Family is but a word
For as long as Kasumi could remember she had wanted nothing more than to be a good big sister that Ayane could look up to, to begin with they had gotten along well as children, but then the revelation that she was in fact Ayane's half-sister had caused nothing but resentment and jealousy which had been one sided. However there was no point reflecting on the past, Kasumi wished nothing more than to just live another day and return home, even if her half sister chose to hunt her down and attempt to end her life on a daily basis.
As Kasumi was resting in a tree one day, tired from running, she heard the slightest rustle of leaves, to be fair it was the middle of Autumn but there was no more than a slight breeze, however the breeze was familiar to her, Kasumi flipped down from the tree and as she went to draw her kunai, the familiar flash of purple hair charged at her. Barely having enough time to counter the attack, Kasumi teleported behind Ayane and twisted her hand behind her back, her kunai pressed against her, "why do you insist on attacking me every day?" the hurt was evident in her voice no matter how much she tried to hide it, "you have no one to blame but yourself! You broke the code of the shinobi, you traitor", every time it was the same insults, the same routine, Ayane would call Kasumi a traitor and mock her for leaving the village to help Hayate, Kasumi was starting to grow tired of this, "Ayane I do not wish to fight you" her voice was ever so slightly tinged with anger but more so irritation, "I have done nothing to deserve this treatment from you!, now I ask you leave me be, I honestly don't have the time or the energy to fight you today" she said loosening her grip on the girls wrist, as Kasumi turned to walk away and continue her running Ayane couldn't resist throwing one last insult at her sister "yeah that's right walk away you traitor! You had the chance to kill me and you couldn't! Thank god you never actually inherited the title of leader from uncle Shiden, Hayate sama is exactly what we needed, not a weak, feeble little girl!" Kasumi could tolerate her bratty sister's bitchy attitude no more, "at least I had the opportunity to be the 18th leader of the Mugen Tenshin village, unlike the little, cursed, demon bitch child you are, I may be a runaway shinobi, but you will always be the stain on our family name, the unwanted child!" Kasumi spat this time the anger showing in her voice, normally no matter what Ayane said she was calm and kept her emotions under control not letting Ayane wind her up or get to her, however today she had made one snide comment to many. Infuriated Ayane charged at her sister with a hatred like a volcano, who does she think she is to call me a stain on the family name, I can not help the way I was brought into this world, the comment had been full of spitefulness and intended to hit Ayane where it hurt, and it succeeded. As Ayane ran at her sister charging her signature ninpo spell, the art of the raging mountain god, Kasumi simply jumped out of the way when the spell came within inches of hitting her, she flipped herself into the air, as she landed behind her she sliced her half sister's back with the Shrouded Moon Sword, Ayane screamed in pain from the unexpected attack it cut deep and fast into her skin , however she ignored her pain as she could not and would not allow Kasumi to get away with that so easily, sliced back or not she would make her pay, she quickly performed a back flip, wrapping her legs around her neck she threw her to the ground with her feet alone, taking the opportunity that she had caught Kasumi off guard, she plunged a kunai straight into her sister's chest ensuring it was as deep the as the slice she had received on her back, however before she could kill her and finally achieve her dream, the air that had been exposed to her open wound caused her excruciating pain, it was a stinging sensation and the only thing it could be compared to was being stung repeatedly by wasps, despite her training which meant normally she was able to tolerate much higher levels of pain than this she was unable to tolerate the pain any longer and collapsed to the floor in a ball, despite her pain it brought her satisfaction beyond words to see Kasumi in pain, visibly upset and on the floor struggling to breathe as the blood started seeping out of her sister, even if she was still alive it felt satisfying for Ayane knowing she was in agonising pain all because of her, it brought a feeling of satisfaction, no pleasure knowing she had caused the slightest bit of pain, especially after all the pain she had endured in her childhood, both from the villagers and her supposed sister.
Ayane struggled to lift herself on to her feet after she had collapsed, however she thought through the pain, at last I can end her life, bring her all the suffering and pain she has caused me tenfold Ayane thought to herself. As she moved and stood over her sister, as she went to sink the blade deeper into her, a look of sadness in Kasumi's eyes had caught her attention, the look stirred a feeling of guilt in her Ayane's Heart, "Ayane why do…" Kasumi could barely finish her sentence but somehow, she found the willpower within her, "why do you wish to kill me? Do you really despise me that much?"
