Ch5
MONDAY OF THE ATTACK
The ninjas of Konoha, from Chuunin and up, stood around the Konoha village, completely surrounding the place, protecting the inside. Of course, our favorite people are among these.
Sasuke looked around nervously, trying to locate Kagura. "Where could she be?" he said to himself, as he craned his neck couple times to see. He hadn't seen her all week after what he had said to her, for he was training with Kakashi, and even if did have free time, and looks for her, she is no where to be seen.
Sakura noticed, ad asked, "What's wrong, Sasuke-kun?"
Sasuke kept looking, but answered, "Hey Sakura, do you know a girl named Kazehane Kagura?" he asked.
Sakura shook her head. "Who…oh…" she said, her head bowing. She remembered, the girl Ino and Sakura saw, at the gate.
Sasuke looked around, and gave up, when they saw Kakashi walking towards them. "Yo." He said, raising his hand.
"Where's Naruto?" Sakura asked, looking around.
Kakashi smiled under his mask. "It's alright, he's with someone else, and he's supposed to be looking after her."
Sasuke's head jerked up. He knew that Naruto and Kagura were good friends. "Kagura?" he asked.
Kakashi nodded. "Yes, but Sasuke and Sakura, forget all that now, just remember, don't die." He said. "Please."
Sasuke was shocked. Kagura needed a look out? From Naruto? "What's wrong with her?" Sasuke asked, alert.
Kakashi looked at him with his eye. "Nothing." He simply said. "Sasuke, remember, thinking about your villagers is important, but now, look after yourself."
Sasuke nodded. "Fine." He said.
Kakashi smiled, and placed his hands on each other's shoulder. "Now Sakura and Sasuke, please, do not do anything stupid." They nodded. "Good, you are dismissed." With that, Sasuke and Sakura leaped into the forest, looking for the enemies.
Naruto and Kagura
Kagura sighed, as she walked through the forest, and stopped, turning around. "Look, Naruto." She said her hands on her hips. "And Iruka, I know that you are following me, but please, STOP!" she yelled. "I can look after myself."
Naruto jumped out of the bush he was hiding in, and so did Iruka. "Hehehe…" Naruto said, scratching his head.
Kagura rolled her eyes. "Look, I'll be fine."
Iruka shook his head. "No, just incase you might unleash your demon, when you see Shukaku, we are going to move with you."
Kagura rolled her eyes once more. "What ever, do what you want…" she trailed off, as she looked over to her left her eyes full of alert. She cursed under her breath, as she went to her side pocket, to get her kunai. "GET DOWN!" she yelled, as she saw needles flying at them.
Both Iruka and Naruto ducked in time, as they felt the needles fly past them. "What the heck?" Naruto yelled, as he got into his fighting stance, kunai in hand. Iruka followed suit, with out a word.
Kagura's eyes went to the needle that was on the ground, nearly missing her head. "It's poisoned, don't get caught." She said to them.
"Ha, you got saved by a girl, pathetic." Someone said from the bush. "But you wont be so lucky next time." With that, the enemy threw more needles, but those got deflected by each of them, and they threw the kunai where they saw the needle fly from.
"GOTCHA!" Naruto yelled, as he threw it but a puff of smoke answered him.
"NARUTO!" Kagura yelled, as she got another kunai and threw it over to him. Naruto felt the kunai fly past him, and he heard another puff of smoke. "Watch out, this person seems to be good at hiding." She warned the 2.
Both of them nodded, as they came into a small circle their back facing each other. Kagura quickly scanned the place, and threw 2 kunais. Both answered with a puff of smoke, and Kagura felt their presence running away. . She cursed, and fell to her knees.
"Kagura?" Iruka asked, worried.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked, panicking.
Kagura looked at her right shoulder, to see a small scrape. She cursed once more, as she brought her hand to her shoulder. "I just got a tiny scrape, that's all." Kagura said to them, smiling. "It'll be all right. All I have to do is use my healing ninjutsu." With that, her hand glowed, and she healed her wound.
With a relived sigh, Iruka looked around. "Well who ever attacked us is gone." He said, "but we better watch out."
Naruto nodded, as he got another kunai. "If they come again, they'll be sure to know not to mess with my friends." He said, with thumbs up to Kagura.
Kagura smiled at them, as she stood up. "Well now, I'm all right now, so let's get…" she trailed off, as she brought a finger to her lips. "Sasuke." She whispered, as she darted off.
"What's wrong now?" Naruto asked, as he ran to follow her. "Did I hear the word Sasuke?"
Iruka followed them also, panicked. "Did you just say Sasuke?" he asked, looking worried.
Kagura nodded. "Sasuke is in trouble. I can smell blood." She said, as she quickened her pace.
"Yeah…" Naruto trailed off, sniffing. "I can smell blood too…"
Iruka looked at them with a funny look. "I don't smell anything." He said.
"That's because you don't have a demon with in you." Kagura pointed out, as she hopped tree to tree. "There!" she yelled, as they came to a clearing, Sasuke and Sakura in the middle, Sasuke bleeding, Sakura on the ground, apparently horrified and can't move.
((erm..for those of you who do know the new Sakura…erm, I just wanted to say that she is strong, her new Sakura, but she is like this because she's terrified. Sorry, but I had to make her this way to make the story fit.))
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled, as he saw a kunai flying towards her. "Watch out!"
Sasuke turned his head towards the Kunai, and flung himself between Sakura and the kunai. He gritted his teeth when he felt the kunai go into his own body, and fell to the ground.
"Sasuke!" Kagura yelled, as she ran towards him.
"I'll have you covered, look after Sasuke." Iruka said to her, as he got out a kunai.
"Me too!" Naruto yelled, as he followed Iruka's moves.
Kagura nodded, as she got her hand out in front of her. She took a deep breath, and when she exhaled, her hand glowed. She scanned him, as she tried to mend his shoulder. "His wounds are to big, I'm going to have to use my power." She said aloud for Naruto and Iruka to hear.
"Kagura, does he know?" Iruka asked, looking around for attacks.
Kagura shook her head. "No, but if it means that it'll save him, I will use it." With that, she got her hand to her tiger sign. "Kai!" she yelled.
Sakura watched all this, with confusion, anger, and fear. Her eyes opened wide as she saw black wings spread from Kagura's back, and watched her wings go to Sasuke. "Get away from my Sasuke-kun!" she yelled, as she saw her wings slowly cover him.
Kagura gave a glare at her, and said, "You, pink hair, you just watched, didn't you? While you saw him get almost killed." She said, with an acidic tone.
Sakura didn't say anything. "Because…I…"
Kagura sighed, as she turned to Sasuke. "He'll be fine." With that, she completely covered him in her jet black wings, and a faint blackish glow emitted. When the wings unfolded, Sakura saw that all his wounds had gone.
Sasuke slowly opened his eyes, and jumped up, when he saw Kagura. "Ka…gura?" he asked, confused. "What's that thing on you?" he asked, as he looked at her and to her wings.
Kagura smiled at him, "Don't worry, this is only half form." She said to him. "Now is my turn to tell you what was wrong." She turned to Iruka and Naruto.
Naruto nodded, getting her gesture, and got into a ready stance. "I think they ran away, after they saw you with those wings." Iruka said to them. "But I'll keep a look out."
Kagura nodded to them in thanks. She then turned to Sasuke. "Sasuke…you might not believe me when I say thing…but…" she trailed off, and took a deep breath. "I…with in me sleep a demon bird."
Sakura looked horrified. "Your wings are black!" she looked over to her. "That means you have the demon bird, the black one that killed off the whole Morikagure!" she yelled.
"Morikaure?" Sasuke asked confused.
Kagura sighed. "Yes, I am the container of that bird." She said.
Sakura suddenly stood up, and ran to Sasuke. "Are you okay?" she asked, worried. "Did that thing do anything to you?"
Kagura looked away. 'Thing' is what she was called by, by the people that knew her demon. She stood up. "Well now, Iruka and Naruto, let's go." She said.
"Wait." Sasuke said to her. He had already pushed Sakura side.
Kagura sighed once more. "We, Kazehanes are cursed to carry this demon bird, child to child. That is why I turned down your request." With that, she got her hand to her neck, and untied the headband that was around her neck. When it was off, Sasuke's eyes widened as he saw the marks on her neck. "Sorry Sasuke. I'm sure you'll find someone you truly love." With that, she tuned and ran off.
"Kagura-chan!" Naruto yelled, as he ran after her.
"Make sure to follow her, Naruto!" Iruka yelled after them, and turned to the other two. "Will you two be alright? Or do you want me to send you guys an ANBU member?" He knelt besides them, as he checked for wounds. Or at least a Jounin?"
Sasuke shook his head, as he tried to calculate what just happened. "Kagura…has that demon and Morikagure…"
Iruka looked at Sasuke with saddened eyes, as he explained, "Morikagure was killed off long time ago, and I think more than 100 years. That's why the history of the demon bird and the Morikagure was thought to be a Myth, to go along with the fox demon." He sighed, as he stood up. "But this is no Myth. This happened, and like Kagura said, Kazehanes are cursed to carry the bird child to child. She wants to end it; she wants to be the last one with the bird."
"How come the other people behind her think of that?" Sasuke demanded.
Iruka shrugged. "Who knows, we will never meet them, for when they give their first child birth, the bird goes with the child, ending up killing the mother."
Sasuke looked at the ground, worried. "But…" Before he could start on what he was about to say, the ground shook violently.
Sakura screamed, as she tried to grasp Sasuke's arms for support, but ended up on the ground. "OWW!" She yelled. "What's going on?" she asked.
Iruka looked around, hoping that it wasn't her. He then noticed something large…something brown. Shukaku.
