Chapter 1: Introducing Kira
Tsuki Maro stared at his genin team in disbelief and sighed as he once again thought of his teams information that he'd been handed only two months ago. Jin Yasou had been third in his class and had managed decent scores on the written tests, Rinki Yasou had been fourth right after her cousin and scored great on written exams while Kira Shozumaku had been first in everything. He managed to keep that in mind as he pried the three apart and set them in different areas.
The blonde 25 year old looked at his students and turned to Rinki and Jin. The brunette cousins were staring at the ground in front of them and Tsuki sighed.
"What was it this time?"
"Jin stole my diary and started to read it." Rinki mumbled, staring intently at a leaf on her shoe. The jounin sighed and turned to Jin.
"Jin did you steal her diary?" Jin nodded sullenly, "Then please give it back." Jin handed the purple colored notebook to his cousin and then Tsuki turned to the one he'd been dreading.
"Kisa why were you fighting?" Kira stood up and stared solemnly at her sensei.
"Jin insulted my manhood by grabbing Rinki's diary." The Maro sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"So in other words, you saw them fighting and wanted in." Kira nodded her deep red eyes crinkling up at the corners as she smiled widely.
"Yes, sir." She saluted, crossing her eyes and sticking her tongue out.
'And here I was going to give you guys the chance to be in the Chuunin exams." Tsuki sighed dramatically and shrugged. "Oh well the other rookie teams should do okay." The three all stared at him and started screaming.
"What?! No way!"
"We have to go!"
"Chocolate Pie!" Everyone stopped and stared at Kira, she shrugged and smiled.
"Everyone was shouting what they wanted so I thought I'd join in." Jin and Rinki sighed and wished they had a more serious teammate.
"Such a waste of the Shokugan." Jin told his family member.
"I know." Rinki replied shaking her head sadly as they walked past Tsuki and grabbed a permission slip from him. The two left of Team Maro could hear them talking all the way back to the village.
"When you gonna tell them?" Tsuki asked his student carefully. Kira sighed and leaned back against the grass and stared up at the white clouds.
"Tell them what?" She asked innocently.
"That you graduated top of the class." Kira laughed loudly and jumped up.
"So I'm a good ninja," She said nonchalantly, "I like my personality even if they believe a Shozumaku shouldn't act this way." Tsuki chuckled and leaned his head back to stare at the clouds with his favorite student. The leaves swirled around their feet as the two stood quietly in a comfortable silence outside of the Moon village.
"You can see the Leaf village from here!" Kira yelled dramatically as well as sarcastically as her team stood outside the gates of Konoha. Tsuki chuckled and steered the group through the gates and over to the guard station just inside.
"Hello," He said, smiling as if they were all best friends, "We need to know the way to the Hokage's tower." The Chuunin's smiled and pointed the way to go and Kira gave them her goofy salute until her team pulled her away.
"Idiot." Rinki hissed, Jin nodded and Kira simply smiled happily as she skipped away from them. The two Yasou's shook their heads and followed slowly.
Kira smiled and looked around as she skipped only to realize she couldn't see her team anymore. She looked around for a minute then shrugged and as she passed an alley way noticed a group of people her age.
"Excuse me?" She asked politely, walking down the narrow way and stopping in front of them. Only then did she notice that they all wore different headbands and were glaring at each other. Mentally she smacked herself and cursed her bad luck.
"Could you tell me where the Hokage's tower is?" She managed, looking hopefully at the Leaf ninja. They all stared at her but she didn't notice since she was to busy staring at a flame. In reality it was a head full of red hair but as the sun hit it, it looked like a flame and being the pyro she was, Kira couldn't stop staring.
Without noticing it, she moved forward and reached out to touch it. A wall of sand suddenly stopped her hand and she pouted at it. Moving a little to the left she tried to touch it again only to be blocked again. She huffed angrily and put her hands on her waist and glared at the offending dirt.
"Now look Mr. Sand-wall-that-likes-to-protect-the-fire, I don't appreciate it and would like you to go away." Attentively, she reached out and encountered the same problem.
"Fine, have it that way." She sneered at it and took her backpack off her back, she started fumbling in it and the group of ninja stared at her stunned. "Found it!" She cried happily, showing everyone her water flask. Once again Kira reached out to touch the flame and once again the sand got in her way but this time she threw the water on it and smiled as it collapsed into mud. She quickly reached out only to be stopped again.
"Why?!" She cried out, falling to her knees, "I turned you to mud with the water!" She stared down at the sand and sighed. "Oh well."
"Kira there you are!" She turned to see her team and stood up before turning to talk to the boy who, in her mind, she had dubbed 'Flame.'
"You should feel honored that the sand protects you so faithfully, Flame." Kira gave him a serious look. "A worthy adversary indeed." She muttered, glaring at the sand. Tsuki, Rinki, and Jin could feel the vein in their temples pulsing so they apologized quickly and hurried Kira away from the Sand and Leaf ninja. Konohamaru turned to Naruto and asked the question on everyone's mind.
"Yo Boss, you sure she's a ninja?" Naruto shrugged and walked away.
"….and then his bodyguard wouldn't let me touch him." Kira said, smiling at her team.
"Bodyguard?" Jin questioned giving Kira a confused look. Kira grinned and leaned in, giving a wicked smile at the boy.
"The sand!" She stage whispered dramatically, Rinki sighed and shook her head at the ground sadly. Jin still looked confused and turned to Tsuki.
"But how can sand be a bodyguard?"
"He was from Suna so he probably has a kekkai genkai that enables him to control sand." The jounin explained, looking up from his book. Jin gave an 'oh' face and nodded, happy he finally understood. Tsuki closed his book with a satisfied snap and turned to his students.
"I have big news." Kira smiled and bounced up and down.
"You finally got the pony I wanted?"
"No," Tsuki said, sweat dropping.
"You got me pie?"
"No,"
"You've realized I am your supreme overlord?" Tsuki simply ignored the last question and turned to the other two students.
"We." He paused dramatically then finished, "Are lost."
"Nuh uh." Kira said, folding her arms across her chest.
"Uh huh." Tsuki mocked, copying her position.
"Nuh uh."
"Uh huh."
"Nuh uh!."
"Uh huh!."
"NUH UH."
"UH HUH." Kira huffed angrily and pointed to her left.
"What do you call that then?" Team Maro looked over and stared at the Hokage tower.
"When did that get there?" Tsuki asked, cocking his head to the side and staring at the building puzzled.
"Um sensei? I think its been there." Rinki said, staring at her teacher sadly. Tsuki ignored her and turned to Kira.
"It must have been magic!" Kira nodded enthusiastically at her teachers reasoning and looked at the building.
"Or unicorns brought it!"
"Or elves!"
"Or elves on unicorns!"
"Uh guys?" Jin tried to cut in.
"Or small unicorns riding on top of elves who are on top of unicorns!" Tsuki looked excited and Kira frowned.
"I think it might have been dragons." Tsuki scowled and shook his head.
"No, that's im-"
"GUY'S!" Jin shouted, startling everyone in the street. "Can we please just go inside?"
"Jeez, what's his problem?" Tsuki asked Kira as they walked inside and up the stairs.
"I think he's pmsing." She replied wisely, nodding her head. Rinki tried to stop her cousin as he tried to throw himself out the second floor window in an attempt to get away from his crazy sensei and teammate. Kira noticed him in the window and walked up.
"That's not safe." Kira said as she grabbed his collar and started dragging him down the hallway to the office of the Hokage. "You could have died doing that."
"If only I had succeeded." Jin whimpered, sobbing into his hands. Rinki followed at a distance as she watched her cousin slowly lose his sanity.
"Hello, hello." Kira sang as she walked into the room, missing the fact she'd interrupted a meeting between Hokage and jounin.
"Excuse me, this is a priva-" Kira stopped him with a hand over her mouth and smiled.
"It's okay, I understand." She gave a bright smile and ushered her team into the corner. "We'll just wait right here." She sat down and her teammates frowned.
"Idiot, that's not what he meant." Rinki growled, her face growing red from embarrassment.
"Oh, did they want us to turn and face the wall?" Kira asked, looking over at the group confused until she spotted something. "Lookie a crystal ball." She bounded over and stared down at the spherical ball of mystery. "Pretty." She put her finger to it and stared, awe gripping her body.
"We're very sorry." Tsuki said, moving forward and grabbing Kira. "We'll just go." He tried to pull his student but she refused to budge instead choosing to stare intently at the ball. Rinki sighed and pulled a flashlight out of her pocket.
"Look Kira, there's a fairy." Kira's head snapped around so fast most of the Leaf jounin wondered if she had whiplash. The girls red eyes followed the beam of light like a predator stalking it's prey.
"This time your mine!:" She ran after the light which Rinki made go out the door. Tsuki bowed once more before he to ran after the light with cries of 'fairy.' Rinki sighed at her team's simplicity and slowing dragged her shaking family member out of the room. The shinobi of Konoha stared at the after the team before deciding silently to act as if it never occurred.
Rinki smirked as Kira slammed into the wall and directed her flashlight in a different direction.
"You almost had it that time." She shouted as the raven haired girl glared at the little light moving around on the walls.
"I will avenge her failures!" Tsuki cried, pointing menacingly at the patch of light. Rinki snickered and watched as the other female and jounin tried to grab the 'fairy.'
"Excuse me? The Hokage told me to show you to your hotel." A Chuunin stood in the doorway of the waiting area and tried to control the twitching in his left eye. When he'd walked in to see a jounin and a girl running after a flashlight beam calling it fairy and as he walked farther in he could see a boy in the corner rocking back and forth muttering about pmsing. He sighed, sad he'd lost the coin toss to take these four to their temporary home.
"Pie!" Kira cried, jumping onto the poor man's back and kicking him in the sides. The man stumbled and turned to glare at the girl.
"Get off please." He asked, forcing himself to be polite.
"No can do." Kira said, leaning back carefully. The man's eye twitched.
"And why not?" Kira leaned in as if telling a big secret.
"The voices told me not to."
"Kira, off now." Rinki commanded, pointing at the ground. Kira pouted but complied with her teammates wishes and the chuunin smiled gratefully.
"Please follow me." He muttered, keeping on eye on Kira as she smiled at the man mischievously. Tsuki smiled warmly and pulled the man ahead so he wouldn't have to be near his students. Kira smiled at a frowning Rinki and decided to walk on the fences lining the sidewalks. Rinki grabbed Jin who had gotten his sanity back and was beginning to gather his wits about him once again.
"You put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up," Kira started singing as they walked down the street to the hotel.
