A/N: When I first posted this chapter, there was no authors note or disclaimer so I had to go back and fix it. Anyway, I hope you all like my first chapter and I will start working on the next as soon as I possibly can!

Chapter 1

Akahana was an adorable little girl growing up. Her hair was a soft long gold blond and trailed down her back as she grew older. Her sky blue eyes always shone a sparkle but that sparkle seemed to fade as the tragedies in her life took place. Her parents died when she was four. She grew ill as she got older, her hair began to fall out and was soon diagnosed with cancer. Although it was several years, she recovered from the illness at the age of eight. Her short golden hair growing long once again, flowing across her natural born tan skin.

Three months after turning twelve the young girls brother, Deidara, left the village and joined a group of missing nin. She felt as though she had nothing left of her life any longer. The day her brother left she made a promise to someday leave the village and take on the hunt to find her brother and join him once again.

Akahana was seventeen years old now. Still residing in the Village Hidden in the Stones, she discovered that she possessed the same Kekke Genkai as Faung Genke. She came to learn about her newly found bloodline limit when her and her team left for a mission and encountered a group of Leaf shinobi disguised as missing nin.

...

"Who wants to have a little spar when we get back to the village?" Souta asked.

Souta was a sixteen year old chunin. His short light brown hair spiked out in all directions possible. He had eyes that could only remind a person of unburnt coal. They always seemed to contain a smile somewhere within them, even when he was upset. His skin was quite tan like Akahana's herself.

She had left the village in a team of four. Two jounin ranking ninja and two chunin. Rija and herself were the two jounin of the squad. Rija was a quite tall man with rusty looking hair that competed very well against Akahana's in length. He had many scars across his limbs. The new white skin contrasting against the dark sun-tanned skin.

Souta and Ai were the two chunin of the group. Ai was a very shy girl. She did not talk much unless it was necessary. When she did talk she would usually blush and fidget with her fingers (much like a well known kunoichi from the Hidden Leaf Village). She had short and spiky bright purple hair and soft snow white skin. She could pass as a porcelain doll from how fragile she looked.

There mission was to retrieve a scroll that had been stolen away from the Stone Village. The group had already defeated the ninja and were on their way back to the Hidden Stone Village.

"You're kidding right? We are not even done with our current mission and you want to have a spar right after we get back?" Akahana's face showed nothing but worry in her expression. "Either you have infinite chakra or you seriously got some brain damage during our mission. I already ruled out the first one though."

"But Akahana-chaaaan! I don't think Ai-chan or Rija-san will fight me..." when Souta turned his head back to look at Akahana she had sped past him and up beside Ai.

She turned her head back and spoke, "And you think I will fight you? I don't think I would waste my time on you...I'd kick your ass." She turned her head back ahead of her and stifled a laugh at his fuming.

"You cannot! I have amazing skill! You would not last a minute fighting me," as he finished the corners of his lips pulled up into a devious smile.

"Do you forget your rank. I am a jounin and there is a reason why I am and you are not yet."

Rija could not but let out a snicker of his own over their childish babbling. "You both understand that you sound like some hot headed genin, right?"

They both glared back at Rija and he twiddled his fingers under their gaze. A blush came upon his face as Akahana stopped glaring and laughed at the fact that Rija was right, "I know, Rija-san."

Souta continued glaring at Rija until he noticed the red tint that heated up his cheeks, "Are you blushing?"

Rija's eye brows pulled together and his face became as red as a cherry, "OF COURSE NOT! IT IS THE HEAT!"

Souta rolled his eyes and they all continued on their way.

They were about three days away from the Stone Village and were passing along the edges of the fire country. They had sat up camp and began searching for firewood.

"I just thought of something!" Everyone jerked there head toward Souta waiting for an explanation, "It is quite cold tonight and since we men have large body masses, it is only fitting that we keep these lovely ladies warm!"

Akahana and Ai stared at him in disbelief, "You nasty pervert! I am far to old for you and you have no chance with Ai! Just give it up!"

"Well Rija over here seems to be around the appropriate age for you, Akahana-san!"

Rija's head popped up revealing his deeply tinted cheeks, "W-what? Um...Y-you make a p-point..."

Before they knew it Akahana had slammed her foot against the metal forehead protect wrapped around the waist of Rija, sending him flying several feet and into a tree. Souta sat before the fire stunned at what had just happened but suddenly Ai had appeared before him, focusing her chakra to her finger. She then flicked his forehead, knocking him in the exact same direction of Rija.

"I can't believe you would agree with him Rija! What is wrong with you? Did you receive brain damage as well during our mission?" Akahana went back and pulled aside part of her sleeping bag and crawling inside. Ai quickly did the same and the two men were left piled on one another.

Rija shoved Souta aside and climbed into his own sleeping back. Souta stood and stared at him then spoke, "You got me into to trouble as well. If you didn't agree I wouldn't have this red mark on my head."

"Do you always blame your comrades for your own doings?"

Souta just shook his head and walked over to the now sleeping Ai. Her face was quite peaceful and innocent when she was not angry or shy. "I was just kidding though, Rija-san. I only hope she forgets about it and we can head on our way home tomorrow morning like we did today. I don't want to spend a trip filled with hateful glares."

"Hn..." was Rija's only response before the shadowy tongues of sleep took him under.

The next morning they continued their journey back to Iwagakure. Neither of the male ninja had spoken a word since this morning after the lecture Akahana had given them.

"You're not still mad at us are you, Akahana-kun?" Souta had been apologizing for the past hour of their traveling.

"Don't. It is -san not -kun...And for your information, yes I am still mad. It is hard to believe a sixteen year old such as yourself is containing such vulgar thoughts." Akahana had whipped her head back to glare at the both of them. "And as for you, Rija. No scratch that. Both of you are shinobi and are currently on a mission. You should not be thinking thoughts like that. It is inappropriate. If your minds lie that far in the gutter than please keep it to yourself and go rent a porn magazine or something to entertain yourself. Do not come looking to me or Ai to satisfy your arousal."

"H-hai," both males said and unison.

Both men knew that if they said another word during any of the trip that it might just set her off.

Akahana was watching ahead of herself, concentrating on any nearby enemies. Just about two seconds later she noticed a shadow moving in the trees up ahead. She immediately stopped and was almost knocked off the branch when Souta's body mass crashed into hers. She focused chakra to the bottom of he feet hanging upside down from the tree. She walked around the branch until she was right side up once again.

"I'm so sorry, Akahana-san. I was not pay-" He was interrupted by her hand covering his mouth as the index finger of her other hand rose to her lips.

She spoke in a low whisper, "There is a chakra up ahead. I will go in first."

Souta nodded and called the other two shinobi over to him while Akahana sped off in the direction of the chakra.

When Akahana reached a small clearing she noticed two ninja dressed in black cloaks with red clouds. She did not give the shorter man a second glance as her gaze remained on the taller blond man next to him. They both seemed to be caring a man on their shoulder. Akahana dropped down to the ground and walked our from the shadows of the trees.

"N-nii-san?" She hesitated before taking another step.

Deidara lefted his gaze to hers. "Do I know you?"

The shorter man spoke in a rough voice, "You have a sister, Deidara?"

Akahana's posture grew stiff as she realized that these men were imposters. She jumped forward pulling a kunai out and making a stab for the man who was transformed as Deidara. He quickly sprung himself up off the ground and threw three shuriken in her direction. She deflected them easily with her kunai and ran toward his landing point but before his landing was made, he released his transformation and the eyes of a white Byakugan glared at her. The veins by his eyes bulged out as soon as he landed on the ground. When her gaze met his she came to a stop and dropped the kunai that was in her right hand. Her eyes hazed over with grey the blue disappearing little by little. She soon fell on the ground screaming in agony at the imaginary burning fire taking hold of her eyes. Neji stared down at her through his Byakugan noticing how all her chakra was flowing up toward her eyes.

A minute later her team arrived taking note of the scenery. Souta and Ai ran over to the still screaming Akahana. Ai began performing medical ninjutsu but nothing happened.

Another minute passed and her screams died down. She cracked her eyes open hearing the mumbling of Ai, "Its alright...your fine." Akahana opened her eyes all the way and took notice of the surrounding peoples chakra flow. As soon as she looked at Souta in the eyes he gasped when he saw her own eyes.

"Y-your eyes...they are not the same..." He waved over the staring Rija, who quickly shook his head as if shaking the thoughts away. "Look at her eyes, Rija-san."

Ai pulled back from her hug and looked down at Akahana's eyes as well. They all stared in disbelief. Neji could not help but wonder what all the fuss was about. His team released their transformation as well and followed Neji over to the group of Stone ninja.

"W-what the...?" Neji's eyes grew wide as saw the eyes of Akahana looking up at him. Veins popping out from the sides of her eyes. "Thats...the Byakugan. How did she...?"

"It is her bloodline limit...," Rija answered in a grave tone. "This is the first I have ever seen of it but she was born with that Kekke Genkai."

Souta and Ai's mouth hung open in disbelief. Neji and the other three Leaf ninja seemed to be confused. "What are you talking about?" The older man of the leaf shinobi asked,

"Years ago the Genke clan gave birth to a boy with a bloodline limit that allowed him to copy any Kekke Genkai he so desired but at a cost..."

"What was the cost?"

"Five years of his life span was taken away from him for each bloodline limit copied. The Kekke Genke was known as Mira. Meaning 'mirror'" He looked up at the lead shinobi, "It was named that because of the way that it copied another bloodline limit. When the Kekke Genkai came directly face to face with another its would be like a mirror. The Kekke Genkai of the opposing person was mirrored on to the user of Mira."

Neji quickly spoke before anyone else could, "Then we cannot allow such a dangerous power to live. We have to kill her."

Gai looked down at Neji in disbelief, "That is not our decision Neji. We will leave and let their village do with her what they will. She is not our responsibility."

Rija shot Gai a glance of thanks before picking the girl up. The Stone ninja sped off into the distance.

She could see a flickering on the other side of her eye lids. She cracked her eyes open and watched as the campfire danced before her eyes. Its warm pressing through the surrounding air and against the sleeping bag. She sighed as the feeling relaxed her.

"They may lock you up..." Akahana rose her now sky blue orbs to the jade green of Rija's.

"I know...but there is nothing I can do about it..." Her eyes traveled up the the star-filled midnight sky. Her mind could not help but connect the dots to create a picture. A smile crossed her face as she had created a rabbit from the stars.

"Your right. Although, are you really willing to just let them do that?"

"Valid point...I will not be taken in so easily. You know me, I don't go out without a fight."

"They will kill you if necessary. You realize that, right?" She sighed and looked back into his jade eyes. She rose from her sleeping bag and walked around the fire to sit next to him. "Go..."

"What?" Her mouth hung open, confusion written on her face.

"If we take you back to the village, they will lock you up or worse..." He couldn't even think about what would happen to her. She wrapped her arms around him in a thankful hug.

When she let go she lifted her gaze back up to his, "Thank you Rija-san. Not just for this, but for everything you have done for me. The next time we meet...I'm afraid it will not be a friendly get together..."

"I understand. So you will choose to chase after your brother after all?"

"Hai..." She stood up, but before leaving she bent forward and pecked him on the cheek. He smiled even though it was not a happy one, it was still a smile.

Right after waving back at him, she vanished from sight. Leaving the fire and Rija waving back.
