Hi guys! This is my first Naruto fanfiction that I've posted here on . I wrote this ages ago (there's more on that on the after notes). It's probably my longest running fanfiction because I started it when I was roughly twelve years old or so. Kai Tetsaiga is definitely my most loved OC for Naruto.

I hope everyone enjoys and your reviews are very much appreciated but remember:

Constructive Criticism NOT Destructive.

Let's help not hurt.

"Kai," Master Jiraiya said softly, like loud noises would shatter me. I kind of felt like they would. "They approved your return to the village."

I pulled my eyes away from the view outside of the window to look at him. "Let's do it then," I said, slowly rising to my feet.

"Are you sure you're ready?" he asked.

"Has anyone ever cared if I was ready for anything?" I commented as I shoved my feet in my boots. "But I am this time. I've got things to do."

We left the white two story plantation house and headed home. The house had been my healing quarters for the last few months. The peaceful prairie had been very therapeutic but it was time to leave it behind.

Stepping into the village was a little surreal. I sucked in a big breath through my nose, letting the familiar scents, sights, and sounds flood my senses. It had been two very long years since I'd been in the village. That was only a painful visit then and it didn't last long. I hadn't officially been home to stay in over six years. I never realized how much I missed the place. A small grin broke out across my face.

"Are you glad to be home?" Master Jiraiya asked, smirking at me.

"It's bittersweet," I said solemnly. "I just missed my dad a lot but it'll probably be a bit before I find him. He's never where he's supposed to be."

"Who? Me?" came the smooth voice that I'd recognize anywhere. I just wasn't expecting it. It caused me to jump a little. Kakashi started laughing as I spun around to face him.

"Dad!" I said, hugging him. "You scared me! I almost had a heart attack."

He laughed lazily, giving me a hug. "Hello to you to Kai-girl."

"Well Kakashi," Master Jiraiya said. "She's all yours. Good luck. You're gonna need it."

"Oh come on Master," I said lightly, rolling my eyes at his dramatics. "You act like I'm a bad kid or something."

He raised an eyebrow at me but he didn't say anything for a moment. I looked at him innocently. Finally he sighed and said, "Like I told you, you're going to need all the luck you can get."

He gave me one last look and disappeared, probably to the hot springs to creep on innocent girls.

"Well Kai," Kakashi said, patting my head. "I suppose we should have you meet your new team. They've been waiting for me for about thirty minutes, which is a lot less time than usual but you get the idea."

"My bad," I said. "Bouncers caught us on our way back and … well you get it. Give me the low down on the team so I'll know what to expect."

"Trust me, you'll learn all you need to know as soon as you meet them." Kakashi explained. "But I will tell you one thing: They DO NOT get along."

I rolled my eyes. "Peachy. Just peachy."

-Sasuke-

Kakashi's late again, as usual, I thought annoyed as I sat in the tree watching for any sign of the haphazard man. I swear, this is the most ridiculous- I stopped mid-rant for two reasons.

ONE: Kakashi was there – finally – and TWO: he had the prettiest girl I'd ever seen with him.

I sat up a little straighter scrutinizing the girl. She had long light brown hair, almost blonde in the right light, that barely graced the top of her hips and her bangs fell just above her deep piercing blue eyes. I swore those eyes could see into my very soul. She had on a short black skirt that went to about mid thigh and a black zip up hoodie with blood red splatters on it. It was only zipped up a little and one of the sleeves hung off her shoulder so that I could see the strap of her white tank top. I swear I had either heard of her description before or seen her, or both...probably both. I'd never seen a girl so beautiful. She was more than breathtaking, intimidating too.

The girl screamed power and strength. She carried an air of confidence, more like arrogance actually, but it was clearly well earned. She seemed to know she could handle anyone she came up against.

"Well guys you're probably wondering who this is," Kakashi said in his airy voice of his, snapping me back into reality and out of my day dream. "She will be your new teammate but don't get it wrong she is NOT my student. Her name is Kai Tetsaiga. She's my daughter."

My eyes went wide and for a second, my hear stopped. Not what I was expecting, I thought. Then BAM! It hit me. I knew where I had heard about that girl before. Without really thinking I blurted, "Are you the Kai Tetsaiga? The Lone Wolf of the Leaf Village?"

-Kai-

Well they weren't expecting that, I thought as I stared at Sasuke, unable to answer his question, mostly because it was so extremely stupid that it had shut me down. I mean seriously, how many other fucking Kai Tetsaiga's were there?

But to my surprise, the googly eyed pink headed fan girl out dumbed Sasuke by about fifty freaking light years.

"C'mon Sasuke, look at her," Sakura said. "She's just a kid. Do you really believe she could be the Lone Wolf?"

"Well she's not a Genin and the Lone Wolf is rumored to be a Sannin," Sasuke said his resolve never faltering. He rolled his eyes at her. "And she fits the description. There's only four Sannin and the only two females are very different. One is Lady Tsunade, and obviously, she isn't fifty or so."

I snorted, covering my mouth. "Or so. The thing about Auntie Tsunade is that she never looks her age," I told them casually. "But as for your question, dumb questions get dumb answers. No, I'm not the Kai Tetsaiga. I'm the prettier twin sister."

His face hardened, his dark eyes narrowing at me. I gave him my trademark smart ass grin because the obvious annoyance on his face was humorous. It really was a talent to piss people off like I did.

"Well, you haven't introduced yourselves. Didn't you teach them manners, Dad?" I asked. Kakashi, of course, had told me their names. That had given me a bit of information about at least two of them and Sakura really didn't matter.

He sighed, rubbing the back of his head. "It's not something I can really help," he admitted. "I don't have very much luck with teaching them anything."

I rolled my eyes.

"Well, my name is Sakura Haruno," the girl said. Sakura was definitely the know-it-all type (and a Sasuke fan girl/stalker). She was a little too uppity but she had an odd muscle structure. She was extremely tone and had a little muscular structure but it wasn't the normal ninja tone. She was a dancer and a damn good one I'd wager. She did have a certain grace but she was just annoying as hell already.

I gave her the fakest smile and made it obvious too. I turned to the little annoying blonde boy, Naruto. I knew him already. He probably didn't remember me because we'd been really young and he was really stupid then and it was only in passing that we'd met. "Hey, you look like the type to never shut up and yet you haven't said anything. Do I scare you nine-" Kakashi slapped a hand over my mouth.

"You're pushing it a little too far, Kai," he whispered huskily. "Don't bring that up in front of those two because if you do I'll never hear the end of it. You know better."

Had I been facing him, I would have made a face but instead I shrugged him off of me. Regardless of him being my father, I didn't like being told I couldn't play games. "Anyway, what's your name?"

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki. The next Hokage! Believe it!" he said loudly with a bit too much flair. He had big dreams but it didn't seem like he had the sense equal to that of a bag of potatoes.

I resisted the urge to snort and rolled my eyes at him instead. "Ooookkaay then. Moving right along, it's your turn. Let me guess you're a Uchiha," I said to Sasuke. Regardless of me already knowing him name, it was obvious of his clan. He carried entirely too many of the physical Uchiha traits to be anything else unless he was adopted but I knew for a fact that wasn't true. I wasn't an idiot.

"I'm Sasuke Uchiha," he said giving me a smirk.

Oh, he thinks he's going to give me a challenge. Well, that's a fighting thought there Sasuke and I promise, I'll win in the end. I always do.

"So, what do you think of the team?" Kakashi asked as I prepared to bed down for the night, on his couch. After I'd left the village he had moved into the Jonin quarters. While he'd kept all of the important things, he didn't have an extra room.

"Well, Naruto, he's an idiot. Sakura is a know-it-all and you know how I just love those types of people," I said, the sarcasm obvious in my voice as I laid a blanket over the cushions. "And Sasuke, well, he thinks he's going to give me a challenge but he won't. He's really full of himself. I can't wait to smack him down."

Kakashi laughed and rubbed the top of my head. "You haven't changed a bit Kai-girl. Not much gets past you. Been like that since you were little. Sometimes I swore you were psychic."

I laughed. "Maybe I am," I threw my hand out and grabbed my head in an exaggerated form. "Wait, wait. I think I am getting a vision!" I cried out, shutting my eyes.

"Oh! Great Kai! Tell me! What do you see?!" Kakashi said, kneeling like an avid worshipper.

"Three kids...no four...one man..." I said slowly keeping my eyes closed and then I threw on the dramatics. "They...Oh my goth! They take over the world! The all powerful and mighty Kai Tetsaiga as their leader!"

Kakashi burst out laughing even harder than he had before. I could've almost sworn to tears in his eyes. I knew there were tears in mine. After about ten minutes of laughing until I thought my heart was going to give and my sides explode I managed to gain a little control over myself. So did Kakashi. It was like being little again, having late night "camp outs" with my dad, without a care.

"Well, all joking aside," Kakashi said, returning to the serious conversation we had been having. It reminded me that I wasn't six years old without a care. "We have a big mission tomorrow and you're gonna have to see those three in action."

"Where are we going?" I asked. I'd traveled so much with Master Jiraiya in the last six years that I knew the fastest way in and out of any where. The escape routes were necessary with my perverted, egg-headed sensei.

"To the Land of Wind. Simple delivery to be honest. Very low rank junk." he told me casually, shrugging.

I sighed. "Fantastic," I said sarcastically. "What or whom are we delivering?"

"The Feudal Lords daughter," Kakashi explained flatly. "There was an emergency back at the Land of Wind and so daddy jetted off leaving the poor kid in a near by town. The Lord of the Land of Fire has been watching her and says its now perfectly safe to take her home."

I nodded. "How old is this kid?"

"Four."

I snorted and started laughing again, with more bitterness. "I don't think I can handle this mission. I hate kids. I'm no good with them."

"Yeah, you and both of the boys. Sakura is the only one who can half way handle a kid," Kakashi said.

"Not true," I retorted. "You raised me for a bit. Taught me to walk and talk with some very creative words."

He sighed. "My point exactly."

"Oi! You're late Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto yelled angrily the next day as Kakashi came up to the gate.

"No," I said sarcastically. "I thought that we were just early!"

I heard Sasuke snort and Naruto turned slightly red in the face. I guessed he didn't like being called out on his stupidity.

"Sorry guys, I was getting our traveling companion," he stepped aside revealing a small girl.

She was tiny and blonde wearing a purple silk kimono. She cowered slightly.

"No way!" Naruto yelled causing her to jump and cower behind Kakashi. "You mean we have to take this little kid with us?!"

"No Naruto," I said. "We're supposed to stare at her for five minutes and leave her here." I said both sarcastic and annoyed. He was already really ticking me off. "I mean honestly, do you always ask obvious questions like that?"

He turned to me giving me a furious look. "Do you always have to be so sarcastic?" he asked angrily. "I mean its an all the time thing with you! Don't you ever quit?"

"That mouth of yours is already starting to annoy me! You're all talk. You can't back up anything you say and yet you continue to run your mouth! You always make a fool of yourself! Why-"

"Not the time nor the place!" Kakashi said cutting in, jumping in between us. "You're on a mission now and not only that but you're with a client."

I started to say something but Kakashi silenced me.

"I don't care if she's four or forty!" he scolded. "You're not going to fight during the mission. Feel free to kill each other when we get home."

I gave him a sour look. I was a naturally defiant type of kid so, I seriously considered telling Kakashi to butt out. He was lucky that I had more respect for him than that, if only just barely.

Naruto glared at me and I gave him a go to hell look. He didn't scare me.

"Alright, so we're heading to the Land of Wind. This is the feudal lords daughter. Her name is Yuki," Kakashi said giving us a quick run down of the situation, very simply so that the idiots among us could understand. "It'll take us about four days to get there. We have to protect and basically babysit Yuki until we get there."

I rolled my eyes, totally ready for the mission to be over so I could leave Naruto floating face down in the river.

"Everyone understand? Good. Let's go!"

That night we stopped at a hotel. Nothing eventful had happened, especially after the mornings fight. Yuki became oddly attached to both Sasuke and me. Kakashi thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen because it was obvious that neither Sasuke or I enjoyed the affection. Or having to carry the little brat around.

"So," Sakura said as I finally got the little runt into bed. "You seem really stressed out."

"I am and you really seem to like pointing out the obvious." I said. I was so irritated.

She turned red in the face and stared at the floor. "I-I'm sorry Lady Kai-"

"Don't call me that!," I snapped, my irritation getting the best of me, causing my voice to jump to a very loud level. "Don't call me Lady Kai ever again or I'll rip your throat off and make you eat it. Understand?"

"Uh, um, I-I'm s-sorry," she stammered, fear in her eyes.

That did it. My annoyance level turned into flat out anger and I had had enough of these bumbling idiots. If had to stay in that room for one more second I was going to commit suicide.

"I'm going for a walk. You tell anyone that I left and I'll make sure you mysteriously disappear on this trip," I warned angrily.

She just stared at me wide eyed.

I grabbed my jacket and stormed out of the room. I walked down the hall and out of the front door. I patrolled the dark deserted streets, trying to clear my head for what seemed like hours. I usually wasn't so hot headed but something about having to basically play ninja with those kids drove me up the wall.

Man those kids are idiots! I absolutely will never get along with them! They don't understand the first thing about being ninja or about being smart human beings! They're total morons! LOSERS! IDIOTS!

"Hey," someone's sudden voice startled me, pulling me from my angry mental ranting.

I looked up to see Sasuke. My mood darkened even worse but at the same time, lightened in a different way. "What do you want?" I nearly snarled.

He took a step back. "Um, I just noticed that you were gone and I went looking for you." he said, a light blush covering his cheeks and a nervous grin playing across his face. He rubbed the back of his neck.

"I can take care of myself," I grumbled pushing past him. "Now if like, Sakura or Naruto go missing then you should worry. I am perfectly fine on my own."

He caught up to me, giving me an annoyed look. "Do you always have to be so cynical?"

"Do you?" I retorted. "You do the same thing Uchiha. You don't like Naruto or Sakura because you think they'll slow you down. You barely tolerate my dad and the only reason you're half way interested in me is because you think I'm a Sannin. I see right through because I've dealt with guys like you before. You're egotistical and arrogant. You're not half as cool as you think you are and to be honest, you're not that great of a guy either! You should just jump down off of that pedestal before you get a nose bleed or I smack you off of it!" I was basically screaming by the end of my rant.

He gave me a very startled look. "Do you feel better now?" he asked, smirking slightly.

I half snorted, realizing I'd quit walking. "A little," I said, a smirk tugging at my lips as I continued on. "It's just … it's been a long day and I don't tolerate stupidity, egos, or O.C.D. girls very well."

"Wow," Sasuke said. "You must absolutely hate all of us. That must be a record for bad first impressions. I mean, I've gave a few before but I don't think I've ever been called egotistical by a girl I hardly know."

"Well get used to it because I will remind you every chance I get until you get the freaking hint. Just because every other girl like Sakura will trip all over you, doesn't mean I will," I told him sharply. "And you need to stop thinking that just because you're good looking you can get away with being a self-centered brat."

"You think I'm good looking?" he asked pausing in mid step.

I threw my hands in the air and started to storm away. Sasuke laughed and reached out and grabbed my arm. "I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm not trying to be a brat. I just need to get as strong as possible – really fast."

"Killing your brother isn't a good enough reason to be a total ass either," I told him sharply.

Now he looked flat out shocked. "H-how did … how did you ….?" he stammered.

I gave him a serious, heavy look. "I've seen things Sasuke Uchiha," I told him in a low voice. "I've seen things that you wouldn't believe. Things that I'm gonna havd to live with. The images are carved into my mind and I can never get rid of them no matter what I do. You're not the only one that has lost everything and is a afraid to get it all back because you think you'll lose it again. I just want you to know this about that night: you didn't see what you thought you saw. You didn't see the whole story."

His face was twisted into an expression of extreme confusion. "What …? I-I don't understand …"

"You're not supposed to. Not yet anyway," I said before disappearing.

Wow, I thought as I sat on top of a nearby building. I watched as Sasuke stood in a daze for a few moments and then he headed back to the hotel. I went off and opened my big mouth and now Sasuke is going to be grilling me for information all day tomorrow! Fantastic! Now what was it that Master Jiraiya was always saying about running my mouth before I thought about what I was going to say? Uh, I'm coming up blank here...didn't he also say that I had a problem listening to him too?

After five days, we were finally on our way home. Everything went nicely mission – wise. I was suffering from a major headache but I somehow managed to ignore the pain and continue on. The only thing I couldn't hide was the irritation that the headache left me with. Everyone was on my last nerve and I was just about ready to explode. I needed an outlet and wouldn't you know it, fate supplied me with many.

"Man I'm tired," Naruto whined for probably the millionth time that day. "How much further do we have to walk Kakashi-sensei?"

I heard Kakashi sigh. "I already told you Naruto, we aren't stopping until we reach Nohoko Town. That's going to be another two hours."

Even I wanted to groan. I started to but I sensed somebody and stopped walking.

"Um, Kai?" Kakashi said turning to look at me.

"Shh," I said, pressing a finger to my lips as I backed a few steps away from the group.

With a rush, six or seven ninja jumped from the bushes and trees and circled around me.

"You're coming with us Lone Wolf!" the lead ninja declared.

An evil grin played across my face. "Look, before you guys try to capture me I wanna warn you that I've had a bad week and really need to take out some of my aggression." I warned my voice low and daring. I clenched my fists.

None of the ninja moved. A few of them looked at the leader. Then, they attacked, trying to take me down with numbers. Well, that wasn't going to work.

It only took me about nine seconds to disable every single one of the enemy ninja permanently.

"Darn," I said when I finished, dropping the last ninja to the ground. I cracked my knuckles. "I wish that took longer. I still have so much penned up anger. Anybody else wanna fight me?"

I looked around. Naruto looked like he was going to be sick. Sakura looked bewildered. Sasuke looked slightly frightened. Kakashi, well with my father it was impossible to tell because he wore that damn mask all the time.

"What?" I asked innocently, wiping a bit of blood from my lip.

"Um … about that fight …" Naruto began but his voice trailed off.

Finally, chapter one is complete. This is a rewrite of something I wrote ages ago for a different site (one that I owned). I was quite proud of it at the time and now I see much room for improvement. Kai was a bit Mary Sue and I think she still is at times. The main thing I want to change for her in this story is to make her less of a goddess and more of a person.

On a technical scale, Kai is unranked. She wasn't allowed to test to get into the Ninja Academy but she, as previously mentioned, is rumored to be a Sannin since she spent so many years training under Jiraiya.
