"Haruka! What are you doing, Spazz?" asked Kohaku. Her white hair flowed gracefuly in the gentle breeze.
Her red eyes had a cirtain gleam in them that Haruka hated. Kohaku was in her red skort that hung down to her knees with slits up the sides to make moving around easier. Her tanktop was red with a turtle-like neck. There was a zipper making it basicaly a vest.
"What? What do you mean? I wasn't doing anything that had anything to do with a really mean prank.
George did it!" answered Haruka eagerly. Her brown hair was about the color of of an old log. Her eyes were ghost purple. Her skin was chestnut colored, and she wore her usual blue caprees with red tank-top.
"What? No, no. Not that! I know what you were doing, but I have something more important to do, and it involves you!" Kohaku was in no mood to be calm, gentle, or sane. What That meant to haruka was that even though she was older, Kohaku(the one who sets actual boundaries with the help of her fox friend, Shadow) was in a bad mood which meant that she must have found out that Haruka was the one who put red berry juice in replace of the bottle of Alchohalic Blood.
"I'm sorry! I took"
"You took what?" Kohaku twirled around viciously and took hold of Haruka's collar. Obviously what Haruka supposedly did has really brought her in deeper than she could swim.
"Your Blood bottle?" Haruka said, unsure weather to trust that her sister would harm her or not.
"Oh, that. That's not important right now. What is important is who sent that threat letter." Kohaku gently set her sister down with an apologetic motion.
"Oh, so I didn't do it this time?" Haruka asked forgetting that her sister didn't know that she wrote the last one just to get Kohaku to show her what red alert was. Appearently you have to actually threaten the society of Guardians.
"This time? What do you...Never mind. Have you ever heard of Humans? You know, the ones that tried to wipe out our race of Anymagus'just because we could easily destroy them? They obviously don't know that we hate fighting and want to avoid it at all costs. It seems that the new "threat letter" says that we have to give up one of our Guardians to keep peace. I may not have seen the letter for myself, and I may be one of few in the forest who can read and write human script, but something tells me that the Elders are a lying bunch of bags of bones.
They're calling a meeting at sunset. I need your help to get that letter so I can read it before we go to that meeting.
Other wise, I might be the one to go. You do know that who ever leaves is going to have a replacement right"
Haruka stopped walking. A horrible look crossed her face as a horrible thought came to mind. She looked Kohaku in the eyes. She nodded. "You mean that Katskie is going to be the replacement?" Haruka asked in a frightened tone.
A raddling noise from the bushes broke the whispering conversation. Before the creature could emerge from his hiding place, Kohaku grabbed her sister and jumped noislessly into the tree branchs above.
It was Rowan. Head of the Dark Forest and brother to Kohaku's deceised mate, Kiba. He always blamed Kohaku for his brother's death, even when it was the humans who killed him. Because Kohaku didn't put up a fight due to being too drunk to even stand, all the humans did was brand her left shoulder blade with the Tri-moon mark.
( )o( Looks something like that. )
"I know your here, Kyda. Show yourself before I force you to show yourself," said Rowan. He wore black shorts and a black T-shirt. His black hair looked some what brown in the sunlight, but also made his pale skin even paler.
"Mabey I don't want to. Ever think of that?" Kohaku replied while jumping to the ground.
"Being my kin by blood and animal, I thought I could help with the Threat letter. It was actually pretty easy"
You could tell that he had to force those words from his mouth like a poision being forced into good Blood.
"Why would you help me"
"Because I over heard the Elders talking saying that they can't overthrow me with you in command of the Guardians, or without the humans. I don't want to take the risk of being overthrown just like a leaf on a stick. So take the danm letter already"
"It's okay, Haruka. You can come down now," Kohaku said with ease. Haruka gladly jumped from the tree.
"I'll read the letter to you instead of you reading. I don't want it blown into millions of pieces like my book.
It says:
Cooporation is needed with the Leaf village of Konoha. A mission group was dispatched one week ago to your forest and has not come back yet. There is a group called Akutski that is kidnapping people with demons inside them, and we have a suspicion that the group may have been abducted. We ask that your top trackers come to the village to meet with me and to disgus a plan. Cooporation is needed.
Signed,
Tsunade Hokage"
"Wow that was stupid. All it asked for was a couple of trackers. Wait. The only two trackers in this whole forest are you, Tree Man, and me. How does that work out"
"I'll tell you how," came a decrepid voice from behind the bunch. Kohaku only turned to find the head Elder, Celtic Howl.
"I was going to bring you the letter later to read, but curiosity still overwhelms you. Thankyou for translating that. Rowan, thankyou for volunteering. Kohaku, Haruka, please come with me. I must prepare you to your visit to the village of Konoha," Celtic said kindly. To Kohaku, his kind voice was like nails on a chalkboard and only told her one thing. Something's up, and it involved her.
At the old oak tree in the center of the forest, Kohaku, Haruka, and Rowan, much to his dislike, were trailing behind the old wolf Elder who seemed to be enjoying himself too much. The path that was carved into the main trunk of the tree and wove up from the bottom and ended in several different spots on the way up. Kohaku knew that her destination was the top coridor. The one that led into the room where no one Anymagus was ever alowed to go with out supervision. Even if you did have supervision, though, you were never to be seen again. That part was what Kohaku was investigating.
Did they find out she and Haruka were spies for the combined Wolf and Fox Clans? The clan tattoo. A symbol to show who's clan you belonged to. Kohaku and Haruka's tattoo are three solid half-inch lines that go all the way across to meet together with the opposite side. The lines space virtically by 1". Nobody else has this tattoo, for they fear that they will turn into Demons themselves. To other clans, Kohaku and Haruka are known as the Stray Hyan Sisters. Their reputation had become overwhelming.
In the past they'd killed just for the fun of it. Then they went into training for the Guardian Squad. Of course the pairing was off and the two sisters had never fought without eachother before, so they learned allot in their time at the acadamy. The only reason they kill for defense is because of an Elite Hunter fox who goes by the name of Midnight Shadow. Kohaku got stuck with Shadow because she was too wild for her own good. Shadow took to her new student as most would expect, frustrating. Kohaku respected her teacher very much, but good things have to come to an end sooner or later. Shadow dissappeared on the day of Kohaku's graduation. Kohaku had permenantly changed her ways for that fox, and now she couldn't even see why she had liked the fox in the first place. Katski was Haruka's team mate, and also considered her to be his girlfriend. Now Kohaku has to use weights that weigh in more than 3,000 elephants just to keep her sister from demolishing Katski. And just as expected, we all know who was waiting at the top of the path way more than six thousand miles from the ground. Katski sat there with a big smile on his face. His crooked fangs annoyed everyone, especially when mixed with his green eyes. His brown wolf-fur gleamed a crisp golden that made Kohaku want to cook him right then and there. He was the only one who knew they were spies. Through Kohaku's eyes, the whole forest knew and was in on their exicution. Waiting inemanently for the death of the most feared assains to come to their knees, helpless before the court that condemened them.
A light breeze filled Haruka's nose.
"What's that smell?" she asked in wonder as the strangly familliar, yet not familliar scent filled her nose.
Kohaku smelt it too.
"Human," she whispered just loudly enough for Rowan and Haruka to hear. A sizzle noise set off Kohaku's reflexes.
"Human's and bombs! Paper bombs!" Before the trio could exit the area, they found they were falling into a sea of laughter, pity, embarrassment, and betrayal. They had been caught, and now they were going to pay. There was only one question that entered Kohaku's mind before she passed out. Why were the Elders fleeing from the bombs that were meant to kill the assains? The sudden realization swept through the trio as they plummitted toward earth and their death. Katski had betrayed the whole forest. He wrote the letter, called the humans, and turned against the last of the Blood Feuded Anymagus. The final words heard from Katski were,
"My will is stronger than yours! I will always have my way"
"Katski, you bastard! The Stray Hyans will come back to make the kill! And You'll be first!" Kohaku's speech had stunned the humans. They didn't know they were dealing with the top two assains in world.
Kohaku saw one last glimps of home as she knew it. As soon as she passed out, a war began. One that would come to be known as the Battle Betrayal that took place in Trechery Forest. The trio sank into evil dreams. They were trapped with no way out and no hope to survive.
