Kiri's Susanoo
Chapter 8
The starting of a story
(Ok guys I think I lost my Beta reader lol so, all the bashing will soon begin again YAY!!!! But for all my loyal fans and readers enjoy! Also I have been working on Naruto Kouji XD)
Yagura walked through the halls of his mansion and came to a stop outside Aimi's room.
"Hello?" he said while knocking on the door only to hear some stumbling from in the room before the door cracked open. Aimi smiled through the crack at the Mizukage earning a small blush from the man. "A-Are you guys ready? Our guests should be here soon and the kitchen is waiting for you" Yagura said in a stutter.
"We're coming Yagura-Kun" Mei's voice yelled from inside the room "Aimi's still in her bath towel because she can't figure out what to wear"
The blush on Yagura's face only grew brighter as he turned his back quickly "Oh umm I apologize" He said loudly before hearing a giggle from the young women. Aimi's face was just as blushed as his as she slowly closed the door.
"we will be ready soon Yagura-Kun go greet them, you said they had a young boy with them so I've gotta make sure Mei looks extra cute" Aimi said earning a frustrated squeal from the young girl. Yagura simply smiled and walked away from the room. His hands slid into his pockets as he walked with his head tilted back slightly. For so long an image was stuck in his mind and he didn't know what to do with it, or better yet how to approach it. Yagura paused in the hallway while closing his eyes. He could see Aimi smiling at him as he stared into he beautiful eyes.
"I think I'm starting to understand" He said out loud in a soft content tone. He continued on down the hallway with the same smirk on his face. "But that still doesn't explain how I approach it"
Naruto heard his stomach growl as he sat at the table in agony.
"Someone's hungry" a voice called from the door. He looked to see Yagura smirking at them all as they sat in there chairs.
"He's not the only one" Haruo said in a miserable tone as his stomach screamed almost as loud as Naruto's. Kushina let out a sigh of embarrassment while rubbing her head.
"You see what I have been dealing with Yagura" She stated earning a toothy grin from both the starving buffoons. "I swear dad your more of a child then Naruto"
"Hey!" Haruo said in a hurt tone "Its not my fault he got His dad and grandfathers good traits and none of his mothers" the old man said with a sly look on his face. Kushina's eyebrow twitched as she glared daggers at the old geezer only to see him smirk and chuckle along with Naruto who found it all amusing. Yagura simply watched how the family behaved and laughed silently to himself…
"Sorry I'm Late Yagura-Kun" A loud voice called from behind them all. Everyone's eye shifted to see a crimson haired girl in a black and crimson Kimono with Crimson petals swirling through the fabric matching the flower behind her ear. Naruto's eye locked onto the girl and a huge lump seemed to form in his throat. Kushina noticed this and raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
"My name is Mei Terumi it's a pleasure to meet you all" She said while bowing. Kushina smirked at her manners and noted that she must have been raised very well.
"Please Mei-San there is no need for such manners" Haruo said smiling over at the young girl. She raised her head slightly blushing and turned to Yagura who simply nodded.
"He is right, its alright to be yourself around them. Trust me when I say, they will do the same" Yagura explained earning a toothy grin from Haruo.
"Your already getting to know us" Kushina said while looking at Yagura "young lady my name is Kushina Uzu, This is my father Haruo Uzu and this is my son" She paused noticing the girls eyes shift towards the blond and stop suddenly. "Naruto Uzu"
Naruto simply continued to look into the young girls eyes while stumbling across things to say in his head… 'Say something Naruto' he said while mentally kicking himself.
"uhmm" he mumbled while raising a finger to his cheek and scratching slightly… "Nice to meet you Mei-San"
"Wow smooth kid" Haruo mumbled only to see the blond throw a glare towards the man that rivaled that of his mothers. Mei chuckled earning Naruto's attention quickly.
"you remind me of someone" She said taking a step towards him. "I met a boy a few years ago who saved my life, He was from Konoha and his name was also Naruto"
"R-Really?" Naruto stuttered and diverted his eyes.
"Uh-hmm" She said while nodding her head "He also had blond hair not as long as yours but his eyes where the exact same sapphire blue as yours…"
Haruo looked to Yagura who seemed to be fumbling over if he should interrupt or not.
"I'm sure he wasn't nearly as ugly though" Haruo said earning a chuckle from the girl and a sigh of relief from Yagura.
"No not at all, he was actually cute" She mumbled while turning away only to hear a loud outburst from the blond.
"You thought I was cute!" He yelled only to soon cover his mouth.
"I Knew it!" she said turning quickly "Yagura! What's going on!"
Yagura started rubbing his ears while groaning in frustration. It was supposed to be a nice afternoon and dinner…
"Mei" another voice called out. They looked to see Aimi along with several other's carrying plates and bowls of steaming food. "I'm sure they will explain everything later, lets not be rude, our guests must be starving and besides… If this is the boy that saved you all those years ago I'm sure you two have a lot of catching up to do"
Naruto blushed slightly until his mind was overloaded by the aroma of delicious smelling food. At the same time he and Haruo's stomach's let out a roar that rivaled Naruto's loudest shout… Everyone seemed to laugh as they stared down at the food before them. Mei plopped down in a chair next to Naruto snapping him out of his daze.
"You msut be the Aimi I've heard so much about" Kushina said as the midnight haired women sat next to Yagura. She blushed slightly as Kushina continued "Yagura says you're a great cook and wonderful person"
Yagura's face lit up as he looked down.
"H-He talks about me?" Aimi said earning a nod from both Kushina and Haruo.
"Not only you but the Mei-San as well" Haruo said smiling "You both seem to be very special to him"
Mei simply smiled while looking over to the blushing Mizukage. "Yagura-Kun's a softy" She said before looking over to Naruto. Mei seemed to block out what the others where saying as she looked over to Naruto.
"So why didn't you just tell me last night it was you" she asked only to see him shrug.
"I didn't know if I was allowed to let you know, you may not know this but Naruto Uzumaki's been dead for a long time now" She said only to see her glare at him slightly.
"I may not know? Are you serious. I saw the hokage's face when Yagura-Kun stopped the search for you" She mumbled while looking down at her food "I didn't really know who you where, and I still don't but that didn't matter… It was because of you that I was alive and…" she paused as a small blush formed on her face…
"and?" Naruto asked.
Mei sat there for a second before taking a bit of her food and ignoring the blond.
"hey" Naruto said trying to get her attention but she said nothing… "HEY!" he yelled
"WHAT!" she yelled back "I'm trying to eat!"
Naruto seemed to tense up as she glared at him slightly, was it something he had said? "You just stopped mid sentence… that's not very polite you know" he mumbled know noticing the adults listening in on them.
"Well Haruo said I should be myself, so I am… besides its rude to pry" she said earning a laugh from Haruo as he took a bit of his food.
"This girls good, she might be better at arguing then even you Kushina" Haruo howled only to see Yagura and Aimi's heads drop.
"You have know idea…" they said together.
The group eat there meals while laughing and talking. Naruto was surprised she hadn't asked him about what had happened to him but was glad she hadn't yet… He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of them and knew Haruo would turn it all into a joke if he got the chance.
"Ahh" Haruo sighed while rubbing his stomach. "That was great Aimi-Chan you're an amazing cook"
"Thank you" She smiled while grabbing the plates only to see Kushina stand to help. "Oh you don't" Aimi tried to protest but saw her shake her head.
"Nope I'm helping besides while we are cleaning up I can tell you everyone Yagura was saying about you" She laughed earning a smirk from the women. Yagura's head hit the table as he blushed uncontrollably and cursed the women mentally.
Haruo noticed Mei glare over at Naruto with a slight blush on her face as he leaned back in his chair and stretch.
"Hey Yagura what do you say we go help them, who knows what lies Kushina will tell Aimi" Haruo mumbled. Yagura raised his head to see the same thing the older man saw and smirked slightly.
"Sure, you two wait here or Mei you can show Naruto around if you like. Show him your garden sometime I'm sure he'd like it" Yagura said earning a nod from the girl as they walk away.
The two sat in silence until finally Naruto stood in his chair and turned to leave…
"So what happened to you?" Mei said stopping him in his tracks "You clearly didn't die. So why didn't you go back to Konoha?"
Naruto stood silent looking at the ceiling. Mei noticed his eyes narrow as his mind seemed to race with thoughts…
"Why go back to a place where everyone hated me…" Naruto's words where filled with what seemed like anger as he kept his back turned to the girl. "Look Mei… in my mind you're the only friend I have that's my age… and this is only my first day here so" Naruto paused while looking back to the girl and flashing a smile at her "Lets save the life long story's for another time, I wouldn't want to ruin your makeup with tears"
Mei smirked at the blond as he placed his hands behind his back "What makes you think I cry? And who said we where friends"
Naruto laughed "oh? Well then I guess there's no reason for me to tell you anything… ever" he said walking away. Mei let out a growl while standing and running after him.
"I was kidding you idiot!"
2 Months later
Naruto panted while standing across from the Yagura who stood holding his staff. "Your movements are sloppy and to slow Naruto, flow with your weapon… Remember its part of who you are"
"Its not my fault Mei gets in my way" Naruto said smirking only to feel a fist slam over his head.
"yea right! Its not my fault you keep swinging your pole around like a mad man!" She yelled
"I was kidding!" Naruto yelled back but soon noticed Yagura vanish… 'Shit' Naruto mumbled while pushing Mei out of the way and planting his feet holding his spear up. Yagura came crashing down with incredible force pushing Naruto to his knee's. the blond wasted no time and dropped to his back and with all his strength swiped the legs from underneath the Mizukage. Naruto watched as the man began falling down towards him and smirked while raising his knee. Yagura noticed this and smirked while slamming his staff next to Naruto's head stopping himself in mid fall and leaving a shocked look on Naruto's face.
"Like I said" Yagura mumbled "Its part of who you are, You fight well on your own Naruto but in a group your sloppy, Mei is the same way which is why you both need to lean the term known as team work. Your both top of your class in the academy but it takes more then books smarts and cool moves to stay alive… Do you both want to end up dead?" Yagura's tone seemed dark as he glared at the two children. In his hands was his strange staff which Mei had never seen before up until last month… HE was like a totally different person when he held the weapon in his hands.
"Hell no" Naruto mumbled while twirling his weapon in his palm "I'm never going to die"
Mei watched as Naruto vanished in a blur and appeared above Yagura with a loud shout. His weapon was held high over his head as he arched his back and charged it with Chakra before crashing it down into Yagura's staff. A shockwave of Chakra seemed to shoot from both there weapons as the Mizukage smiled at the boy.
"You still don't understand Naruto…" Yagura mumbled "If you fight alone, you'll be dead in no time".
"he's not fighting alone!" Mei's voice came from behind Yagura shocking his slightly. He looked back to see the young girl already on him with the tip of her dagger pocking the bottom of his spin. "I think that's check mate Yagura-Kun" She mused. Naruto landed on the ground smiling brightly and scratching the back of his head.
"Well I guess your starting to understand teamwork… but Naruto you need to start thinking of your weapon as more then just that. Think of it as a companion, another person standing with you on the battle field. When you do that child, you'll never be alone even when your completely alone without Me, Mei and your mother… You'll still have it to count on" Yagura said while looking at Naruto. The blond looked down to his midnight weapon and felt his head grow heavy…
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!" he yelled while rubbing his head. Mei giggled slightly as the blond complained only to see Yagura let out a sigh.
"Once you come up with a name for the weapon Naruto, you will know what I'm talking about" he said silencing Naruto's complaints. The blond looked at the Mizukage weapon with curiosity.
"What's your weapons name Yagura?" Naruto asked only to see his shoulders tense slightly. The gaze of the Mizukage fell down to the staff and grew wide as he looked at his.
'Blood' he said to himself while looking to the weapon. Blood seemed to cover his hands and almost every inch of the long staff. 'W-When did I' Yagura mumbled while looking up to Mei to see blood slowly sliding from a wound across her throat. A tear fell from his eye as he took a step towards the girl only to hear a loud shout come from his right.
"Mei!" Naruto yelled while diving towards her and pulling her out of the way. They watched as Yagura's eye began to shine brightly. Naruto stood in front of the girl with his weapon in hand…
'Something's not right' Naruto said as Yagura's grip around his weapon grew tighter and tighter as he looked down at it.
"Yagura!" Mei yelled at the man as he let out a slow growl, but nothing got through to the man… Naruto watched him therally and final nothing his hand wasn't tightening around the staff… but was struggling to let go…
"Yagura! LET GO OF IT!" Naruto yelled while sliding the sheath from the end of his weapon placing it in a halberd state.
"Naruto what are you doing?" Mei asked only to see the blade of his weapon starting to let off a blue glow.
"You can't feel that?" Naruto said while looking back to Mei only to see her eyes grow wide. Naruto managed to see his own reflection in her eyes and caught a glimpse of his… eyes…
'Crimson?' Naruto mumbled in shock while looking back to Yagura to see a dark Chakra forming around his body. It was like it was calling to the blond as he stood silent. His body grew tenser and tenser by the second until he heard a thud from behind him. He turned to see Mei on the ground motionless and then felt a hole other level of Chakra crash over his body… He looked to see the scare leading down from Yagura's eye slowly starting to rip…
"H-He's like me…" Naruto said while tightening his grip around his weapon "YAGURA!" Naruto yelled while forcing his limbs to move. He flipped the dull side of his lade around and watched as Yagura turned to look at him. His eyes grew wide at what he was seeing…
'Yagura!!!' a roar filled his ears as he watched a crimson fox which was drenched in blood diving towards him with burning eyes… 'This is… the Kyuubi' Yagura mumbled before feeling something collide with back of his neck… and forced his world to go dark…
"Hurry!" a voice yelled our in front of Kushina. Ao was in a panic as part of the seal on his earring continued to glow… but he wouldn't tell her anything.
'Please be alright, Naruto'
Naruto fell to his knee's panting for air as he felt the howling from inside him slowly fade away. He looked down to Yagura's weapon and kicked it away from the man who laid limp on the ground. Naruto's attention then turned to Mei who laid unconscious behind him. He stood only to feel his body throb in pain… pain's shooting from his stomach to be exact. He dropped his weapon and fell next to Mei who was shaking… Naruto pulled the girl into his lap and let out a sigh. He gently slapped her cheek to try and wake her and after a few slaps he was successful.
'Wha' She mumbled only to see Naruto's sapphire eyes and his goofy smile.
"To think the scariest women I know besides my mom would pass out over a little Chakra pressure…" Naruto said only to see a tear form in her eyes.
"T-That wasn't Chak-Chakra pressure" She said softly while closing her eyes… As he closed her eyes she remembered her mother… and Father… And Aimi…
"I-I've never felt so much Intent to Kill" She whispered while opening her eyes again "Coming from the both of you"
Naruto's froze instantly as another throbbing pain shot from his stomach and through his body… He let out a painful grunt before falling backwards onto the ground. His hand gripped his shirt as he bit down on his lip draw blood…
"Naruto!?" Mei yelled while getting off his lap. She saw his hand gripping his stomach as if he was injured and slowly pulled his hands back before pulling his shirt up…
"D-Don't Mei" Naruto mumbled looking up at her.
"Let me see I might be able to hel-" Mei stopped as she looked down at a pulsing seal… Her eyes looked over and met Naruto's as he tensed in pain. "T-This is"
"A Seal" another voice called from behind them. Mei looked to see what looked like snake eyes in the darkness and went numb as they glared at her. "Very interesting…" the voice said before the eyes began to slowly close "Looks like my travels where not for nothing"
Mei watched as a white snaps head pocked from the darkness. Naruto sat up still in pain and put a hand in front of her only to see the yellow eyes fly open and two Kunia slam into there foreheads.
