Rage Alix- Omigod! Thank you so much for your review StarDragon X. It helped me out some. As for Mike's name, I know it's not Japanese, but it randomly came to mind and I decided to write it up anyways. With last names first, I knew that, just at that time, I was too tired to recognize it until I read it later.

As for Alix, I don't really like describing myself in writing. And I don't really like making them 'all perfect'. just seems to 'preppy' to me.. For some reason.. O.o Anyways I'm sorry for the lack of sentence structure, I'm really trying to work on that.

Now as for ANBU, I know I said I had it, but.. Uhm.. Scratch that. Azure has no trace of ANBU, but hoping. There, now…

Disclaimer: Don't own Naruto at all. Alix, MaiAki, Mike, Taka… other random people that aren't in the Anime are mine. So, blah.

Story!

Chapter 5

Wish

Attacked

Gray eyes glanced around the barren landscape that they've come to known as sand. The trio had left Konoha over half a day ago, and they just made it to the border. Alix sighed, they had been attacked by a group of Mist-Nins, and Mike was left to fight them, urging them to keep going while he held them off… She shook her head at the sudden image that went though her mind at that moment.

Mike… covered in blood, badly bruised and left for dead.

She hardly like that idea. Suddenly she came to a stop, MaiAki, also worried had almost ran into her back at the sudden act. Slowly, Alix turned around. Her face was pale. The whole image in her mind… it wasn't something that could possibly happen… it had happened. She had a knack for seeing these images of people she cared about. Without another word, she dashed to where they left Mike to fight the nin's. She was stupid! She shouldn't had left him alone when they all could handle it… She was so… Fucked.

You are really stupid for letting him stay there, Alix! Her inner-self, which only decided now of all times to start speaking to her… she thought she was gone by now. He's probably dead! All because of you, look at how weak and stupid you've become. She growled lowly to herself, telling it to shut up and go back to where it was before… she was in no mood to listen to herself.. Well, make fun of herself. Just wasn't right.

MaiAki had a hard time trying to keep up to her abnormally fast speed. She thought that she was just worried, and wanted to see if Mike was okay. They were all like family anyways. Her long hair started to whip around in her face, causing her to get mad at it and shake her head.

"Alix… why are we going back? He said he'd catch up with us.. I highly doubt something would happen to him. He's stro--"

Alix's mind decided to ignore it. What she saw, was true. It had happened before when she was about 5 years old, when she was playing with MaiAki… The images of her whole family just abruptly entered her mind, and only thought of it as something completely random. Until she got home. Never in her life did she think that, that it would ever happen to her. Her family was to no threat of anyone.. But they were murdered and she was last out of her family. Alone to starve in the streets until the Kage of her village decided to help her..

-Flashback-

Small hand grasped a red flower, said to be very rare in other villages, but here it seemed as if that wasn't true. Blue, red and yellow skies seemed to make an impact on the 5 year old as her big gray, innocent, eyes glanced towards the setting sun. She smiled, then giggled hearing her best friend start yelling at herself. She had been trying to find a certain flower with at least 5 petals on it, so she could give it to someone. Who, she didn't know, and didn't bother to ask.

"Aha!" A small voice, high with enthusiasm screamed, an outstretched arm raised into the air, holding the flower she was looking for.

It was said to be a myth that if you found one of these flowers with only 5 petals, then it could grant something, like a wish. The normal flowers only had at least 6-8 petals.

"You found it?" The excited girl turned around to look at her best friend. Her hair was extremely long then, about down to her feet… if it was up. Hazel eyes brightened before the young one shook her head.

"Yay! Now my wish can come true! But, I wont make it now…" She giggled, pausing which caused Alix to become anxious. "Maybe later on tonight with okaasan!"

Alix grinned before running over to her. "Let go play at the park!"

MaiAki nodded, and they two ran off to the park. The streets were littered with many people. For it's size you'd think that at least 100 maybe 200 people lived here, but there was so many. On both sides of the duo was random shops, some of which they couldn't understand at that age, but shrugged it off, some were candy shops and weapon shops. They both had an incredible craving for the delicious candy that they adored with all their heart, but they wanted to play, and couldn't take any more free candy from the owner… he was too nice, and they would both get scolded by their mother's. They knew everything

Past all the shops was a large building that had words carved into the building itself. They stopped and took a moment to raised their heads up high - enough to strain them - then waved at the man who was standing on the balcony. He wore the traditional Kage outfit. Though, the village wasn't in the same ranks as the other 5 villages, the villagers decided they needed one so they could be protected.

"Hi Soshikage!" Both girls yelled, and the man waved back, a smile lingering on his lips as the two ran off towards the park once more.

Past the large building, owned by a Kage stood apartment buildings, one story buildings and whatnot. They varied in sizes, and rent. Usually a couple of people couldn't pay their own rent, so Alix's family helped out. They were very generous..

Laughing, they kept running then finally reached the park, swings littering the back of it, slides in random places. Only one sand box, and that was dead center of everything in the park. Tree's littered the area, concealing it in a way. Running to the sand box, MaiAki jumped in while Alix didn't, and managed to hit the wooden part of the sandbox and fall face first into the sand. Whining lightly, MaiAki laughed, while Alix slowly sat up, tears brimming her eyes as she did so. Sand was in her eyes, nose and mouth.. It didn't taste nor smell to good, and it burned.

"Alix-chan! Come on! Lets have a sand castle contest!" MaiAki shouted.

Alix nodded and sat up straight after having to wipe her face many, many times to get as much sand off her face as possible. Slowly, her hands started to make the sand castle, then all the sudden…

Her father's face had flashed in through her mind, like she seen it with her own eyes, temporarily causing her to stop doing what she was doing. Another image, her mother and 3 brothers, laying over each other, blood pooling around them. Her father desperately fighting to save his life, so he could stay by his daughter. Then.. Decapitation. The image was so clear, it made her cry out, her friend stopping to look at her. Her whole body shook, 'This can't be right… this isn't real…' Her hands made their way to her head, something in the back of her mind clicked and a small, but deadly voice laughed silently.. She had ignored it.

"Alix-chan?"

Her voice was distant, as if she was running away from the village, and could only see a spot on the horizon. That's how far her voice felt, yet she was in her face at the moment. Her body kept shaking, her eyes widening as the image wasn't going away. She started to panic, her breaths coming in short.

"Alix-chan!"

She couldn't respond, her voice wasn't working, her body wasn't listening to her. Everything around her seemed to fade, while she knew she was still awake sitting in the sandbox. MaiAki had ran off to find someone to help her. It didn't take long before the Soshikage himself came, worry plastered over his face as his hand rested on her shoulder. Her body jerked at the sudden movement on her, before finally the images went away, her tear stained face looked up at the older man, before wrapping her small arms around him in a tight - in her words - embrace and cried.

"Soshikage! Kumori, Aki, Kai, Kenji and Akio have been killed…."

-End flashback.-

Her eyes narrowed, slightly, coming to a stop on a branch, her eyes frantically looking around for any sign of Mike.

She could smell it… The smell of blood. It was strong - too strong. Her eyes moved more, before finally landing on his bruised body, cuts laying all over him. Both MaiAki and Alix's voice stopped momentarily at the image they were now looking at. Tears started to form in MaiAki's eyes.

'No… Not again!'

She wasn't letting him die, no way. As long as she was alive, no one was going to die! He was her brother, her best friend along side MaiAki… They known each other too long… she couldn't live with herself if he died.

Both jumped down to meet him. The two females didn't know what to do, either of them didn't know medical jutsu's. Alix bent down and grabbed onto mike's right arm, pulling him up off the ground and placing his arm around her shoulders, left hand makings it way behind his back to hold him up somewhat. His blood already was all over her clothing, all over her face and arms. Could this be what Taka-baa-chan meant by don't hurt anyone?

She shook her head slightly, letting that thought roam around her brain. MaiAki, started to help mike as well.

"We can make it too sand in at least an hour if we run as fast as we can't.. I know we can do it." Alix's voice was small, barely audible.

"It takes a day to get there though.."

"Were going to get there in an hour."

----------------------

Rage Alix - cliffy, yay.

Soshikage - my own Kage for the story, why? Cause I can do it. Soshi means Element. It'll be explained later why it's 'Element'.

I've changed my mind, Gaara comes in Next chappy. Yay! 7 was a bit too much, no?

Ugh school starts too soon! Blah, anyways, it's not gonna slow me down with this fan fiction.. I'm way to obsessed with Gaara at the moment.

Anyways, you know the drill, R&R.
