Chapter 6- Forget Me Not
"I must say my dear; you sure have grown into a perfect little doll for me. I think you're ready again to go upon the surface. This time, I have more missions for you to do so you're allowed to spend more time up there." He said as he caressed my cheek.
"I won't disappoint you master. I am your weapon to use at your connivance." I said as I allowed him to touch my cheek.
"Ohh goody! I love how you've turned out. I knew a few more years of training would do you good!" He said as he clapped his hands in excitement.
Just keep this up Kiki…keep your cold hearted act up just a little bit longer…
"I feel like experimenting. I think I'll take off that invisibility seal that hides you away and let you use that new jutsu you developed. I won't watch you this time…I think you have earned enough of my trust to do things on your own." He said as he snapped his fingers.
I heard a familiar howl as a wolf approached next to me. I looked down at the teenage Calcifer and immediately kicked him.
"Bow before your master." I said with venom to my voice as I looked cruelly at the animal and he whimpered before lowering down to bow before the devil and I.
"My apologies master. I have much to teach him still." I said as I kicked him again.
"Not at all Kiki. I'm sure this mutt will learn his place well." He said with an evil smile as he looked at me lustfully.
"Here are the scrolls to your missions. Take your time and bask in the treasures of the surface but don't mess with the balance. What happens happens and you are not to get involved with events. If you change the balance, I will know about it. You are only there to take souls…nothing else."
"I understand. I shall be on my way now." I said as I looked at Calcifer and grabbed him by the fatty part of his neck to drag him out with me.
"Have fun my doll." I heard the devil say from behind me.
Once I was in an opened space, I did a teleportation jutsu and suddenly Calcifer and I were out of hell and on the safe grounds of the surface again.
"Calcifer I am so sorry boy. I didn't kick you hard did I?" I said as I immediately knelt down to hug the giant wolf.
"You do pack quite the kick but I'm just not used to the whole trick the devil stuff yet." He said before licking my cheek.
"I'm so sorry…I didn't mean any of it. It kills me to hurt you like that but what your mother said about me acting cruel so long ago is working…I'm surprised that he is allowing me to be SEEN up here now…" I said as I used some of my healing jutsu to heal the bruises I left on his side.
I hugged him once again and reached in my weapons bag to give him a bone to gnaw on while I studied my missions.
"Secret Art, sphere lock jutsu!" I said after completing some hand signs and spreading them apart quickly to form a soft giant sphere to hide Calcifer and I.
This was the new jutsu the devil was talking about earlier. This is why he is allowing his invisible seal to be taken off of us, so I can test his out. This specific jutsu is my creation; it completely hides chakra flow, noise, and anything that could allow someone to know we are here. I think it's also something that was passed down in my family along with my kekki genkai.
"Oh grass, how I've missed you so." I said as I sat in the grass and Calcifer walked behind me to wrap himself protectively around me as he continued to chew on his bone.
"I've never been on the surface before…it's nice up here." He said as he looked into the forest.
"This used to be where I was from. This is the surface in which I was raised." I said before opening the scrolls.
I read them awhile and bit on my thumb nail in thought.
"Well I don't think we will need your sisters for any of these…we definitely don't need to trouble your mother either so let's start with this one." I said as I spun a kunai in my hand.
"What do they say?" He asked.
"Well for this one, we must go and take out a small mob that formed in the country of rice, the devil thinks that they could have done much damage if they expanded. Then this one is for the land of stars. There is an elite ninja with a strong evil soul that plans to kill the leader of that village. They are too poor to hire someone to take care of him. And then this one says that we need to capture lord Gato's soul. He will be seen on an incomplete bridge with a strong rouge ninja named Zabuza and his companion Haku. I only need to take Gato's and his thugs." I said to the wolf.
"So shall we start with the land of stars?" Calcifer asks.
"Yep. We only have a day before he plans to attack." I said as I got up.
Calcifer finished his bone and got up too. He was big for being a teenager but he is suppose to outgrow the size of his mother and possibly become as big as the giant toad chef…maybe even bigger.
We ran with unbelievable speed to the land of stars with my jutsu still intact so I don't have to worry about anyone seeing us. We reached the land within a few hours and I used wolf sight to carefully plan my course of attack. I saw how poor the land was…it used agriculture to supply their food but it looks like they haven't been able to trade with any other land… I suddenly spotted the man I was looking for. Kenta Mizakoui.
"Calcifer, this is good. He's in the woods due one mile north-east. It looks like he's training." I said as I stood up.
He barked and growled before we ran in that direction. We reached him within seconds and I summoned my death scythe and my reaper sight. We stopped in front of him to see that he has killed a little girl.
"That teaches you not to be nosy in my business brat!" He said before whipping off his sword.
Calcifer growled furiously and suddenly the reaper inside of me awakened. My jutsu was released and Kenta was shocked to see us there.
"Where did you come from?!" He said as he readied sword.
"Mizakoui, Kenta. You are being charged with the plans of destruction to an entire village and the plans of murdering the town leader. Now I will add the charge of killing to your records. See you in hell." I said with anger as I lunged forward with my scythe.
He used his sword to dodge it and then Calcifer took the chance to bite down on his side. He screamed in pain and I swung my scythe to take his soul from stabbing his other side. The red soul was sucked into my weapon and his body slowly fell to the ground.
I looked over and wept a bit at the little girl. She lies still in the grass, her face in a state of shock and her hand clenching something. I walked over and Calcifer sat down and looked over the girl as I picked her up. I then looked at her with shock to see that she was still alive! I gently layed her down again and summoned the warm green orb of healing as I tried to close the stab wound in her abdomen and try to stop the bleeding. She soon gained conscious and screamed once she saw me.
"Wait young one, its okay! Please do not fear me." I said soothingly as I changed from my reaper look to my normal look with my long golden hair and green eyes.
She looked really frightened and then looked over to see Calcifer. She then smiled and walked closer to him. He didn't really know what to do but he used his good instincts to lick her cheek to clean off some of her tears and rub his head on her belly to assure her she was okay.
"Wow! What a nice wolf you have here!" She said.
"Thanks. This is Calcifer." I said with a smile.
"I'm sorry I screamed. You frightened me and the last thing I remember was coming into the woods to tell Mr. Kenta that the village leader needed to see him…but he was mumbling something to himself. Something about finally being able to destroy the village and then he heard me and lunged at me!" She said with great sorrow and fear.
I extended my arms out to her and she ran into them. This was the first physical contact I've had since Kakashi held me when I died! She was warm and she gave off this pure feeling of kindness and generosity.
"It's okay now young one. I have taken care of Kenta so he won't be able to harm you or your village ever again." I said as I looked at her beautiful brown eyes.
She giggled in excitement and then leaped out of my lap to play with Calcifer a bit. She was just stabbed and she is not in any sort of shock or nothing?
"You must be an angel. Thanks for looking out for me but I better get back to my village now!" She said with a smile.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" She then said as she walked up to me and extended her hand out.
I looked at it to see a beautiful flower.
"What's this child?" I asked as I knelt to hold the flower.
It's called forget me nots! I pick one whenever I come out here. I want you to have this one. I will take one of the little flowers on it so I don't forget your kindness. By the way, what should I remember you by?" She suddenly asked me as she touched the tip of her nose with her index finger just like I do when I think.
"Can you keep a little secret?" I asked her.
"Sure thing!" She said with excitement.
"Many people have not seen me but I am known as The Guardian." I said in a whisper to her with smile.
"YOU'RE THE GUARDIAN!?" She said with surprise.
"-giggles- yep! But don't let anyone know what I look like! I need to keep it a secret." I said to her.
She then stood up straight and crossed her heart with a serious look.
"Yes ma'am! Oh by the way, thanks for saving me! I'm Sachiko!"
I giggled as she smiled and ran off into the woods towards her village.
"Sachiko huh? The name meaning "happy child" suites you well." I said with a tear of happiness.
"The goodness in you is never ending…" Calcifer said with a chuckle.
"I don't know but she was the spitting image of how I used to be when I was her age….well come on. We have more things to do." I said before petting him and summoning my sphere jutsu again.
"Alright. Now for the country of rice." I said.
Luckily it was only 12 miles due south-east and we got there within an hour.
"Something seems very off here…" Calcifer said as he stopped to smell the air.
"I sense it too. I wonder what it could be." I said as I summoned my Reaper sight.
I looked around and noticed that there was a very evil soul lurking around in the woods. We walked closer to it and I immediately saw Orochimaru.
"This guy looks like trouble Kiki-chan." Calcifer said to me.
"I know. This is Orochimaru, a rouge ninja from the Village Hidden in the Leaves. That is where I'm from. He is very strong but the devil did not write a mission for us to get him so we will have to wait." I said with anger as he walked further into the woods.
"We are just ganna let him walk away!?" Calcifer asked with a hint of anger.
"We were ordered not to disrupt the balance! If I kill him, the devil won't be pleased." I said.
He moved away and we started to continue running towards the land of rice.
"I'm sorry boy, I know it's not right but I need more time to become strong before I can break us out. I can't screw up now." I said.
"I understand."
We reached the village and I noticed that it was nightfall. I used reaper sight and immediately found the gang in no time. We moved in fast and just like with my first mission, it was over in seconds and we were out of there before sunrise.
We ran far and for a long time to reach where Gato was. This was our last mission and then I plan on going to see the Hidden leaf village. The sun was nearly up and I already felt trouble stalking this peaceful village. There was a heavy looking mist cloud covering a bridge and I looked around to see that the citizens of the village were pained. I summoned reaper sight to see that everyone inside their homes had good blue souls. Then one boy was running around with a very pure white soul and was shouting for everyone to meet him at the bridge.
"What is going on?" I said in confusion to Calcifer.
"Let's go to the bridge, maybe its Gato…" He said.
I nodded my head in agreement and looked at the bridge with my eye sight. Then I saw that two souls were black and the rest were blue except one which was white.
"What!? There are two black souls here! I've never seen such a thing…" I said in confusion.
We reached the bridge and ran across it till we reached where I sensed the souls. I approached one of the black ones to see that it was Haku. He was fighting with what looked like one of the Uchiha boys and Naruto!
"Calcifer! It's Naruto!" I said in shock.
"Sasuke! Why did you save me? I didn't ask for you too!" Naruto shouted as the Uchiha kid stood in front of him with needles pierced into his body.
"Kiki, this doesn't look good…" Calcifer said.
"I know but I can't do anything about it…" I said with worry.
" I don't know why but I just did…" Sasuke said before falling on the ground.
Naruto looked furious. Suddenly a dangerous swirl of red chakra came floating out of him and it formed into the head of the Nine Tails!
"Oh no! The nine tails chakra has leaked out of the seal!" I said in shock.
In the blink of an eye, Naruto broke the ice jutsu that Haku held up and punched him hard enough to break his mask. I noticed that Sasuke's soul didn't leave his body which only meant that he was just unconscious.
"I'll interfere if the nine tails seal is broken but I have to leave it to Naruto to find it in himself to stop the leak from his seal." I said with great pain as I watched the boy that I once raised lunge to kill Haku.
"This is how the ninja world works. Your companions are bound to die…" He said before Naruto lunged.
I opened my eyes widely as I watched what happened next….Naruto actually stopped a few inches in front of Haku.
"Why…why would you let yourself be used like that! And for someone like him!" Naruto asked.
"Zabuza is precious to me. I will do whatever it takes to protect him…but it seems that I have failed today. It must be you Naruto that stains your hands with my unworthy blood." Haku said.
"Naruto…why are you in a place like this…" I said out loud as I watched.
Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice commanding a summoning jutsu.
"Earth style, demon hound tracking summoning jutsu!" I heard the voice say.
I asked Calcifer to stay with Naruto as I checked to see why this voice sounded so familiar. I ran through the fog and found a blue soul fighting a black soul but seconds later, a bunch of hounds came up from out of the ground and held down Zabuza. Then as the fog cleared, I saw who it was that I found to be so famililar…
"Kakashi…"
Oh me gosh! What's going to happen!? Well you'll have to find out in the next chapter that I will post later since it's 1 a.m and I have work in 7 hours….Well hope you liked it! Thanks for reading!
