For those who didn't read the note on the first chapter
I rewrote it, so you might want to go back and reread it,
Ok anyways, hope you guys enjoy the story
XD
Kyubi started to fall into the darkness we call sleep. The occasional drops of water from the leaking pipes above was like a little lullaby. Every little drop falling onto the flooded floor below, creating rips that disappeared into the darkness. His world was empty, only the endless amounts of pipes and water.
The sounds of water logged foot steps echoed in the dark world. Kyubi's fox ears twitched but he did not sit up, but he couldn't help but feel a little bit of happiness, he was getting rather bored by himself. He made him self comfortable on a thick pipe, waiting for his guest.
Well well, long time no see Kyubi. Madara emerged from the shadows, a smirk on his face. He stopped in front of Kyubi.
Che, damn and I had my hopes up too, but it's only you. Kyubi sneered opening one crimson eye to look at his guest. What do you want?
I cant just say hello?
Well hi, now get the hell out. as best as he could, Kyubi rolled over to his side, his back facing Madara.
Madara couldn't help but chuckle. Crossing his arms he leaned back, a pile raising up from the ground to support him. Well I didn't think I would be seeing you so soon in the Games. Roaming into another King's territory, but then again it is like you. Madara whispered the last part, looking at the orange fox tail laying still by Kyubi's body.
Is that all you have to say? the fox man yawned, wanting to take a nap.
No, his red eyes glared holes in the Kyubi's back, What are you, or rather, what is your King planning? It's far to early in the Games for any battles, what is he trying to gain by coming here?
Kyubi rolled around to face him, a coy smirk on his face, What's wrong, afraid to die. Are you scared for your King's life? Madara growled slightly, intensifying his glare, Oh, that's a scary face. Ha, if your so worried why don't you just tell your King to run. Kyubi loved to push Madara's buttons, and he just hit a big one.
Che, he is not a coward like you or your King. He could easily take the King of Spades, if you're his card, than he doesn't stand a chance. Glaring, Kyubi jumped down, not caring if he got wet.
What did you say? My aren't you confident, if Naruto wasn't half the idiot he was. He would of easily noticed your King and destroyed him along with his Court.
Che, Madara sneered, if your so damn confident than why don't you just tell him. Then we'll see who come out on top. Kyubi never one to back down from a challenge took a step forward.
I think I will! suddenly the room shifted, almost throwing the two beings to the floor. The pipes started to retreat, the water draining, the dark room slowly starting to fill with light. They both hissed, covering their eyes to shield them from the brightness. Slowly opening their eyes, they noticed that they had arrived in a new room, someone's world.
Tsk, tsk, you cant do that. Both of you should know that. They couldn't help but shiver at the sight of the 2 figures sitting on a couch in front of them.
My, my. Jokers, and so early in the Game. Madara chuckled lightly.
No need to be so tense, relax, take a seat. The same person gestured for them to set, two chairs appeared underneath them.
We surely hope you two know better than to break the rules, the other one said, her voice filled the room. It was lovely, a sweet gentle voice, almost too innocent to be a Joker. Almost…
Yeah, sorry 'bout that, really didn't mean it. Kyubi scratched the back of his head. He wanted out, he didn't like it in this room. Everything seemed to be too perfect, too clean, for his liking. They could faintly see them nod their heads.
And you Madara? the first one asked, it was clearly a male. And a deadly one no doubt.
I too apologize for my actions, I provoked Kyubi after all.
Good, now return to your cards, never speak of this meeting to your Kings. They have to figure things out on their own. That is the rule to the Games…and as soon as they came, the two figures left. Madara and Kyubi returning to their worlds. Jokers where no laughing matter, they could very well be the end of you.
"Naruto-kun!" said boy smiled and waved to the small group of girls at the sidelines. He ran up to Kiba giving him a high five. They both had sweat running down their faces, but that didn't stop the love struck girls from drooling over them. A boy, about a year older than the two, ran up from behind, throwing an arm over their shoulders. The rest of their team followed, congratulating the new students for scoring the winning goal.
It was only lunch, and the King of the White Spades and his Court had already set their place in the school. They all seemed to forget their reasons for ever enrolling in the first place. Hinata watched timidly as her King made his way towards her only to be stopped by a wall of girls. She felt something grow inside of her. Sadness, hatred, jealously, envy, the need to run over there and run into her King's arms. To show the other that he belonged to her and no one else.
But sadly she could not, that not being the kind of person she was. She was too shy, too kind, too weak to fight a war. She didn't belong in the Games, she knew she would be one of the first to die. But if that meant dieing for her King, then she would welcome death with open arms.
Haku silently watched the Queen next to him. He knew, they all knew that she didn't belong in the Games. She couldn't hurt a fly let alone another person. It made him question why she was chosen, why did she become the Queen of the White Spades. He couldn't help but glare angrily at her, why was their Queen so weak, was this the best they could receive?
Just then the bell rang, and all the students grabbed their things and ran inside, Naruto and his Court walking together slowly. The goofy smile on Naruto's faced disappeared the moment the last student pasted them. "Did you find anything?" he asked, his voice low and dark.
"No, not yet. Everyone seems normal enough. Kiba are you sure that their here?" Haku asked, looking around in the hallway. They were running late and most of the students were already in their classes.
"Yeah, I can smell then, it all over the place, I cant tell where they are right now." Kiba silently cursed. He was the first to receive power from his Card. His senses hyped over night, and he was now like a beast. He was filled with pride when he led the Court to the school, but that pride quickly diminished as soon as he stepped foot inside of the school that morning. He was overwhelmed by his new surroundings, he couldn't pick out one scent from another, he felt useless. He couldn't help his King, his best friend, to end the Games. Yamato had said he would get better as he trained, but he couldn't wait, he wanted to prove his worth to the Court. They walked into this school blindly, not knowing the powers of the other court. And he was the one that brought them here, if worst came to worst, he would be at fault for his friends death.
"Well we cant do anything else but wait, hopefully we'll find them soon." Naruto said stopping in front of his class room door. "For know keep your eyes open." all seriousness melted off his face, a grin on his face as he busted through the door. He was greeted by his teacher, angry for his tardiness.
Yamato looked down at the Court of White Spades, "So how was your first week of school?" he almost regretted asking. Naruto shot up, flame burning is his eyes.
"its been one week, one fucken week and we still cant find them!" Naruto shouted angrily, stomping around the clearing. "I'm mean how long does it take to find one guy and his Court?"
Haku shook his head, "Well what do you expect, walking into the school, searching for an unknown King. You don't have a name or a face to look for." Naruto pouted knowing he was right, he always was. "At least they haven't notice or acknowledged as yet. With on information on them, they could have an advantage."
Yes, they have yet to be known, surely the other King and his Court must of known about them. Are they just pretending not to notice their presence or were they truly unaware of their presence. Maybe their too weak to notice us. Naruto thought to himself, grinning. Don't get too cocky kid, no matter the situation you should never let your guard down. Naruto almost jump when his head was filled with another voice. Damn it Kyubi give me some warning when your about to speak. God, give me a heart attack why don't you. Kyubi chuckled before falling silent. He had yet to grow accustom to another being sharing his mind. He had to remember that his thoughts were no longer private, Kyubi knew more about him then he did himself. It was a frightening idea but he could do nothing about it. If having an loud, bossy, nasty, bitchy… Hey I can hear you Kyubi growled. Naruto mutter an apology, but if have to share your mind with another person was the only thing he had to do for power, then he didn't mind. After all Kyubi was an interesting person to talk too.
Yamato couldn't help but worry about the Court under his care. He had seen the others, the Court of the Black Hearts, they were undeniably powerful. So early in the Game and they could already summon their weapons from their marks, weapons which they seem to master in days time. He had also made contact with their assigned Knave, his old friend/rival Hatake Kakashi former Knave of the White Clubs. He had quickly notice lust for power the King of the Black Hearts possessed and used that as an advantage for training. Yamato knew that as this rate the Court of the White Spades could very be the first to die in the Games.
No I cant let that happen, Yamato called their attention, "If you wish to fight the other Court you much train, or you wont stand a chance." they all seemed to perk up at the sound of training.
Naruto grinned a wicked grin, "Well then what are we waiting for lets get started. No way we're going to lose to anyone."
"Mm, this is boring!"
"What do you expect, its only the start, of course they wont battle yet."
"Yeah but still, they should of at least sensed each other. I mean their training in the same forest for crying out loud. Less than a mile away from each other, really are they that weak to not see." the person moaned in displeasure, a pout rested on their lips.
"They progress at their own pace, they are all different." the second person started, leaning against the tree.
"I don't care, the Knaves assigned to care for them have noticed one another and their Cards as well, they even know of our existence. I want to see blood shed, fights to the death, I want to hear cries of pain. Not watch them struggle to stay awake in their classes!" the first figure whined.
The man couldn't help but sigh, this women in front of him was certainly impatient. "We are Joker, watchers and keepers of the rules. As long as they obey the law set down by the 1st King then we have no reason to make our self known." the girl let out an un lady like snort as she waltzed to the end of the flimsy branch. They had rested on top of a towering oak, tall enough for them to see both Courts train.
"But," the man joined the girl at the end of the branch, "I don't think you seem to care. You only lust to see their blood flow." the girl giggled as her petite body was surrounded by the man's strong arms. He was right after all, she didn't care about the rules, let alone the outcome of this Game. She just wanted to see blood stain the hands of these Kings. She could just imagine the looks on their faces when they realized what they had just done.
After all not all Kings come out of the Games perfectly sane.
"Mm, you know me well." she looked up, her ruby eyes met with his own golden pair, their beauty only enhanced by the simple black mask he wore. A sadistic smile reached the man's lips, she matched the smile before they disappeared, the flimsy branch snapped as it plummeted to the forest floor.
"Mr. Uzumaki, Mr. …." Naruto groaned slapping away the hand that shook his shoulders. No not now, need sleep he groaned, pulling his black school jacket over his head trying to block out the noise around him.
Sasuke glared at the blonde boy next to him, annoyed how he had fallen asleep just as the teacher called his name. Hn, you have no excuse to be sleepy you damn dope, your not the one who had to stay up all night training. The boy snorted in disgusted as the blonde boy snored, drool overflowing on his desk. Tired of the noise Sasuke lifted his math book, hovering it over Naruto's head before dropping it.
"Ow, what the fuck was that for?" Jumping awake Naruto glared at the pale boy, rubbing the growing bump on his head.
"Mr. Uzumaki watch your language, and Mr. Uchiha please don't attack other students with books." the teacher walked back to his desk, bring everyone attention back to the lesson written on the board.
Sasuke felt a death glared aimed for his head, he turned his head to glare back. But Naruto didn't back down, Who the hell does this basterd think he is?Urg, Kid what are you screaming about? in his mind he heard Kyubi groan sleepily, Sorry but this basterd has it coming.
In his own mind Sasuke spoke to Madara, angry for the disrespect this peasant was showing him. Well what will you do, your not going to let him get away with it are you? Madara asked coyly, he wasn't breaking the rules, he didn't reveal the boy's true identity. He'll regret ever coming to this school.
They continued to glare at each other until the bell rang, when the teacher dismissed them, they each gave each other a final glare before heading their separate ways.
Haku sighed as he heard their King stomping their way. He was mad, no he was pissed, not so much of a surprise after all it was Naruto. "So what's wrong now?" but he really didn't care. Naruto didn't answer him, he stormed pass them, making his way to their little hide out behind the school in a little forest.
"Oi, Naruto wait up!" Kiba called, worried. I've never seen Naruto this mad before. Finally they caught up to him. "Hey what's wrong?"
"I'm sick and tired of that basterd and his attitude." He growled, "He thinks he's so cool. Rich basterd, I swear every time I see him he has a different girl hanging off his arm. I'm tired of his attitude towards me, I'm the King of the White Spades for crying out loud! He needs to learn his place around me!"
You've changed Naruto-kun, so much, it's scary. What happen to the old you? Hinata could only watch him continue his rant, afraid to stop him. This isn't you Naruto-kun.
"What are we doing again?" Kiba was worried, not only for the Sasuke boy but as well as the mental health of his King/best friend. He's taken this King thing a little too far.
"We're going to teach this guy a lesson." Naruto explained like it was nothing.
"So what are we waiting for?"
"Well it would be to annoying to attack him in an area with a lot of people. We have to wait until he's alone or something before we attack. And if we attack by the school then that other King might find us."
"Wow, that's the smartest think you've ever said." Naruto glared at the long haired boy.
"Not now Haku!" Just then he heard foot steps and someone calling Sasuke's name. He looked around the corner to see the boy being approached by 3 other people, 2 boys and a girl. After a while they started heading off, Naruto cursed. "Looks like he wont be alone."
"S-so w-what n-now?"
"We're going to follow them, if they don't run away when we attack then it's not our problem."
"Is he following us?" Karin nodded her head. Sasuke smirked, he knew the dobe would.
"Sasuke-kun he's not alone, there's 3 other people with him."
"That's fine, you guys take care of them, the Dobe is mine." in his mind Madara chuckled, I cant wait to see how this turns out.
They had left the school grounds, both groups heading towards the forest where they both, unknowingly trained. "Yeah! Finally, their going to fight!" the two Jokers, dressed in black, jumped off the school roof. They followed the 2 Courts by tree top, staying well hidden in the shadows. They needed to make sure no human would get involve and to collect the Cards and bodies, they didn't need the media to learn about their Games.
Sasuke stopped in the middle of the clearing, were just last night he trained with his sword and gun. "So are you going to come out or what?" he didn't turn around when the bushes rustled as 4 bodies moved through it join him and his Court in the clearing.
"Pretty brave of you to lead us all the way out here. What's wrong afraid someone will see you lose?" Naruto taunted, his right arm resting over his stomach. The Mark of the White Spades burn almost painfully, Someone's getting excited. he couldn't agree more.
Sasuke smirked, ignoring the boy little taunt. His own mark burned over his heart, he didn't know what this feeling meant but he liked it. "Hn, all talk are you." breaking out into a full run, Sasuke landed a nice punch on Naruto's chin, sending him to the ground.
"Naruto!" said boy pushed away his friends, wiping the blood off his chin.
"Nice left hook." unfazed by the sudden attack. Sasuke glared at him and ran toward the boy again, Naruto did the same. He wasn't one to back down from a challenge after all. They exchanged attacks while their friends watched. He's good, but I'm better. Side stepping his punch, Naruto quickly grabbed Sasuke's arm. While he tried to pull away he didn't notice Naruto's other arm swing towards the back of his head. The heavy punch left him disorientated for a second, long enough for Naruto to flip him over his shoulder.
Sasuke coughed up a bit of blood as his back took the brunt of the blow. "Had enough?" Sasuke glared at him, pushing his body off the ground with shaky arms.
"No where close." he was done playing. He pulled at the buttons of his shirt, letting it fly open revealing his Mark of the Black Hearts. Naruto's eyes widened as the Mark on Sasuke's chest was revealed, at the same time his own Mark started to burn hotter.
"Wait if you have that Mark then…" Naruto looked at the 3 others behind him. Putting the pieces together, "You're the King!" finally they found him, and what good luck, Naruto grinned. Prepare to die.
Sasuke was slightly surprised at the blonde's outburst, so he knew about the Games. Was he another Blank like the one before, or was… his ebony eyes widened. Turning around. "Don't just stand there! Attack them, their another Court and King!" he was suddenly thrown against a tree, pinned by the neck by Naruto's forearm.
"Hn, what luck. Prepare to die King-teme." pushing him off Sasuke right hand brushed his Mark, releasing his sword. Naruto was surprised but didn't show it, instead he ran in for another attack. They didn't notice their own Courts fighting, Suite vs. Suite.
"Finally," the female Joker giggled, making herself comfortable on her partner's lap, "The Game's have truly begun."
Yup, that's all
