"RITSU!" I screamed as i came crashing into the Arena. "RITSU!" I screamed again.
I ran into the middle of the fight, to see my baby caught inside a whirlwind, protecting TenTen.
"But, why did she do that?" The opponent asked as she watched the winds die down.
Tears sprang from my eyes at the sight of my baby girl holding TenTen protectively.
"M-mom..." Ritsu gasped out.
"What happened sweetheart?" I asked as i lifted her bridal style in my arms.
Her eyes slowly shut as Chiharu came forward, holding one of the many weapons that were scattered along the ground. It was a needle. "Memories..." Chiharu said through her streaming tears.
I grabbed one of the kunai from inside of TenTen's holder and slashed my wrist. "Ritsu, Now!' I yelled at her as i put my wrist up to her mouth. She slowly started to drink my blood, up untill the point where she passed out again for her healing relapse. I took my baby in my arms and jumped up to where Kakashi was standing. I sat myself between Ino and Sakura and laid Ritsu across the three of us.
I watched as Lee jumped down to catch TenTen as her opponent threw her, the battle was over with when Ritsu interfered, though we already knew that TenTen was a lost cause.
I listened Intently as words were thrown between the 2 groups.
"ENOUGH!" I yelled, catching everyone's attention. "Another word about winning or losing that doesn't have to do with the battle, or about the honor of winning or losing, will fight me one on one. My daughter, not only heart broken due to her love's death, just relived a memory that has scared her once again. Unless someone knows how to mend broken heart and erase memories, i suggest everyone get on with the matches." I stated from my seat between 2 wide eyed girls.
I smiled when i saw that Shikamaru would be going next.
"GO SHIKA!" Hime screamed from her position in the Arena. Hime never did get her hair put back into her cornrows yet, so my fair skinned daughter is running around with snake saliva encrusted hair, with leaved adn dirt matted everywhere. I sighed.
'How did I not get to that earlier, even worse, how am i just noticing this now?' i thought to myself as i watched the fight start to play out.
"ZAKU! Transform and keep you sister at bay, It seems that not only is she woried, but Eri is trying to come out of her own free will." I told my son, who was casually standing mext to Kakashi.
"Okay mommy!" He said, then in a flash he transformed into a red and black fox, with giant orange dragon wings. He flew down and held Hime against the wall using his paws. I could see the struggle in Hime's eyes, to keep control away from Eri.
"Go Shika!" I yelled from my sitting position, Ritsu lying next to me, now that both girls got up and went to their teachers.
"He won?" I heard Hime gasp. I watched as she ran over and tackled him in a hug.
"Hey, Shikamaru!" I called down to him. He turned, still captured inside of Hime's hug. "Be good to my baby, or else you'll be like Kakashi, and trust me, you DON'T wanna be like Kakashi." I winked at him as he blushed.
"Shut it mother." Hime screamed at me as she let him out of the hug, but capturing his hand within hers.
"Hey, i just want you to be both happy and safe, but according to Zaku... you now have a father, that i really don't care much for at the moment... and who the HELL planted THAT in Zaku's mind!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, pointing at Kakashi, who didn't seem to hear a word that i had said.
"Wow... Do you best boys!" I waved at Naruto and Kiba as they went to the Arena.
I smiled as i watched the boys fight. 'Naruto really has come along way. Do good, little brother.' I smiled at the thought, untill someone tapped my shoulder.
"We request the help of the Daughters of Beibe." A deep voice said from behind me.
"What is it?" I turned around to face the man.
"We request that you take in another child." The man stated as he shoved a little girl into me.
"Who requests this, and who's paying for her training?" I growled at the man as i seated the frightned little girl in my lap, trying to soothe her.
"She was found at the estate of Zabuza Momochi. We were told to give her to Beibe Namikaze, and because every one of her Daughters that are here are being used, I figured I'd give her to you, because your taking care of one right there." The man pointed to Ritsu, who was still uncontious on the floor.
"Well guess what, My name's no longer Beibe. It's Chiyo, and i no longer to the work of an assasin, unless it is important. No one comes above my daughters or my sons, or acording to my son, his daddy..." I growled out. "But because this girl has no where else to go, and you're to dumb to care care of any form of life apparently, I will take the girl. Now leave before I decide that your not worth my time." I roared at him.
He fled the Arena quickly. I laughed as i saw the look that came across the little girls face. She was shocked at how a man 3 times my size, ran away from me at full speed. I brushed my fingers through the little girl's hair, to get her attention, but instead, she flinched at me.
"Honey, it's okay... I'm not going to hurt you." I cooed at the girl. "You can trust me sweetheart." I smiled at her as she finnally relaxed. "Can you tell me your name?" I asked the girl as she sat in my lap.
"Zabuza called my Kyoko..." She mumbled. I smiled at the little girl.
"He treated you good, didn't he?" I asked her.
" and Haku were the only ones that were nice to me there." She sighed.
"It's okay sweetheart. Do you see this girl next to me?" I asked her. She nodded her head. "This girl was Haku's girlfriend." She turned to me wideeyed.
"How do you know that Miss Namikaze?" She asked me.
I smiled at Kyoko. "Because I was in love with Zabuza. And call me mom sweetheart. You are now one of my own." I smiled at her ans she giggled. "I think that's where Zabuza got it from, the ass wipe. Opps!" I covered my mouth with my hand. "How old are you sweetheart?"
"15."
I almost fainted at what Kyoko said. "But your so-"
"Tiny, I know!" She giggled.
I smiled and looked back at the battle, just in time to see 'Akamaru' bite Kiba. I stood up and brought the girl up to the railing, between me and Kakashi.
"GO NARUTO!" I screamed as he transformed. "YOU CAN DO IT!" I screamed again. I looked over to Kyoko and saw her blushing profusely. "You like Kiba~!" I sang/whispered in her ear.
Her eyes went wide, and her cheeks became darker. "It's okay, she likes Kakashi." Ritsu whispered to us. I nearly jumped out of my skin as she popped out of nowhere. Kyoko and Ritsu were both on the floor laughing and holding their sides byt he time that i got my heartbeat to slow down.
"You suck!" I stated then turned around and crossed my arms like a little kid.
I gasped as i watched Naruto go down. Kiba bad mouthing his dreams the whole way. My vision blurred as tears started forming in my eyes. I had never seen anyone treat anyhting as bad as Kiba was Naruto. The tears started flowing from my eyes as i laid my head down on the railing. Ritsu jumped into the Areana and swapped with Zaku, who then jumped up and hugged me, his own tears flowing also. I sat ont he ground and held Zaku to me.
"I wil NEVER let anyone treat my children like THAT." I stated as clear as day. Kyoko put her arms around my neck as Zaku stood up and growled. I sighed and wiped my eyes. Zaku walked up to Kakashi and started yelling at him. I couldn't hear what it was, but everyone's attention, including that of Kiba and the now standing Naruto, went to where Zaku was screaming. "I'm going to see Sasuke." I said as i stood up, and satrted walking out fo the ring.
I stopped when i felt someone lift me up. "What the Hell!" I screamed as i was thrown over a shoulder, and brought back to where i was just sitting.
"You're not going anywhere." The person said, I found out, that that person was Asuma. He set me down and trapped me between him and the railing.
"I'm not afraid to kick your ass." I growled.
"No doubt, but decause your also a Prefect in this, you should be present for all fights, no matter the cost." He stared me in the eyes as I turned my attention back to the fight.
