Chapter 49:
Rin was glaring at Raksha as they finished up with the barrier again, she was still glaring as the high pitched chiming resonated around the area and the barrier went up.
The barrier surged before before absorbed into the walls and concrete flooring, as the barrier was disappearing it brought the ufadas and sutras along with them. "you guys had to jinx it didn't you" Rin growled at Raksha who scratched her head nervously, the rest of the group were glaring at her as she laughed nervously "well its not my fault!" she cried out.
Everyone collapsed around the circle, looking up at the brightening sky as the sun went up. as soon as the sun was high in the sky, its rays was in their eyes and they groaned before rolling over and getting up painfully.
"why does putting a barrier this powerful have to be so…." Rin asked and another person in the group asked "painful?" Raksha rolled her eyes and said "more like… tedious…" Rin nodded at Raksha before turning to everyone else and grinned "now that that's over with, i'm sure you would like to go home to your families, we wont have to do this for another little while. Hopefully after this year, the whole ninja world wont decide to use Akuma as their place of exams."
Raksha wacked Rin upside the head and hissed out "DON'T JINX IT!" Rin whined and rubbed her head. "don't be mean Raksha." She said almost childishly as they were left alone on the platform at the roof of the arena. Raksha walked around and looked into each arena. "this is impressive…" she said in awe and Rin smirked.
"thank you, I made it myself!" Raksha rolled her eyes and looked over at Rin. "come on, we have another few hours yet before everyone will be here for the exams. Why don't we go get breakfast?" Rin slumped forward and said in a sullen voice "I hope hidan doesn't give Akira food poisoning." Raksha raised her eyebrow at Rin and chuckled.
"well I know Tenzou knows how to cook for himself…" Raksha said as she looked up at the sky thoughtfully. Rin sighed, "kagome always cooked for the akatsuki…" Raksha shrugged. "well I know Tenzou was in ANBU, so his skillset is rather impressive. Cooking is something minor compared to everything else."
Rin shook her head and grabbed Raksha before disappearing in a flare of flames. They appeared in a restruant in the commercial district and the waitress who was setting up for the day jumped and yelped, nearly dropping a pail of water full of suds and a rag.
Raksha and Rin sweat dropped and gave a closed eye smile "sorry for startling you…" they said apologetically and the waitress glared at them before pointing to the seat they were on "that have better not scorch!" Rin rolled her eyes.
The waitress served them coffee and wrote down their orders before scurrying off to the kitchen to give the slip to the chef. Rin raised an eyebrow at Raksha "since when did you start eating pancakes Raksha?" she asked and Raksha huffed at her.
"well sorry, but not everyone eats a basic breakfast of toast, bacon and eggs. But moreso, why do you eat poached eggs? And if your going to eat all that than don't bother me about ordering pancakes because you ordered a side of waffles!"
Rin sweat dropped and sighed before slumping forward. "my pancakes are no different than your waffles!" Raksha said as she sipped her coffee, glaring at Rin from over the rim of the cup.
Rin started to laugh and said "maybe, we shouldn't be one to talk. Considering how big of an order we put in…" Raksha laughed with Rin and nodded in agreement.
With Hidan and Akira
Akira was glaring at Hidan with a twitching eye after she put out the fire in the kitchen, she wasn't a morning person…
To make matters worse, she woke up to the smell of smoke and burnt toast so she immediately rushed over to the kitchen and nearly screamed when she saw hidan struggling to put out a fire…
The eggs in the pan that was on fire was beyond salvation and the toast was burning, the sink was running with a jug of diluted juice in it and the coffee was burning over a pot as Akira sighed and pushed hidan out of the kitchen.
She put out the fire, turned off the sink and garbage the burnt toast, after she finished scrapping the remains of the eggs out of the pan she was now standing in the doorway of the kitchen with a nervous hidan looking in.
"explain." Akira said and hidan tried to open his mouth only for Akira to put up a hand and said "on second thought, nevermind.." she said as she went inside the kitchen with Hidan following her soon after. "it's a good thing mom taught me how to cook a while back." rin said as she took out a new pan and placed it on the burner as she collected some ingredients.
She pointed a knife to the cabinets near the fridge and said "set up the table." Hidan started grumbling as he took some plates, forks and knives and set up the table. Akira handled him a new jug with fresh squeezed orange juice and hidan grabbed some glasses before placing it onto the table.
Akira finished cutting up some green onions and peppers and went to whisking eggs for omelets, she put in some ingredients that kagome-senpai told her would go great with it and put the peppers and green onions into it before pouring a little into the pan.
Akira went over to the fridge and took out some cheese and butter, she placed a bit of butter onto a new pan and placed a thick slice of bread over it before putting cheese on top of the bread and went to the pot of coffee.
She looked into it and shook her head before pouring it and preparing a new pot of coffee, she went over to the pan and flipped the omelet and took it out before putting it on a serving plate, she poured the rest onto the pan as she cut up the omelet on the serving plate and took the bread with cheese on top and putting it onto another plate.
She did the same and grinned down at the cheese before looking over at her father and putting some wasabi underneath the cheese and nodded.
She went to the pot of coffee and looked before sighing and taking the last omlete and putting it onto the serving plate with the other and cutting it up, before putting them onto a tray she grabbed two cups and poured some coffee and smiled blissfully when she smelled the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
She left it on the counter before taking the tray with the bread and omletes, she went into the dining area and put her bread near her plate and put her fathers near his and put the omletes in middle of the table, she went back into the kitchen and put a serving cup of cream and some sugar cubes onto the tray and took the coffee.
She went into the dining area and sweat dropped when she saw her dad enjoying the bread with the cheese and wasabi on it. "when did you learn to make this Akira?" he asked in between bites and grinned at her "it taste amazing!" Akira glared at him and placed the coffee in front of hidan and the cream and sugar near the omletes and sitting down with her coffee.
Hidan looked over and snickered "make sure you don't let Rin find out that you drink coffee, she disapproves of you drinking it." Akira stuck out her tongue at him "if she finds out, ill just blame you." Hidan choked on his coffee before forcing it down and patting his chest.
"BUT SHE WILL KILL ME!" hidan cried out and Akira smiled innocently "well than, I guess we better make sure she doesn't find out than." Akira said as she grabbed some chopsticks and took some omlete slices and putting it on her own plate. She sipped her coffee as she used the chopsticks to cut the omlete slices into smaller pieces.
Akira had the omlete slice halfway to her mouth when she sweat dropped at how fast hidan was eating. "slow down dad, your going to choke." As if on que, hidan started choking and he gulped down orange juice and slammed the empty cup down onto the table with a sigh. Akira rolled her eyes when hidan grabbed more and she went back to eating.
Once she finished the omlete she ate her bread with a thoughtful look on her face and looked down at it "dad, if you're the one who is going shopping next. Make sure you pick up some ham along with more vegetables. We are going to need more coffee soon too. And I would like some ingredients for waffles too" hidan groaned and took out a notepad and pen and started writing it down.
Akira finished up and sat back on her chair as she drank her coffee and smirked down at the cup. "you know, its been a while since I last had coffee. Moms usually home in the mornings so i'm not able to sneak in a cup." Hidan snickered at Akira and looked over at her "you should be glad that she is going to such lengths to take care of you Akira. Both her and me care for you a great deal. We don't want you to stunt your growth."
Akira rolled her eyes and looked off to the side as hidan said in a gentle voice "just… don't drink coffee as much okay? All that caffeine isn't good for your growing body." Akira sighed and nodded as she finished her cup "don't worry about me dad." Akira said as her and hidan started to clear the table.
Akira looked at the clock and sighed "you do the dishes, I have to go meet up with our sensei." Hidan nodded and called out to akira "remember Akira, if Itachi and Kisame do something they shouldn't be doing or if they are pushing you too hard during training than tell me! I wouldn't mind sacrificing their sorry asses to jashin-sama!"
Akira rolled her eyes as she ran out the door and called out "why don't you say the same thing about kagome-senpai!?" in the kitchen hidan accidently cut himself on a knife when he heard that and swore. "that's because kagome is too fucking scary, I mean… its not like shes even a fucking girl for crying out loud! Considering her fucking attitude and her fucking temper. That bitch has problems…" hidan grumbled to himself as he dressed the wound and put the dishes away.
At the arena kagome was talking with the kages and their attendants when she sneezed and nearly spilled her cup of coffee and Madara looked over. "are you alright kagome? You've been sneezing a lot lately…" he said in a worried tone as kagome waved him off with a nervous laugh "i'm fine!" she said and he shrugged.
Madara leaned down and whispered in her ear "once the exams are over, I am taking you far away from here so that we can spend some alone time together" he gently bit her earlobe making her shiver, she turned around and kissed him before saying in a smug voice. "your only saying that because you want time off of duties for a while."
Madara groaned and glared at her and she smiled at him innocently making his face soften, Kakashi pushed through the crowd near the door and grinned at kagome "there you are!" he said and they turned to him. Kakashi froze when he saw madaras glare and shrugged it off. "i'm told that the kages have the best seat in the house for the exams!"
Madara took a step forward and growled at Kakashi and Kakashi turned to madara before saying dismissively "shouldn't you be somewhere?" Madara froze and kagome turned to him with a smirk "his right mate, you have to go to your safe house with the rest of the old farts." Madara groaned and said in a sullen voice "don't make me goooo…."
Kakashi laughed and grabbed kagomes arm before steering her away and said over his shoulder "have fun, ill be sure to relay the battles and the genins matches with you!" Madara glared before disappearing in his light orb. Kagome looked at Kakashi through the corner of her eye as he steered her through the crowd.
"you know you can let go of my arm now bakashi." Kakashi fell over anime style "how much longer are you going to keep calling me bakashi?" he asked in a whiney voice only for kagome to laugh "when you prove to me that you've grown up." she said looking up pointedly at his pink hair and he huffed.
Gaaras face lightened up when he saw kagome and Kakashi heading for him, a small smile was tugging at him as he looked at a chattering tamari and slowly tried to scoot out of there only for tamari to reach out and grab his arm, she dragged him right back to his spot without pausing in her conversation.
Kagome giggled and tamari looked over surprised. "KAGOME! KAKASHI!" she abandoned the conversation she was in and dragged gaara with her to see kagome. Tamari looked around and said slightly disappointed "wheres Madara?" gaara and kagome glared at tamari and Kakashi raised his eyebrow at her.
"Madara had to go with the other feudal lords" kagome simply said and tamari nodded before grinning and grabbing kagome and dragging kagome and gaara to the balcony that overlooks the areanas.
Tamari and kagome saw there the genins were being ushered into the first arena with Rin as she went over final rules with each genins and explained the matches and layout of the buildings. Kagome raised an eyebrow when they saw there there were already crowds over in the stands and gaara looked over.
Kakashi looked at gaara "does it bring back some memories?" Kakashi asked gaara and gaara nodded as kagome rolled her eyes at Kakashi who was looking into the crowds with suspicion and tamari elbowed Kakashi "watch it old man. I don't want you starting something you cant finish." Tamari said, mistaking what he said as a jab at the sand for betraying the leaf.
Kakashi was rubbing his side as he winced, "I think you bruised my ribs…" Kakashi said with a wince and kagome laughed at kakashi before looking over at gaara who was looking down at the genins with a worried expression. "whats wrong gaara?" kagome asked him and gaara shook his head.
"i'm just worried, as all." Gaara said and kagome looked into the crowd of genins before blinking in surprise "isn't that the genins you taught?" kagome asked pointing at some sand shinobi who was standing in a group with the leaf and akuma shinobis and gaara nodded.
Tamari looked at gaara with a weird expression and kagome saw that gaara didn't even notice it. Kagome shrugged and brushed it off as she looked down and rolled her eyes when her genins were trying to see over the crowd to Rin and she almost giggled when leaf shinobi lifted them onto their shoulders.
"I think they are going to have some disadvantages in terms of height here…" Kakashi laughed "you bet, even Naruto is taller than they are!" down in the crowd Naruto shivered and glared around making souta look down and ask "whats wrong?" Naruto shook his head "I don't know, I had this feeling that someone was just talking about me… about my height maybe?" souta laughed "your crazy" he said.
Kagome had a worried look in her eyes making gaara lift up a hand and try to take a step forwards only for him to watch as Kakashi bumped his hip against kagome and say in a gruff voice "you don't have to worry soo much koneko, your genins will be fine!" kagome looked up at Kakashi and asked in a small voice "are you sure?" Kakashi nodded and said "they will be fine, they are strong and happen to take after you."
Tamari snickered and said "if your soo worried kagome than maybe your beginning to doubt your teachings along with Itachi and kisames…" kagome shook her head and said "I just feel like maybe… maybe I shouldn't let them go through with this" gaara looked at kagome surprised and said "this is something they want kagome. Being a shinobi has its risks, you should know" kagome nodded gravely and Kakashi put his arm around her shoulder before turning around and going back into the building so that they can watch from the windows inside.
Tamari looked over at gaara and said gently "you should listen to your own advice gaara, your genins are going through this of their own free will. You've taught them all that you could in the time that you were their sensei." Gaara nodded and they followed Kakashi and kagome inside.
With the genins
Down at the crowd Akira and Misaki started to fight and they were trying to claw and punch at each other, they were on top of sakura and inos shoulders as sakura and ino almost tittered off to the side. Sakura and ino lost their balance and almost fell over until umoi and his group settled them and Akira took one look at umoi before scoffing "I thought candy was for children." Akira said as Misaki glared at her.
Umoi smiled and held up a lollipop asking "why, do you want one?" sakura was glaring up at Akira for being rude to others as Akira had hearts for eyes and said "YAY!" she grabbed the lollipop and put it into her mouth before sighing in content and Misaki pouted down at umoi making him sweat drop and hold up another one.
Misaki looked at it and grinned "I didn't know you like grape." She said only for umoi to scratch his head and laugh nervously "I like pretty much any flavors, though my favorite ones are the pink ones." Souta and kenta looked down and scrunched their faces and Naruto laughed "hey, i'm sure pinks not that bad." He said to souta only for kenta to grunt and say "sorry, but pinks a girly color." Akira glared at the boys and umoi sighed and held up two pink lollipops.
Souta and kenta looked at the lollipops in disgust and umoi shrugged "hey if you don't want it than I can keep it to myself." Souta and kenta swiped the offered candy and popped them into their mouths, they looked down at umoi in surprise and he nodded. "good isn't it?" Misaki rolled the lollipop in her mouth and looked down at umoi.
"why are they different?" umoi shuffled nervously and Akira glared "YOUR NOT TRYING TO DRUG US ARE YOU!?" sakura gasped in surprise and umoi started shaking his hands. "NO NO NO NO NO its not like that!" he cried out, noticing that other people were watching them.
He scratched his head nervously and said "how should I put this?" Akira looked at him suspiciously and they blinked when he sighed and said "I happen to be proficient in sword fighting along with being a master in lightning style jutsus, since both require quite a bit of chakra I developed my own kind of 'food pills' that take the form of lollipops. Ive been fond of the candy growing up and since I have to have them constantly to keep up my storages of chakra I decided to make them this way." sakura looked at the lollipop in umois mouth and nodded in understanding.
"do you have a certain recipe for it?" sakura tried to ask slyly with what she thought was a sexy smile, umoi and the genins shivered in barely contained disgust and Akira wacked sakuras head "watch it sleezebag, I don't want your uselessness to rub off on me." Sakura had a tickmark and glared at Akira "I can drop you." Sakura said to akira and was surprised when the little genin said "go ahead."
Umoi was looking on in shock when sakura let go of Akira and Akira was starting to fall off her shoulder, he rushed forward to catch the little genin only to hold up a hand to hide his face as a bright flash of light burst out from Akira and Misaki sighed when she saw Akira flying on her fiery wings.
Souta growled out "don't burn us!" and Akira rolled her eyes "don't worry, I started to get that under control…" kenta looked over and raised an eyebrow "started?" Akira nodded and grinned "yea, i'm getting the hang of it…" Misaki blinked and said "so that means you might end up burning us anyways?" Akira laughed nervously and nodded slowly.
Umoi grabbed akiras ankles and pulled her down so that she can sit on his shoulders and she yelped when she looked down. Umoi said "just… put them away… i'm not fond of getting burned, if I get burned than that means ill fail the last examinations when I came soo close… when that happens than it might reflect badly on lord killer B, if that happens than killer B might get in trouble with the raikage. When the raikage is not happy than he might start some trouble among our shinobi, possibly causing a civil war with two sides fighting to defend killer B or the raikage."
Akira put her hand on umois mouth and said slowly "fine! ILL PUT THEM AWAY! BUT IN RETURN SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!" umoi looked up in surprise at Akira swearing and Misaki slumped forward, nearing causing ino to drop her and said "akira, try to act least act like an innocent little girl." Akira looked at Misaki and said "but I am innocent."
Souta, kenta and the Uchiha twins scoffed at Akira and Akira glared at them making them look the other way, Misaki said "innocent my ass." Akira crossed her arms and huffed. Umoi poked Akira and said "its unbecoming for a lady to swear." Akira stuck her tongue at umoi and said "well its not like I can fucking control the shit that comes out of my mouth half the time I fucking talk." Sakura fell over anime style and umoi almost sighed before looking at the front of the group.
Akira was going to open her mouth only for umoi to put up his hand "they are putting up the order in which the matches will be going." Akira nodded and looked forward, she was proud to see her mom at a platform with a mic in front of her and a screen go up behind her.
There were 5 arenas situated among them and they were given a designated area in which they will wait for their matches based on the arenas they will be fighting.
Akira was in the first arena, Misaki in the second, souta in the third, kenta in the forth, Kohaku in the fifth and Miroku was in the first along with Akira. Akira looked over at the Uchiha twins and snickered "I guess they will have to find a way to break up the Siamese twins." Akira said only for umoi to yelp and turn to the left to dodge a fireball from the Uchiha twins.
Behind them there were cries of outrage as some other contestants got the brunt of the fireballs and the genins turned to the front acting like nothing happened. The person who was hit by the fireball was looking for the person who threw it, they didn't think that a bunch of kids can perform high level jutsus like that so they dismissed the genins.
The screen blinked again and it showed the 5 arenas in separate panels as on each one matches were listed going from the very first match to the last one. Akira and Miroku groaned when they saw that their match was going to be in the late ones.
Akira was up against some person named shigoni rumaki and their match was the 16th, Miroku was going up against some jrakuri kaski and their match was the 28th.
Akira crossed her arms and glared at the names while umoi looked up at Akira, seeing that she wasn't happy with the way their matches were set up. Misaki was unfairly the first match that would be going up in the second arena, she was going up against some girl names Trisha kaisuno.
Souta in arena three was going up against Roy akabane and their match would be the 8th, Akira was glaring even harder at the screen seeing how early her other friends will be fighting and she looked over at the fourth one and saw that kentas match would be the 5th and he was against a girl names Rose Oqallik and rolled her eyes when kenta was scanning the crowd.
In the fifth arena kohakus match was the 31st and Akira smirked at that, Kohaku was against umoi. Akira looked down at umoi in surprise and blinked when umoi was looking at Kohaku and Kohaku looked over at umoi before saying gruffly "don't go easy on me just because i'm younger than you are."
Umoi blinked and said "I didn't know you were an Uchiha…" Misaki laughed and pointed at Kohaku "he has the Uchiha stereotypical looks, even down to the high collared shirts!" umoi shook his head "Ive never seen an Uchiha before." The little genins sighed and poked the people they were on shoulders and said "you can put us down now."
Akira looked up at umoi and said softly "since you claim to be a master swordsman… can you teach me? Please?" umoi looked down at her and said softly "will you still say the same thing when I beat up your friend in the ring." Akira snickered and said "ill be damn happy if you beat that little shit to the ground."
Akira held her head crying slightly when umoi hit her in the head and said "didn't I tell you it was unbecoming of a lady to swear?" Akira looked at him with tears in her eyes "ill keep fucking swearing whenever the fuck I want." She dodged to the side when he tried to hit her head again.
She stuck his tongue out at him and said "if you agree to train me, than I will watch the shit that comes out of my fucking mouth." umoi looked deep in thought and nodded. "deal." Akira was cheering up and down and everyone heard a booming "NOW TO YOUR DESIGNATED AREAS!" she jumped, not having heard her mother shout before.
She scurried and went to her area. She sat and watched misakis match with bated breath.
.:.:.:.
I regretfully have to say, that a while back. some stuff happened… I wrote two chapters before this, so it was ready to be put up. since this was a chapter in progress at that time, I cut it short.
This story will be put on haitas for a while, I need the motivation to write it up. mainly the motivation to write up the fighting scenes, I am writing other stories.
One story is a crossover with Inuyasha and black butler, the other story is a crossover with Inuyasha and various other stories.
They are not written up in separated chapters, so they will be practically impossible to write up, so I will leave it as is and continue to write them. I don't know when is the next time I will be updating.
