Hi again! How are all of you beautiful people?! Good? Not so good? Well however you feel, I hope that you feel swell. X3 Also, I just recently found out that Shizune is only 18! So in this story, I'm making her about 29 and Anko will be about 33. The girls are in their teen years. Temari: 18, Tenten: 18, Sakura: 17, Karin: 17, Ino: 17, Hinata: 16.
Yes, I know that Anko and Shizune are way to young to have children of that age. I just did the math and if these girls are that age, then Anko and Shizune would have been 15 and 11 when they got the girls. So in this story, just think that Tsunade got the girls and then when they got older, she passed the girls down to Shizune and Anko. Okay? =3
Anyhow, lets get to the story, shall we? Naruto does not belong to me, but instead to Masashi Kishimoto.
… Gangnam Style …
Shizune looked at the girls with a shocked expression, along with her sister, Anko. What the two were mostly shocked with was how Hinata actually agreed with her fellow sisters about going on this trip. Hinata actually vouched for demand to go.
"Hinata..." Shizune mumbled to herself. At this moment, she was very proud of her daughter. She was amazed at how she went from cowering over her dream to wanting to actually take on the dangerous trip with her sisters.
Anko blinked her eyes a couple of time before she spoke. "Hinata... girls... are you serious right now? You would actually risk your lives on this trip?"
Sakura folded her arms in protest. "Of course! We are strong individuals, and just like Hinata said, when we're together, nothing can stop us!"
"Also," Tenten added. "Who said anything about 'risking our lives'?"
"Yea! No one is going to die on this trip." Ino agreed, raising a fist in the air in a victorious manner.
Shizune and Anko looked at one another. Shizune spoke.
"Girls, please don't take this the wrong way,but... we just don't want you to end up like those children from Anko's story."
"We'll be worried about you dearly." Anko added, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Mother, auntie... we can handle ourselves. Nothing will happen to us at all." Temari stated with a stern yet sincere expression plastered on her face.
Anko looked worriedly at her nieces, but then, after a good long look at them and their determined faces, her worry turned into relief and pride.
"You know. Fine." Anko stated, closing her eyes in the process.
Shizune turned to her sister, hands at her sides and eyes widened in shock. "What?!" she yelled.
"I said fine." Anko replied, looking at her sister with a smirk. "If they say that they will come back a-okay, then I believe them."
The girls all smiled at the statement from their aunt. Finally they got someone to side with them. Now all they need is the approval of their stubborn mother.
"Anko! How can you just change your mind like that? What if they screw up and they don't come back home safe? What will I do then?" Shizune yelled once more, this time tears were streaming down her rosy cheeks.
Anko looked at her sister sternly with hard eyes. "Now your just doubting their capability of protecting themselves. Quite being a god damn crybaby and learn to have some faith I your own fucking children!" Shizune's eyes widened a great deal with her mouth agape. She was truly shocked.
Anko, however, just looked at the girls, but directed her statement at her younger sibling. "Now I know that they may not be your real children, but children from adoption, but that doesn't mean that you can't have faith in them as if they were your real kids. I mean, you've always had faith in them when their dealing with criminals or other horrible beast that are thrown at them." she turned to her sister once more. "So why can't you trust in them now?"
Anko bore a pleading look. She was determined to let the girls have their way. In her mind, she thought that this trip would probably be a great way to improve their skills in combat. That is if they ever come across the demon. All Anko wanted to do now was help them in whatever way she can.
"It's just," Shizune started, staring at the hardwood floor. "This thing isn't like any other thing that they have faced before. They could really die this time." her fists clenched at her sides at the mention of them possible dieing.
Suddenly, Shizune felt a hand rest on her shoulder. She looked up to see that the hand belonged to her meek daughter, Hinata.
"It's o-okay to care, mother, but au-auntie Anko is right. I beg of you, ple-please have faith in our ab-abilities. Have faith i-in us." the young girl stammered, a small yet determined smile showing on her features.
With one look at that smile, Shizune automatically knew. Next thing that happened had the room filled with cheers of happiness. Shizune grabbed onto Hinata's hand and pulled her youngest daughter into a tight hug. She then pulled away and wiped her tears from her eyes as she smiled brightly at everyone in the room.
"Your right girls. As of this moment, I will no longer be holding you back. If you girls thing that your ready to take on this type of challenge, so be it!" soon after, Shizune started to laugh. "And who knows... you may not even run into the demon on your trip."
Pretty soon, everyone in the room was either laughing along with her or cheering that they get to go on the trip after all. Suddenly, Shizune and Anko became very serious.
"Now, since we are letting you go on this trip to Grandma Tsunade's house, we just want you girls to be very careful." Shizune says, while placing an arm around Hinata's shoulders.
"Also, make sure to bring all of your gear. We don't want you taking any chances." added Anko while giving off a smirk.
"Right. We'll be very careful. Thank you." Temari said, walking up to her mom, aunt, and little sister for a hug. The other girls soon followed Temari's example and the whole group was caught in a giant group hug.
… Gangnam Style …
The week went by pretty fast for the girls, but the week was also very pleasant. The whole entire week, the days were sunny and marvelous with no trouble at all. All the girls were mostly hanging out with their friends for the week. And when I say friends, I mean guy friends. Yes, that's right... the girls had no female friends, but only guy friends.
Sakura, for the whole week, spent her time hanging out with her two best friends, Sasuke and Lee. Sasuke was actually more like Sakura's secret crush, I suppose, while she was Lee's. The pinkette would either spend her days hanging out at Sasuke's place or she and the boys would go and walk around the village, talking about their lives and sharing funny tales. Sakura was in utter bliss that week. Matter of fact, she actually confessed to Sasuke that week as well. And guess what... he returned her feelings! As of Sunday, the two were now a happy couple, which left Lee to become distant. Of course Sakura didn't notice Lee ignoring her or distancing himself away from the new couple because she was to preoccupied with her new found relationship with her best friend. Even though she was in bliss, the person that probably cared about her the most was now a dull and boring train wreck.
As for Karin, she had hung out with her two buddies, Juugo and Suigetsu. Funny thing is, despite them being her best friends, Karin found these two to be the most obnoxious people in the entire world... but at least they were able to put up with her and her royal attitude. Karin and her two friend mostly talked about her upcoming trip through the woods to her grandmother's home. She also spoke to them about her youngest sister's dream/premonition. At the mention of the horrifying nightmare, the boys tried to warn her and make her stay,for safety and all, but she declined. She told them that she already went through this crap with her aunt and mother, but now it's official that they're going. Another thing that the trio conversed about was Karin's crush, Sasuke Uchiha, who, as of Sunday, is now in a relationship with her annoying sister. Funny thing is, just a couple of hours after Sakura confessed to Sasuke, so did she. His reply was, "We'll see what happens when you get back." and he winked. Now Karin just couldn't wait to get back home.
Temari spent most of her time with her two best friends, Gaara and Kankuro. Either that, or she would go to the village park and train there for the upcoming trip. When she did hang out with her two male companions, they would either go to a rock concert, rock shop, or hang out at the book store. Temari would often read about the history of fans or a book about adventure or danger. Gaara would often read a book about emotions, gore, and criminals. Kankuro, on the other hand, did not have that type of mind where he would want to read about weapons or gore, but instead he read about porn. Every time they went to the book store, he either read about porn or about violence... but it was mostly porn. That's the reason why he gets abused and beat up by his female friend because he was such a pervert. And because he gets abused by Temari, he doesn't flirt with her like he normally would do when he is around cute women. Gaara would just often wonder why he befriended such morons.
Tenten, during the week, hung out with her boyfriend Neji. Sometimes, the two would even ask Hinata to come along and hang out with them too. You see, since they've gotten older, and Tenten started to date Neji, the girls have come to realize that Neji and Hinata are actually related. Neji told the girls the story of how she was disowned for being to nice and didn't like violence, so instead of doing terrible things to her, they put her in a adoption center. Hinata obviously cried at the news, but Neji and Tenten made her feel all better by saying that she was lucky not to have been in that house because it would have made her a terrible person and also because she would have never met her sisters. So basically, every time Tenten is around Neji, the first thing he would ask her is "How is Hinata doing?" and then they get back on with their date.
Ino spent most of her time during the week at the mall. She would mostly do some shopping or flirting with cute guys. Yes, Ino was one of those girls that loved shopping and guys. But one guy that Ino would love to flirt with the most is one of the cutest guys in the village, Sai. Ever since she found out that her other two sisters, Karin and Sakura, have had a crush on her first crush Sasuke, she moved on to someone who looked almost exactly like him, but was better than him in a way. So Ino would mostly flirt with Sai and he would sometimes flirt back. Despite the constant flirting though, the two never once asked each other out on a date. It was most likely because they were afraid of rejection. That's why it was mostly shopping and boys and sometimes Sai the whole week for Ino.
Hinata spent some of her week with her over protective yet fun ad weird friends, Kiba and Shino. These three would often go to the park and play around with each other. Kiba would let his dog, Akamaru, run around and fetch things that Hinata threw. Shino would just sit on a swing and watch his two energetic friends play with the humongous pooch, whilst looking at insects that passed him by. Once they were done at the park, they would go and stop for ice-cream or other delicious delicacies like dangos or cinnamon buns. After that, they would have a sleepover at either Kiba's house or Shino's home. Hinata honestly loved her friends to death. They were the older brothers that she never had. Little did she know, however, he best friend Kiba has a crush on her that only Shino knows about. So whenever she did something like kiss their cheeks good bye or hug him or even did little things like laugh at his ridiculous jokes, Kiba would get all tingly inside and just want to hold her, kiss her, and just be with her, but not as friends but something more. It was sad, but Kiba knew that if he told her how he felt, that small confession might ruin their friendship and he would rather die than let that happen.
Meanwhile, while the girls had their fun during the week, Anko and Shizune spent their week grocery shopping and cooking for their pain in the ass mother. Those two kept complaining about how they would kill their mother later for this aggravating labor that she was putting them through.
"I want to see the girls my ass! I told you mom was a God damn mooch!" Anko yelled while carrying a bunch of bags with food and other items in them inside of her sisters house.
"Oh shut up Anko and get to work!" Shizune yelled back as she slammed her front door shut with her foot.
"Tch. Idiot." Anko mumbled as she placed the bags on the table and started to take the contents out, one by one.
"I heard that! Now hurry up! I have to do some cooking!" Shizune yelled from the kitchen.
"Alright! I'm trying here! Damn!" Anko yelled back, irritation lacing her tone. "I swear I'm going to kill mom for this..." she mumbled once more.
"Anko!" her sister screeched again.
Anko turned to face the kitchen with her hands in the air and a vein visibly throbbing in her head. "Shut the hell up Shizune!"
And with that said, the two could not stop bickering the entire time they got the stuff ready for the girls.
… Gangnam Style …
The week is now over and it was the day where the girls had to leave their home village and travel through the forest to their grandmother's home. All six sisters were up in their room getting dressed in their traveling attire. Shizune and her sister Anko were in the middle of filling the color coded baskets with the items that their mother had told them to bring. After around ten minutes, the girls finally came downstairs looking quite beautiful in their lovely travel dresses.
Sakura was wearing a pink sleeveless v-neck thigh length dress with white frills and red ribbons embroidered down the sides and under the skirt of the dress. She had a red bow on the top of her head that had pink and white sparkles on it. Her shoes wear red knee high heeled boots with pink bows on the tip of them. Her makeup consisted of ruby red lipstick and hot pink eyeshadow. She had pink Sakura flower earrings and two Sakura bracelets.
Karin was wearing a long sleeved black skin tight knee length dress with an orange belt draped around her waist. She wore simple orange heels and an orange headband with a black circle on it. She wore black earrings, black and orange wrist bands on both her wrist, and an orange oval necklace. Her makeup consisted of black and orange eyeshadow and clear lip gloss with a hint of blush.
Temari was wearing a beige v-neck long sleeved dress that reached down to her ankles. She had three thin yellow belts draped around her waist and three yellow arm bracelets on her biceps. Strapped onto one of her belts were two white fans with three purple circles on them. Her shoes were simple yellow flip flops with tiny fans on them. She also wore a yellow studded choker necklace. Her makeup consisted of yellow eyeshadow and skin color lipstick.
Tenten was wearing a sleeveless green and white stripped dress that went just passed her knees. Underneath her dress she wore lime green tights. Her shoes were white flats that had green stitching. She also had fingerless gloves that were green with white stitching. Tenten had white brocades covering her twin buns with green ribbons tied around them. She wore silver studs for earrings and a silver chain for a necklace. Her makeup was light only pink lip gloss.
Ino was wearing a blue turtleneck belly shirt that was sleeveless. There was a triangle shaped hole with purple frills embroidered on it in the middle of the shirt to show off a bit of cleavage. At the bottom of the shirt was around eight thin purple straps that attached the shirt to a short blue frilly skirt. She wore a blue and purple flower clip in her hair along with a blue flower hair tie. Her shoes were purple heals with blue flowers on then. Her makeup was simply light blue eyeshadow with pale pink lip gloss and her jewelry was simple purple hoop earrings.
Hinata was wearing a puffy long sleeved turtleneck dress that reached just above her knees. The dress was a lilac color with indigo colored ruffles lining the bottom of her dress and the end of her sleeves as well and also along her waistline. The dress had eight to nine lines of indigo ruffles going up the skirt of the dress until it touched the ruffles at the waist. On the chest area of dress was indigo ruffles in the shape of a heart. Hinata had a pair of white tights that went under her dress and she had a pair of lavender flats. She had a white choker with indigo ruffles for a necklace over her turtleneck and had bracelets that were similar to the choker.
All six girls stood in a line at the bottom of the stairs, watching as the two older women prepared their baskets. Suddenly, there was a knock at the front door. Sakura was the first to move to answer the person at the door. When she opened the door, she literally jumped for joy and then onto the person that was knocking on the door. Everyone then made a move to see who was at the door and who was the cause of their sibling screaming.
At the door stood none other than Sakura's new boyfriend, Sasuke Uchiha, hold Sakura in his arms. Karin groaned at the sight and then walked over to her mother and aunt, asking if they needed any assistance. Temari, Ino, and Tenten did the same as Karin and they were now helping out by putting the different items in their respected basket. Hinata, on the other hand, unconsciously stayed where she stood looking rather distraught.
Sakura turned around, holding Sasuke's hand, when she she saw the saddening look gracing her youngest sisters face.
"Hinata, what's the matter? Did you have another bad dream or something?" the pinkette asked, letting go of Sasuke's and caressing Hinata's reddened cheek.
Sasuke rolled his eyes at the gesture his current girlfriend was giving her sister.
'Why is she treating Hinata as if she is a mere child? Hinata is only one year younger than she is.' he thought as he raised a brow at the babying Sakura was giving the teen girl.
Hinata only shook her head after blinking a few times, seeming to have finally come out of her dazed state that she was in. She then smiled sweetly at her sister and the young male that was next to her. Sakura only looked slightly more worried by her sister's actions.
"Hinata... are you sure you're alright? You seemed awfully sad just a moment ago." she asked again, this time putting her hands on Hinata's shoulders.
Sasuke followed Sakura's lead and placed his hand atop Hinata's head, ruffling her hair slightly. Hinata looked up at the taller male and saw the sincere smile on his face.
"Cheer up Hinata. I'm sure whatever is troubling you, your sisters will be able to help you out." he said while looking at Sakura. Sakura in turn smiled at the raven haired man as they shared a small and quick kiss right in front of the smaller girl. This only seemed to make Hinata go back into her dismayed state.
Ino and Shizune then walked into the room and saw the three. Ino saw the look on her younger sister's face and ran over to her and hugged her tightly.
"Hinata! What is wrong Hinata?! What did these canoodling idiots do to you?!" she exclaimed, glaring at the now hugging couple.
"Hey!" the two yelled back at the blonde from the insult they received.
"We did nothing to her at all! In fact, I was trying to figure out what was wrong myself!" Sakura yelled at her sister. Ino only glared more. Shizune then walked over to the group of arguing teens.
"Girls. The baskets are set. We can now head to the village gates." she said, making the teens calm down and Hinata not look so sad. That was when Anko and the other three sisters walked into the room as well with six multicolored baskets in hand.
"I'm pretty sure that all of your friends shall be at the front gate waiting for you so that they may say their farewells." Anko says while walking over to Sakura, Hinata, and Ino and handing them a colored basket.
Sakura received a red basket with a big bright pink bow on the front of it. Its contents were an abundance of bandages, ointment, medical herbs, and other medical items. Ino received a baby blue basket with a lilacs attached to either side of the handles. The contents of the basket were a variety of different articles of beautiful and expensive looking clothing. Hinata received a lavender basket with indigo and lilies going around the rim of the basket. Its contents were cinnamon buns, cakes, and other types of pastries.
Sakura looked at each basket that her and her sisters held and the items that were inside of each. She looked at her mother worriedly shortly after.
"How much did all of this cost? They all look rather expensive mother." she asked with an arched brow.
Shizune scratched her hand while looking away from her daughter. "It was a lot, but not to worry. We still have plenty of money left over." she replied with a small smile.
"And even if there wasn't enough money," Anko added. "Your mother and I could always get it back from working. So don't get your panties in a bunch."
"Plus," Temari started, walking over to her pink haired sister. "We'll be at Grandma Tsunade's for a bit too, right mom?" she asked looking over to her mother.
"Right. You will be there for at least three to four days and then you must travel back home." the black haired woman replied to her eldest daughter.
Meanwhile, Ino was looking at the items in Temari's, Tenten's, and Karin's baskets. "What do you guys have in your baskets? All I have is clothes." she questioned, holding out her blue basket for the girls to see.
Temari in turn, held out her yellow basket that had black and brown ribbons wrapped around the handle. "I just have some books that Grandma Tsunade may be interested in reading. For example," she started digging through the basket and pulled out a couple of books before putting them back in the basket. "There are medical journals, crime novels, and other things like that."
Tenten held out her green basket with small kunai tied around the rim of it next. "Me, I have a bunch of different kinds of weapons that she requested. I'm just taking a wild guess here, but I think that these are for protection reasons."
"Yea. She wouldn't be like you and keep weapons hanging over her bed as decorations, Tenten." Ino joked while giggling.
"Oh shut up Ino. At least I'm able to grab something quick to defend myself if someone infiltrates our home." Tenten spat back, making Ino stop laughing.
"Well... just shut up!" Ino retorted while crossing her arms in defeat, making everyone else in the room go into a fit of laughter. Karin held out her basket next.
Karin's basket was a mixture of orange and black that made a checkered pattern. "I have some dumb scrolls and some old crap that looks like it belongs in some type of museum or something. Just a bunch of junk." she said with a snarl.
Tenten then patted her sister on the back. "Oh lighten up Karin. At least its not your stuff."
Karin rolled her eyes but then smiled. "He-he, I guess your right." she then looked at Sasuke with a small wink. She then looked quickly to her family. "So are we ready to head out now? I just want to get this over with."
"Me too." Sakura agreed. "I mean, it will take us about three days to get to Grandma Tsunade's house and plus you said we will be staying there for about three to four days. And then it will take us about three more days to come back home. So that's about nine to ten days total that we will be gone."
"Well in that case, we should head to the gate now." Anko says while grinning greatly. "Let's get going, shall we!"
"Yea!" the girls yelled while pumping their hands in the air.
"Girls! Make sure you don't forget to grab your cloaks on her way out the door. I don't want to carry them all the way to the gate." Shizune said, pointing to the coat rack near the doorway.
"Oh right! Thanks mom!" Tenten said and all the girls ran over to the coat rack to grab their cloaks.
Each girl quickly draped their cloaks over them and tied the string around their necks.
Sakura wore a bright red cloak with a white circle on the back of it that had a small cherry blossom printed in the center of it.
Karin wore an orange cloak that had small black serpent baring its fangs on the back of the cloak.
Temari wore a sunshine yellow cloak what hand a beige gourd on the back of it.
Tenten wore a lime green cloak that had a variety of different kinds of weapons that looked as if they were coming right at you printed on the back of it.
Ino wore a baby blue cloak that a picture of ninja wolfsbane on the back of it.
Hinata wore a lilac colored cloak that had a picture of the bright sun on it that had small sunflowers underneath it printed on the back of the cloak.
"Alright. We're ready." Temari stated as all girls stood by the door waiting for their mother's signal to leave.
"Okay then. Let us get going." Shizune then walked out the door with Anko trailing behind her.
"Yea. Don't want to keep everyone waiting now do we? Ha-ha." Anko inquired while waving her hand for the girls to follow.
Behind Anko trailed Sakura and her boyfriend, who walked out the door hand in hand with her basket in the hand that wasn't being held. After Sakura came Karin who was crossing her arms with a bitter look gracing her features and was holding her basket as if it were a purse. After Karin came Temari with her basket in hand as she smiled at the scene before her. After Temari came Tenten who was busy looking through the contents in her basket. After Tenten cam Ino and Hinata who were walking hand in hand as well, smiling giggling as they held their baskets in the hands that weren't being held. Hinata quickly turned and shut and locked the front door to her humble home.
… Gangnam Style …
The group walked through the streets of the village in the order that they left the house and also in the same manner. Shizune and Anko were in the front chatting and laughing away, Sakura and Sasuke were acting all lovey dovey, Karin was glaring at the couple, obviously envious, Temari was still grinning at the sight set before her, Tenten was still rummaging through her basket, and Ino and Hinata were still hand in hand smiling and giggling in the most happy state ever.
It has been twenty four minutes since they left their home until they finally reached the front gate. At the front gate stood all of the girls friends. They were all standing in a circle formation with a small gap for the girls to walk through so that they were now in the center of the circle. When the girls were in the circle, Shizune, Anko, and Sasuke filled up the tiny gap. Everyone was quiet until Shizune spoke.
"I want you girls to be very careful on your journey. Don't let anyone hurt you or try and take anything away from you."
"If anyone tries anything funny, kick their ass! Got it?!" Anko exclaimed while smashing her fist into her open palm.
"Got it!" the girls responded, equally excited now.
"Now," Shizune started. "Go say a quick farewell to your friends. Then I want you to go."
"The quicker you leave, the quicker you can come back." Anko added.
And with that, the girls went to say their good-byes to each person there. They each stood in a line in the order of Sakura, then Karin, then Temari, then Tenten, then Ino, and then Hinata. Each girl will get the chance to say good-bye to each guy this way. The first person they went up to was Kankuro. Since Sakura was first in the line, she got to say good-bye first.
Sakura gave a hand shake to Kankuro and said good bye, seeing as those two weren't close friends. She then moved onto Gaara. She did the same maneuver with Gaara and then moved onto Sai. Sakura gave Sai a hug and said farewell. Next was Suigetsu. She shook his hand and said bye and then she was onto Juugo to whom she did the same as Suigetsu. Next was Lee. She went to give Lee a hug, but he pushed her away. Sakura looked confused but then hurt. Lee just told her good luck and then made her move onto her mother. "What was all that about?" she asked. "I don't know, but I will see you soon mother." and with that they hugged and she was onto her aunt to whom she hugged as well. She then moved onto Sasuke to which they shared a passionate kiss with one another. She then moved onto Kiba. She gave Kiba a hug and then she went onto Shino. She gave Shino a hug as well and then she moved onto the final person, Neji. She gave Neji a handshake, seeing as that was the only thing he would allow her to do. Sakura then went to stand back in front of the gate and wait for her sisters to be done with their farewells.
Karin mostly did the same as Sakura did when it came to Kankuro and Gaara. She gave Sai a handshake and then she moved onto Suigetsu. She gave Suigetsu a hug and she did the same with Juugo. When she went to Lee, she gave him a hug and whispered to him, "She fall for you, trust me on that." and then she went onto her mother. She gave Shizune a hug and she did the same for her aunt. She then went onto Sasuke who smirked at her. She gave him a small kiss on the cheek and then winked at him and then she moved on. When she came to Kiba, she gave him a handshake and she did the same with Shino. When she came to Neji, she smiled and joked, "What do you see in bun head anyway? I guess you just like those tough girls, huh?" to which he replied with a smirk, "I guess so.". The two then laughed and shared a handshake and then Karin went to stand next to her sister.
Temari gave Kankuro a hug and whispered into his ear, "You do any lecherous things while I'm gone, I will kill you." and then she went onto Gaara to whom she gave a hug to. She then went onto Suigetsu and Juugo to whom she just shook hands with. Next was Sai and she did the same as Suigetsu and Juugo. Next was Lee. She gave him a hug and a sad smile, knowing how he was feeling. She then moved onto her mom and aunt to whom she gave a kiss on the cheek and a hug. Next was Sasuke. She gave the boy a hug and then moved on to Kiba and Shino. She gave both a hug and a pat on the back with a wink. Next was Neji to whom she gave a hug and said, "We'll be back and then you can have all the fun you want with Tenten." and she winked suggestively, making the stoic man blush. Temari then went to stand next to Karin.
Tenten was next in line to say her good-byes. She gave Kankuro a hug, but then smacked him on the back of the head saying, "I'll make it hurt even more if your going to be perverted while we're gone you lecher!" and then she moved on to Gaara. She gave Gaara a hug and whispered to him, "Keep an eye on him for Temari and me, okay?" and Gaara simply nodded with a smirk. She then went on to Suigetsu, Juugo, and Sai. She gave all three boys a handshake and a farewell. She then moved to Lee. She gave the boy a hug and a pat on the back saying, "Cheer up Lee. She doesn't know what she's missing out on." and then walked onto her mother and her aunt. She did the same thing as Temari and then went on to Sasuke. She gave Sasuke a hug and and then did the same for Kiba and Shino. Now was her boyfriend. The two embraced each other and then shared a quick kiss and some smiles. "Your sisters are weirder than usual, Tenten." he said to which she replied, "He-he, I know. But I love them anyway, and I love you too.". "Dido." he said and the two kissed again and then Tenten moved next to Temari who smiled.
Ino walked up to Kankuro who smirked at her. She hugged him cautiously and backed away quickly. She knew he was a pervert so she didn't want to be next to him for to long. She made her way to Gaara next to whom she gave a hug to. She then went over to Suigetsu and Juugo. She gave the two a hug and a shake of the head and then made her way over to Sai. Her and Sai stared at each other before they hugged each other tightly. Sai even gave her a kiss on the forehead before she moved onto her mother and aunt. She embraced both women tightly and smiled. She then went on to Sasuke. She hugged the boy and shook her head at him and then moved onto Kiba and Shino. She hugged both boys and giggled as she went onto Neji. She gave Neji a hug. When she gave Neji a hug, however, she gave his butt a tiny light pinch, causing Neji to jerk forward and playfully glare at the blonde. This made Ino, Tenten, Temari, and Hinata laugh. Ino just loved to tease Neji. He was just too easy. She then went to stand next to Tenten, blowing a playful kiss in Neji's direction, causing Tenten and Hinata to giggle once more as Neji looked away from Ino with his arms crossed.
Finally, it was Hinata's turn to make her rounds. She went up to Kankuro and embraced the boy in a friendly hug. She then placed a kiss upon his cheek. She then went to Gaara and did the same, only this time, Gaara couldn't help but blush from the kiss he received from the girl. She then maneuvered over to Suigetsu and Juugo. She hugged both boys and graced them with a kiss on the cheek. She then moved on to Sai. She hugged the boy tightly and kissed his cheek as well, only she said, "Just a-ask her already. She will sa-say yes." and then moved onto Lee. She looked up at Lee and smiled shyly before hugging him. She placed a kiss upon his cheek after saying, "Please cheer up Lee-kun. I can't stand seeing y-you sad.". Next she went her mother and aunt. She rushed up to both women and embraced them in a huge hug. She smiled up at both women and placed a kiss on their cheek before uttering a thank you. She then moved on Sasuke. She hugged the taller boy and then stood on her toes to kiss his cheek. She then ran over to Kiba and Shino. She jumped on Kiba who caught her nicely. She kissed his cheek and then did the same with Shino. Once she got off of Shino, she hugged both boys at the same time and whispered "I'll miss you guys.". After a moment, the three broke out of the hug and she went on to Neji. She stood in front of Neji with a blush on her cheeks. She didn't know whether or not Neji was her to hug him seeing as he was still upset over the pinch on the butt her received from Ino. Noticing that she wasn't going to make a move, Neji grabbed Hinata's arm and pulled her into a gentle hug. He then kissed her on her forehead as she kissed him on his cheek. "Be careful." he said and Hinata only nodded. She then moved next to her sister Ino and the two joined hands once more.
Everyone stood in their spots silently until Temari spoke.
"Well I guess we should be going now. We will see you all in about a ten days. Come on girls, let's get moving."
"Right." all five girls said as all six sisters turned their backs to their friends and family.
"We'll see you guys later!" Ino shouted out to the crowd.
As the girls were walking past the village gates and into the depths of the forest, all that could be heard were shouts coming from everyone. They were either shouting, "Farewell!" or "Be safe!" or "Kick some ass ladies!" or "Love you guys!" etc. Everything that was shouted were along the lines of that.
It was awhile before the girls were no longer visible and were shrouded by the vast trees of the forest. Everyone then went their separate ways. Now the fun is really about to begin...
… Gangnam Style …
In the tallest building of the village, in a large room with a long wooden table that had a vast number of chairs, sat around twenty to thirty people with high rankings in the village. Some were council members and others were from wealthy and powerful clans that lie throughout the village. At the very end of the table sat the man with the highest hierarchy level in the entire village. The village elder or as many villagers call him, the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Everyone in the room remained silent for what seemed to be hours. They all seemed to be waiting for something or someone.
Finally, the doors to the room opened and in the doorway stood two women with serious faces. Hiruzen looked up slowly at the two women.
"Finally... you have come." he said, his voice cracking and sounding very elderly.
"Sorry we are late, my lord. It seems that their parting has taken longer than expected." said one of the women apologetically as she bowed her head in respect. The other woman mimicked the other woman's actions.
"Yes. Please forgive us." the Hokage looked at both women before smiling. He held out his left hand, palm up, and started to move his hand up and down while his right hand remained flat on the table.
"There is no need for the apology, Anko, Shizune. Please, take a seat."
"Thank you, lord Hokage." the two then stood up straight and made their way to two empty seats near the Hokage.
The room fell silent once more, before Hiruzen spoke once more.
"So tell me. Have your children left the village yet, Shizune?" he asked, placing his hand underneath his bearded chin.
Shizune nodded politely. "Yes. They are on their way to their grandmother's house as we speak." she replied sternly.
"Excellent. Are they armed?" he asked. Anko answered.
"They should be well equipped with weapons and other necessities that are essential for their protection."
"Do they know how to use any of the equipment that you have provided for their use?" asked a council member.
"They have been on various missions or trips that have required them to battle crooks and other villains. So yes, they do know how to use the weapons given to them." Shizune responded, folding her hands on the table.
"It's still far to dangerous for them to be out in the woods by themselves. They might just get killed." stated another council member with two scars on his face while rubbing his short black beard.
Anko slammed her hands on the table while standing up abruptly, causing the silent room to echo the noise. "Are you insinuating that my nieces cannot handle any obstacles that they may face?!" she shouted.
The council member looked up at the loud woman, opening his eyes to stare at her blankly. He then sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm not trying to implying anything Anko. I'm just saying that I'm worried about their safety is all."
"I have to agree with Shikaku on this Anko. I'm a tad bit worried my self." another member of the council inquired. This council member had a long scar going across his nose.
Anko looked at the agreeing scarred man. "Really Iruka?" she yelled. "How could you?"
"Anko please calm down and take your seat." Hiruzen's old and cracked voice sounded, causing Anko to hesitantly sit down while staring at the old man. Shizune placed a hand on Anko's shoulder reassuringly.
"I have to agree with both Shikaku and Iruka." Anko nearly flew out her seat once more after hearing this come from the Hokage himself, but Shizune kept her sister in check.
"Wha-what!" the purple haired woman gasped while her fists balled up.
"I'm sure that you have heard about the demon coming back from its seven month vacation." Anko nodded. "Well, let's say that the girls ran into the demon, wouldn't you be worried too?" he asked.
"We were at first, lord Hokage," Shizune responded. "but then we had a change of heart because the girls were so desperate to go."
Anko looked down at the table, her eyes shadowed by her bangs. "They said that this could have been their big chance to prove themselves as strong and to test their strength."
"They also tried to reassure us saying that there was a chance that they might not even run into the demon anyway." Shizune said looking at the Hokage.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was silent for a moment, his hand placed under his chin as if he were in thought. Suddenly, he places his hands down on the table and looks to Shikaku.
"What do you propose we do then Shikaku? The girls have already left and are most likely far from the village by now." Shizune and Anko looked to Shikaku as well as did every other member in the meeting room.
Shikaku laid back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest and he thought. After a few minutes, he finally looked at the Hokage. "I propose we send some ANBU forces to watch over the girls in case they do happen to run into the demon."
"How many do we send?" asked a female council member who had striking red eyes.
"Six." Shikaku answered.
"Now the question that remains is who do we send." stated another council member. This question seemed to cause an up roar throughout the entire room. Everyone was suggesting who should be sent to secretly watch over the girls, until after a few minutes, Shikaku spoke and everyone quieted down.
"I will leave that decision up to the chief of the ANBU task force himself. Kakashi," everyone looked to the silver haired man in the room who sat there looking blankly at the group of people. "Who did you decide?"
Kakashi sat there for a moment more, leaving everyone wondering. Finally, his voice sounded from underneath the navy mask on his nose and mouth.
"I have decided to send..."
… Gangnam Style …
Well that's it! Yes I left a cliffhanger, I'm so sorry for that... or am I? .. Anyway, I am sorry if this chapter came out kind of boring and all, but I just really got bored when writing this and I was also having a bit of writers block as well at the moment. I'm also sorry if the thing with the ages is confusing and all, but that's just how the story goes. =3 Next chapter will be featured in the woods with the girls. And it seems like you can't figure out who the demon is huh? Well you shall be getting more hints as the story goes on. Also, I have a new guessing game for you! Can you figure out why I'm always putting the girls in the order of Sakura, Karin, Temari, Tenten, Ino, and then Hinata? Who ever guesses correctly gets to tell me how they want chapter six to go! XD
Anyhow, I'm rambling way to much, so talk with you next time and please review, favor, or follow. It makes me really happy and it ends up being the high light of my day. So bye-bye and have a good day or good night!
