In the land of fire, a girl of 14 sat with her back against a thick tree trunk, by a river bend. One of her knees was propped up at a 45-degree angle, the other flat on the ground. Her right hand was one the propped up knee, the left was laying at her side. She had her eyes closed, as though she was asleep. Her black knee length shorts were torn, her dark purple, off the shoulders, long sleeve shirt was ripped in multiple places. Oddly, she had no visible injuries. Her light brown hair came down to about her shoulders, her to-the-chin bangs covered her right eye, she has smooth skin, and a heart shape face.
Their was a noise to her left, a blue fish like guy with sharp yellow eyes came out in a black cloak, with red clouds, and a giant wrapped sword on his back. He was an impressive seven feet tall. Then a small black haired youth about 15 came out. His red eyes, pale complexion, angular face was vampire like; long raven black hair tied in a ponytail, and was around 5 foot 7. He also had a similar cloak on.
The blue man spoke, "Toga Camilla." He asked/stated in a baritone voice.
The girl, Camilla, replied, eyes closed, "Depends on who's asking Kisama-san."
"Where's your brother?"
"Gone with the river."
"…Sorry" a pregnant pause followed that statement.
"Will you join the Akatsuki?" the dark haired youth asked, as thought it was a statement.
The former mist nin (Camilla) smiled, opened her eyes, the left was a light brown, and replied, "You'll have to catch me first." In a chilling monotone.
"Wha…" Kisama question was answered went Camilla disappeared in a puff of smoke.
The raven-haired teen then narrowed his eyes, the black marks in his eyes spinning.
.:xXx:.
Meanwhile Camilla was tree hopping about ½ a mile away, strait face. Her eyes were void of emotion, scanning the forest for possible threats. Her kekkei genkai activated.
The Toga clans kekkei genkai is called Shiryu (I think it means 'to support life' tell me if I'm wrong) and its one of the most powerful kekkei genkai. Went the eye part of the Shiryu is activated the welders eyes loses their pupils but stay the same color as the person's original eye color. Their eyes 'sees' every physical detail of a person, DOB, name, age, abilities, and if they are good at using it they can see every move the person has made, every person they have killed, and many different things. Then the second stage of this amazing kekkei genkai is that if they drink someone's blood they gain that person kekkei genkai (if the person has one) but the second stage is not present in everyone that has the Shiryu. However, there is a price.
Back to the story, Kisama and the unidentified youth (if you have not figured it out yet then you must not watch the show.) were looking around for her.
"Hey, Itachi were do you think Camille mite be?"
"Hn."
"You don't talk much, do you?"
"Hn."
"Stop that!"
Itachi just gave a very small smirk, which just pissed off Kisama even more. An anime style vein popped on Kisama forehead.
"Stupid Uchiha." Muttered Kisama, which promptly earned a glared from Itachi.
.:xXx:.
Camilla reached a road, and did a well-executed back flip off the branch she was on.
"Well who do we have here?" Her head snapped up to see a pale, almost white man, with long jet-black hair, who was wearing some purple eye makeup. His headband was from Konoha with a slash thought the symbol, and the same black cloak as Kisama. Next to him was a short hunched over man, same black cloak, and a tan rice picker's hat.
"Let's play, is that ok with you Sasori?" Asked the snake man.
"Don't take to long, I hate waiting." Sasori looked over, "by the way I think that's the Toga brat that leader wants to recruit." Immediately Camilla narrowed her eyes, and graceful pulled out the sword that hung on her back. It was an almost completely black, but had silver flowers go down the swords strait length, the hilt was black with two deep crimson ribbons hanging from the hilt.
"I will defend my self if you come near me." She threatens with no emotion, with an edge, as if she was a beaten dog.
"Good, prey should fight back, it makes it more fun for the predator" the snake-teme challenged.
The swordswoman showed a ghost of a smile, "Who said I was the prey."
Camilla launched herself at Orochimaru and stared the dance of the rose. She spinning, and constantly moving her center of gravity in a way that made every move count. But, the snake man dodged every swing. Then Camilla did a low swing kick with her right foot, Orochimaru jumped back. So Camilla put pressure on her leg and kicked off, did a one hand cartwheel, put her sword back and did a heel drop aimed at Orochimaru's right shoulder.
He caught it and slammed her into a near by tree, the tree hit her square in her lower back. With a force strong to make her cough up blood, but she ignored the pain, landed on her hands, and flipped into a crouch.
"Shit!" Camilla grabbed a shuriken, and was about to throw it to her right, the opposite direction of Orochimaru, when she fell unconscious.
"But I wasn't done playing" Orochimaru pouted like a little kid that could not finish his ice cream.
"You were taking too long," Sasori said while picking up the limp form of Camilla with his metal tail. "Plus she was actually holding her own sedated her then. The girl is surprisingly strong; she even noticed the poisoned senbon before it hit her."
"Of course she strong or she wouldn't be so sought after." The snake-nin said. "Poor Itachi and Kisama, there are going to be so disappointed that we got their objective before them.
.:xXx:.
"Kisama, Itachi, get back to the base, Orochimaru and Sasori captured Toga for you," the indifferent voice of their leader resounded in there heads.
"How the hell they do that?" Kisama asked outraged, but playful.
"Hn." (translation 'I don't really care how, at least its done')
"Do you even know any other words besides hn?"
"Yes of course, do you think I'm stupid?" Itachi asked, annoyed that he had to respond to Kisama's insulting questions.
Kisama just responded with a "Finally he speaks." He even throws his hand up in victory.
.:xXx:.
Camilla was coming to; she was in a ridged bed, and an itchy white hospital gown, the gown is short sleeved so you could see the many scares that marred her lower arms. The room she was in had white walls, monitors beeping, and medical supplies everywhere. A hospital ward. She looked around, and then ripped the wires attached to her off, and swung her legs over and stared to walk towards the door. Camilla's hand was at the handle went the door suddenly swung open, she took a defensive stance.
"You up already? You recover quickly." A woman appeared, she was in her mid-twenties, tough face, but kind smile, her royal blue hair framed her face, and it was also pulled up into a loose bun with a white paper flower holding it in place. She wore loose fitting pants that came to a stop at her knees, a black shirt with a mesh collar, ninja boots, and a big round ring.
"Konan-san what your leader want with me?" the missing-nin asked in a polite voice, she striating out her stance (she used her Shiryu to get Konan's name).
"Impressive, you can still use your Shiryu, even though you lost a lot of blood. Even more suspiring that you can walk; you have mutable hairline fractures, internal bruising, and five broken ribs." Konan said this while pointing to her chin, as if she was pondering something. "You must have gotten most of these injuries before your encounter with Kisama and Itachi, am I right?"
Camilla turns her head to the side looking at the space above Konan's head, "the Mizukage really wants to me dead. May I please get changed out of these hospital clothes?"
"Oh dear," Konan was rolling her eyes, "how come missing-nin never let them selves heal …" Konan saw the look in Camilla's eyes, Camilla was glaring daggers out of the corner of her eyes, "fine, fine, but first let's go to the baths, and then you can see your new clothes!"
"Hun? You treat me as if I am an old friend, and please stop pulling Konan-san." The mist-nin asked while being dragged down a hallway that was under a canopy, all you had to do to be outside is hop over the red railing.
Konan looked at her if she was crazy, "You're the only other girl in the Akatsuki, and also you're the youngest member so I want to be friends."
Camilla was confused, "you want to be my friend? Shinobi do not need friend, it just hurts them went their friends die, why would you set yourself up for that? How can you trust someone enough to give the power to break you?"
Konan stopped. "Do you speak form experience," she turn her head to stare at Camilla, "or what others told you?"
"Dose it matter, it's true." Camilla looked down, "sorry that outburst was disrespectful. You are the higher ranking officer here; I should not have spoken out of turn." She gave a very respectful, but short, bow.
"Humble, that's rare in missing-nins." Konan stared walking again, eyebrows knitted deep in thought until they reached a small oak door. "Here's the bath, over there is the towels and some new clothes for you."
"Thank you for generosity." Camilla's face turned a light pink, "I am not used to being treated as an actual person"
"It's cool"
They got undressed and eased into the large, elegant, traditional Japanese bath.
Splash!
"Ha ha ha, your expression, so funny"
"Konan-san that wasn't very nice-ahhhhhhhhh"
.:xXx:.
"wasn't very nice-ahhhhhhhh."
"The Toga brat already up? She was only down for two days?" the redhead puppet asked secretly sulking that his poison wasn't more potent.
"Camilla is one the best of the noble house of Toga; a master of the Shiryu. One of the seven swordsmen of the mist at age 7. She became the first captain of the Anbu at age eleven, the youngest in history. So of course she recovers quickly, she need to, she had no one to help her while she was on the run." Kisama answered.
"She's still a brat"
.:xXx:.
"This is fun." Camilla asked while siring the water with her pointer finger, her arm was around her knees, in a little ball. "What did you mean I am the youngest member of the Akatsuki? Dose it this have to do with the ring on my hand?"
"Yes, it means you're a member of Akatsuki."
"Oh, so am I at the bottom of the chain of command? Or do I have to pass a test?" Camilla asked in a quite polite voice.
"Pass a test, it probably be soon" Konan said in a board tone. "You don't seem the type to become a missing-nin, or even a shinobi."
"Really?" She barred her teeth, her canines looked like fangs, her visible eye turned red, "most people find me very shinobi like." Camilla's lips turned into a twisted smile, her face turned into a cruel, deadly face of a killer.
Konan giggled, she was use to that kind of face, she has worn it herself. "Very scary," Konan looked at the clock, "we should get out now."
.:xXx:.
Camilla and Konan came out of the bath; Konan was wearing the same thing she was wearing earlier. Camilla however was now wearing: loose black cargo pants, a black tub top over a black fishnet shirt, from her elbow to her wrist was banged to cover her scares, her right hand had fingerless gloves, and she had on stander black ninja shoes.
"So when do I met all the members?" the brown haired teenager asked.
"Now, I guess, their all here," answered the older women, "you ready?"
"Hai Konan-san"
.:xXx:.
Was that a good first chapter? Am I going to fast? What do you guys (and girls) think of Camilla? What do I need to improve on? Also as a warring I will not be able to update the often. Also Camilla's swords name is Hiyoir, I think it means scarlet trust, but I mite change it to Hiou, scarlet cherry blossoms. Thanks for reading.
