OKay! So review and read, or read and review, which ever one feels more comfortable.
Disclaimer: I own NOTHING of Naruto, only MIYUKI
Miyuki's eyes opened, she couldn't move. She tried to move, feeling that her whole body was restrained, and she felt the stomach wound she had received sting with pain, causing a slight hissing sound to escape her lips. She closed her eyes, she could hear other people screams, and the beeping sounds of a heart machine.. She opened her eyes, seeing she was the one hooked up to the machine, which caused her heart to race in fear. She tried her best to look around, but even her head was restrained and it was dim, with only the light of the machine and a few candles, 'Where.. where am I?' She thought desperately.
A door opened, revealing a shadow figure, "Well.. Looks like the little Ryu survived.." A sinister voice said, "I guess you Ryu are much stronger than what they saw, hm Tatsu?"
"Who.. Where the hell am I?" She hissed to the person.
"You must have a short memory my dear.. You're at the place of the man you've been tracking so long.."
Her eyes widen, "Orochimaru..." She breathed out, then tried to release herself, but her chakra was so low.. 'Must be a seal...' She thought bitterly.
Orochimaru stepped next to the table, smirking, "You're quite a catch my dear, the others you were with were just puppets, nothing special."
She spit at him, "You don't even know what they were capable of snake!" She hissed.
He growled, then grabbed her chin tightly, "You my dear, better watch yourself, you're in my place, you're in my mercy, you better watch your words."
"Go to hell."
He smirked, chuckling a bit before letting her go, "You are quite an interesting one, Tatsu no Aku, maybe that will be the reason you just barely live." He finished as Kabuto walked in, holding a needle with green liquid inside the tube.
Miyuki watched helplessly as the serum was stabbed into her arm, and she instantly felt burning pain in her stomach, and the tears and screams escaped her lips.
Miyuki sat up with a jolt, she was sweating, and her eyes were panicked. She was taking deep breaths to calm her beating heart, she brought her hand up to her head, closing her eyes, 'A dream' she thought, 'It.. It was just a dream, nothing else.' She looked over to see the time. 5:30 in the morning.
She got up, walking over and changing into a pair of jeans, and a long sleeve that exposed one of her shoulders. She slipped her necklace and fingerless gloves. She walked out, rubbing her face a bit, she rather have a dream then actually be there again... She walked past Kakashi's room, and hesitated for a moment before going to the kitchen.
'I completely forgot..' She muttered in her mind, 'Rin.. I.. I did nothing to save her.. how could I have let her die? How could Kakashi not be mad as hell at me?' She thought fixing something to drink. She leaned against the counter, taking a sip, looking into nothing. 'I guess I'm going to have to push myself harder, to catch up for lost time..' she put the glass down, and scribbled something down before picking up a bag and heading off.
She found herself near the Memorial Stone, and she looked over there, seeing the stone, and her legs began to move. She stood in front of the stone, eyes lost in thought. Her eyes scanned over Obito's name, followed by her sensei's name, followed by Rin and Hiku's name. She unknowingly let her hand touch the cold stone, before turning and leaving to the training grounds.
She sat down, closing her eyes, and just listening and more importantly, clearing her mind. She felt the cool wind gentle wrap around her, the birds singing their morning songs, the sun's warmth start to come. Everything was peaceful, something she had missed for so long. She took even breaths, her muscles relaxing and her mind starting to go blank. It felt like it wasn't long until she heard footsteps.
Opening her eyes, she saw she had zoned out for a good four hours or more, she turned around seeing the hyperactive ninja. "Naruto, I didn't think you'd be out here."
"I got to get stronger Miyu-chan!" He said smiling, "Especially if I'm going to beat you." He said sitting next to her. "You.. You think you could teach me anything?"
She looked up, then stood up, "Yup, take you defensive stance." She said taking an offensive stance.
Naruto did as he was told, then just blocked a kick, followed by a near hit of the stomach, but was caught by a punch. Miyuki shook her head, "You haven't learned the basics." She said sadly.
"Who cares about the basic stuff, teach me the advanced stuff Miyu-chan!" Naruto whined standing back up.
"Naruto, the basic's are the building blocks to the advanced taijutsu techniques, master the basic's and you've practically mastered the advanced ones." She said taking the basic defensive stance. "Attack me."
Naruto once again did as he was told and she flawlessly dodged each one, only to grab Naruto's wrist at the last punch. "Understand?"
Naruto nodded, "And a simple defense can block almost anything!"
Miyuki let go of his wrist, then took a step back, "Exactly, a good defense is the best offense. In a battle, it doesn't always matter who knows the most advanced techniques, it matters on the basic's that you learned to defeat said techniques. Why do you think the teachers drill the basic's so much Naruto?" She said softly.
"I thought it was just to bore us, that's why I never came most of the time." Naruto said bluntly.
Miyuki only frown and shook her head, "I have a lot of work to do, don't I?"
"Yup!" Naruto said laughing.
Miyuki only gave a slight chuckled before continuing with the task of hand.
It was late afternoon before the two stopped, Miyuki realized that Naruto was a quick learner, despite being a knuckle head, and she was surprised at the chakra he held. She looked to the sky, "That's enough for today Naruto, go home and rest."
"Um, Miyuki, I have a question for you." He said seriously, Miyuki looked at him, and he continued, "Um, well, Kakashi-sensei told us that we could do the Chounin Exams, and well, you think I'm ready?"
Miyuki blinked a bit, 'Kakashi's putting them up for the Exams already?' She looked away, "Well, you learn fast Naruto, yet you overlook the small things, I think if you keep your eyes open you'll do just fine." She felt something wrap around her, and looking down she saw it was Naruto.
"Really Miyu-chan?! Oh you're so awesome! I'm going to fill the sheet out right now!" He said taking off.
Miyuki shook her head, "Oh that boy, what will I do with him.." She muttered under her breath before giving a slight smirk, "He'll do fine though." She sighed a bit, running her fingers through her long hair, wondering what to do. 'I could tour for a while, I haven't seen Kurinai and Asuma for a long time, but I should stop in to see the Hokage first, to open the scroll.' She thought picking up her bag, then disappearing.
