"Kieko!" I nearly jumped out of my skin when Dankuni's obnoxious voice chimed in loudly from outside my window.
"What do you want?" I glared down at him from my second-floor appartment.
"You have to come and train with me today!" Stupid Dakuni. When will he realize that I'm not into training with him? I'm an ANBU who doesn't have time to mess around with the Team. Sure, everyone in Squard 20 is ANBU, but I don't want to mess around with the village who turned its back on me when I needed them most.
"I don't have time for this now!" I shouted.
"Aww! Come on! We need you!" His squealing was annoying.
"No! now go away!" I was really tired and he was pushing my last buttons. I had just gotten back from an exhausting mission three hours before-hand, and he wants me to train with them? Man he's too much!
Click click! I opened one eye to the annoying sound coming from the window. It was just another Missionary Bird sent from the Harukage. "Go away! I'm sleeping now!" I pulled the coveres over my head and sighed in relief. Click! Click! Click! The bird wouldn't stop. Even after I threw the shoe through the glass. "Fine!" I jumped out of bed at the exact time the white dove flew through, catching itself in my mess of hair. After about ten minutes of fighting with the squaker a little note fell off of it's leg.
"Great. If he thinks he can send me on another mission he has another thing coming to him." I bent down and picked it up, and the words instilled fright into my bones.
Kieko:
There has been a breech in secrutiy. Come to the tower imediatley.
Lord Hekio.
"Damn! I ran to my dresser and changed into the Water Village's ANBU outfit;blue sleeveless, black cargo pants, blue high-heeled sandals, and threw my long black hair into a tight ponytail. I was about to jump out the window when I caught a glimpse of my Nigashi Clan of a black fox. We're one of the strongest and well-known families right next to the Uchiha, and just like Itachi I'm the last of my clan. I thought juming as fast as I could through the town.
"Kieko! Hey!" Dankuni waved like crazy, his long blonde hair and green eyes always seemed a bit childish, and Karen, her brown pixie cut and green eyes made her look more like a man than a woman. "Ready for this breech?" He asked with a wide smile.
"I want to go back to sleep." I growled through clenched teeth.
"You always want to sleep. That's why you'll never find a boyfriend." I glared at Karen.
"Shut up." I stopped at the gate to the tower. It was perfectly obvious to feel the other villagers staring at me, thinking about how much of a freak I am. Once the last of my clan died when I was five they picked on me. Tied me up and made me watch them eat, throw sticks and stones at me when I talked with their kids, and a whole array of other crap. Then one day I surprised them by nearly killing an ANBU.
"The sky's too dark." Karen said sourly.
"And it's not even past 2." We walked in the main room of the tower to see 14 other ANBU squads waiting. "Whao, this is big." I said looking around.
"Settle down." Lord Hieko came in, his long silver ponytail was stuck behind his black kimono, the same color as his eyes. "There has been a breech in our security. The Akatsuki has been here, in our village." Shocked chattered erupted around me. I've heard of these guys. Bad news. I thought. "Alright quiet down now. You seventeen are the only ones who can take them on, continue to be our pride and joy!"
All of us vanished into the forest on Hieko's signal. "So, how long are we supposed to look for these so called Akatsuki?" Mario, a muscle-bound fool, asked us.
"Until we find him, you moron." I rhetored back, making him jump of away from us.
"What a strange man." Dankuni said shaking his head.
"Let's turn back." I said, causing every team to stop and glare at me. "What?"
"What?" Mario said with disbelief. "What!? Do you have any respect for our village?"
"Your village," I corrected. "and we're too close to the Stone Village. I don't think I have to remind you how much they hate us."
But an explosion not even 200 feet from us made me think twice.
