Chapter 5:
The Key of Balances.
(Naru POV's)
~Dream.~
I stood in a garden of flower crystals around me in all color. I look at them with admiration of their beauty before I look at the sky. The sky was black and white and the sun was out as well as the moon. The sun was gold and the moon was silver. And round them, dance so happily was silver and gold stars. I feel like I been here before. Why do I feel happy yet sad when I look around me? My feet start to walk down the clear white path that keep the garden from merge together. I walk til I get to the end of the path, where five ruin gold-white statue poles in circle with the garden of colorful crystal flower at background.
In the center of them, was two stone branch, sit on one of them was a beautiful female. She have long wavy silver hair with black highlights that almost touch the ground. I can't see all her face because its was mostly cover to her nose by black veil with silver moons around it and counted by white-gold stars' shape chain. But there is a star mark on top of her head and her eyes were blue that can rival the sky and the sea. She wears white black long losses' sleeves, which go off the shoulders to show a gold sun mark on the right and a silver moon mark on the left, dress that tie by the waist with a gold swath. At the waist its are losses at the bottom and if you look closely, you can see that she is bare foot.
Something inside of me lift up when I see her and the needed to go to her was strong. I walk up to her and sit in fount of her. "Who are you and why I do feel I know you?" I ask her as I stare at her. She look at me with sadness, wisdom, and kindness. "I call myself Twilight. We know each other yet we do not." I hear Twilight said as she smile with her eyes in a way that remind of Kakashi. We know each other yet we do not.
"What do you mean?" I said to her.
"You will understand in time, Naruto-chan." She told happily. How do she know my name. I don't tell her anything. "The wind of magic told me and I have already know you name before we even meet." She explain before she turn and stare at the flowers with tenderness ans sadness. "I remember the time when children use to run around in this garden with happiness and love. When there was peace and everyone get along. But now that just a memory."
"What do you mean?" I ask her as I take a look around the garden. How could this beautiful place be just a memory? Where do the people go then?
Twilight look at me longing and sadness. "This place that you see around is a memory of what once was. Before it was destroy and all was lost." She close her eyes tightly. "And I am the only one who truly remember." She said with sadness that can broken one heart if they hear it. I know that it hurt badly and I want to comfort her if I can."What happen then?" I ask as I take her hands and hold them tightly
"I don't wish to talk about it." She told painfully as she open her eyes that shine brightly and look at me with unsheathed tears. "One day I will tell you. But for now, I want to give you something that you will need very soon." Then small colorful lights come around us. I look at them with wonder before I remember what she said. Something I will need very soon.
"I fear that in the near future something will happen in Tomoeda that will put lives in dangers." She look at me serious. Lives in danger?! We just get out war and I don't want to be in another. But also I don't want to other life to be kill again. The pain to lose a love one is too much. If something happen to any innocent and I do nothing to stop it, I will never forgive myself and look at my family and friends in face if we meet again. "I know you don't want to fight another war. I wish you will not either but it out my hand. I can't come and stop it myself if I want to. That why I'm asking you for your help. You have just begun learn about magic and you will need something to help you control your magic and spells with. That why I am give you this." Twilight said as she put both of our hands them together. Her hands start to glow white-black and then its slow die down til it was gone. She move her hands to show a key that is orange, silver, black, and yellow in my hands. The orange sun is on top of the sliver crescent moon, while a yellow star at the tip of the sun, the bottom of the is orange with black lines cross together til the end of the key. Why will she give me a key?
"This is no ordinary key. This your magic staff that you use your magic with. Right now it in seal mode. You must make a contact to be able to use it. Are you willing to do so?" She ask as she look at me as she hold out the key to me.
"I won't forgive myself if I don't do something. The others will be mad but they will also understand why I am doing it." I said as I close my eyes for a moment before I open them and stare at seriously at her as I take the key from her. "What do I need to do?"She smile at me and said as we both stand up. "Hold out the key and repeat after me." I nodded as I hold out the key.
She begun the chant."Key that hide and hold the balance of chaos, harmony, and cosmos."
"Key that hide and hold the balance of chaos, harmony, and the cosmos!" I repeat the chant as the magic begin to materialize around me in blue bright light and wind.
"Awaking to your true structure."
"Awaking to your true structure!"
"By the covenant, I, say your full name, command you.
Release."
"By the covenant, I, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, command you!
Release!" After I finish saying, the wind and magic over me and change the key in to a staff. If the key was unique in it seal, then release form was something else.
The staff is 6' feet tall, at sun is still on top of the crescent moon but it have dark orange gem in it. The star on tip of the sun is gold small half circle that stick together on inside of the silver moon. On both tips of both sides of the silver crescent moon is one black chain of yellow stars. The body of the staff was orange with with black lines cross together til the end of staff, where the wave half silver-yellow sun with black gem at the bottom. It was beautiful and match me perfectly. Once I grab a hold of it, I know this belong to me and no once else.
"When you wake up the key will be round your neck. Also you will need some guardians too." She look thoughtful. "Guardians?" I ask her and she nodded her head. "Someone who have to a lot of magic like you, need a guardian for yourself, others, or something you want to be protection." she reply back to me as she sit back down"You will need a sun guardian, a moon guardian, and something that no one I know so far never create, a star guardian."
How am I go to create them and what for? I don't want to be anyone's master. If I am going to make them, I want to be their friend and let them do what they want do. I refuse to control them.
"Don't worry, Naruto-chan. They will have a will of their own. Two of them, you already know. The sun guardian who been with you since birth and the moon guardian is closely bond to one of your friends and earn second chance in life for all he have done. You will meet him soon. The star guardian is waiting for you to create and realize something." The only who I that have with me since I was born is Kurama. I don't think I can make him as my sun guardian. I don't want him to be control by anyone or to hurt anyone. I can trust Kurama, but I also worry about him too. I don't think he want be it either.
I won't mind, Kit I can't ask you to do that. You are already seal in me. Naruto. You are the only one of two have want to be my friend and worry about me. You know I done things that most hate me for. Hell I even cost your childhood. But you still is will to let gone of the past and only use my power for other. Well most time. I don't mind be your guardian.
"Kyuubi who was seal in since birth will be your sun guardian. Kyuubi will still be seal but he can come out any time as long it is fine with you. when he not fight, he will be small fox with one-tail. He can still use his power in that form too but not as much as he use to. He will also be size of human in fox/guardian form and look different when he is in guardian form too." Twilight said to me. But I think she also said that to Kurama too. It a good deal, kit. I can by you side and seen what have changes in the world. Thought I don't like to be small or have half of power but I can understand why I can't. Is it really what you want, Kurama? I won't force you. It what I want and you can't change my mind even if you want too.
"I will take Kyuubi no Kitsune as my sun guardian. But he will also have a new name in his guardian form. His name will be Chaos Sun. Because he is my sun and chaos into one. As the first words of my release say, Key that hide and hold the balance of chaos, harmony, and cosmos." I told both her and Kurama. I know that name is important and fit Kurama the most. I want him safe if someone try to control him. Chaos Sun is a interest choice for a name. I will make sure to live up to it, kit. I know you will, Kurama."The moon guardian will come soon. But it seem it time for you to wake up." She said as the world start to blur out. "You will meet people who is very powerful and will help you with your magic and what will come soon. You can trust them to help. Til we meet again." I hear Twilight's voice say before everything turn dark.
~Dream end.~
I hear my alarm clock ring as I open my eyes and slam it. Crack. I seem like I have break the clock again. This the fifth one this week. I am going to get a earache when Iruka find out. He even told me if broke another one, he will take cut my allowance to buy a new one. I turn to my window and groan as the sunbeam hit my face. I turn away and try to go back to sleep.
"Kit, stop moving around. I am trying to get some sleep here. But I can't with you move around on the bed." I hear Kurama mummer to me. "Ok, Kurama." I said back with my eyes as I slip deeper in my bed.
Wait minute. Kurama in my bed? I open eyes as I quickly sit up and look down to small orange-crimson fox at the foot of my bed. He also wear a black collar around his neck with red sun that also have the word 'Seal' on it. I stare at him for few moment before I blink.
"The dream I just have is not a dream. Is it?" I spoke out loud. Kurama snort at me."Ya think." He said as he open his eyes and flex his muscles around before he sit up and glare. "It's seem I won't be going to sleep anytime soon."
Rubbing back of my head. "I'm sorry about that, Kurama.," I apologize. "But it better for us to get up before one of the guys come in and see you there." I move over to the edge of the bed and place my feet on the floor. I shiver as my feet made contact on the floor. I stood up and walk to the orange-crimson chair at the counter of the left side of the window, where I place the cloths I will wore today.
I look over my shoulder. "I am going to take shower. You have to hide and stay out sight if anyone came in here. I want to tell them when we go downstairs together." I told as pick up them up and walk into my bathroom to take shower.
~Fifteen minutes later.~
I walk out the bathroom and stand at front of my tall mirror. I wore a dark blue sleeveless tight shirt with black belt that where on my stomach and also have a dark blue crescent moon on top of it, black jump-jeans with dark blue shoes. I see a black choker with three silver-black chains, one on the left and one on the right connect together in the middle where third chain and hang on third chain were the key I saw in the dream. I pull most of hair up as I tie them in a hair high ponytail with black ribbon, I let loose long strings of hairs on each side of my face.
I turn to Kurama and see him read one of the forbidden scrolls I take out the safe last night. "Should I be fear of what you read these for?" I walk over him and sit down. "Just looking at them. I am surprise how far you human create and last so long." He told as he roll the scroll back up and tie it. I smile at him as I pick him up and place him on my lap.
"I can said that we human can make the most extraordinary things. But how we use for is the other matter that we all have to decide." I start to scratch Kurama at his left ear. He purr as he rub into my hand. So cute. I am not cute. I guess we still can speak in our mind. But you are cute in the most adorable and dangerously way. Fine. I see his fur turn a dark shad. But if anyone ask, I denial it completely, kit. I know you will. I stop scratch his ear and stood up with him in arm. "We better get downstairs already. They already going be mad that I have sleep in late again." I start to walk out the door and in to the hallway. "And w hat we have told them will make them even madder." I turn to the left to the stairs and start to walk down.
We live two hours way drive from town and the marketplace where our shop is at. Our house is blue-white three-stories mansion that was also in the forest from town.
There are total of twenty-five rooms in the mansion. Sixteen bedrooms with own bathrooms, eight bedrooms each on second and third floors. One bathroom on each floor of the mansion, meeting room and hiding room on the third floor. A music room, an art and craft room, and game room on the second floor. A kitchen, living room, and diner room on the first floor. The garden and the greenhouse that we use to glow our plants of food and herbals for medicals and drinks is in the back lawn.
We also have secret underground under the house. I haven't told anyone yet. But I am planing to turn it into a training-ground as surprise for them. Til then it my hiding place when I want alone time.
"I was about to get you, Naruto." Iruka said as he stand by the stairs way. I smile at him as I walk the down last step. "Good morning, Iruka-sensei." I told him as we walk to the diner room.
I guess he don't ask about Kurama yet. Because I know he can see him in my arm. He may have thought I brought in another animal in the house for awhile before take back in the forest. I hope he and other don't react badly about this once they find out the truth.
We walk into the diner room with everyone else sit down at the table. I went to chair at the head of the table with Sasuke on the left side of me with Sakura and Hinata, Gaara on the right side of me with Shikamaru and Kakashi. Iruka took his sat by Kakashi as I sit down and put Kurama on my lap as everyone pass the food around.
"Why is a fox at the table?" I hear Sasuke's voice ask as I feed a piece of my sausages to Kurama. I look at him and before I could say anythings, Kurama reply for him."Because the kit here, have something to talk you and I am part of it, human." Everyone pause from eating before turn at Kurama and me with 'what the hell' look.
Sigh. I have lot of explaining to do now.
Thank a lot Kurama. You welcome kit.
(Sakura K. POV's )
~Friday's after-school at Study Hall.~
It's been two days since Yue told us about this person being already here on Tuesday. He told about the cafe and the people he meet always met so far. I want us go met them sooner. But we have all been busies these couple days after school. Good thing that we going over there later to day.
"What are you thinking about, Sakura." I hear Syaoran ask. I turn to him and smile. "Nothing much. I just thought about what Yue told us."
Syaoran narrow his eyes as he lean back. "Everyone was. I wish we have more time to prepare before they come here." That just like Syaoran to be worry and serious about this. I know that I should be more suspicious about this. But I have feeling that we don't need to worry. I hope that everything go alright.
"Syaoran-kun." I garb his hand and hold it tight. "We been through worst things and we came out of them ok. Just have a little faith, ok?" I request with gently smile as I let go his hand and garb my pencil to start to write my essay about the lifestyle of a mockingbird. Syaoran sigh with his eyes close before he stare at me. "I know you are right, I just can't shake the feeling that this will be more dangerous then we ever been through before. I can't help but worry." He told me with concern and distant look.
I bite my bottom lip anxiously as tap my pencil. Syaoran's intuition can be really sharp at time and I can't disregard it either when I also feel the same about the situation too.
"No matter what happen, we always have each other back." Tomoyo spoke as she walk over to us and sit behind me at her desk. I turn around to her and nod. "Tomoyo is right. We pull this together as friends and family. I believe it in that and we will make sure everything will be fine." I talk them both.
They both shook their head and smile. "When you put that way. I can't help but to believe it." Syaoran said with amuse and truth in his voice. "So how we go to do this anywhere? We can't just go up her and talk about her magic either." He right about that. We can't do that because two things could happening. One she won't believe us and stay way from us, or she believe us and be on guard around us or attack us in defense to protect herself and her friends.
"It's best that we don't talk about at all." I finally respond after think about it. Both them look at me stupor before Syaoran spoke. "How is that a good idea? She still new to magic and the danger it bring. If she not training soon, she will cause harm to herself and others." Tomoyo appearance concern between us before saying. "I know what you saying could be the right action, I can't help but agree that it rather risky to leave like that." I open my mouth to tell why when I hear Eriol's voice cut in.
"I believe Sakura is right in her decision." Eriol walk in the room along with Yue follow behind him. I smile at both them as they pull themselves a chair and sit where we at. "We can't tell her right away."
Yue nod as he lean in his seat. "There is always a price when using magic. Naru-san is powerful with out any training." He start to explain to us. "You forget that magic also respond strongly with our emotions and will." Syaoran eyes wide at the recall. "I worry that we tell her right way, she will be stress about us and her power. That why I want to wait on that and get to know her. I have a feeling that we could be good friends with her and the people she is with. But it will take time to get there." I told them as they appear thoughtful before nodded .
"Fine. We wait on it for awhile." Syaoran agree with the reasons that I lay out. "But we have tell her sooner than later. For her own sake." I can understand why he concern about her. I was lucky to have someone to show me the rope and Syaoran have been train in magic since he was young, and Eriol have the knowledge and memorizes of Clow Reed to help help him. Lest she have someone to help with it, we need to very careful with this situation.
"Sakura, are you suppose to be at cheer leading tryout today? It is the last day of the tryout." Tomoyo ask me as she.
I wide my eyes. I know I forget told them something important. "Thank you remind me, Tomoyo. The last tryout is reschedule till the week after next week." They stare at me questioning. I can almost see the question marks appear at side of their head. "The team manger, Emiko Shirosaki, have ask me to check out this new place that open for the team, 'Konoha's Bakery and Cafe'. She want me to ask them can they donate some sweets for the bake sell for animal shelter. We already ask the other bakeries and most them agree to help out. The bake sell will last lest two week. Wednesday through Saturday after-school. I know all of the clubs is also help out to with the donates too." They voice their agree about their clubs been helping out in their part.
"That is good reason to go to the shop and meet Naru-san yourself." Yue said as he get up and put his chair back where he get them from. I start to put my school work and books back in the my schoolbag before I get up and push my chair in my desk. "That and want to taste some more of their sweets, and try out their drink that Yue say were good. I also promises Yukito-kun and Kero-chan that I will bring some home when we get back later." I sheepishly said as I pick up my schoolbag and wait for them to get their things together.
"I am not surprise about that." Syaoran said as he walk up to me. "Kero can eat a whole house make of sweets if he want to and still want more. And Yukito just have sweet tooth but not as most as Kero's."
"It really not nice to talk like that about them no matter how true its, Syaoran." Tomoyo scold at him as Syaoran low his shoulder. Tomoyo can be mother like when she want to be. I have to turn my head and bite my lip to keep myself from laughing. Eriol chuckle as he place his chair back. "I am sure they will like eat some muffins this time. Lemon-honey, banana, and blueberry muffins." I nod head at the options. We can use some of the muffins that is left over for breakfast tomorrow. I wonder how fresh their fruits is. I probably ask them if they agree to donate.
"But we should go up there now." Yue said as he walk up to the door. "They are closing up early today and tomorrow." He must have read their time-line of when they opening and closing.
The rest of guys walk up to him before we walk out to the hallway. "Lead the way then." Tomoyo said as we walk down. "You have been there before." We walk down the stairs and head out to the front of the school. " I know." He told as we walk out the fount door.
I really hope there will not be any trouble this afternoon. Other then that, I can't wait to make a new friend.
(Naru POV's)
~At Konoha's Bakery and Cafe in the back kitchen.~
"Why am I doing this again?" Kurama ask irritation as he walk in the kitchen. He wore the long sleeve pale brown dress-shirt with dark green army-style vest with a loose brown tie around his neck and dark brown army-style jean with dark green apron that have 'Konoha's Bakery and Cafe', write in a golden-yellow with golden-yellow leaves around it and dark brown army boots. The Konoha's uniform.
I roll my eyes at as some of the clones run with Iruka yelling order at them. "This is the only way they will let you stay out of your cage, and also as long as I make sure you don't make so much trouble for anyone. They still mad about what I told them and what you did in the past. Even thought, we now know that you was under someone's control at time, it hard for them to forgive. I understand the mixing emotions they felt about you. Just give them time, I sure they will learn to be civil with you for mine's sake." I said to him as two Kakashi clones come to me and pass both trays to me. I give one to Kurama before we head to the door.
"Look it this way." I state with my left hand hold the trays to my hip as I reach the handle. "You don't need to go back to school. Just have to help out in the shop while we are gone." I open the door and walk out before we walk around the counter and pass Shikamaru who was taking order from a customer. "Whatever." Kurama blow at the loose piece of hair away from his eyes. Just remember to call me, Kage when I am in my complete human form. I don't want anyone to know my true name. I only allow you said it. I don't care if people know about my title thought.
"I will, Kage-kun." I smile at him before I saying. "That tray go to table # 15 upstairs on the left side, and be nice to the customers and don't play with them either." Kurama frown at me. "You're no fun, Naruto-chan." He mockingly wince at me. O well. I can always prank the Uchiha brat later. He thought as he walk away to tray upstairs. Count me in too. I need to paid him back from last week. I thought you forgive him about that already. O I did forgive Sasuke, but it don't mean I wont punish him for it. I will talk to you about the plan later tonight.
As I come close to table # 3, I could see Yue sit there with four other people.
Two females and two males.
One female were 5'6 feet tall with long and wavy light brown that go pass the shoulder and bright yet dark green slight narrow eyes that hold kindness and happiness. The other female were 5'8 feet tall with her long and curly silk-black hair in a low ponytail to the back and glow like gray-blue eyes that hold understanding and happiness. Both them wore light blue-purple school jacket on right pocket on white wings mark with white collar-shirt, light blue-purple skirt to the knees with white stocking that is blow the knees and black shoes. One of the male were 5'9 feet tall with short dark brown hair and haze brown narrow eyes that hold serious and passion. The other male were 6'0 feet tall with short black hair that grow to his neck and tie in the back, and midnight blue crescent shape eyes that hold inner kindness and wise. Both males wore a light blue-purple school jacket on white wings mark with white collar-shirt, light blue-purple pants that go above their black shoes.
I walk up to them and smile at them brightly. "Welcome to Konoha's Bakery and Cafe. It nice to see you again, Yue-san."
Yue nodded sedately as he stop reading his book. "Good to see again too, Naru-san." He turn and greet to me as he close the book. I felt a someone at me, I turn to see the male with hazel brown eyes glare at me. I normally ignore glares that throw my ways because the villagers use to do that a lot on me. But I don't feel hate for him. Just curious and suspicious. I wonder if he ever hear the saying, 'the curious kill the cat.' I can said that he do mind me a lot of a cat. Before I could spoke to him, the female with bright yet dark green eyes has elbow him in the side. "It's rude to glare at people, Syaoran-kun." She said with a glare.
"You don't need to hit me, Sakura." Syaoran rub his side before mumbler. "I am sorry for being rude to you." A chuckle come out. "That alright. I do the same thing too sometime." And it end up with me most of the time getting hit at the back of head by my own Sakura-chan. I had to resist the need to rub the very spot.
"Hello. I'm Tomoyo Daidouji." The female with glow like gray-blue eyes greet with a smile. "This Eriol Hiiragizawa." She point at the male with midnight blue crescent shape eyes. He smile with knowing glee in his eyes. "It's pleasure to meet you."
"Syaoran Li. Nice to meet you." He said polite before he turn to Sakura-san who roll her eyes at him before she turn to me and said. "I 'm Sakura Kinomoto. It nice to meet you too." She smile at me as she glare over to Yue "You already know Yue Reed. But he like to go by just Yue."
"So that your last name. It fit you for some reason." I thought out loud with thinking. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. But you can call me, Naru. I welcome you to our shop." I said before I place the tray on the table. " I have you order here. Two chocolate-raspberry cakes, one sponge cake with whip cream and wild berries on top, apple pie with vanilla ice-cream at the side, and a small bowl of strawberries with whip cream and chocolate sauce at the side. Your drink is two hot chocolate, two cup of honey milk tea, and a glass of wild berries shake." I call out as I take and place their order on the table as they pass which one were their to each other.. The chocolate-raspberry cake with hot chocolate went to Sakura-san, the other chocolate-raspberry cake with a cup of honey milk tea to Yue-san, the apple pie with vanilla ice at the side and hot chocolate to Syaoran-san, the sponge cake with whip cream and wild berries on top, and a cup of honey milk tea to Eriol-san, and a small bowl of strawberries with whip cream and chocolate sauce at the side and, glass of wild berries shake to Tomoyo-san.
I take the tray off the table before I look at them. "If that is everything, I will leave you to joy your snack. I will back later to see if you need anything." I told as bow to them and walk away from the table. I walk up to the counter to see that Shikamaru were by himself for the moment, reading book. I look at the title:The Nightmare Of War. I guess he in his dark mood today. He can be worse than Sasuke sometime. Let see what wrong with him right and maybe I can bright up his mood little bit,
"Yo, Shikamaru-kun. I can see that you finally free from the customers for the moment." I told him as I put the tray on the counter and lean forward.
Shikamaru roll his eyes but kept his eyes on the blue-green book. "Yeah. For awhile now that is. What do you want, Naru? I don't want to deal with anymore troublesome you bring today." I frown at him for what he say before I sweetly smile at him. "What trouble are you talk about?" He narrow his eye as he place his book down. "Don't act like you don't know." Shikamaru hiss quietly. "I can't believe you will put yourselves in danger and let him out."
I stare blankly at him. "I will do what I know is right and Kage is here to help out. I will make sure he don't cause to much trouble." I told him calmly as I try to keep temper under control.
"I wish think more about yourselves sometime." He sadly said. I smile softly before turning serious. "Then I wont be me then. I give my word and once I give my word, I intention to keep it." I look down sadly as I start to remember the pain and the lose. "I don't wont innocents people to be hurt or go through what we went through. And I know that Tomoeda is the place we need to be. I can feel it inside my soul." I felt Shikamaru's hand touch my shoulder.
"Troublesome women." He shook his head. "I don't have to like it but I will respect your decision as well the others. We just have to make sure we all come out this alive and you wont be able to talk us out of it. We can be as stubborn as you are. And you are whole lot of stubborn." He said lazily yet soberly. I cover my face to hide the smirk that form on my lip.
I turn way from him. "Do what you want. That have and never will stop you before. We have a clan meeting later." I walk away for the counter and start to take orders again.
~Twenty minutes later.~
"Thank you for coming. I hope you come again. Have a nice evening." I said with a smile as pass them their bags and watch them get up and leave. I pick up their dish up and start to head to the kitchen. I look around and saw Sasuke walking my way. I turn to greet him when three female walk up him and start flirting with him. One with black hair and neon green eyes, the other fake blonde hair and black eyes, and hazel brown hair and purple eyes. All three stood 5'5 feet tall in their green and white high school uniform.
I stood and watch their attempts to get his name, number, or date from him before I took the tray to counter. When I get up there, I could see Shikamaru, Gaara, Sakura, Kurama, and Hinata watch Sasuke before I look back at him too. Amuse it is to see Sasuke trap in the middle of his newest fan-girls, I can see that he about to snap at them any minute.
I better get him out of there before these female get hurt. What are you planing, kit? I hear Kurama ask me in our mind-link. I give the tray to Kurama and give a mischievous smirk. Just watch me and see, Kurama. You wont be disappoint that I know.
This will be fun. I hope the other joy the show as much I will. "Sasuke-kun! There you are. I have been looking everywhere for you." I call out in sweet voice as I walk pass the females and walk up to him. He sigh with relief before he give me a real smile that could have almost any female and male under his spell. Almost that is.
I can't see him other then a brother and it make me really happy when he give me a real smile. "Naru-chan. What do you need from me?" Sasuke ask me as he give me a kiss on the check as I warp my arms around his waist. "You said you will take me out tonight because the shop is closing early." I darkly glare at him before pouting. "I hope you have not forgetting, e- k u n." Sasuke don't miss a beat as he shook his head.
"Of course not. I know what will happen if I do and I don't want to go through that again." I giggle as I hug him tight. "Good. It been awhile since we went out alone." I said cheerful at him before I turn to the females and saw them red with anger and jealousy.
I smile at them brightly as I let go of the hug and move by him side closely. "I am sorry. Did you have business with Sasuke-kun?" I ask innocently as they stare at each other before gave me fake smile. "We just ask him about himself. That all, Miss." The female with fake long blonde hair told me. I stop myself from snort at her. Pleases. I can tell a lie when I see one. Even the most naive of person can tell she were lied too.
But if they really want some information about Sasuke, I will tell them. Just to get them off his back for awhile and little bit of payback. "If that so. I can tell some facts about him." The female the nodded their head fast and hard before look at me hopefully as they pull out notebook and pen out of nowhere. I hear Sasuke make warn sound at me as he grab my hand and tight the hold. "His name is Sasuke Uchiha. He like dark colors, mainly dark blue and black. He like to eat fresh tomatoes and rice balls. He dislike the very sweet kind of food. He most-like will eat bittersweet or sour food." They wrote down what I say.
"If you excuse us, we have work to do, ladies. Please come again soon." Sasuke politely said as he start walk away and take me with him. I get to said one thing before I allow him to take me from them. "Oh. And he what hate the most is fan-girls." I finish said with a sing tone and smirk at their stupor faces before I walk with him to kitchen. Sasuke was very annoy as he glare at me. "Did you have give them information about me?" He pull out a chair and sit down as he cover his face and groan. "Now they won't leave me alone after this." I roll my eyes at his drama king moment. Then Kurama walk in the room smirking when I take a seat on the chair on side of Sasuke. "I can't-ha aha-believe you done that-ah aha-, Naru-chan. Ha ha." Sakura said laughing as She, Gaara, and, Shikamaru follow in the kitchen. I could see Gaara's lip twist little couple of time and Shikamaru just shook his head and chuckles.
"I come on, Sasuke."I lean back and garb a cupcake when Kakashi walk by with a tray of them.
Kakashi stood 6'1 feet tall with short and spiky that go against gravity silver-gray hair, his left eyes that hold the sharingan is cover by the a white eye-patch and his right eye was gray-blue. Kakashi still wear the mask that low face to his neck but have change the color of the mask when he working to pales brown to match his dark brown and white baker uniform in army-style and dark brown boot. The only green on him is dark green apron that have 'Konoha's Bakery and Cafe', write in a golden-yellow with golden-yellow leaves around it is tie around his waist.
"They really think we are dating each other. They have to been super stupid to go after you now." I said and I take a bite of it. Mmm. Lemon cupcake with hint of honey on top. One of my favorite's. "You forget have determined the fan-girls can get when they want something really bad. They will risk everything and everyone at any cost." Sasuke and I shiver the memory of his fan club do. I have almost forget about the crazy things they have done in the name of love. I remember this kid name Kaiba have once badmouth Sasuke so bad that by the next day, he were find traumatize out of his mind and the only thing that he keep on repeat over, over, and over again was "The Evil Harpies, They come. They come!" He even scream when he see Sasuke for awhile. The poor guy. It take him three years to recover and no one can ever prove that the Sasuke's fan club have some to do with it.
I know that Sakura and Ino have nothing to do with it. I don't think they will do something like that to anyone no matter have Sasuke-crazy themselves once were.
"Naruto! That one is for the customers out there." Iruka shout as he walk over to me.
Iruka stood 5'7 feet tall with short brown hair tie in high ponytail and light brown kind eyes. He wear dark brown and white baker uniform in army-style with dark green apron that have 'Konoha's Bakery and Cafe', write in a golden-yellow with golden-yellow leaves around it is tie around his waist, and dark brown boots.
I smile at him sweetly before I take another bite. "I just take one cupcake, Iruka. One of the extras we always make just in case." I finish the cupcake up. "And a good one too." I said as I lick the taste off my lip. Iruka rub his forehead. "What am I going to do? The way you guys eat the sweets and foods, we are lucky that we have enough to sell in the shop." We all sheepishly look at him before the five clones start to come over with some bags in their hand.
"We just joy eating the food and sweets that You, Kakashi, and Naru. You really shouldn't make them so delicious in the first place." Sakura said as She, Sasuke, Gaara, Hinata, and I garb one bag each of the five bags. Gaara stare at me before saying. "I am surprise that Naruto even know have to cook. Long as I know and seen her, she always have been eating ramen." Why do most think I can't cook? I live alone since I was six.
I have to learn to take care myself. I can't buy anything at the market because they will overprice me, give me rotten food and drinks, put poisons in them, or just refuse to sell me anything. I have to grow my own food and drink in secret. I have to make my own cloths and another materials. The only cloths that give me was the orange jumpsuits that I love and more after I find a way to train my stealth and hiding ability. I learn to tell which plaints was safe to eat or drink. I even have to find different hiding places to stay when times get dangerously. Good thing that third hokage teach have to do the art of seals to survive. I wish they get in their thick head that I can take care myself, even if I am a trouble magnet most the time.
"Whatever." I said with anger puff as I turn away from them and head to the door. "Let get these out there before it is closing time. We have a clan meeting later tonight about everything and I want to get it over as soon as possible." I open the door before I walk out and take the order to customer. Kit, wait a minute. I want to meet this Yue guy that you talk to earlier.Why Kurama? I want to check on something real quick. I suspicious frown at his words. I promise it nothing dangerous about it. Let me take this bag to my last customer for the day, then I will introduction you and the other to him and his friends. But Kyuubi if you so much cause any trouble, I will punish you in a way that you wish you was never born or could see. I know. I am not that foolish.You better not be. I thought to him before cutting off the mind-link as I come up to table where two elder couple was drink their tea. I smile at them and hang out their bag to them as they turn and smile. "Hereis your bag. I hope that you have pleasure evening. I hope you will come again soon." I bow to them as they get up and bow to me before they take their bag and walk their way out the shop. I place their dishes that was on table to the tray and start to head to the kitchen when I see Gaara walk close to me. "Gaara! Wait up." I call out as he turn to me.
Gaara have grow his hair long on the front to cover his left blind eye. It kinda make him look like a bit of a bad boy and enigma. I need to make him smile more. He more welcoming when he smile to people. I wonder if I can get Hinata to help me out on this too.
"Can you take this in the kitchen for me and talk the others that I want them to meet someone?" I ask him hopefully. He stare at me before nod with a sigh. "Thank you, Gaara. I own you one." I smile at him as pass the the tray before I turn around and head to Yue's table.
"How everything been for you? Did you have any problems?" I ask them as they turn toward me.
"No." Tomoyo-san answer with a gentle smile. "Everything was fine. Can you tell the bakers of these snacks and drinks that they were delicious." I smile at them. "I thank you for these kind words. Me and two other has work hard to make our bake goods and drink have a taste lasting effect that will bring smile on their face. It make us happy that others joy them as must as we did."
"You make them. They taste so good. You have great talent " Sakura said.
I nod my head as I try to keep myself from blushing. "Well I have done some of them. But it was Iruka and Kakashi who done most of the work. I am still learning but I got some great teachers to help." I said with kind voice. I am glad that Iruka Umino and Kakashi Hatake have been in my life. They are one of the few who never see me the way as the villagers did. Both play part in my life and who I've be come. I never regret meet them and have them life. I will be heart broken if I have lost them too. I need them as much as they need me.
"Yo, kit!" I hear Kurama call out his nickname for me. "I thought you will wait for me before coming over here." I don't have turn around to see he walk up to me and know that he about do something that make me annoy at him. Yue, Sakura, Syaoran, and Eriol have appearance surprise when they seen him for a second before turn back to normal. I wonder about it for a second before I felt Kurama's chakra rise a little, I turn to him and sent a dark glare at him. Cut it out before I hurt you, Kurama.
He take my warn by heart as he low his chakra back to normal. "Told you I will been over here." I turn to back to the others and smile. "I like you guys to meet Kage Kitsune, a dear friend of mine. He just start working here today." They told their names to him. Kurama smirk at them before give them a bow. "It nice to meet most of you."
"Troublesome fox, you better behaving, Kage." I hear Shikamaru's voice and footsteps as my friends come over. They must have felt Kurama's chakra and rash here in a hurry to see the problem.
I hear snort that I know to well, come to my left side. "You are asking for the impossible, Shikamaru. He live for trouble and chaos. I am surprise that he even listen to dobe in first place." My eyebrow twist at the nickname that Sasuke call me but I will ignore it for now. I think I will dyed his hair bright green with pink dots in them that will last for five days and glow in the dark too.
"He listen to reason most of the time." My best female friend, Sakura told him. "And do you really want see Naru-chan truly mad? Again?" I'm not that bad at control my temper most of the time and she have worse than mine. But I wont admit that to her thought, I am not going to be hospitalize this time around. I been there enough by her.
"If you want to be sent to the hospital again, go right ahead, Uchiha. But it not worth the trouble if you ask me." Gaara said next. Hey! That more of Sakura thing then mine's. And Sasuke have sent me to the hospital as most as I sent Sasuke to the hospital. Everyone have been sent to the hospital by each other at some point.
"Naruto-kun is not that violent." Hinata said with frown in her voice. I turn to Hinata and give her a big hug. "You are the only one who care. Everyone else is just being mean today." I told her as I tightly hold for minute before I let go her.
"I like for you to meet my co-workers and friends." I told Yue and his friends before I introduction my friends.
"The beautiful and strong-will, Sakura Haruno. I word of advice don't piss her off. You don't want to get hit by her." Sakura groan at me as she call my full name." The smartest yet the most lazies person I ever know, Shikamaru Nara. Everything is troublesome to him." Shikamaru's eyes roll at me before he mumbler. I don't need to be mind reader to know that just call me troublesome again.
"The poised yet loveable brother in arm, Gaara of the Desert. He may appearance cold and alarming but he is very nice and sweet." I meant what said. He can be genuinely sweet when he want to. He have a kind soul that just wait for the change to be show that someone genuinely care about him. Gaara may seem like he don't care what I said but I know that he were touch. "The kind and graceful soul, Hinata Hyuga. Don't let her appearance fool you, she can be quite fierce when she want to." Hinata blush at the complement.
"And last and not least, my stubborn yet tolerable teme, Sasuke Uchiha." I call out last with a smirk as Sasuke glare at me with a irritate look. I know I was wrong to said it. But it so much fun to tease Sasuke at time. "Dobe. Did you ever hear the saying if you don't have any nice to said, don't say anything at all." He grumble at me. Yeah right. Like you have the right to said that to me when he do same thing to me as much if not more as I do.
I place a cheerfully smile on face. "If you have let me finish, Sasuke. I will have also say that you may be a jerk and emo at time. But you a great person that I'm glad to have in my life." I told him as I bright my smile.
"I'm sorry for these two." Sakura apologize as she bow to them. "It nice to meet someone that can tolerate Naru's straightforward and childish way." Everyone is childish in their own away. I am just more open to it then most. I have to stop myself from sticking my tongue out at her in spike. Least I don't have temper and hit the people for little reason.
"It's fine. It nice to meet someone who not fear to spoke her mind." Yue said with chuckle. I do tend to speech my mind most of the time. But I try not to hurt anyone feeling along the way. "I'm Yue Reed. This Sakura Kinomoto, Tomoyo Daidouji, Eriol Hiiragizawa, and Syaoran Li." He point at each one of as he call their name.
I look around the room to see that most of the people in the cafe was gone. I look at the green leaf clock.
5:35 Pm.
We close at 8:00 Pm. But on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, we close at 6:00 Pm. We don't open on Sunday at all.
I pull two chairs at one of available tables and give to Hinata and the other to Sakura H. before I pull me another chair for me and sat on it.
" You have the same name as me." Sakura K. said as she look at Sakura H. "We will have a hard time to tell apart when some call our name." As the boys went to get their chairs as Sakura H. and Hinata sat on theirs. "You are right about that." Sakura H. agree with Sakura K. (I will write Kura instead Sakura H. when both Sakura is in the room. Thought their nicknames will still be use. I just don't want to put H. or K. at end of their name.)
"It alright, Kinomoto-san. That can be easily solve." I said as I look between them as I thought about it second. "We call our Sakura-chan, Chiyu because she planing to become a doctor and she have a lot of knowledge on the medical field to back her up." The knowledge and the experiences on the subject too. If I remember right, Kura-chan have already started on get credits for a early nurse degree.
"Really?" Eriol-san said with curiously and interest tone.
Kura nod her head before she sent a glare at me. "Hai. It is what I have been plan on to do." I just though of nickname to not confuse them. Don't get mad at me just trying to help.
"What school that you go to?" Gaara ask as he stare at their uniform. "We go to Seijyo High." Tomoyo-san answer. Where do I hear that name? I know that Iruka were saying something about it but I wasn't really listening to him. I kinda was in argument with Kurama at the time. "Hinata-chan is that the school will be going in two weeks?"
"Yes it is. Iruka-san told us three nights ago that is where we go." Hinata told me. I knew it. I hope no one discovery that I don't know or wasn't listen at time. "Naru. You weren't listening were you?"
I wince as I hear the suspicion that come out of Kura's voice, I rub my head nervously as I try not to look at her and start to say with nervous voice. "Well. You see, mmm, I have lot things on mind and don't help that I was kinda busy with a little fox that I am taking care of at the moment." I turn my eyes toward Kurama. He was whistling like he done nothing as he look anywhere but me. It's tick me off that he was pretend that he done nothing wrong and let me take the burn. I don't want to hear a lecture from Kura or Iruka either. Once they start, they almost never stop. And I can't tune them out because that make it worse than before and when they find out, they will start lecture on that too.
"You know Iruka will have your head once he hear about it." I wide my eyes as what she said. Pleases don't tell me she going to tell him. She not that evil to do it. I look at her with scare eyes. Anger Iruka is not something what to deal with. "But I wont tell him because I really don't want to hear it tonight either." I sigh in relief. I am safe for now. But I have to do so special for her
"O!" Sakura said as if she was remind of something."I just remember. I wonder if I can talk to the owner of the place." She look at us hopefully. Everyone in our group except Kurama, is part-owner of the shop but in paper, Kakashi and Iruka is the ones hold the deed of the shop.
I look at her with curiously as I try not to frown. "Why do you need to talk to them anyway?" Sasuke question her suspiciously with narrow eyes.
Syaoran glare back at him and the two start to have glaring match with each other. A little protection is he? I hope he is not as bad as Sasuke and Gaara though. I bite my bottom lip to keep for chuckle at the scene. Kura and Sakura pull their arm to stop the match before they get physical to each other. I have a feeling these two will be at it as cats and dogs.
"My club is doing a bake sell that will last two week after-school for charity for the animal shelter that at threat to be close and destroy if it don't rise some money soon with the school help. We was wonder if you can donate some bake goods for it? I can understand if you can't." I don't see why we can't help them. I can tell that it not a scam the way sound she it. She genuinely worry about the shelter. I don't want the animal to be left behind or have no where to go. I am sure that I can talk them into helping a little bit.
"I bring them out here if they are not too busy." Hinata said as she got up and walk to the kitchen.
"Is we the only place that you ask?" Sasuke ask them with his arms folded. Sasuke may not look it but he have soft spot for animal. If I remember right, he have a contract with both wolves and panthers. It was really funny how he get these two contracts. You really have to be there to see it. Or you wont believe it. I still don't believe it either sometime.
Sakura shook her head. "No." She place her hand under the table. "We have ask other shops and most agree to help out. You guys was last one to ask. We don't know if you agree or not because you are just move in town."
"That may be true. But it don't mean that we wont help if we truly know that we can." Gaara told Sakura as Kura-chan, Sasuke, Shikamaru, Kurama, and I agree with him. I look behind me and see Hinata walk back with Kakashi and Iruka walk after her. "Hello, I am Iruka Umino, I am owner of the place and this the co-owner, Kakashi Hatake. Hinata already told me about the animal shelter. I don't see why we can't help out." Iruka said to Sakura. I forget that Iruka have big heart and willing to help out. Kakashi also will help out too no matter what Iruka have decide.
"Thank you so much, Umino-san" Sakura happily told with smile. "This meant lot to the school and the shelter."
"I am glad that we can help. We about to close but we can make arrangement about it on Monday with you and adult from the school." Iruka have go in teacher or business mode now. "Want to make sure that everything go alright and no problem happen anytime soon."
"We understand." Sakura agree with him as she and her friend start to get up and take their bags.
"We thank for let us have moment of you time." Tomoyo said with a bow. "and I hope that we see you soon at our school."
"Of course. We already friends now." I told them as bow back to her.
"Speaking for yourself, Dobe." Sasuke told as he roll his eyes before he turn to walk away from me.
"I am not a dobe, Teme!" I shout at him. "Please come back again. Bye." I said as walk after Sasuke get him piece of my mind.
(Syaoran POV's)
Naru-san is really something else. I can feel the raw magic on her. It's powerful and can become more so with training and time. She also have some else than her magic. But Kage Kitsune on the other hand is powerful but in different way. The aura that he sent our way was powerful and a warn. I know that what he have is not magic bur close to it. Similar to Naru-san, but his feel more darker and ancient to her bright and young one. I can also see that he was protective over Naru-san, the way sent his aura out at us as while it also warp around her. I don't miss the glare she sent his way before his aura disappear like it was never there.
When we meet her friends, they too have similarity aura to them thought different in their own way.
As she walk after Uchiha, Nara sigh at them before I turn back to us. "Sorry about that. Naru tend to make friends with people without ask them first."
Tomoyo and Sakura both shook their heads. "That alright. I glad she see us as her friend." A little to soon if you ask me. Should she get to know us first before call us her first. "It may seem that Naru will become friend with everyone easily but that far from the truth." Umino-san said with amuse and serious tone.
"Kit have a good judgment and insight." Kitsune-san said with chuckle. "If she don't think that you was good people and wont cause any harm anyone, she wont deal with you in first place." Everyone who know her agree. Lest she know that wont bring harm to her and her friends.
"Thought she not against on giving people chances if they really want it, Naru don't trust as easily as she use to." Hatake told with his right eye smiling. How do he that in first place? What with the mask too. I know I don't have the right to judge on anybody but wouldn't he be really irritate if someone make mistake by thinking that he a criminal or something. I get that they not ordinary people with they look and move. I don't know if we should even get to know them now that we meet them. But I know what Sakura will do and that what make me worry. For the sake for my friends, I better keep my guard up and a eye on them too.
"Thank you for let us stay. Even thought it pass your close time." Eriol bow at them before look over to me.
"That's okey." Umino-san shook his head before saying. "Now if you excuse us, we have some work to do. I hope that you came again really soon."
"We will come back soon. Bye."
"Have good even."
"It was nice meet you."
"Bye."
"Goodbye."
"Have a good night. Come again soon."
We walk way from them and head out to the door. "Everyone get to work. If we want to get back home in time." That the last thing I hear before the door close behind us. We start to walk into the busy crowd.
"So Syaoran what to you think of them?" I hear Eriol ask me. "I think there more to them that meet the eye. And feel something else in every one of them. It's something that I never felt before yet sometime I have."
"I know what you mean." Sakura agree with me as we turn to the left. "Specially Kitsune-san. His aura was really dark, powerful, and ancient. Something inside of me told me to run and hide. That I don't want him as a enemy." She told us as she shiver at the memory.
Tomoyo look at us before saying. "I may not have any power like you guy but I felt some dark but it was not aiming at me." If Tomoyo have felt it and it was also not aiming at her else. Then that mean he know that we not ordinary people and magic. That why it felt like a warn to me.
"Kitsune-san know about magic and warn us not to harm anyone. Specially Naru-san." Yue said what I was thought of . Eriol close his eyes in thought. "She probably under his care or he not what he seem. I have a feeling that his name is not Kage. As right now I can't tell what he is."
"Then what we going to do?" Sakura ask him for us as we turn to him.
Eriol's eyes open with serious look. "As for now, we do nothing." We all look at him in shock. Yue shook it off first. "What do you mean nothing, Eriol?" Yue ask as Eriol just smile at him.
"Just as I say nothing. We want to get to know them don't we?" We nod at his question. "Asking and looking for answers will make them put their guard up on us and lest likely to try to trust us." He told.
"I want to get to know them. So I find with not knowing the some answers if it mean get the chance to know them." Tomoyo calmly said as we get to the exit.
"I agree with Tomoyo." Sakura said next. "I think it will do more harm then good with the way things is right now. I know that most of you agree with me on this." I close my eyes for the moment. As must as I want these answers, I also understand that they right about asking them too.
"Fine. I wont go looking for now. But it don't mean I like either." I told them with frown.
"Don't worry." Eriol said as he look at the sunset. "I sure everything will be answer when the time come." I look head and see two of Tomoyo's female bodyguards standing by the limo waiting for her.
"Young Mistress." One of the two bodyguards, with long and straight brown hair tie in back and short at the front, call out to Tomoyo as she walk up to her and bow. "We come to pick you up. Mistress Daidouji is waiting for you at home." The other female have short and wavily black hair stand by the driver's door. Both female wear the black shades and the bodyguard cloths.
Tomoyo smile at them. "Thank for come to get me. Sora and Mizuki." Then she turn toward us and say. "Do any one of you need a ride home? It's not any trouble."
"Yue and I can walk home from here. But thank you for the offer." Sakura told her. I shook my head at her before saying. " I don't need to. But thank you anyway. I am going over Sakura's house for dinner."
"Thank you for the offer, Tomoyo-san." Eriol kind smile form on his lip. "Ruby and Spinel is probably worry by now. But I am also sure they will joy these treats when I get home. I will see tomorrow, Yue, Sakura, and Syaoran." He said as they wave to us as walk to the limo.
"Bye Sakura-chan. Syaoran-kun. Yue-san." Tomoyo told us as brown hair Sora open the door for them."See you tomorrow! Tomoyo-chan and Eriol-kun." Sakura call out as we wave at them before they get inside the car and drove away.
"Should we get going now? Yukito don't like it if we stay out too long or late for dinner." Yue said as he start to walk without us.
"Syaoran." Sakura call my name with worry look. "Please try not to get in argument with Touya and Kero tonight. I want a peace dinner with everyone." I grimace at the thought get a long with them before sighing as we try to catch up to Yue. "I will try for you and Yukito as long as these two don't start something first." I hopefully I will make through dinner before battle begin with Touya and Kero.
Sakura smile at me as she hug. "Thank You, Syaoran-kun." She said as she kiss me on the cheek, I blush as turn away from her.
"Co-come on. We don't want to be late." I said to her as I pull away and take hold of her hand as I quick walk. I hear Sakura giggle and said. "So Cute." I walk little bit quick til we was close to Yue.
I hope whatever happen now, wont come back to hunt us. Because I know that wont be pretty if it does.
(Sasuke POV's)
"I am going to kill you, Sasuke Uchiha!" Naru shout as she throw a knife at me. I move my head to the left and the room cover in smoke. It seem that she hit my shadow clone as it's memory came pop in my head. I roll my eyes at her childishly as I place the clean dishes in shelves. "Your aiming still suck as ever. It just a small cake. It's not worth killing over."
I could feel her angrily glare at me. I think she reach for another knife at the counter. "It maybe just a cake but it was not yours!" She throw it at me. I just close the last shelf as it flew pass me and on to the shelf that I just close.
"Fine. I am wrong for eating it. But you also wrong for leaving it out." I pull the knife out before I turn to her. " You know that Iruka will get you for causing damaged in here, right." I told her as I garb the another knife that is on the wall. He will start the lecture about the costs and how we should not act like children."And how will Gaara be when find out that you ate his mini dark chocolate with milk chocolate swirl with sugar-free whip cream and raspberry on top that I made to cheer him up!" She shout at me before she snatch the them for me and wash them again before pull them in the drawer.
I wonder why she making such a big fuss about this. I am sure she can make other one. It like she don't before the last time when Sakura eat another one. Thought I don't want to be sand crash by Gaara tonight. It so hard get sand out my hair and other places.
"I will help you make another one." I told her and she glare before nodded angrily agree with me as she form hand sign and make half of the shadow clone disappears in smokes. The one of the most things about Naru is her chakra. It's insanely large and add Kyuubi's that something else too. I am surprises that she not power-hunger like I was when we were Genin back then.
"What the?!" we both hear a male voice coming from the door. We both turn to see Kakashi walk in the door with all the trays. He look around and see the holes on the wall and shelf before turn to us. He rub his forehead and sigh. "Do I even want to know why? You better hope that you repair that in time before Iruka come in here tomorrow or he will have yours heads." Kakashi warn as place the trays in the dishwasher before walk out the room.
"Kakashi is right you now." I told Naru as I thought how many way that Iruka can punishment us. And none of them is truly pleasure.
She nod nervously in agree with shiver. It seem I am not the only one who thinking. "We get up early in the morning tomorrow."
"At 5:00 am sharp. So get up by four."
"I bring the tools that we need."
"I look for the woods for the door of the shelf and the wall."
"I will make some a pot of black tea with strawberries pancakes and scramble eggs before we leave. That why they will have something to eat while we're go." I nod at the idea and the food. I wonder if we have some bittersweet chocolate. "What will be the excuse, Sasuke?"
"We want to check up on the instruments. While we here, we also start to set up some things for the day. Before that we leave note tell them that they don't need to come till 9:00 am." Naru look at me concernedly. "A little bit suspicious don't you think?"
"Its wouldn't be if we say that you plan a surprise for Gaara and you have pull me and Kyuubi to help out." I told her with annoy sigh. I wish she wont too slow sometime. If she is on her feet, she come up most brilliant but crazy ideas that impossibles for anyone but her to do and we know that Naruto can make the impossible into possible.
"Good idea. That why we can cheer Gaara up and we can make that cake you eat." She respond happily before she frown in thought. "But Kyuubi will not be happy about that. He like to sleep and it's not good idea to wake him up that early." She have horror yet distant look before she shiver. It can't be that bad.
"Just do it, dobe." After I said that, Naru darkly glare at me before turn away. "Fine. But I make sure he come after you first, teme." She warn me as she pull off the apron in the close before head out the door. "Cut off the lights in here before you leave, Sasuke." I nod as she walk out the kitchen's door. We came work like a team we want to or when we don't want Iruka-sensei on our case.
Lately strange things start to happen around us. Strange than usual. That saying something. Because when with Naru, strangest things happen everyday. I concern about the dobe. We may not see eyes to eyes but we always have each other back. That and she is my annoy, knucklehead, hyper, out control little sister.
Sigh. If we don't watch out for her, then who will? I really don't like this Twilight person either. I don't want she think of asking for Naru to help just after we get out of war. I know in end, we have to help just to keep Naru alive or innocents out harm way. But I not going to make it easy for her. She need to answer some questions when we meet.
I waited for the clones to leave the room before I turn to the light off.
"Take you long enough, Uchiha." Gaara said as he, Shikamaru, Kyuubi, and Kakashi move the last chairs away from the tables and to the left corner with the rest of the chairs. Sakura, Hinata, and Naru wash the table before cover them with sheets. Iruka-sensei was check the list off things that been done today.
I shrugged before I walk to the box at the Iruka-sensei's side and pick it up before I place it under the counter. "Last minute clean up."
"That should be all tonight." Iruka finish with the check list and put it away. "Finally!" Sakura shout as she threw the rag to the bucket and make it. "I can believe how much clean it take." Shikamaru nod boringly as he stretch his arms."That is with shadow clone too."
"Now now now, kids. Be glad we done for the day." Kakashi said with a smile eye. I really hate when he do that. It's annoy and sometime he up to something that we may regret later or hunt him down. That is not easy to do.
"Just one more day and we can relax." Hinata said with she pick the bucket to one of her shadow clones. Naru lean on Kyuubi. "How about some homemade ramen and sushi for dinner. Then we can have movie night." She said in thought. Naru probability think what different types of sushi and ramen to cook when we get home. I wonder if we can have tomato and rice-balls too. "We can all make some butter popcorn, milk and white chocolate chip cookies with sweet ice tea and milk." Sakura ask with the puppy eyes. "What kind of movie night it will be without snacks and beverage?"
"That good and all." I start to said as I felt a dread sensation rash in me that almost turn my blood cold just now. Why I have a feeling that what I say next will cause something to happen. "What type of movie we going to watch then?" They all look at each other silently before they start to argue about it.
"Comedy!" Naru, Kakashi, and Iruka said.
"Romances!" Sakura and Hinata told.
"Action." Gaara and Shikamaru demand.
"How about a good bloody and most gross horror movie?" Kyuubi offer his choice.
"No!" We instantly answer in horror of the movie he may pick.
I may like some horror movie. But even I wont watch these type of movies. If we let Kyuubi pick it will be the most sickly movie we every watch. Not only we be sick in our stomach, but scare for life and more.
They continue to argue about the movie choices for the next fifteen minutes before I snap.
"SHUT UP!" I shout out loud with anger, the room grow silence as they stare at me. I glare at them darkly and irritate. "We will watch a movie that have all three of your choices. That way you get what you want and I wont have to spill blood in here." Then they open their mouth to saying, but I pull stop it before they start the with movie to get. "And I will choice the damn movie too." I snap out before I enraged make a sign and make my shadow clones disappears in smokes. Everyone else look at me for a second before make their clones that was left disappears, covering the room in smoke and make it hard to see.
"It seem like little Uchiha in his dark mood." I could hear that mischievously smirk in Kyuubi's voice. I bet. no. I know he smirking right now. I turn to him and have my Sharingan at him as the room clear up. "I warn you, Kyuubi no Kitsune. If you don't want to be trap in the illusion world, you wont want to start something with me."
"You wont dare, Uchiha." Kyuubi growl out darkly and his eyes glowing as his red chakra surround the room. The air grow dim that make it's kinda difficult to breath if you was normal person. But I am ninja. I have face dangerous to many times to back off and run away like a coward.
Even if it is Kyuubi no Bake. "I will dare. Bunny's ears." I said to him with dark sneer as we glare darkly at each other.
"Should one of us stop them?" I hear Hinata ask worry. "No." Gaara said with amuse tone. "Let see if they kill each other first." I am not surprise to hear that from him. He never like me that most either and I can say the feeling is same on my end too.
"Troublesome Uchiha and fox. They cant wait til we at home." Shikamaru utterer under his breath.
"Its best to let them lose some steam off first before they end up causing destruction in town." Kakashi advise them. He doing that smile eye thing again. "They better not leave any blood on the floor. It hard to wash off sometime and I will make them clean up before I kill them outside of the forest." Iruka warn deadly at us. I thought he will stop us fighting. But he don't want to get between Kyuubi and me right now.
"Don't worry about that, Iruka-sensei." Naru said happily. I shiver at the tone she make. I have a bad feeling about this right now. That was too cheerfully. Even for her. The need to run and hide for awhile rush through me. I see Kyuubi tense as he pale a little. He may how read her thoughts and by the look of it, I really don't. I repeat. I really don't want to know.
We look at her nervously as she smile brightly. "Because they will be in coma when I done with them and not the physical kind either." We both back away from each other and her. "Now you want to back away from each other. What a shame. I really want to teach you to learn to be civil the hard way." She said with pout before shrug her shoulders. "O well. It's always next time." She sinisterly smirk with the thought.
Sadistic.
How can the happy go dobe have such a dark and cruel mind at time. Shiver. I know she not joke this time by the way she smirking. Naru will do it someway and somehow without a inch of mercy. And that what I am afraid of right now.
"Naruto-chan. Please don't go there." Hinata plea to Naru as they step back from her slowly. Even Hinata is scare of this side of her. She usually the one to stop Naru before she get that way. I guess Hinata worry over us then pay attendant to her this time.
"Once you go there, it hard to get you back." Shikamaru said next as he look around him to see if he can find a hiding place. I don't blame him. I will do so to if I don't always know that its will just make things worst and once she found you, huh, it not pretty at all.
"And I thought my mind can be twisted at time. Lest I don't like to drive people insane. Scare? Yes. Insane? Not so much. " Gaara told as he remember of these days before he changes for the better. I will never admit it out loud but I like him this way than what he was when we was genin. He was really monster back then. Misguide I admit.
"At times like this, Naru remind me of her mother when she use to get mad and annoy. Poor sensei. How I use to fear for him and everyone around her at time." Kakashi said. "She was not as much as Naruto here. But close I recall when she want pay back." Kyuubi agree with Kakashi about Naru's mother. That where Naruto get it from? Why do I fear that it run in all of the Uzumaki bloodline? More so to the female side.
"Naruto-chan. Lets think about this." Sakura said as she hide behind Shikamaru. "You don't want to do something that you may regret later."
Iruka nod his head as he rise his hand up. "I rather you not go to the trouble, Naru-chan. Now let go home. I will make your favorite's ramen and Kakashi will make these cookies." Naru thought about it for moment. As she open her mouth to her respond when we hear the bell ring as someone open the door.
Iruka turn around to the person "We sorry but we are close. . . ." Iruka finish saying before I hear shock sound utter from his mouth as he stare at the person.
A familiar male voice chuckle. "It that alright. I am not here as a customer. Iruka Umino." My eyes widen when I hear the voice. The voice that haunt my dreams. The voice that cause so much pain and sadness in me. The voice of one person I love and hate to love. The person that went through too much for village and me.
I remember what Naru told me that her moon guardian is closely bond to one of her friends. I wonder what she meant about that. But now I know why.
I turn and see him stand there with the moonshine on him. How fitting for him. "Itachi." I whisper his name loud enough for everyone to hear as I stare his reddish black eyes with my many emotions rash in me. Itachi turn with gently smile at me and said. "Hello. Little brother."
Were you guys surprise to see Itachi in there? I hate how the Elders make him choice over the village and his clan. That the first reason out of three reasons why I bring him back. The second reason is that I want to build back the relationship between Sasuke and Itachi that they have lost. Both went through so must pain because the Elders. But it won't be easy for them. They have to go through their issues first. The third reason is that I think he make a good moon guardian for Naru and he remind me of a peaceful moon who search for harmony in the world.
I am glad to tell you that I have start on creating Naru's cards. I think I am go to call them, Hokage Cards. I know in Card Captor Sakura, User's use their name when make their cards. But I want Naru's cards be name after her dream and the reminder of the people she love.
She is still the Hokage as while Gaara is still the Kazekage.
Naru is the leader of the group and Gaara is her second commend if she is not around, Sasuke is her bodyguard and first junior general,Sakura is her senior healer and fighter, Shikamaru is her second junior general and their best strategists, Hinata is the close combat fighter and junior healer, and Kakashi and Iruka is both of her advisers and first and second senior generals. That is some of the background of Naru's group.
I hope you continue reading the story.
Till the next chapter.
Bye.
