Kyten stared into space, she was shocked. 'Is this what Akati was talking about?'
Iruka, thinking he did something wrong, pulled away. "S-sorry."
Kyten blushed and blinked. "I-it's ok."
"Are you sure, you look dazed."
"I'm not dazed from the hug, just something that came with the hug."
"What's that?"
"Memory."
Iruka's face lightened up. "You remember me now?"
"Yeah somewhat."
He grinned wider than he's grinned in a long time. "Great!"
Kyten blushed, smiled, then giggled. "Yep!" She said cutely, which caused Iruka to blush deeply.
"So…um…do you want to have lunch?" He shyly asked.
Kyten blinked. "Sure, but no ramen please."
He smirked. "Don't worry I wont jump in your face again. " He stood and held his hand out to her, she took it and he pulled her up.
The two started to a restraint, on their way they passed a person with black hair and brown eyes. Kyten and him locked eyes for a second. Kyten searched for a chakra signature from him, but found none. Letting the thought of him being an attacker go, she and Iruka continued their lunch date.
The stranger Kyten locked eyes with smiled slightly as he watched her walk by. 'This certainly will be interesting.' He thought. He started walking to the Hokage tower.
Kyten and Iruka enjoyed their first date, they ate at a dumbling shop and shared several sticks of them, and had individual bowls or soup. The talked about things that happened in their pasts and their likes and dislikes. Around the end of their date Raido appeared. "Hokage-sama would like to see you two." He said then left.
The two looked at each other then got up and went to the Hokage tower.
Once in the Hokage's office they saw a translator and the person with black hair and brown eyes that they had passes before their dated. Kyten looked at the man confused, he turned and smiled sweetly at her.
"Yes Hokage-sama?" Iruka said.
"I'll tell you when our third person arrives." The 3rd stated.
A few minutes after he said this Akari landed on the window sill behind him. "Yes?" She stated.
"Stand next to your sister and we'll begin."
Akari did as told and stood next to her looked at the stranger.
"Go ahead." The Hokage said looking at the stranger.
"My name is Sento." The man signed with his hands. He is unable to speak so he uses sign language. "I need some escorts to Amegakure, I'm delivering a message to their leader, I gave your Hokage the same message."
"What was the message?" Akari asked.
"That's the Hokage's business, not yours."
"Why do you need three escorts?" Iruka asked.
"The information I have is valuable to all village leaders, many people are trying to kill me, including Akatsuki."
"How did you get here then?"
"Escorts from Suna dropped me off at the gate."
"Sento-san is a high paying customer Iruka, and his information is valuable, please don't question him futher." The Hokage said.
"Sorry Hokage-sama."
"It's fine."
"When well you be ready to leave Sento-san?" Kyten asked.
"Now if you're ready."
The three Shinobi got ready to go, once ready they met up with Sento, then left the village.
"How far away is Amegakure?" Akari said walking backwards, since she was infront.
"3Days run."
Sento signed. "But I have bad asthma, and lost my enhaler so I can't run.""If we walk that'll make it 5 to 7 days." Iruka did the math in his head.
'Ohh smart and quick.' Kyten blushed.
"Yes sorry." Signing Sento yawned.
"We could carry you, that would make it go faster." Akari suggested.
Sento blinked shocked. "I'd rather not have that kind of physical contact." 'Why am I not surprised she said that.' He thought.
"Uh fine." Akari sighed. 'He obviously doesn't have a wife or girlfriend.' "Or you could ride on Haru, my wolf or Yubuki, Kyten's tiger."
"I'm allergic
"To both tigers and wolves?" Kyten raised an eyebrow.
"Anything in the cat and dog family."
Kyten exchanged a glance with Iruka. "Ok then, well let's go."
Sento sighed as they continued walking.
While the group set out the Shinobi still in Kohona prepared for the final stage of the Chunin exams, the participating countries had left for a month to train their remaining participants. Most of them came back a few days before the final exam, but they stayed in their hotel rooms mostly.
Yuri Anoriya had the day off and decided to find someone to play with. When Akari and her are together they're trouble for certain passer byers, some have had paint cans dropped on their heads, others have been tripped by whips or tripped/slipped on glass. But the girls ment no real harm.
Yuri ran around searching for her victim. She came across three Sand Shinobi, also known as the Sand Siblings. She stopped in front of them and grinned widely.
"Can we help you?" Temari asked raiser an eyebrow.
"I don't know can you?" Yuri giggled.
Gaara rolled his eyes and walked away. Kankuro just stood there next to Temari, Yuri as goofy as she is followed Gaara. Gaara stopped and she ran into his gourd. Gaara blinked and turned around. "What do you want?" He asked.
"To play!"
"Then go play with the academy kids."
"But," She began pouting. "I want to play with you."
Gaara gave her a weird. "No, I'm busy."
"No you're not."
"Why do you say that?"
"You're talking to me!"
He sighed and started walking away. Yuri quickly took pursuit.
"Leave me alone!" Gaara snapped.
"No."
"Why?"
"You're fun!" She said poking him in the arm.
"Stop." Gaara warned her, he lifted his hand preparing to surround her with sand.
"OK!" Yuri said jumping onto a roof and running to a different one.
Gaara sighed in relief. 'Finally, what a weird girl.'
The young Anoriya ran along the roof tops to the interrogation center. She raced in there and into the room Ibiki was in, he was interrogating a rouge ninja that some ANBU had caught. "UNCLE IBIKI!" She squealed and ran up to hug him.
The rouge gave Ibiki a confused and weirded out look. 'Good a distraction.' He lifted the chair slightly and slowly started walking to the open door.
"Yuri I'm busy." Ibiki set her down, he grabbed the back of the chair that the rouge was in, and yanked it back causing him to sit back down.
"I'm bored." She whined.
"Well go play with Kyten and Akari."
"They're on a mission."
"You're dad?"
"In a meeting."
"One of the Hyuuga's."
"Preparing for Chunin exams."
"Anko."
"Working."
He sighed. "Go find someone to play with ."
"I did, but he told me to leave."
"Find someone else."
"Ok." She pouted and left.
"Where were we?" Ibiki asked turning back to his prisoner.
Yuri ran around searching for a victim, but everyone was busy.
Sento yawned as they continued walking. Akari was walking in front of everyone still she was about six yard in front of him. "You still alive back there?" She looked back at them.
Sento nodded trying to keep his eyes open. 'Crap, stay awake!' He yelled in his mind. His body gave way and fell mid step.
Iruka was quickly next to him, he checked Sento's pulse."Looks like he just passed out from lack of sleep."
Kyten sighed. "Good…in a way."
Akari came back to them, she did a serives of hand signs, bit her thumb and summoned Haru.
"What are you doing?" Iruka almost snapped. "He's aller-"
"We'd waste time by waiting for him to wake up, plus we're jus outside of enemy territory we could be attacked at anytime." Akari took out her blanket and threw it over Haru's back. "Kyten can you help me please."
"Fine." Kyten helped Akari life Sento off of the ground and put him on Haru's back. "If he has an allergic reaction it's your fault." Akari ignored the comment and petted Haru's nose. "Walk softly so you don't wake him." Haruo turned his head and smelled Sento, instantly he growled feircly and leaned enough for Sento to slide off his back, Sento woke to the sudden crash. He looked up at Haru and backed away he crawled back in a crab walk. He held his arm up in an attempt to protect himself. Haru flashed his teether and growled. "Haru stop it!" Akari said, he didn't listen he took a step toward Sento. "Akari! Control him!" Kyten snapped stepping in front of Sento. "Back, Haru, back." She ordered getting in front of him. "Heal!" "Just unsummon him." Iruka stated. "We can't he has to be out for at least half a hour before we can." Iruka walked over to Sento and helped him up. "Don't worry Sento-san. Akari will gain control of her wolf." Iruka said kindly reassuring him. Haru growled louder and crouched down preparing to pounce. Akari now had enough, she smacked Haru on the nose. "NO!" She snapped. Haru stoped and cowered back a little bit. Kyten sighed. "Finally, are you ok Sento-san?" Sento nodded slightly. 'Dumb wolf.' He mentally cursed. He mentally whacked himself in the head. 'Ugh Hidan's rubbing off onto me.' "That was stupid Akari!" Kyten snapped at her. "How was I supposed to know Haru would do that!" Akari returned. "Exacltly how you cam up with you brilliant plan. THINK!" "Hey girls, stop fighting." Iruka got in between them before they were at each others throats. "If you didn't like it why didn't you try to stop me?" "He's your wolf, you're supposed to know how he'd react to strangers!" Kyten scolded. "He only reacts like that if the person's an enemy we've fought before." Akari blinked, she looked at Sento. Sento gave her a confused look. "Akari you've gone insane." Kyten stated. "We've never seen Sento before." "He could be-" "No, he has no chakra signature." Iruka sighed. "Quit arguing and let's just finish our mission." Sento's shoulders dropped in relief. 'They're too easy, it's sad to call them ANBU. Maybe they wont be any use to Akatsuki...hopefully.' He thought. They continued, Haru still growled at Sento everytime he saw him, but Akari kept him from attacking. Thirty minutes passed and Akari unsummoned Haru. "Bye boy." She saved as he disappeared. "Let's rest here for the night." Kyten said. "I'll make the fire." Akari cheered slightly. "Pyro." Kyten stated. "It's a good thing you haven't larned any fire jutsu's." "That's not a good thing." "Yes it is, if it wasn't the whole village would be burned down." "Not true." "The academy would, that's for sure." Iruka joked. Akari ignored the comments and pilled up some wood, she took out a small box of matiches. She fiddled with a match trying to get it lit. "Do you need help?" Kyten asked. "No." She continued fiddling with them, she finally got it lit. Holding it down so it would light the fire. Sento came over with some dry grass and put it under the match. "Thank you Sento-san." Sento nodded and moved away. The fire was lik and the gorup had eaten. Iruka and Kyten were sitting next to each other holding hands, one of their first steps in dating. Akari was sitting on the other side of the fire cleaning her swords. Aoba appeared behind Iruka and whispered in his ear. Iruka sighed and nodded. "I need to get back there's no one to fill in for me at the academy." He stood up. Kyten frowned. "Ok, break a leg." She said as he disappeared. Sento yawned and sat up. "You should sleep Sento-san, we have a lot of ground to cover tomorrow." He shook his head and signed. "I'll be fine." "You sure?" He nodded. There was an awkward silence, then Sento began signigh. "I heard that you two have some sort of 'special' chakra." "Um yes we do." "Why type of chakra is is?" "We don't know exactly we just found out." "How did you find out?""Some jerk Akatsuki member told us." He sighed inwardly. "Ok...you don't need to rest on the behalf of me, I'm able to keep up with you." "Are you sure, it's no problem waiting for you to rest up." "I'll be fine." "Ok then." They all packed up their things and began walking to Amegakure. They walked for a few days nonstop. KYten and Akari were both shocked that Sento was able to keep up with this pace without getting tired. "Alright we're resting." Kyten said pushing Sento down to a sitting position. Senot rolled his eyes. 'Ugh my chakra's getting low, I need us to keep moving...I guess it wouldn't be too bad if my transformation jutsu were to drop, I'm not wearing my cloak...I don't think I am at least.' His thoughts wondered, he stood up and signed. "I'll be right back." He went deeper into the woods, away from the senses of the girls. He did a hand sign, a small puff of smoke surrounded him and what was once black hair to to a grayish silver and his once brown eyes to to a crimson red similar to the sharringan. He observed himself. 'Good my cloak's in my backpack.' He sighed as he recieved communication from Pein, the leader of Akatsuki. "Where are you?" Pein's voice echoed through his mind. "A personal mission." "Get back here in twenty-four hours, you have a set of missions that have to be done." "I'll be back when I'm finished, those missions can wait." There was a growl from Pein. "Get back here imediatly or I will deal with you myself." That threat was never good coming from the leader and he never took it back. Sooner sighed. "My personal mission will be finished soon. I should be in Amegakure by tomorrow night. Tell Konan to stay out of my room please...sir." "Tell her yourself." Pein said cutting of the connection. Sooner turn back into his diquise and returned to the girls. Akari and Kyten were eating some of the food they had bought. "Is everything ok Senot-san?" Akari asked as she held a stick of dango in her mouth with her teeth. He nodded. "Everything is perfectly fine." Sento signed, when he finished his last sign, Akari tackled him to the ground. A three-bladed syth passed over their heads, it stuck into the tree, just above Kyten's head. "Stay down Sento-san, get behind Kyten." Akari instructed as she got off him, she stayed crouched. Right above her head was a cable that was connected to the syth, Akari watched the cable, someone was pulling on it. Kyten pulled two giant wind shuriken off their holster on her back and several kunai out of her back pouch, she readied to throw them at who ever came toward them or more of her sister. A loud irrating series of cuss words boomed through out the woods. "BEEP KAKUZU, IT'S BEEP STUCK!" The voice complained a much quieter voice followed but it was too quiet and too distant to be coharent. "I WOULDN'T HAVE THROWN IT IF YOU HADN'T BEEP TOLD ME ENEMY NINJA WERE OVER THERE!" Akari looked back at Kyten, Kyten nodded. Akari pulled out her ANBU sword and pushed her chakra through it, she cut the cable. "WHAT THE BEEP!!!" The voice screamed followed by a thump. "Idiot." The loud mouths partner stated, they were closer. Akari turned toward Kyten and pointed up at the syth. Kyten rolled her bright blue eyes, she set her hand on the tree trunk, and vinese slithered up the brass trunk, the vine wrapped around the handle of the syth and pulled it out. Kyten made the vines strech out and give the syth to Akari. Akari grabbed it and stood up, she prepared to fight.
"I'M GONNA BEEP KILL THE BEEP THAT BROKE MY CABLE!" He yelled as he came into the clearing, he wears an
Akatsuki cloak, has silver hair that is slicked back and pink eyes. He glared at Akari. "You beep, get your hands off my syth." Kyten glared at him and threw her kunai at him. "Don't call her that!" She snapped. The Akatsuki member didn't try to dodge, he let the kunai hit him, he smirked. "Nice throw beep number two, that actually kinda hurt." His partner came up behind him, the only detail you could see was his bright green eyes. "You're just going to make them want to kill you even more." He said. 'That must be Kakuzu, now who's the loud mouth.' Kyten readed to throw her giant demon shuriken. "Beep I can't die by the hands of these mortals." The silver haired said. "Hidan quit arguing and start fighting you said you didn't want help." Akari's eyes narrowed, she pulled how her bingo book and tossed it back to Kyten. "They're in there, Kakuzu is a ex-WaterFall shinobi, there isn't much on him yet." Kakuzu chuckled. "Smart child, it's good to know your enemies. He spotted Sento behind Kyten. "A package?" Akari raised the syth. "Don't go near him or you'll have signed a one way ticket to your death." Hidan laughed. "You don't scare us." A large puff of smoke surrounded them, as a 15ft tall Yubuki stood over Kyten and Sento. "How about now?" Kyten glared. Yubuki growled at them. "Good girl." Akari smirked. "Ah these are the beep ANBU that beep Sooner was talking about." Hidan said looking up at the large teeth that belonged to Yubuki. "Is this what he was bit by?" "No he was bit by a wolf." Kakuzu sighed. Sent grabbed his back pack and moved behind the trees. Akari jumped at Kakuzu and swung the syth at his head, he put up his arm and allowed it to hit, as he hardened his flesh. Using his other hand he grabbed her leg. His arm slithered futher out, there were tentacle thread type things keeping his arm connected to his body, Akari was now hanging upside down about 12ft off the ground, she growled at him. Kyten threw one of her demon shuriken at the threads, Kakuzu moved his arm and chucked Akari at Kyten. Yubuki thankfully caught Akari's leg in her teeth to keep Akari from hitting Kyten, who was holding her other demon shuriken. Kakuzu handed Hidan his syth. Hidan grinned. "Good, these beep will make great sacrifices!" Kyten glared at him as Yubuki set Akari down. Akari shook her head like a dog would when it gets out of water. She looked where Sento had once been crouched. "Kyten, where's Sento?" The older sister shrugged. "You find him, Yubuki and I will keep these jerks busy." "Ok, I'll be quick, be safe." Akari said running off in the direction Sento's scent was coming from. Kyten glared at the Akatsuki members. "Which one of you two wants to die first?" "How 'bout you?" Hidan snickered as he began to charge at her. Kyten jumped onto a branch but he managed to scratch her leg with his syth. Akari ran through the woods she stopped where Sento's scent was the strongest. Quietly she peeked around a tree and saw Sento disappear in smoke, when the smoke faded there stood an Akatsuki member. 'Crude!' Akari snapped mentally. Soonder adjusted his cloak. "I know you're there child, you can come out." He said, his back to her. Akari revealed herself. "Akatsuki huh? So what was the information you told Lord Hokage?" "That's still non of you business, no matter who I am." "Was it actual information?" "Mmmhmm." He said tying his ex-Kohonakagure headband arround his neck. Sooner turned around to face her, his crimson eyes gleamed. 'Her eyes haven't changed one bit.' "You! You're that member Haru bit!." She growled readying herself to fight. "So you do remember me." "It's hard when I didn't see your face before, but your stance and stucture are the same as that one member." Before Sooner responded he began running in the direction Kyten was, Akari not far behind. 'This isn't good, I need to hurry!' Sooner thought. Hidan pulled the blade that had Kyten's blood on it closer to his face, he was about to lick it until Sooner appeared next to him and threw him back, in the process Sooner grabbed the syth and wiped the blood off of it. "Sooner-san?" Kakuzu stated slightly surprised. "Get back to your missions now!" Sooner ordered. "You ain't the beep Leader so beep off!" Hidan snapped getting up. Kyten dropped down next to Akari. "Where's Sento?" "There." Akari pointed at Sooner. "Are you saying we've been escorting an Akatsuki member this whole time!" Kyten snapped, Akari shrugged. "Wait," Kyten examined Sooner more. "isn't he the guy we fought with dad!" "What are you doing here Sooner-san?" Kakuzu questioned. "Personal business." He muttered, glaring. "That involed these two Kunoichi?" "My business is non of your concern." He pulled out some poisoned senbon. "Now continue onto your mission." Kakuzu and Sooner glared at eachother. "Let's go Hidan, Leader-san wants us back." "Tsk, great." Hidan sarcasticly commented, the two 'zombie brothers' left. Sooner put his senbon back, Akari tackled him from behind and pinned him to the ground, and Kyten came and stood in front of him. "Now what is your personal business?" Kyten crouched down and pulled out a kunai. "It is still non of your business." Sooner said, his mind working out options for an escape. Akari dug her elbo into his side. "Wrong answer." "....I was just curious on how much you two had actually grown." Kyten and Akari gave eachother confused looks, then memories flooded back into their minds. Kyten's flashback...Kyten's POV. A fairly tall blue man held Akari up by the collar of her shirt, mommy glared at the two men, one of the windows were open making it difficult to hear waht the men were saying, because of the roaring from outside. The younger blue man dropped Akari, she grabbed something and ran over to me, she skidded to a stop and dropped onto her knees. "Hold dis please." She asked dropping a backpack in front of me. "Why?" I asked looking in it, there was somthing white and something black. by the time I looked back up Akari was digging in the closet. There were two loud thunks and I looked past mommy and saw the teenage blue man laying on the ground a gray haired man running toward the older blue guy. After a few minutes of watching the two men fight and memorizing their moves, Akari came back over to me with a couple of things, she put them in the back pack. Mommy picked both of us up and jumped back first through the glass of the window. The gray haired man's body faded from my sight, las I saw was that he was thrown back by the blue father. End Kyten's flashback... Akari's flashback...Akari's POV. Mommy had taken us out of the village for some reason, now we were waiting for someone for something, I really have no idea what is going on. But I had gotten bored so I went into the woods and climbed onto a tree, I was on a hight branch, I looked toward the village and saw the two Kirigakure Ninja that had attacked us, they were heading in our direction and from the look of it, they hadn't spotted me yet. My leg strength and chakra control both weren't that large, but I took my chances. I leaped to a branch that was in the direction they were going. From the sound of what I could hear the younger boy, Kisame was complaining about not being able to actually fight. I was about to look back when I was suddenly picked up. The man that picked me up truned around and practicly hugged me very tightly. I felt a few small pokes in my back and then something wet started to soak my the back of my shirt, the poke wasn't painful but it was uncomfortable. There was suddenly a large thud and me and my captor slid across the gound. I heard a quiet yelp of pain from my captor, he picked me up and set me down next to him. The two Mist ninjas landed in front of us, I finally looked at my savior, it was the gray haired man from before at our house. End Akari's flashback...3rd Person. Kyten blinked. "Y-you're that man that helped us out of Kohona." Sooner nodded, he gently pulled himself from under Akari. Akari watched him. "Do you know what happened to mom?" He didn't answer Akari's question. "It seems you two have been training with your 'special' chakra." "Yes we have, but the only two people that can train us are almost always busy or no one can find them." Kyten stood up, she still glared at Sooner. 'Even though he helped us when we were younger, doesn't make him good now!' The gray haired Akatsuki member stood there concidering some facts. "Why did you help us with those two other Akatsuki members.?" "Hm Hidan is a pain, he's too cocky, but he knows which members not to mess with and Kakuzu follows orders from superiors." "Ook, but why did you help us?" He sighed, "No reason." he said, as his eyes began to glow brightly. Akari watched his eyes for a moment, the brightness flickered and brightened again. "Are you inserting chakra into your eyes, I mean you 'special' chakra." He nodded. "would that cause the same effect as the Manegeko Sharingan?" Kyten asked remember seeing Itachi use it before. Another nod from Sooner, he closed his eyes. 'To be able to but his chakra in his eyes like that, he must have good chakra control.' Akari's curiosity got the best of her. "What would happen if you insert too much chakra?" His usually frown grew into a more noticable one, he looked down. "I'd lose my eye sight." "Oh." Akari smiled at him. "Don't worry I doubt you'll do that." He shrugged. "It doesn't matter either way." 'He's so.....what's the word....gloomy." Kyten thought. "KYTEN!!!! AKARI!!!!" A female voice called, a large Raven soared over the trees it cawed. "Yuri." KYten said surprised. Yuri just entered the clearing when Sooner disappeared. Akair and Kyten's minds suddenly regained another memory. Flashback...3rd Person "Akari, Kyten, you have have a visitor." Tsunade called. The seven year old twins rushed to the door, in hopes it was either their mother, Deidara their teammate, or their sensei. But saddly it wasn't any of their hopes intead it was. "Sooner!" The both yelled and hugged his legs. He smiled and patted their heads. Sooner would occasionally stop by and train the girls a little bit. The girls had ceased in calling him 'uncle' since they had grown out of the phase of calling all male adults clost to them 'uncle' and all female adults 'aunt'. "Sooner said he wanted to eat with us." Tsunade smirked at him, knowing all well that Sooner never ate, he was anerexic. He gave her a small glare. "Are you really going to eat, 'cause last time you didn't?" Kyten asked looking up at him, the mask she wore was still too big for her and slid down often, there was a small tear in the mask under the left eye. "Is that your dad's mask?" Sooner asked. "His old one yeah." "Oh, um yeah I'll eat a little," He smiled sweetly. "but I'm not staying long, this is a one day visit." "Awww." The girls whined in unison, Tsunade had moved to the kitchen to warm up left overs from yesterday's dinner. They all ate not so silently, the girls questioned Sooner about training things and a bunch of random things and Tsunade teased Sooner. After dinner Sooner and Tsunade sat outside watching the girls spare. "What have you been up to Sooner?" Tsunade asked taking a drink of her Sake. Sooner glanced at her and then looked back at the girls. "Things." "Is that it? You haven't gotten a steady job or anything?" "....not exactly." Sooner sighed. "I'm still a ninja, I'm just working for a different village at the moment, Kohona bored me." That was a clear lie and Tsunade knew it. "Sooner, I know all well that isn't true, you only left because-." "Grandma Tsunade!" Akari yelled. "What!?" Tsunade snapped. Akari pouted and pointed up, above her was Kyten hanging upside down, her foot caught in a rope that had been used when the girls were practicing with traps. Tsunade sighed. "Sooner would you mind?" Sooner slowly stood up, he moved as though he was in pain, but didn't let his face show it. He walked over to the tree Kyten was hanging in and pushed her up slightly so she wasn't upside down anymore, thankfully the rope was long and Kyten wasn't hanging to far off of the ground, other why's Sooner wouldn't have been able to push upright, he wasn't the tallest person, actually he was about the same height as Itachi. Sooner cut the rope and set Kyten down. "Thank you." Kyten sad sheepishly, she rubbed the back of her neck like Kakashi does. Sooner sighed and nodded his 'you're welcome', he went back and sat next to Tsunade. "It's about time for them to go to bed isn't it?" "Yes." "Is it ok if I tuck them in?"
"Um sure, if you really want to." "I do." "O-ok." A few minutes later Sooner had taken the girls to their room and tucked them in after they had gotten cleaned up and changed. He stayed with them until they were sound asleep, when they were he sat next to Kyten's head and gently kissed her forehead then did several hand signs and set his hand on her head, he closed his eyes as he search for the correct thoughts, this was something the Yamanaka's taught him when he was little. When he finished he did the same thing to Akari, then he quickly left and walked into the livingroom and met the curious eyes of Tsunade. "What?" He asked. "You look like you just did something bad." Tsunade said blockhing his path, he didn't respond. "I know you Sooner, what did you just do?" "Obviously you don't know me as well as you think." He said as he disappeared. Tsunade's teeth glenched together as she ran to the girls' room, she quickly looked them over, there was no physical harm done to them. She sighed and left the room. "What did you do to them Sooner?!" She said quietly to herself. The next morning the girls woke up at their usual time and did their routine. Kyten walked past the fridge, stopped, looked at a picture of them and Sooner. "Hey Grandma Tsunade, who is this?" She said pointing to Sooner. "You know who that is, quit fooling around." Tsunade answered. "No I don't, I'm not fooling around either." Her eyes widened. 'So that's what you did....idiot!' End Flashback.... Akari's teeth clenched togheter when she growled. "That-" Her sentance was cut off by Kyten slapping the back of her head. "Don't say what I think you were going to say." The older sister stated, a clear tint of anger in her eyes. "Yuri what do you need?" "Uncle Orochimaru just attacked the village...it's destoryed." Yuri said in a slightly goofy tone. "What!?" The twins yelled and instantly began running to the village, momentarily forgetting their anger at Sooner, Yuri followed quickly. Sooner appeared in his apartment to find Konan sleeping in his recliner, he sighed. "Well there goes that plan.' He thought referring to sitting in his recliner and reading one of his billions of books. Sooner went to his room to grabb one of the many blankets off his bed, there was a large pile of probably twently blankets, although he never slept...purposly at least, his apartment was cold because the heater was broke. It was cold enough that snuggling...or being snuggled by Konan wouldn't even keep you warm. Sooner dug through the pile to find Konan's favorite blanket, once he found the white blanket he went back to the living room and covered her up. Konan and Sooner had been dating for fifteen years, six years after he joined Akatsuki. Although they've been dating for so long he still hadn't made any real commitment, he gave her no ring for proposal, nor no signal that he wants to get married. Konan stirred slightly, he hand coming up the the side of her head as she stretched. "Sooner?" She said in her sleep. He smiled. "Good night Konan." He said kissing her cheek, he went into his spare room, that had no door, and he lounged in one of the chairs and begun reading. The Jonin and other Shinobi stood around Sarutobi's lifeless body, most of them were surprised that he was dead, others understood now, Orochimaru was becoming a big threat if he was capable of this. Sheik frowned and rested her arm on Kakashi's shoulder. "What was sensi after?" He whispered. Kakashi shrugged. "I'm not sure, maybe his revenge on the village." He sighed and pulled his Hitai-ate over his sharingan eye. Jiraiya looked at the Hatake. "You're right." "Oh?" Jiraiya nodded and begun to explain the movements he had recorded of Orochimaru's. Yuri looked around confused. "What's wrong?" Kyten asked. "Where's that boy I met, he should be here." "Who is it?" "He was one of the chunin exam particapants, I haven't seen him since the final stage started." "Oh." Kyten stated as she continued to the run down village. Flashback...
Late at night a small girl snuck through the streets of Konoha. Her trusty whips were secured at her hip. She had a secret meeting she had to be at by midnight.....three minutes ago. Some new prisoners had been brought in yesterday morning, ones that had information on Orochimaru's whereabouts. Of course she already knew where to find him but no one believed her. Oh well.
A flash of red entered her sites. 'Wait a minute who was that?' She didn't remember ever seeing him before. Forgetting all about her meeting the girl crepted towards a boy with fiery red hair sitting on a roof. (guess who) She crouched getting ready to pounce. 'Three....two....one...go!' With a powerful leap the girl flew through the air heading straight for the boy sitting ignorant of her presents. His eyes widened in surprise when their bodies made contact.
"Hi!! I'm Yuri, what's your name?" She asked unfazed by the frightening glare she was getting from the boy. When he didn't answer she pouted.
He jumped out from under her, his eyes wide. "Get away from me!" He growled.
She cocked her head like a bird. "But I can't, I'm the welcoming committee!! Welcome to....to.... um...here!" She grinned proud of herself.
'This girl is crazy' Thought the boy taking a step back.
A sandy blonde teenager stuck her head out the window "I-is everything alright G-Gaara?" She hesitantly asked.
Yuri leaned off the edge of the roof. "Hi!!! Who are you? I'm Yuri! The Welcoming Committee!"
The teenager jumped back with a cry waking the others in the room. Two other faces appeared in the window, the younger one raised an eyebrow "Who the heck are you!"
"Hi I'm Yuri! What's your name?" She asked cheerfully perched on the edge of the roof, she waved and with each swing of the arm she slid farther off.
The younger one stepped back. "Um is it me or is she not all there in the head." He whispered to his team mate and sister, Temari, she nodded amazed that Yuri was still alive.
Gaara wasn't sure whether he should move or not. He moved slowly back trying to get away from the only thing on earth that could make a demon cower in fear. Unfortunately his moving caught the attention to the one he was trying to get away from...sadly.
Yuri sprang at the cute red head, clutching him close. "Kawaiiii!" She shouted hugging him like a stuffed animal. The rest of his team climbed up, only to stop and stare at the 'should be dead' girl hugging the untouchable Gaara. … It truly was a site to see.
"Yuri, did you forget something?" A man jumped down onto the roof.
Yuri looked up, "Umm...........no" She widened her eyes knowing it was hard to resist them.
The man shook his head. "Let him go Yuri, you have somewhere to be. " She started to say something but he cut her off "No you can't take him with." She pouted.
Gaara gasped for air, only his pride kept him from crawling franticly behind his siblings and Sensei.
Yuri slowly walked up to the man "But Uncle Ibiki, Pwease!!?" She tried again, pulling her best cute look.
He shook his head. "Come on, let's go." He gently led her away. "Sorry for all the trouble she caused." He said before jumping off.
The sand ninjas blinked, Konoha, was weird.
End Flashback...
Once the three girls had reached the village all enemy ninja had left and the villagers had come back from their hiding places. Both Kyten and Akari froze in their tracks when they saw the damage. The girls' eyes were wide, Yuri stopped along with them, she watched them.
"I'm going to find dad!" Kyten yelled as she began running to the battle arena.
Akari snapped to reality, she had been relasping what had happened by observing all of the damage and dead bodies. "Wait, Kyten!" The younger twin beckoned running after Kyten.
Yuri Anoriya blinked. "Ook then." She said shrugging. Yuri ran after her best friends, her thoughts wondering off, Yuri cocked her head, causing her long blue hair to fall to the side. 'I wonder what Uncle Orochimaru is doing.' She grinned, and did a sharp 'u-turn', she ran back out of the village and went in a random direction.
Akari glanced back to where she though Yuri would be. 'Where did she go?'
