Chapter 8
Storm's POV
Yamato, Sakura, Naruto, Sai and I make it to a clearing before Sai says something that makes Naruto mad.
I roll my eyes and stop walking. "Hey boys, why don't you not tear each others throats out because the sooner the mission is over the sooner we get home and not have to deal with each other." I say as I turn around to look at them.
"Storm is right." Sakura says to them and then realizes what she said. "No wait, forget what I said, Storm is never right." Sakura corrects herself.
I roll my eyes. "I'm regretting not changing teams when I was a Genin, but then again, I wouldn't be as strong as I am now." I say to them and I continue walking as they fight, Yamato for some reason does nothing about it for a while.
I walk into the forest and I set my bag down and I start training.
After a while I make it to a Hot Spring Hotel and I wait for the others to get here.
"Wha? Storm? How did you get here before us?" Naruto asks me.
"Because I'm focused on the mission, not fighting with a comrade." I say to him with a roll of my eyes and I dodge Sakura, she hits the wall and we walk inside.
"Storm, can't you for once be nice?" Sakura asks me.
I snort. "No, because your not nice to me. I'm living Karma." I say to her annoyed and Sakura just growls. "Anyways, Yamato I'm gonna go train for a while, the morons clearly have had enough of me at the moment." I say to him and Yamato just nods. I walk back out and I walk into the forest nearby. I sit on a branch knowing that Danzo's little follower, followed me.
"I hate crap that people give me, this is why I like Solo missions." I mutter and look at Sai as he jumps up on my branch. "You know its rude to follow someone with out permission." I say to him and Sai just smiles at me. I roll my eyes. "Let me guess, your here to give me crap too, give it your best shot, I've already heard everything." I say to him as I look up at the sun setting sky with a small smile.
"That's not why I came after you." Sai says to me as he sits down across from me with a serious face.
I look back down at him. "Look, if you just gonna talk, then go ahead, don't expect me to answer anything though." I say to him and Sai nods.
Sai just talks while I listen to him, he talks about his brother Shin and how he died and he talked about how he doesn't even remember his family and how didn't really even have a name before this mission, he talks about how he's confused about life and what not and what path he should go down. He ends up giving me a real smile as his eyes threaten to shed tears about everything.
"Thank you for listening, I doubt anyone would listen to that unless they have some experience about this." Sai thanks me.
I nod. "I'm not an idiot that would brush people aside when they need help. Sai, if your confused on what path to go down, then think about who you want to be remembered as. Your parents were most likely great people so don't think about how they left you to Danzo, I don't have parents and I was raised worse than you, I can sympathize on the loss of someone close to you because I lost Gramps, I mean Lord Third, he was like a Grandpa to me, and losing family is hard, so if you ever need to talk, I'm always there." I say to him as I mirror Kakashi's closed eyed smile.
I open my eyes as I hear a small sniff, I look at Sai who just smiles at me.
"Us parentless kids have to stick together right?" Sai asks.
I nod. "Alright, its about time you head back, Sakura is gonna kill me if you went missing on my watch." I say to him and Sai looks at me confused but nods and heads back.
I look up at the night sky for the rest of the night. After a while the setting changes and I look around confused.
"Storm!" Someone yells.
I look around and don't see anyone.
"What's going on?" I ask and I hear someone call my name urgently again.
I run in the direction I heard it but I don't get anywhere. "Why can't I move?" I ask and look down at my feet to see them glued to the floor.
Someone laughs manically and I look around as people's face's surround me.
"What? Can't you move? Or are you to afraid to face a problem, one that's plagued you for so long." The voice asks me.
I look around. "What's going on? Why are you targeting me?" I ask and the voice laughs.
"I am you, now tell me, why do you let people dump their crap on your doorstep huh? Wouldn't it be easier to just leave?" The voice asks me.
"Leave what? My family? My friends? My village?" I ask with a slight growl.
"Go on a permanent vacation from all the mean people, that's what I mean." The voice says to me.
I shake my head. "Not a chance, the only way to deal with mean losers is by ignoring them." I say to the voice.
"How is that working out for you? Your the one who's broken." The voice says to me.
I sit down. "Just leave me alone." I say and hug my knee's to me.
"Abyss, leave the poor girl alone." Another voice says and walks up in front of me.
I look at the person to see her in all white. "Nani?" I ask her.
"Sweetheart, don't listen to him." She says bending down in front of me. "Your not broken, your beautiful and whole, you have people who care for you, so don't think about the bad stuff, your parents would be proud of who you are, remember that." She says with a smile.
I smile. "Ok, now, time to do what I was supposed to do." I say and the lady smiles while the Abyss growls and I open my eyes.
I stand up as everything changes back but its noon now.
"Shit." I say and race through the forest with my bag in a scroll in my pouch.
I make it to the bridge and I accidentally trip and fall over the side. I grab the side of the cliff with one hand.
"Double shit." I say looking down below me.
I hear a laugh and I look up to see Kisame there with Itachi next to him.
I scowl. "Great, tweedle dumb and tweedle dumbass." I say and Kisame smirks while Itachi just nods in greeting. "You know, falling off the side wouldn't be so bad now, at least I'll land in a raging current of water and kill myself." I say sarcastically and Kisame bends down with Samahada on his neck.
"You know we aren't that bad." Kisame says to me.
I raise an eyebrow. "Kisame Hoshigaki, killed his comrades to get away from Ibiki Morino to save his skin then killed the guy who previously had Samahada and joined the Akatsuki shortly after Itachi Uchiha did." I say to him and Kisame just frowns in unamusement.
"You know this how?" Kisame asks.
"Loud mouth citizens of different villages who freely talk about whatever thinking they have no consequence's, they didn't realize I was standing near them listening in on their gossip." I say to him and Itachi just smirks at Kisame's face.
"Seems you outwitted him." Itachi says to me.
I nod. "I have nothing against Itachi though, I already knew what was going on with the Uchiha." I say to them.
Itachi frowns. "And you know this because?" Itachi asks.
"Once again loud mouths, except it was the Uchiha who was talking instead of Konoha citizens." I say and I remember I'm hanging off the side of the cliff. I let go and get out two kunai as I fall.
"No way." Kisame says shocked.
I stick my kunai into the side of the cliff and I jump off the side of it and I jump from wall to wall until I get to the top. I look back down at my two kunai from the side. "Damn." I say scratch the back of my neck thinking, not really caring that the two Akatsuki member's are watching me.
I pull out two more kunai and I throw them down with perfect accuracy and as much strength as possible. All four kunai hit the raging current and get washed away. "I have time to look for them, but that's such a pain." I say and both Akatsuki members hold something to my neck and I look to see Samahada and a normal kunai. "I'm busy, if you could threaten my life later, that would be appreciated, besides, I could take both you down with a single move." I say to them.
"And that would be?" Kisame asks with a smirk.
"Simple, I kick you over the side of the cliff and you die in the raging currents down at the bottom." I say and they both pick me up by the arms and take me to a clearing in the forest.
"Would you let me go, I'm on a mission." I say and they dump me on the ground. I stand up and jump up, leaving a mini crater where I was and I land back next to the bridge.
"That little." I hear Kisame yell and I smirk.
I run down the side of the cliff and I look around for my kunai. I growl as I see them at the bottom of the river. I take my Jonin vest off and my long sleeve to reveal my fishnet long sleeve on underneath, I take all my holsters off and I take my ninja sandals off, I set them in one area behind a rock and I dive into the river.
I swim to the bottom and I grab my four kunai. I swim back up and I swim to the shore.
My bangs plaster to my face and my hair sticks to my back. "That could have been worse." I say and move my bangs away from my face and I slick them over my head. I wring out my hair and I look around to see both Akatsuki members on a ledge on the side of the cliff looking at me.
I roll my eyes and walk over to my stuff to see a animal carrying it away. "Hey, give that back." I say chasing it down stream.
It hisses at me. "Finders keepers, losers weepers." It says to me.
"What? That was mine to begin with." I hiss back.
Oh yeah, I speak Parseltongue.
"Well too bad, its mine now." It hisses back at me.
I growl. "When I get you, I'm stripping you of your skin and feeding you to an animal." I hiss.
"What language is she speaking?" I hear Kisame ask as they both follow me.
"Parseltongue. Something James was able to speak." Itachi says to him.
That name, why do they keep reoccurring?
I jump at the snake I catch it and my stuff.
"Ok mr snake, your gonna be living in hell now." I say to him and the snake bites me in the arm, I hiss cut its head off. I look through my stuff as my vision starts to double from the poison from that snake. I find my suspension and I take one of the pills quickly.
"Damn snakes." I mutter and use some special water I keep to take out the poison that I suspended from spreading in my arm, I hold it over the poisoned area while the two Akatsuki just watch with an unreadable emotion. I mutter incoherent words and I get the poison out of my system, I put my kunai away along with my antidote pills. "This week gets even better doesn't it." I say sarcastically.
"She can do that type of stuff?" Kisame asks shocked.
I huff and put the special water back in its mini bottle and I look at the poison circling in it. "I can't believe I used my last one up, damn snakes." I say and put the cap on and I throw it as far down stream as I possibly can.
"You could have studied that poison you know." Itachi says to me.
"I already have, water snakes are a pain and they're poison is deadly, that's why I was in a hurry to do what I did." I say to him and I put my long sleeve back on and my ninja sandals as well, I take my hair out of my shirt and I put all my holsters back on. I sit down on a rock and I unseal my bag.
"She's acting like we're not even here." Kisame says with a mini growl.
I just roll my eyes and tie my hair up along with my bangs. I put my flack jacket on and I seal everything else in a scroll and I put it in my pouch.
I get up and jump from wall to wall till I get on top of the cliff. I look up to see its about 8 pm and I scowl. "That took to much time and tweedle dumb and tweedle dumbass aren't leaving me alone." I say and look down at the two figures as they race up the wall.
I run down the path and I sit down against a tree, the two Akatsuki members finally catch up and look at me with a mini scowl.
"Why are you here?" I ask them.
"Pain wants us to bring you to the Akatsuki hide out." Itachi says to me.
"Your boss can go to hell and rot, no way am I going there, I'm busy right now." I say to him.
"Looks like we have to force her." Kisame says and Itachi nods.
I growl and bolt down the bridge.
"WHA? HEY GET BACK HERE!" Kisame yells and they chase me.
I look around and I jump up into a tree and I jump from tree to tree. I make it to a clearing and I see Yamato, Sakura, Naruto and Sai.
"Shit, damn Akatsuki members and their damn leader." I mutter and jump back a few tree's and I block Samahada with two of my kunai. We clash in mid air a few times before we land, I growl as Kisame pushes against me and into the clearing, everyone looks at us.
"Storm?" Yamato asks.
"Long story that I don't feel like explaining right now." I say to him and I kick Kisame in the chin, sending him flying back, I punch Itachi into a tree and I pull out four more kunai and I hold three kunai in each hand.
"Why do you always get yourself in trouble?" Sakura asks me annoyed.
"Leave me alone Sakura." I say to her in a warning tone.
Itachi throws a few kunai at me and I block them with a shuriken, I catch my shuriken as the kunai fall to the ground.
Kisame hits me from behind and I grab Samahada by the front and I swing myself back and I kick Kisame in the back, making him fly into Itachi and they roll through the forest.
I stand there slightly annoyed as my angered aura flares around me and my eyes start flickering.
"Yoru." Itachi says shocked as he looks at me.
"Leave me alone." I say to them as I do some hand signs. "Shadow Style: Hand Flick." I say and I gather shadows, they make a hand in front of the two Akatsuki members and they get flicked far away, I call the shadows off and they melt back into the ground. I calm down and stand up straight.
I hear footsteps behind me and I dodge to the right and Sakura runs past me and almost hits a tree but I stop her shadow in time.
"Now will you explain why two Akatsuki members were after you?" Yamato asks me.
"No, because if I do, Sakura is gonna accuse of some crap and I'm gonna be pissed, besides, I was already bit by a snake, I had to dive into the raging currents to grab my kunai and my clothes were nearly stolen by the same snake. Oh did I also mention that I nearly fell off a cliff and died?" I ask rhetorically and Sai's eyes widen shocked. "I'm not having a good day." I say and grab the kunai I dropped.
"Why are you grabbing your kunai?" Sai asks me.
"These were specially made for me, they have the strength of the Hyuga's Gentle Fist and the durability of the Shikotsumyaku Kekkie Genkai of the Kaguya clan. I will not let anyone have these kunai because they were for one expensive and for two the only Kunai able two withstand a direct blow from the Executioners Blade along with Samahada the Shark skin sword." I say to him as I put my kunai away.
"The Kaguya clan?" Yamato asks me.
"Its a clan that is now extinct but had the ability to use their bones as weapons and not break, that is the Shikotsumyaku Kekkie Genkai they wield." I say to him and Yamato looks at me shocked.
I look around for a second before I look back at my team. "What exactly did I miss?" I ask them.
Sakura just huffs and walks back over next to Naruto.
"Captain Yamato treated us with a nice dinner yesterday night and he was about to make a shelter with his wood style before you brought your attackers here." Sai says to me.
