Chapter 9

It’s been two weeks since that day in the hospital. Sasuke has glared at me a lot, Naruto and I have made a joke of it, whenever he does, and we see him do it. We both yell, ‘Dark Duck!’ It’s really funny when we do it in the middle of the street, so we try to make him glare at us on purpose. Ha!

The missions have been really easy, babysitting, gardening, and other boring things. Nothing that can show off my art. Well, expect for one. But I did it for fun. It wasn’t needed, and Kakashi sensei told me off for it later, which made me sad. I didn’t talk for the rest of that day.

Now, we had a mission, another boring one. I had my scope on, and I was looking for the cat we had to catch through It, crouching on a tree.

I yawned as Sasuke’s voice sounded threw the mic things. “This is Sasuke, at point b,” I chuckled.

“This is Sakura, at point c!” Sakura said threw it too, right after Sasuke, I rolled my eyes, fan girl.

It was a few moments before Naruto spoke. “This is Naruto, arrived at point d, believe it!”

“You’re slow Naruto,” Kakashi told him, and then I yawned again. “Emiko, where are you?” Kakashi said, and I yawned again, and I looked around.

“I’m in a tree, why sensei?” I asked, and I heard him sighed.

“Are you at point d?” He asked me, and I looked around again, and I shrugged.

“Think so,” everyone sighed, well, Naruto laughed. “Can I fly to find the thing?” I asked, and Kakashi sighed at me.

“No,” I pouted, if he could see this pout, he would be putty, PUTTY! “Okay, team seven.”

My scope zoomed in on the cat, as it jumped. “The target has moved guys,” I said, over Kakashi.

We all moved into action. Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto all hid behind the trees, as the cat hid in a bush. I jumped into a tree, and I locked onto it, it looked up at me. i put my hand into my clay, and I made a clay mouse.

I grabbed it by the tail, and I waved it around. The cat’s eyes gleamed looking at the mouse. “What’s the distance to the target?”

“Five metres, I’m ready to go,” Naruto told our sensei, and the cat started to walk a little toward the tree I was in, as I dangled the mouse. My team didn’t notice.

“I am too,” Sasuke told Kakashi, and I chuckled, no one noticing still.

“me too,” Sakura added, and I snickered. They are so silly.

“Art is fleeting… and creative!” I exclaimed, and everyone sighed, except for Naruto, who snickered at me.

“Emiko, concentrate!” Kakasho ordered me, and I laughed once.

“I trust me, I am,” I stated, making sure that it sounded like an inside joke.

“Okay, GO!”

Everyone jumped towards cat, as the cat jumped up the tree, and into my lap. I dangled the clay mouse in front of the cat’s face.

“Sensei, the cat moved again!” Sakura screeched, and I laughed, everyone jumped, and I laughed louder, jumping out of the tree.

“Got it!” I cheered. The cat swiping at the mouse, and I pulled it away, glaring at the cat. “No, cat. No hurting my art,” It hissed at me, and I hissed back.

Suddenly, the cat was out of my arms, and it was in Naruto’s arms. The cat froze. Then looked at Naruto evilly, and then attacked him.

I pointed at Naruto, and I laughed. “That’s what you get for taking the cat from me!” I laughed, and Sasuke hit me over my head. I turned on my heel, and I glared at him.

“Dumb Blonde,” He said sarcastically. My jaw dropped. He is playing at Naruto and I’s game?! I glared again, and he smirked. “Dumb blonde.”

I screamed and then I ran to Naruto, picking up the cat from his arms and handing it to Sakura, and I started to shake Naruto. Naruto started to look disoriented.

“Naruto! Sasuke is acting like us!!” I yelled in his face, and then I dropped him on the ground. Everyone was wincing as I still had my mic on. I then hid behind my best friend, who was still on the ground. “Hide me Naruto…” I muttered.

Naruto looked back at me, blinking a few times. “What?” my head dropped.

I sighed, and I looked at him in the eyes. “Alright, I’ll explain. I glared at Sasuke for hitting me over the head, and then he said, ‘Dumb Blonde’ I thought it might have been an accident, so I glared again, and he did it again. Then I screamed, and I ran to you, and… we’ve come full circle.” I stated, and he laughed.

“Ha! Sasuke is copying us!” I thought for a second of what he said, and then I started to laugh too.

“Losers,” Sasuke muttered. Then I sat up, after taking a deep breath. Calming down. I looked at Sasuke, and he turned his back to us. Sakura was cooing over the cat, which had calm down.

Kakashi sighed over the com radios, “Does it have a ribbon in its right ear? Is it our target, Tora?” I jumped up, and I tip toed over to Sasuke.

“It’s the target for sure,” Sasuke said, and then I jumped on his back. “Ahh!” he looked over his shoulder at me, as I wrapped my legs around his waist, and I pulled on his hair. “Get off!” He growled, and I looked at his hair carefully.

“Okay, ‘operation Capture Tora the lost Pet’ complete,” Kakashi told us, and then I smirked when I realised he had no idea on what is happen.

“How in the world is your hair like this?!” I snapped in anger, and he glared at me. “DARK DUCK!” I shouted right in his ear. He flinched, and then I felt something dark behind me. I looked carefully and I saw Sakura glaring at me. I eeped and let go of Sasuke, and then I turned him around and I hid behind him. “Sakura, look at the dark duck, look at the dark duck.” I said, and I heard her crack her knuckles.

I gulped. There is something I have learnt from being around fan girls, is that you don’t! And do not! Touch their Sasuke. They will KILL YOU!!

Then, Naruto, being the awesome friend he is, distracted her by yelling. “Isn’t there a more exciting mission we can work on?!” I felt Sakura’ dark energy leave and I sighed.

I came out from behind Sasuke, and I let out my breath. “Close.”

BAM! I flew back and into a tree. I looked up, and I saw Sakura, glaring at me. “Don’t touch Sasuke!” She screamed at me, I eeped and  ran away, grabbing Naruto’s hand, and headed towards the meeting place to give the cat back.

When we got to the room, when ran in, and then I put my hands on my knees and puffed dramatically. Iruka, The Hokage, and the client were looking at me weird, Naruto was laughing at me.

I pointed to the door, and huffed. “Crazy fan girl, nuff said,” Naruto patted my head.

“Sakura punched you into a tree! Ouch,” he stated, and I glared at him. He laughed.

The door opened and in came Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi. I eeped, and hid behind Naruto.

“Emiko, Naruto, why did you run off?” Kakashi asked, sounding annoyed, I peeked out from behind Kakashi, and I pointed at the pink headed girl.

“Sakura, punched me in the head, and and and. She was going to kill me!!” I shouted, and she glared at me, and I hid behind Naruto again, Naruto was laughing at me. “Not funny, Naruto!” I cried, and I held onto his jacket. “She’s scary…”

I could feel the anger coming off of Sakura again. But then she calmed down. I looked out, and I saw that she was giving the client her cat back. Evil thing. Wanted to play with my art. Speaking of my art, where did I put that clay mouse?

Where the clay mouse is!!

A little clay mouse was running around the area, looking for his master, Emiko, when he climbed to the wrong place, and woke up an owl. The owl, thoroughly pissed off that his sleep was disrupted, and then saw the little clay mouse, and his eyes gleamed.

The owl, being an owl. Swooped down and had the mouse in it beck with one swoop. The owl, tasting this mouse was strange. Bit on it, the owl must have bit it wrong, because the next thing it knew. BOOM! The owl was dead.

(AN, I don’t know, don’t ask. I wrote that on the bus. Hahaha, blame the chaos that happens on the bus. Hahaha)

Back to EMIKO!!

Why did I feel my chakra leave a little? Meh.

I put my attention back to the owner of the cart, and her cat. My eye started to twitch right away. The woman was killing the cat… with hugs!! I bit my lip to stop my laughs. I should have let the cat eat the mouse, that way; the cat would have been put out of its misery. And not crying like he was being tortured.

Naruto started to scratch the back of his head. “That cat’s getting what he deserves.” Naruto pointed out, and I bit harder on my lip.

“No wonder he ran away,” Sakura muttered, and then I bit harder. My laughs were bubbling up.

I felt someone drip onto my chin. Sasuke looked at me weirdly. Naruto and Sakura was too busy looking at the cat.

He poked my chin, and pulled it away. Showing that I was bitting my lip enough to make it bleed. I stopped bitting it, and wiped the blood away. I got out a bit of clay, and I grabbed Sasuke’s head, and I whipped the blood on it, before putting it into a hand mouth. I made it into a few little clay spiders, and I put it in my shuriken holster. Sasuke looked confused.

I sighed. “I got rid of my blood on your finger. Don’t question it,” I whispered, and he glared at me. I was about to yell Dark Duck, but Kakashi covered my mouth.

The Hokage called us forward, and Kakashi let go of my mouth, and I leaned towards Sasuke as we walked forward and whispered. “Dark duck,” he didn’t even retaliate! Now that’s no fun. Pout.

The Hokage was reading from a bit of Paper as our client payed for the mission. “Now then, Kakashi’s team seven’s next mission is, Babysitting lord Yojyu’s son. Grocery shopping at the neighbouring town, helping dig up potatoes at-“ but he was cut off by Naruto.

“No!” He exclaimed, his arm in X formation. “No thanks to all of those! I want to do a more exciting mission!” I nodded my head, crossing my arms across my chest. Frowning.

“These missions aren’t complementing my art at all, un,” I added onto Naruto’s words.

“Choose something else!” Naruto and I said at the same time, and then Iruka slammed his hands on the table. Glaring at us with anger filled eyes.

“Idiots!” he shouted at us and I glared back. “You’re still rookie ninja!” the Hokage pulled on his hat, in thought. “Everyone needs to start with the easy missions to gain experience!”

Naruto leaned forward. “But, but! We’ve only been doing dumb missions lately!” He shouted right back.

I nodded my head. “Yeah! How are we to ‘gain experience’, if we’re doing missions that people at the academy could do, yah?” I shouted, and then Kakashi punched both Naruto and I into the ground.

“Cut it out,” Kakashi told us off. I sat up slowly, rubbing my head.

 “Ouchy…” I pouted, and I sighed. “That hurt sensei.”

“Naruto, Emiko!” The Hokage called out, and Naruto was rubbing his head, and moaning in pain a bit. I looked at the old man. “It looks like I need to explain to you what missions are.” Naruto looked at the Hokage, with his. ‘I’m getting another lecture,’ face.

Instead of listen to the old man lecture us again on something. I listened to Naruto as he talked about ramen and I added my own words of art. It seems that Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura had the same thoughts, and they ignored the Hokage too, listening to us.

“I had tonkatsu ramen yesterday, so I’m going to eat a miso ramen today,” Naruto told us, and I looked at my clay pouch.

“I think I’ll be making a stronger explosive. Mine are still basic. More fire power, the better, eh Naruto?” Naruto laughed at me, and I hugged him around the shoulder, as we were still on the ground.

“Listen!” We both jumped at the Hokage’s shout. We both looked at him. Everyone looked at the old man too.

Kakashi scratched the back of his neck. “I’m sorry,” he told the hokage.

“You always lecture Emiko and I like that, old man. But we’re not the kids who used to pull pranks anymore!” then Naruto turned his back to the old man and crossed his arms, pouting. Like a kid. I chuckled.

“Naruto’s right. We’re not brats.” The irony of thoses words.

I saw Iruka’s frown turn into a smile, and the Hokage smiled fondly at us. Taking a puff of his pipe and chuckled.

“Okay, I understand.” Naruto and I sat up straight in shock, as did Sasuke and Sakura. “If you insist, I will allow you to take on a C ranked mission. It’s to escort a certain person.” I snickered. I used those words to tip off Sasuke I knew his brother! Ha!

Naruto looked back at the Hokage. “Really?” He asked, then he turned around fully. “Who? Who? The feudal lord? Or a princess?” I knew those missions were out of our reach, but it’s good to have high dreams. But exportations (Sp??)… they can come crashing down.

The Hokage chuckled at Naruto’s enthusiasm. “Don’t get so hasty. I’ll introduce him now.” the Hokage took a breath, before calling out. “Can you please come in now?” we all looked back at the door, Naruto and I standing up.

The door opened slowly, to revel… a drunken old man?! Drinking?! My face dropped. Yep, they sure do come crashing down.

He looked at us in disgust. Before drinking once. “What? They’re all kids!” He exclaimed, and my eye twitched.

The man looked like he would pass out druck any second. “Hey, is the smallest one there with the idiotic face really a ninja?” he asked of us.

Naruto started to laugh, “Who’s the smallest one with the idiotic face?” He asked, looking at us all.

We all lined up, and then we looked. Sasuke was the tallest, the Sakura, then me, then little Naruto. I snickered.

“You are small Naruto, but I like you’re as cute as a fox,” he frowned at me. Then he glared at the old man, but not the Hokage.

I felt weird looks on my back. I ignored them. They knew I knew. Did they really think Naruto wouldn’t tell his best friend? Idiots! He told me after the bell test when I got out of the hospital.

Naruto tried running at the old man. “I’m going to kill you!” but Kakashi held Naruto back from the back of his jumper.

“Don’t kill the man you’re supposed to escort, idiot!” Kakashi scolded Naruto, and I chuckled at Naruto.

Then the old man’s eyes dropped onto me, and then smiled at me. “And her, a ninja? She seems too cute to hurt anyone!” I laughed.

“Yeah right! I have the most fire power at of everyone in this room right here,” I patted my pouch, and he seemed confused, and I laughed again.

He took another swig of his drink, and looked at all of us, one by one. “I am the bridge building expert, Tazuna. Once I have returned to my country, I will have all of you protect my life with yours while I complete the bridge.”

“Right, you want us to do that, but you still insult us. Stupid.” I muttered, and Kakashi hit me over the head. I glare up at him.

“Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto, Emiko. Go and get your things ready for this mission. Emiko, don’t overdo it with your clay.” I snickered.

“Alright, but I’m bring the stuff I can make it with,” I stated. Then we walked out of the mission’s room.

Tazuna came with us; I made sure he was looking at me, as I stretched. My hand mouths turning up. He froze. I laughed. Too much fun.

************

Preview of ‘The Nightshimmer!! A Batman Begin’s Fan fic!’

I crouched on the top of a building, no too sure which one, but I was. Looking down at some of Falcone’s men, with threw my specially bought binoculars.

They were just standing in an ally way. Waiting for some poor person to walk out of the back door of the building I was crouched on.

I saw two women walk out of the back. They were laughing full-heartedly. But they froze when they saw the three big scary men.

One of the men… let’s call him Dumby. Raised his arm that had a gun in it and pointed it at one. “Give us your money,” He ordered them. My eye twitched. Seriously dude? Is that all you bad guys think of, money?

The one woman started to get her money out to hand it to them, but one was brave and stepped forward, crossing her arms. “One Gun, for two of us?” Alright, not brave, an idiot. I rolled my eyes.

The two other men pulled out guns and pointed them at her. She froze again. Another man, let’s call him Ugly snickered. “You’re not very smart are you?” He asked her.

The last man, named… Doofus. Laughed at Ugly’s words.

The brave woman started to get her money out too, gulping. When I pulled out some shuriken. I aimed them, and threw, hitting the guns out of their hands. I quickly grabbed some of my home made smoke pelts, and threw them down, the place exploded with smoke. Not like the stuff you can bye, but it’s enough to get them unable to see. But not me, I made my mask to be able to see threw them.

I jumped, grabbing a pipe and I slid down. I pushed myself off the pipe before I hit the ground, and I aimed a kick at a man, and knocked him out, before I went after the two others. Lucky for me, they were close together, so I jumped on both their backs, and gripped their heads and I slammed them together. They were knocked out.

I pulled out some of my rope that had metal wire in the middle and tied them together. When I finished, I looked at the two women who had been screaming during the whole thing. I smiled at them.

“Hiya! The names Nightshimmer! You should really have pepper spray with you at all times you know!” I cheered. This is my alter ego. Overly happy. Different from how I am when I’m Scarlet… sometimes.

The braver woman stepped forward on shaky legs. “Who are you?” she muttered, and I giggled.

“I just said who I am silly. Nightshimmer. Secret Falcone stopper! But shhhh, I’m not known. I think you guys are the…” I bit my lip, and then I went ah ha! “the fifth and sixth people to know that I actually exist! But don’t tell anyone! I don’t need Mr Falcone phony to know I exist and slowly taking him down! Bye now! And be careful!” I pointed at them, before I turned around and I ran out of the ally way, and then I did a hand spring, pushing myself into the air and I caught a fire escape ladder and I climbed up.

When I was on the building, I pulled down my sleeve to see the time on my watch. 2:24 am. I winced. I have to get home. I looked around, my eyes accustom to the night, and also the light from the city was helping to.

I saw a broken light post between my building and the next. Taking a few step back, I ran towards it, and I jumped, I gripped the pole, and I spun around it a few times before lunching myself into the air and landing on another building. Heading towards home.

3:30pm that day…

I yawned as I walked into my gymnastics centre from school. Last day of school now it’s the holidays! I rubbed my eyes, and stretched. I looked around and I saw a bunch of people doing the beam, the floor, and others too. I quickly went to the changing rooms, and I got into my Leotard for practice.

Before I headed back into the training room, and headed to coach, where I was told what I was to do for the day. Another lovely day for Scarlet Martha Wayne.
