Fire style: Burning Love Jutsu

Chapter 15: What have you done?

"Now that he's out of the way, temporarily, let me introduce my teammates and some of the best people I've had the pleasure of knowing." Azamuku said, walking to us. "Big brother? This is Sakura. She's absolutely brilliant in the intelligence department. Very strong too. Some of the finest I've seen in this village." She said, as she rested a hand on Sakura's shoulder.

"Over there, jabbing your brother in the face with a stick is Naruto. He's loud, obnoxious, and down right annoying at times. But he's got a heart of gold and he dreams big. This here is Kakashi. Our sensei. Eh. Don't know much about him except he loves being late for meetings. He's cool though. Wouldn't trade him for any other sensei alive." She said before walking to me. 

"And this?" She said, standing at my side. "Is my pride and joy and the one thing that keeps me sane... enough." She said, slipping her hand into mine. "Sasuke Uchiha..." I introduced, watching as Gaara walked over to me. I shuddered and wanted to shrink back in fear. 

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sasuke. Let me make this clear. Other siblings will beat you and play with you. Me?" He paused. "If you hurt her, I will kill you." He said his voice dripping with venom. "Sasuke's a good guy, Gaara. Ease up. Besides. I'd kill him first. And although he's of Uchiha blood.... Much like Kankuro... He shouldn't underestimate my abilities." She said with a grin.

I sighed heavily knowing that I'd live given my intentions for her. "Speaking of Kankuro. Hey! You alright over there?" Temari called. Silence fell as we waited for a response. "He looked alright when I was poking him. I think he's fine." Naruto said, from next to Kakashi. "I'll go check on him. Make sure he didn't wish his own death before we even got to the exam site." She said walking to where he had been thrown. 

"Azamuku. Did you really mean that?" I asked, blushing a bit. "I meant every word." She said, smiling at me. "He's gone." Temari said, casually as she walked back over. Azamuku gave a heavy sigh and walked a short distance then stood there. "What is she doing?" Naruto asked. "I don't know." Sakura replied. "Why are you idiots whispering." I asked. 

Azamuku looked around for a second then walked into the trees. "She's not doing what I think she's doing, is she?" Temari asked Gaara. "I think so." He told her. "Oh boy..." Temari said. "He has it coming. Maybe he'll stop fooling around when he gets his dues." She continued. "What's going on!?" Naruto asked, eager. "Just watch." Temari said, waving her hand at him. 

Silence fell and a few seconds later she was launched from the tree tops and into the sky. "Come out, brother. I wanna play!" She said, hurling kunai in all directions into the trees. "You have till the count of 3." She said. "She's gonna kill him..." Temari whined. "No. She knows her strengths." I said, watching. "You think that's gonna work on me?" Kankuro's voice called. 

"No. But this will." She said, forming hand signs. "That's not part of it! What is she doing!?" Temari shouted. My eyes lit up with delight as I watched and mouthed the words as she shouted. "Fire style! Phoenix flower jutsu!" She shouted. A rain of fire fell upon the forest.

"What are you doing!? You're gonna catch the entire forest on fire!" Sakura screamed. Kankuro came running out of the tree line, patting at flames on his clothing. "There you are." Azamuku said. She folded her hands and came down, slamming her hands against his shoulder. "Stay down!" She said. Standing over a screaming Kankuro. "That was flashy and all but what about the fi-" Naruto said. 

She had cut him off by raising 3 fingers, counting down to one. When she hit "one" explosions of water erupted from the trees, extinguishing any flames she created. "You broke my shoulder, brat!" Kankuro screamed at her. "Have you learned your lesson?" She asked, placing a foot to his dislocated shoulder. "Lesson for what! I didn't do a thing!" He hissed as she pressed down. "Yes you did. You spoke of her mother. Then proceeded to insult and laugh." Temari said. 

"So what!?" Kankuro yelled. Azamuku pushed on his shoulder causing him to scream in pain. "If you would have paid attention when letters were sent to us, you'd have heard me read hers." Temari said, wincing at his pain. "WELL I DIDN'T! WHY SHOULD I HAVE!" Kankuro said, screaming as Azamuku pressed down more with her foot. "Her parents are dead. Mother was killed off in front of her." Gaara said in a cool, dead tone.

The silence that followed was deafening. "Muku...." Kankuro began. "I'm so sorry." He said. Her head hung down, and tears snaked their way down her cheeks and to the ground. She lifted her foot from his shoulder and jumped into a nearby tree, taking off. Crying isn't a weakness... Please don't run. I shot a glare at Kankuro and jerked him to is feet by his shoulder. "Ah! You twerp! Watch what you're doing! I already have to go to a hospital!" He spat. 

"Shut up. It's just dislocated." I said with a hard glare. I punched his shoulder as hard as possible, relocating it. "Azamuku!" I called out in the direction she ran. "Nice going." Temari spat. Without a word, Gaara was already on his way to find her with me in tow. Stupid, stupid, stupid! And I thought Naruto was a dunce! Where did she go?
