Without Further ado for all my Ninja fans, here is my next story

Chapter One

Runaway

"Stop! Leave me alone! Stop it! Please!"

Her heart was thumping in her ears. Her lungs hurt. Her legs were tired. The wound in her side stung. She felt like she had been running for hours, her attackers chasing her still, but in truth it had only been minutes. Her father's voice called after her, telling her to come back, but the 7-year-old child just continued to run as the rain seemed to hit her like bullets. She wanted to stop, to rest, to catch her breath, but she knew what would happen if she did that. She refused to be captured again, and so, she continued to run. She ran as hard and as fast as she could. She didn't know how he was outrunning the four behind her but she wasn't going to stop to find out.

Satomi Gen was freezing and she was getting tired but she refused to stop. Now was not the time to stop! She had fought so hard to break away and she wasn't going to waste her chance to stay free. She continued to run but her foot was caught by an upturned root, resulting in her landing on her face. Fear enveloped her as she pushed herself up on her knees, wrapping her arms around herself. This was the end. She was going to get caught and killed, or even worse, taken back. She would rather die than go back!

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Satomi screamed. Wind grew fierce around her, like blades as it hit the men that were trying to grab her. Screams erupted as fingers flew and blood splattered. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" With her second scream, the wind got worse and larger. She couldn't hear anything from outside the vortex that she was in and she closed her eyes so she wouldn't have to see the blood that began to twirl around her with the wind. She didn't know how long she sat there inside the vortex but it eventually powered down, leaving the small child just sitting there, quivering in rain and blood. She was exhausted, barely able to keep her eyes open. She fell forward. The blood loss had weakened her and she wasn't going to be able to move on any further now. As her face hit the ground she watched as a pair of feet walk towards her before her eyes rolled up into the back of her head.

~Say my name
So I will know you're back you're here again, for a while
Oh let us share the memories that only we can share
Together
Tell me about~

Satomi woke up warm, her head light and spots fluttered across her vision when she opened her eyes. She was inside somewhere, she could tell by the sound of the rain beating down on the ceiling above her and the warmth of the fire beside her. Slowly moving her hand, she found that the wound in her side had been wound up. She was in bed and that relieved her. It meant that she hadn't been caught. Someone had saved her.

"Oh, you're awake." A voice sounded through the room. "About time." Satomi turned her head to see those same feet before she glanced higher. It was a young man with blue skin and small, white yes that was now crouching beside her in black and blue. There was a Mist village headband on his forehead and a smile on his lips. "Are you all right?"

Satomi stared at him for a moment. She had never seen a man with blue skin before. "Yeah…" She slowly pushed herself up, wincing at the stinging in her side.

The man reached out to help her up but she flinched away. He pulled back and glanced the child over. She had medium red hair and green eyes. Her ripped clothes were old and dirty, their color of yellow now faded and old as some scars could be seen over her arms and legs. He frowned with distaste in his mouth. Something was telling him that the child had gone through a lot.

"Can you tell me what happened? What were you doing in the forest? Who were the ones that were…around you?" She stayed silent, refusing to look at him. He pulled a face. He had been thinking to himself since he had found her, thinking about whom her attackers had been, and now he found out that he had been right. "They were your family, weren't they?" Satomi tried to stay calm but her tears burst out and she covered her face. The man was still for a moment before awkwardly patting her on the back. At his touch, the young child jumped at him, burying her face into his shirt. He froze again before giving a sigh and wrapping an arm across her back. The two of them stayed there like that as a small, sad smile spread out across the man's face. "Come on, let's get you something to eat." He stood up and turned towards a door, disappearing behind it as Satomi wiped the tears from her face. When he returned he had a glass in his hands and a sandwich on a plate in the other.

"Who are you?" She asked softly, taking the food from him.

The man sat down on the other side of the fire, giving her a smile. "The name's Kisame Hoshigaki!"

"Kisame?" Satomi tried the name on her tongue as she continued to think to herself. "Where are we?" She asked him. "What's with the headband? What does the symbols stand for?"

Kisame's mouth fell open in silence for a moment before he closed it. "You mean…you don't know? About anything? You don't even know where you are?" Satomi hung her head and Kisame rubbed the back of his neck guiltily. "All right, listen to me, okay?" The girl lifted her head and nodded as he folded his hands on her knees. "We're on the outer skirts of the Kirigakure, or 'Village Hidden by Mist' in the Land of Water."

Satomi clung to his words as he continued to tell her everything. She found it fascinating, never having heard any of this before. "So…you're a nunji?" She asked him.

"A NINJA," Kisame growled, hiding a smirk. "Most of the people in the Mist Village are Ninja," His voice then grew dark. "and by what I saw earlier, you and your…'friends' are ones too."

Satomi lowered her head again. "I…I don't know what they were trying to do to me," She told him. "I just trained like they…they wanted. If I didn't, they would…" She shook her head, refusing to let her tears fall again. "I…I didn't want to but they made me!"

Kisame stared at her in silence for a moment, anger clearly radiating off of him. This was a child. How dare they do something like this to her, no matter what it was or what it was for. He didn't care who it was that had done this; if he ever found them he would kill them. "Well, that's not going to happen to you here, you can trust me on that."

Satomi glanced at him in silence for a moment. She really didn't know what to think but what could she do? She had never been outside her 'village' before so she had nowhere to go. If this man was planning on doing something to her, would he have wasted his time in healing her? She took a roll of the dice and nodded her head. "What…what do I do now?"

That took Kisame a moment to think before an idea burst into his mind. "I have an idea." He grinned. "I have a child about your age that I'm training at the moment, and with your Kekkei Genkai you'll be a natural at being a Ninja!"

"K-Kekkei Genkai?" Satomi looked at him, as if longing for information.

If Kisame was growing annoyed in having to explain everything to the young girl then he wasn't showing it. "Kekkei Genkai is a technique that one can only obtain through their bloodline of specific Clans. Each type in the clan can sometimes be special amongst their own family," His thoughts were growing darker as to why their child was beaten like she had been. Kekkei Genkai were still seen as disgusted in Kirigakure. "But I'm going to have to help you keep that power hidden."

"Hidden?" Satomi titled her head. "Why?"

He didn't know if she would understand the reasons as to why at such a young age. "Just trust me, Satomi," Kisame told the child softly. "Keep your Kekkei Genkai a secret. Bad results can come from letting people learn of it."

"Are…are you one of those people?" She asked him.

The blue man gave her a small smile. "No, it doesn't bother me at all. If you have something like that due to your bloodline, it doesn't matter to me." Satomi nodded her head. She glanced at the food he had brought her again before finally deciding to take a bite out of it. At the taste of the fish, the sandwich was gone in seconds, resulting in Satomi blushing as her stomach growled for another one. He grinned and stood up. "You want another one?"

"If…if that's all right."

"Don't be so bashful," Kisame told her. "If you want something, just tell me. If I got it, you can have it."

"Do you have something for me to change in to?" Satomi called to him.

Kisame was silent for a moment before he brought her another sandwich. "No, I doubt anything of mine will fit you but I'll get you something new to wear in the morning before I take you to my student. You'll be all right with training, won't you?" Satomi winced at the thought of training and Kisame had a good idea as to why. "Don't worry," He placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's going to be nothing like…like last time. I promise. You're not going to be treated like that anymore."

Satomi looked at him in silence again before a true smile broke out across her lips. "Okay." She continued to eat as the blue man sat across from her again. "Will I get a funny headband like yours?"

"It's not funny!" Kisame growled at her playfully. "A bunch of us wear it!" He replied. "Eventually, I'm sure that you will, if you like what I'm about to introduce you to."

Satomi nodded, taking a slow drink from the glass before her. "Your…your student," She began after a while. "What are they…they like?"

Kisame searched his brain for a moment, trying to find a way to explain his student without freaking the young girl out. He definitely wasn't going to tell her HOW he had become his student. "He's, uh, different from other students. He does take some getting used to though, so you might not like him at first, but that's understandable. Even I didn't like him at first."

"But you do now?"

"Yeah," Kisame nodded. "He grows on you after a little while. You'll see what I mean tomorrow." He stood up. "Try to get some more rest now, all right? Call me if you need anything; I'll be right in the next room." He turned to leave but her voice caught him.

"Thank you," She whispered. He turned to see that she had already laid back down and rolled her back to him. Kisame gave a large smile before disappearing into his room, leaving his door open just a crack; just in case.

Can you guess who Kisame's taking her to meet? roflmao
