Disclaimer: I do not own the Naruto characters! I own Kiki, yes- me, the psychopathic author! (I'm not psychopathic…I think…)
Thunder roared as the rain pelted the windows. Outside, a violent wind whipped through the trees. A woman stood on her roof as the lightning grew near. Hands outstretched to the sky, she laughed as the static ripped through her hair, which coiled around the blanketing electricity. Then all was as it had been. The wind howled, the rain poured from the sky, and the woman receded to her home.
Two pairs of golden, catlike eyes stared across the landscape. He knew what the large burst of lightning was, and a sadistic smile spread across his face. Another event for another time, he thought before he stalked through the streets, searching for a certain purple haired ninja.
She ran as fast as she could, her lungs burning from their lack of air. She looked behind her, causing her to trip on a fallen tree branch and tumble through the tree roots. The horse's hooves began to pass over her crumpled body, and she was still, trying to appear as though she was unconscious. Suddenly a gloved hand gripped tendrils of her hair and pulled her along through the brush, causing her to cry out as she was whipped by the greenery. The hand threw her against a tree, while the other hand grabbed her left thigh, a searing heat causing her vision to go red, while the smell of burning flesh filled the forest.
Her eyes flew open, and she brought herself into a sitting position. Her hands gripped her head as she placed her head against her knees. Her thigh burned, but she expected that since she had just had the dream about the scar's origin. Kiki looked around to find her blanket, which she had thrown off in her dreams during the night. She picked it up from off of the floor and set her bed to rights, grabbing a robe from her closet. Kiki walked downstairs to the kitchen and set a pot of water on the stove to boil.
Grabbing the pantry door, she rummaged trough the contents. I REALLY have to do some shopping! Sighing, she closed the pantry and raided her herb shelf, searching for mint and catnip. At least I have tea to get me ready for training.
Five minutes later, she had downed the cups of tea, and her frayed nerves were on the mend. She went upstairs and walked into her closet, looking for something red. When she came out, she was adorned in a short sleeved red blouse, with flowing black pants which stopped just below her knees, and practical black shoes which stopped just below her ankles. Hair was wrapped in a golden ribbon which started at the bottom of her shoulders and ended two inches below her waist.
Grabbing her twin blades, Kiki walked over to her window and opened it, jumping out and closing the window behind her. She jumped off of her roof and ran through Konoha, buckling her swords to the gold wire belt that was positioned on her hips. She jumped up onto a stairwell and walked along a hallway of apartments. It was still early, but se knew that the person she was looking for would be awake.
Kiki knocked crisply on the door, and after a few minutes, a crash, and a string of swearing, a blonde boy fumbled the door open. Her eyebrows were raised slightly in sarcastic inquiry, and he waved it off, stepping aside to let her in the door. She walked in and immediately saw what had made the sound. The table was toppled over, and the bowl of ramen that had been on it was spilled on the floor, the liquid steaming as it soaked into the floor.
Sighing, she pulled the liquid from the floorboards and bent it into the sink. She sighed again, "Naruto, you're such a klutz."
Naruto walked out of the other room and looked at her, rubbing the back of his head. A goofy smile was plastered on his face.
She just did and exasperated sigh and a light head slap. Leave it to Naruto to look just like him. He doesn't even know it, but he looks just like otou-san. She shook her head lightly in her hand and looked up, rubbing her face, "Okay Naruto, Kakashi must be waiting for you. Don't be late."
The blonde nodded and looked at her blankly for a moment. He came over and pressed his hands onto her shoulders, "Okay nee-chan, could you please just tell me what's troubling you? You're making it so obvious that Itachi could notice it a mile away."
She flinched lightly at the mention of Itachi's name, and Naruto regretted saying that little part of the sentence. She looked at him, "Yeah…about that… I had a very bad dream last night, so I'm not really myself yet. Anyway, you'd better head out for your training before you're later than Kakashi!" Kiki spun around and was about to walk out of the room.
"Kiki, if you ever need a favor, just ask. After all, you don't look too well today."
She nodded and walked out of the door, whispering, "Thanks nii-san." She sat down on a bench a few blocks away and rested her head in her hands. She needed to cool her head, and she knew just how to do so. She walked over to the hot springs and walked inside. The steam soothed her thoughts, and she breathed the steam into her lungs, releasing it before stepping back out of the hot springs again. Kiki walked down the barely lit road, heading towards the gates of town for her daily training. She sighed again, before looking up and noticing that Naruto was looking down from the top of the roof at her.
She smiled broadly and waved at him, but he didn't seem too happy. Kiki snickered and started to walk on when she noticed what he was staring so intently at. Here we go, AGAIN. She stalked off, knowing (somewhat) what Naruto's scheme was. The gates loomed above her as she waved to the shinobi guarding the gate as she walked through. The road was still dark, the streets the only things lit in the village. She quickly jumped into the trees and took off, alighting from tree to tree as she went. The storm was about to break, and she wanted to be at her vantage point when the lightning started.
The static in the sky was foreboding. Not many people would be training in this kind of weather, but she reveled in it. Kiki never noticed being followed, but there was someone behind her. He stayed well inside of the shadows, following her untraceably. He knew that she could lead him to the person who he was looking for, but until then he would be a silent shadow.
Finally, she ended up on the top of a cliff, and looked up to the sky. From this vantage point, she could see the entirety of Konoha, and she smiled, closing her eyes and facing the canyon, arms outstretched. Feeling eyes looking at her, she turned to see a shadow in the trees.
A mischievous smirk spread across her face, and she turned back around, the wind howling through her hair. Note to self: cut the hair ASAP. It's not worth it! The trees rustled, the storm was so close that she could feel the static electricity in every bone in her body. Her face turned upwards to the sky, and she let out a blood-curdling battle cry.
The clouds gathered static energy, and the lightning shattered the sky, ramming into Kiki, whose arms were outstretched to the sky. In an instant, the lightning was gone, and she sat down upon the rock of the cliff. Rain started to blow on the wind, and her eyes closed, her torso leaning back to rest against the rock behind her.
When her body didn't reach the rock, her eyes opened to look at what she had run into. Strands of black hair fell onto her face from the person who was behind her, and she looked curiously into the shadow of the person's face.
A smile split said person's face, "Hello, Kiki-chan."
Her eyes grew wide in shock, and she froze. She felt a genjutsu starting to grip her, and tried to keep it away from her. Against all of her struggles, the edges of her vision started to fade. Her head fell back against the person, and everything went black.
Naruto watched from the trees, Sasuke beside him, as the person picked up an unconscious Kiki and turned to face them. They felt the persons eyes on them, and when they saw his gaze, their eyes grew wide. They toppled to the ground, and the person smirked as he stalked off.
"Ojii-san!" Naruto burst into the hokage's office, Sasuke at his heels. Kakashi turned around to look at the two genin, and Sarutobi looked at them, his eyes slightly wide. Naruto looked at them, and he was worried, "She's gone. The lightning struck, she sat down, and there was a person behind her. It looked like she was surprised at who she saw there, because she froze. She NEVER freezes up. When she passed out, the person picked her up, and he looked at us. Everything went black, and when we woke up, they were gone!"
"Naruto, you need to be a little more specific,"
"Kiki…he took…Onee-chan." Naruto looked down and collapsed to his knees. Sasuke was already sitting down, and Naruto started swearing, pounding the floor with his fist. Sasuke looked at Naruto, and his face showed nothing.
Sarutobi stood and motioned to Kakashi, "Get Anko and Sakura. We need to find her before Naruto loses it."
That's chapter one…. Please tell me what you think!
