Author's Note - Hi guys! Ok so this fic is going to be full of twists and turns and randomness. But that's just me. Anyways, I don't own Naruto (although I wish I did) but Kisa is mine.

I've found a picture that is as close to Kisa as I can get, just incase my description leaves you in any doubt [ /topshelf/system/files/u6814/blue_hair_anime_ ]

And here's the link to her outfit: [ .com/cgi/set?id=29040441

Rate, review and enjoy :)

xoxox Chapter 1 xoxox

Even for the middle of the summer, the weather was beautiful and warm. Only the faintest hint of a fluffy cloud tainted the blue sky, illuminated by a burning hot sun. Anyone with fair skin would be forced to stay in the shade on such a day for fear of getting burned. A certain teenage girl had no such luxury. If she did not carry on she would be late, something that the person she intended to meet would not tolerate. A smile edged over the girl's lips as she walked, her hands stuffed into the pockets of her comfortable black shorts which stopped just above her knees. A tshirt adorned her torso, the top half black and the rest white. Over this, despite the heat, she wore a green scarf with blue skulls. As she walked her black sandals made a slight noise against the dirt track. She hoped to be there soon to get out of the sun.

Reaching up she pushed her long blue hair back from her face. It may have been an odd hair colour but it ran in her family as did her blue eyes. Anyone who knew her family would say that she looked just like her father, a man who had been powerful in the village where she had been born. Kisa sighed softly. She missed her father a great deal. He had been killed four years ago when she had been twelve years old, the age most people graduated from ninja academies. Hatori Ando has led his village for years, being their equivalent to the Hokage, and had kept the village a secret even from other ninjas. Nobody had even heard of the The Hidden Village Of The Lake. Why should they? Only by swimming across a vast lake could they reach the island in the centre which was obscured by mists. They would not even have known the island was there.

Lesson number one for a ninja of the Lake was how to walk on water otherwise they might easily drown. That was how Kisa had escaped those who had murdered her father; she ran across the lake to freedom. Technically she was now a missing-nin but who would go hunting for her? She was relatively safe as long as she did not return home. She had yet to find a place to call home in the six years that she had been travelling alone. It was a lonely life but one that she was comfortable with. Still it would have been nice to lie in the same bed every night and to make real friends. That was why she had taken up Tsunade-sama on her offer. They had met a year ago in a small town over a game of poker. Tsunade was not called the Legendary Sucker for nothing and of course Kisa had beaten her. The two had struck up a strange sort of friendship whilst they were both in that town.

Then, ten months down the line, a messenger had found Kisa in a different town with a letter from Tsunade. She had become Hokage of Konoha and wished to offer Kisa a home there if she was interested. Kisa remembered how she had cried with sheer delight and relief as she wrote her reply. So, two months later, she was approaching Konoha with her head held high. She was about to get a new life! She did not expect to be a ninja for the village, it was more than a missing-nin deserved, but a small part of her wished it with all its might.

Soon Kisa reached the gates and was stopped by two ninja. "What business do you have here?" one asked her. Kisa reached into her pocket and handed over the letter from Tsunade that instructed the guards to let her into the village. The one that had spoken to her nodded in acceptance of what he read, "I'd better take you to Hokage-sama then, Miss Ando." With that he turned and walked at a reasonable pace through the village. Still he had no reason to expect her to keep up with a ninja since she looked all too innocent.

Kisa found herself knocking on the Hokage's office door only ten minutes later. A rather harrassed-sounding Tsunade replied "Yeah yeah, come in." Kisa smirked as she pushed the door open and strode into the room. It was funny to think of Tsunade-sama as the Hokage of the village and it was bizarre to see her in an office with her head burried in a book. Kisa cleared her throat which made Tsunade look up. Their eyes met and the older ninja grinned, "Kisa-chan! I thought you weren't coming!"

Kisa chuckled, "Of course I came, Tsunade-sama, I wasn't about to turn down the offer of a home." She reached up and pushed her hair off her face, a nervous habit of hers. She was wondering where she would be living and what her role in the village would be. She had earnt a lot of money on her travels so she could afford not to work for a while but eventually she would need to earn money in Konoha.

Tsunade viewed the younger ninja for a moment. It dawned on her that Kisa had no idea whether or not she would be welcomed into Konoha as a ninja. She had to put her out of her misery, "I've spoken to the Jounin and they took a vote. Hand over your forehead protector, Kisa-chan." Kisa frowned but did as she was instructed, digging it out of her pocket and handing it over. The three circles within one another, denoting the Hidden Village Of The Lake were struck through to show that she was a missing-nin. Tsunade took the forehead protector and threw it into the rubbish bin. She opened a draw in her desk and took out a Konoha forehead protector. "I believe this is yours now, Kisa-chan. You are officially a Chunin of Konoha."

Kisa stared at the forehead protector that she now held, words failing her for a moment. She looked up at Tsunade, "They voted to let me work as a ninja here... as a Chunin?" She did not understand their logic.

"I explained how skilled you are and that you deserved at least the same rank as other ninjas your age," Tsunade replied with a smirk. She had wanted to let her in as a Jounin but the others had rightly argued her down a level. She had to agree though, it would help Kisa to fit in with the others. "I've assigned you to a team who I'm sure you'll meet very soon and I've got an apartment waiting for you."

Kisa's eyes glistened with tears of joy. She hardly felt that she deserved the kindness that she was being shown. It was certainly more than a missing-nin deserved. "Thank you, Tsunade-chan! I wont let you or Konoha down!"
