A shocking wake up.
Kasumi a missing shinobi and former member of the Mugen Tenshin shinobi clan. She was Originally second-in-line for the title of clan master within the Mugen Tenshin, but she became a missing shinobi, after she ran away from home in order to avenge her older brother, Hayate.
Why, and what happend to her brother you may ask? Well Kasumi's life has been anything but stable. She is the daughter and second child of of the Mugen Tenshin's head family, making her second-in-line to the title of clan leader, after her older brother Hayate.
When Kasumi was a child, she and her sister Ayane who both were unaware that they were related at the time, played together as best friends, although the clan saw Ayane as a "cursed child" and didn't want Kasumi to be around her. From childhood, Kasumi has lived a privileged life full of expensive clothes, servants and the respect of the rest of the Mugen Tenshin clan. According to their mother, Ayame, Kasumi and Ayane used to have fun catching fish for the family. Her relationship with Hayate was also ideal, with the two playing games and training together happily.
However, that all changed once Ayane learned of her true heritage, and the children now knew that they were siblings, Kasumi's friendship with Ayane ended due to Ayane's jealous anger over her mistreatment by the clan, centering her animosity on the "princess" Kasumi.
When Kasumi was seventeen, her uncle, the rogue ninja Raidou, returned to the village to obtain a ninpo spell used by the clan's leaders. Defeating even the prodigious Ayane, Raidou eventually manages to mimic the technique from Hayate, and rendered the boy both comatose and paraplegic before escaping. As Kasumi was not present during the attack and nobody told her what had happened, she was left clueless as to what happened until much later.
Due to Hayate's dire state and the unlikelihood of his recovery, Kasumi was choosen to become the clan's eighteenth master.
But Kasumi found out that her evil uncel was the one who almost killed her brother. With the truth finally out, Kasumi decided to take possibly suicidal action and left the village without permission in order to find Raidou and take revenge on him for Hayate, although this meant she would become a nukenin and the clan will kill her if she ever tries to return home.
After taking her revenge on her evil uncle, Kasumi's life was never the same. She spent most of it being on the run from her old clan and took part of seven deadly battles. The toughest one was against Alpha-152 a powerful clone of Kasumi with the ability to use multiple different fighting styles. Following a long battle against Alpha-152, the clone and the lab was destroyed...
But Kasumi never made it out. The last thing she could remeber was that she was hit by a large bright light and then... darkness.
And tha brings us to whre we are now. When Kasumi woke up she felt very dizzy. Her vision was blurry, her body was numb and it felt like someone was dragging her. She semi panicked a little believing she had been captured. Her breath got faster as the air flet real cold, she then felt a hand on her shoulder that scared her a little until she heard a gentle voice speak.
"It's ok, we are not gonna hurt you" Kasumi's vision was still blurry but she could have sworn she saw a child "Everything is going to be ok. Just rest...".
The sound of the gentle and innocent voice managed to calm Kasumi down and she closed her eyes, allowing herself to fall in to a peaceful slumber.
When Kasumi woke up again things were a little more clear. She still felt a little dizzy, but no as bad as before and she no longer felt cold. She slowly sat up, hissing at the pain in her body. It felt like she had been hit by a bear. She looked down to see her arms and belly had bandaids wrapped them. Who ever brought her here saved her life.
She looked around to see she was in a small hut. Nothing fancy, just made out of snow and ice with some animal skins decorating it. She heard the voice from before "You are awake!".
Kasumi looked and saw a young girl. She had dark skin, Blue eyes and Dark brown hair. She also had one of the most innocent smiles Kasumi had ever seen. The girl walked up to her and knelt down "How are you feeling?".
"Weak, but not as bad as I would have been had you not brought me here" Kasumi answered.
The girl smiled "Me and my brother found you a bit away from our village. You were hurt real bad so we brought you back so you could get some medical attention. My name is Katara by the way, what's your name?"
"Kasumi... where am I?" Kasumi asked.
"You are in the Southern Water Tribe" Katara answered.
Kasumi got wide eyes "I am in the South Pole? How did I get here?".
"You tell me. Me and my brother found you after we spoted a shining object falling from the sky. You were in the center of the place it landed" Katara answered "We belived it was a sign from the spirits or maybe a new bender!".
"Spirits? Bender? I am sorry but I do not understand what you are talking about" Kasumi said.
Katara thought about it for a moment "You really are not from around here are you?" When Kasumi shook her head Katara sighed "I will try to explain. Make yourself comfortable"
Kasumi did what she was told and Katara began to explain.
"Water... Earth... Fire... Air...Those are the 4 bending elements" Katara listed "Bending is the ability to manipulate an element and is significant to many aspects of life in the World. Though not everyone can do it, it's something you are born with"
Kasumi listened closely.
"My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked" Katara continued.
"They started a war?" Kasumi asked.
Katara nodded "Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished".
"Anyone know what happend?" Kasumi asked.
Katara shook her head "A hundred years have passed and the Fire Nation is nearing victory in the war. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation, leaving me and my brother to look after our tribe".
Kasumi looked down. Just where has she ended up?
"Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads and that the cycle is broken, but I haven't lost hope. I still believe that somehow the Avatar will return to save the world" Katara finished up.
Kasumi put a hand on her head "This is so much to take in! This is not the world I remember!".
"Where are you from?" Katara asked.
"You are gonna think I'm crazy" Kasumi said.
Katara giggled a little "Trust me, when you grow up with my brother. You can tell who is crazy and who is not".
Kasumi sighed "It's a long story".
Katara only smiled "It's ok. You can tell me and the rest of the village later. Just rest up for now. Your wounds have not healed yet".
Kasumi could not help but to smile back "Thank you Katara".
And with that, Katara walked out and Kasumi laid back down to think of eveyrthing she just heard. Katara was not lying, Kasumi could see it in her eyes, so just what happend when she got hit by that light? Did it really send her to another world?
Kasumi sighed, she would need to figure that out some other time. At least she was saved by one she can trust. With that thought in mind, Kasumi fell asleep once again.
.
Well that was the first chapter. Don't worry, the following once will be longer, this was just meant to show you the character you are gonna be following through the story. After leaving the voting poll up for a while, I decided to settle with Kasumi as there are not Avatar X Dead or alive stories out there and I've been wanting to wirte a Dead Or Alive Story for a while now.
Also Kasumi's abilities and feats will be limited solely to the Dead Or Alive series. So her appearances in Ninja Gaiden will not count.

Tell me what you think.
