First: I'm really sorry I took so long to up date. I had graduation, state track meet (got 5th place in yay), and no internet. I am very sorry.
Second: Thank you Ookima for helping me with this chapter. You are so wonderful!!!
Pairings: Gaara/Naru, Sasu/Naru
Warnings: The always smiling, nothing can get him down Naruto will not be here. After his trauma, Naruto's personality will take a turn for the colder. At least around his teammates and some others. (He no longer trusts them...) Plus I this is late but OOC.
Disclaimer: Me no own any Naruto characters, but I will have originals in here and they are mine. Ok? Good.
"Blah" Speech
'Bark' Thinking
(cha) Ukata [roar] Kyuubi ::sha:: me time
Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Powerful Fireball Technique): This Ninjutsu is a very powerful technique, and most Genins are not capable of performing it due to the large amount of chakra it uses. The user must first gather a large amount of chakra in his hand and mouth; this attack is pretty similar to a flamethrower. The mouth shoots out fire and one hand is placed just out of the lips to control it into one large fireball.
Chapter 5: Old Friends, Old enemies
"So Kakahi-san... Where might they hide?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"Well, who would know how they think better than their sensei?"
"I don't think I know all of them as well as I should have." I looked at him with a questioning look. But knowing well as to whom he was talking about, I didn't push it.
"I believe we are hitting around three o'clock. I think if this goes on till five or so we should call it a day. Or we could always camp outside as part of survival training. Then they really would need to hunt. Wouldn't you say Kakashi-san?"
"Hai."
"There is one thing they need to learn more efficiently, and that's-"
"They need to cover their trail."
'How sad...' I give a sigh as we get nearer. Then I hear a snap as my foot hits the ground. "Oh crap..." Seven shirakens are flying towards us and we jump out of the way. Kakashi lands on another trap and the trees blow up around us.
"Looks like they've gotten better at setting traps." I look at him then to the position our prey is.
"We know you're here so let the game start." We took out kunais and charge the large tree that stands in front of us. Sasuke and the others blow a hole in the tree to escape. I must say, that I didn't like the way of escape, but that couldn't be helped.
Sasuke charges me first and Sakura follows while Kakashi has his hands full with Naruto. 'Yes show him your potential Naruto-kun...'
No Pov
Naruto dashed towards Kakashi to kick him in the head, but was blocked by Kakashi's arms. Kakashi slid back from the force but remained standing and he in turn set a punch to Naruto's chest. Naruto went flying into a bush, then a pop was heard.
"Nani? That was a copy?"
"He he, didn't expect that did you Kakashi-sensei?"
"No I didn't. But that will not happen a second time."
"Can you be sure of that? Couldn't I be a clone as well? Just like the one you just fought?" Naruto was having fun with this. He wanted to see how far he could push Kakashi before he went full out with him.
"Look at who I found..." Aya froze after hearing that voice. Everyone noticed her reaction and stopped their fight then and there and waited for the supposed attack.
"I don't want to here it..." Her eyes were full with panic and she scanned the area.
"Are you alright Aya?" Naruto asked her, but received no answer. They continued to search the area with their eyes, looking for the source of her discomfort. Then they turned to her hearing her growl. Her eyes shifted to an amber color, while her fingernails were soon replaced by sharp claws, and her ears changed from the normal human ears, by those that resembled a canine dog.
Sakura's eyes widened in horror as things started to register in her head. "What is she...?"
"She's a demon." Naruto just stood there, his eyes showed no emotions, like a mask has covered his face to hide his feelings.
"I suggest we get out of her way." Kakashi stated, while he pushed his students away from their once sparing partner. "It looks like her mind is unstable at the present moment."
"How would you know that?" Sasuke voiced his opinion. He sounded angry, but the boy was actually interested in the answer he would get.
"Out of boredom and waiting for more Icha Icha Paradise books to come out, I read a book about demon's psyche."
"You have weird hobbies Kakashi-sensei." Sakura sighed at her teacher, not wanting to know any other hobbies, whether good or bad about her sensei.
"Come back to play? Well I'm not in the mood." Aya was livid. Her voice was filled with hatred and her aura gave out, her strong intention to kill.
"But we haven't played in a long time. I miss it."
"I bet you do." A figure came out of the shadows wearing a smirk on his face. "Aya it's so good to see you again."
"I can't say that I feel the same way..." She took a crouching position, hands pressed against the ground, ready to attack, if needed. The only emotion she showed, was how serious she was about this battle. She then charged forward at great speed, as her target remained in place. Once she got close enough, she trusted her right hand forward with the intention to slit his throat in one, but deadly move. Unfortunately, at the last second, he dodged her attack. Once he regained his fighting stance, he quickly lifted his leg in attempt to kick her in the midsection, but she managed to evade it as well. "Well this will get us no where."
"It does seem that way." He gave off a small chuckle that sent Aya blazing in anger.
For the second time, she charged at him. Only inches away from her opponent, she prepared to strike, as he was ready to block or evade it, but what came next, surprised and shocked him. She vanished from his sight. Before he could even react, Aya reappeared behind him, as she managed to kick him, right in the back of his head. Unprepared for this surprise attack, he lost his balance, as his entire body hit the ground. Aya gave him no time to fight back, as she brought her hands together and quickly formed many hand seals. She performed Katon Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Powerful Fireball Technique), as she brought her right hand up to her mouth, fingers extended to side of her mouth, as fire shot out of her mouth and directly headed for her opponent. Seto screamed as though he was in total agony, while the others that were simply observers, flinched from the high pitched voice that filled the air. Aya couldn't help but smile when she heard the scream.
When the fire died down he was gone. "Come on Seto. I know you're out there, fight me!"
"Oh and I shall." A wave of energy went through the forest. It was unlike anything team seven has felt before.
"What the hell was that!" Naruto was frantic not knowing what was happening.
"It was a jutsu. I'll show you." His smirk grew as he looked at Aya. Her face was literally filled with fear and horror. "Ah, I see you remember this jutsu... don't you?"
"3"
"2"
"1"
Within a second, Aya fell on her knees, eyes widened, as images appeared within her mind. Far away memories, some were better forgotten. The memories of her parents, of how they were killed. How the humans terrorized her when she was much younger. The images of many events passed through her mind so quickly, that they seemed to be nothing more than blurry images, until they began to slow down. Slaughters, wars, innocence. Everything that looked good at the present moment shattered and turned into something evil. Light became infinite darkness.
She held her head within her hands, while she rocked back and forth, moaning as if she was in pain. Though her pain was not physical, but mental and spiritual, it could sometimes be judge as even worse, when one relived painful memories of the past. She shot her head towards the sky, eyes widened, as tears flowed freely out of them, her arms fell numbly beside her body, as a soul shattering scream escaped from her lips. Then all of a sudden time seemed to stop. The screaming, the tears, the memories, the darkness. Everything came together as like one thing that could not be determined. The only thing that was heard was her heavy breathing.
Her head came back down. Her shoulders were shaking as though she was trembling but no one could tell. Her hands once again formed hand seals but Seto couldn't tell because her back was towards him. She stood up, much to everyone's surprise. She turned around and disappeared again. Seto didn't have time to react when Aya reappeared before his very own eyes. She raised her trembling hand to his face and cupped his cheek, while their eyes make contact and she smiles. Caught off guard, Seto didn't have time to react as Aya quickly let herself fall on the ground as she quickly kicked him in the legs, forcing him to fall on his back.
Aya stood back up as she approached her opponent, that lay on his back, against the ground. Her eyes locked with his, death shining in her amber eyes.
"What did you do to me?"
"Immobilized you." Seto's eyes widened. "You know that my greatest technique is chakra retrieval. This will be fun for me, but relatively painful for you." She lowered her head until she was inches away from his. To everyone's astonishment she kissed him.
After a few seconds, she slowly pulled away and opened her mouth in the process. Surprisingly enough, he does the same. Blue chakra began to come out of Seto's mouth as it entered Aya's instead, as his energy became her own. When there was nothing more to gain, she stepped away from him and smiled. "I know who you really are. Though it was fun, I do not like an opponent who copies others just to gain an advantage." Seto's body slowly disappeared until it became only dust. Aya stood up and faced team 7.
"How could you do something that horrible..." Sakura's voice was quiet and trembled
"Very easily."
"HOW!?"
"That is my way of surviving. You have your way, by running away, my way is to steal my enemy's chakra until there is nothing left and they die. Though I wish the real person was dead and not the fake. But it was fun non the less."
"How could you be this horrible?" Sakura was on her knees crying at the scene she just witnessed, lost as to what to do or think. The others remained silent not knowing what to say.
Her voice was thoughtful as she spoke looking at the small girl in front of her. "This is not horrible. Grow up a little, you'll see things far worse than this. I promise you. I learned the hard way the about the darkness of the human heart." Her voice all of a sudden became cold. "Humans are no better than what you say demons are. I find humans far worse."
Sakura got up and slapped Aya. "Don't you ever say that about our race. You're the evil one. Look at what you did to him. He was helpless to defend himself. Yet you did that..."
"Yes I did. But you know what? You don't care about what he did to me, because I'm only a cold blooded demon who cares for no one and nothing." Aya turned to leave but turned back. "You know, mental attacks are not the things his jutsus attacks. Now if you excuse me I must go to the hospital."
"We will follow you." Kakashi placed a hand on Sakura's should to silence her before she could say anything else. Kakashi pushed Sakura along and started to follow Aya to the hospital, while Naruto and Sasuke not far behind.
Once at the hospital Aya went to the help desk.
"How may I help you Miss?"
"I need a room to be in at the present moment."
"What is the problem?"
"You'll find out soon enough." Aya began to cough, as blood began to show and color her lips more. Her eyes glazed over and fell to the ground. The nurse came running to her side calling for doctors and rushed her off into one of the many hallways of the hospital.
"You three stay here I'll be back in a few minutes."
"Where are you going?" Sasuke was pissed now and you could hear it in his voice as he glared at his sensei.
"I'm getting the Hokage." His students just stood there not saying anything. Kakashi vanished in a swirl of leaves.
"I'll be back in a sec also." Sakura turned to leave.
"And where do you think you're going?"
"Out." She left. Walking down the street she spotted the person she was looking for and ran up to her. "Ino!! Wait up."
Ino turned after hearing her voice called. "What do you want Sakura?" She did sound that happy to see her.
"You know that person that was hanging out with Naruto lately?" Ino nodded. "Well it turns out that she is a demon and she's in the hospital now because she got into a fight with some strange person."
Ino's patience was wearing thin though she was interested in what her rival had to say. "Get to the point."
"I was wondering if you could get inside her head so I can know why she hates humans so much."
"Why would I want to do something like that?"
"Well she said that Humans are no better than what we say about demons. Plus she says that the humans are far worse than anything. I want to know why she thinks she has the right to say that before she gets to know us."
"Fine."
"What?"
"I said fine. I'll do it."
"Come with me."
------------------------------------ Hokage's room -------------------------------------------
Kakashi came running in the Hokage's room much to her annoyance only to find Shikamaru in the room as well. He mumbled an apology for interrupting and ignores him. "Hokage-sama, there a problem. It's about--"
"Yes I'm aware of what is going on. Shikamaru has told me about it."
Kakashi looked at Shikamaru's lazy expression. "So you're the one who was following us around." He just nodded but said nothing else.
"We need to leave now to see what happened to her." All three left the room and went straight to the hospital.
----------------------------------------- Hospital ---------------------------------------------
Tsunade asked where Aya was kept and went to the room followed by Kakashi and his team, Shikamaru and Ino.
"What are you doing here Ino?"
"I saw Sakura and thought I pop in to see what was happening. What about you?"
"A mission."
The rest of the walk was done in silence.
TBC?
