Chapter 6: Lucky seven
Jr looked out the window of the train at the on coming stop. Jr awoke his companions and shuffled to the door. They all filed off and headed to the nearby town. They arrived at a water fall. The sight was amazing. Jr scanned the surroundings as the others ran into the water. A shadow ran into the forest. Jr saw this and followed. Jr cought sight of a figure in the trees and hid. He looked around the tree to see a girl with mint green hair and tan skin. He watched as she plucked a few apples from the tree. Jr moved towards the girl when he tripped over a tree root. The girl jumped down and held a kunai over his head "who are you?1 And what do you want!?" She demanded. Jr looked up at her and scanned the girl, a familier magic energy emmited from the girl. Jr quickly activated his Ryu me and grabbed the girls leg.
Their surroundings changed to the sealing chamber of Shinku. Jr looked behined the girl to see a caged beetle with a blue exoskeleton with seven tails that six were used as wings. Jr looked at the girl as she turned her gaze away from the dragon behined the teen "whats your name?" Jr asked. The girl snapped back to reality and focused on the teen that stood over her. Before the girl could answer the genjutsu faded as the girl ran.
"hey wait!" the girl vanished from sight. Jr sighed and returned to his friends. He saw the three drying off. They looked over to him.
"hey Jr whats wrong?" Mace asked. Jr shook his head.
"nothing, just tired" Jr decided to keep the girl from them. They scanned the pool as they looked at their map.
"it says the entrance should be right here..."
"are you trying to find the entrance to Takigakure?" They turned to see the girl from before.
"who are you?" Hex asked. The girl walked over to them.
"i'm Fu, a villager of Takigakure, are you trying to find the entrance?"
"yeah we heard a jinchuuriki lived here so we decided to stop by" Ally said. Fu looked at Jr then to the pool.
"here its this way" Fu walked into the deeper parts of the pool and dove in. Jr and the others followed. Fu swam into a tunnel with the four Jinchuuriki in tow. They exited the tunnel and rose to the surface. They were met be a group of soldiers with long spears. A man in faded blue clothes appeared.
"Fu, how dare you bring outsiders to the village!" he grabbed the girl by her hair and hefted her up. Fu cringed as he glared at Her. Jr seperated the two and looked at the man.
"it was a request" Jr removed his jacket to reveal his guild mark.
"i'm a member of the Fairy Tail guild, i got a request that there was a monster here so i came to kill it" Fu was in shock until she saw Jr's fingers crossed behined his back. Fu held back a giggle. The man ceased is accusations and scoffed the the them as he left. Jr sighed in relief as Ally laughed. Fu lead them through the village. Jr watched the glares of hate and distaste aimed at Fu from the villagers. Jr's demon cloak would've crushed them all if Fu had'nt placed her hand on his arm.
"don't worry about them" Fu said as she could sense his killer intent. Jr looked at her and nodded.
"only because you said so" Fu smiled as they come up on an estate. Fu opened the door and gestured for the four to come inside.
"Momma i'm home!" she called. A woman emerged from the kitchen, she had hair and skin akin to her daughter's, she was tall except Mace stood over her by a few inches.
"welcome back Fu-chan, and who are these four?" The woman looked to the four Jinchuuriki.
"hi i'm Jr, but please just call me Ryu"
(A/N: this will be Jr's name from now on because i cam eup with the name in another fic i used him in)
"i'm Mace its a pleasure miss..?"
"please call me Tatsumaki" She gave the man a smile. He blushed. Ryu saw this and laughed alongside Fu.
"i'm Hex" Hex waved with a smile.
"and i'm Ally!" The brunette grinned. They all sat down at The dinning room table soon after their introductions.
"i'm here because we heard a Jinchuuriki lives here" Ryu watched as Tatsumaki expression turned to sadness, Fu looked at her mother in worry. Ryu knew this would happan and nodded.
"allow us to truelly introduce ourselves" Ryu stood up and placed his hands on their heads, he looked to his companions as they placed their hands on his shoulders. He closed his eyes and opened them activating his dojutsu.
"Ryu me!" the scenary changed for them as they now stood in large temple with numerous drawings and images of the ancient path. Ryu guided the group through the structure into a large room filled with shelves of books and scrolls. Inside as well were three large beatial forms.
"we are Jinchuuriki like Fu-chan Tatsumaki-chan" Ryu turned to the mother of the mint-green haired girl. Withen moments Shinzo appeared around a corner. the red head looked up from the scroll and smiled at them.
"oi Ryu-san!" she waved.
"oi Shi-chan!" Ryu waved back as she rolled up the scroll and ran over to them.
"Tatsumaki-chan, Fu-chan this is Shinzo, she's a sorta second soul in my seal"
"seal for what?" Fu asked. At that moment booming noise echoed through the library. The others jumped as a grumbling Juubi came around a corner and glared at his host.
"whaddya wake me for?!" he groaned.
"to meet our friends" Shinzo looked at the two new comers as the others walked over to their respective bijuu.
"Fu, Tatsumaki we would like to introduce you to our bijuu" Juubi looked at the two and growled. Shinzo shot hima look. Ally grunted as Sanbi moved forward.
"as you know i'm Ally and this is my partner Sanbi" Sanbi raised its head high and eye smiled.
"humans call me Sanbi but my name's Isobu" Fu smiled at the two as a large blue winged beetle towered over her.
"i'm Fu and this..."
"i'm Nanabi but since we're gonna be friends you can call me Chomei!" the seven tailed beetle seemed rather kiddy next to the others. Ryu chuckled as intro's went on.
"I'm Mace and this is my peer and friend..."
"the humans gave us names based on our number of tails but we were each given honorable names! I am Son handsome ape! king of the suiren caves! i am Son Goku!, I'm the king of the sage monkeys" Son crossed his arms before flexing showing his superior upper body. Fu sweat dropped as Mace copied his friends actions. Ryu resisted a laugh.
"i'm next then, as i have said i am Hex, and this is my new friend..."
"we had difficult times and we never really got along until we joined Jr-san, im the Rokubi also known as Saiken" The slug demon looked down at them. Juubi roared in anger causing everyone to jump as the room trembled.
"i've had it with you weaklings! i dont care who you are i want you all gone!" Juubi bellowed as he formed a tailed beast ball and aimed said blast at the others. Shinzo stepped infront of Juubi no Ryu as he defused the blast. He looked down at her and glared.
"the humans call us ichibi, Nibi, Sabi, Yonbi, Gobi, Rokubi, Nanabi, Hachibi, Kyuubi and Juubi, we are alive, we are lving things just like you, and yet you humans sealed us inside you taking away our right to live and exist!" Ryu looked up at the dragon in sadness, he never realized how being sealed inside human was so painful to a bijuu. Shinku looked at Ryu as Shinzo walked over to her host. Shinku scoffed as he marched off.
Everyone returned to reality as Ryu gasped for air. He was sweating beads as his legs gave out and he collapsed. The others rushed to his side as Shinzo appeared before next to him and laid him on the ground "is he okay!?" Hex looked at the red head.
"he'll be fine after some rest, but just to be safe..." she removed the teen's head banned and tied hit over his eyes.
"no using your eyes for at least an hour, you need to rest, is there a room he can sleep in?" she looked to Tatsumaki. She nodded and guided the two upstairs. Tatsumaki left the two as Shinzo laid the boy down on the bed. He turned to her and chuckled.
"guess your gonna have to watch over my again huh?" Shinzo chuckled as a dragon tooth ocarina appeared in her hand. The others were walking to their rooms when she begane to play. The sound was unearthly, as if the angels were singing from the heavans, the sound brought peace to mind, body and soul, the song spread throught Takigakure. Ryu listened to the song of the ocarina, the sound sent him to his dreams as his memories of his mother and sisters, of his guild and guild mates, of the master. Tears formed in his eyes but were soaked up by the forehead protector. Ryu drifted off to sleep and Shinzo left the room.
