Don't own Naruto, just Mamoru and Kaisen
Chapter Eleven: The Okami Iki Revealed.
Smoke exploded in the room and all the ninja instantly pulled out Kunai in preparation of an attack. They looked around wildly when a voice broke through the fog. They all focused on the figure that was suddenly standing amongst them.
"Touch him and I will rip you to shreds." A soft but angry voice said.
The smoke slowly cleared to show a woman. She had waist length white hair and she had green eyes, a blue tube top that showed her stomach, a long blue skirt and a blue band around her foot,. She was barefoot.
The sand siblings stared at the blue band on her foot, recognizing it; the others demanded who she was.
"Who the hell are you?" questioned the angry Shinobi
"Really were you born this unobservant or is just a gift" the angry woman crossed her arms. She then motioned around the room "notices someone missing"
Everyone looked around and saw that the wolf Mamoru was missing, it was Temari who said it first
"You're Mamoru?" the others looked shocked, especially Gaara.
Mamoru's eyes softened as she looked at Temari
"Yes, Temari, it's nice to talk to you"
Temari nodded in shock while Mamoru turned back to the council.
"Wait your Mamoru, the demon dog that follows Gaara around" one of the Jonin said
"Woof" Mamoru said smirking before growing angry again and glared at the people in the room. "You Humans are pathetic; you blame Gaara for the way he was when it's partially your fault."
The older members had the grace to look ashamed while one of the younger ones said
"The Kazekage created him as a weapon but he grew out of control"
Mamoru growled, even though she was human it still managed to sound threatening and a lot like her wolf from.
"Erg wrong answer but thanks for playing" she said sarcastically. She turned to the Jonin she had originally threatened "To get to Gaara, you have to go through me" she pointed to her self smirking at the man.
The man looked about ready to attack her when the one of the members said
"Don't Jonathan; she's not something you want to fight."
The man, Jonathan glanced at the elder and back to the smug Mamoru. She smirked at him and gestured to come at her if he dared. The man gritted his teeth and despite the others calling out to him he ran at the woman.
She grabbed his outstretched arm put her hand on his chest and flipped him in the air and over her shoulder. He landed on his back with her foot planted on his chest.
"Don't get up" she threatened and turned to the others. "Anyone else wants to take on an Okami Iki" No one dared move "Thought not, now goes back to making a decision about Gaara joining the ranks. "The man made to move under her foot and she looked back down at him. "Did I say you could move?" The man stilled.
The council stared at her for a moment before one said
"You and Kankuro might not always be on the same team" these made Gaara tare his eyes away From Mamoru and look back at the elders. Gaara nodded in understanding "Alright, Gaara, we will start assigning you to other teams, provided you don't kill them for breathing the wrong way"
Mamoru glared at the man in his bad attempt at a joke.
One of the members looked at the boys and said
"I take it you heard of the invaders wiping out some of the outer villages"
The ninja nodded and Mamoru turned her attention to them
"Good then you understand all that has happened so far" one member said holding up a scroll "we already have a group of shinobi headed out their but we would like you and Kankuro to join them. We have a foot soldier group stationed on the beach looking for the base, we want you to go out their and make sure they get to that base alive, and destroy it if you find it."
Gaara nodded and took the scroll
"You have two hours" the council member said and looked at Mamoru who smiled and walked out the room. Calling out after her
"Baki, get your ass in gear, I need to talk to you"
The Jonin sighed and walked out after the angry woman/wolf. After a moment the sand sibling tore out the room after them.
They found a still human Mamoru yelling at Baki.
"She asked you to protect them, protect. You have them join a war, almost get them killed, let one go insane, I think we need to redefine Protect, and maybe loyalty to."
"Mamoru" Gaara muttered and the woman's green eyes softened and turned to him
"Yes Gaara" he blinked at her and she smiled. "The talking and human thing right?" the siblings nodded
"Alright, here it goes" she said sinking into a chair in the room she had entered the others following her example. "During the last great war, I decided to see what was so special about you ninja, I turned human and went into one of the battle zones. Worst thing I could have ever done, I got attacked by a shinobi and your mother saved me. Long story short, I became her friend and she taught me to speak." The siblings looked at one another before Mamoru continued her story. "Your mother gave me the name Kagura, and I told her what I was, an Okami Iki. We became a fighting pair, much like with Gaara I was always seen with her, but I was in human form most of the time. When she met her husband, I didn't like him, he didn't smell right to me, but she loved him, Kami only knows why." Baki chuckled at her exasperated statement. "I suppose he wasn't all that bad before he became Kazekage, power does tend to go to some peoples heads. Anyway, Karura's first two children, Temari and Kankuro I thought were beautiful. Temari you look a lot and fight a lot like your mother"
Temari blushed and her hand brushed her fan
"You do know that was Karura's fan right?"
Temari looked shocked and stared at the smiling woman.
"Really?' she questioned
Mamoru nodded and looked at Kankuro.
"You had an attitude problem" Kankuro bit his lip "but you were really good at being a puppeteer. So I figured they would improve your attitude some what. I also enjoyed it because your father hated the puppet people and you became one anyway." She laughed at an inside joke of hers while Kankuro turned red. Mamoru then turned to Gaara "It was you though that really caught my attention, when I found out what the Kazekage was going to do to you and the way your mother cried and attacked him I knew I had to do something. So I promised your mother I would protect you. I as an Okami Iki claimed you as my child. And when a wolf spirit declares someone her child, all of earth better not get in her way."
Gaara looked shocked before saying
"Why did you not come to me in human form?"
"We'll one, as a baby your uncle and father wouldn't let me anywhere near you, your uncle knew of my promise to his sister. After you gave up on humanity I knew you wouldn't have let me approach you as human so I kept the wolf form, it's my main form and easier to be in. besides being a human takes a lot of energy. So anymore questions before I go back to wolf form?"
"What do we call you now?" Temari questioned
"Silly Girl, I am still Mamoru, I have been given many names by humans, but so far I think Mamoru has been my favorite." She smiled at Gaara.
"Is Kaisen also an Okami Iki?" asked Gaara.
Mamoru laughed
"Yes he is, figured you would catch that. In the forest of death I met up with him, he asked me to help him convince his child not to abandon Konoha."
"Wait you stopped Sasuke from leaving?" asked Kankuro
Mamoru nodded
"I have my ways; I also got the Kazekage to stop trying to kill Gaara."
All three looked confused
"After three years of it, I got sick of it so I went and threatened him, he stopped. All the other ones were from other people."
"Why did he listen to you" Baki asked
"Because the man was terrified of me, I simply told him to lie off or I would kill him. I had waited thirteen years to get revenge for my friend's death and I wasn't going to miss any chance I got. To bad Orochimaru killed him before I could." She sighed sadly as the siblings glanced at one another. Mamoru stood and stretched, the others stood as well. She looked at Baki and said "Learn the definition of Protection ok" he smirked and nodded. She walked over to Temari and placed a hand on her check then patted Kankuro on the head. When she walked over to Gaara she grabbed him and hugged him. In his ear she whispered "No matter what form I take I will always be your Mamoru"
She then let go of the stiff boy and her form shifted, she changed back into Mamoru the wolf.
Mamoru sat down in front of Gaara and wagged her tail happily.
The siblings plus Mamoru headed out to the gate. The shinobi all stiffened when Gaara walked up. He handed the scroll to the squad leader. He read it then sighed
"Alright boys" he said to the troops eyeing the red head "Gaara, Kankuro and Mamoru are joining us on this mission."
The men all gulped and looked at Gaara and Mamoru. One of the soldiers took a breath and walked up to Gaara, Gaara looked up at him and said
"Yes"
"You're not going to kill us right?" Gaara shook his head no and a few men relaxed. "You're here to help and protect us right?" he asked again. Gaara nodded this time "And your wolf isn't going to come after us in our sleep is she?"
This time Gaara spoke
"No, Mamoru is a protector, she only attacks her enemies, which are not you" he looked at Mamoru pointedly and then back at the man.
The man took a breath held out his hand and said
"Alright then Gaara, Kankuro, Mamoru welcome to the team"
Gaara and the others stared at the man. Gaara eyed the hand but reached out and shook it.
"Thank… you"
A few men were shocked to here him say Thank you. The others felt that up close, Mamoru wasn't that demon looking. She just sat loyal by Gaara's side.
The men left the village, Mamoru, Gaara and Kankuro following; Temari and Baki were waving behind him.
It was night fall when they reached the camp on the beach. The Suna troops already there were fighting men in suits of armor; the tall pillars of fire gave off the only light. The Suna ninja sprung into action, but they realized quickly that their swords didn't slow down the armor.
"Are you alright?" one ninja asked looking at the other fighters. Before he could get an answer he was thrown off.
He rolled and crashed into a little shack that was one the beach, bringing the thing down on him. The man watched him but looked back up when the armored man swung his mace at him. It easily knocked him aside and moved over to the ninja who he deemed more threatening.
The ninja emerged from the rubble and looked around at the battle. The weapons were doing nothing, after being stabbed the armor would simply get back up. It was like there was no human inside.
"What are they?" he muttered "immortal" he looked up to see one coming at him
The giant mace smashed into the pile of wood. The jutsu that was on the man shattered to revel a puppet. It stood back up to face the armor. Opening its cape to show a hollow container; chakra strings shot out and grabbed the armor pulling it to the puppet. Once inside swords sliced throw the slots cutting up the armor and the person that may have been inside.
The armored men seemed to think this puppet was more dangerous then men and surrounded it. The grounded stared shaking and a ninja looked up.
"Not good hurry everyone fall back" the ninja and puppet jumped away realizing what was happening. Someone pulled on the chakra strings pulling the puppet with the men. Once they were completely out of the way. Sand exploded around the armored men and flew into the air with them; creating a twister of sand, filled with armor and wood. The sand shrunk back into the ground and compacted in on the men inside.
"GIANT SAND BRUAL" Gaara called out on his rock as he slammed his hands into the ground. The sand compacted in on itself and crushed the armor inside. Gaara stood and folded his arms, Mamoru standing behind him, her head even with his side.
Kankuro stood half in shadows as he smirked at his brother
"About time" he stated "Gaara, Mamoru"
"So who are we dealing with" he asked ignoring Kankuro while Mamoru snorted at him.
"We're not sure" the regular troops said looking at Gaara "they just came up out of the sea when we set up camp for the night"
The armor seemed to think Gaara and his wolf were to large a threat and walked back and jumped back into the sea. Mamoru sniffed then snarled at them her, fur on ends, teeth drawn back, there was no human in those armors.
"I don't think Mamoru likes them" Kankuro said.
Gaara glanced at Mamoru before looking back at the armor that had vanished into the sea. One of the normal troops rolled a boat down and entered the water, a shinobi jumped into the boat with them.
"They're not getting away that easy"
"Hey don't go out their" Kankuro called out.
Mamoru, with her eyes of a wolf, could see in the dark. Something else was on the water. She watched the boat pull out before something speared it and drug the men into the sea. She howled and snarled at the ocean while every one looked at her. They looked back just in time to hear the boat break and the men scream as they drowned.
"We're at a complete disadvantage at sea" Kankuro glanced at the still growling Mamoru "and its pitch black out here, only Mamoru can see properly"
"Fire off a flew flares" Gaara ordered the foot shoulders while putting a hand on Mamoru's head hoping to get her growling to settle, it was putting him on edge.
"Right" the men fired three flare guns and the lights shot out over the sea.
When they exploded the lights exposed what Mamoru had growled at. Three strange boats were on the sea. They were larger then any fishing boat, and had more metal then any cargo boat. Long poles and wires jutted out from the ship.
Kankuro grunted while the others gasped at the large thing.
"What on earth is that" one man said "I've never seen a boat like it in my life"
Something on the boats side lowered, the ship creaked as it did so. Smoke exploded from them as they shot something at the beach and fast moving red balls screeched towards them. Everyone's eyes widened as Gaara grunted and slapped his hands together then slammed them into the earth.
Sand poured down the beach, past the people and made a huge wall over and in front of everyone. The enemies' shots smashed into the sand the force broke the wall and knocked people over and away. One broke the pillar of fire. More were fired breaking and crumbling Gaara's wall. One was fired and blew up right in front of Gaara as he blocked his face from the exploding Sand.
