crazy-antman: Indeed he does ) Prolly due to the fact that Kayoko and Itachi often have discussions with eachother, neh XP?
Now on with the story
Chapter 14:
"It's his fault that they found us!" Kayoko yelled.
"If it wasn't for him you would have been dead!" Itachi yelled back at her.
"I could handle it myself!"
"You just don't like the fact that he saved you!"
"Your right, I don't! But thanks to him more ANBU will be on the way!" Kayoko and Itachi continued argueing and exchanging glares. Dorimaru sighed and looked at his now human arm that was wrapped in bandages. It had been a week since the three of them left Hidden Mist and Dorimaru had mastered Henge no Jutsu. Itachi was planning on learning him more basic combat skills but today they were engaged in combat with an ANBU squad.
"The ANBU managed to escape, but not without first trying to do us some damage..." Dorimaru thought as he stretched his fingers.
---------A couple of hours ago---------
Dorimaru was walking trough the forest and unknown to him, there were a few others watching him. He wasn't used yet to a human body but he was able to quickly learn how to run and walk without falling down. Itachi told Dorimaru to go and find some apples while he went fishing and Kayoko would be gathering wood.
"I guess I could see it as training...Climbing tree's isn't something I'm used to..." Dorimaru said to himself.
"Then again there is another way." Dorimaru said smirking as he looked at the apple tree in front of him. He returned to his normal falcon form and flew up into tree. There he transformed into his human form again and looked out of the tree.
"Hmph...Humans might fight better but we falcons sure have it better when it comes to getting into high places." Dorimaru said smiling to himself. Dorimaru then quickly gathered the apples and headed back to camp.
"Oi, Itachi! I'm back with the apples." Dorimaru yelled. Right on that moment the four ANBU members attacked Dorimaru.
"Katon: Goukakyou no Jutsu!" Kayoko exhaled her fireball and hit the ANBU members right before they could hit Dorimaru.
"Stupid bird! Didn't you even notice their presence!" Kayoko yelled.
"They are shinobi, you know! It's not like they should be easy to find!" Dorimaru yelled back at her. His eyes then widened and he jumped towards Kayoko. As he knocked her down, 3 kunai's landed in Dorimaru's arm.
"Geez, thanks for playing the human shield, but now it's my time to shine." Kayoko said as she swiftly jumped back up. Just then more kunai's flew towards her and as she got hit, smoke surrounded her, leaving only a log behind.
"Katon: Karyuu Endan!" Kayoko unleashed her most powerful Katon jutsu. Dorimaru could see the ANBU race towards him.
"Oi, They're coming this way!" Dorimaru yelled to Kayoko. Just then Itachi dropped in front of him.
"It's me you four want, huh? Then come and get me..." Itachi said and activated his Mangekyou Sharingan to knock the ANBU back. Again the ANBU left only logs behind and were now out of sight.
-------End of Flashback-------
The ANBU were nowhere near in the area since Itachi appeared and ever since they found out they had left, Kayoko and Itachi were argueing.
"That bird is freaking useless anyway! Why don't we leave him here! He's just a burden to us!" Kayoko yelled.
"There is no way I'll do that. He needs training...However...Dorimaru, she's right about one thing...You can't fight like this yet...Try to not bring the fights to us. Next time we might have less luck." Itachi said. Dorimaru slightly nodded and then got back up.
"So...What shall we do now?" Dorimaru asked.
"You and I are going to train. Kayoko can do whatever she wants..." Itachi said.
"Well I obviously CAN'T do that since a certain someone is making sure I can't walk beyond a certain range from you!" Kayoko yelled as she pointed at her collar.
"Shut up and do whatever." Itachi said coldly and walked towards Dorimaru. Kayoko stuck her nose in the air and walked away, not giving either them a look or anything.
"Well then...Let's continue with the Taijutsu training we started this morning..." Itachi said and stood ready.
"Alright then." Dorimaru said and charged at Itachi. They continued training until night fell. During this time Dorimaru was able to pick up every basic fighting skill he needed to be able to hold himself in battle. However Dorimaru couldn't learn any new ninjutsu since Itachi found his chakra capacity too low to learn him anything useful.
"It's really unfortunate that your chakra level is this low...Then again you must uphold that Henge no Jutsu." Itachi said as he ate his fish.
"I guess...With your training, I'll be able to have a larger chakra capacity in almost no time." Dorimaru said.
"No...With training you'll only increase one part of your chakra, your body energy...The other, spirit energy, must come trough battle expierence and meditation." Itachi said and held his fish in the fire again.
"Ow god! Could you two please stop talking about training...Geez, you're giving me a headache with all that 'Training, training' talk..." Kayoko complained.
"Kayoko..." Itachi said and stared at her.
"What!" Kayoko responded iritated.
"Tell me...Is it that time again?" Itachi asked. Kayoko whacked him around the head and continued eating.
"There's your answer, Itachi-san." Dorimaru said and avoided a kick to his head from Kayoko. Itachi shoved over to Dorimaru.
"You know...It could also be the fact that we left without refilling our chocolade supplies..." Itachi whispered.
"No...I don't think so...If it was that then you and I wouldn't be having this conversation right now..." Dorimaru whispered back. Both of them then looked at Kayoko, who had a killer glare on her face towads them. Itachi and Dorimaru grinned nervously and then quietly continued eating. Later that night, Dorimaru was sitting in a tree near the place where Itachi and Kayoko were sleeping. He looked at them for a couple of minutes and then got up.
"It's a shame I can't leave Itachi a message...No tools to write with...But I'll come back for them once I'm done..." Dorimaru said to himself and then jumped off. The next day, Itachi was searching for Dorimaru.
"Oi, Dorimaru! Hurry up and come out!" Itachi yelled.
"Maybe he's gone off hunting..." Kayoko said as she picked up the shurikens she used for training.
"No, I haven't seen him all morning." Itachi stated as he turned towards Kayoko.
"Then maybe he found my idea best and left us..." Kayoko said under her breath and continued training.
"No, I don't think so...Something is weird about this." Itachi said and sat down.
"Anyway, if he isn't back by tomorrow, we'll have to leave him behind..." Kayoko stated as she used Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.
"I'm not going to leave him behind...But you are right...If we stay here ANBU will ambush us in time..." Itachi said.
"Besides if he isn't around you can teach me more about the Mangekyou." Kayoko said as she started practicing her evasive manoeuvres.
"...I already told you before, you must learn it on your own." Itachi said.
"Tsk...I bet you just can't teach me..." Kayoko said under her breath and continued training. Itachi didn't reply and just closed his eyes.
"Dorimaru...Where the hell did you go?" Itachi mused.
