Here's chapter three. Sorry about the delay but im gald to hear that you guys like it. Also sorry about this but there must be some consequences? Not sure if that works but can't really think of a better word. Anyway some consequences should happen because of the events.
I didn't get to sleep that night, everything just felt wrong. There was no mutterings of 'The Great Captain Usopp." I didn't hear Sanji and Zoro fighting in their sleep. There were no cries of "Super!" or "Sanji more meat." I couldn't hear Richie purring in his sleep. I think the worst part is that when I went outside to gaze at the stars and clear my head Robin wasn't there like she usually was. She was all ways there waiting whenever the nightmares got too bad or I just had trouble sleeping, she would always be there to talk to, to help me feel better but not any more. I would never see her when I had to clear my head, I would never see Zoro when I needed advice, I would never see Luffy who would always instinctively fill me with confidence and remind me that we were all a family...I would never see any of them, I would never see my family again.
I just sat on the roof of that shitty apartment. I knew she wouldn't show up but I refused to leave the roof that night, hoping that Robin or maybe even Zoro would show up.
They never did.
…
After the long sleepless night I was obviously not in the best mood so when I got back to my apartment and heard a cry of "Nee-chan," I'm sure you can understand why I grabbed Naruto by the throat and shoved him against the wall. "Do not call me that again," I growled. "Do you understand?"
Naruto stared at me in shock before it turned into a hateful glare, refusing to say anything. I dropped him, deciding not to bother, and said a simple "get out."
"Just like everyone else," he muttered angrily.
That did it for me, looking back I know I was overreacting but at the time I simply didn't care. "Like everyone else?" I growl out. "How the fuck am I like those bastards? Let's see I stopped your place from getting trashed, I let you stay the night on my fucking couch and all I have asked is for you not to call me a girl several times. If you can't at least do something so simple then why would I want anything to do with an annoying brat like you?" I wasn't entirely sure when but by the time I finished I realised I had been shouting at him.
The muffled sobs and sound of my door slamming was all the reply Naruto gave me, it was all that needed to be said. I had fucked up. I had really really fucked up.
"You went too far," came Neko-chan's voice from behind me.
"Fuck off," I growled refusing to look at her. Just because I knew I had fucked up with Naruto didn't mean I was in a better mood or anything, in fact I was in a worse mood.
Maybe I should have looked at her, I'm sure if I did I would have at least noticed the punch coming towards me. Oh well not that I would have dodged anyway. "Grow up," she growled standing over me.
After a few seconds I gently pulled myself to my feet and walked around Neko-chan "I believe I told you to get out," I said dismissively.
"And I told you to grow up, if you won't listen to me then I won't listen to you," she stated stubbornly.
"Whatever," I muttered waving her off. If she wouldn't leave then I would. With that I jumped out of my apartment window and down into the streets of Konoha.
"You're not getting away that easy," Neko-chan taunted from right beside me.
Several Soru later and I did in fact get away.
The streets of Konoha weren't too bad, they were crowded but one look at me and everyone would kindly move out of the way, the few that didn't were roughly shoved out of the way. The buildings weren't too tall and as such you could actually see most of the sky and the beautiful weather. I hated it, there shouldn't be any buildings at all, there shouldn't be any streets. There should be masts blocking the view of the sky and wooden decks beneath my feet. There should also be only nine other people around. I hated it. I hated this shitty village, this shitty country, this shitty world.
"Such an unyouthful lady," a loud booming voice cried our.
Moving as fast as I could I sent a kick to the green monstrosity wearing man. He casually caught my leg with his hand. "There is no need for such unyouthful behaviour," he declared loudly.
I growled out and tried to yank my leg out of Gai's grip only to find it unmoving. "Let go of my leg you bastard," I snarled.
"I apologise madam I did not realise I was still holding your leg," Gai said letting go of it only for him to block a kick from my other leg.
"Please madam stop with this unyouthful behaviour," Gai pleaded, I think he was worried I would hurt myself or something.
Ignoring him I twisted around and sent my free leg straight at his chest while infusing it with haki. I broke through his guard and actually sent him flying back a few feet. Panting slightly I landed gently on my feet and smirked at Gai...oh shit he looked pissed off. "Very well," he growled "if you wish to take on Konoha's Beautiful Green Beast then we shall fight." When did the street clear? "I will teach you the unyouthfulness of your ways." Then he charged forward.
I only barely managed to evade his punch before he hit me with a roundhouse kick and sent me flying into a nearby building. Maybe I should have stayed at home?
Weakly I pulled myself to my feet and saw Gai standing there in a fighting stance, he was watching me warily. You know what forget it, if he wants a fight I'll give him one. Making sure to use my observation haki I focused it completely on him I would not lose to this bastard. I tapped my foot against the ground gently before I charged forward.
One step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
Four steps.
Five steps.
Six steps. I stopped there I didn't need to go faster and it would be enough. Using all of my momentum I swung my leg forward as fast as I could. The fact that it didn't even come within a foot of Gai meant the green beast did not bother to dodge. The thin cut that appeared on his chest changed his mind I assume.
Before he could react I dropped my foot stepped forward and sent a haki infused punch into his abs. He didn't go flying back like when I kicked him but he did double over. I too doubled over clutching my hand to my chest. "Fucking hell are you made out of adamantium or something?" I growled out.
"Such youthful skills for such an unyouthful woman," Gai said completely ignoring me. "I will show you the error of your ways and help you fan the flames of your youth!" With that he sent several punches and kicks at me, all of which I dodged thanks to my haki.
"Gonna have to do better than that," I smirked before I kicked him in the leg.
"Very well it would be unyouthful of me to hold back if you yourself give it your all," Gai declared. Two seconds later he had taken off his weights and Konoha had several new craters in the street.
Then he charged. I knew thanks to my haki that the punch coming was a right straight so I dodged to the side only for him to change the punch to a right roundhouse. I just barely managed to avoid it but the force of the wind sent me stumbling back a bit. Then he came again, punch after punch, kick after kick he sent towards me. I could barely keep up only managing to just evade him with Soru, my natural agility and my observation haki, but I was still sent flying from the wind pressure behind his blows.
After a while he let up on the attacks and I was panting weakly, leaning against a nearby building. "Have you given up on your unyouthful ways?" he asked seriously.
Slowly, calmly I drew my gunblade and flicked it so it was in it's sword form. Gai just sighed before resuming his battle stance.
Side to side, side to side, side to side I swayed over and over again the swaying going faster and wider. When I was ready I rushed forward with a Shakushi. It wasn't fast enough, I knew that Shakushi at it's top speed was the same as my fastest Soru but I wasn't done yet. As I rushed towards Gai I began the ten steps of Soru my speed going exponentially faster and the world around me blurring. I couldn't see anything but blurs of colour, luckily for me there was only one green blur and I aimed for it. Just before I reached it I flipped around so I was parallel to the ground and brought my gunblade swinging down. It wouldn't hit Gain but I wasn't looking to kill him just hit him with a special move of mine. "Lion's Fang," I muttered weakly as I watched the lion shaped burst of air charge Gai. He had no chance of evading it and we both knew it, I had won. Weakly I fell onto the ground exhausted and watched as the lion reached Gai.
"Great Breakthrough!" a voice called out and I watched as my lion was blown apart by gale force strength winds.
Before I could turn to face the newcomer I got a feeling of vertigo as if the world was twisting on it's axis before I found myself on a raft in the ocean. Everywhere around me there was nothing but sea until a ship appeared out of nowhere. It was a ship I knew well, I hadn't spent much time on it but I would recognise the Thousand Sunny anywhere. That beautiful, wonderful ship was burning. The air was filled with screams of horror and pain, everyone on it, my crewmates my family, were begging me for help yet I couldn't do it, I couldn't do anything to help them.
The voice that screamed the loudest was Luffy's "Fairys save us!" he crie... Wait that isn't something Luffy would ever say, he'd say save the others not save us...Fuck Genjutsu...how do they breakout in the manga? Chakra burst which I can't do what else was there?...Fuck I can't remember, what are they doing are they going to attack me? Focusing I stretched out my Observation Haki to feel the people around me. There were three figures two had strong wills and the third completely dwarfed theirs. The third was obviously Gai's so the other two were the newcomers I'll call them One and Two for now.
I couldn't see or hear them but my haki told me that Two was going to try and knock me out. Rolling to the side I evaded the chop to the back of the neck and stood up. It was hard to prepare for a fight when all I could see and hear were my crewmates deaths but I wouldn't give up, I wouldn't lose, they wouldn't want me to. I could either fight or I could run but I couldn't lose. Sadly buildings don't have a will so I couldn't run or I'd just run into every inanimate object in the street, so I would fight.
I could sense One and Two's hesitance, only Gai seemed unaffected by the fact that I could dodge while under a Genjutsu...no he was affected he felt happy? Gai was a tad weird that's for sure.
Before anyone could react I quickly took stock, my legs were strained too much so I couldn't use Soru Shakushi again without putting myself out of the fight completely, they still hadn't fully healed from the fight against Itachi after all. If I did it again I would have to be confident in my win.
As I thought about my situation I noticed that One's will was fading slightly, One felt hopeless, weak and useless. I wonder why? One might be the Genjutsu user and since it appears it's not working then One wouldn't be much use, now that I think about it. Hmmm looks like I got my plan.
Using Soru and ignoring the twinge of pain in my legs I dashed forward towards One only to have Two send a burst of wind at me. Gai himself dashed forward from my side with the intent of punching me. I jumped, flipping over the gust of wind and landing behind Two, I smirked as I felt Gai get blown away, obviously he ran into the wind. Next I used Shakushi to dash forward and around Two towards One again. One was throwing kunai at me but thankfully was unable to hit me. I had almost reached One when I felt Gai appear in front of me, his will was stronger than before. Next thing I knew I felt pain and everything went dark...At least I didn't have to hear my friends screams any more. If I ever met One I would make that person suffer.
