"Ino-pig, what's going on?" Sakura asked.
"Shhh," Ino said. "Don't you see? Shina has that cute boy there. What's his name? Yuki. That way we can have Sasuke-kun."
"I see," Sakura nodded as she swirled her pink hair around her finger. "Sasuke doesn't seem to enjoy this though."
Ino smirked, "Of course. Then we'll get to comfort him and he'll like us more."
"I'll meet you guys in Konoha! I gotta talk to Yuki-kun again!" Shina exclaimed. Sasuke and Naruto growled.
"Okay we'll meet you back at Konoha," Sasuke twitched.
"Yeah, of course," Naruto said nervously. Sasuke and Naruto went on different paths on the way back to Konoha.
"Okay, let's go!" Ino shouted. Sakura and Ino ran to Sasuke. "Hi Sasuke-kun!"
"We're here to help you get better about the Yuki Shina thing," Sakura said.
"So wait, you were spying on me?" Sasuke growled. Now everyone will know I like Shina. Stupid stalkers. Sakura nodded shyly.
"We're here to mend your broken heart," Ino said.
"I don't need your help," Sasuke said calmly. " I got a plan that'll help me get to Shina."
Sakura's sweat dropped. "Oh Sasuke, don't you see? We're much better than that Shina-koro!"
Sasuke had enough. "Never EVER call Shina that," Sasuke's said warningly as he walked away.
"Sasuke-kun wait!" Ino cried. Then she turned to Sakura. "This is all YOUR fault, forehead! Sasuke-kun would've loved me but know you had to go 'we're better than Shina-koro' I hate you!"
Sasuke found Naruto sitting on a log writing in a book:
"Dear Journal,
Sigh Shina will never love me until her 'Yuki-kun' is out of the way. All this time I thought Sasuke was the enemy. He's always calling me dobe and all that stuff. He's such a baka! I found him hugging Shina-chan. He doesn't deserve her. He could have Sakura. I don't care about her anymore. Oh Shina-chan please like me better than Sasuke no baka and Yuki-koro.
-Naruto Uzumaki"
Naruto soon felt someone behind him. He turned around finding an angry Sasuke. "Hiya, Sasuke!" Naruto said nervously.
"Don't deserve her do I? Oh and I'm such a baka too right?" Sasuke said angrily before he punched Naruto on the head and tied him up.
"Mmm-hmm," Naruto tried to escape.
"Sorry Naruto," Sasuke said uncaringly. "It's for your own good. Now listen, we got to get Shina's 'Yuki-kun' out of the picture. Then we'll settle our rivalry later." He then untied Naruto.
"Fine, only till then," Naruto said. "So, what's your plan, Sasuke?"
"Naruto, does Shina know about your Sexy no Jutsu?" Sasuke asked.
"No, why?" Naruto answered. And then he pictured Sasuke's plan. "Oooooh I get it."
Once Naruto and Sasuke found Yuki and Shina they put their plan to work. "Sexy no Jutsu," Naruto transformed. He (I'll put it on she from now on until he turns back) walked over to Yuki. (He has his clothes on) "Hi there."
Shina glared at her. That presence, it can't be… "Naruto?"
"I'm sorry you must have the wrong person, my name is Naruko." Naruto smirked. This is gonna be fun. "I'm lost and I can't find my way back, can you help me?" I'm gonna see who Yuki really is.
"Well of course," Yuki said, but he didn't smile, for she looked a lot like Naruto. "Anything for a girl."
"Of course, I'm sorry, " Naruko frowned falsely and smirked in his thoughts.
Shina stared at Naruko jealously. This can't be happening. There she read two souls, one good and one evil. "YOUR NARUTO AND YOU KNOW IT!" Shina cried.
Kuso, Naruto thought. I forgot she could read souls. Naruto transformed back. "It wasn't my idea! It was Sasuke's!"
"Come out, NOW!" Shina shouted angrily.
Sasuke came out. "I'm sorry," he said.
"I can't believe you jerks! Why did you pull a prank like that?" Shina cried. Sasuke and Naruto came silent.
"Shina, I don't want to interrupt however can I ask you something?" Yuki asked.
Shina blushed. "Of course."
"I have a new sensei," Yuki stated. "His name is Itachi Uchiha."
"WHAT?" Sasuke shouted. "What do you mean? He's my stupid brother that destroyed my clan!"
Itachi jumped down from the trees. Sasuke staring at him. How come I didn't sense him? Is he strong?
"It's been a while brother," Itachi smirked. "Yuki, is this the girl you've been talking about? The girl from your clan?"
Shina stared. "I'm Tsuki Shina, what do you want?"
"My apprentice wants you to join our side. I've heard that you were strong. You even beat my younger brother." Itachi answered smirking at Sasuke.
Shina tried to hold Sasuke back. "I told myself I would kill you. And I will someday. But for now, I have other business to do." Then Sasuke looked at Shina. "Shina don't go. He's a murderer. He did to my village like what happened to yours."
Itachi saw Sasuke, "So you've came to my dumb brother's heart. Never had that happened. You may be as strong as I expected. Come join me, Yuki is with me."
Shina understood. She wasn't going to a murderer's path. "No, I can't." Then she stared at Yuki. "Yuki-kun, why are you doing this? Didn't you see all the people dying? You can't become one who did that to a village like what happened to ours!"
"I'm sorry Shina," Yuki said coldly. "I thought you would understand. Itachi-sensei was going to help me get stronger. Help you get stronger too. We were gonna kill Orochomaru together. And here you are turning against me."
"You seem to reject my offer. Don't worry you might reconsider, so I'll come back for you soon." Itachi said quietly. And with that Yuki fallowed Itachi and zoomed up into the trees.
"Yuki-kun wait!" Shina cried. "I-I don't understand. All I wanted was to see him again, not like this." Shina wept.
Sasuke and Naruto raced to comfort her. Naruto was the one that won. Naruto stuck his tongue at Sasuke. "It's okay Shina, remember what you told me? That Yuki is an idiot. Giving you up for killing Orochomaru. Just give up on him."
Shina thought for a minute. "Your right Naruto," Shina said thankfully. "Thanks." She gave Naruto a hug. And that left Sasuke glaring at Naruto jealously.
After that incident, Shina begun to have deeper feelings for Naruto and Sasuke. How can I choose between them? They're both just so nice.
"Shina, is there anything wrong?" Kakashi asked.
Shina snapped out of her thoughts. "Oh nothing," Sakura stared angrily at Shina. "Excuse me staring is rude."
"Why did you take Sasuke from me? We were meant to be together!" Sakura cried.
"Two things for that," Shina sighed. "One I didn't 'take' your beloved Sasuke, I didn't say he was my boyfriend. Two, if you were meant to be together, than why aren't you together with him now?"
Sakura blushed, "It's because Sasuke loved me deep in his heart, I know! And you took that love away from me!"
Shina sighed again. "I-"
"I never loved you Sakura. You're annoying. You never left me alone even if I asked. That's why I never like you." Sasuke said coldly.
Sakura sobbed. "But- we were…" Then she gave up.
"Sakura," Shina said. "Your probably not meant for Sasuke so just give up. Look at you. Your smart, sure but your alone with no friends."
Kakashi turned to them. "Unless you want to fail, I suggest you should listen to me."
Orochimaru observed Team 7 training. "Hmmm, what's this? Sasuke of the Uchiha clan and Naruto Uzumaki are fond of my future apprentice. This can cut into my plans." Orochimaru saw Kakashi look into the trees on his hiding spot. Orochimaru smirked. "Fool, it's hard to sense my presence." Kakashi shook his head as if he thought he saw something for a minute but it was his imagination.
Orochimaru observed a bit more then fled to start his plans.
"Hokage-sama!" Iruka yelled.
"Yes, yes speak Iruika," The third Hokage answered.
"It's just that there are two new ninjas have arrived! And they need a team of three. They also need an instructor!" Iruka cried.
"Iruka you are a jounin now, you can be their instructor. Therefore, I promote you." Lord Hokage answered. (I'll use the American way)
"What?" Iruka asked confused.
"I said you are the new teacher. The primary class shall be combined together."
"But-" Iruka was about to protest but he couldn't argue with the Hokage.
The next day Kakashi had an announcement to make, "Due to the new students, Shina shall be moved to team 12 instead of Team 7. Any questions?"
Naruto and Sasuke's mouth dropped.
"What do you mean moved! Why not Sakura! Shina should stay…" Naruto went on and on naming as many reasons as he could.
Kakashi couldn't take it anymore. "ENOUGH! I believe Sakura has been here before Shina came in. You known each other longer than Shina so she has been moved."
Naruto kept arguing. Sasuke mentally growled. It's that damned sensei's entire fault! There goes my first intrest.
Sakura jumped with joy. "THIS IS AWESOME! NOW I CAN WIN SASUKE-KUN'S HEART AND WE'LL LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER! HA IN YOUR FACE SHINA!"
Shina yelled at Sakura. "What do you mean! NOW I CAN'T BE WITH ANY OF MY FRIENDS!"
Kakashi just stared at the group. Naruto was yelling at him, Sasuke was giving him his "annoyed but evil glare", Sakura was a very happy girl, and Shina was just still and silent. "What have I gotten myself into?" Kakashi sighed.
Iruka met his pupils at the rock in the center of the Hidden Leaf forest. "Hi I'm Iruka and I want you to tell me about yourself."
There was a boy and a girl. They looked to be related in some sort.
"I am Shang, Tenki and I'm from the Chinese sky clan. Hmmmm, my interest would be in cute girls and becoming a ninja." He turned and winked at Shina. Shina's face flushed lightly.
"Please excuse my older brother, but I'm Shang, Mimi. I love having fun and hanging out with people. One of my hobbies is getting my brother out of trouble." Tenki glared at her.
"Oh and I'm Tsuki, Shina. I um, I don't really like talking about me." Shina said.
Iruka sighed, "You have to tell us something about you. How would we remember you then?"
Shina tried to change the subject. "Aren't you Naruto's caretaker?"
Iruka fell for it. "Why yes I am. I'm sorry if he caused you any trouble but I take pride in him."
Iruka kept blabbing on while Tenki went up and talked to her. "Hi there, I'm Tenki, and I think you're cute." He grinned.
Mimi tugged on his ear. "Sorry about that, but I'm Mimi and I'll get Tenki out of your way so don't worry." Mimi looked closely at her. "Hey aren't you that one girl who's Sasuke's girlfriend." Shina blushed.
Tenki butted in. "Wait, aren't you Naruto's girlfriend?" Shina blushed deeper.
"Um, I don't have a boyfriend, sorry." Shina said embarrassly.
"YES! You're free! So want to go to the Ramen shop after ninja class? I mean, just to get to know each other." Tenki said outrageously.
Mimi sighed, great, another scrape my brother has gone into. But she'll say no as usual like other girls.
"Ok, sure," Shina said unsurely.
Mimi's mouth dropped. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN? But- but,"
"Now Mimi, it's just to get to know each other better. It's not a date," Tenki said proudly.
As the team 14 continued on listening to Iruka and his training, the class ended quickly.
Oh yeah, Tenki thought, I got a really cute one this time! Now just to get to know each other. "So, are you sure you don't have a boyfriend?" Tenki asked at the Ramen shop.
"No, why?" Shina answered.
"I was just wondering." Tenki said, not knowing they were being watched.
What's this? Shina got a date with the new guy? And they just met? Sasuke felt ridiculous. What is this feeling? I feel angry with the boy and I don't know why.
'It's called jealousy.'
What do I do with this feeling?
'Simple, win her heart from that bastard.'
Sasuke observed a bit more. That Tenki boy was making her laugh, his Shina laugh. Sasuke sat down. He felt crushed. But he wasn't going to give up yet.
Thoughts from Tenki
"Hey, Shina, how are you? I figured I'd find you here." Sasuke said as he walked up to her.
Tenki glared at Sasuke. Who does he think he is? Stealing my date is not an option. "We were just talking."
Shina was glad to see Sasuke. "Oh hi Sasuke! Come sit by me. It's a shame we aren't on the same team anymore."
Tenki froze. Holy crap! That was the mighty Sasuke Uchiha? The one who had an eye on this cute girl?
Sasuke smiled at Shina. "Thank you Shina."
Odd, rumor has it that Sasuke refrains from showing emotion what so ever.
Shina beamed at Sasuke. "I'm glad we could still be friends. Ten-ten told me that Naruto was furious that I moved. I'm sorry."
Naruto walks into the Ramen resteraunt. He went to order his ramen (as usual), unaware that Shina was there.
"HI NARUTO!" Shina says as she gave Naruto a hug.
"ACK!" Naruto yelled frightenedly. He turned around and saw Shina. His face darkened red. Shina had hugged him.
"Naruto, I wish you and Sasuke are in my team again," Shina said.
Sasuke glared at Naruto. Don't I get a hug?
Shina saw the disgust look on Sasuke's face. "Sasuke is something wrong?" Sasuke shook his head.
Tenki was getting impatient and time was running out. "Listen Shina, I have to go. But before I leave…" He lifted Shina's chin up gently and gave her a quick peck on the lips. That left Sasuke and Naruto staring with there mouths drop and Shina clueless.
Shina dazed off. "My…first…kiss…"
"THAT WAS YOUR FIRST KISS?" Sasuke and Naruto screamed at the same time.
Shina snapped out of her trance. She blushed. "Um, yeah."
So this is what those damn fan girls feel when I had my first… never mind bad memory.
'Kick his ass.'
What?
''You again have another rival. Deal with Naruto-teme later. I mean Tenki no baka just stole Shina's first kiss. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE YOU!'
I know. And I will not let that happen again.
Shina saw Sasuke's disturbed look on his face. "Sasuke are you alright? You seem kind of mad that Tenki kissed me."
Sasuke froze. She saw that. Dammit! "Uh, it's just that the ramen I ate was too hot and it burned my tongue." ('That was the saddest excuse ever') "I'm not jealous or anything. Just because I lo-lo um like you doesn't mean I'm possessive." ('Tsk tsk tsk, denying your emotions')
Naruto tried not to laugh. Not on the idea that Tenki kissed Shina but at how Sasuke was acting. He never saw the great Sasuke Uchiha act so pathetic. Sasuke obviously saw this and glared at him.
The door burst open. Mimi thrashed out. "Did my brother do anything wrong?" She yelled.
Shina blushed. "Not really."
Sasuke's eyebrow twitched impatiently as if expecting Shina to say something.
"WHAT D'YA MEAN NOT REALLY? HE STOLE YOUR FIRST KISS!" Naruto yelled.
Mimi looked around. She just noticed that Naruto and Sasuke were there too. She stopped drooling over the two boys in front of her and realized what Naruto said. "HE WHAT?"
Shina spoke. "Well he kinda kissed me when I wasn't expecting it and uh…"
"That was her first kiss," Sasuke said out of nowhere to complete Shina's sentence.
Shina tried to change the subject, "So uh, how did you find us?"
"I asked this crazy girl named Sakura or whatever. She said that you were in the ramen shop on a date with this one dude. She seemed very excited about you going on a date with my Tenki-kun. 'SASUKE IS MINE NOW!' she yelled happily. It was kinda scary." Mimi said.
Sasuke looked a little annoyed.
"So," Mimi continued. "Does Sasuke and Naruto follow you everywhere?"
"There just my friends. We hang out together." Shina answered. Naruto and Sasuke's hearts sank. They were just friends.
Mimi seemed a little disappointed at the look on there faces. Well there's other fish in the sea. "They seem very fond of you. I'll go find my brother now."
Shina nodded.
Then Mimi ran to find Tenki.
An hour and a half later
"Where the heck am I?" Mimi wondered. She was lost somewhere. Mimi walked through the end of the forest only to find a desert. "This does not look like my house." She muttered sarcastically.
Then a sandstorm started up in front of her. It came closer and closer until; on the top of the sand hill was a boy with red (literally) hair and two followers behind him. The boy was filled with hatred and he had a tattoo on his forehead (Which means is love in English. Did you know that since Gaara's name is death, it would be "I love death"). The boy carried a gorge on his back. He stared at Mimi. Then out of nowhere a sandy hand came out of the ground in attempt to grab Mimi. The evil boy smirked.
Mimi jumped out of the way just in time. She listened and heard the team talking among themselves.
"Gaara, why are you doing this? The girl didn't even do anything." The 2nd eldest of the group said.
"Do not question me, Kankuro or you, too, will end up dead like her." Gaara spat.
The girl of the group stared at Gaara, too frightened to say anything. She opened her mouth to say some thing but Gaara intueruppted.
"I advise you to keep your mouth shut too, Temari for I do not think of you two as my older siblings, but as only pawns to use if needed."
Mimi froze with fear. Even his older brother and his older sister is afraid of him. Who is he?
Gaara turned to her. "Now, it's your turn. Suna Shurikan! (Sand Shurikan)"
Sharp sand was heading toward her.
Mimi had to think fast. "Sora no mugan! (Infinite sky)" Mimi rose up into the air. The sand shurikan had doged. "Why are you doing this? I didn't do anything! Don't you trust me?"
"I trust no one." Gaara stated.
Mimi grabbed a handful of kunai from her pocket. It's a good thing I'm always prepared. Mimi flung them at the prince of the dessert.
"Suna no Yoroi! (Sand of Armor or Armor of Sand) Sand surrounded Gaara as the kunai just went in the sand.
Mimi just hoped it him. She held her breath. Nothing happened until the sand just dropped down. Gaara just stared at her and smirked. He has so much chakra! How does he do it?
"Bunshin Gekko no jutsu(Moonlight clones justsu)" Mimi cried. A clone jutsu should work. Her long blond hair flickered up. And then, a dozen clones came out.
Clever, but not clever enough, Gaara thought. "Suna Bunshin no Jutsu (Sand clones jutsu) " The clash of the clone ended pretty soon by a whip of sand from Gaara. "Enough of this foolishness!" Gaara started gathering up his charkra. "Sabaku Kyuu (Dessert Coffin)"
Sand swirled and surrounded Mimi. Than trapped her inside the sand. "This is the reign of death. Where it is painless and quick. And it is when blood rains from the body." Temari and Kankuro gasped. "Sabaku SouSou (Dessert Graveyard or Dessert Funeral)"
The sand started to tighten around Mimi's body. It was suffocating her. The Sabaku SouSou or Dessert Funeral as I call it is an awesome attack where it painlessly, yet instantly kills the victim. It takes up a lot of chakra and the remains of the body (mostly blood) rains down. When Gaara uses this attack in chapter 35 (I think) and in episode 43 (I think).
Tears started to stream Mimi's cheek. "I didn't know you really wanted to kill me? I don't want to die."
"It's too late, in precisely 3 minutes, you will die. Only I can stop this."
"Please stop, this can't happen. I know you could be nice. I once heard of a blood thirst boy named Gaara no Sabaku or Gaara of the Dessert. I heard horrible stories about how you killed people and show no mercy. But I also heard about how you were treated when you were a kid. I felt the same way. No one but my brother ever really cared about me. My mom died on giving birth to me and my dad never cared about me. All he cared about was his work and how he could be a better merchant. If it weren't for my brother, I could've been sold as a slave. My father ever cared for my brother more than me. So please let me go. I know the pain you've been through. But it doesn't have to be this way!" Mimi sobbed.
Gaara stared at her. The sand slowly dropped. "You've never been through the pain I've been through. Your father never killed you. And you weren't use as a lab rat for some experiment. And you don't have the spirit of a demonic sand priest combined into your body. You can never compare yourself to me."
"But I can help you!" Mimi begged.
"You are no use to me. If I find you on my lands again, I will kill you without hesitation." Gaara and his older siblings left.
Gaara was born in the Hidden Village of the Sand. He was used for an experiment and his body combined with a spirit of a demonic sand priest sort of like Uzumaki. He never knew the real meaning of love. He basically thought that being spoiled or giving people gifts was love. As he grew older, he started to get deranged. Then his father, Kamekagi, started to use his men to kill Gaara. Feeling betrayal and lies, he started not to trust anyone. Not even his older brother, Kangkuro or his older sister, Temari, ever made it to his cold, dark heart. He's been threatening to kill them and always scared them. But Rock Lee made Gaara consider the true meaning of love. (can't tell you the whole thing SPOILER)
(Note to somebody reading this: I may not pair Mimi with Gaara because Gaara seems to be cool by himself. But you never know. Oh the Mimi's jutsus are my own creation. They are really the Japanese meaning too. Gaara's moves are also real too. But it was kind of heart to translate it. I LOVE DESSERT FUNERAL OR SABAKU SOUSOU!)
Preview (summary style): Naruto and Sasuke get to know Shina better. Who does Shina like? And does she have a deeper emotion than "just friends" with Sasuke and Naruto? And what about Mimi? Does she like Gaara? Or Neji? What about Rock Lee? Will Sasuke and Naruto have to team up again to beat the crap about Tenki? (So it's not really a preview but questions for you to ask lol)
