The Nameless Light Chapter 3, a naruto fanfic

Half-Edited, hopefully not too bad

Chapter Three

"Uh, just saying, it was all Sasuke! He stole those drawings from me, it wasn't my choice to put them up!" Akari yells, diving for the open door. Sasuke, insulted at her throwing him under the bus, catches her ankle and throws her further in the house, accidentally moving Naruto in closer to the Jonin as well. Naruto shoves Akari off of him, and they all three scrabble towards the door, sabotaging each other's attempts.

"She drew them though!" Sasuke yells, kicking Akari in the face to reach the door, only to collapse as Akari grabs his right thigh and shoves chakra into the seal, adding 200 kg to the weight weighing his body down. Kakashi watches the struggle, amused. Kakashi is curious as to why they didn't throw Naruto under the bus.

As if reading his thoughts, both Akari and Sasuke yell in unison, "Naruto came up with the prank! Get him!" Then Akari realizes something, jumping up with the other two.

"Fuinjutsu can do that?" He yells. Akari nods happily, grinning ferally.

"The only reason he's even in the house on non-randomly-placed-couch #1 is because I put him in the guest list. You two are on the owner list, making you able to move and touch stuff, including the seals themselves." Kakashi's eye widens in surprise.

"You did all that? I thought there was a security seal on your fridge," He comments. Akari nods, grinning.

"That too. Otherwise Naruto and I would eat all the stuff in the fridge. Only Sasuke has access to it, and I can't even mess with the seal."

A second passes by in silence. Two seconds. Three. Four.

All of a sudden Naruto and Akari are in the corner, a depression cloud hovering over them as they both start cultivating mushrooms in the corner, murmuring about how unfair life is. Kakashi raises his eyebrow, looking to see Sasuke exuding a smug aura.

Someone knocks on the door, and since Naruto and Akari are busy creating mushrooms for dinner, Sasuke answers it, opening the door.

A second passes by in silence. Two seconds. Three. Four.

Sasuke closes the door, deciding to make dinner early… In the safe room that Akari created a year ago. Dinner at one pm isn't too early, is it? No, he decides, it isn't. "Hn, good luck, losers. I'm making dinner, it'll take a while, so I'm starting now." Akari looks up, confused.

"But who's at the door?" He doesn't answer, and Kakashi, who saw who it was, poofs away. Akari stand up and opens the door.

A second passes by in silence. Two seconds. Three. Four.

Akari shuts the door, and decides to deliver the mushrooms to Sasuke. "Naruto, someone's at the door. Can you answer it? I'll deliver the mushrooms to Sasuke." Akari says calmly. Naruto looks up, confused. Didn't they both just open the door? Deciding it's unimportant, he shrugs and agrees.

Oh how he wishes he hadn't. At the door was Iruka Umino, their teacher. Seeing two tick marks on his extremely red face, Naruto decides to help Akari deliver the mushrooms. Iruka stops Naruto from closing the door, a million more tick marks appearing on his head.

"NARUTO! SASUKE! UZUMIHA! WHY AREN'T YOU AT SCHOOL RIGHT NOW?! AND WHY ARE ALL THE JONIN WEARING PINK?" Naruto squeaks, and next thing all three of them know, they're tied together with a rope and in front of their entire class.

Each doing the nawanuke jutsu, they all shunshin to the three empty seats in front, where they usually sit. If a purple haired bully and her minions happen to get shoved off of the not-so-empty seats, well. They didn't know anything about it.

Iruka sighs, continuing the lesson on chakra theory. Sasuke smirks. They all already know this. Of course, to get in the same team, they all did their best to fulfill their parts. Sasuke gets top grades, Akari great grades in academics and terrible ones in taijutsu, and Naruto is the deadlast.

They all glance at each other, snickering. In a few minutes, they get bored and Naruto starts throwing a pencil up and catching it. All of a sudden it sticks in the ceiling. All three glance at each other. Shrugging, they all stand up, and walk up the walls to the ceiling. Naruto crouches and grabs his pencil. None of them notice everyone staring at them. They're too busy whispering to each other and snickering.

They are planning a giant prank for the day before the graduation day. Only Akari knows that it's the same that would've happened had she not existed. She frowns at that thought, shunshining to the Hokage's heads along with Naruto and Sasuke.

"I call Hashirama! Asshat, you can get Tobirama. Naru-chan, Ojii-chan and Mina-chan," They all nod at each other seriously, before snickering.

"Tobi-chan-"

"Tobirama! Tobi-chan is someone else, Asshat!" Sasuke rolls his eyes, continuing.

"Tobirama, is going to get a nice 'kick me' sign on his forehead, and rosy cheeks, with the runny makeup look. How about you, dobe?" Naruto gives a foxy grin, pointing at Minato.

"Mina-chan's gonna have cross-eyed too-much-makeup and have 'Icha Icha' on his forehead, and Ojii-chan'll have a bloody nose and pink swirls on his cheeks. Nee-chan?" Akari shrugs, unable to say her idea in words. Naruto and Sasuke know what she means when she does jazz hands. Sasuke grins at her.

"Nee-san, you have an obsession with glitter. Oof!" Sasuke states, only to get a tail to the stomach. He pouts at Akari's pout.

They both pout at each other, Sasuke looking like a kitten and Akari, ironically, looking like a puppy. Akari is a dog person, and prefers dogs over cats, so she uses puppy eyes. Sasuke looks like a kitten no matter what he likes. Unable to keep her pout, Akari starts snickering at the idea of Sasuke with cat ears and a tail.

Neko henges into Sasuke, keeping her tail and ears visible. In Sasuke's voice, she meows, "Look, I'm Sasuke and have kitten attributes! Mew," Akari looking like Sasuke grins when Naruto starts laughing.

"You know, Teme looks kinda cute in kitten ears!" Naruto chokes out, getting a glare from the real Sasuke while Akari poses in girly poses as Sasuke.

"I do, don't I? I'm Sasuke and so kawaii with kitten ears and a tail! Fear the vicious kitten that is Uchiha Sasuke!" They all laughed, poking fun at each other.

Before any of them knew it, graduation day came, along with a shock. "Wait, you mean I'm actually an Uchiha? No, nope." The doctor looks at Akari bemused.

"What do you-" Akari cuts the doctor off, accidentally channeling chakra to her eyes like she does when reading. The doctor gaps at her as she talks.

"Nope. I want nothing to do with Itachi, or Madara, or -fuck no! Uh-uh, I'm not an Uchiha, got it? Yeah? Great! Bye!" The doctor points at her eyes before she shunshins away, grinning at the hokage's faces. Since it was the Troublesome Three that did it, no one could force Naruto, Akari, and Sasuke to clean the faces, and no one besides Kakashi knew it was them anyways. Iruka had his suspicions, but that was easily cancelled when he saw the hero worship that Naruto and Akari openly showed and Sasuke blushed when Akari teased him about how much he likes the troublesome three but could never catch up to them to get an autograph.

Akari shivers, realizing that those words were probably the reason they've been chased by rabid fangirls ever since. Walking in the doors, she realizes she's late.

"Oh, uh, sorry I'm late, Iruka-chan. An old man was bugging me with his problems and I couldn't just leave him there, you see. So I took him to his home," Akari eye smiles, the smile eerily similar to Kakashi's. Naruto speaks up, making Akari blush and Sasuke glare at him.

"Akari! You haven't been stalking Bakashi-chan again, have you?" Iruka sighs at the trio's antics, pushing Akari towards the back where Sasuke and Naruto are.

"Sit down, Uzumiha," Iruka grumbles, glancing at his clipboard. Ignoring the speech Iruka gives, Akari shunshins in the center of Sasuke and Naruto, Sakura being pushed towards Sasuke, who glares at Akari. Akari smirks at him as she yawn and stretches, 'accidentally' pushing Sakura closer to Sasuke.

By the time Iruka called Akari out on her actions, Sakura was basically on Sasuke's lap, blushing. Akari smirks at Sasuke, deciding to tease Naruto now.

"Hey, Naru-chan!" Akari whisper yells, "Hinata is looking at you, you should have lunch with her today, I need to have a uh, serious conversation with Sasuke. It's boring stuff, promise."

Naruto blushes, glancing discreetly at Hinata, who was indeed glancing at him. Their eyes meet and they both quickly look away, blushing harder since they both were already blushing.

"Are you sure? No pranks without me?" Akari nods, grinning lovingly-familial love- at Naruto.

"I would never prank without you, unless it's a prank war between us," Akari swears, hand on her chest. Naruto nods, before his head snaps to the front.

"-ki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura-" Iruka isn't able to continue as both Naruto and Sasuke yell out.

"NO! WHAT ABOUT OUR ONEE?" Akari, being in the middle of that shout, flinches, cat ears flat against her skull. Iruka also flinches. Actually, the entire class flinches.

"Calm down, Uzumiha needs to speak with me during lunch break," Iruka explains, glaring at the two. He continues, the other teams all the same, as far as Akari can tell.

"Okay, Uzumiha. You'll be apprenticed under the same sensei as Team 7 right now, okay?" Iruka states.

"The only difference between having a team and apprenticeship is that in an apprenticeship allows you more freedom to do what you want for training, like going to other Jonin for help, and you'll be able to choose the missions you go on with other genin teams." He finishes off with a nod.

Sasuke walks up to Akari, worried. Akari notes that Sakura is following him. "What are you going to do about the Chunin exams? It requires a 3-man squad." Akari scoffs, glaring at Sasuke. He doesn't notice the swift avoidance of the topic, too worried for Akari.

"Do some team building with Saku-chan, got it? Teach her what I've taught you and Naru, okay?" Sasuke looks at Akari, confusion written on his face like some names are written on the wooden desks.

"Why can't you?" Akari shrugs, glancing at Sakura.

"If she says something ignorant you won't have to take her to a hospital afterwards, I will," Akari states bluntly, pointing at Sakura.

Sasuke rolls his eyes, agreeing silently. Sakura blanches at Akari's words as Sasuke leads her away to go through the quick version of Akari's teachings. Which is basically love your team as if they were your most precious thing ever, get good or you'll hold the team back, and one for all all for one, except it's taught while beating up the subject to show how much they need to improve.

"Maa, why are you on my couch, Neko-chan?" Akari looks up, eyes glimmering and a grin slowly spreading across her face. Akari easily grabs hold of Kakashi's arm, and smirks up at him.

"I'm your apprentice, Bakashi-teme. And you have my squad, so I need to make sure you understand something about them," Akari says solemnly.

Kakashi looks at her curiously. "If they come back from a mission I'm not on with even a scratch not made by their own stupid actions, you're dead. Got it?" Akari finishes cheerfully, accidentally crushing Kakashi's arm with the grip of force. He nods, and she immediately relaxes her grip.

"Good. Now, let's not be late, ne?" Kakashi looks down at Neko, only one thought going through his mind besides the fact that his arm is broken. 'When did she get so strong?'

"Actually, I need to visit the hospital, Neko-chan," He mutters, glancing at his arm. Akari didn't see the glance and scoffs.

"What, were you supposed to go there an hour or two ago?" Akari's hands start to glow a mint green, and she performs a diagnostic jutsu, seeing that she splintered his arm, his mental functions are bad, he has a few-a lot of- minor injuries, and that he is dehydrated.

Healing his arm, she starts scolding him, "You need to start drinking more water or your depression will only grow and your bodily functions might start failing or acting out." She pauses to glare up at him.

"Unbelievable, I know, but ninja can get sick too, if they don't take care of themselves. I can't believe you, jeez! I'm there for what, a few days of your life? And you're already being stupid? Jeez, I didn't think stupidity was that contagious."

Akari starts muttering curses that even the most creative of sailors wouldn't have thought of. Kakashi looks down at her, eyebrow raised.

"Maa, maa. I'm fine. And no, I don't fuck anybody's dead sister… when ridden in idiocy, as you put it." Akari deadpans at Kakashi, easily replying through her concentration.

"So you fuck someone's dead sister when they're not ridden in idiocy?" Kakashi's visible eye widens in shock.

"Uh, no. I don't fuck anyone's dead sister at all-"

"So you fuck their alive sisters?"

"I don't fuck any siste-"

"So you fuck brothers? Ew! Stay the fuck away from my squad-"

"I'm not ga-"

"Ohh, I get it! You're secretly a girl that's a lesbia-"

"I'm a guy! And I've never fucked anyone or thing!"

"..."

"Prove it, Bakashi-teme."

"What? No."

"..."

"You really need to get laid. Life doesn't last forever," Akari finally says after a few minutes of awkward silence, "I would know," Akari mumbles quietly to herself, not intending for Kakashi to hear. Which obviously means that he has to hear exactly what Akari said. Luckily, Kakashi assumes she's talking about her parents and doesn't bring it up.

They both walk towards the academy, Kakashi no longer having a reason to be late while Akari is there to make sure he isn't.

When they arrive everyone besides three Genin are there, and glitter attacks Kakashi as he enters the door, Akari's seal preventing any glitter from even thinking about her. She highfives Naruto and Sasuke, grinning. Her grin falters when she see's a scratch on Sakura.

Only. One.

Akari frowns at Sasuke, who shrugs. "Sakura's weaker than you thought. She burst out crying after the first few sentences, promising me not to be a follower and train as hard as she can. I couldn't even get out the teachings before we had to return. For obvious reasons, I couldn't continue," Sasuke explains, causing killing intent to leak off of Akari.

Only Sakura is affected.

"How useless," Akari growls, tail curling around her leg. Sasuke and Naruto freeze in shock. Their Nee-chan never calls anyone useless, never does anything besides encourage people to become stronger when it came to, well, strength.

So the fact that Akari called Sakura useless meant that Sakura wasn't only physically weak, but mentally weak as well. Kakashi puts a hand on Akari's shoulder. Akari shrugs off his hand, walking up to Sakura.

"Training begins tomorrow at three am," Akari says, "I won't have you be the reason my squad dies. So be ready by then in front of the academy." Sakura shakily nods, and Akari 'burns' away in black flame, disappearing. Sasuke and Naruto glance at each other.

Kakashi notices this, "You both know something," he comments casually. Naruto tenses, before Sasuke nods.

"Yeah. Akari used to be weak and useless, Believe it!" Naruto hesitates.

"Because we sure don't," Sasuke cuts in, "She doesn't like seeing people weak, so she tries to help them. But this..." Sasuke trails off.

"This is the first time she's said anything like that. We don't know why, though." Naruto finishes. Kakashi sighs, telling the three Genin to meet him on the roof. What else could he do?

Akari sighs, looking at her reflection in the lake. She didn't mean to snap. Truly, she didn't! Akari splashes the water, not believing her own thoughts. It's like going back in time when she was even weaker than that. Where she'd cry at the mention of being weak. Where she'd been unable to pick herself up no matter how much she tried.

Sighing again, Akari stands up. She decides to train a jutsu she's trying to create. Going to Safe Haven, she slowly does the hand seals. "Jinsei no Tsubasa!" Slowly, chakra forms behind her in the shape of wings, before she collapses, coughing. The jutsu uses nature chakra, which she can't use. Akari punches the ground. 'That took over an hour! Shit, I almost had it, too. Damnit!'

"Fuck it, Chi no Tsubasa!" Akari stabs herself in the back, blood gushing out and slowly forming the shape of wings, blood rushing in and out of her body, trying to keep up with her body's needs while accommodating for the wings.

Naruto gasps when he see's his sister with blood floating around her body, while Sasuke rushes forward. "Nee-san!" Sasuke yells, breaking Akari's concentration. She spins around, blood needed to keep her alive slopping onto the floor. Before Sasuke could reach her fully, Akari collapses from the lack of blood.

"Nee-san! Nee-san! N-Naruto, get help! Get anybody! Hurry!"

Naruto's eyes widen, and he rushes out into the village, yelling for help. Shinobi and civilians alike ignore him, noticing the Jinchuuriki. Seeing no one paying any attention to him, he rushes to the hospital. Going to the front desk, a civilian looks up in hatred.

"What do you want, demon?" She hisses.

"My Nee-chan! Y-Please help her! She's-she's…!" The woman slaps him.

"Get out of here, demon! Any family member of yours deserves to die!" Naruto whimpers, running out of the hospital. He accidentally runs into a guy in a green jumpsuit. Not recognizing Gai, Naruto latches onto the man, tears streaming down his face.

"The doctors won't help! Help me! My Nee-chan! She's- please! Help me!" Naruto yells, confusing Gai.

"Woah! Tell me what happen-" Naruto shoves off of him, hysterical at this point.

"There's no time! My Nee-chan's dying! Help!" Naruto tugs Gai, hand shakily slapping his right knee and he literally carries Gai to the Safe Haven, who grabs Kakashi in an attempt to stop, but ends up dragging him along too.

A few seconds later, because Naruto spams Shunshin, they're all in Safe haven, and Gai and Kakashi immediately run to the near-dead Akari's side, Gai having to hold back two horrified kids trying to go to their Nee's side.

Kakashi picks up Akira, running with Gai carrying the other two to the hospital. Minutes from when Akira collapsed, she's in the ICU with four worried, and confused people waiting. Kakashi turns to Sasuke and Naruto, looking laidback even though he wants to torture information from the kids.

"Maa, calm down. She'll be okay. If you tell us what happened, maybe we can help her even more. Who did that? Why was she bleeding out?" Naruto looks at Sasuke, not wanting to be the one to explain it was their fault. Sasuke sighs, clenched fists in his pockets.

"She was testing out a jutsu that included her blood, I think. And we distracted her, causing her to lose control and the blood fell and she-"

Sasuke looks down, "I didn't think when I saw the blood and it's all my fault and I'm sorry an-" Sasuke disappears in a bout of black flame, going to Ghost Town so no one would see him cry. Naruto looks down, fists visibly clenched. He stopped crying soon after he grabbed Gai.

Kakashi looks at the pages of his precious Icha Icha, thinking over the information. Why would a 12 year old be doing such dangerous jutsu? He'll have to keep an eye on her more, if she survives. He frowns at the pessimistic thought, not trying to take it back. 'It's true, she might not survive through this.' Kakashi thinks back to their interactions.

"If they come back from a mission I'm not on with even a scratch not made by their own stupid actions, you're dead. Got it?" She looks up at him, determination shining in her eyes. He looks into them, noting how much life is behind the once-dead eyes.

"Ha! He can't attack us in this house! I have a fuinjutsu seal that'll give him a giant-ass shock if he gets within arm length of us with ill intent, and will knock him out if he attacks us." Neko looks at him with mirth dancing in her eyes, so lively when they glance back at her proclaimed younger brothers. He chuckles silently, thinking that maybe the last Uchiha and the Jinchuuriki are good for her.

"Ah, and I was hoping you didn't see them," She says despairingly, eyes slightly glimmering down at the kid. Kakashi looks at the kid, wondering how he brought even a small bit of life to Neko's eyes. "Oh well, what's been seen has been seen. I am your long-lost dead sister who has come back to haunt you, Sasu-asshat!" She exclaims, smile for once reaching her eyes.

"MWAHAHAHA, BOW BEFORE ME MY UNDERLINGS!" She grins down at the people on the ground, eyes dull and lifeless as if she isn't truly enjoying anything. When he grabbed her arm, she turned those lifeless eyes on him, acting as a kid would if they got caught at first.

"Really? I can go to the academy? Yes!" Akari dances around, a grin on her face. He looks at her in confusion. Her eyes are dull and lifeless still. Why is she faking her reaction?

"What the hell is 'attention'? Like, what kanji or hiragana is it?" Kakashi looks down at her, seeing the dull eyes staring directly at him. She looks determined, but her eyes seem like they've seen everything good and bad in the world and have given up on living. How could a kid of no older than seven have eyes like that?

"Henge! Daddy, daddy! Can I try on your headband, pleeease?" The now grey spiky haired and dark grey eyed masked girl wearing dark blue clothes asks excitedly, jumping up and down. He looks in her eyes and hesitates, shivers going up his spine as he see's eyes duller than any other's he's seen. How do those eyes belong to a kid? Especially one so young and in peacetime.

Kakashi blinks the memories away, and the tears. Something got in his eye when he was recalling memories about Neko. He hopes she'll be okay. Kakashi looks at Naruto, who was looking at a miniature fox sculpture.

Naruto looks at the fox sculpture that Nee-chan made for him on his first birthday that they were friends.

"What's this?" Teme's sister eye smiled at him, cat tail flicking lazily back and forth.

"It's your birthday present, of course! You are officially a part of my squad. Uh," Naruto looked up from the wooden figure to see Teme's sister was looking to the side, "You can move in with us, if you want. It'll be like a permanent sleepover for the three of us!" She suggested, sheepishly rubbing the back of her head.

Naruto's eyes widened and he gaped at her. She looked worried for a moment before he responded. "Yes! I'd love that, believe it! Hahaha! Oh, can I call you Nee-chan?" Naruto looks to the side not unlike Teme's sister did, abashed. Opening his mouth to take it back, he got interrupted by her.

"Of course, Otoutou," Teme- Naruto's sister replies teasingly, grinning at him. Naruto tackles his new Nee-chan to the ground in a hug. Laughing along with her.

Naruto sharply glances up at the door as a weary medic walks out. Noticing the three people staring holes into him, he declares Akari safe to be taken out of ICU, but she can't be visited by anyone besides family yet.
