I'm back, with another chapter. Oh, and incase you're wondering the Akatsuki will come at the end of this chapter. Now, ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter 3: Squad 7, camping, and leaving.
Recap: "I'm a witch!" I blurted out. And it might just be the worst mistake of my life.
I brought my hands to my mouth. The Hokage stared at me wide eyed. He looked at me sternly expecting this to be a joke, but I kept my mouth shut and accepted defeat. He now knows my secret.
"You're not kidding are you?" He asked.
I shook my head. I took my hands away from my mouth. And looked at the ground sadly. 'If only I paid attention in school!' I scolded myself. 'If I could get back home.' I slumped down to my knees, and sobbed quietly to myself.
That's when two men came out and grabbed both my arms, and carried me away. I thrashed, kicked, and screamed. "Please, I'll do anything! Don't hurt me!" I yelled. "I was born this way." I whispered.
The men dragged me into a dark room, shut the door, and left. There wasn't any source of light. I was alone… again. Two days later and I'm still in the room. I conjured up a bed, a light, and of course food. I was sitting down, thinking to myself, when the door opened. A strange man came in with a clipboard.
I knew exactly where this was going.
He sat down at a table that was there before, but I never seemed to use it. I got up and sat across from him. The man held a scary appearance. He had a long pitch black coat, he also had this thing around his head with a metal plate, with some sort of symbol on it. And he had several scars on his face.
He looked horrifying.
"So, they weren't lying." I snapped my head up.
"They weren't lying about what? That I'm a witch? Well, you know what I'm normal too. Just because I have magical abilities, doesn't make me a monster. Maybe if you didn't drag me here into solitary confinement I would have helped you through your problems. You're probably just gonna keep me locked up in here to prevent me from hurting anybody. If you're so worried about their well being what about mine?" I questioned/yelled.
He looked at me shocked. I was surprised myself. I never have outbursts like that. He then smirked. 'Oh, this guy is asking for it." I thought.
Then he did something that caught me completely of guard.
He got up, and opened the door. " You're right. We should have talked to you. We'll let you go, but only if you speak to the Hokage first."
My jaw dropped. I didn't know my speech had that much of an impact. I waved my hand all around the room and the bed, and lights were gone In a flash. I ran out the door and into the Hokage's office.
He looked at me and apologized. "I'm sorry. I guess I overreacted to the news you gave me. Is there anyway you can forgive me?" He asked. I thought about this for a minute. 'It would be for the best.'" I forgive you" I said. He nodded and asked me something that I've been waiting to hear my entire life.
"So, do you want to become a ninja?" I lost it.
" A NINJA OMFG. THIS IS GONNA BE SO AWESOME! I CAN BE ALL STEALTHY AND CRAP. OH,OH AND KARATE CHOPS. HELL, YEAH I WANNA BE A NINJA."
He didn't answer after a while. 'Oh no not again.' I thought. He shook his head, and recomposed himself. "Ok, I just need your name, a few other information, and you're good to go" He said.
"Oh, ok. Well my name is Natalie B. Yomi, my blood type is AB, my normal attire is a t-shirt, and shorts. I like crackers…"
He stopped me. "Not that type of information, but ok. As of right now you are a member of Squad 7. They'll be here shortly." After about five minutes of waiting someone burst through the door.
It was Naruto.
A group of other people came in behind him. One of them had silverish, gray hair. Then two other kids came in and they were about the same age as Naruto. They all looked at me. "Hey, it's you again!" He pointed out.
"Yeah, I remember you. Naruto, right?" I smiled. He was the only one to acknowledge me. Even though he saw me fall out of nowhere. "Yep, that's me." He sounded proud. The others looked surprised that he knew anyone around here. That's when the Hokage spoke.
"Kakashi." The man with silverish hair came forward. " This is Natalie B. Yomi. She will be your new squad member. You will train her to be a full fledged ninja. She already knows Naruto, and they seem to be friends. So she should fit in fine." This Kakashi guy nodded. He turned around to leave, and motioned for me to follow.
This is gonna be fun.
*Time Skip* At the training field
We all walked to this grassy field. We sat down next to these large wood stumps. " Ok, Natalie." Said, who's name I realized is Kakashi. "We'll all introduce ourselves. How about we start with you."
" Oh, ok. As you already know I'm Natalie B. Yomi, but I prefer you call me Nat. I like hanging out with my friends. I always catch on quickly, and I figured out 2 days ago, ramen is heaven."
I saw Naruto smile, and Kakashi muttered a small " Oh, no not another one." I giggled. I was always a little crazy. I'll fit right in. They're ninja for crying out loud.
"Ok, so what about you?" I pointed to the boy with the blue shirt. He said nothing for a minute before answering me.
"I'm Sasuke Uchiha, that's all you need to know."
'Well, looks like someone needs new communication skills.'
"Ok then, what about you." I pointed to the girl last. She was really creeping me out. One minute, she's staring at Sasuke, then the other she glaring daggers at me. 'I guess she really likes him.' She spoke.
"I'm Sakura Haruno." I waited for her to say anything else. 'Well looks like her and Sasuke have more things in common than she thinks.' I laughed inwardly at my joke. Then Kakashi spoke.
"Ok, now that we all know each other. Lets start our training.
* 5 hours of super awesome ninja training later.*
I was lying on the ground. I couldn't move, and my head hurt. It was a long day.
'Man, being a ninja is hard, I don't know how they do that everyday.'
During that training session, I almost died twice, twice! All I wanted was to take a break from running for 2 freakin minutes, but nooo, you can't do that.
That's when I heard footsteps. I lifted my head, and saw an orange jumpsuit.
"Naruto" I coughed. "What's going on?" When he saw me on the ground half dead, he ran up to me. "Nat, what happened, are you ok, were there enemy ninja?" I shook my head. This guy was with me all day and he's asking me… never mind.
"We gotta get you to the hospital!" Naruto yelled in my ear. "Naruto, I'm fine." I said while getting up. "But I think you busted my eardrum." he gave a sheepish grin. "Sorry, we were all worried, when you didn't show up to the ramen shop."
"But, it's like eleven p.m, when did you guys get ramen?" His eyes widened. I guess he didn't realize it was that late, but there was a festival going on, so it lit the place.
"Never mind. So where's Sasuke, and Sakura?" He pointed towards the exit of the training field. I started walking to leave. I turned around and saw a dazed Naruto. " You coming?" I asked. He came out of his daze and ran over to me.
*Time Skip* With Sasuke, and Sakura.
We were all talking and laughing. Even Sasuke had a smile on his face. That's when an idea popped up in my head.
"Hey guys." I said. They all turned to face me. "We should all go… CAMPING!" They all looked at me. The only one who seemed to like the idea was Naruto, but he always had a silly smile on his face.
"I think it's a great idea." We all turned around to see Kakashi.
"Kakashi Sensei!" We all said at the same time. 'I wonder how long he's been there. Psh, stalker.'
"What do you mean, Sensei?" Sakura asked. " I mean the camping thing, it seems like a good idea. Nat's, not gonna be here forever. So it would be a nice way to get to know each other better."
Naruto and I smiled. Our camping trip was pulling through, but I had a plan.
Once we were all relaxed. I would tell them I'm a witch. I think I should tell them. I fell like I can trust them 100%. I don't know if they'll trust me, or even believe me, but it's worth a shot.
*Another wonderful Time Skip* In the tent, at the camping trip.
"That was the best meal I ever had, next to Ichiraku ramen, of course." Naruto said. Yeah, classic Naruto. I'm gonna miss that. After I tell them I'm a witch I can't stay any longer. Everyone's relaxed, and just sitting.
Time to make my move.
"Guys." I said. I heard an assorted amount of hmm's and yeah's. "I hate lying to you guys." There ears pirked up. I think they were expecting something to happen today.
"I'm…" I hesitated. 'Come on Nat! You can do this.' I took a deep breath, they were gonna find out any. Well, here goes. "How would you feel if I said I'm a magical being?" I gave a smile.
'Yeah, I'm screwed.' I thought.
"What are you talking about? Are you ok?" Sasuke asked. I never knew he was one to care. He came up and felt my forehead. "You seem fine." He shrugged his shoulders and sat back down. I need to get this over with.
"I'm a witch. I'm a witch from the magic realm. I was trying to go on vacation, but because I'm not in that much control of my powers, I ended up here. That's I fell from the sky. Please, you have to believe me.
I was begging and I never do that unless it's absolutely necessary, or for money, but that's beside the point.
They nodded, but they looked like they didn't believe me. Ok they want proof? I'll give them proof.
" Fine, I'll prove it." I got out my wand, which magically appeared in my hand. It was a crimson red wand with a big crescent moon on top. In the middle of it was the sun. I had a strong aura to it that even they could tell power was emitting from it.
"Wow!" They all said at the same time. "I guess you weren't kidding. We owe you an apology." Said Sakura. I nodded. 'Now to tell them the bad news.' "Well, there's some bad news. Tomorrow… I must leave." They all looked shocked.
Especially Sasuke.
I thought he would take it the best.
"No." I turned my head to see Sasuke. His head was down, and he was clenching his fists. "Sasuke." Sakura, sounded really worried.
"I've lost everything important to me." He shot his head up tears coming out of his eyes. "AND I'M NOT GONNA LOSE YOU!" He yelled.
I was surprised. If he lost everything important to him.
"Sasuke are you ok? I asked. He ran out the tent, crying. Naruto and, Sakura ran after him.
'What have I done?'
*Time Skip* Tomorrow Morning. Sasuke's P.O.V
I was walking over to say goodbye to Nat. I don't know what got in to me yesterday. I've never cried since… that day. I guess I maybe, sort of, kinda like her.
Oh, who am I kidding she's beautiful.
I devised a plan to tell her how I like her, with out Naruto, or Sakura figuring out. I was doing it the old fashioned way, and was going to use a note. I know, It's a really stupid idea, but I might never see her again.
Her beautiful face, her lightly tanned skin. The way her hips sway when she walks. Ok, I'm getting off track. Time to make my move.
When I arrived at the leaf gate, Naruto, and Sakura were already there. I saw he hug Sakura briefly, but when she hugged Naruto, she squeezed the life out of him. I made a face.
I was jealous.
It was hard to admit it, but I was. Even though she was 4 years older than me. When she saw me she immediately let go of Naruto and latched on to me.
I took this as my chance to put the note in her bag.
Ha, she didn't suspect a thing. She pulled away, and smiled at me. I blushed. That made her smile even more. "I'm gonna miss you guys." We all settled in for a group hug. "Well, better flash out of here, before any notices." She snapped her fingers, and in a flash, the love of my life was gone.
*Time Skip* ( I know I do that a lot.) 2 days into traveling. Nat's P.O.V
I was tired, I just couldn't keep flashing place to place. People would suspect something. So I've been walking for 2 days I slowed down time around me to get some sleep.
I didn't wanna waste anytime.
That's when two clocked figures came out of nowhere, and blocked my path. One had a sword. If it's a fight they're looking for, they came to the wrong place.
I was not in the mood.
What do you think? I worked really hard on this I wanna know your opinion. Oh, and one more thing… REVIEW!
