Chapter 1: Two Ninjas' Past
:::000:::
Hello everyone, my name is Kunimistu. Or 'Kuni' for short. In this story, you'll know how my brother Raven and I became the best ninja bad asses we are today. ~Kuni
~::::~
A long time ago, in a small village named 'Marisoki,' there was a tiny girl named Kuni with red hair in two back ponytails. She loved daggers with all her heart. She'd often play ninja with her older brother Raven. Kuni always wanted to become a ninja like the Manji Clan. She and Raven their parents Ryuuji and Taiga for enrollment in Ninja training. They were very cool parents, so they said 'Yes!' The siblings were super excited; after all, if they were worthy, they could actually join the Manji!
In training, Kuni and Raven were the top students. They were participating in advanced classes before they could truly earn their black belts. Everything was perfect for everyone in Marisoki village, until…it happened.
When the two siblings were 10 and 13, (Kuni and Raven, respectively) their lives changed forever.
One day after training, a young Kuni wanted her brother to get her some ice-cream. "Raven! Look over there! ICE-CREAM! Get me one!" Kuni playfully demanded. The said brother rolled his eyes. "Oh fine! You're lucky I want some too!" As Raven went to go get the ice-cream, none of the villagers noticed a giant gray monster with snakes on its right arm. To put it simply, it was Ogre. He roared loudly, catching the attention of many villagers. They either screamed in fear or ran for their lives. The monster started to burn down the village with its mouth of fire. Seeing the situation, Raven dropped the ice-cream and rushed to Kuni's side. Wanting to save the breaking village from further destruction, Kuni and raven took out their daggers. They threw it at Ogre at the same time. The creature reflected the attack, pushing the weapons back at them. The speed that it was coming towards them was accelerating. They tried to duck, but they misjudged timing. All in one flash, Kuni's daggers cut her down her face on either sides of her creamy face. It created two red huge lines on her young face. Raven, on the other hand, his daggers cut him crisscross. From his eye brow sideways to his cheek; they both fell down. (A/N: I guess you can say X marks the spot! Hehehe…no?) The brother and sister held their faces in agony. But they didn't have time to quiver in pain; they had to get the hell out! Especially since they had to go find their parents! Raven stood up with struggle. He grabbed Kuni and both of their daggers and ran as fast as he could. With blood dripping down both of their faces, they eventually found their house. It was still in good condition while the others around them were burned down. "MOM! DAD!" Kuni and raven yelled in unison. Soon after, their parents rushed out of the house with opened arms. As the kids progressed towards them, the house was suddenly engulfed in flames. Not a minute later, so were their parents. The siblings couldn't do anything but watch in shock while their parents' dying screams echoed in their ears. After that, Ogre flew away, leaving the young ninjas in training to drop to their knees, bursting to tears and wailing for help.
Luckily, they heard horses running to their direction. The people on the horses were members of the Manji Clan. The current leader's gaze fell upon the burned bodies, the ash houses, and the tear-streamed bloody faces of the two kids before him. "Come children, we have to get you out of here!" The kids couldn't decline, otherwise they would be all alone, and forgotten. Raven abruptly grabbed Kuni and put her on the horse, behind the leader. One of the members of the Manji Clan helped Raven up to get on his horse saddle. "Yah!" The leader yelled, and off the clan goes to their secret location of their hideout. Kuni's view of the burned village proceeds to get smaller, and smaller, as the siblings are rode off into the night.

I know it's pretty cliché, but it was a sad and important memory. We pulled through, and they became a family to us. It wasn't really easy though; there were more of the Manji than we thought! 20 members in Marisoki, 150 members in Manji Village! So, not all of them would look at us and call us allies at first sight. We had to gain their trust. ~Raven

Kuni eventually fell asleep while the Clan was carrying her and Raven away. Both their hurt and was covered in dry blood. Raven had to stay up to make sure Kuni was alright. But he as well, felt pretty sleepy. With the cool wind blowing his face, he was out like a light, resting his head on the back of the horse rider.
Raven woke up next to a sleeping Kuni. After sitting up, he took note that they were on a large futon. In arm's length, there were 2 bowls of rice and chicken. Next to that are 2 sets of chopsticks and 2 glasses of apple juice. Food now set for them, Raven shook Kuni awake from her slumber. She instantly jolted up for the first time in forever. Normally, she would take eternity to wake up, but with the situation they are in, she is more alert than anything. Raven gave Kuni her food and they began to eat; they thought it was delicious. No words were shared between them. After a long moment of dining, a shadow before them.
"Hello, my name is Master Tonoji Ryuzaki. I am the leader of the Manji Clan and will be your proud master."
