Chapter 10:
Normal P.O.V
Kabuto walked quietly in the sound compound. His footfalls echoed along the long halls as he made his way to lord Orochimaru's chambers. He stopped just outside of lord Orochimaru's room and knocked. "Come in Kabuto" came his master's voice from within.
It had been a whole three months since Alex was brought to sound and already he was strong. He was at the same level as Sasuke yet his charka seemed to be dark almost demonic in some way. It had seemed that his bloodlimt was that of a dark or evil type. He didn't even need to chant like he use to. Kabuto had found that to be something that had bothered him. For he himself had began to fear the boy he had brought to sound.
Kabuto looked at Orochimaru's eyes and gave a bow. Not feeling scared like others would. He knew that Alex never showed any fear towards Orochimaru but seem to show some type of respect towards Orochimaru and he had noted that Orochimaru seemed at this time to be amused.
"What is Kabuto?" came the dark a slimly voice that was Orochimaru's. Kabuto looked at lord Orochimaru and said, "My Lord it seems that Alex Kun is coming along quite nicely. Also this years Chunnin Exams are coming up and I would like to put together a three man squad with Alex in the team. But unlike last time they will not wear sound ninja headbands for that would be foolish. I think I will give them Grass ninja headbands from that team of grass ninja that we killed. I had ordered our men to take the headbands and give them to me for this event." Kabuto smirked as he had thought it up on his own.
Orochimaru knew that they needed info on new teams and the best way to do this was what Kabuto had done. By taking headbands off dead ninjas. "Very well Kabuto I will allow you to get more info by using our little Alex. I have two other sound ninja in mind. And I have a copy of the sheet that they need to enter the exams. So when they are ready you shall give them the sheets and take them as far as you are able" He told Kabuto who nodded. Kabuto then left to do what he needed to do.
Alex's P.O.V
I didn't know how long I had trained. It was three months ago that I came here. My roommate seems to be happy that I am strong, and yet at the same time he seems to be also scared of me. I can't blame him though I am a little bit scared. I had noticed that something is not right. I have learned that my bloodlimt is strong and I need to chant or rather a use to need to chant. Now I just have to think the chant in my head and it happens.
Let me tell you what it is I can do. When I first started like I said I needed to chant. I would chant these lines out, Black flame Lilly I reject. And then black flames shoot out of thin air and burn what it is I am aiming at. I find that I have to keep looking at what it is I am trying to attack. Yet the feeling I have is so dark and cold. So evil that I find myself feeling scared.
Also it was at this time I first heard that voice in my head. At least I think it is in my head. It seems to have an evil tone and the voice itself is dark, cold and evil when it speaks. I at time have had talks with the voice, I have even felt as if the voice has tried to take over my own body to make it doge or attack what is at the time attacking me.
I now sit on the bed that my roommate has given me. Yes he gave me a bed or rather he made it. I must say he is very good at making a bed. He told me he used to be a carpenter. Yet Orochimaru had tricked him into joining sound. He was strong and was good in Taijutsu which was good for him. While he was here he had learned Ninjutsu and Genjutsu.
I think about the voice and a shiver comes to me. I feel scared but I know not to show it. That would look like weakness to them. I heard that the Chunnin Exams is coming up and hope they don't send me, but something tells me I have no say and they will make me go. Then the voice speaks to me as if reading my thoughts.
"What's wrong king? Scared to fight in the exam? Your weak without me, I can help you, I can free you and show you how to fight for real." It mocks me as if I really am weak. I frown at what it says. I feel as if it is a ghost, or a demon trying to mess with my head. I feel as though it may even be an inner me, like from the anime Bleach. An inner hollow that screams for me to kill that tries to over throw me in order to carry out a bloodlust of some kind. I shake my head as if to rid me of the thought. No I am not scared to fight; I am scared of losing control.
I hear him laugh and I glare at nothing to those who can see me. I get up and head out into the training grounds. I need to train and find away to see what the voice looks like, for all I know it could be nothing more then a Genjutsu. Yet something told me it was no Genjutsu or any type of Jutsu what so ever.
Amy's P.O.V
I was feeling pain. Kakashi sensei was not the one who trained me. He had got someone else to. Some new Jonnin called Ri. I hated him more then anything. First off he wanted me to climb a tree without using my hands. He even showed me how by walked up the tree in a straight line. The jerk didn't tell me how he did it; he only said that he wanted me to do it and something about focusing my charka into my feet. The thing is I don't know how one dose that.
I had been running up and down trees, sometimes denting them other times breaking them. Yes I am sad to say I broke a tree in half. Now I don't know how I did it but I did it. Ri still has not let up about since I did that. Now the pain I felt was from doing all the training. I can now say I am able to run up and down a tree. Without it breaking or getting any of the dents that it use to. Ri treated me to noodles. Although he called it something else. To me it was noodles I tell ya. Oh yeah I have learnt some new jutsus. Okay I have learnt jutsus full stop.
I have learned the shadow clone; see this boy with bright yellow hair taught me it. He said his name was Naruto. I guess he must be the main character from the anime/manga and video game my older brother plays on. I had also learnt Wind release vacuum sphere. I have dubbed that wind bullet. And water style raging waves. Ok here is the full list of what I learnt.
Shadow clone
Wind release vacuum sphere
Water style raging waves
Ice Darts Jutsu
Lighting Style earth flash
Flapping Chidori (No I never told Kakashi sensei that I learnt this as this was taught to me by Ri, who I have a feeling has not told Kakashi as he told me not to tell Kakashi that he knows and to keep it under my hat)
Mystical palm jutsu
Summoning Jutsu (I was taught this by a female called Kaede Darkwing. She made me sign a scroll in my blood so I could summon white tigers like she can, I am still unable to summon big ones the biggest I can summon is the size of a greyhound)
Water wall
Grand fireball jutsu
And last but not least the substitution jutsu.
So as you can see I have learnt a lot. No Ri didn't teach me all of them, some was taught by others. I am now trying yes trying to learn some Taijutsu. It is hard as I have found out. However when I have had this lesson cleared or over I move onto weapon throwing. Yes I am learning both of these at the same time. Taijutsu in the morning and weapon throwing in at noon and onwards. My body is killing me. Ri has gone all out with his training. He is the one person that has been teaching me Taijutsu and is the main reason why my body hurts. My weapons teacher is someone by the name of Iruka.
He was nice and all and I liked him due to his kindness. Yet something told me he could be deadly if he wished to be, like all ninjas could. And today was the same as most of the days here or so I thought. I walked into the training grounds where sure enough Ri was waiting for me. He gave me a smile and said with what I could call fake happiness.
"Well the Chunnin Exams are here and you are going solo in it, normally we sent in teams Genin teams of three but since you do not a team and the hokage has asked me to invite you to the exams I must warn you"
Already I didn't like where this was going, warn me about what and what was the Chunnin exam? I stared at him and waited for him to carry on.
"Now the exam is easy in one sense but hard for most. You have two parts sometimes three depends on who is running it. Just remember it is all about what you have learned and how well you do, as what you're fighting is like. In a short sense it is mostly to test your skills and level that you have come to" He told me which only made me even more confused.
The whole morning we spared, he showed me some new moves and we even had a weapons fight. He won but then again he is stronger then me. At noon we broke and I went to Ichiraku Ramen shop where I met up with Kakashi, Naruto, Sai and Sakura. Naruto was happy to see me as was Sakura. I could never tell with Kakashi due to his mask and as for Sai I gave up. He calls me young hag which makes Sakura beat him up. It was funny really.
"Hay Amy Chan come sit with us" Naruto yelled out and pulled me towards a seat. Kakashi eye smiled at Naruto and I and I could swear I saw a sweat drop. I just smiled and looked at Naruto and the others. "So guys what's up?" Naruto was use to this by now and smiled brightly.
"Nothing much we are going to cheer you on in the Chunnin Exams is all" he said which seemed to earn him a whack from Sakura, although I am not sure why. I smiled at him and said "thanks guys I will need it." He nodded and smiled.
Kakashi who was reading what I think is porn spoke. "So you really are going through with it? The exams I mean. I wish you good luck I remember when my team went through them. It is hard but a good way to test your skills." He told me which I had a feeling he was a little bit worried about me. Yet I shook that off as nothing. It had been three months since I have been here in Konoha. I have almost forgotten what my old life was. But I make sure I remember. I know my brother is still out there.
I have found out that I have indeed have got a bloodlimt. I feel confused on it through as I have to chant still. The chant I say is along the lines of, white then an element like fire water lighting and so forth, then the words lily I reject. The strange thing about it is that feels warm and I have found with the words, green fire lily I reject. I am able to heal it doesn't have to be fire it can be anything that is element but green in itself is the healing. I have come to a guess that the colours are the key. The colours I know are, red which seem to be for attacks. White for pure things. Green for healing and blue for restoring a person's charka.
Now this may seem to be easy, but trust me it is not. I have found I had to use or make two new hand seals and say balance in order to active my bloodlimt. Which is an eye one? Kakashi helped me to find that out on my own. My eyes have also changed they are silver cat like, and when I active my bloodlimt they change and have the ying yang symbol in them. I find that the most strange thing so far.
Tomorrow is the day of the Chunnin Exams and I am a bit scared. But I will give it my all as my new friends here are counting on me. I climb into bed seeing as the day has gone by so fast. Naruto, Sakura and Sai left to go and train. Well Naruto and Sai did, Sakura had to do medical stuff for the hokage. Kakashi and me had sat and talked about my bloodlimt and my skills I now have. As well as how far I have come since I came here. Then I went back home. I call it that as I have no where else to go. I look out into the dark sky, I can see the stars which is something back home in England I was not able to see. I think I ever saw it twice back in England. Here it seems the stars are always out to play. And I think how lucky I am. I gave a quite prayer for my older brother, hope he is alright. I miss him the most no one here can compare to him. They just don't act like him. I lay down and soon I am asleep.
Kabuto: She missing her brother oh boy, she will be weak and easy to fall when the Chunnin Exams start. I wonder how Alex will be when he sees his little sister.
Melody: Yeah I know will they have to fight like Hinata and Neji? I am not sure I think they will know each other, yet I am going to be making Alex seem a bit darker, yet he will still care for his little sister.
Kabuto: Really even though they are apart? When they meet they may not know each other and attack.
Melody: Kabuto Kun shut up they will not. Thank you all who reviewed. Please tell me what you think and as always all are welcome to share their thoughts. ^_^ Here is the list now of those who have reviewed.
