Unsuspected Ability

“Oh for the love of Kami-sama!” Michael screamed as he collapsed to the floor in a heap. All over his limbs, and now on his forehead, there were red marks signifying the entry of chakra into his body. A little girl, no older than seven, shrieked and ran from the scene. A tall, slim woman of thirty-seven years of age walked into the room and picked up the boy. “Oh, Mikey-kun,” she said, “What have you done to yourself now?” Her dark hazel-green eyes studied the small red spot on his forehead, and concluded that the chakra point in his head had been temporarily shut down by even more chakra. Strange…..only Juken does something like this. Even stranger, this particular point can only be shut down by an absolutely precise amount of chakra, which he is nowhere near being able to perform. If Mikey-kun didn’t do this, than who did?

A young seven year old girl named Heather ran up to her room, panting furiously. What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?! That was only supposed to be a harmless spar with Nii-san, right? Thank G-d Mommy didn’t find out…..but wait! Her Byakugan! Or even her Sharingan! Or even her Nesis-epathy could retrace what happened! I have to hide! I’m gonna be in SOOOO much trouble! Heather thought back to when she had seen her father perform a type of transportation jutsu. Once she remembered, she performed a few quick hand signs. And in a POOF! of blue chakra, Heather LaBelle was gone.

(Horse, tiger, boar, hare, rat, dog, horse, dog, tiger, rat, boar, dog) “Byakugan!” Hannah LaBelle whispered as she looked over the body her son, Michael, with the x-ray vision provided by the Hyuuga kekkei genkai she possessed. Her eyes lingered on the still red spot on Michael’s forehead. Yup, that’s definitely the signs of Juken. But who did it? Maybe I could try tapping into his memory with Nesis-epathy…Hannah deactivated her Byakugan and formed the hand sign for her the bloodline limit of her own clan, the Potter clan. Her pupils minimized, and her eyes changed in color from dark hazel-green to a light, almost neon blue-green. When she tried to enter into his mind, her mental being was knocked out of Michael’s head and her Nesis-epathy turned off. I wonder… ”Byakugan!” Hannah said again, sounding a bit more curious than before. Once again, her eyes purposely lingered on his forehead. Why does it seem like nothing has changed? She focused the chakra in her eyes even harder, and saw something that greatly surprised her. What the hell! A chakra shield?! The chakra that was forced into the body has risen itself from the chakra point and secured itself around the brain to stop me from reading it!

From the basement, Heather was silently saying: Please don’t let Mom find out. Please don’t let Mom find out. Please don’t let Mom find out. Little did she know that she had just manipulated the chakra she had forced into Michael’s head to form a protective shield around his brain.

Hannah got up from the seat she was sitting in next to her son’s bed and went to her room to get her new copy of Witch Weekly. While she was gone, Michael suddenly woke up. About a moment later, eight-year-old Cecilia LaBelle walked into the room, smirking. “Hey sleeping beauty! You’re awake! Mom told me someone sealed the chakra point in your head, and I just wanted to see if it was true.” she said. Michael looked at the mirror on the other side of the room to discover that there was a bright red spot indicated chakra entry on his forehead. “But don’t I look handsome?” he said while striking a model pose. “I’ll go get Mom and tell her you’re up. She’ll probably want to examine your head again.” Cecilia said after giggling at her brother.

Cecilia walked to the master bedroom of the house, where her mother, Hannah, was lying on the bed reading her magazine. “Mom, Mike-nii-san woke up. Just thought I’d let you know.” “Okay, sweetie, thank you.” Hannah replied. She got off of her bed and continued down the hallway to Michael’s room. “Mikey-kun, can I check you again?” “Sure, Mom.” he said. Byakugan! The veins surrounding her eyes popped out once chakra started flowing through them. For the third time that day Hannah focused her attention to his forehead. She gasped inwardly when she saw that all the chakra that had once been there was now gone. The chakra is all gone…how? “Hey Mikey-kun, do you remember who you were sparring when the chakra point in your forehead got sealed?” Hannah asked. “No I don’t…sorry Mom.” Hmm…post sealing amnesia. Hopefully his memory will return.

In the basement, Heather froze as she heard footsteps coming from the stairs of that room. “Is anyone down here? I know someone is….whoever you are I sense your chakra. There’s no sense in hiding.” said Cecilia. Heather slowly rose up from her hiding spot to face her older sister. “But I thought I cloaked my chakra. Did it not work?” “Apparently not,” Cecilia answered, “Why are you hiding down here?” “Well….” Heather began. When the story was over, Cecilia looked at her sister with mildly sympathetic eyes. “Let’s go tell Mom.”

The two girls silently ascended up the staircase and walked into their brother’s room. Heather was thinking to herself: Thanks, Nee-chan. I’m so gonna die. What should I say- She was cut off when Cecilia said to their mother, “Hey Mom, Heather-chan has something to tell you.” “Okay, Heather-chan, what is it?” Hannah said. “Um,” Heather pressed her fingers together, “You see, I asked Mikey-nii-san if he would have a practice spar with me now that I go to the academy and agreed. Once we had started, I remembered the time when you and Neji were explaining Juken to us. I remembered your demonstration of the technique and I tried to mimic it. I got the hang of and began to attack at my own pace and in my own style. I accidentally hit his forehead and I think at that point he realized what would happen because of it. Of course, I didn’t know what would happen. He then yelled, “Oh for the love of Kami-sama!” and fainted. I ran as fast as I could and then remembered Daddy using a transportation jutsu and mimicked that as well. I POOF!ed to the basement and attempted to seal my chakra just long enough for me to come up with a plan to cover it up. But then Ceci-nee-chan found me down there and brought me here. And now here we are.” “Oh! Wow! Do you know how hard it is to properly manipulate the right amount of chakra to block that point?! Even I have problems getting the right amount! You will not be punished…unless you don’t apologize to your brother.” Hannah said shocked. “Okay, I’m sorry Mikey-nii-kun.” “Apology accepted, Short Stuff!” Michael said. “Would you mind unblocking the chakra point?” Hannah asked Heather. “Why not?” The girl’s veins pumped chakra to her eyes as she whispered “Byakugan!” Heather placed an enflamed finger on his forehead and pushed with such precise force that all blockage was cleared.


So, did you all like it? For a page and a half, I'd say it's pretty detailed. Don't ask about the kekkei genkai that were used or what clan they are becuase it's really hard to explain. To Rebecca and Alexa: I know you recognize a couple names, but don't ask me on here. Ask at school on Tuesday or call me. Please review!
