I've been wanting to do this for some time. Now I was finally able to type it all out! ^^

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Ghost in the Shell...although I wish I do. ^_^ I only own Kira and her family members, for they are my characters.

Chapter 1: Going Cybernetic

It was a normal day in the Kat family…just like any other day in the Sound Village. Kira and Kita talk about boys at lunch with Sara only listening with an annoyed expression and with their mother commenting occasionally. Karachi and Josh were playing a game of go in the living room…and all was peaceful.

Suddenly, a message arrived from another dimension…and it was sent to the main house of the Kat Clan…to them.

Karachi opened the message hesitantly and quickly scanned through it before turning to his four children. They all seemed anxious and worried, but Karachi seemed the most worried of them all.

"Josh, Sara, Kita, Kira," he finally said, stating their names in the order of which they were born, "pack your things. We're heading to the Cybernetic Dimension!"

---------------------------------

Meanwhile, back in the future, Togusa and Batou just hung out outside the Section 9 building, both utterly bored out of their minds (as if that's possible).

"I don't know why the chief wants ninja recruits for this assignment," Togusa complained, recalling the message Chief Aramaki had sent to the Ninja Dimension just a few days ago. "I mean, the Individual Eleven can't be all that tough, right?"

Batou was silent for only a few moments before turned to look at Togusa with one eyebrow raised. "Isn't it obvious?" he retorted. More calmly, he added, "He's being careful. And besides, after what had happened, there's no telling what they might do next."

"Hmm, good point." Togusa then sighed with content as he felt the heat of the sun on his face. "Hey, Batou," he said after a few minutes of silence. "What do you think these ninjas might be like?"

Again, Batou was silent, but not for long. "If it's just as the chief says, then they're going to be a real pain in the ass." He took a quick sip of beer before adding, "With three girls and two guys, there's no telling who's going to get to know who."

Togusa just sat there, confused, before looking down towards the ground, recalling what the chief had said.

Now, when they arrive, they'll be assigned to a specific team. Of course, the father, Karachi, will be with me. Depending on their skills, you'll have one ninja. Again, we will not decide that until they arrive, but for the time being, let's just resume our natural duties. I'll call everyone in when they've arrived. Dismissed!

Again, Togusa had no idea what these five ninja will be like, but, hopefully, they'll be as friendly as Aramaki says…

----------------------------------------------

By the next day, the five ninjas were finally ready for travelling.

Kira was dressed in her all-black outfit, as usual. Her hair was down, and all she had was her katana strapped to her back.

"Why don't you have your tools?" Kita had asked. "If you don't have your sword, you could be in a real fix."

Kira just smiled and replied, "Unlike other ninjas, I can use my ninjutsu and whoop their butts to next week!"

Kita, on the other hand, only brought shuriken. She was dressed in a navy blue outfit, the darkest thing next to black, and had her light black hair up in a ponytail. Unlike Kira, she decided to wear her navy blue face mask, wanted to cover up her identity.

Sara was more on the "bright" side. She had a white outfit on, also with her white face mask, and having her dark brown hair down. All she had was her kunai knives.

It seems like everybody has their own taste in style these days.

Josh had his black outfit on, but also with his black face mask. All he had was his giant shuriken.

Karachi had his entire tool set and was also dressed in all black, but with no mask.

To others, it seemed like there were two outsiders in the group of five ninjas. Karachi looked over his children before nodded with approval. "From this day on, we have to be fully cooperative. I expect no fights, and definitely no complaining!" He glared over at Sara, who just pretended to stare off into space, before he continued. "I want you all to be on your best behavior… So, let's get going!" And with that, he gave his wife a quick kiss good-bye before heading out with the four teens following him behind.

-------------------------------------------------------

Another day had passed, and half the team was growing impatient.

"Where could they possibly be?" Saito simply asked, lounging around on the couch in Aramaki's office.

"Maybe they're not coming," Buma added, sitting next to Saito with his eyes on the ceiling.

"They will come!" Major Motoko Kusanagi interrupted, entering the room. "The chief had confirmation that they are on their way."

Togusa widened his eyes in surprise. "Really, now?"

Batou just sighed and started slouching, trying to draw attention, only to be slapped by the Major. "Sit up!" she stated…and he did. (XD)

As if on a signal, the rest of the team gathered around, them being Ishikawa and Pazu. They sat themselves down and waited for what seemed like hours for the arrival of the chief. When Aramaki finally entered his office, everyone stood up, and every single one of them stared in complete shock as they watched the five strangers file in behind him; three having masks, and two without.

"Team…these five are our ninjas."
