Chapter 17

Sacred Sword, Asage

"Hey look a shrine!" yelled Naruto. The squad went to a far of mountain near the village to train. Naruto jumped up the stairs to find a huge shrine. The red gate's white paper blew in the wind. "Wow!" yelled Sakura. "Very nice," said Kakashi-sensei. "Let's check it out!" said Naruto as he ran towards it. "Hi," said a voice behind Naruto. It was Kimiko walking up the stairs. Suddenly a man jumped out of the shrine with something wrapped in a cloth. Sakura screamed. "Stay on guard!" yelled Kakashi-sensei. Sasuke got in a fighting stance. Naruto was about to kick him when a girl jumped out of nowhere and did a hand sign. Suddenly a huge dog came out of her body and tore apart the man. The item dropped on the ground with a clunk. The girl jumped onto the ground and turned around. She was only 7 years old! "What the heck!" yelled Naruto! "Can I help you?" she asked. Sasuke noticed that there were kanji rotating around her hand in mid air. "What's that?" asked Sasuke, pointing at the kanji. 'Oh it's just part of being the protector," she said. "But you're a kid!" exclaimed Naruto. "Don't be rude Naruto!" yelled Sakura as she kicked Naruto in the head. Kimiko walked over to the girl. "What was that dog?" she asked. "Oh, well that's the priestess's former living dog, Koki," she said as the dog walked over to the girl. "I'm Shouri Kujyou," she said with a smile. "But your kind of young for this job?" said Kakashi-sensei. "I'm actually fourteen but every crescent moon and four months after I turn 7, kind of weird," said Shouri with a sigh. "Kind of weird!" yelled Naruto. "Naruto!" yelled Sakura as she kicked him again. "Why does that dog seem familiar?" thought Kimiko. The dog walked up to Kimiko and sniffed her. The dog started to rub her. Kimiko was shocked. Her inner self took over. She made sure to keep her head down. She petted the dog. "Koki," she whispered. "Who's this shrine to?" asked Sasuke. Shouri picked up the object and walked into the shrine. She came back a couple of minutes later and asked them if they wanted to come in.

"This shrine is dedicated to the most powerful priestess in Asia. Everyone gasped except Kimiko who kept very silent. The dog would not leave Kimiko's side. Shouri thought this was very odd but kept going. "The item is a sword. The sword's owner's main power was water so the sword originated from a cave underwater wich is the most valuable material in the world. Kakashi-sensei listened with interest but Kimiko seemed distant. The priestess's name was Priestess Moroko!" finished Shouri. Suddenly the whole room was filled with water. Sasuke looked around to see Shouri doing hand signs. She jabbed her hands in front of her and the japanese characters jumped into action. The water disappeared but everyone ended up outside. Sasuke looked around at everyone. Everyone was panting but Kimiko who had her head down. "Kimiko?" asked Sasuke. Kimiko stood up and looked up. Red eyes! Sasuke gasped. "Stay behind me!" yelled Kakashi-sensei, who dashed in front of Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke. Shouri looked at Kimiko and grrd. Shouri ran into the shrine and grabbed the sword. Kimiko looked at Shouri. "Give me the sword," said Kimiko calmly. Shouri grrd. "Me-Megumi Kasagima!" yelled Shouri. Megumi smirked. "So you know who I am," said Megumi calmly. Megumi averted her eyes at Sasuke. Koki stood in front of Sasuke. "Koki, you dare go against your master. Koki barked then whimpered. "That means she's Priestess Moroko!" yelled Sakura. Megumi smirked then glared. Yes…………….
