YEAHHHHHH CHAPTER 8 IS HERE!!!!!!!! SO HERE WE GO!!!!!!! TIME TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENS AT THE FESTIVAL(AMONG OTHER THINGS)

HERE WE GO!!!!!!!

PS I DO NOT OWN NARUTO(DARN IT!!!!!!)

Kit kit walked away from Neji with a new warmth of hope growing in her heart. She finally had someone to love her and someone she loved in return that she hadnt had for a long time. Even asagi noticed this change in her as she enterred her brother's home. And for the next three days nothing seemed like it could bring her down. Nothing! Kit kit began to smile more and she even began to to train with the other ninja her age in the specified training areas. But unknown to her, that was for a different reason...

THE DAY OF THE FESTIVAL

"Shadow clone JUTSU!!!" Naruto yelled as he began to multiply into a 100 clones. "COME AT ME!!" Sakura ran toward him and through a bunch of shurikan at his clones causing a few clones to disapear. Then Hinata began to do hand to hand combat with some of the clones with her old genin teammates kiba and shino.

"MY TURN" Kit kit yelled as she ran toward about 25 of naruto's clones. Why i ought to!!! what a showoff!!! Naruto thought as he prepared himself for her attack. Kit kit smiled and began to make hand signs for one of her many aquirred jutsus. "Hurricane of a thousand knives!!! Waterfall style!!!!!" she yelled as she threw in the air a bunch of knives. THey began to fall towards the earth and naruto's clones began to scatter to get out of the way. But as soon as they did that the knives "magically" began to swirl around the clones at super sonic speed trapping them. Then the knives imploded on the clones destroying them.

"AWWWWW!!! Why did you have to do that???" Naruto whined after she destroyed his clones.

Kit kit grinned and began to laugh. "Because i can" she replied tossing her long hair out of her face. Then

She began to taunt naruto and he in return began to become frantic and make an idiot of himself. THen Sakura began to gain up on Naruto and make fun of him as well while hinata tried to make them get off his back.

Not far from them, Neji sat in a tall tree and stared at them. He smiled, She truly is a remarkable ninja, he thought as he stared at her in particular. He decided to join in on the fun and jumped closer to the action through the trees of the training area. His presence was felt when he landed on the ground near the others, for then everything was quiet.

"You know Naruto, that is pretty sad to be beaten so easily." he smiled and closed his eyes and then stared at naruto. THen he looked at kit kit and blushed slightly. The other ninja looked away. They knew everything. Unfortunately, Rock Lee couldnt keep his mouth shut about what he saw. (Lets just say that he was tortured by a certain someone until he blurted it out. cough cough naruto) Kit kit looked at Neji and began to blush like him. She began to make an excuse that she needed to get back to Asagi to help her with something and then she began to run through the forrest of the training area back to the village, with her face turning redder with each step she took.

Neji smiled and looked away from the rest of the group. He then too began to make an excuse to get back to the village and began to jump through the trees of the forrest. The other ninja looked at eachother and laughed. They began to murmur among themselves about their present situation.

"With the festival tonight, do you think that they are really going together?'' Hinata asked quietly lowering her large clear eyes.

"With the way they look at eachother, what Rock Lee said has to be true!" Sakura said

"Awwwww come on!!!! I dont believe one bit of it!!!!! Neji is too uptight to be into that kind of stuff!" Naruto said rolling his eyes. I think you may be wrong Naruto, Hinata thought, Ive seen what she has done to him, he has changed. He isnt the neji we once knew naruto, he's different now naruto, he's different.

MEANWHILE BACK IN THE VILLAGE outside asagi's brother's house

Kit kit walked closer to the place she had begun to call home. THe sky was bright and high in the sky and air was perfect for well doing just about anything right now.Asagi was at her window looking down upon the her, while she was sewing something, as the elderly tend to do. She smiled and began to walk down the stairs to meet Kit kit at the door.

Kit kit walked up to the door to only be greeted by asagi's smling face. She smiled back at her host and began to walk inside but was stopped by Asagi. Kit kit looked at Asagi with her large brown eyes in puzzlement.

"Is there something wrong??" she asked backing off away from Asagi. Asagi smiled and led her inside.

"Come with me, i would like to give you something." She smiled and led Kit kit to the old bedroom upstairs. Kit kit followed, her curiosity growing with each passing second. I wonder what she wants to give me???

Asagi lead her to a large chest on the other side of the room with large engravings dug into the side of it. Kit kit had always assumed that it was filled with Asagi's clothes or something that didnt require her to look into it though. Asagi opened the old chest and pulled out an article of clothing. It was a gorgeous white kimono with pink lotus petals draped along the sleeves. Asagi then pulled out a sky blue sash and a sky blue kimono to wear underneith the other one. Kit kit's eyes grew wide and she stepped back. Asagi smiled and gesterred the old kimono toward her. Kit kit looked down at the beautiful cloth below her.

"It was old, so i fixed it and made sure it was your size." Asagi said smiling to her.

"Asagi,... i cant...i cant except this." Kit kit said pushing the garment away from her."It is yours and probably very precious to you." SHe looked away

"But i want you to wear it, for tonight, I know its a special night for you and i want you to look your best." Asagi said, this time actually placing the garment into her arms. She smiled and told Kit kit to meet her at the lake at 5 so that she could help her bathe and get ready. Kit kit's eyes looked like they would over flow in tears as she began to Say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU over and over again. Asagi smiled and told Kit kit to leave the Kimono there so it wouldnt get ruined until then. Kit kit then ran off into the village happier then ever.

Asagi then quietly walked over to the window and looked at the excited girl run through the streets back to the training ground. She said quietly just above a whisper,"Oh Moegi, If only you could see your child now," THen she pulled out an old photo out of her own kimono that she wore around the house that showed two young girls together with a boy holding up their new headbands of their village and smiling, "If only..."

LATER THAT EVENING AT THE LAKE...

Kit kit began to pace back and forth at the lake waiting for asagi. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! WHERE THE HELL IS SHE!!!! she thought Kit kit took off her vest and sat on the ground and stared at the setting sun beyond the horizon and sighed.

"Im here!!! PHEW!!! i forgot how far this place was." Asagi said as she began to approach the lake's shore, with a large bundle in her arms.

"Bout TIME!!!" Kit kit scolded rolling her eyes. Asagi told her to undress and get into the water to start to bathe. Kit kit nodded and began to do as she said behind some bushes, then she began to walk slowly into the cold water of the lake. However she was hesitant about taking off her headband.

"Come on we dont have all day!" Asagi said grinning. Kit kit glared at Asagi and reluctantly pulled off her headband, revealing her crescent moon mark. Asagi stared at it only for a moment and then pulled out some scented shampoos and soaps and began to walk into the shallow parts of the lake, to wash kit kit's long blue hair. Asagi Pulled out an ivory comb and then began to pull Kit kit's hair into a high pony tail. She then pulled out some mahogany chopsticks and aranged them in her hair. Kit kit's birthmark was very visible now as she stared at her reflection. She shiverred. Mabie people wont notice, Asagi didnt after all she thought. Asagi then fetched Kit kit a towel and told her to change behind some bushes into the kimono. Kit kit did so and came out of the woods, her beauty equal to that of a goddess.

"And now for the final touch!" ASagi said with a smile as she began to apply a subtle layer of lipstick and eye shadow. "Now you look like a goddess of the heavens above." She said, stepping back to look at her handiwork. Kit kit looked at her reflection in the cool water. Is that me??? She thought staring back at the unrecognizable beauty before her. Asagi then handed her two beautifully crafted fans with paintings of larks on them. SHe smiled and began to then lead Kit kit back to the village.

Asagi escorted Kit kit back to her brother's home to wait for Neji. Of course they didnt have to wait because he was already there. He wore an ornimental robe of Black and crimson red, his hair tied back into a low ponytail. (He still wore his headband though) When she approached him however except for her birthmark,

he almost didnt recognize her. His large blank eyes grew wide as he gazed at the goddess before him. Kit kit blushed and looked away. Asagi smiled and walked into her home chuckling to herself. Asagi you've done it again! she thought Neji took Kit kit's hand and led her through the village to the main square, where most of the festivals activities were being held. Their fellow ninja were already there, and they stared at the couple before them.

"Kit kit is that you??!!!" Sakura asked Her eyes growing wide, she looked at the others of their group seeing their reactions were the same. Kit kit blushed until her face was as pink as the lotus petals on her dress. Neji saw this and he pulled her aside, behind a food booth.

" You really do look beautiful tonight," he said looking away from her so she wouldnt see him blush. Kit kit smiled and placed her hand on his cheek and pulled it to face her. She stared at his blank byakugan eyes with her own brown ones. She was about to give him a small kiss on the cheek but she stopped, and told him how much she appreciated him taking her to the festival.

" You are truly a Remarkable ninja neji, i am truly lucky to.." she said quietly, but before she could say more, a flutist began to play followed by others and and it was time to dance. Hinata even was able to ask Naruto to a dance(but he was so dense, that he still didnt realized that she liked him. )

Later, The Head muscician then asked if any of the girls would like to show off their stuff and take the floor. Ino went first showing off everything she had and even using her kunai in the act. THen Sakura(ANGRY AND READY TO KILL INO FOR SHOWING OFF) took a shot at it, causing naruto and Rock lee to turn BRIGHT red. Hinata walked up to Kit kit, who was standing with Neji.

"Why dont you go and give it a try?" Hinata asked her in her quiet voice. "Im sure you will be the best"

Kit kit blushed and began to refuse until Sakura and Ino and a bunch of other konochi(sp??) began to push her out onto the dance floor. Neji tried to stop them but he was outnumberred. He groaned, this has bad news written all over it... Does she even know how to dance??

Kit kit tried to escape but then the muscicians announced their next contestent. Kit kit blushed and walked to the center of the floor. The muscicians then began to play a very mysterious and wild tune. Kit kit wipped out one of her fans and coverred her face. She then began to dance in a wild and graceful fashion, Her long hair flowing behind her. She then whipped out the other fan and used it in her routine and began to sing in a voice more beautiful than angels...

What do i hide beghind this fan?

What do you hide behind your band?

We all have secrets behind us,

We are all not all that different.

She danced her way in front of hinata who was blushing next to naruto

This is a girl,

like any other,

she hides her face from the world,

Daring is she she stands by her lover,

hoping he'll notice her.

Hinata began to blush madly, as kit kit then went to naruto

He bears a mark,

of a heavy burden,

He carries withen,

He will keep this beast inside,

and soon guard all man kind.

She went to Rock lee

This is a man,

that is so strong,

He wants to be the best,

but he thinks he is not blessed.

to sakura

This girl fights for a love,

she will go on till he's in her arms,

she will never stop,

Searching for his heart.

To Jairaya (He blushes and goes a little GA GA )

This is a man,

That is not true,

He hides behind his rank,

Hiding his true fate.

(SLAP HE GOES DOWN AND SULKS AWAY)

Then she looked at Neji and blushed slightly as she sang

This is a man,

That hides his blood

that i can see

through his love,

(she blushes even more as she dances closer to him)

He thinks fate can not be changed,

But i think something can be arranged

SHe looked away and danced to the center of the crowd

I bear the mark of my father,

I carry a power within,

This is my secret my fan,

We all have secrets behind the band,

Some are lost to the sands,

As you can see,

You are not alone,

Hiding your secret,

From your home.

She stopped and Smiled and bowed to the crowd. Neji looked at her with his all seeing eyes. How did she know about my family lines? i never told her anything... ANd how does she know about the others? Neji thought The crowd clapped and began to cheer for the maiden before them. She began to blush madly. Mabie i have finally found a place where i belong...

Behind everyone in the crowd the man with the scars began to smile evily. He began to make quick hand signs and mutter under his breath. Kit kit began to feel a pulsating pain in her head. SHe clasped her hands on her head and began to go on her knees, muttering in pain. WHat is happening, It feels as if my chakra is being forced out of my body!!!! she thought as she began to dig her nails into her head from all the pain. Neji's eyes grew wide as he left the crowd and ran to her to try to help her. Everyone around her began to mutter, wondering what ever could be wrong.

"Kit kit whats wrong??" Neji asked as he got closer,

Suddenly a bright Light shot out from Kit kit's body and her transformation began to take place, right in front of the entire village. When the light vanished Kit kit stood there, her eyes welling up with tears. The man in the crowd grinned and yelled,

" SHE IS A DEMON CAN YOU NOT SEE IT!!!! WE MUST KILL HER AT ONCE!!" kit kit began to look frantically around hearing every word through her large fluffy ears. Panic began to fill her and she began to try to escape as some of the villagers began to close in on her. Neji ran up to her trying to console her

"Kit kit whats wrong? Let me help y" Before he could finish she slashed him with her long claws and tears began to flow in one large swoosh from her eyes that seemed to say "Im Sorry" SHe ran off in her kimono, the sleeves now dripping with fresh blood, her fluffy tail trailing beneath the flowing robes. WIth tears flowing behind her like a river a sadness. Neji just stood there, his arm flowing with a liquid the same color as his robes. He began to run after, but was held back, He turned around.

"Asagi?"

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG!!! BUT I HAD STUFF GOING ON. NEXT TIME; WE LEARN ABOUT WHO THIS MAN IS, WHAT ASAGI HAS TO DO WITH IT AND CAN NEJI GET KIT KIT BACK BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE???? FIND OUT NEXT TIME!!!!!
