No one knew her feelings, her destiny, and her point of view. Everyone saw her as an enemy…

Akayumi's whole being filled with hate at these thoughts as she lay chained up in a tent.

She didn't want to be alive, she shouldn't be alive, but she was! All because of her foolish parents! Oh, how she loathed them! They were so young, yet they thought they knew the ways of life, wrong!

Akayumi positioned her hand at an angle, so her hidden kunai slid out, she moved around putting it in just in the right spot, click! Went the handcuffs as they fell off.

Finally!

Now fully free, Yumi slowly slid out of the tent, checking to see if there was someone around; no one.

Unbeknownst to her, a shadow loomed quietly behind her, blending with the surroundings.

She was unaware of this, as it came up behind her, its hands outstretched he grabbed her and jerked her back, she longed to scream, but her mouth had become covered with a cloth.

Akayumi felt on fire, who dared touch her?!

Then out of the shadows to her front emerged someone recognizable, Ve, or the Ultimate Ninja, her father.

Green eyes met green eyes, "Akayumi, did you run into trouble I see?" Ve spoke, but he knew she couldn't answer, her mouth was enclosed, which made Ve's amusement all the more entertaining to him.

"Do I kill her now?" Came the voice of Yumi's captivator, a voice she knew but couldn't place.

Ve's eyes nearly seemed to gleam with delight at the question, "Of course".

Akayumi felt the whisk of a knife as it was about to come into contact with her flesh, but all was stopped as a bright unearthly light evolved in front of them.

There stood four figures, fierce-looking, and rage-full, the Ninja Tribunal.

"You have disobeyed us", Juto's voice boomed threateningly.

And all that was left for Akayumi to do was smirk.
