Okay, so I'm going to try my hand at a Itachi fic. He won't show up for a few chapters... so... yeah... Please enjoy, and review!

"Taijuu…" whined your little sister Chihiro, "Why don't you just listen to Tomiju so we can rest for a while? We've been walking forever…" Chihiro just moped around, trudging her feet so you could hear all the little dirt rocks collide with the ground. The sound just made you want to grit your teeth together, which she knew you despised.

You grit your teeth before saying slowly, "The faster we walk, the faster we can get there, now hurry up!" You fix your long, jet black hair and look towards your older sister Tomiju. "Hey, Tomiju, why are we going to Konohagakure again? You know I didn't want to leave home."

Tomiju just sighed. She was, after all, a great strategist and two years your senior. She looked up at the clouds before answering, "Chihiro needs to go to Konohagakure to take the Chuunin exams. You were lucky to take them at home."

You make a long, dramatic sigh and look at Chihiro, who was busy setting up camp for the night. "Chihiro… why are you setting up camp so early? We haven't stopped yet."

"Taijuu, please stop being a nuisance. You are seventeen, and Chihiro here is fifteen. She acts more mature than you."

"Hai, Okaa-san." you say sarcastically, while Tomiju gives you a hard glare.

"Why do you insist on being such a child, Taijuu?" she says sighing.

"Well, I am Taijuu of the Flames, Tohaijo's daughter."

"Aren't we all, Taijuu? After all, I am his first born daughter." says Tomiju.

"And I his third born!" piped up Chihiro.

You sweat dropped at Tomiju's comment. "Well, aren't we all lucky?" you say sarcastically.

"Taijuu…" Tomiju started. "Listen, Taijuu. Otou-san taught me a technique that was meant for his first born, who was supposed to be the Fire controller, but instead he got me, the Earth controller. Now, I can't use it, since it has a drawback… but I'll tell you this once you get to the maturity level that you need to use it. Deal?"

"Why didn't you say anything about this new 'technique' before?" you ask.

"Here, follow me, I'll tell you something that Otou-san told me. Chihiro, you stay here and gather up some firewood."

"Hai, Onee-san!" said Chihiro brightly, getting up from the ground and wiping off her light brown short kimono, and fixing her brown hair, her gold eyes glinting in the setting sun. She

wore just one long white glove on her left hand and long white boots (more like long ninja shoes but whatever)

Once you and Tomiju had gotten away from the group, you took a deep look at your older sister. She really was pretty, wearing a red armor-suit, sort of like a one-piece bathing suit. She wore long black gloves that showed the fingers and had gold on the ends and a shoulder-plate on her left shoulder. She wore really long black boots (more like ninja shoes, but whatever) and her long, brown hair sparkled in the sun, making it seem much lighter than it really was. A black choker finished her outfit.

"Tomiju, why is it that Father keeps all of his secrets from me? Do you know why this is?"

Tomiju once again sighed and looked at the clouds. "I do, but I am in no liberty to tell you so. If you look deep inside yourself, you might come to a conclusion about it."

"But, I still don't know why! Is there some sort of dark secret of some sort? Or some weapon?"

"That, I cannot say, since Otou-san was the only one to know. Demo, he is no longer with us to explain this to you. We must be getting back; it's almost dark."

You follow her back to camp, where Chihiro was busily making the fire and humming a tune. You sit on a nearby tree branch by jumping into it. You catch a weird scent, coming through the trees. "Tomiju, can you sense that?" You look into the direction of the scent. "It's coming closer… I'm going to take a look…"

"Taijuu, no! You don't know what's out there!" cried Chihiro.

Too late. you think as you speed into the direction of the weird scent. You head into the thickest part of the forest, but still the owner of the scent was nowhere to be seen. Well, the scent has gotten stronger, and there are two more with it, but I still can't see them! You decide to go west, since that was a reasonable direction to go.

You arrive at a cleared area, which had a lake near it. You walk over to the lake and look at yourself. A young woman, with long, jet-black hair, and gold eyes was wearing a blue armor-suit (like Tomiju's) that showed a little bit of cleavage with long black gloves that showed the fingers with black straps that were on each of your arms. You wore normal black ninja shoes and a black strap around your left thigh.

You turn around to see a kunai being stuck near your neck. A figure dressed in all black with a hood shaped like cat ears was holding it…
