"Hey hun." My mother greeted. "We have something to tell you." She said still smiling.
"What?" I snapped.
"We're moving to Suna."
"What?!" I yelled.
"Yes, dear. We're moving to Suna. Today. We meant to tell you yesterday, but you weren't around." My father said standing behind my mother. He was also smiling. It was creepy.
"Your stuff is all packed. You're going to go today and we'll follow you tomorrow. You're going to be staying with the Kazekage and his family." My mother smiled at me and motioned for me to go outside in the carriage that just pulled up. I started to walk towards the door grumbling. "Have fun dear!" my mother waved, still smiling.
"They're not coming." I mumbled to myself as I walked out the door. "They're abandoning me with some stupid family."
In Suna
The Kazekage had called his three children to meet him. This was strange because they rarely ever saw their father.
"Tomorrow we will be having a guest." He started looking at his three children. "She will be staying with us for some time. As Kazekage I made a deal with the Tsumo family to ensure that their bloodline limit will not destroy us." He said.
"What's her name, if I may ask?" his oldest and only daughter asked.
"Ayaka. Ayaka Tsumo. You may leave."
His three children left. They were slightly confused as to why some new stranger was coming to live with them. Well only two of his children were. The third, and youngest could care less.
In The Carriage
I leaned against the side of it my hoodie pulled far over my head. I wore gloves that were of leathery material and went all the way up to a little past my elbows. My Tetsugin was tightly wound over my arm and my arm blades were snapped tightly all hidden beneath my long black hoodie. As we neared Suna the temperature went up and I soon realized I may not be able to wear my hoodie anymore. i I will find a way around that. /i I thought. I had stayed up all night. I was restless and irritable. We got to Suna and I was taken, by carriage to the Kazekage's place. It was huge. A mansion.
"Great. Their bloody freaking rich." I hissed stepping out of the carriage into the blasted sunlight. The guy driving the carriage looked at me and gasped at how ghostly pale I was. "Stop staring before I tear your eyes out." I growled.
He widened his eyes nodded and drove off. I walked up to the door, my stuff having been sent earlier. It was all black so it didn't really matter. I knocked on the door and a servant person opened it.
"Who may I ask are you?"
"An assassin. I just came by to see if the Kazekage was home so I could kill him." I snapped angrily. The butler looked absolutely horrified. "I'm Ayaka Tsumo you dimwitted nutcase!" I shouted. The butler seemed to realize I wasn't being serious about the first part and let me enter looking at me wearily. He still hadn't seen my face or what I looked like so he was cautious.
"I will be right back with the Kazekage and his family." He said and bowed before scurrying off.
"Stupid dimwitted imbecile." I muttered dropping my bad with all my stuff on the ground next to me.
Moments later the Kazekage and three others walked down the stairs. There were two males and one female. I sighed and just stood there with my arms crossed.
"I take it you are Miss Ayaka Tsumo?" the Kazekage asked.
"Yeah. That's me." I said.
He held out his hand. "I am the Kazekage of Suna. Welcome."
For a minute I just stared at his hand but I slowly reached out mine and it came out of the sleeve. I shook his bare hand with my gloved one. The girl and older boy looked at my glove interested. I quickly put my hand back in my sleeve and crossed my arms. I glanced over at his children.
The oldest was the girl. She had dark, green eyes. Her hair was sandy blonde, pulled into four spiky ponytails on her head. Two at the top, and two beneath them, at the back. Her clothing consisted of a lavender dress which ended just in the center of her thighs and it revealed her shoulders, which were covered by a fishnet shirt underneath. Also, a pair of fishnet shorts, the left leg going further down than the other, and on her right ankle to center of her shin she wore some fishnet. On her back was a large, folded fan.
The middle was the taller male. He was the tallest. Purple markings were painted on his face, darkening around his lips and eyes. He wore a black outfit which looked like he had cat ears. I'd have to insult it later. There was also some sort of puppet wrapped tightly onto his back.
The shortest... he was a bit taller than me... he caught my attention. His hair was a dark blood/ maroon color. He had a slightly pale complexion, but darker than me. My attention was drawn to his eyes, thick, black lines surrounded them. i Must be insomnia... /i I concluded. The color of his eyes saw sea foam green a very beautiful shade of it I might add. Peeling my eyes from his eyes I took in the rest of him. He wore a black tee-shirt, with fishnet underneath, which continued a little further on from his sleeves end. He also wore black pants, which ended in the center of his shin. Bandages following from them, all the way to the top of his black sandals. A white sash was tied around his waist, going up and around his right shoulder, and falling in-between his legs at the front and the back, since it was doubled over. A gourd of who knows what was tied to his back. A leather strap holding it there.
I looked around and noticed the Kazekage was gone.
"I'm Temari." The girl said. "These are my brothers'. Kankuro." She pointed to the tall one "and this is-"
"Sabaku no Gaara." The short one said. I nodded at them.
"I'm Ayaka. Obviously." I said.
"Why can't we see what you look like?" Kankuro asked stepping towards me. I backed up a step.
"Because." I answered shortly.
"C'mon you can' be that bad." He said.
"Kankuro stop she said no. She's our guest and she just got here. Are you stupid?!" she yelled hitting him upside the head.
"Ow. I was just wondering jeez." He mumbled rubbing the back of his head.
My eyes flashed over to Gaara and he was glaring at me. I glared right back though he couldn't see because my eyes were shielded.
"Uhm, excuse me, I don't mean to be rude but if you could stop bickering for just one second long enough to show me where I'll be staying I'll be glad to get out of your way and then you can continue." I said blatantly.
Temari and Kankuro just stared at me.
"She's rude isn't she." Kankuro said. Temari hit him in the head again.
"Don't mind him. He's always like this. C'mon. I'll show you." She said.
I picked up my bad, like a duffel bag and walked past everyone. But as I passed Kankuro he yanked down my hood showing how pale I was. My hair which was folded neatly in a bun and held because of the hood fell out and unfolded flowing down my back. My bangs which were chin length covered my eyes but I dropped my bag and whirled around pinning him to the door.
"I suggest you don't ever touch me or my stuff again." I hissed. He saw the deep blue of my eyes and nodded. I felt the fear and surprise radiating from him. I didn't care as long as he didn't touch me.
"Sorry. Sorry..." he mumbled. I backed away from him and quickly pulled my hood up over my head again covering my eyes.
"Can you show me where I'll be staying now?" I asked Temari. She nodded and continued to lead me to my room on the second floor. When we got there she opened the door for me.
"Sorry, it's bland." She said,
"It's fine. I can fix it up. I am an artist after all." I smirked, not that she could see.
"Question."
"Hm?"
"Why'd you do that to Kankuro?"
"I hate it when people touch me or my things." I said shortly. I set my bag down on the bed and took out my black and red paint.
"What're you doing?" she asked.
"Redecorating." I said.
"Ok. Have fun." Temari said and left.
I grabbed two paintbrushes. I dipped one in black paint and started to paint my walls. In about two hours the black was dry. I grinned and dipped the second paintbrush in the blood red paint. I pulled back my arm and did splatter paint making the walls look blood splattered. When I was done with that I tore the curtains from the window and threw them away. I replaced them with my black curtains. I also tore the sheets and blankets from the bed and replaced them with my own black and red bedspread. I looked around the room once more and sighed contentedly. A knock on my door jerked me out of my calm-ness and I glared at the door.
"What?" I snapped.
"Uhm...it's time for- whoa!" Temari breathed walking into my room. She looked around my room and saw how...black it was. "Wow, I guess you really like the color black." She said.
"Yeah. So what were you saying before you decided to point out what color I like?" I asked sitting on my bed which had a black teddy bear with red stitches on it.
"It's dinner. I thought you'd like to know." She said walking back towards my door. I just sat on my bed staring at her. "Are you coming?" she asked.
"Nope. I'm not hungry." I said. She nodded fine.
I could taste the doubt in the room that she'd left behind.
"Damnit! That's it! No one comes into my room anymore! They leave their nasty tastes in it!" I grumbled to myself.
An hour later the sun started to set. I locked my door and slipped out of my room through the window. The cool night breeze greeted me and I was glad to be out of that stuffy house. The thoughts and fear of everyone inside that house was irritating. Silently I ran across the ground of the mansion and found some sort of training grounds. I silently took off my hoodie and threw it to the ground unaware of the sea foam green eyes watching me. I had on a Goth Hello Kitty tank top with fishnet over it. I undid my belt and slid off my pants and underneath I had on Goth Hello Kitty shorts. I threw my pants with my hoodie and I made about twenty earth clones.
"Attack me..." I said to them.
They nodded and jumped at me all at once. I jumped into the air and did a spin kick knocking down about four clones. A few hid and some more attacked me. I went into some hand seals the last one being Tiger.
"Water Element; Water Dragon Bullet." I whispered.
A few bullets in the shape of dragons take shape though there was no water around. I pointed at some of my clones and without a word the water shot at them going straight through them.
"Damnit." I sighed. "Still not enough momentum. They're supposed to fly backwards and crumbled into nothingness." I shook my head and delivered a round house kick to a clone who tried to attack me.
The sea foam eyes watched as I continued to make and destroy clones as if it was nothing to me. When the sun started to come up I quickly slipped on my hoodie and pants. I ran back to the house and slipped into my room quietly closing the window.
