Chapter 5- Oh Haaaail No

Evelyn's POV

I'm running...

I'm running...

I'm running...

Great. I'm lost.

I'm so stupid.

Who wonders off into the middle of a forest in a foreign land with no sense of direction what-so-ever. That's right, me. I have to find a way back some how.

Oh! Maybe I can climb a tree to get a look! Oh wait, I can't climb a tree. Not even with hands.

'Ugh'

I groan inwards.

I wonder if they're worried?

Jesus Christ knows where i am.

* flap flap flap *

I froze in place.

Wait. What was that?

I looked around and listened real hard, but all I could hear was the sound of the wind blowing through the trees.

Ok, calm down Evie, you're just being paranoid.

I shook my head and continued walking forward.

* flap flap flap *

I stopped again.

Ok, this time, I'm sure I heard that. I am NOT crazy. I may be a lot of things like weird, and awkward, and strange, and retarded, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. The point is, I am positively sure that I am NOT crazy.

I closed my eyes and continued walking again, this time, focusing on pin-pointing the exact location of where the sound was coming from.

* flap flap flap *

Gotcha.

I threw a kunai straight at where the noise was coming from which caused something to fall out of the tree.

Wow. Hard work really does pay off.

It took me a while to realize the identification of the tiny little creature.

It was a hummingbird.

I don't know if I should be happy or upset.

This is the first target that I actually hit but on the other hand, I'm against animal abuse and I just hit this poor little creature.

It shows because you can see a scratch right across its tiny little stomach from where the kunai grazed it.

I slowly walk over to it cautiously.

Oh who am I kidding. It's a hummingbird! That thing can't do any harm. Although, it could attack and peck my eyes out. After all, I did just shoot it out of a tree.

I'm a horrible person.

I kneel down and picked it up gently holding it in both of my cupped hands.

It looks at me and cocks its head to the side curiously.

Its so tiny. So delicate. So cute!

Then it did something unexpected.

It spoke.

"Its been a long time, Princess Akemi"

"HOLY SHIT!" I said throwing it in the air.

It spreads out its wings just in time and flew up.

I'm sorry! I panicked!

I don't know if you know this, but hummingbirds don't talk where I come from.

"Oh my god! I am soooo sorry. Are you hurt?"

Maybe I am crazy. Just listen to me. I'm apologizing to a hummingbird. And here I am thinking that I was actually sane.

"Its alright, Princess. I didn't mean to scare you."

"I'm sorry. I'm afraid you have the wrong person. I'm not Princess Akemi, nor am I a princess or a person named Akemi," I said shaking my head.

The hummingbird had the voice of an 8 year old little girl. My conclusion? It was female.

"Well of course you are! I would know. After all, I was assigned to look out for you by your parents. You must remember me"

As much as I hate to admit it, she was really familiar like I know her from a dream or something. I know it's in the back of my mind somewhere. It's that feeling you get when you know something important but then forget it and now you're trying to remember it. That feeling drives me crazy. I know it's there but I just can't quit put my finger on it.

I was practically pulling out my hair now, trying to remember what it was.

"Princess Akemi! Don't hurt yourself! It's ok if you don't remember. You weren't suppose to anyway. So i guess it's a good thing that you don't remember me."

"Huh? Why's that? And stop calling me Princess Akemi!"

"Then what should I call you?"

"Just call me Evie"

"Evie..is it?" she asked, sounding it out.

I nodded.

"Well...Evie, you can call me Melody and as for why you can't remember anything from your past... i suppose you deserve to know a little. Unless you already met... 'him'."

"Him? Who's 'him'? Am I suppose to know a 'him'?"

"Never mind. I guess you don't know him. Anyway, when you were born, there was great danger all around us, so your parents decided to send you away in fear that you would get hurt or fall into the wrong hands. Of course they couldn't think of just sending you out with no protection, so they assigned two of us to protect and watch over you. That would be me...and 'him' "

I looked at her, letting the information sink in.

"Again. Who's 'him'? And no offence, but do you really expect me to believe that I hummingbird can protect me? But you're like a 100th of my size, and that's saying something considering that I am pretty short"

"Oh, that's because I'm the one who's suppose to be watching over you, Prin- Evie"

"Woah, woah, woah. So what your saying is that you've been stalking me my whole life? Wait a sec. That was you? You were the one who slammed into that hand in the mirror?"

"Hmmmm. Well if watching over you 24/7 is called stalking, then yes. I have been stalking you. And yes, that was me."

Ok this is just getting too weird.

"What was that? The hand. What was that?" I demanded.

"I'm afraid that's all I can tell you for now."

"Riiiiiiigggghhhht"

As awkward as it was, it was actually pretty nice to find out that I actually had parents who cared about me enough to send me two guardians. It gives me a warm feeling inside.

As I was about to speak again, I hear a high pitched scream, West from where I was standing.

I ran towards that direction with Melody following close behind until I came to a clearing.

What I saw made me mad.

Tenten and Lee were on the ground panting, bruises all over their body, and unable to get up.

Standing over them were some rogue ninja. There were a whole lot of them. Like 6 or 7.

I looked around for Guy Sensei since he was the only jonin there only to find him paralyzed and tied to a tree.

Really?! I expected waaayyy much more from him than that. He's suppose to be a freakin' jonin! The worthy rival who might possibly beat the Copy-cat Ninja, Kakashi, in a fight! And now he's tied to a tree.

That's it! If we get out of this alive, he's getting a serious lecture!

I look to the left to see Neji struggling with the enemy, blood dripping from his mouth. He had his Byakugan activated and was paler than usual due to blood loss.

Now I'm running a little past mad and was now angry.

I look to the right and what I saw, made me snap.

Katie was collapsed on the floor, unconscious, with a battered face full of bruises while Emily was struggling to get off of the floor with what looks like a broken leg and a red gash right across her back.

How DARE they.

How dare they just come marching in and hurt all my friends.

All of them.

Katie, Emily, Tenten, Lee, Guy, even Neji.

Even though he was a pain in the ass, and we were going all out on each other, we were like frenemies. I have grown very attached to all of them, even if it has only been a few days, and I would hate for anything to happen to them.

Oh haaaail no.

NO. ONE. HURTS MY FRIENDS WITHOUT GETTING OUT UNINJURED.

I feel something hot and violent writhing in my stomach.

I wanted to hurt them, so I will.

Guy's POV

How could i be so careless?

Kakashi would never let this go if he ever found out.

My students are in danger.

I'M COMING LEE.

I struggle to get free but it was no use, I had no feeling in my limp body.

I cannot give up!

I will not lose!

I struggle once again and felt my finger twitch.

Its working. I began getting some feeling back into my hand.

Hang on team! It'll only be a little while more!

I look up into the distance just in time to see Evelyn emerge from the trees.

I was about to yell and warn her to go get help and save herself. But I stopped myself when I saw her face.

Her face turned completely red and you can see smoke coming from her ears. And her eyes. Her innocent looking self with that calm and soothing look in her eyes now turned to pure rage as they flash blood red for a second.

Before I could react, she suddenly appears behind the rogue ninja fighting Neji with incredible speed and delivers a round house kick sending the guy, 85 miles per hour, 400 meters, head first, through seven trees and halfway though a 10 feet tall boulder.

O_O

Incredible.

Her speed can rival lee's when opened the 5th Gate of Limit and her strength. Shes like a mini Tsunade. I was still gaping at the sight. Who knew what strength she had.

Evelyn POV

I was angry.

No.

I was furious.

There was only one thing in my mind that was playing over and over again.

They had to pay.

Not giving anytime for the other rogues to attack, I flash in front of another one throwing a punch which he blocked.

Surprise, surprise. This one's better than the last.

He gives a sloppy kick aiming for my sides. I dodge causing him to lose his balance, letting me rush in closer to punch him to the ground, creating a giant crater the size of a blimp and knocking him out in process.

I smirk, turning to the last guy, which seems to be a woman.

"Not so fast kid, you still have to get through me. And I wont hesitate to kill you"

Wasting no time, she rushes forward and throws all of her weight into one punch which I caught with no effort.

"Well aren't you hasty to get this fight over with. Don't worry, I'll make sure that this will be over quickly" I said.

Since when did I start getting cocky? These people are influencing me.

She doesn't answer as she pivots and forces her elbow into my back, catching me off guard.

I growl. The blow stings, but I barely notice it and jump back to create space between us.

She quickly throws a few shuriken and preforms some hand signs.

"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu" she yells before blowing a giant fire ball which engulfs the shuriken.

Great. now I have a bunch of flaming shuriken headed towards me.

Without thinking, I perform a bunch of hand signs myself.

"Crystal Style: Crystal Pentagonal Prison"

Crystals suddenly appear out of nowhere and encases the shuriken and then shatters causing the shuriken to face the same fate.

She groans in frustration, sending a kick to my head.

As I dodge, I don't see a punch another coming towards me.

She drives her fist into my stomach followed with a sweep kick causing me to fall and cough up blood afterwards.

I get up, ignoring the pain and block another punch.

She hurls another punch and I dodge, kneeing her in the gut sending her up a few feet in the air.

Not giving her time to recover, I appear above her and deliver a kick straight to the ground making her suffer the same fate as the previous guy I fought. She stays conscious unlike the last guy and coughs up blood.

"W- What are you? A- Are you a monster?"

I laugh.

"Maybe I am" I said walking towards the limp body.

"Then again, maybe I just love seeing you suffer"

I kick her once again, knocking her out.

I could've just ended all of their lives, but that would be too much. I'm not a murderer and I'm not planning to be one. Let's just leave it at that.

I turn to face Neji to see him just staring at me with his Byakugan activated.

"You guys ok?" I ask.

He doesn't reply.

"Hello?" I ask again, waving a hand in front of his face getting him to snap out of it.

"How did you do that? You didn't contain this much chakra before. Now there's a large amount and it's increasing more and more each second that's passing by. Not to mention you took them out in a matter of minutes"

"Ummm. I really don't know. I just snapped. I really wasn't even thinking about what I was doing. It just happened. And stop that! It feels like your staring down into my soul or something! It's kinda creepy."

"Evelyn! That was incredible! But I think we should go untie Guy Sensei and get Emily and Katie to the hospital before we start celebrating" Tenten said interupting.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah" I said turning around and heading towards my injured friends.

Then I felt a presence.

"WATCH OUT! BEHIND YOU!" I heard lee yell.

I turned just in time to see another rogue behind me about to plunge a kunai into my shoulder.

I did NOT see that coming.

I panicked and screamed. Then I collapse to the ground, throwing my hands in the air and protecting my head, waiting for the blow.

But it never comes.

I look up and just stared at the sight before me.

The guy was frozen in his tracks.

Literally.

He was encased in ice.

I continued staring. Then I looked in the direction or Neji, Lee, and Tenten.

They just stared at me.

"Did i do that?" I asked.

They looked at me and nodded.

There was silence.

I looked at them and they looked at me.

Then I realized something.

"Wait a minute. Neji! you have the Byakugan! You saw him! Why didn't you tell me?! Are you trying to kill me?!" I said, jabbing a finger at him.

"I couldn't warn you"

"Oh? And why's that?!"

"I couldn't detect them in the first place. They're jonin. Remember? They masked their chakra well. If it wasn't for you inhuman speed and strength, we probably wouldn't have gotten out alive"

"Oh so now you're calling me inhuman!"

Ok. I change my mind on what I said before about Neji being a pain in the ass. He's the very definition of an ass.

"It's suppose to be a compliment. You saved us"

I looked at him, searching for any signs of a lie, but there wasn't.

Woah! The great and holy Neji ACTUALLY complimented someone.

I smile a little.

"Well I hope you actually mean that"

He nods and turns to untie Guy only to find that he was already free.

Oh. So NOW the paralysis decides to wear off.

I turn to go get Emily and Katie.

Katie was still unconscious but Emily was awake and leaning against a tree for support.

On my way over, Melody catches up to me and lands on my shoulder.

With all the ruckus going on, I kinda forgot about her.

"So, I see you got some of your power to leak out..." she says.

"Some? You're kidding right?"

"Does it seem like something that I would lie about?"

I didn't answer.

Instead, I ask another question.

"Tell me. What was that? I don't remember learning any jutsu or manipulating ice"

Seeing how I already reached Emily and Katie, Melody whispers into my ear.

"I'll tell you later..."

*Chapter 5. Done! Yay! Plz comment. I'd like to see how I'm doing so far on my first story!*
