Chapter Two
No.1 sat in the classroom with Master Iruka. Silence dominated the air as they both stared off in different directions. Master Goki had left with the Hokage, leaving her with whatever this guy was supposed to be to her.
"So...how are you?" Iruka said with a smile. No.1 took her hand off her bent wrist and stared at him.
"Same as everyday." she said in a bored tone.
"Well, how is that? This is the first time I've even heard of this or you so I don't know how it goes."
No. 1 could tell that he didn't have a clue what he was doing and what she was, hence the stuttering and averting eyes. She stood up and flipped her sea green hair over her shoulder. Walking around the room, she made a scene of intimidation.
"I am the fifth Hokage's special little experiment. I am the ultimate ninja. I have spliced genes from every animal and every super human known to man. Including genes that were made just for me. Otherwise, they don't exist."
Iruka nodded as he drank in all of the information. He didn't seem to be too uncomfortable, which pissed No. 1 off. Everyone was scared of her. Everyone.
She circled behind him and played with a poster on the wall. "Once I'm complete, I will replace all the elite ninjas. In other words, if anything goes wrong, your people will be having nightmares about me." she said close to his ear.
"What's wrong with the elite ninja?" Iruka asked.
"There not strong enough. I will be able to take out enemies in less than a day. Your ninjas take more than a day just to track them." she leaned on the desk she previously sat in after making a complete circle around Iruka.
He was about to speak when she cut him off.
"Have you ever noticed that when a ninja gets super powerful, they always want more?"
She paused to let the notion sink in.
"And when that happens, what do they do?" she egged on.
"Train more. Take more tests." Iruka said simply.
"There's only so far anyone can go. And most of your enemies realize this before they even attempt to reach the highest level. So what do they do? They try to destroy everything. They attempt world domination. Or...they try to kill everyone who thought they couldn't or wouldn't accomplish anything. And in the end, it destroys everything they meant to save."
Iruka looked at her with wary eyes. He still wasn't following her point.
She sighed. "I'm supposed to destroy enemies without becoming one myself." she said pointedly.
"Why didn't you say that from the beginning?" he said after cries of realization.
"Usually people get it." she said with a snort. "Or it confuses them. One or the other suites me fine."
Iruka grabbed a pen a paper.
(I really don't care what they use so don't flame it or anything. You have been warned.)
"So, what's your name." he said, poising the pen over the blank sheet.
She stiffened, not expecting the question. "They call me No.1." she said simply, calming down and inspecting her nails.
Iruka cocked and eyebrow. "No.1? You don't have a real name?"
"I had one at one time. But that was before they erased my memory."
The pen clattered to the floor.
"They erased your memory?! You weren't born in a lab?"
No, until nearly two years ago I was ordinary. Just like everybody else."
"...that seems unethical." Iruka said quietly.
"No shit." No. 1 scoffed. She rolled her eyes as the light overhead continuously flashed red.
"Second warning. A restricted word has been used. One more warning before reinforcements will be forced to take action."
The speaker clicked off and the light returned back to it's yellow hue.
Iruka pointed at the ceiling. "Does it always do that?"
No. 1 nodded. "Yep." she sighed. "It's a piece of cra...It's bogus."
Iruka's eyebrow twitched. "You can't say crap?"
No.1's eyes snapped shut and she slapped a hand to her forehead.
As expected the red alarm went off but the computerized voice didn't follow as if confused.
"First warning...a restricted word has been used. Two more warnings before reinforcements will be forced to act."
No. 1 slowly gained composure and stared in shock at the dissipating red alarm.
"What happened?" Iruka asked.
"Were you trying to get me in trouble or something?" No. 1 asked leaning into her chair with a disgusted face.
"What would have happened if it had accepted it as your third warning?"
"Nothing. They used to put me to sleep for days and adjust the speech part of my brain. But it happened that I'd be out of it for weeks for my language so they stopped. But they still don't approve."
"So...if we change up the voices, will it keep on giving us 'first warnings'?" he asked.
"I don't know. Considering a while ago...I suppose."
Iruka's wondering face turned into a huge smirk as he cleared his throat and in a different tone, cursed the surrounding walls.
The red alert went off followed once again by the delayed computerized voice.
"First warning...a restricted word has been used. Two more warnings before reinforcements will be forced to take action.".
No.1 giggled behind her hand
"Damn alarm." she said, altering her voice to a squeakier pitch.
"First warning..."
"I hate you, you son of a bitch." Iruka moaned.
"First warning..."
"Shut up, faggot." No.1 said in a monotone voice, throwing a paper ball at the constant flashing light.
"First warning..."
Iruka was about to spout out his next insult when a clicking was heard at the front of the room.
No.1 automatically stiffened and growled. Iruka only turned around in pure curiosity.
Near the ceiling, the wall was folding away and a camera floated out. The camera clicked as it accessed the room from the main monitoring deck.
"What's that?" he asked.
No.1 sighed. "It's the camera from the main monitoring deck. Apparently, we were getting a little too rowdy and they came to 'assess the situation'." She said, quoting and un-quoting her fingers. "Just stay quiet and it will go away." she finished, adjusting her seat so she could sit up straight. Her eyes focused ahead of her as she pulled back her shoulders and placed her hands in her lap.
The camera finished the adjustments and scanned the room. Everything grew silent and tension rose as the camera continued to sweep the area.
Iruka took No.1's advice and stayed quiet, choosing to stare everywhere except at the roving device.
Seeming satisfied, the camera drifted back into the wall and the tile folded and clinked back into place.
"Is it gone?" Iruka asked, looking at a poster on the opposite wall.
"Yeah." she reclined in the chair.
"So, what was up with the front?" he asked, mimicking her straight back and distant stare.
No.1 lazily pointed toward the absent camera. "They're the ones I have to impress. I started out as an obedient machine and that's how I have to stay.
"Won't people tell on you?" he asked.
She gave him a skeptic look. "Are you?"
He stared at her and then blinked. "...No."
The room grew silent, each contemplating their own thoughts.
"What do you do anyway?" No. 1 asked. She had enough monitors already. She couldn't imagine what else she would need.
"Oh, I'm your dream coordinator and monitor." he said simply.
"What?!" No. 1 yelled, slamming her fist against the desk and standing up. The desk moaned and flexed under her force.
"Is there a problem?" Iruka asked, also standing up. He didn't want to have to calm her sitting down.
"There damn well is!"
She dared the alarm to go off. She would kick it to high heaven if it even squeaked. But surprisingly, the light stayed it's normal yellow color and the room was eerily quiet.
"Don't take it up with me...take it up with Lady Hokage. I'm under her jurisdiction." Iruka said defensively.
No. 1 stared at him. "You're right." and with that she stomped out of the room, cursing all the way.
...
Tsunade rubbed her temples as she watched No. 1 stomp towards her office on the surveillance. She ended up turning the 'Curse Factor' off because she was getting annoyed at the two idiots down below.
"What ever made me hire Iruka for this?"
...
Okay! So that's the second chapter. Emily's going to kill me for not having this out sooner...but it's a pretty long chapter so...
Review, please.
