Okay, this is the first chapter of the rewrite of Guardians. There is a significant change and I hope you guys do like it. Enjoy! I do not own freaking Naruto.

Ding. I groaned at the sound of the door opening downstairs as I tried to continue sleeping. I am a shop owner and live upstairs of where I work. My business consisted of making, selling, and trading weapons and other shinobi tools, medicines, or anything else related.

"Ai, wake up!" a shout rang as I was tackled by a brown blob.

"Stupid beast," I shouted picking up the brown cat up by the scruff. "What the hell was that for, Krill?!"

"Sorry, but we have customers downstairs," he purred.

"You don't need to tackle my damn face, fucker!" I growled as I put him down before rummaging through my drawers for something to wear.

Krill rolled his yellow eyes, "Whatever. Oh, and don't forget we're going to be traveling to Konoha next week; the Chuunin Exams are starting soon and it would be easy business."

"Yeah yeah I know; now get out so I can change," I said grabbing an outfit.

With a nod Krill walked back downstairs and sat by the register to make sure the two shinobi wouldn't steal anything. I began changing into my usual outfit. The top was a black leather tube-top that stopped above my belly button and black leather pants. I looked at myself in the full-body mirror in my room and sighed. My ruby red eyes stood out compared to my silver hair and pale complexion. I hated my appearance simply because it wasn't my natural hair or eye color; I used to be a brunette with amazing blue eyes. With a sigh I brushed my waist-length hair before heading downstairs to see Krill hissing at two shinobi.

"May I ask what the problem is?" I questioned walking over.

"We're ready to check out, but your cat wasn't doing anything about it. He then proceeded to insult us!" the man on the right explained.

I glared at Krill, "No catnip today."

Krill glared at the floor because of his misfortune.

I walked to the register giving them their total of 1,321 ryo before they hurried off with their purchased goods. "Was it necessary to give them a discount?" Krill asked.

"Since you managed to piss them off, yes," I replied, "And you still aren't getting any catnip."

He groaned before lying on the counter, "But I promise to behave, Ai-sama."

I glared at the adorable face he was giving me, "Kissing ass doesn't work on me."

"Still worth a try," he retorted.

I was about to reply but was silenced by the bell ringing on the door. My attention went to the door where I saw two figures in black cloaks with a red cloud design on them walking towards the counter. "Hello, how can I help you?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You can help them by shutting up," Krill grumbled.

A deep chuckle was heard from the taller one, obviously amused, "We're here for supplies."

I noticed a giant sword on the tall man's back and instantly recognized it. Because I make weapons and all I made it my business to memorize each and every sword, including the swords belonging to the legendary swordsmen. "I know that sword; it's Samehada. Books say that the owner is Kisame Hoshigaki," I stated ignoring the tense atmosphere, "He's a former Mist ninja."

"I think she knows too much, eh?" the tall man said removing his straw hat to reveal blue skin and yellow beaded eyes.

"Cool, never had I actually met a legendary swordsman," I stated with a grin, "Tell you what your purchases are on the house. It's a great honor to meet you."

Kisame looked at me in confusion, "You do know that I'm a rogue ninja, right?"

"Yeah, and I also know that you could kill me right here and now. In my opinion it would be awesome to die by a swordsman. Couldn't get any better than that."

"Sometimes I wonder why I associate myself with you," Krill grumbled.

I glared at him, "You better thank your god that I haven't decided to break your neck yet."

"How can he talk? He doesn't have any chakra so he isn't a nin cat," the shorter one said in a deep voice.

I shrugged, "The fucker just can."

Krill sat up proudly, "I'm a more…sophisticated cat so to speak."

"You mean you're an annoying little fuck who doesn't know when to shut up," I deadpanned.

"You also lack chakra," he stated again, "But your necklace is filled with it."

I put a hand over the unique crystal-like jewel hanging from said necklace, "I made it so it would absorb my chakra; I didn't want to be a shinobi when I was younger."

"Why wouldn't you want to be a shinobi?" Kisame asked.

My eyes narrowed, "I believe you are here for supplies, not to question me for every bit of information. However, I will answer your question; I had and still have no desire to serve any village or Kage. Every single one of them are hypocrites along with council member. They determine who rogues are because they kill in their beliefs rather than following the system, but order the deaths of countless people because they hold secret information. I don't understand what the difference is."

Kisame grinned, "Seems like you lean more towards the rogues' side."

"You have more sense than my cat, "I said with a small smile. "Now about the supplies; what do you need?"

"We need kunai, soldier pills, shuriken, and anything else of that nature; word on the street is you have the best supplies," the younger man said removing his hat; his onyx eyes bore into mine.

"Itachi Uchiha, eh?" I asked before shrugging. I walked over to a display case and removed a drawer from the bottom. The long drawer contained a unique set of kunai: crystal. "Now these kunai I made from crystal as you can see. It reflects the light allowing it to blend with the background and gives the illusion of other kunai surrounding it. Because of said illusion it remains unseen."

I set the drawer down and balanced the kunai on my pointer, "It has perfect balance, smooth edges, and a clean cut for deadly accuracy." I then held the blade of said kunai and extended the kunai towards Itachi, "It comes in handy against most enemies. Because I had to add chakra for the illusion, anyone with Sharingan or Byakugan can easily detect the kunai."

"You made them, eh? You got some skill," Kisame grinned as Itachi held the kunai up to the light. The way the light hit the kunai made it blend with background and the reflected light made it seem that there were kunai suspended in mid air.

Itachi nodded, "How many of these do you have?"

"I currently have only six in stock; it's been a popular sell among some people with families for decoration. Most of the shinobi believe the kunai are kind of bogus; even before they got a chance to see what it did," I said rubbing the back of my head.

"We'll take the six along with regular kunai. When will you have more?" Itachi asked.

"I should have more by then end of next month if you're wanting more than just eight. It takes a while to make the kunai and I'll be heading out of town for more possible business in a week," I explained handing him the six crystal kunai.

Soon they had all the supplies from me; their purchases on the house as promised. The pair began walking out the door before I remembered something, "Do you guys need any explosive clay?"

Kisame looked at me with a raised eyebrow, "No, we don't."

I shrugged, "Okay, just wondering; I got a huge shipment in that I didn't order and it hasn't sold. Thanks anyways. Come again anytime."

With a nod the two rogues put their hats on and walked out into the street. Today was going to be a weird day.

I hope you guys did enjoy the chapter. I think I like it more than the other, but please let me know what you think! On a completely random note, I got these amazing blue fluffy slippers that make me feel like the freaking cookie monster! So awesome!
