Amaya walks home from the training with her team at a stroll's pace. Amaya was really sore in places she never thought could be sore. Why oh why did she have to bring up the idea of sparring blindfolded?
She takes the back alleyway to her house because it is the fastest way. She has her hands in her pockets when she hears small sobs. Amaya looks up to see a small boy, maybe around 6-7 years old, squatting down and crying. Amaya sighs, rolls her eyes and walks over to him. She squats down in front of him. "Hey there." She smiles softly at the boy. The boy looks up through tear filled eyes while whimpering. "Why would a cute little boy like yourself be crying on a beautiful day like this?" The boy sniffs and holds up his palms to her. Amaya examines them. 'Is that all? He's crying because his hands and knees are bloody because he fell?' Amaya smiles again and holds his hands in hers and heals them, emitting a bright greenish glow. The boy watches in awe as his hands heal completely. "See? All better, nothing to cry about." Amaya says. The boy looks down then abruptly sits on his but and points to his bloodied knees. Amaya chuckles at his facial expression. "Alright." Amaya heals his knees then helps the boy to his feet. "What's your name?"
"H-Haru."
"Hello Haru-kun, my name is Amaya. Where are your parents?"
"I don't have any. I live in the orphanage."
"The orphanage?" Amaya repeats surprised. "Isn't that all the way across the village?" Haru nods his head glumly. "Then what are you doing all the way over here?"
"I was running away…" he mumbles.
"Why would you do that?"
"Some of the older kids were picking on me." He mumbles again.
"Why were they picking on you?"
"I have two different color eyes." Amaya crouches down and tilts Haru's head up by his chin. The boy blushes as she stares into his eyes. She hadn't even noticed that one was a sapphire color while the other was a crimson, almost black color. Amaya smiles.
"Wanna know why they were making fun of you? They're jealous."
"Jealous?"
"Mm-hmm. It's so cool! Seriously, how many people do you know of that have two different color eyes?"
"N-Not many."
"Exactly! You just have to be confident about your uniqueness. Got it?" Haru smiles and nods his head fiercely. "Do you want me to walk you back to the orphanage?"
"Hai! Hai!"
"Ok, let's go then." Amaya starts to walk when she notices the jet black haired boy wasn't following. Amaya turns back. "What's wrong?" The boy stands there with his arms hanging by his sides as he looks to his upper right.
"Um, Oneesan…" Amaya's blue eyes open widely. 'O-Oneesan?' "…um, my-uh-knees hurt too much, to, uh, walk. C-could, uh, you c-carry me? Please, Oneesan." He blushes. Amaya smiles warmly as she feels butterflies in her stomach.
"Sure, Haru-kun." Amaya bends down and lets the boy climb onto her back. Amaya stands up when Haru steals her ski cap and puts it on his own head. Normally if anyone touched her cap, she'd flip, but this was a different occasion.
Amaya walks down the alleyway when she suddenly felt a presence of another. It was an unusual presence, one she had never felt the likes of. It wasn't like the presence was necessarily powerful, it was just unique. With a serious look in her eyes she scans the area of where the presence is.
"What's the matter Oneesan? Haru asks.
"Hm? Oh, I'm sure it was nothing"
Suddenly a gust of wind comes down the alley at Haru and Amaya. The wind makes slices and cuts in the fences by the alley and some trees and dirt. Amaya lets go of one of Haru's legs to shield her face as the boy ducks his head into her neck; Amaya's medium length hair wickedly swirls around the boy. "Hang in there Haru-kun!" Amaya yells as she grunts each time the wind slices her body. "Haru-kun, hold on as tight as you can!!" She yells as he hooks his arms around her neck. Amaya puts her hands together in several hand signs. "Rairyuu no Tatsumaki!" (Lightning Dragon Tornado) She yells. The cap-less girl holds up both of her hands as a very small and fine yellow ball forms between her hands. The ball then turns into a very small and fine beam that shoots through the center of the non-stopping wind. Then, from the start of the beam at Amaya's hands, a swirling dragon's head made of lightening, forms and rushes forward as a tornado made of lightening of a body follows it. The body becomes so big that it stifles the wind. Amaya's black locks fall around her face and in her eyes messily. She puts her arms down while panting greatly. "Haru-kun…are you alight?"
"Holy Crap! Oneesan that was so awesome!!" He shouts as he pops his head up to see what was going on. 'Awesome it may be, but it's so tiring to do, especially after a vigorous training session with Kakashi-sensei.' Amaya thinks.
"HHHHHAAAAAAAAA!!" Comes a feminine cry from above them. Amaya looks up just in time to jump backwards and dodge a vicious looking sledge hammer. The pink (ew) hammer makes contact with the path and sends pieces of the earth everywhere. Amaya grabs Haru from her back quickly and turns her back to the destruction as she hugs him in a protective embrace.
Unknown to Amaya, Haru was loving all of this. 1) He had never scene a battle before and 2) Amaya was pressing his face right into her…cleavage. 'Teeheehee' He thinks.
Amaya grunts ever so quietly as rocks and dirt pelt her back, painfully hard. Amaya jumps forward as she hears her opponent coming toward her. She hears another crash as the girl's hammer makes contact with the ground for the second time. Finally when the dust clears Amaya sees a girl about her age holding an unusual looking pink sledge hammer. The girl had brown hair that went to the middle of her back. Her eyes were a dark turquoise color, and she wore lots of pink. The girl had black ninja shoes. She also wore a pair of fishnets instead of spandex that went to a little bit above her knee. She wore a dress like Sakura's except at the top it ended like a tube top then the rest was fishnet. The bottom of the dress was much shorter than Sakura's because it just reached the middle of her thighs. And instead of two slits on the side of the dress, like Sakura's, there was a small one in front of the skirt, and it was a bit off center. There was a white belt, that was like an obi, but it was more fabric-y and it tied to the back on the side and it was white. About an inch worth of hem, on the top and bottom of the dress, was a lighter pink color than the body of the dress. The girl also wore arm band that were the same color as the dress and it had zippers on the inside part.
"Who are you?" Amaya stalls. There's no way that she could fight Ms. Pink, especially in these conditions. They were in a constricted area with homes of civilians around, Haru was with them, and she was still exhausted from training and doing the Lightening Dragon Tornado Jutsu, not exactly ideal.
"My name is Tenshiko (Angel child), and today is your day to die!" Tenshiko charges at Amaya. What did Amaya ever do to her? Amaya dodges the sloppy swings of the hammer skillfully. Shit, she had no choice, she had to run. Amaya could totally beat this girl, but it would be at a definite cost. Haru could get hurt; any of the civilian homes or the civilians could get hurt, and there's always the chance that this girl, who claims that it is Amaya's day to die, could be someone of great importance to Konohana for whatever reason, and Amaya might accidentally kill her and cause a great war, which was all very unlikely.
"Come on Oneesan! You can kick her butt!" Haru cheers from behind Amaya. Amaya sighs as she easily dodges another swing. One of Amaya's strong points was stalling and dodging weapons. Amaya could stall almost anything pretty darn well, and usually she can dodge attacks well, until she runs out of stamina, then she gets sloppy. 'This girl will probably just chase us if I decide to run, which is not good because she is so careless of her surroundings.' Amaya thinks with her eyes closed as she jumps over the head of Tenshiko. Amaya sighs again. 'I could always lure her to one of the training fields, and then there I could either fight her myself and have Haru-kun in a safe area, or if another team is there I could tell their sensei.' Amaya dodges another grunted swing by Tenshiko strategically to stay away from the houses. 'Hey, doesn't Sakura live near by? Well what good would she do anyway?' Amaya does a back flip in the air tightly holding onto Haru's legs. Once she lands she sprints to the training fields.
"Don't think you'll get away from me that easily Karasu!" Tenshiko yells after them as she takes off as well. 'Karasu? (Raven)'
"My name isn't Karasu!" Amaya yells back in hopes that this is just a mistaken identity.
"I know! I'm calling you that because you remind me of ravens!" Tenshiko yells. "And soon enough you'll be where we sent the rest of the Karasus just like you!" Amaya jumps onto the roof of a building and picks up the speed. 'This girl is nuts. Kuso, I really rather not fight her…well, I'd like to see her bleed on that pink dress of hers, but then I'd end up in the hospital from over exhaustion and I'd rather not have that happen.' Amaya thinks while jumping from one roof top to another at a very quick pace, Tenshiko had a difficult time keeping up, but she did, nonetheless.
"Oneesan, where are we going?" Haru asks.
"To the training fields."
"Why?"
"Because it's less dangerous to fight someone as careless as her; no civilians will get hurt."
"I HEARD THAT!!" Tenshiko yells comically from behind them, but the two ignore her.
"Ooooh…wow Oneesan, you sure are smart."
--
"Koodori (Jumping for Joy)-chan."
"Hai, Reiniku (Body and Soul)-chan?"
Reiniku, a 24 year old woman with dull, pale blue eyes, white hair, and ghostly white skin turns to Koodori, a 19 year old woman with shiny brown hair and brown eyes with a tint of honey and auburn colors in them.
"I think you should go check on Tenshiko-chan…" Reiniku looks up into the sky with her kind and honest eyes. "…I have a feeling that she's getting herself into trouble." Koodori dramatically groans and rolls her eyes.
"Again? Why can't she just stay out of trouble for ONCE?!" Reiniku smiles
"While you do that, I'll go and check in with the Hokage." She says in her heavenly voice.
"Right" Koodori sighs.

Amaya jumps from a tree into the opening of a field only to see a certain duck butt boy and cotton candy bubblegum flavored girl. "Sasuke! Sakura!" Amaya calls as she runs across the field to them. They both look to her as Sakura stands up.
'Great and I was all alone with Sasuke-kun too!' Sakura thinks. 'Chyeah! I'll make her pay for this later!' Inner Sakura thinks.
"Sakura, take Haru-kun. Haru-kun, go with Sakura for know, ok?" Amaya says breathless. Sasuke senses the urgency in her voice.
"Amaya what's wrong? What's going on?" Sakura takes Haru as Amaya swallows.
"There's this crazy girl named Tenshiko, she's nuts. She keeps calling me 'Karasu' and saying how 'today was the day I was going to die' and I don't even know the girl." Amaya says while panting and wiping the sweat from her forehead.
'Her hat.' Sasuke thinks as he notices that she's not wearing the black ski cap. 'She doesn't look all that bad without it.' He thinks.
"Yeah! The crazy lady keeps trying to hit Oneesan with a giant pink hammer! But Oneesan is too good for the crazy girl!" Haru squeaks. Amaya smiles at him, still panting but less then before.
"Pink…Hammer?" Sakura asks skeptically.
"Oneesan?" Sasuke looks at the blue eyed girl questioningly. Amaya shrugs and smiles cutely.
"HHHHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!" Comes the attacking cry of Tenshiko from behind Sasuke. Amaya reacts getting in between the pink hammer, which is being swung like a baseball bat from Tenshiko's left side, but Amaya's right side and Sasuke before pushing said Uchiha to the ground. Amaya takes the full blunt of the mallet in her right shoulder and flies through the air and hits into a tree with her left shoulder. Amaya cries out at impact and falls to the ground clutching both of her shoulders. Sakura gasps.
"Amaya!" Sasuke yells.
"Oneesan!" Haru yells.
Lucky for Amaya, the hammer hit her right shoulder which was where Kin was. Kin's arm is almost like armor and can block weapons and all sorts of stuff, but that doesn't mean that it is completely painless when it gets hit. It just means that it can handle more pain and force than a normal arm. Amaya slides up the tree and uses it to hold up her body. 'Kuso' she thought, she was more drained then she had originally thought, and that last hit, hit her real good. Tenshiko runs at Amaya yelling "DIE!!" Amaya's eyes widen when seeing the charging Tenshiko. Suddenly her vision was blocked by a blue shirt and black hair. Sasuke had made his way between the two females. Amaya watches dumbfounded as a giant ball of fire emerges from Sasuke's mouth directly at Tenshiko. 'Amazing…' Amaya thinks in wonder 'The fireball is even bigger and more powerful than the time he performed it at Kakashi-sensei, during the bell test.' But the fireball gets disrupted when it makes contact. Sasuke looks on in puzzlement as does Amaya over Sasuke's shoulder.

"Reiniku-san, it is a great honor to meet you." The 3rd Hokage greets the 24 year old woman.
"It's an honor to meet you as well, Hokage-sama." The white haired woman wears a low cut V-neck Kimono style shirt that was mostly white with some periwinkle blue, and she wore a blue skirt that went to the middle of her knee caps and a pair of wood sandals (like the ones Jiraya wears). Reiniku was very large in the chest area, very…very, large. The low V-neck was extremely revealing, but somehow, it still looked very classy, maybe it was her personality.
"I thought you were coming with two other comrades?" The elderly Hokage asks.
"Oh, I did. Tenshiko-chan is out exploring the village, and I sent Koodori-chan to go and get her."
"Oh, I see."
"Um, Hokage-sama?" Reiniku smiles, blushes and gets a sweat drop all at once. The Hokage looks up from his desk.
"Yes? What is it?"
"Well, I have a feeling that Tenshiko-chan might be causing a bit of a ruckus somewhere, you see, she's a little new to the business."
"Hmm, I see, well I guess well just have to find out then, won't we?" The Hokage smiles, Reiniku smiles back.
--
Sasuke and Amaya both see a woman with one of her arms extended out, stopping the fireball. She had brown hair that went all the way to her butt that was in a high ponytail and really pretty brown eyes. She was wearing an off the shoulder purple, quarter sleeve shirt dress. The sleeves had a type of white frill at the end of the sleeve which looked so elegant. The shirt had a large metallic purple bow that covered all of her stomach and tied into a gift bow in the back. The dark lilac color shirt stopped a little bit pass her hips. She then wore a pair of black almost-as-short-as-Daisy Duke-short-shorts. She wore black ninja shoes with a black sock on her left leg going all the way up to her mid-thigh, and another one on her right leg except it was the same dark lilac color as her shirt. She puts her arm down and reveals a dead serious look. Sasuke instinctively steps closer to Amaya and pulls out a kunai. Amaya pulls out a kunai, even though it won't do much because she can barely lift her arms. Out of no where the woman in purple smiles gleefully. "Hello there!" She sings.
Sasuke: "…………….."
Amaya: "………………."
Sakura: "…………………"
Haru: "??"
"What are you doing talking to the enemy?!" Tenshiko yells. The new woman starts to laugh nervously.
"Please forgive Tenshiko-chan, she's new to this job we have you see…" She waits for a response from anyone of the leaf ninja. She gets nothing but odd stares. "…you see she keeps forgetting that you don't attack people from the village you are guests in…" She laughs nervously again and waits for some type of response. Nothing, again.
"But Koodori-sempaaaaiiiii!! She's emmvmmlllmm-"Before Tenshiko could finish her sentence Koodori muffles her with her hand and smiles at the Konoha children nervously. Tenshiko pushes away the hand. "Can't you sense how much-"
"Nani?" Koodori interrupts the younger girl.
"I said, can't you sense-"
"Nani??"
"Can't you!"
"Naaaaaaaaani?"
"Let me finish a sent-"
"Naniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii?"
"SHE'S-"
"NNNNNAAAAAAANNNNIIIIIIII!!"
Question marks form over the heads of Sasuke, Amaya, Sakura, and Haru as they watch the two girls fight. Amaya leans in closer to Sasuke's ear while her eyes remain on the squabbling female, completely dumbfounded. "They are so weird." She whispers. He leans his head towards her, who is still behind him and says,
"Uh-huh. Where do you think they come from?" He whispers back, his eyes never leaving the two still bickering foreigners.
"I think I saw the girl in the pink have a symbol of a wing on it. Know what country that is? I sure as hell don't." Sasuke shakes his head.
"Me neither." Sasuke glances at Amaya then blinks quickly not realizing how close she was to him, and how close he had leaned into her. Sasuke kept staring as he suddenly felt the heat radiating off of her body and catching on to his. Her lips were slightly parted and he never realized how full and pink and shiny they really were. He subconsciously licks his own lips, which unexpectedly became drier and drier by the second. The way Amaya's hair was so messy and tousled, and the way her beautiful glimmering crystal ice blue eyes were staring so intently at the two arguing people, made her look like a real, raw, earthly goddess.
"Koodaori-sempaaaaaaiii!! Let me TALK!!" Sasuke gets snapped out of his daze and returns to looking at the two female foreigners.
"SHUT UP! MY GOD TENSHIKO SHUT UP!!" Koodori gets Tenshiko in a head lock, while she flails her limbs and screaming bloody murder.
"Mm-hm, I am officially scared." Amaya says.
"I thought you said that you never get scared." Sasuke smirks at her, referring to an argument they had a few days ago. Amaya pouts and glares at him.
"Well, this is a special occasion."
"Anyway…" Koodori walks up to Sasuke, Sakura, Amaya and Haru. "…look, I apologize on Tenshiko's behalf." She bows, Sasuke, Sakura, and Amaya all glance at each other.
"Um…ok…sure?" Amaya says, looking to her teammates for approval. They just shrug. Koodori stands up, Amaya notices that Tenshiko stands away from them pouting.
"To make it up to you, I'll heal all of your wounds." She smiles and tilts her head. Amaya suddenly got a chill going up and down her spine. That was bad. Over the years, ever since the Miyo incident, Amaya has learned to trust her 'this is a really bad thing and will come back and bite you in the ass' instincts, which is a chill/shiver going up and down the spine.
"Uh, you know what? I'm good." Koodori opens her eyes but keeps smiling, and it was starting to creep Amaya out.
"No, no, no, it's the least I should do." Amaya spine chills again, but even worse than the first one. Instinct takes over Amaya as she gently tugs on the back of Sasuke's shirt and slightly pulls him in between her and Koodori, the source of the bad feeling. Sasuke takes a small side step between them, knowing that Amaya was uncomfortable. Unknowingly, Sasuke was becoming angry at these Koodori and Tenshiko people.
"That's ok, I just need to sleep that's all." Koodori goes to say something but Sasuke beat her to it.
"Maybe you two should just home now and maybe we won't report you to the Hokage about this incident." He glares.
"Fine then." The two girls disappear. Amaya sighs in relief. Sasuke turns to her.
"What was that about?"
"I don't know. I just got a real bad vibe from her, and I've learned to trust my instincts. She was making me feel really uncomfortable."
"Yeah, we could tell." Sakura says. "Your whole body language changed." Amaya shrugs.
"Come on Haru-kun, I'll take you back to the orphanage."
"Ok, Oneesan!"
"But, Amaya, shouldn't you go to the hosp- Amaya!" Sakura cries when Amaya collapse to her knees, panting.
"Oneesan!" The three gather around Amaya.
"No, I'm fine, really." 'All I need to do is go home, sleep a little and then I'll have enough chakra to heal myself.' Sasuke sighs and rolls his eyes. Amaya looks at him with a questioning look, when suddenly he picks her up bridal style. She flinches in pain from the unexpected action.
"Sasuke-kun! What are you doing?" Sakura gasps.
"What are you doing to Oneesan?" Haru asks. 'God, they make it like I'm raping her or something.' Sasuke thinks, then he blushes at the thought of doing something…er…sexual, with Amaya.
"Look, I'm just going to take her to hospital because neither you nor Sakura can carry her…"
"Thanks for making me sound fat, duck butt." Amaya grumbles. Sasuke rolls his eyes, still blushing slightly.
"…and I don't want to be here all day. So be grateful, fatty." Sasuke glares at Amaya who returns another glare.
"Baka"
"Loser"
"Assnugget"
"……." Sasuke cocks an eyebrow at her.
"Owned."
