: It hurts... : A Gaara Love Story : Deep inside.. : Chapter five:

"If you wish. But only cause you asked. Cause, after all, we all know you can't kill me, OR at least, you wouldn't." Sasuke said before leaving.
I whispered, so that he wouldn't hear, "You sure about that?"
Suddenly, I felt sleepy. I fell on the ground, making a "thump".

I slept, for I don't know how much time, but when I woke up, I remembered that Kakashi had told us that 2 or 3 days later, we were going at the bridge. But, guess what? I slept during those days, and missed them when they left.
"Awww... They left me again." I heard noise downstairs. "Looks like Naruto slept in too! Haha!"
I dressed up and went downstairs. Naruto was there, with two guys close to him. They were all tied up.
"Who are these guys, Naruto?" I asked him curiously.
"Ah, some bandits I found out were coming here, so I came back to beat 'em up!"
"Ah. Cool then. Now let's go and meet Team 7!" I cheered.
"Yeaaah!"

Kakashi and Zabuza were talking.
"Why are you working with that demon kid?"
"Naruto isn't a demon. He is still a human like us."
The... boy? He's one TOO..? I see
"As you say... Kakashi. In the end, your sharingan doesn't see everything..."
"What do you mean?"
"I'll let you find out by yourself."

Sasuke was fighting Haku, Zabuza was stopping Kakashi from helping Sasuke, and Sakura, just like always, was right beside Tazuna, doing almost nothing, since everyone protected her in a sort of way.
That was how things were when we arrived. Except Sasuke was in a kind of Mirror Dome... And he seemed like he couldn't come out. Mist was everywhere.
"whispers Naruto, look, I think we need a diversion now... Do something and I'll find a way to trick them somehow. Go on now! I trust you." I grinned.
"Hai!" He whispered back.
Crackers were heard and Naruto made his entrance.
"Uzumaki Naruto to the rescue!" Naruto screamed and grinned, since he saw that Sasuke needed help.
Naruto then entered the dome with Sasuke. I kinda planned that one.
They were getting attacked by Haku, Zabuza's subordinate.
As needles Naruto didn't see were sent in his direction, and Sasuke being too far away, I jumped out of my hiding spot.
The floor cracked as I jumped out of it, all the pieced of the floor protecting Naruto from the needles.
"Haha! Never think it's that easy to put Team Kakashi K.O!
Naruto's eyes were gleaming at me. "A-arigato gosaimashita.." He stuttered.
I grinned at him, and showed him my thumbs up.
"Now as for you, Haku, get prepared. You WILL get a piece of me."
"Oh, you know my name?" The masked boy in the mirrors asked.
"Well yeah, duh. You're the new 'weapon' of Zabuza."
Naruto's eyes widened. "A weapon? Even worse, a NEW weapon? Kilaru-chan, there was an OLD weapon before... Haku?"
"Yeah, there was." I confirmed.
"But... How come you know? Did you... know that person?"
I closed my eyes. "Yeah... I did. But she died. A long time ago, after running away from Zabuza."
"Oh.. I'm sorry." Naruto apologised.
"Oh no, it's okay. It's been a long time ago, as I told you."
Silence reigned.
"Well, shall we start?" I asked Haku, with a smirk.
"Ready when you are, miss." Haku replied.
I smiled and close my eyes. But it soon became a smirk and I opened my eyes.
"Naruto are you okay?"
"Y-yeah."
"And Sasuke?"
"Hmph."
"Okay. Let's go!"
And we all split up. Haku began his little attacks. Of course, we--, I mean, I dodged them all.
I heard a yell of pain. It came from Sasuke. Another one was heard, but this one, from Naruto.
Aww... I wish I could help them but, I must dodge mine too.. ..
Another set of needles was shot and, since I'm the only one who manages to dodge them, I heard cries made by both of my team-mates.
Suddenly, I saw that Naruto was in danger. So, with a technique I can use, which is called "Mind invasion", I took over his body and mind and dodged the attack just in time.
"Fiou!" I cried out, with Naruto's voice. 'What's happening?' Naruto's inner conscience asked.
'I am currently in your mind, Naruto.'
'But how do you do that?' He asked me.
'Eum.. It's a technique that only my father's clan could do..'
'Eum okay so.. When are you leaving? I am feeling kind of dizzy..'
'Oops.. Yeah, sorry. See ya!'
Where is she gone? Sasuke asked himself as he saw me disappear.
I went out of Naruto's mind and reappeared next to Sasuke.
"Yo." I said in his ears.
He jumped in surprise. His eyes were wide open.
"How did you--"
"Ah, S-E-C-R-E-T !" I smiled at him.

Indeed, my technique was to be kept as a kind of secret. After all, I was the last one who knew how to do it.
This technique consists that the user's body will be hidden inside their mind while they take over someone's body. But, if the user of the technique is in a weak state, the body won't be able to stay in their mind. It'll be teleported elsewhere, but no one knows where except the user. But there IS one thing. If the mind of the person whose mind is about to get possessed has a too great will, the technique will fail, and the user had to wait 30 seconds before returning to their body, or simply, reappearing. Depending on the user, the body will be hidden or shown. If the user's power is great, the corpse is still in safety. If not, the body will be materialized somewhere close. And, even if the one whose mind is under control tries to suicide to kill me too, the only one to die is him, since my soul is automatically expulsed from his body and rematerializing me not too far away. I can choose to stay discreet and only stay in the person's mind or I can choose to completely show myself. I decided that. But, when I replace my enemy (normally), the person stays in the body. I can talk to them! :D

"The least I can tell you is that I, I AM invincible. You cannot kill me. Try it; I swear there's no way you can." I declared.
I disappeared again and appeared in the mirror, this time with my own body.
Sasuke was taken aback.
'Hello there, Haku. So how does it feel like to be replaced?'
Nothing was heard.
'So, you don't feel like talking then.. I guess it's see ya!'
I went off his body and reappeared next to Naruto.
She can teleport or what?? Sasuke asked himself.
Haku took some time before moving again.
But, as soon as he did, he sent some needles at us, but this time, he was angrier, behind his anbu mask.
There were tons and tons of needles. I heard my two comrades' cries.
At this rate, they won't be able to take more--
My eyes shot open as I saw both of them collapsing.
I looked at them for a minute. They weren't moving. I felt a sudden hunger, spreading all over my body. I chuckled as some marks started appearing on my cheeks, cat-like whiskers, accompanied with some dark purple eyes with a yellow pupil. My hair, becoming longer, was turning from red to purple, and slowly, some cat ears started to appear on the top of my head, and a tail was appearing too, both made by purple-ish chakra.
"YoU wIlL pAy FoR yOuR cRiMeS! I hAtE yOu! DiE!!" My voice was strange, a little more manly, yet angry.
I saw, through my cat eyes, Haku flinching.
"Are you ScArEd, Haku? You can always TeLl Me, you know?" My tone was going from mine to my demon's.
"N-no." Haku stuttered.
"Great, I can show you my TrUe power!" I smirked, showing my canines. "DIE!"
Haku started to shoot needles at me.
But, they were deflected right before they touched me. Haku then saw my cat tail.
"That all you got?" I asked, smirking wide.
I was shot by tons of needles, they came from everywhere. I started forming purple chakra around my body. The needles penetrated the chakra, but they never touched my skin.
Haku's eyes (behind his mask) widened.
"You'll need more that THAT to beat me."
Haku re-did his attacks, he appeared in every mirror and shot needles. I saw him from one to another. I caught him during his actions. No way..! He thought.
I punched him in the gut and scratched his sleeves.
I was about to attack him again, but I felt pain in my stomach, so I let him go. He returned in one of his mirrors.
I fell to the floor, clutching my head. And I screamed, oh the loudest one in several years.
Suddenly, my eyelifts closed and everything was black.

Naruto's POV
I woke when I heard Kilaru's voice screaming.
I stood up. Something caught my eyes. Sasuke's body was on the floor. And next to me was Kilaru's.
"What? You've never seen a comrade die in a mission?" The masked boy asked with malice in his voice.

I don't know how, but, I felt a sudden power. My canines grew longer, my hair did too, and so did the marks on my cheeks. My eyes turned from blue to red. I started transforming into something I had no idea of, but red chakra was swirling around me.
I must have scared the masked boy, because he flinched.
He started attacking me, but in vain. Needles pierced my skin, but the red chakra made them come out and all my wounds healed.
I broke many mirrors in my rage, yet, I didn't care AT ALL. In fact, I was still angry at him.
I caught him while he was moving in and out of the mirrors and I punched him in the face.
He flew out of the mirror dome, all the mirrors going to shreds.
I ran at him, anger in my fist, full of red chakra, ready to strike. I stopped at an inch of his face.
The mask had broke, his face.. That face! It was him! Him! That boy, in the forest! I remember him! The one who had to help his injured friend! HIM!
How...could it be?
"You..." I whispered.
"What happened to your anger? Don't you want to avenge your friends? Aren't they precious people to you?"
I remembered that we had talked about our precious people.
I could kill him.
He asked me to kill him. He told me he was a tool, that without his utility, he was of no need to Zabuza. He convinced me.
"I'm asking you again, Naruto. Please, kill me."
I started running at him, fist ready, but as I was gonna punch him, he stopped my hand.
He said nothing, did a handsign and disappeared.

Kakashi's POV
I was about to strike Zabuza with my chidori, since he couldn't move. I had put my jutsu on him. My dogs were holding him off.
Finally, I stroke.
My eyes widened as I realised whom I struck was not the one I expected.
Haku was in front of Zabuza, facing me, my hand in his chest, his hand holding mine off, blood everywhere.
Zabuza said. "It REALLY was a good thing to have this boy."
Zabuza was about to strike me. Haku was not letting go, so I left with him.
I put him on the ground and close his eyes.
I was about to fight him again when something unexpected occurred.
Naruto came closer, having seen the scene.
A man talked.
It was Gatou, the man that Zabuza was working for.
He started talking.

Naruto's POV
I came closer to Kakashi-sensei.
A man talked. He was little and pretty fat. He looked at us with malice in his and his men's eyes. Cause, of course, he wasn't alone. He had tons and tons of men behind him, all carrying weapons.
The man, named Gatou, approached Haku's body.
Suddenly, he... he... he KICKED it!
How could he!? That's immoral!! He can't!
"Hey, you! What are you do—?" I was stopped by Kakashi, whose hand was on my mouth.
"Don't get yourself into this." He warned.
"Bht hu— (But he—)" I tried to speak through my sensei's grasp.
I escaped Kakashi-sensei's grip.
"You!" I spoke to Zabuza. "Why don't you say anything?! He was your comrade!"
"He's already dead." Was his answer. "It doesn't matter."
"But he loved you! He loved you enough to sacrifice himself for your sake, he considered you as his most precious person!" Tears came up my eyes, forcing their way out. "He fought, even when he didn't want to! He forced himself; he wanted to be of use to you! He was even ready to put his emotions aside for you! And he—"
"It's okay, kid." He stopped me. "It's okay, I understand. You don't need to say more."
He lifted his head up to the sky. I noticed something.
He was crying.
"How touching. So I take that Zabuza, the Devil of the Mist, is nothing but a poor little baby demon." Gatou exclaimed.
"Kid. Give me your kunai." He told me. I closed my eyes and threw him my kunai. Since Kakashi-sensei seemed to have made him unable to use his hands, he caught it with his mouth and began running towards Gatou and his men.
"A-attack him!" Gatou screamed and ran off to the back of his men.
Zabuza ran and passed through the crowd, hurting many on the way.
He arrived at Gatou with weapons pierced in his back. He hit him over and over again. He told Gatou that they'd both meet in hell, where he can be a real demon. He hit him again and made him fall down the bridge.
He started to come back towards us but he fell halfway there, in Gatou's troop.
Everything was silent. Kakashi brought him back, right beside Haku's body.
It started snowing, and Zabuza passed away after saying he wished he could go where Haku is, even though he believed he couldn't.
But then, Gatou's troop was angry because Zabuza killed their source of money.
They were gonna attack us, when something hit the ground in front of us.
It was Inari! And he was with the whole village!
I decided to help.
"Kage bunshin no jutsu! (Shadow clone jutsu!)"
Kakashi followed me.
They were so scared that they jumped off the bridge.
Sakura and Tazuna came closer.
"Naruto! Where's Sasuke?" She yelled happily.
..! Sasuke...
I looked down and close my eyes.
Her smile gradually broke.
She began running along with Tazuna to where Sasuke was.
My eyes shot open.
Kilaru-nee chan!
I saw Sakura crying over Sasuke.
Suddenly she stopped crying and she hugged him.
He's alright..!
I yelled.
"Sakura-chan! What about Kilaru?"
She looked at me, wide eyed.
I see... so she DID forget..
She got up, almost like a robot, and made her way to Kilaru.
She checked her pulse, or so it seemed to me, and she looked at me, eyes still wide. Tears were forming in her eyes and I could see that there was a problem. So, I ran over there.
"W-what's wrong?" I asked her, agitated. I expected the worse.
"Kilaru... she.. Her heartbeat isn't ... anymore." She said, crying.
"N—no.." My eyes were full of water.

--:After the bridge was finished:--
"We'll be going now."
"See you!"
We said our goodbyes and as we left, Kilaru's corpse was being transported by me.
Onee-chan.. I restrained myself from crying and we left.

Rest in piece,
Don't be fierce,
Instead of tears
Let's say cheers,
Memories pierce,
When filled with fears.
