Chapter 1 : Death in the Fog
"My Lady we're approaching the bridge now," said the coach driver as a red carriage, that bore the symbol of the Kurama clan, slowly entered a fog bank. A sweet voice replied, "Thank you for all your hard work." "No thanks is needed, its our duty to protect you on your journey," the driver responded.
"Damn this fog its getting thicker I can't even see the road," complained a young man riding shotgun, "why won't something interesting happen." "Quit complaining you should feel honored to escort Lady Saki," scolded the driver. "Screw you man," back fired the man riding shotgun. The driver started to retaliate, however a force smashed into the right side of the vehicle.
A paper bomb had detonated on the right side of the coach. The impact of the blast flipped the carriage, as shrapnel from the wheels scared the side panels, and it tossed the two guards off onto the side of the road. At this, four ninjas appeared out of the fog each wearing identical outfits which include: dark blue jumpsuits, dark gray flake jackets, kunai holsters on their right thigh, and head protectors. The first two covered the guards while the third rushed over to the carriage, and the last brought up his guard preparing for any possible threat. The two on top of the guards drew their kunai out and thrusted them towards the guards necks; while the one approaching downed vehicle continued on his path unopposed. He reached the door to the coach. As he flung open the door, he said, "Come one out do you want to do this the easy way or the hard...hmph."
The ninja received a kick to the crotch as a young woman got out. She was wear a purple silk kimono with a crimson obi. As she emerged from the cabin, she shouted, "Serves you right you fucking dumb ass... uh" the young lady coughed up blood. "Alright you bitch. Now, we'll kill your servants." Now, the two ninja covering the guards raised there Kunai, as the other two approached the young lady. As the two guards were stabbed, smoke rushed out revealing wooden bodies of a ninja. The assailants exclaimed, "What?" Immediately afterwards, wooden spears burst out of the ground plunged through their bodies killing them almost instantly. While this occurred, a hand wielding a ball of lightning slammed through one of the ninjas, approaching the coach, head ejecting a mixture gray matter and blood. The other ninja reacted, "What the..." but, he was cut off as a katana went through his lower jaw, injected into his brain and through his skull. These people who killed the attackers all wore identical masks each featuring a leaf on the forehead. They also wore: light gray flake jackets with a black undershirt, matching forearm guards, shin guards, and black scandals. The one with lightning jutting out of his hand had white hair which spike over to the left, and the other had jet black hair, which was held back in a pony tail and he featured bangs. Suddenly two identical ninjas appeared one with short brunet hair the other with long brown hair. They all turned to young lady, "Lady Saki," exclaimed the short brown hair in a masculine tone. "I'm fine don't worry about ...uh, " Saki said as she coughed up more blood, which splattered onto Yamato's mask. "Please don't strain yourself. Rin see if you can do anything her," said the white haired shinobi. The long haired Kunoichi replied, "Yes Kakashi," and she began applying her medical ninjutsu skills to Lady Saki.
As Rin treated the young woman, the other three Leaf shinobi began to investigate the dead ninja. "Hm, their missing nin from the Village Hidden in the Mist," Kakashi commented as he noticed a horizontal slash through the center of their head protectors. "Now the real question is who sent these guys," exclaimed Yamato, feeling as tough he had been the first to think of it. "No duh, any Idiot such as yourself could have figured that out," commented his unidentified comrade. Yamato quickly retaliated, "back off you stoic piece of shit!" "Thats enough you two," Kakashi swiftly interrupted, "we need to get lady Saki out of here. Reinforcements could be on the way as we speak. Rin how is she doing." Rin replied, "she appears to be stable and she has stopped coughing, but I can't be certain without sophisticated medical equipment." "Alright Yamato carry the lady and we'll leave asap," ordered Kakashi. "Yes senpai," Yamato replied.
As Yamato approached the carcass of the downed vehicle, a mighty gust of wind rushed through the area as what appeared to be a blade of light slashed through the space between Yamato and Rin. This blade hit Rin cutting above the waistline slicing through her body. The length of the wound extended from right before her bellybutton and outward. The shockwave from this attack throw Yamato and the others back. As he impacted the ground, Yamato could feel some of his ribs crack as he landed belly down. The others hit the ground mask first knocking them out cold. Yamato attempted to move, however his body didn't respond to his will.
He could only watch as man wearing a black cloak which was adjusted to the point that Yamato could not identify the person the only noticeable quality about him was the long katana he wielded, which appeared to be about seven feet long. He walked slowly over toward the two ladies. While, Saki desperately attempted to patch up Rin's massive wound unsuccessfully; the veiled being quickly picked up Lady Saki by the waist, her face was at equal height as the strangers butt as well as facing the same direction.
He then walked over toward the two unconscious shinobis. He, then, brought his sword to bear raising the it high as he prepared to execute the two. But before he could raise it to the zenith of his swing a voice boomed, "STOP!" Yet another man appeared in front of Yamato. He was also cloaked, except the aesthetics of his cloak were different. It was white featuring: blue flames at the bottom, with a lion who held a red spiral like orb in its might jaws, which was centered on his back. The first stranger replied, "what do you intend to do with these weaklings, or are you here to stop me from taking this beautiful little flower?" His voice sounded cold and void of any fear, or mercy.
As they continued to converse Yamato's hearing began to deafen as he began to black out. Before his eyes closed all the way he saw the man with the katana begin to walk away with the beautiful maiden away. He could see her mouth move but couldn't hear what she was saying, instead he heard the sound of a man saying, "Captain Yamato. Captain Yamato," The voice grew steadily louder, and more annoying, as the source appeared to moving closer. Then the irritating sound of a megaphone could be heard, about a four feet from his face. The voice then yelled, "CAPTIN YAMATO!" The drowsy jounin suddenly sprung to life ejecting a stump of wood from his arm to smash the source of the noise. As his eyes began to open he could barley see what he had hit. All he could recognize was an orange and yellow blob flying into his bathroom. As the flying entity entered his bathroom, a loud crashing noise came from its impact site.
