Prologue
Anko Mitarashi walked past the guards on the wall of Kohonagakure. The guards nodded to her and smiled, they had all heard of Anko, the Crazy-Kungfu-Kohona-Girl. That was how Anko was often referred to due to her skills in all known types of marshal arts. The purple-haired teen nodded back to the guards and started out on her walk.
It was halfway through the woods that Anko felt like she was being followed, Amateurs, can't even keep quiet while they stalk me. Anko spun around and went into a protective stance, "Come out, whoever's their!" There was a rustling in the bushes and Anko felt a sharp pain in her neck. She looked down and to her horror saw a needle protruding from her skin. Shit! Was her last thought before she passed into darkness.
"When do you think she'll wake up?"
"I don't know, she's been out for a while."
"She doesn't look very old."
"I know, they've been bringing in younger ones too now. I wouldn't be surprised if she's only 16."
Anko's head swam as she fought to regain consciousness. Blearily, she opened her eyes to stare at two girls. One with black hair and red eyes, and the other having short black hair and brown eyes. The girls saw she was awake and quieted.
"Where. . . Where am I?" Muttered a dazed Anko. She pulled herself up into a sitting position, ignoring the spurts of dizziness that wracked her head. Looking around, she saw several rows of plain beds filling the one-story room she was in. The red-eyed girl spoke,
"I'm Kurenei Yuuhi, and this is my friend Shizune. You're at the Shinobi Base." Seeing Anko's non-comprehending look she rushed to explain more.
"The Shinobi's are a group of independent fighters. They hire themselves out to different countries for money. This is their base, where they train new soldiers and old ones; their ruler, Orochimaru also stays here." Anko was starting to get exasperated, but she wanted a few more answers before she left this hole.
"Why the hell did they kidnap me? They don't want me to fight do they?"
Kurenei bit her lip and looked to Shizune for help. The brown-eyed woman took pity on her and answered,
"We are called kunoichi; the shinobi's kidnapped all of us so that we could bear their children." This definitely got the teen's attention.
"They need us to WHAT!!!" She shouted. The two woman made shhing noises and nodded. Anko's thoughts ran wild,
"No way. You don't really expect me to believe that do you?"
The woman's silence was all that was needed to confirm Anko's fear. She craned her neck to get a better look at the two women. Now she noticed that they both wore the same outfit; a white dress that looked like a very long t-shirt that was belted in the middle. Around both their necks was a plaque. Kurenei's read '9' on it and hung next to a small blue bead. Shizunes looked the same but said '6' and had two blue beads. Anko then look down and saw, to her horror, that she was dressed in the same clothes, and around her neck was a plaque with '13' on it. There were no other beads on her necklace. Looking back up again she noticed that both women's faces were hollow and slightly gaunt. They looked like they had gone through hell. What kind of bastards would do this? I bet there are tons of other kunoichis here to. So these freaks just get these women pregnant and then probably use the kids as new soldiers. That's sickening!! Horrified, Anko realized that she would have to escape this hell hole fast if she wanted to stay a virgin. Without thinking, she bolted out of the bed and raced through the door at the other end of the room. Ignoring Kurenei and Shizune's cries to come back, she sprinted through a hallway to another door. As she burst through this one, her eyes fell on an unfamiliar landscape.
There were rows and rows of building, no, not buildings, barracks. They covered the hills. Several other stadiums and building's met Anko's sight. A couple larger buildings could be headquarters for officers, or eating halls. To her right there was a line of what looked like different types of training grounds. She turned behind her and gasped at what met her eyes. The building she had come out of was a white blocky one, but that wasn't what stunned her. Behind that building were at least 20 more ones just like it. Anko could barely imagine how many kunoichis were trapped in them.
But Anko had to think about the problem ahead of her; escaping.
