Hi once again, and I apologize that it's been so long. I just got back from my grandparents, and I feel so relaxed. I didn't forget about you though. How could I forget such wonderful readers? It's weird though, having an ongoing fan fiction, it's like a huge responsibility. You've got to do things on time, and such. But I really love it, so here is chapter six, and enjoy!
Don't. Own. Naruto.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
"It's just a scam," I told myself for the billionth time that morning. For some reason, that seemed much too obvious for my subconscious, and too confusing for my present mind. I just didn't seem to get it.
My eyes stared off into space.
"So, Sasuke, you still haven't answered my question."
His eyes turned to me, leaving the rest of his body behind, and said one of the two words that I cautiously wrote down in my Sasuke Encyclopedia.
"Hn."
I figured.
It was such a simple question. "Where did you get the rings?" A one word answer or three.
"I stole them."
"I found them."
"I bought them."
Nope. None of these answers seemed up to par, so the only place I heard them was in my in my mind. So apparently he got the rings in the jewelry store Hn, in the town of Hn, in the magical fairy land of South Hn.
I giggled at my self made humor.
"What's so funny?" Sasuke snapped.
"Gosh, Sasuke, lighten up. I just remembered a joke."
He smirked. "I like jokes."
Somebody pinch me. The Sasuke Uchiha likes jokes? No way, I wish somebody told me earlier.
"So lets' hear it." Naruto said.
"Hear what?" I said.
"The joke of course."
Was he eavesdropping on us? Well, it's not like we are secluded, right? Anybody could have heard us talking, but now I was in a predicament. I said I had a funny joke, when I really had none on my mind. I swiftly thought up a joke I remembered from my academy days.
"Okay, so, um, what do birds give out at the end of birthday parties?"
"What?" Sasuke said, like he was at a graveyard.
"Tweet bags!"
Naruto cracked up, Hinata smiled, but Sasuke remained unmoved.
"Whatever," he mumbled under his breath.
I scoffed. If he wanted to be like that, then so be it. I didn't care if he liked jokes or no…
…
…
We were being followed.
I whipped around "Halt!"
Several men, attempting to tip toe, and in black masks, stopped.
I heard them whispering, then one of them, who I presumed to be the leader, stood up to his full height.
"Surrender! You cannot possibly hope to defeat us! You must now be our hostages!"
Kiba sighed. "Oh, boy, another threat," he said quietly, then raised his voice, "You are hopelessly outnumbered, are you really that dense?"
A ninja behind the leader stepped forward.
"Aha, but we are stronger then we look."
The leader turned and tried to whisper, but he did it in a way that everyone knew what he was saying.
"You imbecile! Stick to the plan!" Then he turned back to face us and smiled a foolish smile.
"Sooo, do you oblige?'
Sasuke snarled. "Scum! Threatening Leaf ninja is extremely foolish! If you think you have a measly chance, come on then!" He ripped his sleeves to show off his hard-earned muscles, took a fighter stance, and moved his fingers in a beckoning gesture.
Oh, man. If my heart ever hurt… this one most certainly guaranteed five years of my life expectancy.
Miho stepped forward. "You ready?"
Sasuke smirked. "More than ever."
I braced myself for fighting, as did all my companions.
Miho readied her hands for fast signs. She bit her thumb and spread her blood on the scroll she pulled from her chunin vest.
Dragon.
Horse.
Tiger.
She slammed her open palm on the ground, and a huge puff of white smoke appeared. As it cleared, a giant cat took up its space. It had ropes around its neck in red and white colors. Curled strings on the ropes dangled freely on his magnificent chest. A cigarette quivered in his mouth, and his huge paws seethed for action. The tail whipped like a snake, ready to bite.
Boy was that tiger huge.
"Kuna-Kena!" Miho greeted the tiger.
"Miho!" The cat said, in a low rumble voice that shook the ground.
"Please do us a favor and help out?" She requested.
The tiger looked at the infiltrators and lowered his head closer to the ground.
"No problem."
"Ready…" Miho lifted her head into the air. "GO!"
And they literally leapt into action.
Now Miho has never, EVER, killed an enemy, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's a bad fighter. She just doesn't like to kill.
The rouge ninja froze. Oh, were they in for a treat.
Miho leapt on top of Kuna-Kena in one jump, and Kuna-Kena leaped into a spinning twirl, a lot like Kiba's fang-over-fang. They raced toward the ninja and pushed one over using that jutsu. Sasuke ran up to them and used fire style.
The ninja jumped.
Sasuke followed, "Lions barrage!"
The ninja was down. Unconscious and not dead.
I bound him for a prisoner.
Kuna-Kena was so large, he just sprinted by and someone would fall to their knees, hurt by the momentum.
Shikamaru froze them with his Shadow Possession. Hinata used gentle fist, side by side with Neji, who managed to keep up with her, only because she slowed down enough to let him.
This continued until only the leader was left, in a fighter stance, with a snarled lip and surrounded completely.
"Nice," He said with a sneer, "Now watch my trick," he formed some hand signs I wasn't able to see, but all the same, I found a hard lump in my throat as a premonition that something bad was going to happen. "Mystic Hypnotism Jutsu!"
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Oh no! What's with the new jutsu?
So, yeah, I was working on this chapter most of the ride home, and you won't believe how long it's taken. Oh well, I'm back now.
So how did you like this chapter? I liked the fact that I added some action in there, for you action-lovers. And I know, I love romance, so don't worry, it's coming! See ya soon!
Bidding-you-a-fond-Sayonara,
S.A.Hikari!
