chapter 7
NoPoV
Temari and Kankuro walked out of the grocery store when they sensed five chakra signatures coming their way in high speed. Five blurs passed them and Yuri walked after the blurs. "Yuri, what's going on?"
"Teaching the annoying men of my village a lesson. that's all, Kankuro." "What did they do?" Temari asked
"They thought it necessary to attack Gaara because I was asleep on the roof lying... with him. And they needed to learn patience. that is one I couldn't teach them because they ran. so I decided to punish them sending Swift and Tora after them." Temari and Kankuro chuckled at that image that was planted in their head. An image of the great copy cat ninja being scared of a tiger and a bird.
After a while Tora and Swift came back to Yuri each holding three pieces of fabric. The three men of her team came back each holding their hands in-front of their behind. Yuri laughed. "learned your lesson?" The men nodded. "what did you learn?" She asked them. "that we shouldn't make assumptions when we don't know anything about the situation."
Kotetsu said. "Well done. Now you said something about going home?" "The Kazekage has written a reply and we have to deliver it right away at home." Kakashi said. "fine let me say goodbye first we'll meet in ten minutes at the gate." "Okay." they agreed.
YuPoV
I went to the Mansion where the three siblings lived. There I found Kankuro cooking. "Hey Kankuro what are you cooking?" "Miso soup. Want some?" My stomach growled. "Yes please. I'm going home again today." "I see. Gaara is in his room and Temari is at the training grounds." I went to get them. During breakfast I told Temari and Gaara that I had to leave for home. Gaara wasn't happy with that. He threw his half-eaten soup against the wall. then he grabbed me tightly.
After he had me, he transported us to his room. Once there he hugged me tightly. "Gaara you know I can't stay." Gaara didn't answer. He actually started sobbing. I loosened his grip a little, which wasn't very easy, and looked at him. "What's wrong? you know that I will come back sometimes don't you?" He shook his head. "I will be on missions too. I might not be here when you are." he answered sadly.
"You know what? Why don't you come visit us sometime? oh and of course we have the chuunin exams next year." I blabbed on and on about what we could do. Gaara smiled a tiny bit.
"I'll come with you until the border of the country." I hugged him.
"I have to go now." He took my hand and we transported to the gate.
"Yuri, I have something for you too, so you won't forget me." He took a vial out of his pocket and filled it halfway with his sand.
"If you ever need me just release the sand. I will come to you." He put it around my neck.
I hugged him and kissed his cheek friendly. "Thank you Gaara I won't take it off. ever."
"Aw, such a touching moment." Izumo said. Gaara and I jumped away, I had a blush on my face and Gaara just looked embarrassed in his eyes.
The three men of my team laughed. The four of us and Gaara left. Kakashi was suspicious of what Gaara was to me. So he made sure we never had time alone. That was fine though. I didn't think of my red-headed friend that way anyway. After two days, we were almost at the border of Wind Country.
After I had said my goodbyes to Gaara we traveled further, but right when we were across the border we were ambushed. By the Akatsuki. This time they were after the scroll. After a heavy fight with Kisame and Itachi, Gaara helped us with defense, The two Akatsuki members had won just barely. Kakashi was knocked out because he had overused his Sharingan and Kotetsu and Izumo were out of chakra. Gaara was knocked out because of a poison.
Luckily I could sent Swift to Konoha with the scroll. the two Akatsuki members took me and they went back to their base. During the fight Kisame made a few sharks keep me away but I gained a new animal from it. A shark. so I could start with water jutsu's too. Itachi seemed to know that and he was annoyed with Kisame because of it.
Once we were at the base we had traveled three days. I asked them once who Sasori was. the two shared a look and Itachi said that I would find out myself. I pouted and kept asking when. They never answered.
At the base I was greeted with a verbally fight. The blond one and a silver-haired one were fighting over something. I didn't catch what though.
Itachi cleared his throat. the fight stopped. "We have a guest so behave." Then he pushed me to a room. There an orange-haired man with piercings all over his face was sitting doing paperwork. "I see you brought our guest back. You can leave now." He said in a deep voice. I felt a chill go over my spine. Itachi walked away after he gave my shoulder a soft squeeze. I watched him leave, feeling confused.
"Yuri. I want you to join the Akatsuki. Your ability is something very useful for when we go hunt the Jinchuuriki. Your ability when trained to it's fullest strength will make it able to let the Jinchuuriki live after we sealed the bijuu. and it makes the proces painless for the Jinchuuriki. of course we will continue with your training. What is your answer?"
"Am I allowed to participate in the Chuunin exams too?"
"Of course you can. we can't let you stay Genin forever now can we? what would the outer world think."
"I accept if you promise not to harm Suna and Konoha." I answered trying to keep Gaara safe and Naruto too.
"Why both villages why not just Konoha?" the man asked curiously but not showing it. I blushed not really wanting to answer. Luckily we were interrupted by a loud bang. "You can answer later. My name is Pein but call me Leader-sama." Then we went to see what the bang was about. Thank you whoever it was. In the living room was a big chaos. the tv, table and couches were blown away.
The blond male was in one corner groaning in pain and the silverhaired one laid headless under the table. and he talked. "Hey, someone put my fucking head back on. I want to kill that bastard." It creeped the hell out of me. So I ran away from the living room towards a hallway. I opened and closed a random door and slided down it. I sighed in relief that I could get away.
Then the hairs on my neck stood right up, as I sensed someone else in the same room. It was the redheaded one. He looked at me when I noticed his eyes. They look familiar. where have I...Realization hit me NO! No way! That man is.. my father? "Are you all right?" He asked. I nodded slowly. "What are you doing here with us?"
"I-I was t-taken during a m-mission and a-asked to join in e-exchange for some t-training." I stuttered because I was in shock. The man looked sad and pained. "I see. well I might as well introduce myself. My name is Akasuna no Sasori." "My father." I whispered. He nodded. I hugged him half crying. Because I was so emotional I let my animals out. Tora pushed me away while my shark which I hadn't named yet, kept an eye on Sasori together with Swift.
"It's okay Tora." Tora growled in denial shaking his head. I felt a change happening like that night I went to sleep in a tree. TORA! step aside! NOW! I growled. Tora attacked me attempting to make me stay away. He jumped me and I fell down but threw him through the door.
Then I crouched down and attacked Tora. We fought all the way down the hallway and once again through a door there we were outside I think. Later it turned out to be a training-ground. In the end of the fight I was on top with several cuts. I punched Tora once and he poofed back inside me. I was panting from the intense fight. My clothes were torn and my body littered with cuts and scratches.
When I stood up I could barely walk. I was shaking on my legs from exhaustion. the training-grounds had a small group of trees. I walked back to where I thought the entrance was. When I walked out of the small forest-part I saw some Akatsuki members standing outside. I smiled weakly and fell forward. I felt someone catch me. When I opened my eyes I saw my father. At first he looked blank. But deep in his eyes I could see an emotion brewing. worry. "I'm fine... just tired." I spoke with a big yawn. I fell asleep in his wooden arms.
SasoPoV
When I was working on a puppet an explosion was heard. I sighed. Deidara always loses his temper so easy. I heard a scream, then I heard footsteps running this way. My door opened and closed with a small bang. I looked at the intruder and was surprised to see my daughter once again. She slid down the door and sighed in relief. When she saw me looking at her her eyes widened "Are you all right?" I asked. She nodded slowly. "What are you doing here with us?"
"I-I was t-taken during a m-mission and a-asked to join in e-exchange for some t-training." She stuttered. I felt sad and pained. "I see. well I might as well introduce myself. My name is Akasuna no Sasori."
"My father." She whispered. I nodded. Yuri hugged me half crying. She let her animals out and her tiger pushed her away trying to protect her from me. They started to fight when I noticed that Yuri moved cat-like and her eyes were like those of a cat too, except for the color. After the fight was led outside and after a while I noticed her chakra level was really low.
I went outside where I found the others suddenly Yuri walked back here but she was exhausted, shaking on her legs with every step, and her body was littered with small wounds. She fell forward but I caught her before she fell on the ground. I was worried seeing her wounds closely because they appeared to be worse. Konan and, after Pein's order, Kakuzu checked her wounds.
Most would be healed without leaving a scar except for two. one on her cheek which actually looked like to be made with a claw and one running two inches from her ribs to her hip on her left side. Further she was just low on chakra. I felt relieved when I heard that she would be fine after a good night rest.
