Lacey: Finally, I get to whoop this guy's ass!
Gloria: Little sister, calm down.
Gaara: Hey, Lacey, You set off to find me and I'm not even in this chapter…
Lacey: You were in it, chill out.
Naruto: You pulled out a necklace and didn't use it…
Lacey: -sweat drop- Shut up you idiot.
Any-who… Finally I get the chance to kill Ookami, Blade's father. He is the one who forced me into killing mom and dad!
Gloria: Sis, are you serious!
Lacey: Yap and I'm rearin' to kill him!
Naruto: If you don't die first…
Lacey: I'm pretty sure I told you to shut up!
Naruto: -Sweat drop- a little moody today aren't yas…?
Lacey: Shut up already Naruto!
I looked up to see the same shadowy man as in my childhood. I reached for my batons. 'Shit! They're not there!' I looked at Naruto nervously. 'I can't get anybody hurt because of my damn curse again!' I stood up and stepped in front of Naruto. Trying to think of something fast, I pulled out a necklace. Blade was tossed from behind the man. I stared at him in shock. "Blade!" I shouted. I fell to my knees in front of him. I put my hands on either side of his head and pulled him up. "Are you ok?" I asked franticly. I picked him up because he was smaller than me and held him on my arms. "Naruto, run..." I whispered to behind me. "Now!" I shouted. Naruto stood and stayed as I turned to run. "Naruto!" I yelled. He smirked. "He can't beat me!" He insulted.
"No Naruto! I hate to put you down but he's freakishly strong!" I answered. Tears rolled down my face. After staring at mother and father on the ground I looked at the man. Though my face was smirking, my heart was not. "Who are you!" I yelled. He let out an evil chuckle as he said. "Ookami Kuziru." I stared in shock and awe up at him. "Y-you're B-blade's... Blade's..." I stammered. "Tell me, are you Ookami?" I asked. He simply didn't answer. I set Blade gently along the ground. I got in the correct position and before I knew it, I had quickly run behind my batons. "Whoa, her speed is awesome; she's almost faster than Bushy Brows..." Naruto muttered. I quickly untied my headband from my hair and tied it on my waste on top of my bow. My hair almost reached to my feat. I twirled the ribbons around me and once again I had teleported myself behind Ookami. With a chuckle I wrapped my ribbons around his neck but in my surprise, a large log appeared in a large cloud of smoke. "Damn! A Replacement Jutsu!" I turned around and felt something stab through my hand. "Shit!" I shouted.
"Naruto, could you do me a favor?" I looked at him menacingly. He shrugged. "What do you want me to do? I can knock this weirdo out for you." I shook my head. "Go get my sister, Gloria; she's down in the forest. You'll see her." I said.
By the time Naruto was back with Gloria, I was already on the ground trying my hardest to fight for a little longer. "Gloria! You're good at medical stuff right?" She looked at Blade's unconscious on the ground. "Yeah but… I don't think he can make it!" She said as she kneeled to him. She looked back at Naruto. "Is he your friend sis?" She asked. "Yeah- UGH!" I was tossed to the ground again. I moved my fist along my chin wiping the blood from my bottom lip. "Lacey! He has a very low heartbeat and shallow breathes!" Gloria yelled. "Get him some help; I can't take this guy much longer!" I answered. "Try to keep him from dieing, he's only 11!" It only came to my attention now that he was younger and needed help. I'm 12 and Gloria's 13. Not to mention, Blade is the weakest on the team. "Take this!" I flung my ribbons at his throat in a last attempt. He simply laughed as his arm raised and he merely poked the ribbon and it snapped. I fell back in shock. "T-those were unbreakable…" I breathed. Even Gloria was in shock. Then it finally snapped in her. "Is that Ookami!" She exclaimed. Once again the familiar tears slipped off my face to the ground.
All of a sudden I heard Naruto running behind me. I turned around. "The shadow clone jutsu!" There appeared to be many Naruto's running at Ookami. 'I knew he was strong! But this… this is stronger then me!' I thought. I snatched my headband and put it back into my hair. I sweat-dropped as all the clones ricocheted back and disappeared in a cloud of smoke except for the real Naruto. I smirked and grabbed Naruto by the collar while he was still unconscious and yelled at Gloria to grab Blade and follow me. As we ran, Ookami just disappeared. I heard Gloria stop running. "Sis wha- uh!" I grunted as I saw Gloria staring unbelievably at Blade. "His fa- Ookami threw a knife at us and hit Blade right in the chest… H-he's d-dead…" I let go of Naruto immediately and fell to my knees crying. 'Blade was our best friend… Everyone else shot us out. H-He cant die! He just cant!' Naruto woke up. He gasped at the bloody knife and Blade dead on the ground. I choked down a sob. "I-I tried to make s-sure n-nobody will d-die because of him again! N-Now he even killed h-his own s-son!" I held both hands over my eyes. "What did I miss? Where am I? And what's with all the blood?" I turned around and embraced Naruto in my arms. "Hey, let me go!" He yelled. I looked at him and let go.
His face softened at the expression on mine. "Did he die?" He asked. I couldn't bring myself to answer. 'At least I-I didn't k-kill him…' "Hey what are you doing here!" I heard Naruto's voice say. I moved my hands off my eyes and looked up and saw Gaara and his team mates walking by. Suddenly I felt murderous. "Why am I crying?" I stood up and walked over to the blood puddle by Blade. "Heh." I chuckled as I squatted next to it and stuck my hand in the blood. "This isn't that sad, its just another pathetic life that is gone now and there is no need to worry about any more. I mean, like I always say, Fight only for yourself and love only yourself." Gaara stopped and the team followed. "I think I like this person." He smirked. Naruto stared at me in awe. "You were just bawling your eyes out!" He said as his jaw dropped. "Yap and I don't know why. I laugh at blood and pain and I really don't care what you think." I walked away as Gloria ignored me because she knew it would be over soon. Gaara just shrugged and followed. "Hey, why are we following this freak?" A girl asked behind Gaara. "Hey you guys, I know Gaara but who are the other two?" I asked coldly. "I'm Kankuro and this is Temari.", "I don't quite want you guys' attitude so wear these and I can explain later." I threw two necklaces to the ground and continued walking. 'I know they wont put them on, but it's worth a try.' Gaara continued following me.
I suddenly felt my normal attitude approaching back to me, Gaara was the one who put on the necklace.
