[ P - Pre-Teen ]



 
 
 
 
~There's no doubt about it … that girl … she's following us …~ Sasuke thought his face evidently disturbed.
 
“Sasuke-kun … what's wrong?” Sakura asked her voice sweet as sugar but it still managed to make Haoku sick.
 
“We're being followed …” Sasuke said his voice braking off as he turned around and threw a round of shuriken in Haoku's direction.
 
“Nice try Uchiha Sasuke … but not good enough.” She whispered as she wrapped her arm around Sasuke's throat a kunai in her hand pressed delicately against his pale soft skin.
 
“Sasuke!” Sakura and Naruto cried out.
 
Haoku's hands started to shake. ~No … no … it … it can't be him … not him …~
 
~Why's she looking at Naruto like that … what's wrong with her …~ Sasuke took the opportunity to knock the kunai out of her hand then shove her back against a tree. “Who are you?”
 
“My … my name is … Komadori …” She replied seeming to forget her temporary name.
 
Sasuke's grip tightened around her shoulders. “Don't lie to me!”
 
She sighed. “Haoku … Haoku Hamagichi …” She said sadly her dignity draining.
 
“Do you have a team?” Naruto asked
 
“No … I … I'm a loner …” Haoku replied her blue hair hanging in her face.
 
“Well now you do … welcome Haoku-chan!” Sakura yelled out
 
“Thanks but one thing … never ever call me chan.” Haoku said glaring at Sakura.
 
“Um … yes … yes Haoku-san …” Sakura stuttered. ~Inner Sakura: No fair Sasuke-kun's starting to like her! She's going down, no doubt about it chaa!~
 
“Um … would you mind something Sakura?” Haoku asked her glare sharp and some what rude
 
“Hmm … what Haoku-san?”
 
“Quit thinking bad crap and get back to planet Earth.”
 
“Wha … what?”
 
Sasuke seemed to grin as he followed her. ~Haoku … Hamagichi … this girl is strange … she can certainly show Sakura a lesion … I like her … she has attitude …~
 
“Haoku you're never going to
amount to anything if you
don't pay attention!”
 
“Sensei … I don't want to
amount to anything is the
world of the ninja have
you ever thought
about that?” Haoku
back sassed her
sensei.
 
“Haoku … you have to
… We have to … to
Survive … what is it
You want to do?”
 
“I want to protect
those close to me
I don't want to see any
One else I care about die
… I can't take it … I
Won't … I will be
Stronger …”
 
“Then … you
Have to protect
You dream …
Never let
Anyone get in
You way …
Keep that
Dream close to
Your heart and
It will
Come true
Eventually …”
 
The seven year
Old Haoku nodded
“Back to training sensei?”
 
“Yes Haoku,
Back to training …”
 
“Haoku! Take your own advice and quit day dreaming!” Sasuke yelled a shuriken deeply embedded into his right arm as he stood in front of her.
 
“What the … Sasuke-sensei …” The words just slipped out of her mouth. She looked around and found the disguised Orochimaru. ~No … not him again …~
 
“Pay attention Haoku!”
 
Haoku smiled ~So you haven't changed much since you were younger have you sensei?~
 
Uh oh how's
Naruto involved
In Haoku's future
And will four be
Enough to defeat
The fearsome
Orochimaru?
