Konnichi wa!
Kyah! You guys like this story a lot! –ignoring the flamers-
That makes me happy!
And just so all of you know, I have DISABLED anonymous reviewing! So if you want to review, get a penname! XD
I'm sorry for doing that, but getting a penname doesn't take much. You're not even required to post stories.
Oh, and just so you guys now, FLAMERS DON'T MAKE ME CRY! An idiot anonymous reviewer was all like, "and don't blame us just because a flamer made you cry!"
I completely started laughing.
Crying? CRYING? I didn't cry when I got suspended on the last day of school or when my best friend started rumors about me behind my back, so like FUCK I'm going to cry over an asshole who's too cowardly to show his face (and yes, the flamer specified – it was a boy) during a review just because he likes talking down to people and telling them SHIT because he has his own self confidence issues!
And you know what else was funny? He also said that whoever reads Naruto fanfic is a faggot.
I'm just like, "Well, what the FUCK does that make you? A fucking angel? Tsk – PLEASE! Don't flatter yourself!"
-shakes head- That guy was just completely stupid. I still have that review, 'cause I thought it was funny.
And you know what the guy used as his name? 'I like pumkin'.
I'm just like, "Okay – that assures it. You ARE a faggot."
Psh – don't take it out on the writer just 'cause you got problems.
But really people – I don't cry over petty things such as flamers. It's the own dipshit's fault because they're afraid of the backlash both me and the website will give them if they tell me any shit under a penname.
FUCKING COWARDS!
Ahem! Sorry about that! But anyway, idiot flamers make me appreciate all the more those people who love the story! And I apologize to those anonymous reviewers who LIKE the story. You guys will just have to get a penname, but don't worry! XD It's not that hard to do! And you're not required to post stories!
So people – thank you all to everyone who likes the story! My heart goes out to all of you, and fudge for all! –cheers-
Teehee… a new twist in this chapter. One that will be later explained…
In the next chapter.
Haha! Please enjoy!
Wingless Flight
Chapter Four – Winged Appearance
With one final punch, Neji threw Naruto to the ground, watching with a smirk as the blonde slammed into the earth and bounced back up, landing on his back.
Sasuke watched from the sidelines, eyes half-closed and his entire aura lazy and sleepy as he sat, leaning against the tree with legs bent upwards to the sky in front of him. He watched with barely any interest, but enough for you to tell that he was paying attention.
Naruto was up immediately, but Neji had already won, and he went to go get his water bottle, which Sasuke tossed nonchalantly to him.
The blonde growled.
"ARGH! I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME NEJI!" He stormed loudly, as was his way.
The Hyuuga rolled his eyes.
"Please. Next time I might just KILL you," he replied smoothly, making Naruto fly into a rage.
Out of the corner of his eye, Neji saw Sasuke's head perk up, and coal eyes looked towards the trees surrounding the training area. Neji could almost see the small cat ears flicking back and forth as Sasuke blinked and stared into the trees.
He turned to look at the Uchiha.
"What is it?" He asked at Sasuke continued to blink. If Neji looked hard enough, he could nearly see the small cat ear triangles moving impatiently – curiously – trying to pick up any sounds.
Sasuke didn't answer. Neji's eyes narrowed in annoyance.
"Uchiha," he growled.
With a blink, Sasuke looked up at him.
"Hai?" He replied.
"What are you listening to?" Neji asked. Sasuke blinked, and turned his head back to look at the trees.
"Neji… you wanted to know the secret, right?"
Neji's eye twitched.
"I told you we're NOT going out past curfew!" Sasuke pouted slightly at him – barely noticeable except to those who were familiar with his pout.
"Iie! I never said that today! We don't have to now! You're done training for today, yes?"
After a moment of surveying the Uchiha, wondering about the sudden… cheerful… change in demeanor, Neji nodded. Sasuke smiled and pushed himself up.
"Good! Because I'm going to show you something great! But Naruto can't come along!" Neji blinked.
"And why is that, Uchiha?" He asked. Sasuke looked over his shoulder at the Hyuuga, raising a finger to his smiling lips and winking.
"Because he's not you," he replied, making Neji blink and fight to keep his cheeks their natural pale. Then he turned. "Now come on!" Then he turned back to wave at Naruto. "Sayonara, dobe!"
"See ya teme!" The blonde yelled back as he departed as well. "Bye Neji!"
"Ja ne Naruto!" Neji replied. Then he turned and followed Sasuke into the trees.
As they walked, Neji noticed Sasuke turn from slightly bouncy and teasing to quiet and alert, glancing every which way every once and a while.
He's searching for something. Neji thought as he walked behind Sasuke. But what?
Then Sasuke suddenly stopped, head cocked as he listened to something that Neji couldn't pick up. Then he smiled.
"Of course! The river!" Then he leaped into the trees. "C'mon Neji! We must hurry!"
Neji – out of habit – immediately followed suit.
"Where are you going, Uchiha?" He called as Sasuke leapt from branch to branch. Sasuke laughed.
"You'll see!"
Neji's eyes narrowed.
Why do I not like the sound of this?
But he knew there was no way he could stop the Uchiha without harming him, and Tsunade had given him strict orders not to cause any bodily harm to the Uchiha if he could prevent it.
Too bad for Neji. At that moment he had wanted to strangle the Uchiha.
"I couldn't prevent it, Tsunade-sama! My hands just moved on their own!"
Neji had to smirk grimly at that possible excuse. Like hell she would believe that.
They cleared the trees and arrived at the river, which was bubbling and flowing nicely in the springtime.
Sasuke smiled softly. He whistled something strange – a melody Neji had never heard before.
It made the wind fall silent. Neji looked around.
Something strange is going to happen here.
Neji was then nearly thrown off his feet as a powerful gust of wind suddenly rushed through the clearing into his face, and he felt Sasuke's arms wrap around him to keep him stable until the wind blew itself out.
Get off me Uchiha! I don't need your help!
But he knew he did.
When all became quiet again, Sasuke took his arms away from Neji and straightened, staring at something in front of them. Neji took his arms from his head and glanced at the Uchiha before slowly raising his eyes to see what Sasuke saw.
His eyes widened.
A strange, winged serpent made of swirling folds of wind rested in front of them, pearl-colored eyes staring down at them as wings stretched to the sky.
It was translucent – Neji could see the trees behind the serpent, but it was still solid enough to give it a positive form.
Leaves and sand whirled in the confines of the winged serpent's body, its ever shifting body carrying small particles of earth.
But even though Neji was shocked, he still had enough sense to marvel at the beast – it was huge and strangely beautiful, with its wings hanging in the air like fog around its body.
And the thing was HUGE.
Sasuke didn't look surprised in the least. Neji was left speechless.
What on earth IS that thing? A summoning?
"Oh my… do my well-worn eyes fool me?" A voice spoke softly – regally – in Neji's head.
Sasuke smiled. Neji glanced at him. So he can hear it too?
The great wind serpent shifted, stretching its long neck and rolling the muscles in its back.
"Here you are… after so long… is it truly you?"
Sasuke's smile widened.
"I'd like to believe so," he replied to the winged serpent. "Byakkou."
