Story Start

---------------------------------------------10 years in the past------------------------------------------------

"Agghhh!! Someone help me please!" a little girl cried as she ran from the older boys chasing her. She was growing tired and they were catching up to her. She stumbled and fell, twisting her ankle. She rolled down a hill with increasing speed and fell into the lake. Her head bobbed to the surface and she was coughing and spluttering before sinking back under. She clawed at the water, trying to resurface but she didn't know how to swim. Her vision started to go blurry and her arms quickly tired. Just when she gave up on swimming to the surface, she dimly saw a dark figure swim up to her. The strange figure wrapped an arm around her. Before it dawned on her that the figure was rescuing her, her head broke the surface. She coughed and choked on water as she gasped for air. Filling her lungs as much as she could.

The boy who had rescued her was about 3 years older than her. He had blue skin and black (or really dark blue) hair, strange on his face that looked like gills and razor sharp, pointed teeth. All in all he was scary looking but he had saved her life. He set her down and glared at the boys who had chased her. "you almost killed a little girl!" he snarled, "I should kill you for that" the boys stared at him with frightened eyes, and, as one, they turned and ran. Blue-boy turned and looked at the girl, his eyes softened and the dangerous glint in his eyes disappeared immediately. "Are you ok?" he asked.

"I, my ankle hurts" the girl said quietly.

"Come with me, I'll make it better" the blue boy said picking her up piggy back style.

"Hey?" the girl said after a few minutes of silence, What's your name?"

"Hoshigaki Kisame, yours?"

"Koumori Sayuri"

----------------------------------------1 hour later---------------------------------------------------------------

"hey Kisame?" Sayuri asked as he bandaged her ankle, they had walked through the surrounding forest and entered an old shack.

"yes?"

"are you a ninja?"

"yes" Kisame answered with a grin. Sayuri nodded and sat quietly for a time. When Kisame was done he turned to leave, "will you be able to get home on your own?" he asked.

"yeah no problem!" Sayuri chirped happily.

"ok then, bye"

"wait Kisame!" Sayuri said quickly.

"yes?"

"I'm gonna be a great ninja just like you!" she said, hobbling over and throwing her arms around his waist. Kisame patted her head then left. Sayuri watched him go, forming a picture of him within her mind so she would never forget the nice boy who had helped her.

--------------------------------------------10 years later--------------------------------------------------------

Sayuri didn't know what had come over her, how she had gotten into this predicament. She did not know how to fight, she never had any training, the only thing she could do was throw a kunai. It had been enough though. All she clearly remembered is that she hated criminals and learned that they were never killed or properly punished for their actions. They were brought to a prison, thrown in a cage where all they did was sleep and eat. Not good enough, she thought. The next time she saw a criminal she had blanked. Wasn't in control of her own body.

The next thing she knew, she was covered in blood and hiding in a cave in the forest. As she sat there, bits and pieces of what had happened came to her. She saw herself marching into the prison and slaughtering every single prisoner, guards rushing to stop her, and her killing them as well. She shivered. When night fell she snuck into her village and took some clothes from her apartment, and all of her money. Then she returned to the cave, dropped off her stuff and washed the blood from her body in the small stream nearby. She changed into a fresh pair of clothes and burned the old ones. "what am I going to do?" she whispered to herself before falling into a very troubled sleep.

-------------------------------------------------1 month later----------------------------------------------------

(don't worry I'll stop skipping ahead once I get into the main part of the story!!)

Sayuri had gotten into the habit of wearing disguises and doing little jobs here and there for money (not dirty things perverts!! Specifically RocknKitty!). On her way to the hotel she was staying at, Sayuri took off her wig and sunglasses, letting her shoulder length, silky black hair down. "hey baby!" a voice called. Sayuri looked straight ahead and kept walking. Besides the thug who called her another person watched from the shadows. "aww! C'mon don't ignore me" the thug complained standing and walking towards her. He approached quickly then grabbed her shoulder and slammed her against the wall, all playfulness gone. He dropped the illusion and revealed himself to be a member of the Anbu black ops. "your Koumori Sayuri and your under arrest for the murder of 12 prisoners and 4 guards," he growled forming chakra strings to bind her with. Sayuri didn't think, she just acted, she kicked him in a very painful spot and ran.

"shit!" she thought, "that was the stupidest thing I've ever done!"

"Hold it right there!"

Sayuri stopped in her tracks and realized she was surrounded.

"Is she gonna fight?" The man in the shadows thought, yes, he was still watching her (me: what a creeper :P).

Sayuri stood absolutely still. Then slowly raised her hands in surrender. One of the Anbu stepped forward and searched her, finding no weapons he asked, "what kind of ninja doesn't carry weapons?"

"I am not a ninja...I only know how to throw kunai..thats the extent of my abilities."

"Not a ninja!?" the man in the shadows thought in surprise. "Sayuri...Koumori?" he muttered to himself. This was the girl who hadn't been afraid or disgusted by his strange appearance. "funny...you promised to become a powerful ninja, just like me...AND YOU HAVENT EVEN STARTED!?"

As the Anbu came forward to arrest Sayuri, a dark figure swooped down from one of the rooftops and, before Sayuri could even blink, all 5 of the Anbu were dead.

"The Anbu are powerful ninja, but even they can't fend off an enemy they can't see" said a voice behind her.
