Again I only own Najoki and Kyo. So far I know it's not too intersting, but it gets better. Promise.
As I spent a week with my new team, I realized why Kakashi needed me. They really didn't like each other. We did a few stupid missions, like baby-sitting, cat finding, and crap like that until Naruto started complaining.
"All we do are these lame missions. Can't we do something more exciting?" he complained. I shook my head and sighed. Didn't he know we're supposed to do missions like this? After much complaining the Hokage gave in. So we got a C-ranked mission protecting an old man. Not much better, but it was a start. Of course all the old man did was complain too.
"I have a bunch of kids protecting me?" he asked, in a complaining tone of voice. I rolled my eyes. Old men were supposed to be more civilized, not childish. Naruto complained again so I tuned them out. Instead I thought more about what I'd seen in the abandoned house. I glanced at Sasuke. What did his question mean? Of course he ignored me. Sasuke did that to everyone apparently. I was so lost in thought; I didn't notice the kunai fly past my head until it was too late. I moved a little, but it still sliced the hair tie holding my hair. My light brown hair fell down to the back of my knees. Two freaks came out. Long story short they tore Kakashi to smithereens, Sasuke got a hero moment saving Naruto, (which he really didn't have to do), and it turned out Kakashi wasn't injured, and he saved us. So Kakashi was the real hero. (Sorry Sasuke.)
While I was still getting over the fact we were attacked and it ended that quickly, Sakura pointed out Naruto was bleeding. I looked over at him. He'd started freaking out. Sasuke came and stood by me.
"Naruto's not the only one. Najoki's bleeding too," he said. I looked at him. His eyes were on my cheek.
"I'll be fine," I said. Kakashi looked at me.
"Naruto, stop moving. There was poison in their claws," he said. Naruto stopped, but I could tell he was still freaking out. Kakashi then turned to Tazuna. "The question is why were they following us?" Tazuna looked between us.
After that a sharp pain hit my shoulder. I tried to make out what Tazuna said, but the pain distracted me. I looked at Sasuke. He was looking at me in confusion, but didn't let anyone else see. After a few moments, the pain went away. I sighed in relief. By then Kakashi was talking.
"The mission now sounds like more of an A ranked or B ranked mission. Now the question is do we go back to treat Naurto20and possibly Najoki's wounds, or do we continue?" he asked.
"I'll be fine. Poison doesn't bother me," I said. Kakashi nodded, since he knew that. Now Naruto decided to be an idiot. He took a kunai and stuck it in his hand. Blood fell on the ground. Was he trying to kill himself? Beside me, Sasuke shook his head.
"Idiot," he muttered. After Naruto was done giving his really dumb, unnecessary speech, he'd lost a good amount of blood. Kakashi bandaged his hand and we continued our mission. We arrived near a river and got on a little boat thing. As much as I hated it, I sat by Sasuke. The whole boat ride was awkward. When we got off, we walked into another forest. Now Naruto was really keyed up. He threw a kunai at every movement. The last one almost hit a rabbit. It was a white snow hair… Bad thing was it was in the middle of spring…
While I was thinking, Kakashi yelled for us to get down. We did and a demon wind shuriken flew over our heads. It caught in a tree and a man jumped on it. I recognized this guy too, but I couldn't remember from where.
"Zabuza," Kakashi said as we surrounded Tazuna. I looked over at Zabuza. He had short brown hair, black, hate filled eyes, and a white bandage covering his mouth. Instantly I had another flashback.
Zabuza was there in front of the abandoned house in the forest. Below him was a little girl. Her long brown fell in the snow and she was crying. He just stood over her and looked 'down.
"This is what happens to the weak. Your brother didn't stand a chance against the Uchihas. Don't screw up Najoki. If you do, you'll fall just like him," he said. My eyes widened. Was this the younger me? I walked closer and saw Kyo's dead body in the snow. He now looked peaceful. His brown hair was framing his face. Some one had put his hands over his blood wound. Judging by the little girl's hands, she did.
I didn't get to see what happened after that because I felt some one grab me and pull me with them. When I snapped back into reality, I saw it was Sasuke. His ebony eyes glanced down at my face. Kakashi was trapped in a water bubble. Had I missed a lot?
"We need your help. You're right, we can't do this alone. You have to help us," Sakura said. I looked around and saw a Zabuza clone. I looked back at Sakura.
"You stay there with Tazuna. I'll get the boys to help me," I said and gave her a reassuring smile. She smiled back. I turned to Sasuke and Naruto. "I'll distract him. You two talk." They both nodded. Why I became leader, I wasn't sure. I then turned to the Zabuza clone. It's just a clone. Nothing more, I thought. I sighed and ran towards it. It was ready and tried to hit me with the sword. I jumped behind him.
After a bit of fighting, I felt like collapsing. He'd slam me on the ground, send really hard punches close to my stomach, and got me by the neck once. I looked over towards the boys and didn't even notice Zabuza come at me. He hit me with a kunai right in the stomach. The boys looked toward me when Sakura screamed.
"I told you not to get weak," he said and moved away. Naruto took that chance to strike. Once Zabuza was distracted, Sasuke moved towards me. He draped the arm that wasn't gripping my stomach over his shoulder and took me to Sakura and Tazuna. Without a word, he set me down.
"Be careful Sasuke. Whatever stupid plan you and Naruto are planning, please be careful," I said. He nodded and went to stand by Naruto, who had just given up.
"Are you okay?" Sakura asked, bending down beside me. I looked at her. Her green eye held worry.
"I'm fine. It's just a minor wound," I said and smiled. She nodded. I looked back at the boys. Now Sasuke was getting pounded on. I bit my bottom lip. Silently, I prayed for my team to survive this. After that I blacked out.
I regained consciousness later on the floor of a strange house. I sat up quickly and sucked in a deep breath at the pain that shot through me.
"Do you forget you're injured?" Sasuke asked beside me. I looked over at him. He was looking at me with an odd expression. He looked worried, but tried to cover it up by trying to be mad.
"It only hurts a little bit," I replied. "How'd you guys do?" He looked away from me, worrying me.
"Only a few minor cuts and bruises. You got the worst of it," he said.
"So Kakashi's okay?" I asked. He nodded.
"Just concerned." That was all he said before Naruto and Sakura burst in. Sasuke made a bored face. I was not done talking to him.
"Are you okay?" Naruto asked, sitting by me. I nodded.
"Just a little sore," I said and smiled. The next to come in were Tazuna and a young woman with long black hair. Naruto ignored the fact they were there.
"You missed all the action. I set Kakashi free," he bragged. Sakura gave him a dirty look along with Sasuke.
"You wouldn't have been able to if Najoki wouldn't have stepped up and became leader," she snapped. I smiled weakly.
"I really didn't do anything. I just got hurt," I said. Kakashi stepped in then. Where were all these people coming from?
"Not true. You stepped up when you were needed," he said. I shrugged. "So are you up for training?" The young woman spoke up.
"She just woke up!" she said. I looked at her.
"I'm okay. Plus trainings the only way I can get better," I said. She sighed. I threw off the covers and stood up. "Ready." Kakashi smiled. We all filed out to the woods and when Kakashi told us what we were doing, I frowned. We were using charka to climb trees. I knew how to do that already. Sakura and I were the first to get done so we sat. The boys were slower.
When we left the boys were still working on the lesson, so we left them behind. They burst in sometime at dinner. Of course they competed to see who ate more. When they threw up, I left. I went to sit in the trees, wanting another flashback. Nothing happened. After a little while Sasuke climbed up. I saw him deciding whether to say or not. He stayed.
"Why are you up here?" I asked. He shrugged.
"I thought I'd be alone. Apparently not," he said. It was quite for awhile then he asked, "Do you really not remember me at all?" I nodded.
"I can't remember anything," I said. "Well except for the two memory flashes I had. One of our brothers fighting and Zabuza… Itachi killed Kyo." Sasuke nodded.
"He killed my whole clan. He was an ANBU and when Kyo went crazy he was supposed to check him out… I don't know what he found out, but he killed Kyo for it. He was going to kill you, but didn't. You were there… You ran and told me what happened. Kyo like to fake death, so I told you to go make sure… I never saw you after that," he said. He was hurt. "We were best friends, so when my clan as killed I went looking for you, but you were gone. You were the only person I had left."
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know," I said. He looked at me with hate filled eyes.
"You're just like your brother. The only thing you're good for is deceiving people," he said, climbed down, and walked off.
