Familial Trouble

After the dreadful dinner controlling what was called 'Sharingan' was like trying to go cross eyed. It was nearly impossible to do, but also was possible too. I was not sure if it was a one time activation then shut down, but Ko and Kanae now eye me with more suspicious caution. Maybe worried my eyes are not going to help them?

We kept training rather regularly and changed to something else when it was just me and Kanae training together in the woods nearby the mist village.

We were training as mother and daughter, I would say rather content in doing the training. Until Kanae upped the challenge quite a bit to apparently bring out my sharingan and get me using it more, and control it better hopefully.

It was a smoothly going spar, really smooth and only changing slightly when we try upping the challenge at all, but things quickly changed worse and I could somehow tell there was a dangerous change occurring, but what?

As Kanae tried to strike at me with a kunai, as I was being trained with the Nuibari, because somehow Kanae found the legendary sword part of the seven swordsman, it seemed.

I am not terribly skilled at the sword, still learning how to properly wield it against an opponent who was higher skilled than myself, but considering the uses of a blade with thread was difficult. An over grown sewing needle in a way was something I needed to figure out because of how the thread seemed like something that would drag its victims along, but I do not want to drag around corpses by the sword's thread.

It took a week to figure out the thread connected to the nuibari sword itself, but it came after a while to be part of what I fight with, slight ease slowly coming around with it.

A while later, while sparring with Kanae…. Something happened to Kanae that left going home to be very dreadful and almost like I should run away, but really can't and have to head home. Ko was livid, to put it lightly, but in the actual sense he wanted nothing to do with me at all. He normally only tolerated my existence as his daughter, but after what happened to Kanae, that tolerance went out the window. I was not sure why he did not like me, but now I could assume it was because of Kanae.

I tried to explain she was defending me from people who looked like missing nin, but he did not take it at all. "You should of gotten killed by them, at least you would of done something helpful!" His bitter rage coming out at me for not being able to save Kanae.

"What did I do to deserve your ire? I am your daughter." I demand, but Ko gave me a harsher glare and seemed to spit out, "Your not my daughter! Not even from Mist, just a brat we chose as a tool." I felt my body start to shake, my voice even showing the hurt that happened.

"If your not my real family, who are you?" Yasu asks, hands wavering closer to her sword resting at her hip. For the one she thought family to smile, "By chance your family may be gone." Then she had a grip on her sword, nuibari.

Tears spilling from her dark eyes, but she kept quiet as she quickly used the sword to strike Ko down.

I never meant for Kanae to be killed, or for her to protect me from those missing nin, but I can not admit that because no one will get how hard it is for me to lose my mother, to lose someone who helped me from a young age.

I struck at Ko, yelling at him what could be seen as excuses or moving blame from myself to him, but all I remember was yelling and a lack of control, lashing at him with nuibari.

Then when I came back, either woke up from some kind of sleep or genjutsu, Ko was pierced through the chest by the nuibari, sitting in the distance for what smelt like a couple of hours, if not a day. I was gazing at the bulbous form of Ko, as the body slowly started to break down by death and the ultimate lack of human soul or life. It took some time before I left the house, and got rid of the corpse as quickly as I could.

Now there was no Ko or Kanae for family, and only Zabuza as a teammate. Miki would not be happy, but would not want anything bad to happen to her crush, at least that I can do. I left my home in search of the angry teammate, someone I mainly ever ignored for Miki to have his attention, if it ever worked.

I stopped near the training ground as soon as I sensed Zabuza's chilly chakra, always thought water nature meant peaceful and calming was a sense someone would feel. With this guy, sure I feel some calm, but its the eerie kind before someone goes for the kill. My fingers went to a containment scroll holding both Ko and Kanae's previous living occupation, being that they met eachother as anbu… or was it in training?

Anyhow, I now had the anbu attire for both of them because Ko despised containment scrolls for some odd reason, unless he had to travel extremely often. Kanae and I had a bond that could be like a real mother and daughter, or maybe sisters, because we shared many things and she would only stop when it was confined to her job; hushing it up so no one knows.

Okaasan, Kanae, and I were in the woods training out of sight. I was even getting sensitive to when the mist anbu were around or not, even though we always just called them by their animal names when they do come out in the open. Kanae told me small details about anbu, and her mask, she seemed eager for me to try everything.

Then there was the slip she made in telling where Ko's anbu attire was hidden when not in use for a while. Which, was not a detail I cared about entirely, but it was mentally tucked away for later.

After a little while, I had tried on Kanae's anbu outfit and she even looked ecstatic at how I could look like her easily, height wise and body type was similar enough to get by without concern. I could not help mentally thinking that being as scary as an anbu would be nice, at least to scare my enemies.

I hug Kanae, one of the few times I gave an affectionate gesture to her because of their status and how things were on the rather memorable C rank mission, although other c rank missions calmed it.

I want to give Yasu some harshness, but not make her impossible to connect or be sweet. And she is stuck a genin for a while, so to do some things she was trained by Kanae to hide her chakra at a pro's level and with Zabuza to be really quiet.
