Chapter three: Make Me Better
"As close as you and Asuma were," said Anko. She turned to notice tears in Kurenai's eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't; mean to bring up painful memories."
"It's alright, I think I did the same thing," said Kurenai. "I think we've both been hurt, but you're lucky. You can restore that joy and that is why I envy you."
"Can I really Kurenai; can I really turn back time to make the pain go away? I've been struggling all these years, but I feel the pain just gets worse."
This conversation did not escape the ears of Sakura or Ino, who both styled themselves as avengers of oppressed or abused women. When both Anko and Kurenai admitted their emotional pain, the girls made a vow to make the person who had caused that pain pay for it, namely Keiji. They had thought up the vilest plan for revenge on an airplane. Sakura quickly disguised herself as a stewardess, while Ino mixed a coke with laxative (ouch). They both smiled at each other as Sakura walked towards Keiji. Now it's your turn to feel pain you son of a bitch," thought Sakura. This is for Kurenai sensei and Anko sensei.
To her surprise, Sakura found Keiji looking out the window of the airplane with a depressed look on his face. It looked like he was on the verge of tears from being brought to those awful places in his memories. It reminded her of how Sasuke would wake up from nightmares about that fateful day when the Uchiha clan was wiped out save for the two brothers, Sasuke and Itachi. Now Itachi was dead, but
The question still remained. Why did he kill his own clan? The thoughts had made the young Uchiha sad; they made his face into a mask of despair and depression. That mask was now being worn by the missing ninja known as Keiji.
"You look a little down sweetie," said Sakura trying to find out more without blowing her cover. "Would you like to talk about it?"
"Sure, sit down please," said Keiji. He waited until the stewardess had sat in the seat opposite to him. "That woman up their wearing fishnets and has short hair, she and I used to be closer than friends. We were lovers, depending on others through that intoxicating drug known as love. It all started when I was young. I had a bad start, just like the blonde boy sitting next to the shy girl with the white eyes. My family was executed by order of the Sandaime himself. My father and the whole clan were charged with treason and so the whole clan was wiped out. Luckily for me, they found out the reports were false and prevented my execution at the tender age of one hour. The same couldn't be said for my mother, who died before giving me a name. The Sandaime decided that I should only have a surname, to show that the Keiji clan is still alive, or so he claimed. It was basically a 'fuck you' to me. When I was growing up, I put a wall around me so I wouldn't let other emotions get in the way of my revenge. One girl didn't leave me alone. Her name was Mitarashi Anko and she would beat civilization into me.
"It was when we both turned eighteen that we really got serious. We did everything together back then. We were both not trusted, me for my lineage and her for her teacher, Orochimaru. She made me less brutal, less sadistic, and when we first met, the afternoon of that day, I went to my mandatory therapist for the first time. She made me want to change everything bad. I loved her so much that I wanted to be a better person. It was that fateful mission that tore a rift, that and this right eye that I cover up. It was love for her that made me spare the Sandaime, for I could have killed him. I hate myself because I hurt her and all this time I thought I was the only one who would be hurt by this."
Sakura felt tears run down her cheek and she forgot all about the plan. It was then that another question popped into her mind. What is under that eye patch? She got up to leave and on her way to the back of the plane, she accidently gave the glass to none other than Sasuke. When she had realized what she'd just done, it was all too late. Keiji chuckled at how she had been able to forget her plan so easily and give the glass that was meant for him to her boyfriend. He decided that maybe the tragedies in his life were just that powerful. He looked over and noticed Anko was heading for the bathroom. He wanted to talk to her in private and that would be the best place.
Mitarashi Anko turned around to see the man who made her burn standing right in front of her. His eyes were sad and lonely; she knew he was longing for his old comfort in her heart. She didn't know what to think of him, which was until yesterday when the gondaime told her about his mission. It was after the Kyuubi was sealed, Okami's retaliated against the treatment of their brothers by nature. Keiji had inherited the Keiji clan's most valued blood limit, the sealing eye, an eye with the ability to seal chakra with their eyes. It was an offshoot of the Hyuuga clan's Byakugan and more powerful to. During the fight with the only nine tailed Okami, Keiji apologized to the wolf spirit knowing what it felt like to get the short end of the stick. An ANBU member tried to attack the Okami, but was prevented from harming the wolf spirit by Keiji, who lost his eye in the process. The wolf spirit in turn, gave Keiji its eye and revealed to Keiji that if he had used that eye on him, the result would have been a loss of both lives. The Hokage knew that, but still sent a man to his death to keep the village safe. Anko now realized the source of all Keiji's anger and the source of the rift. She stared into the only human eye Keiji had.
"When I left, I didn't realize you'd be hurt," said Keiji. "I thought that you'd curse me, forget me, hate me, and move on."
"How could I baka," asked Anko in an angry one. "I loved you and I wanted you to marry me, have kids with, and spend the rest of our lives together. I hoped you felt the same way."
"I did feel the same way back then," said Keiji. "I was going to propose to you on that day. The day after I left, when I woke up and realized that you weren't there and probably never would be there by my side again, I cried. My love for you kept me alive, so that someday I would come back and fill that rift between us with my love for you. Please, Anko-chan, let us go back to the way things were before that day."
Anko sniffed and said, "I have waited for you for so long and now you're back. I tried to hate you, but I can't do it. Let's mend the rift starting at our old pace."
Then Keiji touched her lips with his own and felt that old familiar warmth that kept those demons out of his dreams. The jolt of excitement soon swallowed them both whole as they continued to passionately kiss her. She tastes like heaven, thought Keiji. He then grabbed her left breast and began to manipulate into all the familiar angles. She gave that same moan that was like music to his ears as he kissed neck. She then ran her hair through his head as she nibbled at his sensitive right ear. Next Anko unzipped his pants while he pushed her skirt up and pulled down her panties. He had gotten one breast from under her shirt and her bra as he entered her. It relieved him that no one else had been there, but just as he was about to continue there was a knock on the door. It was one of the stewardesses.
"The plane is about to land will you please take your seat," said the stewardess.
Keiji was a bit annoyed that their moment of make-up sex was interrupted, but Anko whispered the words, "later," into his ear in a seductive tone that made him hard. They kissed and both went back to their seats. Keiji noticed Naruto and Hinata both sleeping peacefully on each other head. It was adorable and it reminded Keiji of him and Anko. Thank you Naruto for giving them a reason to let me back into the village and back into her life, you've done so much for me, but I have done so little for you. It wasn't Keiji who had been Naruto's father figure as he should have been. It was Iruka, Kakashi, and Keiji's onetime sensei, Jiraiya. The plane landed and they all took a bus to the cabins near the beach.
"Ok," said Keiji trying to get everyone's attention. They had just reached the cabins, but there were three instead of just one big one. "Ok listen to me, we have just decided the pairing for houses and who heads those houses. I and Anko will be taking the following: Naruto, Hinata, Sasuke, and Sakura. Kurenai and Kakashi will take: Shino, Kiba, Neiji, Tenten. Gai and Rock Lee will take: Shikamaru, Temari, Chouji, and Ino. Gaara and Kankuro will be staying with Anko and me since we have the biggest cabin."
"Why do you have the biggest cabin and we have the smallest," shouted Ino.
"You have the smallest cabin because we decided who gets what cabin through rock-paper-scissors. The head of your cabin sucks at rock-paper-scissors. If you want to blame someone then blame him."
"I know," said Anko. "Why don't all we all have a sleep over tonight after we finish unpacking our things?"
"Sure," said Keiji who got a wonderful idea, an awful idea, a wonderful awful idea.
"SO what do you want," said Neiji, who acted cold towards Keiji do to the man's status as a missing-nin.
"First of all," said Keiji. "You ever talk to me without respect or in that tone, Neiji, I will go ape shit on your ass in a second and rip out those eyes that you put so much pride in. Second, I have an idea for a prank to pull on the girls. I've called all of you boys except for Kakashi and Gai because I don't think they'd participate or in Gai's case, keep it a secret. I will suggest a game of spin the bottle. You guys are going to spin until I give the signal which is a tap on the eye patch and one of you spins the bottle. I'll make it land on me and the person whose daring dares me to remove my eye patch. My eye has the ability to render people unconscious so turn around before I remove it. Then, we'll write on their faces with magic markers and steal their pajamas, but not their underwear. If we stole their underwear they would definitely kill us. This prank has a fifty-fifty chance of us getting killed in the process, so I've rigged booby traps around a certain area. There is a safe way which I'll give you a map to. There we can wait until they cool down and laugh at the joke."
"Are you serious," asked Sasuke. "You called us here for a prank."
"I called you here to see if your man enough, worthy enough, for me to bestow upon you something that will improve the power of all your techniques," said Keiji. "All you have to do is participate in your joke, besides I run the biggest risk for being the mastermind behind all this. Anko is going to know who it is that did this and she and the other girls will be coming for my head."
No one wanted to back down so they all agreed.
Anko was surprised when Keiji decided on truth or dare, since anyone cold dare him to take his eye patch off, but Keiji claimed that he could use this as a way to help Naruto tell the others about his demon problem. (Don't forget, Naruto is the new Kyuubi) Tsunade was probably telling the villagers about Naruto right now and he hoped that thing s weren't to hell in a hand basket. Anyway the first spinning was Ino and she landed on Naruto.
"So Naruto, truth or dare," said Ino with an evil smile.
"Dare," said Naruto in defiance of her look.
"Ok then I dare you tell us your deepest, darkest, secrets," said Ino.
Naruto looked at Keiji who nodded his consent. Naruto cleared his throat and said, "It all starts with the attack on the village eighteen years ago on the day I was born. The story wasn't true about the Kyuubi being killed by the Yondaime; the Kyuubi was too powerful to be killed. Instead, the Yondaime used a jutsu to seal the Kyuubi into an infant who hadn't already developed his chakra lines yet. Since he didn't want to burden another family with the curse, he chose his own son, whose mother had died in childbirth. He chose me, the son of the Yondaime, to be the vessel of the Kyuubi. That's why I've been hated by the villagers and that's why the Akatsuki were after me.
"Now here is where I am right now, during the battle with the leader of the Akatsuki, I was going to die if not for the Kyuubi sacrificing itself by merging with me. It gave me all its power and turned me into the new Kyuubi. I'm now a demon lord with control of Konoha's entire summons."
To his surprise, Naruto found that all of his friends now had looks of admiration and acceptance. Naruto felt at peace that his friends liked him for he who he is. Naruto then spun the bottle and it landed on Tenten.
"Okay Tenten truth or dare," said Naruto, who had noticed how close she and Neiji had gotten.
"Dare me," said Tenten in a bring-it-on-bitch voice.
"Bad mistake," said Naruto. "I dare you to kiss Lee."
Everyone looked at Naruto with shock while Neiji shot Naruto a look of death. The young blonde just smiled a cold smile and when Tenten gave Rock Lee a quick peck on the cheek, Naruto laughed an evil laugh that made Orochimaru shudder with fear. Tenten then spun the bottle softly so that it could land on Neiji, her tag team partner.
"Neiji, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Do you love me?"
"Yes I do Tenten."
Now Neiji spun the bottle with the right amount of strength so that it landed on Hinata. He smirked at the thought of a perfect idea to avenge Tenten. He said, "Truth or dare."
"Dare," said Hinata with the determination to be strong and brave.
"Slap Naruto on the face," said Neiji.
Hinata reluctantly obeyed and slapped Naruto on the face. The slap caused a lot of laughter and chuckles from the rest, but Naruto knew that Hinata knew the perfect way to pay him back. Hinata spun the bottle till it landed on Tenten again.
"Truth or dare," asked Hinata. Tenten chose dare because she couldn't see innocent Hinata doing anything dirty. She was dead wrong. "Whisper into Neiji's right ear something intimate."
Hinata knew that Neiji's right ear was sensitive and Neiji had been thinking perverted thoughts (he is a guy) about Tenten. When Tenten whispered into his ear, Neiji had a hard time blocking up a nose bleed so he grabbed the quickest thing he could find, which happened to be one of Tenten's weapons scrolls. The casualties were one weapons scroll and Neiji, who was beaten senseless by Tenten. Tenten then spun the bottle and it landed on Sasuke. Tenten was going to get revenge even though it would anger Sakura. The Uchiha's choice was obvious, dare.
"I dare you to kiss Hinata," said Tenten who noticed all too well Sakura's death glares.
Sasuke noticed Naruto's death glares and also Keiji giving him the sign. Sasuke spun the bottle and miraculously, it landed on Shino. Shino, not wanting any dark secrets to get out, chose dare.
"Alright, I dare you to remove those glasses," said Sasuke. "I don't think we've ever seen you without them."
Shino removed his glasses and revealed he had a very light grey eye color that seemed a bit chilling. Shino the spun and landed on Keiji, he knew it was time.
"Keiji I dare you to remove your eye patch," said Shino. All the girls looked at him while the boys looked away. Keiji had wolf eyes that were a red circle instead of yellow surrounding black a black circle with a narrow yellow slit running down the center of it. It made the girls drowsy and in a minute they were all sleeping on the floor.
