Chapter 3: Roadway horror…

After walking for a day…

"Could you stop?" Sakura asked as she saw Ixy pointing out flaws in Sasuke's plans.

"Only if he asks me to." Ixy stated as she looked at Sasuke. "How often do you have to deal with that?"

"How do I stop fangirls?" Sasuke asked.

"Good question, fangirls make a bad name for women anywhere." Ixy stated as Sakura huffed.

"You are just jealous that we have good looking men..." Sakura started to say when Kakashi just sighed.

"Would you two tell her to stop starting things?" Kakashi asked Subaru and Teana.

"Sasuke asked for pointers in combat. Ixy just volunteered her knowledge." Teana stated as she looked to the sky. "Makes one wonder if you are babying the boy."

"How dare you!" Kakashi stated angry.

"Then perhaps you should let it go." Haku stated as she looked at Kakashi with a sad look.

"Why did you snap the blade?" Kakashi asked as he looked at Kubikiribōchō that looked to be sheared.

"I have my reasons; Zabuza once told me if I survive him to leave a piece of Kubikiribōchō near him. The fragment was up to me." Haku stated as she pulled the sword free and held up a stubbed version of it. "Kiri keeps these swords at a high level of secrecy, do you know why?"

"I've heard that each of the seven swords have different powers, but no one has figured out that ones." Kakashi stated as Haku smiled. "You know it don't you?"

"Of course, I did travel with Zabuza. I was bound to see its power." Haku stated making Sakura huff in annoyance.

"Doesn't seem like much, without the blade how can you expect to use it." Sakura asked.

"I never said I needed the full blade to use its power did I?" Haku stated as she put it away. "In all the years it has seen; not once has the cutting edge ever got nicked."

'Does that mean that it repairs itself?' Teana thought as Subaru was walking with Naruto in the rear.

At the back of the group…

"Why does it seem that your teacher doesn't like you?" Subaru asked as she walked with the blonde.

"Not my place to say." Naruto stated as he looked down. "I just want to follow in the footsteps of my hero."

"Oh, and what's wrong with that?" Subaru asked as she looked to the sky. "My hero is someone really strong."

"Is that person dead?" Naruto asked.

"Naruto, be more polite in asking that Baka!" Sakura who heard the question went to bop him in the head but felt a firm grip on her arm.

"I'm not offended by the question. Don't put words in my mouth." Subaru stated as she looked at Sakura dead in the eyes. "I still strive to take my hero's place, as she keeps setting new plateaus to reach."

"Could you let my student go?" Kakashi asked.

"There are better ways of getting someone to understand something without resorting to violence." Subaru stated as she let the arm go. "And there are better teachers out there."

Later that day…

"So you practice a style of combat that isn't hand to hand but it can be used as such?" Sasuke asked amazed from what Ixy stated.

"Yeah, it's a sword style that makes the user one with the sword they are using." Ixy stated as she heard an anguished huff. "You're more annoying than one of her sisters." Ixy muttered as she pointed to Subaru.

"Which sister are you referring to?" Subaru asked making Kakashi raise an eyebrow. "I doubt Ginga and Cinque. That leaves a large list."

"One that works at the church." Ixy muttered.

"Oh her." Subaru nodded. "Yeah, Sein can be annoying." Subaru stated as she looked at Sakura. "Thing is she wouldn't even bother with her. I, on the other hand, would be a prime target." Subaru muttered as Sakura glanced and frowned.

"The only thing that you have that I don't is… Are you insinuating something?" Sakura asked with an eye twitch, before spinning around and glaring at Ixy. "How much more of Sasuke's time are you going to waste?"

"That's for him to decide." Ixy replied as she sighed.

"You are a slut, that's why you are hanging with Sasuke." Sakura stated not noticing that Subaru and Teana both flinched.

"You know nothing about me, Washboard." Ixy stated in a cold tone that spooked both Naruto and Sasuke. "I never tolerated being spoken down to, not even by those that are my teachers."

"So what, you probably just spread your legs…" Sakura stopped speaking when Kubikiribōchō was placed on her neck.

"I suggest you stop there. I've seen eyes like hers before." Haku stated as she pulled the broken blade back and back on her makeshift harness. 'Good didn't nick her.'

"Hn." Sakura scuffed and looked away.

"Sorry about that." Naruto stated as Sakura went to hit Naruto but stopped as she felt Subaru glare into her back.

"Just don't let it happen again." Ixy stated.

A half mile later…

"I had enough!" Sakura shouted right before she ran at Ixy with her fist pulled back and threw it. "Take…" Sakura started to say when her fist connected with a field of energy that absorbed Sakura's punch and the area around Ixy was vibrating.

"Like it?" Ixy asked as she smirked. "I can't control it, but know this; every action has an equal reaction." Ixy stated as Sakura was blown away and slammed into a tree, through it and ended up in a rock. "Fangirls. Can't live with them, can't live without them."

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked.

"Without fangirls how will guys like you find decent girlfriends?" Ixy stated as she started to laugh.

"That was uncalled for." Kakashi stated.

"I said I can't control my Kaiser Shroud. That said it reacts to any threat to my being." Ixy stated as she got her head patted by Subaru revealing that it doesn't activate for everything.

After they arrived at Konoha…

"Wow, nice place…" Subaru stated as she looked about and frowned. "Are all ninja villages like this?" Subaru asked as she looked at Kakashi.

"They are all pretty much the same." Kakashi stated as he signed for the travelers he picked up.

After arriving at the Hokage tower…

"Kakashi, where is your third student?" Sarutobi asked as he saw the group enter his office.

"At the hospital." Kakashi replied as he glanced at Ixy.

"Why?" Sarutobi asked as he looked through the reports and frowned. "Why is it your students reports differ from yours?"

"About the pinkette." Ixy stated making Sarutobi look at her. "She tried to hit me and was sent flying by my Kaiser Shroud."

"And what did you do that made her attack you?" Sarutobi asked as he looked interested.

"Talk to Sasuke about his plans and how they have so many holes in them and told him a little about how I fight." Ixy stated making Sarutobi look interested.

"May I see Kubikiribōchō, young lady?" Sarutobi asked as Haku pulled it out and Sarutobi smiled. "I see you are starting out like all the others before you."

"I know. Zabuza told me how to toughen my body for the weight of it." Haku stated as she put it back.

"Sir?" Kakashi asked as he looked at his leader.

"Kubikiribōchō, is one of the few weapons that I rather see in that state than wielded by an enemy." Sarutobi stated. "I have seen its ability and that is one blade that has no equal in it."

"What is the ability?" Kakashi asked as he saw Sarutobi laugh.

"That is up to the young lady to reveal." Sarutobi replied as he looked at the other four in the room. "Now about you four, what will you do for the time being?"

"Well as we don't know where we are." Subaru started to say, and stopped Sarutobi from speaking. "Besides currently, we would like to stay here. We can help out in many ways, but would like to see where we will be placed."

"And the youngest member in your group?" Sarutobi asked.

"She can take the pinkette's place till she gets out." Subaru stated. "Ixy is a close combat fighter, with limited long range attacks."

"And you?" Sarutobi asked

"Close combat, with some mid range skills." Subaru stated as she looked at Teana. "Teana is all long range."

"I do have some close combat skills, nowhere near the two of you." Teana muttered.

"And the one that is ignoring everything in the room?" Sarutobi asked.

"Mid range to long range support." Wirbelsturm replied. "But I rather stay with Subaru as I can boost her skills with my wind."

"An elemental?" Sarutobi stated surprised. "You are extremely blessed."

"Not really, we butt heads more often than not." Subaru stated with a smirk. "But we do get along."

"I would like to see these two events that were stated in the reports. You two can combine, and you have some sort of barrier." Sarutobi stated as he looked at the group. "For now, you are dismissed. Not you Kakashi."

A/N: Fangirlism... not the best thing... For the time being Ixy will be taking Sakura's place... Wonder what this will do to a certain snake's plan... Also revealing that the kaiser shroud is back...
