Ten Tails of the Gods
Summary: She was normal. She had her perfections, her faults. She had a normal life, but something went horribly wrong...and now...a burden that could kill her is put upon her. With her friends with her, can she overcome this? Or will it kill her? She has only her friends, Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, Sakura and others, plus her half-brother, Neji, to help her…but will it be enough to save her?
Time placement: After the two year jump, but i didn't feel like putting some characters in their new outfits, so i just kept them the same. Tvs, phones, an stuff like that exists.
Notes to ya'll: Written in first person, of none other than Neji's sister herself. Jumps from person to person at times, so ya'll can see what they feel an think.
Pairings: Um...mainly, SasuxOc...NaruxHina...maybe a lil of...LeexSaku...and NejixTen or NejixOc.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or i wouldn't be writing FanFics. The only things i own are the Oc's and the plot.
Last time"PRESENT TIME!!!" I heard one of the girls yell and seconds later, everyone gathered around the couches, taking a seat somewhere and we all began to exchange presents. I wonder what I'm gonna get…
--XX--
Sasuke's Pov
Well, everyone got their own gifts and they seemed happy with them, though you never really can tell. So after that we all…well, actually the girls were the ones who started talking and eventually everyone got to talking about different subjects until I noticed almost everyone other than Ammy started to slur their words…and act really, really weird.
For example, my brother and Brianna. He fell down the stairs more than once and she…well…she conned me.
Flashback
So, I was letting the others open their presents, while I went off into the kitchen, getting some water. When I came back, Brianna had somehow made it down the steps (she also fell down once or twice thinking she could fly…) And I just watched as I passed her.
"Hey…you're Itachi's brother, right?" She asked, putting a small bottle to her mouth.
"Yeah…"
"Well, I can read palms…$10 for both." Her eye twinkled.
"Sure, why not…it can't hurt…" I shrugged my shoulders. What could it hurt?
So, I got my palm read by Brianna, remembering that she had been here once before, and that Kyoko mentioned something about her being trained by Madame, so I figured I could trust her.
She giggled and smiled, reading some lines, while others she said something like, "Oh…that's good…" Then sometimes she'd say, "That's even better!" But she eventually finished, in which she smiled, took my ten I gave her, turned around and started to head up the stairs.
"Hey, wait a minute!! Aren't you gonna tell me?!" I yelled, as she turned back around.
She smiled sweetly, "Well, you paid me ten dollars to read your palm, not to tell you. So, if you want me to tell you, I need another ten."
And I just remembered that…"Well…I don't have anymore cash…"
"Too bad. Was pretty good, too. You're in for a good life, kid. Just watch for any…big troubles." She headed back up the stairs. WHY!! Why couldn't I have another ten!!! This sucks…
End Flashback
But, yeah, so everyone was acting really strange. I mean, even Kyoko acts weird on occasion, but this was different. It's like she's…dru…nk…
Aw, man.
"Hey, Sasuke…" Ammy pulled me off to the side of everyone, whispering. "I think-"
"Someone spiked the punch? Yeah, I figured. Kyoko's never acted this strange." I finished.
"What made you think she was acting?"
I gave her a skeptical look. "I don't know…" I answered as she laughed.
"Well…we should send everyone home then…we don't want them getting drunker." She pointed out. "And it's after 1am."
I sighed. "Yeah I know. Don't worry about sending people home; I'll take care of that. Can you make sure everyone has their stuff?"
She nodded. "Sure." She turned, heading to the tree and all of the unopened gifts, but turned back. "Umm…just to let you know…if you think she's acting strange now, wait just a little bit…" She smiled and walked away. Wonder what she means by that…
So I went over to Kyoko, who seemed out of it, laughing hysterically at something that wasn't all that funny, and almost falling off the couch. When Temari pointed over at me, she looked over, eyes wide.
"'Ello…poppet!!" She said, smiling. Why the hell does she have a British accent? She's not British… I sighed. I just need to put up with her…just for a little bit….
"Hey." I sat next to her as she put her arms around my neck. "We should send everyone home, Kyo."
She frowned. "B…but…"
"It's after 1 am. You'll never get up tomorrow." I put my finger on her nose, which she focused on.
"Mmkay." Her eyes opened and closed slightly, still quite focused on my finger.
Seconds later, she was standing, or trying to…heading over to the punch table. She refilled her drink and headed over to Neji, who was currently with Rao. Just to make sure she was okay, I headed over to her.
"Hey, Rao."
"Hey, what's up?" She replied.
"HIII!!" Out of nowhere, Neji popped up, scaring all of us. "I'm NEJI." He pointed to himself.
Kyoko and Rao both snickered, but ignored him, full knowing that he was drunk. "Well, we're gonna send everyone home, so I was wondering if you'd stay the night with the…um…" Kyoko looked over at Neji, who sat on the floor, holding his feet and smiled insanely at her and Rao.
"HIIIII!!!" He repeated.
"With…well…him. He shouldn't be too much trouble. Just give him some of my make-up and pray to God he doesn't burn down the house." Kyoko finished.
This made Rao smile. "Sure, hun…but…I can't carry him…"
Kyoko looked back from the demented Neji, "I know. I'm having Kuroi take him and you. He'll get you situated, then come back here."
Her eyes went a little wide. "Oh…that's better…I can handle that…"
"Yeah…so…I'll help to get your stuff together…since…" They both looked over at Neji. He smiled back, waving his hand frantically.
"HIIII!"
We all snickered, as they headed off to get their stuff together, while I walked away to get others to go home.
--XX--
Ten minutes later, everyone had their things together; jackets on, boxes of presents, bags of things without boxes and…someone who wasn't too drunk.
Take for example, Lee and Sakura. Amazingly enough, it wasn't Lee who was wasted out of his mind…it was Sakura, though, he was a tiny bit drunk.
"Thanks for inviting us." Lee said, holding the bag of boxes (provided by Kyoko since Lee would also be taking Sakura and needed one hand empty) in one hand, and having his other hand around her waist.
"Sure. You gonna get home alright?"
He looked away for a second and looked back, as Sakura stared at me. It's kinda freaky…
"Wel-"
"YA KNOW?" Sakura interrupted loudly, looking back at Lee. She then pointed at me. "HIS HAIR LOOKS LIKE A DUCK'S BUTT." Others in the room including Kyoko and Sakura herself started laughing.
"Sorry about her…" Lee started, speaking over Sakura's laugh. "Well, I am just taking her back to her apartment and staying with her. Obviously…we don't know what she could do right now…"
I still looked at her, who, every time she looked at me, started laughing. "Don't worry about it. Let's just hope she doesn't remember anything. Merry Christmas."
He nodded, taking a couple steps to the door. "Merry Christmas!"
"MERRY CHRISTMAS DUCK BUTT DUDE HAIR THINGY!!!" Sakura continued to yell, before they vanished into a poof of smoke. Thank god she's gone…
After they left, Temari and Shikamaru left with Kankuro following closely behind his sister, standing right in the middle of the two who shared more than a couple glances the whole night… So…who else is here? Naruto, Hinata…Ammy…Rao…Neji…Sai… Brianna…Itachi, wait he lives here…I guess Chouji left already…Maybe he took Ino with him…Good riddance…
"Neji!!! Here boy!!! Come here!!!" Kyoko and Rao both clapped their hands, slowly walking over to the door. He came a few seconds later, panting and sitting in between the two girls. He looked back and forth between the two and barked. He barked. A chunin, a genius…and a dog? Wow…I guess this stuff happens when you're drunk.
"Don't worry, Rao. He'll be okay." Kyoko patted his head, which she received a bark from her older brother.
"..." She looked down at Neji. "I don't know about that…"
About a second later Kuroi trotted over, pushing Neji away and sitting in his spot. Neji then growled at Kuroi, who sat there holding his head high.
"Be nice." Kyoko scolded to both of them, getting a cry from both. "Now, Kuroi, can you take Neji and Rao back home for me?" She asked, kneeling to her dog and looking him square into his big blue eyes.
He barked, licking her face. "Thank you, sweets. And come back when they get situated, okay?"
He barked again, standing up as she did. She then turned to Neji, putting her hands on her knees. "Neji?" He looked at her, panting and cocking his head. "Can you…be human now?"
"Awww…do I hafta?" He whined, eyes as big as a child's.
"Yeah. You need to go home." She continued sweetly. I'm surprised that she's drunk. She's not acting like it… But Neji stood up, cracking his fingers and just about falling over. Though, Kuroi caught him before he could fall onto the floor and…he passed out.
Kyoko sighed, looking over at Rao. "You sure you're set?"
"Yeah, we'll be fine." Rao glanced over at Neji. "Yeah. I'll call if I have any troubles."
"Mmkay." Kyoko opened the door for them as they left. "Bye, guys!!"
"Bye!!"
Soon after Rao and Neji left, Naruto and Hinata gladly took Ammy and Brianna (who really didn't want to go) back home, and went home themselves. And so the only remaining people who were in the house were Kyoko, Itachi, Sai and myself. But truthfully, it seemed as if it were just Kyoko and me, because both Sai and Itachi were passed out. How I knew?
Well, Itachi fell down the stairs, landed on the landing and didn't move at all.
Sai was on the couch, just lying there.
I might as well start cleaning up…cause it's not gonna go away…or poof somewhere…though we'd all like it to.
THUD!!
What the? …I dropped whatever I was holding and looked over at the source of the sound. Kyoko had pulled Sai off the couch, resulting in the thud and began to pull him toward the door.
"Kyoko…" I started, walking over to her while she still dragged him to the door. "What are you doing?"
She didn't answer, but huffed to the door, opened it and pulled him out onto the landing, came back in and shut the door. "I'm sending him home." She replied, slurring her words together.
I watched her stumble away. "B…but…you can't just leave him there."
She turned back around, setting her hands on her hips. "I can." She spun around and…slipped. She fell right on her butt, hitting her head and landing with an, "Umf!"
Calmly but quickly, I went over to her. "Are you okay?"
Her eyes opened slowly, while she just lay there, looking. "Hah." She tried her hardest to lift her hand and point at me. "Duck…butt…" She grinned ear-to-ear, eyes wide.
I shook my head. "Okay, okay, time to get up."
She sat up and tried to stand, failing miserably. I guess the hit to the head brought the drunkenness out, huh? Before she hit the ground again, though, I grabbed her and hauled her to her feet. She pushed away, heading toward the stairs.
Oh, that can't be good. Her going up the stairs while she was drunk? Not good.
"Nigh, nigh…" She murmured, grabbing the railing. I rushed over stepping on the first step, blocking her path.
"No. No, "nigh, nigh"." I mimicked, grabbing her shoulders and shaking her until she looked me in the eyes. "You're drunk, okay? I don't want you killing yourself on the stairs."
She didn't seem to hear me, saying, "But…sleep…nigh, nigh." She protested, eyes low but open.
I thought for a second. "Okay, how about this? I'll take like…five minutes to take care of Sai," Since you can't leave him on our landing, "And then, I'll take you upstairs so you don't hurt yourself, alright?"
Her eyes closed. "Mm-hm." But, she didn't move. She stayed there, teetering back and forth. "Nigh, nigh." She tried to take a step forward.
"I don't think so." Grrr…I can't blame her…I rolled my eyes, sighing. Moving her myself was the only way to deal with this. So, I picked her up and walked over to the couch, put her down and said, "STAY.HERE."
She slipped back, leaning on the back of the couch. "Mm-hm."
Well…she seems alright…so I headed to the front door, opening it and finding Sai on the landing, still completely passed out.
Wait. I don't know where he lives…does anyone? Ah, hell…what do I do with him now? I simply stared at him in utter defeat. What am I gonna do? Oh, I know!!
It was pretty simple, what I had thought. He would be hidden, he wouldn't get hurt, he could head home without anyone knowing. So, I picked him up and threw him in the bushes next to the landing.
"Night, Sai." After shutting the door and locking it, I went back to the couch –
Holy crap…where'd she go now?!
I looked around frantically, trying to find he – I sweat dropped. She had gotten up, stumbled over to the stairs and was halfway up them. And just like that, she yawned, whining almost inaudibly and slowly leaned backward.
"Ky-" I ran over to the steps as fast as I could, which is pretty fast, used the railing as a pivot point and bounded up a couple steps. I guess I was a little too fast, catching her before she "fell" fell, but that's almost never a bad thing…
"Hiii…" She said, looking up at me with these big light blue eyes.
"Kyoko…what did I tell you before?" I asked, walking a step up and setting her back on her feet, but still keeping a cautious eye.
She looked around, twiddling her fingers, saying, "Uuuuummmmm…" Then, oh boy, the ceiling caught her eye and she started leaning backward again.
I sighed. This was going to be a long morning. The girl couldn't be left alone; she'd find some way to get into trouble. So, before she could fall the whole way back, I caught her again and picked her up.
She happily threw her arms around my neck. "Yay!!! I get a ride!!!" She yelled.
"Yeah, yeah. Time for "nigh, nigh"." I started walking up the steps.
She gasped loudly. "Really?! Nigh, nigh?!"
"Yes…but, you're gonna sleep with me, okay?" You're too drunk to be left alone… I wanted to say, which she wouldn't really remember, but I was tired too.
Her eyes went wide and she gasped again. "REALLY?!"
I nodded.
"YAY!!! I love sleeping with you!!!" She threw her head back, looking down the hallway.
"Really, now?" This is interesting…she's never said anything before…and if she did… I don't remember.
She pulled her head back up and looked at me. "Yep." She shut her eyes and nuzzled my neck. "It's warm and smells good."
I chuckled, opening the door to my room and stepping inside. And then the thought grasped my mind – If she's drunk…how's she gonna change for bed?
"Can I borrow your clothes?" She asked, her head still on my neck. It was the most sensible question she'd asked in the last 30 minutes.
"Ummm…sure."
So, I put her down, in which she staggered to my dresser, grabbed what she wanted and went into the bathroom. And after she finished, I got changed. But, while in the bathroom…I heard some strange things from outside…And when I came out of the bathroom, I should've known better.
Kyoko was sitting on the floor right next to the door, looking at the crevice between the door and the floor. From the shadows I could tell something was there, sniffing and whining – Kuroi.
Kyoko looked back at me a couple seconds after I got out and pointed at the door. "Doggie!!"
I sighed, shutting my eyes momentarily. "I know." So, I went over to the door and opened it. Before I even got an inch opened, Kuroi shoved his nose in the opening and pushed his way through. After falling over, I heard giggles. So, shutting the door with my foot since I was now on the ground, and found the two of them, Kuroi and Kyoko, together. He was licking her face and she was giggling trying to get him stop.
I must say though, it was one of those moments where you just wanted to go, "AWWW."
But…I didn't. A little too girly for me.
"Okay, okay, time for bed." I said, standing up and looking at the two.
They did stop, but looked up at me. "Doggie?" Kyoko asked, with the most innocent, kid like expression I'd ever seen. Even Kuroi had the kid face.
I sighed. This is not how I had imagined it. I didn't even know that I put alcohol in anyone's drinks. Looking away, "Alright, but he can't hog the bed."
"Yay!!" She jumped up and bounded over to the bed, got in, and snuggled under the covers. Kuroi followed his owner, except, he didn't get under the covers.
Note to self…never give her alcohol again. But, I was too tired to care anymore. Even if my kitchen was on fire I think I'd still be sleeping. I just don't care.
So, I went to bed, pushing Kuroi's head off my pillow and fell asleep.
Rao's Pov
Hmmm…nothing on tv…like always…See, we got in a couple minutes ago…but Kuroi put Neji in his room, in which Kyoko told me not to bother him. I wonder why, though…
So I went into Kyoko's room, borrowing some of her clothes for tonight, since I really didn't have anything.
BANG!!!
"Uh-oh…" What's that? I got up, left Kyoko's room cautiously, walking to where the sound started, which was guess where? Yes, it was Neji's room. So, I put my hand on the doorknob…but…should I really open it? Maybe just a peak…
AHHHHH!!!!!!!! OUCH!!!!!!!!
"Rao…" I got up, rubbing my back and…oh…my…god… The door was open just an inch and what stared at me, scared me. It was Neji, obviously. He stared through the opening of the door and I could tell the area around his eye was bright pink and the area around his lips was blue. And I couldn't help but laugh at him. "Rao…" He said again.
Through laughs and the fact that I couldn't stop laughing I replied, "Yes, Neji?"
The door shut and I heard tapping; a second later, the door opened back up again, only an inch and he appeared…well, more like his eye appeared. In the most kid-like voice he said, "I ran out of make-up."
Oh, Kyoko told me about this…"I'm sorry, Neji…there's no more make-up." She didn't want me to give him anymore make-up cause the rest is hers…
The door opened a little more. "W…wha…wha?" His bottom lip quivered and his eyes went glossy. "What d'ya…" He blinked a couple times. "B…bu…but…"
I can't believe Neji Hyuuga started to cry. I had to do something…THAT'S IT!!! "I can make some popcorn!!!" I screamed over his sobbing.
He immediately stopped and looked at me, opening the door even wider. "Popcorn?"
"Yes…"
A smile crept on his face. "Can I pick a movie?" He asked, eyes wide.
"Uhhh…sure!" I replied, shrugging my shoulders.
"YAY!!!" He smiled as big as he could and jumped up and down, running down the hall and sliding into the living room.
So, I went into the kitchen and made the popcorn, meeting Neji in the living room. He was sitting on the floor, three movie cases out in front of him as he stared at them.
"Neji…what are you doing?" I asked, sitting on the couch, setting the popcorn bowl in my lap.
He looked backed at me. "I can't pick which movie I want to watch…so we're gonna watch all three!!!"
"Ok-"
"At the same time!!!" He continued.
I blinked. "Uh…Neji…" He picked all three up and walked over to the DVD player. "You can only play one at a time." I pointed out, in which he turned around and gave me the evil eye. "But…we can watch all three, separately, if you want." I covered up quickly, afraid that he would freak out.
"YAY!!!" He jumped up, putting the DVD in and bounding over to the couch.
--XX--
I yawned…what time is it? Ah, who cares…
"Neji?" I asked, seeing that the second movie was over and I was extremely tired. But, there was no answer. "NEJI!" I screamed.
Still, no answer…so, I looked over at him…awwwww…how cute…except for the make up… You see, he was curled up at the end of the couch with a pillow, fast asleep. FINALLY.
So, I got up, shut off the dvd player, all of the lights, made sure the doors were locked and went into Kyoko's room. I locked the door, just in case and went to bed – OMG…it's 4 in the morning…god…I'll never get up tomorrow…but…that's not a bad thing…is it?
--XX--
Kyoko's Pov
Mmmmnnn….wow…my head hurts…wait…where am I?
BBBRRRIIINNNGGGG!!!!
I sat straight up, looking around.
BBBRRRIIINNNGGGG!!!!
"Who the hell…"
"Waahh!!!" I grabbed the covers and yanked them my way, hearing a thump right afterward. A string of many…colorful curses followed. So, keeping the covers tightly in my hand, I crept to the edge of the bed and looked over the edge. Oh…heheheheh… I smiled.
"Hi." I said, bringing his black eyes to meet my own.
A smile crept onto his lips. "Good morning."
BBBRRRIIINNNGGGG!!!!
We both looked over at his nightstand.
"I'll get it." Still lying there, I switched hands with the covers and reached over to the phone. "Hello?"
"Is this the Uchiha Residence?" I did not recognize the voice, but as I opened my mouth to answer, I watched as Sasuke got up, got back on the bed and sat next to me.
"Yes, this is the Uchiha residence. Who is-"
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU KIDS HOLDING LAST NIGHT?!?!?!?" Her voice screeched as I held out the phone and still heard her voice. Sasuke looked back and forth between myself and the phone.
"Who is it?" He mouthed.
I shrugged my shoulders, bringing the phone closer to me again. As calm as I could, I asked, "May I ask who's calling?"
"This is Sakura's mother and I'm disgusted by your irresponsibly!!!" She shouted.
"It's Sakura's mom." I mouthed to Sasuke. "Umm…Haruno-san, can I ask why you're disgusted?" I tried not to giggle, being that Sasuke had decided to run his finger up and down my neck.
"I was waiting for my daughter in her apartment to come home last night, making sure she was set in her new home," She explained. "And when she came home with her "boyfriend" that Lee guy, she was wasted!!! I can't believe you let her leave like that!!!" She yelled once more, making me cringe under the sound. Just as I was about to speak again, Sasuke took the phone.
"Well, excuse me, Haruno-san, you can call us irresponsible, but that last thing that you need to remember is that your daughter willingly drank what she had. If she didn't want to be wasted, she woudn't've drunken it. So you may call us irresponsible, but just remember…we don't control your daughter's actions. Good day." He handed the phone to me and motioned for me to hang up. So, I reached over to the stand and hung up, but before I could turn back around, I was pushed over onto someone's pillow. Then a hand crept around my waist and someone pulled me closer to him. "Nigh, nigh." He whispered in my ear, taking a deep breath.
Why does that sound so familiar?
Yes, i know. You'd probably all like to hit me right now because i haven't kept updating for awhile. And, trust me, you don't need to beat me, i'm already beating myself(Menatly, not physically).
