My best friend and I made this. Her username is maemaechan and she helps me a lot with the ideas, so credit also goes to her. It isn't shippuden yet. That comes after chapter 19.

Playing with Fate

Running Away

Eight years ago, there were three young girls kidnapped from their homes: two from the Hidden Leaf Village and one from the Hidden Sand Village. Orochimaru had a plan for these future kunoichi; this was to fuse them with animal genes and to see if he could make a special breed of ninja with animal capabilities. Of course he had the help of two of his trusted minions to watch over them and teach them the ways of the darkness.

Eight years later those very girls tried to escape the lair.

"Hahaha! Catch up, bitch!" Bou laughed. Bou, age twelve now, is the oldest of the three. She has brunette hair that comes down to her shoulders and light green eyes. She has it up in two ribbons, making pigtails. She wears a black shirt and a blue skirt that ends mid-thigh. Bou wears a pair of pink, sky blue, and black flats. She has true potential in Gen Jutsu. Her weapon of choice is her giant hammer.

"Bou, don't taunt them! They'll only move faster!" Miku warned. Miku is the youngest of the three, making her eleven. She has dark brown eyes and long red hair that goes down mid-back; it's always left down. She wears a violet short-sleeved jacket over a snug fitting black shirt, a black skirt that ends mid-thigh, and knee-high black ninja sandals. She is mostly talented in Tai Jutsu, but her weapon of choice has to do with bombs.

"Yeah, Bou!" Kanon agreed. Kanon is also twelve, but still younger than Bou. She has long white hair that goes all the way down to her ankles and goldish eyes. She has her hair up in a high ponytail. She wears a loose red shirt, black pants, and a tan coat. She just has the average black ninja sandals. Kanon has a knack for Nin Jutsu and loves to use her fans even though she is also skilled with swords.

"Damn it! Get back here now!" Yuuki, the oldest of the two guardians, shouted. She is twenty-six and has mid-back length platinum hair. She wears a floor length dress that is black with a bluish tint. Her dress is tighter around the torso and becomes looser as it goes down. She carries a sword larger than her own body. Her red eyes were furious.

"Girls, please come back! This isn't funny!" Teruki said worriedly. Teruki was the other guardian. She is sixteen, meaning she has true talent to be allowed to watch over these three troublesome girls. Teruki has long black hair that goes down to her hips; she wears it up in pigtails. She wears a black sleeveless dress that ends mid-thigh. She is capable of summoning a large scythe. Her onyx colored eyes were filled with concern.

Even with their guardians hot on their trail, they still acted like the troublesome girls they are.

"Kanon, I'm faster than you!" Bou grinned.

"This isn't a race, Bou!" Kanon glared.

"Yeah because you'll lose." Bou rolled her eyes.

"Cut it out, you two! Bou, don't you want to win the game?" Miku questioned.

"Yeah. Okay!" Bou's eyes were filled with excitement as she sprinted even faster through the trees. Miku smiled and sped up, too.

"Wait for me!" Kanon joined them.

"Shit!" Yuuki muttered under her breath.

Teruki closed her eyes to think. "If we don't get them back, Orochimaru will be pissed," Teruki spoke.

"Being chased by Teruki and Yuuki is sorta boring," Kanon groaned.

"Your face is boring!" Bou laughed.

"Fuck you." Kanon pouted.

"You will not escape! You three are so in for it!" Yuuki yelled from about thirty feet back.

Miku turned around and stood on a branch. "Miku, what are you doing?!" Kanon screamed. Miku dug her hands into her pouch and pulled out six smoke bombs. She threw them on the ground. Miku grabbed Bou and Kanon by the arms and pulled them into a new direction.

By the time the smoke cleared, the three were gone. "No! Damn it!" Yuuki punched a tree in frustration.

It's been thirty minutes since they've seen or heard from Yuuki and Teruki. The girls finally made it out of the Sound Village's forests and landed on a dirt road. They stopped to look around.

Miku's eyes widened in fear as she frantically looked around. "Where's Bou?!"

Kanon observed their surroundings. After a few seconds she was tackled from the back and pushed onto the ground from behind.

"You're it!" Bou laughed.

"Damn it, Bou! Get off of me!" Kanon screeched.

"But I'm tired of playing tag with Yuuki and Teruki. We already won that game, so I want to play with you," Bou explained.

"We weren't playing tag!" Kanon pushed Bou off and stood up.

"What are you talking about?" Bou tilted her head to the side. "Yes, we are."

"No, you baka!" Kanon screamed.

"T-then why are they chasing us?" Bou asked.

Miku smiled at Bou. "Don't you get it? We're playing hide-and-go-seek," she said, smiling. "And the winner gets a lollipop the size of your head!"

Bou had a smile from one ear to the other. "R-really?!" she exclaimed with joy.

Bou got a huge amount of energy within her in that moment and sprinted down the path. She ran so fast no ninja would even be able to detect her. Kanon gasped and looked over to Miku. "She has to know eventually," she started, "You can't always protect her."

"I know," Miku said sadly, "But I can try." Kanon sighed and ran after Bou.

"Come on you two!" Bou exclaimed. "We need the candy!" Bou waved her arms in the air. Miku laughed and dashed after the two.

Yuuki and Teruki walked down the hallway towards Orochimaru. Teruki gulped and Yuuki sighed. They opened the doors. "Where are they?" Orochimaru asked calmly.

"They… They escaped." Teruki stated with her eyes glued to the floor.

"You lost my most prized possessions? My experiments?" Orochimaru glared, his anger rising by the second.

"They were too fast," Yuuki complained.

"Too fast? You two are my highest ranked ninja! And you allowed them to escape?" Orochimaru stood up.

"We're very sorry," Teruki apologized.

"Sorry won't cut it. Kabuto, escort these ladies out of my lair. It seems I'll have to take matters into my own hands." Orochimaru smirked.

"Miku-chan, I'm tired and hungry," Bou muttered quietly.

"Bou, we know already!" Kanon snapped, twitching in anger. Bou's eyes began to water as a tear traced her cheek. "Would you please just shut up! Bou, honestly! You can be so annoying!" Kanon complained.

"Don't worry, Bou-chan. Kanon-chan is probably just PMSING," Miku whispered with a smirk.

Bou couldn't help but fall to her knees, laughing. Kanon's anger rose with an undiscovered shade of red in her cheeks.

"I heard that!" Kanon yelled, turning redder by the second.

"So! It's probably true!" Bou giggled.

"At least I'm not addicted to candy!" Kanon shouted.

"At least I'm not PMSing!" Bou shot back for the whole world to hear.

"At least I don't shove my things down my shirt!" Kanon yelled even louder, trying to embarrass her.

"Well, at least I don't go for it!" Bou shot back one more time before laughing at her own comeback.

Miku shook her head at Bou's and Kanon's childishness. Kanon even started to laugh at her foolishness. "Aright you two," Miku got their attention, "let's set up camp."
