OF WOLVES AND ROSES:
CHAPTER FIVE: Mission: Delivery to Sunakagure.



Senra walked down the long corridors of the Tanzaku Town mall with Shenyo at his left, and Kato a few steps to his right. Looking around Senra noticed that there were a lot of Senra’s colleges at the mall today. He also seemed to notice that a certain female ninja was getting a lot of glances from Shenyo. “You know,” Senra whispered to him, startling him. “If you want to get close to Nita Hyuga, wouldn’t it be helpful for you to… oh, I don’t know, talk to her?” Senra asked giving him a good shove into the music store that Nita was in.
“Hey, do you guys have the new Mindless Self…” Nita began, thinking Shenyo was one of the people working at the store. “Oh hey, vampy.” Shenyo winced. He hated that nickname. “Oh, yeah… Sorry Shenyo…” She said with a bit of a blush.
“She’s had her eyes on him for a while.” Kato said as he and Senra walked past the store and kept walking, the sounds of Shenyo and Nita’s conversation fading quickly.
“So, Kato Iscariot, why did you cast off your last name? It hurts me to lie to my comrades you know…” Senra said, thinking back on the previous nights events.
Kato looked away. “You should read The Bible some time. ‘And said unto them, what will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.’ I don’t want to be seen as the relative of Judas Iscariot, betrayer of Jesus. Sure I’m not Christian, but I don’t need people looking at me funny.” Kato said with a sigh.
“Hate to rain on your boo-hoo religion parade, but most of the village is either atheist or Buddhist.” Senra said shaking his head and walking away.
“…” Kato stood there with an annoyed expression on his face. “Hey, if you understood what it meant to have an ancestor who did something so horrible that…”
“Shin “The Crazed Fox” Yuiy, murdered 7,523 people with the power of the dragon techniques. He was my great, great, great grandfather.” Senra turned and glared at Kato. “He’s the reason the techniques I use are forgotten and forbidden. But I’m going to achieve what he couldn’t. I will tame the dragon inside of me.” Senra said as he turned on his heels and walked away. ‘Because without the dragon’s power, my techniques are nothing special…’
“….Senra…” Kato tried to form words but all he could do was stand there.
“Wow, he must have given you some tongue lashing for you to not only be speechless but also stunned….” Ai Yuiy said as she walked up beside Kato, her white sun-dress flowing gently in the breeze provided by a nearby standing-fan. “Come on, I’ll treat you to lunch.” She said pulling on his arm. When he wouldn’t move she made a sour look at him. “Fine be that way Kato Yuiy!” She said with an indignant look.
“Iscariot.” Kato muttered.
“Come again?” Ai said, her look of indignation becoming one of confusion.
“My last name… its Iscariot. I was born and abandoned with it.” Kato said without any hint of any form of emotion in his voice.
“… Hmmm… Cool name, doesn’t really match Kato though.” She said grabbing his arm again and pulling.
“That name doesn’t mean anything to you?”
“Nope. Should it?” She said pulling the bewildered Kato to the nearest food stall.
‘Maybe Senra was right…?’ Kato thought to himself as he allowed himself to be pulled along.
//To Shenyo.
“So... I have to know…” Nita began. “Are you really… you know…?”
“A vampire?” Shenyo offered, arching an eyebrow over his mug of coffee. Nita nodded, trying to hide her anticipation. “Yes, I am. I’m one of the highest class of vampires, the Nosferatu blood emperors.”
“Cool… So does that affect the jutsu you use in battle, you know like a blood line limit?” She asked intrigued. ‘He seriously believes that?’ She thought to himself. ‘Well… maybe he’ll grow out of it…’
Shenyo just shrugged. “It has its advantages. Like for instance, my physical prowess and strength are well beyond that of a normal human being.”
“Do you have the… you know…?” Nita asked making a fang gesture with her index fingers.
Shenyo couldn’t help but laugh at her impersonation of a vampire. “The fangs? Yeah, I have them.” Shenyo said as he pulled back his lips and lengthened his fangs. “Thee?” He asked with a slight lisp, due to him holding his lips open.
Nita giggled slightly at him. “You’re really funny, you know that?” She asked, causing Shenyo to blush. “How come you don’t talk all that much?”
Shenyo looked into his cup. “You know, my big brother always told me I was like a small puppy that had been kicked to many times and some how got lost with a bunch of strangers. He was always good to me, but one day, he just completely disappeared. It was on the anniversary of my mother’s death too, so that made it that much worse. And for a while I refused to talk to any one at all, I would give only short answers to the Sensei and I had given up all trust of the world, I still don’t trust any one other than you, Senra-sama, and Kato-kun. Then one day I met Senra-sama. I walked past and he waved, this was before he became as cold as he is now, when I didn’t wave back he said to me, ‘you know Shenyo Matsura?’ I couldn’t help but turn when I heard that, and what he said to me still surprises me. ‘You’re like an abused puppy in a crowd of strangers.’ I stood there for a minute and when he turned to walk away I finally managed to choke out, hey, how are you, Senra-Sama?” Shenyo shook his head. “But Kato is another story.”
“Wow… that’s touching… But I have to ask, what did Kato do?” Nita asked, her now melting milkshake sitting forgotten on the table.
Shenyo smiled. “He fed me.” Shenyo’s face took on a confused look. “Well, maybe that’s not the best explanation. Well I was eating at Ichiraku ramen shop one day and as I was leaving we almost ran into me, I saw a flash in his eyes and he smiled at me and said something that I thought kind of strange, ‘Shenyo Matsura, how do you keep your true self hidden?’ I looked at him for a while, and then I realized what he meant. He had figured out my secret. I was scared, so needless to say I ran. And a few days later I was running dry and as I stumbled blindly through an alley I tripped over a sleeping bum and he decided he was gunna mug me for it. I was in no shape to fight him and I noticed a shape further down the alley coming, I thought to help my attacker. But, as it turned out, Kato had been sleeping in the alley, and he came to my rescue. After beating the bum to a bloody pulp he slashed his palm and poured some of his blood into my mouth. He picked me up and took me home. Then he said something I’ll always look back on and laugh at, ‘you owe me one, so now I live with you, deal with it.’ So far, it hasn’t been so bad…” Shenyo said smiling. “But enough about me, what makes you tick Nita?”
Nita smiled and shrugged. “I wasn’t aware I was ticking, must be time for an oil change…” She laughed at Shenyo’s surprised look. “I’m kidding. Well, I’m an outcast Hyuga. They tried to place a curse seal on me and… lets just say my chakra flared violently and took the arm off of one of the Hyuga elders. Rather than try to kill me, they threw me into the adoption homes, where me and Kato became friends. He talks about you, ya know?”
“Really?” Shenyo asked.
“Yeah, he say’s you’re a great ninja and that he’s really sorry about the nickname.” Nita said laughing.
“He did?”
“Yeah, but then he laughed and said that you can’t cook.”
Shenyo blinked. “WHAT!?” He asked standing up so fast he dropped the chair.
“Calm down! Oh, Jesus, look at the time. Hey, Shenyo, did you hear about the dance in two weeks? If you’re not busy maybe you’d like to go?” Nita asked blushing and looking at her feet.
“U-um… Y-yeah, err… I mean Yes, I would… I’d love to go… with you, that is….” Shenyo said stuttering and blushing.
“Umm... ok so I’ll see you then?” She asked, a look of hopefulness appearing behind her blush.
“Y-yeah…” Shenyo stuttered.
//30 Minutes later: back at Shenyo’s house.
“Yes!” Shenyo said, literally jumping for joy. “YES! YES!! YES!!!” The calamity that he raised caused Kato to sit up on the couch, where he was slowly getting drunk and watching old kung fu movies.
“Good for you, I have a date as well.” Kato said throwing Shenyo a beer, imported from Ireland (Legally of course…).
“Really? There’s actually a girl that likes you?” Shenyo asked laughing.
“I know where you sleep.” Kato said from his position on the couch. Shenyo laughed even harder as he got the mental picture of Kato dressed as Dracula, leaning over Shenyo’s bed with a kunai. “You imagined it again, didn’t you?!” Kato asked throwing the bottle opener at Shenyo, who caught it and used it to open his beer.
“Thanks.” He said as he threw it back. “So who is this lucky lady? Is she blind?”
“It’s Ai. And no, she’s not.” Kato said putting in Shoalin Temple.
Shenyo walked to the kitchen, got himself some food then walked back. “What are you watching?” Kato sighed and pointed at the T.V. screen where the title was sitting on the screen in big bold golden letters. “Oh, Shoalin Temple, that movie was the shit! All the chicks were suicidal though…” He said as he flipped over the back of the couch and landed where Kato’s feet had been but a second earlier.
“Fuck! How about some warning next time you ass hole?!” Kato swore, as he kicked Shenyo off the couch.
“Hahahaha!” Shenyo laughed yet again, as he rolled on the floor clutching his ribs.
“Christ… you really are in a good mood today aren’t you?”
//Senra’s house.
Senra sighed as he plucked a bottle of water from the fridge and sat on his couch. The shorts he was wearing made him feel kind of like Heero, from Gundam wing. They really made Senra realize why he was so moody, they didn’t have much room in them. And Senra’s white wife-beater was sticking to his back and chest from all the sweat. Senra sighed again and wiped the back of his neck with the towel that was resting on his shoulders. ‘Why can’t I be normal like everyone else?’ He thought to himself as he looked at the demolished training room. Every bag had a hole in it and every wall was cracked. And Sanshimora was standing in the doorway, no doubt waiting to rain on Senra’s day off. “What the hell do you want?” Senra said glaring at the sensei.
“Hmph, sadly, that’s the most respect I’ve ever gotten out of you.” Sanshimora said with a shake of his head.
“You’re welcome, now get to the damned point, you know how I feel about you, hell, speaking to you is even a waste of air.” Senra said as he began pounding one of the bags for fun.
“Well, we’ve got a mission. At 2 am tomorrow, you and your team will head to Suna, and deliver a message to the Kazekage.” Sanshimora replied. “I won’t be coming, so you’re in charge. This was supposed to be my mission but I’m giving it to you guys as training for the upcoming chūnin exams, which I have you guys enrolled in.”
Senra waved a hand dismissively over his shoulder. “Okay, thanks, no get lost, you’re ruining my day off.” Senra said punching a 4 inch deep hole into one of the punching bags.
“Oh, and have you heard about the ball they’re having in honor of you genin? Usually they wait till after you guys go through the exam, but since the exams are in Kiri, they are having it in two weeks, 2 days before the exams. I advise you to go it’ll be the last break you get for quite a while.” Sanshimora said as he walked out of the training gym. “So rest up, tomorrow will be a big day.”
Chapter Five /END/
A/N: Okay, I'm sure I confused one or two of the people who looked at my story. I'm a dumbass, Sue me. I accidentally skipped chapter two, so I fixed that today. Also if any one would like to draw anyone of my characters, I'd love that.
Thanks for your attention.
