Chapter 10: Fits of Embarrassing Rage

[Tsuki – Two Days Later]

"Tsuki, we're going to be late if you don't hurry up."

I rolled my eyes and finished pulling my long hair up into a ponytail. "I'm coming! Isn't a shinobi known for his patience, Kakashi?!"

I heard footsteps outside my door. "Not all the time. We're already an hour late. Tsunade is going to have my head on a platter for this instead of just throwing something at it. Even though I'm usually late anyways." He leaned against my door.

"Well, I'm sorry that you didn't wake up until half an hour ago and then came to wake me up. It's your fault and you deserve whatever she decides to do to your head." Readjusting my uniform I did a mental check to see if everything was in order and then quickly tied my hitai-ate around my neck. There was a tap at the door and I growled lowly before walking over and opening it. Kakashi didn't seem to have expected it because he tumbled forward and landed on his hands and knees in front of me. I arched a brow at him. "I didn't know you were planning on begging for forgiveness. You've got the wrong person though."

He chuckled and slowly stood up, brushing off the non-existent dust. "You're lucky, not many people are able to make me fall down to my knees." He waggled his eyebrow at me and I narrowed my eyes before I reached out to smack him upside the head. He caught my wrist a few inches away from his face and gave me a smug eye smile. "Tsk, tsk."

I jerked my hand away and walked past him. "I feel honoured then." He chuckled again at my sarcasm. Heading down the stairs I stopped at the bottom and waited for Kakashi as he lazily walked down the stairs after me. "I thought you said we were in a hurry?"

He flashed me an eye smile. "We are." The second he stepped off the last step he turned around and grabbed me around the waist, pulling me into his arms bridal style. "And we're going to be transporting there so hold on."

I squeaked my surprise loudly and held tightly to his vest as he popped out of the house. Moments later we landed outside the Hokage's office with a soft thud and Kakashi nonchalantly let me go, dropping me out of his arms. If I hadn't been expecting it I would have landed on my back side. I grinned when I landed on my feet in a crouch and stuck my tongue out at him. "Nice try old man."

He rolled his eye. "I'm not that old. How many times do I have to tell you that?"

"Until I decide otherwise." I flashed him another grin before moving past him to gently knock on the door.

The people who had been talking inside the room stopped instantly. I swallowed nervously and jumped a little when I felt Kakashi's hand come to rest against my back. "HOW LONG ARE YOU JUST GOING TO STAND OUT THERE, KAKASHI?!" Tsunade didn't sound happy.

Kakashi reached around me and pushed the door open, moving me forward along with him. The second we stepped into the room Kakashi shoved me sideways and ducked just as a very large lamp came flying in our direction. I came to a tumbling stop against someone's feet just as the lamp smashed into the now closed doors. It took me a few seconds to shake the dizziness away before I could look up and see who it was. Sai was staring down at me with slight curiosity. There was another big crash as a second lamp hit the wall where Kakashi had been standing. I quickly crawled to my hands and knees so I could look over at Kakashi. His visible eye was twinkling with mirth. I sighed and slowly stood. Looking back at Sai I arched a brow. "Is she always this violent?"

Sai shrugged. "I suppose so. But Kakashi-san is always late as well so he makes it worse."

When all the drama was finished and the Hokage was sitting back down behind her desk, I moved away from Sai and over to where Kakashi was lounging against the bookshelves, chuckling quietly to himself. Asuma and Genma followed as well.

Looking around the room I found Naruto and Sakura sitting on one of the couches near the middle of the room. They were looking back at me. I gave a small smile and waved. Standing behind them were seven other people, three which I'd previously seen. The sound of the Hokage clearing her voice made me turn my attention back to her. "Tsuki, I'm sure you're wondering why I called you and Kakashi here."

I nodded. "I am, Hokage-sama."

"I'll get right to the point then." She stood up and walked around her desk so that she could stand behind the couch the Naruto and Sakura were sitting on. "I asked you hear because I want to see just how powerful you are. Think of it as... training." She grinned over at me and I couldn't stop the shiver of dread that washed down my spine. Kakashi gently rested his hand on my shoulder and squeezed. "Since I'm... forcing you to become a kunoichi of Konoha this training is essential. It will allow me to see who I can put you with on future missions without any fear of you trying to attack them and run away."

I nodded slowly, slightly thankful for Kakashi's warm hand on my shoulder. "I understand, Hokage-sama. I'm still considered an enemy until I can possibly prove myself."

She shrugged. "I suppose you could put it that way." She moved away from the couch until she was standing beside the group of people I didn't know and motioned for me to come closer to her. I looked back at Kakashi and only moved forward when he gave me a warm eye smile and a gentle push. When I was standing a few feet from the group she motioned to one of the guys. He was wearing the same skintight green spandex suit that the young man Kakashi had called Lee wore and had the same hair style. "I'd like to introduce you to Gai Maito. He's going to be one of your ten training partners... aside from those three idiots leaning against my bookshelves."

Gai reached out his massive hand to me and flashed me a very blinding smile. It took me a few seconds before I could see again. When I could I tentatively took his hand and shook it. "It's a pleasure to meet such a beautiful blossom of youth."

I narrowed my eyes at him but didn't say anything. The Hokage pointed at the young man that matched Gai. "This is Gai's ex-student, Lee. I believe you've had an encounter with him a few days ago. He'll be training with you."

Nodding I took Lee's extended hand. We didn't say anything to each other; instead we sized each other up. I finally pulled my hand away and shrugged. "Nice to meet you."

Lee flashed me the same blinding smile his teacher had given me. I swear I'm going to be blind by the end of the meeting. I didn't say that to him though. "I hope you are a worthy opponent, Tsuki Hanahara. I will fight with everything I have!"

There was snickering behind me so I turned my head slowly and glared at Genma who was trying to stifle the laughter. When he succeeded I turned back to Lee. "Same here."

The second Lee stepped back to where he had been the young lady with her hair tied into buns stepped up until she was toe to toe with me, hauling the other young man forward with her. "You can call me Tenten." Jerking her thumb back towards the young man she'd hauled forward with her, she cracked a grin. "This silent, stuck up guy is Neji Hyūga."

Said young man, who was much taller than both of us, jerked his arm out of Tenten's grip and glared down at her. "I wish you would stop referring to me as silent and stuck up. I am neither."

Tenten giggled and rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say, Neji."

I arched a brow at both of them. "I guess you can call me Tsuki if you want."

Neji turned to look at me and nodded. His eyes were pale white laced with grey. I couldn't help but admire the way his hair fell down around his shoulders and was pulled back to rest against his butt. It was such a dark, rich brown that it made my fingers itch to reach out and touch it. It looked so soft… I'd always loved beautiful hair... "You may call me Neji."

Moving back away from me, the two of them silently watched me. I wanted to fidget nervously but I refrained from it.

A very tall, serious looking man with shaggy brown hair stepped forward and offered me his hand. Tsunade stepped up beside him and grinned. "This is Yamato. He's volunteered to help you train. I think you might find it a very... exhausting experience. He's one of our best fighters."

I took his extended hand and shook it. I could feel the calluses on the palm of his hand. It reminded me of my father's hands when I was younger. "I hope we can have a good fight, Hanahara-san."

"Please, call me Tsuki."

He gave me a small smile. "Tsuki-san." He gently released my hand and stepped back.

The only remaining man that I didn't know stepped forward after a minute of staring at me. He didn't offer me his hand, instead he bowed, his long red hair sliding over his shoulders to pooling on the floor. When he stood back up he absently flicked it over his shoulder exposing his extremely beautiful yet scarred face. "Please fight well, little lady. I wouldn't wish to harm such a talented person."

I actually blushed this time and looked down at the floor. "Umm... thank you... I guess..."

His laughter rang out like crystal echoing throughout the room. It was very musical and light and made my heart speed up with... joy? Yes... that's the only word for it. "You're welcome, little lady." He reached out and lifted my chin up so I could look at him. His bright green eyes sparkled. "My name is Rikiya Mamoto. All I ask is that you don't let my charm stop you from attacking me when we fight today." I blinked up at him and slowly nodded, his warm fingers moving with my head. He gave me a quick wink and turned away, heading to one of the empty chairs in the middle of the room. He swept his hair to the side and sat down.

I followed his movement until he was sitting, then I turned back to the woman I hadn't met yet. She was shorter than me but her light brown eyes blazed with confidence. She had short dark violet hair that was pulled back into a high ponytail. I thought she was gorgeous. "I'm Anko Mitarashi."

"Hello... Anko..." Her hand extended out and I firmly gripped it. The second our hands touched though, her chakra flared down my arm shocking the both of us. Laced throughout her chakra was Orochimaru's essence. I could feel it... no... I could taste it. Both of our marks flared, but no one could see them. Anko and I could feel them. I watched as her brown eyes grew larger and she tried to jerk her hand away. I tightened my grip and started growling. "You know him."

She narrowed her eyes at me and tugged at her arm. "It was a long time ago. Let go."

My fingers slowly tightened on her hand, wanting to crush her bones. "I don't care how long ago it was. I can feel him on you."

Her breath was squeezed out from between gritted teeth. "He marked me. That's how you can feel him. I was nothing more than his puppet." I watched as she pulled a kunai out of one of her holsters and slip it beneath my wrist. "If you don't let go I'm going to remove that hand of yours. I'm not going to stand here and have a pissing contest with you."

I grinned and squeezed harder until I heard something pop. I could feel her pinky bone pop out of joint and it made me happy. Her growl of pain did nothing to sate my sudden blood lust. "Threats don't scare me, Anko. He made sure of that."

There was a flurry of movement around us before I was suddenly jerked backwards by someone. Anko had the same thing happen but I could see that it was Rikiya. He struggled to hold her as she fought to come at me, the kunai still gripped in her hand. I clawed at the arms holding me and tried to shove them away from me but I couldn't remove them. They were like iron bands holding me imprisoned. "Stop fighting, Tsuki."

I recognized Kakashi's voice but the blood lust that overcame me made me ignore him and struggle more. "Let me go! Let. Me. Go!" I wanted to kill Anko. I could feel the hate that Orochimaru had instilled in me pulse and seek a way out. It called for her blood. Her death. Orochimaru would want me to kill her. If I killed her he would take away my rage like he always did. He would be proud.

Words that weren't my own spit out from between my lips. "I want to make him proud. I need to kill her. She's a traitor!"

Kakashi growled against my ear and held on tight as I bucked and wiggled, crushing me against his chest. "Tsuki, Orochimaru isn't here. You're not his slave anymore. Anko isn't a traitor." I kicked out at his shins but he curled backwards and tucked me back with him, stopping me from doing damage. "Snap out of it, Tsuki!" I struggled harder and continued to try and claw at Kakashi's arms but my nails only met metal because he was wearing his ANBU arm guards.

The Hokage walked up to where Kakashi was struggling to hold me and glared at me with her golden eyes. "Don't make me do something I'll regret later, Tsuki. You're not under that snake bastard's control anymore."

I growled at her and started bucking harder against Kakashi. He stumbled but didn't let me go. Instead he turned and moved forward until he was pressing me against the wall with his body pinning mine against it. I couldn't move very well like that. "Tsuki, please stop."

Anko called out from somewhere behind me. "She can't, Kakashi. He warped her. Messed her up just like he messed me up. Except it seems it was worse for her. She only responds to pain and unless you're willing to dish it out I'm afraid that you won't be able to control her while she's in this type of rage." She was silent for a second before speaking again, all while clenching her fists. "I brought out her blood lust. I'm sorry."

I felt Kakashi look back at the people standing behind the both of us while I pushed back against him, trying to shove away from the wall. "What kind of pain will she respond to?"

It was silent for a long time after Kakashi asked that, only my growls and Kakashi's occasional grunts broke the silence. Finally Anko spoke up. "Any kind as long as it hurts and draws blood."

Sakura stood up from the couch and she shook her head rapidly. "I don't think so, Kakashi-Sensei! You are not going to do anything like that to her!"

The Hokage shoved her back down. "You're not the boss here, Sakura. I know you're concerned but she needs to be stopped or she'll have to be killed. I'm not going to put my shinobi and kunoichi in danger just because you think Kakashi shouldn't do something awkward to stop her."

Kakashi turned back to me and I growled at him. "Let me go, now."

He shook his head and I could feel his mask brush against my ear. "I can't do that, Tsuki." He slowly leaned down until I could feel his warm breath flutter across the back of my neck. He quickly grabbed both of my hands into one of his while he pressed me harder against the wall. His free hand moved up my arm and gently untied my hitai-ate. I froze for a split second before I resumed my struggles with a little more force. The hitai-ate dropped forward to rest on top of my breasts. "Forgive me, Tsuki." Before I could comprehend what he meant he reached up and pulled his mask down. I couldn't see his face because I was facing towards the wall and neither could anyone else because his back was facing them.

His very warm lips gently brushed along the bare skin of my neck and lightning burned across my skin. All the nerve endings in my skin responded to the touch and I couldn't help but stop struggling. I shivered in his arms and felt my body tense, waiting for his teeth to pierce my skin. It wasn't long before I felt them scrap back and forth against one of my tender spots. "Please." It was only a whisper but I knew Kakashi had heard me because he groaned against my neck. He slowly released my hands from the grip he'd had them in and wrapped his arms around my body, pulling me tight against him. "Please."

He groaned against my neck again before he gently spoke. His words vibrated against my chaotic pulse and made my breath catch repeatedly. "I'm sorry." Seconds later his teeth bit down against my flesh, pressing hard until they broke the skin and sank further in. I gasped loudly and I pressed myself back against him. The pain is what I wanted. I needed it.

Kakashi suckled against the bite mark and continued to press his teeth down into the wound until I went limp in his grasp. He slid to the floor with me and pulled me back against him so that I was cradled in between his legs. "It feels good." My hitai-ate was lying in front of us forgotten.

When he pulled away I whimpered and wrapped my hands around his arms, holding him in place. I shivered when his tongue swiped across the bite mark and licked at the blood. "I'm sorry, Tsuki. I hope you can forgive me."

I tilted my head to the side so he could have better access to his bite mark and slowly shook my head. "I don't care. I don't care at all. This is what I want. What I need." I was whispering to him again.

There was a forced cough behind us which made me jerk my head around to see who had done it. I was suddenly myself again and I wasn't angry. There wasn't any rage left inside of me. Kakashi took that time to quickly pull up his mask and let me go.

The Hokage, Asuma, Genma, Sai, Naruto, Sakura, Lee, Neji, Tenten, Gai, Yamato, Anko, and Rikiya were all staring at me. Asuma was blushing, so was Sakura and Neji. Naruto and Genma were staring at me with their mouths hanging open. Tenten was back to giggling and the others were just staring.

The Hokage moved forward until she was towering over me and Kakashi. "Feel better now?"

I blushed profusely and turned away from her while I nodded. "Yes, Hokage-sama. I'm sorry that I... snapped like that. I don't know why. I'm sorry."

Kakashi stood up and reached down to haul me up. I wobbled on my feet for a few seconds. He moved me to the side so that he could bend down to pick up my forgotten hitai-ate. When he was standing upright again he gently tied it back around my neck, but not before allowing his fingers to trail across his bite mark. I shivered and I heard him suck in a deep breath. We finally turned to face everyone. Kakashi sheepishly scratched at the back of his head. "Sorry for the show everyone."

Genma snorted and clicked his senbon around. "I'd pay to see it again."

Asuma smacked him upside the head and rolled his eyes. "I'm surprised you didn't get a nosebleed like the other times, Genma."

The Hokage turned to glare at both of them. "Shut up before I punch you both through the wall." They both shut up. She turned back to me and Kakashi with a heavy sigh. "Don't let that happen again Tsuki or I'll have to detain you in one of the containment cells. Understand?"

I quickly nodded, still looking at the floor. "I won't let it happen again." I shivered when Kakashi bushed his fingers down my arm. I looked up at him questioningly but he only flashed me an eye smile.
