Me: Okay this story you are about to read is something that has been in my mind for a while. So here we go!!!
Disclaimer: Do not own!!! But do own the Village Hidden in the Night, Ella, Miko and the demon called the Shadow Dragon.
A light brown haired girl wearing all black stood on a cliff looking down on the destruction that once had been her home for twelve years. Tears slid down her face. She could not believe the village was destroyed. Her grief was short-lived because she soon sensed a few unknown sources of chakra coming closer. She quickly spun around when the ninjas she sensed came through the bushes. She was greeted by the site of five ninjas who were looking her over. When one of them noticed the tattoo on her arm, his eyes widened.
"It's her," he quickly said to his companions and pointed to the tattoo. The others quickly looked where he pointed and spread out around her when they saw the tattoo.
"Who are you and what do you want?" the girl asked as she pulled out her kunias in case this turned into a fight. The five ninjas pulled their own weapons as they moved closer to the girl. She backed up a step each time they took one. Soon her foot almost slipped. She was at the edge of the cliff.
"Just come with us nice and easy. And we won't hurt you," said another of the ninjas, "Our leader wants a word with you."
"Why would he want a word with me?" the girl asked as she thought of a way to get out of this without a fight.
"Our leader, Orochimaru, has taken an interest in you," said the ninja, "Now are you going to come quietly or not."
"Tell your bastard of a leader to go stick a kantana up his ass," said the girl and with that she jumped off the cliff. The ninjas ran over to the edge, but the girl had disappeared.
"Damn it. Tell Kabuto what happened. We need to find her," said the ninja. They quickly ran off to inform Kabuto of what had occurred.
"Damn, do they never give up," said the girl as she leaped branch to branch. She had already been attacked multiple times by ninjas wearing the same headbands as the ones at the village. She had got a few cuts and bruises, but had gotten away with nothing serious. She jumped down when she reached a clearing and turned to face her pursuers. Four ninjas jumped into the clearing and circled her, but they didn't attack. It was like they were waiting for something or someone. She didn't have long to ponder this as a silver haired ninja with glasses jumped down. The others moved so he could pass.
"You have given us quite a chase, but now there is nowhere to go. So are you going to surrender or not," asked the ninja. The girl's answer to his question was to spit at his feet.
"Fine if that is how you want it," said the ninja as he attacked her. She was able to dodge most of his attacks, but the few wounds she received soon started to slow her down. He threw a barrage of sebon at her. She jumped to dodge but was caught in the left shoulder and leg.
--somewhere else in the forest--
Team Seven was coming back from their mission when Kakashi stopped. Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke stopped and turned back to Kakashi.
"What is it Kakashi-sensei?" asked Sakura. Naruto looked annoyed that they had stopped, and Sasuke looked like he really could care less.
"I sense a faint charka source," said Kakashi as he smelled the air as a breeze blew from the direction of the charka source, "I smell blood also. We need to check it out." His students nodded their heads in agreement. They all quickly took to the trees. A few minutes later the sound of a fight could be heard. The group moved so they could see who was in the clearing but not be seen. In the clearing, a girl was thrown back into a tree. She had a cut across her right shoulder, a kunai in her right leg, and sebons stabbed into her in multiple places. She tried to stand up but ended up leaning against the tree. There were four other ninjas that seemed to be keeping her from running off. The group couldn't see who was attacking the girl, but they could tell what village the four nin were from because of the headbands which had the symbol of the Sound. Kakashi could feel Naruto tense next to him, but Sakura quickly put a restraining hand on Naruto's shoulder. Naruto looked at Sakura and knew what she was trying to tell him. They had to wait for Kakashi's signal. He turned back to the clearing. Kakashi watched his students with quiet approval, but his attention was quickly changed when he heard the girl in the clearing scream in pain. The girl fell to the ground coughing up blood as the wound that she had just received to her side bleed considerable.
"Well now Orochimaru isn't going to be happy about you being injured, but what is important is that we capture you. So are you through fighting?" asked the silver haired ninja as he came into view of the group. Kakashi heard Sakura gasp in shock and felt both Naruto and Sasuke tense at seeing Kabuto (he's the silver haired ninja attacking the girl.). Kakashi watched as the girl picked her self up and glared at Kabuto. Kabuto tsked at her and threw one of his sebon that contained a poison that would knock the girl out. When Kakashi saw the sebon he signaled the team to attack. The sebon that was flying at the girl was knocked out of the air by a kunai. Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke appeared in front of the girl between her and the enemy ninja.
"This is not your fight," said Kabuto through clenched teeth. The other enemy nin took their places behind Kabuto when the Leaf nin appeared.
"Well, it is now because this is our territory. Or have you forgotten that, Kabuto?" said Kakashi. His team quickly took their positions behind their teacher.
"Fine then," said Kabuto as he turned towards his fellow nin, "Kill them." With that the battle between the five Sound nin against the four Leaf nin began. Soon Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura took out three of the nin. Kabuto jumped away from Kakashi and watched as his last subordinate was killed. He quickly made the signs for the teleport justu as Kakashi threw a kunai at him. The smoke quickly cleared and Team Seven turned to look at the girl. She stared at them and then dashed off into the forest.
"If Orochimaru is after her, we need to find out why. Plus she is badly injured. We need to find her and soon," said Kakashi. The three other Leaf nin looked at him and nodded. Then they all took off to find the girl.
--a few minutes later--
Sasuke found the girl, but when he tried to stop her, she attacked him and then ran off. She soon stumbled and fell down into another clearing. She got up as Sasuke jumped down. When he took a step forward, she took one backwards. The girl's back soon hit a tree and Sasuke knew he had her cornered. He thought it was funny that the girl even injured was glaring at him. She moved to attack him, but fell forward unconscious because of blood loss. Sasuke quickly caught her before she hit the ground. He quickly set off the charka signal Kakashi told them to use when they found the girl. The others soon found him. Sakura quickly came over, and Sasuke laid the girl down. Sakura looked her over and healed the wounds that were the most serious. She then turned to Kakashi.
"She's hurt badly. I healed what wounds were most serious, but we need to get her to the hospital," said Sakura. Sasuke looked down at the girl. He couldn't see what was so important about her that Orochimaru would want her so bad. Kakashi walked over and picked her up.
"Okay, Sakura go tell Tsunade what happened and we are coming in with an injured nin," said Kakashi. Sakura ran off to tell her sensei. Sasuke and Naruto took places next to Kakashi to protect the girl and their sensei if they were attacked. The three made it back to the village without any incidents. When they walked through the gate, Sakura was there and told Kakashi that Tsunade was at the hospital waiting for the girl. Kakashi got to the hospital and had the girl quickly taken from him by one of the medic-nins. His team quickly caught up to him, and they went to the waiting room for Tsunade. Tsunade came out of the room and waved them to her. They walked into the room with her. Tsunade closed the door and looked at them. The girl was lying on the hospital bed. Now that they could see her more clearly because the girl had had the blood washed off. Her hair was a light brown color, and her skin was tanned.
"Okay, what happened?" asked Tsunade. Kakashi quickly told her of finding the girl fighting with the Sound ninjas and Kabuto. Tsunade took the information in and had a thoughtful expression.
"So, Orochimaru wants this girl for some reason. Well there is nothing we can do to find out about it until she wakes up," said Tsunade, "Okay Kakashi, I want you and your team to keep watch on her." Kakashi nodded his head and told his team to go home and to come back later.
