A sigh left the girls lips as she read a note posted to her door. Basically it was "ordering" her to come and help out with a mission, but behind the scenes, she knew it was also saying, "We are too scared to ask you in person".

The girls name was Uma Minako. She had a very negitive reputation in the sand village. Since she was young people have feared her, and they had all right. She was nicknamed "The Village Psycho." It wasn't her fault though; her father was the one who lead her to insanity...

Another sigh left her lips as she slowly crept downstairs and out the front door before her bat-shit insane father caught sight of her. The note asked her to be at the gates at eight am, it was ten to. She rushed through the streets to meet up with a group of Jounin she recognized from when she graduated. However, there was one guy who caught her eye; he was brand new to her. People around her stepped away as she slowly walked toward the leader of the mission.

"Didn't have the guts to talk to me in person? Pathetic." She told him coldly.

"W-we are sorry... Minako... um... w-we will ask in person next time..." The leader told her nervously.

"Yeah, right! You say that everytime!" Minako yelled, her luminous aqua eyes filled of anger.

"L-Let's just go..." The leader said as he turned and left the gates.

Minako held herself back to the end of the group as they all ran through the sand village. As she looked to her left, she noticed that the new guy, was almost right beside her.

"Who are you?" She asked him coldly.

"That's none of your business." The mysterious man said.

Minako hissed at the male. "I would watch how you talk to me..."

"I have no rules." He replied, keeping his eyes set ahead.

"Clearly you have no idea who I am." She stated, irritated.

"It's mutual." The guy shrugged.

Minako rolled her eyes as she gave up fighting; she was too busy drooling over the thought of enemy blood dripping down her throat.

"Minako Uma...huh."

Minako's eyes snapped in the mans direction; no one knew her by her actual name, only her nickname. "H-How the hell do you know me?" She questioned him.

"Why wouldn't I?" He asked.

"Because no one knows me by anything more then, "The Village Psycho"."

"I don't go by nicknames given by reputations."

"Still, that doesn't explain how you knew..."

"And I said why shouldn't I?"

Minako shrugged; her eyes looking back ahead. Had she known there would be ninja like this on the team, she never would have gone.

The mission itself was fairly simple, maybe even more simply had Minako been sent on her own. The sand Jounin were being sent to the Mist village to assinate a man by the name of Koro Tiniko. The only problem was, no one knew his appearence. All the villages have been on a watch for this guy, each trying to assinate him; this was Suna's first attempt. Their mission was to find this guy, and assinate him stealthily without detection and return to the village immediately. He wasn't claimed to be a ninja, so it wouldn't be that hard, right?

As the sun began to set, the group of ninja decided to take a break in a small cave. Minako took watch as the others slept; she always felt best at night anyway. With a sigh she watched into the darkness; her eyes glowing. Minako suddenly heard steps from behind her; her head snapped around to see the new guy; she sighed.

"Go to sleep, you'll need it." She told him; her eyes falling back toward the sky.

"Trust me, I don't." He said in response.

Minako breathed out slowly as she looked back toward him. "Can you tell me your name now?"

"I know yours, shouldn't you know mine?" The man chuckled deeply.

She found herself giggling at his comment before she caught herself; Minako Uma never giggles! "W-well, I wouldn't be asking if I knew it..."

The man studied her body movements and then said, "Hibiki."

"Hibiki?" She echoed, almost shocked by how quiet her voice was.

"Hibiki Hiroshimo." Hibiki stated.

Her glowling eyes narrowed. "Why couldn't you have said that earlier then?"

"Thought I would make you wait." He snickered.

Minako sighed deeply, trying to remain relaxed. "I... see..."

"Your mind is slipping, isn't it?" Hibiki asked, an eyebrow raised.

Minako's eyes flickered with pure anger. "Lay off..." She ordered.

Hibiki smirked as he took a step closer. "You can feel it; the anger is rising, and something is rising up in you, taking over almost. You know what's going to happen, but you're trying to hold it off. Am I correct?"

Minako hopped off the rock she had been sitting on to back away from Hibiki. It felt like he was stepping over a line, and she couldn't take that feeling. "G-Go away!" She shrieked in fear.

Hibiki quickly lurched forwards and took Minako into his arms, his hand gripping her chin and folding her head backwards so that he could look into her eyes. "I can see it in your eyes." He said as he narrowed his eyes.

Minako panicked as she jumped back. Her stance became defensive as her eyes widened with lust. "I warned you, boy!" She yelled as her eyes narrowed.

Hibiki let his hands fall to his side as he studied her attentively. Her expression he could feel impressing upon his conscience. With one subtle smirk, he turned around and waved before entering back into the cave.

Minako's anger seemed to fade as she slumped against the wall of the cave. "Wh-what... h-happened?" She asked herself out loud; she had never gained consciousness without being covered in blood.

'Interesting.' Hibiki watched from the darkness of the cave as Minako gained stability and returned irratedly to her look-out post.

By early morning the group was back out and heading toward the Mist village. Minako starred at Hibiki's back nervously. 'Why wasn't I covered in his blood last night? I don't understand it...?'

"Take a picture, it'll last longer." Hibiki called to Minako.

Minako's eyes widened as she diverted her gaze to the ground. 'What is up with that guy!' She asked herself.

"So, how come you were put on this mission, Hibiki?" Daichi, the leader, asked as he looked over his shoulder at the man.

"Shouldn't you know?" Hibiki replied.

"Unfortunately, the Kazekage did not tell me, he just commanded me to include you."

"Then you need not ask if you're not at liberty." Hibiki smirked.

Daichi growled as he turned back to lead on. "It's just as easy to say that you're Koro Tiniko." Daichi called back.

"Then your Kazekage doesn't know very well, does he? You should just leave be what is and do your job. I have a certain job that I am supose to accomplish." Hibiki said before starting to ignore Daichi.

The leader just growled giving up.

As the group proceeded further and further, they could feel eyes on them.

"Daichi, we need fight," A Jounin told the leader.

"I know, but we can't all stop." He stated.

"What if we only left Minako behind?"

The leader looked at the Jounin with widened eyes. "She will kill the enemy."

"I know, but, why is that a bad thing?"

Daichi sighed as he moitioned for the Jounin run ahead and lead the rest. Daichi stopped and waited for Minako.

"Minako," He said slowly.

"What is it?" She asked instantly, not even looking at him.

"W-we are being followed I-"

"I am aware of that. I was wondering when you were going to do something about it."

The leader shivered. "W-well, we were ah-"

"Hoping I'd stay behind and kill them for you guys? Jeez... talk about using... yeah, I'll do it and catch up." Minako hissed.

The leader nodded nervously. "We are counting on you, Minako." He quickly jumped back ahead as Minako stopped all together and faced the opposite direction, waiting for the enemy. 'At least I'll get my blood fix now...'

"Daichi, I'm staying behind. No questions, just keep going." Hibiki started to slow down but the leader slowed down as well.

"It'll be alright, Hibiki. Minako can handle it on her own. No need gettnig caught in the mess." Daichi stated.

"I know, but I want to stay and see." Hibiki shrugged.

"I'm not kidding, Hibiki. You're just committing suicide by staying behind." Daichi said, concern clear through his voice.

"I said I'm staying behind." Hibiki gave Daichi a serious look.

"And I'm putting my foot down and saying no. Kazekage invested all of your lives into my hands and that is my job." Daichi said before picking up the pace.

"And I am not held by your rules. If you're angry about it, you'll have to address the Kazekage when we return. I suggest you not get in my way." Hibiki said before slowing to catch up with Minako.

Minako's eyes glanced behind her. "Get lost, Hibiki... I am dangerous when I am fighting..."

"Do I look like I care?" Hibiki asked before laughing.

Minako growled. "I-I don't want to hurt someone innocent... n-never again... j-just go..." She begged.

"I won't let you hurt me, Minako." Hibiki smirked. "I'm not stupid."

Minako sighed deeply. "Hibiki... I am begging you... I am unpredictable..."

"Again, I am not stupid. Besides, I won't get in the way." Hibiki said and sighed.

Minako gave in. "Fine... but if I hurt you... i-it's not my fault..."

"I won't hold it against you." Hibiki laughed. His eyes suddenly narrowed as he whispered, "right" to Minako.

Minako followed his word and turned to her right. She pulled a kunai from her pouch and pounced at the man, taking him off balence as she sliced his throat. Her head snapped up as the lustful look took over her again. She did a backflip and landed on another man, taking him down as she threw away her kunai and bit into his throat ripping away flesh.

Hibiki jumped into the tree above and looked down with curiousity at the now insane Minako. He knew a fair amount about her, but he had never seen her truly in action. He knew she was dubbed "The Village Psycho" and now he knew why; even then, she still remained as Minako to him - he knew why she was this way, and he couldn't hold it against her no matter what.

Within mintues the large group of ninja that had been following Minako and the others, laid in pools of their own blood. Minako licked her lips as she feel to her knees gasping. Her eyes looked at her hands as she began to cry.

"Why can't I stop this!" She cried loudly as she tried to wipe away the blood.

Hibiki watched as the tears fell from Minako's eyes. After a moment, he gently slipped to the ground and slowly approached Minako. "It isn't your fault, Minako." Hibiki muttered gently.

Her eyes lifted to glance at Hibiki. "Y-You aren't scared ... of me?" She asked weakly as she wiped at her tears.

Hibiki laughed softly. "You're only sixteen. Why should I be afraid? Now, if you were maybe sixty years old, ripping open a bunch of twenty-thirty year olds throats, I might be a little concern. Although, I find it amusing that a group that big couldn't defend against you. ... Interesting." Hibiki rubbed his chin as he looked around at all the blood and bodies.

Minako found herself laughing at his comment. Slowly she pulled herself to her feet and walked over to one of the dead men, stealing a bottle of water that had been on him and opened it letting it wash over her to wash away most of the blood from her skin. "Th-thank you, Hibiki." She mumbled quietly, almost hoping he hadn't heard her.

"No problem, Minako. One thing I'll let you in on so you have security; I don't judge people on what they're like, I know what you've been through and what you're dealing with so I can't blame you. If you had no reason, the psycho nickname may stick - but once again, I don't go by the reputation given nicknames, I find them pathetic." Hibiki smirked before turning around and running to catch up with the rest of the group.

Minako stood in awe at Hibiki's reteating form. "Wh-why... M-Mother... I wish you were here... I-I don't understand..." Minako sighed deeply as she wiped away several tears that had fallen before running after Hibiki to also catch up with the others.
