We all walked out of the cave and trudged through the sand trying to dodge giant dragons and robots with guns mounted on them.
"They're like roaches, there's no end to them!" Cliff said kicking a ball shaped robot into the air making it explode
"Tell me about it" I said punching a ball droid across the sand.
"Thunder Flare!" Sophia shouted as a sphere of lightning destroyed the rest of the machines
"Phew..." I rubbed my head
"Wasn't that easy?" Sophia asked smiling
"EASY!" I exclaimed "I almost died!"
"Since when is that a bad thing?" D3pa1 snickered
"Gr..."
"I Proclaim the will of the Enforcers" a voice said behind us
"NOOOOOOOoooOoOOoOOo!" I cried falling on my knees as my voice cracked "THERE'S NO END!"
"Air slash!" a blade of wind sliced between Roger and Nel slashing at the Proclaimer.
"Albel!" Fayt called
"Heey!" Roger called waving his little arms around. Kuro along with Albel jumped off Kuro's giant oversoul landing in tiny swirls of sand.
"Yo!" I greeted happily
"Yo"
"Kuro!" I cried running towards the black mage and throwing my arms around her
"ARG! LEMME GO!" Kuro screamed and threw me into the sand huffing.
"Oww..." I whimpered and stood back up "You didn't have to hit so hard"
"Hey, I can't help it" Kuro shrugged "Just don't touch me next time" I gave her my sheepish grin.
"Now, let's deal wth these two worms and get back to the Time gate" Albel said drawing his katana
"Stone rain!" Sophia shouted as a few boulders fell from the sky above the Proclaimers heads, I quickly did a seal
"Grand Fireball no jutsu!" I cried breathing fire into the boulders heating them into molten lava
"Hm, not bad" Kuro said
"Thanks"
"YAHOOO!" D3pa1 shouted taking out a giant rocket launcher "This is my lucky day!" she shot two rockets blowing up one Proclaimer. The other Proclaimer started to swirl around as the pillars of light started again.
"Piercing claw!" Roger cried as he took out a giant drill and spun into the Proclaimer destroying it. Kuro looked around and looked at the SO characters and D3pa1 and me
"Let's get going" she said "Kiako you're going to have to summon another summon because my Oversoul can't take everyone's weight.
"Yessir!" I said happily and bit my thumb drawing a circle on a nearby rock "I summon thy, Valefore, Winged Eagle of the sky!" Soon enough the Aeon dove from the sky and landed softly on the ground. I smiled and stroked his head
"Whoa, Another turkey?" Cliff asked and jumped back as Valefore nipped at him
"He doesn't like people calling him names" I said "Valefor, can you carry us? You just have to follow Kuro's Oversoul"
"It's not very far either" Kuro added. Valefor preened his feathers and bent down slightly
"Thank you!" I said hugging the Aeon around his neck and climbed onto his back with Roger, Nel, Sophia and Peppita. Kuro's Oversoul carried everyone else
"So what have you been doing lately?" I called over the wind to Kuro
"I was trying to figure out how the Time gate works" she called back
"So, did you figure it out yet?" I asked
"No! You think after two days I'd had figured it out already" she with sarcasim said "We need some sorta key to open the gate"
"Hello, remember me?" D3pa1 asked waving in Kuro's face.
"Oh, hey. I've been wondering where you were" Kuro said shaking D3pa1's hand
"Hey, how come she get's a hand shake and I get a punch?" I asked with my arms drooping at my sides.
"Quiet fool" Kuro said
"Why're you talking like Albel!" I asked
"It's habitual" Kuro said "He kinda rubs off ya"
ʓʓʓ
We landed and after giving Valefor some of that Apple pie I was saving, turned to the Spartans
"It's good to see you guys alive and well" I said.
"It's good to see you too" Church said
"Kitty!" Caboose said happily running up to me "I'm so glad you're back! Church and Gruff were being mean to me and so was Tucker!"
"It's Grif! Jesus!" Grif shouted.
"Church, Gruffy be nice" I grinned
"Now that's taking control!" Donut said "they kept talking about weird stuff, and wouldn't listen to my story of how my armour chaffs my skin so I have to wash my underwear everyday-"
"LEMME AT HIM!"
"Calm down dumb ass!"
"Well you're a kiss ass!" I sighed while Simmons and Grif bickered and turned to Maria.
"Any ideas?"
"Sophia has the power to connect" Maria said
"I'm sorry, I"m just in the way aren't I?" Sophia said hanging her head
"Stop complaining you maggot" Albel said
"Don't say that" Fayt said "Her powers haven't manifested yet" Maria rubbed her chin
"Maybe there's another way" she said and began to look around the gate with Cliff. Sophia whimpered and held her head
"What's wrong?" Fayt asked with a flash of concern
"My..head hurts..." Sophia said "I'm sorry, I'm in the way again..."
"Don't apologize, and don't be afraid to say when you're hurting" Fayt said.
"Out of the way fool" Kuro said pushing past Fayt and placing her hand on Sophia's forhead "Cure" there was a tiny pop said Kuro took a step back.
"Feel any better?" she asked
"My, my hand feels hot" Sophia said holding up her hands as symbols began to appear around them.
"She's manifesting!" Maria said, with a brilliant flash the symbols from Sophia's hands struck the gate.
"Whoa" Cliff said as a bubble kinda looking film stretched across the Time gate "So that's 4D space huh?"
"No, that's the bridge in the Mist country!" I cried "I'm a coming guys!"
"Anyway, is everyone ready to get back to their normal worlds?" Kuro asked. Nearly everyone nodded, well, Fayt and his gang didn't need to.
"Well, here goes!" I said bravely "We'll enter groups of three"
"Why three?" Grif asked
"Because all RPG or Final Fantasy games the parties travel in groups of three" I said "Unless it's FF IX, then that's different"
"So, we ever going to see you guys again?" Cliff asked
"Don't worry, I'll find and kill every one of you maggots when I get back" Albel said grinning evilly.
"Yeah, we'll be looking forward to that too skirty..." Cliff said and waved "See ya guys, good luck"
"You too!" I waved "And be careful! Don't go dying again!" Cliff grinned
"Hey I'm Cliff Fittir remember?" he said "I ain't goin' down easy!"
"I know you won't" I smiled then turned to my two friends "Ready?"
"I've been ready for two days, yes I'm ready!" Kuro growled but had a smile.
"I guess" D3pa1 said "But can't BM come with us!"
"If you wanna mess up the portal and send us to another dimension, go ahead" Kuro said
"Oh fine..." D3pa1 pouted "Bye BM! I'll miss you alot!"
"And I'll miss that pretty little ass of yours" BM said. D3pa1 pulled out a grenade
"Don't make me leave this as a parting gift!" she threatened.
"Ok, hold hands so we don't get seperated again" I said
"Oh that would be tragic..." Kuro retorted "Albel, you follow after us with whoever. I don't care as long as it's not the pink guy or the blue guy or the tennis ball head"
"Don't give me orders fool" Albel said "You worms! Don't follow me!" he pointed to the group
"No problem there..." Grif muttered. I took a breath
"GO!" I dragged D3pa1 and Kuro with me as I jumped into the Time gate swished with more colors.
ʓᧄʓ
I landed on the ground on my knees and was smushed into the ground as D3pa1, then Kuro landed on me
"Man you guys are heavy!" I said as they got off me
"Sorry" D3pa1 said and looked around "Why is it so foggy?"
"We're at the bridge!" I cried "Chichiri? Kakashi? Anybody I know?" I ran out into the mist and looked side to side.
"Rekka Shinen!" there was a flare of fire. There! I ran towards the flames and soon enough saw the demonic mirrors of Haku.
"Tasuki!" I dove into the dome and saw Sasuke and Naruto on the ground motionless. I drew a sharp breath and touched Sasuke's arm. It was stone cold, I looked at Naruto and saw he was most likely knocked out.
"Kiako-chan?" I heard a voice say and looked up to see Chichiri's face
"thank god you're still alive!" I cried and almost hugged him "Is Tasuki alright?" I felt a bonk of my head
"Course I'm alive stupid!" Tasuki said "And where've you been the past hour!"
"Hour? I was, uh, trying to find my way back up the bridge" I lied. Damn I almost forogt about the time change! "Sorry" I heard a rustle and looked up seeing Haku in his mask
"Well, where did you come from?" he asked and jumped to another mirror "Your other friends didn't seem to be much of a fight, forgive me"
"You killed Sasuke-kun!" I exclaimed and glared "Ooh I should punch you for that..." I compressed my chakra again and ran towards a mirror
"Chakra BOMB!" I thrust my palms against the ice and it made a popping sound as it began to crack.
"Great job Kiako-chan!" Chichiri said and gasped as a needle hit his arm
"Chichi- OWW!" I fell over as a needle shish-ka-bobbed my calf. I saw Haku in a mirror closest to Tasuki and ran throwing a few shurikens. Then grapped Tasuki and doing a few seals, trapped him in a bubble
"Hey! What're you doing!" he shouted as I pushed him out of the ice dome and gave it a savage kick as it rolled away into the mist.
"KANT!" Chichiri shouted as his red chi blast knocked Haku into a mirror
"Impressive, you can focus your chi into an attack" Haku said and I saw a few glints in the air "I'm sorry, but you must die" Haku said and the needles began to fall. I sent out a chakra blast to stall the needles but they kept coming faster. I curled into a ball and heard little tinks
"Kiako-chan! Are you ok?" Chichiri asked holding his necklace while a barrier surrounded us
"Yeah, thanks" I said and looked up
"A barrier too?" Haku said "Very impressive, forgive me" he dove down driving needles into the barrier. Chichiri shoved me out of the way and jump back just as Haku's needles slashed off his pant leg. Haku put his hand into a half tiger seal as the water rose up and struck at me. I held up my arms to protect myself but the water splashed harmlessly against my arms.
"Ano?" I looked up and a needle flew into my side and thigh. I fell on my knees and tried to pull the needles out
"I suggest you don't do that" Haku said "If you do, the artery I hit will start to bleed" I gritted my teeth and left it. For some reason, I couldn't get up...
"I also hit your main muscle, so you won't be able to move" Haku said holding up a needle.
"Why do you work for Zabuza?" I asked. Haku stared as me.
"I want to protect my precious person, and help his dreams come true" Haku said "That, is my dream"
"That doesn't explain why you have to stay with that evil man" I said yanking the needle out of my leg and staggering up "Why do you have to stay with Zabuza?"
"Do you know? Not having a dream, Not being needed by anyone... The pain of simply living" Haku said. I blinked those words familiar to me
"Why is Zabuza the only precious person to you!" Chichiri demanded using his staff for support.
"He took me in, knowing I was of an advanced bloodline" Haku said "Now, if someone who acknowleaged you from the bottom of their heart appeared, wouldn't that someone be the most precious person to you?" I inhaled sharply thinking of D3pa1 and Kuro.
"Yes..." I nodded but kept my hands balled into fists
"Becoming a true shinobi in difficult for me" Haku said "If possible, I don't want to have to kill you, nor want you to kill me. But if you come at me, I can destroy my kind heart with a blade and become a true shinobi" I felt enraged
"What about Sasuke and Naruto!" I screamed "YOU HURT AND KILLED THEM!"
"Please don't hate me" Haku said " I want to protect someone precious to me, to work for that person, to fight for that person, to make that person's dreams come true"
"Well, it's too late for that" I went into a fighting stance "You already hurt and killed two of my friends, and for that I'll never forgive you" I said and sighed "But I won't kill you..."
"Are those two your precious persons?" Haku asked. I looked up at him
"Yes, they are!" I shouted and prepared to use Grand fireball again.
"Hijutsu! Sensatsu Suishou no Jutsu" (Flying water needles).
"Kiako! Get down!" I turned around and the chakra I was compressing dispersed as I saw hundreds of needles diving down at me, I covered my head and felt something ram into me throwing me to the concrete floor. I heard a cough and something splattered onto my cheek, I looked up and my eyes widened
"You...Have to be more...Careful.. Kiako-chan... No-da" Chichiri said on top of me with blood speckled around his lips. His eye closed and he collapsed on top of me.
ʓʓʱ
"Chichiri? CHICHIRI!" I cried lifting him up, looked on his back and saw all the needles that were aimed at me "Why did... " his eye was only half open and he managed a smile
"You've...got... Blood..." he lifted his hand up and tried to wipe the blood splatter on my cheek "On you're...face..."
"Chichiri don't say anything! I'll heal you right now!" I said trying to focus on WM dress sphere, when I couldn't focus I rummaged through my kimono for the grid "Please Chichiri don't die!"
"Heh, I've always... kind of...liked...you-" his hand fell from my face and I caught it. My eyes began to blur and sting as my chest tightened
"CHICHIRI!" I screamed "Why did you... DAMMIT! BAKA! I DIDN'T NEED YOU TO SAVE ME! YOU DIDN'T NEED TO SAVE ME! YOU COULD'VE LIVED ON GONE ON WITH YOUR LIFE!" I slapped the ground continously with my fists crying and sobbing. I saw the water needles on his back had turned back into water. I gently layed him down on the ground wiping the blood off his lips and my fallen tears off his face. I slowly looked up at Haku, who was in a mirror once again.
"He, was your precious person wasn't he?" he asked. I slightly nodded
"Kiako-chan?" Naruto sat up rubbing his head "When did you... What happened to Chichiri-sempai!" I glanced at him feeling my tears stream down my face
"Sasuke-kun and Chichiri are...Gone..." I croaked out. Naruto's eyes widened and his eyes dialated, he looked at Sasuke
"Don't worry..." he said "I hated you too..." his hands clenched into fists as a strange red aura surrounded him.
"Naruto..." I felt the hairs at the back of my neck stand up
" You killed two of my friends...I'LL RIP YOU APART!" Naruto roared as his eyes changed from blue to red. I gasped and was thrown back by his demonic chakra. Slowly it began to form the shape of a grinning fox, his chakra swirled around him cutting the ground and becoming larger. I looked at where Chichiri's body was and dived towards it picking it up and jumping out of the mirrors. All the needles in Naruto's body flew out and his cuts began to heal. Haku dove out of a mirror from above trying to spear Naruto who spun in the air out of the way and grabbing Haku's wrist.
"HAAAAARRR!" Naruto roared again blasting out chakra everywhere knocking me back again. Naruto drew his fist back and with another roar punched Haku sending him careening through his own mirrors. The mirrors slowly made little pops it they began to crack and shatter. Naruto charged forward as Haku's mask slowly fell from his face revealing the gentle soft look of a boy.
"Naruto, Stoppit" I said and screamed "DON'T KILL HIM!"
ʓʓʓ
Naruto's fist was only half an inch from Haku's face.
"Y-You're the kid I met in the forest!" he said shaking
"Why do you hesitate?" Haku asked "I killed your precious person" Naruto looked back at Sasuke and gritted his teeth
"D-DAMMIT!" Naruto shouted punching Haku in the face sending him flying.
Haku staggered backwards then wiped the blood off his mouth
"What happened to your intensity?" he asked "You can't kill me with that, isn't he your precious person?"
"There are people who make this mistake" Haku said "Not killing their enemy because of pity, letting them leave with their lives. That does nothing for me"
"Just giving up on living doesn't do anything for anyone" I said standing behind Naruto.
"As I said before, Not having a dream, Not being needed by anyone... The pain of simply living" Haku said with a smile "Zabuza-san has no need for a useless shinobi, you have taken away my reason for existing"
"You know, I used to say that to myself all the time, even now I still think that." I said my hand holding my forhead "But I try to make it up, just seeing my friends happy, as long as they're happy, is good enough for me, They-" I looked at him "They are the only precious people I have, why is Zabuza the only one for you?"
"A long time ago, I had people dear to me." Haku said "My...Parents" Haku took a breath
"Parents?" Naruto asked
"I was born in a small snowy village in the Water country. They worked hard in the fields just to get by, but my parents were satisfied with that. I was happy, my parents were very kind people. but...Around the time of my earliest memories something happened"
"Something? What happened?" I asked. Haku wiped the blood from his mouth and stared at it on his hand.
"This blood..." Haku said and was silent, I waited for his answer "My father killed my mother, then he tried to kill me" I flinched
"What else?" Naruto asked.
"The Water country had experienced endless civil wars, and those with an advanced bloodline came to be hated." Haku continued "Special jutsu's passed down from father to son, or grandfather to grandson within certain clans. Because of these bloodlines, clans with such power were used as weaons in countless battles. As a result these clans were blamed for bringing misfortune and war into the country."
"But then, wouldn't that be like racism? Or stereotype or something?" I asked. I could never get those two seperated.
"Because of this, these clans had to hide the truth about their own powers, for those whose secret was discovered, only death awaited." Haku said "My mother was from one of these advanced bloodlines. She hid that fact and lived with my father likely hoping the peaceful life would continue for a while...No, forever. but my father discovered our secret. When I awoke, I found my father was..."
"Gone" I said closing my eyes again and using the tip of my thumb to wipe away a tear
"At that time, I thought of myself as...No... I had no choice but to think that and I realized it was the most painful thing..."
"The most painful thing?"
"That in this world, I am a person that is unwanted" Haku said. I let out a shuddering breath
"You know, it's pretty much the same with me" I said quietly. Haku gently began to smile
"Zabuza-san desired these abilities, these abilities everyone hated" Haku smiled "I was so happy!" Haku closed his eyes for a moment and walked towards me. I took a step back reflexively
"Naruto-kun and Kiako-chan was your name right?" Haku said "Please do me a favor"
"What?" I asked with Naruto beside me breathing hard.
"Please, Kill me"
ʓᦽʓ
I froze staring straight into his brown eyes
"Why do you hesitate?" he asked. I jumped backwards
"I can't...I can't kill another person!" I cried "Even if I had the chance to, even had to courage to, I wouldn't be able to kill anyone! Even beating up that kid in grade six made me regret it and cry!"
"Please, I'm asking you. Please...Zabuza has no use for a tool like me" Haku said.
"Tool? Weapon!" Naruto shouted "That's stupid!"
"Please, Zabuza-san has no use for a weak shinobi like me..." Haku said. Naruto gritted his teeth and whipped out a kunai.
"Kiako, go help Sakura defend Tazuna!" Naruto said "this isn't going to be a pretty sight..." I nodded and turned to Haku
"I'm sorry, please forgive me, Naruto, I'm also sorry..." I said bowing sightly and ran past him through the mist, that began to clear slightly. I saw two figures on the ground and was scared it was Sakura and Tazuna or the others that were dead. When I reached the two, it was Kel, whom was leaning against the bridge railing with Zero knocked out with a slash on his stomache
"Kiako!" Kel said surprised "Glad you're ok"
"I'm glad you guys're still alive" I said and kneeled beside Zero "Is he still alive?"
"Just barely" Kel said "He needs help now otherwise he's not gonna make it" I thought of WM dress sphere and place my hand on the cut as a blue healing aura surrounded my hand. Zero let out a groan
"Arg, what the hell..." he muttered and his helmet head tilted upwards "Kiako?"
"Stop moving around" I said and cast Regen on him "Where's Sakura and Kakashi?"
"Sakura's right over there" Kel pointed to where a small pink object was "And Kakashi's somewhere over there" I nodded
"You guys going to be ok?" I asked
"We'll be fine, I'll look after Zero" Kel said.
"Ok" I ran into the mist and heard sounds of battle.
"You're very presistant Kakashi" I heard Zabuza say
"I won't let you kill this only villages source of hope!" Kakashi said "You took my comrades lives, now I'll take yours!"
"Comrade? You mean that useless cat and silver haired boy?" Zabuza laughed "You're such a fool!" I drew a shuriken and closed my eyes. Silver images flew into my vision once more and I saw the outline of a giant sword and a kunai as well as the people holding them.
"Bacon flavored mashmallows!" I said to myself in a rythem throwing five shurikens at once at the sword. Most of them missed but one just managed to glance Zabuza's arm
"Nani!" Zabuza looked towards me
"Kiako-chan! Run away!" Kakashi ordered throwing Zabuza aside.
"No time for that!" I said quickly "If you can just stall him a bit and I can summon something that'll at least hold him still" I ran towards my blood circles and rubbed them clean..ish... then biting my thumb started drawing a new circle.
"Kiako-chan! Run!" Kakashi shouted but grunted as he was shoved savagly to the ground and Zabuza charged at me with light speed. I closed my eyes waiting for the blade. D3pa1, Kuro, Kosarai-nii san, Sannu, I'm sorry. I guess I might be able to see you again...
Chichiri.
Authors notes: AWW MAN! MY INTERNET IN MY ROOM GOT CUT OFF! Well, at least I've still got the computer... These episodes of Naruto were so sad! I cried to hard! And I even found the perfect music for the scenes! I learned so much from these episodes... Well! I hope you enjoyed this chapter! It would've been longer, but I decided to cut the chapter in half so it wasn't so long. (Kuro would've killed me) Hope you liked this!
