I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!
Believe it or not, I felt like reposting this. Something tells me that I'll be doing a lot of that lately, seeing as I want this story to be better. (I have the right to change crap, so sue me) Well...yeah. If this chapter seems different than the last time you looked it over, 'cause probably it is.
Ok, so, summer's here, meaning no homework and some faint time for me to update on this stories.
Oh, and if you don't like this fanfic, DON'T REVIEW!
got it?
Ok
Moving on...
TEXT is thinking
Disclaimers: The only thing I could possibly own is Midori, Jaksa, Hamaru, their sensei, and this whole over done setup. Naruto belongs to Kishimoto-sama and (sadly) VIZ.
Chapter 5
Special Request
Midori sat on the railing of her balcony, waiting for the cursed sun to rise so she could have a life. But with her luck, it would be the one day where it would explode and everyone would be fleeing for their lives before it all ended in a few moments. She stuck an Oreo in her mouth and kept waiting.
It was another damned sleepless night for her. She had, maybe, four hours of sleep. It didn't bother her that much, seeing as they were watching every freaking move she made. Waiting for the right time to jump her and drag her off for her bloodline ability that she couldn't even get to work yet. Which always ticked her off.
Naruto should be dragging his butt around the corner any minute now... Hokage-sama had said later that oh-so-great-day that they were all to report to the Mission Assignment Room the next morning a little after dawn, prepared to leave the village. Obviously, they had gotten something outside of Konoha that they couldn't turn down. WHERE they were going, well, Midori had her suspicions.
The god forsaken light ran over the rooftops and Midori jumped down from the rail and grabbed her Oreos. Showered, dressed, and ate some form of breakfast. Nibbled on the toast in her mouth, she adjusted her arm guards so that they were tight and wrapped against her skin.
"Midori-chan!"
Midori walked to her balcony and looked down. Naruto, half awake, stood there as the toast in Midori's mouth slipped and smacked in the face.
"Sorry Naruto! I'll be down is a second!" She shouted. She ran and grabbed her backpack and rushed out the door.
Naruto grunted as ate the toast that had smacked him in the face. He watched as Midori came threw the doors of her apartment building. Hokage-sama had told him to accompany her to the mission assignment room, seeing as she was still new to Konoha. He didn't think she knew the way there that well just yet.
"Let's go!" Midori said cheerily, as they started walking in the direction of the next mission. Insomniac or not, Naruto wondered how the hell she could be so happy this hour of the morning.
There was only one reason Hokage-sama had made Naruto accompany her to the Mission assignment room, and it wasn't because she didn't know the way. Naruto was the only one stupid enough to fall for his lie, and Midori needed protection when walking alone. It was simple, and it worked. That didn't mean that Midori and Kakashi didn't know what was going on, and Sasuke and Sakura didn't sense something.
Sometime later after waiting for Kakashi...
"There has been a special request made by the Kage of Hidden Rock. I want all of you to go there and deliver the scroll to the Kage." They stood in front of Hokage-sama as he handed Kakashi a scroll.
"I'm not going." Midori said as quickly as lightning
"You have to; you know the land and the way to Hidden Rock as well as Kakashi." Hokage-sama retorted
"Then send Kakashi, and leave me out of this."
"They requested YOU and your current team. You're under no position to say no."
Midori and the Hokage suddenly burst into a shouting match of why and why not Midori should go to Konoha. Her team blinked stupidly at why she was fighting this.
She's just like her mother, she screams and I'm the one who gets yelled at later. Kakashi thought
Kakashi had to end this, and end this now. "Forgive me, Midori." He grabbed her face and made her look into Sharingan for thirty seconds, which knocked her out cold. Kakashi sighed, flung Midori over his shoulder and grabbed her bag.
"WHAT just happened?" Naruto spoke up as Kakashi headed for the door.
"Nothing important, Naruto." Hokage-sama sighed; he didn't want her to leave like that.
"What do you mean not important!" Naruto shouted at Sandaime "Kakashi just knocked her out cold!"
"I'll be expecting a letter of when you arrive to Hidden Rock, Kakashi." Sandaime slouched in his chair, blowing off Naruto.
"Yes Hokage-sama."
They all walked in silence for the most part, seeing as Kakashi had Midori flung over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes. Naruto was trying to find something to say, Sasuke was having a flash back sequence, and Sakura was wondering about the glittering from around Midori's neck.
"Sensei, do ever plan on telling us what the HELL happened when we got this mission?" Naruto asked
"No, actually." Kakashi kept on reading his...questionable material.
"Why not?"
"Because it's really none of your concern." Kakashi flipped the page of his book
Sasuke was not an idiot, that was Naruto's job. He had remembered how the girl had flipped when he showed his Sharingan, and now she unconscious after staring into Kakashi's too long. She had something against Sharingan, whether it be fear or a twisted hatred toward it, she had seen it before. That alone meant that she had met an Uchiha before, or someone who had stole the ability like Kakashi. Now Sasuke's mind was stretching, then there was the possibility that she had come across Itachi, which possibly meant she had an idea of where the hell he could be. This had given Midori some sense value in Sasuke's eyes.
Then a feeling hit Kakashi like a bowling ball being shot out of a cannon. He looked around a bit as Sakura fussed with a map. Some other chakra force was in the trees; strike that, two other chakra forces where in the trees. One was dead set on killing, the other was scared. Could there have been a kidnapping around here? But why were they coming toward his team?
"A left is clearly faster than a right!" Naruto exclaimed as they had come to a fork in the road. Sakura anger started to surface at a rapid rate.
"Naruto, we have to go around a bunch of mountains and caves if we go that way!" Sakura exclaimed Inner Sakura: Going down a river with Sasuke is much more romantic than some spooky caves! Hell yeah!
"But the right only has a river, no bridge!"
"Oh, for cripes sake their both EQUALLY as long, now pick ONE." Midori held her head as she slid from Kakashi's back to the ground. Sakura handed her Midori her backpack. She started heading right. "There are eels in the river and bears in the caves. I think we can deal better with eels better than bears." She groaned inwardly as she shot a glare at Kakashi. "Despite whatever the hell that map says, there is actually a bridge slightly up ahead."
They all followed her, as Midori fought back a headache. Truth be told, she SERIOUSLY did NOT like Sharingan. She rather be slashed with a sword than have to face it. Obviously God hated her, seeing as she had seen it TWICE in the last two weeks. Which meant she was going to have nightmares for a while, which also meant more insomnia. Lots of insomnia.
"Midori-san, what's that?" Sakura caught up to Midori and pointed at her necklace. Midori was very temped to say 'her boobs' until she noticed that her necklace had made its way out from under her shirt.
"Oh, that's the necklace my Dad gave me." A small green square with sliver claws gripping it hung from a thin silver chain. "Pretty, ain't it?"
Sakura nodded Midori hid it back in her shirt. Kakashi suddenly grabbed Midori from behind as he blocked several kunais aimed at her. He whispered something in Midori's ear as two chains wrapped them both and bound them to a tree.
"What the hell!" Midori shouted
"Kakashi-sensei!" Sakura gasped as she turned to face the direction she was headed
"Midori-chan!" Naruto shouted
"Give us the Uchiha and Leikomara, and your Sensei walks away alive." A boy with dark black hair and piercing soulless eyes appeared in front of them with another frail weaker looking boy next to him.
A puff of smoke of where Kakashi was turned into a log as Midori turned into a puddle of water, then Kakashi suddenly appeared behind the two boys, pushed them to the ground and virtually sat on them. "Did you honestly think that was going to work?"
Midori grabbed Naruto's and Sakura's wrists "We're running." She dragged them along for the first few steps before they all ran side by side with her dragging them.
"Midori, who were they?" Naruto asked
Midori stopped, grabbing Naruto's back collar making sure he stopped, as they all saw the two boys in front of them yet again. Kakashi suddenly appeared behind Sakura.
They're better at escaping then I thought.
"You honestly think you can run away from us" The blacked boy grinned "Midori-chan?"
"Meet my old team." Midori said bitterly. "Jaksa and Hamaru. The jerks that screwed up my life."
"Now Midori-chan, your making us sound so bad." Jaksa, the black hair blue eyed screwball, said "..when your the one wanted for murder."
Midori's eyes swelled over in tears. As much as she didn't want to cry, not in front of Jaksa away, the salty water came from her eyes anyways. She looked away, looking for the courage to look them all in the eyes, her own shame masking anything else she was feeling.
"Don't you all know?" Jaksa grinned from ear to ear "Midori's sensei is dead. Our sensei is dead. Your escorting her to Hidden Rock for her execution." He held up a flyer with the words EXECUTION in big bold black letters, Midori's picture on it, denouncing her and date she was to die.
"See why I didn't want to go back?"
Shock pulsed threw Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. Midori's watery eyes locked on to Jaksa and Hamaru, unwilling to look at her other teammates. Guilt stopped her heart as Jaksa said who she had been accused of killing. A cold wind took a bit her skin as it rushed past. God had not been kind to her today.
Yeah, right... Sasuke's thoughts pulsed We're talking about the same Midori here, right? But the flyer...
"Midori-chan..." Sakura looked at Midori, who was looking at the ground in guilt, hold her arm. "Did you really...?"
"It's true, isn't Kakashi?" Midori looked at Kakashi with cold watery eyes "I was forced to come so I could be executed for the damn crime."
"That isn't true!" Naruto shouted back at Jaksa, gritting his teeth and flailing his arms. "No way could Midori-chan kill anyone! She won't die like that!"
Midori gasped as she looked at Naruto. She smiled a little You know, for a village idiot, he really is very kind.
At least Naruto got that part right, by shear dumb luck none the less. Kakashi thought looking at Midori She can't kill anyone, not mentally or physically. The execution part, however...
"Y'know, I've been waiting for this ever since I saw you covered in his blood." Jaksa shook his head, grinning. Midori's eyes widened as Jaksa held out his hand ready to snap his fingers.
"NO!" Midori sprang to life as she leaped forward to stop them. Kakashi disappeared behind them and reappeared behind Jaksa and Hamaru. He forced them to the ground with kunais over both their necks as a white goo appeared around Midori's ankle. She stopped dead in her tracks as she shot a look at team seven.
"Midori-sama!" Hamaru shouted, a sudden show of regret and forgiveness showed "Jaksa, stop! We can't!"
"Die, you traitor." Jaksa looked at Midori, only a few feet from where she was.
"Run!" Midori shouted, she didn't want them to suffer was coming to her.
Underneth Kakashi, Jaksa snapped his fingers, covering Midori in the white goo in an instant. Two dark green wings shot out from Midori's back, and a false darkness covered Midori's mind as waves of thunder wrapped around her.
She hit the ground with a dark, heavy, lifeless'thud'.
Wake up, you stupid girl.
Kumoricon is here is a few months. YAY. I'm going to be 4th Captain Unohana Retsu(sp?) from Bleach. I would have done Choji, but I'll feel like a poser now that Naruto is in English. If you live in Oregon, you should go to Kumoricon. It's the glomping, the cosplaying and the randomness that makes it all worth it.
If your going to Kumoricon, SEE YOU THERE!
Next time on Dragon Summoner:
An old song her mother used to sing haunts her memories and Kakashi's. As Hamaru insists on helping them with Midori's revival, Jaksa is whisked away by the men in feathers. Hamaru leads them to Hidden Rock, learning of more reason of why Midori didn't want to come to Hidden Rock. There was one thing for certain about that place: When she wakes up, she was leaving by one mean or another.
