Whiteicewolf: I do not own Naruto
Recap:
"Guren, are we going to be able to find the others" Yukimaru asked
"Don't worry, Yukimaru, we'll find them" Guren said as she patted Yukimaru on his head
I hope , Guren thought as she patted Yukimaru's head
And now
"Let's try walking around again, and hopefully this time we won't end up where we started" Guren said as she picked up her backpack.
"Okay" Yukimaru replied and then followed after Guren
with Hinata, Haku, Kimimaro, and Ranmaru
The four children were currently traveling through the forest with ease, unlike Guren and Yukimaru.
"Big sis how much farther do we have to go" Ranmaru asked while being carried by Kimimaro
"If we're lucky we'll be out of this forest by tonight" Hinata answered
"But what about Guren and Yukimaru" Ranmaru asked
"I'm sure they're okay" Hinata said while giving a small smile
"And besides, we both know that Guren is stubborn, she won't give up until she meets her goal" Haku said
back with the said pair
I've just about had it with this forest! Guren mentally yelled in her mind as she walked through he forest
"Guren, are you okay" Yukimaru asked
"It's nothing" Guren replied
"Guren, can you slow down, I can't keep up" Yukimaru said as he struggled to keep up with her
"Oh, sorry Yukimaru" Guren said as she slowed down her pace
"Guren" Yukimaru said getting her attention
"Yeah" she replied
"Do you like the white camellias of the red ones?"
"Huh?"
"You know like that one" Yukimaru pointed at her shirt. Guren then noticed that the kimono-like shirt she was wearing had camellias printed on it
"Oh, that. Well I don't really care, it's just a flower to me" Guren said before walking again.
"Oh, that's, a, sha-" Yukimaru collapsed before he could finish his sentence
"YUKIMARU!" Guren yelled as she ran towards Yukimaru
"Yukimaru" Guren put her hand on Yukimaru's forehead. "You're burning up"
"It's cold" Yukimaru said
"I gotta get you somewhere safe, so you can rest" Guren said as she picked up yukimaru and started to carry him to a safe place.
with Hinata, Haku, Kimimaro, and Ranmaru
The four children were currently in a complicated situation.
They were fighting hunter-nin?
"How did we get into this mess" Hinata said as she launched a couple kunai with paper bombs attached to them at a hunter-nin
"Less talking more fighting" Haku said as he threw shuriken
"Water Style: Water Trumpet" Hinata said and launched the jet of water at the hunter-nin effectively knocking him out
"Water Style: Water Whip Jutsu" one of the hunter-nin said making a whip out of water and aiming it at the kids
"Earth Style: Mud Wall" Kimimaro then slammed his hands on the ground making a wall of earth come up effectively shielding them from attack
"Paper shuriken" Hinata yelled as she launched the paper shuriken
"Wind style: Gale Palm" Haku said as he slammed his palms together making a huge gust of wind speeding up the paper shuriken making them hit all of the hunter-nin
"Ranmaru, is the man okay" Haku asked as he ran over to Ranmaru who was currently right next to an injured man.
back with Guren and Yukimaru
Guren and Yukimaru, were resting inside a cave. Well, Yukimaru, was.
"It's cold" Yukimaru said as Guren put blankets on Yukimaru
"Just try to get some rest Yukimaru" Guren replied as she put a wet towel on his forehead.
"I'll try" Yukimaru answered and then went to sleep
"I better make a fire, to keep him warm" Guren then started to make a fire
Later
Guren had finished making the fire and was currently watching over Yukimaru.
Guren was currently holding Yukimaru's hand.
"Mother" Yukimaru said while sleeping causing Guren to squeeze his hand
I'm going to have to tell him, sooner of later, Guren thought as she clutched his hand.
Later
Guren woke up to find that Yukimaru wasn't there.
"Yukimaru" Guren said only to receive no answer
"Yukimaru" she said again, nothing.
She then ran out of the cave to find Yukimaru
"YUKIMARU!" Guren yelled as she ran through the forest.
Is that a flute, Guren thought as she tried to follow the sound. She then came up to a camellia tree with Yukimaru playing a leaf grass whistle.
"Yukimaru" Guren said as she ran up to him
"Hi Guren" Yukimaru replied
"Yukimaru, don't go wondering off like that" Guren said
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to see the camellia flowers" Yukimaru said as he picked up a white camellia blossom
"Yukimaru, why do you like camellias so much" Gureen asked
"The place where my mom and I lived, we used to play in the camellia blossoms" Yukimaru then took out a protective charm that was hanging around his neck.
"My mom gave this to me before she left" Yukimaru said
"She hid me in the camellia bushes and gave it to me and she told me that she would come back later, but she never did" Yukimaru said while tucking the charm back into his clothes
"Oh" Guren said
I'm going to have to tell him, Guren thought then she stuck out her hand and a white camellia blossom landed in her hand. She then started to crystalize the flower.
"Camellias, you like them, right" Guren said
"Well, this one will never wilt, as long as I'm alive" Guren said as she handed him the crystal.
"Thank you" Yukimaru said as he looked at the crystalized flower
"Anyway, isn't this the camellia tree you were sitting at the other day" Guren said while looking at the camellia tree
"Yeah" Yukimaru replied
"Do you know how to get back here" Guren asked
"I think so" Yukimaru answered while looking at the flower
"Come on let's go back to the cave and get out stuff and come back here, okay" Guren said
"Okay" Yukimaru said and followed Guren
Later
Guren and Yukimaru were traveling through the forest again and luckily found the place where they were them and the others were eating and they were currently trying to catch up to them
"Yukimaru" Guren said getting his attention
"Yeah" he replied
"If I were to take away someone you love, would you hate me?" she asked
"Why do you ask" Yukimaru wondered
"Can you answer the question" Guren said avoiding his
"I'd be angry" Guren looked sad for a moment "But I could never hate you" causing Guren to have a look of shock written on her face
"Why? Why wouldn't you be angry with me" she asked
"You're a good person Guren, I know that you would have had a good reason why you did it" Yukimaru answered, then he felt someone pat him on his head, he looked up to see that Guren was patting him
"A lot people can learn a thing or two from you Yukimaru" Guren said while patting his head
"Thanks" Yukimaru said
Later
Guren and Yukimaru were in the cave that Hinata and the others had stayed in last night.
"Guren, how much longer do you think we'll find big sis and the others" he asked
"Well, we might be able to meet them tomorrow, if we're lucky" Guren said as she added more wood to the fire
"I can't wait" Yukimaru smiled
"Get some sleep Yukimaru, we'll go looking for them in the morning" Guren said as Yukimaru yawned
"Good night Guren" Yukimaru said before going to sleep
"Good night
next morning
Guren woke up Yukimaru once the morning came.
"Yukimaru wake up" Guren said as she shook Yukimaru awake
"I'm up" Yukimaru rubbed his eyes
"Here" Guren handed Yukimaru a canteen of water, which Yukimaru greatfully drank
"Thank you" Yukimaru said as he handed her canteen back to her
"I'm going to go out for awhile, so stay here, and wait for me to come back okay" Guren said causing Yukimaru's eyes to widen
'You wait here dear, I'll come back for you'
"Don't go" Yukimaru grabbed Guren's arm
"What's wrong Yukimaru" Guren said as she struggled to get out of Yukimaru's grasp
"My mom, she said the same thing before she left" Yukimaru answered
"Yukimaru, don't worry" Guren said trying to comfort him
"Here" Yukimaru said as he took off the charm he was wearing and handed it to Guren
"B-But, isn't this your mothers" Guren said as she held the charm
"It's okay, I have this one" Yukimaru then took out the crystalized camellia she gave him yesterday.
"Oh, so you want to trade" Guren said as she looked at the charm
"Sure" Yukimaru answered
"Very well, but stay here until I get back, okay" Guren said as she got up
"Okay" Yukimaru replied as he watched Guren leave
With Guren
Guren was currently trying to find the path that Hinata, Haku, Kimimaro, and Ranmaru took.
"I really need to learn some tracking skills" Guren mumbled to herself as she observed the scenery she then found a red camellia bush, and looked at the charm that was hanging around her neck.
"Does he really think that something bad is going to happen to me" Guren said as she looked at the charm before going back to trying to track the others
Later
Yukimaru waited for Guren to return, meanwhile to pass the time he was looking at the crystal.
I hope, Guren's okay, he thought while looking at the crystal
"I'm back"
"Guren" Yukimaru greeted
"I found the trail, that the others took" Guren said as she picked up her backpack
"So we'll be able to catch up to them" Yukimaru said as he ran up to Guren
"Yep" Guren replied and started to walk away with Yukimaru following her
Later
Guren and Yukimaru were currently nearing the end of the forest.
"I hope the others are waiting at the end of the forest" Guren mumbled. Once the two exited the forest they were greeted by a group, but not the group they wanted to meet.
Great, once one of our problems is solved, another pops up, Guren thought as she looked at the group of hunter-nin that was standing in front of her
"Troublesome" Guren said.
back in Konoha
Two pineapple haired males sneezed.
"Troublesome" they both said
"SHIKIMARU, SHIKAKU, GET BACK TO WORK!" Yoshino yelled
"Yes, mam" they replied
back with Guren and Yukimaru
"Are you traveling with the missing-nin" one of the hunter-nin asked
Are they talking about Zabuza, no, it's been months since we've seen him, they couldn't be talking about him, Guren thought
"What are you talking about" Guren lied
"The Rokubi," one of them answered
What are they talking about, Guren thought
"What?" Guren asked
"She doesn't know anything, kill them" the last hunter-nin said
They did not just, then one of the hunter-nin took out a katana
That's it, Guren thought
"Crystal Style: Crimson Fruit" Guren said making a dome of crystal surround Yukimaru
"Guren" yukimaru said
"Stay in there, as long as you're in there, you won't get hurt" Guren explained
"ok"
"It looks like we have a bloodline user here, then she really has to die" the hunter-nin said and charged at Guren who quickly dodged
"Crystal Style: Crystal Hexagonal shuriken" Guren said as she launched the shuriken at the hunter-nin who quickly evaded them
"Water style: Liquid Bullets" One of the hunter nin said and then shot bullets of water at Guren who quickly dodged
"Crystal style: Giant Hexagonal Shuriken" Guren said as she created a gigantic shuriken and threw it at the hunter-nin
"Damn" one of the hunter-nins cursed as the crystal shuriken made a gash along his side
I can't keep this up much longer, Guren thought
"Water style: Water Trumpet" one of the hunter-nin said and shot a jet of water at Guren, who wasn't able to dodge it in time.
"Guren!" Yukimaru yelled
"Damn" Guren cursed
"Water Style: Mouth of the Serpent" the hunter nin said as the jutsu head toward Guren
"Crystal Style: Crimson Fruit" Guren said making a crystal dome form around her, protecting her from the jutsu
I don't have much chakra left, Guren thought
"Water Style: Ripping Torrent" another hunter-nin said as water came crashing towards Guren
"Earth Style: Mud Wall" Guren said as she made a wall of earth shield her from the water.
"Water Style: Water Whip Jutsu" a hunter nin said as he made the whip come at Guren
Damn, I don't have enough chakra for anymore jutsu, Guren thought as she was hit by water whip
"GUREN!" Yukimaru yelled and then saw that the crystal that Guren gave him was starting to crack.
'Camellias, you like them, right'
'Well, this one will never wilt, as long as I'm alive'
"Guren!" Yukimaru yelled as he saw getting hit by the water jutsu. Then Yuimaru saw something in the corner of his eye. It was...
bubbles?
What is that, Yukimaru thought as he saw the bubbles were coming toward the hunter-nin. The strange thing was that the bubbles were very large and seemed to be traveling at very high speed. Then in a split-second the bubbles swallowed all of the hunter-nin and started to turn black and popped leaving no trace of the hunter-nin.
"What the" Guren said as she got up and dispersed the crystal that was protecting Yukimaru.
"Are you alright"
Guren and Yukimaru turned around to see a man with brown hair that was covering the left side of his face and was wearing a kimono and was holding a bubble blower.
"Uh, who are you?" Guren asked
"Guren! Yukimaru!"
"Hinata?" Guren said as she saw Hinata and the others run up to her.
"Big sis" Yukimaru said
"Let me heal your wounds first" Hinata said as she started using her medical ninjutsu
"So who's that guy" Guren said pointing at the man
"I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself sooner, my name is Utakata"
