Chaising the white rabbit
It was a foggy afternoon. A girl with beautiful platinum blonde hair, pale white skin, and milky lavender eyes walked across the Hidden Leaf Village
She carried a bouquet of purple flowers as she walked towards Naruto's house. Her name was Shion.
"I can't believe he said yes to having a baby with me! It's been so long I haven't seen Naruto in years! Oh my goodness this night is going to be so passionate! We could have a long talk after I give him the flowers, we both take our time to know each other and then... SPLOOSH!! Heaven!!" Shion blushed, cartoon hearts surrounding her chibi self.
In real life, she was doing a little spin and talking to herself.
Some villagers gave her a bit of a side eye while others didn't seem to care she was talking to herself.
Once Shion made it to Naruto's household she rang the doorbell. Her heart sank right at the opening of that goddamn door.
Naruto was holding a baby boy that looked a lot like him.
For some reason a nagging feeling of 'this is a bad choice' started to emerge in Shion's head.
"Hi! Do you remember me? I'm Shion!"
"Who?" Naruto asked as the baby gurgled. Naruto looked at the bell on her outfit, but that didn't jog any memory.
"Shion! We met when we were fifteen! I predicted you would die in the future but that didn't come true! I wanted to have children to spread my power. These flowers are for you!" She said as she showed him the purple lillies.
Naruto Uzumaki's face went from blank to furious.
"Um... I have no clue who you are, but you sound nuts! I have a kid and a wife! Back off!" Naruto held the baby close.
Before he could close the door, Shion's foot stopped it.
"You helped me defeat Mōryō... Congratulations on the baby, by the way! But none-the-less... W-we can still be friends, right?" Shion teared up.
The blonde hokage looked at the flowers, then at Shion. His baby boy reached out to one, as if approving of her gift. His son was the only thing that convinced him to accept it.
"... I'll take this to at least jog some memory." Naruto said, taking the entire boquet.
Shion blushed, snatching her foot away as he closed the door.
The pale woman stood there in a haze for a few minutes, her face as pink as Sakura's hair. She then haphazardly smiled, glad he at least accepted her gift.
The clouds rolled in as it began to rain. Shion walked back to her little cabin in the woods. She boiled some water, cut up some tree leaves and made some hot tea.
'There's always other men out there who want me, right? I can always keep my power going without being forgotten again or lonely... Right?!' Shion thought, pouring the hot water with a shaky hand.
She hated the fact that he completely forgot about her. She prayed that the flowers would jog his memory, but wondered exactly who he had a kid with and why, but knew that she'd come off as a stalker, watching the family through closed windows.
Shion played mahjong with herself to get her mind off of the situation. Unfortunately, this just made her even more desperate for a friend or a loved one. The blonde changed her clothes, deciding to socialize with people outside. She wasn't exactly the best at starting up conversations, but Shion thought: 'Eh. I could always try.'
Shion walked up to a table where Choji and Shikamaru were eating chips.
"Um... Hello. How are you guys?" Shion asked softly.
Choji stopped eating, his mouth covered in salt and yellow crumbs.
His boyfriend just kept eating.
"I'm good, thank you!" Choji said with his mouth full.
"My name is Shi...shi...." Shion slowly turned bright red.
"Huh? Yeah, miss?" Shikamaru stopped and asked her.
'They're both so handsome! One has a cute beard and the other has a handsome chest! I can't talk like this!' She covered her lavender eyes.
"Shi-what? Are you okay miss? I could just call you "Shi" for short. I'm Choji Akimichi." Choji politely said.
"Nice. I'm... Shion. And who is the man next to you?" The blonde asked, lifting her hands off her face.
"Shikamaru Nara. He's my boyfriend. He doesn't talk much." Choji smiled, pointing at him.
"You can't just TELL people that!!!" Shikamaru blushed bright pink.
"Well how else would I introduce you?!" Choji chuckled.
"I just... I want to make new friends. Would you join me?!" Shion gripped her kimono, but didn't even give the two eye contact.
"Of course. Long as you don't try to kill us in our sleep like the last bitch we met did." Shikamaru said before sipping some water.
"DON'T MENTION THAT! It drives new friends away!" Choji yelled at him with comedically wide eyes.
"What? Just being cautious. I mean this Shion doesn't even look human." Shikamaru mumbled.
"I... I am human. I just have a power with in me, that only people in The Land of Demons and Naruto knows about."
"Wait, did you just say "Naruto"?! Well hop aboard! You're welcome to be our friend if you know our buddy, Naruto!" Choji gave her a hug.
The scene zoomed into her face, then their bodies making contact, lastly Shion's shocked eyes. His hug was warm, inviting, even! Shion hasn't been hugged by anyone for so long! She turned so red that she passed out from the overwhelming emotion of just being touched by a man. A little chibi soul floated out of her.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!?!" The boys dumbly said.
"You wake her up!"
"No, You wake her up!"
"I am not waking her up when we just met her!"
"Should we call a ninja medic, then?!"
"Depends on you!"
As the two men argued, the scene zoomed into Shion's face, fading into her mind.
She was in her casual clothes. The forest in front of her house was full of green leaves with brown and white treetrunks. A white rabbit with no eyes jumped in front of her.
"Aww... aren't you the cutest thing?" Shion smiled.
She was about to pet the rabbit, when suddenly in a soft masculine voice, it said "My bride..."
"Diiiiiid you just talk?!" Shion asked.
"My bride..." The rabbit took off into the forrest.
"What bride?!" Shion ran past the brown and white trees, following the white rabbit.
As she ran, the trees twisted into a brown and white checkerboard pattern. The grass became a loop of brown and green stripes as the sun and sky faded away. It faded into black and white, looking like she was chaising the rabbit through an optical illusions painting.
"Please stop! What bride?!" Shion's words echoed. The landscape suddenly spiraled into a cylinder that pointed downward into a hole. The rabbit fell along with Shion. She screeched in fear. After what seemed like forever, she landed on the moon. The rabbit ran into a little castle.
She wiped the dust off of her clothes and hair. Shion glanced at her limbs, surprised she was able to breathe in space!
She then ran after the rabbit, only for everything to suddenly go pitch black!
"Save me..." The same male voice whispered.
She saw a creepy pale man in a white kimono, white hair, chains, and with no eyes inside of a cage. He reached out to her, black goo dripping from his sockets. Shion tried to scream but nothing came out! A bunch of milky Byakugan eyeballs spilled from her mouth until they covered her entire body! The hand still reaching out to her was also engulfed in these eyeballs until there was nothing but white goo!
Shion woke up screaming and flailing in a hospital bed.
"SHION! SHION! Please calm down! You're gonna be alright! It's okay!" A pink haired woman in a red dress said as she held the woman's hand.
Shion panted. Her wounds were healed by the pink haired ninja.
"Choji and Shikamaru took you here, saying you fainted. You had a few scratches from the fall, but that's all healed up." The woman explained.
"Do you... Did you see a white rabbit?" Shion spoke horsly, as if the scream took everything out of her.
"A white rabbit? I don't remember seeing rabbits of all animals in this village. Just white geese and chicken at most." The woman scratched the back of her head.
"It was just a nightmare, I guess."
"A nightmare about a white rabbit?"
"It's a bit more complicated than that, but I need to get home. Do you know where the exit is? Miss um..."
"Sakura. Sakura Uchiha. I think we met years ago." Sakura shook her hand. Shion shook back, glad she was able to meet another person.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Uchiha." She smiled.
"Follow me, the exit is this way!" Sakura got up along with Shion. They both walked out of the hospital.
"Help me..." The masculine voice whispered in Shion's head once more, but she tried to ignore it.
The two girls went outside to eat some udon. They relaxed and talked about how funny Choji and Shikamaru acted around her. Shion tried to avoid talking about the nightmare as much as possible.
That night, Shion refused to go to sleep. She lit a bunch of candles around her house to relax. She heard a faint scream come from outside.
"Shoot! That sounds like Sakura!" Shion whispered. She got up and opened the door, carrying a lantern. The blonde priestess tiptoed across the grass. She saw some shadows in the distance. She got out her mystical bell to protect Sakura from furter harm.
Shion used her Byakugan eyes to zoom in on them. They appeared to be a bunch of men heading north, lead by a black haired man in a black kimono. Sakura was tied up in chakura ropes being carried by said men.
"Right!" Shion went after the group, her hair flowing in the wind. She didn't have any exact ninja skills, but she was able to catch up to the men thanks to her running abilities.
"What?! Who are you?!" Once of the ninjas yelled.
"Ignore her and keep going. I've got this." The handsome raven haired leader calmly said.
There was a puff of smoke, and he went in front of the pale woman. He tossed kunai at Shion, only for her to dodge them.
Shion lept at Sakura only to get stabbed in the chest with a kunai.
Sakura's eyes widened as blood sprayed onto the ground.
"Sasuke stop!!" She said to the man. "I know we're no longer married, but we can still settle this peacefully!" The ninjas sealed her mouth shut.
Shion panted heavily. She got up, removed the kunai, and rang the bell as Sasuke went after his ex.
A purple laser was blasted right out of the bell. Sasuke dodged the blast, Sakura's ropes exploded, hurting her and the ninjas. Sakura was free, but fell onto the ground.
"I'M SO SORRY!" Shion panicked. She went after Sakura, only for Sasuke to get in the way.
"I'm not going to allow you to take her away from me." Sasuke said with a glare.
"I don't want to fight!" The bell made a protective purple bubble around her.
Sasuke broke the barrier with his Rinnegan. He grabbed and choked her with a cold, angry, bloodshot stare.
He then punched her like a training dummy while choking her. Things began to get blurry as she saw an image of a red moon. She struggled to breathe in through her mouth as crimison blood filled it. He almost used his Sharingan when suddenly Sakura got up, running. She kicked and punched the five ninjas that got in her way. After that, she ran up and kicked Sasuke in the balls, causing him to scream and drop Shion. She fell to to ground, coughing up blood.
Sakura then pulled Sasuke's raven black hair, trying her hardest not to look directly at his Sharingan. She shouted: "Quick, Shion! Run as fast as you can! Warn the villagers! AGH!" Sasuke reached behind himself and pushed her back.
Shion passed the bell to them, then ran the opposite direction. She hated to run, but was positive that Sakura had more fighting experience than her. Just feeling those harsh blows alone tired her out, so she couldn't even run that fast.
