HI!!! Ok, u ppl have been soooooooooooo patient and sooooooooooooooooo nice. Spinning flames is another original jutsu. I didn't explain it clearly on purpose. Please don't take it or the other OJ's. Plus, the name is cool so don't take that either. I own them-about the only thing I do own right about now…
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto but Kuro-chan does. He's her slave. She won him against a bet with Jiraya. Honest. (crossed fingers)
Claimer: I own…this basketball, and this baseball cap, and you, and your computer, and your mom, and your BRAIN, and your… (Yep. That was stupid. All I own is the fixed plot, the original characters, and their SUPER POWERS!!!! YAY!!! I'M ON CRACK!!!!!!!!(not really…or am I?))
Any suggestions on how the story should go? It's your call. I'm being nice and I might choose three ideas for a chapter or two that will probably screw up the story, but it's going 2b awesome!!! (it's also another way of apologizing!!!)
Chapter 12: How about crying?

Running away…
Broken hearts….
Captured spirits…
These are the things disturbing Zakuro-sama's dream.
The young girl saw clouds; red clouds. She then saw swirling blue chakra heading for her, but at such a slow pace she wouldn't have to move for what seemed like hours. She saw the many pains of wounded ninja flash past her in a millisecond. She saw a man being tortured. His hair was shaved clean. A ninja was using a shuriken and purposely took his time. She saw screws being drilled into the man's head terribly slowly. She literally felt the claws that were used to leave gruesome wounds all over his face. He looked tired and angry and sad. She felt tired and angry and sad.
Something else flashed through her vision. A woman is fleeing from wolves. You'd think that a ninja could easily kill the animals, and they could, except the woman running wasn't a ninja at all. She had long, black hair and shiny blue eyes. Looking at the woman's eyes was a painful task for Zakuro. She could see the emptiness in the eyes of the girl being devoured by wolves. She could stand it no longer.
She turned away.
But what Zakuro saw next was the most painful thing ever. The chakra that seemed to be 45-mins away was now about 2-mins away. The owner-or owners- of the chakra were none other than Neji and Zakuro's ex-boyfriend, Dark.

"I wonder what's up with Zakuro…" Naruto said to his two teammates and sensei. "Who cares? We're not her team anymore." Sakura blurted.
Now she wishes she hadn't.
"Sakura?! What do you mean??" Both Kakashi and Sasuke said-well, Sasuke yelled since Zakuro just saved his life. "Um…uh…" The pink haired girl began. "She…um…" "gad, you sound like Hinata!" Naruto yelled. He wasn't amused. "Sakura, you're supposed to care about her regardless- even if she's not on your team anymore. That's what younger ninja have to do to build themselves up; stay together. This is the time to learn off of one another. You don't have to care personally for Zakuro- it's your choice, even though I expected you would-but you do have to respect her." Kakashi turned around and began to walk away.
"See ya'. I gotta go." He said and disappeared. Sasuke then turned towards the door pointing in the other direction. "I'll see you when you actually start using your head again. But it's not like I care. About Zakuro, I mean." Sasuke did a flick of his hand and walked out of the door. "Sasuke! It's not that I-
He was gone.
Sakura stared at the doorway the whole time. Well, she's not gonna get prince charming's attention for a while. The pink haired girl sort of dazed out, before Naruto said something. This something shocked Sakura more than anything that ever came out of his mouth before.
"Sasuke wasn't there. He didn't see it. But…in a way…" 'Shoot! I wasn't supposed to bring that up…' Naruto mentally thought. "…it never happened." The blonde finished, looking up at his friend again after staring at a spot on the floor for a few minutes. "never happened? Never happened? NEVER HAPPENED?!?!?! DON'T YOU GET IT NARUTO!?! ZAKURO'S CRAZY!!!!!!" Sakura yelled to the top of her lungs. She had just then turned towards her teammate. "I wouldn't say that she's crazy, she's just emotionally challenged! Like…m- someone I know…" Naruto said, almost tripping up and revealing one of many secrets. He'd already done it once, except what he had mentioned at first wasn't really a secret at all.

Wind. It's everywhere. It's surrounding her senses and taking control of her body. It is their strong point. Their greatest strength. The element they have mastered. One shouts "whirl" and the other shouts "Death wind".
Zakuro was trapped in a storm of nothing but wind. Suddenly, she saw a figure in the shadows and struggled to get to where he was standing. When she got a few feet away from him however, not only did she see who it really was, but she received a wind attack that blew her back about 12ft.
It was Neji.
Then, another helped her up but pushed her away from himself immediately. He mouthed 'let's spar' and smiled, but Zakuro couldn't hear or interpret him. When he released his attack, she wasn't ready and was once again thrown back. The only thing is she would've been dead- it's a good thing she was a biju. And that this was only a dream.
By the way, it was Dark.
'Can you die in a dream? Would you also die in reality? Who can answer my questions? Where's my friend? No, I can't cry. I have to be stronger. I have to train. I have to prove that this bloody dame can live up to her name. That is my purpose and I intend on sticking to it.
Zakuro stood up, grabbed two shuriken, and charged toward the two boys. As soon as she got up to them though, she stopped. 'Why did you stop?' Both boys mouthed to the girl who was shaking. She stood there trembling, taking baby steps towards the two of them. She then embraced Dark, who was just as surprised as Neji was. Neji began to pat her head and Dark rubbed her back. Suddenly, unknown power came from the both of them and Zakuro was about to be blown to smithereens-
"Zakuro" Someone cried from the other side of the world it seemed. "Zakuro, wake up." This time, Zakuro opened her eyes to see the boy who had just saved her 'life'. "Arata…why are you up here?" She asked her brother figure. "I'll tell you. One, you were whimpering like a lost puppy. Two, tears were streaming down your face. Three, you sitting up here crying out to someone who isn't even alive anymore-
He stopped suddenly, looking at his 'little sister.' "…do you…dream about him Zakuro?" He asked softly. She reached down her shirt and pulled out a picture that was hidden in her inner breast pocket. "This…" She held the picture out in front of him so that he could see better. "is Dark." He instantly tensed up but calmed back down. "I've got some movies we can watch. I got that new one you were begging Hayate-sama to get, you now, 'Lovely Killer'. I didn't want to watch it without you. And look! I've even gotten you more chocolate." Arata was smiling like a kindergartner who just tied their own shoes for the first time would look.
His 'sister', however, looked like Gaara. She had a glare on her face with a hint of annoyance. Yep, he had done it now. "JUST LEAVE ME TO MY BED AND MY CHOCOLATE!!!" She exploded. Arata looked confused. "sigh. I know you're trying to help, but I want to be alone, and everything is irritating me since the whole Neji incident. I'm sorry about yelling at you, but I'd appreciate it if you'd get the heck out of my room. Thank you." Now it was her turn to smile.
