My eyes slowly begin to open as I look, or should I say, attempt to look at my dark surroundings. "Where am I," I ask myself, squinting my eyes. "It's total darkness," I hear someone from behind me whisper, "and be quiet, they're listening to us." By the sound if it, it's one of the twins probably. "Hey," I look, "um, whoever you are, aren't we the only two awake?" "No," I hear someone say, and from the sound of it, Bill, "I'm awake too, in fact, all of us are, but we can hear them listening to us, but by the sounds of it, it's only one person." I sigh a sigh of relief and slide down the wall, "So do you think that we can take them on?" " No, it'll be impossible," Joseph stands, "Taking all of them on, only because they have the book, but I actually have a plan for taking this one out." "First of all," Joseph says, "We have no magical properties on us now, and for the four of us who're ninja, Akira, Harland, Elizabeth and I, it should be easy to punch a door down. But for the less fortunate," he points at us, "Will have to follow us." I sigh. Josephs right, we have no experience of being ninja, at all.
Joseph claps his hands together, and closes his eyes. "Earth Style: Tunneling Mud Jutsu." All of a sudden, the floor turns soft, wet, and muddy. About three mud wads fly at the door, causing it to melt, Harland is the first to jump out of the whole and punches the Akatsuki member who seems to be Kisame. "Poof." Harland backs up as the clone explodes, "Crap, it's a clone. They know we're out!" Akira grabs my arm and runs at super speed. Harland signals for us all to stop as he peers his head behind a hallway. "Hey, the book," he says, as he brings his tail from behind him and reaches for the book. Joseph stomps his cane on Harland's tail. "Ouch, you know that hurts? It's apart of my backbone." "It's a trap, look." We all slowly peek our heads our as Joseph makes a clone, than he puts his finger over his mouth. The clone slowly walks in to take the bait, than is attacked by a large number of needles. "Ahg!" Elizabeth and Akira both shout. "This isn't good at all," Harland says, "They know we got out, and they know were trying to get the book." Joseph nods, than closes his eyes and runs in the room, using his cane to block all of the incoming needles. "Looks like they're flowing in the same pattern," I hear him say to himself. Than he grabs the book and jumps a way. "Good job Joseph," Harland says while patting Joseph's back. I decide to comment him, after all, he has been helping us a lot, "Yeah, that's was actually_" before I can finish, Joseph's cane drops, along with the book. "Hey, what's_oh no, he was stabbed and it used some kind of poison," Akira says, looking at his back. Maya runs over and hold him, "The needle, it looks completely normal, and it didn't look like it really hit any vital points." "Than what's wrong with it?" Bill asks. Maya grabs hold of it and pulls it out of his arm, than drops it. "Shoot," she looks at her hand, "It's some kind of holy water or salt. Anything that can vanquish paranormal entities, at least that's my best guess." As they begin talking, I realize Josephs breathing is getting lighter and lighter. "Crap, guys, give him some room." I put my hand in between all of them, than remove the book from his hand. I open it to a bookmarked page.
"Salt and fennel, these both ward off evil spirit's," I say, reading the book. Elizabeth looks down, "He's not gonna make it, every knows that pure salt wards off evil spirits, along with fennel." "Wait, fennels used for healing too," I say, shaking him to wake him up. "Did you forget, we're not human?" Bill asks, backing away from Josephs body. His body turns a bright red, than slowly catches on fire. "JOSEPH!" we all scream, running towards him, but a force pushes us away, and his body is just gone.
I put my hands on my head and fall down, "This is…is_" "Not your fault," Harland says, "Calm down." Harland walks over and picks up Josephs cane and hands it to me. "No, I'm not taking this," I say, " I wanna be human again, now so many things can kill me. I wanna go home." "And just leave, we've already done enough to ourselves, I mean, you just saw what happened to Joseph, right?" Maya ask, "We can't go home, now that there's two souls that need to be found." I take a deep breath and take the cane. "Listen, when Joseph first saw you, we all knew he favored you most, now that he's dead, take his staff. It's a very powerful weapon," Harland says, "Now let's get out of here." I nod, and follow Harland, "Read the spell to give us our magik back." "Sure," I reply, reading the spell and returning our magik. April catches up to me than looks at the spot Joseph died at. "Hey, look, a pentacle," she points. That's a sign of witchcraft, and witchcraft comes from hell? So, is Joseph going to heaven…or hell?
"So, we have a lot of weaknesses, which makes us stronger than humans, but again, weaker," I say, scanning through the pages. "Right, meaning, we need to teach you guys how to be ninja," Harland smiles as he see's my face lighten up. "Really, all of us?" I ask, running to his side. "Well, there's three ninja, so it should be easy, besides, I've been a ninja for over two hundred -thirty-eight(238) years!" Wow, didn't know he was that old, "but first, we've gotta get out of this base, than find a reincarnation table some where." "Huh?" I look at him with a confused face. He hold up three fingers, "Only three left, and with these you can reincarnate anyone or anything. There used to be hundreds before the war, but they were all destroyed by ninja who thought they should be used as training grounds."
We can see a door right in front of us, but someone comes in front of it and folds his hands. "Earth Style: Four Salt Pillar jutsu." "Crap!" Harland says, falling to his knees. I'm lifted in the air by a hand, "I'll train her, and the demon can train the other four." Deep, dark, and shallow. None other than Itachi. "Itachi, put me down!" I shout, kicking and screaming. He hit's me in the head really hard, "It's Itachi sensei."
Liked it, well I did. Was really hard to right, review please. Have a nice week and God bless!
