Sorry about the late update. My sister just had her baby and so it's all very hectic.
Akemi cringed at the bright colors that continued in Naruto's bedroom. The thought of Naruto put a scowl on Akemi's face. He was just so annoying with his orange, and his jerkish attitude. Speak of the devil. Naruto walked in.
"You like orange don't you."
Naruto shrugged.
"I'm going to get ramen. According to Tsunade you've got to stick by me so let's go."
Akemi frowned in confusion.
"What's ramen?"
Naruto nearly fell.
"You've never had ramen before?"
Akemi shook her head.
"What is it?"
Naruto sighed as if he needed to explain something to a child.
"Only the best food in the world! Come on."
Naruto grabbed Akemi and flashed out of the house. When he stopped he felt Akemi shove her way out of his arms.
"What the hell was that?"
Naruto blinked.
"My bloodline limit."
Akemi drew in a shaky breath before exhaling.
"Never do that again."
Naruto shrugged sitting on one of the stools patting one next to him. Akemi sighed sitting down next to him. Ayame appeared with a bright smile.
"Hey Naruto!"
Naruto gave a bright smile and to Akemi he seemed like an entirely different person. This Naruto actually seemed nice.
"Hey Ayame. I'll have the usual."
She looked at Akemi for her order.
"One chicken ramen please."
Ayame smiled.
"Coming right up!"
Naruto soon dug into his first of four bowels of ramen. When Akemi picked up her chopsticks the sleeves of her kimono fell back revealing a black tattoo on the inside of her arm a couple inches above her wrist. It was a cluster of various kanji surrounded by a ring of more kanji. Naruto recognized it immediately as a seal.
"What's that for?"
Akemi glanced at the tattoo.
"If I told you I'd have to kill you."
Naruto wasn't sure if she was kidding or not. Soon enough Naruto and Akemi were walking home.
"So all you can remember is that you were hated for your blood line limit?"
Akemi nodded.
"Does that have to do with that seal on your arm?"
Akemi shook her head.
"Then what is it? I've come across a lot of seals and I've never seen anything like that."
"I got it sometime ago."
Naruto frowned at her cryptic words.
"You're not one for giving information are you?"
"Is any ninja supposed to give information away freely?"
Naruto laughed stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"I guess not."
Naruto paused giving a mischievous smile.
"You want to spar?"
Akemi raised an eyebrow.
"A spar?"
"Yeah. Let's see how you fare against the future Hokage."
"If you're the next Hokage I feel bad for this village."
Naruto scoffed.
"People always underestimate me. I'm not called Konoha's Second Yellow Flash for nothing."
Akemi sighed.
"Fine. Only rules are no permanent damage."
Naruto grinned.
"Follow me."
Akemi looked around the large area. There were a lot of trees and a large lake. Off to the side were three posts.
"This is training ground seven. It holds a lot of memories for me."
Naruto slid into a fighting stance.
"Ready?"
Akemi followed suit into her own stance.
"Ready."
In a flash Naruto was in front of Akemi going for a roundhouse kick. Akemi ducked throwing a couple shurikin. Naruto dodged watching them hit a tree. He looked at Akemi who was running through some hand seals.
"Water style: Raging hurricane!"
Water rose from the lake rushing towards Naruto. Naruto ran through his own seals.
"Fire Style: Fire Ball jutsu!"
A large ball of fire hit the wall of water creating steam that enveloped the area.
Naruto closed his eyes concentrating on his hearing. He heard running to his left and when he turned to block he found himself facing a large white tiger.
"What the hell!"
Naruto flashed out of the way. Slowly the steam dissipated revealing a smirking Akemi. Naruto looked around. He was surrounded by cats. Prowling in a circle around Naruto were four large cats. There was a white tiger, a sandy colored lioness, a black panther, and a cheetah.
"Give up Naruto. You're surrounded. One move and they'll pounce."
"You have a summoning contract?"
Akemi nodded.
"Exotic cats."
Naruto closed his eyes trying to think of a solution to this. Naruto smirked before twenty Narutos appeared attacking the large cats.
Akemi looked surprised as Naruto charged at her. Akemi placed her hands on the ground and watched as ice spread from her fingertips. Naruto hit the frozen water sliding across the path. Akemi formed small ice needles shooting them at Naruto. Doing an awkward slide he barely dodged. Akemi frowned walking across the ice with no problem.
"You said you wanted to see my seal?"
Akemi but her thumb running blood over the black seal with a cloud of smoke Akemi held a long pure white blade.
"You do kenjutsu?"
Akemi slid into an unfamiliar stance.
"Dance of Aphrodite."
Akemi flipped the sword so that the sharp end aimed away from Naruto before going through a graceful set of moves attacking Naruto. He flashed away slipping on the ice. He wasn't much for sword fighting. He created more shadow clones running towards Akemi with a weakened rasengan. If he could slide through an opening he could get a hit in. One moment they were charging and the next Naruto had Akemi pinned to the ground, a swirling rasengan just above her chest.
"Dead."
Akemi scowled shoving him off.
"If I was going all out I'd have won."
"If I went all out this terrain would have been destroyed."
Akemi stared at Naruto trying to figure out if he was serious. She was surprised to find no humor in his expression. He really was that strong.
"I guess you'll make a better Hokage than I thought."
Naruto gave a bright smile.
Akemi looked at Naruto as if analyzing him.
"You're acting different from when I first met you."
Naruto cocked his head to the side.
"What do you mean?"
Akemi shrugged.
"You're nicer."
Naruto shrugged it off as the left the training field. Neither of them noticed a shadowed figure watching them from the trees.
So, I'm not an action writer really. So the fight scenes in this aren't that great. I'm focusing more on the romance side of it. Anyway, please review. I'd really appreciate feedback on my writing.
