Shiki: Here it is! Chapter three! Hope you enjoy!
"Princess wake up….you are so close, you can save us….Princess wake up, wake up Princess…."
Tenshi's eyes shot open, the scenery was different from but very familiar.
"Tenshi….?" Neji asked. Tenshi sat up when she realized he was there.
"Neji…." She looked around, to her left she saw the ocean, and to her right tree stumps. "Oh god….we're…."
"We're on the border of Lightning and Water….the Village of the Moon is that way right?" Neji asked pointing out to the ocean.
"Yeah….its that way…." She looked up and saw the moon high in the sky.
"But Kakashi-Sensei why can't we cross the ocean now!" Naruto whined.
"One because its dark and we have no idea what could be hiding in the water, two Sasuke might not even be there if we leave and we don't want to look suspicious." Kakashi explained.
"But Kakashi"
"Naruto that is enough! I won't argue over this anymore, you will listen to what I'm telling you!" Kakashi ordered.
"Fine…." Naruto hissed.
"Alright….Tenshi you feeling okay?" Sakura asked.
"Mmhmm, I feel fine!" Tenshi smiled at the pink haired girl.
"Okay, just tell me if you feel off." Sakura said before going to talk with Tenten. Tenshi turned to Neji and frowned.
"Neji you should get some rest, you look exhausted! You all should, I'll watch the whole night." She said addressing everyone.
"Tenshi are you sure?" Neji asked.
"Mmhmm! Don't worry, besides the moon can cause Genjutsu's at night around here. I'm immune to it so it's safer for me to be on watch." Tenshi explained.
"Alright, thank you Tenshi." Kakashi said. "Naruto don't argue and go to bed!" He said when he saw the blonde open his mouth. Naruto frowned but crawled into bed, as did everyone else
"Good evening Princess…."
Tenshi looked up at the moon and smiled; she looked back down and saw everyone sleeping.
"You can come down now…." She whispered. A girl dressed in white, with long white hair and white eyes appeared in front of Tenshi.
"Princess…." The girl bowed respectfully. "You brought what was needed?"
"I did, you have no need to worry I will restore my village no matter what I must do to do it." Tenshi said calmly.
"Alright, you know the plan….Princess you get some rest as well. I shall make sure no harm comes to you or those accompanying you, I'll wake you before it is my turn to sleep." The girl said. Tenshi nodded and fell asleep herself, feeling perfectly safe.
A few hours later, the girl in white looked at the horizon and saw the sun starting to rise; she looked at her hands and saw that they were translucent.
"Princess, you must awaken now…." She said. Tenshi woke easily and got up stretching.
"Thank you." Tenshi smiled at the girl.
"Anytime Princess….I must go now, don't forget the gift I gave you…." The girl said before vanishing. Tenshi sighed and turned to her still sleeping comrades.
"Alright wakey wakey! Do you want to go get Sasuke or not!" She shouted, everyone nearly jumped out of their skins at the abrupt waking call.
"Tenshi was the necessary?" Tenten whined.
"Yes it was….no time for breakfast, we need to be leaving soon if you want to beat the gathering storm across the ocean." Tenshi said looking up at the storm clouds rolling in.
"But the sun isn't even up yet…." Naruto whined.
"Well I guess you don't want Sasuke back today." Tenshi said.
"NO! WE GO NOW!" Naruto yelled gathering his stuff and running to the shoreline.
"Idiot…." Tenshi murmured walking after him, everyone else following behind her.
"How do we get across!" Naruto asked. "There's no boat!"
"Shut up Jinchuriki!" Tenshi hissed walking into the water ankle deep. She brought her hands together and started going through seals so fast no one could pick them out, her eyes were shut and she was murmuring something. "Kakashi don't ever try replicating this, you'll die…." She murmured. Suddenly the ocean froze over despite the summer heat.
"Tenshi…." Lee breathed shocked, he had thought like Naruto that she'd be extra baggage to the team and wouldn't be helping, but here she is, the only reason they were this close to getting Sasuke.
"Alright it's safe to cross…." Tenshi smiled at them. "Now let's go!" She took off across the ice, everyone following close behind. It took them about half an hour, but they made it to the island once everyone had set foot on the ground, the ice melted. Tenshi looked around and saw a boat.
"Sasuke and Orochimaru are here…." She murmured. "Follow me, don't stray too far or you might get killed…." She said walking on a path. Everyone stayed close to her, wondering what on earth could kill them if that didn't stay close, they arrived at the Village in minutes. A woman with white eyes was hanging up laundry when she looked over at the group and broke out into a huge smile.
"Tsuki-Sama!" She walked over, got on her knees and bowed. "Tsuki-Sama thank goodness you're back!"
"Emiko-San please get up…. Is he here?" Tenshi said. The woman name Emiko stood up and nodded.
"That snake bastard is here….he's over at the mine right now, we kept your families safe house, well safe! I'll take you there!" Emiko said quietly.
"First….can you get me Haru, Hiroshi, Kana, and Keiji?" Tenshi asked.
"I'll go get them!" Emiko took off.
"Tenshi why do you need those four people?" Gai asked.
"Oh you'll see…." Tenshi murmured, few minutes later, Emiko came back with four men with white eyes like Emiko's.
"Here Tsuki-Sama!" Emiko smiled. The four men bowed respectfully but didn't get to their knees.
"Princess…." They said still in the bow.
"You can rise….I trust you were informed of the plan?" Tenshi asked them, they nodded. "Good, then you know what to do….Emiko take me to my home." She said, Emiko nodded.
"Tenshi wait." Sakura said going to follow the two girls. One of the four men grabbed her.
"How dare you talk to Tsuki-Sama so familiarly!" He hissed.
"I'm her friend!" Sakura yelled squirming.
"And we've known her since she was an infant; you will call her Tsuki-Sama or Princess!" He hissed.
"Naruto!" Sakura yelled, she looked over and saw that the three remaining men had gotten a hold of her comrades and had them tied up.
"TENSHI!" Neji growled. "What's the meaning of this!" Tenshi turned and faced him, a smirk on her face.
"Why you are going to be the sacrifices to rebuild my Village of course!" She said before vanishing with Emiko. Neji broke out of the rope and tried to hit the men's chakra points but he saw himself looking at himself.
"What…." He breathed. The other Neji smirked and slammed the real Neji's head to the ground, the Hyuuga passing out.
"Toshi about time you got here!" One of the men said. The fake Neji turned into a boy about 16, he had platinum blonde hair and white eyes.
"What's with you guys and white eyes!" Naruto spat. The boy named Toshi looked at Naruto.
"Why it tells us who is in our Village of course, without the use of these forehead protectors." Toshi lifted his arm up; his forehead protector was wrapped around his wrist. "Tie the Hyuuga back up and put them in the cell with her. Tsuki-Sama will see them later." The men saluted Toshi; they tied Neji back up and led the Konoha ninjas to an underground cell, where a girl was chained to a wall. After looking the ninja's in the cell, they left.
"Neji-Kun…." Gai had gone over to Neji and was trying to shake him awake.
"I'm awake Gai-Sensei…." Neji muttered opening his eyes, they were furious.
"So….were we just betrayed?" Tenten asked.
"We were Tenten…." Kakashi leaned against a wall, thinking things over.
"If we weren't being held captive….I would love to learn about their customs…." Lee stated. "Theirs seem very different from ours…."
"How so Lee?" Tenten asked.
"Well, the villagers all had forehead protectors around their wrists and they were white, whereas Tenshi's is black and looks to be made to be worn around her forehead." Lee said. Sakura turned to the girl who was chained, her eyes were shut, she had long black hair, was dressed entirely in red including her forehead protector, and she had bandages wrapped around various parts of her body.
"Are you okay?" Sakura asked breaking the rope around her wrists and moving to the girl and breaking the chains.
"Thank you…." The girl murmured rubbing her wrists and opening her eyes, as to be expected they were white.
"Why are you dressed all in red?" Naruto asked coming over.
"Those labeled as enemies to the village are placed in all red so that if they ever escape from jail, they'll be caught quickly…." She explained.
"What was your name?" Kakashi asked.
"Tsuki Ame…." She whispered.
"You're related to Tenshi!" Lee asked. Ame opened her mouth to speak, when Toshi walked in.
"She's Tsuki-Sama's distant cousin…." He murmured.
"Still calling her 'Tsuki-Sama'….?" Ame murmured. "You are her fiancé." The Konoha ninja's went rigid; Sakura and Tenten looked at Neji who looked a mix between pissed off and heartbroken.
"Speaking of Tenshi…." Gai started.
"It's Tsuki-Sama!" Toshi hissed.
"Alright, speaking of Tsuki-Sama….where is she?" Gai continued.
"Getting dressed into proper clothing…." Toshi murmured pulling a scroll out of his pocket; he set it down in front of the cell door and murmured something before standing upright again. "Don't try and leave, you'll die…." He said before leaving.
"Ame-Chan….can you explain your villages traditions?" Lee asked. Ame shrugged.
"Sure, there's plenty of time to kill." She said. "Well the reason for the forehead protectors is because the villagers want the royal family to be as close to the moon as possible, so that's why Tsuki-Sama wears her on her head….and hers I black to even out all the white she wears when she's here. She wears all white while here, for formal occasions her hair will be dyed white."
"Why white?" Naruto asked.
"One because white is the color of innocence and purity, two because the moon is white, and three it's the royal families color." Ame explained.
"Why do the villagers wear black?" Tenten asked. "Every villager except for you I've seen has been wearing all black."
"They represent the dark side of the moon, also because once you reach a certain age you are sent on missions to do the royal families dirty work." Ame continued explaining. "The Village of the Moon has the best assassins"
"If Tsuki-Sama wears white here, why doesn't she wear white elsewhere?" Lee asked.
"On the rare occasion that Tsuki-Sama leaves the village, she must wear all black to decrease the chances of being seen…."
"Do you know why Tsuki-Sama left the village?" Kakashi asked.
"I heard from Toshi that she had gone to kill Gaara of the Sand….the Jinchuriki that destroyed our village years ago opening Orochimaru to take over…." She hissed.
"But Tsunade-Sama said that Gaara sent Tsuki-Sama over to Konoha…." Lee said.
"ANBU members were sent to see Gaara and they brought Tenshi back with them…." Kakashi murmured.
"So she didn't kill him…." Ame sighed. "That's a surprise….Tsuki-Sama is the best assassin here, no one in her family could beat her…."
"But you're her family!" Naruto said.
"Not really….I'm in the Branch part of the Tsuki family….so technically I'm not classified as her family. I was supposed to be her bodyguard, but Orochimaru came in and Tsuki-Sama was brought to the safe house and I was thrown in here." Ame said quietly.
"Reminds me of the Hyuuga family…." Naruto murmured.
"Neji-Kun, you've been quiet this entire time, do you have anything to ask?" Gai asked the white eyed boy.
"Yeah….why is that punk going to be married to Tsuki-Sama….?" Neji hissed.
"Because his eyes are the closest white to hers…." Ame moved closer to Neji and looked into his eyes. "But yours look exactly like Tsuki-Sama's…." She murmured. Ame moved back. "The famous Hyuuga Clan, they have the ability to see, block, or fix your chakra paths….Your Hyuuga Neji of the Branch Family…."
"How did you….?" Neji asked.
"We have amazing Intel, and we have agents in every single Hidden Village now, not that you'd ever find out who." Ame smirked and looked at the rest of the group.
"Tenten is a weapons specialist; Sakura is a healing ninja with incredible strength she was trained by Tsunade. Rock Lee and Gai are failures in ninjutsu and genjutsu but geniuses in taijutsu. Kakashi has one Sharingan and is very adept at ninjutsu, and then there is you…." She looked at Naruto. "I don't have any information on you….well….Toshi will find out…." She looked Naruto up and down, her eyes stopped on the lines on his cheeks, her eyes widened. "YOU'RE A JINCHURIKI! THE NINE TAILED FOX!" She yelled standing up.
"Ame can you keep this between us…?" Kakashi asked.
"No way! If I give you too Orochimaru he'll let me out! Then I can do my job and protect Tsuki-Sama! TOSHI!" She yelled. Or tried to yell, Kakashi had grabbed her and placed his hand over her mouth.
"Hush! We were here to help…." He hissed.
"Until Tsuki-Sama betrayed us…." Sakura sighed. The door opened and Tenshi walked in, she had a white dress on that clung to her shoulders and ended above her knees, she had on white heels, her forehead protector was on her head, and her hair had been fixed so that there were buns on either side of her head with braids hanging from the buns.
"Well well well…." Tenshi smirked and stood outside the cell door. Naruto charged at the cell bars, trying to break them.
"YOU BITCH! YOU WERENT GOING TO LEAD US TO SASUKE!" He yelled, his eyes turned red and the bars were starting to bend. Ame's eyes widened and she flung herself at Naruto, pushing him away from the bars.
"Ame….?" Tenshi's eyes widened in shock.
"Tsuki-Sama are you alright….?" Ame asked.
"Ame why are you in here!"
"Orochimaru threw me in here when he learned I was going to e your bodyguard…." Ame explained. Tenshi started shaking with fury; blood red ringed her pupil. "Tsuki-Sama!" Ame tried to grab Tenshi through the bars but couldn't reach her.
"TOSHI!" Tenshi yelled, the boy appeared instantly.
"Yes Princess….?" He asked.
"Where is that snake bitch!"
"He's heading this way Princess…." Toshi said shakily.
"Perfect." Tenshi growled before leaving and going above ground. Toshi looked at everyone in the cells.
"Can someone stop her! She could get hurt! That Uchiha is with him!" He pleaded.
"We'll help!" They all said. Toshi unlocked the cell and they all ran out and after Tenshi. Once above ground they looked for her frantically, Neji spotted her first. Tenshi was standing 5o feet from both Orochimaru and Sasuke.
"Oh look it's the little Moon Princess! She finally reveals herself." Orochimaru smirked.
"I'm going to fucking kill you!" Tenshi growled.
"How? The sun is up but the moon isn't!" Orochimaru pointed out. "Sasuke, here is more training….defeat her but don't kill her! I want to question her later." Sasuke only nodded, he activated his sharingan while grabbing a kunai and stepping forward. Tenshi put her hands together, she shut her eyes and said.
"Gatsu Me" Her eyes shot open, they were bloody red around her pupil, silver around the red, and the remainder of her eye was white.
"No! Tsuki-Sama deactivate it!" Ame yelled.
"Why? What is that?" Tenten asked.
"Her Families Bloodline limit! TSUKI-SAMA DEACTIVATE IT!" Ame yelled running towards her. Kakashi grabbed Ame before she could go anywhere.
"She can't hear you, don't worry she'll be fine. Neji is watching her carefully…." He said looking at the Hyuuga. As soon as he had spotted her Neji hadn't taken his eyes off her, he was watching her chakra very carefully as well as the rest of her, if she showed any sign to cause alarm he would jump in and get her out.
"But it can kill her!" Ame said trying to get away.
"What exactly does it do….?" Neji asked.
"It gives her the ability to see someone's arteries and veins….and she can control how you move by using your own blood." Ame murmured.
"How?" Lee asked.
"Because the moon can control the tides, which is water and blood is made of water it gives Tenshi the ability to control it. But it comes at a great cost, her own arteries and veins could beak and she could bleed to death…. And when she kills someone when she's using that sight it takes bits of her sanity away…." Ame said.
"So she could go insane!" Gai asked.
"Mmhmm….she could….That's why she is supposed to have a bodyguard, to keep her from using that technique!"
"I'm sorry but I cant let you go, Tenshi is so mad that she cant distinguish between friend and foe, its safer to let her fight them and let her come to her senses." Kakashi said.
"But!"
"Wait for Neji say to jump in…." Kakashi said.
"Fine…." Ame murmured watching Tenshi.
"Ohh, Orochimaru are you scared of me! Is that why you sent your lackey to fight me?" Tenshi taunted.
"Of course not…." Orochimaru smirked. "Sasuke get her!" Sasuke went to throw the kunai to see how she'd react, but he couldn't move.
"Hey snake bitch! If I kill him, then do I get to kill you!" Tenshi asked smiling sadistically. She walked up to Sasuke and pointed several needles at his neck. Neji watched carefully.
"Because it's physically binding, there is nothing Sasuke can do right?" Neji asked.
"Right…." Ame was watching just as carefully. Another Sasuke appeared behind Tenshi, who twisted around.
"When did he!" She said jumping into the air narrowly missing a kunai.
"You honestly didn't think I'd be caught that easily did you?" Sasuke questioned gathering chakra into his hand for chidori. Tenshi glared icily at the chakra, needles appeared in between her fingers and she threw them with deadly accuracy. Only one managed to hit Sasuke though, and it just scratched his cheek. She smirked as Sasuke stopped moving and his eyes suddenly shut.
"Did you honestly think you could beat me!" Tenshi threw back at Sasuke, she threw more needle, this time they all hit Sasuke.
"Gah!" Sasuke fell to his knees.
"SASUKE!" Naruto and Sakura ran towards their comrade, Lee managed to grab Naruto but not Sakura. Sasuke stood back up, opening his eyes, he gathered more chakra into his hands to form chidori again, he started running towards Tenshi when….
Sakura got between Tenshi and Sasuke, Sasuke's eyes widened but he couldn't stop, he hit Sakura right in her chest sending her backwards. Tenshi only became more furious, more needles appeared, she kept them between her fingers and managed to stab Sasuke in his chest.
"SASUKE!" Naruto somehow managed to shove Lee off of him and ran to Sasuke, he punched Tenshi who was sent straight into a building wall. "Sasuke!" Naruto said holding his old comrade.
"Naruto….what the hell…." Sasuke hissed.
"We came to take you back! We came to take you back to Konoha!" Naruto was smiling like the idiot he is. Sasuke sighed and took the needles out before pushing Naruto away and looked at Orochimaru, his eyes widened when he saw Tenshi on a buildings roof behind Orochimaru. Tenshi leapt down from the building and threw the needles at Orochimaru, who easily avoided it.
"Sasuke I'll be back to get you!" Orochimaru hissed before vanishing. Once he was gone, Tenshi fell to her knees, her eyes returning to normal.
"Tenshi!" Neji and Ame ran to her, Neji reaching her first. "Tenshi are you alright?" He asked worried.
"Mmhmm…." Tenshi murmured. Neji held his hand out for her to take, she gratefully took it smiling at him.
"TSUKI-SAMA!" Ame hugged Tenshi tightly. Tenshi winced.
"Ow oww owwww!" Tenshi hissed. Ame pulled away and looked Tenshi over.
"Bruises…." She murmured putting her hands over the bruising, healing them, she stepped back and looked Tenshi over again and spotted bandages. "What happened!"
"Naruto…." Tenshi muttered.
"Jeez…. I barely know him and I hate him…." Ame muttered putting her hands over the cuts that Sakura couldn't heal and healed them.
"Thanks, you are for sure much better then Sakura….speaking of…." Tenshi looked around and saw Lee holding a limp Sakura in his arms. "Sakura!" Tenshi ran over scared. "Lee is she…."
"She's just unconscious…." Lee murmured. Tenshi looked at Ame and Neji scared.
"Did I….?" She whispered.
"No! No….you didn't knock her out…." Ame insisted.
"Kay…." Tenshi murmured.
"Guys…." Kakashi said. "Let's go back to Konoha now….Ame you can come as well…." They all nodded and started on the journey back to Konoha.
Shiki: well what did you guys think? I think it was REALLY long and im surprised I got this out during exam week! Hope you liked it!
