Personality: She's very caring and passionate. She's trustworthy, understanding, and is always willing to help or hear her friends out. She's very considerate and always puts others before herself. She's usually positive about everything and tries to cheer people up when their down. She's not normally one to hate or hold grudges and forgives people despite what they've done; which can be a weakness at times. She's also clumsy and becomes embarrassed easily. So to shorten all that up, she's basically a mio character. And I wasn't sure where to put this, but she's also got a beauty mark on the left side of her face; right on her cheekbone
"talking"
'thoughts'
It was nightfall within the land of Lightning. The moon was full and the stars showered their bright little lights over the mountain surrounded village hidden in the clouds; Kumogakure. And in a nearby forest, a girl was walking peacefully down a dirt path; her name was Tsuki. She wasn't alone either; her dog, Cherry, accompanied her. Cherry was a 3 year old, white and dark ruby Siberian husky with brown eyes and a red bow on her left ear. As they walked together Tsuki glanced up at the sky
"Wow, tonight's really beautiful, wouldn't you agree Cherry?" asked Tsuki; smiling at her companion
Cherry gave a cheerful bark; Tsuki giggled
"Thought so," she said
Up ahead of the two a bush rustled and a squirrel ran into the middle of the path
Looking at the squirrel Tsuki said, "Aww! What a cute little squirrel!"
Cherry raised her ears and began inching closer to it
"Hey stop! You'll scare it away!" complained Tsuki
But she didn't listen, and just as she said the squirrel took one look at the curious husky and ran. Cherry gave a loud bark and high-tailed after it
"H-Hey! Where are you going? Come back!" yelled Tsuki as she ran after her, "Cherry! Stop!"

An hour had passed since Cherry ran off, and Tsuki had lost sight of her not too long after
"Cherry!" she shouted, "Cherry! Oh where could she have gone?"
She continued to search for her; eventually winding up into a clearing. There was a river that streamed along down a path, and pouring into it was a large waterfall that sparkled and shimmered under the light of the night sky
"Wow, it's so pretty," she said; completely awed, "Hmm? Wait what's that?"
Looking closely at the waterfall she noticed a dark shadow behind the roaring water
'A shadow? But that doesn't seem right, there's supposed to be just rock behind there' she thought
The shadow slowly disappeared; which made Tsuki even more suspicious. She thought for a minute
'Maybe I should investigate' she thought again
She started walking towards the waterfall, then stopped herself suddenly
"W-Wait! What am I doing? I need to find Cherry! Yea, and besides, I shouldn't go snooping around. I'll just get in trouble," she told herself
She turned around and began walking away
She stopped again and looked back at the waterfall
"But...then again...that shadow could have been Cherry..." she said thoughtfully
She sighed
"I hope I don't regret this later," she said turning back around
She ran up to the waterfall and looked at it. She lifted her hand and slowly reached past it; she was expecting to feel a rock, but instead felt nothing but cold air. She made a small gasp, then after a little hesitation she walked past the waterfall. Completely soaked, she looked around; shocked at what she was seeing. There was a long, dark tunnel that seemed to lead downward somewhere. This sent chills down her spine, but she walked down it anyway; softly calling Cherry's name along the way. The tunnel continued to go deeper and deeper underground. It eventually became so cold that she would've been able to see her own breath; if she could really see at all. She rubbed her arms and shivered; even with her coat on
"I-It's s-s-so c-c-cold d-d-d-down h-h-h-here," she stuttered; teeth chattering, "I-Ill g-g-get s-s-sick a-a-at t-t-this r-r-rate,"
She stopped at her last words; she frowned heavily
'Hmph, that'll be the day' she thought
She made it half-way into the tunnel when she saw that it branched out into two tunnels. She heard groaning coming from the tunnel on the right and decided to go down the left tunnel just in case there was something she didn't want to see down the other way. Walking down the tunnel a few minutes more she suddenly sees a light at ahead of her. Running to the light she comes to a stop in front of a closed door
"A door?" she whispered
As she got closer she could hear boasted laughter from inside; from the sound of it there were a lot of men in there
"Huh? I didn't know people actually came down here," she whispered again; listening in
"Hahaha! This plan is ingenious! Those stupid leaf ninja won't know what hit them!" shouted one man
"And it's all thanks to our brilliant leader!" shouted another as everyone cheered
"Now now, don't thank me men. Thank our newest weapon! Because with him at our side, nobody will be able to stop us once we take action! We'll destroy Konoha and it's pathetic Hokage and rule with an iron fist! We'll be invincible! Kumogakure will finally take it's place as the strongest nation in the world!" exclaimed another
The men all cheered once more; Tsuki couldn't believe what she was hearing
"Eh?!" she said with pure disbelief; quite loudly
She covered her mouth; wishing she hadn't done that
'Uh oh. I hope they didn't hear that' she thought
"What was that?" asked one man
'Just my luck. They heard me' she thought again; regretting that she ever set foot behind the waterfall
"I think we have an intruder!" exclaimed another
"Go and check! If there is one then make sure they don't escape!" said another
'Oh no!' Tsuki thought
She flew back around and ran as fast as she could back up the tunnel; the door opened behind her
"Hey you!" shouted a man
"Get back here!" shouted another
They both began chasing after her
'Oh no! This is bad! Real bad! If they catch me I'm done for!' she thought again
Still running Tsuki suddenly heard a low growling sound coming from the extra tunnel she saw earlier
"Huh? What the?!" exclaimed the first man
"Ahh!!" exclaimed the other
Tsuki stopped and turned around to see what was going on; there was something attacking both men
"You stupid mutt!" yelled the first man
'Stupid mutt?' wondered Tsuki
They both continued their screams until finally the creature brought both of them onto the ground; they both groaned in pain. Whatever it was that attacked them then looked over at Tsuki; she froze
"Ch-Cherry? Is that you?" she asked
The creature gave a loud bark and pounced on Tsuki; it was indeed Cherry
"I found you! God I was so worried about you! Don't run off like that ever again!" she said; giving her a big hug
Cherry gave her a happy bark and licked her face; she giggled
"Hurry! Over here!" shouted a man; ruining the moment
"Oh no! Cherry we gotta go!" exclaimed Tsuki
Getting Cherry off of her and standing up she ran for the exit with Cherry running beside her
"No you don't! You're not getting away!" he shouted
The man swung around a ball and chain and threw the end at Tsuki. Despite the distance it caught her and the chain surrounded her making her fall to the ground
"Gotcha!" he said and began pulling her towards him
Tsuki struggled helplessly while Cherry whined and began biting the chain; but it was no use. Her teeth couldn't bite through metal
"It's no use, I'm trapped. Go on without me! Run while you still can!" exclaimed Tsuki
Cherry whined again; signaling that she didn't want to go
"Don't worry about me! Just go!" she told her, "Please Cherry!"
"You're not going anywhere!" said the man as he pulled her the rest of the way
He tried to grab Cherry but she managed to dodge him
"Go! NOW!" shouted Tsuki again
She didn't want to leave her, but even so she obeyed her master and fled from the tunnel. The man made no effort to go after her
"Ah whatever, it's just a stupid dog anyway," he said, "And besides, I caught myself something much more interesting."
Cherry couldn't stand the thought of Tsuki being captured, but she continued to run like she was told. And it wasn't until she was all the way back in the village when she finally stopped. She looked up at the moon; her eyes full of sorrow. Then she gave a long, sad howl to the moon
"What on earth is going on out there?" asked a voice suddenly
Cherry looked at the person; it was an elderly woman in a nightgown standing in front of a home that looked to be built into the mountains that surrounded the village
"Cherry? Is that you? My goodness do you know what time it is? Where is your owner?" the woman asked walking up to Cherry
She just sat there; the old woman sighed
"Oh dear, you both probably got separated again. Well I'm sure she'll come back to the village like always. Come now, lets get you inside and we'll wait for her return," she said as she walked back into her house
As Cherry followed her she glanced up at the moon again; hoping that she was right
