Shiki: Alrighty Chapter Five is hheerree! Hope you enjoy it and say thank you to Virtual school, otherwise I wouldn't have posted this fast!
It had been a few days since Deidara had escaped from Tenshi, and everyone was settling into Konoha's peaceful lifestyle. Because of Sasuke's threat to Konoha, an order had been issued out that he be followed everywhere by an ANBU guard, on that condition he was allowed to leave his cell and try to get accepted back into Konoha. Naruto of course was the first to accept him back, Sakura also accepted him back quickly, on the other hand though, Neji and his teammates weren't that easily brought into acceptance, and seeing how Tenshi and Ame's lives were thrown apart by him and Orochimaru they weren't very happy either.
It's been two weeks since the failed mission had happened, and Tenshi is following orders, but is not happy about it one bit.
"Sasuke I love you sooo much…." Naruto said holding the Uchiha close. The two boys had gone to a dark alley where no one would see them and were currently being sweet and giving each other kisses. Tenshi was hidden form anyone's sight and was taking her turn watching Sasuke, she stuck her tongue out at them, she didn't hate gays but she did hate Sasuke.
"Naruto, I love you too!" Sasuke gave the blonde a kiss, Naruto kissed him back happily. Tenshi felt an unidentifiable emotion swell up in her, one that she didn't like one bit, she blamed it on the gayness.
"Jealous Tenshi….?" A familiar voice said behind her. Tenshi jumped and twisted around seeing a cat mask but the beautiful brown hair she loved that is Neji's.
"Why are you here!" Tenshi hissed.
"You answer my question and I'll answer yours!" Neji said, she couldn't see it but Tenshi was sure he was smirking.
"No! I'm not jealous!" She spat. Neji pulled her closer to him and farther from her work, he had become bold in his actions and Tenshi had taken notice but it was always fun to tease him.
"But I think you are my sweet Angel…." Neji whispered in her ear, he smirked behind the mask when he felt a shiver run down her spine. "I want to see that beautiful face of yours…." He said placing his hands on the mask to take it off, Tenshi's hand stopped him.
"You can see my so called beautiful face later when I'm not on duty….Now tell me why you are here and why you aren't following regulations….?" Tenshi said smirking beneath her own cat mask.
"I'm here because you've been with this couple since last night." Neji started. Tenshi groaned and stuck her tongue out.
"Please don't say anything about last night, it was the worst night ever…." She groaned. Neji's eyes widened.
"They didn't…." He breathed.
"They did…." She groaned again.
"I'm going to talk to the higher ups; I don't want you watching them at night anymore!" Neji said getting up and vanishing. Tenshi smirked and chuckled quietly to herself.
"I was only kidding….Sasuke knows that there are people watching him…." She said to herself before looking back down at the couple.
After a few hours, Kakashi came to relieve her, she warned him about their public displays of affection and told him what had happened while she had been watching before she vanished and appeared in her apartment where Ame and she were staying.
"Ame?" Tenshi called; when she didn't get and answer back she assumed Gaara had taken her out. It was plainly obvious that Gaara liked Ame a lot, but the girl was too dense to see it for herself, so bad that Tenshi felt a bit of remorse for the red haired boy. She threw her bag of needles onto her bed and started removing the hidden needles from herself, when she felt arms wrap around her waist.
"Its about time you got back here…." Neji whispered to her, he was no longer dressed in ANBU clothes.
"How did you get in here….?" She asked annoyed.
"You should tell Ame to lock the door!" Neji smirked and took her mask off for her before placing it on the bed next to all of her needles. "How do you hide all of those?" He asked curious.
"I'm not done getting all of the needles Neji…." She murmured.
"Well let me help you…." He smirked while taking her hair down from its high ponytail.
"NO!" Tenshi yelled blushing like mad.
"And why is that….?" Neji's smirk grew as he pinned her to a wall.
"Neji…." Tenshi growled.
"Yes Tenshi!" He whispered in her ear. Tenshi's blush deepened, but she finally put herself together and shoved him away before dragging him out of her room and locked the door and window so he couldn't get in.
"Jeez…." She whispered. She got clothes from her dresser, she stepped out of her ANBU clothing, removed the rest of the needles and then changed into a black dress that ended above her knees and barely clung to her shoulders before slipping her black sandals and her Konoha forehead protector (she had been given one when she joined the ranks of the ANBU) before she walked out to see Neji waiting patiently.
"Hey." He smiled at her.
"Hi!" She smiled as he took her hand. "What are we doing today?"
"Whatever you want to…." Neji said leading her out of the apartment complex and to the more deserted parts of town.
"Hmmm, then I want to just be with you." Tenshi smiled up at him, she really liked Neji and she had done her teasing for the day so she was letting her sweet side out.
"You are being exceptionally cute today!" Neji smirked as he led her to the training grounds, which were thankfully abandoned. They sat beneath the shade of a large tree and Neji pulled her close to him.
"Because I decided I've teased you enough today…." Tenshi said leaning on him and smiling content.
"Really now? Well thank goodness because when you tease me it can get annoying!" Neji teased her.
"Impossible! I never annoy anyone!" Tenshi teased back. "Unless…." She gasped. "You don't like me!" She started tearing up.
"WHAT!" Neji's eyes widened. "Impossible, Tenshi I like you so so much! I think I love you!" He said quickly. Tenshi's eyes widened and she stared up at him.
"N-Neji…." She breathed.
"Oh screw it….I do love you." He pulled her even closer and kissed her. Tenshi's eyes widened, after a second, she shut her eyes and kissed him back loving the feeling of his lips on hers. Neji pulled away, but kept them close enough that their foreheads were touching, her placed his hands on her cheeks and smiled at her.
"You know…. I was only kidding when I said that you didn't like me…." Tenshi whispered smirking at him.
"But I'm glad you said it, because if you hadn't then I wouldn't have confessed…." Neji said softly.
"I love you too Neji…." She smiled at him lovingly. Neji sighed relieved and stroked her cheek.
"Thank god, I don't know what I would have done if you didn't love me…." Neji said, he pulled her onto his lap and held her close.
"This is by far the best day in my life…." Tenshi murmured resting her head on his chest and relaxing completely, loving how safe she felt.
"The best day so far…." Neji kissed the top of her head.
"You know….I could spend everyday for the rest of my life just sitting here with you…." She smiled up at him.
"You're so cute…." He kissed her nose before leaning his head back against the tree trunk. The wind blew through the training grounds, and the two people went quiet, just enjoying the company of the other one there.
"Neji!" Lee came running up, Tenshi quickly got off of Neji's lap and settled for leaning on him.
"Yeah Lee….?" Neji asked annoyed, he missed Tenshi's warmth already.
"Hinata has been looking for you! She says that her father wants to see you now!" Lee said frantic.
"What!" Neji asked standing up quickly.
"Yeah! You need to hurry he looked extremely mad!" Lee continued. Tenshi looked up at Neji concerned.
"Go Neji, I'll stay here until sunrise!" Tenshi said quickly. Neji only nodded and went with Lee to the Hyuuga compound. Tenshi sighed once they were gone and looked up at the setting sun and shook her head. "Its going to be a long night…." She murmured.
Meanwhile in the middle of town: Gaara and Ame were walking around aimlessly, enjoying each others company.
"Tsuki-Sama should be off of duty by now…." Ame murmured seeing the setting sun.
"She is and Neji is with her." Gaara said.
"How do you know that?" Ame asked curious.
"Well first because Tenshi got off from duty at noon and Neji told me earlier that he was going to spend as much time with her as he can a week ago." Gaara said smirking.
"How cute! Neji really loves her huh?" Ame said smiling.
"And Tenshi loves him back…." Gaara said sighing.
"That she does, on the rare chance that we both are off duty and we are at home, all she talks about is Neji! It's utterly adorable!" Ame said smiling hugely. "I was worried about her finding love because she's always so aloof, but she's finally found it. I hope everything just runs smoothly for her from here on out!"
"Ame, if I may ask….You and Tenshi are from the Village of the Moon right?" Gaara asked.
"Yeas, but you know that."
"I do, but I'm confused as to why you two are still here. Don't you want to be back at your village?" Gaara asked confused.
"Yes we would….But Tsunade-Sama has down so much for us. By sending that squad with Tsuki-Sama we were able to free our village from Orochimaru and Sasuke….So we both decided to stay seven months here." Ame explained.
"Why seven?"
"Because its Tsuki-Sama's lucky number, hopefully she'll return home with Neji has her lover." Ame said happily. Gaara was about to open his mouth when Lee and Neji ran past them looking very serious.
"NEJI!" Ame yelled. Neji slowed down and looked back at Ame and frowned.
"Training grounds!" He said before speeding back up.
"We should go find Tenshi; she's all by herself…." Ame sighed.
"Alright…." Gaara sighed. "But only if we take the long way and hold hands." He said smirking and grabbing her hand gently.
"….Fine…." Ame murmured blushing lightly as she squeezed his hand softly. They started heading towards the training grounds, taking their own sweet time.
At such training grounds, Tenshi was starting to nod off.
'Princess!'
A voice jolted Tenshi wide awake, the sun had sunk below the horizon, and she didn't see a moon, which make sense since it's a new moon.
'Princess! Behind you!'
The voice came again. Tenshi stood up quickly and looked behind her, she gasped when she saw Uchiha Itachi.
"Hello little girl…." Itachi smirked and walked towards her. Tenshi was frozen, his eyes were scaring her immensely, she had heard of the great Uchiha who had killed his entire clan and had been warned to never fight him and just run. "The Akatsuki has become greatly interested in you, would you be willing to join us quietly.
"HELL NO!" Tenshi yelled, she reached for her hidden needles and came up empty handed. Shit, she had left them on her bed in her haste to see Neji.
"Well I guess I'll have to destroy Konoha and everyone in it, The Hidden Village of Sand and everyone in it, The Village of the sun…."
"NO YOU DON'T!" Tenshi hissed, silver ringed her pupils and up in the moon the outer part of it had become clearly visible. "LEAVE THEM ALONE! THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ME!"
"On the contrary, their current leader should be dying soon; his daughter will be taking his place." Itachi smirked.
"No…." Tenshi breathed.
"Yes….Realta was it?" Itachi's smirk grew.
"I SAID LEAVE THEM OUT OF THIS!" She screamed. Tenshi dug her nails into her skin and dragged her nails down her arm so blood flowed freely; as the blood dripped from her arm she would freeze it and turn it into needles which she used to attack Itachi.
"Oh, that's why he wants you to join." Itachi said easily avoiding her attack; he grabbed her bleeding arm tightly and pulled her close. With his free hand he grabbed her chin and forced her to look up at his eyes.
"No…." Tenshi tried to get away but she could barely move. "NEJI!" She screamed, hoping and praying that her voice would reach someone.
'Ame-San!' A girl in all white appeared in front of Ame and Gaara.
"Why are you…." Ame breathed.
'Its Tsuki-Sama! You must hurry or Itachi will get her!' The girl said.
"NO!" Ame took off towards the training grounds, Gaara right behind her.
Neji was sitting on the ground in the Hyuuga compound, he had been told that he wasn't to see Tenshi again and that he should focus on his ANBU work and not some frivolous girl. He sighed heavily and looked up and saw a faint outline of the moon, he froze.
"Hinata isn't it a new moon tonight!" Neji called out getting to his feet.
"Oh? Yes it is…." Hinata said coming out. "That's weird; you shouldn't be able to see the moon…." She frowned. Neji went rigid he swore he heard the sound of his name being called faintly.
"Hinata I need to go!" Neji said taking off to the training grounds.
"Now now Tenshi….I will destroy all of the villages and people in them that matter to you, but only if you don't come quietly." Itachi said. He kept a firm grip on her chin and pulled a kunai out.
"No….I wont go…." Tenshi protested weakly, her fear was starting to show, her knees and hands were shaking and her skin was much paler then usual.
"I don't want to destroy the villages, not yet anyway….But I will if you just don't come qui-."
"TENSHI!" Neji screamed running into the clearing.
"TSUKI-SAMA!" Ame yelled running in with Gaara.
"Tch…." Itachi murmured. "Unwanted company…." He thrust the kunai into Tenshi's stomach and threw her over his shoulder. Tenshi coughed out blood and went limp, her vision was growing blurry but she mustered up the energy to glance up so she could see Neji.
"Neji…." She whispered trying to reach for him.
"TENSHI NO!" Neji yelled running to try and grab her. Itachi smirked and vanished with Tenshi, leaving no trace behind except for Tenshi's blood. Neji froze and stared at the spot they had vanished from. Ame did the same except she had tears in her eyes; Gaara pulled her into a hug and patted her head while looking over at Neji worried.
"We'll get her back…." Gaara said to both Neji and Ame. Neji didn't respond to Gaara's words, he fell to his knees in shock, just less then an hour ago Tenshi and himself had been announcing their love for each other and saying how they were going to love being with each other everyday. And in just a moment, that life had been taken away from him.
