Well, we meet again. This chapter was up pretty quick because it's so short. There's not much to it, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. The next chapter is when a new person is presented so, until I get some inspiration to change the way she's introduced to the way I like it, I won't be updating. So please try to help me out! This fanfic depends on it!
Chapter 12: The Mysterious and Deadly Foxlyn
"Is he always this late?" asked Kisuna. "Yep." Naruto said boredly. Sakura sat down next to Sasuke. "What do you think he's doing?" Kisuna asked. Sakura shrugged. "Heck if I know." She mumbled. (Inner Sakura: He's purposely makingus wait just to piss us off!) Naruto grinned and whispered into Kisuna's ear, even though it was loud enough for them all to listen in. "Probably reading his Make-Out Paradise books!" The two blondes laughed, Sakura joined them, and Sasuke grinned.
"Sorry I'm late." Kakashi said as he walked up to them. "Where were you?" demanded Naruto. Kakashi stared off into the distance, searching for an excuse. "I... can't seem to remember..." They anime-fell. "Now let's get started!" Thier sensai laughed. "Yes, Sir! Master Kakashi-Sensai!" Kisuna said loudly and smiling. Kakashi laughed. "It's nice to see someone that wants to work. And Kisuna, I heard about you becoming a ninja. Because you are so obviously far-skilled above the Ninja Academy, Hokage has issued you to our team until he decides what to do with you. So welcome!" Kisuna smiled. Kisuna smiled, so did Naruto. They laughed for no reason, then laughed at themselves, then at each other. (A/N: .. Blondes... No offense.. but these two ARE rather clueless. No?) "Thank you!" Sakura stared at her. 'Another person in our team? Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, Hatake Kakashi, and Shiitama Kisuna?' pondered Sakura.
"Oi matte!" Someone shouted. Naruto turned to see Iruka running towards them. "Kakashi! Wait!" he yelled again. When Iruka reached them they all said hello. "Kakashi, I was sent by Hokage-Sama to introduce you to a new student." Iruka told them in between gasping for breath. "But... I've already met Kisuna-Chan." Kakashi told him. Iruka shook his head. "No, another one." Kakashi's eyes widened, so did Sakura's. "A... another student?" she screeched. (Inner Sakura: Why us? It's bad enough to have another girl so close to Sasuke! I had to work hard to get this spot!) Iruka nodded. "Why don't they give the kid to someone else, why not Ebisu or Kurenai or Gai?"
"He thought she would do best here. Meet, Foxlyn Shiitama." Foxlyn steped out from behind Iruka, in her childish age of 13. She grinned. Kisuna's eyes widened in horror. "You're going to be a ninja!" she screamed. Foxlyn nodded. "Hai, imouto, be prepared." Foxlyn said with a sadistic smirk. Kisuna gulped. She looked up at Iruka with tears in her eyes. "Do you hate me that much?" Iruka stared down at her with wide eyes. "Wha?" He sweatdropped. Tears fell down her face in twin rivers. "Why don't you just kill me yourself?" Iruka walked back, not quite sure what to make of the situation. "I... Uh... eh?"
"Konnichiwa, Sasuke-Kun..." Foxlyn said seductivly. He glared at her. "Calm down." Foxlyn said. "I have to go now, good luck with your new students." Iruka told them. Foxlyn released her grasp of Iruka's sleeve and watched him leave. She grinned and turned back to them. "Now what?" she asked. "We're going to do two-on-two group sparring. Let's see..." Kakashi thought for a moment. "Kisuna and Foxlyn will start. The victor shall move on to the next round. Understand?" They nodded
OOOO
"HYAH!" Foxlyn exclaimed as she slashed through a tree. The weakened tree fell to the ground. Kisuna appeared from nowhere and landed on it. She glanced both ways, up, then disappeared with her lightning-fast speed. Two seconds later, Foxlyn fell from the sky and smashed through the tree where Kisuna had been.
Kakashi watched the two girls in amazement. They already could qualify as chunin ninjas. Kisuna's strengths were her speed and stealth. Foxlyn's were strength and accuracy. Against others they would prove quite difficult, but against each other it was an all-out war. Naruto watched with wide eyes. Kisuna was super fast! It was like she hadn't even been trying before, when he tried to catch her. And Foxlyn was tough! WO-HOH! Sasuke was rather interested in the match as well. Foxlyn seemed to have improved greatly from when he had last seen her. Sakura could hardly keep up. They were both so good! So, why where they training with them? They should go on to a higher rank. She sighed, she had no way of getting Sasuke with girls like them around.
"Got you!" shouted Foxlyn. She had caught Kisuna by throwing multiple shuriken at her, slowing her down. She grabbed Kisuna's arms, whirled her around, and slung her into a tree. Kisuna crashed through it and dove into the dirt. Foxlyn slowly advanced on the girl, like a predator toying with its prey. She started to attack again, but Kakashi stopped her. "That's enough. Foxlyn passes." Foxlyn smirked and peeled her sister drom the ground. "Got dirt?" she laughed. Kisuna glared and flicked her hair. She trotted away.
"Round Two: Foxlyn versus Naruto." Naruto laughed, trying to sound evil, and stepped up. Foxlyn swayed side to se aa Dopple-Ganger tried to hit her with repeatitive punches. It missed each time. Foxlyn returned with a cruel uppercut. Five Dopple-Gangers piled on top of her. A short pole was rammed into the stomach of one Naruto clone, and was swung around to beat off the others. She twirled the pole like a baton in her fingers, wacking away all Dopple-Gangers. Kisuna's eyes widened when she neared the real Naruto. "Iie!" she shouted and ran forward. "You can't do that!" Kakashi yelled after her but Kisuna didn't stop. A steel chain wrapped around Foxlyn's pole and yanked it from her hands. Kisuna pulled on the chain and caught Foxlyn's pole. "Iie, no weapons allowed." She said. Kisuna turned and walked away.
Even with no weapon, Foxlyn was really defeating Naruto bad. Kakashi stopped them and put in Sasuke. Sasuke defeated Foxlyn with much trouble, though had Foxlyn not already been exhausted, she would more than likely won the match. (But who wants Sasuke to lose? ;) Then it was Sakura's turn to fight Sasuke, but Sasuke refused. He said he didn't want to hurt her. Sakura blushed. They all went home when the first star entered the sky.
"Naruto? You okay?" Foxlyn asked. "Yes!" he shouted. Kisuna pulled Naruto's arm over her shoulder and helped him walk back to his house. His ankle had been crushed by Foxlyn's pole. When they reached his house, Kisuna fetched him an ice pack and aided him. Foxlyn grabbed her bag, going through it while in the same room as them. "What are you looking for?" Kisuna asked. Foxlyn glanced at her sister then continued on her search. "Yes!" She yelled and pulled out an iron glove with claw-like blades on it. Kisuna had one just like it stashed under her bed. "Iron Claws?" Kisuna asked. Foxlyn nodded.
"What are Iron Claws?" Naruto asked. "A weapon. They're like the claws of a demon, only made of iron and fitted like a glove for fighters. Pretty handy actually." Foxlyn said and sneered. She flexed her fingers. The claws stretched out as though they were real. Kisuna watched her sister for a moment before looking bak to Naruto's wound. However, when she looked back... the wound was gone. Kisuna blinked twice and tried questioning this for an answer, but failed. Still, she wrapped a bandage around Naruto's foot and sta back like she was done. "There." she said. Naruto wiggled his foot and smiled. "Wow, pretty good."
Foxlyn looked outside. She seemed to be debating on something for a moment until Kisuna asked, "Sister? Are you leaving?" Foxlyn stared at the rising stars. "Yes..." she said after a while. "Where to? Surely you can't plan to go on another hunt. Foxlyn... Where are you going?" Foxlyn looked at her sister, suprised. 'Does she really think I'm going to go get myself killed?' Kisuna misunderstood this look and pleaded with her sister. "You can't. You'll be killed without your full strength. Please Foxlyn, reconsider." Naruto told her. Even he though so? "You can stay here until you're better. You can't go and kill yourself."
"I'm not going on another hunt. I'm going elsewhere." Kisuna stared at her sister, confused. "Where?" she asked. "I'll be safe. No hunting for a while, I promise." Foxlyn walked to her sister, and picked up her bag. "Where are you going?" Kisuna repeated. This time Foxlyn replied in a soft whisper. "To an old friend's of mine." She walked pass them and went on her way.
Kisuna stared at the open door for a few minutes. Reluctently she closed it. Naruto walked to stand beside her. He put a hand on her shoulder. "Kisuna?" he asked. She seemed to be talking to someone else when she said, "Please... Don't let her be hurt..." Kisuna looked at Naruto and hugged him. Naruto blushed. Kisuna burried her face into his shoulder. "I'm scared. She has to be so stubborn!" By some unknown force, Naruto's arms were pulled around her. They stood silently in each other's arms. "She'll be okay." He whispered.
