Okay, yes this is a new story and its been a while since I updated the others, but I actually had an idea and a request for this one. So deal with it. Kasai is owned by neonkitteh, not me. If you would like to see what she looks like, neonkitteh has a DA account under the name Nikkitheseedrian. Search Kasai in her gallery and you'll find the picture. Thanks for reading and staying with me guys!

Okay, so I'm just sitting there minding my own business when these dudes come up and knock me out and I wake up in some dark room on a stone floor. Wait, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning.

I'm a traveler. My name is Kasai. You don't need to know my last name right now. I was traveling from the sand village to the leaf, and right as I walk in this blonde kid sees me and runs over.

"WELCOME TO KONOHA!" he basically screamed in my face. I slapped him and backed away quickly.

"Dude, personal space."

He looked at me somewhat apologetically. "Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

I laughed shortly. "You didn't scare me," I informed him shortly. "You're just overly loud. It hurt my ears."

Blondie looked almost hurt here. Pathetic. I disregarded the look and kept walking, leaving the kid at the village gates. He was wearing a ninja headband, the idiot can take care of himself. I made my merry way to an inn and rented a room, ordered room service, cleaned up, and crashed early so I could hit the streets tomorrow.

-In the morning-

The sun hitting my face woke me in the morning. I combed quickly through my wavy bluish-green hair and redressed in my capree skinny jeans and dark blue elbow length shirt. Blue was my favorite color and I distributed it obviously. Blue eyes, bluish hair, blue jeans, blue shirt, all that stuff. My bright green sandals were the only thing I wore that aren't blue, and that's only because the stores don't make shoes with compartments for knives in blue. I had four knives hidden in my shoes, two in my jean pockets, two in my belt, one in each sleeve, and one hidden beneath my hair, which typically covers about half my face. Knives are my primary weapon, if you couldn't tell.

I left nothing in the hotel room and therefore felt no need to lock it before leaving. The streets were fairly empty as it was still early in the morning. I soon found a resturaunt that was open and ate a speedy breakfast before going to wander the streets and map out the village.

After a half hour or so, I found myself on the outskirts of the village. My eyes swept the trees and buildings in my vacinity, and I was about to continue on my way when I spotted a dog and a boy flying through the treetops. A grin found its way onto my face and I went to investigate.

Upon reaching the forest, I found the boy and his dog playing in a small clearing, their laughter filling the air. The boy's short brown hair was filled with grass and leaves from rolling on the ground, his grin displaying sharpened canines. The dog's fur was a creamy white and he had floppy ears lined in a soft brown. The boy had a ninja headband wrapped around his forehead.

I leapt nearly silently down onto the ground. My prescence was given away by a leaf crumbling beneath my foot. I grinned easily when the boy looked over at me.

"Who are you?" he asked curiously.

"Kasai," I responded. "You?"

"Kiba. Are you new to the village?"

"Maybe," I teased. "Do you know everyone here to recognize a stranger so easily?"

"Yeah," he responded obliviously. "When I was a genin my team had to do chores for just about everyone in the village."

"Fun. Why would you come and do chores for me? We're the same age. I'm perfectly able to take care of my own home."

"Some people are lazy," he responded carelessly, "so they pay us to do their work for them."

I laughed. "Dude, yeah I'm new here. You said when you were a genin. What rank are you now?"

"Chunin," he told me, standing up and brushing himself off before combing all the debris out of his hair. "Are you a ninja?"

"Nah. I'm a traveler."

"Then why do you have so many weapons on you?"

My eyes widened and I took a small step back. "How did you know I had weapons with me?"

"I can smell them. They're freshly polished so they put off a strong scent."

I relaxed at his words. "Oh. You run into a lot of bandits and such on the road. Not that I have anything worth stealing, but you never know." My words weren't completely true, but no one needed to know that.

Kiba tilted his head slightly and his dog stood up and moved around him protectively. "Hey, what's up with you Akamaru?" he asked, rubbing the dog's head. Akamaru growled at me in an undertone before barking once.

"What do you mean she's lying?"

I sent the dog a look before disappearing back into the trees, fingering the knife under my hair. I heard them pursuing me and hid under a lowhanging branch that created a small shelter. Unfortunately, I forgot about the pair's sense of smell. As they made their way closer, I hid one of my knives in my black fingerless gloves.

The branch I was hiding beneath was pushed out of the way and before I could pull my weapon, I found myself pinned to the tree. I glared at the boy I now knew as Kiba when he pulled out the knife hidden underneath my hair.

"We don't need you trying to use this on us when we don't want to fight." He proceeded to disarm me. I hid a smirk when he didn't find the knives in my shoes.

"Why did you run away?" he questioned.

"Would I have ended up in a much different situation if I hadn't?" I retorted. "The only thing that would have ended up different is this would have been in that little clearing instead of here. I was hoping to avoid unneccessary situations."

"Why were you lying earlier?"

"Do I not have a right to my personal secrets?"

"What were you lying about?" he pressed, searching my face for answers.

"None of your business." I attempted an airy response, but it ended up kind of muttered.

At this point, Kiba's dog had hidden all of the knives he had taken away from me, so he let go of my shoulders and backed away slightly.

"If you won't answer to me, we'll have to go talk to the Hokage. You're being suspicious and we're under threat from other villages at the moment. Are you gonna come with me or do I have to drag you?"

I smirked. "Good luck with that," I muttered. "Your Hokage won't get any answer from me you haven't gotten."

Kiba sighed before picking me up and starting back towards the village. I went completely limp just to make it harder on him. We soon reached a tall building and Kiba dropped me on the ground.

"Walk," he told me, guesturing at a staircase. "I don't want to have to get any other ninja down here."

I stood and strode up the staircase in front of him. After a few flights of stairs, Kiba pointed at a door and I opened it before going down the hallway it led into. We stopped at a door and he knocked twice in quick succession.

"Come in."

I entered the room first, seeing a blonde woman and two masked ninja dressed in black in the room. The blonde woman was sitting at a huge desk with a green cover jacket with the kanji "gamble" on it hanging on the back of her chair.

Kiba bowed slightly before saying, "Lady Tsunade, this girl found me in the forest and when Akamaru told me she was lying about the questions I asked her, she ran away. She evaded my interoggation so I brought her to you."

"Thank you Kiba. You are dismissed."

Kiba nodded and left the room. Tsunade made a small motion with her hand and the two ninja in black disappeared.

"What is your name?" the lady I assume is the Hokage asked.

"Kasai."

"Full name."

I smiled sweetly. "You don't need to know that."

She smiled right back at me. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Your choice."

My smile transformed into a smirk. "Try me and see what happens."
