Kitai: Let the story begin!

--------------------------------

Daylight had soon come in the village of the Mist. Team 7 was ready to take on the ninja of the Mist. "It's a castle, but hidden in the mist." Kakashi said.

"Nani?" said the four ninja.

The ninja they were going to take down were the most experienced ninja, a team of four, armed and ready to kill. The only way to find them is to go to the castle where they dwelled in. The only part of the castle that was visible was the entrance, no guarded at all. The rest of the castle was underground and what laid in the walls and floors was only a secret about to be found out.

"I've decided not to reorganize groups because there are two paths in the castle." Kakashi said sternly.

After his remark, they all set off to the castle of mist. The forest wasn't exactly a welcoming sign of hospitality. It was covered in mist, probably traps all over the place. Kitai breathed in and closed her eyes. She placed her hands on the ground and felt the forest revealing all its secrets.

"No traps, I'll be guessing it's because all of the mist villagers are too afraid to come here even when it is visible. The castle is nearby; we should get there in no time." Kitai explained.

The team ran through and finally reached the castle. There were no guards around it, it would have probably meant that everyone that entered would have been killed. They walked inside and saw two passageways, just as Kakashi said. "Now this is the part where I must trust you all."

"What do you mean Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asked.

"I will take one path by myself, the other passage way, the four of you will take, I hope to see you all alive later." Kakashi said walking into the passage.

"Hai" the four said in agreement.

They walked in and saw darkness, the lights started to light around them and stared to walk more steadily. Kitai swallowed and shook her head, Stop it! Only three remain to be killed or to survive. I can't risk anything.

Naruto lead and whispered, "Guys, be careful, you don't want to die or anything, do you?"

He took a step forward and another, he took another and the stone was pushed in. Sakura looked and was about to yell but as soon as she opened her mouth, the stone floor opened up as door and Sakura fell in. "AAAAHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

Sasuke bent down quickly and grabbed her hands. He pulled her in and she was about to cry, "Don't cry Sakura-chan, at least you didn't die, now the choice of you dying is eliminated, you're safe." Sasuke whispered into her ear.

She stopped immediately and hugged Sasuke. Kitai shoved Naruto in the head and took lead, she stepped carefully, but for a moment, she paused. She trembled with fear, two down, and two to go.

"Kitai-chan, what's wrong?" Sasuke asked.

She shook her head and took five steps forward. The sixth and a hole opened in the wall and shot a pin at her neck. She was hit and fell to the immediately. Her eyes were closed and a mist ninja appeared in front of the team. "Hit by a dream quill, she will sleep to her will. Until I disappear, I will be her greatest fear. The only way to revive her is to make her nightmares a blur. If she cannot awaken, her spirit will leave her body forsaken. In other words, she'll die, and you'll all say goodbye."

Kakashi

He walked down the passageway which started to become cold as winter's punishment. He shivered and came upon a room with music being played by a young beautiful girl. She did not speak but only played. He sat down and watched her. "You play wonderfully."

"Please help yourself; I am not only but a prisoner in this castle, ready to serve anyone who comes in." She spoke in a small tone.

He helped himself to a piece of bread, "Are there no other rooms in this corridor?"

"I'm afraid not. I am trapped her for an eternal life of slavery." She said sitting next to Kakashi.

"And yet… there are no guards to keep you from escaping." He said. "And you call yourself a prisoner."

"You've found me out, but now since you did, I'd like to play this tune, of DEATH." She thrust her hand across Kakashi's arm, he leaped away.

He felt a small amount of blooding coming out. He looked at her fingers, armed with sharp nailed ready to tear the flesh off of him. Her hands shot out a barrage of sharp metal and Kakashi's eyes widened. No matter what, we're all coming back alive. He thought.

Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kitai

The ninja left the corridor laughing manically leaving the four all alone once more. Kitai's body twitched and started to sweat. "We can't just leave her like this; she's going to die if we don't do anything!" Sakura shouted.

Sasuke was in deep thought while Naruto looked at Kitai who was starting cry. "K-Kitai-chan… is crying?" He said unbelievably.

Sakura and Sasuke knew what was going to happen soon enough. Kitai's eyes closed even more tightly and Sasuke looked at her. Kitai started to scream. "If we don't do anything soon, she's not just going to have a nightmare but hallucinations." Sasuke said.

Sakura took Kitai's kunai bag and opened it. She took out a kunai. "Sakura-chan, what are you doing!" Naruto shouted.

"Pain can wake you up from a nightmare or dream, can't it?" Sakura said raising the kunai.

She put her arm down and had cut Kitai's leg. Kitai's eyes opened, Sakura and Naruto sighed with relief. "No, she didn't wake up, she's having hallucinations." Sasuke said.

"I can't… wake up..." Kitai whispered. "The quill is… making me… kill myself… emotionally and… physically."

Kitai's body moved backward and the stone moved in. A barrage of needles and shuriken launched itself at Kitai. She screamed in pain as the needles set their places inside of Kitai's body. "No… No… Stop it! STOP IT!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

Her hands were to her head and she started to scream in pain. She stepped back once more; the steps she was taking were on the tiles that were trapped. Floor doors opened and Kitai fell in screaming. Naruto grabbed her arm but started to slip. Kitai's possessed body slapped it off and was sent down into the pit. He dived in shouting, "Sasuke! Take care of Sakura! Don't any of you die, because nobody can die now!"

The doors closed and Sakura screamed, "NARUTO! KITAI! PLEASE COME BACK!"

Naruto and Kitai

Thud. Kitai bounced on the floor and stopped her screaming. Naruto landed on his feet kneeling. "Kitai-chan! Daijobou?"

She got up uneasily and spat out blood. Her eyes white with uncontrollable fury and took out a roll of bandages. She harshly wrapped some around her arms and legs. "I'm fine." She said quietly.

Naruto stood up and looked around. Nothing but the wall and the floor, made of stone, torches lit. "This must be a passage under the one we were just in." Naruto said.

Kitai moved her foot, "These two passageways are both equal in length. The one above has traps while the one we are in doesn't. But, this passage way leads to a door, enemies waiting. Sakura and Sasuke are halfway through the passage way above; we need to get back to them."

"No!" Naruto shouted. "I know we can't head back for them! They'd want us to go ahead! I know Sasuke and Sakura, they can handle themselves!"

She looked at him surprised and closed her eyes smiling. "Fine then, Naruto. Let's do things your way." She threw him a talisman. "Put it on your kunai, it'll help, just don't lose it."

Sasuke and Sakura

Sakura followed while Sasuke was careful where he stepped. "Sasuke-kun, what do you think of Kitai?"

No… Not again… Why now! He thought. "I like her, as a friend." He said urging to say, "Maybe even a little more than that."

Sasuke stepped on a stone, it went down and he didn't notice. Sakura ran to him, "Sasuke-kun! Watch out!"

She managed to get herself and him out of the kunais shot from the wall. She opened her clamped eyes and realized she was on top of Sasuke. She blushed and got off. Sasuke just looked ahead. The end of that passage was near. They went down stairs and saw more lights and steps. Sakura noticed talismans on the ground left for her and Sasuke. They picked them up and wrapped it around their kunai. They ran towards the end off the passage way. A door. What secrets may dwell behind this door, no one will ever know, not a witness to come back alive.

The door opened by itself and they stepped in not knowing what was expecting them.
