inuyasha-how the hell did I get here!?!?
Koolio-just read the disclaimer.
Inuyasha-she doesnt own anything here except haruhi.k?!?!
"Where is the real Haruhi and what did you do to her?" Tenten demanded. She shoved me off of her and looked at me like I was an alien or something.
"Right here," I said flatly, acting more like my own self."What do I look like? Naruto?"
Not that I had anything against the kid, but make me spend a day with him, and, well......let's just say that he's gonna have to take an extra visit to the hospital.
"Sure, sure," she muttered. "When Hell freezes over."
"Hell's already frozen," I said in the usual steely tone I used.
Changing the subject, she walked over to my gigantic schythe. "It's beautiful. Lethal," she said softly. And I had to agree with her. If it wasn't, it wouldn't belong to me.
"May I?" she asked, fingering Zenpou (the name of the schythe) like she wanted to hold it. I nodded, resisting the urge to smile. Gai could barely lift it. I was almost certian she couldn't.
She wrapped her fingers around Zenpou, and looking like she anticipated using it, tried to lift it.
Key word: TRIED.
She tried as hard as she could, to no avail. The wicked, jewl studded, bloodred blade that looked so lightwieght seemed to be mocking her.
In defeat, she turned to me. "How do you even get that thing off the GROUND?!?!?!" she demanded.
"It's easy," I replied. "Just train a lot and soon you'll be able to budge it!!" I mocked optimism.
"I've never seen you fight with it," Tenten mused,"Maybe tomorrow we can duel." She said it excitedly.
"Sure," I said in a dead voice, but in the inside, I was kinda excited, too.
Tenten and I were standing in the middle of the training grounds, with Neji and Gai spectating.
"GO!!" Gai bellowed.
My fingers tightened around Zenpou. I was gigving Tenten a huge advantage by not attacking first. The tip of Zenpou was buried in the ground, waiting to show its power.
Tenten's eyes scanned my body, looking for an opening.
"C'mon, attack already!!" I yelled in impatiance. This was too boring.
I squeezed, sending some chakra into Zenpou. It glowed red, spitting fire out parts of it. Zenpou: the Hellfire Blade.
Tenten decided it was time to fight, so she sommoned a katana for herself. Holding it in flawless stance, she charged at me. But flawless wasn't enough to get through Zenpou.
Lightning speed, when the katana was a few centimeters away, I jumped up and slashed hard to the side. Tenten stepped back, but not fast enough, because I sliced a pretty deep gash in her side. She only gripped her side for a second. Next thing I knew, she was charging me and striking me over and over again, never stopping, never tiring.
But I was. Really fast. Wielding Zenpou in its true power takes an un imaginable amount of chakra to use, and even though I had more of it than Naruto, I was almost out.
I had to do something. FAST.
I swatted Tenten away.
"Gokiyon: lightning destruction jutsu!!" I roared, burying Zenpou's tip in the soft earth. Black lightning sparked in the dirt, starting from Zenpou to Tenten's feet. The ground shudderd, and then a tiny ball of dark matter floated in front of her.
It exploded. Everything within 1,000 meters was covered in dark blue light.
Chunks of dirt and wood pelted me, brusing and cutting. About 500 kunai flew at me, and all I could do was bear the pain and hold on to Zenpou's handle.
Suddenly, the explosion stopped and the sun was visible again.
I fell to my knees. I heard 3 pairs of footsteps sprinting towards me.
I leaned forward on my hands and coughed up blood.
Neji and Tenten loomed over me, worried expressios plastered on their faces.
"Go get Tsudane, Neji," Tenten instucted. But he didn't budge.
"She barely has enough chakra to live," he whispered."Last time I checked, she had more chakra than the Kyuubi and Shikaku combined. It's unreal."
"Gai sensei, go get Tsudane ASAP!!" Tenten yelled, "Haruhi needs immediate medical assistance!!" The green beast of Kahona ran off in a blur.
"I'm burning," I moaned, "Did you poison the kunai?" I looked up at the weapons misstress.
"Yes, how many hit you?" she asked urgently.
"All 500," Neji said quietly.
"Shit," she cussed under her breath. She turned away from us and strode off.
I couldn't even kneel anymore. With a thump I hit the ground.
"Tsudane's here," Neji announced softly.
As if on cue, Tsudane appeared out of the remaining trees that surrounded the clearng we were in. She glanced at me once and then sprinted towards me full speed. For some reason, I saw Hyuuga Hinata follow her.
Once they had reached me, Hinata activated her Biyakugan and gasped.
"What?" Tenten asked, returning to my side.
"You'll see," Hinata said in a small voice.
"Men," Tsudane commanded, "Carry the schythe to Haruhi's house. Neji and Gai will fill you in about what happened. Tenten," she asked when the men left, "What happened?"
Tenten and the Hokage walked off to discuss what happened while Hinata was left in charge of me.
"How did you get all those scars?" she asked me when they were out of earshot.
"Do you know my story?" I asked weakly. She nodded."I got them from past owners."
She made a face but didn't say anything.
Tenten and the Hokage came running back. "Take your hoodie off. We need to see your wounds better," Tenten said.
I reluctantly removed my hoodie. At least I could do that.
The shirt I wore was kind of like a tank top. It was, of course, black, and was a T-shirt cut at the ribs so it revealed my stomach.
"Oh my God," Tenten said, her voice getting higher with each word, "Haruhi, what HAPPENED to you"
Where was I? I heard a beeping noise and felt a small sting in my left arm.
Oh, yeah. I was in the hospital. Tenten knocked me out. Again. 'God, how many times does she have to do that?' I thought, annoyed. She had crossed the line.
I opened my eyes to find a worried Naruto staring at me. "Good, you're awake!" he said loudly. "I was kinda worried there, ya know. Don't do that again.
Anyway, Granny Tsudane said you were fine, and she told me to tell you to put these on." He tossed a pile of clothes at me. I instictively caught it.
"She wants you to report to her as soon as you dress. We have a mission. I'm going, so is Tenten and Neji." He strode out of the room.
I unfolded the clothes to see what I usually wore. I sighed in relief. Soon I was walking inside Tsudane's office. Tenten, Naruto and Neji were already there.
The hokage coughed. "Today you are being assigned a very long, difficult, important mission. You can't fail; if you do, it might lead to the fall of Kahona.
"I've chosen you all for various reasons. Naruto, I chose you for your kindness and giant chakra reserve. It'll be important on this mission. Neji, I
chose you for your Biyakugan and Jyuuken, and also your tendancy to get things done fast. Tenten, I chose you for your compassion and your throwing skills.
Haruhi, I chose you for your ability to stay levelheaded in a battle, your Limit, the ability to do what's right for your friends even if you'd die to
do it, and your massive strength. All of these qualities make you guys the perfect team for this mission.
"The mission I need you to do is to assasinate Oruchimaru-teme. Do you understand?"
We all nodded, silent. I could hear the panic in my team's minds.
"Haruhi, you're the leader of this mission," Tsudane decided. "You can say goodbye to friends, but after packing, I want you to set out right away. You need to get to Oruchimaru as fast as you can. Understand?"
"Hai," I replied, bowing. We departed.
Tenten, Neji, and Naruto stood around me at the entrance to Kahona as I planned out the formations we'd be traveling in.
"Neji, you're going to be at the front of the line. I need you to see all things as we're traveling. Naruto, you'll be after Neji in case he needs help. Use kage bushin. I'll go after Naruto, for helping you, Tenten, in the same way, but I'll need to be in the back end because of Zenpou. Tenten, you'll go after me, and you'll use your weapon skills to kill any enemy behind us. Got it?" I looked them.
"Hai!" they all said together.
"Okay. We set off now!!" I yelled.
We all jumped into the bushes.
All was quiet.
Not a bird had chirped. Nor did anything made any noise whatsoever. It had made the sound of the leaves swishing while we jumped impossibly loud, and so I
had decided that we should settle for the night. "We're getting too loud. We need to set camp," I told Tenten, Neji and Naruto. "Someone go find a
clearing to light a fire in. Someone else find firewood. I'll go search for a place to sleep in the trees and the remaining person will come with me.
Got it?" I instructed them. They had all nodded.
As it ended up, Tenten went with me, Neji searched for the clearing, and Naruto got the firewood. I had a bit of grumbling about that one, but in the end he had gone gracefully.
I carried Zenpou on my back.
"You know, I'm not your superior," I said uncomfortably to Tenten while flying through the trees, "I'm just a teammate organizing the plans and stuff."
"Sure," she replied quietly."I'll tell the rest of the team that."
I heard a choked gasp and then creul laughter coming the direction she was in. I had Zenpou out in an instant, ready to defend myself, but it wasn't me who needed saving. A tall, wiry man was jumping in pace with me, carrying Tenten and holding a kunai to her throaght.
"Come with me, if you want her to live," the man said coldly, and disappeared into the trees to my left.
I followed.
After a while of follow the leader, a small temple grew out of the horizon. The man escorted Tenten into it, and I had no choice but to follow. After turning a hundred turns, we walked into a huge corridor.
Naruto and Neji also had someone holding a kunai to their throaghts. They were pushed up against the wall and their hand were tied behind their backs.
"What is this for?" I asked the wiry man as he tied up Tenten and pushed her against the wall with my other comrades.
"Its a game we like to play," he said, "And it involves a lot of decisions. The rules are; One, If you quit the game, all of your friends get killed,two, you do something minor wrong, the friend in trial is hurt, and three, if you make a big mistake, the friend in trial gers killed. You win if you keep them alive for a day, and you lose if one gets killed in a day. If you lose, you have to play again."
"The first decision," a fat man said, "Is a big one. Bring out the boy." Another man walked in holding a big bag. He dumped it and out came the small, I'd say about 5 year old boy.
"His life or her's," the tall one said, getting behind Tenten and forcing her head up with a kunai. "You decice."
The life between a best friend or a small boy. I killed myself mentally for falling into a trap at the beginning of the mission.
I didn't know what to do.
hope you like it!! I THINK its longer than the last one, but i'm not sure. its a bit choppy. sorry if it makes no sense!
