Hello everyone Hello everyone! You'll probably all be confused about this and thinking why upload the same story again? But there were lots of grammar mistakes and the story just looked awful. That's why I deleted the story and I'm starting to upload it again. A new chapter will be posted soon tough.
Chapter 1 The four fighters of the urce.
Twelve years ago, when the darkness started to rise, a whole clan was wiped out by a mysterious monster. The monster went back into his hole and absorbed the power it sucked out of the bodies of the killed clan. Now, his greatest enemy, the Uchiha family, was wiped out, he was strong enough to built up an army. Ever since then, he made his army more and more powerful, and the priests of the Hidden and Forbidden Gods had tried to defend themselves against the dark powers of the monster. The firm battle between priests, who often got help from the kings around the country, and the servants of the monster, became a true war. Without any chance for the good to win. But, there was some hope left. Some whispers from the North, some rumours. They said that there was the chosen one, the only one of the Uchiha clan who had survived. The last Uchiha alive."
Sasuke woke up because of a sudden powerful tension in the air. Was it.. magic? Or an enemy?
Then, the bushes started rustling and before Sasuke knew it two figures jumped out of the bushes, both growling on a dangerous and threatening way. One of them was human, the other was a dog. A very big dog. A huge dog.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?!" The human figure grumbled.
Sasuke noticed that the figure had red tattoos on his cheeks. His eyes were slightly dog like too.
"What do YOU want?" Sasuke said and pulled his sword.
The human being took a leap backwards, showing his teeth. He was standing firmly on the ground on his arms and legs, like an animal.
"Tell me your name. Or face the consequences. I'm a true fighter of the Urce, so I won't stand back!" The dog howled, like he wanted to take part in the conversation too.
Sasuke put away his sword. He himself was a fighter of the Urce.
"Well then that's good news. You have nothing to fear from me, since I am a fighter of the Urce too. I'm Sasuke." Sasuke said and looked the human in the eyes.
The other stared back, frowning. He didn't trust the stranger, you could see it clearly in his eyes.
"Show me your sign." The human, or better said, human beast, growled.
His dog took a threatening step forwards, showing his teeth, like the human beast had done before.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. He too had some reasonable doubt about the other and he would not lower his guard.
"I will show you, but I expect the same from you." He said and grabbed his collar with one hand.
The eyes of the being flickered again, but he stayed silent, looking at Sasuke with distrustful eyes. He nodded and fixed his eyes on Sasuke's collar.
Sasuke slowly pulled down his collar, revealing his sign of being a true fighter of the Urce on the right side of his neck.
"Now show me yours." He said and kept looking the human in the eyes.
This being done, the other slowly raised himself so he was standing on his feet. He looked like a real human now he was standing on his feet. He grabbed his shirt and pulled it slightly up, showing the sign of the Urce, which was tattooed right beside his navel.
"I'm Kiba." The other said, with a ragged voice. It was like he didn't spoke a lot lately.
Sasuke let go of his collar. The other truly was of the Urce.
"Kiba hm. So what brings you to the forest?" Sasuke asked. He hadn't seen anyone of the Urce in the forest up till now. Nobody travelled on their own ever since the monster came.
Kiba was silent for a bit, but then he spoke up:
"I wanted to travel to the south. I hope to find some teachers there, who will teach me the magic of talking to all kind of animals and the secret behind brute strength. What about you?" Kiba leaned back against the bark of a tree, looking a bit more comfortable."
As Sasuke noticed Kiba being more comfortable, he too started to relax.
"I'm trying to find a tutor too. I need to learn magic to get to my goal. So you might say I'm heading south too." Sasuke answered.
Kiba nodded.
"Alright, then I'd say, let's travel together. These forests are dangerous to travel through alone. I have Akamaru, my fighting dog, but he too is afraid of the powers of the dark Lord, the monster."
Sasuke returned the nod.
"It would come in handy to have some support in battle. I agree." And with that, Sasuke already started walking. He had never waited on anyone and wasn't about to start.
Kiba brought up an eyebrow, but started to follow the strange guy, with Akamaru following him. Then he picked up a new smell. And another one.
"There are more in these forests. I can smell them." He growled, looking around.
Sasuke just kept walking as he started looking around.
"Can you smell how near they are?" Sasuke asked after a while.
Kiba nodded.
"Yes. They are near. One of them more then the other. There are two of them." Kiba said, still looking around. He could smell them. Because he was part dog, he could smell everyone. That's why he had been able to sneak up to Sasuke like he'd done.
Sasuke suddenly stopped and pulled his sword.
"If they're near, then prepare for battle. How close are they?" Sasuke found it came in quite handy to have someone like Kiba near. Any man who would try to sneak up on them, would fail.
Kiba nodded, making fists of his hands.
"One is near. Very near. Here." With that he gave a huge battle like shout and he jumped into the bushes, an returned with a struggling boy in his hand. Yes, hand. He held up the boy, well, man, at his collar.
The boy, to everyone's surprise, stopped struggling almost immediately as he saw Sasuke. He sighed.
"I take it there's no escape?" The boy said and gave out another sigh.
Kiba immediately let go of the guy after hearing this. He grumbled a bit and then pulled up the boy's sleeve. The sign of the Urce got able to see.
"It's safe. He's one of us." He grumbled and looked at Sasuke, while Akamaru started snuffling the boy's face.
Sasuke just looked at the two and then to the rest of the forest. There were still others.
"The rest in this forest aren't of us. I've been hiding from them since yesterday. You should go." The boy said as he ran a hand over Akamaru's head.
"Who are they?" Kiba asked, while he looked at the guy, still a bit distrusting. Akamaru had a nice time while his head was patted by the stranger.
"Ey yo if you guys are looking for me, I'm right over there."
Everyone looked up, after having heard that strange voice, a demanding female voice.
It came from the trees, and when they looked there, they saw a strange woman standing there, with four ponytails, blue eyes and a very arrogant glance in her eyes. But, they all had to admit silently, she looked strong.
"I'm Temari, from the Urce. I already heard those two are too, so what's with you?" She demanded, looking at the strange boy. She leaped down and landed on one leg and one knee. She stood up, rough and at the same time gracefully, looking the strange boy in the eyes.
Sasuke suddenly pointed his sword at the girl. He did not trust her before he had seen the sign of the Urce.
"Show us. Show us that you are of the Urce." He said demanding.
When he said that, the girl got a huge smirk on her face.
"Are you sure you want to see it? Because it's right 'here'." With that she pointed at a place, just above her left breast. She looked at Sasuke with a daring look in her eyes, as if she was daring him to look at it. Kiba got a smirk on his face.
"I believe her. It's on her weapon." He pointed at the fan on her back, where the sign of the Urce was printed on.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes at the girl. Even if she was of the Urce, he did not like her one bit.
"Fine. But if you appear not to be, you're dead." He snarled at her.
"Didn't I tell you all to leave?" The strange boy said, still patting Akamaru's head. He himself didn't look as if he was in a hurry.
Kiba looked at him.
"Who are you anyway?" He asked the strange boy. Temari smirked to Sasuke in the mean time.
"Hot." She said. "I'm going to travel with you, if you like it or not." She still smirked.
Kiba got a bit annoyed by her attitude, but decided to not say anything.
Sasuke's head snapped towards the girl.
"You are not traveling with us. I don't need a girl holding me back." He growled at her. There was no way 'she' was going to travel with him. He considered himself a loner and Kiba was already invading his space.
The strange boy looked at the rest.
"I'm Shikamaru. Now do as I say and leave, they can be here any time now. If you want to find yourselves dead then don't listen to me, but I'm warning you." He said as he got a more serious look on his face.
Temari looked slightly offended.
"Girls are a lot better then boys you know. But we'll see. Let's just go. Lazy boy has to come too. And you, smart boy, Shikamaru, whatever, are coming with us too." She said. Kiba looked at her silently. Akamaru walked up to her and licked her hand, that meant something. Kiba nodded. "We need to trust her." He said.
Sasuke put his sword away and nodded. "For just this once I will trust you. Let's go." He said and started to run away.
The others nodded and started to follow him, Temari sighed at Shikamaru and lifted him up in the air, letting him sit on her back while she moved her fang in the wind and jumped on it. Like in a dream, she started to fly. Kiba looked at it with open mouth when they caught up with him and Sasuke.
"The hell do you think you're doing? I can run." Shikamaru said, slightly annoyed. He held onto her as tight as he could. On the other hand, it would be a lot easier to just let her do all the work.
Temari grumbled something which sounded like 'shut up' to him. Kiba looked to the sky, worried.
"Perhaps we should quickly search a place to stay." He said. "It's getting dark."
Sasuke just kept running. He did not like having so many persons to look after. He'd rather just do it all on his own.
"You sleep in the forest Kiba. There's nothing else here." He snarled annoyed.
"That's not true." Kiba said. "There are much more people.. well.. humans.. in this forest."
Temari looked at them, thinking, but looking around a bit too, and then focussed on Sasuke and Kiba again.
"Well then we have to fight. It's what us fighters do." Sasuke said, not moving his eyes to any of the others. "And there is nothing here to sleep beside the forest itself."
"On the contrary. I think I see a temple right there." Shikamaru said and pointed to something in front of them. It was easier for him to see now that he was higher.
"It is a temple." Temari said. "We could easily go there. The priests are always nice, no matter where you go."
She was looking at the building too, while Kiba sniffed it.
"Indeed, it's a temple. No enemies there. It would be wise to go there." He said. He looked at Sasuke, while Akamaru barked happily.
Sasuke gave a low growl. He had never gone to temples, but as for now, it was safest to do so with all the whimps he had with him.
"Fine." He said annoyed. "But just for the night. And after that you guys go further without us." He looked at Temari and Shikamaru with narrowed eyes.
"We will see, we will see." Temari said, grinning a bit. "But now, the temple it will be. Let's hurry." She quickened her tempo with that immediately. Kiba nodded and started to go faster too.
Sasuke just gave another growl and he too speeded up, towards the temple. They had to see if they'd find rest.
A/N: Well, that was chapter one. I'm going to upload a few more now.
