Still Dreaming.

Chapter 6: Attack of the Tailed Beast

Walking back from eating lunch with uncle Jiraiya, I suddenly felt fear. I don't know why but I ran as fast as I could home. Bursting through the door I saw my mom looking up quickly at the sound of my entrance.

"Emiko, are you okay?" She asked me looking worried.

I looked around the living room and let out a breath of air I didn't know I was holding.

I chuckled "Yeah mom I'm fine."

She smiled, "Great"

"Where's dad?" I asked her.

"Oh, he is gonna be late today." resuming to read her book of the moment.

I walked into my room and wondered about the fear I had felt earlier. I shrugged it off and went to check on Naruto.

Naruto was sitting on the floor of his room with a really big book on his lap, flipping through pages.

"Naruto." I whispered.

He looked up excitedly at me, "Emi!"

"Hey Naruto, what are you doing reading that really big book?" I asked, sitting down beside him.

He shrugged his little shoulders and continued flipping through the pages. That's when I noticed that the book was THE Book of Records of the Hokage. In that book every Hokage must write down the important events that happened while they were leaders of the village. Like battles and treaties.

"Naruto, do you mind if I look at that book when your done?" I asked him politely.

He looked up at me, his blond hair touching his eyelashes, he smiled at me a tried to hand over the book but couldn't really lift it with his small arms. I took it from him and said thank you. He quickly got up and kissed me on the cheek.

"I lub you, Emi." His eyes sparkling bright blue.

"I love you too." and with that said he ran out of the room.

Looking back down at the book, I flipped through the pages and saw the writing of the old hokages, which didn't really interest me as much as what my dad wrote. I flipped to the almost back of the book and found my dad's writing.

It had the date of 4 days ago.

Today, the village leaders and I have found the Dragon Princess. She resides in my daughter, Emiko Namikaze. I have always known, but was never sure.
To believe that my daughter has the power to kill a thousand people with a burst of chakra… I want to keep her safe and I know there will be people searching to use her power for bad, but I will never allow her to be used in a war, even if she wanted to. I will keep checking up on her powers,
I feel sorry for her, her adolescence will no longer be one of a regular child but now she will be seen as a weapon. She can no longer train with her friends because of the destructive power she holds…..

He wrote about a whole other page but all I could think about was what kind of destructive power do I hold, that I can't even "play" with my friends any more. I didn't notice the silent tears that were falling down my face.

I closed the book and went into the shower to take a cold bath, they always seem to make me feel better.

When I got out I went into my room and got into bed even though it was still early, but the sun wasn't out anymore. As I got in I heard a mumble from under my covers. I looked under and found Naruto staring up at me.

I sighed, "Naruto, what are you doing in here?"

"Notting." He replied while mumbling a bunch of other words I didn't understand.

"Great, I won't be able to sleep if your in here." I said hearing him telling me about his day in that strange baby language of his. Seriously he is 3 years old he's supposed to at least talk coherently. Mom says every one learns to talk at their own pace, she said I learned to talk at the age of 1.

I looked back down at Naruto and scooped him into my arms, getting out of bed and taking him to the living room. I looked around and saw my mom in the kitchen table reading her book.

"Mom can you please tell Naruto to stay here with you, I really want to sleep but it's going to be impossible with him in there." I asked her letting Naruto fall onto the couch.

She looked up, "He just wants to be with you and you don't look too tired just play with him until he gets tired." She went back to reading.

That's the thing when mom starts reading a book she really likes, she doesn't care about anything around her until her book is done.

Sigh

I looked back down at Naruto and he was staring at me with puppy eyes.

I rolled my eyes, "Fine I'll play with you."

That's when I heard an explosion outside, not too close but it took out the electricity of the house.

When I looked up my mom was already at the window, her eyes wide and her mouth slightly ajar. I quickly got up and what I saw, I wasn't prepared for.

Far away on the out skirts of the village; a monster slashing his tails, causing mountains to erode away, and it was getting closer to the village, it looked like a red fox, too demonic to describe.

That's when I saw hundreds of ninjas running toward the tailed beast. Naruto started crying and my mom snapped out of her haze. She went on full-kunoichi mode. Her eyes sharp, she ordered me to wear clothes I can easily fight in.

I went to my room and took out a pair of black leggings, a blue long sleeve shirt that was tight fitted, and on top of that was my green vest with my team number 0 on the back. I put on my shoes and my belt with my weapons pouch. I tied my hair up in a high pony tail as I walked out of the door.

When I walked into the living room I saw my mom in a similar dress as me, and Naruto sitting on the couch with his legs crossed looking awfully aware of the situation.

"So now what?" I asked mom.

She sighed, "Now… we wait."

"What!" I raised my voice at her not knowing if I was hearing correctly.

She looked at me sharply, "I know it is hard for you to stand back and do nothing but we must wait for orders from your father." She looked away a pained look in her eyes.

I stood there for a second trying to figure my mother out.

"You knew this was going to happen." I stated, seeing her pacing around the room.

She looked up and met my stare, "Yes we knew there was going to be an attack on the village four days ago."

My mind started spinning, "Four days ago.." I whispered.

"Is this because of me?" I asked silently.

She stared at me with wide eyes, and looked away after a moment.

"Absolutely NOT." She stated firmly.

At that moment my father came barging into the room. He looked drained and helpless.

He looked at my mom and nodded his head. My mom's shoulders slumped forward as if she was carrying an invisible burden.

He hugged her and kissed on the lips whispering I Love You to her. She smiled.

I felt like I was in a daze like this wasn't happening. He looked at me and got down on one knee to meet me at eye level.

"Emiko, I love you and take care of yourself."

My eyes widened and my heart clenched, "Dad can't you kill it? Can't you make it go away? And why are you telling me this? You'll see me after the battle right? Right?" I was frantically trying to reassure myself.

His eyes were sad, "This was decided a few days ago, darling and it must be done."

My hands were trembling. I felt like my world was flipped upside down. My father was saying good bye and they expected me to accept it.

"Dad" I whispered, "I have the power to kill it right?"

His eyes widened and his jaw clenched. A look I knew too well meaning he wasn't going to let me.

"Dad! Please let me help!" I yelled.

"No."

And that was the end of it.

Mom had wrapped Naruto in my frog blanket, tears were falling from her eyes, my dad took all of us into a hug and kissed each one of us. Dad took Naruto from my mom and walked out the door.

"NARUTO!" I screamed and tried to run out the door but mom held me back. I saw Naruto's eyes staring back at me over my father's shoulder.

My mom turned me around to look at her, she was trying to hold back tears, "Let's go." She whispered.

We ran through the village, some buildings were on fire, I couldn't move or think all I did was see and hear.

We were heading toward the forest.

As we turned a corner I saw Kakshi, Itachi and Yuuki. They turned to look at me Yuuki's eyes wide. Itachi was holding Yuuki back. Kakashi stared at me and managed a small smile.

I stared at Kakashi, "Keep my promise." I said in a dead tone and with that I disappeared out of their lives.

Damn, I wrote this chapter in 2 days, I'm proud of myself. Anyways, now for the apology: I'm so so so so super sorry … Now for the explanation: My computer got a virus on March and when it got fixed I noticed all my saved documents were deleted! All of them! I had chapters 6, 7, 8 done and chapter 9 halfway done for this story. I also had like 5 stories with chapters that ranged from 3-7 done and I was supposed to start uploading them on June (next month) but I really don't feel like writing right now. So, it's best if I just focus on this story and get it done and then I'll see what I'll do with the other stories.

(For inspiration on the second half of this chapter I listened to Park Bom-Don't Cry... really good song, check it out!)

Please review and tell me what you think.

MuchLuv,

Zellie
