A/N: It's been a long time my friends, but I might not update as much but on weekends... but soon I'll update like I usually do. And, I LOVE TO WRITE! But I can't make a really long chapter... so... here it is! Sorry if you get confused... *Bows*
Warning: AU, and... a bit of surprises in here...
Konohagakure
10:21 p.m.
I enter my small apartment and leap to the couch, making a sigh of relief. But my races, I WANT TO KNOW WHO I'LL BE FIGHTING WITH! I squeal, I can't wait to fight them and show Sasuke how strong I am. Hehe, I get up and zoom towards the kitchen to make something. I scout around, but find nothing to eat worthwhile. I make a sad face and slump, then I make a smile as I take out my wallet.
"Ramen for me tonight!"
I yell out, then rushes toward the door… to trip over my rug. "AAAAAHHHH…!" I go face first to the floor, when suddenly somebody catches me. I look up to see none other than… than…
"UCHIHA SASUKE!"
I squeal, and almost fainted. Sasuke makes a face of annoyance, but I love his annoyed face. He stands me up and says, "I heard a scream and saw you like this." I make a face, a sly face. I know better, I made sure to lock everything in my apartment before I left and when I got in. So I decide to test him, just for a little bit before revealing him that I'm not as stupid as I seem.
"You came through me open window, didn't you? I did leave it unlocked."
He stares at me with caution, not knowing what to see to my lie and test statement. Sasuke makes a sigh and says, "You made a trap, so I could come in." I point my finger at him.
"HA! I lied! I locked my window! So why are you here Sasuke-kun?"
I go near him, making him back up. He looks away and says, "Nothing, I heard you scream." I make a face, with a sly smile. "You… do you… like me?" I now make a face of hope and happiness, making him turn to me with a face full of shock…
Kumogakure
10:30 p.m.
I'm going back home, to my baby sister Lia and my father. Tomorrow we're supposed to leave to Konoha, where they're hosting the competition. I can't help but think about who I'm going up against, I'm sure they'll be powerful and fearsome in their village. I make a grin, bring it on. Bring it on whoever you are, I will beat you in the name of my village and family! I stop in front of my door, and knock three times. I hear three knock coming from the other side of the door, making me knock two soft knocks… three second before the second one. The door opens to reveal my father, smiling brightly at me with his caring eyes. I jump on his, who stumbles backwards!
"Kia! You're too big for me to carry!"
I get down, and Lia closes the door behind us. Lia then jumps on my leg, making me walk with her hanging on. I then turn to father and bring out two hundred ryo, for the payment of our home and some food. Our family is poor, but we live through it and we have faith. My father makes a smile and says, "Where would I be without my baby girls?" Me and Lia go up to him and hug him to the floor. We laugh, and just lay on the floor staring at the ceiling of our precious home. I then turn to my father, telling him what my sensei told me today. My father turns to me and says, "My baby girl, going to fight off other girls such as you. I'm so proud of you my Kia. I'm proud to call you my daughter."
"I'm proud to call you my father, Father."
Lia makes a baby smile, making me turn to her and say, "And I'm happy to have a baby sister who's at the academy!" She laughs and squeezes in-between us, making my father pick her up and hold her high in the air… making her laugh and giggle…
Sunagakure
10:33 p.m.
I head back toward my village, I'm nervous on how the people I'm going up against. I'm so nervous, oh Buddha… what if I can't do this?! I enter the village gates and head home, but I stop to see my mother in front of me. Her hands on her hips, and her face looking angry as ever. Oh Buddha, I'm in trouble… bad! She walks toward me and says, "Yamamoto Shinzō! I was trying to find you, you weren't home and nobody has a fucking clue where you were!" I swallow, and say, "I'm sorry Mother, I was practicing my skills because-"
"Don't give me an excuse, Shinzō! Next time, tell me where you are next time! Gosh! You can't do anything right, can you?! Why can't you be like your brother and sister?"
Her words hit me like a sword piercing a loved one, making the other person scream in agony. I can't get her words out of my head, I can feel tears coming out of my eyes, my heart pounding hard like a drum. I… why… do I… have to… why… WHY AM I SO DIFFERENT?! Why can't I be like my siblings?! Smart and talented?! WHY DID GAARA CHOOSE ME?! I turn around and run away from her, crying my heart out. No, why is she telling me this?! Why am I not good enough? I am good enough! But what she says is law and the truth… but Gaara's words… I… I'm so… CONFUSED! I run out of the village, and I can hear her calling me back. But I keep running until she used her dark voice, making me stop. I don't want to fight with her, to argue.
"Shinzō, get your ass over here… NOW!"
I obey, and turn slowly towards her. I then stand three inches in front of her, which I receive a powerful slap from her… making my glasses fly six feet away from us. I can feel the imprint of her hand on my right cheek, burning, beating, and I know it's red. I turn back at her, who says, "Tomorrow, I better see you at your place. Or else, Shinzō." She turns around and leaves, leaving me alone. I fall to my knees, tears pouring out of my eyes like a waterfall. My stomach twists and turns, and I put my right hand on my hurting cheek.
"You can't do anything right… Why can't you be like your brother and sister?"
Her words echo through my mind, and I stand up again and turn left to pick up my glasses…
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
I scream in pure terror, stumbling backwards and trip and fall on my back. I look up again and I try to see who it is… which the image is blurry but I can make it out well. I swallow and stumbling to get up, but my legs shake like jelly. So I sit back down, looking at the man in front of me. "Hi Gaara-sensei. Um, I'm-"
"Don't lie to me, don't even try. I saw everything."
Gaara says so to me in a menacing voice, which kind of scares me. He come up to me and sits to my level, which means that he's sitting on his knees just two inches in front of me…
Konohagakure
10:36 p.m.
Sasuke is taking a "short" nap on my couch, HE IS SO CUTE! I just want to kiss him, but part of me is holding back. Oh well, this is good enough for me! To see Sasuke-kun asleep on my couch. I squeal, making him open on eye.
"I'm trying to sleep."
"Sorry! I can't help it!"
"Hn."
He closes his eye, going back to sleep. I quietly go over to the kitchen, to get some water and a little something to tidy me over. I see a gram cracker box that contain five gram crackers… good enough for me! I go out of the kitchen to see Sasuke gone. And I mean: G.O.N.E! I make a sad face, and I sit down on the couch. I make a sigh, then smile in delight!
"Sasuke slept here, in my home! On this couch!"
I make a baby squeal, and lay down on the spot where Sasuke once slept. I hope, one day… me and Sasuke… get together. I want to revive his clan, I really do! I smile, and close my eyes. I just can't wait for him to see who I really am, and for my competition to arrive…!
Next day
Sunagakure
8:00 a.m.
I open my eyes, to see that I'm in my bed… nice and warm under my covers. I snuggle my head on my soft pillow, going deeper into it. I feel so warm, so peaceful… so… so…
"Shinzō, get up."
I shoot up, turning to see a blurry red-head. He grabs something, then gives it to me… it's my glasses. I put them on and he says, "We have to leave soon, Shinzō. Get ready." I nod and get out of my covers, but I then stop and look at him.
"How did you… get in here? In my home?!"
He turns to me and replies, "I took you home, remember?" I shake my head slowly, making him go up to me and put his hand on my forehead. He closes his eyes, "Don't let her manipulate you, don't let anyone tell you what you should be and not should be. Be who you are, the good person I see inside you." He says quietly, as if someone might hear us. My heart pounds, and I can feel myself blushing. He opens his green eyes to look into mine, making me look away. I shiver when he turns my head back to him, making me shake.
You don't deserve him… your too stupid…
Too weird…
Too abnormal…
Maybe your sister can win his heart better than you, if you stand a chance…
I turn away hard and went to my drawers, but sand wraps around my wrists and ankles… making me face him. He goes close to me and says, "Stop it, you're only hurting yourself." I shake my head, I can never love him… I'm too… I'm too…
Weird…
I'm too stupid…
Yes, you are stupid…
You call yourself a-
My thoughts are interrupted when Gaara grab either side of my head, looking at me straight in the eyes. He then says with a smooth and strong voice, "You are a wonderful shinobi. I will not allow my people to go down the drain, I have talked to many people and have to restrain them in order for them to listen to me. I want you to say the following: "I am a strong Kunoichi". Say it loud." I shake my head, but he won't let up.
"Say it."
"But-"
"Nothing besides what I told you, nice and loud… now."
I swallow, have… I told you I talk to myself? Yes well, sometimes… never mind. I look at him and open my mouth to speak…
Kumogakure
8:13 p.m.
I go up to Killer Bee-sensei, who's writing in his little booklet for his raps. He looks up at me, and says, "We're gonna go, when my big bro gets his ten shot-gun here, yo~!" I giggle at this, looks like we're waiting for Raikage to get here. I stare up at the sky, while hearing the rolling thunders up in the heavens. I close my eyes, feeling nervous yet determined to show everyone what we got! We suddenly turn around to see Lord Raikage, who's walking toward us rather grumpy. Killer Bee sees this, and asks, "My bro's gotta problem, bigger than eight tail's period~! So what up, man~? Gotta take dump like my old man, Cesar~?" I bite my bottom lip, that was too funny… but Lord Raikage isn't in the mood for his brother's rapping. So he goes past him and says, "Come on Bee, let's go before I tear something up!" We follow him, and Killer Bee-sensei clears his throat.
"I got a brother, who's is in a foul mood for what I don't have a clue~! I might bring his spirit up, by some killing rapping by his own brother Bee~! Yo, you know what I'm sayin'… for my own gal, Kia, she gotta clue what this rappin' cool dude, yo~!"
I smile, Killer Bee is trying to annoy his brother but at the same time trying to ask what's wrong. I turn to Raikage, who is grumbling at himself. I close my eyes, going to read his thoughts…
Bee, if you don't shut your ridiculous rapping… I'M GOING TO-
"Lord Raikage, please… he's just trying to see what's wrong with you. He's worried, yo~!" I say, deciding to do a little singing. Raikage turns to me, then at a smiling Jonin. Lord Raikage makes a sigh, then says, "I… I… got dumped." Killer Bee-sensei and I look at each other in shock, then back at Raikage-sama. Killer Bee blinks at him for a second, then starts laughing like a kid on candy on Halloween night!
"BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"SHUT UP BEE! JUST SHUT UP!"
I smile at them as Raikage yells at a laughing sensei of mine, then my mind shifts toward the competition… I wonder how powerful they opponents are! I bet they're badass, or really emotionless and scary looking. Maybe think highly of themselves or like that Sasuke guy. I make a grin, I can imagine Suna's girl having jet black hair, pale skin, and fearsome black eyes. Having some kind of Earth Style Ninjutsu and heartless. Konoha's girl might have blonde hair with cherry red lips, thinking highly of herself and have powerful Genjutsu up her sleeves. Kiri's ninja might have red hair with emotionless eyes but loves torture of others with a powerful Water Style Ninjutsu as well as Genjutsu. While Iwa's girl is hard core rocker chick of some sort… I shouldn't think like this! I have to wait and see what they really are and look like. Plus, it's more fun to see what ninja the other villages show themselves as.
"My girl Kia is thinking of some beastly girls low beyond age~! I know Kia gots some skills of the-!"
"BEE! SHUT UP ALREADY!"
Ten miles away from Kirigakure
8:49 a.m.
We're sailing towards the Land of Fire. I don't care what these ninja got, I know I can take them down in a heartbeat. I turn to enter the cabin, and head towards the restroom. I turn to the mirror, to see my jet black hair that is shoulder length. My skin is fair, my eyes are a dark shade of hazel. Right now, they're dark green. I'm wearing a sweater of aqua and baggy pants. I get out, since someone is calling me. Oh, it's Lady Mei. She turns to me and makes a happy smile.
"Are you alright, Miku?"
"I'm alright Mei-sensei. Really."
"Alright, I just wanted to know."
Mei-sensei turns ahead, while I stand beside her. She's worried about me, but she has nothing to be worried about. I'm going to be just fine, I might get mere cuts here and there… but I'll make sure they'll remember my face and name. That Kirigakure is a village not to be messed with or taken lightly like Konoha. Maybe with some exceptions. Maybe.
Iwagakure
9:01 a.m.
We're at least twenty minutes away from my village. Gah, this is going to be so fucking boring. I mean, I don't want to fight some other ninja from different villages! I already know I'm going to whoop their asses to high heaven. Man, I don't want to do this. But if it's to please this really hot guy then fine, I want to be his only girl! NO ONE ELSE! He's name is Uchiha Sasuke, AH! He's such a sight for sore eyes, I swear! I look at myself in the mirror, I have curly blonde hair and I'm wearing red lipstick. I have very fair skin, and I'm wearing a hot pink shirt with skinny jeans. Anything else I need to say about myself? I'm good with Earth Style, that's all you're getting from me!
"Hey Ryu, un. Can you slow down, un?"
I look behind me to see my big brother, who's looking at me with his annoyed eyes of his. Oh, I have bright sapphire eyes… just to let you know. I turn back ahead of me and walk faster, but this makes my feet hurt.
"Ryu, un! Slow down, yeah?!"
"Shut up you sissy!"
"How about the both of you quit your yapping before I shut for ya?"
Tsuchikage-sama says to us, making me think: This old man… one of these days I'm gonna… ARG! He makes a chuckle, and says, "I know the two of you want me dead, but that's not happening anytime soon! Hahaha!" I make a face, and so does my brother… Deidara. We just want him to drop dead already… GEEZ!
Konohagakure
11:55 p.m.
I throw my kunai at the stump, but only one out of six made it to its target. I sigh out of frustration, but make a baby smile and retrieve my weapons. I know I'll get it this time, or Kakashi isn't my sensei! I make a sigh, then see Sasuke hiding behind the bushes. It's obvious with his raven hair of his, there's no such thing as blue bushes. So I ignore it for a bit, and say, "Man, I wish I could be with someone right now… to hold me in their arms…" Of course, I want him to come out… but I know a bit better than that. So I get back at my stance, but a force made me drop my kunai and blush furiously.
"I KNEW YOU WERE HERE SASUKE!"
I can't help but squeal, but he let go of me. He then says, "Yūbi, I don't want to be with a girl who'll squeal all the time." I make a face, "Why not?"
"It's annoying."
"So? I can't help it. You're like… the big shot besides Naruto!"
Sasuke blinks at me, then says slowly, "Besides Naruto? Are you saying that… Naruto is better… than me?" I make a slight grin, and tilt my head from side to side. I then scream in shock and surprise, then look to my right to see his hair. His arms around me and our chests close together, I feel like I could die right here… Uchiha Sasuke… hugging a fangirl like me… HEHEHE!
"Yūbi, please… can you stop that for five minutes?"
I can feel his breath going against my ear, making me blush furiously and nod. He then puts his hands on my shoulders and looks at me in the eyes. Oh my, they're so dark and I hope to fill them with happiness and excitement! I close my eyes, and lean forward to him. But I was driven down to the ground, feeling the powerful force of Sasuke's lips against mine. He breaks the kiss, and says in a smooth tone, "If we're going to be together, then I'm the one who'll be the "Alpha" of this relationship." I blush harder, this time… I don't have anything to say.
