This fanfiction is a Gaara/OC, which for me is the best type of fanfiction story. I skipped to Naruto shippuden because I just can't write a romance when the characters are so young. Also this isn't going to be a story where a character is added but all they do is steal from other characters because I find that really annoying. Hope you like the story and if anyone wants to be my beta reader or if you just want to give me an idea I'm all for it

Destiny's Calling

Chapter 1

The soothing morning breeze woke Sayuri up just as the sun was rising. She got up quickly, wanting to start the day as early as possible. Some people might have thought she was crazy for wanting to wake up so early but there was just something so exciting about waking up before everyone. The village was quiet and only the birds gave any indication that the day had begun with their melodic songs.

Opening her cupboard she pulled out her usual outfit. Sayuri's outfit consisted of a dark amethyst coloured shirt with a turtleneck. The shirt didn't have sleeves but on the sides was a white material that went well with the shirt. The shirt then went down into a skirt with to slits up her legs. Under that she wore white leggings that went just under her knees. Her boots were black that went up her legs, stopping under her knees. Sayuri's hair was brushed and left down. She had beautiful silvery blonde hair that went straight down past her shoulders with the front bits shaped around her face.

(I have put two links up on my fanfiction page to show anyone that wants to see what she looks like and her cloths because my description isn't really good)

Strapped to her right leg was a small black pouch that held her kunai and other useful weapons. Her forehead protector engraved with the symbol of the hidden leaf village wrapped around her right arm with a black cloth, matching her boots. On her left arm was a purple tattoo that wrapped around her arm. Sayuri had been born with the Kanji and she loved the tattoo. It meant destiny, which fitted her perfectly.

Sayuri had a rare kekkei genkai, so rare in fact that she was the only person known to have the ability, or so her mother said. Her blood limit allowed her to see into the future but it was more than that. It gave her a six sense; she always knew when it was time to go or when something was about to happen no matter how big or small. That's why the destiny tattoo suited her, as she controlled destiny with her power.

It was for this reason that she lived here in the village with her Obaasan (Grandmother). Sayuri's mother always said that she needed to be protected because of her power and whenever she visited she would always train her with useful battle techniques. Sayuri loved her mother and knew that she was only protecting her and that's what she loved about her. Her Oka-san (mother) was the strongest woman and for that Sayuri looked up to her. Sayuri may not have spent that much time with Tsunade but as the fifth Hokage Sayuri understood what was important to the hidden leave village.

Once she was ready Sayuri ran downstairs, grabbed an apple and ran out the door. Obaasan was already waiting, sitting on a dead tree stump.

"Mmmm, you seem to get up earlier and earlier each day." Obaasan chuckled. Sayuri sat cross legged at her feet, smiling.

"Well my dream is to get up before you." Sayuri said cheekily.

"Ok settle down. Today we will carry on with the winter dragon fire Ninjutsu."

Sayuri grimaced; she had been working on the Ninjutsu for a week now without successfully mastering the jutsu.

Determined to master the jutsu Sayuri put her hands together in the familiar dragon hand seal, shouting "Winter Dragon Jutsu!" With those words Sayuri put as much chakra as she could into the hand seal as an ice colored dragon appeared from her hands. The creature got bigger and bigger, but before the jutsu was finished her charka flow shifted. The unstable flow disrupted the jutsu and the dragon disappeared in a cloud of cold air.

"Arrg, why can't I do it?"Sayuri yelled at the vanished dragon. Sayuri had always mastered jutsu very easily because her chakra level was so high, but also because her kekkei genkai gave her a lot of power. Because of this Sayuri had passed her Chuunin exam with ease, but in a different way. Because she was meant to be kept secret her mother had hired a Jounin examiner to come and determine her abilities. She had passed and had been happy at the time, but after she had wished that she could have participate in the real test.

"Sayuri, you will never learn this jutsu if you cannot remain calm. To master a jutsu you cannot rely on talent alone, that will get you know where. If you really want to become stronger you need to work as hard as you can. Nothing in life is as easy as you think. Now with that in mind, take a deep breath and tell me what happened."

Sayuri slumped at her Obaasan's scolding but recounted everything that happened.

"It feels just like every other time I perform a Jutsu and I know I can do it but right before the dragon is complete my chakra flow becomes unstable. I practiced my other jutsu and nothing happened, it's only this Jutsu that affects my charka."

Obaasan mmmmed in thought. Sayuri huffed; it looked like this would take a while. Sayuri flopped down onto the grass, waiting.

After a while Obaasan looked down at her and mmmmed again.

"I think I know what is wrong. You have the power and the will for this jutsu but you don't have the need for it. Until you are in a battle you can never truly learn this jutsu."

"Hu, what's that supposed to mean. Are you telling me that I can't learn the jutsu?" Sayuri yelled, her face going red in anger.

Obaasan laughed, looking at her. Sayuri pulled a face.

"You misunderstand me Sayuri. I believe that you will master this jutsu to perfection but in order to do that you will have to wait until you are in grave need of this technique. Do you understand?"

"Um, no." Sayuri said in confusion.

"You will in time, child."

With that weird conversation over Sayuri practised her Taijutsu with Obaasan. Even in her old age Obaasan was a very skilled fighter and had taught Sayuri almost everything that she knew.

Only a handful of people knew about Sayuri's origins. Her mother, grandmother, Kakashi Hatake and Jiraiya. All four were her teachers, but only Obaasan was a permanent figure. Each came down to see her whenever they could. Kakashi had started to come more and more lately while Jiraiya hadn't come in years. This had upset her until Kakashi had told her that he was away training a boy that like her was in danger. Sayuri accepted this but was saddened that she hadn't gotten to see him.

Sayuri loved all of them, as they loved her. They were an odd family but it worked for them. Jiraiya was like an uncle and Kakashi was like a brother but they were actually cousins on her father's side. Because of that and the fact that she was Kakashi's only relative, it gave them a bond that could never be destroyed and Kakashi would protect her with his life and Vice versa.

Smiling at the thought Sayuri worked harder with her training, pushing herself until she was out of breath and sweat was pouring down her neck.

The morning went by quickly as Obaasan trained Sayuri. By the time she was finished it was twelve o'clock. After the morning training Sayuri could do whatever she wanted but first she decided to have a bath.

Once she was clean Sayuri decided to walk up a tree. Literally.

Channeling the chakra to her feet she walked up a tall, old tree that grew outside the village. Sayuri didn't really feel like training right now, so she just sat high up in the tree, thinking. It was nice being up so high, looking down at the village.

A cold shiver went down her back, giving Sayuri goose bumps. A feeling of dread followed as her kekkei genkai activated. At once she knew that she was in danger. Sayuri jumped down from the tree, while pushing chakra to her feet to land gracefully onto a tree below without a noise.

Her only thoughts were to get out of the forest. The words repeated inside her head.

GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!

Fear took over like never before. It was a cold burning sensation, coursing through her body.

Sayuri was almost home when a vision struck her. Her body stopped moving and her eyes widened and turned from a light sapphire blue to a striking cobalt blue.

Two men ran through the forest, both wearing black cloaks with red clouds. They both had startling appearances. The younger man had black hair just below his shoulders with pitch black eyes. His forehead protector showed that he was from the hidden leaf village but it had a scratch through it. The same was with the blue man, though his identified him from the hidden mist village. He looked the scarier of the two, complete with pale blue-grey skin tone, small, round white eyes, gill-like facial markings under his eyes, gills on his shoulders and sharp triangular teeth.

"I hope this girl puts up a fight. We haven't taken on anyone interesting in a while." The blue man said while smirking.

"Kisame, the mission is not about having fun. Conducting Sayuri Senju into the Akatsuki is the main objective."

"Yeah, but it still wouldn't hurt to mess with her a bit." Kisame stated.

"Kisame! The whole point is to capture her, not kill her. We need her remember." The dark one growled. "Now hurry up, we're almost there."

With those last words Sayuri snapped out of the vision and trembled. They were after her. She didn't know what this Akatsuki was and she didn't want to find out. She started to run again, knowing that she didn't have much time. They would be in the village soon. Sayuri recognised the part of the forest they were in and knew they would be here in less than ten minutes. She had to act fast.

Sayuri knew that she would make it home in time but the fear never left her. She wasted no time in dodging the branches as they swiped across her face.

Her house came into view and without pause she crashed into the house, startling her grandmother.

"Someone's coming for me; I'm going to run to Konoha. You must send a letter to mother, there's no time to waste. Tell her the Akatsuki are after me, send the fastest bird." She looked into her Obaasan's eyes, silently showing the gravity of the situation.

Obaasan nodded, having known that this day would come.

"I have to go." Tears soaked Sayuri's eyes. With one last hug from her Obaasan she raced out into the afternoon sun.

Sayuri didn't worry about Obaasan not following what she said; she knew that at the moment Obaasan was writing a hurried letter to Oka-san.

All the chakra that she had was poured into her legs and feet, enabling her to run faster. This wasn't an ideal plan as using all of her chakra up would leave her almost defenceless if those men caught up to her, but as she knew that she only needed a small head start she could afford to use up some chakra and regain it later.

As the hours passed and the sun sunk lower and lower in the sky, Sayuri felt that it was time to slow down and recover. She didn't stop but paced herself, using less chakra. Deep down she knew that the men would catch up to her but as long as she at least reached the half way mark then she would be fine. Never the less this didn't relieve her.

Sayuri wished she would get a vision; something to tell her what was going to happen. If only she could command her power at will. But no, she knew if she had a vision now then she would never make it. The feeling of dread washed over her again. She was scared. Sayuri may be a powerful ninja but never before had she been in a real life situation.

By the time the sun was raising the next day Sayuri knew that they were almost upon her. At least she had made it passed the half way mark, if only by a couple of hundred meters.

A warning sign went off inside her body and she jumped up in a flip before landing with her feet planted on the side of a tree. Looking up she saw two men, armed and coming right at her.
