Disclaimer- The waves are heavy. The wind is strong enough to signify the coming of fall. Only problem with that is the fact that it's only the beginning of summer. As you already know, I am still off on my journey in Konoha to find my disclaimer person. Therefor, I have left my filler writer in charge of entertaining you. Well, enjoy the filler! Oh, and sorry for the long wait. I promise I'll try to be better about updates.
MysticUber's Killer Filler Part One-Twisted Day Off
Kade looked around cautiously before leaving the campsite. When he was positive that no one was around, he silently walked toward the shoreline. Then, as if it wasn't even there, Kade stepped right into the ocean. When the water began to reach about his knees, he stopped walking.
Kade looked around. He seemed to be waiting for someone. Question was: who? There was absolutely no one on the island except for him, his sister, and his temporary team. Only other thing there would have to have been…Smith. But that didn't make any sense. Smith was a shark and sharks don't talk or really interact with humans unless…he's not really a shark.
Exactly the point, people. Exactly the point.
Out of the water came Smith, sharp teeth and all. Kade put his hand on Smith's back and slowly stroked him.
"It is time. The moon is full, everyone is asleep. It's our only chance."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Naruto is restless…not to mention completely frustrated. He continued to think about the monkeys he'd encountered and how he'd taken a baby one to give to Sakura as a present. It was all alone on the side when Naruto spotted him. He must have strayed away from his parents or something. Naruto decided to take the opportunity to bring it along and keep it as a pet. Then the idea struck him that he should give it to Sakura to keep. He thought that she would have thought it was cute. But instead, now she hated him and the monkey.
Naruto sighed and reached into his backpack. When his hand rose out of the bag, he had the baby monkey sitting in his hand. It stared back with eyes that seemed trusting, but slightly saddened. Naruto smiled and reached in his bag a second time and pulled out a bag full of small pieces of food and a bottle of water. Slowly and carefully, Naruto began to feed the monkey from the contents in the bag.
Everything seemed fine, until Naruto breathed in. He soon decided that chibi Saki (short for Sakura…or maybe even…Sasuke?) needed a bath (Ha! Sasuke? Right, right…I think…MOVING ON!)
Chibi Saki was so young and was just barely able to walk, so Naruto carried him in his arms over to the shoreline. Chibi Saki just snuggled up close to Naruto.
Just then, Naruto spotted two people standing by the water's edge, which caused him to stop short in his tracks. There was a boy laying on the floor and a woman who seemed to be standing guard. Naruto recognized the boy on the ground. It was Kade. He was laying in the middle of a drawn circle of sticks and candles. He appeared to be sleeping. Perhaps the woman was a friend of some sort? Or maybe an enemy?
"What's going on? Do you know?" Naruto gave chibi Saki a questioning look as he asked his set of questions. Chibi Saki just stared back at Naruto, as if confused by the fact that Naruto was talking to a monkey…a baby one, in fact.
Naruto looks back toward the water. Both people were still in the same position. I have to see what's going on… Maybe if I- Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by someone who grabbed him as he got up to move closer.
When Naruto turned around, Kadame was standing there, looking back at him with a serious look. "Don't go over there…"
Naruto gave her a confused look. He was starting to become even more curious about what was going on. But the rest of Kadame's sentence quickly silenced him before he could ask about it.
"She'll kill you…"
Naruto's eyes widened. "But why?"
"Let me explain. Come with me." Kadame answered as she began to walk in the opposite direction than the shore.
Once they were far enough away that they knew no one could hear them, Kadame began to raise her voice to normal.
"Ok, now before I waste my time, I know I can trust you to not tell a soul…right?" Naruto just nodded. But the nod was more like a subconscious response toward the question of inquiry. Meaning (in case some of you didn't get that very intelligent sounding sentence...I know I didn't when I first thought of it.) that something else was on Naruto's mind as Kadame began to speak.
And that something, my readers, was none other than Kadame herself. Kadame seemed to be prettier when she was being nice. For some reason, Narutostarted to feel warm. His hands were even beginning to sweat. He could feel his heart begin to pick up in speed. There was a sudden pain arising in his chest. Oh, wait, he's still holding chibi Saki.
Naruto put chibi Saki down and began to try and snap back into reality.
"Naruto, are you listening?"
Naruto finally made it back. "Hmm? Oh, yes, please go on."
Kadame looked at him for a moment, but then continued after a few seconds of blank staring.
"Ok. Kade is asleep. He only sleeps during a full moon. The reason for that is because we have special abilities that require something important to be given up before it can be given to us. For Kade, it's sleep. The woman standing guard is our grandmother. She died many years ago, but was revived by a summoning jutsu, in the form of Smith. She takes form only during the full moon, in order to protect Kade and everyone else…"
Naruto gave her a look that was unable to read. After a moment, he spoke.
"Umm, Kadame, may I…umm, please ask you something?"
Kadame looked confused for a moment and soon after, started to think to herself. Why did I tell him that? Why am I being so nice? What's wrong with me? There was a long pause and then…. Oh my gosh…what just happened?
Before she knew it, Kadame had kissed him. She wasn't quite sure what was going on, but she closed her eyes and went with for a few seconds. For that moment…it was amazing.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
She just stood there, watching her grandson's still body as he rested for the first time in 28 days (Is it 28 or 29?). As she stood guard, she thought to herself. Will it be this year? …Probably not. But I pray. I want you released from this. My soul is tired. Who will protect you when I can no longer?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Iruka walks into Kakashi's room when suddenly…
"Wandering around my house again?" came a voice from the room behind Iruka.
"Why Kakashi, are you playing hide and go seek?" Iruka replied.
"No! Now, what do you want? I am busy right now." Kakashi responded.
"I need to know where you sent team seven."
"Why?"
"Well, I need to speak to Naruto."
"About?"
"It's just-umm---well…I see you're busy. I'll be back."
"Wait, Iruka…"
Iruka froze up. After a moment he turned around and sat down. "Ok then…" There was silence. Kakashi raised an eyebrow in impatience, which caused Iruka to flinch. Iruka gave up and began to try and find what to say.
"Well?"
"Ok, fine! Kakashi, last night I dreamt about Naruto. He was kissing a girl. Except it wasn't Hin-"
Kakashi interrupted the last part of Iruka's ramblings. "It's ok. All boys kiss other girls before they get together with their future wife. It's a proven fact. Trust me on this."
"But I don't think it's right. Something's very off…"
"Stop worrying. Matter of fact, pull that book off my bed. Read that."
Iruka obeyed and examined the cover of the book. "What the-I don't like these books!"
"Just read the rest of that book. Then we can talk."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Meanwhile, Back At The Beach
Naruto quietly awakened. He looked around with a confused look on his face. He realized, after a moment, that chibi Saki was asleep in his arms. "Chibi Saki, was that all a dream? What am I doing here? Did I sleepwalk? Oh no, I'm late!" Naruto completed his round of questions by quickly rising and running back toward camp.
Naruto reached the camp within a minute or two to find Sakura and Sasuke waiting. Obviously, they were waiting for him.
"What's everybody staring at me for?" Naruto exclaimed, appearing slightly confused.
"Where have you been!" Sakura yelled. This caused Naruto to jump up.
"Well, I--"
"Have you seen Kadame?" His explanation was interrupted by Kade.
Naruto's cheeks turned a light and hardly noticeable shade of pink. "She's not here?"
Kade walked over to Naruto with a dangerous look on his face. "Come with me, now!" Naruto cringed at the thundering of his voice. "Sakura, Sasuke, go find food and meet back here in an hour. We are working together today."
Ok, Naruto is beginning to feel a little…intimidated…no scratch that. Naruto is scared. What does he want from me? Why does he want to talk to me alone? Oh boy, I have a bad feeling about this…Was my dream actually real? Did I-
Suddenly, Naruto heard a soft whisper of his name. Naruto looked back to make sure that Kade wasn't watching. When he saw that Kade was still talking to Sakura, he decided to walk toward the voice in the bushes.
"Kadame-san? Why are you hiding?" Naruto asked in a hushed tone.
"Listen, about last night…umm, no one can know about it, ever. Understand? Or do I have to make you forget?"
"No, no! Please, don't take the memory from me---uhh, I mean, sure!"
"Shh, not so loud!" Kadame whisper-yelled when she realized how loud he was being.
Naruto studied Kadame for a moment and noticed Kadame was wearing his sleeping cap. Aww, she looks kind cute in it…wait-what?
Why is he staring at me all starry-eyed like? Do I have something on my shirt? Kadame looked down at her shirt for a moment, then turned back to Naruto.
"Anyway, thanks, Naruto." Kadame said after a couple of twitches and blinks. Naruto gave a small smile and Kadame concluded her visit with another departing kiss.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kade is ticked. Where the heck did he go off to?" Apparently, Kade was not feeling like a very patient guy at the moment. "I'd kill him, but we need him for the mission…"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Kakashi, it happened again! They've shared two kisses! What are we going to do?"
"I told you already," Kakashi was getting really annoyed by Iruka's whining. "Forget about it."
"Fine! When you decide you're going to help me, you know where to find me." Iruka made his way to the door and opened it, but before he could walk out, he ran right into Hinata.
"Umm, gomen, Iruka-sensei. I was here to speak with Kakashi-sensei. Is he here?" Hinata tried to talk quickly and quietly, while also looking for Kakashi from behind Iruka.
"Why are you here, Hinata-hime?" Kakashi asked, finally taking his eyes off his book. He was glad that someone like Hinata was there. He knew that he wouldn't have to worry about being annoyed if it was Hinata speaking.
"Please, Kakashi-sensei, just Hinata is fine."
"Ok, Hinata…hime. Why are you here?" Kakashi couldn't help but at least think the formality in her name.
"Well, umm…something's wrong with Naruto. I keep having dreams about him with a beautiful girl. My heart aches and my eyes are revealing frightening things. I mustn't lose my prince." (Woah, are we really talking to Hinata here?)
Kakashi's beginning to get a little worried about what's happening on the island. Now that made it two people having the same dream. That's when Tsunade drops in through the window.
"You too!" Kakashi yelled turning to the window.
"Um, what?" Tsunade stared at Kakashi with a puzzled look. "You forgot you invited me over for sake and cards?"
"Oh, oh right. Would you two like to stay and join us?" Kakashi said turning to the blankly staring ninja standing beside him. The two addressed people just looked at each other and decided amongst themselves that Kakashi was a big weirdo.
"Umm, no, Kakashi. We're going to go find Naruto ourselves. You guys enjoy yourselves." Iruka responded, signaling Hinata to leave and that he would follow.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's been about five minutes, and Kade has finally found Naruto. "What's going on? What are you doing?"
Naruto felt like he was on some cheesy game show with only a couple of seconds to answer the million-dollar question. "I-umm…Ok, you caught me."
Kade raised an eyebrow. It was hard to tell if it was a 'Really? Well, that was easy!' look, or a 'Yeah, right. You can't be serious…' one. Kadame watched from high up in a tree, crossing her fingers and breathing heavily. It was quite nerve-racking not knowing what Naruto was going to say next.
"Well, I have this secret…Oh, I'll just get it over with."
NO! If he tells, it'll all be over!
"I been hiding a baby monkey. His name is chibi Saki." If this were actually an anime, you would've seen two huge sweat-drops (one for Kadame and one for Kade.)
"Oh, is that all? You made it sound like I caught you with my sister or something."
"Oh, haha! That's funny!" Naruto was laughing on the outside, but screaming on the inside.
"Yeah…whatever. Now, go and eat with your team. After that, you can take the monkey back to the jungle. He needs his family. Without them, he'll probably die."
"Right! I will do that!" Naruto said, starting to run off.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kadame sat by the water's edge and stared at the small piece of Konoha that you could barely see if you squinted. She was silent until something came toward the shoreline. "Oh, Smith, what's wrong with me? First, I end up sharing my gift with Sasuke. Now I'm kissing a fool. Why am I doing this? I feel as if I'm…falling in love."
"Dear child, we do not love."
"Yes, grandma, love. Even more than Ka-"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
When Naruto reached the camp, Sasuke and Sakura stood totally quiet. It stood quiet until Sasuke noticed something was different about Naruto. "So, what happened back there?"
"Are you talking to me?"
Sasuke gave a slight nod.
"Why? Leave me alone, I'm hungry."
Sakura tries to avoid a fight and cuts in. "Umm, Naruto, we just wanted to know what happened."
"Nothing happened, Sakura-chan, nothing. Now can I please get a minute to eat?" Naruto's sentences were low and hardly thought out.
"Oh, sorry. I won't ask again…"
Sasuke and Sakura turned around and began to whisper. "Something happened. I don't trust Kadame or Kade. Naruto isn't himself, either. Something's got to be up."
"Kade isn't bad. Maybe Kadame?
Sasuke gave a small and confused glare (if you can picture that) at Sakura's response. It's both of them. I'm sure of it! "
Meanwhile, Naruto had finished his food, but couldn't take his mind off of Kadame. I need to talk to her… But as Naruto rose to leave, Sakura yelled from behind.
"Naruto, wait! Please, just trust us enough to tell us what's wrong."
"Trust you? When are you going to trust me? I need alone time. Don't follow me. I'm going to go take a bath or something."
"I'm definitely not following him, now. You go." Sakura said pointing at Sasuke.
Sasuke turned to look at Sakura and then back at the retreating figure of Naruto. "Let him be for a while…"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Naruto sat by the water and thought about the past events. Suddenly, a something soft brushed Naruto cheek and as Naruto lowered his eyes he whispered softly. "Kadame…"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hinata is walking home with Iruka. They are both in deep thought about the same thing.
"How will we get there?" Hinata asked in her soft, shy tone.
"Don't worry. Leave it to me. Oh yeah, and pick two allies to accompany us. Anko and Ibiki will be joining me. Let's meet back in the morning by the boat. Bring only necessities."
"Ok…" Hinata said with a small smile. "I'm off. Oh, and by the way, thank you, Iruka-sensei." Iruka smiled and turned to leave.
With that, they separated until tomorrow.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Something is off." Kade said to himself. He began to think about the current events. Sasuke hasn't had anymore dreams. Kadame is hiding from me. What's going on? Smith? Yeah, maybe Smith will know. Kade walks over toward the water, but stops short when he noticed a boy and a girl standing by the shoreline.
Kade moved forward slightly in order to get a better look at who was there. But when he finally saw, his eyes widened.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Sakura and Sasuke had gotten up and followed Naruto, but lost him when they reached the water. They just stood there searching to see where he could've gone.
"Where is he? Where…?" Sakura asked. She was frantically scanning the area when suddenly-
"I'm right here…"
"Oh not you Kade, we were-oh…"
BUSTED… was all Sasuke and Sakura could think. They had worried so much about where Naruto ran off to that they didn't take the time to see what was right behind them.
"Umm, we were just-umm…"
"Taking a walk." Sasuke finished. Sakura quickly nodded in agreement. She was speechless.
"Yeah, well today was your only day off. We go back to work tomorrow." Kade paused for a moment, then continued. "Group meeting at 7 p.m., tomorrow. Tell Naruto."
"R-right…" Sasuke and Sakura said in unison. With that, Kade left the two by the water. When he was far enough away, they let out a deep sigh of relief. "Close…"
