Ok, I know you're all probably thinking about burning me at the steak here, but you have to understand that: I'm TO YOUNG TO DIE!! (LOL) anyway without further a due… Ch. 4
As Kimara walked down the darkened path, she felt her skin rise with goose bumps. "This is it. Finally after all my searching, it all comes down to this… Who cares about my other mission, the group can make it without me for one little assignment." As she continued to walk down the corridor, she found it was growing darker and darker, Kimara didn't mind, though, She liked the dark it was like her sanctuary. But still after a few more minutes of walking in pitch black, she reached into her back pouch and pulled out a light torch. After all she wanted to draw as much attention to her self as possible, anything to get him to notice.
Kimara was actually finding this harder then it looked, considering that she was trained to be silent and leave no trail. "God, how can people do this." she though holding the torch in her left hand, the right hand on the side of the wall memorizing the turns and dead ends she met, just in case she needed to get out fast.
It was amazing how her mind worked. She could feel, smell, or touch something just once and be able to remember it for ever. That was just one of the main reasons why the ANBU had accepted her to graduate so young. But it wasn't the first time someone from her home town had…
XOXOXOFLASHBACKXOXOXO
Every one gathered around the young girl, shaking her hand, giving her hugs, saying words of thanks. Some people went even as far as kissing her on the cheek, much to Kimara's dislike. She had just entered the ninja academy, at the age of 6.
Franticly she snuck away as her mother and father were saying a few word of thanks to the crowd. She snuck in and out of the tables trying to go un-noticed, poking her head up and down, as if trying to find someone.
"And what are you doing…" A cool male voice said from behind.
The jig was up, and she bowed her head knowing she had been caught…
Kimara felt the breath of her baby-sitter on the back of her neck.
"He's over by the punch bowl." Her whispered in her ear "Oh, and congrats…" He said before walking away.
Kimara turned and looked in the direction her baby-sitter had just left in, then quickly turned and headed for the punch, not thirsty for a drink…
… Kimara quickly came back to her surroundings in the corridor. She had to admit, she was a little disappointed. "How long does it take to get noticed around here." she though, growing impatient.
Just then she felt eyes on the back of her neck. "YES!" she was in business. Although they weren't the eyes that she had felt years before, they were at least eyes, and that meant she had been noticed. She noticed that her torch was burning low, so she stuck up another, making sure that those eyes would not leave her…
… MEANWHILE in another room not far from were Kimara was walking, Kabuto was watching her walk, and walk, and still walk. She had been waking for over 20 minutes, and although walking, to some people, was very interesting, it wasn't for him. "Come on do something, anything. Some sort of movement that looks like a threat." He thought, but of course the young girl didn't, but still just kept on walking.
This was one of the things Kabuto hated about working for Orochimaru, He always ended up watching for intruders, and possible spies. It was the most boring job ever… Sure he learned great techniques from Orochimaru-samma, but this job SUCKED!
He lazily drummed his fingers lazily on the desk which held all the security cameras located throughout the hide-out, watching the girl walk off of a camera and on to another screen. The whole thing was starting to make himself grow sleepy, and without knowing it, Kabuto slowly drifted off to sleep.
"KABUTO, are you there!" Came a voice blasting through a radio. Kabuto nearly fell out of his chair, so startled that he had forgotten where he was.
"Yes, Orochimaru-samma, I'm here." He said in a sleepy tone answering into the radio
"What corridor is our 'guest' presently located?" Orochimaru asked in a sooth tone, which always made Kabuto think of a snake.
"She is In the Eastern corridor, number 8." He replied, after looking onto the dozens of screens.
"Good." and with that the radio clicked to show that it was off.
Kabuto tried to go back to sleep, but found he couldn't. Something about his tone, haunted through Kabuto's head. He all of a sudden felt very aware of how scary and frightening Orochimaru could appear to be. He also realized just how much power Orochimaru had, and how much damage he had done to so many lives. For a moment, and only a moment he felt a tinge of sorrow, for this Kimara child. But then resumed a small smirk on his face… After all they were always looking for new test subjects. "I hope you're as good as you think you are, because this is going to be a matter of life or death."…
MEANWHILE, the radio clicked of and Orochimaru and Sasuke moved from the radio towards a series of numbers and dials. The 2 of them where in, what appeared to be, a large circular room, light up by torches surrounding the chamber. Aside from chains on the walls, the room was completely empty.
"Now remember what I taught you, kill at any cost." Orochimaru said looking down at his pupil.
Sasuke just gave a nod of his head to show that he was ready and moved across the room to hide in one of the shadows, which were cast by the torches flame.
Orochimaru pressed a few buttons, then he to went to hide among the shadows…
MEANWHILE… Kimara was getting rather anxious. How long did it take to get captured! She had at least been walking for 20-30 minutes and was growing sick and tired of it.
She was just about to stop when she heard a noise. A creaking noise. Where was it coming from… The left… The right… Above… Behind… "No.." she thought "Below!" And with another creak the floor gave out from beneath her and she began to fall.
"Finally!" was all she thought as she fell. Then just seconds after she had dropped, landed gracefully on the floor. Not flat on her face, but gently in a knight position, kneeling, ready to attack.
For a few moments she stayed still, just in case she had landed on a trap, but then got up slowly. She slowly took in her surroundings, mainly because her eyes weren't adjusted to the light in this room. She lifted a hand to shade her eyes, and but the other hand into her pouch feeling the contents to make sure she hadn't dropped anything on the way down. Nope she hadn't lost anything.
She heard a noise. Kimara grabbed a kunai, and brung it out in front of her ready to attack. "What was that noise? It sounded like…laughter?"
She heard it again, this time louder. Yes, it was definitely laughter. Kimara tried to locate the noise but couldn't. It seemed to be coming from everywhere. "There mocking me." She thought, and let out a small smirk. "Their trying to make me lose my cool, so that I'll spend all my time focusing on the laughter, so they can attack as a surprise.." She heard a movement of shuffling among the shadows… "Like… NOW!"
Kimara turned around and through the kunai at the attack of her opponent, who blocked it, and came forwards at a speed so fast, Kimara hardly knew what was going on. She dodged a punch to the face, and grabbed a right leg turning kick, aiming for her head. She briefly caught a glimpse of her attacker, no doubt it was Sasuke Uchiha. She twisted her arm, causing the foot and leg to twist, placed her free arm on the knee cap, pushed, and then let go throwing her opponent in the opposite direction…
…To say that Sasuke wasn't surprised at the girls reflexes would be a lie, never had he seen such quickness. She was faster then Orochimaru-samma and Kabuto put together. But when the 2 gazed at each other for that split second, Sasuke got his first real look at this 'Kimara' girl, yet couldn't help the feeling that he knew her. He quickly pushed the thought out of his head and got his head back in the game.
He grabbed a kunai and ran towards kimara again from behind, Kimara turned around just a little to slow, and the blade made contact with the flesh of her cheek, leaving a crimson dark gash. But that didn't slow her down. Kimara grabbed Sasuke's wrist holding the kunai, turned around pulling his arm so that her back was up against his chest. For a moment Sasuke had no idea what she was doing, but then felt the girl pull all her weight forward, therefore pulling himself along well, making him do a flip on to the ground.
Kimara let go and started making hand symbols.
Orochimaru, who was watching from the side in complete shadow, recognized the technique immediately. "No way! It can't be…"
Sasuke also recognized the hand symbols immediately: Katon Goukakyuuno no jutsu Fire Element, Blazing Fireball.
Kimara let out a great roar and flames of fire came roaring out. Right towards Sasuke. "This is amazing no- ones been able to do this technique so well since brother or me."
Sasuke wasn't the only one who was impressed. Orochimaru stepped out of the shadows to make sure he was seeing thing correctly. "I haven't seen that technique so perfect, and strong, since Itachi…"
Kimara finished her technique, and looked around half expecting to see, a burnt to the crisp Sasuke, but to her surprise saw only a burnt shirt in his place. "What, the…"
But before she had time to think a hand grabbed her ankle from the ground, and from the ground burst Sasuke. He grabbed her left wrist in mid air, and Kimara grabbed his left wrist.
The 2 of them landed on the ground tossing, and turning all over one another, each trying to pin the other one to the ground. If were to have just walked in you would have thought something else was happening…
Sasuke pinned the girl to the ground, looked right into her eyes and gasped…
XOXOFLASHBACKXOXOXO
Sasuke stood over by the punch moping. He knew he should go over and congratulate her. But the fact that he wasn't with her made him so jealous, he could scream in anger. She had started school at the age of 6, the Hokage himself said that she could be enrolled, meanwhile he himself would have to wait another year.
He didn't even know why he was caring so much, she wasn't even part of his family's clan, her family just lived with them, although she did have similar traits like the Uchiha's, but who cares…Sasuke sipped from his glass, unaware of the person behind him.
"Sasuke?" He turned around to face a 6 year old girl, whose hair was blonde with 2 black streaks, and the bluest eyes ever. It was his best friend: Nearo, Kimara…
… "Kimara." was all Sasuke could whisper. How could he had not seen it before… the technique…the hair…the eyes. What was he thinking not to have seen it before… Kimara who had been struggling in his grasp, stopped looked him in the eye and said:
"So you finally remember…" Before magically reversing the grip he had her in so, she was on top. She smiled "It's about time." she said before she released her grip and got off of him.
The 2 teens got up and looked each other in the eye, as if remembering all the child hood memories they had shared, then the 2 of them did something you would never had thought possible they hugged…
It is 11:00 at night, I have been going to summer school all week (Not because I failed) but because I'm taking gr.10 science so that I can take another extra course in gr.10, and I am tired! Good Night every-one!! X)
