"Teme."
"Dobe."
"Teme."
"Dobe."
"Teme."
"Dobe."
"Teme."
"Dobe."
"Teme."
"Dobe." Naruto and Sasuke stood up in usion, sending death glares at each other.
Sakura looked back and forth between them. They were on their usual fighting. So nothing was new there. But it was the middle of class and they had a cover teacher. An old woman, who was blabbing on about something, and she was sitting in between two boys fighting.
"SASUKE! NARUTO! Quit your fighting and write!" Yes, the teacher knew their name. Only because this was the third or fourth time this has happened this lesson. Both of them sat back down, not taking their eyes off each other, and then looked down at their papers and began to write.
"Teme." He now muttered.
"Dobe."He muttered back.
"Teme."
"Dobe."
"Teme."
"Would you shut the fuck up?!" Both boys looked at Justin, who sat behind them. Naruto smiled goofily at Fern who didn't even look at him.
"LANGUAGE!" Another high pitched scream from the old hag. To tell you the truth, no one listened to her at all." All three of you DETENTION!" Everyone looked at the teacher before slowly returning to their work.
The bell rang and Naruto grinned and got up. Lunch next, RAMEN! Just as he was going out the door, Justin passed him, his hands in his pockets.
"I know your secret," He whispered. H-He knows? How could he know? "Meet me after school at the gates to settle this. If your giving Fern's heart back you have to go through me. You thought you could do it just like that?" Justin smirked at Naruto's shocked expression and then pushed past him, Fern following him.

Kakashi watched his prey through the trees. They both sat underneath a shady tree. Fern next to Justin.
"Let me see." He told her. She loosened her collar so that he could take out the several braids around her neck. They were multicoloured with different colours. Each one of them. Her clothing normally covered it up so this was the first time that he saw them.
Braids?
They were more like multicoloured pieces of thread. And everyone of them were broken.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They are all broken? How?! No jutsu or kunai can break these! No wonder she can do everything she wants! This is getting out of control...I need to make new ones.
"No wonder you've been having your own thoughts lately. Naruto doesn't help either. Don't worry Fern, I'll get it into his thick head later. Who is he to think that he can return your feelings and memories? He doesn't understand. He doesn't realise what I'm protecting you from by not feeling. You are too wild to remember. That's why you must be controlled. I'll protect you, like I have for all these years."

He knew what they were now, they were special kind of braids. They were very rare and could be used for two purposes. To either weaken the effect of all jutsu's to nothing, protecting the user. Or to control people to a point where they would do and say anything for them. How did Justin get his hands on them? He must be using them on Fern. And as Justin had said, they were unbreakable by any jutsu or kunai. They weren't breakable. But if the legend about Fern is true...then breaking braids must be pipsqueak.
He looked closer at the braids. It looked like he used them for another purpose too. There was another braid around her wrist and ankle. The other braids that hung around her neck were so loose that they curved around her heart before running back up to her neck.

Naruto walked to the outside of school after the bell rang. The news had gotten out of the fight and everyone was crowding around. Sakura and Hinata stood on either side of Fern, who was emotionless. Naruto made his way through the crowd and saw Justin in the middle of the crowd, his hands in his pockets and an arrogant and sly smirk on his face when he saw him. He reminded Naruto of Sasuke, and was surprised to see even he was here to watch.
He didn't want to fight Justin. He was slightly scared of what will happen if he fought him. Definitely down to the hospital. At least.
"You had the guts to come?" His smirk spread further. Naruto glared at him and folded his arms across his chest, pouting.
They began to fight, and Naruto had to admit, Justin was good. He had good strength and speed, basically he was just as good as Sasuke-baka. Naruto found himself failing almost everything as all of the eyes of everyone was on them both.
"I didn't even do anything! Why are you fighting me?" He tried to stop Justin by words. A weak attempt, but it was something.
"I'm protecting both Fern and the world. You don't know what will happen once she gets back her feelings! She will be too wild to control! She looks innocent and forgivable but you don't what she was like before she came to me! I worked so long and so hard to control her and I'm not going to give that all up for some brat's feelings for her!"
Naruto found himself on the ground, unable to move as Justin raised his fist to punch his face.
"He's going to kill him!" Sakura screamed. Sasuke just stuffed his hands in his pockets and gave the famous 'Hn'. After this, he wanted to fight Justin. He proved a worthy opponent. Just about rivalling himself.
Justin's anger caused his mind to pump blue chakra into his hand, and then delivered the last punch into Naruto. But he found that he delivered it into the one person he swore to protect. The braids, which were broken, fell off her bowed head, her eyes shut as his hand stayed in her stomach. Her arms were out horizontally, she had protected him.
