A/N: I got…like no reviews, did I sound too conceited in the summary…you know I'll change it! So…here is the second chapter.
Warnings: …Swearing and my violent actions.
Dedication: To…Lemon cookies, I love them Lemon cookies.
Disclaimer: I don't think so…owning it would be…troublesome…-sighs-
Note: I will be using Japanese money numbers instead of American cause I don't want to bother with converting. Also, I am going to just speed this up a bit since it is a little boring at the moment.
Key: This is for my narration "This is for Speech" Italics are for thinking and bold is…well for highlighting? The underlining is for when speech, thinking and writing is in English.
Test Run
Chapter 1: Take it up a Notch
After sitting in this chair, this oh so comfortable chair, for 20 minutes, with the oh so nosey secretary watching me as if I'll jump up and kill her. Maybe I should, to irk the other people here, although that would do more than irk them. Who the hell is that woman anyway? Anyway, the Hokage's door opens and I am told to come inside.
I comply with the order and wander into the room refusing the seat I am offered and stand in front of the desk. The four ninja's hanging off to the side watching me warily. Well…the Emo kid is emotionless, The Pink girl is annoyed, Blondie seems to be in another world, and good old Cyclops is…unreadable. Yea, that about sums it all up.
"We have decided what we shall do," says the Hokage.
"What would that be?" I ask.
"We have decided to have you watched by team seven and go on missions with them until further notice, considering you do not have any papers, identification, and you give the impression to already know so much about them so you say." When did he figure I had no identification?
"Fascinating." I give him a thumbs up and a smartass smile. "You done yet?" Yea. I'm a jerk and don't give a damn for authority. It shall bite me in the ass someday.
He laughs at me lightly and then adorns a small, serious yet kind smile on his face, the corners of his eyes crinkling. This man is known for acceptance and kindness. "You are as impatient as young Naruto here, but for some reason I believe you already knew that." Oh Dang. Right on the money, speaking of money, I need some to buy a new outfit…this is too heavy for the warm weather here, oh dear…I'm getting side tracked again.
"Nope, I'm just a smartass but I can be impatient, my personality changes fast, something no one is ever use to." I lazily fold my arms and tilt my head to the side, hoping my stance will get him to speed up his little speech.
"You are pretty much straight to the point and honest aren't you, young one."
"I'm 17"
"Might I say young lady then." I nod and he smiles that odd smile at me, I find it quite mischievous as if he is daring me.
"I suppose you won't mind giving us your name, assuming you truly know ours." Should I lie? I mean, my name is obviously not Japanese, aw hell, who cares.
"Not at all, Sarutobi, my name is Nicole DeTota. I know it isn't Japanese, it is Italian, but I wont tell you anything else about that." The man in front of me lets out a short hearty laugh.
"I believe you do know most everything. I will respect your want to keep your origins secret, but remember that you are going to be under surveillance until we determine you are trust worthy."
"Seems fair enough, not like I got anything better to do."
"Then it is settled, you all may go."
As we walk out I can't help but wonder if this experiment I had been thrown into will really play out the way it originally does. Currently I'm no longer paying attention and when I come back to my senses we are back outside, in front of the Hokage tower. The Cyclops addresses me first.
"I hope you understand that you will have to stay with one of us each night, and when you are attending our missions that you must not get in the way." I nod and he continues. "Well as long as you remember this I'm sure we will get along just fine." He has to be kidding.
"Are you sure that you aren't lying to me? Since not too long ago you were threatening to spill my blood all over the floor." I smirk my twisted smirk as the memory from earlier glistens in his eye.
"No I-"
"Don't worry about it, if you wanted to kill me, I'm sure you would have. I'll let it go for now…but I'm sleeping with one eye open." I give him a look, as if I was examining him. Kakashi falls silent.
"So can we go train now?" All of us look at the Emo kid, a.k.a Sasuke Uchiha, who seems impatient with the extra time being wasted on standing here.
"YEA! Let's get to it I need to get stronger to become Hokage!" At this point I realize something, my life is going to be hell through this whole thing…especially since I know the whole story line, if it plans on going that way. Maybe I can use this to my advantage.
"Alright kids, let's get back to the training grounds."
(-Training Grounds-)
I remove my expensive black cloak, revealing a plain black under armor t-shirt and black pockety (1) cargos under it and neatly fold it in my lap. I sit at the base of a tree near Team 7's training area. This place is amazing, considering how lush and green it is compared to my hometown's woodland.
I watch the three genin beat each other up, during sparring. Seeing all this in person and so close up is a lot more interesting than the T.V. I notice that even through Naruto has a lot of power, he has no control what so ever. I think with some hard work and a lot of patience he can improve. Sasuke is more controlled with his power but he seems to be letting it get to his head, well Naruto is doing the same, but he has that state of mind where he is superior. Sakura, she has fabulous control, but she is very weak and has little chakra, she should do more push ups or beat the hell out of a punching bag or something. I'll stop criticizing them now; I have no right.
I have the sudden urge to spar, but I decide against asking someone because I will most likely loose, I am no ninja. I take our Xander, my MP3 player and link it around my neck and place the ear buds in my ears. I press play and select an album, the sound of Three Days Grace music floods my ears. I close my eyes and lose track of time.
(-Night Fall-)
"Should we wake her?" I hear the Pink girl's voice ring out to who ever was listening. I must have fallen asleep and my MP3 player's battery ran out, thankfully I have tons of them with me. I open my eyes to see the four of them gathered near me and I yawn and stretch signaling I was awake.
"Yo," says Kakashi.
"Ga," I say.
I earn three curious looks and an impassive one. "Yoga. You said yo so I said ga." The curious looks are replaced with ones of annoyance; I stand to me feet and put Xander in my pocket.
"We decided that I will watch you at my place for the first night," says the scarecrow.
I nod and the jounin dismisses his students, who bid him farewell and he replies with, "Show up at the bridge at 7:30."
The walk to Kakashi's place is quiet, but I can feel his eyes on me the whole way; this irritates me. He leads me into his apartment, which is very small, and tidy. I gather he doesn't spend much time in here, and more time out side. As I pay no attention to what the scarecrow is saying and more to his apartment, he hits me with a pillow.
"You will sleep here," he says as he places a few blankets and another pillow on top of an unfolded futon, in the living room. I nod and he goes into his room to change and goes to sleep.
"…What an annoyance." I carefully lay my cloak on the couch and pull off my tight under armor t-shirt and pants, revealing my sports bra, and work out shorts. My cloths are then folded and laid with my cloak. I pluck out my fake fangs and rest them upon my cloths. I set up the futon and toss the pillows down then grab the blankets and curl tightly resting my head on the pillows and fall asleep yet again.
(-Morning-)
"Can you please get dressed so we can go?" I crack open an eye from the position I was in; the fresh morning light shines through the window. I then sit up, the blankets pooling in my lap. The man above me blushes and politely turns his head.
"Dude, it's dawn." I can basically feel the misunderstanding blistering off of the jounin, so I clear my throat and speak in his native tongue. "Why are we awake? It is dawn."
"Just get dressed, we leave in a few minutes."
A few minutes later we are heading out the door, me running my clawed fingers (1) through my hair, de-knotting it. "We need to stop by somewhere before going to the bridge." I nod, not caring if he notices or not.
(-8:30 Am. 2.5 hours after they left-)
"So this is why you are constantly late meeting your team." The masked man glances at me briefly then back at the memorial in front of him.
We are currently at a memorial stone. Kakashi has been standing in front of it for the past two hours and twenty-five minutes, not that I had really paid much attention. My mind was focusing on the music playing from my MP3 player. I know why he is here, and I can tell the people's names' that are on there must have been very important to him. I rummage through my mind to remember who these people are and all I recall is that they were; are his past teammates that had died twelve years ago when Kyuubi attacked.
"It isn't healthy to become so depressed over their deaths Hatake-san. Personally, I think your teammates would have wanted you to accept the fact they died with honor; and that is the best way to go. All I know is that they were good people." I earn an emotionless look but I can see they smallest hint of sadness hanging in the other mans eye.
"Let's go meet the team," he says and we take off to the meeting place, where Sakura and Naruto yell at us. We then go to the mission office (2) to get some D ranks.
(-Mission Office-)
"I'M SICK OF THESE D RANKED MISSIONS! GIVE US SOEMTHING BETTER," screams the Blonde one. My ears are ringing, for I was the unlucky person to be standing next to said screaming person, I have to shake my head to make it stop. this is how I figure out far into the series I am, we're about 2 weeks in maybe? probally more, and I'm guessing everyone is sick of collecting trash and catching that weird lady's cat.
"Dumb ass," I mutter to myself.
"Naruto, you being a genin deems you only eligible for D ranked missions." The Hokage sighs when he sees Naruto prepare himself to scream another complaint, but he interrupts. "How about this, I will give you a slightly higher mission, it is a low C ranked mission. All you have is an escorting job, but be happy with it."
I lower my chin and smirk to myself behind my high neckband; I realize what will be happening in the near future.
"AWSOME! So who are we escorting!? A princess?" Naruto's imagination and energy is excessive and I enjoy it thoroughly, it happens to be refreshing.
The Hokage laughs his…laugh, which I happen to hate, and smiles at Naruto. "No, you will be escorting Tazuna, a Bridge Builder of the Land of Waves, back home."
I shift my red contact eyes to the man entering the room carrying a large pack and guzzling down alcohol from a large bottle. An annoyed sound escapes my throat and the majority of those around me give me a look, I glare at them. I use the glare I had practice copying from Itachi Uchiha while watching the anime for so long, not as effective but still frightening. They all stop staring and pay attention to the current matter at hand.
"So these runts are supposed to be my escorts? They are mere children that shorty over there couldn't possibly do anything. These runts are worthless."
I cut Naruto off before he can make the stupid comment that makes him look like the idiot he can be. "You can not determine them worthless, unless you yourself witnesses that." Tazuna raises an eyebrow at me and takes another swallow of his alcohol, stupid drinkers.
"And who would you be? A vampire that is immune to sun light?"
"Oh no my dear, I am going to be on this little trip with them and I can guarantee I will make your life hell if you bother me." I almost forgot why I hated this guy, his annoying attitude reminded me. He glowers at me.
"Respect your elders."
Before I can respond Kakashi covers my mouth with a gloved hand. "Please do not mind her, she is just accompanying us." Kakashi gives me a look and removes his hand; I resist smacking him, again. "We shall prepare for the trip and meet in an half hour." And so we leave.
(-Beginning of the Trip-)
So far this trip is eerily quiet, then we pass by a very random puddle, I see Kakashi notice it too, at least someone has a brain. When we are attacked I'm pretty sure I was the only one expecting it. Naruto's hand is cut open by one of the ninja who then turn on me.
I have to easily evade some flying shuriken which implant themselves into a tree and then I am approached by one of the attackers, Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke busy with the other. "Oh great, I have to fight." Then, conveniently enough, I am drawn into a fight, well he swings at me with a kunai in one hand and I dodge. Barely.
I stop moving and point behind my attacker. "OH LOOK A CONVIENT DISTRACTION!" Honestly I hadn't expected it to work but it did and the idiot stops attacking and actually turns to look behind him. Then I grab him in a blood choke (3); his neck in the crook of my elbow and I squeeze tightly for 10 seconds and drop him to the ground unconscious. "Idiot." I may have either killed him or fucked up his brain, opps, my bad.
Kakashi finally takes down the other one and he ties them both up. He gives me a questioning look and I shrug. The jounin turns to the bleeding blonde. "You might want to drain the poison for that wound Naruto or you are going to die." Naruto starts freaking out, I roll my eyes.
"We should probably go back if you think that wound will effect our mission." Naruto gives his oath of pain and slams a kunai into the wound reopening it. The wound bleeds; Kakashi bandages it and I pretty much didn't pay attention since this part bore the hell out of me the first 10 times I saw it on Cartoonnetwork.
"Tazuna, would you care to tell us the truth about why this mission has been miss ranked."(4) The bridge builder sweats and explains how he has a man named Gato (5) wanting to kill him and stop the creation of the bridge so he can keep them under his power. We all come to an understanding and continue. Hurray for a complete and worthless amount of time spent. Maybe I should purposely let it "slip" that I know what will happen next and hopefully save time. I don't know but I'm pretty sure that this entire thing is annoying me, and I really wish I hadn't been chosen for this experiment, but I'll deal.
(-An Elapse of Time-) (Did anyone else notice that I'm getting lazier as I type?)
"Naruto, stop acting like an idiot, it is quite unattractive," I say to the blonde and snatch the kunai that he was about to throw, and a little white rabbit hops out of the bushes.
"See, you would've attacked a helpless rabbit." In the back of my mind I'm recalling the play of events form here and I duck down out of habit bringing Naruto down with me. I ear more weird looks. But they turn to shock as Kakashi orders for everyone else to get down and a large blade comes spinning by and digging up high in the trunk of a tree.
A few seconds later and a tall dark skinned man wearing bandages over his mouth and a hidden mist head band adorning his head sideways.
This is Zabuza Momochi.
-§TBC§-
(1)They aren't really claws, just acrylic nails with rounded and slightly sharp tips. I love having them.
(2)What is the actual name for it? I haven't the slightest idea.
(3)This is an actual move and I can really perform it, it defiantly does either kill you or do major brain damage. Hello, you're cutting of the blood flow to the brain.
(4)What did he actually say in the series?
(5)Isn't that a gay name for someone?
A/N: OMG!!!!!! A CLIFFHANGER!!! This chapter was amazing! Lol I'm kidding, even though I liked it I think it might need some work. Let me know in a review. PLEASE REVIEW IT TAKES 60 SECONDS!
