“Oh great. She's doing it again.” Hideaki muttered, stopping on a high branch and leaning against the thick trunk of a tree as he looked down at his younger sister kneeled in front of a dead fox.

Tears streaking down her face as she reached out for it, but Yuriko and Mai held her back. Kimmian glared up at Hideaki, who just shrugged, and jumped down to stand in between her and the fox. Aiko looked up as Kimmian shook her head with sadness. She turned around and grabbed the fox by the tail, looking at it with a bit of disgust, only because it smelled horrible. She threw it into the bushes quickly, turning back and grabbing Aiko by the arm.

She wasn't as tall as Kimmian, 'bout Mai's height. Maybe an inch or two taller. She had shoulder length auburn hair, streaked with black highlights. Her skin was sorta pale, but it still had a hint of tan. Her eyes were a chocolate brown, but if they hit the sun well, they turned into a caramel coloring. She wore a red dress that stopped a little above her knees. Red puffy sleeves with white ribbons attached. Knee high black boots and two long white ribbons in her hair. Two black twin blades hanging on both sides of her hips. Carved in them with the symbols of hate and love. A dragon wrapping around both handles. The hilt a bright red to match her dress. Her headband, with the sand symbol scratched through, wrapped around her upper arm and she didn't have a weapon pouch.

“Aiko, you know your not allowed to do that.” Kimmian sighed, rubbing her eyes.

Aiko wiped her tears, glaring at Kimmian and growled. At that moment, two little fox ears popped from Aiko's head. Mai and Yuriko let go of her and backed away, jumping into the tree with the others. Kimmian raised an eyebrow and hit her fist lightly, but sternly on Aiko's head. Her ears folded back and finally Aiko stopped growling.

“You know that doesn't work on me. We told you, use it when it's time. Don't waste it on foxes. You'll drain yourself.”

“But he needed my-”

Kimmian cut her off by placing a hand over her mouth. “It was dead. You couldn't help it. Now let's go. We have business to do.”

“How will we get into Konoha without being suspicious?” Hitoshi, a tall male, raised an eyebrow and smirked.

He had the same features as Hideaki, but his hair tied in back because it was a bit longer. His eyes a sea green, mixed with a bit a purple. And he was taller then Hideaki. All three of the males, Hideaki, Hitoshi, and Yasuo preferred to where regular T-shirts. Hitoshi wore a black shirt and dark blue pants, his headband tightly tied to his forehead. He also preferred kunai's and shuriken over swords. He said it was 'lighter' and easier to carry. He was about 5'10 or so. He was usually the strategist in the group.

Standing below them, arms crossed was Yasuo. He was the calm one in the group. Kimmian appreciated him being around. She was usually stressed. He has jet black hair, cut short, but still got in his eyes at times. It was ruffled and messed, but still cute. His eyes were the brightest of blues. They glowed at night, which interested everyone in the group. He wore a black shirt like Hitoshi, but with black pants and black shoes. His sword resting in a strap in his back and his headband, unlike everyone else, was no where in sight. He thought having the memories of the sand village pissed him off.

Kimmian rolled her eyes and opened up her backpack, throwing onto the ground 6 headbands with the leaf symbol on it. “My hands sorta grabbed a few things we needed.”

“You didn't kill anyone again, did you?” Hideaki asked boredly. Taking one of the blue headbands and looking it over for blood.

“Not this time.” Kimmian blankly replied. She laughed lightly, handing Mai and Aiko their headbands.

They all looked at the leaf headbands with disgust but shrugged it off.

“Alright, hand it over.” Kimmian smirked, holding out her hand in front of them all.

They all muttered cursed under their breath, untieing the headbands of their old villages and handing them to Kimmian. She folded them all up, dropping them into her backpack them closing it up. She strapped in onto her back then poked Aiko's ears. Aiko sighed and popped her ears back into her head, smiling a bit. Hitoshi and Hideaki dropped down from the tree at the same time. Mai ran over to the side of Hitoshi, who wrapped an arm around her shoulder. Kimmian rolled her eyes at the couple but smiled.

“Alright then. Anymore questions?”

“Yea, when the hell can we leave again?” Hideaki huffed.

Kimmian ignored him and looked at Yasuo. “You've been awfully quiet. What's on your mind?”

“Just wondering. What if she refuses to come with us?”

“We'll do what we have to.” Kimmian tied the headband to her neck loosely, looking them all in the eye. “We threaten her. If that doesn't work, we force her.”

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

Naruto pulled me by my arm so hard, I thought it would pop off.

“Naruto, where are we going?” I yelled at him, trying to get out of his grip.
“I told you, it's a surprise!”

I muttered under my breath, looking over his shoulder to see Sasuke, Sakura, Toshiro, Reizo, Rioku, Rinea, and Nira all there. I glared at Sasuke, who just glared right back. I still will get my revenge.

Naruto stopped suddenly, making me slam right into his back and fall onto my butt.

“Itai...” I cursed loudly. Naruto held out his hand, a wide smile still plastered on his face.

“Hey Maeko!” Sakura yelled, waving.

Fake.

“Hey Maeko.” Toshiro and Reizo greeted in unison.

I waved at them both, ignored Sasuke, like usual, and waved slightly to the Moon team. “Whats going on...?” I asked curiously.

“We're going to the secret waterfall only we know about!” Naruto practically yelled at the top of his lungs.

“It won't be a secret for long if you shout, idiot.” Sasuke said.

“Whoops!” Naruto laughed, rubbing the back of his head.

I smiled at his ways. Even with his team insulting him, he always smiles. It inspired me.

“Okay...But I don't have any bathing suit...”

“Taken care of!” Sakura yelled. She held up a black and red bikini set. I could feel my eye twitch.

“What the hell is that!? Did you cut that from a skimpy towel!?” I screamed, pointing at the thing they called a bathing suit.

“What? It's so cute! And your figure would fit well with it.” She winked.

My cheeks felt like they were burning and I growled.

“We'll deal with this later. Let's go!” Naruto hyped up more.

I groaned under my breath, following the three and walking beside Toshiro

“Don't worry, I bought you a one piece.” He blushed a bit, and smiled. “I kinda know what Sakura thinks like, so I had a back-up just incase.

I hugged Toshiro quickly and kissed his cheek. Then whispered, “Thanks.”

He nodded, smiling more as his blush grew.

I didn't know what was wrong with me, but instead of being happy about going to the waterfall, I felt as if we should stay near the village. The sensation in my stomach got worse. I looked around the forest we just entered, narrowing my eyes and scanning as far as I could see.

“Maeko? Hello, Maeko!” Naruto yelled in my ear, waving a hand in my face.

“Huh?” I blinked, oblivious to what they were looking at me for. “What?”

“I said you can change over there if you want to.”

I turned my head and saw thick bushes where I knew no one could see me. I nodded, taking Sakura's bikini first and looking at it again. My nose scrunched up but looked back at Toshiro. He tilted his head to his backpack and winked. I nodded and smiled again, thanking him in my mind. I walked behind the bush and looked around the open surrounding. I took my backpack off and placed my headband in it, then let my hair go from it's ponytail.

“Maeko?”

I stopped, about to pull off my shirt, and turned my head to see a girl I've never seen before. Next to her were 5 other people. 3 boys and 2 girls. I slowly reached for my kunai, but stopped when I saw the konoha headbands. “Yea...?”

She smirked, stepping forth and bowing slightly. “Nice to see you again.”

“Again...”

“Mmm, of course you probably don't remember me.”

I frowned at this girl, taking in her similar features, but I don't think I knew her.

“I'm Kimmian,” her smirk widened, taking out a kunai and twirling it. “Your half sister.” And she flung the kunai at me so fast, the scratch it made on my cheek stung 5 seconds after it hit. I held my cheek, feeling the blood drip through my fingers.

“My...half sister...?” I whispered surprised.

splendid.

double update >D

I had writers block!

[[Chapter 10--Not done]]

“My half sister…?” I repeated again, letting me hand fall from my cut cheek, the blood slipping down my face slowly. Kimmian watched me intensely, her mixed eyes, which I questioned in my head, burned as I searched them for a lie. But nothing. All I saw was the bold truth. I chocked on saliva, taking a step backing and running into a tree. “Your kidding, right?” She laughed.

“I wouldn’t bother bugging you, if you weren’t, Maeko. Silly girl.”

I glared at her; blocking out the other 5 people, I asked, “Why do you come to me now?”

She seemed to ponder this question. Was she going to tell me the truth?
“What?!” I asked, aggravated after 5 minutes.

She laughed, her eyes flashing as she looked back at me. “I want you to come with me back home.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. She cocked an eyebrow and looked at her friends. They just blinked at me. “Home?” I said through tears, trying to stop from laughing.

“Yes, home.” Her smile dropped, her eyes darkening and she glared.

“My home is here; in Konoha. I don’t even know what ‘home’ your referring to.”

“The Village Hidden in the clouds.”
“…Clouds?”

“Did I really stutter? Yes, clouds.”

“There is no such thing!” I yelled. I really didn’t like this joke.

“ Are you calling me a liar?” She growled.

I flinched back a bit, but I stood my ground. “I--”

“Maeko! Where are you!?” Naruto yelled from afar.

“I’m fine. I’ll be right there.” I yelled back. I turned back to Kimmian, staring her down. “He’ll be looking for me if I don’t go.”

Kimmian snarled, turned around on her heel and the rest, except one, followed; disappearing into the shadows of the forest. The one that stayed behind and stared at me with curiosity I’m guessing. Her head tilted to the side and her mouth parted slightly. Her short hair poured to one side. “What?” I asked slowly.

“Your insane.” She simply stated.

I scoffed, placing my hands on my hips. “How so?”

“Your going to get yourself killed.” And then she jumped into the shadows and off with the others.

I shook my head and decided to skip out on swimming.

~*~*~3^rd POV~*~
The rouge ninja waited impatiently for Mai to return as they either slumped or sat against tree’s. Kimmian paced around in wide strides, Aiko watching her every step.

“Maybe we should just force her like we planned to.”

“No…I don’t want to close her powers up. She can lock them up. We need her to trust us.”

“So far that plan is down the river. After your first impression, I‘m sure she doesn’t like you much.” Hideakii chuckled, getting himself a glare from everyone. He just smirked and closed her eyes in amusement. Kimmian rolled her eyes and began pacing again when Mai finally dropped down from the trees and straightened herself.

“Where were you?” Yuriko questioned automatically.

“Looking over the girl.”

“Why?” Hitoshi’s eyebrow raised, folding his arms over his chest. Mai smiled at him but her attention turned to Kimmian.

“She interested me.”

“Don’t try dissecting her, please?” Kimmian shook her head and stopped where she was walking. “She doesn’t like me…but she doesn’t know you all.”

“Where are you going at?” Yasuo spoke up.

“I need three volunteers. Two guys; One girl.”

“Your not thinking…” Hitoshi trailed odd.

Kimmian nodded, looking at Yuriko. “No. No, no, no! Definitely not!” She shouted, backing away.

“Oh, come on, Yuriko! Your patient and…well, your patient.”

“Send Mai. She’s interested in the girl.”

“I don’t mind.” Mai smiled, raising her hand and swaying from side to side. Kimmian’s shoulder’s slumped and she scratched her head.
“Fine. But you have to try and DO a mission. No goofing around, Mai. Just for that, Hitoshi, your going with her.”

Hitoshi’s face blanked. He rubbed his eyes but shrugged. “If I’m with Mai, then fine.” He sighed.

Kimmian smiled in triumph. She turned her face to Hideakii and gave a wide smirk. Everyone’s eyes shifted over to him. Hideakii sensed silence and opened his eyes to see Kimmian’s face inches from his. He glared, pushing off the tree a bit and standing up straight. He stared down at her with an eyebrow raised. “Eh…?”

“Your going to be staying in Konoha. Congratulations!” She laughed.

“What!?” He yelled, looking at everyone. “When was this decided?” He growled.

“Just now. Isn’t it great?” She laughed, shrugging her shoulders. “Your heading out in a couple with Mai and Hitoshi. Got it?”

Hideakii scoffed and slumped back against the tree, muttering under his breath.

“What are we going to be doing?” Aiko asked curiously.

“Keeping an eye on Maeko from afar. While they,” Kimmian pointed to the three ninja. “Keep watch from close range.”

They all nodded except Hideakii, who was still pissed from being chosen without his saying. Kimmian grasped the locked around her neck and nodded, half listening to the conversation that they started up together.

~*~Star Team; Hirami’s POV~*~

“I wanted her blood.” I growled, shuffling threw my tarot cards.

“That’s not our mission, Hira.” Mizumi called over he shoulder, sharpening her arrow tips.

Kyro sat beside a tree, watching over the two.

“Kyro, you think she is dead?” Mizumi asked.
“She should be.” Hirami laughed.

“She’s not.” Kyro stated dully.

“What?” Mizumi and Hirami yelled together.

Kyro blinked and stood up. He towered over Hirami and Mizumi who glared up at him. “I’m for real. She’s alive.” He laughed.

“You can sense her presence?” Mizumi asked.

“Stronger then ever.” He chuckled.
