Chapter 2
In this story I wanted to put more of what I thought in it…….although its not the same as my other story, which I apologise isn't up anymore…….I didn't like writing it anyway…..but this is new and if there's anything wrong with it message…this one isn't going away…….
I think I know now why I new volunteer to train. Its hard work, something I don't like very much. Neji was constantly looking at my with Byakugen, Tenten was practically abusing my space with weapons and Lee was too enthusiastic. I only used my senbon to attack and that was enough work for me. Half way through I collapsed to the ground breathing heavily, I definitely don't work out much. Lee had to practically pry me from the tree I was holding so I'd train in taijutsu. After an hour or two I managed to get away just before running into another trap near the South Gate.
"Sasaki-chan!" shouted a voice behind me, I turned and saw Sakura running over looking deadly, I back away before going into a full frontal sprint. I made it to the West side before finally someone lunged on me. I rolled over to see who it was and saw Naruto. I wriggled against the grip knowing they would take me back to Kiba when I was actually looking and checking all areas of Konoha for an escape route.
"Get off me Uzumaki!" I screamed finally getting up before having another lunge at me. This time it was Kiba,
"Why you! Running off! Your dad told me you'd try and run away now you've got half the Village looking for you," he shouted at me, I struggled against him got away again but stood still.
"Kiba get away from me," I hissed "I wanted to get away!" I added before turning away from them and walking away, I saw Akamaru tottle over and walk besides me. I bent down and lifted him up, he steeled himself down on my head and I smiled.
"Akamaru!" shouted Kiba, he whimpered and sadly jumped off my head, and I shrugged and carried on. The reason I always tried to runaway was because in the Earth Country mom was targeted and dead. I was always hunting for the person who did it. The only thing I had left of her was her red forehead protector I kept wrapped around my neck.
"Where do you think your going now, loser," said a voice in a tree, I turned and saw Sasuke sitting in the tree lazily
"No of your business," I muttered before making it to an older part of the wall. I looked at it and slowly jumped up the trees around until I was up at the top.
"Oi, what are you doing there!" shouted a man with a senbon in his mouth like mine.
"Getting out!" I called as I jumped the other side of the wall and to the ground with a thud. I started running down the dirt path by the gate and started running.
"Oi get back here!" shouted the same guy from before, man was that guy fast. Soon he was right behind me
"Get away from me! I'm going home!" I shouted at him angrily
"Gomen but orders from Tsunade-sama not to let a Sasaki out the gates," he shouted speeding up still and grabbing the scruff of my shirt.
"Hey let go!" I screamed struggling
"Sorry darling, but you ain't going anywhere," he replied eventually I felt something press against the back of my neck at a pressure point, making me black out.
As I woke up I found myself being carried on someone's back.
"Nani?" I said quietly
"So your finally awake, its not even 12 on the arrival day and you've tried to run away," said Kiba waling into the Hokage building with me on his back. "You had Genma give you the chase of his life," he added and Akamaru barked
"Let me go dog boy," I hissed in his ear
"Not until we get to Tsunade-sama's office
"Look we're here," I said because I could hear my dad talking inside. We walked in and I also the rest of the Inuzuka's, Ichigo, my brother and Hisoka, my cousin.
"Oi, Tsunade-sama here's Sasaski-chan," said Kiba dumping me on the ground,
"I-i-Itai," I muttered standing up
"I see you've tried running away again," said Ichigo
"Shut up!" I shouted
"Silence!" shouted Tsunade "Nice attempt Amaya, but your not leaving." She said flatly
"I don't want to stay here," I whined lazily
"Be quiet," said my dad
"Starting tomorrow you, Amaya will be working in the Hospital, giving lessons and healing as a job. Ichigo, Hisoka and Shinji will be working as senseis," she explained
"What I have to teach little brats!" I shouted angrily
"Yes Amaya, deal with it," said Hisoka glaring at me, I huffed and sat down.
"There better," said Tsunade sighing "Anymore escape attempts will mean being trailed and if they continue solitary confinement for a month or two," she explained calmly
"Che! Like that'll stop me," I hissed
"You're dismissed, Sasaki-san your compound keys are here, it's next to the Inuzuka's," she said smiling and handing them over to my dad "Amaya please stay behind," she said I huffed again and didn't move. Once everyone was gone including Shizune she turned to me.
"Why do you try and escape?" she asked, I didn't reply "I'll stop your supply of ramen and force you to sleep in Inuzuka Kiba's room," she said, I grunted and nodded
"Years ago mom was killed protecting me and Ichigo during the assassination period. I want to track down and kill the person who did it," I explained lazily
"I see, it seems you are in the same position of Sasuke," she said
"Don't you dare say that, I hate him!" I shouted standing up
"You act like him as well," she said smirking and turning in her chair "Your mother was a great woman, it was really a shame to lose her," she started; I clenched my fists and unclenched at this. Who was she to start talking about mom as if she was really close to her! "She wouldn't want you to leave the safety of the Village," she added
"What the hell do you know of her, you met her rarely!" I screamed at her
"I knew her before you were born if that's enough for you!" she shouted back furious "You're dismissed, I expect you at the hospital around 9," she said before turning, I huffed and stormed out the room.
"Geez you're a hormonal teen," said a man outside
"What do you want oldie," I muttered
"Nothing and its natural, I'm not old," said the man lazily "Hatake Kakashi,"
"You should hit on people half you age," I said walking away
"It's called being kind, midget," he called
"Its Sasaki Amaya," I replied before turning the corner. I walked back to where the instructions were and came across an open gate compound with Hisoka sitting in the tree in the centre while Ichigo was throwing senbon at the dummy attached to it.
"Your back early," said Hisoka watching me,
"Hai, I hate that woman," I muttered
"What'd she say?" he asked
"Told me mom wouldn't want me running away," I mumbled
"She's probably true," he said
"Shut up Hisoka," I hissed and went off to my room. I changed into my 'Konoha Clothes' which was black shorts under a short green dress and my forehead protector's around my neck. I attached my pouch and senbon and walked back out.
"Where are you going?" said my father behind me
"Training," I said shortly and walked off from him and out the gates. I stretched and looked around and soon found my way to the training areas. I sighed and saw the dummies attached to the posts and went over. I stood back a bit and aimed my senbon to the dummies vital points. After running out I went to fetch them. I switched to doing just normal work out things. Stretches, slowed down versions of the taijutsu. Acrobatics and all other sorts.
"Did you see the clothes she was wearing?" said a voice distinctly Ino's
"Hai and when she ran away, talk about weird," said Sakura's
"Guys don't say that, she's just unstable," said Tenten's voice
"Why do you think they came here? I've never heard of the Sasaski clan, it must just be a pathetic clan then if it doesn't have a special jutsu or bloodline," said Ino again, I was in hiding until then, wanting to hear what they thought but now I stood on a branch of a tree about to talk.
"Pathetic eh?" I sneered
"Amaya," said Tenten suddenly
"Hai, pathetic, for all we know you could be an S ranked clan," said Ino
"Ino stop it," said Sakura tugging the older girls shirt
"No. She should here it." She said "Hai, hai, you don't fit in!" she called
"I know that baka-chan, why do you think I ran away," I smirked "I'll strike a deal, I'll be out of Konoha by 12 this evening if you don't tell you know I left," I said smiling sweetly
"Fine, deal, if you're not gone then I'll kick your butt!" she shouted
"Deal," I said jumping down "Pleasure doing business baka-chan," I called walking away knowing she was having a hissy fit. As I walked through the Village I stopped at the North Gate. My exit route. I lay down under a tree and watched. And watched. You may wonder why I was doing this, it was too see or estimate the intervals of which the guards swapped. Every hour on the hour.
"It takes them roughly 5 minutes to change everyone," said a voice behind me
"And you are?" I asked
"Nara Shikamaru," he said lazily sitting down next to me
"How do you know," I asked
"I sit here everyday and watch the clouds, I've estimated over time," he replied
"And how did you know I was watching the?" I stuttered
"I have an IQ of over 200, how would I not know," he said "If your planning on running away then try it around 11:55," he said
"Nani? How? Who?" I stammered
"You're infamous for running away and getting away from places, I've heard about you from other Shinobi on my mission's" he said simply
"Oh……you won't tell," I asked quietly
"No, too troublesome," he muttered
"Arigatou, Nara-san," I said quietly watching them again. There was a bustling in the bush and I turned around, out of the bush hobbled a small cat. It was bleeding and half its ear was torn. I cooed it over and Shikamaru watched on in interest. I lay it down gently and the animal mewed softly.
"Shhh it's alright," I cooed quietly to calm it still. It lay down more and relaxed. I slowly brought my hand up to the cat's ear and pumped chakra into my hand. My hands instead of glowing green like normal healing chakra, this was why my family specialized in healing, and it was dark red. I slowly clasped the ear in my hands and the chakra was absorbed. The cat didn't flinch or move away but let me heal it. After I was done I ripped some of my dress and wrapped it around the cats head protecting the ear. After I was done I lifted it up and set it on the ground properly. It meowed and tottled off.
"That was amazing," said Shikamaru
"Arigatou, that's why my clan are specialists in healing "I explained
"Now I know why Tsunade-sama stops you from leaving," he said quietly
"Hai, but I want to go and help other places and avenge my mother's death," I said sadly looking away
"Why? Everyone needs you here," he asked
"No everyone hates me here, trust me I know it so don't cover it," I muttered "Surprised you came near me," I added
"Well the way I see it you've never done anything to me, except make me look around the compound when you ran away, nothing more, nothing less," he said yawning, I sighed and stood up
"I have to prepare, don't tell anyone I left, and if they ask say I went to the Sand Village." I said seriously
"Hai, hai, too troublesome," he mumbled waving limply and falling asleep. I shrugged and carried on walking. When I got home I sat down under the tree again.
"You know you can't run," said Hisoka above me
"I can still try," I replied smiling "Its fun,"
"Hai, that may be but you know why you're important, you're different from the rest of us," he said
"I know, I just don't want to be different," I said
"But you are and you have to deal with it," he explained softly. Hisoka is usually quiet and not very friendly but to me he's a best friend, he might be 18 but it doesn't matter. He always tries to understand but always finds it difficult.
"I've tried, why do you think I try and leave, I want to avenge mom, I want to help others not the people I'm told to," I said getting annoyed
"Hai, Amaya but we moved here so you wouldn't runaway. So you'd have friends, not to kill everyone or hate them,"
"Look Hisoka-kun, I've made a deal with one of the girls I've met, I'm out of here by 12 and I never bug them again or show my face here. Shikamaru-san has helped me time my way out and you aren't telling them I'm leaving," I hissed angrily closing my eyes.
"Fine, it's like the rest of the times right?" he said
"Yeh but this time I know where I'm going," I answered smiling
"Where?"
"The mountains, there I can live and work and be by myself, I just gotta find a way to get this marking off and then nobody will know," I said subconsciously rubbing my nose
"Amaya. It's a tattoo that we're born with," he said flatly
"Oh, never really noticed," I muttered embarrassed looking away. "What time is it?" I asked
"Around 6," he replied
"Arigatou, I'm going to go eat, want to come?" I asked getting up
"Hai," he sad jumping down. He was almost a giant towering over me at 5'11ft when I'm only 5'6ft in height. We walked out closing the door so nobody would walk inside. We went down the road looking at relatively decent places.
"Let's go to the BBQ place," I said pointing to the restaurant across from us
"Sure," he said coolly. I nodded and headed in, as we sat down I noticed, Chouji, Ino and Shikamaru and another man sitting across from us. I sighed and shook my head,
"No, no, no," I said quietly
"What is it?" asked Hisoka
"That's the girl who hates me, the boy who helped me and two of their friends," I replied hesitantly
"Are you sure you want to eat here?" I asked quietly
"Ama-chan, I already ordered us some stuff when we walked in, we have to eat here." He said coldly, I nodded sadly and looked away "So where do you think your going to go?" he asked
"I'm thinking The Grass Village," I said casually
"Hm, to visit Gaara-san again?" he said smirking
"Nani? No, that was just once," I muttered turning red. Years ago when I first met Gaara, I started having a crush on him but then it changed when he got together with another girl. Hisoka never let me forget it.
"Hai, hai, don't get so wound up," he chuckled lightly; I nodded my head then saw a shadow looming over me.
"I thought we made a deal," said a dark voice above me, I turned and saw Ino above me.
"I said I'd be gone by midnight and then be away from you," I hissed
"Well I don't want to see your face, so leave," she said sharply
"Leave us alone chunin," said Hisoka standing and drawing himself up
"No, I won't," she said stubbornly
"Ino, get back over and leave them alone," said the man with a beard and a cigarette getting up and walking over "Ohayo, I'm Sarutobi Asuma, Ino's old sensei," he said holding his hand out
"Oh, I'm Sasaki Hisoka, Amaya's cousin," said Hisoka shaking his hand
"Gomen about Ino, she can be a hot head," said Asuma
"Hai, same with Ama-chan," said Hisoka smirking.
"Oi, don't call me that in public," I hissed next to him "Besides, I'll stick to my half of the deal," I added glaring at Ino who glared back. I turned and paid quickly before eating.
"Oi, where are you going?" asked Hisoka
"Anywhere but here, I'll make food at home," I called walking out. I soon heard padding of feet behind me.
"Let's go," said Hisoka again then grabbed my waist and sprinted home.
"What happened?" I asked as I saw a red mark on his cheek
"Chouji punched me for insulting Ino," he hissed as I touched it then slowly healing it being careful not to do anymore damage.
"Well I'll see you later, I'm going to go start packing and getting some sleep before tonight, good bye," I called waving "I'll probably see you soon anyway,"
"Hai, good bye and good, luck," he said waving. I nodded and proceeded to pack my bag in my room. Just the bare essentials. Clothes, weapons, herbs, food etc. As I said the bare essentials. Slowly I eased myself into bed telling everyone I wasn't feeling too well. At least ill until 12 that night…..Plan: Escape Konoha.
