Warning: Swearing! Sexual...things.

QUESTIAN: Are M-rated FF really been taken off?! I need to know!

Mika .P.O.V.

Well I was on a bridge. A loud, noisy, annoying bridge.

I was having that calming affect, and my senses were keener. This seemed to happen every time I was around water. But I didn't care why it happened. Only that my ears were going to start to bleed soon because of all the noise. And I could sense emotion again. So that sucked. Because there were so many people. And it was flooding my senses.

I had grabbed my dark gray messenger bag, while Sakura had brought her badge too. And she was watching mine because I had decided to help.

And I'm now moving large metal things. Kinda like polls but square. I didn't bother to ask the name.

I had pushed chakra into my arms so they were stronger, but my legs were started to hurt a bit.

I was hauling another across the bridge when Tazuna stopped in front of my. I almost bumped into him but stopped myself just in time.

"You always this lazy?" I heard Tazuna say to Sakura.

She looked a little taken back by the comment.

"Where's the weird blond kid, and the one with the attitude?" Tazuna asked as he started to walk again. I followed.

"They're training. Climbing tree's." Sakura could have worded that better.

"To tough for you?" He asked, and I could hear the mocking undertone.

"No, in fact I'm the best. That's why sensai sent me hear to guard you." I glared. I don't mind her flaunting. But I hate it when people lie. I can't stand it. It always made me mad for some reason.

"Actually I'm the best. But Sakura was better then the others." I said as I past Tazuna and finally set the metal thing down.

I stretched a little, and walked behind Tazuna who was now also setting the metal thing he was carrying down.

I went over and sat beside Sakura, on the railing.

A man walked up to Tazuna.

"Tazuna, uh, I need to talk to you."He said.

"Huh. What about?" Tazuna said back.

"Uh, the thing is, I've been thinking a lot about the bridge. And I decided, I've pushed my luck far enough, I want out."

"Now you're going to quit on my just like that. You're kidding!" Tazuna yelled.

"You know. I stayed on because of our friendship. But I'm putting my life on the line every day I stay hear. Gato and his thugs with show up eventually. When they do, they will kill you and the bridge will never be finished. It's a lost cause Tazuna. Why don't we stop now, when we can still come out of this alive." The man said.

"No chance. This is our bridge. Our island is poor. And it will stay that way until this bridge connects us to the main land. Comers, trade and hope, that's what we're building here."

"There's not going to be much hope if we're all died."

"It's already noon. Lets break for lunch." Said Tazuna as he walked away.

"Tazuna, lets not end it like this." The man called after him.

Tazuna stops and turned slightly.

"Save your breath. Oh, and Geichi, don't bother coming back after lunch." He said and continued walking away.

I sighed. I didn't under stand human emotion very well. I guess it's because I'm apathetic. But I think Naruto might have changed something in me. Because I almost fell bad for Tazuna.


Well the sun was now setting and Tazuna was taking Sakura and I into the village, my bag over my left shoulder. There were people everywhere. And I was never one for crowds. So I was really uncomfortable.

"Were are we going?" Asked Sakura.

"You want to eat tonight don't you. I got to pick up some things for dinner." Tazuna replied.

I say a man walked by with a sign saying he would do anything for work. And a boy run away with stolen goods. And some homeless children. I cringed at that. I know what it fells like to have nothing to go back to.

"Here we are." Said Tazuna as he lead us into an almost completely empty store.

A man for inside gave us a weak welcome.

I felt someone come up behind us. And the next thing I know Sakura was kinking him and screaming pervert. I sighed. He obviously had been after her bag.

After Tazuna had gotten everything. Which wasn't much. He lead us out of the store.


I sighed as we walked back through the town the Tazina's house. I then felt a presence behind me. And a hand pull at the back of my top. I turned to see a sweet little kid. With shaggy brown hair and innocent blue eyes. And he was dressed in dirty cloths.

"Please." He said in a hoarse voice. He reached his arms up into a little cup.

I felt something stir inside me. And reached into my bag. And pulled out my favorite large strawberry candies. You could suck on them for an hour until they were fully gone.

I handed him five. And he gave me a large smile that reminder me of Naruto as he thanked me and ran away.

Something in my chest hurt, thinking of Naruto alone and on the streets. I never want Naruto to be alone.

"This is how it's been since Gato came here. The children suffer, and the adults are afraid the stand up to him. They've lost all hope. That's why we have to finish the bridge. It will bring comers, and trade. But much more importantly that bridge is a symbol of courage. We must restore the spirit of our people. When the bridge is finished, people will start to believe again. They'll believe that they can live with dignity. We can't let Gato stop us." Tazuna finished and we continued.

"Hey. I'm going to go ahead." I said. And raced off.


Once I made it to the forest I jumped for tree to tree silently, and made it to the clearing. I actually wanted to see Naruto. I was worried. Or at least I think you could call the emotion I'm felling worried.

I looked at the clearing. Sasuke and Naruto were running low on chakra. I sighed about to jump down when Naruto got his concentrating face on. And yes he does have one.

I saw chakra build in his feet and I smiled. And as he was about to run at the tree, Sasuke called his name. And he fell.

I stifled a laughed.

"Ah, Sasuke. What are you doing. I was trying to focus my chakra." Naruto yelled and he sat up.

"Well, uh, you know, the thing is."

"Uh. The thing is what." Naruto said while crossing his arms.

"You, you know, you asked Mika for advice when she was here, so what did she tell you." Sasuke said.

And Naruto's eyes widened. And he smiled his large goofy smile.. Poor Sasuke.

"I'm not telling you." Naruto said bluntly and I almost laughed. That was Naruto for you.

Well I got bored and moved. And Sasuke's head snapped into my direction. I raised a finger to my lips, and winked. He looked confused, and I smiled before jumping away. I inwardly laughed at Sasuke's expression. And then face palmed that Naruto didn't notice me. But he was Naruto. So, it guess I should have been expecting it.

I jumped onto a tall tree and climbed to the top.

The moon was high in the sky now, and it was almost full. I smiled. I loved the full moon. My father told me it was because it was when the layer between Hell and Earth was blurry, and at it's weakest. I always felt stronger, and more complete during a full moon.

I sat on the highest branch and closed my eyes. Savoring the moons light. I felt like the air was pulsing. I felt the tree pulse under me.

My breath was knocked out of me. I opened my eyes in a a flash. I could still fell the tree against my skin. And my legs still dangled. But I wasn't in the forest. I was in a large stone room. With silks in a rainbow or colors. The room was shrouded in shadows. So I could only make out the shiny pinks, yellows, and lime greens.

I heard the groaning of a large wooden door opening behind me and I turned. Careful to only move the top of my body. Because I was pretty sure I was still in the tree, and was somehow seeing this. No need to over think though.

I couldn't really see but I could make out a figure coming through the door. I shrived as a cold wind wiped at me. I was most definitely still in the tree. But were was I. It wasn't a Genjutsu. I know that. Was I in Hell. This place felt familiar. So maybe.

"Yo, get up. You have to see Lucifer. Now." Came a male voice. I know I've heard it before.

"Fuck off. I don't give a damn. I'm to god damn tired." Came the familiar female voice.

"Now now. Language. You're always this way in the morning."

"So. Go get laid and leave me alone."

"That's enough. You are going to get up."

"No way in Heaven, you bastard."

"I get you want to sleep but be mature. You do want to rule Hell one day right."

"So, once I rule Hell I'll be able to do whatever I want. I'm practicing. So leave."

The man laughed. And I heard a scream, and a loud crash, then some growling, and more crashing.

"Fuck off. I want to sleep. And you know I can kick your ass." Came the female voice.

"So. I don't want Lucifer to be mad at me. So I have do to this."

"Sure. You're so enjoying this. You-" I heard a large growl.

And the next thing I know, the man was dragging something behind him as he walked to the door. I still couldn't see him, but I'm pretty sure he was dragging a sack after him.

I heard muffles swearing. The man laughed again.

"You may be Lucifer's child, but I am 16,000 years older then you. What did you expect." He said as he opened the door.

I heard more muffles yelling and smiled. It finally clicked. They were the people that had helped me.

And I closed my eyes as I heard the door slam shut as the two left.

I waited a bit and opened my eyes again, and to my luck I was back. The moon looked down at me, and I stared at it. I loved nighttime more then daytime. I felt more at home in the dark.

I sighed as I hopped off the tree and landed silently on the ground far below.

I starred back for the house. My feet padding silently on the dirt.

I walked through the now empty clearing were Naruto and Sasuke had been awhile ago. And continued on.

I took out a cherry lollypop from the bottom of my bag. I hadn't even know I had it. I plopped it in my mouth and enjoyed the flavor.

I finally made it to the house and smelt something good. Not as good as cake and a lot of junk food, but still good after a tiring day.

I walked through the door to see Miss. Daughter setting the table. I really need to learn her name. I saw Naruto sitting, half asleep at the table. And the rest of my team weren't in sight.

I slowly walked to Kakashi's room to tell him dinner was ready and he should come out.

"Kakashi, dinner, come on." I said as I stopped at his door. I then turned to leave, not checking to see if he got up.

I sat at the head, with Naruto at my left, and Kakashi sat beside him. And Sasuke sat to my right, with Sakura, and then that little kid. And lastly Tazuna at the other head.

Well, Naruto and Sasuke started to eat really fast, while I only nibbled, I wasn't used to eating this kind of food, and it kinda made my stomach queasy. I pushed the food away. And Naruto grabbed my plate. Same old Naruto.

Miss. Daughter then walked over to the kitchen and set a piece of cake in front of me.

"I noticed you didn't like the food, and with the way you were eating the piece of cake earlier I though you might like this." She said.

I smiled and picked up my forked, eating the food with earnest. And then Naruto and Sasuke stood up and raised there plates.

"I want some more." They called. Then they started to glare at each other. They they sat down and the two leaned over and started to throw up. I sighed and patted Naruto back twice before continuing with my cake. What. I wasn't completely heartless.

Sakura got a tick mark on her head. (A.N That little red mark they get when they're angry. I heard a lot of different names so I don't know which to use, if you know the real name, please tell me!)

"Don't eat so much if you're going to puke it up." Yelled Sakura.

" I have to eat." Said Sasuke.

"And I have to eat more then him. It's the only possible way I'll get strong enough to bet him." Replied Naruto.

"That's true but puking won't help you." Said Kakashi.

I really didn't understand the need to be better then someone else. Why couldn't everyone be as good as they could. And not compete. But I guess it wasn't up to me.

Well not soon after I finished my cake, and Sasuke and Naruto slowed down with their eating. After Miss. Daughter took the plates, she brought over glasses and what I think is tea. Personally I like juice better. I know it seems childish, but I enjoy the flavors. It's a little like drinking cake. But I politely drank my tea.

Naruto chugged his, while Sakura stood and did something. I didn't care what.

"Excuse me this picture is torn is there some reason for that? Inari you kept glancing at that all through dinner. It looks like there was someone else in the picture and they got torn out. I mean that's kinda strange isn't it?" Asked Sakura.

And I felt the little kids emotions spiral into a frenzy of sadness and loneliness. And I almost got mad at the kid. He had a home, a place to go back to, and a family, he had no right to fell lonely, I lost everything, my family, friends, and my whole village was burned to the ground. Well from what I heard. But I known human emotions didn't work on logic.

I was mad at Sakura though. She had no right to pry into others lives. But there's nothing we can do now.

"It's my husband." Said Miss. Daughter. I still need to learn her name.

"They used to call him a hero in this land." Said Tazuna. And I say the little kid get off his chair and leave.

"Inari where are you going?" Called Miss. Daughter as she turned and walked to the door.

"Father you can't talk about him like that in front for Inari you know that." She yelled at Tazuna as she also left.

I sighed. People were so over dramatic. But I guess, if he died, which he probably did, it's understandable. When you lose someone it hurts.

The room when silent.

Until of course Sakura broke it.

"Inari's so. I mean what happened to him?" She asked.

"Hmm. Is there a story behind this?" Asked Kakashi.

"He wasn't his real father. He came into our family later. And he brought so much happiness. He and Inari were very close. In those days Inari used to laugh all the time. But then," He got angrier, and sadder as he went on. And he started to cry. "All that ended. He never laughs or smiles anymore. Ever since the day everything changed. The word courage was stolen from this island. We were left felling powerless, hopeless, and Inari suffered the most. Ever since that day ever since it happened."

"Tell us, what happened to Inari?" Said Kakashi.

"First you need to know about the man, his father. The man who taught us the work courage." Tazuna said. I was felling slightly uncomfortable now, I was never good around other people, and I never know what to do when they were crying.

"He was a hero in this land." Tazuna said.

"A hero really?" Asked Naruto.

"You can decide that for yourself. He came here about three years ago." He went on to tell us about when Inari was going to drowned. And how this man saved him.

"His name was Kaiza, a simple fisherman who'd come here from another land to follow his dreams. After that Inari and Kaiza were inseparable. The boy had never known his real father, so you know what it meant for him to have Kaiza. He looked up to him and followed in his footsteps like a real father and son. Kaiza spent more and more time with us until he naturally became a member of our family. And then when this town needed him, he became something more." Tazuna said.

He then told us about a really bad flood and how Kaiza had saved them all.

"From that time on Kaiza was considered a hero in this land. He taught us all the meaning of courage and Inari was so proud to be his son. But it wasn't long after, that Gato showed up, and took over. He terrorized the whole village. Only Kaiza stood up to him. Gato couldn't have a local hero getting in his way. It took his whole gang to stop one man."

He told us what happened to him. And I felt anger. At both Inari and Gato. Gato for being a cruel bastard. And Inari for blaming Kaiza. Every person has there limits. And Inari blamed Kaiza for something that wasn't his fault. Some people have to fail so others can win. That's how it is.

"Since then Inari's changed. So did Tsunami and all our people. We lost our will."

Pitiable. You only lost your will, because you people were afraid to have it. You admitted defeat. I sighed softly.

Naruto tried to stand up, but he fell. Silly boy.

"What are you doing down there Naruto?" Asked Sakura.

"You better take the day off. No more training. You've used to much chakra. If you push any harder it could kill you." Said Kakashi.

"I'm gonna prove it." He said.

"Hmm?" Muttered Tazuna.

"Prove what?" Asked Sakura.

Naruto pulled himself to his feet, somewhat shakily though.

"I'll prove that it's true. That in this world, there are real hero's." Naruto said. He looked determined to. I smiled. Now this was Naruto.

Emi: Ya I finished. I'm sorry if it's late. I was to tired to read over it yesterday. But it's up now. YAAAAAAAAAAAY. And I don't own Naruto only my OC's. Just sayin.

Mika: Anyway. I'm more exited for when this is all over and I can go home. I want my unlimited cake back.

Emi: Well I'm excited for the battle with Zabuza next. I've been looking forward to this part since I started writing. But you can't know why.

Review = You find out why I am so excited for the fight. ( I know you want to know. )
