Your Unrequited Lover's Sister

Me: Oh ... dearie me. I haven't updated in months. GAHHHH! ... sorry 'bout that. I am so very verrrrry sorry. But you're not here to listen to my pathetic excuse of an apology, so I'll just get straight to YULS! It's ... a little short, and not too good though, since I haven't written in so long!

Um ... it might sound like Kasumi's a lesbian ... but she's not! I have NO intention for this to be a yuri fic. And I've forgotten to do this in practically all my fics, but ... I don't own Dead or Alive and it's characters!

The afternoon of the next day ...

Kasumi sighed. Not because she was stuck in an abandoned little shed at the outskirts of the city, and not because she was completely without food/water (well, she didn't really want to steal ... ), but ... hmm. How do you put it? She felt sorry for ditching Hitomi out on the street without explanation, and truthfully, she quite liked Hitomi. She friendly, spunky, and so ... so full of life. Life that Kasumi would never have ... well, at least she hoped she would have it again, but the chances were pretty slim. The clan wasn't just about to hand her a "Yes, we love you again now, and don't wish to kill you" letter and let her come back to her old life.

Again, Kasumi sighed. She guessed that sitting there wouldn't do any good. She would make things up with Hitomi! Oh, yes she would! Kasumi thought for a moment, and tried to think of something.

Going out to the shops or a cafe would definitely not be a good idea; her little escapade before proved it quite well. Maybe buying Hitomi something ...? Kasumi had a few euros that she had found conveniently lying around on the ground that people had dropped (technically, this wasn't stealing directly ... but Kasumi still felt quite guilty) and she could probably buy something with it.

But she could do that tomorrow or something. The lesson time was coming soon, and it'd be good enough to go to Hitomi's lessons. Luckily, no ambushes awaited her outside the shed, and Kasumi continued on her way. As usual, Kasumi marvelled at how pretty the city looked, and enjoyed her walk in peace ... right up 'till the entrance of the dojo. Right where she was met with ... MORE NINJAS. A squad of five, two scouts, one ninpo specialist, a ranger, and a blademaster.

Ugh. Kasumi was getting quite sick of the whole thing. Quickly fleeing into a back alley, the ninjas kept up a hot pursuit on the girl. Kasumi dashed and flung herself through different directions, up, down, left, right, up walls, down buildings, and doing a lot of flying through the air.

But it didn't look like they were amateurs. They seemed to be more skilled than usual; a not-so-good thing, really. Kasumi HAD to get to Hitomi's lesson; she didn't want to disappoint her even more by not showing up. With a newfound resolve, Kasumi lead her pursuers into a quiet alley near a few residential areas, close to the dojo. It looked like it was a rubbish dump area; exactly the place she needed.

Kasumi got herself cornered nicely in the alleyway, out of sight of people passing by. The ninja got into a tactical formation, assessing the situation, and calculating their next moves. The kunoichi, however, put on a calm and collected face, and slid into her signature stance, and released some of her ki to aid in battle.

Suddenly, two of the ninja lunged forward and attempted to perform a scissor slash; Kasumi teleported out of the way, using her trademark Sakura Madoi ninpo, and delivered powerful, horizontal kick to the two, and smashed them into the wall, knocking them unconscious. The ranger ninja attempted to corner Kasumi by using a deadly multi-arrow technique, though it was quickly rendered useless when Kasumi utilised her Sakura Clone ninpo, and she effectively knocked him out by reappearing behind him, and striking a pressure point. The blademaster then sprang towards Kasumi, the ninpo specialist charging a technique, but Kasumi knew better than to leave it that way.

Flipping backwards, Kasumi hastily used her Hanagasumi ninpo, which sent a petal-filled breeze of air towards the ninja, which made them drop to their knees, though the ninpo specialist quickly recovered. However, the blademaster did not, and Kasumi blasted forward and with a radiant flash of pink light and sakura petals, Oboro'd the blademaster, and completely decimating him.

As for the ninpo specialist ... he was not bad. But still no match for Kasumi. The previous technique had left him weak, and Kasumi took the chance to use a favourite technique. Oboro, but improved. The kunoichi first knocked him into the air with a backflip, teleported to a wall and sliced through him with Oboro, and landed on another wall, and kept on repeating, slicing again and again, in a crazed flurry of pink light and petals, whittling the ninpo specialist's strength, until Kasumi finally defeated him with a palm strike.

She teleported back onto the ground with some amount of satisfaction. Now to get to the lesson ... but ... wait ... was that person ... just watching the entire thing?

Kasumi's eyes opened in shock.

Hitomi ... out of all the people in the world, had just witnessed Kasumi do all that ninja-y stuff.

"Um ... did you just see that?"

"Yeah. All of it, actually."

"Oh. I see."

Me: Yay! I did it! It's short, but anyways! I did it! I updated!
