I edited this because it seemed horrible in my opinion. So here ya go!
Chapter One
The Earth user awoke slowly and took a look at her surroundings, forgetting where she was. When she had been dreaming, she had heard explosions, screams, and cries of terror. She had seen the carnage, and then felt immense pain. And after seeing a white light, she had felt the scratch of sand.
But as she looked around, she saw beige colored walls, white sheets, and her twin sister on a hospital bed beside hers. That's right, she thought, I'm in a hospital, and Emily is here as well. But who had taken her there? Did that mean her dream was real?
"Emily-nee-chan, wake up. Wake up! Dammit Emily-nee!!" Her twin was bloody and her once strawberry blonde hair was now brown and greasy. Her arm was bent at a weird angle and her bruises stood out against her pale skin. Worst of all, no matter how hard she tried, Katie couldn't get her sister's eyes to open.
Katie was at the point of shaking her now. It all came back to her now: She had woken up before. That was when she had noticed that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move her left leg. That, along with her other extensive injuries had infuriated her greatly. When she had first awoken, a girl about her age with a fan strapped to her back helped them inside a medical facility. She had tried to fight them, but fatigue had left her to just feebily twitch her arm.
Katie remembered her saying, "My name is Temari of the Sand. You have no need to be afraid; I'm here to help," before leaving her with some medic nin. Another wave of fatigue hit her and she had blacked out.
Leaving her thoughts, she returned to trying to awaken her sister. "Emily-nee-chan, wake the hell up before I punch you awake!" Emily had apparently heard that, because her eyes shot open and she had burst into a sweat.
"Katie, where the hell are we?" Katie shook her head.
"Where's Mom and Dad?" Once again, Katie shook her head. "Hermione-nee and Kenisha-nee?"
"Did we win?" Katie looked at Emily and shook her head gravely, tears stining the wounds on her face.
"I don't know where we are, and I don't know where Hermione and Kenisha are, and we lost. We lost. Mom and Dad... they're... They just went and..." Emily's eyes lost their faint glow and she curled up in her sheets, breaking down as everything came back to her. Katie cried with her, longing to pull the broken girl into her arms and give her some small comfort. But there was no comfort for this.
Emily and Katie stopped crying and were reduced to sniffles, holding themselves pitifully. Katie was the first to speak again. "When we get out of here, we need to find them. Hermione and Kenisha, I mean. We can't just--"
"What if they're dead too, Katie-nee?! WHAT IF THEY'RE DEAD LIKE EVERYONE ELSE? THEN WHAT?!" Emily was hysterical, but then got a crazy glint in her eye. "If we could just kill that bastard... maybe... maybe it'll all be okay... Katie-nee, we need to kill him!!"
"We can't go yet. Our wounds haven't healed yet. We can go when we're healed, but we need to see if Hermione and Kenisha are okay--Emily-nee? Dammit, wake up!!" Emily had fallen asleep listening to her twin's rambling. Katie took a moment to hit herself in the forehead for trying to explain something to her slower twin and then took a chance to reach over and shake her violently.
"Emily-nee, we can't sleep! We can't rest until that bastard that killed our clan is DEAD! You, and our cousins and I are the only ones left. We've got to think. Then we can kill him." The door opened and Temari walked in, I recognized her by her sandy blonde pig-tails and that large black fan.
"Who the hell are you?" Emily said. Temari held her hands up.
"You can't expect a kunoichi to resist eavesdropping on a couple of newcomers with no history, could you? One: Who are your other cousins? Two: What happened to you guys? I want answers." Temari put her hands on her hips and tapped her foot on the floor.
'She acts like Hermione,' Katie thought with a laugh. Emily snickered as well.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing. You want to know?" Emily said, leaning back. Katie almost stopped her, but decided against it; the more help, the better.
Temari nodded. "Okay, it all began with our kekkei genkai..."
It was late in the afternoon, the sun was setting, and Gai had forced a certain spandex wearing ninja to go home and get some rest. He had decided to take the long way, though his dojo was on the outskirts of the village. As he passed the Hokage Monument, he spotted a small silhouette. It stumbled and then fell, creating a small cloud of dust to form.
'It must be an injured animal,' Lee thought. Being known for his sympathy with woodland creatures, he headed to the stairs on the side of the mountain and sped to the place where he thought he saw the animal. But when he got closer, he realized it was a tan girl a little younger than him. Her black/dark brown hair was plastered to her face with sweat and her breathing was soft. There was blood spattered on her navy blue clothing, and the rips exposed bruises and deep cuts in her flesh. She was also badly burned on her legs and stomach, and most of her pants were charred away, as if she had tried to jump away from the flames. He shook her a little bit, defeating his better judgement to just leave her there and get help. As he was shaking her, he noticed her headband. 'A kunoichi from the Land of Grass?'
"Umm...excuse me, are you okay?" When she didn't answer, he got scared. "Hello, my name is Rock Lee, are you injured?"
He got no answer. Lee lifted her wrist and checked her pulse. There was a faint beat, but it was slowly fading away. His eyes widened as her breathing stopped. 'What do I do,' Lee thought frantically. Then it hit him. He was taught in the Academy that if a teammate ever stops breathing you have to administrate CPR.
"Please do not hit me when you awake." He held her nose and took a deep breath, and then he breathed into her and pushed on her chest a couple times. He felt her wrist. Nothing. He tried a couple more times.
When he didn't feel anything, he looked at her face, then at the sun setting into the distant trees. 'I guess I was too late.' He had begun to get up when he heard a faint cough. Lee then set his attention yet again on the girl, who tried to get up but fell back to the ground. She cried in pain and held onto her side, which was bleeding fervently. He laughed a little and sighed, untying his bandages from his hands and letting her wrap them around her wound.
"I see that the Power of Youth agreed to let you live. For that, I am glad." He smiled softly, the glint from his teeth slightly blinding the poor girl; she blinked rapidly and sat up with the help of Lee.
The girl coughed again and said faintly, "T-Thank you, I don't know how--" She was stopped when Lee put a hand on her lips. Her eyes burned with anger and she reached her hand up to smack his hand away, but she was too weak. He put his hand down and held her shoulders, lest she fell backward.
"Do not talk, you need rest. And do not worry, I am not going to leave you." The girl shook her head.
"No...I need help. My name is Kimochi...Kenisha, and my clan was... My clan was..." Kenisha furrowed her brows and tried to remember. Lee waited patiently; having dealt with Naruto for most of his Genin days, he knew that it would be a minute. But she didn't look stupid to him. She looked hurt. Apparently, she had struck the gold mine, because fat tears rolled down her cheeks as she whimpered, reaching out weakly toward the North East. "N-no... no!" She wobbled and got a tired look in her eyes as she reached up to wipe them. She looked back at Lee and turned away quickly. "N-no, I can't show weakness... not to the enemy..."
"You need rest and recovery before you can show strength to me," Lee said, a little hurt that she thought him an enemy. "And before that even, you must let me take you to a medical facility at once." Kenisha nodded and sighed, falling backward and hitting her head on the rock. Her tears did not stop as he lifted her onto his back and made his way to the Konoha Hospital.
Hermione was limping inside a barrier of stone, obviously pissed. Her outfit was covered in her enemies' blood and she wanted out to get the last of them. She had had her fill of crying over loved ones and wanted to bust out and slice the guards of her cell to bits. But she couldn't access her Chakra, which scared her.
"Hey!! You let me out of here right now!!" she yelled to the small window in front of her. Her call was answered with a slash of a sword, inches from her face. She stumbled back and collapsed on the floor, glaring up at the glinting death stick in the window.
"Shut your mouth, wench! You're here as a captive for the Tsuchikage, and he is the one that shall answer your question if he sees fit. Open your mouth again and the sword is going through you it!!" The guard walked away from the window and returned to his rounds.
"The Tsuchikage... yeah right. I'm the eldest: he only wants my secrets. I need to get out of here." She got shakily up to her feet and looked to her other window, which showed her tall stone buildings and mountains in the distance. If only she could get outside! Then she could summon her boss eagle and fly out of there, and possibly save some of her clan that hadn't died yet... maybe even her cousins. "Are you all alright? I wonder.."
"Hey you, I said SHUT UP!" A kunai flew into the cell and struck her in the shoulder, causing her to bite her lip to hold back a scream. When the shadow she knew was the guard walked away, she pulled the kunai out and ripped her sleeve to bandage the wound.
'Damn, service is less than satisfactory,' Hermione thought. Her thoughts were interrupted by a strong wind and the swish of a cloak. 'I didn't create that wind...'
"Kimochi Hermione, you are now a part of our organization." She turned around only to have enough time to distinguish the pattern on the cloak: Red clouds.
