《The Demon and The Avenger (Sasuke Love Story)》Chapter 11. Ookami Eyes
Advertisement
When I woke up everything was blurry. 'Where am I?' I thought. Once my eyes adjusted, I stared at the ceiling for a few minutes. I quickly realized I didn't know where I was and quickly sat up from the pallet that I was on. The fast movement caused a sharp pain on my side making me groan and grab the area of pain. I looked around the fairly large room and sighed. I flung the sheets off me and headed for the door.
As I swung the door open, I looked around. There were two doors in front of me and a door next to mine. I saw stairs were down the hall and silently hurried for them. As I rushed down the stair my legs got tangled up over each other causing me to fall down the stairs. When I hit the bottom my face was pressed against the floor and my whole body was in pain. "Ow," I groaned as I lifted myself off the floor. I sat up and rubbed my head that was in pain. Stupid stairs.
I felt a presence in front of me and looked up. I saw a little boy. The boy was wearing green overalls with a white T-shirt under them. He wore a white hat with blue stripes on them. The boy also had black messy hair and onyx eyes. We stared at each other for a while.
"Uh..." I said trying to think of what to say. There was a long and awkward silence stood in the room. Then another pain erupted on my side again, this time it felt worse. It felt as if kunai were continuously stabbing me. I brought my hands to my stomach and lean forward letting out a small whimper. My head was leaning on the floor and I let out a small whimpered. The boy simply stared at me and then walked away. What an asshole kid.
"Damn kid doesn't even care," I mumbled as I got on my feet.
"Reika!" two familiar voices called. I turned around and saw Naruto and Sakura and Sasuke at the doorway. I winced at the pain that shot in your side again. Immediately Naruto and Sakura came to my side. "Your not supposed to walking around. You need more rest," Sakura admonished.
"I'm fine. My muscles are just stiff that’s all.” I lied.
"I'm surprised you’re even up after that wound on your side," Sasuke said pointing to my bandaged side. I heard two pairs of footsteps come into the room. "Oh, I'm glad to see your up. Are you hungry?" A woman said. Next to her, stood the boy from earlier. I took my gaze from the boy and on to the woman. I slowly nodded and she smiled then walked towards the kitchen.
"My name is Tsunami by the way and this is my son Inari." Said the women. I nodded and followed them into the kitchen. Everyone one else followed. As I slowly chewed my meat, I noticed everyone was looking at me. I felt an irritation building up in my body.
"What are you all looking at?" I asked curiously. Everyone then took their gazes away from me and just started looking at something else. This made an anger mark pop on my forehead and my eyebrow started twitching.
"Well spit it out," I growled agitated.
"Its nothing. Its just that we never seen you without your mask on," Sakura said looking down. My eyes widened. That's when it hit me. I wasn’t wearing my mask! I closed my eyes and smirked revealing my carnivirous fangs. The smirk made everyone look at me again. I mentally saw their eyes widened when they saw my fangs.

"I had my face covered so people wouldn't stare at my fangs." I said simply.
"So please try not to stare," That made everyone take their gazes off of me. It was quiet for a long time while I ate my meat.
Then out of nowhere, Naruto blurts out a random question.
"Hey Reika, what's that thing you used back when we were fighting Zabuza?" Sasuke and Sakura both glanced at me wanting to hear my answer. I finished the last to piece of meat, set down the chopsticks.
"Ookami Eyes," I said simply.
"Oh-ke-ma Eyes?" he asked dumbfounded.
"Ookami Eyes" I corrected him.
"Its a Doujutsu. It’s passed down through my clan's bloodline. It's really rare, because only specific members obtain it."
"What does it do?" Sasuke asked curiously. I slowly opened your eyes and looked at Sasuke.
"It allows me to see a person's chakra. It can also put a person in a Genjutsu and show them a painful death. This paralyzes the victim with an enormous amount of fear."
"Wooooah" Naruto said amazed.
"That's not all. Like the Sharingan, Ookami eyes can predict a person's movement. " Sakura stated.
"Good job pinky, yeah did your homework,” I said sarcastically. I smirked when I saw her glare at me.
FF (Kakashi wakes up)
"Kakashi Sensei are you alright?" Sakura asked worried
"Ugh, I think so. It's going to be a week before I can move." Kakashi said groggily.
"You over worked your Sharingan,” I said looking out the window.
"Oh good to see your up too Reika," he said smiling
"Look Kakashi-sensei, your Sharingan is great and all, but if it puts too much stress on you, maybe it's not worth it." Sakura said, kneeling down beside Kakashi.
Kakashi apologized. "Well, he did take down one of the most powerful assassins so we should be safe for now." Tazuna said.
"Right, but, that boy with the mask, what about him?" Sakura asked curiously.
"He's from the elite tracking unit in the Village Hidden in the Mist. Those masks are only worn by the elite tracking shinobi." Kakashi explained.
"What exactly do they do?" Sakura asked curiously.
"The ANBU Black Ops, also known as the Infernal Squad, destroy all traces of a road ninja's corpse. The shinobi's body contains many secrets, ninjutsu chakra. Special medicine is used on his body. There are the secrets of their village, if the enemy found them; his people will be in great danger. If instant, if I was to die in the hands of an enemy, you would try to analyze my Sharingan. In worst case, my jutsu can be stolen and used against our home village. It is the sacred duty of a tracking ninja to prevent this, to keep the village secret safe. If a ninja betrays his village than trackers hunt him down, and obliterate any trace of their existence, that's their specialty." Kakashi explained.
Kakashi spaced out for a second.
"Hey are you okay, sensei?" Naruto asked.
"Oh…. Yeah, to finish what I was saying, tracker ninja deal with the body immediately, on the spot, so there's no room for error." Kakashi explained.
"Is that really important?" Sakura asked.
"Think about it, do you know what that tracker did to Zabuza's body?" Kakashi asked.
"We don't know what he did; I guess he just took it away." Sakura answered.
"Exactly. But, why? He should have worked Zabuza right there as quickly. Think of the weapon's he used to take him down." Kakashi asked.

"Throwing needles… no way." Sasuke said surprised.
"What are you guys talking about, you demolished that assassin." Tazuna said calmly.
"Did we? I mean… if Zabuza was really dead, why didn't that tracker finished him off right there. They would usually cut the ninja's head off. But in this case he used throwing needles, as if he was trying to save him," I explained.
"Wait a minute… you don't mean.." Naruto said nervously.
"Yeah, Zabuza's still alive." I answered.
"WHAT!" Tazuna, Naruto and Sakura shouted.
"But, we saw his body! Believe it!" Naruto shouted.
"But, you said yourself that his heart stopped!" Sakura shouted.
"His heart did stop, only in a temporary state to simulate death. The weapons that tracker used was called 'Senbon'. They can pierced deeply, but rarely kill unless they hit a vital organ, not in the neck. They're needles modified for medical treatment, like acupuncture. Trackers are to know every detail of the human body, causing the heart to stop temporary while keeping the body alive is an easy matter of them. First, he carries Zabuza's body away, even though it's much heavier than he is. Second, he used Senbon that has a precise affect, but is rarely fatal. From these two factors, we can conclude that the tracker wasn't trying to destroy Zabuza, he was trying to save him." Kakashi explained.
"Come on, you're over thinking this, aren't you?" Tazuna asked.
"Encountering suspicion, the ninja prepares quickly, hesitation leads to disasters. Every shinobi knows this saying." Kakashi told Tazuna.
"How are we supposed to prepare quickly when you can't even move?" I asked.
Kakashi laughed, "I can still train you."
"Hold on! Last minute training won't make us strong enough to fight Zabuza. You can barely defeat him with your Sharingan, we have to be reasonable about this." Sakura complained.
"Sakura, why was I able to fight Zabuza in the first place. You all helped me. You've grown… Naruto… you grown the most." Kakashi told Naruto.
Naruto grinned, "So you noticed sensei, now things are going to get better. Believe it!" Naruto replied. What a pain, that he's still’s alive.
I got up. "I'll be outside" I said as I walked outside. As soon as I walked out, I flash stepped on to the rooftop and laid down. I stared at the full moon admiring it's beauty, but I felt a person's chakra presence on the roof with me. I quickly sat up and looked at the person and saw... Sasuke.
"Uchiha? What are you doing up here" I asked curiously.
"I was about to ask the same.” He said looking at me. I rolled my eyes and laid back down. I listened as I heard his footsteps got closer and then sat by me.
"It's nice up here,” he simply said.
"Yeah, I usually come up on the roof and look at the stars and the moon. It clears my mind and helps me think," I stated not taking my gaze off the moon.
'Why is he up here?'
"What do you want Uchiha?" I asked. He looked at me for a second and then looked back at the moon.
"I wanted to ask you something," he replied.
"Ok what is it?"
"Back when we were fighting Zabuza, He called you 'Little Shinagami.' Why?" My body stiffened at the question.
"It's because I have a demon inside of me," I said softly. Sasuke quickly ripped away his gaze at the moon and stared at me with wide eyes.
"The Demon of The 11 Tailed Wolf, otherwise known as Hayataro, The Shinagami Demon; was sealed inside of me while I was a baby," I said in a low voice as I slowly placed my hand over my stomach.
"Because of this, I was feared by most of my clan. Most of my clan would call me The Little Shinagami. The other half didn't have the guts to say it because I was the clan leader's daughter. But I'm grateful that I have the demon inside of my though. Because of it, I have gained unbelievable strength. Throughout the years, my brother Yuki had taught me how to use its chakra and power." Why the hell am I telling him this?
"That would explain the black chakra," Sasuke stated. I slowly nodded.
"But unfortunetaly, the seal is not a strong one. Meaning it's easier for my demon to take over, my body... " I said in a low voice.
"Uchiha can you do me a favor," I whispered loud enough so he could hear. He nodded and I looked at him with serious eyes.
"If I ever lose control of my demon... I want you to kill me," I said in firm voice. His eyes widened but then he closed his eyes and nodded slowly. I sighed in relief and smiled at him making him blush and looked back the moon.
"That's not all you wanted to ask me is it?" I asked the Uchiha.
He looked at me dumfounded for a second but then realized what I was talking about.
"Who was it from the Akatsuki the helped with the massacre?" he asked. The question made me flinch a little. There was a long silence that stood between us that made me feel uncomfortable so I spoke up.
"His name was...Itachi Uchiha,” I said hesitantly. The name Itachi seemed to make him flinch a little. I stood up and walked over to Sasuke who seemed to be deep in thought. I held my hand out towards him.
"Come on let’s go in," I said emotionless. He looked up at me and just stared at the hand.
"You gonna take it or what?" He seemed to come back into reality and gladly take the hand. As I lifted him up my foot slipped and we lost balance. Oh Crap. I ended up falling off the roof taking Sasuke down with me making a loud crashing sound where we made impact to the ground. As soon as I hit the bottom, I looked down and saw that I was on top of Sasuke and my lips were on each other. Oh. My. God. I had kissed Sasuke! My face started blushing madly, and Sasuke was the same. We stayed like that for a while, still in shock.
"What was that sound!" Naruto asked as he ran outside with Sakura. As soon as they saw us Naruto had a shocked look on his face and Sakura looked as if she was going to kill me. We quickly pulled apart still blushing like mad. 'Wow, I knew you had a crush on the kid, but dang Ididn't know you had it in you.' Haya said making a darker shade of red flash upon my face.
'S-Shut up! It was an accident!' I argued. We simply got up and walked into the house pretending that didn't just happen.
