Moriko grabbed a small bag that closed when you pulled the two ends of rope that went over each shoulder. She grabbed the picture frame of her family that was beside her bed, notebooks, pens, a couple of tshirts, shorts, and a pair of black gomushin (similar to those chinese traditional shoes that cover all your toes, but leaves the middle of your foot bare; slip ons). She ripped a deep green cloak off of her coathanger and slipped it on. Putting her bag on, shewent into the kitchen for her parents when she found that they were gone. The blood on the floor was still there, a dark crimson and Moriko looked away as soon as her head filled with vivid images from the night before.
On the kitchen countertop, there was an envelope.
Curious, she opened it and recognized Kakashi's scrawl.
Hey Moriko. I know you'll find this when you get back and that you might be somewhat upset about your parents being gone. Don't worry. You were so tired last night, I buried them after you got home. You might want to pay them a visit, so if you do, you'll find the mark at the red gates. Burn this after you read it and get out of the house as soon as possible. ANBU will come back to burn the place to the ground to get rid of any evidence.
Keep safe. H.K
Moriko crumpled the letter and burned it in her hands. She blew the ashes away and smiled inwardly. Thanks Kakashi. She dashed out the door to find herself staring straight into the face of four ANBU members. Her brain recognized who they were in a split second and she let out a ferocious growl. She felt a strange rage, a strange sense of protectiveness, of justice that overwhelmed her thoughts and mind. As she succumbed to all the new feelings, purple chakra leaked out and formed the frame of a wolf around her. Her tail was nearly a half times longer than her body. Moriko went down on all fours and snarled. The smell of raw, wild, untamed chakra reached the ANBU's noses and they stiffened.
The chakra that enveloped Moriko was becoming thicker – only her eyes remained visible, and they were turning into a topaz colour. The chakra caused her hands to look like paws, her nose to look like a muzzle, her skin to look like fur. And she was nearly as big as a polar bear.
The ANBU came all at once. Snarling, she met them head-on. Their katanas couldn't pierce through her thick chakra layer and, on physical contact, the result was a serious burn. Sharp teeth and claws were the only weapons Moriko had, but they were more than enough. None of the ANBU were quick enough to perform a technique that could eliminate a chakra-coated person.
My parents didn't deserve to die! They were normal people and they had their own lives! Teme ... and now you want to obliterate them off the face of the earth and pretend that they never existed! Fat chance that'll happen! All of you ... work for the Hokage! You're supposed to work for the good of the village! Care about what others think and feel for once instead of just mindlessly following orders!
The last thing those four ANBU members ever heard were the enraged snarls of the flamed wolf, and those thoughts ringing through their heads.
