Taisura Miyaki had just graduated from the ninja academy in her village. She was proud to wear the headband of the village hidden in the mist, it was her home and it made her feel more complete. Taisura was the last descendant of the powerful Miyaki clan who were famous for their Kekai Genkai which nobody outside of the clan had never seen, and lived.

That morning Taisura quickly got changed into her clothes, a sleeveless white sweater that ended just above her waist with an emerald green tank top showing from just above her waist down to where her short white skirt that was open at the sides from the hips down, under which she wore emerald green leggings. She displayed her headband around her neck instead of her forehead and she wore tape around her arms, starting from her elbows down to her knuckles, and her mouth starting from under her nose and down to the top of her neck where she tied it off in a neat knot. Her preference for shoes were wooden ones and she wore her hair in a long braid that extended above her waist and she kept fastened with a clip that was in the shape of a cherry blossom (the symbol of her clan) which was also displayed on her skirt.

The clock in Taisura's room struck seven o' clock indicating that it was time for her to get down to the ninja academy, today they were assigning teams and she was anxious to see who was in her team. She preferred to work independently, but they wouldn't let her do that since she was only a Genin. Quickly Taisura grabbed the book she was currently reading, an apple, her flute, and the hip pack of kunai knives lying on the table which she quickly strapped on. She decided to leave her scythe behind because it would only be dead weight at this time, she would wait until the real fights to begin before she ever used it. It was her mother's and the only thing she had left of her parents, so she would honor them by only using it when it was necessary. The clock struck seven o' one, it was time to go.

Kito Hyotio settled down next to his friend Miotu Kaitai at a table at the ninja academy. Today was the day they assigned teams and they were both anxious to be in the same team. In fact everybody in the room seemed a bit anxious. Many of the other newly appointed Genin shuffled around in their seats worrying about who they would have assigned in their team. The door opened quietly and Kito quickly glanced over to see who was coming in. It was only Taisura though. Kito didn't know how she had graduated from the ninja academy, she didn't seem like a great fighter even though she was the only member left of the famed Miyaki clan. Nobody knew much about her except that she was an orphan and that her parents died when she was very young. Kito watched as she quietly sat down at the only empty table and took out her book. That was another thing, she was always reading.

"Hi Kito!" exclaimed a very excited voice behind him.

"Ugh…" Kito sighed, slowly he turned around to see Itana sitting directly behind him and smiling hugely at him. He hated being the most popular guy in the academy, every single girl always all over him, trying to get a date."Hi Itana" Kito replied politely. Miotu glanced over at Kito, he knew that Kito was just too polite not to reply to anyone, but that did him no favors.

Just then the door opened at the back of the class and the ninja academy sensei walked in the room.

"Today we will be assigning your teams," spoke Saikei sensei ", you will each be assigned to a different three-man squad and each squad will have their own sensei to teach them the skills they need to become Chunin ninja. Any questions?" After a brief silence he continued. "These will be your teams:" Saikei started reading off the list "Team number six: Kito Hyotio," Kito perked up at the sound of his name "Miotu Kaitai," Miotu gave Kito a huge grin ", and Taisura Miyaki" Taisura looked up from her book at the sound of her name, she glanced over at her other teammates (no emotion showing in her eyes) and then continued reading. "Those will be your teams until you become Chunin ninja," Saikei sensei "have a nice lunch." He smiled and exited the room.

Kito was in a state of shock, he did not want to be on Taisura's team, she would only hold him back from becoming a stronger ninja. This only ever happens to me, Kito thought.

"Come on Kito it's not that bad," Miotu said confidently ", at least we're on the same team. And look at the bright side, at least she didn't come over to us and automatically make herself the leader."

Kito looked up from the table to see that Miotu was right; Taisura had simply just walked out to go eat her lunch. "Thanks Miotu," Kito replied thankfully ", hey, just to be nice why don't we see if we can find her and try and talk to her. Maybe she's not such a bad person." Kito ran out of the room with Miotu following close behind.

The two boys managed to catch Taisura heading towards the park. She made her way quickly, walking with long strides. Miotu and Kito could barely keep up with her. Suddenly Taisura headed into the trees. When they got to that point in the path they looked into the trees, but Taisura was nowhere to be seen.

Taisura looked down at the two boys with disgust. They had been following her! Out of the cornor of her eye she had seen Kito's open jacket flying out behind him.

'Kito and Miotu' she thought. She looked down from her perch at them again. Kito was from the Hyotio clan. Not only that, he was from the head house, pretty much royalty. He had shoulder length, jet black hair which he seperated to two front strands with wide metal rings. His new headband was tied traditionally around his forehead and under his hair. The red jacket he wore he left open to reaveal a black tanktop with the emblem of his clan printed on it in red (a pheonix). He wore black armwarmers and beige pants that ended at the knee, and as a precaution two thigh packs of kunai (one on each thigh). On his back he carried four identical shurikan that had belonged to his grandfather before him.

Miotu was a bit different from his best friend though. He was not from any clan and lived with his family in the village. His hair was light brown and he kept it in a ponytail on his head. He wore a dark green vest and a fishnet, shortsleeve shirt underneath. He wore black, fingerless gloves with protective metal backs and his headband around his left arm. His pants were black and knee length with inumerable pockets, so nobody ever knew what was inside of them.

Suddenly there was a rustling in the bushes where Kito was standing. Instinctively he reached for a kunai, but it was only a squirell crossing their path.

"Come on Kito," Miotu sighed ", she's obviously given us the slip. Let's go eat lunch."

Kito watched the oddly, very light brown squirell climb up a nearby tree. "I don't know Miotu. There's something odd about that squirell."

"What? You don't think she could've used a transformation jutsu to turn into an animal?" Miotu questioned. "Come on Kito. That jutsu takes up too much chakra."

From her new perch Taisura drew a kunai knife. 'I'll show them what I'm able to do. Can't use a transformation jutsu. Ha! They don't know the half of it.' She threw the kunai knife, letting it go past Kito's nose and hitting the tree he was standing by.

"What was that?" Miotu was surprised. Calmly Kito went over to the tree and pulled out the weapon that had almost hit him.

"It's a kunai knife. It almost hit me too."

"Almost is the key word" Taisura jumped gracefully down from her perch, her very light brown braid flowing behind her.

"How did you get over there if we saw you come over here?" Miotu questioned, exasperated.

"Yes tell us Taisura" Kito said to her.

"That is only for me to know." Taisura replied. She then walked up to Kito and too the kunai from him. "Thanks for getting this out of the tree for me."

"What are you talking about?" Kito responded loudly, all calmness had faded. "You almost hit me with a kunai knife!"

"Almost." Taisura took out her apple and unwrapped some of the tape from around her mouth to eat. Quietly she left her two team mates to ponder over her vaguely rude actions and headed back towards the ninja academy.

"We might as well get back Kito," Miotu finally said ",we can't be late to meet our sensei."

"Something about that girl bothers me," Kito replied, heading for the academy ", I don't think she was being rude, just using it as a mask. There's something more to her. I mean how else could she pull off transforming into that squirell."

Miotu didn't reply, he just stared blankly at his friend's confusion. It was very unlike Kito to get so worked up about stuff like that. In the distance the bell to the ninja academy rang, it was time for the Genin to meet their sensei.
