Tsume: Hey! My swearings blocked out!

Me: Your vulgar. sticks toungue out I'd have to rate this thing M for the things YOU say.

Tsume: grr…

Chapter Two: Lose Control (Just Once)

Tsume slept peacefully on the bridge, not hurting anymore. She was with the rest of team seven, who was on the lookout for their ever tardy sensei. Before drifting off, Tsume heard Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke whispering.

"…Called her a demoness the other day and she ran away scared."

"…She's so different…"

"…Genocide? By whom?..."

"…Strange…"

CURSE THEM. Dementia swore. THEY'RE TRYING TO FIGURE US OOUT.

'They're coming nowhere close.' Tsume mentally shrugged. 'We're safe, for now.'

Dementia grumbled but said no more, seeing as Tsume had fallen asleep.

-

"Ohaiyo chillens." Someone said.

Tsume's eyes snapped open.

"YOU'RE LATE SENSEI!!!" Sakura and Naruto screamed accusingly.

Tsume put her head in her hands and sighed as it started to throb. It was going to be a long day…

"Gomen, gomen. I was coming but I ran into…who're you?" A silver headed man with a face mask looked Tsume in the eye.

Tsume wordlessly gave him her paperwork.

"Welcome Tsume-san!" He greeted her after he read it. "It seems you've already met your fellow teammates. My name is Kakashi. Any hobbies and dreams you'd like to share?"

Tsume blinked. What should she say? "Er…uh…" She said intelligently. "no, not really…I guess I like…living…? And er…yeah…." What was she suppose to say? 'Yeah! My name is Tsume-chan and I have a demon inside of me who craves blood! Due to the sickness I have, I take up cannibalistic nocturnal activities every once in a while! My hobbies are tearing people limb from limb, eating them, and sleeping during the day! My goal is to not get caught!' She sarcastically thought. 'yeah right.'

"Ah…I see you're a mysterious figure. How…" Kakashi searched for a word.

Tsume looked at him boredly through half-lidded eyes. "cliché. I know. Maybe you'll see more of me later."

Kakashi answered with a smile, or so Tsume thought. It was really hard to tell with that mask. "Well, since you're the new kid, you get to watch." He turned to the others. "We have a C mission. We're guarding some old man who's going into the water country." He turned. "Show up here at 8 AM tomorrow, ok? Go train or something. Bye!" he left.

"Entirely intresting guy." Tsume commented, non-commitably. "Does he always show up late?"

"always!" Sakura nodded in agreement.

"And you're always waiting this long?" Tsume surveyed her nails.

"Yeah!" Naruto pouted. "It's totally unfair!"

Tsume sighed. "Show up two hours later than he says and you'll be right on time with him. Now if you'll excuse me." She laid down and closed her eyes.

Team Seven was, of course, gaping at the new girl. At least, Naruto and Sakura were. Sasuke was staring incredously

Tsume had to smirk. 'Ah…sweet unconsciousness… ' She thought as she fell asleep.

-

That night, Tsume went out for blood.

I NEED INOCCENT BLOOD. Dementia commanded cruelly. YOUR SICKNESS DEMANDS IT.

That was when Tsume passed by a window where she could hear small breaths. A child. Tsume didn't even flinch as she murdered the small boy, throwing his body out the window to make it look like an accident. The child didn't even have time to scream. The warm liquid seeped through her fingers and the pain inside subsided. She ran, washing her hands along the way, stopping at a local bar. She lied to the bar tender, claiming she was eighteen, and started to drink away all emotions.

"I didn't know you were eighteen." Said a familiar voice.

Tsume smiled bitterly. "You're blowing my cover, Kakashi-sensei."

He sat down next to her and ordered a drink. "You shouldn't be drinking."

"Neither should you." She retorted, draining her shot.

He sighed. "Ah. Touche…I'll keep your cover for tonight if you tell me about yourself. The Hokage wasn't specific about what I was getting."

Tsume glanced at him sideways. "Deal." She swirled her drink around, wondering how to carefully edit the tale. "At five years of age, I witnessed my mother kill herself because she gave birth to me. My dad had already ran away. I was 'raised' by the village." She moodily ordered another drink. "They threw old clothes out to me in the street and I worked for food. Worked at six years old because everybody hated me. They wouldn't even look at me. I'd go to bed hungry a lot because people wouldn't even give me work. They hated me because I …wasn't a boy." Even half drunk, Tsume knew she had to be careful. "so I ran away, trying to find a better place. When I was walking, I found a body, not even dead all the way. It was my father. When he saw me, he spat at me, swore at me, and blamed me for his death, then threw the very knife from his own chest…" Tsume winced in the memory and touched her stomach. "…at me and hit me in the stomach. I crawled away with my life, while he died cursing me for being alive. I haunted villages, always traveling, fighting my way through the Snow Country. That's when I caught a sickness. Believe it or not, some hospital decided to treat me. I had so many IV's…nobody found anything wrong with me." She lied on the last sentence. "So they sent me here." She drained her last shot. "Moral of the story: People hate me because of my sickness and I'm not normal." She wobbled slightly as she got off the stool, slapping money on the counter.

Kakashi watched her, amused. "Your gonna lose one thousand yen that way."

Tsume glared and picked up the extra money. "Thanks." She slurred. She shouldn't have drank that much. "Bye." She headed in the wrong direction.

Kakashi sighed loudly. He took Tsume's arm and started walking with her in the right direction.

"What the…?" Tsume blinked at him.

"It's my duty as your sensei, you could say." He replied.

Tsume smiled. "Yer just feeling guiltee coz you let me drink couple more shots."

"And I'm not doing it again. You so owe me." Kakashi said cheerfully.

Tsume groaned. "ssssnot good."

Kakashi just laughed.

When they reached Tsume's apartment building, Kakashi left. "See you tomorrow! I won't envy you in the morning!"

Tsume muttered curses about him being over cheerful and went upstairs to get a few hours of sleep.

-

Tsume showed up extra late, minutes after Kakashi (who had somehow foiled Team seven's attempt to arrive when he did.). "Gomen…no sai…" She puffed out. "Slept a little late…"

"I wonder why..." Kakashi said mischeviously as he walked towards the gates. "how's the head, Tsume-san?"

Tsume glared at him. "It feels like someone is stabbing my head, over and over again, with a kunai. Happy?"

Kakashi chuckled. "Come on. We're meeting our client by the gate."

Poor, bewildered, rest-of-team-seven followed obediently.

Naruto caught up with Tsume. "What's he talking about??"

"Hn." Was the reply.

Naruto scowled. "Aw common! You can tell me, believe it!"

Sakura came up on the other side of Tsume. "It almost sounded…" She stated, sounding very thoughtful and smart, "…Like you guys met up…last…night…" She and Naruto suddenly stared at Tsume, horrified.

Angry and disgusted, Tsume closed her eyes and yelled, "Isn't it a little too early in the morning for stupidity?!?!" She clutched her head with her hands. "Ow…" She sighed.

Then, a cold harsh voice said, "She's right, you know. Why don't you idiots go bug someone else?"

"Sasuke-kun!!!" Sakura squealed.

Tsume lost her temper and thwacked her right over her head. "SHUT UP ALREADY!!!"

"DON'T MESS WITH ME, NEWBIE LOSER!!!!"

"I SAID SHUTUP FORHEAD GIRL!!!!"

"WHORE!!!"

"WHORE TIMES MILLION!!!!"

"Ladies! Ladies!" Naruto separated them. "No catfights on missions! You can share me!"

Sakura and Tsume glared at Naruto. Sakura hit him and Tsume kicked him.

"Argh…Do what you want!" Tsume sped up so she didn't have to listen to forehead girl. "Troublesome…" She sighed. "Ow…"

"Sakura can be a loser sometimes." Said Sasuke from behind her. "she'll come up here eventually to bug Kakashi so be aware."

Tsume cocked her head to the side. "Thanks." She winced. "Why oh why did I forget to buy pain meds?"

Sasuke smirked. "So…what did you do last night?"

Tsume glared at him. "Why is everyone so interested in my night time activities?!" She was about to yell more but shut her mouth when she saw Kakashi's shoulders shaking with held in laughter. She blushed and turned her head away.

Sasuke smirked again. "You're amusing…for a new girl." He fell behind.

Naruto grinned evilly and called out, "Sasuke and Tsume sittin' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First co-!"

"Naruto?" Tsume interrupted calmly.

"What?"

"I know where you live." She hinted coldly.

Naruto abruptly shut his mouth.

-

The client was a drunk, old, bridge builder.

'Great…' Tsume thought sarcastically, a scowl now made permanent on her face. '…Protect a drunken fool…' She walked beside Kakashi, as he explained stuff to Sakura, who was on the other side of him.

Tsume picked up someone moving to the left. Turning, she said, "Kakashi-sens-" She was cut off when chains wrapped around Kakashi.

Tsume pushed Sakura out of the way as the chains sliced through…LOGS! "Get to the old man!" She shouted, turning her attention to the ninja that were now about to kill Naruto.

Sasuke acted quickly, pinning the chain that connected the two ninja to a tree with a kunai.

Tsume relaxed a little. 'This guy's got it.'

Big mistake.

They broke free and came after her before anyone could react. Tsume folded her arms acrossed her chest, smirking. These guys were easy. As they came within reaching distance, she flicked on on the head, sending him flying. The other one was yanked back with him. The chain, unfortunately, went crazy. It ripped Tsume's thigh open, a deep diagonal gash splurting blood appeared. Tsume flinched as she fell.

The ninjas hit a tree and were knocked unconscious.

"Tsume-san!" Kakashi yelled, coming out of his hiding spot in a tree. Tsume guessed he was waiting to see what his team would do. "Sasuke! Tie up those freaks! Sakura! First aid kit!" He appeared by Tsume.

The said personages did as they were told.

Tsume stared at the gash. "I can see my muscle twitching…" She said, disgusted.

Kakashi glared at her. "What the bloody ell were you doin'?!" He got out bandages, water, a needle, and some thread.

Tsume bit her lip and turned her head away, her face suddenly white. "Do you have to use that?" She pointed at the needle.

"blame your own stupidity." Kakashi growled. "Now explain to me what you were doing!"

"They were weak." Tsume held in a cry of pain as water washed over it. "They…were easy…I just didn't see the chain coming…" She started to hyperventilate as she saw the needle again.

Kakashi sighed. "I can't believe it. Two hostile ninjas attack her and she acts like its no big deal. But a needle…Sasuke, sit on her so she doesn't move while I er…fix this." He was being careful not to say sew!

Tsume was about to get up when Sasuke promptly sat on her stomach. Tsume glared at him. "You're ruining my escape."

Sasuke just smirked and folded his arms over his chest. "Good."

Tsume tried to push him off as the needle went in.

"Sasuke!" Kakashi barked.

Sasuke pinned her arms down so all she could do was move her head. She couldn't move her legs either. Sakura had sat on one and the other one hurt too much. Logic abandoned her. She squeezed her eyes shut. "I HATE needles!" She yelled. "HATE HATE HATE!!!!"

"Somebody shut her up!" Kakashi demanded.

"Sasuke! Do something!" Sakura demanded.

"HATE!!!"

"I can't I…!" Sasuke had an epiphany. He leaned down and shut her up, using his mouth.

Tsume's eyes opened and widened. 'OMG!!!! He's kissing ME???' It felt so nice and warm. His lips parted and…

"Done!" Kakashi tied off the thread and wrapped Tsume's leg up.

Sasuke broke away and moved off of Tsume.

"How did you shut her up?" Sakura asked, curious.

"Nothing." Sasuke glared at her to let her know the subject wasn't open for debate.

Sakura pouted but thankfully didn't push it. She got off Tsume's leg and helped Kakashi put away the First Aid. Apparently she hadn't seen what happened over Sasuke's body.

Tsume avoided looking at Sasuke, grunting as she sat up. She suddenly cursed and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked, finally getting his act together. It seemed he'd been absolutely petrified when the ninjas attacked.

"I can't stand." Tsume glared at the offending leg.

Naruto offered his hand.

Tsume took it gratefully, and tried to co operate effectively as Naruto slid her arm over his shoulders, bringing their bodies close.

"Lean on me." He said as he took the liberty of wrapping his arm around her waist.

"Thanks." Tsume leaned only a little, not wanting to be an inconvenience. "Thanks guys. Sorry. I'm really a jerk." She blushed because of her earlier behavior.

Sakura smiled at her. "You're not a jerk! You're part of Team Seven!"

"Yeah!" Naruto grinned. "We're big on team work!"

Tsume laughed and glanced at Sasuke. He was smiling. 'Woah! He doesn't strike me as the type that smiles much!'

The old man glanced guiltily at her. "I'm sorry, this is my fault."

Kakashi looked at him. "Explain."

He looked sad. "I only had the money to pay for a C mission. I didn't think…they'd come after me."

"Who?" Tsume stared him in the eye.

"Gato's minions."

"WHAT?!?" Tsume screeched. She swore explosively and reached two notches above vulgar.

"Hey! Hey!" Naruto fliched. "None of that!"

"Old friend?" Kakashi asked dryly.

"He's a ing pervert!!!" Tsume snarled.

Naruto squeezed her waist. "I will drop you on your butt!" He threatened.

"Sorry…" Tsume muttered, chastised. She glanced to see Sasuke scowling at Naruto. 'Woah…what did he do to him?' and then she saw Sasuke glare at Naruto's hand around Tsume's waist. She blushed deeply. 'he doesn't like me…does he?'

Kakashi sighed. "Well…since we're already this far…we'll finish the mission…"

The old bridge builder grinned. "Thanks!"

Lol! This was a really funny chapter. Ow! 0 carpal tunnel! Anywho…hope you like it! Chapter three's done so I'll probably post that sometime by the end of this month! Loves fans! –Hanyou Deamon
