Chapter 17
Told by Natari Roo
I woke up to see Kyoka screaming things like "NO!", "STOP!" etc., etc., etc. It was about 5:00 in the morning. Mikomi and Eureka were shaking her awake.
It occurred to me that I always wake up last when Kyoka has a nightmare!
"Oooh…" Kyoka said, before throwing up. Mikomi and Eureka looked worried. I guess I did, too.
"Kyoka! Kyoka, are you okay?!" Mikomi asked nervously. Kyoka stopped being sick.
"I just had… a really scary dream," Kyoka said nervously. "I was watching people…get killed…"
"Who? Who got killed?" I asked.
"None of your business!" she snapped.
"Fine, fine, no need to get snappy. Jeez," I said.
"Natari, just shut up!" Mikomi said angrily.
"Fine," I said. "Will you guys just stop yelling at me?"
"Alright, I'm sorry. That was just… scary, is all. Well, who wants breakfast?" Kyoka asked.
"Ramen time! I'll make it," I said. I made everyone ramen (except Kyoka, who said she wasn't hungry). After we ate it, we started back on the road to the Darkness Village.
"Yeah! We're almost home!" I announced happily. "Only 2 hours to the Darkness Village!"
"Why are you so loud and obnoxious? You probably annoy all of your friends," the wolf said. I wondered why it was suddenly talking to me. I had no idea that this would be one of the longest conversations I'd ever have with the wolf.
"I don't annoy my friends. That's why we're friends," I replied cheerfully. But I had to wonder…was it right? Was I annoying my friends?
"I've never had friends since most life forms I meet I immediately destroy, so I wouldn't know. I was just speculating," the wolf said.
"You've been stuck in my body for 12 years. Aren't I your friend?" I thought in mock pain.
The wolf laughed. "I wish I could kill you. But that would destroy me as well."
"I know! Isn't that cool?!" I thought happily. "So why did you strike up this conversation anyway? Something tells me it's not 'cause you're bored."
"I was just thinking about how few techniques you know."
"Hey, I know plenty of techniques!"
"Well, then, how'd you like to learn a new one?"
"Hey, Natari, are you listening?" Mikomi asked.
"Uh, yeah! Of course!" I said. Which wasn't a complete lie. I was listening… to the wolf.
"What did I say?" Mikomi asked.
"Um…something about that one thing that you were talking about," I said.
"You weren't listening, were you?" she asked.
"Of course I was!"
"Then you agree?"
"Uh… sure."
Mikomi laughed. "So you really DO love Naruto!"
"I do not!"
"See, bad things come from lying."
"Whatever! I was thinking too hard to listen, okay?!"
"You? Thinking? Well, there's a first time for everything."
"Shut up!"
Kyoka interrupted us. "Hey, you two, would you stop arguing? Just for once?"
I wanted to get back to talking with the wolf, so I said, "I'd be glad to."
"Hey! Hey, wolfie! Where'd ya go?" I thought. All I got back was silence, then…
"Don't ignore me for those worthless friends of yours! Do you understand?" the wolf barked at me. "And don't EVER call ME 'wolfie'. I'm not your pet, you stupid human!"
"Hey, I usually wouldn't talk to you, I just wanna find out more about this new technique…"
"Ah, so that did interest you."
"Yeah. So what is it?"
"A transformation technique that will-"
"Hold on! Transformation to what?"
"DON'T INTERRUPT ME!"
"Jeez! You're mean!"
It answered with silence.
"Oh, come on! Please? I'm sorry; just tell me the new technique!" I whined.
"Stop messing with me. Then I will consider telling you this jutsu," it said.
"I'm all ears," I thought.
"It's a transformation jutsu. It will transform you into an animal. A specific animal. A wolf. With my guidance and chakra, you will be able to inhabit the body of a wolf."
"That's it?"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'THAT'S IT'?! It is a deadly technique, and can be used for spy work, attacks, and escape!"
"I could maybe see spy work, and probably escape, but attacks?"
"Yes. Combined with human intelligence, the claws and teeth of a wolf could be deadly. Also, there are two conditions."
"I won't like this part, will I?"
"I will have the same amount of control of your body as you will in wolf form. So it won't be completely like werewolf form, nor completely like human form."
"That's only one condition. What's the other one?"
"You must make me a promise."
"What?"
"In return for teaching you this technique, you must promise me to let me roam the forests the next full moon."
"WHAT?!"
"You heard me, stupid human."
"I can't! My friends…"
"Escape them. It can't be too hard. They are only humans, after all."
"And what if, hypothetically, I didn't promise you this?"
"Well, then, hypothetically, I wouldn't teach you the jutsu."
"When do I have to decide?"
"Now."
I quickly weighed the pros and cons…A new jutsu…My friends had had little time to teach me jutsus lately…It had been months since I'd learned a new jutsu! And I had to admit, this one did sound pretty strong…But I'd have to let myself go all wolf and everything. The wolf could destroy the forest! And how would I get away from my friends, anyway?
"Would you… you know, destroy everything in sight if I promised?" I asked it.
"No. I am tired of being cooped up in this cursed seal. I just want to run again…I would not destroy your worthless forest."
"Okay. I promise. The next full moon, I'll let you 'roam in the forests' or whatever."
I wouldn't go back on my promise - that's not cool. "Besides...," I thought to myself. "How bad could it be?"
