Plot developement! I don't own Naruto.
"We're escorting this drunk old lady?" Amida questioned and Kita stepped on his foot, they were waiting for Tsunade to finish her poker game to go. Ishi and Hoshi waited politely, but Amida and Kita both were getting antsy.
Amida winced and Kita ran a hand through her hair. "Shut up, she defeated the current Hokage at your age with one finger." Kita warned and Amida's eyes widened before he recovered and rolled his eyes.
Tsunade threw down her card paid her losses and came out groaning, Shizue followed behind her holding an elderly Ton-ton. "Ah Kita, I haven't seen you in years." Tsunade said and smiled slightly. "Finally got a hair cut." She added and Amida chuckled before Kita smacked him.
"So ready to go?" Kita asked and Amida cleared his throat pointing to himself. "Oh yeah my team, Hoshi, Ishi and the brat, Amida." She said rolling her eyes and Tsunade yawned. Kita lead the way out of the gambling town.
Amida kept pace with Kita in the front, Ishi and Hoshi walked in the back. "Seriously though how big are those lady's…" Amida started before Kita slapped a hand over his mouth. He scowled and Kita rubber her hand on her pants.
"Kita are we going to get their by today?" Tsunade asked and Kita paused, checking the sun's position.
"Yeah maybe an hour or so after sunset though." Kita said. They continued on, but it was strange the sun was near set, but they weren't any closer.
Hoshi caught up with Amida and sent him to the back, Amida went glaring at Hoshi, they were some kind of rivals. "Kita-sensei are we in a genjutsu?" He asked cautiously and Kita sent him a look meaning, yes.
"Let's take break." Kita called and they sat down. "Tsunade-sama sit in the center of the clearing please." She younger girl asked. Tsunade rolled her eyes, but did as she was asked. "I'll be right back." Kita added and ran off a short ways.
She masked her charka and waited from a bush watching, Amida and Hoshi were shoving at each other Shizue talking with Tsunade and Ishi hugging her knees to herself. A black smoke flew over the land and Kita inched forward, her eyes burned. "Ishi-chan!" Hoshi screamed and Kita jumped forward as the smoke cleared.
"Kita-sensei, and dark ninja came and kidnapped Ishi-chan." Amida exploded, seeming to blame Kita for it. Kita pivoted, oh she was so screwed.
"Hoshi-kun, Amida get Tsunade back safely now, Shizue you're in-charge of them, I'm retrieving Ishi." Kita said and went of running; charka familiar to Ishi's was ahead along with a wishy-washy kind. Kita skidded to a stop on her knees.
A dark ninja is right, it looked like a shadow. Ishi was blue faced, was he choking her, the girl shiver as she was dropped. The girl looked more freezing then frightened. "You got one, good boy." A man with oil slick hair said and the shadow man seemed to flow into a tattoo the real man had. "You can come out little girl." The man called looking where Kita hid.
Kita stepped out, hand itching towards her kunai pack. "I demand my subordinate back immediately or you will have mine and Konoha's wrath upon you." Kita said and slight chill went over her arms.
"Cocky aren't you, do you even know my name?" He asked and Kita's hand flicked in an involuntary reaction, the man's eyes were covered, but he saw into her, through her. "I'm Hon, the smartest ninja to live." He said and Ishi whimpered.
"I'm the best ninja to live." Kita said confidently. And Hon chuckled lifting up Ishi by the hair. "Put her down!" Kita snapped rushing forward before Hon put a kunai to Ishi's throat.
He smiled as Kita faltered. "Best ninja has shown her weakness, but I guess you can't help it, you're female. The weaker of the species, but the most…" he paused sniffing Ishi, the girl turned more blue like she was in ice-water.
"Please let her go, she has nothing you'd want." Kita said feeling helpless. Hon sighed heavily dropping Ishi, Kita rushed to gather the girl up, but Hon stepped on Ishi's head.
"Give me you, because as I was saying Women have more spirit something I live off of." Hon said and lifted his foot off of Ishi. "This girl lacks spirit to begin with, you though it practically radiates of you." He said and sniffed Kita, she shuddered because it was just too creepy.
"Fine let her go now." Kita said and he kicked Ishi making her roll away. "Ishi." Kita said sharply and the girl looked up eyes hazy. "Run to Konoha now, tell them I'll be fiiiiiine, to you mind not doing that?" Kita snapped smacking Hon away, he was too close for her comfort. "GO." She snapped at the girl.
Ishi stood up wobbly and walked away, Kita vaguely though of how screwed she was. "So where were we?" Hon asked taking her arm. She jerked away glaring and he smiled.
--
Ishi felt sick as she made it into the village and rushed to Hokage tower, she bumped into man, who called her name, but she didn't bother looking back. She made it to the Hokage's office, even though it was near midnight the office had, Tsunade, Amida, Hoshi, and Naruto in it. "Kita-sensei is…" The girl paused to pant.
"Where is she?" Hoshi and Amida asked near jumping on their teammate. They glared at each other before Shikamaru burst in seeming panicked.
"Kita was supposed to be back long before, where is she?" Shikamaru demanded and Tsunade and Naruto blinked, this was out of Shikamaru's character to be angry and demand.
"We don't know." Naruto said guiltily looking to the floor.
"I know." Ishi said tiredly. "She's in the forest about two miles in, fighting a man named Hon, she's in danger she doesn't know what the man does he sucks the will to live." She said and froze, that was probably more words she has ever said in her life.
"Rescue mission?" Amida asked and Naruto shook his head.
"Not for you, Shikamaru get the first jonin you see, and go." Naruto instructed and Shikamaru nodded leaving in a rush. He was out of the building in a near blink of an eye. Sliding to a stop in front of Akamaru and Kiba on top.
"Where's the fire?" Kiba asked grinning.
--
The fire was two miles into the forest, Kita's flaming fists were struggling to even get near Hon, and Kita was performing at maybe half her usual ability. "Tired already best ninja to ever live?" Hon mocked as Kita panted.
Hon's ability made her tired and hopeless. "Stand still." She demanded, he was, but the world was spinning in front of Kita's eyes. Hon chuckled catching her as she fell. She froze feeling him make her freeze. "I SAID STAND STILL!" She shrieked arms flailing.
"Most people wouldn't mind be supported right now." Hon said and she felt her will sucking out of her.
"Let go." She said and he chuckled, but he was sent flying forward, Kita in his arms and she was used to cushion his blow. She moaned.
"The lady said let go, sorry about that Kita." Kiba said on Akamaru and her eyes gazed at him. "Hon, huh? You let a pretty boy like that beat you Kita?" Kiba asked And Hon's shadow man flew from the man's tattoo, but it froze.
"Shikamaru?" Kita asked pushing her self up, but Hon captured her pushing back down.
"Another shadow user?" Hon asked seeming delighted. "Shikamaru, oh Shikaku's brat." Hon said and chuckled.
Shikamaru went blue though no one could see it; Hon's shadow now controlled Shikamaru sucking his energy. "Hey guess what?" Kita said and Hon's head turned to her, her whole arm was aflame and she covered his face with her hand.
Hon screamed throwing Kita into a tree, as she slid down Kiba caught her and left her on Akamaru, she was exhausted barely able to keep her eyes open. "Come on Shikamaru breathe!" Kiba said smacking at the Nara's back.
"You know what you just did?" Hon asked, no one answered. "You just attacked the ruler of Mist." He said and disappeared. Shikamaru panted and turned glaring at Kita.
"What were you doing taking on a enemy by yourself?" He demanded and Kita glared, but didn't move, her arms were around Akamaru's neck for balance. "Why are you so stupid?" He questioned and Kiba put a hand on his shoulder.
"Come on Shikamaru, its like you were worried over her or something." Kiba said and Shikamaru went red, Kiba raised a brow and Shikamaru walked ahead.
Kiba and Akamaru walked side by side out of Shikamaru's hearing range. "Why'd you have to bring him?" Kita asked angrily eyes half closed. Kiba chuckled.
"He brought me, you really need to stop torturing him." Kiba said and Kita looked at him. "You know what I mean, did the same to me when we were dating however briefly." He said and Kita scowled.
"I don't know what you mean, and Shikamaru and I aren't dating." She said rolling her eyes. Akamaru yipped in laughter.
"You're not, oh either way you're always doing things on your own usually things no one could do on their own too, worried me and now Shikamaru's going to get gray hairs." He said laughing and Kita turned away.
--
Naruto's face looked very grave, Mist was a big threat its power had been growing recently and its alliance with Konoha had been weak. "We'll send an apology, but I'm not punishing any of you." He said and Kita scowled, Kiba and Shikamaru seemed okay with it.
"Apologize for self defense, that psycho was the one who attacked a young girl!" Kita protested and Shikamaru glared at her.
"Idiot." He said
"Know it all." She retorted.
"Jerk."
"Tyrant."
"Psycho"
"Lazy ass!"
"Cut it out you two and go to bed." Kiba snapped and Kita elbowed him in the ribs. She and Shikamaru raced for the door shoving at each other.
"Oh crap." Naruto said once by himself.
Return of Kiiiiiiba! Are you excited?
