Hey remember that time I said I'd be doing the end of Chunin Exams next chapter?
Umeko: Yeah...
And I said it was the big Umeko VS Mari showdown?
Umeko: Yeah...
And the
Umeko: JUST GET ON WITH IT!
I lied.
Umeko: What?
Yeah, sorry about that! But I doubt you'll be too disappointed! If you are, I'm super special sorry!
Umeko: I'M GONNA MURDER YOU AUTHOR WOMAN!
"So we're gonna be going to these ruins to meet a spy about some information on Iwagakure? Why do we need information on them?" I asked looking up at Anko.
"Well you weren't doing anything better, and we need information on them because they still hate us for kickin' their ass in the Third Shinobi War." Anko said.
"I could be training…" I grumbled, thinking about Chunin Exams in about three weeks.
"Oh get over it. I'll teach you a new jutsu when we get back, how about that? And seriously, your going with a Jonin on a B-Rank mission, if anything, this will help with your damn promotion." Anko said.
"You just didn't wanna come alone." I said.
"And?"
"You couldn't have asked Inoichi?"
"Training Makoto."
"Ibiki?"
"Rather die than go on a mission with him."
"Daiki?"
"Training like hell with Neji."
"Kurenai?"
"Training your sister."
"Damn don't you have any friends? AND DON'T SAY THE DANGO GUY!" I said.
"Oh come on, Umeko. It's a B-Rank, your always whining about boring C-Ranks and D-Ranks. I take you on a B-Rank and give you special attention and your yelling about it." Anko said.
"Hmph. Just where the hell are we going anyway?" I asked.
"Oh, we're going to the Daichi Ruins. It's about a days walk north of Konoha." Anko said.
"-The hell is Daichi Ruins?" I asked.
Anko had a dark, grim look on her face as if she thinking of sorrowful memories.
"It's where a powerful clan once ruled. This clan was closely allied with Konoha during every war ever since the beginning of Konoha. They we're a great clan that had the ability to control vines . They we're always peaceful but then, they we're corrupted by a head named Kareha. He told the people of the Daichi clan of the great evil that Konoha did and he planned on destroying Konoha with the help of his clan. But a woman who worked for the Daichi clan, was a former Leaf kunoichi, and she sent a messenger to Konoha telling them of the danger. She begged in the letter for them to not destroy the clan, just to talk and settle it peacefully. But that didn't happen. The elders overruled the Hokage's decision to meet with Kareha. They sent a bunch of young, powerful shinobi to kill the entire Daichi clan. Each woman, child, everyone was dead. So now, their compound sits in ruins." Anko said.
"Wow. Vines? Sounds bitchin'." I said. Anko stayed silent.
She stayed silent as we kept walking, and walking.
It got late.
"Hey, uh, Anko? Shouldn't we be, you know, sleeping. We ain't got meet the bitch til tomorrow." I said.
Anko sighed.
"Yeah, that's a good idea. Let's set up camp." She said.
'Damn, why the hell is she all gloomy and shit? It wasn't nothing I did, that's for sure.' I thought.
We set up camp in a small clearing, and then we went to sleep.
I dreamed of vines surrounding me.
"Where am I?!" I yelled. The words just kind of floated away from me. The vines turned black and began growing big long thorns. They got larger, and sharper. And they came closer and closer. Then I was stabbed. I woke up as soon as it happen with a gasp.
Anko was sleeping calmly a few feet away from me.
"Hot damn… What the hell kinda dream was that? Damn Daichi shit giving me nightmares…" I grumbled, adjusting my position and going back to sleep.
"Get up brat!" Anko's obnoxious voice yelled during my peaceful sleep.
I slowly opened my eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, I 'm up." I mumbled, rubbing my tired eyes.
We quickly put our camp back into the storage scroll and continued on our way. Anko was still silent as she looked around with sad eyes.
'Hm. I wonder if she part of the team that killed off the Daichi clan?' I thought.
'It's the only reason she'd be all broody and sad and shit.'
"We're here." Anko said.
I looked at some large wooden gates with this weird shape on them. It was like a 'T' with two swirls coming out from each side. Weird as shit, I must say.
"Hmph. Okay, then let's bust the suckers open and go get that scroll!" I exclaimed.
"No, we'll walk over the gate and jump down." Anko said calmly.
"Aww…. But that's no fuuun…" I whined.
"Your not a child that always needs to have fun. You're a Konoha ninja that may be a Genin, but your well on your way to Chunin. Chunin do NOT blow up everything. Their not super loud with their enterances. And if they are, their dead. So you need to act mature, and stop trying to have a shit load of fun all the time. Ya got it?" Anko growled at me.
"Hmph."
"Do. You. Get. It?" Anko asked, glaring at me.
"Yes, Anko." I said with a glare of my own.
'Why the hell is she lecturing me? I didn't do nothing wrong! Just because she's all depressed doesn't mean she can take it out on ME! GOD! Hell, I'll remember this when I'm judging her after I take over the world as it's God.' I thought as continued to glare at her after being scolded.
We walked up and over the gate. I saw this small, almost city half of it was burned. There was trash and debris everywhere.
"Holy shit." I said.
"C'mon." Anko said jumping down. We both walked up the main road where a large compound was. Right in front of it, was someone in a hood on their head stood still as a statue.
She had glowing green eyes under the dark hood.
"Are you the one known as Tsuru?" Anko asked.
The person gave a smile.
"Yes. That's me." She said.
"The light of the fire will shine forever." Anko said.
'That must be the password or whatever saying that she's the one supposed to get the scroll. Hmph. Doesn't surprise me. Seriously Konoha, that is cliché!' I thought.
The woman took out a small scroll and threw it to Anko.
"Thanks Tsuru." Anko said.
"Yes, it was my pleasure. You both, be careful on your travels home." Tsuru said.
"We will. Come on, Umeko." Anko said.
"Wow, we walked all the way here to grab a scroll. Man, this is totally acinine." I said.
"It's important, even if it seems stupid to you, this scroll could mean the difference of war and peace." Anko said.
"Well, are we like gonna open it or something? Make sure it's fucking legit?" I asked.
Anko hit my head.
"You idiot! Didn't you learn anything from my exam?!" Anko exclaimed.
"YOU COULDA JUST SAID NO! YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO HIT ME! I'M GOD YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO- OW! AGAIN?!"
"I'LL KEEP HITTING YOU UNTIL YOU LEARN RESPECT!"
"THAT'S STUPID! YOUR STUPID! OW!"
Suddenly, as we ran I thought I heard someone following us.
I immediately stopped and scanned my surroundings.
'The one time we need Blindclops…'
"Come on, we need to keep going." Anko said.
She did gave me a quick hand signal.
"Don't worry about it. I know their there." It said.
"Yeah sorry, I think I saw a rare bird. Yeah, I like birds now." I said.
We kept running. I heard another rustle from behind me.
Suddenly, my ankle was grabbed and I fell straight onto my face. I quickly looked at my ankle and saw a vine was wrapped around it.
"The hell?!" I exclaimed.
I got up and got in my taijutsu position.
"Isn't that the Daichi's powers or something? Didn't that Konoha team kill all of them or something?!" I exclaimed.
"Oh no, not all of them." A voice said in an above tree.
There a woman stood with a sword in her hand. She was tan with bright green eyes and long spiky brown hair. She had a marking on her eye identical to the symbol on the Daichi's gate.
"Y-You!" Anko exclaimed.
"Hello there. Nice to see you again, Anko." She said.
"Hey who the hell are you, bitch!? If you tripped me I swear to me, I'll beat your ass into oblivion!" I growled.
"Hmph. This your student, Anko?" she asked.
Anko stayed silent, and looked almost dazed at the woman.
"You did kill my sensei, I wonder if it will feel the same when I kill your student. But you have no idea how I feel, if I'm correct. Since you killed my clan too. So, this can be a bit of payback, I guess." She said.
"HEY DON'T YOU FUCKIN' IGNORE ME! WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" I yelled.
"Anko can tell you." She said. Anko stayed silent, she was then shaking.
"Well, if she can't I might as well say. I am Moriko Daichi. Last of the Daichi clan." She said.
"Yeah, okay. Now aren't you gonna do a backstory or something? I'm kinda in the dark here! God, do I have to ask for everything? And make it quick! If you take to long, I swear to me I'll kick you in the vagina!" I said.
A smile formed on Moriko's face. She laughed, she laughed a loud obnoxious laugh.
"Your funny. If you we're anyone else, I'd take you as my student-"
"Blah blah FUCKING GET ON WITH IT!"
Moriko's POV
That Day…
(Hey I recommend to fully enjoy this part, put on some sad Naruto OST)
(Not necessary but recommended)
Fire, fire everywhere.
The blood of my people splattered all over the very earth we got our power from.
We we're powerless to stop them.
My mother and father we're already dead. Now all I had was my little brother, Mikio, and my protector Akahana-sensei. We're were huddled in a corner in my room. Mikio was crying, not loudly, but he had silent tears running down his stern young face.
Akahana-sensei was doing her best to stay calm.
Suddenly the door to my bedroom was knocked down. A young woman walked in. Akahana-sensei automatically got up with her sword in hand.
"Akahana…"
"Anko…"
"It appears only one of us is gonna get out of this alive. How unfabulous…" Akahana-sensei said.
"I-I'm sorry." Anko said.
Akahana-sensei gave a battle cry before running forward with her sword in her hand. Anko skillfully dodged and blocked her attacks with her kunai. After a few minutes of their combat, Anko was able to slice Akahana-sensei across her belly. Akahana-sensei gave a loud scream of pain.
"AKAHANA-SENSEI!" Mikio and I yelled.
Akahana grunted as she stood up again in her battle position.
"I'm so sorry, Akahana." Anko said before slicing her throat.
My eyes widened in fear. I could feel sadness and the creeping fear in my stomach, up to my throat. Almost threatening to constrict and kill me.
"Y-YOU WILL DIE FOR THAT YOU BITCH!" Mikio screamed.
"NO MIKIO!" I yelled, trying to stop him. I couldn't move my legs, or any muscle in my body.
Too scared.
Too sad to do anything.
And then here my younger brother was, not even able to use his kekkei genkai, but had the courage to get up and try to avenge our protector, our sensei, Akahana Uzumaki.
Mikio had two short katana in his hands. He skillfully slashed at Anko who easily blocked and dodged.
Then, she blasted him with a strong fire jutsu. I couldn't do a thing. I wasn't brave.
I was coward.
My being cowardly killed my brother.
My being cowardly killed my sensei.
I was so scared, I couldn't even focus my chakra to use vines or anything.
Nothing.
I couldn't do a thing as she walked closer and closer.
'I deserve this end. For not saving them.' I thought with my head down.
Anko lifted her kunai.
"Just do it." I said.
Then, she dropped her kunai.
I looked up at her, and her face was pure sadness, agony, torture.
"I-I can't do it. Please, just get out of here. I can't kill you. I can't. I've killed too many innocent people here. Please, either leave here, or kill me before I have to do that to you. I-I can't!" she said with tears pouring down her face.
Anko's POV
(Keep the sad music on)
"You should have killed me all those years ago, Anko. I watched everyone I love die in front of me. MY LIFE HAS BEEN HELL! WHY!? WHY DID YOU KEEP ME ALIVE!? YOU SHOULD HAVE KILLED ME!"
"I COULDN'T BEAR TO KILL ANYONE ANYMORE! DO YOU KNOW HOW IF FEELS TO KILL CHILDREN. LITTLE KIDS JUST LEARNING ABOUT THEIR POWERS?! JUST LEARNING WHAT THE WORLD IS! BABIES WERE KILLED BY ME! EVERYONE! DEAD! I COULDN'T DO IT ANYMORE!" I yelled back.
"YOU JUST HAD TO LEAVE ME ALIVE! WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST LEAVE MY BROTHER?! HE WAS TEN! TEN YEARS OLD! AND WHY AKAHANA-SENSEI! SHE WASN'T EVEN A DAICHI! SHE JUST WORKED FOR US! YOU NINJA! YOU DAMN NINJA! YOU KILL PEOPLE WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THEIR FAMILIES! YOU KILL FOR A LIVING! YOU KILL SOMEONE AND YOU GET PAID! YOU ALL DISGUST ME! YOU ALL DESERVE WHAT YOU GET IN THE END! DEATH! DESPAIR! LONLINESS! YOU DESERVE IT ALL! YOU VULTURES!" Moriko yelled.
I couldn't say anything back.
I couldn't.
She was telling the truth.
Being a ninja isn't about fun and games.
It isn't about learning big jutsu.
It's about killing for the sake of your village.
"We're just all wicked, I suppose. There ain't no rest for the wicked, they say. Until we close our eyes for good. And you ninja are the worst of the wicked. Kill innocents with your big jutsu and shit just to put food on the table. It's truly sick. But, Anko, I'll let you live to think about all you've done. I'll just kill your precious little student since I already killed your little teammates that assisted in my clan's demise." Moriko said.
"COME AT ME BITCH! I'LL SEND YO ASS STRAIGHT TO HELL! BEING GOD HAS IT'S ADVANTAGES!" Umeko yelled.
"NO! Don't fight Umeko. Fight me. It's me who's did the wrong. I'm not dragging one of my students into something they we're involved with!" Anko said.
Moriko jumped down, and was right in front of Umeko.
"Interfere, and I'll kill her very painfully." Moriko said with a glare.
Umeko's POV
(Some Good Fighting Naruto OST)
(I recommend Sneaking Nightmare on repeat)
"Bitch, come at me! What are you gonna do? Get leaves in my pants? Trip me with vines? Come on, let's fight like real women! Hand to hand bitch! Or are you afraid?" I said with my fists up.
Moriko smirked cruelly.
"Oh, you want to challenge someone at Jonin level to a taijutsu battle? Fine, I won't use my sword or my kekkei genkai. I'll just kill your ass the old fashioned way." She said.
I rushed forward with chakra enhanced speed and began barraging her with rough punches.
She blocked each one with her arm.
'Time to try it out.'
I gave a much slower punch. She caught it with her hand.
I gave a smirk.
"Flamethrower!" I said.
Fire chakra sprayed out of my hand, burning her hand.
She stumbled back and looked at me in pure shock.
I looked at my slightly singed glove.
"Damn, that needs a new name and some practice." I grumbled.
"What the hell was that?" she exclaimed.
"Having no social life and creative mind will get you somewhere in life. I was planning on using that move for roasting Mari, but I guess you'll do too!" I said.
I moved forward now with the Flamethrower in action. Pure fire chakra was spraying out of my hands, and with each punch, they'd spread out trying to burn the woman.
I couldn't get one burn on her.
"Damn! Would you stop dodging!" I exclaimed.
"Excuse me, girl. Your cheating. You said no ninjutsu." She said.
"It's called nintaijutsu bitch!" I said.
"Oh that's cute." She said.
"Vine Style: Vine Constrictor Jutsu!" she said.
She raised one hand towards me, and suddenly, vines from the surrounding trees began surround me.
"What!? What the hell!" I exclaimed.
I tried punching them, but all that happened was that they just kept getting tighter and tighter.
"FLAMETHROWER!" I yelled. Fire chakra flew out of my hands. My hands we're straight down and I felt burning on my leg. The vines we're now hot, now burning my flesh.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" I screamed in pure agony.
The vines we're getting more and more tighter. Squeezing the very life out of me.
"UMEKO!" Anko yelled.
"Well Umeko, have fun with the Death God." Moriko said with her sword in hand.
She took the sword and it went right through the vines right into my abdomen.
This stab wound didn't feel normal. This blade.
It.
It wasn't normal!
It was poisoned.
But this poison, it was different. It was the worst pain I had ever felt. I had felt a lot of poisons, but this one. It was, I couldn't tell.
Anko's POV
(Find some sad Naruto OST again)
"So tell me? How does it feel? The feeling of watching someone you care about die painfully while you can't do a thing out of fear? You thought I'd actually give her a peaceful death?! After what you did!? Are you insane or just plain stupid!?" Moriko said as she laughed.
Umeko…
"IF I CAN'T EVEN HURT A TREE, HOW DO I EXPECT TO GET STRONGER!" Umeko yelled.
"Well, brat. You can't expect a tree to explode from that weak of a punch. And where did you learn how to punch, anyway? That really sucked. Punch my hand, brat. Let's see if we can get you stronger." I said with a grin, knowing that this kid would make a good apprentice.
My student…
"Today you will be doing the test to become Genin." I said to a bored looking Umeko.
"Well, that's a thing..." she muttered.
"Umeko... Aren't you nervous, or something?" I asked.
"Nah... Pretty confident I can do a FREAKIN' CLONE JUTSU!" Umeko said confidently. But I knew better then to just blindly believe the confident front she put on.
"Umeko, you shouldn't let the nervousness I know you have build up. That's how you choke and mess up." I said.
"Psssssssssssssh... I am NOT nervous! I'm highly confident that I, Umeko Haruno, can do JUST FINE!" Umeko said.
"Whatever, but if when you mess up and have to go through the ungodly humiliation of screwing up, don't come crying to me!" I growled looking at her to see if she'd take the bait.
"JUST TO SPITE YOU, I'M GONNA FUCKIN' DO THE BEST! AMAZING! I'LL DO SO GOOD, THE HOKAGE WILL BOW TO ME, ANKO!" she yelled, obviously taking the bait.
"It's Anko-sensei..." I said just to get her pissed.
"ANKO!" she yelled stomping away.
But what she didn't know was that I smiled at her retreating figure because I knew she'd go in there and pass with flying colors, even if it was just to spite me.
"Y-You killed my student."
"HAHAHA! Oh yes, do, say another joke." Moriko said with a laugh.
"She-she was like a little sister to me."
"Yep, that's quite funny!" Moriko said.
I sped up to her, and her eyes that were lit up with a dark amusement now we're widened. I grabbed her neck and lifted her up off the ground.
"I don't care about who you are. I don't care about my guilt. I don't give a damn. I WON'T GO EASY ON YOU ANYMORE! I'm going to send you straight to your judgement. Maybe Umeko will have mercy on you. But knowing her, your going to burn in the lowest level of hell." I said with an emotionless glare with tears running down my face.
She put her hand up to my wrist, where I was holding her up.
"Th-Th-That's cute." Moriko said.
Vines swarmed out of her hands at an astonishing speed.
I jumped back away from her vines.
"Vine Style: Snake Thorns!" she yelled.
Her vines grew sharp thorns and slithered towards me.
I dodged each one snake. They moved just like real snakes, it made me think back to my old training with that damn Orochimaru. But the snakes we're easy to read.
"You know, Anko, my vines didn't kill your little student. It was the sword that's inside her body. It has the blood of a Dansu clan member. It's quite the piece of merchandise, huh? This sword was forged with metal mixed with the blood of a Dansu. Their blood is the most powerful poison alive. But also the most powerful antidote. And it's possible that Umemo can be saved. But, I'm the only one with an antidote. And I doubt you'll be able to get it from my dead corpse in time." She said.
"Y-You… GIVE THE ANTIDOTE TO ME!" I yelled rushing forward.
Then, suddenly, I saw something behind Moriko that I didn't expect.
Umeko was there, paler than usual, with a less alive look in her eyes. The sword was in her hand, and now going right through Moriko stomach.
Moriko fell backwards onto the ground and looked straight up into the sky.
"No…" Moriko said. She went into her pocket and got out a vial, right when she was about to take it, Umeko snatched it from her hand.
"Thanks bitch!" Umeko exclaimed before taking it.
A smile formed on Moriko's face.
"UMEKO NO!" I yelled.
Moriko took out another vial and instantly took it.
"HA! Umeko now has it coursing through her system. She took it from me like a fool. That's what you get. Choke on that!" she said with a forced laugh.
"Oh shut it, Mori. And tell whatever death god you we're talking about I said, 'NOT TODAY!'" Umeko said standing up with a smirk.
"What?! Impossible! I couldn't have-" Moriko instantly stopped in the middle of her sentence.
"Hey bitch. Finish your sentence at least before you die. You don't want your last word to be something stupid like 'have'. Hell do what you want, ya vine freak." Umeko said.
"She can't speak anymore. The paralysis in the poison began to take effect. She can't say anything else. She'll be dead soon." I said.
"Well good night." Umeko growled.
I walked up to the still emotionless shell of a body.
"I'm sorry it had to end like this, Moriko. I'm so, so sorry." I said looking down at her. I couldn't help but see the fifteen year old girl who lost her whole family when I looked at her now dull green eyes.
A tear went down Moriko's cheek. There was no telling what she was thinking, but I think it was better off not known.
Moriko's POV
So this it.
Death.
Unmoving.
Unseeing.
After Anko apologized to me, I couldn't see anything or hear anything. Until I saw memories of me and Akahana-sensei.
"Hi, you unfabulous children! I'm Akahana, and I'll be guarding you guys while the clan head is gone to the Kazekage's wedding." Akahana said.
"Hey don't call us unfabulous or whatever, commoner. We're royalty. And we also don't need your stupid guarding." I said.
"Yeah! So shoo, commoner!" Mikio added.
"Hey you two brats need to learn to show respect to ninja! If you insult the person that's guarding you, that's signing your own death certificate, ya know!?" she exclaimed punching the top of the kid's heads.
"Hey watch it you red headed witch!" I yelled at her.
For the next few days, we all did nothing but argue. This Akahana woman was infuriating. She just knew how to piss me off and she kept doing it, and doing it. As if it was fun!
"HEY! AKAHANA PLAY WITH US! MORIKO KEEPS CHEATING!" Mikio yelled at a meditating Akahana.
"How can you cheat at tag?" I asked.
"You use your powers! So myeh!" Mikio said, sticking his tongue out at me.
"You children need to learn to relax and be fabulous. Seriously, your unfabulousness is just horrifying." Akahana said.
"Your bitchiness is horrifying…" I said.
"What did you say?" Akahana said glaring at me.
"I said your bitchiness is horrifying!" I said loudly, as I glared at her. Vines behind me we're shaking.
"Don't use that unfabulous language in front of me! Those kind of words really pisses me off!" Akahana growled.
"Your overuse of the word fabulous pisses me! No one uses the word fabulous if their not a blond bimbo!" I retorted.
"How dare you?"
"How dare YOU!?"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I turned around to see my brother gone.
"Mikio!? MIKIO?" I screamed.
Akahana, then, sprang into action. She ran forward and jumped into the woods with her sword in her hand.
"Lock yourself inside and stay here!" she yelled.
"As if! Unlike Mikio, I can defend myself! He can't use the Daichi kekkei genkai! I can!" I yelled.
She sighed.
"Stay close to me, and follow!" she ordered.
We both ran quickly into the forest.
A man was carrying a crying and struggling Mikio away.
"I'M A DAIKI YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!" he yelled.
The person dropped Mikio.
"Damn brat." He said.
He had his kunai in his hand, and right when he was about to slash Mikio, Akahana was there, and she pierced the man right through his back.
He was limp on her sword.
She kicked him off her sword and onto the ground.
"That's what you get for messing with my kids." She said glaring at the man.
"Your kids?" I asked as I hugged my younger brother.
"You guys, you guys are exactly how I visioned my kids. I can't have children anymore, and the one I did have died. So you guys are like my kids. You guys are really cool, ya know…" Akahana said awkwardly.
I got up and out of Mikio's hug. I walked towards the red headed Chunin. I threw my arms around her.
"Thank you so much for saving him." I said into her shoulder.
Mikio ran and hugged her too.
We all stood in the forest all hugging each other.
On the way back, we both asked her to teach us while she was with us.
She agreed. We all started learning Kenjutsu, but before we could really get into it, she was dismissed.
Her mission was over.
We all cried when she left.
But how could we be so selfish to ask her to stay with us? So we could all be the best of friends? She had a village. She probably had people she cared about. Friends. Family. Loyalty.
We couldn't.
"Moriko! We have to! I don't want her to leave us forever! She said herself we we're like the family she can't have!" Mikio said.
"We can't go after her. She's probably back in Konoha by now. Welcomed by her friends and family. We can't ask her to leave like that. It's selfish." I said.
Mikio pouted and pouted. The next day, he snuck out of the compound. Everyone was freaked out, worried and scared.
But I knew exactly where he was going. And I was planning on stopping him.
'We can't just ask her to leave her life behind for us!'
'As much as I may want to!'
'As much as I'd love to say she was a better mother than my own.'
'A kinder person than I could ever be.'
'A brave person I aspire to be like one day.'
'We can't!'
'We've been selfish all of our lives. But we can't do this to her!'
I ran and ran, and when I saw Mikio, he was at the gate of Konoha just looking up at its tallness.
"Mikio! What the hell are you doing, stupid?!" I said furiously to him.
"I was getting Akahana-sensei! Since your too scared, I had to come get her. I had to come and tell her that she can't leave us. If a woman can't do something, then it's the man's job to overcome his fear, and break a few rules to make sure the woman is happy! Even if it is his sister! And I'm not leaving without Akahana-sensei! No matter what!" Mikio said.
"I'll drag you back home if I have to! We are not ruining Akahana-sensei's life just for our own happiness! How is that fair for her?!" I snapped.
"Who are you to decide what's selfish and fair!? You're not a judge! You're not Akahana-sensei! You don't get to choose!" Mikio said.
"Don't back talk me, Mikio! We. Are. Going home! I'll drag you there kicking and screaming if need be." I said.
"Then you'll have to do it everyday and every night! Because I won't stop trying to get Akahana-sensei to come back! Our mom doesn't even notice I exist. Neither of them do. Just because I am unable to use the vines! Because the Earth didn't accept me as a Daichi! Akahana-sensei is like the Mom I'll never have! Sh-She notices us! She cares about us!" Mikio cried.
"Don't you think I want her with us too!? Don't you think I notice that our parents don't care!? All Dad cares about is producing a strong heir! He cares about that and power. Mom couldn't care less! None of them love us. Do you not think I see that?! Do you not think I feel that?! I feel their indifference towards us! I know it! I know they don't love us! But we can't ruin Akahana-sensei's life by begging her to leave this big pretty village! I can't! I won't! She would just have us there anyway! No one else would probably talk to her! And there's no telling if Dad would even let her stay with us since she's not from the Daichi clan! It's too much uncertainty! Too much risk! I don't want to get all of our hopes up like this!"
"You unfabulous brats are loud, ya know?" Akahana said.
We turned around and saw her without a forehead protector and a bag in her hand.
"I was just on my way back with some good news. I'm gonna be your permanent body guard, and Kenjutsu sensei." Akahana said.
Mikio and I looked at each other. We grinned and tackled Akahana with a hug.
Oh look.
I see them in the distance walking towards me.
Two people.
A young boy and twenty something year old woman.
A bright light was behind them as they walked closer and closer to them.
They got close enough for me to see their faces.
They gave me a smile.
"MIKIO! AKAHANA-SENSEI!"
Over 6,000 words in one night! Man, that was looong! I planned on having this be multi-chaptered and after Chunin Exams but this whole arc has been haunting my dreams. Literally. I've been up night after night thinking about this arc. I know it's probably not the best, but it's 1:21 AM right now, and Thanksgiving is tomorrow. So you guys know how it beez. So, I'll quickly reply to reviews and call it a night!
NoIdea135: Sorry for angering you by saying... Her name. But I'm glad I didn't go with my original idea for Mari. Dodged a bullet with that one. I like psychopath, wanna change the future, and touch Sasuke on the butt Mari better than her.
Umeko: Daiki? Why Daiki? OI AUTHOR WOMAN? WHAT'S GOIN' ON WITH BLIND CLOPS!?
*hides behind Makoto*
Makoto: I. Am. Also. Curious.
*runs to Rhode Island. Because no one will look there*
SatsuUzumaki: Thank you very much! I'm glad your liking it more and more! I feel like I'm getting better at writing with each chapter! It really helps when people like you say stuff like that!
Tough Chick: Thank you Tough Chick-san! And you haven't even seen her go crazy yet. Uh oh SPOILZEEZ
Umeko: Bitchin'! I'm gonna make that bitch scream in pure horror at ME UMEKO HARUNO! SHE. WILL. FEEL. PAIN!
Legendz25: Hi there, Makoto here. I am talking to you within your mind. I enjoyed many shows of the anime element including but not limited to Fruits Basket, Higurashi, Kamisama Hajimemashite, Another, Ouran High School Host Club, Shiki, Skip Beat, Elfen Lied, Shugo Chara, and Princess Jellyfish. There we're many others, but it would take too long to name them all.
Umeko: HEY PSYCHOPATH! ARE YOU DONE LISTING YOUR GIRLY AND PSYCHOPATH ANIME OR CAN I TALK?
Go ahead, Pink girl.
Umeko: I SWEAR TO ME I'LL MAKE FIRE FROM YOU!
You won't.
Umeko: Grrrrr... Ahem. Doug really isn't doing much... He's just chillin' with Momo the bunny.
You play with teddy bears... Interesting.
Umeko: I SWEAR TO MYSELF I WILL END YOUR FAMILY LINE RIGHT HERE AND NOW!
Guest: Your wish is my command, my Lord/ my Lady.
Juste Leave Me Alone: I sent you a PM explaining that it was right, and I gave you your five seconds back. Sorry!
The Awesome Me Alix: I'm actually gonna talk about that at the bottom A/N and I think you'll like it! And, don't worry, we'll have a cameo! XD
Umeko: Yeah, I'm gonna kick Rena's ass. It's kicking Author Woman's ass and embarrassing her! It's my hobby!
Makoto: That and playing with teddy bears.
GET OUT OF MY COMMENT SECTION PSYCHOPATH!
Demi-lion-ninja-scythe-mage: We shall see... But telling him the future happenings of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden could ruin my future plans. I may decide to inform him. But, I don't want to jeopardize my master plan of supreme power. We shall see, young Demi. We shall see.
NoIdea135 (again): *Psh* M-Makoto? *Psssssffff* A girl? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH XD ROFL LOL LMAO HAHAHAHAHAHA Oh, btw, have fun on vacation!
Makoto: No, I just enjoyed Shojo anime. And psychological thrillers. And One Piece. *blushes* One Piece...
bacon of doom: Heh heh heh... Damn it how'd you know? T_T Who is giving you the spoilers? Is it Tim? It's Tim isn't it? LOL who's Tim? BakaChan just needs to stop talking! Like seriously. XD
Makoto: What can I say? I am... Quite the Love Guru! *sparkle* *sparkle*
*crickets*
*crickets*
*slight sound of Umeko laughing hysterically*
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS!
Yeah you know this ish is important if I got it bold and align center! So, the pairing of this fic has been confirmed. I'm not gonna say it here. Because I think some of y'all don't want spoilers. So, on the BakaAndTensaiProductionz profile page, I have a link to my DeviantArt page where I have made a picture of the pairing including the pairing name. I think a lot of you will like this pairing, and I know I've been shipping it since the beginning. Like seriously. So, you guys can go check that out, it's under the Renegade for Life section. So, there's the big PAIRING CONFIRMATION!
And, I was also wondering if you guys liked the thing that I did with the music you should listen to while reading. I listen to music while writing and while I was writing this chapter, I literally cried when I was at sad parts because the music was matching it perfectly. So, yeah, that's another thing.
Last thing, and be completely honest with me. Am I the only one who fangirls/ has a crush on freaking Makoto Yamanaka? Be completely honest, please.
So anyway, thanks for reading and leave a review because it makes me feel sweet and fuzzy inside! Thank y'all again! ^-^
