Thanks again for the input. Here is chapter three. I'll try my best not to disappoint the audience. Oh by the way, I don't own Naruto, but I do own my OC character Kira and her family.
With You forever 3
"To tell you the truth, (looking around again) I'm a super hero."
"Ah!" They all fell to the ground.
"Baka! Who the hell is going to believe that crap?!" Kria giggled.
"I can be a super hero, if I really wanted to. A vigilante like Batman. Cool, huh?" Sweat drops. 'This girl is almost as lame as Naruto.' Kakashi thought.
"I'm just kidding. Well there's not much to it, I travel from place to place trying not to cause so much trouble. My family kind of works for the government and they want me eliminated so I can't afford to stay in one place for too long."
"The government?" Sakura asked
"Well I guess you can say they control major aspects that keep a society running, like the media, the council and such. They have eyes everywhere. They're the ones that clean up underground workings of the higher us kind of like your Hunter-nins and Anbu."
"They sound like powerful people." Kakashi commented. Kira nodded.
"Yes, very. They try to make my life a living hell, but I guess after living it, it's not so bad you, eventually get used to it. You just gotta keep moving forward." She struck her victory sign and winked. "Hehe." They were quiet and gave her a sympathetic smile.
"Keep moving forward…" Naruto bitterly laughed. 'That's about all we can do.' (A/N: I love Meet the Robinsons! Go watch it!)
Kira saw them a little down and mentally smacked herself. 'Good going dufus, now you got them all sad.' So she decided to change the subject.
"Naruto." He looked at her.
"We start tomorrow."
"Ossu." Naruto grinned excitedly. Kira smiled. 'One of Naruto's greatest weaknesses, his love for training.'
"It won't be easy though, so get a good nights rest, you're going to need it." He nodded. There was a moment of silence. Then Kira broke it again.
"So…where is this ramen place you've been telling me about all those years?" They saw Naruto's eye brightened.
"I thought you'd never ask! But you just ate." Kira pouted.
"But I'm still hungry." Everyone's eyes widened. 'But she just ate all that food.' The food Naruto brought her was pretty massive for a girl and now she was asking for more. 'Where does she put it all?' Sakura wondered. Kakashi stood up.
"Actually, ramen sound pretty good right now. Why don't we all go for some? We should call Sai too." So they were off.
Sai met them there and when they got there, they bumped into Shikamaru and his team. Ino stood up when she met eyes with Kira. 'It's…her.' Kira's smile didn't falter, but she was surprised.
"It's been a while hasn't it, Ino." Ino was couldn't move, her hands started to shake and her mouth started to dry. Shika raised an eye brow. Everyone else was confused, even Naruto.
"Oi, Ino, do you two know each other?" Ino snapped out of her shock and sharply turned her head away from Kira's gaze.
"No, this is the first time I've ever seen this person." Kira's smile faltered slightly, but quickly covered it with a laugh.
"Aha…of course, sorry. Nice to meet you, I'm Kira! Are you guys Naruto's friends?" Shikamaru gave Kira calculating eyes.
"Ah. The names Shikamaru, this is Chouji and that's Ino." Ino stood up.
"I'm not feeling well. I'm gonna go for a walk."
"But it's getting dark out." Sakura commented.
"I'll be fine." And Ino left. Kira sigh.
"I feel terrible. I'm sorry, but I'm gonna keep an eye on her. You guys enjoy your time."
"Matte. Who are you? I've never seen Ino that shaken up before." Shika asked.
"I'll explain later. Right now, she needs me more. (She turned to Naruto.) Naruto, I'll see you at home, okay?" Naruto nodded slightly. Kira smiled and waved bye.
Ino was walking towards the park to get some peace and quiet. 'Why is she back?' Then she heard foot steps behind her. She turned expecting Shikamaru and Chouji, but it was her. She was out of breath from running.
"Wow, you walk fast." Kira laughed lightly. Ino snorted and kept evading her.
"Wait Ino!" Ino was mad.
"Why?! Why are you back?!"
"Ino…"
"Don't Ino me! Leave me alone!" Kira appeared right in front of her and grabbed her hand.
"Let's talk." Ino struggled to get her hand our of Kira's grasp, but Kira was simply too strong for Ino.
They pick a big tree to sit under. They were silent for a while. It gave Ino time to cool down, then she started talking.
"Why are you here?" Kira was looking at the sunset.
"I came to help Naruto control his power."
"And what are you going to leave again?"
"Yes, right after I finish." Ino was getting mad again.
"Then why bother?! Why not just leave now, like you did last time?! (Ino started trembling and tears fell from her eyes.)Why did you leave me? Why didn't you take me with you?"
"I had to."
"Why?!"
"Because, I would have put you and everyone else in danger." Ino's eyes widened.
"What?" She knew Kira wasn't lying, she was bad at it.
"Listen, the reason I left was because there are people out to defeat me. I didn't want them to find out about you, so I left." Ino felt a little reassured and wiped her tears. She was afraid Kira might say because she was weak.
"Why didn't you tell me before hand?"
"Well I didn't have time, but I didn't want you to worry about me."
"But I was worried." Kira stuck out her tongue.
"Sorry. Anyways, how have you been progressing?"
"Well, by law I can't exactly practice what you taught me freely, but I managed. But I don't know. I look at all my friends and they've gotten really strong. I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't progressed."
"Mm, Ino, you don't know how far from the truth you are. Strength doesn't only come in one shape or form, you just need to find your strength and grow in it. What are your strengths, Ino?" she thought about it, but unfortunately she couldn't think of any.
"I don't think I have any."
"That's because you're comparing yourself to everyone else around you. Ino, your strength lies within your mind. It's amazing how you haven't gone insane from going into so many minds. You have the most stable mind I have ever encountered; it's most likely because of her family ability." Ino scoffed.
"What good is a stable mind if it can't do anything to the opponent?"
"Don't underestimate your ability. I wouldn't have taken you in as my apprentice, if you didn't have that. I'm not a ninja, so I don't know very much about it, but as a magician, mind stability is everything. It's the source of our power. Ino, I want you to apply your abilities to your missions."
"Eh? But isn't that breaking the rules?"
"Not if you fuse it into your ninjustu. That's legal because technically it's not magic. You've only enhance your human capacity." Ino's eyes got brightened.
"I see. Okay, I'll try it." Kira patted her head.
"That's my girl." Ino blushed. "But I can't help you with this. You have to find this on your own, okay?" Ino nodded in understanding. They caught up on what's happened in their lives and Kira took Ino home.
When Kira got home Naruto was meditating with books on his head ad scroll or two sprawled on the floor. She wanted to sneak around and pounce on him, but he was just too quick and had caught her by her ankle with a triumphant smirk. He stood up while he held her up which caused her to dangle.
"Hiya Naruto. How was ramen?" Naruto gently dropped her.
"Not fun without you. Everyone had a lot of questions and attacked me."
"Hehe…sorry about that." Naruto went into the kitchen and brought out some riceballs with tea.
"Thought you might get hungry. (Kira accepted them happily.) So how do you know Ino?" Kira had a mouthful of food.
"Long stolie shot, she wa ma appentic." Naruto gave her his 'Eh?!' face.
"Stop talking with your mouth full, baka. I can't understand you." Kira swallowed her food.
"Long story short, I took her in as my apprentice at one time, but because of family issue. I had to leave and didn't get to tell her. She's been mad at me ever since, but we're okay now."
"Ino was your apprentice?! What can she do? She's not born of magician blood."
"You don't have to be born of magician blood to use telekinesis."
"Tele- wah?"
"Ino has the ability to project her mind into others, right?" Naruto nodded.
"Well I helped her enhance her ability to use her mind in different ways. Telekinesis is the ability to move objects with your mind. It's using the same principle of her mind walking in a different way. And I also taught her telepathy, to be able to read and talk to others through the mind."
"Whoa. If she could do all that, then why hasn't she used them during the past years?"
"Probably because she wasn't sure if she could use them. There are certain rules and regulations about using magic in a foreign place."
"Heh. How do you survive with all those rules?! I would be so irritated."
"Yeah it gets irritating, but I bet you look really cute when you're irritated." Kira giggled as Naruto slightly blushed but bonked her on her head.
"I thought I told you not to say stupid things baka."
"Sorry. Anyways, you should really go to bed and take the bed, you're going to need it way more than me." Naruto was too tired to argue.
"Fine, I'll make it up to you with breakfast." Kira got all bubbly inside.
"Aww you're so sweet. You're going to make a good husband someday."
"What did I say about stupid comments?!?!" Kira ran from him as she chased her with a nearby throw pillow.
Once she was sure Naruto was asleep, she teleported on the roof. There was someone waiting for her. She went up to her.
"How may I help you?" The figure reassured her that she was not here to fight.
"Kira, I'm here with a message." She came into the light. It was one of her cousins, Nelson, she wasn't too sure whether she could trust her, but listened.
"I came to tell you to be careful; they're on to you and will strike at anytime." Kira was confused.
"Why are you telling me this? Aren't you supposed to be against me?" Nelson looked down at the cracks on the roof.
"I don't know myself. You might not believe me when I tell you this, but he's really worried about you." Kira looked away knowing who she was talking about, the man that took her heart.
"Oh."
"I need to leave."
"Wait." She stopped and turned to Kira.
"Please don't hurt these people." Nelson's eyes widened. These moments confused her.
"I can't guarantee anything." Kira gave a dejected look.
"But I'll try." Kira's eyes twinkled with a little hope.
"Thank you." Nelson left through a portal with a smirk.
Kira stood on the roof for a while and stared up at the stars and prayed. 'I pray for their safety and the strength to protect Naruto.'
"I will protect you, Naruto." She whispered. She didn't notice, but someone had been listening in. A black owl flew into Sai's apartment and listened to the owl speak. It was to confirm whether he could trust her or not.
"Hn, I guess she really does care about Naruto-kun." Sai let out a sigh. 'That's enough for me.' With that he went to bed. Kira slipped through the window and fell asleep.
Sakura, however, couldn't fall asleep. Just knowing that Kira was under the same roof as Naruto bugged her. Seeing his attention always on Kira hurt her. The way Kira talks about Naruto so highly, made her feel envious. She tossed and she turned, then stared up at the ceiling. 'Why can't I do anything right? I promised to not be a hindrance to Naruto and what did I do? Missed our chance to get Sasuke-kun back. And to see Sasuke-kun with a new team, I bet that really hurt Naruto. Why is it so hard for me to cheer him up?'
'Hello? Have you ever tried?' Inner Sakura argued. Sakura felt a little guilt.
'Not really, all I ever remember is hitting him a lot.'
'Yeah, I know you guys are friends and all, but one day his not going to take that abuse anymore. What are you going to do when he walks away from you too?' Inner Sakura asked.
'What should I do?'
'First get over the bastard that left you. Second just act normal, be his friend, just don't hit him so much.'
'I can't help it; he does too many stupid things.'
'Do need to put a restraining order on you?!'
'No ma'am.'
'Good. Now go to bed.' Feeling a little reassured, she fell asleep.
The next day, they all had breakfast. It was the day Kira was going to start training Naruto. Kakashi was still a little peeved that everyone kept taking Naruto away from him, but it was for Naruto own good. He just felt guilt because he hasn't done much for him. His teammates were curious to how Kira was going to tame the beast inside Naruto. From past experiences, it wasn't an easy task and it wasn't going to be, but Kira had faith in him.
Kira didn't know how to tell him, so she decided to put it bluntly. It was easier for him and her.
"Naruto, we start today. Hopefully you're fully rested, yes?" Naruto gave her his foxy grin.
"Oossu!" Kira smiled. 'It's good to see you smile like that Naruto.'
"I'll tell you the procedure of this training. It's very difficult and there's a 99 per cent chance that you will not come out alive." Naruto gulped. 'I was afraid she was going to say that.'
"However…" Naruto 'oh.' Kira gave him the nice-guy pose.
"I have faith that you will make. I believe in you 100 per cent." He shocked with happiness.
"Then I definitely can't fail with those words of encouragement!"
"All right. The purpose of this training is to control your demon. In order to do that you need to fuse your soul with the kyuubi's." Naruto's mouth dropped.
"Are you serious? What if it takes over my soul when we fuse together?" Kira stopped him.
"Let me finish little one. In order for you to fuse, you must defeat kyuubi at the spiritual level. And in order for you to fight in the spiritual level, you have to be dead."
"What?!"
"Let me finish. You'll only be dead during the time you're battling kyuubi. Your soul will temporarily be in a different plane, so you won't technically be alive, do you understand?"
"I guess so, it just means I'll be in an coma, right?" Kira smiled.
"Yes, oh you're so smart. But there's a time limit to how long you can fight kyuubi."
"How long?"
"24 hours. If you cannot beat kyuubi in 24 hours, then unfortunately that'll be the end. Kyuubi will devour your soul and I will be force to kill you. So I'm asking you now, are you willing to take that chance, Uzumaki Naruto." Kira asked seriously. He gulped, she rarely did be serious, so whenever she was, he was very cautious not to anger her.
"Of course I'm going to train you in the spiritual plane before going into the actual fight, but I still want to make sure if you're sure." There was a moment of silence. Then Naruto raised his head with a smirk.
"This will get me closer to knocking some sense into Sasuke-teme. There's no way I'm going to pass up this opportunity." Kira smiled and nodded.
"That's my Naruto. Let's get started. Come on, I'll take you to the place we'll be training for the next month."
Yamato, his team and Kakashi were being informed that Naruto would be MIA (MISSING-IN-ACTION) for a month or two.
"Eh? For a month? Where is he going to be?" Sakura asked. Then they heard Naruto's usual loud voice through the walls.
"EH!? You're telling me, I'm going to be training here?!"
"Yes! Aren't you excited?!" sweat drops…even Tsunade.
"Aww man I thought it'd be some place cooler."
"This is cool! I've never seen such a cool place in my life!"
"You obviously do get out much do you?"
"What do you mean Naruto? I'm always out and about."
"You're such a baba."
"You can call me baba-chan!" He bonked her on the head again.
"What have I told you about saying stupid things?!"
"Sorry. Ah we're here." KNOCK KNOCK. Tsunade chuckled lightly.
"Come in, you two."
When the door opened, they were greeted by a frustrated Naruto and a very happy and energetic Kira.
"Ohayo gozaimasu! (Good morning!)"
"Uuissu." Tsunade couldn't help but laugh. That's scared everyone, Tsunade doesn't usually laugh…out loud.
"There someone even more hyper than the brat." Kira gave her the victory sign. This was just too much for the morning.
"Is the room prepared Hokage-sama?" Kira asked calmly. Tsunade nodded.
"Come follow me. The rest of you are dismissed." They were curious, but they knew better than to go against the hokage's order. Tsunade knew what was to happen and was very worried, but Kira told her not to so she tried not to. They got to the room. It was a regular old room with a futon in the middle.
"Naruto, go sit on the futon." He did as he was told. Kira sat in front of him.
"Okay, calm yourself and breathe deeply." Naruto did as he was told. Kira put on hand on his shoulder and other covered his eyes.
"Now go to sleep." He felt himself leave his body. Tsunade saw his body go limp in Kira's arms. Kira carefully laid him upright. A magic circle started to glow underneath Naruto. Kira sat against the side of his futon Indian-style and put her finger tips together like a pyramid and closed her eyes. Tsunade closed the door.
"So it has begun." And walked back to her office.
Naruto opened his eyes to see Konoha, but it was empty. 'What's going on? Where is everybody?' Then he saw Kira teleport in front of him.
"Welcome Naruto, to the spiritual planes." Naruto's eyes widened.
"This is…it?" Kira smiled.
