Chapter 10

Told by Kyoka Keitaro

Mikomi fell down from the effects of the poison. I jumped in between her and Itachi. I took out a kunai and got ready. I used kage bunshin and got my clone to tend to the others; I didn't know what poison they used, but I would soon enough.

"That was a dirty, low trick – even for you punks," I said.

"It was necessary," Itachi said coldly.

"Too bad it didn't work on you, the only one who can fight us," Hoshigaki said.

"You really expected me to fall for it? Too bad I didn't realize it earlier," I said.

"Give us Naruto," Itachi demanded.

"Not a chance," I replied.

"Then we'll have to take him by force," Hoshigaki said.

"Like you could," I retorted. My clone realized what type of poison it was. I had the antidote to that poison. I took it out and tossed it to my clone (who gave it to everyone) as Hoshigaki charged me and slashed at me with his sword. He slashed through a substitution and looked around for the real me. I was in the trees and started throwing kunai like a mad woman. I jumped back down into the clearing as the others started to wake back up.

"Huh? Where – oh, yeah! What's happening?" Natari asked.

"What? Kyoka? Wait – it's you two!" Eureka said.

"It's the gay people! Crap!" Naruto yelled.

"K-kyoka, don't hurt him too bad," Mikomi yelled.

"Did ya have a good sleep? Because it was your last!" Hoshigaki said as he charged toward them. I took out my Tonfa, again, and blocked Hoshigaki's sword before it collided with Natari's face.

"Thanks, Kyoka, now I'll take this guy," Natari said. She took out her bo staff.

"No, Natari, run! You guys, too, I held them off once, I can do it again," I said. They grabbed their stuff and ran. Itachi appeared beside me and tried to punch me, but I was too fast for him. I was already behind Hoshigaki and kicking him in the back by the time Itachi realized I had moved. Hoshigaki flew into a tree. I put my Tonfa back in my pack. A kunai came out of Itachi's sleeve, as he charged toward me. I blocked with another kunai.

Then, Hoshigaki used a water jutsu. A tidal wave towered above me. Itachi moved out of the way. I quickly shot out my hair around Hoshigaki's neck. The jutsu stopped. Hoshigaki cut my hair with his sword and started charging me, again. Itachi joined him and pulled out a kunai. I disappeared and reappeared behind them. Knowing that I should end it fast, I hit their necks to knock them out.

I knew that they would not be out for very long, so I hit them on the backs of their heads really hard. I wouldn't kill them because Mikomi liked Itachi and it wasn't really necessary, they would be out for at least two days. I tied them to a tree and headed off to the Darkness Village. I met up with the others when the sun was setting.

"Man, Kyoka, you took too long," Natari said.

"I know, they were very challenging," I said sarcastically.

"You didn't kill them, did you?" Mikomi asked, worried.

"Yes, and I bathed in their blood. Just kidding, they're knocked out and tied to a tree somewhere," I said.

"Now you can go make out with him, Mikomi," Natari teased.

"Shut up," Mikomi growled.

"Hey, I see the Darkness village," Eureka said, pointing to the gates of our village.

"Yay! Finally home," Natari said.

I sighed. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed and rid myself of those nightmares I can never remember, I thought. I grabbed Natari and Mikomi's hands and we skipped merrily to the gates.

"We probably look gay," Natari said.

"Yeah, we are happy," I said. Natari looked at me. We let go of each others' hands and the gates opened before us. We all walked into the gates and headed toward Hiromasu's place. We walked in.

"S-class mission complete! Naruto is here," Natari said.

"I bet you enjoy him being here," Mikomi said.

"Shut up!" Natari yelled.

"Come on, calm down you two," Hiromasu said.

"Yes, sir," Mikomi and Natari said at the same time. That's what I like about Hiromasu, everyone in the Darkness village obeys him, because not only he's a great leader, but also because he's friends with everyone in the village, just like the Third was.

"Good job, now to fix the seal," Hiromasu said.

"What are you going to do to me," Naruto asked, scared.

Hiromasu sighed. "Don't worry. There is a flaw in your seal; I'm going to fix it. It won't hurt much."

"WHAT! Why didn't you let Konoha fix it," Naruto yelled.

"Because they don't know how. Now, Kyoka, you have more chakra than I do, I want you to concentrate a lot of chakra into Naruto's stomach, while I add my chakra to this scroll," he took out a scroll. "Then, you will have to make a line of chakra from the scroll to Naruto's stomach, ok?"

I nodded. It didn't seem that hard, but of course, the flaw was small.

"Now, Naruto, lift up your shirt," Hiromasu said. Naruto did.

"Ooo-ooo, Natari, I bet you like this," Mikomi said.

"Shut up, retard," Natari said. Hiromasu nodded at me. I put my hand to Naruto's bellybutton and started pumping chakra into it. The seal appeared. Hiromasu put his chakra into the scroll.

"Now, Kyoka!" I put a hand on the scroll and a visible line of chakra passed in-between my hands. Naruto was in pain at this point. Hiromasu unraveled the scroll. An intricate pattern was painted on it. My hand started hurting really bad and when I looked, a red chakra was surrounding my hand and quickly, it covered my whole body. Everyone gasped. It felt like I was on fire. I heard a voice in the back of my head, "So, you think that you, a human can keep me sealed in that boy! I am Nine Tails'! Now I can escape!"

The red chakra traveled to the scroll and the painting turned red and, then, the red chakra retreated into the seal, which had become more intricate. I fell backwards, but Mikomi caught me.

"Kyoka, are you ok?" Mikomi asked. I sat up.

"I-I think," I said. Naruto sat down, he looked exhausted.

"T-that wasn't supposed to happen. Naruto, are you ok?" Hiromasu asked.

"Yeah, but I felt like I was torn apart for a second there," Naruto said. Nine Tails' must have traveled into me and back into Naruto, I thought. I shivered at that thought.

"Kyoka, you're shivering, you sure you're ok," Natari asked, sitting next to me.

"Yeah," I said. I don't think I could've told them if I wanted to. The only person I could tell was Naruto and I didn't really want to do that, or maybe I could tell Natari, she was my best friend of them all.

"Ok, now you guys can go and rest, but you'll have to bring Naruto back to Konoha, soon. And also, all of you, if you tell a single soul what happened here, I will hunt you down and make sure you regretted doing it," Hiromasu said. We trailed out.

"Kyoka, can I sleep over at your house?" Natari asked me.

"Sure, in fact, all of you guys could. It could be a sleep-over," I said. Natari grinned. "That would be awesome, Kyoka!"

"Yeah, count me in," Mikomi said.

"Me too," Eureka added.

"I got no where to sleep, so sure, as long as there's ramen!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Well, you guys go get your stuff and meet me at my house! Eureka, do you think you have anything for Naruto to wear?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'll go get it," Eureka said as he ran home.

"See ya in a bit!" Natari yelled, running home, also.

"This is gonna rock," Mikomi smiled. Then, she ran home, too, leaving Naruto and me. There was an awkward silence.

"You heard him, didn't you?" Naruto said, as he looked at the ground.

"Yeah, how did you know?" I said.

"Well, I just did, I mean you were surrounded in his chakra and I felt Nine Tails' leave my body," Naruto said, looking me in the eye.

"Everyone shunned you didn't they, thinking you were the Nine Tails' fox demon?" I said. Naruto nodded. I rubbed his hair, fondly. "You're an alright kid," I said, smiling. He smiled, too.

"Now, come on, I'll show you my place," I said. We walked to my house and I unlocked the door. "Excuse the mess; I didn't expect anyone to be over besides Natari. Her little house is so messy, you can't see the floor," I said, laughing. I walked into the kitchen, after dumping my pack on my bed. I said, "Feel free, just don't break anything."

I got out some ramen and put it on the counter. I also got out the ingredients for smores; I always make them when Natari comes over. I remembered the first time she came over; she was in tears and was only five at the time. She had found out about the wolf spirit and how they put it in her because her parents had died. She got real upset if you mentioned the term, 'parents.' But, of course, so did all four of us and that's what made us such great friends, we understood each other.

"Wow! You have so many books," Naruto exclaimed from the other room.

"Yeah, I love to read," I said. I went into my room and emptied my bag onto my bed. I got out my sleeping bag and set it in the living room. Just then, Natari burst open the door with her sleeping bag and, I hoped everything she needed. "Kyoka! Kyoka! Oh, there you are! I'll put my sleeping bag here." She put her sleeping bag next to mine.

"Do you have everything," I asked her.

"Yes," Natari said. Mikomi came into the living room. "Hey, guys. This is going to be great!" Natari looked at her, and then she smiled.

"Tickle torture," Natari yelled, jumping on top of Mikomi and tickling her. Natari found out Mikomi was ticklish a long time ago on accident. Every once in awhile she would do this.

"Get off! Ha, ha, ha! Get off, Natari," Mikomi yelled, as she pushed Natari off. Then, Eureka came in, packed with a lot of stuff.

"Ok! I got a sleeping bag for you, Naruto and an extra change of clothes. They'll be a bit big, but they'll do," Eureka said, smiling. Eureka handed Naruto the sleeping bag and clothes.

"Thanks," Naruto said. Mikomi, Eureka and Naruto laid their sleeping bags on the floor. I went into the kitchen and started boiling some water for the ramen.

"When's it gonna be done, Kyoka?" Natari called from the other room.

"In a minute, now be patient," I said. I slid the noodles in and stirred them, absent-mindedly. I looked out the window, it had started raining. I filtered out the water and put the noodles into five bowls with forks. I carried them into the living room.

"Yay! Ramen," Natari yelled, taking her bowl.

"Thank you for the feast," Naruto said, as he took his.

"Thanks, Kyoka," Eureka said, taking a bowl.

"Thank you," Mikomi said, taking hers also. We ate in silence and when we were done, I took the bowls to the kitchen and dumped the in the sink. I roasted some marshmallows on the stove and made some smores. I carried them into the living room.

"Smores!" Natari yelled, taking one.

"What are those?" Naruto said.

"Smores. How about you try one; they're great," Natari said. After that, everyone took one and ate it. I sat on my sleeping bag.

"These are great," Naruto said, taking another.

"I agree," Eureka said.

"They're probably fattening," Mikomi added.

"Who cares? They're great!" Natari exclaimed.

"You better watch it, Natari, or you'll get fat," Mikomi said. Natari just gave her a nasty look. Soon, we ran out of smores.

"Man, I'm full," Natari said.

"Yeah, you ate like twelve of those things," Mikomi chastised.

"I was hungry!" Natari yelled.

"Ok, time to turn in! Everyone get your pj's on, first," I said.

"But it's not even twelve, yet," Natari said.

"We're waking up early tomorrow, to take Naruto back. Now, Mikomi, Natari, bring your pj's and follow me. Eureka, you and Naruto can change in the living room, just give us a shout when you're done," I said, leading Mikomi and Natari into my room. We put on our pj's, when Naruto shouted that he was done.

"We're done," Naruto yelled. Natari and I had on cat pj's, while Mikomi had on pj's with faeries on them. We walked out of my room and into the living room.

"Mikomi, those pj's are really girly and they make you look like an idiot," Natari said, with a smile. Mikomi just ignored her. We all said 'goodnight' and lied down to sleep.
