"Mayumi-chan you're not doing it right?"
"Then you do it!" Mayumi snapped at Ino.
"Fine! I will!" Ino growled.
The blonde moved the Hatake out of her way and started to wash Akamaru. The puppy squirmed and cried for help. Knowing Kiba of course he never gave his dog a bath...so the girls kidnapped the animal.
"Ino-chan! You're hurting him!"
"Oh and like you weren't?"
Mayumi growled, "Look Ino-chan I have to go soon."
"Just leave now!"
"Fine!"
She turned quickly and stormed out of the house. The girls had been on each other's bad sides for the whole day. No matter what they did to try and change it they still continued to argue. Of course they'd get over it soon but still...it hurt slightly.
*Sasuke's p.o.v*
I walked down the street with my hands in my pockets. Kakashi had asked us all to go to the training grounds around three. I hated taking orders from that man, but there was nothing I could about it at the moment. And Naruto, annoying as hell to be around, I was slowly starting to respect. Of course I'd never tell him that aloud. Sakura...no nothing had changed there, the only difference was that I could now get information from her. Mayumi, annoying at times and- Who the hell was that guy who was flowing Mayumi. He has his hood pulled up and he watching her, waiting around corners to see which way she goes. He looked my way for a minute only to receive a glare from me. He seems unfazed by this and continues to follow her. I'm about to turn away when sudden he grabs her.
*Normal*
Mayumi tried to cry out as someone grabbed her. The arms locked firmly around her.
"Shut up if you don't want to be hurt..."
The voice was male. Why should she listen to him anyways? Was he not kidnapping her? He poofed away with her. They reappeared on the outside of the village. He released her slightly only to take her hand and drag her. His grip was to tight for her to pull out of no matter how hard she tried. She hadn't even seen his face that alone made everything frustrating. Mayumi no longer tried to scream seeing as no one would be able to hear her. But then again...
"You evil burrito let me go!"
He looked back at her, he wore sunglasses so that she couldn't see his eyes, and there was no forehead protector to tell her where he was from.
"I said let me go now! I mean it! I'll cook you in the oven and feed you to my Otou-san like the burrito you are!"
"...As you wish, but follow closely."
He did as she had asked and released her hand. Mayumi made a face and ran in the opposite direction. Did he really think that she would follow him to were ever it was he was taking her? Running faster she cried out. She could hear his footsteps behind her, slowly but surely gaining ground. Letting out a scream she was pulled off to the side. Quickly she pulled out a kunai only to be stopped right before it impaled Sasuke in the face.
"Sasuke-san?"
"..."
Mayumi stared at him and pulled her arm away from him.
"Who was following you?"
"Some burrito... But to tell you the truth he didn't smell like one."
Sasuke shook his head, "Is he still following you?"
A kunai hit a tree right to Sasuke.
"Uh huh!"
Mayumi grabbed his hand and pulled him along, once again running through the trees. They ran for what felt like almost an hour, both of them wondering if they were headed in the right direction. A smiled spread across Mayumi's face when she noticed Kakashi standing in front of them.
"Otou-san!" She cried as she hugged his waist.
Kakashi stared down at his daughter, his eye tearing up causing the Uchiha to eye him suspiciously.
"Kakashi-san..."
Mayumi looked back quickly at the voice and once again seen the man behind them, "Otou-san he tried to kidnap me! He's a stupid evil burrito who needs to-"
"Mayumi-chan that's enough," Kakashi told her.
Sasuke turned around quickly and glared at the man who was behind him. The man flinched when he seen the sharingan blazing in Sasuke's eyes.
"Kakashi-san..."
Kakashi sighed and pushed Mayumi into the man's hands, "Mayumi-chan you have to go with this man."
She stared wide eyed at her father, "...No! Why?"
"He... He's you're uncle Mayumi-chan, on you're mother's side."
"...Why didn't you tell me-"
"Because no one knew, they have no loyalties, they train in their own ways and they refuse to help Konoha..." Kakashi explained, looking down at her sadly. "They didn't know you were alive until one of their spies saw you with Ino, shopping. They didn't care really, but they weren't going to let one of their own go on living in Konoha-"
"I won't let him take her!" Sasuke snapped at his Sensei.
The man pulled off his hood down revealing a long mass of bright blue hair. He reached out towards her, offering her his hand, and a world she had no wish to join.
Sasuke angrily slapped the man's hand away, "No! She's staying here!"
"Sasuke we have to let them take her, or else they might bring war to Konoha..."
*Two weeks later*
"Oh come on Mayumi-chan is that the best you can do?"
Mayumi shot a hard glare at her cousin, "Shut you lint licker!"
Hikaru laughed at her and brushed his blue hair out of his eyes, "And here I thought Konoha would have made you tough!"
"Take that back!"
Mayumi angrily knocked him to the ground, "Naruto-san's the strongest person in the world and Konoha thought him!" She balled her hands into fists and punched him in the stomach multiple times. "Don't ever say anything bad about Konoha again!"
"You stupid whore get off of me!" Hikaru yelled at her.
Azami stopped suddenly and pulled Mayumi away from from her brother, "Would you to knock that off!"
"Azami, tell Otou-san I refuse you marry her, not only is she annoying and stupid but her blood is tainted."
With that Hikaru stuck his nose in the air and walked away angrily. Azami looked at her cousin then shook her head, her own blue hair hiding her big blue eyes. When Mayumi had arrived she took note that everyone within the walls had bright blue hair and matching eyes. Only Mayumi had lavender ones that she guessed had to be from her real father. No one said anything nice to her either. They only told her how her mother had refused to marry into the Arakaki clan, her own. It was the way the clan did it, in order to keep their bloodline strong. But her mother, Kaya, had fallen in love with an outsider from Konoha. After she ran off to be with the man the Arakaki disowned her immediately. Even when they got word of her death they refused to go after her body, only did they return when they learned of her having a daughter. And there was on way they were going to allow some of their blood, no matter how un pure, to run freely.
Mayumi also learned that they had separated themselves from Konoha long ago because they felt that they were better then the rest of the lot.
"Mayumi-chan you should apologize to Onii-chan. He's been nothing but nice to you," Azami told her.
"Yeah right! He's a stupid boy who thinks he can control me because we're supposed to get married well guess what! It's not going to happen so he had better go find himself a nice looking burrito and eat it!"
Mayumi pushed herself up and stormed away, never in her life had she thought that she could hate her family so much. She bit her lip as Hikaru walked back outside.
He glared at her, "Bad news baka, Otou-san refused my offer. You're still my future wife."
"Oh shut you're monkey!"
He grabbed her arms roughly, "Listen here shorty I don't like this anymore then you do! But you should feel lucky that you'll have me as a husband! And you should be happier that I'm willing to take on you're filthy blood!"
Mayumi sneered, "You better watch out I might bleed on you and taint your perfectness."
She pushed herself away from him and walked angrily away, for once she'd rather be with Sakura, heck she'd rather live with Sakura then stay with her clan.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"To my bed room you creep!"
"You can't, and stop calling me a creep you-"
"No!" Mayumi hissed. "I seen you watching the other day by the creek when I was swimming!"
His cheeks turned a soft shade of pink which looked out of place on his pale face, "I did no such thing!"
"Lair!"
He raised his hand and sharply slapped her across the face. Mayumi stood in shock and stared at him. Hikaru's glare and pink face told her that she had crossed the line. She looked down quickly, falling slight.
"... Why can't I go to my room?"
"Because Otou-san said that there will be no more running to your room when you're angry."
She glared at him yet again, "Bug. Off. Before. I. Eat. You!"
With that said she stormed off, no longer caring about the trouble she would get herself in.
*About three months or so later*
(A/N: I can't remember how long the Chuunin Exams lasted so I'm guessing and this goes past the invasion of Konoha as well)
Mayumi ran happily through the streets of Konoha after Hikaru had given her permission. The first thing on her list to do was see Naruto. However when she knocked on his door no one answered. She shrugged her shoulders and ran towards her old home. Her blue hair had slightly so that it now was just below her shoulders. She'd learned a few more tricks from her cousins but still was no were near were she should be in strength. Slowly she was getting used to the name Arakaki Mayumi but she still found it foreign on her tongue. She pushed the door open happily.
"Otou-san I'm home!"
After looking around the house she took note that no one was home. She shrugged her shoulders and sighed, she'd run out of time. She left the house and began to walk back to the gate to meet up with Hikaru when she noticed a silver haired man. A smiled came to her face as she ran towards her father. Her heart blocked out the fact that he was being held up and that there were two people in cloaks standing in front of them.
"Otou-san!" She cried happily, quickly remembering that he was on the water and that she couldn't get across.
Asuma looked back at her then to Gai who was helping Kurenai hold Kakashi up, "What are you gonna do now?"
"Kurenai! Take Kakashi to the Medical Treatment Center," Gai told her. "Asuma will be my support. I've already arranged for reinforcements. For now, we will take them on here."
"Aren't you brave..." The shark-like man said as he raised his sword.
The dark haired man's eyes flickered to Mayumi then back to the Jonin, "Kisame... Stop it. We did not come here to start a war... Regrettably, this is nothing more than nonsense. Let's leave."
"With this much trouble. It is unavoidable."
Kisame noticed how his partner's eyes seemed to keep flickering towards the blue-haired girl who now watching. They both disappeared but before they left completely Kisame took hold of the girl, bring her with them.
Itachi looked at his partner who holding onto a squirming girl. She angrily cussed at him and hit him in the stomach not realizing that everything she did made no point at all.
Kisame looked at him, "I seen you watching her."
Mayumi looked up at him, "You're not some crazy old stalker are you?"
Itachi raised an eyebrow at her, "Old?"
"Yeah you have wrinkles... Hey are you that old fart that Sasuke-san kept saying he wanted to kill?"
"..."
"Do you want me to kill her Itachi-san?" Kisame asked placing his sword to her throat.
"No... She could be good bait for the Nine-Tails."
Itachi looked away from them.
"Kisame put her down, she has no were to run anyways."
The shark-like man shrugged his shoulders and dropped Mayumi onto the ground.
She pushed herself up and looked at Itachi, "Hey Fart-chan why are you so boring?"
"..."
"That's not an answer!"
"..."
"Ugh!"
Mayumi growled and plopped down onto a rock, crossing her legs in frustration. Kisame looked over at her then to Itachi.
"Itachi-san your child looks bored."
Mayumi looked up at him with big eyes, "Otou-san!"
She and Kisame broke out in laughter while the Uchiha rolled his eyes. It had been about a day since they had left Konoha to find the Nine-Tails and Mayumi and Kisame were getting alone perfectly. It wasn't surprising that they turned their jokes to the Uchiha which Mayumi had yet to recognize.
"Oh that was good," Kisame finally said after laughing. "Itachi-san I'll be right back, I gotta piss."
Mayumi made a face, "Didn't need to know that."
The blue man laughed away and walked away from the other too.
Mayumi moved closer to Itachi, "Soooo, Fart-chan...how many fingers am I holding up?"
Itachi looked at her, glaring.
She dropped her hand, "Fine fine no more game, geez you old geezer."
"...Mayumi, enough."
"Oh wow you talked to me... You know I would write that down but you TOOK MY NOTE BOOK!"
She pushed angrily, "I want it back fartmaster!"
Itachi glared at her, "..."
"What you can't say anything to that you old ass watermelon!"
"Mayumi language."
She looked away from him, still wanting her tablet back.
"Please?"
"..."
"Pretty pretty please?"
"..."
"Pretty pretty please with a cherry on top?"
"..."
"...Pee pee head."
Itachi looked at her, "You are immature."
"I know!" Mayumi giggled.
"Aww did Itachi flirt with his daughter?" Kisame asked as he walked back towards them.
Mayumi's eyes widened, "That's child abuse and that makes you a pedophile Fart-chan."
*About two days later*
"However... Could this child really be the Nine-Tails..." Kisame spoke from behind Itachi.
"Naruto-kun," Itachi spoke, ignoring his partner. "We would like you to come with us. Come out of the room."
Naruto stepped out of the door way when he noticed Mayumi standing behind them.
"Uhhh... Itachi-san... It's time we got started... We don't need him running around. We should cut off a leg," Kisame spoke.
Itachi stared at Naruto for a short moment.
"I think not!" Mayumi snapped only to have Kisame hit her on the back of the head.
"Well, Itachi-san?"
"...It has been awhile... Sasuke."
Mayumi and Kisame both turned around quickly.
"Uchiha Itachi..."
Mayumi looked up at Itachi wide eyed, "I knew I'd seen you before..."
"Hehehe...indeed, today is a special day don't you think? This is the second time I've seen another Sharingan," Kisame told her.
"I will...Kill You!" Sasuke told his brother, shooting a glare at him full of hate which caused Mayumi to shake slightly, what had she missed while she was gone?
"Heh... Sharingan. You seem to be familiar with Itachi-san... Who is this guy?"
"He is my...younger brother," Itachi told Kisame.
"...I heard the entire Uchiha clan was wiped out...by you," Kisame said, looking at his partner.
Itachi finally turned to his little brother, both of them, their sharingan blazing in their eyes. Mayumi pushed herself past the Akatsuki members so that she was next to Naruto. Sasuke let out a loud scream as his started to form electricity around it that Mayumi had never seen before.
"I've been wanting to say this you... I lived hating you... And also that I lived only to kill you... I have lived for this!" Sasuke shouted angrily at his brother, pulling at his shirt collar.
"Chidori..." Itachi mumbled.
Sasuke put his arms out allowing the flow of electricity run across the wall as he charged at his brother. Mayumi turned her head away quickly as to not see what would happen. Suddenly she felt something strange and backed away from Naruto and against the wall.
"This bastard!" Sasuke said to his brother.
Mayumi's eyes flew open when she heard a loud snap.
"You're in the way..." Itachi told him.
Sasuke let out a loud scream and dropped to ground hiding his now broken wrist.
"Sasuke-san!" Mayumi screamed.
"Damn it!" Naruto cursed as he started to do a jutsu.
"Too late!" Kisame told him, raising his blade.
"Crap! Crap! What' s going on!" Naruto asked.
"My "Samehada"", Kisame said, referring to his sword, "eats up Chakra! Now that your jutsu is gone, you shouldn't be any more trouble... First of all... Should I chop off a leg or cut off an arm?"
Mayumi stared wide eyed when a frog suddenly appeared in front of Naruto right before Kisame's blade hit him.
"You don't seem to know very much about me..." Said an old man who now stood behind Naruto. "I'm better at getting girls than they are trying to get me. Even though it doesn't look like it. It's my...specialty. I, Jiraiya, this epitome of manliness! I will fall for no woman's feminine wiles! When you're someone like me, you'll only have to flash that sexiness to have women fall at your feet!"
Everyone fell silent at Jiraiya's random out burst. (A/N: My sister was going to name her baby Jiraiya... :( poor baby)
Naruto shot a glare at him, "Oh yeah? That girl just winked at ya and you were scampering after her! And now you're trying to look all cool and classy! You pervy Sennin!"
"Hey!" Jiraiya snapped. "Can't you stop calling me that in front of others?"
"Screw that!" Naruto told him. "It's those guys over there we should be worrying about, pervy Sennin!"
"Hehe..." Kisame laughed. "So it's one of the Legendary Three Ninjas, The Great Jiraiya, eh? You like beautiful women but we weren't think that such a simple method could successfully stall you anyway..."
"You guys know the pervy Sennin's "real" identity?"
"Er..." Jiraiya told him, "Not really, I wouldn't call that a "real" identity..."
"In any case, it seems you have already undone the Genjutsu binding the woman," Kisame spoke.
"You guys wanted to draw me away so you used the sharingan to cast Genjutsu on the woman, huh?" Jiraiya asked. "Not a very manly way of doing things." He laid the woman against the way opposite of Mayumi. "So you really are after Naruto..."
"No wonder Kakashi knew about this... You were the source of information..." Itachi muttered. "To abduct Naruto... Those were the orders given to us by the higher echelons of our organization, "Akatsuki"."
Everyone stood quietly, no one person made a sound. The frog that had stood in front of Naruto disappeared.
"...You won't get Naruto," Jiraiya assured them.
"And why not?" Itachi asked.
"Because right now, right here, you two will die by my hand."
"Don't do it."
Every looked over Sasuke to find him pushing himself up.
"This guy... IS MINE!" Sasuke growled.
They stared until Itachi said, "...I have absolutely no interest in you right now."
"Naruto! I told you...don't!" Sasuke snapped from his spot, the cursed seal slowly spreading across his arm. "THIS FIGHT IS MINE." He growled.
Itachi shot a glare a Sasuke and walked towards him.
When Itachi got in front of him Sasuke snapped forward, "COME ON!"
Itachi hit him in the chest causing him to fall over, that was then proceeded with an elbow on the back of his neck only to get kneed in the chin when he started to fall, and finally punched in the stomach and up against the wall.
Mayumi stared wide eyed at him, her heart thumping painfully in her chest.
"No mercy at all..." Kisame said, smiling.
Naruto growled angrily.
Sasuke feel to the ground only to have Itachi pick him up and pinned him to the wall by his throat. Mayumi watched as his eyes went wide and he started to scream.
"Itachi, I advise you against using your eye so many times in a single day..." Kisame told his partner.
"Assholes!" Naruto cried as he charged forward.
Kisame quickly took to following him. Suddenly Jiraiya did a jutsu making the whole room soft and squishy.
"Ninpou Gama Guchi Shibari*!" Jiraiya said. *Ninjutsu- Toad Mouth Bind
Itachi removed his hand from Sasuke's neck only for the boy to be held up by the wall.
"Too bad, Itachi... Kisame. You are already inside my stomach!" Jiraiya told them.
Itachi turned to his brother, "Why are you weak... Still not enough... Hatefulness..."
"Black magic to summon the esophagus of the giant toad from Myouki Mountain, Rock Inn. You wanted criminal, hope you enjoy being food to Iwagama!" Jiraiya told them.
"Wha... What the is going on here?" Naruto asked.
"Naruto, stay still!" Jiraiya ordered him. "Don't worry, it's just my jutsu!"
"Kisame, come!" Itachi snapped at his partner.
"Shit!" Kisame cussed as he pulled his sword out of the funky stuff.
"No one sneaks away without my awareness from here!" Jiraiya assured them.
The two Akatsuki ran quickly towards the closing exit.
"Those walls are swift," Kisame mumbled. "At this rate..."
Jiraiya's eyes went wide as he charged forward. The old Sennin and blonde looked around the corner only to see a whole burnt through the side.
"They're gone!" Naruto declared.
Mayumi looked at Sasuke and quickly ran over to him, ignoring the other two. What had she missed? The boys eyes were open but he didn't make any sighs of being awake. She looked back when she heard Jiraiya.
"All right! Well now, everyone okay after that?"
Naruto nodded.
"I'm okay, but Sasuke-san..." Mayumi mumbled.
"Sasuke!" Naruto snapped around and ran towards him.
The wall went back to normal and the two genin lowered him to the ground. He stared down, not looking around. Naruto stared at him as if he was about to say something but was stopped as a kunai flew past them and next to Jiraiya. Suddenly Gai appeared as he stared to attack Jiraiya. Mayumi hid her face in Sasuke's shirt and clung to him, trying her hardest not to laugh.
"You see that Sasuke-san," she giggled. "I'm not the only stupid person in the world."
*Later*
"Oh no... Sorry for the direct attack... I was in a rush with using my forehead protector as a mirror... And didn't mean it... Haha... The forehead protector didn't give a clear enough picture, and so I hit your face by accident..." Gai told him.
"You didn't to it on purpose?" Jiraiya asked. "Well, that's alright them. Anyway, Sasuke needs to get to the hospital... He seems to have gotten a fractured rib... And for some reason the pupil Jutsu caused a mind attack to make lose his senses."
Mayumi sat on the ground next to him, talking and flirting a little bit after she heard that he couldn't hear her.
"Pervert Sennin!" Naruto asked suddenly. "Sasuke... Is he going to be okay?"
"...He took a tolerable amount of mental damage..." Jiraiya told him.
"Damn it," Naruto cussed. "What the hell! What did that guy do to Sasuke! Pervert Sennin, what do you say! A change in plans...! Some time ago, it wouldn't mean anything... But not this time. Time to track down those "Black Mantle" Men! I will take care of business with that guy, and since that's the case I'm going after him!"
"Humph. You go after him right now, and you'll be killed... That guy's on a whole different level. He came because of you... His distance is the only thing stopping him form-" Jiraiya was cut off as Naruto started to shout.
"Well! What kind of guy always escapes! Everyday being fearful, living in a Nightmare-"
"Shut up for a minute," The Sennin glared at him. "You are weak..."
Mayumi tried her hardest not to defend Naruto and instead played with Sasuke's bangs, "Man you need a hair cut." She looked down at her own, "Man I need a hair cut."
"Excuse me..." Jiraiya looked away from him and to Gai. "Gai, this child's feeling are understandable, but... We still must quickly rescue Sasuke..."
"Now..." Gai muttered. "Kakashi also has approximately the same jutsu. He stays in bed until his senses return to normal."
"Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto snapped.
"When students are injured... Well, this time I think it's harmed his mind... Medical Care Specialists should be around in case this should continue to happen... Don't you think."
"...So... To go searching for that person..." Jiraiya said, looking over at him.
"That person... Could it be..." Gai gasped.
"She is one of the three nins like me. This will work as payment for the illness..."
*Later*
Gai, Naruto, Mayumi, Sasuke, and Jiraiya stood outside of the small village. Naruto stared sadly at Sasuke who was on Gai's shoulder then to Mayumi who would be going back to the Leaf to meet up her clan.
"Jiraiya-sama..." Gai said, looking up. "Please find Tsunade-sama... And bring her back to us!"
"Don't cha worry we'll find her!" Naruto assured him. "Take care of Sasuke and Mayumi, Mr. Thick-brows!"
"Naruto!" Gai smiled. "You've got guts; I like kids like that! Here, I'm giving this to you! This is the reason why Lee is strong..."
"Eh? What? What?"
Gai pulled out a green jumpsuit, "This!"
After that Mayumi tuned him out, and suddenly found interest in Jiraiya's hair. She sneaked up behind him and put her hands in the long whit hair. A smiled spread across her face, she pulled at it slightly.
Gai motioned to Mayumi and the three departed.
Mayumi stayed and watched Sasuke as long as Hikaru would allow her. Every once in awhile she would rest her head against his chest and pretend, that it was like before, when they were kids. She even found herself cuddling up next to him one night. Of course she left the room when the nurses decided to change his clothing of wash him down. Everyone recognized her now and when she walked by they would ask if Sasuke needed anything and she would ask for ever she thought he might need. Sakura had started showing up and during her visits she would help fill Mayumi in on what she had missed.
"Mayumi-chan?" Hikaru asked opening the door slightly to find her brushing the boy's messy hair.
"Huh?"
"It's time to go... Otou-san wants us back."
She smiled at Sasuke, "Kay." She ran the brush through his hair once more before leaning towards his ear, "I care about...you..."
Okay that was chapter sixteen. You know that whole scene with Itachi and Sasuke and that crap. Well I was thinking, they're in a hotel and yet no one comes out and yells at them to "keep it down". Oh the great mind of Kishimoto-sensei! Anyways please review and I will update sooner because I know what I'm doing for the next chapter! Thank you to all you AMAZING people who have reviewed.
