Bloody Valentine

Chapter 2

Green brush surrounded the two women. They were deep in the training grounds so no one would find them.

"Are you ready?" Tsunade gave the girl a questionable look.

"Uh…yes Lady Tsunade-sama." The girl quickly answered. She eyed the boxes behind the brown eyed blonde.

"Now remember this is to test your skills. I need to know what I need to teach you. Let's start out with simple healing." Tsunade turned and opened one of the mysterious boxes. A white ball of fluff nestled in her arms. It was an injured rabbit.

Layla understood what to do and quickly channeled a small amount of chakra to her hands. A light blue glow emitted from her palms. She healed the small animal and a small smile of satisfaction met her lips as she watched the rabbit run away.

"Good. Now on to a harder task…testing your own jutsu's." Layla's face lit up. A spark seemed to light up in her determined eyes. Now was the time to prove her true strength.

Tsunade gasped as she saw the girls eyes turn from the brilliant blue to a solid black. She watched in awe as the girl moved her head from side to side.

'Found you,' Layla had spotted someone spying on them from the trees about a few yards away. The someone just happened to be Naruto.

She began going various hand symbols ending in a diamond shape with her two pointer fingers and thumbs together.

"Banyou no jutsu," she whispered and blew into the diamond. Clear flames flowed and encircled the boy and turned an icy blue when it completely trapped him. There were screams of protest and astonishment from the cage of flames.

"Hey, the flames don't burn! But they turned solid! How did that happen? LET ME OUT!" Naruto wailed.

Tsunade and Layla stepped toward the blonde in the blue flame cage. All they could do was laugh.

"Old Lady-Tsunade! Let me out now!" Layla let the boy out with a sigh. Tsunade mumbled something about paperwork and left.

"Hey Naruto. How bout' I treat you to some ramen for payment for trapping you."

"SURE THING! YAY!" Naruto bounced from the grouchy mood he was in. He walked cheerfully next to the silver haired girl.


Layla watched as the blonde stuffed as much ramen as possible in his mouth. She heard sounds of delight from the boy. She started giggling.

"Whayolabbinat?" Layla cupped her mouth to prevent from laughing.

He finished chewing and said, "I said, what are you laughing at."

"You seem to love ramen." She was glad he wasn't mad at her anymore for trapping him.

"Well of course! I love chicken, pork, beef…" He ranted on about the different flavors he has tried. His favorites, least favorites, most common, so on and so forth.

"Hey Naruto. I am sorry for just leaving you but I have somewhere I need to be." Layla threw some money on the table and darted off. Leaving the boy to gap at her.

She stopped at her front door. She reached for her keys and unlocked the door. The room was dark and stillness lingered in the air. She stepped in the room and in the darkest corner she saw red glowing eyes. She didn't think in enough time to avert her eyes from his.

"Shit." Layla stood there in fear. Her knees gave away and darkness took over her. Memories washed over her. She didn't scream because her voice seemed trapped deep within her throat. Silent tears fell down her cheeks and she trembled uncontrollably. The darkness overcame her and she fell to the floor.
