Chapter 1: Getting Kicked Out
Kirin Makoto was sitting with Gaara outside. Both were smiling and talking about the future, and how all of those kids were scared for no reason. She giggled at something her best friend said, the Kazekage stared on in disgust. How was he supposed to turn Gaara into the weapon Sunagakure needed if he was too busy getting close with this girl. This girl whose family members were all dead anyways. He glanced around the room before making a decision. No one would miss this little girl anyway. He walked out and told Gaara dinner was ready and as Kirin got ready to walk away he grabbed her arm lightly. "Kirin, I need to talk to you for a moment, alright?" She bowed politely and nodded.
She followed the Kazekage and frowned when she noticed they were by the gate. "Lord Kazekage?" She asked quietly. He picked her up and walked out of the village covering her eyes as they went. As soon as he couldn't see the gate he dropped her on her butt and poofed away.
Kirin looked around and felt tears come to her eyes. She felt unwanted and alone.
It had been a few hours since the Kazekage left her behind. She heard voices as two figures approached. When they were close enough, she noticed the taller one had blue skin and resembled a shark. He had something that kind of looked like a sword on his back. The shorter one had long black hair, black eyes, a leaf headband with a scratch through it, and lines under his eyes. They both wore the same kind of robe, it had red clouds on a black background.
"Well, well, well what do we have here?" The tall one asked in a raspy voice. Kirin looked up at him, and shocked him by smiling.
"You're blue," She pointed out with a smile. "Blue is one of my favorite colors," She exclaimed as he looked shocked. His companion was also shocked, but hid it well.
"What are you doing out here all alone?" The shark asked. She looked down at her shoes, a sad look crossing her features.
"I must have done something bad," She whispered. "Because he brought me out here and then left," She glanced back up. The two looked at her puzzled. "I mean he is the Kazekage."
"The kazekage brought you out here?" The shorter one finally spoke up. He had a calm, cool voice. Kirin nodded once. "Are your parents around somewhere?" He asked feeling the supposedly cold heart in his chest ache. She shook her head looking at her shoes.
"A snake man named Orochimaru killed them and my older brother Ryo," She looked up with heartache and pain in her eyes. "A year ago," The two men nodded.
"And what is your name, little girl?" The blue one asked. She glanced up and let out a soft sigh.
"Kirin Makoto. What about you two?" She asked. They were both shocked by the outgoingness she showed.
"My name is Itachi and this is Kisame," The shorter one explained gesturing to himself and then the blue one. Kirin nodded with a smile. "Shouldn't you be scared. I'm a murderer and he kills people as well," Itachi stated coolly. He was beyond confused about the little girl's smile.
"I don't know how to explain it, but I think you had a reason for it," She stated softly taking a step closer to the duo. "You don't seem as evil as you're trying to look," She added at the end.
"What should we do Itachi? If we leave her out here, she will die," Kisame stated quietly. He was only stating the cold, hard truth. No ninja would hold back from killing a seven year old. He also had taken a liking to the fact that she had not screamed in fear when she saw his face. Itachi frowned in thought before glancing down at the girl in front of them.
Kirin was looking up at both of them with bright eyes and Itachi sighed again. He wasn't sure the leader would appreciate him bringing a little girl back to the base. But he also didn't want to leave her out here in the harsh environment alone. He glanced down at her and took in her appearance. She was in black Capri pants, and a purple t-shirt. She had on black ninja sandals and a small bag near her. She had brown hair that went to about the middle of her back and a pair of bright blue eyes. "Would you like to come with us?" Her eyes widened, and he took note of the delight behind them.
"Really?" Itachi nodded in response and she let out a small squeal. She threw her arms around his legs and hugs him tight, reminding him of Sasuke slightly. He let out a sigh as she looked up at him. "Thank you Itachi, I promise you won't regret this," She smiled happily.
Kisame smirked as Kirin took Itachi's hand. "This is definitely the start of something. Don't know what yet, but I hope the leader says we can keep her," He grinned showing off his pointy teeth, which Kirin just giggled at.
Alright so this idea came to me while I was talking with my nephew. I don't own anything other than the plot and the other characters. Thank you for reading and please tell me what you think. I'm hoping to add more soon =)
