Like I said, I'm drawn to this story… No reviews, I'm sad to see some of you find the last update uninteresting. I apologize for that, maybe, perhaps, you might like this update instead. Enjoy!
After the mission was accomplished, things got a little awkward the next day; the fact that Sakura's hair started to grow rapidly, she ate a lot of ramens without being full, and she accidentally called her comrades by their last names. Besides that, she, along with Naruto and Sasuke, met Kyro Mushori, a young Anbu who helped out from the mission. Then it got a little interesting when Kyro asked Sakura out, though Sasuke is now suspicious of Kyro; unaware of him being 'Ibate' in disguise. Of course he met a young girl name Sin, who's investigating and aware of a demon child in the village, and…
Morning, at home, Day 2…
Sakura already woke up as she ate breakfast with her mom, took a shower, and now getting dress… for her date. The problem is that she's having trouble trying to clip her bra, for some reason, it's too small for her,
"That can't be right," she said.
She walked over and looked at herself in the mirror, she turned her body to the side, and discovered… her breast expanded, as they're bigger than her original (Not 'too big' if you know what I mean), not only that's strange, but her hair grew longer like it did yesterday and this time it stops behind her shoulders and her back. She also looks curvier,
"This is so weird," she said, then she started to put her pants and red outfit, but they couldn't fit her due to her enlarge breast, and she think her butt gotten big. So instead…
"Mom," she called her mother for help.
Interrogation…
The children are put under interrogation, all in separate rooms, being guarded and monitored. Anko is walking through the halls, checking on the children while the Anbu's are watching them, she stopped at the first Anbu, guarding the youngest child.
Uki…
"Any report?" she asked,
"Hardly, we tried reasoning with her, even gave her some toys she kept asking, but couldn't corporate," he said.
Anko slid open the window to look at little Uki, as Uki is sitting in the center of the room, ripping and tearing off the doll they gave her; and the fact, she's surrounded by broken, ripped, and torn out dolls, some are old and some are brand new.
Uki ripped off the dolls head, as she doesn't care that it's new, and tossed the body aside, then she slowly turned to the door, as she's being watched by Anko and the Anbu.
"I want my dolly," she said while hold the dolls head, facing the two adults, and shows no expression whatsoever,
"That's the 15th doll this morning," the Anbu said,
"That little girl looks… familiar for some reason," Anko thought as she recognized her from somewhere.
"Hello there…What's your name?" Anko asked, Uki didn't reply, "Do you have a name?" she asked, Uki still didn't reply, "My name is Anko, and you are?" she said, trying to be nice to her. "…Uki," Uki finally answered as she placed the doll's head down, "Uki, that's a nice name, you must be wondering why you're here," she said.
"You place us under interrogation, due to trespassing of your territory, accuse of kidnapping and being a threat to your village. So you're questioning and examining us from the order of your Hokage, in some case, of deciding our punishment," Uki said, Anko's are a bit widen as she's a bit speechless, "O…kay, so she does know," she thought.
"Where are your parents? Would you like to see your parents?" she asked, Uki became silent as turned away from her, then she answered,
"… I don't have any parents."
Anko didn't say anything after what she said, then she turned to the Anbu, "Where's her doll?" she asked, "I was order to remove it from her," he answered. "What is wrong with you? Taking a doll from a little girl, are you that cold?" Anko said as she's a bit mad, the Anbu slide the window closed, and gently pulled Anko away from the door,
"Ms. Anko, you don't understand, her 'dolly' isn't like the dolls we gave her or some toy to be played with," he explained. Anko became silent as she doesn't know what he's talking about, "I was informed that this girl can't have her doll, since she has some… kind of technique which involve with her doll. I know its very wrong taking a little girl's doll away from her, but there's a good reason for it, you just need to trust us,"
Anko didn't say anything for a moment… then she said, "Fine… but it's still wrong," she walked away from him, as she's on her way to the next room.
"I know," he said.
Myazo…
Anko walk over to the next rooms, being guarded by another Anbu, and for some reason, he's wearing a heavy coat,
"Why is he wearing a coat? It's still summer," Anko thought as it's strange, until… she breathe out cold air, "What the…?" she said as she exhaled more cold air and stopped walking, then she noticed the temperature in the hallway decreased somewhere below 0 degrees.
"Why's everything so c-c-c-cold all of the sudden?" Anko said as she's now freezing, the Anbu walked up to her,
"Unfortunately, I have to stand guard over this kid that won't stop breathing out cold air," he said. Anko walked over the door, which is covered in ice, but she managed to forcefully slid open the window. When she opens it, cold air blew at her face, like a snowy blizzard somewhere in the Snow Mountains. Anko looked through the window and saw… Myazo, as he's sitting in the corner, surrounded by green ice, and icicles above him. He just there, inhaling and exhaling cold air, since he's the cause of decreasing the room temperature, and frozen everything around him.
"H-h-h-he's just s-s-s-s-sitting there," Anko said as she's shivering,
"All day, even as we bring him food, they turned ice cold before they reached the door; at least that's what the others said," the Anbu said. She turned to him,
"O-o-o-others? You mean there are other Anbu's guarding him?" she asked,
"There… were, until they all got reassigned, I'm the fifth guard for today,"
"W-w-what happened to the other four?"
"The first guard got a head-cold, the second was sent home with a flu, and the third came down with a very high fever,"
"What leaves the fourth?"
"He was here the longest, until his body became frozen, so the medical-nins took him to the hospital few hours ago to defrost him."
Anko turned back to Myazo,
"What's with this kid?" she thought before she closed the window,
"D-d-do you at le-e-east, get any infor-r-rmation from him?" she asked, still freezing.
"No, he won't tell us anything, and I doubt his twin will say anything also," he said,
"He has a t-t-twin?" she asked,
"Just in the next room up ahead,"
"I-I-I-I see," she said, then she continue her way through the hall.
Fuzca…
"They could've at least warned me to bring a jacket," Anko said as she's finally out of that cold area, and back to the normal temperature as she continue her way to the next room. She spotted two Anbu's arguing, one of them holding a tray of food, while the other is guarding the room,
"I'm not going in, you go in," the Anbu said,
"You're the one bringing him food, you go in," the other Anbu said,
"Have you seen the bite marks I got bitten, I'm not going in,"
"Do you know how many shots I've took the last time I went in there, I'm not doing it again."
"What's going on?" Anko interrupted their argument,
"It's breakfast, and this moron won't bring it to him, because of a bug problem," the Anbu said,
"Hey, I know a difference between a bug, but those creatures that boy is messing with aren't bugs, they're…" the other Anbu said, until Anko interrupted him.
"I can't believe you two are arguing about bugs in that room," she said as she took the tray from him,
"Ms. Anko, you don't understand," he tried to warn her,
"All you need to do is give him his meal, how simple is that," she said.
When she open the door… her eyes became widen with shock… up and down, left and right, here and there, the room is filled with… 8-legged, 4-eyed, creepy, crawly arachnids. Not only that, the room is also filled with webs, hanging on ceilings, and draped on walls and corners. Their leader, Fuzca, is sitting in corner, like his twin from the other room, not being bother by his spiders crawling all over his body.
Anko immediately shut the door and handed the tray back to one of the Anbus, "I'm not going in," she said as she immediately walked away from the room, continue through the hallway.
Kilala…
After Anko escaped the other room, she started hearing… music, being played by a piano, as she reached the room, she can hear the music coming from inside. She asked the guard "Is it safe to go in?"
"Actually it is, this one hardly complain or show any problems," he answered,
"Then why is there a piano in there?" she asked,
"She ask for it when we try to negotiate with her, she told us some information but not enough," he said,
"I see," Anko said before she opened the door. She saw Kilala, playing the piano far away from the door, and the middle of the room. She can hear her play a smooth and calm music, hitting every key, note to note, like a professional musician in a concert or at the opera. Anko steps in… Kilala stopped playing…
"Hello Ms. Mitarashi," she said,
"You know who I am?" Anko asked,
"I know you were coming…" Kilala turned her head, along with half of her upper body towards her, "And know why you're here," she said. Anko noticed her eyes,
"You're blind,"
"I get that a lot, of course it took awhile for some people to notice it,"
"…Right, well, I have some question to ask you ab-"
"About our actions against some of young shinobis and the abduction of Ms. Haruno," Kilala said,
"Y-yes, it's just that-"
"I am not obligated to answer any of your questions that involve the kidnapping, the fighting, nor the association of who we're working for," Kilala said as she turned away from her and started playing the piano again. They were both silent at the moment, though Anko listen to her music, until she asked,
"Do you have a family?"
Kilala hit the wrong key, which ruins the music, when she heard that question… then she answered,
"No," then she start playing the piano from the top.
"Good day Ms. Mitarashi… and bless you," she said,
"Bless y- Achoo!" Anko sneezed, and turned to Kilala, "How does she…?" she thought for a moment, before she left the room, and continue down the hallway.
Dujobe…
Anko made it to the last room, as it's being guard by three Anbu's,
"Any reports?" she asked,
"There's not much negotiating with this kid, every time we try to talk to him, he pulls a fit and won't corporate," one of them answered.
Anko slid the window open, and saw... Dujobe all chained up; wrists, ankles, neck, upper and lower body, and a muzzle covering half his face. She looked at him as he's breathing through the muzzle, and looked as if he's a killer, or murderer with no self-control.
"Why's he wearing a muzzle?" she asked, as she finds odd to find a kid wearing a muzzle, like dogs or wild beasts,
"To prevent him from biting other people, and he's the last child we captured from the mission," the other answered and explained, then Anko thought to herself after she closed the window,
"This can't be right, I was informed that there were 4 boys and 2 girls involve with the kidnapping, and yet… there are 2 girls and 3 boys here. What ever happened to the 4th boy?"
8:00 a.m. Haruno resident…
Kyro appeared at the front door, not wearing his uniform but regular clothes, and holding a red rose, he knocked on the door. A moment later, Mrs. Haruno opened the door, "Oh, hello there, you must be Kyro," she greets him, he bowed to her,
"Morning Mrs. Haruno, is Sakura ready?" he asked.
"She'll be down soon, why don't you come in," she invited him inside, he enters the house, "You have a lovely house, but it certainly got lovelier with you in it," he said as handed her the red rose, Mrs. Haruno blushed and giggled for his compliment before she took the rose,
"Why thank you, you're so sweet. Would you like some tea while you wait?" she asked before she smelled the rose,
"No, but thank you for your offer," Kyro said.
Sakura is in her room, looking at herself at the mirror, as she's wearing some of her mother's old clothes; a black bandanna, dark-gray shorts, a maroon shirt/dress with black lines around the collar, cuffs, and ends, and sandals.
"I don't know what to believe; the fact that my body suddenly changed that I can't fit into my own clothes anymore, or wearing some of my mom's old clothes that is way out of style," she thought,
"How about all the above, of course it depends on Kyro," Inner Sakura said,
"Right," she thought as she slowly walked away from her mirror, heading down stairs.
"You're an Anbu?" Mrs. Haruno said in surprise,
"One of the best," Kryo said,
"But you look so young," she said,
"I get that a lot, though some people believe I look more like an adult," he said.
Sakura came downstairs, and saw Kyro, and her mother
"Morning Sakura-chan," he greet her,
"Morning Kyro," she greet him,
"You look lovely," he said,
"Thank you," she said with a smile.
"He's cute," her mother whispered to her,
"Mom," she said as she's embarrassing her,
"Well don't be out too long… this time," she said, as she recalled the last time,
"You don't need to worry Mrs. Haruno, I'm sure your daughter is well protected while accompanying to the park," Kryo said to her. She smile in relief, "Surely, as long as she's with an Anbu, I have nothing to worry," she said, before she watched them leave.
"Such a nice boy," she thought as she smelled the rose, before she head to the kitchen.
Village, park…
Sakura and Kyro are walking together at the park,
"Kyro, could I asked you something?"
"Of course, what is it?"
"Don't get me wrong or anything, it's just that… why do you want to go out with me? I mean, you are an Anbu, and I'm a Genin, is there a rule about that?" she asked out of curiosity.
"Well generally, there's no jurisdiction of certain shinobis in higher ranks not socializing with other shinobi's in lower ranks, despite our ages that is; and personally, the Anbu girls I know aren't so interesting and they're way older than me, plus I find you a very interesting person I wouldn't mind getting to know," he answered. Sakura blushed once again after what he said, "I see," she said… until,
"Ah!" she cried, as she felt something sharp on her right foot,
"What's wrong?" he asked,
"I think I stepped on something," she said as she can feel the pain,
"Let me take a look at it," he said, as he helped her to the bench, she sat down,
"Where does it hurt?" he asked as he kneeled down, checking on her foot,
"The toe," she answered, he held her foot as he took off her sandal as he was able to spot the splinter on her toe.
Ino and Hinata are at the park, gathering some herbs,
"Thanks again for helping Hinata,"
"I-It's no trouble," Hinata stopped as she spotted Sakura with another guy, "I-Ino, isn't that Sakura over there?"
"Forehead?" Ino said as she turned and saw her with a guy, and for some reason he's holding her foot.
"OMG! Forehead snag herself a guy," Ino said
"But… I never seen him before,"
"Neither have I but who cares, they're on a date; we should spread the word," Ino said
"I-I don't know Ino, they might not be dating,"
"Then what do you call it when a guy massaging her feet at a lovely day alone in the park?"
"I… um…" Hinata couldn't respond to her answer.
"Exactly, so let's tell the others," Ino said as she drag Hinata away from the park to start spreading the word; pretty much a gossip that would spread to people-to-people and so on.
"That's one tough splinter," Kyro observed,
"You mean you can't get it out?" Sakura panicked,
"Not quite, I can always do the old fashion way of getting it out," Kyro said, then…
Sakura flinched a little when she felt Kyro's mouth, as he's trying to get the splinter with his teeth.
He finally got the splinter out, and spat it out, he looked at her toe and noticed… no scratch mark or any blood on it,
"Is something wrong? Is it bad? Please tell me it isn't bad," she panicked,
"It's nothing serious, you're going to be just fine," he answered as he looked up to her, Sakura blushed again and smiled at him, as she said,
"Oh my, Kyro… I never notice you have beautiful eyes," she saw as she's drawn to his sapphire eyes, as they sparkle like stars in the night sky.
"Funny, I was about to say the same thing about your eyes," Kyro said, there was silent between them, until…
Lup-Dup!
Her heart beat, her eyes turned paled, her green-emerald changed into red-ruby, and her expression became blank once again. Kyro saw the changes in her eyes, as he changes his sapphire eyes to paled-blue, they glanced at each other. Sakura slowly placed her hand on his cheek,
"Just as I imagine," Ibate thought as he placed his hand over her's, feeling her soft touch.
"Ibate Kurasaki," he introduced himself, communication by thoughts, as he slowly stood back up, as his mate got off the bench,
"Akalra Auraka," she introduced herself.
"How long were you imprison?"
"More than 12 years,"
"What's your ability?"
"…Allow me to show you," she slowly led his head towards her's as their forehead pressed against each others, unaware of what she's doing until…
"Kgh!" he respond, as his eyes was widen for the first time, as he felt the intensed energy flowing through his mind, affecting his nervous system and control of his body; like his spirit is, literally, about to break apart, by her energy.
"There's more to me than just that technique, I won't reveal them to you just yet, unless you're worthy for me," Akalra explained as she released him, Ibate fell on one knee, panting after her demonstration; he felt nothing like this, besides his sensei's, her's is over the chart, unlike anything he ever encountered. He slowly looked up to her, as she stared down at him with a blank expression,
"Such a remarkable female," Ibate thought.
Home…
Ms. Haruno is putting up the dishes, gathering up plates and cups from the table, then she accidentally knocked over her vase, where she placed the red rose Kyro gave her before he and her daughter left.
"Oh dear…" she said before she pick up the rose and her vase, "Now I have to clean this up," she said. Then she looked at the rose, as it's completely unharmed, "I'm still surprised a young man like Kyro becomes an Anbu... I guess I'll never know," she said before she smelled the rose one last time. Then suddenly…
Spray!
"Aahh!" she screamed after a small fume of blue pollens sprayed from inside the rose inside her nose, which cause her to drop it…
Break!
And her vase on the floor, she covered her mouth and nose as she started coughing and sneezing, she fell and crouched down as some on the pollens went up through her nasal cavity inside her nervous system. It lasted less than a minute… until she stopped coughing and sneezing as she's panting… and then fell silent, she slowly rose up, but said no words.
Back at the park…
Naruto is at the park, as he got back from the Ichiraku's, "I guess I can go visit Sakura, perhaps this time I'll asked out out, and with a new resturant there's a chance she'll finally say 'Yes'," he said as he's overjoyed.
While he was walking through the park, something caught his eye, as he spotted… Sakura with Kyro… alone in the park, staring at each other's eyes... and Kyro is down in one knee, holding Sakura's hands, as if he's proposing to her.
"What the heck!" he said as he can't believe what he's seeing.
"You know it's the time of the season of choosing a mate, have you chosen a mate?" he asked while holding her hands,
"Indeed, I have not," she answered,
"Then…would you consider of becoming my mate?" Ibate proposed,
"I…" she was about to answer, until…
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!" he yelled which interrupted them, and revert the color of their eyes to the original stage; Sakura is herself again, and Ibate returned to his disguise as Kyro.
"What is this, you wouldn't think I find out about this rondevu," Naruto said as he's a little upset, Sakura found her hands holding Kyro's, the way couples hold each other's hands, she let go of his hands, and Kyro stood back up.
"How could you do this to me Sakura-chan? I mean really, after all the times I asked you out," he said as if she's cheating on him; even though they never did gone out,
"Honestly, I don't know what came over me," she answered.
"Then what's going on? What just happened?" he demand,
"Well, Kyro asked me to accompany him to the park yesterday, then..."
While Sakura's explain, Naruto suddenly noticed her appearance, besides her mother's clothes, her hair became long (Like the first season), her body is all curvy, and her chest is-! (Whoa!) Naruto quickly turned away, as his face suddenly turned hot red, "What the hell?" he thought. Even though he has a crush on her, he never thought she be that attractive; for some reason, he's nervous like hell and thinks his nose is starting to bleed. He quickly wiped it,
"I accidentally stepped on a splinter, but Kyro got it out, and then... Naruto are you okay?" Sakura asked as she noticed he stopped paying attention to her,
"Oh yeah, I'm fine," he respond,
"Don't panic! Don't panic! Gonna think fast, think fast, thi-" he thought until he spotted his pervert sensei.
"Pervy-sage, hi, how you doing? Good seeing you, nice day we're having, how you been?" Naruto said as he quickly ran up to Jiraya,
"Eh… hello to you too, Naruto," he said,
"Is your friend all right?" Kyro asked,
"Yeah, he's just being himself," Sakura answered.
Jiraya turned and spotted a young, attractive girl with a young man, he pull out that pervy look on his face.
"Why hello…" he said,
"Pervy-sage, I got a problem," Naruto whispered to him,
"Tell me later, there's a lovely fine young lady over there and I'm about to 'woo' her and probably ask her out for dinn-" he said until...
Punch!
Naruto punched him in the face, "You pervert! You better not be thinking about hitting on Sakura-chan!" he yelled at him,
"What? Sakura," he said while rubbing his face, where Naruto punched him, then he looked over at her again, and took a moment to finally realize it is her,
"Whoa! That is her. Man, I didn't recognize her, on a count of…" Jiraya took a good look at Sakura… checking-out her 'hour-glassed' body, top from bottom, "Having a very nice bod-"
Punch!
Naruto punched him again, "Quit staring at her like that!" he yelled.
"Sorry… so what is this problem you're dealing with?" Jiraya said, while rubbing his face again,
"It's Sakura-chan,"
"What about her, besides being… what about her?"
"She's different,"
"I already notice that,"
"I mean she's a lot different than she was yesterday, her hair is long again, she ate more ramens than me, and now…" Naruto is unable to finished his sentence as turned his head half way, looking at Sakura again, though she's talking to Kyro, he blushed again as he turned away, "She's out of my league," he thought.
"I don't know exactly what you're talking about, but I can tell you find her very attractive," Jiraya said, Naruto didn't say anything as his face turned red, "There's nothing wrong with that, it's completely natural and healthy for you to like a girl," he looked at Sakura once more, "If only she's 20 years older," he whispered,
"What's that?" Naruto asked as he didn't catch that,
"Nothing," he lied.
"You're leaving already," Sakura said as she's a bit surprised,
"Something came up, I'm afraid I have to go," Kyro said as he's a bit disappointed,
"So… who's that young man she's with?" Jiraya asked as he noticed Sakura talking to another guy,
"Oh just some Anbu name, Kyro Mushori," Naruto answered.
"Kyro Mushori uh… I never seen him before yet that name sounds familiar," Jiraya said,
"Forget about Kyro for a moment, I still have a problem about Sakura-chan," Naruto said as he's still worried.
"Naruto," Sakura said as she appeared,
"We weren't talking about yo-! I mean, yeah," Naruto said, as he try to stay calm and cool,
"Kyro left for a meeting, mind if you walk me home?" she asked,
"Y-yeah, sure," he said nervously,
"Mind if I tag along?" Jiraya asked with that pervy-look on his face,
Punch!
Naruto punched him once more,
"Stay out of this you pervert!" he yelled at him, then he and Sakura quickly left the park.
Forest…
Ibate stood, in front of the five Anbu Black Ops, who are still under his control, as they kneel and bowed to him.
"Report," he said to one of them,
"Your comrades are placed under interrogation, guarded and monitored by those Leaf Anbus," one of them said,
"Are they trying to gather information from them?"
"Yes, but rarely any whatsoever,"
"See to it they know nothing by the end of this week," he ordered them.
"Hai," they all said then disappeared,
"Meow!" Ibate heard something, as he turned to a stray black cat, as it appeared from behind the tree,
"Meow!" it meowed, as it approached Ibate, Ibate looked at him as he noticed it's bright yellowed-eyes; and the fact he notice it didn't hissed nor ran away from him, like an 'actual' cat and other animal species would.
They both stared at each other as the leaves fall, and the wind blew by,
"Meoow," the cat meowed once more, as it's bright yellow-eyes started glowing...
Home, outside…
Naruto and Sakura appeared at her place,
"Thanks for walking me home, and sorry about what happen," she thanked and apologized to him,
"It's okay, I overreacted," he said, still managing not to freak out about her appearance, so he changed the subject and he said,
"However… I've been meaning to ask you the other day, have you heard of the new restaurant near the lake?"
"Groji restaurant," she said,
"Yeah that's right, I-I've been meaning to ask if you would… you know, go there, with me?" he asked her.
"Oh my goodness," she said as something caught her eye,
"I know it's expensive, but I like to make it special, so…" he said until...
"Chocolate," she said with a smile,
"Wha-?" he said, after what she just said,
"Someone left me some chocolate,"
"By who?" he asked.
"My secret admirer, telling me how sweet I am," she answered,
"Oh…" Naruto almost forgot about this 'secret admirer' from before; first the flowers, then a stuff animal, now sweets. That's so cliché.
"I'm sorry Naruto, what about the restaurant?" she asked,
"Right, I'm planning on having a reservation for you an…" he said until...
"Sakura!" they turned and saw Mrs. Haruno at the door,
"Mom," Sakura said,
"Come inside," her mother said before she closed the door,
"Sorry Naruto, I have to go, I'll see you later," she said then went inside,
"Damn," he said as he almost had her, "Okay, whoever this secret admirer is, he better knock it off," he thought before he heads home.
Home, inside…
Sakura took off the sandals, "Hey mom, I found some chocolate on the steps, it's from my secret admirer who sent me the flowers the other day, I think they're-" her mother interrupts her.
"What happened to Kyro?" he mother asked while she's sweeping in the living-room,
"He left early to go to this meeting, then Naruto came and he walked me ho-" her mother interrupted her,
"That Kyro is such a very nice boy, you should go out with him more often," she said, Sakura was silent for a moment. She just met Kyro, and yet she already considered him a nice person, normally she would lecture her about going out with boys, but for some reason she approved Kyro just like that.
"…Rrright… well, do you need help with the cleaning, or you want me to wash some dishes and maybe start dinner?"
"No-no, I'll take care of it, why don't you go to your room and rest, I'll have dinner ready in an hour,"
"…Sure," Sakura said before she left the kitchen.
After she left, Mrs. Haruno stopped sweeping as she stare blankly into space with… her paled-green eyes opened, and the expression on her face blank. Not to mention, the rose Kyro gave her, which she place it in a small vase right next to her, is no longer red, but became blue.
To be continued…
