The Only One Chapter 12: I'm here to stay, a naruto fanfic

Chapter 12! i love this chapter to death... it was sooo fun to write. I really hope you like it. please please please tell me what you think about it in a review!

Disclaimers: I dont own: Naruto or the songs ( Think Twice- Eve 6; and an excerpt from What Have You Done by Within Temptation ). I do own the following (some with shared custody with a couple friends of mine): Kira, Kameera, Rin, Rara and Calael.

"Hey, Kameera-chan- you ready?" Deidara called down the hall. Poking my head out of his door, I stared at him blankly- and then realization hit me.

"Yeah!" I exclaimed, and ran towards him happily. He and Sasori were taking me out to help me train.

"Then lets go, yeah," Deidara said, putting his arm over my shoulders, in a hug. The rest of the Akatsuki was used to seeing us like this- and no one bothered us much about it. Happily, I walked out of the hideout with Deidara and Sasori on opposite sides of me. It was two weeks after the incident with Hidan; and he had been treating me better- a little, but better. I think he was more impressed then angered that I had the guts to do that- even though I had a little help from Deidara's emotions, I still was the main source behind it.

"So- what are we learning first Danna?" I asked, looking over at Sasori. He had been a little unhappy about the fact of going out in the day without having his puppet body- but in the end, he had caved.

"Um…" Sasori said, a little lost, and then he brightened, but Deidara interrupted him.

"If you say puppet art- I'll kick your ass," Deidara said.

"Is that a threat- clayboy?" Sasori said, causing Deidara to stop and stare at him.

"What did you just call me?" Deidara asked, glaring at him.

"You heard me perfectly- but just for you, I'll repeat myself nice and slow," Sasori said," cl-ay-boy." Before anything more could happen- two other figures appeared in the clearing we were in. I wouldn't have paid much attention to them- but a wisp of grayish hair and a glint of glass caught my attention. My head and attention instantly switched to them- and I felt my body freeze.

"Kabuto," I said softly, staring right at him with gleaming eyes. I didn't feel anger, sadness- nothing- from him or myself. Deidara and Sasori looked over at them and momentarily forgot about their fight.

"What do you want four-eyes?" Deidara sneered- but Kabuto didn't answer. Just like me, he was frozen, his eyes locked with mine. After what felt like forever, I closed my eyes; when I reopened them five seconds later, they were brimmed with tears.

"Orochimaru- what is your purpose here?" Sasori asked.

"Oh- I was in the neighborhood- and I felt something pulling me this way," Orochimaru answered," And now I see what it was." His eyes landed on me as he said that, and I felt Deidara's arm slightly wrap around me in a protective manner.

"Hey!" Kabuto exclaimed, making me slightly jump," Hands off Blondie!" Deidara and Kabuto glared at each other- but Deidara kept his arm around me.

"Why should I listen to you?" Deidara asked, smirking.

"That's my girl," Kabuto said, and Deidara gawked.

"What?!" Deidara exclaimed, and looked between me and Kabuto- then he regained himself," Dream on four-eyes – Kam-chan is my girl."

"In YOUR dreams," Kabuto scoffed," Come on Kameera- let's go." Kabuto took a step forward and extended his hand out toward me. Deidara stepped in front of me and took out a kunai.

"She is not going anywhere with you," Sasori said.

"She has no choice," Kabuto said, and glanced over at Orochimaru," She's still under 18- she has to listen to her father." That caught both Sasori and Deidara off guard- and looked between Orochimaru and myself.

"It's true," I said softly, and everyone looked at me," I remember being outside the 3rds office when he got the test results. No one else knows besides him, the person who gave him the information, me and you four." Suddenly, Deidara wrapped his arms around me, pulling me towards him in a hug.

"You poor child," Deidara said, and I didn't know what to do. Before I could do anything, Deidara quickly pushed me aside and Sasori caught me. Looking back, I saw that Kabuto had attacked and now was in Deidara's face.

"I told you to keep your filthy hands off her!" Kabuto seethed.

"She's not yours!" Deidara seethed back

When all,
Is said,
And done,
And dead,
Does he,
Love you,
The way that I do?

Think twice before you touch my girl.
Come around I'll let you feel the burn.
Think twice before you touch my girl.
Come around, come around,
No more.
Think twice before you touch my girl.
Come around I'll let you feel the burn.
Think twice before you touch my girl.
Come around,
No more.

She spreads,
Her love;
She burns me up.
I can't,
Let go,

"Kameera- come with us," Orochimaru said, looking over at me. I realized he hadn't moved much- he'd only spoken. Then I felt the pain and agony radiating off of him. I fell to the ground- the pain was almost unbearable.

"Kameera!" Kabuto exclaimed- but didn't come to me; he stayed locked with Deidara. Sasori leaned down, placing a hand on my back.

"What is it, Kam-san?" Sasori asked me.

"The pain… agony… it hurts so much," I cried, clutching my arms to my chest. Orochimaru stared wide-eyed at me- and he realized what was going on.

"My little girl is an empath- now that is just perfect!" Orochimaru said happily. Stretching his neck, he snaked it towards me- but Sasori intercepted him.

"Out of the way Sasori," growled Orochimaru.

"No," Sasori said stubbornly. From the ground, I looked up just barely. My eyes locked on the other side of the clearing- and I stared. I could swear I just saw the third Hokage, my mom and sister standing there- but they were all dead… how could they…? Shaking my head, I collected myself and looked around at my surroundings. As Orochimaru's tongue produced a sword, I came to my senses. I knew what I had to do- even though it hurt and tore me apart. Standing slowly, I stood there for about a minute, looking at Kabuto- and then Deidara- and finally, I took off in a full-speed run.

"Wait- Kameera!" Kabuto yelled, as Deidara exclaimed at the same time as Deidara; but I didn't listen- I just kept running.

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away
(what have you done now?)
Why? Why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us
Between me and you

{Konoha – normal POV}

"Hey, Neji…" Rara said, walking up to him. She had taken and summoned up a lot of courage earlier- and now she was hoping it paid off. Neji turned around and nodded- and so she continued.

"I was wondering… if maybe- if you weren't busy or anything… if you could help me," Rara said, aware that Hinata's father was watching from the other side of the Hyuuga compound," with my new technique."

"Sure," Neji said, and Rara smiled," Let's begin, shall we?"

"Sure!"

"Alright- explain what you have so far," Neji said, as they sat down on the porch. Nodding, Rara began explaining it to him.

Calael looked around and focused her chakra to her finger tips. Her eyes darted around the clearing- trying to figure out where the attack would come from. She didn't have to wait long- a bark sounded above her, and she looked up- moving out of the way just in time. Kiba and a clone- which was actually Akamaru- stood there and circled around her. Keeping a close eye on each of them- as best as she could- she waited for them to come to her; Calael didn't have to wait that long- the one on the right dove in just as the one on the left did. Quickly, she jumped, ran up the nearest tree, and hung by her feet. Making hand signs, she created what looked like a web, and crossing her hands, she wound it around the Kiba's.

"That w-was amazing C-Calael-chan," Hinata said, smiling at me as Calael jumped down from the branch.

"Very!" Kiba said as she released the web- and the second Kiba turned back into Akamaru.

"Arf!"

"I think Akamaru agrees!"

"Arrf!" Calael could almost see the canine smiling- and couldn't help but laugh.

"Wonderful job out there, Calael-chan," Shino said, and she beamed- while slightly blushing.

"Alright- ready Rin-chan?" Ino asked, kneeling next to Shikamaru.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Rin nodded. All three started making hand signs- and Rin prepared herself for what she knew would be coming. Shikamaru was known for shadow possession- while Ino was an expert in soul switching with her opponents. As the shadow possession snaked its way towards Rin, she created a shield, casting it around her- blocking the path of the shadow.

"Dang it," Shikamaru muttered under his breath, and began thinking of a different plan. Quickly, he done a different hand sign, and sent it towards an unsuspecting Rin. It almost caught her off guard- and Ino seized the moment to try her jutsu. She sent her soul towards Rin- who quickly jumped out of the path, and disappeared as she spun around.

"Where did she go?" Choji asked, looking around the clearing.

"I think I know," Asuma said, with a smile. Shikamaru cast a look at Ino- and then looked around him, putting his finger tips together as he thought. Rin waited a minute and reappeared, aiming her puppet-web jutsu at Shikamaru. He quickly dodged, and before she could move, his shadow mimic grabbed a hold of her.

"Dang it!" Rin exclaimed as Shikamaru grinned.

"Nice try Rin-san," Asuma said, grinning along side Shikamaru.

"Thank you Asuma sensei," Rin smiled as Shikamaru let her out of the jutsu. Ino came back to herself and scowled at me- but then smiled.

"Want a piece of advice?" Asuma said, and Rin nodded.

"When it comes to taking on someone like Shikamaru- don't touch the ground." She thought that over and then it dawned on her.

"Ah- okay!"

"Hey Rin!" Calael smiled as she skipped up to her sister.

"Hey Cal," Rin smiled back," How'd your practice go?"

"Amazing- I successfully used the web-cross jutsu," Calael beamed.

"Awesome!" Rin said, smiling.

"Hey guys," Rara said, walking up- a little unsure towards her cousins.

"Hey," Rin replied, looking over at her.

"So- um… how'd practice go?" Rara asked.

"Pretty good- mine was almost a success- and Cal successfully performed her web-cross jutsu," Rin told Rara.

"That's great!" exclaimed Rara, and then shyly said," I completed a new jutsu with the help of Neji."

"Congrats," Rin smiled.

"Thanks." Before anything else could be said- a wisp of white hair flew past them and bowled right into Asuma.

{Kameera's POV}

I ran almost blindly away from Deidara and Kabuto- I didn't even know where I was headed. A wall came to block my path- and I looked around. In an instant, I realized where I was- and created hand signs.

"Body-air jutsu," I said, and soon I was gone. The air current lifted me up, as I was part of the air now, and it set me on the other side of the wall. Reappearing, I ran towards the nearest point I could find.

"That's great! I completed a new jutsu with the help of Neji."

"Congrats."

"Thanks." I would recognize those voices anywhere- and before I realized what I was doing, I ran straight that way. Instead of running to them, though, my body had a different idea. I found myself running straight into Asuma. It took everyone by surprise- but soon, I felt his arms wrap tightly around me.

"Kameera!" a chorus of 6 voices exclaimed. My tears blurred my eye sight- but I could tell that Asuma was bent down in front of me now.

"Kameera…" Asuma said quietly, and then embraced me in another hug," I'm glad you came back."

"I never want to leave again," I cried, clutching him.

"You don't have to- everyone has missed you so much," Asuma said.

"I know- I can feel it," I cried, wiping my eyes. Turning, I faced Rara, Rin and Calael- but before I could say anything Calael and Rara had tackled me into a bone crushing hug. Rin walked over to us and hugged me without tackling me.

"Never leave us like that again," Rin said, and I nodded, feeling the tears flow from my eyes again.

"Come on- we have so much catching up to do," Rin said; Calael and Rara dislodged themselves from my side. Rara kept a hold of my arm, Calael my other arm- Rin walked along behind us. For once, I almost could forget all that had happened just a little over a week ago- but I knew that what happened couldn't be changed- no matter what. Sighing to myself- my thoughts traveled to Deidara and Kabuto… and I made my mind up then: I wouldn't let myself fall for another guy so fast- all it brought me was a heart break, and I was tired of that feeling. This was my life- a life of a kunoichi- and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

A/N: NO- this is NOT the last chapter- there is more to come! I hope you enjoyed this chapter!!
