Watching: The Nightmare Before Christmas
Mood: Tired but good.

Recap

I knind of miss working in the Acadamy at Suna. I liked it there because it was something different. It took my mind of things that would normally have made me upset. Like Neji. I frowned.
"Kitsame?" Gai asked from beside me. I looked up.
"Yes Gai-sensei?"

"Are you ok. You seem alittle distant" He asked.

"I was just thinking" i smiled. "Its nothing really but i better be going. I have a mission tomorrow and i need to prepare for it" I stood and started to walk home.

'Atleast i will be able to go back there again' i sighed

"Kitsame?" I heard someone say from beside me. I looked over and saw Sakura.

"Yes whats up Sakura?" I asked her.
"While you where travelling did you see Naruto or Sasuke?" she asked. I frowned.

"No. I heard alot about them though. Well Naruto atleast" i replied.

"What did you hear?" She asked
"It wasn't specifics but i heard some people talk about a blonde haired boy causing trouble near the land of waves. They said he was loud, rude and hard headed but also very detirmind to train and get stronger. He also claimed he was going to be the Hokage so i am pretty sure it was Naruto"

"Thats good that he is ok. Thanks Kitsame!" Sakura exclaimed. She smiled and walked away.
'She misses him. And Sasuke.' i thought. I couldn't help but miss Naruto a little. He always used to buy me a bowl of ramen if i was passing the ramen bar. His pressence in the leaf village was a big one and the place seemed different without him there. Who knows. Maybe he will be back soon anyways.

End Recap

I arrived back home and saw Mitsuki and Yoiri sitting at the kitchen table.
"Hi Onee-chan" Mitsuki smiled when she saw me. She had her hair cut. It was short and very messy. i smiled because it suits her.
"Nice hair cut Mitsuki. It suites you" i smiled back.
"Thanks. We got everything that we would need for our mission. Including some sample jars for the rare hurbs and plants that grow in Suna." Yoiri said as i sat down at the table. I nodded and looked over at the clock. 5:37. I frowned i thought it was earlier then that. i sighed as stood again.
"I am going out again. You girls get some sleep we will leave the village at 5am" i said. They both nodded and i left the room. I slipped on my sandles and went outside. It was a cool evening and the sun was just setting. i smiled.

i walked around for an hour until i found the best spot to sit. It was on the building that i first got to know my team.
Flashback
"And the final team is...Neji Hyuga, Tenten, Rock Lee and Kitsame Morohosi" Iruka called "And your Sensei is Might Gai" A man wearing a green jumpsuit, orange leg warmers and a jounin jacket came into the room.
"Hey Gai-Sensei" I waved. I had met Gai before. He used to work with Kakashi Onii-san. I stood up and walked over to him. Neji, Lee and Tenten followed behind me. We followed Gai-Sensei out of the Acadamy and walked through the village. Tenten was walking close to Neji and Lee was following Gai-Sensei like a love sick puppy. I frowned as i followed behind. We walked until Gai-Sensei stopped infront of a tall building. Running along side it was a spiral staircase which lead to the roof. We climbed up and looked out across the village. I had been here before. This is where i met Chouji and Shikamaru.
"OK Team sit down" Gai-sensei said. We did as imstructed and looked at Gai. "Now tell me a little about yourselfs"

"Like what?" Tenten asked.

"Name, Likes, Dislikes, Ambitions stuff like that. You go first" Gai replied.

"OK my name is Tenten. I like Shopping, Hanging out and talking to my mom. I dislike constant training and loud people. I want to be the best Female Shinobi around and i specialise in Ninja Weapons." Tenten said with a smile on her face.
"Ok you next" Gai said pointing to Neji.

"My name is Neji Hyuga. My Life is none of your concern and all i want is to become stronger" Neji said coldly.

'Jeez this guy is a real kill joy' I frowned.

"oook. You next!" Gai pointed to Lee.
"My name is Rock Lee and i want to be the strongest ninja around! Even though i can not use Nin-Jutsu or Gen-Jutsu!" Lee yelled. My eyes widened.
'He can't use Jutsu? how did he pass the graduation exam?' i thought as Gai-Sensei pointed to me.
"And what about you?" he asked

"My name is Kitsame Morohoshi. I like Training, Hanging out with Chouji-Kun and Shikamaru-Kun, Annoying Kakashi Onii-san and walking through the village at night. I dont like preppy, Loud people, Being bored, loosing and being ill. All i want is to be strong enough to protect the people i care about and to be able to protect the leaf village." i replied while smiling from ear to ear.
"Well you are certianly all very different. Training will begin tomorrow at 6AM Sharp. You will meet me at training ground 3 and dont be late!" Gai said as he disappeared.
"Well i should get going as well" I smiled as i stood up.

"But shouldn't we get to know each other better. I mean we are on the same team" Tenten tried to argue.

"Cant stay and chat sorry Tenten some other time. Cya!" i smiled as i ran to the edge of the roof.
"Are you Insane!" I heard Lee yell as i jumped off the building. I flipped in mid air and landed on my feet. I looked back up to see Lee and Tenten looking back down at me. I waved and ran down the busy street home.

End Flashback

I looked over the edge and smiled.
"You shouldn't be out here alone you know" I heard a voice call from behind me. I turned sharply and drew a Kunai. No one was there.
"What the hell?" i whispered. I sighed and lowered my Kunai. I looked back over the village and sank back into my thoughts but before i could get to comfortable i heard footsteps behind me. This time i stayed facing the village until the footsteps where right behind me. I turned and kicked out my leg and caught a man in the face. I frowned.
"Who are you?" i asked as i raised my Kunai. He didn't answer. He just looked at me. Before i had time to blink he swung a punch at me. I blocked and went to hit him back but he jumped to my left. I swung a low kick at him and he fell. I jumped on top of him and held a Kunai to his throat.
"WHO ARE YOU!" i yelled. He just stared at me. "You better tell me before i cut your throat out!"

"You will die" he whispered. I looked at him with a confused face before he disappeared. I frowned and focused my Chakra to my feet, Then i pulsed it through the floor. No-one.
"Damn it!" i yelled as i punched the ground hard.
"Kitsame?" i heard from infront of me. I looked up and saw Shikamaru staring down at me. I could tell he was worried so i stood and brushed myself off.
"Sorry Shikamaru. Whats up?" I asked. I could feel my face getting hotter.

"Nothing. are you Ok? Who where you talking to just now?" He asked.

"I was attacked by someone i think, but he just disappeared." i sighed

"Attacked are you ok?" He paniked
"Yer im fine. I had the upper hand but he ran for it i guess." I smiled "What are you doing up here anyways?"

"Well i came to watch clouds but if yu want me to leave-" Shikamaru began
"No i was just leaving anyways. Bye Shikamaru" I walked to the steps and walked down them .

'Who the hell was that anyways?' i thought to myself as i reached the bottom step. i sighed and started to walk again. I walked for a little while when i bumped into Kiba.

"Hey Kitsame, What you doing out here?" He asked

"Just taking a walk, You?"
"Training with Akamaru. I wanted to get this new jutsu perfected before my next mission" Kiba replied.
"Well ok, Cya around Kiba." I waved and continued walking.
'I wonder how long the sealing jutsu will last. Im getting bored of my own voice.' i thought as i arrived back home. 'Well, i should get some sleep.'

I unlocked the front door and walked inside. There was no noise and the lights where all off so the other 3 must already be asleep. I climbed the stairs and quietly opened my door. i changed and slid into bed. i looked over at my clock. 21:29. I swiched on the alarm, which was set for 6:00, and looked up at the celling. after a few minutes i fell asleep.

Dream

Everything was black. I walked forward and tried to shout for someone. No words came from me. I ran forwards as fast as i could when i saw something in the distance. i ran towards it. It was a person on the ground. I continued running towards the person. I reached the person i realised it was Neji. He was covered in blood. I tried to call out his name but my voice failed. He opened his eyes and looked at me. He had pure fear in his eyes. I reached out to him but he backed away. I found my voice again.

"Neji? whats wrong?" i asked. I was starting to panic.

"Stay away from me you monster!" Neji yelled. I froze.

"what...what a..are you talking about?" I stuttered.

"Get back!" He yelled. He pulled out a Kunai knife and threw it towards me. I tried to move out of the way but my feet where stuck. The Kunai hit me in the chest and i fell back. Pain shot through my body and tears filled my eyes. I saw movement beside me as Shikamaru stepped into veiw. He was using his shadow posession on me. Tears fell from my eyes.

"Lee, Tenten, Kill it now!" Shikamaru yelled. I looked from Shikamaru to Neji and then to behind Shikamaru where i could see tenten and lee running towards me. Tenten pulled out a weapon scroll and Lee prepared his hidden lotus.
"No, Please! Its me! Its Kitsame please stop!" I cried but they all ignored me. Tenten released her weapons at me and Lee started to kick and punch at me.

I fell back as the force of the attacks hit me. More pain shot through me as i fell. The lights dimmed and i fell into a lonely dark silence. It felt like i was there for hours when the sound of water reached my ears. I looked up as a figure bent over me. I didn't recognise this person but i could tell it was a woman. I tried to focus my eyes but they kept blurring.
"Wake up Kitsame. This is just a dream. Wake up now" The woman said.
"Who...are you?" i whispered.

"Its me, Nei. I am sorry i wasn't here to spare ou this pain." The woman replied. "Now wake up"

Dream End.

I shot up in bed. I was breathing heavily and covered in a cold sweat.
'Nei?' i thought.

'yes i am here. Are you ok?' Nei replied. I sighed in relief.

I looked up over at the mirror on the other side of the room. I looked a mess so i decided to take a shower. I stood and looked at the clock. 4:50. I stepped into my bathroom and turned on the hot water. Once i was done in the shower i brushed my hair and dried it. I tied it up into a high pony tail and put on my headband. I changed into my clothes and walked out of my room and downstairs. I made a start on breakfast when i head a knock on the door. I looked at the wall clock which read 5:37.

'Who in hell...?' I walked to the door and opened it. Outside stood Neji.
"Neji, Do you know what the time is?" i asked.
"yes, I knew you where going on a mission so i decided to say goodbye."
"Aww...well, i was just making breakfast...would you like to join me and the girls?" i asked.

"Sure" Neji replied as he stepped inside. i closed the door and walked back into the kitchen. Neji was stood at the oven finishing the pancakes i had started.
"You don't have to do that you know. I said i was making it." i smiled.
"I wanted to. Plus you have to wake the girls." He said as he smiled back.
"Ok i agree with you this time." I laughed. I turned away from Neji and walked back up the stairs. I opened Yoiri's door and walked in. She was still asleep and i sighed. I walked over to her bed and shook her.
"Hey, Yoiri. Wake up breakfast is nearly ready" i said quietly. She opened her eyes and looked up at me.
"Ok Kitsame-Sensei." She replied as she sat up.
"And can you wake up Mitsuki and Soroki as well. we all need to eat before we go, and we are leaving soon" i said as i left the room.
"Sure thing Kitsame-Sensei." she replied as she got out of bed. I walked back down the stairs and back into the kitchen. Neji had finished making pancakes and had set them down on the table. I smiled at him as i got some orange juice out of the fridge. I set it down on the table as Neji hugged me from behind.
"You will take care of yourself, Wont you?" he said quietly.

"Of course. You don't need to worry about me. I will be fine, ok" i whispered in reply.

"ok" Neji leaned closer to me and kissed my neck. I smiled and turned to him, Wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. He kissed back and we stood like that for what seemed like hours. I heard a cough behind us and the kiss broke as Neji looked around. Mitsuki was standing there with her eyes wide.
"Well...I thought you'd never tell me who he was. You guys look good together" She smiled. Her eyes returned to her head and she sat down at the table. I smiled over at Neji before i grabbed up some plates and sat down at the table. Neji joined me a few seconds later and took my hand. i smiled at him again as Yoiri and Soroki came into the room. They sat down at the table and we started to eat.
"So what are you girls doing on this mission then?" Neji asked me.

"Its just diplomatic. I need to speak with the Kazekage about the next Chuunin exams, And the girls are going to collect herb samples for lady Tsunade." I replied.

"How long will you be gone?"
"A week or 2 maybe. It depends on how long the negotiations take but i wouldn't expect them to last to long"
We all finished eating and started to clean up. Neji kept glancing at me but looked away when i looked back.

'Nei, do you sense anything strange about Neji?' I asked Nei in my head.

'He seems abit on edge. You should ask him whats wrong' I sighed and walked over to Neji.
"Can i talk to you...alone?" I asked him.

"Sure" We walked into the living room and sat at the couch.

"Neji, Whats wrong?" i asked

"Nothing, Im fine" he replied.
"Please tell me Neji. I know somethings bothering you i can tell. please" I pleaded.
"It just...I had this dream last night where...well you tried to to kill me...but you didn't look like you. You looked like a...demon" he explained. My eyes widened in shock.
'H...how?' i stared at him.
"But i know that you can't be like that...whats wrong Kitsame?" Neji said.
"N...nothing im ok. you know that i would never hurt you. You know that right?" i asked.

"I know." Neji said. He leaned over and kissed me lightly on the lips. I smiled. Mitsuki walked into the room. She smiled at me and picked up her back pack. I smiled back and stood up.
"I'll be right back!" i smiled as i jogged up the stairs. I opened my door and looked around. I first went to my closet and pulled out my Black back pack. Inside where my spare clothes, a few Kunai Knifes and Shuriken and some protien pills. I then grabbed my Kunai pouch and Katana and attached them to myself. I looked in the mirror and smiled. I walked down the stairs and met my team and Neji looking up at me.

"We should get going. Its a long way to the sand village and we are running late as it is" i smiled. They nodded and Neji smiled at me. I walked over to him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed his lips lightly. "I will be back in a few weeks Ok"
"Ok...Be careful" Neji whispered in reply. I smiled at him and we walked, Hand in hand to the front door. We left the house and i locked it before me and Neji parted ways.

"Come on Kitsame-Sensei, Enough with the mushy stuff and lets go already" Soroki said as i kissed Neji once again.

"Bye Kitsame" Neji sighed

"Good bye Neji" i replied as i dropped his hand and turned towards the village gates. "Girls lets go. Neji please tell Lady Hokage that we have left on our mission and i will send her a message when we arrive." I yelled back as we ran out of the village and onto our first team mission.

Well thats it for this part. It took a while but i finally have it finished and done so i hope you all enjoy it!
