Title: The Shadow Dragon Clan
Summary: A genin of young age who carries on her father's unrealized dream of beating Kakashi, of whom he was a friend and rival. She is a genin, as are the other two girls of her team; their mission had prevented them from participating in the chuunin exam, despite their obvious chuunin-level skills.
(Okay my apologies to all readers who like the pairing Sasuke x Sakura but I'm really not fond of that pairing. I know many people don't like this but Sasuke will be paired with my character.)
Chapter 1: An Old Acquaintance Returns!
Summary: Title self-explanatory.
A group of ninjas entered the Hidden Leaf Village. This group had been on a mission for three months. Walking among them were three young girls who looked to be about thirteen, with masks covering their faces.
"All right, time to start training," said Kakashi. He and team seven were in their usual training place, a clearing by the bridge where they meet. Suddenly a kunai was thrown and Kakashi dodged it by an inch.
"What?! Who threw that?" exclaimed Naruto, looking all around. A ninja wearing a mask jumped down from a near by tree.
"Kakashi, your time is up," the ninja hissed. The ninja got into a fighting stance and then quickly advanced towards Kakashi. The ninja was surprisingly quick and Kakashi couldn't disarm her right away. After about five minutes he managed to knock the kunai out of her hands and send her backwards.
"Damn I still can't beat you, Kakashi, after a year and three months," complained the ninja.
"Huh?" said Sakura. Sasuke then realized the voice was that of a girl.
"So you've returned, and are still fooling around with that mask, I see," Kakashi said.
"Old habits die hard, I guess" the girl said.
"Umm, Kakashi-sensei, WOULD YOU MIND TELLING US WHO THIS IS?!" Naruto yelled impatiently.
"Oh, sorry. This is Nicki, an old friend of mine," he said. The girl removed her mask. She had pale skin and hazel eyes. Her light brown hair was tied back into a ponytail. She then started to walk away.
"Hmm, nice girl; doesn't even introduce herself," said Sakura.
"Nah she probably has to go see Lord Hokage," said Kakashi. Sasuke was being his quiet self and thinking.
Nicki entered Lord Hokage's office.
"Ah, welcome back. I see that you've completed your mission successfully," Lord Hokage said. He then looked down at her ninja registration. Two girls entered the room to stand along the side of Nicki.
"Good work on your mission," he congratulated them, looking up from his paper work at the three girls. Nicki stood in the middle. The girl to her right had the same color hair as Nicki. Her eyes were chocolate brown. She was known as Stevie Hosokoawa. To Nicki's left was a girl with indigo black hair hanging down to her chin. Her eyes were a deep green. Her name was Kira Nanba.
"Where is your sensei?" Hokage asked.
All three of them shrugged their shoulders when someone said, "I'm right here."
The girls looked to the door. A man with jet-black hair tied in a low ponytail and sparkling blue eyes was standing in the door. His name was Keitaro Nakamura.
"Well, you're all dismissed," Hokage said.
The group of four walked out.
"Okay, training tomorrow at seven sharp," Keitaro said.
"Why do we half to have training right after we get back, Keitaro-sensei?" Stevie asked.
"Because I said so," he said, laughing as he walked away.
"Don't worry, Stevie, we'll fix his wagon tomorrow," Nicki encouraged as the three walked out the Hokage's office. The three girls turned in separate directions as they all went to their homes.
Nicki walked with her pack to her apartment. It was pretty big and yet Nicki was the only one who lived there. She fished out the key and opened the door. It was a little dusty but still the same. The entire floor was hardwood floor. She put down her pack on the couch of the living room. She got soap, a bucket and a few sponges out of the hall closet and began to clean. She cleaned everywhere you could think of. When she was finished the apartment seemed to be spotless.
"Well, that's out of the way," Nicki sighed, putting away the cleaning supplies. "Now to the market and then home for the night," she said, locking her apartment. She walked into the town looking at her list she had made. After getting the things she needed. Nicki walked into the Yamanaka flower shop. She got a bunch of lilies and than left. Nicki returned to her apartment. She put all the things she got away in their respected places before turning to the clock. She gathered up the lilies and left once more.
Nicki walked into the forest until she reached her destination. It was the memorial to those brave shinobi who were killed in action. Nicki placed the lilies down and ran her fingers across two names. They were the names of her parents: Naomi and Akiyama Kagetatsu.
Chapter2: Revenge on Keitaro-Sensei: You're going to pay for making us get up early
Summary: Title self-explanatory
The bright rays of sunshine found their way into Nicki's room. She opened her eyes and let them adjust to the light. Then she swung her legs over the bed. She stretched before getting up and taking a shower. When Nicki emerged from the bathroom her hair was tied up in a ponytail and she let two strands of hair fall to encircle her head protector. She wore a black mess sleeved shirt with black material covering her upper body then going back to mess and her clan symbol on the back. Navy blue Capri pants covered her legs until a little past the knees. There was tape across her ankles. Nicki walked into the kitchen and ate a light breakfast before returning to her room once more. She put tape on her right thigh and secured her shuriken holster. Then strapped her kunai pouch around her waist. Nicki walked to the door and slipped on her Nin sandals and ran out the door, locking it.
She walked until she reached the meeting place for her team. It was a clearing with a grove of trees surrounding it. She was early and was so for a reason. In the distance she spotted two figures and recognized them as her teammates. Stevie sported a forest green Chinese top with sleeves that reached her elbows and black cargo pants. Her chestnut brown her was braided and rested in the middle of her back.
