Chapter Thirty-Five: Final fight.
Gaara:
The sun is setting, casting a red glow over the ground and allowing the stars to shine through in all their brilliance, making room for the moons pale glow. The final battle is about to take place, anticipation runs through every ones bodies, as the children yawn, fighting away the awaiting sleep that's begging for dominance of their fragile beings. Two girls step into the moonlit arena, one as white as the moon itself and one purple like a plum. Fuu was dressed as usual, her white dress and shirt draping over her small shoulders, with her hair falling loosely down her back, she has also added the fish net gloves, tights and vest and had made no extra effort to cover the scratches and bruises covering her body and face. The assassin, Geni, her purple rival, had swirled her deep purple hair up onto her head, creating a spiral that was highlighted with plum streaks, she wore a purple crop top that was so dark it was almost black along with black trousers. Geni stuck her hand out for Fuu to shake,
Fuu pulled a face that seemed to say 'how stupid do you think I am?' and snorted, "Like I'd fall into the trap like your friend over there, you are seriously underestimating me darling."
"Worth a try." The other girl shrugged, jumping forwards to have Fuu gracefully twirl out the way, her laughs ringing tunefully through out the arena as she kept twisting and turning and leaping out the way of all her purple rivals attempts to hit. She looked like a little kid playing and fooling around, a massive grin plastered on her small face.
Geni suddenly tried to kick her but at the same time threw Kunai where ever Fuu could have twirled to. Fuu jumped in the air and stood there until the Kunais rang as they hit the ground, she then stepped back down leveling herself with Geni.
"Oh," Fuu pouted, "Getting serious already? But I was enjoying myself!" She stamped her foot like the little kid in a tantrum,
"Well I'm not here for fun, I'm here to become a chunnin. Once I'm a chunnin I can go on harder missions. And get my chance to kill more." Her lilac eyes lit up at the word kill, "In fact I feel like a need a little... bloodshed tonight, even if they won't let me kill you, I just want your warm blood running on my hands."
"I'd be careful if I were you..."
"Why? I'm not about to be beat by you!" Geni interrupted Fuu mid sentence,
"Maybe I didn't mean of me." She shrugged as she jumped forward kicking Geni.
"Bitch." Geni coughed
"Well you don't like to play fair, and that was face on, so it was fairer than how you like to fight, wasn't it?" She had a confident, snide look playing through her eyes,
"I don't blame you for hating my fighting style, I mean it is going to be what ends your life." The purple gennin put on an innocent smile, "And to top it off you won't even see it, I'll strike from the back and kill you within a second. Then again... Maybe I should torture you a little first. Either way, never let me see your back." She let out a cackle as she jumped behind Fuu, and grabbed a Kunai to her neck, "See, you're going to have to be better than that to survive."
"Will I? Maybe you should concentrate on keeping your captured victim." Fuu smiled as she twisted and disappeared in a gust of wind. She reappeared sitting on the ledge on the kage balcony, legs swinging over the edge, "Raikage-sama. What an asshole you are." She sighed, A, the Raikage opened his mouth to object but she carried on, "So young, look at her. Just a child and look what you have made her, a killing machine." She turned her head, a sad look in her eyes, yet somehow it seemed threatening despite her innocent sadness.
"You should watch your mouth Missy, I'm your superior! And who are you to judge how I treat my people? And to insult a Kage, well I could have you killed for that, Hm... Sounds like it would make a nice day. We haven't had a good be-heading in... oh a long time." He kept a cool, monotone, emotionless. I opened my mouth to say something but I caught the smirk on Fuus face and I thought I'd see what she'd do.
"You? Be-head me? You'd have to catch me first, and you don't look nearly fast enough. Besides, who wants the kazekage out to kill them? I certainly wouldn't..." She trailed off as she jumped down throwing a Kunai at Genis feet to alert her of where she was.
"Little bitch. Oh well, if Geni doesn't kill her I'll show her that I am more than capable of catching her, she's only a Gennin for crying out loud, she hasn't even ever been on a mission." A scoffed,
"I thought I told you, that Geni kills Fuu and we go to war, it makes no difference to me if any of your Ninja kill her, the result is the same. War. Where you will die. Besides, she's right, you could never catch her." I let my sand creep up the back of his chair and curl around his neck, "And don't start thinking a kid like me couldn't lay a finger on you, because I can kill you in an instant." My sand grabs hold of his neck for a moment before slithering back into my gourd.
To my great pleasure the Raikage flinched at the touch of my sand then shivered when it left his neck bare.
"Getting to close to your ninja is never good, as I'm sure you will learn with time." Onoki spoke for the first time,
"Oh, but she's more than just any other ninja. She is the mother to his child, he's gone and gotten himself whipped on us my dear Tsuchikage," Tsuande giggled, slurring most the words slightly.
"Hn. She is merely a part of our family now." I kept my voice flat with a slight daring tone, waiting to see if anyone would try to push my limits, thankfully they decided to stop the conversation.
Looking back to the fight I notice neither has actually gotten serious yet, even after Geni putting in a proper attack, Fuu is dancing around giggling and jumping up to her face, taunting the other girl, who is standing still, watching Fuus movements for a pattern, which she won't find since Fuu is just playing, every now and then throwing a weapon halfheartedly or snatching out for her approaching face, only to miss.
"I suppose I'm going to have to actually try with you, and here I was hoping to get it over with in five minutes to go get something nice to eat." I make out Geni saying as she moves into a fighting position,
"Oh, but I wasn't even trying yet and you already think I'm powerful enough to have to waste time on? I'm honoured for your compliments." Fuu takes an overly dramatic bow, "S'pose you want me to try as well? Alright!" She seems full of thrill as she gets behind Genis back kicking her forward, probably for the irony that Geni had told Fuu not to let her get behind Fuus back and she had failed to listen to her own advice. Geni quickly pushed back against the ground that she was slipping along and spun round giving a side kick to Fuus rib cage, her hand flew to her mouth, which she held open in mock shock. She turned her head to one side as she quickly made numerous hand signs as waved her hand, a sharp razor if wind aiming at Geni, she ran right behind the blade of wind so as when Geni dodged it Fuu could punch her, unfortunately Geni managed to block it, only taking a minor injury to her right arm. They both jumped back about two meters, scowling at each other, Geni leaped forwards once again, blade in hand, but Fuu jumped at the last minute, leaving behind an explosive tag that she activated as soon as she jumped. This resulted in a now red Geni, her skin scorched and clothes burnt, with a few flames still flickering on her, hanging on for their dear lives, the purple and red girl growled in annoyance and moved shocking speed, kicking Fuu five times in the stomach before she was sent flying. Fuus shirt blew off in the movement, showing her gashed back, the mizukage next to me gasped in horror, Genis reaction was very different when she saw the gashes, she smiled, evilly.
Every fiber of my being froze, I skipped a heart beat and held my breath, why does she look like that? What is she going to do to her... With the same lightning speed Geni appeared above Fuu, kicking her hard in the head, then jumped behind, Kunai in hand. Fuu let out a blood curdling scream as blood rushed from the re-opened wound on her back, Geni was cackling evilly. My vision went black.
Geni:
The scream of pain that escapes her plump red lips as I stab my knife into her wound intoxicates me, the blood smiling over my arms just has be craving more of the thick red liquid. I force myself to jump back to see the look that her petite face will hold. She has covered her screaming mouth hiding all her pain but fear glinting in her light grey eyes. How I love to see the fear that I strike in their hearts, the knowledge that I can end their lives there and then, the knowledge that i can torment them before I do so. Yes, this fear is what I live for, it is my life source, my soul reason for living, to drink in the fear that I create.
"No." The word is barely audible as it escapes her mouth, the terrified tone in her voice has me shaking from pleasure. "No." She repeats. "Please no." Yes, this is exactly what I yearn to hear, the begging that is coming, the pathetic, weak begging. "Get behind me. Now." I love their begging... wait... what did she just say?
"What?" I feel my eyebrows knot together in confusion, why isn't she begging, why isn't she scared? No she is, but why is she commanding me?
"Get behind me now." Her voice is low and dangerous as she tries to cover her shaking,
"You really shouldn't let me get behind you again you know." I whisper threateningly,
"Get behind me if you value your life!" What does she mean?
"Value my life? What you're going to kill me? Why would I do as my enemy says?"
"GET BEHIND ME NOW IF YOU WANT TO LIVE FOR ANOTHER MOMENT!" She's screaming, "I'd make you, but if i show how much pain I'm in, even I won't be able to stop him."
"Stop who?" Suddenly I take note of the murderous chakra that is speedily rising, glancing around I see a wave of sand growing from the Kage balcony, a mock of red standing at it's center.
"Please, get behind me now, he'll kill you! PLEASE!" She's begging but not for her life, why? The fear is still there so why isn't she scared for her own life? "Temari, Matsuri, Kages, go along and make sure no one is hurt, I'm sorry but please do as I say, Daisuke try calm down the children. Kankuro, you're his brother see if you can calm him, if not try get him down here without harming anyone then protect Geni." She starts shouting out to the crowd, trying to hide the pain she is in. She glances at me, worry battling with fear over her emotions, "Stand behind me and don't move from behind me, Kankuro will come and help you in a second. Just please stay with me!" The sand is now rushing out to us, I unconsciously step behind the white haired girl, then it hits me. She isn't scared of me. She's scared for me. Scared that I'll be hurt by this deadly sand that her Kazekage is sending out for me, for causing her pain. She's trying to save me. But why?
Kankuro:
Fuu is shoved back, her shirt flying off, reveling a wide gash down her back, the one she got from Amegakure. An evil smile covers Geni, her oppenents face, as she leaps forwards to Fuu. Crimson blood spills from her back as the plum-haired Kunoichi slams her Kunai into her back, into her ready made wound. A scream of pain echos through the arena before Fuus hand slam over her own mouth. My skin starts to crawl, my hairs sticking on end. No, please no. No he can't, not in front of so many people. Suddenly a chakra full of murderous intent and hate rises rapidly, No, please no. Don't do this! Oh no, it's to late. Glancing up, frozen in place I see my baby brother stand, a wave of sand forming around him, with him at the eye. You can feel the fear radiating off the bodies of those who have noticed, quite whimpers start to sound from frightened children. Still stuck I hear a voice call out,
"Temari, Matsuri, Kages, go along and make sure no one is hurt, I'm sorry but please do as I say, Daisuke try calm down the children. Kankuro, you're his brother see if you can calm him, if not try get him down here without harming anyone then protect Geni." Its Fuu. We have to get him to her, she's stopped this before, please let no one be hurt. I see my sister and Matsuri jumping up, along with the Kages, stationing themselves around the civilians, Dai running around to the crying children soothing them. Before I realise whats going on I find myself charging up to Gaara,
"Kankuro, stay five meters away, just try calm him down, or at least make sure he doesn't get any worse and bring him down to me." Shes struggling to hide it, but her voice is wavering from pain, tears are being forced back from her eyes. I give a curt nod, stopping just from Gaara.
"Gaara. Please. Breath, not here, this isn't you, calm down." His sand is making it's way to the girls below, aiming for Geni, he would never hurt Fuu. A hand suddenly tries to hit me back, no killing intent in it, just trying to push away an annoyance, I dodge to the side, "OK, Gaara, please, lets talk to Fuu quickly. You have to check she's alright first don't you? Her safety is most important right now, isn't that right?" He grunts a reply, his sand keeps edging for the purple gennin slowly stalking forwards.
Temari:
Why? Why now, here? With so many judging eyes, so much fear radiating off people, so many people to see his break-down. To witness the Shukaku take over the Kazekage, the murder he is capable of. Please don't let anyone get hurt, we have to stop this, as soon as possible. If there is a God, please don't let Gaara hurt anyone, let Fuu and Kankuro be able to stop him, please. The blood on Fuus back is growing, her dress is now a bright, vibrant red where it used to be a pure, plain white. She's going to need medical attention, and she won't be able to stay conscious to long with the rate that she's loosing blood, please let Gaara calm down quickly, if she passes out how will we stop him? Please let her make it long enough to stop it, and maybe even to finish the fight with this girl, goodness only knows that she'll bring hell down on us if she doesn't. I glance over to Matsuri to see her almost hyperventilating, she's always been frightened of the thought of Gaara loosing control, and seeing the state he was in when he lost it when he saw Fuus injuries hasn't helped her Phobia.
"It'll be fine. She can fix this." I comfort, not believing the lie myself, I don't no that it will be fine, what if she can't fix it? He seems worst than last time, worst than most times, and the only way I can see this end is in someones death, whether it's Gaara getting to Geni or Fuu from lack of blood I can't tell. But I'm almost certain this will end with a death, all we can do is hope with all our hearts it doesn't. Behind me I hear someones disgusted whisper,
"He's a monster. That thing still is the Shukaku, I can't believe he's a Kage. Its revolting." Tears come to my eyes as I realise everything Gaara has worked for is now slipping away, they are fearing him again. And fear and hate walk hand in hand. My body reacts with out my consent, and next thing I can tell my fist has made contact with the bastards head who dared to insult my baby brother, and his body falls limp in his chair. At least he doesn't have to witness this, right?
Fuu:
flying through the air from the force of a kick I just received from the plum-purple assassin, my shirt floating off behind me. An spark of evil appears in her eyes, as she disappears to stand behind me. A pain shoots through my back, as i realise she has stabbed the gash that the rain villages citizens made. A scream escapes my lips as I fill a warm liquid spill over my white dress. No, what have I done! I shouldn't have shown the pain! My hands fly up to my mouth, trying to grab back the scream, stopping it from ever having leaving my lips, but it's to late. What will he do? He might not lose control... Suddenly I feel a new chakra growing at an alarming rate, No, oh please! No! I have to get the girl before he does!
"No. No, please no!" I whisper my thoughts out loud, "Get behind me, now!" Its still barely audible, but I feel as if a raise in my voice will cause me to scream out again,
"What?" Genis forehead is creased, confused,
"Get behind me now." I try to sound dangerous, since I know I can't speak louder, my body is vibrating, shaking from fear and pain.
"You really shouldn't let me get behind you again you know." She's threatening me, but that's the least of my worries right now,
"Get behind me if you value your life!" I plea, she looks even more dumbstruck,
"Value my life? What you're going to kill me? Why would I do as my enemy says?" She's snarling, failing to hide her confusion and disbelief,
"GET BEHIND ME NOW IF YOU WANT TO LIVE FOR ANOTHER MOMENT!" I break, having to bite hard on my tongue until I can taste iron washing through my mouth to stop another scream erupting. I lower my voice and force my self to carry on, "I'd make you, but if I show how much pain I'm in, even I won't be able to stop him!"
"Stop who?" She stops talking, her mouth hanging open, obviously just noticing his chakra level rise with an murderous aura. She looks around, her eyes settling on the Kages, where a wave of sand is forming its self around the Kazekage.
"Please get behind me now, He'll kill you! PLEASE!" I start to feel slightly light headed from lack of blood, damn it all I have to stay conscious! "Temari, Matsuri, Kages, go along and make sure no one is hurt, I'm sorry but please do as I say, Daisuke try calm down the children. Kankuro, you're his brother see if you can calm him, if not try get him down here without harming anyone then protect Geni." I start to call out, we can't let anyone get hurt. I turn to Geni, and breath out her instructions, "Stand behind me and don't move from behind me, Kankuro will come and help you in a second. Just please stay with me!" Sand is rushing up to us, out of the corner of my eye I notice her move behind me, staring at the sand cloud approaching. OK, good, she's listening, now I just have to calm Gaara down. Kankuro is standing five metres away from Gaara, just as I advised, trying to talk him down and get him back, but he is just hit away by Gaaras sand, no killing intention, or infact intention to harm, just trying to get rid of the nuisance. Kankuro gasps as the wind is hit out of him but quikly makes his way back to Gaaras side. The are now half way down and Gaara is becoming faster, blood lust emitting off his pale body, Kankuro dives forwards to get down before Gaara. He stations himself in front of Geni to fight off the sand.
A soft thud sounds as Gaara drops to the floor, a meter in front of me, he looks me over gazing at the blood that is refusing to take a break from running, he lets out a low pitch growl even more anger coming to his eyes. He moves his hand to make the sand dive at Geni, Kankuro jumps in the way, stopping the advance,
"Move. I will kill you to get to the girl." Gaara and Shukaku growl together, when kankuro doesn't move he starts his sand towards him to knock him out the way.
"No." I gasp, still struggling to hide the pain, "No Gaara. Please. He's your brother. You don't want to hurt him, please don't hurt him."
He stares at me, sad eyes gazing down, the anger is still there but he does not direct it at me, he doesn't say a word, just tries to knock Kankuro out the way, he immediately steps back in front of Geni,
"I... Want... Her... Blood. Give me her blood!" Gaara is snarling, licking his lips, out of the corner of my eye I see kankuro shake his head, in to much fear for words to form.
"Gaara I won't let you hurt her! This is my battle! You're the one who wanted me in this stupid exam now let me finish it! Pain is just a part of being a Shinobi get back now!" I manage to keep my voice relatively flat in spite the fact that I am swaying and dizzy from blood loss.
"She... She hurt you! Like they did! I swore, I swore not to let you get hurt! HOW DARE SHE! She must be punished, and I'm thirsty right now."
"Gaara, think about this, this could end in war! The Raikage is a rash man from what I've heard!"
"Oh, naive little girl, that only means more bloodshed for me." It is only shukaku talking now, Gaara is lost to him, his body now a sand colour decorated with blue, his body ready to start changing form.
Fuck! I have to think fast, what can I do? I grab a Kunai and hold it to my own throat, "For ever ounce of pain you cause her I will cause myself ten times as much." I threaten, he growls angrily, using his sand to snatch the kunai from my grasp,
"You are in to much pain to move fast enough, so I will not allow you to!"
Well that worked, "Gaara not with so many people watching! You tried so hard to stop them thinking of you as a monster, they'll start again! You don't want this!" I can feel tears in my eyes, I also am now seeing double vision,
"I... Don't... Care! Let them think what they like! All I want is the taste of her blood." He has now grown claws from his fingernails,
"GAARA!" I scream in anguish, I pull my arms around his neck, whispering in his ear, "Please, For me! Please don't do this! This isn't you." The hot tears are now falling down my face, his breath evens out slightly but as it does I fall limp against him and his breathing shallows once again, I have to do this now, I only have a minute or so left. What can I do?
With great effort I pull myself back from leaning on him, I look up into his eyes, ones that I am so used to being a teal, sea-foamish colour but are now completely changed, "Come back to me." I whisper, reaching up to press my lips quickly against his, "Please come back." I whisper as we break, shock covers his face as his eyes change back and the decorations on his skin disappear back to where they came from.
He has wide eyes as he opens his mouth to speak, "I'm... I'm so sorry." He looks around at all the terrified faced, "What have I done? They all... all saw. What can I do?"
"Shh, I have that sorted."
"What, how?"
"I found someone who can help. You didn't think I was just sitting around waiting did you?"
~Flash back~
The last dribbles of rain are fading away, It hasn't stopped raining since I arrived. A shiver runs through my body as I walk through the cold night air, away from Narutos apartment, in search for dog-boy, Naruto got defensive when I doubted he'd have a girl round and said he was, so now I'm searching for that boy and his dog that I met at the party Naruto threw a while back. But before I head there I need to search for something, rather someone, where does one start a search for a memory blanker? Perhaps I could ask that dog-boy, Kiba I think, if he knows of any here... But then I might have to explain why I need one. Besides its already night fall I don't want to turn up in the middle of the night, I always have tomorrow to look. Now to follow the scent of wet dog.
It took me around an hour to find his house, his mother didn't seem very happy that I was crashing there but allowed it after Kiba shouted for a bit. As soon as his eyes dart away from me I take five sleeping pills, well I can't sleep unless I pass out or go through a screaming fit, he looks back and carries on the conversation. After about a minute I feel the pills kick in, and pretend to fall asleep, once he left I hit my head hard against the arm of the sofa, completing my passing-out.
I wake up to a dog slobbering all over my face, that's just peachy, it was a cute dog though so I didn't mind to much.I left virtually straight after being woken, only stopping to say goodbye and thank you. Until the thought hit me that I wanted to ask him where I could find someone, pulling him into a hug I whispered,
"Kiba? Do you know if there's anyone with the power to erase memories?"
"What? Why do you want that?"
"Just answer, I can't explain, it's complicated."
"I can't think of anyone here... You need to ask someone with a lot of contact, try Ino. She'll be at the flower shop."
"Thank you." I call as I run out the door, hopefully she'll have a better lead than Kiba.
I push open the door to the flower shop, a skinny girl with a blond pony tail is leaning against the register, she doesn't even look up as I walk in,
"Ino?" She looks up, "Hey," I smile sweetly, "Remember me? From Narutos, anyway, I was told you had a wide social network right?" She nods slightly, I'm guessing to tired to talk, "Well I'm looking for someone who can erase memories, can you think of anyone? Or anyone who would know where to find someone like that?"
She sits in silence for a moment, I start to think she wasn't listening until she opens her mouth, "You want Ms. Hachi. She lives somewhere in the fire country's forest, she trained as a Ninja in konoha until she became a gennin, she then left to do more on her own. Or so it goes, she'd be around fifty now if she's still alive, last rumour I heard she was staying over the hill to the south, that was about... three months ago? But no one knows if she actually exists or is alive, some people say they remember her and others say she helped them but they could be lying. She also is medically self-trained and great with herbs and stuff. Why?"
"No reason, thanks." I call over my shoulder as I run out, Alright the others shouldn't be here for a few hours, hopefully I can find this woman and make her agree to help by then.
I came out of the wind at the clearing on the other side of the hill, looking up I could see a small cave, Well you got to start somewhere,I jumped up into the air and slowly made my way up to the cave, once there it was clear that human presence had been there about an hour before, but obviously had gone out somewhere.
"Hachi." My voice echos through the air, "Lady Hachi."
"What do you want? Leave me alone!" A croaked voice shouts back, without hesitation I start sprinting in the direction of the voice, thirty seconds later and a small white haired woman is kneeling on the ground picking herbs in front of me,
"Why would someone want to find an old hag like me? And who found me? No ones come looking for thirty-six years now, surely everyones forgotten me and I'm just a legend. Oh well, at least they left me alone." She's muttering under her breath,
"Are you Lady Hachi?" I ask in a hushed tone, don't want to scare her away,
"There goes that thought. Why don't they leave me alone?" She started muttering again,
"My name is Fuu, I might need your help."
"Why would I help you? Whats in it for me? Oh, I came here to get away from people."
"Please listen, it's for the kazekage."
"I don't wish to help the kazekage, he can get his own people to help him."
"He doesn't know I'm here. I'm asking you because I'm worried. I have plenty of money to give you."
"I don't need money, my life is a free one, everything I need is here in nature and I don't have to pay a dime for it. There is nothing you can offer me, I only look for knowledge, and someone as young as you can offer me none."
"As young as me? Granted, I was created only a few months back, but I look older than that do I not? Besides, I have access to all the information I could ever need, past, present, even future. Although I do not like what the future holds, it is my reason for being created and I am haunted by it every day."
"I do not believe you have any knowledge I would wish to have. Tell me what you wish to use me for though."
"The Kazekage is a jinchuriki. He has lost control recently because he was upset when he saw me like this." I take off my shirt to show all the wounds that still decorate my skin, "And he decided to put me into the chunnin exams, although I wasn't yet a gennin when he decided to. I have the ability to pass he believes, and I think I probably can to. But I'm worried someone might get me like they did before and he will loose control. So if that happened, I would wish for you to wipe it off peoples memories, he has worked to hard to have them be afraid again. I'm willing to pay you with all the knowledge I have and money and anything else you can think off before hand, whether it happens or not. So there is a fifty percent chance you will gain a lot and not have to do anything."
She doesn't say anything for a moment, "You say you were created a few months back, not born, and you look far older. Tell me your story as a start so I can know if you have any knowledge I would like, then I will decide and if I agree you tell me everything I wish to know."
"Fine." I sit crossing my legs, "This may take a little while." And I start my story, from remembering being in the wind, to arriving in konoha on a bench next to shikamaru, through to helping Temari, finding Daisuke all the way to getting here. Not once dropping anything about Chiyoko or disasters coming or any knowledge I know.
"You still haven't told me how you know anything though."
I sigh, "Fine, though this is knowledge in itself. There are spirits called the Chiyoko, as the name means, they are 'forever children' they are the souls of children who lost their lives to soon, or never got a chance to live. They are unable to go to heaven or to hell, if there is one, because they have not been able to prove themselves as good or bad, so they wander in the wind for hundreds of years, helping where they can until they are granted a place in heaven or hell. They created me to forfill a purpose, that I shall tell you about after you agree, so they talk to me."
"Fine, I'll help. I will come for the chunnin exams, but you will pay for my stay, and tell me everything about this purpose. That along with your story will be enough for I may not have to do anything."
"Arigato." I carried on my story.
~End flash back~
"Lady Hachi! To everyone but those I called to help, Geni, myself and Shikamaru Nara," I point to Shikie, "The hokage will want to talk to him about this at a guess." I call as an old woman stands from her seat,
"Who is lady Hachi?" Gaaras forehead creases,
"Just watch." I whisper as I stroke away the furrow in his brow. Hachi puts her left fist into her right open palm, then her knuckles and fingers in line facing down and finally her palms together, like a prayer, chakra flows around her, making her hair and ivory dress fly out,
"Wipe clean the slate of memories, for all those asembled here except for the five kages," She closes her fist in the direction of each kage, "The kazekage family," She closed her fist over where Dai, Temari, Kankuro and Matsuri, "The child genius, the assassin from the lightning," She grabbed at the air in Geni and Shikamarus directions, "The one who wished this Jutsu, and the one who weld it." She snatches at her self and me, throwing her arms out, Chakra flying over everyone in the form of small ivy-green leaves as the memory is wiped from all those presents minds. She sat quickly as the peoples eyes closed and they fell into a sleep state as the memory vanished from their existence.
"Everyone get back before they wake up." I shout at all the moved people. The all managed to get back as the viewers opened their eyes.
Geni just stands still, obviously in shock, I feel my knees go weak as I fall to the floor, a graze across my face, spilling an iron taste into my mouth.
"Match goes to Geni, get the girl medical care now!" Iruka shouts,
"No. She's the reason I'm alive. I give up."
"But she's down..." Iruka protested.
"I said I give up." Geni growled,
"Match to Fuu of the sand." Iruka says in confusion,
"Stupid girl, they don't remember what happened." I mutter as I pass out.
I woke up in a white room, more like large cubicle, on a hospital bed, Daisuke was curled up sleeping at the end of the bed, whilst Gaara was sitting in the chair next to me, staring out at the sky.
"Ohayo," I yawned as i strecthed my arms
"Konbanwa," came his cold reply,
"How long was I out for?"
"Only two hours. You need more sleep." His eyes finally left the window and looked at me, "Be careful. Don't let any one hurt you like that again, OK?"
I nodded as I yawned once again, "How... How was your... your meeting? Who is chunin?" I stammered as I struggled to keep my eyes open,
"The meeting has been moved to tomorrow because of todays... events..." I didn't get to hear anything else before I fell victim to the Villon that is commonly known by the name of sleep.
A/N: If anyone is actually reading this then I'm probably going to slow down a lot, because I now have about a three year gap to fill before the ending bit, with I have already planned. So if you are reading this you will have to nag me to get me to actually write anything, and you could help give me filler ideas? Well if you're reading this, which I think barely anyone is... I love you, x Oh and can anyone think of a better title for this chapter? Or any chapters? I can never think of titles XD love you x
