-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
My head swelled up with fear as I turned to face the two shinobis from before, along with that flirt!
"Ah, Kumohike." Zabuza smirked as he got ready to attack along with the strange boy, "You're just in time to watch us exterminate the pests…"
"Hi Kakashi-kun!" The flirt giggled and waved, making me break the last straw!
"Hey Sasuke…" I whispered to Sasuke, making him turn his attention to me. "Think you can handle Zabuza's crony without me?"
"You bet I can…" He smirked as he dashed at the kid and punched him to the other side of the bridge. I turned my attention back to the three shinobi, the blind one seemed to be the strongest and by what I remembered Kakashi-niisan said he's the 15th most wanted shinobi in the Anbu bingo book. According to Dad, people in the top ten of the Anbu book are those in an organization known as Akatsuki…all except the number one most wanted…Hikou Reichi, the deadliest shinobi known to man kind…some say he's long dead but others say his still out there. The next eight after the ten are known as the legendary ninjas that have done incredible things that make them complete threats to other countries, like Kakashi-niisan and his shaaringan.
"Who are you and what do you want!" I demanded as I walked towards them. I could hear Kakashi ordering me to come back just to get caught up into a fight with Zabuza. I wanted to help him…I really did…but something inside me was telling me that the truth was right in front of me. I must know now!
"Gees! Haven't you ever heard of manners?" The flirt mocked, making me flash step and kick her a few meters back. The blind one smirked as he and the other stepped aside to let the flirt dash at me, making hand seals at full speed.
"Kikkou shougekiha! Hexagonal shock wave" She shouted as she slammed her palms into my chest, making me slide back a few centimetres. "What the hell! You're supposed to be burnt to a crisp!"
"Riiight or it does nothing…" I joked as she began to grit her teeth in anger. I could hear Mar cheering in the background along with Kakashi-niisan kicking Zabuza's hide for the second time and the sound of senbon needles.
"Doesn't matter…this will teach you a lesson!" The girl shouted as she made more hand seals. "Raikou Kage Bushin No Jutsu! Lightning shadow clone technique" Soon I was surrounded by at least twelve clones, all of them grinning and smirking evilly at me. At first I was surprised that she could create Lightning clones like me, but I quickly shook it off and began my fun.
"Is that the best you can do?" I asked a bit bored of the flirt's attempts, as I made a few clones of my own. "Raikou Kage Bushin!" Quickly the clones attacked each other; kicking, punching, even shocking each other. I soon learned this girls name was Sara and her moves strangely had zero effects on me while mine got her hard. The fight was at a definite win for me when something no one expected happened…
"Well it seems you have gotten a lot stronger my dear…Kyosenai…" He whispered, making me stop dead in my tracks.
"How…do you know my name?" I asked really confused that a complete stranger knew who I was.
"I know a lot more about you then you think…" He chuckled as he began to walk a bit closer, making me back up a bit. "Your name is Kyosenai, you are thirteen years old and were abandon at the age of three in an alleyway, you were then found by an eight year old boy who is now Mr. Hatake Kakashi, you were adopted two weeks after you where found by Haisuke Hiroshima and Haisuke Yuna, and your biggest desire…is to know who you really are…"
"How the hell do you know all this!" I screamed at him. I wanted him to shut up, I wanted him to go away and leave me alone...I wanted this stalker to get out of my life!
"You insolent child…Is that the way you talk to the man who brought you into this world!" He hissed as he stopped a few meters away from me and removed his mask, making a new wave of terror and hate swallows me whole. "Is that how you treat…your father?" I felt frozen in place as the sound of metal clashed against each other in the background. His eyes were a dark green that was filled with cruelty and hate. The same dark green eyes he used to cut me down to size then beat me with his bare hands. I wanted to run away from here at full speed, I wanted to get away from him at all cost…but my legs weren't responding! "I bet they never even told you what you are…well let me do the honours…"
"Kim! Don't listen to him!" I heard a familiar annoying voice shout, making me turn my attention to the blond haired boy.
"Naruto!" Mar shouted with joy, as everyone turned their attention to him. "You came!"
"Of course I came! Do you think I would let you guys hog all the fun!" Naruto grinned, making the blind boy look his way."
"Uzumaki…Naruto…Kyuubi's vessel…" He whispered as he pulled out a kunai. "Your friend is trapped inside the ice mirrors…I recommend you go help him…"
With that Naruto took off towards the ice mirrors leaving Kumohike to his story…
"Now that that's settled…tell me Kyosenai? Are you familiar with the legend of Kumotama? Or as others call it…the Legend of Kyosenai?" Kumohike asked with a smug grin. "No? Then let me tell you…About a hundred years ago there was an evil dragon demon named Kumotama that destroyed all in its path in the village of the cloud. Many tried to stop it but no matter how hard they tried…this vile monster crushed them with its powerful claws…But then, when the sun fell on the last day of its fifty year rain he left an encryption on a huge stone in the village that read: After my century of imprisonment… on the eleventh day of the twelfth month when the moon is a new I shall return in the soul of the first born child. With that vessel I shall bring forth your demise and destruction…You Kyosenai…are the apocalypse! Everyone hates you! Even…Kakashi…"
"No…no…you're lying…you're a fricken liar!" I screamed as I turned my attention to everything. Mar was just as scared as I was…but not as shocked, the sound of senbon needles had died down…even Zabuza and Kakashi had stopped their fight to hear this story. That's when it came out…the words that proved it all… "Tell them Kakashi-niisan…tell them…please…"
Kakashi lowered his head in shame; making me collapse to my knees in tears…My whole life was a lie. A horrible lie someone made up to hide the truth of what I really was…a monster. At that moment I wanted to wake up…wake up from it all…I wanted to open my eyes to the sound of Kakashi banging pot lids together, trying to wake me up with that grin on his face…but I couldn't the pain was too real to be a dream…I hung my head in despair feeling my heart being torn apart then suddenly…I couldn't breath. My lungs where being crushed by something, I looked forward to see Kumotama smirking at me as he squeezed harder on my throat.
"Kumohike-sensei stop!" I heard a faint voice scream. "We were suppose to bring Kumotama back not kill him!"
"Shut up Sara" I heard another voice hiss, followed by a slapping noise. "We must finish him off!"
I knew it was the end for me, since Kumohike's hand just seemed to get tighter around my neck and out of the corner of my eye I could see a kunai coming towards us, aiming for one of the muscles in my neck…
Good bye…cruel life…I thought as everything became blurry, when suddenly…I was coughing my lungs out as the air returned to them. I could also feel someone holding me tight as if they never wanted to let me go. It was then I realized who it was. "Kakashi-sensei? But I thought- I thought you hated me…"
"I never hated you Kim…but back then I was too stupid to realize what I had…back then…I thought everyone wanted something from me, that they only liked me for what I was…I hated everyone…but I couldn't let that hate out on anyone…but…when I saw you in that alleyway all alone with no one to help you… I thought 'She must have it worse then I do…' I found a way to let my hate out on someone…but all you ever wanted was to see me happy…I let it out on the only person I cared about…" He whispered as he held me tighter, making tears begin to swell in my eyes. "I'm sorry…if I ever made you think I hated you…"
I looked up and hugged Kakashi since I could never hate him. Not even when I was growing up did I yell at him or scream "I hate you" because I cared about him too much. Even when he would hit me by accident, I would just give him a smile and hug him. It was then I realized when he hugged me back that there was something warm running down his back. I traced it up his vest to about 6 kunais in his back, all of them dripping blood…he had taken that hit for me.
"KAKASHI YOU'RE MINE NOW!" Zabuza Shouted as he ran full speed at us with his sword ready to cut. I couldn't just stand there and watch Kakashi get hurt! I had to do something! It was then I realized he was that special someone I wanted to protect…Even if it kills me!
Kakashi's Point Of View
There was a vast silence on the field as everyone watched in shock, even Zabuza who committed the crime was in shock… for his sword had cut her at a complete angle from the shoulder to the heart…
"Hehehe looks like your weapon wasn't good for anything but a shield…" Kumohike laughed as Zabuza kicked her off his sword and onto the ground. Swiftly I grabbed her and jumped back away from Zabuza's swinging sword. I could feel a whole bunch of mixed emotions inside of me; Sorrow, hate towards Zabuza, but most of all…pain. I could feel my heart being crushed by just looking at her…Knowing that I couldn't do anything to save her. I placed my hand over her painful eyes, shutting them close for the last time...
"Why…Kumohike-sensei?" I could hear his student sob as I walked towards Mar. "Why did you kill your own child!"
"Don't you dare call that monster my child!" Kumohike shouted as he slapped her across the face while I kissed Kim on the forehead one last time before placing her gently on the ground next to Mar.
"Zabuza!" I shouted in a deadly tone as I got up and faced him. "My mission no longer concerns me…This fight is personal…"
Mar's Point of View
I kneeled down next to Kim and began to stroke her hair. She looked so peaceful. "You want to know something Tasuna-san? When I was a kid…I only had one friend…and that was Sasuke…but Sasuke was always too busy hanging out with his brother then hanging with me…So I was always alone with no one to talk to…Every girl in Konoha hated my guts because I was friends with Sasuke…So I was considered a loner…It came to a point where I didn't even want to go to school because I was scared everyone would glare at me…I was so alone…But…then one day in the first grade, around November I met Kim…She was more scared then I was of school and she was new there…I was so happy when she smiled at me and told me that everything was ok…and even though she was the top student…" I went on as my voice began to crack up and tears began to form in my eyes. "She would always finish her things first and help me with things I didn't understand till I understood them clearly…even one time when I fell asleep during Kakashi-sensei's genjutsu lecture…she sat in DT with me writing eight hundred words…I had to write "I will not let my guard down on a genjutsu…" and she had to write… "I will not test genjutsus on my fellow class mates."…But not once did I tell her how much her friendship meant to me! Kim I'm so sorry!" I cried as I began to bawl on her chest. I wanted more then anything to see her smile one last time…to hear her tell me everything was gonna be ok…but now she was gone…and I'm never gonna see her again!
? Point of View (?)
I looked up into the clear blue sky above me…like a vast ocean that had seemed to move to the heavens. The grass felt like a cushion of flowers that swayed in the wind…then I wondered… "Where am I? The last thing I remembered was…protecting Kakashi from Zabuza's slash…" Then it all hit me like a huge sack of bricks, I'm dead! "Ok ok calm down Kim this has to all be a dream…" I told myself over and over again but as far as I could see there was nothing but a flowery field and the endless blue sky above it.
My first notion was to yell out to see if anyone was there but all I got was the wind blowing through the field and my hair… "I want to see Mom and Dad…" I whispered to myself as I could feel tears swelling in my eyes. I hated being alone. I couldn't stand it at all… "I want to see Mar, Naruto and Sasuke…I want to see Kakashi-oniisan again…"
"Aw don't cry chu" A babyish voice said, making me look up to see a little creature no bigger then a piece of paper. It had long black ears with little things on the tip of them like upside down tear drops (three on each ear). His head was kinda like a spongy oval with big emerald eyes and a black crescent moon on his forehead. His wore a red collar with a big cat bell on it and his body was kinda like a bunny's but his tail was like a stubby black lizard tail with the same three upside down pattern. His stomach, feet and his tiny dragon like wings where black while the rest of him was white. "Everything will be fine chu!"
"W-who are you?" I asked a bit stunned at the talking creature that kinda reminded me of a super cute plushie that had no mouth. "And where am I?"
"I am the Great Kumotama! And this is Purgatory chu!" The little creature jumped with joy. Making me freak out completely inside. This little guy was the demon that destroyed Kumogakure centuries ago? Man those people of the Cloud reeeaaally where over reactive scaredy cats…
"You're Kumotama! THE Kumtama! As in the demonic being that crushed the Cloud to pieces!" I asked really shocked. "But your so…"
The little Dragon cut off, "Diminutive? Meagre? Microscopic? Minuscule? Pitiful? Puny? Runty? Shrimpy? Feeble? Doltish? Retarded? Simple? Gro-"
"CUTE!" I squealed as I huggled the fluffy miniature beast, there was no way that cute little guy could be a monster.
"Whoa, I didn't expect that to happen. Chu." The little dragon purred as he looked up at me a bit teary. "I'm so sorry! It's all my fault! Chuuu!"
"Hey don't cry, what done is done…" I whispered to the little creature as I gently pet him. "Even if I where able to find a way to get rid of you it would be pointless since nothing will be able to make me return to earth…"
"You see…it was a misunderstanding…" The little dragon mumbled as I looked down on him. "When the world first started…when the nine demons of the earth still walked the earth…seven guardian dragons protected the small villages from them…their names from weakest to strongest where: Kaijin Dragon of Ashes, Mizu Dragon of Waters, Tsuchi Dragon of Nature, my brother…Hagane Dragon of Darkness and War, Kasai Dragon of Flames, Kaze Dragon of Winds and myself Kumotama Dragon of Storms and Light. But as time passed we where no longer needed so the villages sealed us up in masks and hide us…all but me…Because the Cloud was such a troubled Nation I got to stay and protect them for a price…I would only have a fifty year life span and return after a century…but 114 years ago your ancestor found away for me to live longer. By taking over a new born child on my next return I could live as long as the vessel, I was pleased with this idea so I favoured him by saying I would use his descendent as my vessel. When the time came where they found out who the vessel was gonna be…you're father Kumohike was furious…So he spread a lie through his brother the Raikage that I was a demonic force that crushed all in my path…and because of that…you were hated for no apparent reason…I'm sorry…Chu."
I couldn't believe it…all that pain I had to suffer was for no reason…but I didn't feel full of anger or hate but just surprise and a relief that filled me. "Don't be sorry Kumotama" I smiled as I wiped his big eyes. "I'm actually kind happy that this misunderstanding happened. Because if it weren't for that incident, I would never have met Hiroshima and his wife Yuna, Rin, Obito, the forth, Mar, Naruto, Sasuke,…Kakashi-niisan…or even you. If it weren't for all of you…I would still be stuck in that alleyway, alone and confused. And if you ask me…I'm would rather die now knowing I grew up with such great friends then keep living with the thought that something was missing in my life."
I'm not entirely sure what it was I said but as soon as I said it Kumotama began to cry again but this time he actually hugged me back.
"I'm so happy someone as kind as you where chosen as my vessel! Chu!" Kumotama cried as I pat his fluffy little head. "Oh and by the way this isn't how you die. Chu."
"What…" I asked a bit dumbfound.
"I saved all your internal and minor organs when Zabuza slashed you. Chu." The little dragon grinned. "And I also closed your wound before you bled to death."
"Then you mean I can go back home!" I asked with a lot of hope in my voice.
"Yup!" he grinned as I hugged him again with joy. "But you'll be completely drained of your chakra…chu"
"Oh…" I mumbled as I stopped. Then an idea came to me. "Wait! What if you took over my body till the fight was over?"
"Hmm…that could work!" Kumotama cheered. "If you don't mind me beating the living day lights out of Kumohike and his students. Chu."
"Be my guest" I told him, making him dance around a bit. He was just so cute!
We where about to go back to the real world when a little rabbit hopped on Kumotama and began bawling its eyes out. "PWEASE CWOUDO-CHAN DON'T GOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"But Yama-chan I gotta go back with my vessel Kimmi-chan to save her loved ones! Chu!" The little dragon cried as he pushed the spazing bunny off of him.
"Awwwww…" The bunny cried as it hugged Kumotama again. "But someone wants to speak with her before you weave!"
"Me?" I asked a bit confused. "Who?"
"Him!" The little rabbit answered as Zabuza's partner should up, making me stand my ground. "He has something to say to you! Right Haku?"
Haku? As in the kid me and Naruto met in the forest Haku? I thought to myself as he removed his mask to show me I was right.
"I'm sorry for all the trouble we caused you…" Haku whispered as he bowed down in apology.
"It's ok" I smiled as he looked up at me. "Some things are not in our control and some are. So don't worry about it ok?"
"Hazzah Cwoudo-chan!" Yama cried. "Your vessew is so kind!"
This made Haku smile, but I kinda giggled a bit at that comment. Haku then spoke up. "Maybe if we would have met somewhere else…we could have become friends."
"You're already my friend Haku" I smiled as I gave him a hug. "And I hope that person you find special to you finds you again."
"Like wise" He smiled as I let go. Soon we said our good byes and were off!
3rd Person Point of View
Mar was breaking up inside when she found out Sasuke was dead too as Naruto seemed to have gone berserk and began to attack Kumohike and the blind kid. Sara sat next to Mar and Tasuna, trying to find a way to bring Kim back…but nothing was working.
"I'm so sorry…" Sara whispered as she looked down. "If only I knew what David and Kumohike-sensei where up to I could have stopped all of it…now it's too late…"
"Zabuza I'll kill you!" Kakashi shouted in the background as he ran at the ninja full speed with Raikiri in hand.
"David now is our chance!" Kumohike shouted while David shot Naruto into a genjutsu. "Now is our chance…to kill them all!"
Kumohike ran full speed at where Mar, Sara and Tasuna were. Making Mar freeze in fear. By the time Kakashi was able to get away from Zabuza it was too late…Kumohike had already reached them…
"KIM!" Mar screamed as loud as she could out of fear of dieing as she waited for that devastating blow.
"ASHIGE KUDAKU! Smash Kick" A voice shouted, sending Kumohike flying fifty feet in to the air.
Everyone looked in shock as the watched a familiar figure lower its leg and speak. "Are you guys ok?" It said in a bit of a deep voice as if the voice of a young man. Mar began to cry tears of joy when she finally realized who this figure was. Making get up and hug it.
"Kim…you're ok!" She cried as her friend smiled at her, but this smile wasn't the same smile Mar was so use to. It was a bit childish in a way but still serious. "I'm so happy you're ok…"
"I'm not Kim…" The figure said with the same smile, making Mar look at her. "Kim's resting right now. But don't worry she'll be ok."
"Kumtama-senpai?" Sara asked in shock as she kneeled in front of the figure. He looked like Kim but his eyes were a cool emerald and his voice was childish yet serious like his smile. "It's an honour to finally meet the great Kumotama."
"You're a very good person Sara-chan." Kumo said as he made her get up. "David-san could learn a lot from you."
"K-Kumotama…" Kumohike gasped in fear as he got up. "B-but how!"
"Don't ever judge a demon vessel Kumohike…now I'll punish you for your deeds of hate towards your own child…" Kumo hissed as he began to run at Kumohike, just to get stopped by David.
"Kumotama…we meet at last." David smirks as he blocked Kumo. "Now fight me…"
"Ryomasa David…you're the main reason I was brought to this world…" Kumo hissed as he glared at the blind young man.
"So you know huh?" David laughed as he pushed away from Kumo. "You can't win Kumotama…the age of your body decides how mush power you have! At the age of 1-7 you have as much strength as a new born…at the age of 8-10 an infant and right now you have the power of a toddler. Your vessel would have to be twenty to kill me!"
"Is that so…" Kumo smirked as he began to make hand seals at an alarming speed. "If that's the case…then we'll have to change it won't we?"
Kumohike watched in fear as Kumo placed his hands on the ground, making a huge green circle with the symbol of a crescent moon inside a sun was formed.
"KUROKKU KIRE Broken Clocks" Kumo shouted as the green light surrounded the whole square meter. Within it the wood became older and grew little specks of grass. But that wasn't all that it did. When the light vanished the vessel known as Kyosenai stood no more. Instead a young woman with flowing brown hair in her early twenties stood in her place. Everyone watched in shock as the girl stepped forward and smirked at him as she cracked her knuckles.
"Who are you and what did you do to Kumotama!" David demanded as he stepped back from the woman.
"Bakaro…" She mumbled in a deep voice. "I am Kumotama!"
"Impossible! He used the time placement jutsu!" Kumohike shouted in fear as Kumo ran at David full speed, ready to kill him.
"Time placement?" Mar asked really confused as Sara cheered Kumotama on. "What's that?"
"The time placement jutsu is when the user increases or decreases the time around them using chakra. It's a very high level jutsu that not even the Kages can master!"
"David we must get out of here!" Kumohike shouted as David flew into the ground. "Or else that monster will kill us both!"
"Who are you calling a monster?" Kumo hissed as he kicked Kumotama into the air.
"We'll meet again…Kumotama…." David whispered as he grabbed Kumohike and vanished in a puff of smoke.
Kakashi's point of view
The fight was almost over when Gatou showed up will all his men, ready to kill all of us.
"Zabuza you're no longer needed…" Gatou laughed as he stepped on Haku. Naruto began shouting at Zabuza about how Haku was his friend. I didn't even want to hear him…But it seemed he got through to him, making him grab a kunai in his mouth and run through Gatou's men cutting them with the kunai till he reached Gatou himself. Swiftly Zabuza cut Gatou's head off, making roll through his men.
"You bastard! You killed our only source of cash!" One of the men shouted as they where about to attack again when the people of the village showed up with everything they had, just to protect the village.
"Inari!" Naruto shouted as the little boy waved back to him. Naruto then smirked as he made an army of clones, giving me the idea that I might as well join in.
"Kage Bushin no jutsu…" I mumbled as I created a few clones, whish was enough to scare Gatou's men off.
"Kakashi…" Zabuza mumbled as I walked up to him. "please…take me to him…"
I didn't say anything, just place my forehead protector over my left eye and remove all the weapons and such…I picked him up and took him to where Haku was resting, placing him next to him…
"If only I could go to the place you are…" Zabuza whispered to his dear friend as he closed his eyes. To tell you the truth…I felt jealous of Zabuza…if only I could see her one last time…
"Kakashi-sensei! You won't believe it!" Mar shouted with joy as this brown haired woman walked up to me along with her. "Kim's alive!"
"What…" I asked completely shocked. "Where is she?"
"Yeah! You should have seen it Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto shouted. "Kim kicked Kumohike really really high into the air then she ran at him but that blind dude got in the way so she used this strange jutsu and became older and kicked his ass!"
And then it hit me…the brown haired woman was… "Kim?" I asked really shocked.
"Yes and no" She said, making me really confused. "Kim's resting right now. So I better get going."
"So…you must be Kumotama then." I assumed, since this person's eyes were not the same hazel eyes I remember and the voice was a bit different.
"Correct, but you can call me Cloud. Kai!" She said as she was surrounded by a puff of smoke, making the child I remember fall into my arms. Fast asleep.
"Is that Kim? Or Kumotama?" Sara asked a bit confused.
"Kakashi-niisan… that tickles…" the brown haired girl mumbled in her sleep, making a smile come to face. I couldn't describe how happy it made me to see that peaceful sleeping face again.
"Sasuke-kun is awake! Yay!" Sara squealed as he sat up to see what was going on.
"Sasuke you're ok!" Mar shouted as she hugged him, "I thought I lost you too!"
"What the hell are you talking about Mar?" Sasuke mumbled as he began to remember what happened. "Where's Kim? Is she ok?"
"Shhhh" I shushed him as I got Kim on my back.
I could feel this feeling inside of me, a feeling that I just kept ignoring till now…love her…not like how a brother loves his sister…or how a friend loves another friend…but that kind of love you show to someone you want to spend the rest of your life with…But…how could I possibly tell her? If I tell her I wouldn't just destroy that relationship of brother and sister…I might lose her too…
Kim's Point of View
I woke up to find myself in Tasuna's house again covered in bandages…Could it have been a dream? I looked up to see Kakashi-oniisan sleeping next to me with his arm over me while covered in bandages too. Dream or not I was happy to see him. I didn't want to disturb his sleep so I just leaned my head against him. All I ever wanted was to see Kakashi-niisan happy…even if it meant…I was completely out of the picture…Forever…
