Author's note: ok, I am so sorry for being kind of late! I've been so busy. So I would like to give thanks to everyone that is reading my story! Without you guys I wouldn't be motivated to keep writing! Thanks and also I will try to stop making so many mistakes. School is coming up and it's going to be harder to keep updating. So I will make a promise. I will at least update once a week! Also a lot of you guys are asking when the manga is coming out! Well I am here to inform you that we have finally made kotomi! She isn't how I wanted her but that is because she is child. What is she like 12? We just need Kaito and Kyou, - Kotomi-cryptic
Back to the fight! (Against Kotomi and Sakura.)
Sakura took the first swing, aiming for Kotomi's face. Kotomi swiftly dodged it. Kotomi moved so fast that anyone could barely see her movements. Sakura knew she was fast by how fast she moved her hands back in the forest but this; she could never predict this speed. She could barely believe it was human. This must be super inhuman speed. All the kids saw was Kotomi all of a sudden appear behind Sakura and see a flying round-house kick straight to Sakura's head, causing the ground to crack
"hmph. Next time you feel all high and mighty, I'll be sure to bring you right back down." Kotomi said bluntly.
Sakura's forehead was bleeding. Kyou and Kaito breathed somewhat relieved. It could have been a hell of a lot worse. She spared Sakura. That was the lightest she ever went on someone. They were quite amazed.
"Lets go. "Kotomi said, leaving towards home. She almost forgot how much people annoy her. Kyou and Kaito followed
In the middle of town (with kotomi's team)
Kotomi was visibly pissed." Let's go. I'm hungry." she said
"But where? We know any where to eat. "Kyou said.
"GAH! I don't care! Just give me some food before I die! "Her face was red now.
"Well there is a ramen shop across the street." Kaito said, trying to help.
"No! That crap gives me a headache. I am making food tonight!" she said. Kaito and Kyou looked at each other, with a terrified look. Last time she tried to cook she nearly blew up the entire kitchen." Well you guys should get going. I got some shopping to do." She ran off smiling before any of the 2 boys could say anything.
With Kotomi searching food stores.
"So, where to get food. "She asked herself. She walked around for a bit. She noticed how everyone was so friendly. Everything seemed uncorrupted. As if there was nothing to fear if she dared say. She decided to lie down on a hill and cloud watch. It was a leisure she really didn't have. She never had the privilege to relax so much. She enjoyed it very much. She started to rest her eyes, and daydream.
Inside her dream
She was on the outskirts of town; the beast guiding her threw the woods. She came upon an old run down house. She walked up to the porch. She opened the door to find a man. She felt sorry for the man dying before her. He was ninja. As to how he became in this condition, she has no idea. She doesn't even know how he got there or why she was led by the beast here. She decided to help him and return to town. When she got back to town, she saw at least a dozen bodies on the ground, dead, lifeless. She asked what had happened. The villagers said that a man had come into town and had slaughtered them for their money. He ran away after. She was horrified. How could someone kill for money! She wasn't aware why. She decided to try to help, although she was nothing but an orphan and a child. She was only four. She had to help though.
The next day she heard a scream. She ran outside. It was six in the morning and she hadn't got much sleep. She saw in front of her, it was the man she had healed.
"You" she breathed. He all of a sudden appeared behind her, holding a kunai to her throat. He looked at her as he started to lower his weapon.
"You're the girl form the forest. "He said in realization. He started laughing in a sinister way. "Now how could I possibly kill you after saving my life?" he asked himself. A nearby villager heard him.
"You did what? How could you help this man after he slaughtered all the innocent people from yesterday? Our people?" the village man said loudly, earning the other villagers' attention. "How could you do that?" someone said. "You little devil! You've been planning this the entire time, haven't you?" they all agreed that she had been planning against them.
"NO! I'VE DONE NO SUCH THING! NO! I didn't know what he had done until now! I swear! I-I swear." She cried out. The evil man laughed. "My, what an interesting little town" he said before he threw her to the floor, running away.
The man was gone, and she was in front of a mob of angry villagers, with a few fresh dead corpses in front of her also.
"We trusted you, you little devil! You little worthless devil! You betrayed us! Get out of our town! It your fault they are all dead! "A woman said. "No! we should kill her to make her pay for the sins she had committed and to pay for her crimes!" as man said and all the villagers agreed.
"NO! I've done nothing wrong." She ran as fast as her legs could carry her.
Dream ends .back to reality.
"I've done nothing… nothing. I've done nothing." She stirred in her sleep. She sat up when someone shook her. She rubbed her eyes to see… a pineapple? "A pineapple?" She was so confused. There was a floating pineapple in front of her
"Ha-ha very funny." She heard boy speak. She blinked at the pineapple. There was a boy with a spiky ponytail standing in front of her.
"You know I didn't have to wake you? You were talking so loud. You kept tossing and turning. Waking you up was really a drag." He said.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I must've been having a nightmare. Thanks pineapple head- I – I mean pineapple boy I – I mean boy. "She said trying to pull it off as if nothing happened.
"Its shikamaru."He said.
"Oh right, the guy from earlier. I remember you. "She said. "What are you doing here? Stalking me?" she said with a grin.
"What are you talking about? The real question is what are you doing here? This is my spot. "He said, lazily.
"Well, I was supposed to buy groceries but I don't know any good shops here."She said a bit disappointed.
"Well I guess I can help you." He said.
"If you insist, show me the way." She said standing up.
Does my head really look like a pineapple? He said self-consciously.
Authors note: sorry it took me so long to update! I was super busy and I have been so stressed out. I have come face to face with a new strange feeling and I'm not sure how to cope with it. There is this boy who is a childhood friend and best friend and I think I like him… a lot! . but tell me what you think of the story and I will try to update despite my dilemma as soon as possible.
