Chapter 1:
The Daughter of the Crystal
It was a peaceful morning in the little village of Kanoha. The sun had just rose over the east gates as a group of chunin headed up to the training grounds as usual. The group consisted of Neji, Rock Lee, Tenten, Kiba and Akamaru, and Shino. As they headed to the training grounds, Neji noticed a figure already there.
"I don't know who...or what is already there, but whatever it is, it has a large amount of chakara and by my senses, it's not afraid to use it." Neji thought to himself. He was not the only one to pick up this strange presence. Akamaru started to whimper as he hid down in Kiba's jacket.
"What is it, boy?? Kiba asked the dog, who in reply, sniffed the air and whimpered more.
"Hey, guys. Akamaru says that there is already someone out there. And by the judge of things...whoever it is, is strong. let's be real careful." Kiba said. "Man, i don't have a good feeling about this." he thought. As the group got closer, the figure became noticeable. It was a girl about Neji's age with long black hair that touched her waist. She was wearing a black mini skirt, showing off the crimson skin tight shorts underneath. She had fishnet down her entire left leg and the right leg was wrapped down to the ankle with bandages. She also wore a crimson kimono style shirt with a crystal heart embroidered on the back in black thread. Her complete left arm was bandaged and half of her right arm was also wrapped up. She wore her head protector on her left arm. Shino and Kiba's jaws dropped to the ground. Neji just stared.
The girl turned around and noticed the group. She smiled at them, signaling that she was not going to hurt them. Neji was the first to walk up to her. followed closely by Rock Lee.
"You are filled with such wonderful beauty. Please be mine and i will protect you with all my life." Lee said, causing the girl to shake violently.
"Sorry, I have my eyes on someone." she said sweetly. Kiba snickered. "Did you mutter something back there, dog boy?" She asked as she glared at Kiba.
"No." Kiba said.
"Hi, I'm Tenten. I've not seen you around here lately. Are you new here?" Tenten asked.
"Hello, Tenten. My name is Ashurii Suishou. I'm actually from here. I'm a chunin. I've been away training by order of my uncle." she said.
"that last name. Are we related? Who's her uncle? " Neji thought. "I'm Neji Hyuga. If you don't mind my asking, Who's your uncle?" He asked.
"Hyuga? No!!! It can't be!!!! Brother?" Ashurii thought. " My uncle's name is Hiashi." she replied. Neji stopped dead in his tracks.
"I am Kanoha's Handsome Devil, Rock Lee." Lee said, breaking the silence.
"I'm Shino, but you already know me. we live next door to each other." Shino said. Ashurii smiled at Shino.
"I'm glad to meet you all. Shino, if you will, stop by my apartment later. I want to talk to you about something." She said. Shino nodded. "I really must go. Uncle will be wanting to talk to me. Have a good day." She said as she vanished in a puff of smoke.
"She seems nice." Tenten said as they all agreed.
"Is she really related to her? Is that my lost sister? Father always said I had an older sister once. I wonder if that was really her? I must talk to Uncle immediately." Neji thought. "Hey, guy, I'll be back in a few minutes. I forgot to get something." He said as he took off in the direction of his home.
"Uncle, I'm back..." there was no reply. "...Uncle where are you?" She said as she kept looking throughout the house. Neji walked into the house and heard her calling for her uncle.
He followed her voice until he found her crying over a body. His heart sank.
"Uncle...please...not you too...first Father, then Mother, and now you...please, Uncle Hiashi wake up..." Ashurii cried. Neji sat down next to his hated uncle, which scared Ashurii for a minute. He went outside the room and called for two ANBU black ops to come get his uncle's corpse. Once the body was gone, Neji had time to talk to Ashurii.
"Ashurii, if you don't mind me asking, what was your mother's name?" Neji asked. She looked up at him for a moment, then looked back at the spot where she found her uncle minutes before.
"My mother's name before marriage was Onkei Suishou. Then she married Hizashi and had me...then she had my brother, whom i never met because the Hyuga clan dislike my mother because she was not a blood relative, so she took me and left. What about you?" She asked almost angelic like.
"Well, i never knew my mother. Father said she left while I was still very young. My father's name was Hizashi before his own brother killed him. I never knew my mother's side of the family." Neji said. An ANBU black op came in and told the two that their presence was requested by the Hokage. They got up and headed directly to see the hokage.
"Lady Hokage, you wish to see us, sir?" Neji said as he entered.
"Yes, but first, where is Ashurii at currently?" the Fifth asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I'm right here, M'Lady." She said as she followed Neji in the door. She was followed by a tall man with long, white, rather messy hair.
"Well, have a seat you two. This is going to take a while." The Hokage said. Ashurii and Neji sat down in the two leather black chairs in front of her desk.
"Who do we have here, Tsunade? And why did you send for me? I don't have anything to do with these two. Naruto's waiting for me, so we can start his training." The man said. the hokage looked at him with a real angry look on her face.
"Jiraiya, you moron, this is Ashurii Suishou and you should already know Neji Hyuga. Does that tell you why you were called here?" Tsunade said angrily. The man named Jiraiya stood there for a minute the had an epiphany.
"Oh, Yeah!!!! OK. never mind." He said,scratching the back of his head, a habit he picked up from Naruto. The Fifth punched him in the face.
"Now, where was I? OK. Ashurii, Neji, you two are siblings. Ashurii, you never knew your father and Neji, you never knew you mother, am i correct?" Tsunade asked. The two nodded.
" Just what i thought. Now, the reason for this is because Onkei was strongly disliked by the Hyuga clan when Hizashi married her. For a while they overlooked the disapproval. Then Onkei had Ashurii and all Hell broke loose at the Hyuga manor. It was not safe for them to stay there, so they got their own apartment, in which Ashurii lives in now. About two months after that Onkei found out she was pregnant again. Then obviously Neji was born. The Hyugas' found out about Neji's birth and they started to harass and mug Onkei so your father thought it safe to send Onkei off with Ashurii to insure their safety. Then he took Neji back to the Hyuga manor to live. The rest of the Hyugas got used to Neji. Then Onkei came back to Kanoha because of an illness, which eventually caused her death. Hizashi was there by her side, along with Jiraiya and I, when she told us that she wanted you two to met each other one day. Not long after that, Hizashi was killed. So, Jiraiya and I are keeping our promise to the Crystal Ninja and letting her children finally meet." Tsunade finally ended. Ashurii said nothing as she thought about what was just said. Neji was not really shocked, but somewhat enraged from the fact that after 15 1/2 years, nobody at the Hyuga house told him that he had a sister.
"You two, now that you know the truth, you must watch out for each other. I don't want either of you killed. Got it?" Tsunade said.
"Yes, Lady Hokage." Neji said, looking at his sister.
"Yes, Tsunade." Ashurii said, returning Neji's look.
"Jiraiya here will be watching over you from time to time to make sure you two don't kill each other. You may go." Tsunde said, dismissing them from her office. As they left, Jiraiya walked over to Tsunade, who was staring out her window.
"Are you sure this was a good Idea to tell them right now? With all the Akatsuki stuff happening? Won't that make Ashurii and Neji more of a target?" Jiraiya asked.
"Well, they were going to find out one way or another. Where were they found by the ANBU this morning?" She asked.
"They Hyuga manor. Hiashi was found dead by Ashurii. And then Neji found her crying over his body. That's how the ANBU found them." Jiraiya said.
"Well, Ashurii is one of our best chunin right now, so we can't afford to lose her because of some secret. and Neji can take care of himself, but he wouldn't stand a chance against Uchiha Itachi or that Deidara character. So i found it best to tell them now, so they can start to train each other. physically and mentally." Tsunade said.
As Ashurii and Neji walked to the training ground, they got to know each other a little better.
"So, i know this is a completely random question, but did you ever think that you had any siblings?" Neji asked her. She was silent for a minute before replying.
"Somewhere in my heart, i knew i did, but after mother died, i thought that it was a lost cause, because i knew nothing about my father's side of the family. I didn't know where to look. What about you? did you think that you had a sister?" Ashurii asked as she smiled at her newly found brother.
"My father, well, our father, told me when I was 5 that i had a sister, but he didn't know where mother was, so he told me that one day i should look for her. Which is a reason i became a shinobi. What did Tsunade mean by 'Crystal Ninja'?" Neji asked.
"Well, mother's elements were earth and fire. She mixed her elements and created a crystal element. She then became the Crystal nin. which is ironic because Suishou means Crystal. I never experimented with it." She said, looking up at the sun, which was now high in the sky. Once they got to the training grounds, Neji met up with the rest of the chunin and introduced Ashurii to them as his sister. They proceeded with their training.
"Hey, sis, try to mix your elements." Neji said. She nodded then formed a hand sign. Her chakara formed around her body in a red color, then a green color. somehow, they created a light purple when they mixed. She did some more hand signs.
"Shadow clone jutsu!" She said as replicas of her appeared. They were no ordinary clones. Neji followed the move, giving her something to try out the clones' abilities. Ashurii's clones had a shine to them, as if they were made of glass. One of her clones hit one of Neji's. Neji's clone shattered as if it was just a glass statue.
"That's different" Tenten said. Then she thought a minute. "Are you related to the Crystal nin, if you don't mind me asking."
"Yeah, she was my mother. why do you ask?" Ashurii asked.
"Try using the hand signs Rat, Ox, Tiger, Ox, Rabbit, Tiger. Keep your crystal chakara, though. If this works like it should, this will be really pretty, but really dangerous to the enemy." Tenten said.
"Why are you trying to get her to do Fire style: Pheonix Flower Jutsu?" Shino asked.
"Well, like i said, If it works, it won't be Fire style. It will be Crystal style. My mother grew up with the Crystal nin. said it was her favorite attack." Tenten said. Ashurii tried it.
"Crystal Style: Pheonix Flower Jutsu!" she said. The attack was not as it would have been if it was fire style. This jutsu created a giant crystal rose in the air. Tsunade was able to see it from he office window.
"Now, aim it toward that tree." Tenten said as she pointed to a huge tree. Ashurii did and the crystal rose went flying toward the tree at a high speed. When it hit the tree, Tenten yelled, "Duck" as shuriken shaped Crystal pieces went flying in every direction. There was a lot of smoke due to the attack. Once the smoke cleared, everybody looked over at the tree, well, where the tree should have been, that is if it was still standing.
"That jutsu destroyed the tree!!!" Kiba said in shock.
"I see why that was mother's favorite jutsu."Ashurii said with a smirk on her face. Neji was laughing at Kiba's shock.
"Ashurii, I have a Hyuga family technique i want to teach you before you start using that on missions." Neji said, Smiling at his sister. Ashurii nodded. About that time, Jiraiya came over to the training ground.
"What was all that commotion about? I thought Tunade said not to kill each other?" He said before realizing that nothing had happened between the siblings.
"I was learning a new jutsu Tenten was telling me about. want to see it, Jiraiya?" Ashurii asked.
"Sure. Just tell me what to do and where to stand when i need to do it." Jiraiya said.
"Okay. you might want to get some distance first, and when Tenten yells duck, i suggest you duck. got it?" Ashurii said almost Tsunade like.
"Yeah, i got it." he said as he got back about 100 yards with the rest of them. Ashurii did the hand signs.
"Crystal Style: Pheonix Flower Jutsu!" She then said as the giant crystal rose reappeared. Ashurii aimed it at a tree. as it started to speed toward the tree Tenten yelled "Duck" and everyone ducked to where they could still see the jutsu. As it did what it was supposed to do
and the smoked cleared, Jiriaya was in shock.
"You mastered that on the first try?" He said in astonishment. "That took Onkei months to learn" he thought.
"Yep." she said smiling.
"Neji, you know what you must teach her next to make that more effective of an attack, right?"Jiraiya asked
"Yes, i do. I will begin training her tomorrow, sir." Neji said. "but first, we must see if she has the blood limit. Hey, sis, come here."
"Okay?" She said questioningly as she got up and walked over to him. "What?"
"Try to get your chakara to focus in your eyes and then attempt to use the Byakugan." Neji said. Ashurii put her hands in the tiger hand seal and focused her chakara.
"Byakugan!!!" she said as she opened her eyes revealing a purple shade in her iris. "Neji, why can i see everything in a 360 degree area? and why are there lines on your body that keep flashing blue?" Ashurii asked.
"She has the Byakugan...so this is Onkei and Hizashi's daughter after all. I had my doubts." Jiraiya thought to himself.
"Well, sis, that is my chakara network. you can see everybody's. when you learn to read the network you can tell how strong an enemy really is. the Byakugan allows you to see everything around you and enables you to see enemy attacks before they happen, unless its a counter attack." Neji said. "You need that for the jutsu I am going to teach you." He said as she let her eyes go back to the crimson color they were.
"Well, that's cool." Ashurii said. Kiba was standing there in amazement, staring at the two. Akamaru jumped out of Kiba's jacket and ran over to Ashurii and licked her face when she bent down to pet him.
"You've gained his approval." Kiba said as he walked over to her smiling.
"What's his name?" Ashurii asked.
"His name is Akamaru. Oh, I'm Kiba by the way. I'm sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I was kinda spaced out." Kiba said. "God, she's hot!!! Who's she got her eye on?" he thought.
"That's okay. It happens to me a lot." She said. "I wonder if he's got a girlfriend?" she thought to herself.
