AN (WaffleLuvaa): Yaaays! Chapter 3! R&R!
We've been running for a few hours now and Amaya won't shut up! Geez. Why does Nee-san keep teasing me! I do not.. I do not like Naruto! Grr!
'Deniaaal~'
'Shuddup and quit reading my thoughts!'
'Cranky much?'
'who do you think made me cranky!'
"There it is!" Naruto shouted while pointing to the sand village. We were running up to the gate and we saw a girl with blonde hair. A sand ninja.
"Ah! The leaf ninjas! Hurry this way!" a guard shouted. We started running with the girl following.
"What's going on!" the girl said.
"Temari, Gaara has been captured by the akatsuki and Kankuro was poisoned." Sakura said.
'What the hell! I'm gone for a couple days and all this crap happens!' She thought.
Naruto tensed up while holding me and started to pick up the pace. We busted open the door and we saw the boy on the medical bed. From one glance I knew what it was. The toxin was going into his vital organs. I grabbed one of the near by crutches and told Naruto to put me down.
"I'll help. We need to extract the toxin from his vital organs first. Sakura, help the medical nins get the herbs and medicines on this list. For now we're going to do a quick check up." I said then handed Sakura the list.
'I ment you by 'we''
'I know~'
Amaya and I walked over to the boy (well I limped).
'You check the eyes. I got the heart beat.'
'Mm Kay!'
'And you're the older one? I'm so much more mature.'
'No your- ... Okay maybe a little!'
"did you record anything?" Amaya asked. One of the medical nins nodded and handed her the clip board. I peeked over.
"Ah, I was right. We better do this quick."
Sakura came back with the supplies and I showed the medical nins how I wanted them to combine them. I glanced over at Naruto a couple times and he was staring at me the whole time so I blushed a little.
'Checking out Naruto in the middle of an operation hmm?'
'Shut up! Am not! You're so annoying!'
'Just telling the truth.. Geez..'
We started the operation.
"Akemi, you do it. You're better at the medical stuff."
"Okay. Everyone hold him down. It's going to be a bit rough.. Sakura, I'm going to insert this into his body, you pull it out."
She nodded and it began. I would push the fluids in while Sakura would pull them out. This continuous motion throughout the hour. I would feel a stabbing pain in my ankle but I had to ignore it.
'Akemi-chan is so cool..' Naruto thought.
It wasn't that bad of an operation. It only took about an hour and Sakura left to make some antidotes.
I sighed and sat down in a chair and looked at my -now purple- ankle. Damn. I put to much weight on it while doing the operation.
"Nice job little sis. Now we just need your ankle fixed!" Amaya said.
"Really now?" I said sarcastically.
"Hey! Sarcasm is my thing!"
I chuckled a bit. "it is, isn't it?"
"Hn! So what do we do now?"
I thought for a moment. What do we do now? Was this their mission? Were we really going to go to the leaf? What about our mission to destroy that bastard who killed our parents? What about.. My possible 'crush'?
"I.. I don't know.. But we need to kill that jerk! If we really do go to the leaf, wouldn't it hold us back? What if.. What if that bastard destroys the leaf too? They always takes what's precious to us!"
"That's true... But what about.." she started then switched to thoughts. 'Dont you like Naruto?'
"I-I don't know okay!" I replied then walked out the door with the crutches. Amaya remained on the chair to let me think. I sat down on a bench outside.
What am I going to do? Wait why should I have to even think about it! I should be worried about avenging our parents!... Right?
I felt strong arms embrace me from behind. I saw the orange on the jacket so I knew who it was. I blushed.
"N-Naruto? W-what are you doing?" I asked. He let go and blushed a little.
"S-sorry.. You looked depressed and it seemed like the right thing to do!" he mumbled. I smiled.
"Thanks.."
"Umm yeah. So.. What's wrong?"
"Everything."
"Like?"
"My life.. Our clan leader killed our parents, my ankle is fucked up, and here I am trying to think up an answer to the question my sister asked."
"Is that so? What question?"
"What are we going to do now? We can't just stay in the leaf. We need to avenge our parents.. I need to avenge them.." Naruto's eyes widened as I said that.
"You sound like Sasuke.."
"Maybe I do.."
"You should forget about vengeance and come to the leaf.."
"I can't. I won't. I.. I-I..." I felt my eyes water up a bit.
I haven't cried since our parents died. I've always held everything in. All of my emotions. I never showed anyone but Amaya the true me.
He held me firmly against his chest. I hugged him back and for the first time in ages, I cried.
I heard a big "AWWWWHHHH! 3" come from non-other-than my big sister Amaya.
I giggled slightly while also being a little ticked off and wiped away my tears.
'So I guess we're staying in the leaf?' she asked.
'Do I have a choice? You are going to stay for sure and I can't leave without you right big sis?'
'Yeah, that and I can trust your 'foxy prince' over there to take care of ya! ;)'
'You crack head...'
