Still Kakashi's Point of view
I watched as the two Anbu left in a flash, making me feel uneasy. I knew I couldn't hold in this secret any longer…I had to tell them.
"I have to get to the bridge," Kim growled, completely unhappy with the scene that just went on. Then she took off towards the bridge.
"Kim!" I shouted after her, but she was already too far away to hear me.
"What is Kumotama…?" Sasuke asked really confused about the topic. By now Naruto went back to his training and Mar was still sleeping. "And why was that guy calling me that…?"
Kim's point of View (Later that Day)
It was quiet as we ate around the table at Tasuna's house. Naruto and Sasuke where trying to beat each other at an eating contest, while me and Mar just watched them in shock. But of course their meal ended up on the floor…
"You two never cease to amaze me…" I mumbled as they kept eating. "But you two are seriously gonna get sick if you keep that up."
"Why do you even bother…you just waltz in here acting all high and mighty when it's not even any of your business!" Inari shouted making us all look at him. "You don't even know what is like to be treated like trash!"
I felt like I got stabbed by a knife right in the heart, about a topic like that which really hurts…And to make matters worse Naruto had to make a comment about it.
"You know what kid…you think you're the main character in a dramatic accident…" Naruto mumbled with a hint of anger in his voice. "But all I see is a cry baby!"
"Naruto stop it…" I mumbled. Making him stop. "He's right…we shouldn't be getting involved…but still, this is our mission. I'm going to bed…"
"Are you sure? You barley touched your food," Tsunami asked a bit concerned as I walked out the room.
"Yeah I'm fine," I smiled taking one last look. "And Inari…I recommend that you don't say things like that…because you never know who you're gonna offend, you know?"
That Night
I began to bawl my eyes out; I couldn't stop the tears from flowing. I hated it when people say "My life sucks," or "You don't have any idea what it feels like," when the truth was…I didn't even know why the people that brought me into this world hated my guts so much. Why was I inflicted so much pain for three long years, non-stop…I just prayed that I didn't have to face that pain again…
"Kim?" I heard Mar's voice echo as she slid open the door. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah…I'm fine," I mumbled as I quickly wiped away my tears so she wouldn't see them.
"You don't look ok…" She whispered back as she walked over and kneeled down next to me. "Tell me. What's wrong?"
"I can't stand all of this Mar…I just can't," I sobbed as more tears came. "Is there anyone who knows who I really am?"
"Aww Kim," Mar whispered as she hugged me. "I know that there is someone out there who knows who you are, and I'm sure they'll tell you when you're ready to know."
I was about to say something when Oniisan slid open the door with a concerned look on his face.
"Hey…Are you ok Kiddo?" He asked as he kneeled next to me. "You seemed pretty down…"
"I'm fine Kakashi-niisan…really…" I mumbled as I gave him a small smile and hugged him. "I'm just tired that's all…"
I could tell he didn't believe me, but he didn't want to argue, instead he just kissed me on the forehead and smiled.
"Alright, if you need anything my room is down the hall." He finally said as he got up. "And Mar, I want you to look after Kim ok?"
"You can count on me Sensei!" Mar cheered as she gave me another hug, making me smile.
I was happy to know that even when I was down I had a friend like Mar to cheer me up and a cool brother like Oniisan…but I still wanted to know…who am I?
Inari's POV
I was sitting on the dock by myself when suddenly that teacher guy with the mask came and sat down next to me.
"You know, Naruto didn't mean what he said in there." He explained as I clutched my knees closer to me. "Sure he can be bit rude or thoughtless but he and Kim are probably the ones that understand you the most."
I didn't say anything, how could a loud mouth kid and a girl that always helps around the place understand me the most? He wasn't making any sense to me…
"Tasuna told us about your father…Naruto didn't even meet his own parents, yet I never see him cry. Maybe he just got bored of it and decided to do something about it." He explained to me, making me think a bit more about it. Maybe he was right…but it still won't change things.
"And then there's Kim…" He continued on, but his voice seemed a bit sadder then before. "I found her in an alleyway when she was three after she was abused by her parents and left there to die… I'm sure it still follows her around sometimes but she still keeps going. No matter what the obstacle is she never gives up."
I didn't know their lives where harder then mine…yet they kept going on with their lives. They're both so brave…I don't think I could do something like that…
"I'm sure that if you put your mind to it you too can accomplish something. You just have to keep trying" Was the last thing he told me before getting up and going inside.
Maybe he was right…I have to keep trying!
Haku's POV (NEXT DAY)
It was 5 am in the morning as I was walking through the forest collecting herbs for Zabuza when I spotted the annoying blond haired boy sleeping on the ground. I walked over to him and began to shake him lightly when I heard a shouting in the distance.
"Naruto!" The voice shouted a bit in a panic. "Naruto! Where are YOOOUUU!"
I turned around to spot the brown haired girl standing behind me looking at me a bit concerned. I guess she still hasn't seen her friend yet.
"Um, excuse me?" She politely asked with a smile. "Have you seen a short blond haired boy wearing orange around here?"
I moved over a bit to show her her sleeping friend, who was just waking up. "Huh? What's going on…?" He mumbled as he got up to look at us.
"Naruto! You're ok!" She shouted with joy as she hugged him. "You look exhausted!"
"Of course I am!" The blue eyed boy shouted, but then stopped to stare at me… "Hey…who's that?"
"I helped your friend find you." I smiled at him, making him blush a bit. "By the way what are you doing out here?"
"I'm training!" He grinned making his friend frown a bit. "So that I can become stronger and prove a point to someone!"
"Is this person important to you?" I asked again, maybe he would understand better.
"Huh?" He asked a bit dumb found.
"When you want to protect someone, you gain courage and a power that you didn't know you had just to protect them." I explained, making a light go off on both of them.
"Yeah, I know that one." The blue eyed boy smiled. "I want to protect Iruka-sensei!"
"How about you?" I asked the hazel eyed girl. "Is there someone precious to you?"
"Hai," She answered blushing a bit. "The one I want to protect them most…is Kakashi-niisan because he wanted me and took me in when no one else did."
"Really?" I asked a bit surprised but smiled. She was just like me, when no one else wanted me Zabuza did. Even if he wanted me as a weapon…I was so happy. "Then I guess we're not that different. I was found by someone too."
"Really?" She asked really surprised, yet happy. "I didn't know there where people that understood that. Being left alone, wanting someone to want you. Then finding someone who does want you."
I talked with this girl for what seemed like hours as her blond haired friend just sat there confused. I felt so happy, as happy as when I was wanted. But this time I was happy to meet someone just like me.
"I have to go now," I sadly said, making her frown a bit. "I hope we meet again."
"Like wise." She smiled as we helped her blond friend up.
"By the way…I'm a boy…" was the last thing I said as I took my leave. I could tell right away the blond haired boy was in shock.
"Oh and by the way my name's Kim!" She shouted one last time as she waved good bye.
"My name…is Haku…" I whispered loud enough for her to hear. I walked off again, passing a raven haired boy.
Kim's POV
I watched the boy leave, and I felt their was something familiar, and a warning feeling inside of me went off full blast. I dove forward, surprising Naruto, as a senbon plowed into the ground where I stood. "Heh...you're still weak." I looked up to find the voice, and received a shock.
It was the young man from yesterday! The one who saved that flirting dolt in the woods. He was grinning, his eyes covered by his headband. This surprised me, I mean how could he see with that thing. "Who are you?" I called up.
He smiled, and simply back flipped off the tree, landing smoothly on the ground. "I am a user of a kekkei genkai...like the raven haired boy hiding behind that tree there." Whirling around, I saw Sasuke emerge from behind the exact tree. How did he know? I mean jeez, he couldn't even see!
Sasuke's POV
I stepped out from behind the tree the shinobi motioned at. Unlike other headbands, his headband was strange. Not only did it have the country symbol, but their were weird markings surrounding it. The shinobi stood up, and he looked over at me, his eyes still covered by his headband. "Am I correct? Let me guess," he said, and he lowered his head for a moment, and breathed out. "Uchiha blood, I guess, user of the Sharingan." He raised his head again. How did he know I was a Uchiha? I mean, he couldn't see me. What the hell was going on?
Naruto's POV
I watched as he stated Sasuke's name, and even the name of something. It was like Sharin-something-or-other...I thought I 'd heard that before. Hey wait! That was the think Kakashi-sensei had! I looked over at Sasuke. He had that weird spinny red thing? No way!
Kim' POV
I watched as that guy mentioned the Sharingan. I looked at Sasuke. He had the thing Kakashi-niichan had? Wow, I never even thought of that. He went to speak again. "Just to let you know...the bridge is going to be attacked tomorrow. You may wonder why I'm telling you, but I have my reasons. One is that you're all too weak to do anything." Just then a kuinoichi dropped down. It was that flirter! "Especially you, Kumotama," the girl said as she motioned at Sasuke.
I watched in surprise as the shinobi walked right over and slapped her. The kuinoichi's head turned, and then she put a hand to her face slowly, as if in shock. There was a red mark. The shinobi gave her a withering glance. "You know sensei's orders, we're not supposed to talk about that. Besides, you're wrong." The kuinoichi's eyes widened, and suddenly there was another red mark on her face, on both of her cheeks. She blushed, embarrassed, and then left. I was confused. Who the heck is Kumotama, and what was going on.
Sasuke's POV
I heard the argument, but I paid no attention. The bastard had called me useless. That was enough...and he probably was like my brother. Preying on the weaker, nothing but a coward. With a shout I ran at him, two kunais in both hands, one in each. I took a swipe at him with both, but before I knew it he had already dodged. I looked around, and couldn't see him! But then I heard chuckling from behind me and I suddenly realized there was a sharp crystal dagger next to my neck. The shinobi was behind me now, but I wouldn't give up. I turned, but as I whipped around I saw him making hand seals with one hand, and the crystal shattered, as if he had broken it. "Otohari Shinsui no Jutsu!" Sound Crystal Flood Technique
Immediately there was a loud screeching sound, and the sound of screaming filled my head. I couldn't escape it, and as I looked around. There was shards of crystal around me, surrounding me. Then the sound intensified and I fell over screaming.
Kim's POV
"Sasuke!" I shouted as I was about to run to help him when a blur came out of no were and kicked the strange boy. Kakashi-Oniisan!
"So the copy ninja finally shows up…" The boy laughed, but how did he know it was Kakashi-niisan? His fricking blind, for crying out loud! "This should be interesting…"
"Ryomasa David…newly instated shinobi of the Cloud…you're just a genin but your skills are equal or higher than that of a special jounin…" Kakashi-niisan explained. "You're also wanted in 16 villages. You're occupying the place of 15th most dangerous in the shinobi bingo book…and you use a bloodline almost no one has heard about."
"Ah, so you have heard of me…" He smirked, pleased with the fact he knows who he is. "But I must warn you Hatake-san…I know much more about you than you know about me. For instance, let me tell you thus." The boy back-stepped, and sat down while lazily spouting his next words.
"Hatake Kakashi, your father was known as the "White Fang of Konoha." He went crazy after villagers tormented him that he saved a friend instead of completing his mission. You were trained by the Yondaime Hokage himself in a three man cell with Rin, yourself, and Uchiha Obito, from whom you received the Sharingan as his dying wish, crushed by a rockslide while saving you. Your only original techniques are that of the Lightning Edge, and that of your tendency to summon tracking dogs. But I recommend that you don't summon anything while I'm around."
He smiled. "And we also know you took in a certain someone from the Cloud. Be warned, I will be able to kill you with ease…since you were placed as 17th most dangerous in our books."
"David, that's enough…" Whispered an Anbu wearing a bird mask, "You can finish this tomorrow…" David sighed. "Yes Sensei…" He growled a bit frustrated with his teacher's interference. "We shall meet again Hatake-san…"
That guys voice…it sounded way too familiar…as if it came out of a dream, no…a nightmare…who is he?
"Naruto, Sasuke," Kakashi-niisan ordered. "I want you to train till you reach the top of the tree. You got that?"
"Hai!" Naruto answered as me and Mar (who just got there) helped Sasuke up. The rest of the day went by slowly as Mar and I watched over Tasuna, I couldn't stop thinking about those three ninjas…and how their forehead protectors set off so many bells. Not to mention the huge one my brain lets out when I hear that guy's voice…
"You ok Kim?" Mar asked a bit concerned. "You seem really dazed since this morning…"
"I don't know Mar…" I mumbled as I watched the clouds fly by. "For some reason the guy with the bird mask seemed too familiar…"
"I'm sure it's nothing" Mar reassured me. "Don't worry."
"Yeah…" I mumbled as I continued to watch the clouds.
That night Inari didn't bother to come down stairs, instead he ate in his room…Sasuke and Naruto hadn't come back yet from their training and Kakashi-niisan seemed pretty quiet…what was going on?
"We're back!" Naruto shouted as him and Sasuke came limping through the door. "And we made it to the top!"
"Good, get some rest." Was Kakashi's final order as he continued to eat, "We're protecting Tasuna tomorrow."
"Hai!" Naruto grinned as Sasuke helped him to his room. "Onward you stupid mule!"
"Shut up…or I'll throw you across the room…" Sasuke hissed as he went into the next room.
"I would like to see you try!" Naruto shouted, which was immediately followed by a loud thump. "Ow…"
Next day
The next day we where heading out towards the bridge early in the morning but Naruto was still asleep. So Oniisan decided to let him sleep while the rest of us went with Tasuna to the bridge.
The walk to the bridge wasn't that long but when we reached it there was someone at the end of it…Zabuza…
"Everyone protect Tasuna!" Kakashi-niisan ordered, making us get into position. I felt a bit nervous at first but then I could feel the thrill of this match, this time…we where ready!
"Well looks like your genin are shaking again Kakashi," Zabuza mocked as he created a few water clones to surround us.
"Looks like he's at it again…" I mumbled to Sasuke who got ready. "This…is troublesome…"
With that Sasuke went off at a quick speed and annihilated all the water clones, at first Zabuza was surprised but then he smirked through his bandages.
"Looks like you have some competition Haku." Zabuza said to the youth next to him. "Think you can take on all three of them?"
"Not so fast Zabuza…"
-------------------------------------------
Well peeps I'm ending it here! I know so sad…But oh well. Next one is a real thriller so don't worry!
