I slowly open my eyes to see the dark sky outside my window. I look over at the clock to see its 4am. I sit up then get up off the bed. I go take a shower then get dressed in my normal outfit. I walk out of my room to see Jack in the kitchen. I make him some eggs and he makes pancakes. After eating we walk to the front door. He walks out first then I walk out and lock the door behind me. We walk to the Hokage's office in silence again. I don't feel the need to talk much around anyone anymore. We get to the Hokage's office to find out that are mission is to find a cat. I sigh 'This is a waste of my talent.' I watch as Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke chase that fat cat around. Jack sits next to me.
"Hey, what's wrong?" he asks.
"I don't know. I'm bored and I feel so tired" I state. Finally the cat passes by me so I grab it. I put the cat in my lap and pet it a few times. The cat meows as I stand up. I start to walk off.
"How did you do that?" Naruto asks.
"She has a talent when it comes to animals" Jack says then follows me. I bring the cat back to the Hokage's office and hand the cat to its owner. The lady pays us then leaves. Naruto slams his hands on the desk.
"I'm not the brat who used to play pranks on everyone I'm a ninja now and I want a real mission" he says. The Hokage laughs.
"Alright, alright. Well we'll give you a real mission since you're so determined. I'll give you a C ranked mission. You'll be bodyguards on a journey" he says.
"Really?" Naruto asks. The Hokage looks up.
"Yes" he says then turns to a guard.
"Send him in" he says. An elderly man walks into the room.
"What? A bunch of snot nosed kids?" he asks. I glare daggers.
"I wouldn't say that about that girl. Her uncle is of high rank and would not be pleased to hear your comment" the Hokage explains. The elderly man ignores the Hokage.
"My name is Tazuna" the elderly man says. They tell us we will have to protect this man while he travels back to his village. The Hokage dismisses us. Jack follows me out to the streets.
"Let's go home Jack" I state. I start to walk off but Jack catches up to me. We get to our house and start to pack for the mission tomorrow. I walk into my bedroom while Ryuu jumps onto my bed. I walk over to him.
'I need you to stay here and watch over the house' I tell him using his language. Ryuu nods then gets up and walk out of my room. I only pack some packaged food and that's about it. The next morning we all meet at the village gates. Jack and I are the first ones there because we are very early. Everyone else shows up around 7am. We leave the village and not even 20 minutes after leaving Naruto starts fighting with Tazuna. Jack and I continue to walk, not wanting to get caught up in unnecessary quarrels. We are able to walk for another two hours without another fight. Suddenly I stop.
"What's wrong Heroine?" Jack asks.
"She isn't scared is she?" Sasuke asks. I recognize this chakra. I dash forwards and run into my uncle's arms as he hugs me.
"My sweet Heroine" he says. The others catch up and stare in awe.
"Her uncle is…" Sasuke says.
"Yup her uncle is the, Alucard Urushihara" Jack states.
"Who is that?" Naruto asks.
"One of the greatest ninjas in the leaf village. He was offered to become the Hokage eight years ago but refused" Kakashi states. Naruto stands in awe. I smile into my uncle's chest. It feels so warm compared to the air. Uncle looks me in the eyes then all of a sudden they get heavy.
"Go to sleep, Heroine" he states. The world goes black as I slump forward into my uncle's arms. I wake up lying next to a fire. Everyone seems to be asleep but my uncle who looks over at me when I sit up.
"You need to get more sleep" he says.
"I think I get enough" I reply.
"You obviously don't. No more getting up at 3 or 4 on days you don't need to." I move and sit down next to my uncle. He kisses my forehead.
"I worry about you Heroine."
"Don't worry so much. I will be fine. Nothing is going to get me." He sighs then smiles then turns to look at the fire. I watch as the flames dance around in the tiny pit that was dug out. The flames slowly lull me into a deep sleep. The next morning I slowly open my eyes to find Jack staring down at me. He smiles then pats my stomach.
"Thank god, you're awake" he says. He helps me get up off the ground. I look around to see everyone is still asleep. I look up at the sky it turns that morning pale blue indicating that the sun will be rising soon. Jack watches me.
"How do you feel?" he asks.
"I feel fine" I say.
"Normal again?"
"Yeah, I'm normal again."
"I'm glad." I hear a rustling sound and we turn to see Kakashi waking up. He sits up and looks over at us.
"How long having you two been up?" he asks.
"They've been up about an hour before you woke up" uncle replies. We all look over at him as he lifts his head up to show his eyes wide open. He stands up and walks over to me. He pats my head and ruffles the hat a bit.
"Remember what I said" he says. I smile then nod because there is no use in going against him; he will make it happen one way or another. Kakashi watches us for a couple more seconds then goes to start packing things to head out as early as possible. Within the next hour everyone is up and everything is packed. Kakashi puts out the fire then starts to walk towards the road. We walk for about an hour until I stop dead in my tracks. Everyone looks back at me.
"Heroine? What's wrong?" Jack asks. Uncle turns to face the forest.
"Everyone, duck!" he yells. Everyone ducks as a metal sling-shot claw is thrown at us. I jump over the metal arm, doing a flip in the air. I activate my Gekkai-geki then look in the direction of where the arm came from as I land feet first on the ground. Everyone stands up from their ducking position and looks around. The rest of team 7 surrounds Tazuna pulling out kunai. Jack walks over to me.
"Where are they?" he asks. I scan until I see two guys with the metal contraptions attached to their arms. I smirk.
"Got 'cha" I whisper. I hold out my arm in front of me.
"Come forth, Yagura No Tachi" I command. The dark cursed katana appears in my hand. Naruto stares in bewilderment while Sakura backs away a bit in fear. I slowly unsheathe the blade.
"Unleash the powers of the underworld, give my enemies pain and suffering. Awaken" I chant. The normal blade turns into a large blade with spikes coming out of one side and has two skulls at the hilt. I slam the sword into the ground as I hold the handle. Both skulls' mouths open and the eye sockets glow red. Purple smoke emits from the skulls' mouths, leaving the smell of decay. I make sure I have a good hold of the sword.
"May everything die that crosses your path" I state monotonously. I lift the sword out of the ground, swing it around then slice towards the direction of the two men. The attack lights up purple and kills the trees and plants in its path then hits the two men. I sheathe the sword.
"Sleep, Yagura No Tachi until I call upon you to fight again" I state. The sword disappears and I take a step forward. Everyone but Jack and uncle back away. I walk into the forest while deactivating my Gekkai-geki. I walk over to the two men's bodies. I crouch down to inspect them.
"They're still usable" I mutter. I snap and two undead (basically zombies) pop up out of the ground. I point at the two bodies.
"Pick these two bodies up and follow me" I order. They do as I say then we take off running in the direction of the Akatsuki hideout. Once we get near the entrance the undead drop the bodies and sink back into the ground. I open the entrance the close it behind me and walk down the halls to the living room to see Itachi, Deidara and Sasori on the couch watch TV. Hidan and Kakuzu are playing poker at the dinning table. I smile then walk over to the couch.
"Sasori I brought you a present, the bodies are lying outside" I state. Everyone looks over at me then Sasori gets up and walk towards the entrance.
"Thank-you Heroine" he states and pats my head as he walks by. Deidara then tackles me out of no where.
"Heroine-chan, un!" he cheers. I giggle a bit then he helps me to my feet. I hug him then jerk forward as I feel 8 kunai stab me in my back.
"Bitch waited till my back was turned" I whisper. I slump forward and hit the ground. My vision fades as the blood forms a pool around me. I open my eyes to bright lights. I grunt then block the light with my arms. A shadow looms over me and makes me put my arms at my sides. I look up to see Itachi staring me in my eyes. I smile making him smirk.
"I'm okay" I state softly. Then try to get up but fail to do so as I fall back on the bed. Itachi picks me up and makes me wrap my arms around his neck. He takes me out to the living room. Everyone turns to face him then they jump from shock. Itachi sits on the couch with me in his lap. Deidara dashes over to me.
"Are you okay Heroine-chan, un?" he asks.
"Yeah I'm okay but I'm cold" I say. Itachi wraps his arms around me and Hidan grabs the blanket lying on top of the recliner. Itachi wraps me in the blanket then I nuzzle against him for warmth. Hidan sits next to Itachi.
"Well you won't have to worry about Konan anymore. She's gone for good" he says. I smile then suddenly realize something.
"How long have I been out?" I ask.
"2 days" Kakuzu mutters as he counts his money.
"Well at least no one will really worry that much." Itachi pulls me closer when I slip out his lap a little.
"Your brother is an asshole Itachi" I mutter. He chuckles a bit but doesn't question my statement. We watch TV for awhile then I feel tired. I yawn then look up at Itachi.
"Can someone take me home?" I ask. Itachi picks me up then starts walking towards the entrance.
"I'll take her home. Tell Pein I'll be back in a few hours" he says. We leave the hideout and head for the leaf village.
"Itachi, I don't want you to get caught. Just leave me at the gate" I state. He looks down at me and shakes his head.
"I'm not leaving you at the gate. Don't worry, I will not get caught" he says. I nuzzle into his chest while the wind rushes past us. We get to the village and Itachi waits for the right moment to slip in. he does and then dashes to my house. We make it to my front door at last. I unlock it and he quickly gets into the house then shuts the door locking it behind him. Ryuu wakes up and walks over to us.
"Hey boy" I state. Itachi takes me to my bedroom then lays me on the bed. I smile at him.
"I think I'll be fine from here" I state then try to pull my shirt off. I can't sit up so Itachi pulls it off for me and I look down to see I'm bandaged from boobs to hips.
"Damn." He laughs but then looks at me with concern.
"Does it hurt?" he asks.
"Not as much." He helps me take off the rest of my outfit and put on some black gym shorts. He pulls the covers up to my hips.
"We don't need anymore weight on the wounds" he says. He leans over and kisses my forehead.
"I'll come by tomorrow to check up on you."
"Night Itachi."
"Night Heroine." He jumps out the window and leaves. Ryuu lies on the floor next to me. The thought of sleep feels so good that I quickly fall to sleep.
I wake up to Ryuu howling but continue to lie down with my eyes closed.
"Ryuu, be quiet! I'm tried and my back hurts. Idiot says I was out 2 days solid, now let me go back to sleep" I mumble.
"You were out 2 days?!" I hear someone yell. I open my eyes and look at the other side of my room to see the whole team and my uncle in my room.
"What the fuck are you people doing in my room?!" I yell.
"You went missing so we came back here to find you" Sasuke says.
"I don't care, leave now!" I yell. They all walk out of my room and Ryuu goes to sit by the door so no one else can come into my room. I turn over and go back to sleep.
