I'm back for Chapter 2! I hope you enjoy!
Camp 11:00 AM
Sakura raced back to the encampment where everyone basically was. A blond-haired boy with whisker scars and in an orange suit being a number one hyperactive knucklehead ninja greeted her as she passed through the entrance.
"HHHIIIIIIIII Sakura-chan!!!"
"Gomen, Naruto! Not now!" The pink-haired girl raced through the camp, searching for her sensei, or rather, bumped into him. "Kakashi-sensei!!"
"Hm? Oh, hi, Sakura."
"I'mreallyworriedaboutthisgirlandhernameisKikoandshe'scapturedbythattemeOrochimaru-" Here Sakura took a breath. "Andshe'sgonnariskherlifejusttofindout-"
"Sakura! I'm shocked. Panicking for the first time." Kakashi was actually more or less amused by her behavior.
"Ok." She took a big breath and calmed herself down.
"There's this girl I met, and her name is Kiko. She's been captured by Orochimaru and Kiko is going to risk her life just to find out his plans." She begged Kakashi. "You have to rescue her! You have to!" Kakashi did a reassuring pat on her shoulder.
"Don't worry. We'll do it."
'Kiko. Already? How did Orochimaru get her through the gate from the other world? The gates are sealed through all spells, and traps everywhere. In order to open it, you also need something of equivalent trade.' Kakashi's eye narrowed and his face became serious.
"Kakashi-sensei?"
"Hm? Don't worry, I'll report about this. So take your two teammates and look for her."
"Hai!" Sakura's sensei disappeared in a puff of smoke.
'Already, Orochimaru? You've made you move, haven't you? Does Morro know?' Kakashi went along his merry way to the Sadaime Hokage.
Meanwhile, Sakura looked for her two teammates, and found Naruto eating ramen, as that was his favorite food, and Sasuke, the hotshot, doing kunai practice.
"Oh, come on, you two! This is an assignment from Kakashi-sensei!"
"Hmph." The onyx-haired boy said, from the Uchiha Batsu.
"Aw! It had better be, to miss all my ramen!" Naruto whimpered.
"Yes! God! Get your stuff, we're going!" Her colleagues darted away to gather their items and weapons.
After a short while, they returned.
"So where are we going?" Sasuke asked. Sakura didn't reply but darted out of the camp, Sasuke and Naruto following.
Orochimaru's Realm 11: 00 AM
Kiko lay on her bed thinking about why Orochimaru would even want her.
"Container? Most likely. But I thought he was after Sasuke!' Kiko shook her head. 'You're over thinking this, Kiko. Relax.' And without her knowing, she had started to sing 'Kanashimi wo Yasashisa ni', for the third opening song of Naruto in the Japanese version episodes.
"Sousa kanashimi wo yasashisa ni
Jibun rashisa wo chikara ni
Mayoinagarademo ii arukidashite
Mou ikkai
"Dareka no kitai ni zutto kotae
Homerarerunoga suki nano desuka?
Naritai jibun wa surikaetemo
Egao wa itsudemo suteki desuka?" This part was Kiko's favorite, since it was like a way of singing quickly, kind of like 'rapping.' She had sung this song in the talent show for sixth grade and had won the contest.
"Hajimaridake yume mite okiru
Sono saki nara itsuka jibun no ude de
"Souda daiji na mono was itsumo
Katachi no nai mono dake
Te ni iretemo nakushitemo
Kizukanumama
"Sousa kanashimi wo yasashisa ni
Jibun rashisa wo chikara ni
Mayoinagarademo ii arukidashite
Mou ikkai." Kiko took a deep breath in when she finished and smiled to herself.
Clap Clap Clap Clap ClapKiko jumped and saw it was Orochimaru.
'He…heard me sing?' Kiko blushed. 'Kuso. When did he come in?'
"Not bad." He smirked and turned. "Follow me." Orochimaru walked out the door.
'What does he want with me?' Kiko thought and cautiously followed him. She walked out into the hall and stopped.
"Why should I follow you, snake?"
"Offensive already?" He turned and did a hand sign that Kiko recognized: The one for a curse seal. Kiko quickly put her hands into the sign of the oz, the beginning of Chidori.
"Stay away! I have a few tricks of my own!"
'Oh. Yeah, like 'Water prison', 'Chidori', 'Kage Bunshin' and 'Gokakyuu no Jutsu' is gonna save me. I don't even know if this even works!' A small droplet of sweat trickled down the side of Kiko's face. 'Shit…'
"Oh? So you want to fight, do you?" I saw something in his eyes that resembled eagerness.
'What's up with the jerk?'
Camp 11:30 AM
Knock knock
'Hmm?'
"Come." An old man with a gravelly voice and wearing a white robe with red trimmings and a white hat with the kanji word 'fire' in the front said. The door clicked and swung open, revealing a seasoned jonin.
"Hokage-sama."
"Kakashi. So what is it?" Kakashi went over to the Hokage and whispered into his ear.
"Ahh…"
Orochimaru's Realm 11:30 AM"At least I can get a chance to kill you!"
"With Chidori?" Orochimaru cackled. "I'm immortal."
"…Kuso." Kiko did the last two hand signs, and a ball of 'lighting' was in her right hand, actually surprising her that she could do Chidori, and it would usually take training to make Chidori work. 'Huh? I never knew it could work! I mean…doesn't it take like months just to perform it? Even Sasuke, after everyday training, took AGES just to make one.' She was so caught up in her thoughts, she didn't notice Orochimaru coming at her with the seal. He bit into her right side of the base of her neck, but Kiko didn't grip the seal as others did. She instead tried to restrain it and gave an effort to attack Orochimaru. 'Do…it…with the last of your strength!!' Kiko ran at him, yelling.
"Saikoro!!!!!" But before she got even halfway the distance to reach him, she collapsed to the floor in pain, the Chidori fading away in her right arm. Kiko grasped the bite on her neck, and started punching the floor with her right fist to try and ignore the pain.
"DAMN IT!!!! AHHGGH!!!"
In the Forest of Shisi Gami 11:35 AMAn animal was sitting in the lush forest of Shishi Gami when she felt a pain rupture from her chest.
'Are you in pain, my daughter?' The Urufu Tenshu thought. 'I will kill Orochimaru for what he did to you, marking one of the Urufu Bastu.' She bared her fangs, eyes alight with a hatred, but not enough to poison the tenshu though from the bullet that Eboshi, her enemy, fired into her.
"Kaa-san?" San said, along with two wolf pups.
"San, it is nothing." Then a puff of smoke appeared not far from the party. Out of the fog appeared Kakashi, kneeling before the Tenshu in sign of respect. San whipped out her spear and aimed it at the jonin.
"Who are you!?" San said defensively.
"Do not worry, my daughter. He is a friend." San lowed her spear down, and stepped back. "What is it, Kakashi?"
"Morro, the two parents who have taken care of Kiko are-"
"I already know."
"Hm?" There was no response. "Then I will take my leave." He put his hands into a sign so he could reappear back in the camp.
'Did I see a tear well in her eyes? Kiko…' Kakashi thought as he disappeared from the Shisi Gami forest.
Central 11:45 AM"First Lieutenant!" A colonel with black hair and commonly known as the 'Flame Alchemist' commanded.
"Hai!" The lieutenant responded, having blond hair and having no experience in alchemy whatsoever. Her name was Riza Hawkeye, and was a sniper shooter.
"Get Edward Elric, he has a mission."
Dentech City (Earlier that day) 9:00 AM"Lan! You're going to be late for school….AGAIN!!!!" A cyber netnavi said from a blue PET.
"Okay! I get it!" Lan was a boy always in the mode to netbattle other navis, liking to sleep, but often skating as fast as he could, since he commonly forgot important times.
"HURRY UP!!!"
"OKAY!!! I GET THE FREAKIN' POINT!!!!"
Orochimaru's Realm 11:45 AMKiko had already fainted from the pain of the curse seal and now was lying on the floor. Kabuto stood not far from the scene, commenting, "Kisou. Just like her parents." Kabuto came over to put Kiko back into her room, but a signal from his master he stopped. He knew what was going to happen, and the two disappeared.
Chaos broke out in five cities and lands, Konoha, Valley of Wind, Dentech City, Forest of Shisi Gami, and Central, each city having three giant snakes attacking. Each of these snakes was summoned from Orochimaru. The war had begun.
Konoha 12:00 PM"Don't let the snakes enter the center!" A chunnin Konoha ninja yelled as he threw shuriken at the giants.
"Don't waste your shuriken! Use your jutsus!" Another cried. Disruption filled the air as the snakes crashed buildings and every attempt to kill them was failed.
Forest of Shisi Gami 12:00 PM"Kasu, you are not from the Orochi Batsu!" A boar growled. "Begone along with the others! Shisi Gami shall aid us!" This specific boar was over 500 years old, its white hide withered in several places, with two tusks, blind, and his name was Okkoto. Okkoto was believed to have died in the time before Nago, the recent leader of the Buta Batsu, but somehow survived the years, as Okkoto was a tenshu.
Valley of Wind 12:00 PM"Nausicaa-hime! Iie!!"
"Gomen, Mito. I must protect our land, as the daughter of my deceased father." The orange-haired girl flew into the sky on her mehve, with Teto on her shoulder.
"May the winds go with you, princess." Mito whispered. Mito had a similar appearance to Yupa, but was not as elderly, and had a black patch across his left eye.
Dentech City 12:00 PM"Crossfussion!" A dual-haired boy and Lan chimed. After a short time, Lan looked like his netnavi, his suit all blue with a helmet, but his eyes weren't the color of Megaman, his netnavi, which was green. Lan's eyes still where the same and now he had the power to destroy the giant orochi. The other boy, named Chaud, had done the same thing as Lan had, with red and a helmet also covering about half his face. Chaud took the appearance of his netnavi, Protoman, with a suit of red and long hair tied into a ponytail, being silver then black toward the end.
"Let's go, Lan."
"Uh-huh!" The chocolate-haired boy enthusiasticlly chimed.
Central 12:00 PM"Colonel Roy Mustang!" A soldier said to the colonel from earlier. "These orochi have most likely come from Orochimaru!"
"Heh." Mustang snapped his right hand, and one of the snakes set on fire, from his alchemy. "Really. Two more to go." He snapped two more times, and everything was taken care of.
"As expected of the 'Flame Alchemist.'" A voice said.
"Fuhrer!" Roy saluted along with the other soldiers.
"Good job." The Fuhrer had black hair and a small mustache, along with a black patch across his left eye, like Mito. He was also known as King Bradley, and his skills of swordsmanship were not to be made fun of.
"Thank you, sir!" He bowed as the Fuhrer walked away.
Team 7 12:15 PM'I hope I'm not too late to save Kiko!' Sakura thought as she raced with her two teammates, who apparently were lagging behind.
"Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled. "Chotto matte!!! You're going too fast!"
'What's up with her?' Sasuke thought. 'She doesn't act like this, but it's true her behavior changed a lot ever since the second exam.' The team soon approached to where Sakura met with Kiko the other day. After some clarification at the spot she was at, she tried to remember where Kiko had somehow vanished.
"And she…went through…here!" Sakura went through the space Kiko had gone through and disappeared from sight.
"Huh? Sakura-chan!" Naruto hollered.
"Baka, shut up." Sasuke said to Naruto. Sakura popped back out.
"Come on!!!" She yanked her two comrades through the invisible door. The beautiful sight of the garden greeted them and it took their breath away. "Its wonderful!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Sakura! Concentrate!" Sasuke said.
"Oh right. So, which way?"
"Like this!" Naruto said. He made two kage bunshins, sent one of his bunshins to the right, the other to the left. After sometime, the one that he sent to the right came back.
"This way!" The Naruto doppelganger exclaimed. The original Naruto expelled his bunshin, and did the same with the other. They soon came to another door that was left ajar. The three nodded and took out their kunai knives. Each of them slid through the door one at a time, wary of enemies. After sometime exploring, they found a girl lying on the floor.
"Kiko!" Sakura flung herself next to her new friend, shaking her. "Kiko! Kiko! Wake up!"
"Uh…" The pain-ridden girl opened her eyes to a slit. "Sa…ku…ra…" Then her eyes closed again.
"Kuso!" Sakura picked Kiko up and noticed a mark on her and gasped. 'That mark!' Sasuke also seemed to notice it.
"So, he's gotten to her, huh?"
"We gotta get her out of here fast!" Naruto said. Team Kakashi went through the way they had come from, and went back to the camp.
Konoha 2:00 PMThe battle in Konoha had ceased, bringing along the great Hokage, who had fought against his ex-disciple. The Hokage had died bravely, and not before sealing Orochimaru's arms into the Oujou Tenshu.
(A/N I'm not spoiling anything for the future episodes, so I'm sorry about that.)
The next day, they had the funeral for the Sadaime Hokage, everyone wearing black and placing white flowers onto a table with his picture. Along with the Hokage, were all others who had died in the battle of Konoha, just because of Orochimaru's revenge on his former sensei.
Forest of Shisi Gami 1:00 PM"The kasu have been taken care of, Okkoto-dono."
Valley of Wind 1:15 PM"Three cheers for Nausicaa-hime!!!" Mito cried.
"Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!!!" The people of Nausicaa's land cheered.
Dentech City 2:00 PM"All right! We killed them off!" Hikari Lan shouted. "NOW FOR CURRY!!"
"…"
"Do you want to, Chaud?" Lan poked his rival. "Huh, huh, HUH?"
"OKAY!"
Central 12:15 PM"What was it that you wanted to talk to me about, Colonel?"
"Ah, Edward shorty." Ed, as his nickname was, popped a vein and started yelling at him, meaning to attack him, but his brother, Alphonse or Al, had to hold him back. Al was in a suit of armor, from a failed human transmutation to revive their mother, which was a forbidden art in alchemy. Ed had blond hair and a braid, with automail for his right arm and left leg. Alchemy always needed something in return, so when Al and Ed attempted the transmutation, something had to be given, in this case, Al lost his body, Ed his leg. Ed desperately wanted his ototo back, so sacrificed his right arm to bring back Al's soul, and attached it to a suit of armor. Like this, Al could live forever, unless it the blood seal that allowed him to live in this world was scratched or anything. But the way he was revived into this world meant that his body was also a time bomb.
"Nii-san!!"
"I AM NOT SHORT AT ALL!!!" In fact, Ed was. At age eighteen, he was five feet one inch, while his brother was A LOT taller than him, being one year younger than him. Well, he was in a suit of armor after all.
"You have a mission. Gather the Valley of Wind chieftain, Hokage, the animal batsus from the Forest of Shisi Gami, and Dentech City netsavers. Orochimaru apparently has made his move on the war, so now we need to gather all together and become one. Understood, Full-Metal?"
"Hai!" Ed saluted.
So that's the end of Chapter TWO!!!!! R&R PLZ!!!!
