Authors Notes: Hello! I'm just going to write that I'm actually making two stories at once. So It may take some time actually putting up each chapter. But my friend has the pages with the other story, so I'm not getting them back soon. Plus, this is only the first chapter, and it really only tells about the girl's past. Alright then, enjoy. P.S I do not own anything about chakra or jutsu's, or anything else shown on Naruto.

"Toge!" the boy shouted, seeing the nineteen year old girl in the distance. She turned with a groan and bent over. Her clear blue eyes begged him to hurry, the boy saw she was carrying groceries and immediately sped up to hurry.
"Toge, guess what?" he grinned. The girl closed her eyes, sighed, and slowly stood, her straight, blonde hair traveled until it arrived just above her sciatic.
"What is it, Osamu?" Toge asked the boy who was grinning at her wildly. When she stood, she was almost twice the size as him.
"I heard that Shouta might be closing down. He's only student is you, I don't get it though. You're really powerful and nobody else wants to have a teacher like him. If I was old enough, I'd join," Osamu said, almost running just to catch up to Toge's pace.
"That's the problem, Osamu. There aren't many people who are the correct age, and in these parts not many of them want to know how to fight," Toge sighed.
"So I guess you heard too, right?"
"I was the first to know." The two fell silent as they made their way towards the inn that Toge had been staying in for the past two months.
"It's weird. You've only been here for a few weeks and yet in that time you've become more powerful than Shouta, and he's our most powerful ninja," Osamu said, his hazel eyes looking up at Toge in pride.
"Wow, it's amazing," she replied sarcastically. "Look I'm leaving soon."
"What?! Why?"
"I need to go; you know I'm a traveler. Have I ever told you about a place that I've stayed longer then three months in?" Toge asked.
"Yes! Your home village!"
"…" Silence. It was silent again, but this time there was only one person walking. Osamu looked around and faced Toge, whose face was hidden in her blonde fringe. She had stiffened.
"Never mention that again, ever," she said. Toge spun around and walked the opposite way, dropping her bag of groceries. Osamu was about to follow, but thought better of it and picked the bags filled with food up, and walked towards the inn.
"I wonder what's wrong with her. The sun's setting, she should hurry up, or else she'll be mugged," Osamu mumbled. He looked up to the sky with his hazel eyes, feeling no peace.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Toge had decided. Tonight will be the night. She would have to wait though, so until then she would wait at the lake. She had picked up a few of the flat rocks that were lying around, and through them at the lake with some force. They skipped two times. Toge hadn't used chakra, she never did for things that didn't matter. Although she was very powerful, she still had to finish one more thing to graduate from Shouta, and that was to skip rocks, without using hands, more than twice. It used a lot of chakra, and at that moment she thought about practicing it, but then again she would need to use chakra later, and the more she practiced the less chakra she would have until she succeeded at it. The she would have much more chakra than she had at that moment. After throwing her seventh rock, Toge sat down. She was a water type, there was no way she should manipulate earth. But that was the test, if she could pass it, she could surpass Shouta. Her sensei was a wind type, so for Toge even two skips would make her more powerful, as water was 'weaker' than earth. But this did not make her think otherwise, Toge sat on her rock and opened her hand, showing a flat rock. She put it down in front of her and concentrated. After a few minutes Toge opened her eyes and saw an edge of the rock had collapsed. She sighed and closed her eyes again. In the silence of the lake she heard a drip; she opened her eyes and looked down. Most of the rock stood the same, but the edge that had fallen off was missing.
"Darn," she mumbled, realizing that the edge was the only thing that had skipped. Toge had practiced for ages, by the time the sun had set, she was up to her fifth rock, and that would need replacing soon, from the broken edges. Toge realized her breathing had increased, and tried one last time before giving up. She focused everything she had into the rock in front of her. She soon heard a crack and then a large wave.
"Argh!" she cried, standing up from the rock. She was dripping wet, and the crack was just the rock. It had broken in half after too much work.
"Stupid, large wave," Toge mumbled, pulling at her hair, trying to get the water out.
"How am I going to explain this to Hana? Oh wait, I don't have to," Toge smiled.
She started to walk back to her sensei's house.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The brunette girl had sent her brother home, and Hana waited for Toge to come back to the inn. Her green eyes watched in the distance, watching for dark figures walking towards the inn. She had figured that Toge was at the lake, back Osamu had told his sister that Toge needed some alone time, and not to go after her, so Hana decided to wait. Neither Hana nor Osamu, were as old as Toge. She was nineteen and Osamu was eight, and Hana was fourteen. She sat on the bench, the night was young, but she knew that nobody new was coming to claim a room, and the only person left to wait for was Toge.
Hana could hear Toge's voice right now.
"Stupid, now you have to walk home, in the dark. This village is one of the most dangerous places I've been to. Plus, I'm older; it's no use waiting for me when you know I'll be fine."
Hana sighed. She walked into one of the rooms to get changed out of her uniform, which was beginning to itch.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Toge had been past Shouta's house, now she was at the inn. She knew Hana would be waiting somewhere for her, so Toge snuck in through the window. The last thing she would need was an idiot talking to her. After having a shower and packing her bag, she threw her possessions out of the window. She was in a feral mood after not being able to throw one stupid rock. Toge checked out the window to see if everything was fine, and if anyone was around, it didn't seem like it so she took the long way out, walking through the building.
Smoke rolled around her, as she released her henge jutsu. The changes weren't much, but they hid some dark secrets. Her pupils were slits, and her canine teeth were larger than a normal person. Any part of her skin that was tanned was now gone, showing paleness. Toge smiled a little, another three months had passed, and now she would be leaving the new town, the one that didn't deserve a name, the one that had drunks ready to claim a inn in fire. Toge grabbed a kunai and headed out of her room, she couldn't leave any survivors, it wouldn't be natural, and people would start wondering what was going on with the monster that would be found in the newspaper every three weeks. She walked in the shadows, ready to cast any kind of jutsu on anyone that dared attack her. The vision in her eyes slightly fuzzed, she would need more energy. Toge saw a man just about to leave his room, and smiled. He turned from the door after locking it, and saw the blonde figure. He was about to scream, or turn and run, but he was grabbed too soon.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Hana frowned. She had changed into some jeans and a yellow shirt. But yet Toge still hadn't arrived. She heard a thump from a few stories above and sighed. 'Might as well check what it is' she thought. Hana walked towards the old fashioned stairs and placed a hand on the side part, then made her way to the third floor of the inn.
Hana hadn't really thought much of it, just something she would have to clean or such, but no sooner had she heard a woman scream. Her heart paused for a moment, before running up the stairs. The woman's screaming soon finished quickly, as if someone had grabbed her by the mouth or attacked her. Hana's running soon turned to a sprint, skipping some stairs trying to make her way to the third floor. Her head started to spin, what had happened? Did someone die? Or faint? Whatever had happened, it didn't seem to be good. Not only were the questions forcing Hana to become dizzy, but the panting in her breath wasn't helping either.
"What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?" she breathed in and out.
Soon Hana had made it to the third floor. She checked out the flooring. There was a sordid stench coming from somewhere, but it would've been on the other side of the hallway, considering Hana couldn't see it.
Hana slowly walked towards what awaited her in the darkness, her eyes were wide open. Her pace grew faster as she became anxious to know what was in there. By the time she had arrived at the horror, she had been at a sprint again.
"Oh my god…" was all she could breathe out from her lips. At her feet were two people, one a male, one a female, covered in each others blood.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Hana ran from the floor, hearing more screaming from the ones below.
'What is this? A serial murder.' she thought to herself. Each level was the same, more and more dead bodies covered in blood. She had made it to the ground floor, and saw someone waiting for her at the end of the stairs.
'Oh my god…'
The figure started to laugh, as if mocking her pain.
"W-who are you?" she stuttered. The laughing stopped.
"Oh come on Hana, you've known me for how long? Three months?" the voice said.
Hana found that the voice was feminine.
"No…NO!"
"That's right, it was me," the girl stood from the shadows, showing Toge's appearance clearly.
Hana stepped backwards, forgetting about the stairs, and tripped. She cried in pain as her head fell to the floor. Toge laughed some more.
"Oh by the way, Osamu visited Shouta after me, I'm sorry but I had to kill him. It wouldn't be the greatest thing if he knew who killed his childhood hero," she cackled some more. Hana saw that there was blood dripping from Toge's mouth. She took one at the, were those fangs?! Yes they were. Toge was a walking vampire.
"Y-you're a…v-vamp-"
"Vampire? No actually I'm not. It's just something like a bloodline limit, although we only gain it once we turn eighteen," Toge said, smiling. She bent down towards Hana, throwing a kunai at her.
"You just lost your whole family," Toge whispered "and your whole life." Hana noticed the bar next to her was on fire. Toge stood up, and turned.
"So this is what you've been doing, huh? Every three months you attack a town? What is this to you, some experiment?" Hana shouted.
"Yes," Toge answered.
"What?"
"You're just a low life girl who has never taken a step out of her town. Leave me alone," Toge turned to leave, only this time Hana didn't stop her. Hana looked over to the kunai on the floor and knew what she had to do, knew what the experiment was. She picked it up and reached to her throat.
"Goodbye," she whispered, a tear falling of her cut cheek.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Toge reached the edge of the town and wiped her chin. She smirked, knowing that although she had left someone alive, it had been like any other time.
"Pathetic. Humans can't live without will, or anything for their future," she mumbled underneath her jacket. Toge grabbed a pendant that lied at the end of a chain around her neck, then made some movements with the other hand.
"Henge," she breathed, changing back to what she was before. The trip was going to be long. Dead long.
