Got work… Got bored… Got bushed…
So decided to randomized some ideas again, hopefully to help get a decent plot for my other more anticipated fic.
Well, enjoy!
Disclaimer: Meh… I own nothing.

As Gato's tyranny bled Wave of its resources, so was the hope of its people. Many gave up on the idea of a miracle but that what appears to be happening to one Hiro.
A beautiful young woman entered and idly browsed his store. Her blonde hair was like spun gold and she wore an immaculate white coat that the cost may even be much more than this village. He was even more shocked that this noblewoman bought what's left of his produce for far more than what it's worth. The small smile may mistake her as an angel to aid this troubled land.
But the man knows that this is no angel. For this… creature was only using the mask of innocence as its bloody gaze showed barely restrained thirst.
He was able to catch how that smile turned sinister for but a second. He didn't miss how two of Gato's enforcers eyed her with greed and lust from a corner of his store. How the girl ignored them as she blissfully left with her meagre purchase. How the thugs wordlessly decided to come for him later as they foolishly took after her… to never be seen again.
The shop owner tried to console that those men deserved it for what they had done to his home. But it did not rid the nightmarish song of hellish scream and unholy mockery of laughter. He spent the rest of the night praying for protection and forgiveness while the blood money was left untouched.

"You're all going to die!" As they were waiting for the outcome of Naruto's reconnaissance, the rest of Team 7 coolly situated themselves in Tazuna's home. To the untrained their casualness in such dreary situation may appear carefree, which Kakashi felt that he will remedy later.
But the Jounin was beaten to it when the boy was restrained to his chair in black bindings before being brought face-to-face with his bespectacled student.
"Now listen here, little boy! This is the one reason why I don't like crying babies. They whine over everything they don't know." He decided to trust Sasuke's reassurance that Sakura won't go too far.
"So you lost your father, well Sasuke-kun his family. Your homes in shambles, Naruto-kun is in ashes. Your childhood is dreadful? I don't remember mine so I'm not sure how to compare that." Kakashi was amazed with himself that he detected subtle melancholy at the otherwise uncaring lecture.
"Let's not forget those close to you, those others in this room who may have experienced far worse yet still hopes for the better. So I suggest reading something else, fairy tales has so many plot holes." She finished as the bindings turned back in the sleeves of her outfit.
A screech caught all of their attention as they found a bat hanging in a corner. It then flew towards Kakashi before dissolving and leaving behind a paper with information… written in blood. There was even a PS in the end saying that the writer didn't have any ink.
"Well it looks like an invitation. Come on boys! We're late for a party!" Sakura cheered; reverting back to the playful troublemaker he became accustomed to. Before Kakashi could coordinate a plan, the girl was gone… like he was accustomed to.
Sasuke went to retrieve his sword, which coincidently was beside Inari. But he did something that reminded the scarecrow that this wasn't the Sasuke that was originally imagined. "Sorry about that kid. She may not say it, but she didn't like what you and this village are going through. In her way, she wants to help… hoping maybe your lives will be a lot better than hers."
Hefting the blade on his shoulder, the boy turned to Tazuna with a devil may care grin. "Don't worry; pest extermination is free of charge."

"Now all we need is some booze and this will be one hell of a party!" She had to agree with her teammate, this party was so much lacking in the reception. But that doesn't mean there isn't any entertainment as the agile kunoichi skilfully danced over strikes while shooting the demon. Oh no, Mr. Momochi and his accomplish are fighting alongside them against a horde of those nasty things.
After a short rematch, the midget appeared with his entourage to double cross him, dumbest idea if you ask. Zabuza didn't take it well and gone berserk. If she remembered her Villain 101, the final challenge must have a trump when things are not going their way. So Gato used a trinket to summon one big mean fellow to do his bidding.
The basic lesson in demonology is that summoning one requires an adequate sacrifice, usually in the form of blood. So naturally since no idiot was brave enough to be near that thing, the soon to be a stain on the floor was within arm's reach.
So here they are now, trying to destroy a giant bug demon. Worse was that it kept spewing cockroach minions, disgusting! Funny how only Kakashi seems to be trouble by this turn of event considering he had seen the Kyuubi once.
How did Sakura have time to ponder on this? It's because she was now guarding a downed Kiri-nin, who recklessly tire himself when it got personal. She admires and pities the selfless sacrifice of such beautiful face.
"Kasumi will have my head…" She heard Zabuza muttered before putting aside the heavy sword and in a veil of smoke summoned a smaller but majestic katana. With renewed vigour, he charged with his new weapon. The renegade demon fought swift like a falcon with the ferocity of a dragon, there was poetry in this ballade of blood.
"Humans are truly fascinating creatures." She turned to her current companion; respect was shown for such spirit amidst the carnage. Naruto then knelt before the fallen apprentice with that bloody grin. But seeing as now there was a new sitter, its Sakura's turn to join the fun.
