Disclaimer: Hey guys! This is a prequel to a story that has not yet been named and has not yet been written. All I will tell you is that Hanzo is a main character. I don't have much to say besides I only own my OC Azaiyah Hattori.

"Aw Hanzo, doesn't it feel nice to just relax once in a while?"

Hanzo looked at the ninja beside him and he once again asked himself how he was related to the woman. He looked at her sister with the same annoyed look he always gave her. Azaiyah had amber eyes and jet black hair pulled in to a long braid. She was wearing a purple and black body suit with her toes and fingers sticking out and a 'X' shaped mask over her eyes.

"We are at war Azaiyah. We have no time to relax." Hanzo responded.

Azaiyah opened her eyes and smiled. "Hanzo, has anything Nene said to you got through your skull? When this war is over, what will you do with yourself? We might be creatures of darkness. We might be ninja. But we have to do something to prove we're just not made for weapons and darkness."

"I will follow our Lord wherever he chooses. You may very well do the same little sister." Hanzo turned to face her.

Azaiyah raised an eyebrow. "Playing that again eh? I wonder how you're the leader of the Iga ninja."

"You are a leader of our ninja clan also." Hanzo reminded her.

"Yes through you. We're family Hanzo. You can't ignore it." Azaiyah said.

"Listen to her Hanzo and quit being so stubborn!"

Hanzo sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. Azaiyah merely smirked at him. She knew he cared about the ninja in front of them. Maybe just a little too much.

"Lady Nene, how'd you know we'd be here?" Azaiyah smiled.

Nene smiled. "Well all I did was ask Tadakatsu where you had gone! It wasn't very hard." She then turned to Hanzo. "And I have a few words for you Hanzo."

Azaiyah tried holding in her laughter as she watched her older brother get told by Nene. Sometimes she wondered out of her and Hanzo who was the better ninja. Azaiyah knew their skills were evenly matched. Tadakatsu had said so himself!

Hanzo merely shook his head before he said, "Why are you here?"

Nene merely frowned at him. "Can't a friend have a visit?"

Azaiyah smiled. "You're welcome anytime Lady Nene. Don't mind Hanzo. We both know he cares about both of us."

Hanzo glanced at his sister in annoyance. She really knew how to push his buttons. Azaiyah saw the look and grinned. "Come now Hanzo, don't say its not true. You've told me multiple times."

"That was before you became an annoyance." Hanzo rolled his eyes.

Azaiyah smirked. "And I live up to it."

Nene chuckled. "Well I should be getting back to Hideyoshi. Who knows what happens while I'm gone. I'll see you two later!" With that being said, in a burst of yellow Nene disappeared using her ninjutsu skills.

Azaiyah stood up and stretched. "Come on brother. We're almost to Iga and Lord Ieyasu needs out support. And besides we get a visit home and we may get to fight an old rival."

Even Hanzo couldn't hide the mischievous gleam in his eyes when she said that. "We'll shall see if we get to face Kotaro again dear sister."

Azaiyah grinned. "That's the spirit Hanzo!"

Hanzo merely grunted before he sped off towards the Tokugawa main camp. Azaiyah merely grinned before following him.

"I guess we'll just see where fate takes us Hanzo. Heaven knows we're prone to attracting the most unusual situations." Azaiyah said with a smile. "Oh well! I wasn't nicked the Panther of Iga for no reason!"

Hanzo rolled his eyes. As much as he loved his sister, she could be rather annoying. And a bit too cheerful.

And that is the end of The Panther of Iga. This is a prequel to a soon to be named story that will be posted soon. I hope you all enjoyed this! Shadow Katakura out!
