Chapter 1: The Kitsune Shimai
Normal P.O.V.
The village of Konoha, home too most of the strongest and wises Shinobi in all of the Fire Country. Within the city you could hear the laughter of its inhabitants. See the smiles and laughs of those who were enjoying the Festival of Fools and the many lanterns that light the village, making it glow in the distance. Almost everyone was here enjoying themselves… Well ALMOST everyone.
On the tallest cliff overlooking these low guarded village, perched on the edge was a girl. She is known by many names. Princess or Saishoku… Just to name a few, but her true and original identity is Kyuubi Uzumaki, the oldest princess from the Uzumaki Clan. Her long unbound blood red hair that went past her butt swayed in the cool breeze. Her ruby red eyes scanned the town below her. Just under each eye were three whisker marks. Giving her the appearance of a fox. Most of her tan skin and slender figure was covered by her white and red kimono. One sleeve stopped about one and a half inch from her shoulder while the other sleeve went passed her fingertips. The top was about two and a half inches apart, showing a lot of cleavage. The bottom was opened about a half an inch from her thigh, showing her toned legs and blood red female Shinobi, heeled sandals. The kimono was all white with red trim, red flower pedals falling at the bottom, and stopped at the end of her shoes, barely touching the ground. When the wind blew a little harder, she brought her right hand up and run it through her hair and to her ends. When her hand was raised, the sleeve of the kimono slid down reviling a scroll in her hand.
This was known as a mission scrolls. On it you'll see the petitioner, the item they wanted you to steal, and the person they wanted dead. She had been up here for about thirty minutes or so after receiving the scroll… just thinking. Nothing more. Nothing less. Soon she would have to interrupt her little sister's "fun". She walked all the way to the edge of the cliff, which was taller than the walls of Konoha, and laughed as she looked down.
"Hump. I've jumped from higher."
She sighed before turning her back to the cliff. Her arms reached out, into the empty space on either side of her, scroll tight in her grip, she leaned backwards, and fell. Eyes closed, arms crossed over her chest, her breath was perfectly normal as she plumped to the ground. She added a couple of spins and did a back flip so she could land on her feet. Once she landed, she began to run, leaving a trail of rocks and dust behind her as she speed toward the gates of her home village of Konohagakure.
…
…
…
Once she arrived at the gates she slowed to a nice gentle walk so she wouldn't cause suspicion. As she walked through the village, people bowed and smiled at her, never noticing the mission scroll carefully hidden under the, lone, long-sleeved of her kimono. She swiftly walked over to her manor and opened the door, studying all the "people" who were known as nothing more than "quests" in their home.
"Where is she?" Kyuubi said with a slight growl.
Soon she would open the door to the living room, where even more of their "guest" were and there was the person she was looking for. Her younger sister… Naruto Uzumaki, the youngest princess of the Uzumaki Clan. She was sitting on the long extended couch with at least one guy one her arms or ankles.
"Poor little sis… She looks so bored."
Naruto, wearing a fake smile, looked up at her older sister.
"Yo Kyuubi. Where have you been?"
"Thinking. Now come on. It's time."
"Finally." Naruto whispered before putting another fake smile on as she stood and looked at all her gentlemen suitors. "Sorry boys, but it looks like I have business to attend to."
Naruto turned around and sighed with relief as all the guys groaned. She stopped next to her sister and whispered a "Thanks" before the two headed to their Study Room. Kyuubi sat at the desk and leaned back in her chair while Naruto leaned against the wall.
Though Naruto maybe two years younger than her older sister… If you didn't know their real ages you would think they were twins… sort of. Naruto has a lot of the same features as Kyuubi except her hair is a rich and shinny blond and her eyes are ocean blue. She wore her kimono top similar to Kyuubi's except both her sleeves reach past her finger tips and its colors are light blue and orange instead. The whole thing was light blue with orange trim, orange flower peddles, which fall at the bottom, and orange female Shinobi heels. She sighed once again as she ran her tan fingers through her long blond locks.
"Honestly, I don't know why the hell Mother and Father continue inviting these "people" over during our many celebrations. I don't know how much fuckin longer I can take putting on that shitty fake smile and entertaining "them"."
"Naruto, your tongue." Kyuubi commanded.
"Sorry sis. Can't help it." Naruto replied with humor in her voice.
"Besides you know it's to keep them busy while we handle things."
"Yeah. Yeah. I know what you mean, but what's the point of being famous if no one knows who you are?"
"Would you prefer we'd get caught and sentenced to death by more than half of the Fire Country? I don't know about you, but I plan to do this all the way into my fifties like Granny Tsunade."
"No, I guess not. Ha-ha. Think Granny would teach us that jutsu when we reach her age?" Naruto said as she sighed and laughed.
"Ha-ha. If she's around. Besides…" Kyuubi started before she got up and walked over to put a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Don't we get enough attention for being Princess of The Uzumaki Clan? If you're tired of the attention you get now than imagine what it would be like if they found out we were The Kitsune Shimai."
"Ew. Just thinking about it makes my body cringe in distaste at even the thought."
"You see. Now focus. Here's our new mission scroll." Kyuubi said as she handed Naruto the scroll.
Naruto took the scroll from Kyuubi's hands and began reading it. Her ocean blue eyes widen in shock, but then a smirk appeared across her face as she rolled the scroll back up.
"Looks like the Uchihas finally reached their limit when it comes to pissing off the wrong people." Naruto said as she handed Kyuubi the scroll.
"Yeah well their death is our gain." Kyuubi said with a smirk.
"This Karasuhebi person really must want them out of the way for this much money." Naruto replied.
"Come let us rest. Tomorrow we'll go see Yorozuya, get our weapons, do our debriefing, leave tomorrow night, camp, do our job, and be back by sun up the next day."
"That's my sister. The girl with the all the plans."
The two sisters retired to their rooms for the night. The festival had long ended, people returned home, and Konoha's streets where quiet. This was the first time they were able to fall fast asleep and have pleasant dreams.
The Next Day
Naruto's P.O.V.
Today, both Kyuubi and I woke up feeling more restful than ever before. We ate and by one o'clock we left to go into the village to gather our supplies. We decided to split up so we could get our supplies faster. I headed toward the weapon store while Kyuubi headed towards the book store.
"Probably gonna read up on all the different poisons for us to use."
I was supposed to get the weapons while Kyuubi went to make the poisons and first aid stuff.
"I was never interested in making poisons anyway. I leave that stuff to my sister to deal with. It's all "troublesome" as Shikamaru would put it."
The weapon store is owned and ran by Yorozuya, our family's one and only weapon merchant, and the only other person who knows our family's secret. His family has been in good with our family for years, so it would only make sense.
"Plus, he has all the best weapons."
It was strange. The minute I started walking I felt someone's gaze on me the whole time. I didn't think anything of it, but when this person made the exact same moves I did, I started to get edgy. I finally stepped in to the store and handed the lady at the counter my scroll.
"Hello My Lady. How may I help you today?"
"Give this to Yorozuya please."
"Right away Ma'ma."
When the lady went back to get my order filled I looked up at the manly figure besides me.
I didn't know his name, but I wish I could find out. He had this midnight black hair with navy blue streaks in it; pale skin, black eyes, and a body to die for. He turned his head to look at me, but I just turned my head away so he couldn't see the blush on my cheeks.
"What's a cutie like you doing in a place like this?" The black haired man said to me.
"Hump. Don't worry about it."
"What? Do you wanna carry a weapon so you wouldn't be attacked by others who just want to sneak a peek at your great beauty?" He said in a teasing voice.
"Be careful what you say little boy. I'm a lot tougher than you'd think."
"Hn."
"Who does this teme think he is insulting me like that? Though I do have to admit… he is really cute."
" Here you go Miss Naruto." Yorozuya said as he handed me my new weapons.
"Thanks Old Man. Here~" I started to put the money down but was stopped when the pale man grabbed my wrist.
"Allow me. It's the least I could do for insulting you."
"Fine whatever."
The stranger gave Yorozuya the money while I put the weapons up. When I start to walk out of the store… he followed me. Soon his steps were in the same timing as mine.
"So your names Naruto?"
"What of it?"
"Nothing just curious. I had heard rumors of a young blond princess whose beauty was equal to that of Aphrodite herself…"
"Oh really. And this has to do with you stalking me how?"
"I got curious. I wanted to see this "Blond Beppin" of which they spoke of… Sadly I'm a little disappointed…"
"Excuse me?"
He didn't say a word. He only just grabbed my hand and bent down to kiss it. I looked away in embarrassment as a blush crept on my face again.
"You didn't let me finish. I was only disappointed in the rumors. They do not serve your beauty any justice. I think you are better than Aphrodite herself." He said with a big grin on his face.
"Why thank you. So you to know the art of the Greek Gods and Goddess?"
"Of course. They're my favorite subject to study."
"Well looks like I have to go. See ya."
"Wait! When will I get to see you again?"
"Well he's a lot different from any other boys I've met, I'll give him that much. I guess I could indulge him just a little bit."
"You'll only get to see me again if you can catch me after today. Good luck little boy. You're gonna need it."
"A challenge huh? Ha-ha I love a girl who's feisty. I hope you're a fast runner and a good hider. By the way my name's Sasuke."
"Well Sasuke, it was… fun meeting you."
"Likewise."
I strolled happily away. His actions surprised me today. No one has ever kissed my hand or complimented me like that before.
"That was defiantly interesting. Almost makes me wanna see him again and sees how he stacks up to the challenge… Almost."
Itachi's P.O.V.
Today was the first day me and my brother, Sasuke, decided to visit this village. I'm actually glad we did. I was walking past the book store when I noticed this blood red haired vixen in the window.
"Now there's a site to see."
The only reason me or my brother wanted to visit this boring town was just to see if we can catch a glimpse of these fair maiden princess.
"Looks like I found one. Hump. I wonder if Sasuke found the other?"
I casually walked in and pretended to look at books when in reality I was checking out that vixen. Her blood red hair was tied in a ponytail in the back of her head and out of her face.
"Probably so she could read without worrying about her hair getting in the way."
She had the brightest reddest eyes I've ever seen, adorable whisker markers on her cheeks, curves galore, and the most ravishing tan skin I'd ever seen. Slowly I made my way over to her.
"Go away you pest." She snapped.
"She could sense me and yet she doesn't look up. Odd."
"Hello Miss. Would you care to give me your name?"
"Didn't you hear me the first time? Get away from me you pervert."
"Pervert?"
"I can read it. It's all over your face you leech. Now be gone. Your presents annoy me."
I felt a little shock, but even more interested.
"Looks like she got some fight in her after all. This ought to be interesting."
I took the book out of her hands. She tried to get it, but being that she's four inches shorter than me, she had some trouble.
"HEY! GIVE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW YOU PREVRT!"
"Nope. And stop calling me that."
"WHY THE HELL NOT? YOU'RE THE ONE WHOSE HOARSSING ME!"
When I looked down at her, her cheeks were puffed out.
"Aw she's pouting."
I quickly Flash stepped behind her and covered her mouth with one of my hands while the other was wrapped around her whole midsection.
"You'll have to catch me first." I whispered in her ear and disappeared before her fist made a connection with my body.
When I reappeared, it was in the empty gardens by the outskirts of the village. As I waited for my vixen to show up I decide to read the book.
"The World's Deadliest Poisons"? Hump. This isn't a book normal girls, or princess for that matter, would be caught dead with. So does it interest her so much?"
I began reading. This book only gave me a hint as to what kind of person she maybe.
"She's dangerous."
"You got that right."
I looked up to see my vixen glaring at me.
"It's time to end this game. I've caught you like you asked, so give me my book back I promise you won't get hurt… badly."
"Hump. Is that a threat my sweet red haired vixen?"
"Keep annoying me and it'll be more than a promise."
"Ok. Ok. You've caught me."
I got up from the edge of the water fountain I was sitting on and took a couple of steps back.
"Here."
I flung the book at her and she caught it without even trying.
"Impressive."
"I'm glad I was able to entertain you so much. Now if you'll excuse me."
I grabbed her wrist, held it into the air and pulled her into my chest.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"
"Just examining you. Huh, you're a lot prettier than those people say you are."
"Really. And what, might I ask, do people say about me?"
"Well they say you're beauty could make the rain stop." I said as I let her go.
"Really. So what do you say?" She said with a grin on her face.
"I'd say… that your beauty could do that and more. I'd say that your beauty could part the sea if you wanted to."
"Hn. Brown Noser."
"That maybe true, but I speak only the truth."
I started walking towards the roses and bent to pluck one.
"A rose by any other name would be just as sweet, but if it were to posses you're name than it would be a crying shame. No one deserves your name more than you do." I placed the rose in her head, where the hair crunchy held her hair together. "By the way…" I took her hand in mine. I couldn't help but smile when the blush on her face grew even redder and her eyes widen in shock. "What is your name… My fair Princess?"
"Kyuubi."
"Just as I thought. A beautiful name… for a beautiful woman. It was very nice to meet you. I'm sorry, but I must take my leave. I hope to see you again Princess Kyuubi."
I started to leave, but stopped when she grabbed my wrist.
"Wait. I didn't even catch your name. That's rude you know."
"I am Itachi."
"Itachi huh? That name suits you."
"KYUUBI! HEY SIS! WHERE ARE YOU? I'VE GOT THE STUFF! COME ON!"
"Well looks like I better go."
"See you soon Princess."
"Kyuubi. Only call me Kyuubi."
"Very well then."
I watched as she started walking off in the direction of the voice that was beckoning to her. At first she took the rose out of her hair and was going to throw it away, but only held it in her hands even tighter and walked away. I turned way to start looking for my little brother. Even though we spent those couple of minutes together, I could tell…
"I'm going to like her."
That Night
Kyuubi's P.O.V.
"I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM! HOW DARE HE BUTTER ME UP SO WELL AND LET MY MIND SLIP."
Every time I got mad I would automatically look at the rose he gave me and start smiling.
"Ok well maybe I only hate him a little… just a little."
That night, Naruto and I began our preparations for our mission. Once our bags were packed, we dressed in our favorite Shinobi attire.
I wore a blood red tank top with a black swirl on the back, black shorts that stopped at my wrists, wrist length, black gloves with the fingers showing, and blood red ankle high female Shinobi heeled open toed sandals. My two swords would be crossed on my back, a poison pouch on my right leg, and my first aid pouch would be on my left leg. When I do my killings I prefer for my hair to be in a tight ponytail.
Naruto would wear a black tank top with an orange swirl on the back like mine, an orange skirt that also stopped at her wrists, orange gloves like mine, and black knee high female Shinobi open toed sandals. She also would wear this black belt so she could carry her multiple knives on each side of her waist, a poison pouch on her right leg, and a first aid pouch behind her. Her hair would always be down, even when she kills.
Right now we are currently in our Mission Debriefing Room where our parents, King Minato and Queen Kushina, will give us the specifics of our mission before our departure. I paid attention, but my mind kept wondering to that rose that I left sitting on my dresser.
Whenever we were on missions, our general name would be "The Kitsune Shimai", "The Fox Sisters", but we are each known for our "gifts". I specialize greater than that of Naruto in the Assassination field and because of my red hair I am known as, "Reddo Kitsune Kyoukan", "Red Fox Assassin", while Naruto, because of her specialty in the art of thievery and quick speed, she is named "Issoku Kitsune Kaitou", "The Fast Runner Fox Thief". Right after our debriefing we would slip or white fox masks on and head out, but tonight was different. Tonight we hesitated when Father told us the Names of the specific Uchihas who were suppose to kill.
"Now my perfect princesses the names of the Uchihas you're suppose to kill are Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha, King and Queen of the whole Fire Country, but they also have two sons. They are suppose to be leaving tonight, but anything was to go wrong and they remain there… I want you to kill them."
"Don't worry Father we got it. Like you always say… "Spear NO Mercy, Leave NO one Alive.", right?" Naruto said with a toothy grin on her face.
"That's my girls. Now the names of the sons are Prince Sasuke Uchiha and Prince Itachi Uchiha." Our Father said as he tossed their files toward us. Naruto took the file on Sasuke while I checked out the file on Itachi.
"This can't be happening."
"Aw and just when I thought that maybe I could like him." Naruto whispered as she bit her lip. "Oh well it's a good thing I don't or this would've been much harder."
I could tell she was lying, but I know my sister. She isn't the type to believe in love at first sight.
"Naruto's right. It's a good thing I'm not attracted to Itachi." Just as I said that an ache in my heart made itself known to me. "Or am I?"
