Kunoichi of Wind Chronicles

"Kunoichi Academy"

A sunny day in Konoha. A little girl named June Tsukine is getting ready for her fist day at kunoichi school. She just turned 6 and hopes to become a powerful ninja just like her parents. Both her parents are ninjas ranked ANBU, strong and with an excellent reputation with the use of their mysterious element related powers.

The little girl stares at herself in the mirror, small and petite due to her age, with brown chocolate hair pinned up in 2 small pigtails with hair covering her dark chocolate eyes, fair skin and a bright wide smile. She was wearing a nice pink shirt, a pair of short jeans, tall socks and some small black boots. The little girl stared some more at herself.

Mom-Junie! Come down for breakfast! You're going to be late honey!

Junie-coming mom! (rushes down the stairs)

Mom-since it's your first day at Kunoichi School I made you something good for breakfast (puts some pancakes in front of her)

Junie-yummy! Pancakes! (starts eating them ferociously)

Mom-here's your lunch (hands her a pink bag)

Junie-thanks mom! (finishes eating)

Mom-you behave ok?

Junie-of course mom! (closes the door behind her) kunoichi school here I come!

Kiba-what's with all the racket Junie?

Junie-nothing really… (blushes)

Kiba-don't blush like that, I'll start thinking you like me

Junie-maybe I do!

Kiba-did you just declare your love to me?

Junie-just kidding!

Kiba-c'mon we're going to be late

Junie-you're going to walk me to school?

Kiba-well, you're my neighbor, your school is on my way to mine and may I remind you that you're my best friend!

Junie-you're so cute Kiba!

Kiba-tell that to my parents…they say that if I don't pass they won't buy me a dog

Junie-you'll do well

Kiba-you think?

Junie-yep! (they start walking)

Kiba-so are you scared of starting school?

Junie-not really…actually I'm quite excited!! I mean I'm going to turn into an actual kunoichi!

Kiba-wow…didn't know you saw it that way

Junie-don't you Kiba?

Kiba-actually I think it's not really what I truly want

Junie-what do you truly want then?

Kiba-that's way too many questions for a kid you're age Junie

Junie-wait Kiba…(thinks) we're the same age!

Kiba-but I'm more mature than you!

Junie-ok…I get it…

Kiba-look, there's kunoichi school

Junie-kunoichi school!! Good bye Kiba! (runs off)

Kiba-I hope she does ok… (smiling with a tiny drop on his forehead)

Inside Kunoichi School…

Junie enters the room running and panting.

Miss-why little miss, you're a bit late

Junie-sorry sensei-sama…I kind of lost track of time? (small smile)

Miss-a kunoichi must never be late to an appointment, understood?

Junie-yes…

Miss-may it never happen again

Junie-promise! I promise I'll do my best!

Miss-well since you're so into kunoichi school, why don´t you start introducing yourself to your new classmates, c'mon darling, don't be shy

Junie-well…ok… (stares at the room of girls) my name is Junie Tsukine…I'm 6 years old and… (starts counting fingers) I'll turn seven in 9 months

Miss-is that all?

Junie-my favorite color is pink and I love bunnies!

Miss-(sweatdrop) why did you decide to come to kunoichi school?

Junie-well…both my parents are ninjas and I wish to become as strong as them

Miss-well that sounds better, what do you say you take a seat?

Junie-yep! (sits down between two girls)

The class went on as the other girls finished introducing themselves. Junie felt extremely excited at the new adventure put before her. The fist day of school ended up well, they barely did nothing, but still Junie was quite happy. When they were set free, she walked out and found kiba waiting up for her.

Junie-hi Kiba! (runs at him)

Kiba-so? How was it?

Junie-what?

Kiba-well…Kunoichi school dummy!

Junie-oh! Great! I mean I loved it

Kiba-really?

Junie-yeah…we didn't do much today but tomorrow is going to be great!

Kiba-It's nice hearing you say that

Junie-(giggles)

Kiba-man, I bet they loved you

Junie-I hope so…

Kiba-c'mon let's go home

Junie-yep!

At Home…

Mom-Junie, how did your fist day of school go?

Junie-great mom, I met a lot of girls today

Mom-that sounds great

Dad-so you're ready to become a kunoichi?

Junie-daddy! (goes hug him) I'm going to be the best kunoichi! Promise!

Dad-I can see you've got determination Junie

Mom-just like you were honey…

Junie-dad was also a kunoichi?

Dad-no honey…Daddy was a ninja boy, kunoichi school is for ninja girls

Junie-oh…oops…sorry daddy

Dad-I love this kid (hugs her tightly)

Mom-well that's enough father-daughter love for today, dinner is getting cold

Dad-sounds like mommy is jealous…

Junie-mommy's jelly

Mom-stop spoiling her

Dad-ok, sorry let's go junie

Junie-what's for dinner?

Mom-chicken

Junie-I love chicken! (hugs her mom)

Mom-Junie…

Dad-see? You can't get mad at that angel face

Mom-with a demon inside

Dad-don't compare her to that boy…our Junie is a jewel compared to him

Junie-who?

Dad-nobody honey, race you to the table?

Junie-I'll beat daddy this time

So school went on for little Junie and Kiba. Though Junie was learning lots of cool stuff about being a kunoichi, she would be sad sometimes for not finding her element power that was supposed to be hers only. Her dad had fire related powers and her mom had water related powers. But Junie had nothing. Another thing was that many of the girls didn't like her mucho for being hyperactive and quite annoying. Junie felt left out many times but still tried to do her best. She even admired one of the girls: Ino Yamanaka. Junie said she wanted to be as good as her but ended up messing up everything she did…getting a bit sadder everyday. Until one day having lunch…

Junie-lunch, lunch, lunch (singing to herself)

Hinata-why are you singing to your lunch?

Junie- (looks at the girl) it's so it will taste better

Hinata-does it work?

Junie-kind of…I mean my lunch always tastes delicious

Hinata-(giggles) you're funny…

Junie-thanks (smiles wide) the names Junie

Hinata-I know…the…annoying…Junie

Junie-yeah…(fading smile) that's me…

Hinata-the names Hi…Hinata

Junie-nice to meet you, wanna have lunch with me?

Hinata-(affirms with head)

Junie-well have a seat!

Hinata-I…I don't think you're annoying

Junie-well you're the first to say so

Hinata-actually…I think you're cool

Junie-but not as cool as Ino…

Hinata-you're cooler

Junie-really? You think so?

Hinata-you're the only girl that's been nice to me

Junie-well you too

Yuri-well look here, if it isn't the annoying girl and the white-eyed dummy

Junie-hey leave Hinata alone!

Yuri-the two outcasts together, that's so cute

Junie-leave us alone!

Yuri-Hinata why don't you byakugan us? Are you afraid?

Junie-I told you to leave her alone

Yuri-try to stop me, white-eyed dummy tell her why we call you that

Junie-don't ever call her that again

Yuri-white-eyed dummy! What's the annoying girl going to do?

Junie-you asked for it! (punches her face)

Yuri-my face! You stupid girl! (takes out a kunai) want a fight? You'll get one!

Hinata-Junie! Be careful!

Junie-bring it on!

They start to fight and Junie has quite a lot of disadvantage and Yuri gives her a cut in her arm and Junie flinches. Hinata is very worried but can't do nothing, but as soon as Yuri tries to hurt her again Junie rises her hand and screams sending a powerful blast of wind towards Yuri who flies far from her into the ground.

Junie-wow… (stares at her hand)

Hinata-are you ok?

Junie-Hinata…what was that?

Hinata-Junie, why didn't you tell me you had wind powers?

Junie-because I don't have powers

Ino-you do now

Junie-Ino!

Ino-that was impressive

Sakura-very cool

Junie-why…thanks…

Ino-guess you're not so annoying after all (leaves)

Junie-I have powers…I can't wait to tell kiba!

Hinata-who is kiba?

Junie-my best friend! And from now on you too are my best friend!!

Hinata-well thanks…

At home that night…

Junie-mommy! I have powers!!

Dad-what do you mean Junie?

Junie-today at school! I control wind!

Dad-my little angel is a wind controller! (carries her and twirls around with her)

Mom-Junie that's great honey…

Junie-what's wrong mom?

Mom-well honey…

Dad-we're going to tell her right now?

Junie-tell me what?

Mom-you see…we've been called

Junie-called? For what?

Dad-our ANBU abilities are required by Lord Hokage

Junie-you mean…

Mom-we're leaving tomorrow

Junie-you can't! what about me?

Dad-we'll come back as soon as possible

Junie-but…

Mom-understand it's our duty as ninjas

Junie-I don't want you to go!! (goes running to her room and starts crying)

Dad-guess she didn't take it too well…

Mom-leave her alone

Dad-why?

Mom-she needs to grow up, we can't spoil her anymore, she will be a ninja too someday

Dad-you're right

Mom-she needs to understand, in less than a year she'll be going to ninja academy, we can't let her be a child forever

Dad-I'm going to miss her so much

Mom-we'll come back soon

Dad-yeah… (sits in the table)

Junie had cried herself to sleep. Early in the morning her parents entered her room in their ANBU outfits and kissed her goodbye. Junie waked up a few hours later hoping it had all been a bad dream, but when she saw she was all alone she felt sad and tears poured down her pink cheeks. Someone knocked at the door. It was Kiba.

Kiba-Junie, you're going to be late to school again… (sees her crying) what's the matter?

Junie-my parents left…to a mission

Kiba-but why do you cry? They'll come back sooner than you can imagine

Junie-I'm afraid…

Kiba-of what?

Junie-being alone…

Kiba-but you're not alone

Junie-Kiba, you go ahead, I'm not going to school today…I don't feel so good…

Kiba-well then I'm staying with you!

Junie-(smiles) thanks Kiba

Kiba-what are best friends for?

Junie-for being with you in the good times and bad times

Kiba-you've got the idea

So Kiba spent the day with Junie. The next day she was able to go to school, but the days kept passing by and she didn't get any news from her parents. Every afternoon she'd wait in front of the telephone waiting for a call or staring at the door to see if the mailman left any letters. By the 6th day she was very worried. That afternoon she stood in front of the door as always and heard a knock on the door. She got suddenly excited thinking it was her parents coming back. But to her surprise in was another ninja who stood upon her.

Junie-hello…

Ninja-June Tsukine? Daughter of Hiroshi and Reika Tsukine?

Junie-yes…that's me, what's the matter mister ninja?

Ninja-you're so small…

Junie-no way! In 8 months I'll be 8 years old!

Ninja-(smiles) I don't know how to tell this to a little girl…

Junie-what happened? Where are mommy and daddy?

Ninja-Hiroshi and Reika…they both died

Junie-(speechless)

Ninja-I'm so sorry to have to tell you this…

Junie-no… (falls)

Ninja-the burial will be tomorrow… (the ninja leaves)

Junie-it has to be a bad dream…mommy and daddy can't be the dead…they can't! (starts crying hopelessly)

Kiba-what's wrong Junie? (enters running) what happened?

Junie-Kiba! (hugs him tightly) mommy and daddy aren't coming back ever!

Kiba-but why?

Junie-they're both dead!! (cries)

Kiba-Junie… (hugs her stronger) remember my words…you'll never be alone, I'll always be here for you…

Junie-Kiba… (keeps crying on his arms)

Junie had been very affected by the news of her parent's death. The burial will be held the next day in the afternoon. That afternoon it had been raining as if Junie's tears were falling down. She walked silently in her black dress with Kiba and Hinata by her side. As she saw her parent's coffins one last time before they were buried six feet under. Junie left a pink rose on each coffin and fell on the grass crying. Suddenly she felt a warm hand on her shoulder.

Junie-(surprised)

Anko-wow…so you're June? Reika's daughter?

Junie-yes… (still sobbing)

Anko-I'm so sorry, I didn't introduce myself, the name's Anko, your mother used to be my sensei back then when she was a jounin

Junie-Anko-chan?

Anko-that's what your mom called me, my, you've grown so much, I haven't seen you since you were 2

Junie-Anko knows Junie?

Anko-of course, your mom begged me to come see you

Junie-mommy…?

Anko-guess you're very affected about the news…

Junie-I feel so lonely…

Anko don't be so sad, remember, It's not the end of the world you know

Junie-but what am I going to do now?

Anko-you know…you can come live with me

Junie-really? You'd do that for me?

Anko-you are Reika's daughter and I believe it's my duty to take care of you

Junie-well…

Anko-how about I first treat you to some ramen? You look like you need a nice meal

Junie-ok…what's ramen?

Anko-you've never had ramen before?

Junie-nope

Anko-my god, what did Reika do to you all these years, Ramen is the most delicious food on the planet

Junie-Junie wants some ramen

Anko-let's go (goes walking with Junie)

In the Ramen Shop…

Anko-So June, you like it?

Junie-it's delicious! Can I have another bowl?

Anko-of course!

Junie-bye the way…you can call me Junie (eats another bowl)

Anko-Junie? Sounds cute

Junie-my daddy put me that nickname

Anko-yeah…Hiroshi was kind of childish sometimes…

Junie-yummy! Thanks a lot Anko-san!

Anko-just call me Anko, so Junie what are you going to do?

Junie-Junie has made a decision, Junie will go live with Anko

Anko-sounds good, we can go get your stuff right away

At Junie's house…

Anko-is that all?

Junie-I think so…wait a second!

Anko-what's wrong?

Junie-I need to say goodbye to someone

Anko-ok, I'll wait up for you, hurry up

Junie-thanks Anko! (goes running to the house next door)

Kiba-what's happening Junie? You left so soon from the cemetery

Junie-I'm here to say goodbye

Kiba-where are you going?

Junie-Anko…my mom's student decided to take care of me

Kiba-oh…I see…you're going to live with her?

Junie-yeah…

Kiba-so we're no longer going to be neighbors?

Junie-yeah…

Kiba-but that doesn't mean we'll stop being friends

Junie-I'm going to miss you kiba! (hugs him)

Kiba-we'll meet sooner than you can imagine

Junie-goodbye!

Kiba-see you soon!

So Junie went to live with Anko, and in a few months graduated with honors from kunoichi school. Now she awaits entering Ninja academy and soon become an elite ninja. Even though she still misses her parents, she has decided it will no longer affect her, for she will fulfill the promise she made back then to her dad. She promised him she would become the best ninja ever.
