Chapter 2: Walks and Dreams
The two had just gathered their food shopping, when Ino, Sakura, Tenten and Hinata came round the corner.
"Heya Naruto!" Sakura yelled. The girl jogged over to them followed by the others.
"What ya doing?" Said Ino. Kai decided to make herself know to the girls by stepping out from behind Naruto.
"Our new house needs some bedroom makeovers, so we were just about to shop around" she said.
The girls smiled at Kia. "Come with us!" said Tenten.
"Yeah!" the others agreed. Kia gave Naruto a pleading look come on just this once…
Naruto sighed, he hadn't even spent 1 hour with her and already she was running off…
"Fine" he said and the girls squealed "But I want you back by 9pm" (It's 7:30 now) "Yeah, yeah…" said Ino as they sauntered off down the street.
The girls went from shop to shop until they found the perfect one.
"Oh my gosh! It's perfect!" Kia breathed.
There was the perfect display. (AN. will be described)
Kia bought it all and told the others she would get Naruto clones to do up her room.
Ino, Sakura and Tenten went their separate ways and Kia and Hinata made their way to Teal Drive.
"So, um, you know Naruto quite well then?" Hinata (badly) attempted at conversation.
"Well, yeah we're really close!" Kia responded.
"Oh…" Hinata sounded crestfallen.
Picking up on this Kia waved her arms franticly . "Oh! No! Not like that!" she yelled and added quietly "More like brother and sister…"
"Oh!" This time Hinata almost sounded happy… and hopeful?
Kia stopped "Wait, why would you care?" she thought for a moment and Hinata began to sweat.
Kia suddenly grinned that Hinata noticed was a lot like Naruto's. "You like him don't you?" It was more of a statement than a question.
This time it was Hinata that waved her arms franticly "N-n-no! O-o-of c-c-course n-n-not!" she stuttered.
Kia looked at her saying Don't lie to me.
Hinata sighed "I admire him very much…" she said quietly.
Kia smirked triumphantly "Yeah, Yeah!"
The two walked in silence until…
"Are you stronger than Naruto?!" Hinata blurted out.
Kia glanced at Hinata and sighed.
"I guess…" she muttered "I mean I wouldn't be training him if I wasn't!"
"You see him as your equal" Hinata said with a smile "Not many people do…"
"Well those people should!" Kia said with a huff.
Hinata giggled "Well this is my stop" she said as they came into Teal road.
"Yeah…" Kia also giggled "You coming to watch my matchs tomorrow?"
"Of course!" Hinata called out as she walked into the Hyuuga grounds.
As she turned to wave, she gasped. Kia was walking into the estate she had admired since she was a little girl.
"Bye!" Kia yelled to a stunned Hinata and gulped seeing an evil looking Naruto.
Hinata having gotten over her shock and seeing the evil Naruto, checked her watch and shyly called "Good luck!"
And with what looked like a smirk she added "For the match I mean!" and disappeared inside.
Kia cursed her friend and turned to Naruto.
"What time is it?" he asked far too calmly than Kia was comfortable with.
"Erm, 10:20?" she squeaked.
"Yes and what time should you have been home by?" he asked again.
"9:00?" Naruto opened his mouth to speak but Kia cut him off.
"But I was chatting with Hinata!" she said.
Naruto's eye's visibly softened.
"Whatever…" he muttered grabbing her bags and walking up the stairs to prepare her room.
"Your room will be done in a few minutes, mine's done 'cause I got here on TIME!"
Kia sniggered "Cover up! He so likes her…" she thought.
Kia's Room:
A cream bed with dark red swirls on, dark red pillows, black carpet and dark red walls.
Naruto's Room:
A brown bed with dark blue swirls on, dark blue pillows, cream carpet and dark blue walls.
Once the room was done Kia went to her room and smiled.
"Perfect!" she thought but shivered as she knew what was coming, her favourite dream! (Not!)
Dream…
A 12 year old female genin with fiery red hair ran alongside her sensei and 2 teammates.
They were close teammates, the best of friends and they respected their sensei.
This was their 10th C-rank mission, their last needed mission for entering the chunin exams.
It was a simple mission really, pass on a scroll to the Sand Village.
Little did they know that that scroll was in code so if it was taken it would say:
Would Armies Rebel In Sand 'Cause Onlookers Might Inflict Numerous Gnashes?
Which meant: W.A.R. I.S. C.O.M.I.N.G.
Also it had a particular seal that the Akatsuki needed on it and the Akatsuki were going to get it.
The team came to a holt when Luca heard a sound from behind, everyone glared at the bushes.
An odd looking person with an orange mask with one hole in came out from the bushes.
"What does Tobi have here?" he said in a cheery voice
"Hand over the scroll!" he sung
That's when the sensei, Mayate noticed the cloak. "Akatsuki!" she whispered.
"Stay back!" she ordered, the team opened their mouths to argue but she narrowed her eyes and said
"That is an order, this is way out of you league!"
Although the fighter named Tobi acted weird, his fighting skills were flawless.
Mayate was tiring quickly and even using her best jutsus she was barely holding up.
The genins glanced worriedly between each other and nodded.
Damien shoved his sensei out the way and the 3 attacked in a complicated formation.
Mayate stood breathing heavily.
Her, a jonin was battered and bruised from a short –from Tobi's point of view- spar.
These genins were going to be killed.
"This is my duty!" she thought.
Mayate began performing slow handseals, gathering chakra with each one.
Her right hand glowed red and she charged at Tobi, fist raised.
She aimed a punch at his head and missed but her leg came up with a glowing foot and kicked him in the chest missing his heart but a few inches.
They both flew back, coughing up blood.
Mayate hit a tree and slumped back.
Smiling she remembered the team's first meeting.
Flashback within a dream…
Mayate could hear screaming on the other side of the academy door.
She walked in frowning, her team were animals…
One boy with black hair and blue eyes was flicking chewing gum up at the ceiling.
The other two -a girl with red hair and brown eyes and a boy with brown hair and green eyes- were beating the hell out of each other and yelling insults.
Mayate coughed "Names?" she barked.
The new genins turned to face her.
"Damien Hosuka…" the chewing gum kid said monotonously, "Kia Kion!" the red head beamed, "Luca Jirobe I am soooo awsom-"
Before his great speech had barely begun, Kia -smiling insanely- whispered something in his ear, he immediately paled.
"Great!" Mayate thought "A jackass, a psycho and a blockhead! Just perrrfect…"
Mayate felt the darkness closing in on her, so wishing her team luck Mayate Tsitaka, leaf nin jonin, leader of team 16 died.
The genin looked back and seeing their sensei die vowed vengeance on the man, Tobi.
But they did not get it they're revenge…
Standing in a triangle around Tobi, the three began a jutsu together.
"Kyūin no sankakkei no jutsu!"(Suction triangle jutsu) they all yelled.
A barrier began to form around and the wind picked up.
The barrier suddenly fell and Damien and Kia looked towards Luca.
He was gasping desperately with a sword through his chest, the same sword that was on Tobi's back.
But no one had seen the man move from the middle of the triangle.
Luca fell to the ground and Kia was going to rush to heal him when Damien shook his head signalling it was too late.
Tears poured down Kia's face, although she may have been annoyed by him before, he was now one of her best friends.
Just minutes later Damien was also on the floor, lying dead.
By now Kia was openly sobbing.
She was violently thrown against a tree and was being held by her throat.
"You were too weak to protect them!" Tobi motioned to the bodies on the ground "Come find me when you think your strong enough to endure this!"
Though his one eyed mask Tobi turned on his Mangekyō Sharingan and showed her 72 hours of her team dying.
This scared her for life.
End dream
Kia woke up drenched in sweat from her dream, boy did she wish it was just a dream.
She glanced at the clock, it read 2am.
"Two hours to get to the training grounds…" she thought, getting out of bed.
