Chapter 8 – Memories

By JUUBI


The knife flew through the air; it seemed to have an invisible sting attached to it as it was aimed so carefully. But, even thought it was perfectly aimed, it did not land in the right place, instead of the head it was the wall behind it, the thrower scowled in frustration.

"Stop moving you bastard!"

"And just let you throw knifes at my head? What do you think?" A swift reply came from the target.

The thrower continued to chase and the target continued to run, agonising the man even more with taunting remarks.

"Die you demon!"

"Where's the demon?"

"Y-You little-" The man was unable to answer, after all the remarks that he has received, he didn't know if he should bother answering them any more.

"You seriously need your eyes checked if you think that an 8 year old kid is a demon, you're the demon now, and you're the one charging at me with knives in your hands."

One of the knifes flew towards the target again this time it managed to slice through the fabric of the boy's clothes, but not managing to actually harm the boy.

"Man, you should just give up, you can't hurt me."

The puffed man looked up at the boy, smirking "I can't, but they can."

The boy turned around realising he was almost surrounded completely, he looked at his choices. He could run, he could bluff, and he could fight them off.

Running was not a good idea since his escape route was now blocked and the enemies he was facing seemed to be armed with sport equipment, like baseball bats and hocky sticks. So he decided to fight, not to kill them but to knock them sense into their heads.

He charged at the strongest, head first, the man gripped his bat, ready to strike, but the boy took a swift turn kicking the weakest of the group under the chin and punched him between his eyes, knocking the man out in a go.

The others seemed to tense up before, the flames appeared in their eyes and they began to roll on the balls of their feet.

"You little bastard, you'll pay for that, and everything else you have done."

The boy tilted his head to the side, in a confused voice he asked, "What have I done to you?"

The others hesitated for a moment, but the boy spoke again, "Go on, tell me a good reason and I'll even let you beat me up."

"Y-You killed our leader!" one of them managed to splutter.

"Oh? And can I ask why you care? You guys were one of the groups that always caused troubles, so why do you care, aren't you guys glad that he's gone so that you guys can have a little more freedom to muck around?"

"Even so, I was once a friend of him, we went to the same school and he understood me, you killed him!"

"Oh? Do you think that he will still consider you a friend after you beat his son up?"

The others didn't hesitate to answer this one, "You're the one that killed him, do even call yourself his son!"

The boy laughed and shook his head, "You don't understand do you? I am his son no matter what you say. But even if you guys do get a chance to beat me up, and my father was still around, he would be kind enough to forgive you. Since you are a friend of my father's, you should know how kind he is and how stubborn he is, you guys' should know that."

A few tears came into the boy's eyes, "If I could just speak to him once again…Do you guys realise how lucky you are? You have family, friends, lovers, what do I have? People who want to kill me, people who don't understand, people who blames me for thing I haven't done. If you guys think that I kill my father and mother, than if you ant, continue. But what is it with blaming me for stealing, graffiti, and other deaths that have nothing to do with me?"

Head still tilted to the side, the eyes of the boy looked questionably at the others, "What's the answer? Am I really a curse? Or are you guys trying to prove to yourselves that I am, making up thing as you go, just to take out all your anger on me since you wont get blamed for it and get away with it with a simple 'don't do it again'?"

The boy paused, "I'm boring you guy's right? I'm sorry about that, please do continue."

The others did not move, they stared, before moving away, the leader looked back over his shoulder, to the boy, "You remind me of him so much, he was always the one giving inspiring speeches, although his were, of course, much longer. See you later brat."

The boy blinked, "Aww, I thought that I could have some company tonight, oh well, I guess I could always go back and get entertainment another night"

They walked away slowly, leaving nothing but a memory and a promise to return and meet again.


Naruto woke with a gasp. He's memories were awakening, bad ones and good ones, but to him, it made no difference. They were all sad.

The things that have happened to him, the few friends that he has left behind, they were coming back haunting him. Naruto groaned, looking at the clock, it was 8:15, meaning he only had 15 minutes to get to school. Not that he cared of course, Uzumaki Naruto is always late anyway, everyday.

"Well, it's another day…" He muttered, getting out of bed and to his bathroom to wash up.

Naruto looked into the mirror, his golden hair falling into his azure eyes; his face was different to when he was little, although his whisker marks were still there. His face was less round and chubby instead it was more masculine although some people do think he looks a bit girlish, he was still handsome. His scrunched up eyes from smiling so much were now normal and, surprisingly bigger than some normal people's eyes. Naruto's hair was much longer and looking and his family photo that was in his locket, his hair was a lot like his fathers, actually, almost all his features were like his fathers except his eyes; Naruto's eyes were the same colour as his mother's. Although Naruto's father's eyes were blue, they were every bright, almost a green, but his mother's were a lighter colour, a beautiful azure.

"COME ON BRAT! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" the voice of Iruka stoped Naruto's thoughts. Although he didn't have anything special for today, not tests or surprise ones, he didn't really have to hurry but he knew that dealing with Kiba asking him why he was late is too annoying so Naruto left after grabbing his bag and his lunch from Iruka.


At school…

"Why are you late this time Uzumaki?" the irritated teacher asked, having to stop right in the middle of her lesson just to yell at Naruto, not that she really cared, it seemed that for the teachers, the new sport right now was yelling at Uzumaki anyway.

"Work" Naruto was too tired to think of a excuse, so he told the truth, although to the teacher it still sounded like an excuse since they thought the knew that Uzumaki Naruto would never work.

"Good excuse brat, get to your seat." Naruto was lucky that this teacher knew Iruka and Kakashi and they were friends so he knew that their kid was a little lazy.

Plopping down on his seat, Naruto dumped his bad and took his books out. "Open you book to page 46 Uzumaki, next time I'm giving you a detention."

Naruto mentally groaned, his detentions were piling up since he didn't know how to organise his schedule to fit in his extra work. He grabbed his book and opened it, not noticing something falling out.

The girl behind him picked the note up; people these days are really nosy. She saw it fall out of Naruto's book but being a nosy kid, she took a peek at it.

Hey Naru-chibi!

I know Yoko told everyone that they could take the day off, and we even planed a party and now we can't drink the cool stuff that Hachi brought that's so sad-

The writing changed, even thought the girl was stupid…well actually, anyone could tell that some one else was writing since the hand writing was obviously much neater…'

Sorry about that, never let Shukaku write a important note. Anyway, since Yoko told everyone that they could take the day off, everyone's going to take the day off, but we have some work to do. Remember the thing Itchy told us about? Well we have to organise that and we need everyone there since Yoko hasn't decided who's going…

Well, please tell everyone to come, I'll give you a list just in case (I know you're lazy).

Shino

Chouji

Sakura

Hinata

Neji

Kiba

Kankuro

Shikamaru

Lee

Gaara

Temari

TenTen

Sasuke

And

Ino

We already have the other's covered, also there are a few older ones that we would like to introduce to you, last time you weren't there when they gathered since you probably slept in or something.

Love

Hoko

Ps. Shukaku's a bit high and Itchy is coming over so you might see a few holes in the walls, but don't worry, we have Nekomata, who can revive the dead!

Like and normal stupid girl, from the love comment, she thought that it was his girl friend and from the list, which had Sakura, Ino and most importantly Sasuke, she thought that it was an important club and she forget to sign up.

RING!

The stoped her stupid thoughts, but she still moved to ask the stupid questions.

"Naruto, I found a note from your girlfriend."

Naruto looked up from his workbook, confused. The girl waved the note in front of his face; not really letting him read it. He blinked.

"So, can you tell me how to sign up for this club, where Sasuke-kun is in? If you don't I'll kill you!" Like any stupid fangirl, the first thing she thought about was her god, namely Sasuke.

Naruto blinked again. "Uh, what club?"

The girl got frustrated and thrust the note into Naruto's hands. He blinked again, reading it quickly. He smiled, finishing the note.

"It's just a note from my friends, it's not that interesting."

She snorted, "Don't you think that you can keep any information about Sasuke-kun from me, I could have been the leader of the Sasuke club, but those two bitches beat me to it. I know Sasuke-kun likes me,, I seen the way he looks at me, if you don't let me into that club, Sasuke-kun won't be happy, he's like totally in love with me." The girl continued to ramble on about how Sasuke-kun loves her and this and that.

Naruto couldn't help but roll his eyes, sure the guy was hot, even he admitted that, but do those fangirls have to go on and on about him? Like, he's not a real god or anything; he's just plain Uchiha Sasuke who was the younger brother of Vampire-san.

Naruto grabbed his bag and left, the girl didn't notice, so she continued, until the cleaner came by the door to tell her to shut up since he's ears were falling off…etc.

"Gaara" Naruto was going around telling everyone about the surprise meeting, ignoring the stares for the other people.

Like every other place, since they were little, these people were sorted into different groups. You know, smarties, loners, cheerleaders, hot guys, so on. It seems that the gang did not belong in one group, people like Ino, Sakura and, surprisingly, Hinata were in the cheerleading/fan club group, Shino and Gaara were in the loners group until they joined Naruto and Kiba, and the other's were separated too.

So since Naruto was going around tell them to meet up after school, made the other people confused, they have never seen them together before and with he going around to people who they thought that he didn't know, it was really confusing to them, But they ignored it, Naruto belonged in the Weirdo group anyway, so him being a little weird was okay. The Weirdo was only made when Naruto and Kiba came to the school anyway, it seemed that they couldn't put Kiba in the loners group since he was pretty much friends with everyone and too hyper.

"Hey Gaara, meet after school out side okay?" Gaara looked at him, waiting for the explanation.

Naruto sighed, "Yoko-nee-chan" Gaara nodded, understanding before going back to his lunch. Gaara sat by him self most of the time; he didn't like communicating with other people, although he did some times sit with the Weirdos, but not always.

Gaara (Tick)

Naruto glanced down at the note again, but this time he noticed something. At the very bottom it said:

Pss. You can ask Kiba or some one to help you if you want, but you'll have to try and gather everyone, if you don't, it won't be my fault if Yoko throws a fit.

Naruto groaned, 'KIBA, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!'


At Biju Base…

"Ah, thank you Naruto for gathering all the kids." Yoko was quite please when everyone arrived.

"Well Naru-chan, we would like you to meet the older members of the gang" she said pointing to the other adults in the room.

"Hey!" a voice exclaimed.

"Oh! And of course, our little make-up specialist! Konohamaru-chan!" Yoko grinned, pushing a little boy in front of her.

Naruto smiled, it was nice of Yoko to ask all of them to come to meet him, but there was something that was wasn't quite right.

"EEH! What are you guys doing here! MUM! DAD!" Naruto exclaimed, surprised.

Kakashi and Iruka scratched the back of their heads sheepishly, "Hey, Naru-chan, don't be mad now, you see daddy was going to tell you but-"

"DON"T YOU TRY MAKE UP EXCUSES YOU PERV!"

"We were part of this gang of a long time now Naruto, no need to get mad, we were going to tell you but you seemed so stressed with all the homework you had." Iruka quickly stepped in to save poor Kakashi.

Naruto sighed; it was too much detail for his brain to manage all this information. He laid down on the couch which already had Yoko, Shukaku and Hachi on it. Shukaku just patted his head and said in a soothing voice.

"It's aright Naru-chibi, I'm sure you can get Itchy to beat them up later, maybe after beating them up he'll lose interest in beating me up…"

Hachi snorted, "I don't think so Otouto, and I think after beating up the whole entire town, he'll still have the energy to smash you into a wall."

Shukaku whimpers as Yoko patted him on the back, "It's alright Otouto, I'm sure he'll do it a little more gently this time, plus you have Neko-chan don't you? You'll be alright."

"I'm right here you know." Itachi interrupted. Yoko just grinned and continued to pat Shukaku's back.

"Let's talk about the mission instead, well, introduce the others later this is more important." Makumori butted in.

"Okay, so Naru, what have you found out about the gangs." Itachi asked, while pulling a blushing Yoko into his lap.

Naruto coughed, seeing his big sister in a Vampire's lap was kind of weird to him, "Well, there are quite a few gangs, most of them don't have really strong influence but there are a few who have a bit more control and muscle."

Mentally, he opened up his note book and started reading the points he had taken down about the gangs.

"There were 2 that had put all their information up on the computer so I hacked in and took it, so I already eliminated 2, they had based their information too much on the net so if some one took it they would pretty much die." The others sat down to listen.

"There are a few with only a little one the computer but I've managed to copy their information, it's on my laptop, and there were 2 more…" Naruto frowned.

"2 of them had lots on the computer but I haven't had time to hack them yet, one had a good lock, but I could probably get through it…"

"Then why didn't you?" Shukaku asked, chomping on a chocolate biscuit.

"There was too much homework."

"Well, what about the other one?"

"Well, I didn't get time to even try to hack it, but I did get to see the name Akatsuki…"


Leave a message if you bothered to read, if not, still leave a massage.
