Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but I do own all my OCs.
If you read can you please review, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks! xBroken Heartx
Today I will be receiving help from my friend Traci (also known as Brokenx3Ninja on aim). Thanks Trace. She will be writing the fighting scene. Enjoy!
I came out of the bushes and stood before Kakashi-sensei, with one very wicked smile on my face. He looked up from his book and raised his eyebrow at me. I had to think of what I was going to do. 'I can't use too much of my chakra because I have to use the chakra I released for speed. So I guess its hand-to-hand combat. Oh wait! I have my chains. Hehehehehehe'
I reached in my pocket and got my regular chain out. It was about a six-foot chain. I then began to swing it over my head faster and faster its speed grew. By this time Kakashi-sensei got bored and went back to reading his damn perverted book. I then got my other chain out; this one had the spikes on it. I then did the same thing to it that I was doing to the regular chain. I then looked back at Rokeo and winked at her. She knew what this meant and came to my side. I then lashed my regular chain at Kakashi-sensei trying to capture him with it. Of course, he just reached out and grabbed it. I heard Sasuke scoff at this. 'I'm not finished! Baka! Just watch!'
I then lashed Vulchain (I named the spiky chain that) at him. But this time I aimed for the bells. One of the many spikes cut one of the bells off, just before Kakashi caught it. At this time Rokeo ran at super speed to get the bell. She got the bell and started trotting back to me. I then saw Kakashi let go of one of my chains and throw a kunai at Rokeo. I pulled back my chains as fast as I could and ran to Rokeo. I got there just in time to deflect the kunai. This filled me with rage. 'How dare he! Go after Rokeo! She didn't do anything! She was just following my orders! He'll pay!'
I told Rokeo to take the bell and sit on the side. I once again to both chains, but this time I used them as a whip. I was going to fuse my chakra with my chain but I remembered that my chakra was different. So I just kept lashing my chains a Kakashi and he just kept dodging them. When they kept missing him, I came up with a new plan and it involved my new dagger necklace. I made a few hand signs and yelled, "Spinning Dagger Justu!"
I then began to spin around like a ballerina and daggers came out of all directions. I could feel Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura tense, worrying that I was going to hit them. But the good thing with this justu is that you think of the person you want to daggers to hit and they'll attack that person. I then stopped spinning and noticed Kakashi had dodged every single dagger. 'Impossible!'
I then became very tired so I decided to go hide some more since I already got my bell. So I jumped into the nearest tree and once again concealed all my chakra. I then watched the rest go at Kakashi. Naruto continued with his direct attacks. All of a sudden I saw Naruto dangling from a tree. I went over and cut him down. "Baka." I said and went back into hiding. He nearly put his hands behind his head and smiled.
I eventually fell asleep in the tree I was in.
I then felt Rokeo tug at my pants leg and jump out of the tree. So, I followed her. I walked into the clearing to see Kakashi-sensei tying Naruto to a pole, and Sakura and Sasuke looked very disappointed. I then noticed the alarm was ringing. I quickly ran and sat down next to them."Your stomachs must be growling eh? About the results of this training, none of you have to return to the academy." Kakashi- sensei said.
"Well actually…." I began to say before a kunai breezed by my face.
I look at Kakashi who was the one who had thrown it. He just gave me a look that made me shut up.
Naruto gasped out of joy. Sakura looked puzzled. Then she started doing some kind of victory dance.
"Hold on. Does that mean...?" I started.
"Yeah, you four ... should quit being ninjas!" yelled Kakashi sensei.
I gasped. Naruto's face fell and he then began to complain. 'I am sorry mother I have failed you.'
I wanted to go run to just release my angry, sadness, and pain on something. But then sensei began talking. "It's because you four are kids who don't even deserved to be ninjas."
Now this got me pissed off. But before I could go after sensei, Sasuke went charging at him. "Sasuke! No! I wanted to kill him!" I whined.
Kakashi sensei stood calmly and then in a flash took down Sasuke and was sitting on him. Sakura was having a spazz attack, as I like to call them. I just sat there watching while sensei was explaining everything. I didn't want to hear it. I had tears in my eyes now, but nobody could see them because of my forehead protector.' I guess everybody was right all along. I am a worthless piece of shit.' I was paying attention in a quick second.
"Why do you think they broke you guys up into groups of three and four?" Kakashi was saying.
"Teamwork..." Sakura gasped. "It's teamwork! We need to learn to cooperate with each other and work together to succeed in a mission!"
"That's right. If all four of you came at me at once, then of you could've gotten a bell. The only one who came at me using teamwork was Furi with Rokeo." Kakashi sensei said.
I then sat up straight and smiled. "But she should have been working with all of you not just Rokeo." He said looking at me.
This made me slump back down. "But you only have 3! One of us would have to bite for the rest to pass!" Sakura said.
This was true. I am not very good at math but I know if there are only three bells and four people one person is bound to fail. "This test puts you four against each other. Those who pass prioritize their team ahead of themselves. But all of you were pathetic! Sakura! You cared more for Sasuke than Naruto, who was right in front of you, and you didn't know where Sasuke was."
"Pathetic Fan girl!" I yelled.
This time everyone glared at me, and Kakashi tied me to the pole and taped up my mouth. "Naruto! You tried to do everything yourself! Sasuke! You believed that the other three would just burden you and tried to do it yourself. And Furi! Yes, you did help Naruto, by cutting down him down. You didn't bother helping the others when they were in trouble. Don't even say that you don't really know them and Naruto is your only friend that's why. Because you don't even try being friends with anyone."
I just looked down at my feet. This was true. But since he died it's been hard, to make friends.
I then just closed my eyes. I heard Naruto and Sakura gasp but I didn't feel like picking my head up to see what it was. "Um…Kakashi-sensei is Furi alive?" I heard Sakura say.
"Um…I don't really know she seems to be breathing." Kakashi-sensei replied.
"Maybe if we should take off her forehead protector to see if she's awake." I heard Sakura say.
"Yeah I don't even know what her eyes look like! Take it off! I wanna see!" I heard Naruto exclaim.
I then felt some reach for my forehead protector. I shot my head up and started trying to get out of the rope. "She's trying to say something." Sakura said.
She then reached for my duck tape on my mouth and pulled it off. "Ow! Oh Yay I can speak! Now what was I going to say." I then began to think before I started again, "Oh yeah. DON'T EVER TOUCH MY FOREHEAD PROTECTOR. UNLESS YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH!"
The all took a few steps away from me. I then felt a kunai skim the surface of my skin. Kakashi then went over to the stone thingy. "Do you see this? The numerous names carved into this stone? They're all praised as heroes in this village." Naruto was wriggling with joy now.
I looked down at the ground. 'That's the stone Aiyana talked about. Some of her friends are on that stone and my mom got added to it. He also on that stone in a different village.'
Rokeo saw my face and came over to me. She then cut me free with her claws I fell down and thanked her.
"I like that. I like that! I've decided I'm going to have my name carved into that! A hero, a hero! I'm not gonna die a useless death!"
"These are not normal heroes... They are K.I.A."
"K.I.A.?" asked Naruto, with a huge grin on his face.
"Killed..." whispered Sakura, but before she had time to saw anything.
"Killed In Action! You Baka!" I yelled. Tears were falling from my eyes. I turned and picked up Rokeo, and ran.
"Kakashi-sensei go after her!" I heard Naruto yell.
"Not now Naruto I will talk to her later." He said looking at were I had run.
I went by a river and cried my eyes out. 'Why does everybody have to die why?'
After crying for about three minutes I dried my eyes. 'I should go back they are my teammates.'
So I got up and ran back. I saw Naruto still tied up. They all looked at me when I appeared. "I am sorry I left. That stone brings back bad memories." I said looking at the ground.
"It's okay." Sakura said while getting up and giving me a hug.
I was shocked at first but then returned the hug. Sakura then explained everything that had happened while I went away. Sakura shared some of her lunch with me while Sasuke shared some food with Naruto. Then Kakashi-sensei appeared and yelled, "You three broke my rules! Are you ready for your punishment!" yelled Kakashi sensei. He performed a seal, gathering huge, dark thunderclouds. "Any last words?"
I sat there in fear, my eyes very wide. Sakura and I were clinging to each other for our lives. "But, but, but! You said...That's why these two!" Naruto shouted.
"We are a four man team, right?" said Sasuke calmly.
I was amazed at how calm he could be. "Yeah! Us four are one!" said Sakura letting go of me.
I then pondered for a minute. "Yeah. We feed Naruto because we are teammates. Which means we used teamwork some how. Which makes us a team! Woo HOO!" I yelled jumping up.
Everyone sweat dropped. "You four are one, eh?" He came closer, with a freaky angry face. Suddenly, he smiled. "You pass!"
"What?" We all yelled in confusion.
"You four are the first. People I had previously were blockheads who just listened to what I said. 'Ninjas need to think beyond the normal' those who break the rules are called scum. But those were don't take care of their friends or teammates don't even deserve to live. Furi demonstrated that by saving Rokeo when I threw a kunai at her, because they are teammates." He explained.
"He's... He's kind of cool." said Naruto with his voice breaking up.
I then started doing my happy dance and Rokeo was hoping up and down.
"Training ends here! Everyone passes! The 7th group will start missions tomorrow!" He gave us thumbs up. "You can all go home now. Except you Furi I want to talk to you."
"Damn it!" I muttered under my breath.
Finishing my happy dance. Everyone left, but before they left I had to untie Naruto. "So, um…Furaia-chan. Do you want to get some ramen later?" He said blushing.
"Umm…well I can't Naruto," I said. He looked at the ground, "But you can come to my house to have some dinner."
He brightened up instantly. He nodded. I told him where I lived and to come at seven o'clock. I then waved to him as he walked off. I then sat on the ground and waited for Kakashi-sensei to come talk to me. Once, everyone Kakashi sat on the ground right across from me. But before he could start talking I heard a little voice yell, "Furi!"
I looked over to see Ami. I waved to her and she came running towards me with Thumper at her feet. She then gave me a hug tackling me to the ground. We both started laughing. "Oh sorry, Kakashi-sensei, this is my little sister Akemi. You met her last night." I said brushing the dirt off of me.
"Ami this is my sensei. Kakashi." I said to Ami.
She did a little bow. "You the man who scared Furi last night." She yelled pointing at him.
He just chuckled. "Akemi go home with Rokeo and Thumper. Tell sister I'll be home later." I said.
She nodded and ran off, with Rokeo and Thumper running at her feet. "Furi I told you to stay because I wanted to ask you two question." He said.
"Again with the two questions. Why must everyone ask two questions? Whatever okay shoot." I said looking up at the sky.
"When you fought me why did you use so little chakra you actually didn't use hardly any at all. Why is that? Even that one justu you did didn't use any chakra it came from a touch of the necklace."
'Shizz nuggets! How do I explain? Oh wait I got it!' "Well you see Kakashi-sensei my family doesn't have much chakra. We only do hand-to-hand combat or weapon-to weapon combat." I explained.
He just looked at me for a second and then said, "Well I know of only one clan who doesn't have chakra and does what you're explaining. That is the Tonikio clan. But you told me last night you are not related to them is that right?"
I nodded. "Okay next question. Why did you run away when I talked of the rock?" He said raising an eyebrow.
"That rock brings back memories. That is all I told my team and that is all you need to know." I said coldly.
I didn't mean to sound cold but I don't like talking about the subject. I then got up to leave. "Furi, why don't you open up to more people? I am sure they will understand and respect you." He said also getting up.
I turned around to face him. "No, Kakashi-sensei they won't. Nobody will understand they will treat me like they treated me before and the rest of us." I said.
I then turned and ran away.
Kakashi then had a flash back.
"Aiyana! What's the matter?" Iruka yelled.
"Nothing! Just keep out of it." She said coldly.
"Aiyana you can't keep things bottled up inside you. You have to open up to people they'll understand you." Kakashi said.
"No Kakashi they won't. Nobody will understand they will treat me like they treated me before and the rest of us." Aiyana said walking away.
Kakashi then snapped out of it. "They have to be related." He said.
I ran all the way home I then snuck into my clan compound. "Hey Yana, we're having Naruto over for dinner." I said sitting on the couch.
"Okay that's fine can you set the table for one more than. Akemi tell the guardians that they have to be in animal form for dinner." Aiyana ordered.
Akemi nodded and went around the house telling all the guardians. While, I set the table for one more. I then heard a knock on the door. Kin went and answered it. I looked over in complete horror. Not that Naruto was there but that Kin was there. He was going to totally embarrass me. "Hey you must be Naruto. Furi's over there in the kitchen." Kin said directing him over to me.
"Hey Furi-chan. Mmm what is your sister cooking it smells delicious?" He said.
"Hello Naruto-kun. Aiyana's making chicken stir fry and for desert she's making a cookie that is from our homeland." I replied with a smile.
"Yum!" He exclaimed with a wide grin on his face.
"Naruto-kun do you mind if I go change? You can talk to my brother if you want." I said looking at Kin trying to send him a message saying 'You better not embarrass me.'
Aiyana and I then headed upstairs to get changed. "So, you got a crush on this Naruto kid?" Aiyana said with a sly smile.
I just blushed and hurried up the stairs. I went into my room and pulled out a kimono that had been passed down to me. It was a black kimono with orange and red rhinestones on it that made flames. I then combed out my hair and put red eyeliner on. Aiyana, Rin, Akemi, and I all came out of our rooms at the same time.
Aiyana wore a long kimono that went to the floor. It was green, with brown studs that made a flower on it. Rin wore a short purple kimono with white beads on it that made swirls. Ami wore a long kimono also that was yellow with pink beads that made a star on it. We all had our long flowing hair down. We then all went downstairs to join the guys.
Naruto looked up and saw me coming down the stairs. He started blushing and continued to talk to my brother. Aiyana then called us all for dinner. Before we ate dinner Aiyana said a pray. "For those who have died; mother, our clan, Jeremiah, and many more. We raise our spirit to thee…."
We then began to dig in the chicken stir-fry. I watched Naruto and Kin eat. It was hilarious they liked devoured there food. I don't believe they chew it. After dinner was done, Naruto had to leave because it had gotten dark out. We said our goodbyes, and he left.
"You're aloud to come out now." Rin stated.
There were six puffs of smoke and when it cleared we saw all our guardians in their human form. "Oh, Furi. I forgot to ask who is yours and Naruto's sensei." Rin asked.
"Hatake Kakashi." I replied calmly.
Aiyana then went pale, Rin and Kin started laughing, Akemi had a confused look and the guardians disappeared; they probably went to bed since hey did have a rough day. "Aiyana what's wrong with you, Rin and Kin why are you laughing?" I asked.
Aiyana answered first since the twins were still having a laughing fit. "So, Kakashi is now teaching students, interesting. I'm fine Furi. It's just I never thought Kakashi would ever teach children. He's also a childhood friend that I left behind. It just pains me to hear about him and Iruka. It gets me thinking about why I left this village. Why I can't tell anybody? It's just too much. I think I am going to bed." Aiyana said getting off the couch.
This worried me she looked like a zombie. "Now why the hell you two idiots laughing" I asked turning my attention to the twins.
"Never mind." They said in-between laughs, "We'll explain later."
They went upstairs. So it was just Aki and I now. "Well, I guess we better go to bed. Goodnight Aki." I said giving her a goodnight hug.
"Goodnight Furi nii-chan." She replied. We then both went upstairs, and went to bed.
"Jeremiah! No! Leave Him Alone!" I yelled with tears streaming down my face.
I was on my knees in the mud, rain falling on my face. "No!" I screamed.
I tried to get up but someone pushed me back down. I could not tell who it was because my wet brown hair was in my face. I watched as the pushed him against the ground and stabbed him, blood pouring out of his body. They then picked him up by the neck and threw him against a tree. I was then allowed to get up. I ran over to him and put him in my arms and cradled him like a baby. His head then lay on my lap. "I love you Furaia." He said coughing up blood.
"How can you love me, I am the reason you are dieing." I said sobbing.
"Do not blame yourself. Now let me see those beautiful eyes once last time." He said with a smile.
" But…but…I might you hurt you." I said still crying.
"No, you won't. Believe me." He whispered.
I then untied my blindfold and laid it on the ground. I looked into his eyes as he looked into mine. Brown meeting green outlined with yellow. "Someone always gets hurt, when they're with you. All the villagers, your loyal people are dead, everyone you have ever loved is dieing." One of Jeremiah's attackers said.
"Furi stay…" He whispered.
"Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about! SHUT UP! JUST EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I yelled.
I filled with rage my eyes turned bright yellow. "Don't look into her eyes!" A different man yelled.
"Furi your losing control stop." Jeremiah said coughing up blood, those were his last words.
I wouldn't have looked down if I knew what was going to happen next. I looked at him, my eyes yellow. By looking at him for just a split second, I had killed him. I had stopped his heart by looking at him, killed the love of my life. He lay dead in my arms.
"Jeremiah! NO!" I screamed, "What kind of monster am I?"
Like a mother losing her child. For me it was losing the love of my life. I sat back against the tree. Cradling Jeremiah like a child hoping he'd somehow come back to me. "I am destruction. That is my purpose in life. Fire is destruction and so am I. Hopefully the moon will rise again." I said it over and over again before my sisters found me.
