Kitsune Legends
Okay, before we get started, let me tell you that this fanfiction has been stuck in my head for at least a year (yes I'm weird) and when I space out (it happens a lot) I usually continue this little "story" in my head. All kind of reviews are appreciated (that includes flames...), but either way, even if I do get some flames, I will continue this story. Oh, and btw, this is my first fanfiction, lol.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, xD.

Enter! Yin and Yang!
"Winner! Hakumei Mikiko!"
A silver haired femme collapsed onto the grass as she squinted her deep amethyst pools in slight pain. Her teammate did the same, clutching his stomach. They stared at each other for a few moments before the girl started smiling a little.
"Nice match Riku, you al-"
"Shit! Mikiko, couldn't you have slowed down a little?" he complained as he sat upright, now rubbing the side of his head where she had delivered a punch earlier. She sighed, getting up and dusting herself off. Throwing a tired look at Riku, she shook her head.
"Idiot. You know I can't do that. It's called a mock battle for a reason."
Riku sighed too as he sized up his teammate. Hakumei Mikiko, age 12. She had long silver hair that was tied in a low ponytail, leaving her long bangs to dangle about her face. Her black tank top only had one strap, which hung around her right shoulder underneath a metal shoulder guard. Her black knee-high capri's had white taijutsu bandages wrapped around her right thigh, underneath her shuriken holster. On her arms from the elbows down were more taijutsu bandages, ending at her knuckles. Over her hands she wore black half-gloves with a metal plate on top of both of them. Black ninja sandals and a black leather Hitai-Ate like a dog's collar around her neck topped off this outfit. Her ninja headband bore the sign of the Mist.
"Pervert."
Riku snapped out of his daze and glared at his other teammate as she hopped off the tree branch and landed next to him, grinning. 'Ha! I caught him in the act...'
Hakumei Tsuki, age 12; and Mikiko's twin sister. 'Of course, whenever I say that they're the same age, she says that she's older. Like 12 minutes really makes a real difference...' he thought as he took the hand that she held out and got up. She wore a dark blue kimono that reached halfway to her knees. The sleeves reached her wrists, so they don't restrict her movements. It had a simple design with a few white cherry blossom designs here and there. Most of her legs were covered with white taijutsu bandages, with her shuriken holster on her right hip, and black ninja sandals, like her sister. Tsuki wore her hair up in a tight bun, with two steel senbons keeping her hair together. Her black Hitai-Ate was wrapped loosely around her petite waist.
Sighing again, he shrugged it off and walked to their jounin sensei, who had a thoughtful look on his face. His name was Hoshigaki Katsu, the current Mizukage's son, and one of the Mist's seven swordsmen. Riku rolled his crimson eyes at his sensei. 'I know that look. It's the "I'm-not-paying-attention look" ...damn. How did I end up with this cell?'
Mikiko glared at the back of Riku's head as she walked, not liking being "inspected" by their pervert of a teammate. He had spiked brown hair and blood red eyes that seemed to notice everything. He had black cargo pants with dark blue ninja sandals. Riku wore a skin-tight black tank top and white taijutsu bandages were wrapped around most of his arms and hands. He wore his black Hitai-Ate in its proper place; on his forehead. She glared harder when she remembered yesterday, when they first became a genin team.
Flashback:
"Alright Team 11, now that we're all here, let's go ahead and introduce ourselves," announced their new sensei as he sat them down inside an empty classroom. Groans erupted from the three, and Katsu grinned at their responses. Riku glared at him.
"You should introduce yourself first! Besides, we all need to know what kind of crazed sensei we have now that we graduated..." he said as he crossed his arms. The twins nodded in agreement.
"Fine, fine...I know when I'm out-numbered..." he replied as he held his arms up in defense.
"My name is Hoshigaki Katsu. I'm 26 years old. I like...working kids like you to death and S, A, and B-type missions. I hate bratty little kids who are impatient and loud. My dream is none of your business. You, with the attitude, your turn!" He pointed at Riku, who glared harder for a few more seconds.
"I'm Takamoto Riku, and I'm 12 years old. I love Iccha Iccha Paradise books, flirting with pretty girls" he eyed the twins with a smirk, causing one of them to cringe slightly and the other to glare "and training. I hate doing something for a stupid reason and things that are boring. My dream...is to someday meet Jiraiya-sama and become a great fighter like him! Okay, done." He smiled at the effect his words had on his teammates. 'Hehe...this is going to be fun...'he thought happily.
"Err...okay, next person. The twin that's not glaring, go." he said, sweat dropping at his students. 'At least it won't be boring teaching these guys...' he thought as he turned his attention to the silver haired girl, who cleared her throat after that uncomfortable silence.
"My name's Hakumei Tsuki, a 12 year old kunoichi! I love ramen, learning new healing techniques, and collecting little plushy cats. I hate standing still and being quiet. My dream is to become the greatest healer in this village and rival the power of Tsunade and Sakura!" As she said this Tsuki clenched her fists and a fire burned in her eyes. Riku and Katsu sweat dropped at her determination and both seemed to be thinking the same thing. 'I wonder what her sister is like...'
"I'm Hakumei Mikiko, and I'm 12 years old. Obviously, I'm Tsuki's twin." She rolled her eyes a little. "I like training, learning new techniques, and quiet places. I hate people who look down on others and...perverts." Riku laughed nervously as she sent a death glare towards him. He scratched the back of his head as she continued. "My dream...is to kill a couple people who have done me and my sister wrong," she finished, her eyes becoming blank as she thought about her dream. Another awkward silence followed as some killer intent rolled off of the girl. Tsuki and Katsu sweat dropped again as they looked from Mikiko to Riku. Riku shifted in his seat uncomfortably. 'I wonder if she wants to kill me?' he thought as their new sensei clapped his hands to end the silence.
"Okay! Now that that's over, let's talk about a few things. In one week, after a few training sessions, I will give you a test to see if you really deserve to become Mist genin." he said with a happy voice. Mikiko spoke up. "What? But what about that other test we took just yesterday? Isn't that enough?" Katsu laughed heartily. "Nope! That test was just to weed out the weaklings. Now, the real fun begins!" He eyed his students as huge waves of killer intent washed over the kids, making them all shiver a little. "Tomorrow, we will meet at training area 34 at 7 a.m.! Don't be late or I'll send you back to the academy so fast your heads will spin!" and with that he made a few seals and poofed into a cloud of smoke. Tsuki got up and clapped her hands together, grinning widely.
"Okay! Now that Katsu-sensei's gone, let's go out to celebrate graduating! Let's go to that new ramen shop, okay?" she said excitedly as she grabbed Mikiko and Riku's hands and dragged them out the doors, towards the busiest street in town. Mikiko sighed as shook off her sister's hold on her and eyed her with a slight smirk. "You just wanted to try out the ramen there didn't you?" "Hehe...how'd you know?" she giggled at Mikiko as she rolled her eyes.
As they sat down at an emtpy table, Tsuki yelled out her order for 5 large bowls of miso ramen and smiled at her teammates. The waitress and Riku gave her a weird look.
"What the hell? How can you eat so much?" he asked in shock. Tsuki laughed at his expression.
"Because I can, idiot!"
"You'll find out soon enough anyways." Mikiko added as she smacked Tsuki's head to stop her from attracting more attention. She looked around cautiously and saw that some ninja were eating here also, fully armed. Looking back at the waitress, she smiled to calm her nerves. "I'll have 2 large bowls of miso pork ramen please..." and looked towards a gaping Riku, smirking. He snapped out of his stupor.
"U-Uhm...I'll just have 1 large bowl of miso ramen..." the waitress looked relieved at Riku as he ordered something a normal human being can eat. She hurried to the kitchen to give their order to the chef, who looked at the order and yelled out in surprise. Tsuki snickered at him and turned her gaze towards Riku, who was now eyeing Mikiko.
"Hey, Miko-chan...want to walk through the park alone with me later? I'll want to show you something...," he said in a suggestive tone. Mikiko looked at the boy with a surprised look on her face as he groped her butt. Quickly glaring, she grabbed his arm, pulled Riku up from the chair and spun him around, gripping his hand behind him. She leaned in and whispered in his ear.
"You shouldn't be doing that around me...who knows what might happen to you?" The hairs on the back of his neck stood up as she tightened her grip on his hand and let go, smiling. Riku laughed nervously as he took his seat again.
End Flashback.
Riku felt uncomfortable under the glare that Mikiko was giving him. They neared their sensei, who was casually leaning against a tree and eyeing Mikiko.
"Mikiko, stop glaring at him like that. You're making everyone feel umcomfortable."
"O-Oh...sorry, Katsu-sensei." He shrugged as his students all sat down in front of him, waiting for him to speak.
"Okay, training is done for today! Meet at the Mission center tomorrow at the same time, and bring all your ninja gear." An excited cheer escaped from Riku and Tsuki as they jumped up in joy.
"Finally! A mission!" Tsuki pumped her fist into the air as she grinned. Mikiko offered a small smile.
'I wonder what kind of mission Katsu-sensei will give us...it better not be a D-class...,' before she can continue pondering what their sensei said, he poofed away and Tsuki was dragging her home, towards the Hiroshima estate. Sighing, she waved good-bye to Riku, who was sweat dropping at Tsuki's very happy behavior.
'Ha...even I have to feel sorry for Miko...it looks like her energy's being sucked up just being around the hyperactive Tsuki-chan...,' he thought before he laughed and headed home. He stretched his arms and smiled widely.
"I can't wait for tomorrow!"
End chapter
Okay, I'm really really sorry for the beginning part being boring! XP. But I just wanted to get the outfits and stuff out of the way before I continued the story! And about me not describing Katsu's outfit, gomen! I can't describe guy's clothes well. Just to remind you:
Tsuki – Yin; happy; loud (haha, she sounds like me...RAMEN! X3)
Mikiko – Yang; quiet; calm
Anyways, please review! Comments, praises, flames, whatever:3.
