Chapter 2: What The Hell Is Going On?!
Naruto was running back to Konoha, feeling creeped out. He needed to talk to someone about what happened with his team mates and Kakashi, and that someone was Iruka. Throughout his run to the village, the strange feeling in his head subsided but was still there, like it was in the back of his mind, waiting for some kind of signal to grow again. Running into the village through the gates, he spotted Rock Lee walking rather stiffly. Naruto slowed to a stop and grabbed him by the shoulders.
"Lee!" Naruto panted, "Have you seen Iruka, the academy instructor, anywhere? I gotta talk to him!"
"Oh, hey Naruto-kun. Sorry, I can't say that I have." Rock Lee walked a few steps away on his toes slightly, like moving his body too much was painful.
"Lee, are you all right? Are you hurt?" Naruto asked, concerned. Lee brushed away Naruto's comment with a small hand wave.
"No, no, not at all. Its just Neji-sama took me by surprise, so I'm a little sore, that's all." Lee explained. Naruto was about to ask just what Rock ment, when he noticed the damp spot on the pants of Lee's green jump suite, as if caused by a liquid...
"You mean you were sparring, right? And that he caused you to bleed a bit... right?"
Naruto asked and hoped at the same time. Lee laughed heartily, then stopped when it started to become too painful.
"No baka, Neji-sama and I are lovers now! Duh! He confessed his feelings for me last night, and needless to say I was a little off-guard!"
"Y-you mean Neji... raped you?!" Naruto said aghast.
"Haha no! Neji-sama may not have asked, but because he did it with love, it was more like... 'surprise-concentual sex.'" Lee explained to a very pale Naruto, who took off like a bullet to find Iruka as fast as he could.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~~~+~+~ k sene change again lolz
Iruka was running as well, not to, but from, someone. Kakashi was acting... friendly. TOO friendly, and Iruka was going to have none of that or this 'dolfin' crap Kakashi was spouting. So it was by a great coincidence that he happened to bump into Naruto while going down an alleyway.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ ok the seens r 1 now lol
"Iruka!" Naruto gasped, before he tackled his old teacher with a hug, "I've been looking all over for you!"
"W-wait a sec Naruto, we need to run!" he said, grabbing Naruto's hand and half-dragging him along. He took a complex series of streets and walkways, eventually ending up at his own house. Inside, Iruka locked all the doors and windows, pulled down the blinds and then turned
some lights on. Finally, he sighed with relief and sat down on his bed. Naruto pulled up a desk chair and straddled it, waiting for Iruka to finish up anything he may have had to do.
"Okay Naruto, we're secure. What is it you wanted?" he asked.
"Things are going crazy!" Naruto exclaimed, "Sasuke and Sakura are making out like there's no tomorrow, Lee and Neji have, uh, found love in one another, and Kakashi is just plain weird," Iruka grimaced when Naruto said Kakashi, "So I came to you, wondering if you knew anything."
"Well... not really..." Iruka said, but before he could continue they both winced at some kind of feeling in their head. Naruto started rubbing his temples, and saw Iruka doing the same.
"You also felt that?" he asked. Iruka nodded.
"I'm not sure why, but everyone is acting differently. Its like... they're becoming characatures of themselves."
"Any ideas on what to do?" Naruto asked, feeling a little defeated.
"It seems pretty wide-spread, so I think we could take it up with the Hokage, if she's not busy."
Naruto nodded in agreement, and the went off together to see the Fifth Hokage (but not before Iruka had Naruto go out first, to check for Kakashi).
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~```At the Hokage Tsunade's manshun:
The cloaked and masked guards of the Hokage, the Anbu, admitted Iruka and Naruto in, although they assumed it was because she wasn't seeing anyone at the moment, that was rather the contrary. At a table over some cups of tea and pockey (always pockey) the Hokage sat with a young girl.
The girl appeared to be around the age of eighteen, but her beauty looked like that of a woman. Her long, black hair went down to the floor, like a silken curtain that flowed slightly in the small breeze coming from the window. Her eyes were like sapphires, dancing with sparkling light that made them look like the water of a clear lake. A small smile formed on her ruby-red lips when they came in.
"Um..." was all Iruka could say. He felt like he was somehow being drawn to this mysterious woman.
"Iruka. Naruto," Tsunade nodded to each of them, "I would like you to meet a guest of mine. She just got here today. Her name is..."
Dread seemed to fill up in Naruto, as if he didn't really want to know...
"...Meri-Su." the Fifth finished. Naruto felt like ice went shooting up his spine. Iruka acted quite the contrary.
"Oh! Forgive me for not recognizing you, Meri-sama." Iruka bowed, while Naruto looked at him quizitivly, "You won't recognize her Naruto, you're too young to. Before you were born, Meri-sama had single-handedly fought back both the nations of Stone and Clouds... at the same time! Impressive, huh?" Meri-Su blushed slightly under Iruka's words and brought a delicate hand to her face. Naruto looked skeptical.
"So, Meri-san," he began, "how old are you?"
"Why, eighteen, why do you ask?" she said in a musical voice.
"If you fought back the two nations before I was born, that would make you about... six or seven, at the oldest." Naruto pointed out. There was a long silence. The Hokage seemed more perplexed than anything and Meri-Su looked like she was agitated, but Iruka's face looked like
he had dawned on something.
"I-I'm sorry!" he said, bowing deeply, "Naruto is a little sick, please excuse us!"
"I'm not si-ow!" Naruto was interrupted as Iruka grabbed him by the arm and quickly pulled him out of the room. Meri-Su's slight frown of anger went unnoticed by the Hokage.
"They are on to me..." she thought to herself.
Comming soon, the grand finale! omg r&r no flamz plz
