chapter 36- The First Kiss
I do not own Naruto, only my OC
Everyone seemed to get away, luckily unharmed. Jumping out of the cloud of smoke I was turned around by the chakra of the Hidan man. I raised my crystal sword and blocked his scythe. He grinned widely as he swung down at me, hitting it to the side I landed on my feet.
Walking backwards I dodged his attacks. Running up a tree beside me I ducked under his blade. 'This guy is the immortal,' My eyes narrowed as I stepped to the side, missing his blade. Turning around, I swung my blade down. A loud clash was heard as his weapon met mine. A big grin formed onto his face as we pushed each other back off of the tree.
"Not to shabby." He grinned.
I stayed in my defensive stance, my eyes fixed on Hidan. Shikamaru, Kakashi and Choji jumped behind me.
"Yuki," Choji muttered.
Ino jumped down beside me. "Are you okay?"
I nodded, "Yeah. I'm no longer in sage mode though, so I need a moment to get back in it. Could you guys cover me?"
They nodded, "Yeah, just find a spot." Kakashi pointed behind us.
"Thank you, it won't take too long." I made a move to go, but was stopped when Hidan's blade just missed me by inches. I eyes widened slightly as I glanced over at Hidan.
He scowled at me, "Where the fuck do you think you're going?"
Ignoring him, I jumped on his blade, sending into the ground. I smirked before running off "Hey! Get back here, bitch!"
I ran just behind the tree that everyone was standing in front of. Sitting down I did one jutsu. "Crimson fruit," Once the crystal surrounded me, I began absorbing natural chakra.
My eyes snapped open as I was once again in Sage mode. Standing up I released my crystal jutsu and made a clone. Releasing that I still had a kunai in the ground behind the enemies I smirked. Sending my clone back to my team I released my seal and appeared behind the two akatsuki members. Making another clone I started making my rasengan. My eye twitched when I noticed that they must have been talking the entire time, since they haven't moved from their spots.
Hidan looked at them, a smirk on his face. "I know you guys were looking for revenge, but it ain't happening with your skills. You all look like kids. I guess you were his students? What a pussy of a teacher, it's no wonder you can't handle us."
I glared at Hidan as did my clone, but before I could snap at him, Choji beat me to it. "Don't insult Asuma sensei like that!"
Shikamaru held a arm to hold back Choji. My clone stepped up, my wolf like eyes glaring at Hidan. "I wouldn't start thinking you won this fight. It's only started, and I will guarantee you that this fight will end up with him dead, and we'll find a way to kill your sorry ass."
The two akatsuki member's looked at my clone, just realizing I was back. Hidan smirked, "Oh? So you still think you can beat us? You're a just a kid."
"Correction, I'm an Okami kid." With that my clone disappeared into smoke. Everyone looked at my clone in shock just as I charged out from behind the tree.
I ran for a black body that Kakazu had released. Too shocked by me, I made contact with one. "Crystal Rasengan!"
A small explosion was present as the body was hit with the jutsu. One eyes closed as I was thrown back from the inpact. Kakashi caught me before I could hit the ground. I looked back at the damage, a smirk on my face. It had done more damage than when I was training. A bigger and much deeper hole had been made, and the body was crystallized where major organs would be.
Hidan and Kakazu looked from that to me, their eyes slightly more wide from shock. I panted as I was set on the ground, unaware of the strange stiffness in my arm. "So, what was that about just being a kid?"
Shaking off my attack, Hidan looked at Choji. "Tell me, what was so great about that dickhead, you fat fuck?"
My eyes widened as Choji charged at Hidan, his face bright red. "Choji!" Ino shouted.
His arms enlarged as he ran, luckily before he could get any closer to Hidan, Shikamaru got Choji's shadow, storming him. Hidan swung his scythe, just barely missing Choji.
Once I saw Hidan make a move to hit Choji fro above, I broke out of Kakashi's help and ran for Choji. Jumping I raised a kunai, blocking Hidan's scythe.
He grinned seeing me, I fliped backwards just as he swong again. Once again we were in the same fight as before, me dodging his attacks and him trying to kill me with his scythe.
"You're obviously not from the same team as the other three. Who was your teacher?" Hidan asked as I flipped onto a tree.
I glared at him from the corner of my eye, staying silent. He huffed, "Come on, bitch! Tell me!"
Pulling another kunai I threw it behind him, he laughed when it missed his body. "You missed, maybe I've been overestimating you."
I smirked, "I didn't miss." Appearing behind him I stabbed a kunai in his neck. He made a choking sound before pulling the kunai out of his neck angrily. He turned to me, a annoyed look on his face, I met his annoyed look with my one look of annoyance.
"Don't you know I'm immortal?!" He shouted, I nodded. "Then why did you even do that?"
"I don't like you." I stated simply.
His eye twitched before he ran at me again, swinging harder than before. I used one hand to block his weapon and the other to grab the top of it. Swinging myself onto the small staff of the wepon, I ran across it then kicked off on Hidan's face.
Landing behind him I snickered as he clutched his face. "Maybe that will make you look better!" I taunted as I began running up the tree.
"You little bitch!" He shouted, his feet pounding on the trunk of the tree. My eyes glanced over to see Kakashi and Shikamaru fighting the body's Kakazu released, I growled when I saw Ino and Choji being held by their necks by Kakazu.
"Kakashi sensei!" I shouted, he glanced at me and nodded. Changing my rout again, I tripped Hidan and made my way towards Kakashi. Once we were close enough, Kakashi took over Hidan and Kakazu's released body. I ran towards Kakazu.
"Crystal release: Gods crossing technique!" I exclaimed, sharp crystal formed towards Kakazu. Just as I did this, Shikamaru pulled out a summoning scroll. Water was summoned from the scroll, I smirked as Kakazu's released body shot lightning at Shikamaru, who dodged. The lightning hit the water, which then hit kakazu along with my crystal. He threw Ino and Choji away from him as he backed away from my crystal that had pierced his stomach.
Kakashi jumped down beside us, and grabbed Choji while Shikamaru grabbed Ino. I jumped after them.
I stood beside Kakashi while Shikamaru checked Ino and Choji. I blinked, feeling the strange stiffness in my arm. Ignoring it for now, I focused on the enemies, Hidan now beside Kakazu. Hidan looked at Kakazu.
"Dude, that was weak. What was up with that?" He asked.
Kakazu looked at Hidan. "The same goes for you, first not being able to handle one kid, then being fooled by a shadow clone."
Hidan rubbed his head, "Oops, you saw that?"
"Shikamaru, what's your next move?" Kakashi muttered.
I looked at Shikamaru, "We have to separate them." He said, I nodded. "Then we can corner them individually. After we eliminate their ability to do combo attacks, we'll focus on destroying his three remaining hearts. But to be successful, someone will have to distract Hidan."
"I'll do it," Ino said, standing up. "I've got the most chakra, plus I'm not skilled in straight fighting, so I'll use my Mind-Body Switch and-"
"No way. That technique only works when I hold the target down with my Shadow Mimic. If you miss, you won't return to your body for several minutes. It's too risky." Shikamaru shook his head.
I put my fist in my hand. "He looks like a pervert." Everyone stopped to blink and sweatdrop at me. "We could always use that jutsu Naruto-kun used to do."
"What's that?" Shikamaru asked, worry lased in his voice.
I grinned, "The sexy jutsu. It's a perfect distraction for any male, and he looks like a big pervert-"
"No." Everyone declined, their eyes twitching. I pouted, looking at Shikamaru.
"But you could have done it, Shikamaru-" I stopped when he put his hand to my mouth.
He sighed, "Just when I was starting to think you weren't that stupid. You troublesome woman." He looked at Hidan again. "I'll distract him though."
I grinned, thinking he was going to take my idea. He looked at me, "No, Yuki. I'm not doing what you wanted me to do though."
Kakashi sighed, "I blame Naruto for her stupid ideas like this."
Ino nodded, "That's the only explanation."
I ignored them as I looked back at Hidan. "I'll bind him with my shadow, then lead him away."
"How do you plan on snaring him, though? You need to distract him for that." Kakashi glanced at Shikamaru.
"Then, I'll-" Shikamaru stoped Choji.
"Nope. If he attacks a single drop of blood from you then you're dead. It's like last time, our team charging in to attack is the wrong move. Choji, you two need to save your chakra to fight the masked guy with Kakashi sensei and Yuki. I'll capture him myself." Shikamaru said.
"Shikamaru, I can help you." I said, walking to his side.
He looked at me, "No, Yuki. I think it's best if you stay here to fight. One hit from your Crystal Rasengan, and one more heart from that masked guy is down. And like I said before, just a single drop of blood and you'll be dead."
"But that's why I should help you. What if he gets a drop of your blood? Then you won't have any backup." I argued, Shikamaru looked at me. I sighed, pulling out a kunai. "Look, I'm sending a clone with you, if you need help she will disappear and I'll release this seal and help you." He looked at the kunai.
A small smirk formed on his face as he read the message on it. He took hold of the kunai I had received from Jiraiya and nodded to me. "Okay, Yuki."
I smiled and made a clone. "Crystal clone jutsu."
"Okay. We leave him to you, Shikamaru." Kakashi said, while handing Shikamaru something. After pocketing the object, Shikamaru started walking for Hidan.
Kakashi and I spun a kunai on our finger before holding onto it. Shikamaru made his handsign, his shadow going for Hidan. Hidan dodged it, laughing. "This again? Are my scythe abilities that scary?"
"No, their just so bad he dosen't want you hurting yourself." I snickered as Kakashi appeared in front of Kakazu.
I watched as Kakashi fought Kakazu to distract him, while Shikamaru's shadow continued chasing after Hidan. My legs were tense, my eyes narrowed.
"Fighting from a distance? What a pussy!" Hidan shouted, laughing.
I smirked when Shikamaru ran up behind him, swinging his fist out. Hidan caught his fist, locking their shadows together. "I wasn't just keeping my distance, and I'm not a pussy!"
"Shadow Mimic jutsu, successful." Shikamaru muttered.
"Go, Shikamaru!" Kakashi ordered.
"Leave the rest to us, Shikamaru." I grinned, my clone running to Shikamaru.
Making Hidan drop his weapon, he smirked. "Let's take a walk together."
"Yosh!" My clone grinned and began running beside Shikamaru.
"You sure you want to let him go. He's underestimating Hidan. It's a shame, that Shikamaru kid would have become a big bounty one day. But now, he'll be dead by the end of the day." Kakazu muttered, I clenched my teeth. "Then again, I can't blame your logic. I'm strong as well. I've got more experience than all of you put together."
I jumped beside Kakashi, who was surrounded by the other two 'hearts' of Kakazu. I placed my back against his. I glanced at Kakazu, grossed out from him. 'What is that coming out of his arm? It looks like tendrils.'
"Seeing the forehead protectors reminds me of the first Konoha shinobi I fought. The first Hokage." He smirked.
"Damn it, we're in trouble." I muttered. "Not only is he really old, but he faught the first Hokage and lived."
"Come on, Yuki. Don't tell me you're getting discouraged, that's not like you." Kakashi smiled, I looked at him. "If you start getting discouraged, then I guess there is no hope at all."
I paused before grinning, "Don't worry, Kakashi sensei. We'll live, I can die just yet. I did make a promise to stay alive until Naruto-kun becomes Hokage. This guy will be nothing!"
"So, are you a immortal or something?" I asked.
"No, there is no such thing as a true immortality in this world." Kakuzu stated.
I rubbed my head, "But Hidan is immortal, so there has to be something about immortality true."
He ignored my last comment. "I've only extended my life by stealing the hearts of powerful shinobi I defeat before my current one gives out."
I wrinkled my nose, "That's kinds gross, and not cool." I paused, feeling my clone disappear. "Kakashi sensei, I gotta go."
He glanced at me and nodded. "Don't worry, we'll handel this guy."
Ino and Choji looked at me worried. "Yuki, take care of Shikamaru!" Ino shouted, I smiled at her.
"Don't worry, I may not be as smart as Shikamaru, but I know what to do." With that, I released the seal I had put on Shikamaru.
I appeared in front of Shikamaru, who was on the ground a look of fear on his face. Glancing around I noticed we were in the forest near by. Kunai's were strung together by wire and tags placed on them. When I finally glanced at Hidan my eyes widened.
His body had turned balc and white, the white almost outlined a skeleten. He had stabbed his hand just before I get here and let the blood drip to the floor, then he was making something on the ground. "Oh, I see you're back."
I narrowed my eyes, "Shikamaru, what's he doing?"
He remained quiet, I looked at him. His face full of fear as he saw the symbol complete.
"I've been waiting for this." I looked at Hidan to see him stab himself in the chest. "What do you think? The pain is glorious, isn't it?"
I looked behind me at the sound of Shikamaru's voiced pain. My eyes widened when I saw him clenching the same spot that Hidan had just stabbed himself. "S-Shikamaru..." I muttered.
I stepped forward, catching him before he fell to the ground. "Shikamaru!" My eyes were wide as I looked at him.
"What a waist. Lord Jashin will be disappointed." Hidan muttered, I clenched my teeth. "I guess I'll just knock you out, bitch. Since Leader-sama want's you, I can't really kill you."
Hidan walked towards me, his blade at my back. I looked down at Shikamaru, a smirk formed when I realized he wasn't dead, but that smirk vanished when Hidan pierced the blade into my stomach. I grunted in pain as my blood splat on Shikamaru.
"But, he didn't say I couldn't hurt to the the point of almost being dead." He smirked, pulling out the blade fast. I winced, but was quick to stand up and attack.
My kunai slashed at his neck, making a wound, although it wasn't as deep as I had hoped. Hidan glared at me, but before he could attack again, Shikamaru lunged for him. He aimed for the same spot, although he didn't get any deeper.
Hidan glared and went to attack Shikamaru again, but I appeared in front of him. I winced as his blade went through my shoulder. Shikamaru quickly caught him by his shadow.
"You little prick." Hidan glared.
"Took you long enough, Shikamaru. I thought you were just going to pretend to stay dead, you lazy bastard." I teased, he smirked at me.
"Shut up, baka. At least I was smart enough to remember his jutsu." He teased back, it was my turn to smirk.
"Why the fuck are you still alive?!" Hidan shouted at Shikamaru.
"I was just playing possum. The blood on that spike isn't mine. It's your partners." Shikamaru smirked, I followed after him.
"I'd say I'm a pretty good actor, ne, Shikamaru?" I grinned, he looked at me.
"I guess you aren't too bad, but you didn't have to get hurt." He looked at my stomach and shoulder.
I grimaced, "Yeah, I didn't plan on that part. And my shoulder was only hurt because I stopped him from hurting you."
"How the hell did you-!" Shikamaru cut off Hidan.
"It doesn't matter who, we just needed a chance to get some of Kakuzu's blood. With this capsule, that is. After that, if became my job to capture you, of course Yuki helped too. As a matter of face, I think she made it a little more believable. That was the plan all along." Shikamaru smirked.
I went to heal my stomach, but stopped when I noticed something wrong with my arm. I swallowed, but acted like nothing was wrong for the moment. 'I can't let this immortal know if I'm unable to do something. More importantly, I can't let Shikamaru know either.'
Although, Shikamaru wasn't dumb, he looked at me. He didn't say anything, but I knew he knew something was wrong.
"Even a thickhead like me knows what's going on." Hidan laughed, my mouth went dry. "It's been like a thousand times at this point. Hell, any dumbass could figure out your technique after seeing it so often."
'I'm staying still... I should take advantage of this. Even though my arm is almost useless, I can't let this go to waste. I just need a good shot, I'll pay for the consequences after the battle.'
"What?" Shikamaru asked.
"Your shadow ain't as strong as it was before." His red-violet eyes glaring at Shikamaru. "Five minutes is your limit. I can move more!"
"Yuki, you're going to want to move soon." SHikamaru stopped when he saw my features changing again. "Damn it, hurry it up."
"When you bind someone with your technique, the effect lessens as time passes. Basically, the longer you use it, the weaker it gets. You're almost out of chakra, ain't ya?" Hidan's voice became louder, as did his laughing.
My eyes snapped open to see him in front of us. His arm raised, holding the needle that he stabbed me with earlier. For a moment, my eyes snapped in the direction I knew Kakashi was fighting in. A small smile formed on my face.
'Naruto's here.'
I went to move in front of Shikamaru, but stopped when I saw the tags on the wires stop Hidan. I smirked a little. "Shadow summoning jutsu!"
After the shadows surrounded Hidan, I looked at Shikamaru. "Shikamaru, aren't you interested what my crystal rasengan would do to a immortal?"
He looked at me and smirked. "Well, I'm not entirely sure. From what I saw, it looks like it crystallizes everything in their body, but what would happen to a immortal?"
"Hey, here's an idea. There's a immortal, one that I really find annoying, in front of us. How about I try it on him." A grin formed onto my face.
"It couldn't hurt." Shikamaru shrugged.
I let the crystal rasengan form, ignoring the pain in my stiff arm. Once it was fully formed I looked up at Hidan, a glare on my face. "Tell me how it feels, you bastard." Slamming my arm into his stomach I was pushed back by small explosion.
Looking up I saw his face twisted in pain as crystal stuck out of his major organs. "Y-You bitch!"
My glare stayed on my face, "I guess it just leaves them in a lot of pain. Especially with it hitting all of the body's major organs."
Shikamaru threw his blade at the circle he drew earlier. The ground caved under Hidan, leaving him hanging by the wires. "What the hell is going on?!" Hidan shouted.
"When did you set this up?!" He demanded.
"I had this all planned out before we came out here." Shikamaru smirked. " 'You dig two holes when you curse someone.' Do you understand what that means?"
"Of course not!" Hidan shouted.
I looked away, noticing the approaching chakras. I panted, leaning against a tree. 'I guess this fight is done. I'll get healed up, then pay my end of the bet with Naruto.' A small silent laugh escaped me. 'Who would have thought, I'll be giving up my first kiss to my best friend...'
My eyes narrowed in thought, 'But... Wait, I have other best friends too, but I don't feel the same around them as I do with Naruto. Could it- could it be that maybe, maybe it isn't a love illness, but something else.' My eyes widened as my heart sped up as the thought occurred to me. 'Do- do I love Naruto?'
I snapped out of my thoughts when Shikamaru blew up Hidan. I slowly walked to him, resting my arm on his shoulder. He looked at me, I only gave a small smile. "You did good, Shikamaru."
"Yuki, why didn't you heal yourself?" He asked, now that the fight was over.
I looked down at my hand. "There's something wrong with it. I don't really know yet, I'll have Sakura look at it when she gets here."
He blinked, "Huh?"
"I can sence Sakura and Sai's chakra." I looked up at him. "It's one of the perks of Sage Mode."
I looked at the hold as Hidan's laugh echoed through the hole. I let Shikamaru bury him, leaning on the tree beside me. I looked down at my arm.
I leaned on Shikamaru for support as we walked towards our team. I grinned beside him. "You're a pretty good ninja, Shikamaru."
He smiled at me, "Same goes for you, Yuki. You're just a but dense, but not too dense."
We stopped, seeing Sakura and Sai in front of us. I grinned, "Hey, Sakura-san, Sai-san!"
Hey eyes went wide. "Don't tell me, you two took out a Akatsuki member all by yourselves?"
"You're much more capable than I thought." Sai said.
"Eh, Sakura-san. I need some help." I muttered, wincing as we took another step towards them. Her eyes went wider as she saw my wounds.
"Why didn't you heal yourself?" She asked as she went to heal my stomach, but I stopped her. "I need you to look at my arm first. There's something wrong with it. After that, we need to meet up with Naruto-kun. I have to pay up my end of the bet."
She blinked at me, "What be- You found a immortal?!"
Sakura's face went fearful as she pulled away from my arm. She looked at me, but before she could speak I interrupted her. "Forget it, Naruto-kun and the others need us. You can tell me after we help them."
She paused, but after a look from me she nodded and we began running for our team.
I jumped down to see Naruto laying on the ground, panting. "Naruto-kun!" I ran to him quickly. He looked at me with one eye.
He smiled when he saw me, "Hey, Yuki-chan."
I picked him up, "You know, I found a immortal."
That seemed to make his eyes open, he looked at me. "You did?"
I nodded, ignoring everyone. "Yeah, so I guess I have to pay up the end of our bet then." His eyes widened as I leaned down and let our lips meet. As stupid as it sounded, nothing had ever felt more right, than this moment.
'I guess I really have been dense this entire time... I didn't even notice that I've liked my best friend for some time...'
End of Chapter 36!!! :3 I'm positive that you guys liked this chapter very much. Yuki finally kissed Naruto, AND she realized that she has feeling for him! I also think it wasn't too short of a chapter. Now for me doing this, I'm expecting a lot of comments and votes.
So, I'm sure you guys also realize what's wrong with Yuki's arm, and I'll explain why in the next chapter. So comment and tell me what you guys think.
