-1The room had a foreboding sense of evil to it. There seemed to be no life living inside the walls, but there was, believe it or not. She looked around the room, her large limpid eyes swirling, catching every speak of information that her brain could decipher. Now that she looked at it, it was not just the room that seemed to be evil. It was the entire house! The walls were cluttered with shelves of books and odd shaped bottles of strange, unidentified substances. It seemed to smell of lies, deceit, and a dash of pepper. The only light came from a small light bulb in the center of the room, and it flickered on and off every now and again. Was this really where her quarry lived? It seemed to be a place that only a witch or something equally as evil could inhabit.
The door creaked open, and she swung her head around to look to see who was entering the sanction of ungodliness. Alas! It was a beautiful woman with a body and grace that could only belong to the angels in Heaven above! How could someone as wonderful as she live in such a place? There must be some kind of explanation. However, as the woman neared, her beauty faded, but did not entirely diminish. She was still good-looking, but now entirely human. Was it a trick of the light? No, there was too little of it here for that to be it. Was she simply going mad? There was no time to think. She had to act fast. No doubt that this bewitcher of the mind was her quarry, and she must carry out her instructions.
She quickly grabbed the sword for behind her back, and raced towards the woman. That was all she knew. The next moment, she was facing her body, unattached, to her head.
"Did you know that the brain still functions for fifteen second after it is decapitated? I guess that means you know what is going on in a sense. Happy trails." The woman spoke to her, but she could not place the voice. She was getting cold, her mind growing foggy. Is this death? If it was, it sucked.
The woman stared at the now dead body in front of her. She kicked the head, and it rolled to the other side of the room, to another figure who sat, hidden, in an armchair.
"They sent another assassin after us, Kina-chan."
"Yes, and like all of the others, we disposed of her." Kina replied. She stood and messed with her hands. Forming signs and figures with them, she shouted "Katon!" Flames shot from her mouth in a long dragon's tail. The body was incinerated instantly.
"Nice." The woman said.
"Thank you, Loki. Did you have to use so much illusion, even I saw you beautiful, it needn't be so strong." Kina replied.
"Sorry, K-chan. I guess I got carried away."
"You seem to do that a lot." Kina said, but grinned none-the-less.
"Yes, I do, don't I? Should we be going? We have a summons from Tsunade-no-ba-chan."
"Yeah, we have to meet Mika and Kyiri anyway."
"Good, now there's just one more thing I want to take care of before we leave here." Loki quickly packed up all (and I mean ALL) of the books and bottles that lined the selves and walls. She then grabbed a gun from out of no where and shot liquid cheese all over the room.
"You just killed the sadistic mood, you know that?" Kina asked, wiping cheese from her hair, face, and clothing.
"Yeppers!" Loki skipped out of the house, and Kina stomped behind. This was going to be a loooooooooooooooooooooooong week.
THE RENEGADES
EPISODE ONE!
Enter the Renegades!
Mika was going insane. She had been waiting with the sugar-high Kyiri for three hours now. And who gave her sugar? Well, Loki sent it all in a package for her. Mika was so going to kill that scorpion demon when she got her hands on her.
"Soooooooo, what do you think clouds are made of, huh? Do you think anyone knows? Do you think angels make them? But then why doesn't god make them? Wait a sec, I don't believe on God, what's going on with these thoughts in my head?"
"Newsflash Kyiri, they're not in your head, you talking out loud." Mika sweat dropped.
"Oh really, then answer all of my questions." Kyiri nodded matter-of-factly.
"If you really must know then clouds are made of water droplets that condensed, and became vapor. These vapors float into the uppermost layer of the atmosphere and create large masses that we call clouds." Mika sighed. Kyiri blinked.
"What?"
"Never mind."
Kyiri looked off down the road. "Here come Loki and Kina!" She screamed.
"How can you tell?" At about that time a large amount of liquid cheese splatted in Mika's face. "Oh, that's how."
"So how are we all doing?" Kina asked as she walked up to the duo.
"She's driving me bonkers because of your little toady there." Mika growled.
"Who you callin Toady?" Loki shouted.
"You!" Mika replied matter-of-factly.
"Oh, you're good."
"I'll never understand you."
"No one will, dearie." Loki put her cheese gun in it's holster, and walked over to Kyiri with a bag of apples. "Want one?"
"YESH!" Kyiri said, and she took a red apple.
"So, how long do you think it'll take us to get to Konoha?" Loki asked.
"I'd say about two days at the most. Why did Hokage summon us again?" Mika replied.
"Well, she said something about Loki's family." Kina said.
"Loki doesn't have a family, she's an orphan, remember?" Kyiri raised her eyebrows.
"I know, that's why we're so interested in hearing what Ba-chan has to say." Loki stated quietly.
"So, anything we should know about on you travels?" Mika asked Kina.
"Several shinobi from the Mist Village tried to kill us, but nothing more than that."
" 'Nothing more that that.'? You make it sound like it was nothing. They were trying to take your life." Mika exclaimed.
"As far as I'm concerned, they can have it." Loki sat down beside Kyiri, who was munching quietly on her apple.
"Always depressed and depressing, aren't you Lo-chan?" Kyiri asked.
"Don't call me Lo-chan." Loki replied, with a slight smile.
"We are going to make camp here for the night," Kina tried to get the subject changed., "And then we can leave in the morning."
"Sounds like a plan." Mika replied, also eager to get away from the touchy-feely subject.
None of the girls really like talking about their feelings. As far as they thought about it, feelings were nothing more than a human weakness, that they could, indeed, live without. They all made themselves comfortable under the large Oak tree that Mika and Kyiri had been waiting under, and settled down for a long night's rest, right before a long day of running, and traveling.
Hatake Kakashi was steaming mad. Not only had Naruto found a way to pour a bucket of boiled spinach on top of his head, but he also had a D ranked assignment. A D RANKED! He could not believe what had gotten into Hokage-sama. She had been acting really weird. Telling Naruto to get his house clean along with having a special house put up for visiting Shinobi. Why couldn't they stay in a hotel? Why did they have to have their own house, and what did Naruto's house being clean or dirty have to do with anything? There was some connection, but Kakashi's brain was itching at trying to figure it out.
"What's eating ya Kakashi?" Maito Gui just had to come up to him today, didn't he?
"Nothing, Gui, just some work that I'm doing."
"I heard you got assigned to a D-Ranked mission." So everyone knew of his disgrace.
"Where did you hear that?"
"I didn't, you just told me." Gui smiled, and gave a thumbs-up, and Kakashi turned, and slowly walked away.
He walked out of the village, and only to see a group of Shinobi waiting outside the gates.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"We were the people you were supposed to escort here, but we're already here now, so we'll go on in." One of the women said. He looked them over hotly.
The one who had spoken and long white hair with bangs, had on a green shirt, blue jeans, and was wearing a dog collar. The girl beside, a little younger, had long black hair, pulled back in a poytail, and wore a green shirt, with someone called GIR on it, and black jeans. The next, who looked older than all of them, had Black hair with purple streaks in it. She wore a pair of black pants, and a shirt that had a mouth with fangs on it that said "Bite me." The last girl, the youngest, had short brown hair, and wore a red shirt with a wolf on it, and blue jeans. They were an odd bunch of people.
"Well, let me at least get you inside." He offered.
"Why bother, we've already come this far." The first girl replied arrogantly. Kakashi frowned.
"Be nice Mika, he's cute." The last girl said.
"You've got to be kidding me Kina-chan." The third girl sounded disgusted. He didn't look that bad today, did he?
"Stop being so self-centered, all of you.." The second one said. "My name is Kyiri, this is Loki, Mika, and Kina."
"Nice to meet you all." Well, at least one of them seemed to be nice. Boy was he ever wrong.
