Siren of the Mist
Konoha
The next day in Fire Country port
Kisame's POV
Yawn. Damn I'm tired, yesterday really tired me out. I opened up my eyes and straightened up; Zabuza was still asleep in his bed and Midori was no where to be seen. Luckily the boat we're in had a three bed cabin so Midori, Zabuza and I slept in here while Washi-sensei and Jiro slept in a double room.
Suddenly the door slowly opened to reveal Midori in her usual clothes and with the usual smile on her face.
"The boat arrived overnight, time to leave you two Washi-sensei's orders." She ordered as she walker over to Zabuza's bed.
"Hey… WAKE UP!"
"I'm up.. god dammit, if it weren't for the fact you were my comrade I'd kill you." Zabuza grumbled.
'Hm, try to kill her and she what happens.' I thought picturing a bloody Zabuza on the ground, beaten nearly to death, Mirdori cheering…
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zabuza snapped.
"Yeah it's kinda creepy…" Midori added staring at me with… curiosity?
…Oh shit!
"I didn't mean it… like that! Let's get ready for traveling yes?" I replied back waving my hands in dismay.
The two just nodded and we got ready…. Damn that was awkward. They must think that… ew. Let me not think about that; the sooner we get to Washi-sensei the better because even though he doesn't express emotions so much when he does it's scary as hell… meaning anger!
It didn't take long for Zabuza and I to get changed and packed up our belongings we left the cabin and headed down towards the deck where our leader and client await us.
"So nice of you three to come, you took your time." Washi-sensei stated sarcastically.
Great… sarcasm, that means he's mad. Beside me Midori bowed.
"Sorry Sensei, Zabuza was taking too long." She announced in a respectful tone, I wonder what's bugging her. She isn't usually that formal even if it is to an adult.
"Whatever, now it will take probably a day to get to Konoha at our highest speed; the quicker we get there the better. We do not know if the ninjas who attacked have others in the fire country or not. So stay sharp." Washi-sensei instructed us as we walked out of the harbour and into the port town.
"If we are going at top speed that means Jiro would have to be incapacitated. It's the only logical choice since we need to head to a secure village in a short amount of time." I questioned our leader who merely nodded.
Jiro however didn't look to happy which I could tell is because of the 'knock-out' he had to endure yesterday but whatever. If it means getting this mission over with than I'm down with anything. We were almost at an entrance to the port town; when we got there Washi-sensei quickly knocked out Jiro, threw him over his shoulder and stared at us.
"Alright let's move, top speed!"
And of course our answer is…
"Right!"
In Konoha
(A/N: Psh, who wants to read about running?)
Normal POV.
Team Washi finally made it to the gates of Konoha; in the three genin's opinion the villiage looks like what it's been praised but Washi clearly stated that when they explore more it won't be so special.
"Now that you're in Konoha; that means we will be on our way." Zabuza pointed out.
Jiro raised an eyebrow than straigtend his glasses.
"There was something the Mizukage forgot to mention."
"Pardon?" Midori questioned.
"Yes, what do you mean? Our mission was to escort you to Konoha than back to Kirigakure." Washi explained in an annoyed tone.
Jiro scratched the back of his head.
"You see; what he forgot to mention was part two of the mission. Part two is that you bring back some data I've collected from a few days than bring it back to Kirigakure than I bring back my full report when Konoha Nin take me back to mist country."
Kisame, Zabuza and Midori wanted nothing more than to go home and stay in solitude (Zabuza and Kisame mostly.) but now they have to stay inside this god forsaken village where most people aren't familiar with a blue skinned boy, a murderous looking boy and a normal girl from the hidden mist.
"So where the hell are we going to sleep if we're staying here for a few days?" Zabuza demanded angrily.
"Zabuza. He's still our client, have proper manners." Washi informed him sharply causing Zabuza to grind his teeth.
"Don't fret; I will arrange that you stay in a hotel for those days; it should be three at the max, I absorb information quickly. So let me go to the Hokage tower and get everything settled." Jiro explained as he was about to turn around.
"Fine but I'll come too; I need to relay the message to these three." He turned to the group.
"Stay together; I'll find you guys soon." Than he walked off with Jiro.
Zabuza sighed heavily; now that he's stuck with Kisame and Midori that means he can't so what he wants- meaning lounging around and doing nothing.
"So, what do you two want to do." He asked looking over at his teammates.
Midori grumbled in discontent with how their day is going to be; she wanted to explore but obviously she can't until they get their room keys.
"I say we don't get to much attention. I don't want the Konoha citizens to get to hyped up- if you know what I'm saying."
Both Kisame and Zabuza nodded; the last thing they wanted is being looked down on or being considered dangerous.
"Lounging around doing nothing?" Zabuza asked with a hint of excitement.
"I guess, not until we figure out where we're going to sleep we can't do anything." Kisame grumbled.
Midori merely nodded.
"But, where would we 'longue'? This is their first time in Konoha, obviously they wouldn't know where to go without getting lost.
"Let's just go around and look." Kisame instructed as he walked into the busy streets of Konoha, his team followed suit.
An Hour Later
Kisame's team found a spot in a park; an oak tree to be exact. Kisame and Midori were sitting on the group while Zabuza was sitting on a branch fiddling around with twig.
"This village is peaceful; everyone is so cheerful." Midori sighed watching little kids play around in the jungle gym.
"For you that is; they stare at me. It's annoying that wherever I go I get stared at." Kisame grumbled crossing his arms and closed his eyes.
When they were traveling to find a place to relax as if it were automatic people watched in shock as the three kids walk aimlessly in the streets their eyes were mainly on their headbands, Kisame and Zabuza but they didn't show that they cared.
"Hn. This village is a bunch of softies I've heard, will of fire my ass." Zabuza grunted tossing the broken twig he was playing with.
"Shh! It's rude to disrespect a shinobi village which you're not apart of! What the hell is wrong with you, be respectful." Midori snapped.
"Our military strength is beyond the Leaf's. I understand what Zabuza is saying thought, Konoha isn't powerful." Kisame stated looking up at his masked friend.
Midori sighed heavily and returned to watch the little kids no need to argue with them both.
"Have you guys ever wondered what you want to do with your life as a shinobi?" Zabuza questioned.
Both Midori and Kisame looked up into the tree.
"Never really considered it." Midori merely stated.
"Well it depends whether or not I have Samehada in my hands if I do I want to join the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist." Kisame replied with his signature smirk.
Midori glanced at Kisame with a blank expression.
"What's the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist?"
"They're the most elite ninja squad in Kiri, they are ruthless and bloodthirsty. Perfect team for Kisame and I; but for you Midori I doubt it." Zabuza said grinning pointing at her.
"What the hell do you mean?" Midori snapped.
"You're far too soft to be in a group like the swordsmen of the mist. Besides entry to get into it; so far as I've heard is real bloody." Zabuza replied.
"Haven't we changed? We aren't considered 'The Bloody Mist' anymore right?" Midori questioned.
Kisame shrugged.
"Don't think so. The people in Konoha seem to be scared of us when we were walking. Kirigakure still has it's reputation as far as I know. That's good I prefer enemies fearing me than underestimating me."
"That's good than; it would make you're batting a whole lot easier." A familiar voice echoed.
The three teammates turned around and saw Washi standing before them with a small smile on his face. He dangles two keys infront of them.
"One for Midori and Kisame, the other for Zabuza and I. Two beds per room for three days." He explained tossing one key to Midori, Zabuza descended to the ground with an angry face.
"Why is Kisame with Midori?"
Midori raised an eyebrow.
"You want to sleep in my room Zabuza?" she asked in an oh too sweet tone causing Zabuza's face to turn red while Kisame and Midori laughed.
"Nevermind. Let's go to the hotel." He snapped walking off.
"You don't even know where it is." Washi called out causing Midori and Kisame to laugh louder.
The two days later
Midori's POV
The sun peaked out of the windows of the hotel room nothing happened the past few days all we did was eat, talk and sleep. Washi-sensei said that it's like a 'vacation.' Psh a two day vacation, that's not even a vacation! Today is our last day so I hope we can
I straightened up in the bed, back against the backboard, I looked at the clock beside me it showed 11:35am. Holy shit! I was asleep for that long? I looked across the room where Kisame was still sleeping. I got out of bed, stretched and walked over to him, crouching down I started to poking his gill cheeks.
I realized over the years that his gill markings are sensitive as well as his ears which is why he covers them up with his headband all the time. So in order for him to wake up with waking the entire hotel I'm poking his gills! Aren't I a genius?
Finally, his golden eyes opened slightly than sighed and turned around in the process. I guess this is going to be more difficult.
"Come on Kisame.. Wake up…" I pleaded shaking his shoulder.
"Why?" he asked tiredly.
"Because it's around noon and it's time for lunch! We got a mini-vaction don't you want to go out and do something?"
"No." than he hid himself under his covers.
Fine. If he won't get up freely than I'll just force him too.
"Okay, I'll ask Zabuza. He'll probably be delighted to accompany me today, possibly a date." I said as I grabbed my clothes and entered the washroom to get changed.
When I got inside I changed into my usual attire since I didn't expect to be staying for extra days so no casual clothes… damn.
I went to the mirror, straightened my hair, brushed my teeth and all that girly stuff (I hate it but it's something I got into the habit because of both Kimiko and Mom.)
When I walked out I saw Kisame, fully dressed waiting on his bed. He immediately noticed my presence and gestured that we get going; my plan worked after all which is fantastic!
In Konoha Streets
(Still Midori's POV)
So we decided that we'd be going to a restaurant for lunch (luckily we have a lot of money.) so we walked inside one than got turned away. One after the other we got kicked out which was making me upset. Was it because of Kisame? Or was it because we were Ninjas from 'Blood Mist'? but the last waiter made me so pissed I swore at him.
"Come on Midori; no need to be so upset about it." Kisame said in a reassuring tone; I could tell he wasn't happy that I'm all worked up.
"Aren't you at all effected by how people act because you're different?" I yelled stopping dead in my tracks; we were walking in a mildly crowded street.
"Yeah but it doesn't bother me much anymore since I met you, Kimiko and Zabuza." He replied stopping too.
I remained silent; I looked back to when we first met… ever since then we were inseparable do I mean that much to him?
"Now, I'm starving we'll find a place soon." Kisame said with a shark-like smile; swinging an arm around my shoulder forcing me to walk again.
I'm glad I have Kisame as my best friend, was I even mad? He made my anger go away by just one sentence and a smile…
"Hey look! Let's try there!" Kisame shouted than dragged my arm towards a fancy looking bistro.
We walked in, luckily we got a table and we were waiting for our order.
"See we got a table aren't you happy?" Kisame asked me causing me to smile wide.
"Yes I am, thank you Kisame. So, 50/50 on the cheque?"
"Nah, I'll pay for it. Unlike you I have a lot of money to burn."
I merely nodded; since he's going to be a gentlemen I'll let him pay.
Minutes later
It wasn't long until we got our orders; while I ate I began to notice Kisame's attention was elsewhere besides here. His expression plastered on his face has given me the impression that he was either annoyed or can't see something.
"Kisame…?"
No response.
I turned around and raised an eyebrow.
Kisame, yes my Kisame is glaring at a baby who was glaring back too and was winning; the baby had wrinkles of either side of his face which is abnormal since babies tend to be plush-ish. (A/N: Guess who? xD)
"Are you serious? You're glaring at a damn baby!"
"He started it!"
I stared at him with an unconvinced stare; how can a baby.. not even like.. two years old start a fight with a thirteen year old?
"I hope I never meet him in the future." Kisame grumbled as he pushed his empty plate away. (A/N: I think I smell irony.)
Sighing; I just let it go and finished my food. After Kisame kindly paid for it all we walked out into the streets, it was really busy a lot of people were walking in the streets.
"What you want to do?" I asked Kisame who was walking beside me.
He shrugged.
"I don't know, train?"
"Why would you want to train? It's a vacation!"
"we have to get back to Kirigakure remember? And also remember that we got some rouge ninjas after us when we get back. We need to be prepared." Kisame explained; it was simply true. I never encountered the rouge ninjas so I don't know how powerful they are; and since Kisame used up majority of his chakra in with his jutsus.
"We can't just waltz inside their training zones; only Konoha Shinobi can go inside just like how it is in Kirigakure."
Kisame smacked his forehead.
"Shit I forgot about that." Kisame grumbled.
"Well since we can't train what should we do?"
Suddenly Zabuza came running towards us.
"Dear god; you know how hard it is to find you two in a huge village as this you dumbasses?" he ranted, that's probably the best trait he has of all.
"Why would you want us?" Kisame questioned, obviously not happy about Zabuza's statement.
"Washi-sensei got the report from that lab rat; we are leaving now."
I looked over at Kisame; he stared back than nodded.
"Right." I said as Zabuza lead the way to the front gates.
At the Gate
When we got there Washi-sensei and Jiro were waiting for us by the gates; Jiro looked like he wasn't coming but go-figure he probably has to go back to looking through a tube and Washi-sensi looked the same as always but he had both Kisame and my bag in his left hand.
"Alright; now that we are all here…" Washi said as he threw our bags at us. "We can be on our way." He finished.
Jiro coughed purposely.
"As you know I'll be staying so your main priority is to deliver the report safely to Kirigakure."
Washi-sensei nodded.
"And since we don't know if the rouges are still chasing after us so we must travel swiftly."
Kisame, Zabuza and I nodded in understanding, which would mean running longer and less sleeping.
"Than good luck to you all." Jiro said happily as he walked away; probably back to a lab or something.
"Let's go." Washi-sensei command before we jumped into the trees.
Several days later
Normal POV
Blood and destroyed bodies with an enraged-not to mention a bloodthirsty Kisame in the middle of the gory scene; that's all Midori could see in her position by a broken tree. The pain which coursed throughout her shoulder began to throb again.
'How the hell did this happen again…'
Flashback
Midori's POV
It's been a few days since we left Konoha; we are in mist country again and hot on our toes. Washi-sensei sensed a slight presence around us while we were walking on the roadside but now we're jumping through trees and crossing bodies of water trying to avoid a battle.
"Why aren't we facing the rouges head on; we'd have nothing to worry about." Zabuza complained.
I couldn't help but agree; if we defeated them when we had the chance than we wouldn't have to worry if we were being followed or not.
"We would if you were more experienced, you might have been a shinobi at 9 but we have Midori with us- who hasn't even killed before. Going into a battle at such a high stake would be to much, you must remember that Zabuza." Washi-sensei pointed out.
I feel pretty bad; if I was as good as Kisame back when we were 10 I wouldn't be such an amateur. I would be at the same level as Zabuza and Kisame.
What I didn't notice was Kisame staring at my face- which was full of shame.
"Don't worry Midori; I'll have your back." He whispered beside me.
I couldn't help but smile; I could always rely on him to help me when needed.
Washi-sensei stopped jumping and looked into the sky which I could only put into one thing.
"Scatter!" he shouted before a huge explosion.
When the dust cleared I jumped into a small clearing near the disaster zone, only Zabuza and Kisame arrived which left me to wonder what happened to Washi-sensei.
"Put your guard up Midori." I heard Zabuza say from a distance.
Two shinobi appeared in the clearing as well.
"Well, look here it's the mist nin from before… and with friends." One chuckled; he had the regular symptoms of a rouge ninja; a mask covering his face ,black rugged clothes but no village headband leaving the team to wonder.
"But where is the scientist? We were-
"Be quiet!" the first rouge yelled.
The one who was cut off looked away .
"Yes, what were you going to do with the Scientist?" Kisame called out; obviously unafraid of these rouges.
"That is none of your concern. You do not have what we want but we will take your lives for killing our comrades." The
The leader was the first to attack drawing out a knife like Kunai; he dashed towards the team more specifically… oh shit me!
To be continued!
Sammy: Yes i know that it was a low blow that i made it a cliffy! i was going to make this chapter longer but since i didn't want people to wait any longer their battle will continue in the next chapter!
