Kurami: She's a 12 year old girl that has no memory of her past of when she was 10 and younger. She has lived on her own since then, causing trouble anywhere she goes. She's pretty carefree and is a pacifist... unless you tick her off :D. She doesn't have any friends or family therefore goes around following people and observing them. She doesn't think herself as a human, since she never actually felt human enough. She doesn't think she's from a certain place or thinks of place of belonging, but at the same time believes she simply belongs to the world to just live her life. She is usually very patient and tolerant of most things, but hates being told what to do. She's not at all shy and loves speaking out her mind without any hesitation. (Unless someone VERY intimidating shows up) :o

"Baka! Get lost!"

I ran out the restaurant as fast as I could as the pots and pan came out flying. I ducked for the ones that were meant for my head and escaped out of sight from the yelling restaurant owner and other customers.

Geez, I thought to myself, it's so damn difficult to get a good meal these days with them stingy owners. Food wasn't even worth it.

I jumped on the top of the buildings and looked over Konoha village, the Village Hidden in the Leaves. The Hokages' heads' never seemed bigger. I then sat down and ate the rice ball I managed to save from the disaster. I looked down at my bare feet, although I hated shoes therefore walked everywhere and anywhere bare-footed, they were still nice. The wind kept blowing my long, black hair, that reached down to my waist, into my face as I took nibbles from my food. I got mad and moved it aside.

After I finished, I stood back up and patted my tummy,"Well, that was pretty satisfying."

I looked farther out and looked down at the road. From the end of the street, a boy, no age younger or older than me, was walking suspiciously out of a hotel. He had a large weird looking shape thing on his back and had red hair. Curiousity got the best of me so, without being detected, I got closer to him to better my view.

He was slightly short, but barely taller than me, and his eyes were surrounded in black, his greenish-blue eyes. He had bright red hair, and the figure on this back was a gourd with black symbols. He caught my attention so I continued to follow him. He was heading towards the village's hospital.

I didn't understand why out of everyone I chose him. Usually I'd choose someone that was causing a lot of drama. I didn't understand why I was so much more interested than usual either. His aurora felt strong, but it was very dreary too. However, I felt some kind of happiness lost inside.

Once he was inside the hospital, I jumped down and walked inside. It was empty and I didn't feel like being inside since hospitals make me feel sick surrounded by sick people . . So I walked outside and jumped on the windowsills. I went to the one where I sensed the boy's prescence and since it was on the top floor I was able to sit on the roof.

"Stay out of my way, or I will kill you," I heard him say in a monotone, yet threatening voice. I peeked slightly, he was standing next to another boy who layed motionless in a bed, and across two other boys, one with blonde hair, the other with black.

I quickly sat back up and jumped off. Whatever was going on, didn't interest me anymore. But the boy... still...

I watched him and I kept following him. He walked into a dark alley and I followed on the roof nearby. He said in a grim voice,"I know you've been following me. It is pointless to continue. Show yourself now."

I jumped down in front him,"Hiya!"

He seemed startled a bit by my appearance. "I'm Kurami, nice to meet you." :D

By his facial expression, I knew he expected a shinobi to be following him, rather than a girl with nothing but a small white dress. He studied me and asked,"What do you want?"

"Nothing. I just saw you and, well, you seemed pretty interesting. Besides, I don't have much to do so this is pretty normal for me."

"Leave me alone,"he said turning his back to me,"You're beginning to annoy me. I will kill you if you do."

I jumped over him and poked his chest,"Look, pal, you don't tell me what I do. It's not like I want to be part of your scummy life, I just he want to know what kind of life people live."

"Why is that?"

I moved around slyly and rested my hands on his shoulder,"Why not? I don't have any friends.. I'm lonely, yes, but I don't mind. I'd rather just watch the world go by rather than live in its current. You shinobi do nothing but destroy lives and the nature around you with your battles and wars. As if I'd like to do that."

"Killing...is...my purpose in this life," he looked coldly at me.

I smirked,"That's a pretty lame purpose. My purpose, what I believe my purpose is, is to be a nuisance. And it's a pretty fun purpose. Besides, if all you do is go around killing people and later the whole world's population, what good will it do if you'll be the only one living?"

He looked at me with anger in his eyes, but I smiled and poked him again. Sand began to come out of his gourd. I looked at him, amazed. The sand began to gather around me and it began to compact tightly around me like a sphere. I smiled at him and the sand began to fall apart. A shock came to his eyes,"Wh-what?"

"Awww," I pouted. "I thought something cool was about to happen. Guess not. Such a disappointment."

"Wh-who are you?" he said, looking at his hands, shaking.

"Me? Baka, were you not paying attention? I told you my name is Kurami. I live nowhere and I'm from everywhere." I rolled my eyes. He began to observe my every movements like I was going to attack him. I noticed it,"I'm not going to hurt you, if that's what you're watching out for. I got no intention of taking another life. Besides, you interest me. There would be no reason for me to kill my entertainment. By the way, now that you know my name, it's only fair to know yours."

"Why would I do that?" he said growling. I smiled,"Because it's only fair."

"If I tell you, would you get out of my way?"

"Hmmm... tempting... forget it. It's not like knowing who you are makes a difference,"I smirked. I jumped back up to the roof and took off into the forest. From the corner of my eye, I saw him simply watch me leave. For the rest of the day, I kept thinking of him, which I don't normally do with the people I follow. (Stalker much o.o)

How strange of him to have "Love" on his forehead. If he's going to have that, he might as well as try to not be so shallow. Not that I care.

To try to take him out of my mind, I returned to my home hidden in the middle of the forest right in between Suna and Konoha. :D

Little did I know, that the encounter with the stranger would later make my carefree life, a bit more...troublesome and ... less boring (me:and less lonely :D - kurami : -.-)
