Kunoichi Syndrome: Origins
Chapter 8 Snatched up Sempai (Upperclassmen)

I get a call from my sempai, Britney.
“Ashley, Tasukatte kudasai! (Please help me!)” Sempai immediately screams.
“Hai. (Yes.)” I answer.
“Arigato. (Thank you).” Sempai hangs up.
“Ashley, don’t respond to that.” Itachi warns.
“I don’t care if it’s a trap. Bite me.” I snap. “Sempai is Sempai.”
“Crap you got me on this one.” Itachi sighs.
When Itachi and I get to Sempai’s house, she is tied up to her own computer chair. Sempai manages to indicate a genjutsu snare trap, located by our feet. Sempai’s cats were walking around just fine, unaffected by the snare trap.
“s**t.” Itachi curses. “No way can we get through to your sempai, Ashuri-san.”
“Shut it, Itachi-san.” I say physically. <There is a way to get through. Become an animal, a pet.> “Ne, Mi, Uma, Saru, Tatsu, Tora! Katon: Neko no Jutsu! (Rat, Snake, Horse, Monkey, Dragon, Tiger! Fire Style: Cat Jutsu!)” I shout.
I transform into a fiery colored abbisynian cat. I disarm the genjutsu snare trap. A redheaded girl with glasses and a girl’s dojo gi (martial arts school uniform) appears.
“Kami (God) damn it, Sasuke-kun’s going to be pissed.” She swears under her breath.
Itachi slinks over to my side unnoticed. He frees Sempai before the redhead turns around. The redhead turns around and looks at Sempai warily.
“Hey b***h, what do you think of this Ashley chick?” The redhead asks.
“That’s b***h-sempai to you, Karin. As far as info on Ashley, I’ve got nothing for you.” Sempai snaps. “I prefer to let Ashley speak for herself.”
I attack the red head Karin on cue. Itachi bails Sempai out of danger. I meet up with Itachi victorious. By now, I am back to my original form. Sempai’s house is still clean and intact. Thank goodness.
“Since you and your ‘hot boyfriend’ saved my life, is there anything I can get for you, Ashley?” Sempai asks.
“Sempai, let’s get one thing straight. ‘Hot boyfriend’ is not my boyfriend, he is a friend. His name is Itachi Uchiha.” I say bluntly.
“Ok.” Sempai hisses.
“Sempai, we’re hungry. Can you make some beef yakiniku?” I ask nicely.
We head downstairs, still at Sempai’s house. Dei-chan sneaks in through the back door, preparing the ingredients for the beef yakiniku. Sempai cooks for everyone. Amusing antics and a full belly later, I crash on her couch in the living room. Sempai’s cats curl up with me. Itachi dutifully comes to my side, watching over me. He grabs a spare pillow and blanket, crashing on the floor. Dei-chan tries moving Itachi but fails. The day ends on a peaceful note.
