Chapter 1
"GAARA MOVE NOW!" A female voice yelled from above him.
Gaara looked up and saw a figure clad in all black except for an opening for her eyes. He was confused at who it could've been, but did as she said. At that very moment hundreds of kunai knives came down. He watched as the figure engulfed herself with chakra and went after their enemy. The after shock sent him flying a few yards.
"Gaara are you ok?" Temari asked running up to him followed by Kankuro.
"Yeah I'm fine, but who was that that came?" He asked still shocked.
"I don't know, but she knows you well enough that your sand should've protected you. We met up with her about a mile from here, but there is something about her that is unusually familiar." Kankuro said now helping Gaara to his feet.
"What do you mean?" Gaara asked struggling to get over his injuries.
"Well she knew who we were before even telling us who she was, and then she knew that you were in danger. I mean she's unusual." Temari said awkwardly.
"Then let's not stand around and let her do all the fighting, we need to be her back up." Gaara said and left the support of Kankuro's shoulder.
"Why the hell did you interfere? This isn't you fight!" Kisame, a missing S-class Mist Nin, yelled.
"You and your clan have done enough damage to this place. Besides you're messing with a few friends of mine. Mess with them, you mess with me." She said.
"Heh you're just a little bug that needs to be smashed. Look at you trying to be all just with everything when you know perfectly well that you won't survive."
"Are you sure about that?" She asked with a hidden grin on her face.
"My aren't you a little lippy girl, what's your name girl so I know to say it over your last breath."
"Byakko." The girl said and charged at Kisame again. Kisame grabbed his Samehada in an attempt to shave a body part on Byakko.
"You'll have to do better then that shark boy!" She said taunting Kisame.
"Shut up human!" He said getting a little upset with her. "Be glad that my partner, Itachi Uchiha isn't with me right now. If he was here you would be on your knees begging for mercy."
"I wouldn't count on it." Byakko said and sent a wave of chakra straight at Kisame. She watched as Kisame's blade absorbed her chakra in what sounded like chewing.
"Heh you sure are a dumb little girl to do that."
"What the hell are you doing here in the Sand Village? I already know that they have extracted Gaara's demon, so what do you want with him now?" She yelled while trying to lead Kisame away from any of the villagers.
"Simple, if we can take Gaara again, it will leave the Sand Village unprotected, and it will bring us something that we really want."
"Naruto Uzumaki…" Byakko murmured remembering rumors about the Nine-Tailed Fox boy.
"Well you sure have done your homework, I'll give you that, but that won't help you at all now. One thing you forgot is that I left my partner behind to get Gaara."
Byakko looked behind her at the village in shock and also cursed herself for not thinking about Itachi staying behind to pick off the guards one by one.
"I see that you now have seen your mistake." Kisame said laughing. They both stopped a few meters from each other staring at one another.
"This Itachi Uchiha… he's the one that killed his whole clan?" She asked not moving from her spot.
"Yes. He killed every single one except his pathetic little brother who is now with Orochimaru. I'm sure that you'll love to meet him since he'll be the one to finish you off."
'What? Damn it! Sasuke joined Orochimaru? That damn man has everything planned out from the very beginning.' She said to herself.
At that moment she and Kisame looked off in the distance at where they left Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro, at the blast that sent sand and debris in the air. Byakko didn't think twice and raced back in the direction followed by her assailant behind her. Once she reached the blast area, she saw Kankuro on the ground with blood coming from his right arm. Kisame chuckled and continued on to where more of the debris was coming from.
"Kankuro are you alright?" Byakko asked raising his head slightly.
"Yeah… it's just a cut… I'll be fine." Kankuro said with difficulty.
"Like hell, boy." She said sternly and started to heal his arm. Kankuro stared wide-eyed at her until she was finished. "Come help me get your brother and sister out of danger."
When Kankuro and Kana reached the area that Temari and Gaara where fighting, Byakko saw Gaara on his knees screaming in pain, Temari tied up with Kisame and Itachi staring directly at Gaara.
"Kankuro go help Temari, I'll deal with the other." Byakko said and ran at Itachi.
Once the kunoichi was close to Itachi, she used her kekkei genkai against Itachi. Once it was fully activated against him, Gaara stopped screaming at seemed to try to regain some of his body movements. Itachi turned his full attention to Byakko staring at her with his mangekyo sharingan.
"You're not affected by my mangekyo sharingan?" Itachi asked surprised.
"No… but I saw that you were affected by my jutsu." She said bluntly.
"Who are you?" Itachi asked going back to his regular self.
"You should know because there was only one person in your clan who could stop your sharingan from any damage."
Byakko looked over at Gaara who was now standing unsettlingly staring at her. She looked back Itachi before saying,
"If you ever come to this village again, I will kill you before Sasuke can even touch you."
"Heh so you know my little weakling of a brother?"
"You could say that."
No sooner had he said that, Kisame was on the ground bleeding due to Temari and Kankuro's attacks. Itachi ran over to him and disappeared all together leaving behind destruction, blood, and dug up memories. Byakko watched as Kankuro and Temari walked over, but before they could ask any questions, the kunoichi fell to the ground from exhaustion.
"Help me take her to the doctors." Kankuro said and started to pick her up, but was stopped by Gaara who used his sand to lay her flat and carry her along side them.
"Gaara do you know who exactly she is?" Temari asked once they made it into hospital.
"No…" Gaara said, but continued, "… but there is something very familiar about her, especially since she came and helped us and knew we were in danger with those two."
After the doctors took Byakko back into the Intensive Care area, Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro sat down outside waiting to here if she was going to be all right.
5 hours later
Gaara looked up and saw a doctor come through the door taking his mask off along with his gloves.
"The girl you brought into here is fine now. She had severe drainage of chakra, many torn muscles, and a couple of broken bones, but she'll heal up quiet fine."
"Has she woken up yet?" Temari asked now awake along with Kankuro.
"She has opened her eyes, but is not responsive to us." The doctor said and hesitated, "I believe that she won't speak to anyone despite all our attempts, do you think one of you could get something out of her?"
"I could try… I mean she might say something to me." Temari said and stood up. "If she doesn't, then Kankuro or you, Gaara, will go in next." Temari instructed just like an older sister would.
"Jeez! Right after a battle we get bossed around." Kankuro mumbled.
I hope that you enjoyed this first chapter, and if you have any suggestions, please give them to me. Thanks!
