Chapter 28
Meeting Team 8
Naruto's face grew firm. It was serious and no longer with holding the worried look he had on earlier for me. He looked dark and scary instead. Then, he turned to me, and pounced on me, I fell to the ground, he did too. That's what he meant to do I bet. He was on top of me.
"Don't you ever say that about Sasuke! Never ever!", Naruto hissed. "I had made a promise to Sakura-chan to bring him back!!! Also, I know he's nothing like those good for nothing Akatsuki members!!! They're all heartless!!!"
At first, I was shocked, then, I was angry. "You can't say that about Sasori and Deidara Naruto!!! Sasuke left the fucking village and didn't care what you thought!!! I know! I read! You fought Sasuke at the waterfall, but you lost! Oh yes, you lost! He didn't even bother to turn around and change his mind! Now, here you are hissing in my face about how Deidara and Sasori are the fucking bad guys???!!!"
"THEY'RE NOTHING LIKE SASUKE OR ANY OF US!!!", Naruto shouted louder. "THEY KILL PEOPLE!!! DID YOU SEE WHAT THEY DID TO GAARA???!!!"
"OH YEAH, I SAW NARUTO!!! I WAS WITH THEM WHEN IT HAPPENED!!! THEY DIDN'T KILL HIM ON THE SPOT THOUGH!", I yelled.
"THEY WERE ORDERED NOT TO!!! THEY WOULD'VE IF THEY WEREN'T GIVEN ORDERS TO KEEP HIM ALIVE!!!", Naruto roared.
"NOO! SHUT UP! YOU NEVER GAVE THEM A CHANCE NARUTO! YOU NEVER EVER GAVE THEM A CHANCE TO EVEN LIVE!!! YOU JUST WENT ALL DILLY DALLY SAYING THAT THEY WERE BAD!!! YOU CAN'T JUDGE PEOPLE!!! I TOLD YOU ALREADY!!!", I screamed. "PEOPLE ARE JUDGED BY GETTING TO KNOW THEM! NOT BY WHAT YOU KNOW THEY DO OR DID!!! I DON'T EVEN GET HOW PEOPLE UNDERSTAND YOU! YOU KNOW WHAT???!!! YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THEM, SO YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND ME!!!"
"KYRA, YOU LISTEN TO ME IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU! THEY'VE MUST'VE HAD YOU BRAINWASHED!!! NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT FUCKING MIND WOULD THINK THAT THE AKATSUKI ARE GOOD!!!", Naruto raised his voice. "YOU UNDERSTAND NOTHING KYRA!!!"
I lifted my hand, and slapped Naruto. His eyes stayed opened. He didn't look at me. "I may not understand you.", I said softly, shoving him off of me. "But, I do understand Sasori and Deidara, and they are the ones I'm going to believe."
Naruto glanced at me. "They're not even alive Kyra."
I turned back to him. "No, but their souls still burn brightly."
Naruto hesitated, and stood up. He grabbed my arm. "Kyra... look, I didn't mean to explode like that... It's just that, Sasuke was such a great friend to me. I'd do anything to get him back... especially since Sakura-chan misses him. You should already know I love Sakura-chan because in your world I'm kind of in a... comic?" I nodded. "Yea, okay, so, you know..."
I sighed. "You don't even know the perfect girl that's waiting for you. What kind of sick bastard are you?"
"Who're you calling a sick bastard?", Naruto glared at me.
I laughed. "You! Haha! You're just so unobservant... Anyway, yeah, just, don't blow up on me like that. You gave me a heart attack."
We started walking. "No really? You actually seemed to encourage the fight with your comments."
"You did start it though.", I smiled. "It's funny how we were just fighting and now..."
"Yeah...", Naruto nodded. "It's just the nature of us people. We fight over the silliest of things."
"That was a smart thing to say Naruto.", I said. "However, this was kind of a serious problem. You just never know when one will snap though. Also, you are true about how people fight over silly things. It's all true. You've really grown stronger and smarter."
"Are you saying I was dumb?", Naruto grinned.
"Maaaybe!", I laughed.
Naruto started laughing too. "Kyra, you're ridiculous! I mean I really thought—"
"Long time no see, Naruto...", said an eerie voice.
Naruto and I both jumped. We turned back and saw a weird dude. He was dressed in 2 trench coats I think. A gray one over a black one. Then, he wore glasses and the village headband.
"Do I know you?", Naruto asked wearily.
"It's me!", the dude said.
"Like I said, Do I know you???", Naruto and I turned our whole bodies around.
"... Hey, I know it's been a while...", the dude muttered. "... And you seem to have made a new friend, but you should at least try to remember your older friends from the past you know. Or else... it just hurts the other person's feelings."
I stared at the dude and sighed. Dear me... I think I know who it is...
"I know that irritating voice!", Naruto exclaimed, pointing at the guy. "Don't tell me... SHINO??!!"
"Finally...", Shino said. "You remembered."
"FOOL!", Naruto shouted, scooting backwards. "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO RECOGNIZE YOU WITH YOUR FACE HIDDEN LIKE THAT??!!"
"Shino, you're early!", called another voice. His voice was cool too.
Naruto and I looked the opposite way. Another guy came with a huge dog so big he was sitting on it. The boy had spiky brown hair, and red triangles on his cheeks. He had on a jacket that looked like a bikers' jacket back in my world, and black Capri of some sort?
Naruto stared at him in awe. "K... Kiba?", he finally got out.
"Hey!", Kiba exclaimed. "Naruto, it was you, after all!"
Naruto made a small confused smile.
"I thought I recognized your scent!", Kiba laughed, climbing off the big dog.
"That's what you recognized???!!!", Naruto peered at him. The dog barked, the bark was loud and deep. Naruto pointed at the dog. "That dog... he can't be..."
"Come on!", Kiba smirked, turning his head to the dog. "Of course it's Akamaru! But hey... did you grow or something?!"
I laughed out loud.
"Meee??!!! Akamaru's the one that grew!!!", Naruto said. "I didn't know dogs could get that big so fast!"
Kiba's smirk grew into a smile. "Really? Heh, guess I never noticed because he's always with me..."
"How could you not notice?!", Naruto wondered, staring at Akamaru. "He used to sit on top of your head!!! Right Shino?" He turned to Shino.
"You recognized Kiba right away... Naruto...", Shino sulked.
He doesn't seem like a sulker at all though. I thought, with a confused smile.
"Yeek!"
We all turned another way. "I heard something Naruto.", I said.
"I'll go check it out.", Naruto said.
"I'm coming too.", Kiba said.
Shino quietly, tagged along. Haha! Tagged... along... sounds girly...
"Oh, it's you Hinata!", Naruto announced. "Are you hiding over here?"
He popped his head around the corner of the fence. "Uh... HINATA??!! WHY'RE YOU FALLING DOWN??"
"Ever notice how she always faints in front of Naruto?", Kiba grinned.
"You also recognized Hinata right away... Naruto...", Shino continued sulking.
Delude yourself much, Shino? I asked myself.
We all waited by the big tree where we found Shino for Hinata to wake up. Kiba walked up by me.
"So, who are you anyway? I don't recognize you from this village.", Kiba said. "You a foreigner?"
"Actually no.", I responded.
"Yeah. I actually met Kyra a week ago.", Naruto said. "Then, I met her again on our mission to rescue Gaara."
"Yep.", I nodded.
"Oh. How old are you?", Kiba asked, leaning closer to me.
"Hehe, I'm 18.", I smiled.
"Whoa! 18?! That's older than me!", Kiba laughed. "Odd, you look so young. I thought you were 14 to be honest. So, are you like, Naruto's girlfriend or something? Wow Naruto, you scored! Never thought you cou—"
Naruto punched Kiba's head. Kiba continued laughing.
"Kidding, kidding!!!", Kiba grinned. "Anyway, I'm Inuzuka Kiba. Aburame Shino is him, and Hyuuga Hinata is her."
"Yeah, I kind of found that out.", I scratched my head.
"Hm...?", we heard Hinata mumble.
Naruto leaned next to her, but I shoved him outta the way. "You'll be of no help!", I whispered to him.
"Wh-what?", Hinata muttered.
"Hi, Hinata-chan.", I said. "I'm Kyra. Also, please don't faint even if Naruto's here. Haha, he just wants to talk to you, I bet."
"Oh, hello Kyra-chan... are you new to the village?", Hinata asked.
"Kinda. I'm just passing by and staying here for a bit. Nothing much, really.", I smirked.
"Yeah, she's not from around here.", Kiba added.
Naruto was going to speak, but I kicked his shin... hard. He lifted his leg, grabbing his shin, holding in the curse words he had in store. I continued to smile.
"So, really, that's kind of it about me.", I said to them all.
"Hn... Oh, yea, that reminds me!", Naruto said, coming back, limping. "I wanted to know if you guys would be willing to help me. Like, work with Sakura-chan and I in our team."
"Sorry... we have a mission with Kurenai-sensei... Naruto...", Shino sulked.
Naruto, Kiba, Hinata, and I cocked our heads and let out a sigh.
