Hello, I'm the Lady of Gaia and that was a great entrance for Naruto
Last time, Naruto wake up from the dream of embracing Sasuke and the burns that he would have taken.
Sasuke is angry that Naruto had taken the burns and pain from him, just as he is angry that she knew something about him that he didn't and that she maybe his only weakness.
Lady Tsunade is worried for Naruto and wonders what is wrong with the young woman, unaware of the dreams that Naruto and Sasuke share.
Shion dreams of an angelica woman of his age and how she dies as well as something new. Shion sees Naruto's corpse and the broken connection that seems to drive Sasuke into insanity at her loss.
Love is blind and when you look at these two friends, those words could never be made truer.
Will the love they unknowingly share bloom in the light of love or wilt in the darkness of hate?
Destiny is decided by the paths that we choose. But as long as you have the will, then destiny can be denied and changed by one's own power.
Chapter 10: I'm a virgin!
"She didn't sneak up on us...do you think she's as strong as us?" the orange hair guy asked, eying her chest as he asked. Why were guys always staring at her chest? It wasn't that big...though it was as soft as it looked. Naruto couldn't resist blushing as she thought of how Sasuke always pillowed his head on her breasts when they went through that burning experience.
"Or she's stupid, Shizuku. I mean, with breasts like those there can't be a lot up in that head of hers, right Kusuna?"" asked the blue haired guy. The pink haired guy just smirked and that was starting to piss Naruto off.
"Either way, she isn't normal. But I get the feeling that I should put my money on stupid." Said the pink haired guy, his words really pissed her off. But she didn't let it show, instead she smiled sweetly like she would a lover about to embrace their long absent partner. She gave it to the pink haired guy, who smirked at her smile; if he thought she was stupid then she was going to have to show him that he was dead wrong.
Her smile turned cruel and her shadow clone jutsu started.
Thousands of clones filled the room, forcing the strangers out and away from the passageway that would take them to the priest.
"It seems that we have judged her a bit too quickly, brothers."
"Hell ya, you did!" all of the clones shouted as they gave chase to the strange ninjas.
"An earth fire wind combo should take out this lovely flower, don't you think so my brothers?" The pink haired one ordered causing the others to act on the order given, causing Naruto and the clones found themselves in a cage of earth.
Naruto did not expect being caged by earth or fire attempt to her flesh and bones to ashes. She had never trained for or thought this was a possibility and with the fire burning up the air, she had to force herself to remain awake or be burned alive. She refused to die without Sasuke being back at the Village, living the life that he deserved with Sakura. She would die to let Sasuke live the life that he truly deserved. He was her best friend and someone she would go to the end of the world for...even if it meant that he would never fulfill that empty promise that he made to her. With that in mind and with tears at her eyes, she created two Rasengans and slammed them into the wall.
Destroying the wall and got out just as Sakura slammed down on it, destroying it and all her clones! Naruto almost pissed herself at the 'I'm-going-to-pop-your-huge-boobs-after-the-mission-Naruto!' glare that Sakura was giving her. Rubbed her breasts as remembering the horrible pain that Sakura had inflicted on them when they had fought with Kakashi Sensei.
Naruto made a note to self to look for a stuffed bra that would look good on Sakura as a peace offering! Pink or green would look good on Sakura.
"Fair maiden of youthful beauty! Get your head back into the game here, please!" Lee shouted as he attacked three attacking ninjas with Sakura jumping in to help. The five ninjas with a storm of fists and kicks, clearly too close for the enemy ninja to use their jutsu; Naruto was quick to get into the fight as well.
oOo
Shion stared ahead, shocked by the leaf ninja that had appeared out of nowhere and had just saved him from the enemy. He couldn't take his lavender eyes off the ninja's head protector, though the true danger was behind him. His mind instantly went to the woman that had been in his bedroom, the woman that would die for him.
Naruto was her name and she was friends with the ninja in front of him. He didn't know why, but he wanted to ask him about her and about Sasuke. He wanted to know about both of them and their relationship.
The leaf ninja was quick to take care of the enemy ninja then all the enemy ninja were just gone and she appeared.
Naruto was standing in front of him, but instead of the angel that she had appeared as in death she now looked like a lady devil in black silk and leather. But her eyes and smile were something divine, it was such a pity that she was going to die soon.
oOo
Naruto listened as the guardswoman, Taru introduced them to the lord priest Shion. She noticed how he continued to stare at her with those lavender eyes as if they were looking for some answer that she could not give. It was a bit unnerving for her really.
"I am Neji Hyuga, leader of squad 7."
"I am Rock Lee."
"Hi, Sakura Haruno."
"Naruto U-"
"Uzumaki, I am aware of your name, Naruto or should I call you by your other name instead?" Shion asked her as Sakura sucker punched her in the stomach. Even in pain, Naruto stared at Shion as a blush burned across her cheeks. She really hoped that Shion wasn't talking about that name because if he was and said it aloud then she would never have another moment of peace.
"I will not mention for now...but I do have something to say to you here and now." Shion informed her as he looked her over like a fish in the market place. She hated that feeling...why was it that she always got that feeling when she was dressed more modestly? She wanted to wear her skimpy shirts and skirts!
"You're going to die very soon. You will be impaled through the chest." Shion stated quietly as he stared at her chest, making Naruto's temper simmer in her blood. Why the hell did men always stare at her huge boobs? They weren't that big yet!
Did he just say I'm going to be impaled through the chest? Naruto's throughts jerked out of the thoughts of her large breasts to what the priest had just said. "What? Say that again?"
"You will be impaled thro-"
"What? You can't be serious about this!"
"But you will die-"
"Nope! You got to be lying! There's no way I am dying before becoming Hokage!" Naruto screamed at Shion before Sakura knocked her out with several punches to the head, which sent her into dreamland's embrace.
oOo
Darkness surrounded him as if to try to chock the life from him. It slowly filled him with darkness of loneliness when suddenly the moon appeared overhead, forcing the darkness to fade to show him a sight that horrified him every time he saw it. His mother and father lied on the floor, dead from wounds inflicted by his brother. Itachi stared at him and Sasuke couldn't move when he was screaming from within his mind for his body to move. It wasn't until Itachi opened his mouth that his body finally did something.
He ran.
Sasuke ran just as he did that night and in every dream that this happened within. He didn't want to run, he wanted to stay and kill Itachi for what his brother had done to their family. But like every time before, his body moved on it's own and refused to obey him. The darkness suddenly began to close in around him as he ran through the streets, almost like it was his brother reaching out to kill him at last.
Itachi suddenly appeared in front of him again, reach out towards him. Suddenly a ball of intense light appeared between the brothers and Naruto's familiar voice banished the silence.
"Back off, Itachi!" Naruto shouted, rage filling her at the sight before her. She enraged to see Itachi tormenting Sasuke in his dreams again, it seemed to be happening more and more often of late. She never understood why she was trapped from interfering until Sasuke and Itachi stood in that street; it wounded her deeply that she couldn't do anything before that moment. Especially when she saw the agony in his eyes when he lied his eyes upon his brother.
Itachi melted away as did the street around them, leaving Naruto and Sasuke alone. Turning around to look at him, Naruto found herself standing at the Valley of the End with her standing on Hashirama's hand and Sasuke on Madara's.
"Sasuke-"
Naruto awoke, seeing Shion staring down at her. His lavender eyes stared at her as if they were looking for answers to unknown questions, it made Naruto want to move away from him even just a little.
"That's interesting." He muttered before he got up to leave the room. Naruto stared after him, not sure of what to thinking of the pass few moments. "What the hell was that about?"
oOo
Sasuke awoke, roaring like a lion denied his prey. Why did his mind have to torment him so? Why could he not simple to left alone in the darkness within his dreams instead of being forced to see his brother's face again and again with Naruto saving him every time? Why did she have to appear? Why did she have to make him so weak?
Why was she strong enough to banish Itachi from his dreams when he wasn't? Why did he always run, where she stood between them as his shield?
He wanted to hate her for it, he wanted to punish her until she learned to leave him and his nightmares be! But something within him screamed at him in outrage for the thought just as it had that day two years ago.
He thought of that day and how she had lied there, defenseless.
Sasuke stared down at Naruto as sound returned to the world. He stared at her and felt the chaos that roared within him at his actions; he had had the perfect chance to kill Naruto, but he hadn't. They were bathed in the sunlight that broke through the clouds, she looked like an angel and he knew this was a perfect chance to kill her as well. But the thought of him doing it, stopped him cold.
He stared at her face, unable to look away from her. He felt like they were in a dream, bathed in the sunlight; her weak angel and him her knight that would protect her from the darkness that would devour her like his family. But he was too weak still to protect her from the darkness, too weak to protect his last bond in this world from it. The circle of sunlight slowly became smaller and smaller than it faded on Naruto's face. In that moment, Sasuke decided to do the only thing that he thought he could and in that moment, his headband fell from his head as if it knew he would no longer be a ninja of the leaf.
"Naruto..." he whispered softly, feeling the word choke him. They didn't want to be said because he didn't truly want to leave his home, his friends, he didn't want to leave Naruto...but they all were making him weak. "I'm..." it was then he noticed the rain that started to fall around them. He looked up at the sky and it made him think of Naruto crying because he left them all behind for power from the darkness.
He stared at the sky and let it become his tears; he would only cry this once for the loss of their bond and nothing more. This would not be the day that he killed Naruto, his mind whispered before pain danced down his arm and force him to his knees. He coughed up his blood and he was forced to look at Naruto's closed eyes as the song she sang in the past returned to his mind.
Your my light
Forever
Standing by your side
I'm gonna keep your dream alive
Don't stop
Holding on
Believe in what you see
Oooo...
In the sky
Sundrop
And light the face of day
Watching the days go by
I see you smiling on me
Won't you, take my hand and lead me to out of town
Going out, hey
How can we stop now the time goes on
Against the wind I sing along
The story's just begun
It's a bright of day
Are you ready to
Start the dream coming true
Your my light
Forever
Standing by your side
To the outcome
I'm gonna keep your dream alive
Somehow
Suddenly
Your feeling close to me
And far
I'm getting scared I can't feel you
Being with you
Are my only dream
I will wait long for your light
Over the days
And over the nights
I will keep your dream alive
He wished that she could keep his dream alive and help him with it, but it was impossible and fear were fangs in his heart at the thought of her fighting his brother with him. She would be his weakness in that moment and his brother would kill her without a second thought.
He stared at her and the song played in his head with the thought of his brother killing her. It was only when he moved to leave did he see his magatama around her neck, that released him from the thought of his brother killing her. He moved to the side and kissed her, hoping she would continue to carry his magatama around her neck as he would continue to carry hers on his person.
He glanced at his sword for a moment, seeing only the magatama that was embedded within the hilt of his sword. Sasuke knew that the magatama was somehow involved with his and Naruto's dream connection. Even now, when he wasn't touching the sky blue magatama...he knew that she was wearing her. It wasn't on her neck with a lace chocker, but since she wore it as an earring as she did when she took his burns upon her own flesh.
Sasuke wished that the answers were still and that he knew what to do an regards to Naruto. He was angry within himself that he had forced his way through their connection when she had closed the door, yet he knew that he would have been worse in the door had remained closed between them.
His brother's words from long ago echoed in his ears , yet it was an impossible task for him...at the moment.
oOo
"Why did you change clothes?" Sakura asked as she stared at the pale orange kimono with white lilies that Naruto had put on, It was a beautiful kimono that had clearly cost a great deal of money if the details of the lilies were an indication of anything. The flowers looked almost as if they were alive and taking in sunlight.
"I shouldn't have wore that outfit, it was becoming uncomfortable but I was in such a hurry this morning. This will be much better, do you mind helping me the obi, Sakura?" Naruto asked as she pulled white stockings up her long legs. Sakura moved to pick up the obi lying beside Naruto.
She stared at the obi, dumbfounded by the brilliance of what she held. The obi was golden in color like the anther of the lilies on the kimono, but the flowers on the obi were what truly had her eye. They were daylilies in the colors of the setting sun. "Where the hell did you get this, Naruto? Was a gift from master Jiraiya?"
Naruto stopped to stare at Sakura for a moment before laughing at the question. "Hell no, pervy sage would fork out the money for obi like that one. I paid for it for one of my jobs...It and this kimono were just too perfect to pass up." Naruto answered with a smile as Sakura moved to help tie the obi around Naruto's waist.
"One of your jobs? What did you do exactly these pass three years?" Sakura asked as her mind when back to the movie that Naruto had been in. She still didn't know how Naruto and that guy in the movie had ended up covered in cream in the kitchen scene...at least Sakura hoped that it was cream.
"This and that besides Ich Ich paradise, I was in a few different movies too."
"Different movies? And what do you mean this and that?" Sakura asked before an idea popped into her head and a blush burned it's way across her cheeks. "Are you still a virgin, Naruto?"
Naruto froze for a moment before her mouth dropped to the floor in shock at Sakura's question.
"OF COURSE! HOW CAN YOU ASK ME A QUESTION LIKE THAT? CLEARLY I'M A VIRGIN!" Naruto screamed at the top of her lungs as her face became as red as a tomato. She didn't understand how Sakura could ask her such a question! Of course, she was a virgin...okay, so she knew everything anything involving sex because of pervy sage's horror inducing the talk and being forced to read (and on a occasion wring) his books. But she was a virgin, damn it!
After all, sex was fun but meaningless unless it was with someone you loved, and loved you in return.
"The movie made that a very unclear thing for me...also your clothes can sometimes give a person the opposite impression, Naruto." Sakura explained calmly.
"The movie? But I did nothing that was sexual in it!" Naruto growled. Why did everyone think she did sexual things in that movie? Did no one listen to the director's commentary anymore?
Quick to go to her bag to pull out a scroll, Naruto summoned Kosuke, the messenger toad. "Hey Naruto."
"Hey Kosuke, I need you to give Pervy sage a message as soon as possible." Naruto said calmly, though her eyes told the toad of the bloodshed and pain that she wanted to release upon Jiraiya. The messenger was more than happy that his balls were internal instead of being external like humans in that moment.
"Sure."
Naruto smiled and began telling the toad what she planned to do to Jiraiya if a press release wasn't done on the matter as soon as possible. Sakura turned pale at what Naruto had planned for her master...she had never realized that Naruto could be scary if you were a guy.
oOo
"Glad to see you're awake, Naruto...you were sure to take your time. What's with the change of clothes?" Neji asked when Naruto and Sakura entered the room.
"I just wanted to change clothes." Naruto said in a clipped tone of voice, causing Neji to look to Sakura for answers. Sakura just shook her head furiously in the negative when he did. Sakura would have to warn everyone about the question of Naruto's virginity, she did not want someone to ask the question and then find themselves without their balls in the middle of the night or be forced to eat them the next morning for their breakfast.
"Oh sweet youthful beauty of femininity, I had just realized that you played in the Ich Ich paradisr movie as the little sister, right?" Lee asked suddenly from beside Neji. Sakura stared in shock at Lee for a moment before in a flash, she send Lee through several walls. Neji looked from Sakura to Lee for a moment before looking back at Sakura.
"Was that really necessary?"
"Oh yes, Neji...It was definitely necessary." Sakura answered...at least it was necessary if Lee wanted children in the future.
Neji looked at her for another moment before shrugging. "Okay."
