Ch.5 Soulest, Death Wakers, and killer Teddy bears
Kira woke up that morning and groaned when she saw the clock, she was going to be late. She hopped out of the bed and quickly went through her morning routine and was out the door faster then Naruto and a bowl of ramen.
"Hey, Katsumi wait up!" Kira ignored the voice knowing who it was as she made beeline for school. "Stop, hey I know you can hear me!" the small Inuzuka yelled. The kid look just like Kiba but with two small differences: he had a pair of wolf ears and a tail. "Halt!" the child held up his hands but Kira just went through the tiny wolf.
"Now, that was mean!" he shouted holding his stomach. "You know I hate being walked through!" Kira swatted the annoying little phantom until there was noting but pale blue smoke, but once she stop he gained his form back.
Kira sighed; she knew he would try to get her to talk all day, he never gives up, and it's been 3 damn weeks since she has seen the kid trying to talk to this woman, but of course the woman couldn't see or hear him and, well, the rest you could probably guess. Kira went to the kid seeing that he was an Inuzuka, only to find out the kid was a ghost.
Kira felt bad for not talking to the pup but she was holding on to the little of her insanity she had left, being sucked into a psycho computer, and thrusted in the Naruto world, then being attacked by a cockatoo who can't catch a hint even if it hit him in the face, so she was a little reluctant to have a conversation with a deceased child. Oh and did she mention she had a phobia of paranormal things.
"Katsumi, please just look at me, do you know how it feels to be dead and watch your friends and family grow old, to have no one see you, hold you." Aww fuck! Kira rubbed her face and looked at the pup.
"What's your name kid?"
"Call me Talon!" His wagged his tail.
"What are you like 5?" she grumbled making her way to school.
"Um along those lines," he laughed. "When I was alive I was 5, but now I'm about, hmm... 16."
"Oh, not that bad?"
"Thousand."
"Excuse me!"
"Yeah, I'm 16 thousand years old. I look good huh." He joked.
"Wow you were around a long time." She mused to herself as she reached the school.
"Yeah, it's been really lonely, especial after you were kidnapped." He mumbled nonchalantly.
Kira whipped around facing the pup…or old pup, taken back. "Wait, we knew each other?"
"Yeah,we use to play when you were little." Talon answered, scratching his ear like a dog. "All the time."
"You know you could have just told me that!" Kira yelled.
"Uh, Katsumi who are ya talkin to?" Mimi looked at the candy blue hair girl with concern.
"Um, no one…I just…um." Kira scrabbled for something.
"Mimi, you know that Kat is weird, just as long as she doesn't start talking to a pole." Ali snickered.
"Hey, zip it Ari you said you wouldn't speak of that day." Kira glared.
"I'm not goin' ta ask." Mimi shook her head, walking away.
"You know you're in trouble, right?" Ali took a kunai and tossed it up and down.
"Yeah, how pissed is he?" Kira moaned.
"Severely!" Ari sighed. "You were called twice for the test; you owe me for covering you."
"Oh thanks Ali you're the best!" she hugged Ali.
"Yeah, and one more thing, I think we should start calling each other by our other names." Ali mention as they walked into the class room. "It's been getting confusing sometimes on which name to call you. I mean, I have to pause before I call your name."
"Do we have to?" Kira whined stomping her feet. "I like my real name!"
"Yes! You owe me this!" Ali, who is now Ari, barked.
"Hisakawa Katsumi!" Iruka boomed. "Tell me why you are five hours late for class and why I shouldn't fail you along with Naruto!"
"Heheh, uh... well, you see... what happen was... uh, last night I had woken up and I couldn't go back to sleep so I took some sleeping pills and those bitches knocked me the fuck out—oops." Katsumi winced knowing she was going to pay for saying two swear words in front of her sensei.
"Hisakawa Katsumi!" one of the test instructors called her and she couldn't help but be relieved for being called before Iruka could make her run 10 miles.
A minute later, Katsumi came out of the testing room with her headband, passing the test with ease. "Sadly, I'm disappointed I did so well."
"What, why? I wish I could have finished the test without a sweat!" Kiba laughed. "It took me at least three tries."
"Yeah well, who cares! I just want to get on a team!" Ari yelled. Katsumi laughed at Ari as she lied back in the grass, staring at her headband, looking at her reflection when her a memory hit her like a brick wall.
No longer in her 12 year old body but in a 5 year old one, Katsumi gazed around her. Bodies littered the ground, blood covered the walls and fighting could still be heard in some other room. She was scared but she couldn't remember why, mommy, where was her mommy? Slowly walking around the bodies, she looked for her mother and when she found her sitting in a chair, she reached to touch her but she found that her little arms were cover in blood all the way up to her elbows and so were her legs. Terrified, she grabbed onto her mother, for her to simply fall over on the child. Katsumi looked at the women and froze; in front of her was a pale blue figure of her mother standing next to her with a worried face.
"Run! Run now!" her mother screamed. "Don't let them catch you!"
She shook her head as she tried to touch her mother. "I can fix it, I can fix you." She sobbed as she reached for the body, her long blue pigtails soaking in the blood that pooled on the floor.
"No, no my baby," her mother knelt down, her short blue hair flipping out from her face, her matching eyes full of guilt. "Mommy has to go, you can't put mommy back her in body, not like Uncle Kio, mommy must leave."
"B-b-ut whyyy I don't want you toooo! Please don't leave." She blubbered, yanking on her ponytails.
Her mother cupped her face. "You are too strong for your age." She kissed her daughter's forehead. "You'll have plenty of time to fix people in the future but, now, you have to run."
"NO!" Katsumi screamed stomping her feet.
"Katsumi! I said RUN!" The child looked at her mother, frightened by her toned, realizing she needed to run. "I'll visit…" her mother promised and the child took off as fast as her small legs could take her, to the only place she knew, the Uchiha compound.
Running into the compound, Katsumi didn't stop to look around, as she jump over dead bodies of people she knew and loved, she kept running when she saw Sasuke from a window. He looked just as scared as her and he was talking to someone, maybe he knew what was happening! Putting all of her strength into getting to the window, she saw a shadow pass the window then she no longer saw Sasuke.
"Suesake!" she screamed, going to the window, to find him unconscious. "Suesake? Hey! Wake up!" she shook him but he didn't respond. "Hey come on stop playing!" she yelled when the figure from before appeared in front of her. "Come on Suesake we have to go!" she cried as the figure got closer, turning her eyes from the figure to her friend on the ground to see he still had his soul in his body, so why wasn't he waking up?
"It's time to go Katsumi." The figure reached out for her picking her up as she kicked and screamed for Sasuke, pulling at the attacker's hair and biting his arm but nothing worked."Suesake! Wake up please!" she yelled reaching for her fallen friend losing her bracelet in the process.
"Katsumi calm down!" the figure's warm voice begged, but she paid no mind. "Katsumi!"
"Katsumi!" she was jolted awake by a pair of strong hands holding her shoulders. "Katsumi clam down." Feeling someone wipe her eyes free of tears, she saw that Sasuke was the one holding her and to top things off the whole class surround them; Ari, Mimi and Naruto were in the middle of the group along with Iruka. Pushing away from Sasuke, she wiped her own eyes and her nose with the back of her hand, dusting herself off slowly making her way out of the crowd.
"Kat-"
"Stop saying my name, and I'm fine!" she didn't mean to scream but shit she was shaken up. Hell, she knew the bird ass after all.
"Yeah, right! I just spent the last 20 minute trying to wake you up!" Sasuke yelled back at her for once.
A little taken back she shook her head. "Well thank you but I'm awake now and I'm fine."
"Like fuck you are, your still shaking with a death grip on your headband." Sure enough she was strangling her Hitaiate. "What did you remember?"
"NOTHING!" she hissed getting tired of playing 20 questions.
"Bullshit, you kept calling out my childhood nickname you gave me. Suesake, for someone who couldn't remember anything damn thing, how the fuck did you know that name!" His voice rising."Cause I know I never fucking told anyone!"
"You better watch who the fuck you talking to Uchiha, I will drop kick your damn skinny ass!" she bit out stepping up in his face.
"That enough! Goth of you!" Iruka stepped in, giving the chance for Katsumi to walk away but the rooster ass didn't let her get far.
"Katsumi!" Growling, she ignored him, reminding herself to hurt Ari, for making them take their other names. "Katsumi, please just wait." He grabbed her arm pulling her to the side, which so happen to be his compound. Damn it all to hell!
"Let me go Uchiha!" she tried to get her arm back. Getting irritated, she brought her leg up, kicking him in the stomach but he blocked her attempt, grabbing her leg and twisting it until she was forced to fall to the ground. Kicking out her leg she tripped him and brought her elbow down onto his stomach. Rolling out of the way before her elbow hit his stomach, he glared at her, getting up.
"Just tell me damnit!"
"Go suck a fat one!" Sasuke stare at her fiercely before smirking then charging at her, grabbing her by her waist and squeezing hard. Katsumi screamed out with laughter as she squirmed to get out of his hold. Damn him he knew my weak spot.
"Now, tell me!"
"F-fuccck you!" she laughed even though she didn't want to, she couldn't help but to laugh. If anyone every squeezed her there, she instantly became a useless case of giggles.
"No? Okay then your choice." He clutched her tighter making her squeal out.
"OK!" she screamed.
"What was that?" he asked, clenching her waist again.
"I'll tell you!" she glared.
"Good." He smirked, Katsumi then returned his smirk, punched him in his stomach and took off running.
"You bitch!" he groaned as he ran after her. Katsumi ran with her pigtails whipping wildly behind her, as she avoids the pissed off turkey.
"Do you really think you could escape from me?" Katsumi turned around to find Sasuke in front of her. Damn it! Quickly she turned to the left then, jumping up on to buildings, ran and jumped off of them.
"Watcha runnin from?" Katsumi looked up to see Talon floating above her.
"A bird that won't fly home!" she grumbled, jumping down from the building, then running into an alley.
"Can I help?" he asked cheerfully.
"I don't think you will be much help." She sighed, looking around the corner seeing if she lost her bird.
"You know talking to yourself isn't healthy." Katsumi cursed as she saw the emo king himself behind her.
"I can really help, you know." Talon insisted when Katsumi was free from Sasuke.
"Fine, Talon you can help me." She groaned.
"Good, now try to calm yourself…don't look at me like that." Rolling her eyes she did as she was told and tried to focus on running and the wind through her hair. "Great, now relax your muscles and clear your mind." At total ease Katsumi stopped at another alleyway.
"Talon I don't see how this is helping."
"Shut up and close your eyes. Now then, take a deep breath."
"Talon-"
"Do it!"
"Shit ok!" she frowned, doing as instructed.
"Now open them." Rising her lids, she gasped, stumbling back.
"Talon where the fuck am I?"
All around her were people just like Talon: pale blue in color and transparent, the world was just as wash out as an old pair of Mimi's jeans. Everything was dull in color.
"Welcome to the Shade! Or also known as the world of death, where everyone here is, well, dead!"
"What do you mean dead? So am I dead?" she hollered at the ghost next to her.
"No." he deadpanned walking away.
"What do you mean no! Then how the hell am I here?" She barked.
"Look up at the roof, Katsumi." Seeing that she wasn't going to get an answer, she complied.
"Is…is that Sasuke?" She jumped onto the roof, looking at the boy and indeed, it was him, but he couldn't see her and, strangely, he was full of color. His clothes and hair seemed intense against the washout world she was in.
"He's Aliving." Katsumi turned to the boy. "Dead people are pale in color and the living people are full of color, as you can tell…while you're in the Shade if you see a person in color their Aliving, meaning a living person."
"Ok. But that doesn't tell me how I got here." She muttered while she followed Sasuke, who was still looking for her.
"You're a Soulest. You can do anything possible with a soul: putting it back into its body, a body or even an object. You can hold a soul in your body, taking their bloodline power until you release the soul or it dies." At this Katsumi tripped, falling on her face.
"I can do that?" she gaped while on the floor.
"And so much more…"
"Damn…ok" she got up, dusting herself. "What are the drawbacks?"
"Well like anything: use too much Chakra, you'll exhaust yourself. Could end up killing you." He shrugged.
"That's it! Nothing else?"
"Nope." Talon popped the "p" as he crossed his legs, floating in the air. Damn her and being a Fucking Mary Sue, shit man how could she forget that damn Mary Sues' have some ultimate power or some shit like that.
"Fine, you wouldn't happen to know about Ari and her power?"
"Ah, yes, she is a Death Waker, she can raise the dead but they're still dead and with that she can make them do anything, tell her information on when they were alive, bring her lunch, build an army."
"So basically she can make them do anything she wants."
"Pretty much."
"Damn!" Katsumi closed her eyes while pulling her hair free from the bonds, getting a candy blue pool at her feet. "Let me guess... There's someone after me and Ari, for our power."
"Yes, the meaning for your kidnapping…at least half of it." But she didn't hear the last part.
"How do you know all of this?"
"We knew each other when you were little remember?"
"How do I get out of the Shade?" she asked, pinching the bridge of her nose.
"The same way you got in." Calming her nerves and closing her eyes Katsumi was a "poof" or whatever back into the world of the living.
"This is just too weird." She complained.
"Mommy I want that teddy bear, for my birthday!" Katsumi looked at where a little girl was pointing and got an idea.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Talon muttered backing up as she neared him.
"A little experiment, come with me." She then ran into the toy shop and saw the cutest little panda plushie, grabbed it, purchased it and ran out the store, then to the nearest training ground. "Ok, Talon it's teaching time."
Catching on, Talon cursed. "There is no way in hell I'm getting into that thing!"
"Oh please, I just want to see if it's all true!" she begged.
"So, you're calling me a liar!"
"No, it's just seeing is believing!"
"Now you don't believe in air!"
"Damnit just teach me!"
"Fine!" he gave in. "Place your hand on the bear, then on mine, then channel your chakra through your hands then the rest should come naturally." And it did, Katsumi inhaled a deep breath, taking Talon's soul in her body and out into the Panda bear.
Staring at the bear Katsumi saw the soul of Talon swirl in the eyes of the plushie before it blinked once, twice, three times, then glared at her. "Happy now!" he hissed.
"Ahhh, I did it!" she grabbed the bear and squished him. "You are soooo cute too!"
"I bet you did this so you could buy the bear."
"Only half." She spoke, still nuzzling him.
"Well in that case…" he trailed off as he bit her arm.
"KAHHHHH! What the hell?" she waved her arm wildly in the air trying to get him off. "Why are you biting me?"
"That's for putting in this form!" he snapped as he let go.
"But how did you bite me? You're a stuffed bear!" she whimpered.
"Because you put my soul into it, giving me a form so now I can use my chakra to form teeth or claws." To prove his point, five very big, very sharp claws pushed through the cushion of the bear's paws.
"Talk about evil teddy bear…" she murmured.
"But…it feels…nice to have a form again…so…thanks."
"Oh," she smirked. "So you want to stay in that form?"
"Well," he cleared his throat. "I'm not saying I do, but if you don't want to take me out…"
"Good because you're too cute!" she squealed grabbing onto him again. "And now I'll name you Bandit and you shall be my Bandit, I'll love and I'll kiss you and take care of you!"
"Um, is there a reason why you are talking like a child?" Turning around without stopping her cuddling, Katsumi saw Sasuke looking confused. Oh shit I forgot all about him.
"Loowies what I's gots!" she giggled like a 5 year old holding out Bandit.
"'Sup." Katsumi heard Talon speak and watched Sasuke's eyes widen.
"Holy shit! It just talked!" he yelled pointing at the panda.
"Um are you ok?" She asked trying to hide her smile. Hehe this is going to be fun!
"That Panda just spoke!"
"Of course I can you Baka!" Talon egged on.
"Come on cockatoo, I think we need to get you home."
"I'm not crazy!" he howled.
"Yeah and I have wings." Talon laughed as Sasuke turned pale.
"Come on lets go home." Katsumi smiled. Mwahahaha I'm soo going to torture him.
Sasuke let himself be led by Katsumi but he kept his eyes on the Panda, there's one this for sure...it was evil...just like his brother. He glared at the bear when the panda turned his head at an unnatural angle before doing the "I got my eyes on you" hand motion. Yes, it was pure evil.
