(15 years old, Chunnin)
A 15-year-old girl walked down the main road in Konoha. It was that day again. She doesn't remember anymore who died… but it's the day someone close to her died. So she wouldn't smile or even look at anyone. Just her luck she had a mission. But then again, it would help get her away from the village for even a little while.
Hokage's office
"We… have been waiting here for 3 HOURES! AND HE IS NOT HERE!?" Yelled a disgruntled pink sister (Naru was adopted by the Haruno's but her mane is Naru Uzumaki).
"Sensei no baka." Naru sighed.
They were about to give up and look for him when there was a 'POOF' followed by a chair closely missing his head.
"WHAT THE HELL KEPT YOU!? THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MISSION! NOT A CRAPY D-RANK!" Tsunade yelled affectively hurting Naru's sensitive ears.
"What is the mission Hokage-sama?" Sakura asked.
"This team was specifically requested. Don't ask my why though. This person has never been here before in her life." Tsunade commented. "You are to escort Aku Kitsune-san back to her village; she is an important piece keeper that could be a possible target. Aku-san you can come in now."
They looked at the door expecting an elderly woman with an air of confidence. Not the person who poked her head through the door. It was a girl about 3 years younger than the teens, she seemed timid and she had chakra but it was well hidden so they thought it was basically nothing there. She wore a crimson kimono with a golden outline; it had golden sakura flowers and a moon that shined on a golden fox with wings watching the moon. Her golden yellow hair had five inches of crimson red hair ran past her feet and tied back in a high pony tail. Her blue eyes identical to Naru's but had blood red slits in them.
"O-ohiyo, arigato for your assistance. I-I am Aku Kitsune, it is a pleasure to mete you." She said bowing slightly.
Naru looked at her. She seemed… familiar.
"Hay why would you have a name that means evil when you seem so kind? I mean I don't make sense." Sakura pointed out.
Aku let a small smile show her rather large fangs that shinned. "I-it is amazing what you can hide in this world. N-ne, N-naru-sama."
"Ha? 'Sama'? Why call me that?" Naru asked well and truly confused.
Aku's smile dropped "You… don't remember… do you?" Aku said tears gathering in her eyes, 'Mother and Father got killed for my older sister and SHE CAN'T REMEMBER!?' She pulled her lips back into a snarl. "Why… WHY CAN'T YOU REMEMBER!?" She yelled before she began to cry covering her face.
"I don't know. I don't remember anything from before I was 6 years old." Naru said sad that someone she didn't know was yelling at her.
"Now, now Aku-hime." Came a voice that seemed around seventeen, he walked in. Sakura almost fell for him. He had black and silver gloves that almost reached his elbows. He wore a traditional shinobi uniform with a head band with a fox wand wolf facing each other printed on his glove as a plate. He also had silver hair that reached his mid-back that had been tied into a tight plate that emphasised his delicate orange eyes. "Besides, we need to get going before Kit-sama throws a hissy fit. –Aku giggles and the boy blushed—And W still need to get the information to the council."
"I-I s-suppose you are right. O-oh. sorry for my out burst and this i-is H-haru Ookomi-kun. He is my personal body guard. W-we are from a h-hidden village, but a war has been started with another village." She said showing the same headband Haru wore around her neck. "We are c-currently trying to help with the losses. W-which brings me to something. D-do you think it would be possible to have a couple of medic's come with us? It would be better if they had knowledge in poisons."
Tsunade looked at her only to see her playing with her fingers. "Why is it so needed if your village is a hidden village?"
"A-ano. Well, our village is made up of those that have natural gifts. But there has been none born or qualified. There are none willing to teach us. I-I am the only one capable of medic and I'm only s-slightly qualified i-in poison."
"If you're the only qualified medic why are you here?" Asked Naru, who got a nod of agreement from Sakura and a grunt from Tsunade.
"Well," Haru started, "she is also the best person for this job. Her brother is the prince of our village so he couldn't come to discus the treaty."
"A-ano, I-I think we should be g-going s-soon. It will take 8 d-days to get to the hidden village of bacomo." Aku pointed out.
"Yes, Aku-san is right. And Sakura would you mind helping with the poison? I believe if you go you could also help some people learn the basics on being medics and for poisons." Tsunade asked (--cough, cough-- ordered nicely --cough, cough--).
"Hai." Sakura and Naru said.
"Oh and remember to fill Sai and Kakashi on the mission…? Seeming as he went looking for Sai." Tsunade asked.
"Hai, Ho-" The girls didn't get to finish.
Because a cretin one eyed ninja came with a "Yo" and he had Sai by the colour with the lazy moron asleep. (He's lazy in my story if he can help it!!)
"Well you 2. These 2 people here are our clients and you are going to be on a month, maybe 2, long mission escorting them back to the hidden village of, bacomo… is that right –Aku and Haru nodded—right. It should take around 8 day if the other ninja don't attack. This is an A rank mission. Now you will be leaving in an hour."
"Hai." They all said before leaving.
The village gate
Sakura made her way to the gate. She expected to be the first one there but as she approached she noticed that 2 people were already there. As she got closer she recognise them… but they had changed there clothes and had weapons.
"A-aku-sama, H-haru-san? Why did you change your clothes?" A wide eyed cherry blossom asked.
Aku moved her head to her right, slowly opening her eyes. Where as they were once a sky-blue, they were now red with black cat like pupils with think blue and silver outline. Her new clothes were of a similar design to her others, except that she worse a kimono that reached loosely around mid thi (if you could tell me how to spell it I'll change it but I don't know how to), it had slits that reached up a few inches where she wore crimson bandages down the length of her thi. Here ninja boots reached her knees with 3 buckles going up the out side of the boots. Her top half had a sash that tied of from her hips to under her breasts emphasizing the DD-cups where as before they were hidden. Her sleeves cut of at her shoulders but had a bell sleeve tied just above her elbows covering her hands. Her head band tied on her head holding up her fringe revelling a scare that travailed the right side of her face along with a loosely bandaged eye showing a slip of the clouded crimson eye. Her long hair was tied into 2 buns one above the other with Japanese's chop sticks holding then in place.
"H-hallo Sakura-san. Y-you're here earlier than I-I though you would b-be."
"Hn, anyway pinkie, if your wondering' 'bout the changes it's what we wear in battle conditions and missions that are potently dangerous." Answered Sakura's question.
She had only just looked at him. Her eyes widened he was whore a black t-shirt with the wolf design on his back black trousers (trousers or pants, depending on where ya com from) that reached mid calf with silver shinobi sandals and blood covered bandages. He wore a head band this time that had a silver cloth wrapped around it. His eyes were now gold and had no pupils.
"Yo" Came a lazy voice followed by a running blond with a bored boy walking from the forest mumbling something or other but would say 'pens' every now and again.
As they walked Sakura couldn't stand it anymore. "Ano, Haru-san, why do you have bandages with blood stains on? It very unhealthy and ill-advised." Sakura pointed out with a small cringe.
"Well, Sakura, it is a costume to have something that belongs to family member upon their death. These bandages are from my father how died 10 years ago along with Aku-hime's parents. But unlike most, her family, including her, were targeted. So she and her family sustained many angers. You see those boots and the bandages she has on?" Sakura nodded. "Well they belonged to her father. Although she may seem timid, she has her name for a reason. We all do. We are given our names at birth so our families never have the same name in a row."
"Hmm, come to think of it you 2 have strange names, Aku Kitsune and Haru Ookami, Evil Fox and Fire Wolf. Why is that?"
"Well, as I said we are given them at birth. Kit-sama's real name, and don't let him know you know, is Kitsunemaru Shinobi. And he hates it. Being called Faxfang Ninja is just wired." Haru commented pressing wired.
Aku giggle covering her smile with her hand. "But what about nee-sama is normal?"
Haru shrugged. "I grew up with the moron and he hasn't changed since he was 3 so, normal isn't in his vocabulary… but it isn't really in your either Aku-hime." He narrowly missed a well aimed kunai to his head. "KAMI-SAMA!! You may be blind in one eye but your one hell of a shot."
Aku growled narrowing her eyes… um… visible one. "Then don't say things like that unless you want to live until the end of this mission." She spoke in a stern authorities voice that had Haru cowering in fear and the others shocked from her sudden change.
"So, those bandages around you eye is for a reason." Sai stated more than asked.
Aku blushed from embarrassment and answered in her timid voice again. Only she spoke in more of a whisper without stammering. "My eye sustained serous damage in a grate war in my village. I got trapped under part of a burning building. I was under there for 5 day before they finally dug me out."
She resisted the urge to cry. She removed her head band and slowly took off her bandages. What everyone saw shocked and horrified them. She had a cut from the middle of her forehead to the bottom of her right cheek. It reviled eight threw her eye that also had s burn make ruminant by her ear… or where it should be.
"Oh... my… god…" Naru whispered.
"How old were you, exactly?" Kakashi asked with his book on the floor. (he dropped it)
"I-I was 2, my sister who went missing was 5 and my brother was 7." Aku couldn't take it. She fell onto her knees and let a ear screeching scream. But not a single tear… she promised herself to never shed a tear because that nigh the only tears she shed were for herself and she, just, would think of it as selfish. After a moment she fell asleep.
Haru sighed softly and pick her up bridal style. "Don't worry about her. Her sister is a sensitive subject. Her sister was next in line for the throne so she didn't have any time with her. And even less time with her brother and parents. So she finds it hard talking about her family. That's why I always put hummer in with Kit-sama or she will ether go unconscious or will not talk at all… very troublesome hime."
Sai, Sakura and Kakashi were spichless. But Naru… she somehow know this… But how?
