"Lord Orochimaru. I have good news for you." "Yessss… What is it?" "We found the young Daichi girl." "Yes, after 7 years, we have found her. Where is she exactly?" "She is in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. She is currently staying with the 9 Tailed fox jinchūriki and the last Uchiha." "And who told you this?" "The spy we have over in Konaha." "Tell him to watch her. I want to wait until she's a little bit older. Then, I'll strike!"
Chapter 7
Skipping the boring taijutsu classes seemed like a pass time for me. I always found myself training from my clan scrolls, learning new techniques, and talking to Ganma of course. I was practicing throwing my kunai when I saw a woman.
She was a beautiful woman with flowing long red hair. She was practicing kenjutsu with a long dark red katana that had gold engravings that looked like dragons. I peeked from behind the tree. She was doing long, graceful movements that made her look like a dancer. But a little more deadly. She suddenly disappeared leaving red rose petals in her place. "Why who are you?" I heard a voice behind me. The beautiful woman was right behind me. I saw that around her waist she had a leaf village head protector, so she was obviously a Shinobi. "Must I say it again? Who are you?" she asked. "My name is Moriko Daichi." I said. "So why were you watching me train?" she asked with her bright brown eyes narrowing. "Oh, I was training, and I saw you and it looked really cool. The way you made the sword seem to dance was amazing!" I said. She raised her eyebrows at me. "Why thank you, they do not call me Konaha's Rose Dancer for nothing." She said. I tried to think if she was in the show, but I didn't remember a thing about her. "My name is Akahana Dansu. I'm a chunin." She said showing her pride. She was wearing a red dress, the skirt went up her leg revealing mesh armor tights and she had a net shirt under her dress. "Are you not supposed to be at the Academy right now, young lady?" she asked. "Heh, heh, heh." I said sweatdropping. "Let us go now, Moriko-san. Iruka-kun will understand as long as it is the fabulous me bringing you back to class." She said. We walked together all the way to the Academy.
I expected Iruka-sensei to blow up in my face. But the opposite happened. "Why, hello Iruka-kun!" Akahana said with her prettiest smile. He immediately blushed, "Oh hello, Akahana-chan! What are you doing here?" he asked. "I was training my newest kenjutsu student, Moriko, here and we ran late. I am so sorry, I hope you forgive me." She had a rose in her hand, doing a flirty smile that reminded me of Tamaki from OHSHC. "Oh, don't worry about it, Aka-chan!" he said. "Why thank you, Ruka-kun. And I must say, you're looking really fabulous today!" she said. "Oh thank you." He said getting even redder. "But I must go check in with the Hokage. Have a fabulous day!" she said. She whispered quietly in my ear, "Meet at the same place tomorrow AFTER the Academy." She said. Then she quickly spun around, and disappeared in a small tornado of red rose petals. All of us sweatdropped. "It's a good thing to have you here today, Mori-san. Because you're just in time for drills." "Man! This is such a drag…"
"So is she going to be teaching you Kenjutsu?" Sasuke asked. "Yeah… We're meeting tomorrow after Academy classes are over with." I said. "She seems really nice!" Naru said. "She just seems like a big flirt to me." I said. Frankly, I wasn't too excited about learning kenjutsu. It seemed cool and all, but she seemed like a hard teacher. "Well at least you're learning new stuff. I'm stuck learning that stupid Academy stuff. It's so hard!" Naru said. "I'm sure no one wants to train you because you're a huge dobe." Sasuke said. "OH REALLY!? Well I'm gonna kick your ass TEME!" I immediately got in between the two and smacked them both on the back of their heads causing them to fall over. "HEY!" they yelled. I sighed, "I'm too tired to hear you're arguing. And I'm too tired to cook so we're going to Ramen Ichiraku to eat." I said. Naru began jumping and singing happily. Sasuke sighed, probably wishing we'd go somewhere else. "Oh, cheer up, Quackers!" I said with a smirk. "Can we eat something else?" he asked. "NO!" Naruto said. "How about Sasuke chooses what we eat tomorrow. Okay?" I said. He nodded.
After eating, the boys went home, and I went to train. Ganma told me to make more flowers, and I did. I placed another bouquet at the Memorial Stone. "Well, nice seeing you here." Said a familiar voice from behind me. Kakashi. "Yes, it's a pleasure. How is your evening?" I asked politely. "It's peachy." We sat there fake grinning at each other. "So, who are you paying your respects to?" he asked. "Everyone who died for the village. Some people may not find all of them important, but I do. Each and every one of them had at least one loved one, and some of them don't get the recognition they deserve." I said. In the one eye I saw of Kakashi, I saw a level of respect. "The other day, I saw you talking to my sensei, Minato, the Fourth Hokage like you knew him." He said. I guess he was expecting me to explain everything. "Eh… Let's just say, I remember him." I said. "When he was alive, you were way too young to even know him. How do you?" "Listen Kakashi-san. I have my secrets, and I just met you, and I have no intention of telling you anything right now. So if you excuse me, I'm leaving." I said. I mentally said good bye to everyone and left a confused Kakashi there.
Sorry, this was mostly a filler chapter. I think I'll do one more about training with Akahana then I think I'll skip a year. That is my plan for now. AND did you notice the new Cover? Drew it myself. I have a crap load of pictures I drew of Moriko and Akahana. Maybe I should consider making a DevianArt… Maybe. Well anyway, thanks to all REVIEWERS, Followers, and Favoriters.
