Haruka Katana

Far-offDistance

The story about three friends. They are all from different ninja villages, but on a mission they meet. They find out that they all have the same mission and they join forces. What would happen if three little AMBU meets Akatsuki…?

The alarm clock rang. A girl underneath the blankets muttered some curses as she pulled the covers over her head more. 'Ring, ring ,ring, rin- CRASH' the alarm clock connected with the wall and broke to hundreds of pieces. The young girl who wasn't older than 17, crawled out of the bed. She went to the bathroom and took a shower. She combed her long brown hair and went to her closet to get dressed. She pulled on a black tank top and a fishnet shirt. She put on a gray short and on top a black skirt. She went over to her bedside table and grabbed her Konoha forehead protector, and tied it around her waist. She grabbed her AMBU vest and pulled it on, along with her gloves. She stood in front of the mirror, her AMBU mask in her hand.

"Let's get to it." She said as she put the wolf mask on. She grabbed her weapons bag and her katana and headed out of her apartment.

Yes, she was an AMBU from the hidden villages of the leaf, Konoha. She was last of her clan, her parents died in the last war with Orochimaru. She had incredible healing powers as kekkei genkai. But she cursed the village. Because of her powers they used her, and hated her. She had no friends. She hated this village with all her heart. But she needed money, so she did as told. Yes, she was Mieko Asukai.

Mieko ran out of the gates of Konoha and headed for Bird Country. Her mission was to kill the Feud Lord there. Why, she had no idea. She did as told and got paid for it. The question "why" was lost in the ninja world. You had to get answers for your self. She was jumping from tree to tree for hours now. Mieko was already out of the fire county. She was in rain territory. On enemy territory. Soon she got to a clearing. Mieko landed there as a kitten. Her senses were telling her that something was wrong. She had the feeling that someone was following her for a while. Her senses never betrayed her. Mieko hid her chakra and her hand was on the handle of her katana. She waited.

"You can come out now. I know your there." She said. Shurikens flew out of the bushes near by. Mieko dodged it with some kunai. The cling of metal was heard as the weapons connected. An AMBU nin came out of the bushes. She wore a cat mask. Mieko withdrew the katana from its place. It made a soft hissing sound as she pulled it out. The other ninja did the same. They stood there and suddenly disappeared in a blur. The crash of metal was heard, shurikens and kunais flew, blood splat. They jumped away from each other panting heavily. They were both bleeding with several cuts and other injuries. Mieko quickly recovered thanks to her blood limit but she was sort on chakra and so was her opponent.

"Now tell…me …what's …your mission, and where…are you…from." She got it out panting. They only fought with taijutsu. Chakra was only used to quicken movements. A ninjutsu would eat up all her chakra, so would a genjutsu, and she still had to get to the bird country in safety. It would be stupid to use up all her chakra.

"The village…is Iwakakure" she said pointing at her forehead protector tied around her neck "…mission is to kill…the bird county's feud lord." She said breathing heavily.

"Mine too" Mieko said, as she got to her feet. "Why would she tell me her mission?"

"Then we should work together." She said getting to her feet as well. "By the way the name is Kurokawa Yumi." She said holding out her hand, while she lifted her mask up. She had blue eyes and short brown hair, with a little pink in it. Mieko hesitated but something told her she can trust the girl, so she lifted her mask as well.

"Mieko Asukai" she said smiling as they shook hands.

"Nice to meet you Mieko-chan." She said

"You know it's not every day I make friends. I'm pretty hated back in Konoha." She said sitting down to rest. Yumi joined her.

"Tell me about it. I know how you feel. I'm pretty same too. They are only using me, but isn't that how a ninja should be, hmmm?" she asked, looking up at the sky.

"Yeah, that's how it should be…" Mieko said.

"You know, you're weird. How come you healed so fast?" Yumi asked.

"Oh, this. It's my blood limit. My body heals on it's on. Cool isn't it?" she asked grinning.

"Yeah, but your not the only one. I'm kind of special myself." She said looking at Mieko smiling.

"How so?" Mieko asked furiously.

"Demon jutsu. It takes over me in fight if my life is in danger, or if I release it." Yumi answered. "Cool isn't it? But I had trouble in the past because of it. I almost got killed once." She said as she laughed bitterly at the memory.

"Your telling me…you want to see what happened to me?" Mieko asked

"See? How?" Yumi asked back.

"My family had a jutsu than could see into other people's minds and show them memories or see into the said persons memories." Mieko explained.

"Cool, and Yeah I wanna see what happened to you and than I'll show you mine!" she squeaked in excitement.

"Ok, but it won't be happy…" Mieko did the hand signs, and they held each other hands and drifted into the other's memories.

Mieko's memories

A small girl ran down the street .She was yelling for help. It was wartime. Her parents already died in front of her. Kunais flew past her, and one seriously cut through her side. The girl knew that stomach wounds were very dangerous. She fell on her face in the dirt. The enemy left her there to bleed to death. She was clutching her side as blood rushed out. She was terrified. But the blood soon stopped coming out. She was surprised. That was when she learned her abilities.

Flash

The girl was standing in front of some other kids. Her back was facing them. Kunais wizzled and shurikens flew. They all hit that girl, but she never died. She was protecting those kids but after the war ended, they no longer needed her protection. No, they called her names, told her to stay away.

"Go away, weirdo. Leave us alone!"

"Get out of here, monster!"

Yumi's memories

The girl in the corner of the room was crying. Her parents locked her up, afraid of her 'might be' abilities. The door shut open and reviled the men of the village with weapons. They wanted to get rid of her. Was her childhood not horrible enough? No. The girl stood and tried to ran, but stopped by strong hands. She screamed and struggled as they beat her, but nothing. She was gonna die. One great scream shock the room. When she opened her eyes they were no longer blue, but blank black. Looking around she noticed no one was alive…

After what happened no one came close to her anymore…

"Stay away monster!"

"I hope you die!"

"Don't come any near!"

Mieko's hand slipped out of Yumi's. They learned each others past horrible past.

"I'm sorry." they said in unison. They looked at each other and laughed.

"I think we can through the past in garbage than, ne?" Yumi asked

"Sure can!" Mieko agreed. "So how do you plan on killing the feud lord?"

"We'll get past the guards and kill him, questions?" Yumi asked.

"Yeah, you're crazy." Mieko replied. "Ok let's get moving." She said getting up. Yumi did the same and they jumped up to the trees and took off.

They reached the Bird country border. It was already night. They jumped down from the trees and set up a camp. Mieko got some wood, started a fire and they made dinner.

"I'll take the first watch." Mieko said

"Ok, wake me up then. Good night Mieko-chan." She said as she went in the tent.

"Goodnight Yumi-chan." She said and her eyes wandered up the starry sky.

After a few hours, a presens brought Mieko to her senses. She reached for her katana and pulled it out. Clank. A lonely AMBU stood in front of her. She had fox mask, and she had long curly red hair. Mieko gave a push to her katana and the girl was caught of guard. She started to fell back. Mieko grabbed her hand and twisted it behind the red hairs back, as they fell. A thump and a cry was heard as thy landed on the ground. Yumi shot out of her tent, kunai in her hand.

"What the hell!" she yelled. She let the kunai down when she saw Mieko on top of an AMBU, holding it's hand down and sitting on top of the poor thing.

"Don't worry Yumi–chan I got everything under control." She said grinning like mad.

"Would you please get off of me" the red hair said angry

"Sorry, but I don't trust you." Mieko said "What's your name and your purpose?" she asked

"My name is Kita Sasaki and my purpose is none of your businesses!" she shouted. Yumi went over to her and pulled of her mask. It reviled a very angry kunoichi. Her green eyes flashed dangerously.

"She's from Suna" Yumi said as she saw the forehead protector tied around the girl's forehead.

"I'm really annoyed so tell me your propose if you do not wish to die!" Mieko yelled in frustration.

"Fine, I'm here to kill the feud lord, happy." She answered. Mieko and Yumi smiled.

"Great, than we're not enemies. Cause that's our job as well" Yumi said. Mieko got off of Kita and helped her up.

"I have no idea why I trust you guys but I trust you." Kita answered and gave them a smile.

They all got some rest and Yumi got to take the watch next. In the morning they packed and headed for the feud lord's compound. They reached the place where they headed for. On the way there they got to know a little about Kita as well. She was smart and short tempered. Also she was home at weapons and her family had known mind transfer jutus as well. Now they all stood in front of the feud lords compound.

"How do we get in?" Mieko asked

"We'll kill the guards, that's how." Yumi answered.

"Idiots, we'll draw attention on us in no time." Kita said

"Then how?" Yumi asked. Kita rolled her eyes at the clumsiness of the other two.

"Use henge, bakas."she said

"Great idea Kita" they aid and transformed into guards similar to the ones who stood next to the doors. This way it was easy to get in. Kita led them to the room of the feud lord. The three of them slipped inside.

"Who is it? I told you not to come in-" the feud lord shut as Mieko appeared behind him with a kunai at the neck. They all released henge no jutsu and stood there in their usual form.

"You wont get far was the last the feud lord said as Mieko sliced his troth.

"We have to get out of her immediately! They'll be at our tail in no time!" Yumi yelled as they ran out of the room and down the hallway. They took the corner and were greeted by the enemy. Yumi was right they already knew. Drawing out their weapons, the bloody fight began. It took hours of running and fighting, by they got away safety. Now they were in the country of the rain. They stopped at a little clearing to rest. They were tired almost out of chakra, injured, dirty, dripping from blood. They took a little rest, and talked over the success of the mission. Little did they know that they were watched.

After a while they stood ready to go. An explosion shook the ground. The three kunoichi stood after, but was thrown back by the force of it. Mieko sat up and cough up blood. She wiped it away from the corner of her mouth. Her vision was blurry. She made out four guys with black cloak and what were those red clouds? Wait a minute red cloud? Hold on, rain territory Akatsuki! Mieko's mind gave her alert. Looking to her side she saw Kita and Yumi were at their feet, so she too, stood up.

"They are Akatsuki. Careful okay." Mieko said. Looking up the first man she saw was blue. Geez Hoshigaki Kisame. That means, his partner Itachi Uchiha is here as well. This fight is already theirs. They were low on chakra, injured and their opponents were Akatsuki. There is no hope. But they won't give their life that easily. Mieko saw Kita and Yumi ran toward the enemy. So she too draw her katana. Kisame came at her and Mieko was hit hard in the back. She was trying her best to avoid getting hit, but he was much more faster. Mieko was soon thrown to the side. Explosions rang the ground. She saw Yumi get couth in one of then. Mieko looked in horror as her friend spat blood and got burned. Yumi fell on the ground hard and was knocked out. Mieko tried to get to her, which only got her a good kick in the stomach. As she fell on the ground she saw Kita charge at the blond artist. He disappeared and appeared behind her. With a good smack to the neck Kita fell unconscious to the ground. No. No! This isn't happening. She got up and tried to get to her friends. The next she knew was that strong arms snaked around her waist and held her back. Mieko screamed, kicked and tried to get to Kita and Yumi to heal them. It was no use, he was stronger.

"I would stop struggling if I were you." Said a deep voice which was definitely not Kisame's. Mieko got scared as she suspected the owner of the voice. She felt herself being turned around and she immediately shut her eyes.

"Smart, demo…" she was punched hard in the stomach. She flew back and her back connected with a tree trunk. Mieko spat blood. Her vision was blurry, but she made out the fallen body of her friends. She crawled over to Yumi and started healing her burns. She heard footsteps and a pair of shoes stepped into her vision. She started to look up to see the face of the man who stepped in front of her. Big mistake. Her green eyes met crimson.

"Shit!" was the last thing she said as she fell into the darkness.
