I don't own Naruto I am barrowing this fic from
Naruto? Chapter 3 D-Day
During the next few days team seven were working their butts off. Sakura and Yumiko learned about each other during the five day they had to get ready for D-day. Yumiko found out that she was very powerful in taijutsu, thou she was not strong she made up for it with her speed and agility that she hid with some chakra weights disguised as bracelets and anklets. She was also trying to find out the secret to Tsunade's super human strength. Yumiko was able to help her with that.
"You're kidding me?" Sakura said on one of their breaks from the water walking and sparing.
"It's entirely true," Yumiko said as she slashed around with her feet in the water, "Tsunade-sama uses two methods for her strength, both which she passed down to my mother, Kushina Uzumaki, and my father Minato Namikaze."
Soon she explained how the two styles of strength enhancing worked. One dealt with mostly chakra control the other was chakra capacity. The chakra control style was mainly gathering chakra at your fist and releasing it at the moment of impact while the one dealing with chakra capacity was mainly pushing double the amount of chakra into your muscles to double your strength for as long as you have chakra.
Sakura didn't understand what she was talking about much and wanted a demo. Yumiko stood up on the water before stepping back on land.
"Here," She said as she pulled her fist back for a punch. When Yumiko's fist hit the ground it shattered. Sakura's mouth dropped at what she saw her lover do. After this Yumiko slowly taught Sakura the trick that Tsunade uses for her super strength, along with other neat tricks to help her in a fight.
A few days later Sasuke came to learn how to walk on water. After some coxing Sasuke also taught Sakura some family tricks that she could use. Soon the gang began sparing with each other to get their teamwork up to par for the battle with Haku and Zabuza.
During the breaks and the nights Sakura and Yumiko were getting some snuggle and make out time with each other since they would not have much when they got back to Konoha, even with Sasuke allowing them to use his family grounds along with Yumiko's real home. This had really surprised Sakura for a while but remembered the mask the two had to put up.
"How long do we have to keep our relationship a secret?" Sakura asked two days before D-day.
Yumiko looked sad as she stopped trying to do the hand seals for a new technique that Kakashi was teaching them "I really don't know Sakura-chan, I really don't know."
Soon it was the night of the fight with Haku and Zabuza, or as Sakura jokingly called the battle of water leaf. Tsunami, Inari, and Tazuna found out about Yumiko's secret after it was revealed to Sakura and learned about her past. Inari's views on the kitsune jinchuuriki instantly changed and started treating her with more respect thou Tsunami did go on the warpath about the mistreatment of the girl. That left Yumiko confused for a bit until her girlfriend explained it.
Soon team seven was finished finalizing their plans. They had decided that Yumiko would stay behind in case Gato tried something in tilt the odds in his favor. The reason for her being there was not only because of her mastery of kage bushin along with her accidental kekkei genkai.
"How can you have an accidental kekkei genkai?" Sakura asked one time when it came up.
Yumiko squirmed a little with that question but with a little bit of coxing from her bother she told the story.
"A few months after I meet Sasuke I was attacked by a huge mob, after they finished I was left for dead. Even with the Kyuubi's healing abilities I was going to die if I didn't get a blood transfusion. There were only two people that had my blood type of O-, Sasuke and Hiashi Hyuuga. Only with both was I able to survive but Kyuubi's healing abilities along with the new blood created an unseen side affect, a new bloodline that was a fusion of the two others."
Sakura was fascinated that her lover had a totally new blood like even though it was accidental. As for its abilities, well…
It's a secret. (Author smiles as he hears multiple face plants)
Soon team seven finally beat out the plan to a smooth shine but Sakura was worried, Yumiko saw her worry and took outside and towards the forest for a little privacy.
"Are you okay koi?" she asked.
Sakura just shook her head before she began babbling, "What if I mess up, what if I accidentally get you, Sasuke, or Kakashi-sensei killed, what if I?!"
Sakura instantly stopped talking when Yumiko began kissing her to calm her down. The upset girl just melted into the kiss moaning from the touch. When they parted a small string of spit still connected their lips.
"Don't worry koi; you're just as good as me or Sasuke, maybe even Kakashi-sensei. You may not have strength of body but you make up for it with your strength of heart. That is the most powerful weapon a Shinobi, human or other wise, could have."
Sakura just smiled softly as her lover gave her speech from her soapbox. She could feel the ocean of power behind the words as them filled her heart with courage and her mind with strength. Later that night while everyone slept, something began happening two the young couple as them cuddled each other for warmth. Red demonic energy or yokai began forming around Yumiko and began interweaving into Sakura's chakra pool. This yokai began expanding Sakura's pool of energy along with thickening the chakra coil lines some too. Deep inside Yumiko's body the Kyuubi in human form was concentrating her energy into her jailors mate, or one of them.
"I hope you like this, Yumiko," She said as she sat down in a chair that Yumiko created when they first meet, "You gave me a second chance when I deserved none for my actions in the past. I only hope that my judgment in the future is merciful."
Kyuubi began crying as she remembered her lover who was unmercifully killed along with their hanyou kits barely a few months born. Her lover was a beautiful and strong woman who gave her heart for an undeserving demon like himself. She just wishes that she was still around to comfort him in her time of stress.
"I wish you were here Kirei."
The next day's sunrise was like any other, but if you could feel the energy then you would say that something huge was about to go down very soon. Everyone was stressed about the battle coming around soon. Yumiko surprisingly kept on sleeping, but whimpered a bit when her pink haired teddy bear moved away from her. Soon Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi left for the bridge along with their client, but something was different with Sakura. If you look closely behind the pouches for her extra gear was, you would see two long thin metal strips peaking from behind.
About half an hour after they left Yumiko woke up and saw that her girlfriend wasn't there and was confused for a sec before she remembered what day it was. Using every curse that both she and the Kyuubi knew, which for a kid her age was very vivid, she began dressing. Instead of her usual clothes she dressed in something else. She put on a tight sleeveless dark crimson red shirt over her black sports bra; black and dark crimson ANBU styled pants with a kunai/shuriken holder on her right leg as well as a black leather belt with two pouches hanging from it.
Another addition was a dark brown leather and Kevlar vest that was built like a hunter's, with multiple pockets on the inside and outside along with a huge pocket that had two openings on the back for carrying large things it also had metal sewn in for extra protection, zipped up or other wise. After putting on her shin and forearm armor along with her gloves she put on a cape that doubled as a cloak and connected to her collar/Hitai-ate with two buttons on either side of the small metal plate. She also tied her hair into a long brad with a few bangs framing her face and kept away form her face with a black cloth used as a headband
Racing out the door with a quick, "See you later Tsunami-san," and a, "Move your lazy butt Kyu!!" she was out the door with Kyu racing after her.
Yumiko with her partner Kyu flew thru the trees trying to catch up with the other, but a flash of crimson made her stop and check out the ground. As she looked back she saw that it was a wild boar cut up with a sharp blade. She looked around and saw multiple trees with blade cut marks on them leading to…
"WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THE HOUSE KYU!! She cried as she raced towards Tazuna's house following the marks back with Kyu on her tail.
Back over at the bridge the rest of Team seven walked onto a scene of horror. All around the bridge there were cut up bodies, blood, and faces with looks of horror on them. Sakura gasped as she saw the gruesome scene while Sasuke and Kakashi just look on with out losing their breakfast. From the fog covered bridge a horrid laugh echoed all around them.
"Kakashi! Long time no see! Still babysitting the brats I see!" Zabuza sneered from the cover of the mist.
Soon Mizu bushin of the man appeared from out of the mist smirking evilly thru the bandages over their mouths. Sasuke and Sakura were both shaking, but kept calm cool and collected in the face of the demon of the mist.
"Looks like two of the brats are shaking in fear of little old me." Zabuza said while laughing evilly.
Both Genin lowered their heads as they slowly reached for their weapons.
"We're quivering all right." Sasuke said.
Sakura added her own two cents in too, "But not from fear."
As one they looked up at the clones with fire in their eyes, "But with anticipation!!"
"Sasuke, Sakura, go for it!!" Kakashi yelled.
Both Genin instantly vanished from their spots with only flashed of light showing that they were on the move. When they reappeared back in their spots the numerous Mizu bushin turned back into water as Sasuke and Sakura took a stance with their weapons out. Sasuke had two regular kunai out, but Sakura's weapon was entirely different. She held two small war fans in her hands. Each of the spokes of the fan had a thin metal tip that was great for stabbing or slicing, both also had an interesting picture that Sakura never got until her girlfriend told her the secret of the Kyuubi.
Each fan had a leaping golden Kyuubi with a lavender flame on three of it's tails, a sakura petal on another three, and final a small fan on the last three with a tiara on its forehead. Zabuza was surprised that what he thought was a weak fan girl was actually a hard core woman.
"Well Haku, looks like you have some competition." Zabuza said as he walked out of the mist with Haku behind him wearing her mask.
"Looks like it." She said sad that she had to fight one of the two she thought were cute.
Both Sasuke and Sakura were lightly growling seeing someone they thought was an innocent, work for their enemy. Both Genin gripped until their weapons till their knuckles turned white from the pressure. As one they both said the same thing.
"This one's ours!!"
Both kids saw red as they created some Kage bushins, which they learned, from Yumiko, to protect Tazuna as they stared down Haku. Sakura was surprised that she wasn't tired like she usually was when she used the kage bushin but decided to worry about that later.
"It was quite the show you gave us masked man," Sasuke said while making Haku think that they thought she was a man.
"But the curtain has closed and it time to party!!" Sakura said letting her mask go revealing her true attitude of a tomboy.
"I guess it is." Haku said before a copy of Haku appeared beside her and both vanished before appearing in front of the Konoha Genin, one for each of them.
With that it became Konoha vs. Kirigakure nukenin, while Yumiko was racing to save the family that treated her like a normal human instead of a demon. Will she get there in time to save them as well as save her love after words, or will it all go down the drain just as she found her happiness. We'll find out soon, I guess.
