Well this is peculiar. I have to do all this annoying editing and erasing parts of my AN's and shit like that because i had submitted this fic to another fic site. (( Animespiral . com in case your wondering)) I have eight chapters up at that site plus other fics that i am writing. So in case your sick of waiting for me to update you can go to that site and read the eight chapters i have up there. Anyway thankyou to all those people ((okay so only like 3 or was it 2? ah anyway)) who left reviews. I am currently writing another fic based on a different couple in this fic so i'm sorry that i have not been updating everyday ((being that i can because i have written so many chapters already)) so i'm very sorry. I appreciate you all ((all probably only a few...i'm so pathetic --)) for reading my fic. I love to write and i enjoy getting suggestions and comments. I don't like people telling me my story sucks but as a writer/artist/musician i have to get used to it because i know people are eventually going to tell me how fucked and stupid my stuff is. Oh well i don't mind the critisicm all that much. Thanks for reading.
Now maybe i can have a donut?
((By the way...Soriko never speaks, except to Yume of course. She uses telepathy to speak to people so when she speaks it will not be in these '' but in these ' and a new paragraph will not start. Her thoughts will be randomly thrown into the paragraph. I know this is not a proper writing technique but i want to put it this way. And this is my fic so i'm allowed to do that...i think. Anyway on with the chapter))
Rose Bud Serenade
Chapter Four
Strange Places and Different Faces
Soriko swiftly moved along the ground, crawling down so low she almost looked as if she were laying on the ground face down. She followed the senses of her two students. 'Chiyo should have known better than to stay this long. She was a Jounin for pete's sake. She was just about ready to stop being my student. Mirabiki on the other hand was stubborn. She was trying to make this Sasuke boy fall in love with her. There is seriously something wrong with that girl. Oh i'm getting close.' She crept up the wall of the house her students were in and peeked into the window, which was shattered for some reason. 'Must have been Mirabiki. Stupid girl' She saw Her two students talking merrily with three young men. Well two boys and one young man. ((hehe Naruto and Sasuke can't really be considered young men)) The one man looked to be a Jounin as well. He fit the description of Kakashi, the Copy-nin. This was no surprise to her, nor was it anything special. The other two have been Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, The boys her students were after. She sighed and decided to retrieve her students. She didnt want to leave Saote and Yume alone on the outskirts of town so she'd better hurry. Soriko placed two gloved hands on the top border of the window and flipped herself into the room. The three Konoha shinobi looked towards the window, surprised that they had not sensed this person. Chiyo and Mirabiki just sighed and stood up.
''Soriko-sensei we apologise for being so hesitant in getting back to you.'' They both bowed. Soriko looked at them through the shadow of her cloak. ' You better be sorry because i had to leave the Kitsume's alone and you know how dangerous it is to leave Saote with his sister. He is such an Incestuous idiot.' They both looked at her in shock. Of course they were used to her bad-mouthing Yume's brother, and they were not shocked at the fact that no matter how angry she was she refused to speak out loud. What they were shocked at was the fact that she left Saote and Yume alone. Soriko never left Yume's side, for personal reasons. Soriko removed the hood of her cloak and shook her head to get rid of her hood hair. (( haha hood hair)) She looked at Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke then pursed her lips in annoyance. She looked at Chiyo and Mirabiki again. 'Did you get your fuckin' autographs yet? ' Both girls shook their head vigorously.' Then hurry the hell up and get them so we can leave. We dont have all night you know. It's almost morning here and your eyes will burn out of your socket if sunlight reaches them.' (( It's always Twilight in the Village Hidden Between Light and Darkness. This "eyes burning out of their sockets" tale is a story told by the elder villagers to scare the children into never leaving the village. It only scares them while their young though.))
The girls eyes widened and they both bowed again and apologised. Meanwhile Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke were a bit frightened that the woman didnt say anything yet the
girls spoke back as if she had. Chiyo and Mirabiki each pulled two pieces of paper and a pen from their kimono's. Chiyo Handed the white piece of paper she had , to Naruto and the pen. She asked him for his autograph and he blushed a little then wrote her a little note on the paper and signed it. When he handed the paper and pen back to her she slipped the small pink paper she had into his sleeve and patted his arm. Chiyo looked at the autograph, smiled, put it in her pocket carefully, and thanked him. Mirabiki handed Sasuke her piece of paper and a pen. She too asked him for an autograph and he stared blankly at her with the paper and pen in his hands. She had a pleading look on her face and he decided he might as well. He just signed his name and handed her the paper and pen back. She slipped a small light blue piece of paper into his hand and walked away with the autograph still in her hand. Chiyo and Mirabiki both walked over to their sensei and all three of them were gone in a puff of chakra smoke.
=======================================
When Naruto got home he took off his jacket, threw it on his bed and walked over to the fridge. He looked around for a carton of milk then he remembered what he did with his groceries. He remembered seeing sasuke carrying them on his way home." Damn You Sasuke!!!! You've stooped so low as to steal my food from me!!!!!!'' a bird flew from a branch on the tree outside his window. ((aww he scared the birdie)) Naruto was too tired to go after him right now so he just walked back over to his bed and fell onto it. He thought about Chiyo
and remembered her note. He looked in his sleeve where she stuffed it and found it was still there. He took it in his hands and felt his heart racing. That girl was in love with him? He felt a little wholer ((it is not a word...i know)) now, knowing that someone didnt think he was just a cage to a demon. He opened the note and smelled a hint of something sweet. She must have sprayed it with perfume. He smelled the paper. Lilac. It was very pretty. Probably the same scent she was wearing today because the scent was familiar. He started to read the note.
''Meet me at the Hokage memorial tomorrow at twilight. That's exactly from 4:57 to 6:57. I will be there at 5:00 on the fourth's head. Please be there. Sincerely, Urui Chiyo.'' was what was written on the note. Naruto could not believe that she wanted to be with him alone. Was she going to ask him if he liked her? Was she expecting him to ask her out? Well he definitely would ask her out. She was way prettier than Sakura and she was definitely nicer to him. Naruto put the note on his table and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. He knew Sasuke didnt even bother to open his note. Sure enough. Sasuke had thrown his in the nearest trash can on the way home. ((hey guys i didnt really know what time twilight is so i kinda guessed))
Meanwhile
Kakashi had remembered that he forgot to ask Sasuke what he was doing at his house at that time of night anyway. He shrugged it off and decided he'd ask him tomorrow.
==================================
In a dark alley, a girl sat hugging her knees and looking into the dark abyss in front of her. People that had passed by the alley could only see her cat-like yellow eyes and her luminescent orange hair. They said she was a missing-nin or something and not to bother her or she'd kill you. This was not true because what they didnt see was the blood running from her eyes. Salty, bloody tears trickled down her cheeks. She had to have been the lonliest person in the world right then because after a while people stopped gossiping about her and acted as if she were just some graffiti on the wall, long faded from attempts at being washed off, but still there, dirtying the streets of their beautiful village. It was like this for 8 years. Until her saviours finally came. Four young shinobi passed this alley. Three of them were from the Village Hidden in the Sand. Their names were Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara. The fourth was from The Hidden Leaf Village. His name was Neji Hyuuga. (( I know Neji wouldnt hang out with the sand nins wait would he? well anyway it's my fic so i say he does. I like making the cool eyed guys friends.)) Temari had looked into the alley and spotted those yellow eyes and stopped the boys.
''Hey guys. Look.'' Temari pointed into the alleyway.'' I think we should help her''. Gaara gave her a cold glare but Temari defied him with her own cold glare. She wasnt going to let an innocent little poor
girl die because Gaara didnt care. Gaara rolled his eyes ((does he ever do that?)) and let her help the girl. Temari went into the alley and the rest followed. She held her hand out to the blood stained girl
((think Sadako from ''ringu'' with orange hair and yellow eyes and you sort of have this girl)) and the girl looked at it. '' It's okay. Let us help you.'' Temari spoke calmly and slowly so as not to frighten the girl. The girl placed her hand in Temari's and the bloody tears immediately stopped flowing. She stood up with Temari's help. She looked up into the eyes of all four of the young shinobi and for the first in her life she sort of smiled. '' Do you have a name?'' Temari asked. Gaara thought this a stupid question. Of course she had a name. She might have forgotten it but she had a name. Temari could be such an imbecile. Temari sneezed when Gaara thought this. (( eeheehee i love when people are talking about people and the people they talk about sneeze.))
The girl gave a slight nod at the question but hesitated before she told them with a small weak voice. Her name was Feith. Neji thought it ironic that her name sound like faith. Feith sensed something from Gaara. Something she had only felt in herself for a very long time. She sensed that Gaara had suffered like her. Had never felt real love. She immediately wanted to be by his side constantly. She slowly let go of Temari's hand and walked over to Gaara. She reached for his hand and held onto it. She looked him straight in the eyes. With no fear. No defiance. No anger. No pity. Nothing Gaara expected from most people. He saw in her eyes what he'd never seen in other people's
eyes. Compassion and trust and the need for protection. He looked at her, without saying anything. The four other shinobi's eyes widened as he tightened his hand around Feith's.
