Chapter X:
Part I: I have never been more bored in my life!
Yo, what is up. I am sure you are wondering why I am so bored, correct. Okay well let me explain, the day after the preliminaries I woke perfectly fine. Everybody was all worried at first but I just brushed it off. I was fine really. The first couple of days we were all just relaxing. Saki went on a mission, and has been gone for a couple days. Sakura, Naruto, Sasuke, and I just sat around each others houses all day, well except for Sakura's house. Yeah that was all good and gravy but then Kakashi ruined it with one word. Training. With that one word he had abducted Sasuke and dropped Naruto off with some pervert ninja that tried to boil him alive! I mean really what kind of shit is that!At least he found that sannin guy I hope he isn't as much of a pervert. As for Sasuke I shudder just thinking about Kakashi is making that poor kid do. Probably train until he passes out.
So now it's just me, because Sakura is helping Ino out at, at the flower store all the time! I swear I have never been this bored in my life. So I decided to go to the hospital, and visit Lee. So I took Sezert, who now carried me everywhere and we walked to the hospital.
" Hey Sezert. Your are a winged demon advisor right?"
" Yes, why?"
" So does that that you have wings?"
" Of course I have wings." Holy shit! He has wings!
" So does that mean you can fly?" I asked
" Of course that means I can...Wait I am not flying you anywhere!" Initiate pout face.
" But Sezert, imagine how effective that would be in battle!" He he stopped in the middle of the road. My face was hanging upside down in front of his.
" Well I guess, but we would have to train first. No exceptions." I squealed, yeah I know I was that excited.
" Thank you! I promise we can train as soon as we leave the hospital!" I grabbed the headband that sat around my neck, yeah it turned into a habit. What can I say, I love how it is all clean and not even a scratch on it. We walked into the hospital and the receptionist looked like she was going to say something, but she then decided against it.
" Excuse me lady could you tell me the room number for Rock Lee?" I asked politely because she had enough common sense not to say anything about Sezert.
" Rock Lee, he sure is getting a lot of visitors today the room number is 412." I nodded and Sezert walked in the direction of the stairs, he doesn't like elevators. I don't really blame him though I mean really, that stomach dropping thing isn't pleasant when you are in hurry.
" Sezert, you need to sprint up the stairs, I think this is the day that Gaara tries to kill Lee, we have to stop him.
" Hold on tight." I grabbed to area on his neck where the skin was loose and I held on tightly. As soon as I had my hold Sezert took off. It was like he was gliding up the stairs, the four sets of stairs where nothing for the speed he was going. I jumped off when we reached the door and ran down the hallway. We were ate 450 and we needed to get to 412. I kept my eyes one the right side of the hallway and skidded to a stop when I reached Lee's door. I opened it still panting for breath Sezert came in right behind me. Standing there was Gaara. Wasn't Naruto and Shikamaru supposed to be here. Gaara turned to look at me a glare present on his face.
" What are you doing in here Gaara?" I asked through pants. His face remained impassive.
" I am here to kill him." He stated like it was no big deal.
" Why, why would you want to kill that goof ball?" I asked.
" It makes me feel alive." He said insanely.
" Really, because I didn't know killing somebody in a hospital that can't even defend himself make you feel alive. That is kinda pathetic if you ask me."
" I didn't ask you." Oh shit he has got me there I have to think of something.
" True, you didn't ask me, but you didn't have to. Why don't you say we go somewhere and talk, you can let it all out and I will help you in anyway possible." Gaara's sand was crawling out of his gourd. " Or we can stay here and you can try to attack me. But I doubt that is going to solve anything. You sand can't hurt me anyway. My demon is way out of your league. The one tailed the weakest of the tailed demon, I have the Queen of all winged demons. She is way out of the nine tail's league. But we can fight if you want. I mean I could put you out of your misery." He glared. God I am lying out of my ass I really hope Athena isn't affected by his sand.
" You don't know what it's like. Being hated for something you can't control. Killing your own mother, your own family scared of you, your own father trying to kill you every chance he got." I cut him off.
" Gaara, I do understand, I did kill my own mother and I didn't even know I did. Athena took me to another world, where who I thought was my and my father didn't give a damn about me Gaara. I know what the sand does, yes it hurts other people, it kills other people, but do you want to know what else it does it prevents you from feeling." I walked towards him and stuck my hand out. The sand rushed at me but it stopped. I pushed my hand forward and placed it on his shoulder. We both had shocked looks on our faces. Oh my god, what am I doing. I put my other hand on his shoulder and looked down at him slightly because I was taller.
" Gaara, don't shut everybody out, your family may be scared of you, but they love you. Temari, Kankuro, they just want a chance to show you, but you are always pushing them away. Try Gaara, that tattoo on your face is just like mine. They are different though, mine is a figure of my past. Your's Gaara is a figure of your future, love. Gaara you can love and people can love you just let them in." I wrapped my hands around him and hugged him my hand moving to the back of his neck his head in the crook of my neck. I was surprised at first when I felt his hands wrap around my waist. I smiled.
" I want to feel love, I want to love, I want to be loved." I smiled widely and pulled back and let him see my smile.
" You can do it Gaara, you can." He didn't smile but in his eyes there was emotion other than hate.
" Why don't we go somewhere and talk. Ramon maybe?" He nodded and started towards the door. I looked at Sezert who nodded his head I smiled again and looked over at Lee. I walked to his bed side and kissed his forehead.
" Get well soon kiddo." I said I turned and saw Gaara looking at me.
" Do you love him." I smiled and nodded.
" Not romantically but I have love for him. So you understand." He shook his head. I smiled.
" It is complicated, come on I will explain on the way. Hop on." I said sitting on Sezert and patting the spot behind me. He looked at me hesitantly but sat down. " Hold onto my waist and don't fall" I said and Sezert took off down the stairs. We sprinted at out the hospital the people in the lobby only seeing a blur of colors. I smiled and laughed, as Gaara's grip got tighter.
" You aren't scared are you?" He didn't provide me with an answer so I figured he was, or we were going to fast for him to hear me. I smiled brightly when we entered the ramon stand.
" So Gaara what kind do you want to try first? Beef, pork, chicken, vegetarian, miso, do you want it hot sauce or with out." He looked at me wide eyed.
" Okay one of everything and an extra beef with hot sauce it is! Hey Ayama I am ready to order." she came over with her her note pad and I told her my order.
" I didn't know Naruto is here." I smiled
" He isn't, Gaara is and he has never had ramon before."
" Never had ramon where has he been his whole life!?!" I looked over at Gaara who was listening to our conversation disinterestedly.
" In the dark." I said cryptically.
" Hey dad, I need one of every ramon on the house, this boy here has never had ramon before. Oh and I need a beef with hot sauce." I smiled at Ayama.
" Thank you." I said petting Sezert's head. His head came up to my chest and he was sitting down, I was on a stool. I wonder it there is a way for him to stop growing so much, soon he is going to be the size of a horse! Ayama came back with our ramon and Gaara looked at if he didn't know what to do. I laughed before taking my chop sticks and breaking them.
" You know some people twirl their noodles onto their chopsticks, Naruto he just grabs it and shovels into his mouth. I take a noodle at a time. How are you going to eat yours?" He shrugged before taking his chopsticks gingerly taking a bite. His eyes widen and he scarfed down the whole bowl of vegetarian. Wow if he liked that one I don't even want to know what he, oops to late, he was already on the last bowl of ramon and I was barely halfway finished with mine.
" So Gaara, anything you want to talk about?" I asked as he finished his last bowl and I took a bite of mine.
" Your mark, what does it mean?" He asked gesturing to my collarbone. I finished the food that was in my mouth before answer. My hand landing on Sezert's head. I looked at Gaara recalling my past.
" I guess I should start from the beginning but it is a long story, do you have time?" He nodded. " It all started when my mother found out she was pregnant with me, she knew that she was going to die when she had me. I don't know what happened to my father, he is probably dead, so I would be left alone. My mother sought out Athena, who granted my mother's wish of my life, of course it cost my own mother's life. Now here I was a new born with no family and a demon inside me. Athena though it would be best if she sent me to a different world, where everything that has happened here it a TV show and anybody could watch it. I never fit in anywhere, and I got into the wrong crowds. I started smoking, drinking, and just all around not giving a fuck. I was alone, the people I called parents didn't care for me. My friends weren't really involved. I was alone. That is how I came to be known as the lonely goddess. Then Athena thought it would be best if I come back here. So now here I am with you, knowing everything bad that is going to happen and I'm stuck on whether or not I should change it. Gaara, I know what is supposed to happen at the chunnin finals." His eyes widen and then narrowed back into a glare.
"Did you tell anybody?" He asked in a hushed whisper. I shook my head. " Keep it that way." And he left in a swirl of sand. Ugh, I just washed my hair to. I turned to Sezert.
"You think I should have told him that last part?" I said using my mind link to talk to both Sezert and Athena.
" I think you should have killed him, it would have made everything a whole lot easier." Sezert said.
" Sezert you are an idiot, what Arianna did was fine. She opened up to him, he dropped his guard. She made him believe that he couldn't hurt her. So know he thinks she is the only one that can kill him, so he won't do anything to upset her."
"Wait, what do you mean, I made him think that I couldn't hurt him? I hugged the kid and the sand didn't do anything."
" That is because he thought you were telling the truth, there was also a part in him that didn't want you to get hurt my the sand."
" I am so confused!"
" Eh, you get use to it." Sezert added.
" Hey kitty chan what are you doing here?" I turned and saw Naruto and a man with long white hair. I raised an eyebrow.
" I should be asking you the same thing, Mr. Pass out from training and not spending anytime with his girl friend who has been bored out of her mind." I said my eyebrow still raised and my arms crossed. He smiled and rubbed the back of his head nervously. I laughed dropping the attitude and embracing him.
" I've missed you rug rat." I whisper in his ear.
" I missed you to kitty." I smiled and pulled away from him
" You know I really like that nickname." I turned to the guy with white hair and saw him looking at me with stars in his eyes. " Oi, Naruto. Who is the old dude?" I asked causing the man to fall on his face.
"oh him, that's Ero sensi. He is a huge pervert. He writes those pervert books Kakashi sensi always reads." I looked at the old man again and waved.
" Hey dude, I am Arianna, Naruto's girlfriend but you can call my Ari or noel." He popped up in my face.
" Arianna, the name of an angel. You are beautiful tanned goddess. I would like to do research with you." I looked at Naruto who looked as if he was going to bust a blood vessel.
" I don't think Naruto would like that very much. Besides that was the wackest pick up lines I have ever learned, I think maybe you should do research on effective pick lines." I looked over at Naruto and saw that he was trying to hold in his laughter.
" Oh what does he have that I don't. Why would you want an inexperienced little kid when you could have me?" I glared at him.
" First off, Naruto has a lot of things that you don't, for one youth. Secondly I don't like old men, my age limit is 17, sorry. And lastly who said Naruto isn't experienced?" I said making Naruto blush, the sannin looked at Naruto with wide eyes.
" Okay, I understand when my charms goes unaffected by the ladies." I smiled.
" Good. Hey would you mind if I borrowed Naruto for the rest of the day. I haven't seen him in a couple days." I said pouting. I swear I saw Naruto look away, but my main focus the sannin.
" Of course angel. Anything for you." He said a dreamy expression on his face. Ew, old men are creepy.
" Naruto, would you like to come to my house, I can make you something to eat? Please I really missed you." I said, I knew he wouldn't say no but still always make sure there is no reason for him to not go.
" Sure kitty, I missed you to." I smiled and grabbed his hand and put my hand in the fire transportation symbol.
We arrived in the living room in a fury of flames. Saki walked out of her room, with a bag, and her Anub uniform on.
" Wait you just got home and they are sending you on another mission." I asked feeling sorry for her.
" Yup sorry imouto, but I got to go I'll be gone for a week at least, but that should be my last mission until the final matches of the chunnin exams. I'll see you in a week kiddo." She said popping out of the house.
" Alright Naruto what do you want to eat?" I asked walking into the kitchen. I looked through the cabinets and started a list of possibilities.
" Um, I don't know surprise me." Okay that is helpful. " Wait no, why don't you make me your favorite from your world!" He said jumping into the kitchen. Huh what can I make that is quick and yummy? I could make sandwiches, no that is to easy. How about grilled cheese! Yup I love grilled cheese.
" Okay. I'm making grilled cheese." He looked at me funny.
" How you you grill cheese?" I laughed.
" You don't you, uh just watch." I said pulling out a pot and some of the pan spray. I went to the refrigerator and pulled out the cheese and butter. I then went into the cabinets and found potatoes and oil. Oh French fries! I took those out and looked for the bread, it was sitting in a bread box. I smiled and turned the pan on spraying it with the pan butter stuff and started buttering the bread. When the pan was hot enough I put the sandwiches on and found a put and put the oil into the pot turning it on medium.
" Hey Naruto you want to help my wash and cut the potatoes?" I asked turning the water on. He nodded and walked over to me. " Okay I will cut and you wash them. Okay Babe." He nodded again, he is so quiet lately.
" Kitty, can I ask you something?"
" Uh sure, rug rat." I said stopping halfway through cutting a potato.
" Well, I mean. How did you start liking me? Why me out of everybody else?" I looked at him turning of the grilled cheese pan, and putting the cut potatoes into the grease making in pop and burn me. I looked at the burn and laughed. Naruto looked at me weirdly.
" Why are you laughing, doesn't that hurt."
" Of course it hurts, but I like it." I said. " Anyway you wanted to know why I like you. Well I guess it all started when I first started training with you guys. I loved how you were always positive and stuff. I don't really know, I've always been smart, but there are only two things I am sure of, I love you and I always will." I said walking over to him and placing my hands around his neck.
" I love you to, Arianna." My heart skipped a beat. I love this kid. I smiled at him and turned the stove off.
" Hey Naruto, why don't we skip dinner and go straight to dessert?" I whispered in his ear pulling him into my room. He looked at me and threw my on to the bed. I looked at him confused, he took his shirt off and climbed on the bed making a beeline to me. I smiled as he crawled over top of me and planted kisses starting from the base of my neck and ending on my sweet spot. I bit my lip to hold in a moan as he sucked and nipped at the spot that could drive me insane. He smirked against my neck as a not so quiet moan escaped my lips when his hands reached under my shirt pulling it off and unclasping my bra leaving my breast free of support. He cupped my left breast needing it roughly, and caught my perky nipple in his mouth. I moaned loudly as his teeth nibbled on my erect nipple. This is getting hot fast, time to slow it down a bit. I flipped my self on top of Naruto, smirking at the surprised in his eyes. I turned my gaze to his naked torso and planted soft kisses to the rim of his shorts and his harden member. I looked up at his lust infested eyes and pulled his shorts down with my teeth scraping them against the fabric of his boxers.
" Arianna, please." He moaned as my hands cupped his member. I smirked at my potion of power.
" Please what Naruto? Tell me what do you want." I asked making him beg.
" Suck me please." He said blushing slightly. I smiled and pulled his boxers off.
" As you wish master." My tongue slid slowly down his member, teasingly at first. I brought my tongue to the head of him member circling it the sensitive tip. He moaned as I took his tip in my mouth. I slowly engulfed his member into my mouth sliding all the way to the base his dick. His moan set shivers of pleasure down my spine making my area grow more wet and warm. I slowly started bobbing my head down his shaft my tongue pressed firmly to the side of his shaft alternating sides with the movement of my head. Naruto's breath became fasted and strained. I could tell he was going to lose it soon I stopped at his head, nipping it teasingly before sucking his tip, hard. I loud moan was heard as Naruto's seed was spilled in my mouth, I swallowed every last drop. I crawled on top of Naruto my covered heat brushing against his member. I engaged him in a kiss allowing his to taste himself. His hands slid down my body to the buckle of my shorts unbuckling it, and throwing it in the increasing pile of forgotten clothing. He moved his hands to the button that held my shorts closed. I helped him slid my pants off leaving my wet panties on. He slid from underneath me and rolled me over so we were facing each other. He face moved closer to mine as he lightly brushed his lips against mine. Kisses trailed down to my face to my breast. His kisses trailed down the valley of my breast, to my toned stomach and finally the hem of my black lace panties. His teeth pulled them down slowly skimmed down to my ankles. My panties left abandoned on the floor. He kissed my inner thighs sending shivers down my body. His tongue left a trail from my thigh to my inner folds, making my moan in pleasure. His finger entered my warmth making my buck into him. A steady pace forming making moan in pleasure. His tongue darted out licking my sensitive numb sending me closer to my peak. I moaned loudly as his tongue replaced his finger, reaching deep inside me.
" Naruto, don't stop I'm close." I said moaning his name.
He smirked against me and pulled back. I glared at him through half lidded eyes. He smiled before positioning himself at my entrance. I inhaled sharply as he plowed into me deeply. Moving at a fast past, my nails digging into his back to keep from screaming his name. I wrapped my legs around his waist to allow him to reach deeper inside of me. He hit a spot that made me see stars. My vision clouded as he relentlessly hit the spot over and over again. I screamed his name as my walls clamped around his member sending him over the edge as well spilling his seed inside of me. He stayed inside of my both of us liking the feeling. I unwrapped myself from him and rolled over tired and sweaty he wrapped his arms around me and our legs intertwined and I went into a dreamless sleep, thinking about how this boring day started and turned out to be the best ever.
Chapter X:
Part II: training and an expect surprise!
I woke up to the sound of the shower running and cold. I turned and wrapped the blanket around my cold and bare body. I guess Naruto has to go train again.
" You should be training to, cub. You never know when you might need the skills you could have with Sezert. Get up and get ready, you promised Sezert you would train as soon as you left the hospital" Great not even 12 and I am already being hassled. She right though I did promise. Ugh I rolled out of bed and grabbed a towel. The shower was still running so I walked into the bathroom.
" Babe, so you mind if I hope in there with you I think I am about to fall back asleep." There was a quiet moment.
" Uh sure I am just getting out." I heard how hurried he was and hopped in the shower before he could get out. He turned around and looked surprised. I shook my head and walked in front of him turning the warm water up higher so steam became weaved in the air.
" By the looks of it Naruto you don't want to shower with me." I said in a pout in my tone letting the water run down my back and through me hair.
" It not that it's just I have to go to training, I didn't want to be late." He broke off not finishing his sentence.
" It's okay I will behave, I just didn't see the point of wasting water when we could just take one together " I said turning my back to him and rubbing Tresemme moisturizing shampoo. ( A/n I don not own Tresemme hair products however I do own a bottle of shampoo and conditioner.) I felt Naruto move behind me and put him hands through my hair hair massaging my scalp. Making me sigh in pleasure. When he finished I turned my back to the water tilting my head back into the water so the suds wouldn't wash into my face. Little did I know that this also pushed my chest out.
" Kitty you are making it very hard for me to behave." Naruto said his hands on my hips pulling my against his raising erection. I rubbed by own against him as I picked up the conditioner and stepping back as I massaged it through my won hair. I left it in a s I took my rag and put caramel vanilla wash on my body. I washed out the conditioner and body wash off and turned to Naruto. He was looking at me. I smiled and hugged him kissing his neck.
" Good morning gorgeous." I said rubbing myself against Naruto. He moaned quietly before pulling away.
" Good morning kitty. I am getting out now are you." I nodded and slowly turned the water to cold, loving how the water sent chills down my body I moaned as Naruto yelped jumping out the shower taking the shower curtain with him. I looked at his tangled body on the floor before sighing and turning the water off. I stepped over his body grabbing my towel and leaving him on the floor. That kid is such an idiot sometimes.
" Yes but he is out idiot, cub. And we love him more and more every minute." I nodded my head and started drying my body off. Naruto came in with a small towel around his chest and water glistening on his chest. I gulped before truing away.
" Yes, I do. Damn." Athena laughed at me before I cut the connection once again and put some lotion on my hands, rubbing it on my legs. I then went to my drawers and pulled a red sports bra and some red underwear to match. I slid them on my body and pulled out a black beater and small shorts as well as long red socks, similar to softball socks. I looked around for my shoes and saw Naruto sitting on my bed his towel still on.
" What I thought you were going to be late or something" I said looking under the bed and pulled out my black Jordan's. I put them on but then took them off as well as the socks settling for bandages and ninja sandals instead. I got up and looked for my kunia pouch and my knives. He shook his head.
" I will be but, I need clothes." Oh, I smiled and went to one of my drawers and pulled out his orange skinny jeans and black tee shirt. I then picked up a couple more pocket knives out of the drawer where I kept all my weapons.
" You left them here after the party. You can just wears those over to your house since you are already late." I said throwing them at him. " Well I am going to train with Sezert. If you don't pass out from training come over and I will actually make you something for dinner tonight. Okay." He nodded and I walked out into the living room and saw Sezert asleep on the couch. I looked at the clock and saw that it was only seven forty five.
" What the hell Athena, I could be asleep for at least two more hours!" She laughed but didn't say anything. That is so fucked up. I shook my head and decided that I should clean up the kitchen. I didn't feel like a tired tiger. Naruto walked out of the room and looked at me.
" I thought you were leaving kitty chan?" He said.
" Well I was but Sezert is still asleep." I smiled at him. "Will you wake him up for me, I just want to finish this real quick." He nodded and went into the living room. I smirked widely waiting for the sounds of pain and struggle.
" Down tiger, down!" Naruto Ran into the kitchen being chased by a more the pissed tiger. I laughed as he hid behind me. Sezert roaring loudly.
" Oi, shut up Sezert! Normal people are asleep at this hour!" I said hushing the over grown kitty I shook my head and Naruto stepped out from behind me.
" Come on guys get out the house. We all have training to do." I said looking meaningfully at Sezert.
" So you finally decided it was time to train?"
" Oh shut up I was busy yesterday. Now come on lets go. Naruto shut the door and lock it on your way out. Sezert and I are taking the easy way." I said jumping on Sezert and leaving in a swirl of leaves.
We landed in a training ground that hasn't been used in a couple years, the trees had repaired themselves, the grass was undisturbed and lastly, nobody comes out here anymore making it private.
" Alright I am going to start off with 100 push ups, then 50 crunches, 50 sit up, and then 50 on each side. How does that sound Sezert?"
" Do what you want, it's not like I am doing it, I am going on a run, I will be back in 20 minutes." Okay. I started push up going slowly at first but then gaining more speed, at 45 I switched to clapping in between each push up working more muscles. I burned through the crunches and sit up, taking a little longer in the side ones wanting to do them correctly. Sezert wasn't back yet so I, did some punches and kicks. I did high kicks that reached over my head and some sweeping kicks. Before turning around and blocking Sezert's claws.
" You are to loud Mr. If you plan on sneaking up on somebody be quiet and stealthy. Isn't that like you instinct or something?"
" Oi, shut up! I just started this tiger thing, I have been stuck as a fucking house cat my whole life. I have never even used my wings before." He said sulking.
" Okay well now is time to start. I want you to weave between the trees. Stay low but not to low I don't want anybody to see you okay. I am the only one that knows you can fly and I want to keep it that way until the final exams." I said smirking at the thought of my grand entrance.
" You always want to show off! What is wrong with you!" I shrugged.
" Who knows, now go fly somewhere. I have training to do." I said returning to my kicks counting from one. I figured I would do 150 kicks the switch to punches and then start alternating. I did my training in a daze as I though about my entrance for the chunnin exams. I didn't realize that my hands started bleeding and the bandages on my leg were tearing. I stopped as I realized the training stump had became bloody. I looked at my hands and saw that they were pretty much raw. I went into my pouch thing and pulled out my bandages wrapping my hands and re wrapping my legs. I sighed and pulled out my kunia searching for Sezert. I followed his trail and soon found him circling some trees. I smirked and threw four or five kunia at him. His ears perked up at the sound of the wind slicing and dodges or blacked the kunia before looking at me. I waved and jumped from my spot in the tree and landed beside him.
" So you ready to do some combination jutsu and what not." I said looking disinterestedly at my nails. I am going to have to paint them soon.
" Sure, do you have anything in mind?" I sat still for a moment. I did some hand signs and Athena's body appeared beside us. She wasn't there in person, but she was able to converse with us without going into my head, she was kind of see through to.
" Hello cubs how are you today?" She asked addressing Sezert and I. Sezert got into what looked like a bow.
" We are good, but we were wondering if you could help us out with a couple jutsu. I I mean we need help." I said standing up and wiping dirt off my butt.
" Well, why don't we start off with something simple, just combat on Sezert. You two against me."She spread her wings and went high into the sky a gleam appearing where her transparent body was located. Sezert and I shared an intense moment with each other, silently communicating. I ran over to Sezert's ready body and the moment I touched Sezert we took off.
The feeling of flying was nearly impossible to describe. The wind whipped my hair around my face making it difficult to see, I grabbed the hair tie off of my wrist and threw my hair into a sloppy bun. We reached the level in the sky Athena was at, we were equal with the sun. It was a amazing to say not that it even covers how amazing it feels to be able to see anything for miles, however it was short lived, because Athena attacked us. Her claws swiping dangerously close to face, I ducked and pulled out my pocket knife. I knew I wouldn't be able to reach her so I applied chakra to the blades lightning cracking in the distance. I laughed loving the pulse my blades gave as they swiped through the air.
" Alright Sezert, let's get this queen yeah!" He took of towards the gleam in the sky. I smiled, finally a challenge. I stood shakily on Sezert's broad back.
" Be careful you idiot! Don't fall!" I smirked and gained confidence standing in my battle stance, much like my boxing stance, right hand farther out than my left and level my face, my left lower about level with my breast. The blades pulsed in excitement. I smiled and swiped the knifes meeting Athena's claws that were worthy of steel. I ground my teeth together as we began out tango of battle. We were at if for about ten minute before my chakra started dimming, bring Athena out also means bringing out her chakra, so I was running on my own, and fighting with a jutsu that constantly takes my chakra.
" Athena, I'm getting tired." I said. She laughed.
" Of course you are, you are fighting with less than a quarter of the chakra you are use to, fight through it and win the fight, you aren't going to be able to quit in a real fight. Good job Sezert, you are able to balance Arianna and dodge my blows to you at the same time. Just for a little more encouragement if she falls and dies then I die as well so take care of my body." I shook my head at her conceitedness and pushed through my near chakra exhaustion. I pulsed the knives once more.
"Alright Sezert I am going to try something okay, when I tap my foot I want you to fly to the other side of Athena no matter what okay."
" I don't know what you are planning but you better not die." I tapped my foot before answering.
" Then catch me." My body flipped through the air aimed for Athena. She had a look of shock on her face as my blades hit her shoulders on each side sending electricity through her body. I flipped of of her and landed on Sezert.
" Very good cub. I am done now you have won." With that she disappeared and I felt her presents inside my body. Man I was tired.
" Hey Sezert, I was thinking, do you think I should get a sword of some sort? I mean it would work great with this jutsu, I could get a better range to, and maybe a chakra sword, because I'm afraid if I keep forcing it into my knives they will break.
"I see the logic in that it would make sense. I think you should get a sensi though, one with actually talent." My mouth dropped.
" Are you saying I don't have talent!" I screeched
" Yes, yes I am." I was about to reply but I shadow fell over Sezert and I. Who would be this high in the sky? I looked up and saw one of the Hokage's hawks flying above me.
" We have to go to the Hokage's office, but your wings back in, we are going to be free falling for a second. Ready," He nodded and started to pull his wings in as I focused chakra and thought of the Hokage's office. " Go!" We were free falling, but not in the sky through the sky through the oblivion you end up in before you land, or in our case fall into the Hokage's office. We landed with an omph.
" Ah, Ari chan not your most graceful landing." I smiled at the hokage.
" We didn't leave on the best circumstance did we Sezert."
" I am never listening to you again!" He roared. I rolled my eyes.
" At least we didn't die! Jeez you should trust me every once in a while!"
" Every time I do trust you, it's something that would probably get us killed! Like that stunt with Athena you could have fallen and DIED!" I looked at the hokage who looked confused. I smiled and waved my hand.
" Don't listen to the tiger he is delusional. Now you wanted to see me?" I asked avoiding the subject and glaring at Sezert.
" Of course, Ibiki has told me you wish to be part of the interrogation squad, well you start tomorrow Ibiki has seen to it that you are his personal apprentice, that is all you may go now." I looked at him, my mouth hanging agape. I stood in a stupor for at least two minutes.
" NO FUCKING WAY!!!! AHHH OH MY CHEESE AND FUCKING RICE!!! I CAN MAKE PEOPLE GO CRAZY!" I started dancing around the room, earning weirded out glance from Sezert and the Hokage. I stopped and blushed deeply.
" Uh, yea sorry about that! Um, this is so fricken cool, um but yea. May I ask a favor of you?" I asked sheepishly.
" You may."
" Well the thing is I kinda want to start working with swords, is there anyway you could find me a sword master that would be kind enough to teach me. Please?" I asked twiddling my thumbs looking extremely innocent.
" I will see what I can do. You meet Ibiki here tomorrow morning at 7 sharp understood?" I nodded. " Good dismissed." I smiled and hoped on Sezert popping into the ramon stand.
I looked around for my blonde rug rat but he wasn't there. "Hey Ayama have you seen Naruto around?" I asked calling to the teenage waitress. She looked over at me surprised.
" Um, no I haven't seen him since this morning, he came for breakfast with that creepy man from yesterday." I sighed and thanked her before Sezert walked away. I needed somebody to celebrate with. This sucks having great news but nobody share it with. I looked up from my sulking moment and saw Kakashi sensi walking out of the book store, ew such a pervert.
" Oi, Kakashi sensi I have great news!" I hopped off of Sezert glomping my sensi, sending both of us to the ground. The door of the store rang and I looked up and saw Sasuke walk out of the bookstore. Can you say awkward?
" Oh good you are here too! Guess what!" I yelled jumping off of sensi. He raised an eyebrow signaling me to continue. " I a job on the interrogation squad! I get to be Ibiki's apprentice and I start tomorrow! Come on we have to go celebrate." I grabbed both of their arms and pulled them to the closest bar.
" Why don't you and Naruto go celebrate I have training to do." Sasuke said. I stopped in my tracks my head hanging down and dropping my hands from their arms.
" Naruto is training and I don't know where he is. I think maybe he wants a break from me. He always seems so awkward around me." A tear rolled down my face and I furiously scrubbed it away.
" You know what I am not in the mood to celebrate. I will see you guys at the finals." I ran down the street leaving two very confused people in the street. I jumped to the roofs concealing my chakra and wiping the tears from my face. I laughed at the irony of crying instead of celebrating. They just had to bring Naruto up. Tears poured down my face as I gave up wiping them away and let them soak my shirt. I heard shuffling and looked over to see a very stotic looking Gaara.
" Why are you on my roof?" He asked. I laughed despite the tears rolling down my face. Some ninja I am, I'm sitting on a roof crying and I don't even know why.
" Really, I wasn't aware that you even had a house here. Oh wait you don't so I don't see how this is your roof." I laughed some more and his glare worsened. " you know what, I'm leaving anyway." I stood to my feet. " Oh and just so you know, if you attack the leaf, I won't hesitate to kill, you." I thought of home and left in a swirl of fire, not needing to even do the hand sign anymore. I landed on my bed and sighed. This is the worst celebration ever. I wish Saki was here or something.
I sat in silence and the sun casting an creepy glow over my room. I closed my eyes and thought about what Nicole and the other girls are doing right now. They are probably at a party, having fun. School is out by now. A ring of the door bell snapped my out of my depressed thoughts. I crawled out of bed and put on some slippers, my eyes are probably still red. I sighed again debating on whether or not I should just ignore the door.
" Hey Ari open the door! We know you are there we can sense your chakra." Sakura, what the hell? I went into the main hallway and looked at the door. " Come on and answer the door! Hinata can see you staring at it." I think I choked on the air. What the hell is going on here? I opened the door and saw that Sakura, Ino, Hinata and Ten-ten all stood at the door. Each holding a tub of ice cream, or chocolate.
" Um, can I ask why you are here caring food that I am about to mug you for?" I said leaning against the door blocking them from entering.
" Well, Sasuke told us you were upset and you had some good news and nobody to celebrate with so we all came." I smiled at them and shook my head.
" People here are a whole hell of a lot different from where I come from. Get your asses in here before I change my mind." I said leaning to the other side of the door allowing them to enter. I smiled again before closing the door after Ten-ten entered. They all sat down at the couch, everybody but Sakura looking weary of the tiger that was lying down underneath the coffee table.
" Oh hey Sezert I didn't know you were here. I said sitting in the recliner that aloud me to see everybody in the living room.
" Well maybe if you didn't run off leaving me with two idiots, and then pop into your room and lock your door and not come out. Then maybe you would know I was here." He said flicking his tail in with an attitude.
" You are such a baby, just for that I am so not making steak." I said.
" I don't need steak I have four perfectly fine meals in front of me." He said opened his eyes lazily and extending his claws. Ino started shaking against Hinata who buried her head in Ten-ten's shoulder and Ten-ten was gripping the couch. I looked at Sakura who rolled her eyes making me laugh.
" You okay Sezert you do that, Now somebody better say they have strawberry ice cream." I said dismissing the tiger who in return walked out of the room. The girls relaxed and Sakura laughed at them.
" Shut up billboard brow, I have never seen a fucking tiger with red stripes that could talk. Here is that ice cream Ari." I smiled as she threw the ice cream at me. I need a spoon. I went into the kitchen ignoring the insults and picked up five large spoons. I went into the living room and saw Sakura and Ino wrestling. I stepped over them and threw Ten-ten and Hinata spoons.
" So, what exactly are we celebrating. Ari-sama?" I looked at Hinata questioningly at the honorific. Sakura and Ino stopped fight and looked up at me waiting for my answer.
" Well, I got a job on the interrogation squad! I get to torture people!" I jumped up and got ready to dance before I saw the look on their faces, I sat back down.
" You guys don't look very happy." I said quietly bowing my head.
" No it isn't that I mean we are happy, it's just we are surprised. I mean the interrogation squad. Are you sure you want to do that, it is kinda weird." Ino said. I looked at her sharply.
" Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you with that fact that I am pretty much going to live out my dream." Sakura gulped and smiled.
" That's great onee. I am happy for you. You know you will be the youngest of age and rank when to actually be on the squad." I smiled and tackled Sakura into a hug.
" Thank you imouto! I am so glad you understand. Besides, now I can actually make some real money. I don't want to burden Saki anymore." I got off her and sat back down.
" So you guys all going to the finals?" I asked changing the subject.
" I am going with Lee. He is really excited. I am glad he still looks forward to it even though he isn't in it" I smiled.
" Lee is a good kid, he is one of the people I think about when I don't think I can do anymore. Him and Naruto." I whispered Naruto's name tears threating to fall. They all looked at each other.
" Hey how about we watch a movie." Hinata said quietly. I nodded my head and pulled out a few movies and they picked out obsessed.(a/n I am not promoting this movie in anyway, nor am I getting paid to say it. I just enjoy th movie.) Good movie I have seen it like 20 times. I fell asleep about halfway through the movie. Into another dreamless sleep. Well unless you count the random pictures of Naruto, that I wouldn't even have remembered in the morning.
