Please review , even if the story sucks. I want to at least know that people have read my story! Thank you! Once again, please review!


The young girl stared blankly at the older boy in front of her. Her right eye, which was not hers before, but belonged to one of the Uchiha clan, was the legendary sharingan. Her left eye, which was the only one that was hers, was a light blue and grey, somewhat blue, and somewhat grey, making a colour that was indescribable in one word. Her short, boyish back hair was short in the back, yet long bangs framed small, pale face. The boy held out his hand, his grey eyes a bit slitted, yet bright and silvery grey hair rustling in the soft breeze. He held out his hand, his mouth curved in a smile, something the girl hadn't seen in a long time.

"I'm Shin. What's your name?"The boy, Shin, asked. He seemed a few years older than the girl with the sharingan in one eye.

The girl gazed in to Shin's grey eyes, her sharingan eye predicting his thoughts and actions. She bit her lip, unsure to whether she should open her heart to this boy...whether she should trust him with her given name. She blinked once, slowly, taking her time, and yet, Shin was still smiling, his eyes and gestures welcoming and friendly. She finally made her choice.

"My name..."she paused, "Is Yuki."


Yuki stared at the large block of wood in front of her, her view from both eyes joining together, making the scene blurry, then she blinked rapidly, refocusing. Targets carved into the trees around her were all over the place, with no sign of order. She closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath, then she opened them, ready, her sharingan eye glowing red. She covered her eyes with a blindfold, then she leaped in to the air, sliding ten shuriken out of her small bag around her waist, each shuriken was for each wooden target. Yuki spun quickly in the spot in the air, her long hair in the front circling around her head, and her short boyish hair in the back rustling gently in the wind and speed of her spin. Her body was like a top, spinning furiously, then shuriken and blades of ice whipping out of the Yuki top, and striking each target in the center. Yuki let herself fall to the ground, then landed gracefully as a cat. She looked around at the targets, not too satisfied with her work. The shuriken had each gone exactly at the point center, and her blades of ice were slightly off but still on the targets. Yuki suddenly ran up a tree, her chakra helping her feet stick to the trunk, then she hid in the branches. She had sensed someone coming.

"Yuuuuukiiii! Yuuukiii! Yuki! I knew you'd be here-"Shin came running, puffing slightly, then stopped in his tracks when he saw all the targets pierced by shuriken and ice, but no Yuki.

Another boy, who had black hair and ivory onyx eyes was following closely behind Shin. His features were dark, yet his skin was pure and almost white, like a man of Uchiha. The black haired boy was clutching on to something that seemed like a small sketchbook. Yuki stared at the unusual boy with intent eyes. She wondered whether he was a friend or a foe, but his looks resembled greatly of an Uchiha. A small flame of protectiveness flared inside Yuki, then grew bigger. She leaped out of her hiding spot, and in the blink of an eye, was behind the black haired boy with pale skin, holding a shuriken to his neck.

"Who are you?"Yuki growled, her voice dark and dangerous. She was only trying to protect Shin, who was the only person she had any emotions for.

Shin stared at Yuki, probably wondering how she was so fast when she was only ten years old, then said, "Uh... Yuki, please don't try to kill him. He's one of us. His name is Sai and he just joined ROOT."

Yuki blinked rapidly, in confusion, then she bit her lip, embarrassed by herself. Slowly, she removed the shuriken from Sai's neck and stepped back, "Sorry...I thought... you were ... well..."

She didn't want to admit that she thought Sai was an Uchiha judging by his looks. If Sai was just like Shin and herself, then he would also be an orphan, with no parents nor family, just ROOT and Danzo. Yuki disliked the Uchihas greatly, even though she had a small amount of their "royal" blood in her, they did not accept her as their own and mentioned that only a "pure" Uchiha would be welcomed in to their clan. Them and their stupid rules will end up with their elimination, Yuki thought grimly.

"It's fine, really..." Sai clenched on to his sketchbook tightly, staring blankly at the girl's right eye, "Your right eye..." He approached her, unaware that his free hand was reaching for her right cheek.

Yuki quickly stepped back, then approached Shin's side, "It's nothing..."

It had been a few years since Yuki and Shin met, and she had taken a liking to the older boy. She did not have any romantic feelings yet but she felt safer being with Shin than this expressionless black haired and even darker eyed boy. Yuki ignored Shin's surprised face, but couldn't help but gaze at Sai with wonder. She couldn't help but feel a sharp pang in her heart seeing Sai's hurt face when she deliberately moved away from him.


"Sai! Now!" Yuki demanded, diving at the enemy straight on with her ice claws on her kuckles, making her hands shaped similar to the unsheathed claws of a tiger.

Sai nodded, staying silent as he darted to the enemy's side, creating clones of himself with black liquid with his ink manipulation jutsu. He moved his brush one way, then another, creating another ink beast. His jutsu leaped out of the scroll, multiples of all different kinds of beasts charging at the enemy, trapping him.

Yuki slashed at the opposing man with her ice claws, then swung her left arm back, ice clumping on it, making a huge club like arm. She swung her arm-club down to the enemy, not realizing that the opposer's fire jutsu was heading right toward her.

"Yuki!" Sai yelled, then the lions of ink jumped down at the enemy as Sai grabbed on to Yuki's waist, pulling her out of the way of the fire ball jutsu. Yuki blushed slightly, his arm wrapped around her waist as he carried her to a nearby tree, she pointed her finger to the opposer's head, using the chance of delusion to cast a spell that will lock him in his own dreams.

"It's over," Yuki whispered ever so quietly, her sharigan eye throbbing as her jutsu launched. The genjustu hit its mark just when the opposing man looked her straight in the eye, he collapsed, unable to move nor escape from her jall of mental hell.

Sai leaped on top the branch of a very tall yet sturdy tree, setting her down lightly. Immediately, they looked away from each other, both Yuki and Sai's faces blushing deeply. Yuki struggled to say something, then took in a deep breath, and let it out, gathering her confidence.

"Uh... good work... thanks for saving me," She muttered, avoiding eye contact with her teammate as she jumped down from the tree, landing next to the fallen enemy.

"No problem..." Sai whispered back, fidgeting with his scroll and brush, then finally tucking them away in the small bag on his back. He stared down a her, then tensed, ready to follow, then was interrupted by an ANBU coming straight towards them.

Also surprised by the ANBU, Yuki turned toward the masked man,"Is there something wrong? What's the matter?"

"Shin..." the ANBU paused, his mask veiling the person underneath, "Shin is about to die."
