Chapter 1: Just the Beginning
Seven Years Ago
"Mom! Stop!" she shouted.
"Rina, dear, I have to comb out your hair. It's full of knots!"
"Why? What's the point? It'll look the same."
"Honey, we take a family picture every year. The Teochi family always sends a picture to the others who live on the South side. We have sent one since the year you were born."
"Then why don't we have a picture with Dad?" she mumbled.
"Your father…he was captured the day before you were born. Orochimaru is the only person I hate, mainly because he took your father. Now come on. I'm done with your hair, and it's time for the picture."
"Akki!" Rina shouted, "It's time for the picture!"
"I'm coming! Good, you're wearing that special kimono we bought you," Akki said, looking at the blue and green kimono with flowered sleeves.
Akki was dressed in a long, lavender kimono with short sleeves and a jade necklace. Their mother was dressed in a long, bright red kimono with a gold garter.
The three got in front of the camera and got the portrait, and the whole time Rina thought about her father. He was captured and killed by Orochimaru, and she couldn't think about anything else.
When they got home, Rina had a strange feeling in her body. She knew why, but she hated it.
"I'm tired of this. Mom, why doesn't this happen to Akki?" she said.
There was an old legend about a woman who was called Hell's Angel. She was a killer, destroying people sometimes just for fun. She killed millions in her lifetime, and she finally died after she was captured. Of course, as some don't believe, there is a Heaven and Hell. As I hope you'd expect, she went to Hell. In Heaven, those who truly deserve to be there are called angels. In Hell, she was an Angel. Of course, that's where she got her name. This legend was real, and the woman who was Hell's Angel happened to be Rina's grandmother. When Rina was born, a piece of her grandmother's soul was put inside her. Her grandmother can control her a bit sometimes, and she hates it. The odd feeling was created when her grandmother wanted to control her or tell her something.
"You know why this happens. She chose you. You were special to her."
Her grandmother gave her special powers. She can even change Rina's form to look like her own, although she only did it for defensive reasons. If it's bad enough, Rina's grandmother will protect her, using Rina's body, of course. Still, there was much more for her to find out.
The Teochi family was unable to use Genjutsu, and they were masters of Earth Ninjutsu. Taijutsu was okay, but Rina was a master. She could also use weapons very well. There was still one thing: She couldn't control her grandmother's will.
