncle nodded before turning and heading back to his part of the compound. Which would have taken a normal person an hour at most to cross. "I have to get some sleep, I'll see you guys tomorrow... perhaps I'll be myself then, eh?" she asked before smiling at the two shell shocked shinobi standing behind her. They had thought that she hadnt noticed them. How sad...
Kaita arrived first as usual to team sevens meeting spot. Five minute later she saw something pink. She blinked...pink? Looking up, yet keeping the bored expression on her face, she tilted her head to one side in greeting. Pinkie smiled at her. "Hello, my name is Sakura Haruno..." pinkie said holding out a hand. Ah, so this is 'Sakura-chaan' . I do not wish to touch that hand... I refuse to touch that hand... Naruto likes this... pink haired... thing...with the tooo bright smile and the annoyingly 'puke' green eyes... Naruto... Inwardly, she sighed sadly. Outwardly, she had an irked look on her face... She hn'ed and rested against the bridge. Sasuke came next. She nodded at him distractedly... wheres Naruto? She saw Sasuke wave in response to her nod, and reveled in the fact that Sakura was jealous. She didnt care much, they were her teammates but Sakura was... well... if I am to be honest to myself I was the one who came in on... Ah, theres Naruto-kun... Kaita waved, and Naruto waved back... then there was this light in his eyes as he saw Sakura and she inwardly sighed... "Sakura-chaan, you're back!" Kaita deflated... He's never going to see thats right in front of him... or at least he'll pretend not to see...
Sakura sighed... that idiot... when will he see that I don't like him... and that... girl... Sasuke acknowledged her... "Hello, Naruto," said Sakura deciding to be civil for once. When she saw his eyes light up she regreted it... "So, Sakura-chan, will you go eat ramen with me... and Sasuke?" Naruto said. She didn't notice Sasukes' glare at the blond shinobis' words. "Really, Sasuke-kun, you're going to eat Ramen, Can I come with you? and Naruto I dont want to go any where with you..." The light in Narutos' eyes faultered. "Why don't you ask that girl over there?" Naruto turned to Kaita.
Kaita had been ready to rip the girls head off... or to cut her neck with a blunt kunai. But when Sakura had asked Naruto to ask her, Kaita, she had to pause for a moment.
Naruto-kun... if you ask me... Kaita saw Naruto turn to her... I will go... But she saw the look in his eyes... they were somewhat empty... hollow... so he really likes this...sakura...person. "Nevermind..." was his reply, as he leaned against the bridge beside Sasuke and away from Kaita. Kaita felt her heart fall. hn, figures... ignore me now... And Kakashi is here, wonder if they sense him... no matter...
Kakashi had noticed the way Kaita had reacted to everything... she seemed colder than usual.. Naruto, you are being idiotic... letting this one get away... In a puff of smoke Kakashi appeared in front of his students. "You're Late!" came the cry from Naruto and Sakura. "Well, you see, I got lost on the road called life, and when I found my way back to the road a black cat crossed my path, I was about to go around, for you know how superstitious I am, but it beckoned me to follow it and it led me to a wounded and lonely dolphin, whom I had to patch up... and lay to bed..."
"Liar!" the duet cried in unison as Sasuke merely glared. Kaita gave a thoughtful look, though one couldn't tell for the impassive facade she had. "Actually, I think he's telling the truth... in a round about way..." There was a moment of silence as the other three reflected upon what she said. "Eww..." kaita turned around only to see Naruto squenching up his face in an disgusted look... Naruto? She noted that Kakashi had tensed.
"Eww... that's... gross!" cries Naruto. Inwardly he snickers. I always knew about those to... It was so obvious...teheehee... "You put an... icky, wet, slippery... Dolphin into your bed... won't you get wet too? when you go to bed I mean?" Naruto saw that every one relaxed just slightly and he was minorly dissappointed... they really can't see beneath... 'underneath one mask lies another' it makes sense... what Kaita said... it makes sense... Naruto adopted a slightly thoughtful pose. As he noticed eyes on him he decided to follow through... "Though, I suppose you would sleep on the couch... yes... that makes sense..." Naruto nods resolutely for good measure. The rest of the group sweatdrops.
Kakashi relaxed. Must he be so dense... then again that may be a good thing... Kaita gave Kakashi a glance before noding. "Now, Sakura you spar with Kaita, and Sasuke spars with Naruto..." Naruto stared at Kakashi as if he had lost his ever-perverted-dolphin-loving-mind. "Kaka-sensei! Kaita will pulverize her!"
"Are you calling me weak? You shouldn't even be using such big words... it probably burnt out brain cells just studying the word..." Sakura prepared to punch Naruto in the head. However, her fist was caught by a crimson eyed Kaita. "Punch him, and die" she said so softly that Sakura nearly missed it. Sakura growled. "You cant do..."
"Leave Sakura-chan alone, Kaita... She doesn't know you beat Sasuke in sparing...She doesn't know she's the weakest of us all, she doesn't know you are a better teammate... she doesn't know Sasuke... she doesn't know you... she doesn't know you are holding back your full power and have been for the past months.. heck even the others didn't know... was just me that noticed... its easy to listen in when no one thinks your their because it is peaceful... and lastly, she doesn't know me..." Narutos' voice was slightly deadly as he lifted his head to reveal indago eyes. Kaita smirked her own eyes turning into a richer crimson than before. Kaita sniffs the air. packmate, was the consensual thought, the shared thought between the two. She looked at Sasuke and sees the underlying bitterness. She can almost taste his jealousy. She could almost hear his thoughts... Silly, Uchiha... You are our packmate, we protect what is ours and we help them...
After a moment the two revert to their original states. Sakura was shocked but said nothing. "Let us fight," says Kaita in a bored tone of voice. Kaita lowers herself on her knees and relaxes. Time to try out a special part of my bloodline... Mother natures' blessing... ok, relax, calm down, become one with nature, the elements work with me, I am natures kin...There, the wind is blowing around me ... I am untouched... Kaita was on her knees with a book in her hand and wind was swirling slowly around her keeping her in a large dome of protection. "Fight" she says simply. Sakura ground her teeth together. Sakura walked calmly toward the dome, so far she was doing well the wind had not harmed her so she walked forwards... and was thrown clear across the clearing and into a tree.
Naruto had been watching them anxiously but so far all Kaita had done was sit down and begin to read a book. He saw Sakura walking towards the girl and he felt something was not right. It was a gut instinct, but before he had had a chance to warn her she was blown across the clearing by an invisible force. Worry gripped his heart as he ran towards her with a cry of, "Sakura-chan!"
Sasuke had been watching the fight avidly. The girl was controling the elements. He turned to Kakashi to see that he had noticed too. He had been about to ask Kakashi about it when he saw the mans eyes widen and then he heard a frantic cry of 'Sakura-chan' to his left.
"Sakura-chan!" this broke her concentration. She felt somewhat hurt... but that was over as she saw Naruto looking down at Sakura worriedly. "She is a shinobi... she will be alright..." Kaita said. "That is not the point, I know how you feel about Naruto, but even though she hurts him, he loves her... you can't just stop love..." She looked up to see Kakashi standing beside her. She sighed... I know...
"Kaita-chan!" called a voice from the left. She frowned slightly. Why is uncle Inuyasha coming here? A male in a fire red haori and hakamas landed in front of her. He had a young woman on his back. "Aunt Kagome..." she said softly. Kagome slid off of Inuyashas' back and stared sadly at her. That knowing look in her eyes. "You are needed back at the compound..." Kaita looks at Kagome for a moment before nodding. She quircked an eyebrow at her uncle. He spoke gruffly, "They want to discuss a family issue.." Kaita frowns. No, no, no not good, not good at all... Kaita nods at them and runs off, leaving confused teammates and empathetic family members...
Kaita rushed towards the compound... No, not good... definitely Not a good sign, they sent Uncle Inu... Kaita paused... before sighing sadly... I know what this is about...
