Kumiko's POV


"Kumiko.? As in.. a girl with braids?" Rynai asks me. My smirk fades slightly. I just told this 'boy' I knew 'his' secret, and 'he's' wondering what my name means? What in the world.. I shake my head;

"No it means beautiful, or long lived child.." 'He' snapped his fingers.

"Oh well now THAT makes sense.." I close my eyes to suppress a glare when 'his' Chakra suddenly disappears from the room. I jump up, which makes the chair behind me topple over and dash to the window. Taking a quick glance left, down, up and right, I click my tongue.

"Tsk, 'He' got-" A pair of sea-foam green mischievous eyes, which are covered slightly by 'his' bangs, stare at me from under the hospital bed. One could tell, even with the mask, a nervous smile is plastered on the heart shaped face.

"Uh.. you found me.." 'He' mumbles lamely. I face palm in disbelief. I have found myself an idiot. Rynai quickly crawls out from under the bed and sat cross legged against the far wall, next to the door. Am I really that intimidating? Fresh, white bandaged are wrapped around 'his' neck, covering a cut he got from a unseen kunei that Hikan apparently poisoned. "... so.. what do you mean you.. 'know my secret'..?" 'He' finally asks as 'he' pulls a senbon out of 'his' vest pocket and shoves it into 'his' mouth.


Rynai's POV


" I was born unexpectedly." Kumiko began. I raised an eyebrow as she continues. "My mother deprived me of what others would call 'motherly love'. My father was the only one I could trust. I love him unconditionally, despite how he would leave so much for his work." I watch as her body stiffens from the tale. The only thing that rushes through my mind at this moment though is, I'm really hungry. "We lived in a quiet town for most of my life.. then I saw a wolf."

She paused, relaxed, and a small.. loving smile crossed her angular features. " The wolf was the most majestic and beautiful thing I had ever laid eyes on. It had pure white fur, silver eyes, and black feathering which traveled up to it's forearms... It had a noble presence about it." I switch from being Indian style to leaning up against the wall with one arm propped up on my knee with the other leg stretched out front o me. "A beautiful black bird, a Raven, was roosting on the wolves head. That's what got my attention."

A raven? On a wolves head? Who would've thought. "I followed them from my house, deep into the woods. At this point I didn't care if I was killed by a wolf, me being only 6.. Tsk.." She clicked her tongue and crossed her arms in thought. "Anyway I follow the two to a huge oak tree, and a black hole appeared, swallowing me whole only to land in Kono-" Before she could finish her sentence I clamp my hands on her mouth.

"Did you just say.." I pause to think of the right words. " Where are you from?"


Kumiko's POV


I have decided this 'boy' is a nut. "I'm originally from Washington DC, in America." A long, eerie silence followed my answer. Rynai's eyes suddenly began to water as 'he' stared at the floor.

"So what bloody black hole has done it before huh.." Apparently the confusion in my eyes was enough to give away my wonder. " About 9 months ago, a black hole stole me from the WRD in London." WRD.. where have I herd that before..? Pure rage suddenly replaced 'his' sadness, "IT STOLE MY BLOODY ICECREAM! I MEAN WHAT TYPE OF BLACK HOLE STEALS CHOCLATE ICECREAM? I MEAN... " 'He' paused. "I WOULD TOO BUT STILL!" A hole suddenly appears in the wall to my right, leaving Rynai panting with a red fist.

"Your from London... That explains your British accent.." I mumble. It's barely noticeable but it's still herd when 'he' talks for a long period of time.

"Rynai Akaigami is not your real name, is it?" 'He' shakes his head.

"My real name is.." 'His' face suddenly grew serious. "Twitch." 'He' starts to laugh like an idiot, and perches on the windowsill, then flashes me a peace sign.

"You should stop jumping around so much, sooner or later your going to get hurt." A ninja with silver hair and a mask poofed in. Instently realizing who it is, I hide my eyes beneath my hair and step back.

"Hey anti-gravity geezer!" Rynai tries to punch him, but he catches 'his' fist and pulls out an orange book... gross.. Its THAT book.. Based on only instinct, I throw the bedside lamp at his head. His eyes grow wide as it passes his ear.

"Well well well.. If it isn't my old student Kumi-chan" The ONE person who can erk me more then-

"Old student! Damn Kumiko how old ARE you?" Rynai was slapped upside the head for 'his' comment. "How is Sasuke, did ya seal the curse mark and run into rat-breath?" Rynai mumbles. Kakashi glanced in surprise at 'him', who simply stretches and walks away on the roof. "Oh and 'Kumi-chan'" 'He' mocks Kakashi, "Meet me at training ground 4 at 5am!" Really this kid!


Rynai's POV


Kumiko.. Kumiko.. No matter how much I probe my mind the name sounded familiar. My attention was suddenly drawn from the plain looking ceiling of my Konoha apartment to the ever slowly rising orange and red sun. Getting out of the uncomfortable, lime green tinted sheets, I move to open the window. Cold, moist wind rushed in through the window as I creaked it open and frown. A storm is coming. It's in the air.

I shivered as I changed quickly out of my baby blue Pj's and into my normal gear. Quickly, I throw on tan cargo pants secured with a black belt, tied spanking new bandages around my torso, my wrists n' hands, and my feet. On my way out the door I grab a brown fishnet shirt along with my black jonin-like hooded vest and my senbon pouch before heading to training ground 4. Today is going to be a long day.


TWO MINUTES LATER- TRAINING GROUND 4


My patience almost reaches it's limit as Rynai appeared from behind the tree I'm leaning on. I suppress a glare as 'he' grins at me and moved toward the center of the clearing.

" You said you came here because of a wolf and a raven. Right?" I raise an eyebrow, curious of 'his' question.

"Yes.." 'His' face turns almost Itachi like as he stares at me.

" You can summon them, can't you?" Is this kid suppose to be smart.. or perhaps 'he's' merely basing these questions off instinct.

"Yes I can wh-"

"AWESOME! SUMMON THEM! I WANNA SEE! CAN I MAKE A CONTRACT TOO? I WANT A SUMMON! HOW DO I-" So much for my previous thoughts. I chuck a kunei at 'his' head. Unfortunately, 'he' ducks, but 'his' hood gets torn off, making 'him' grunt as it passes through. Wide eyes look toward mine with a hint of disbelief, fear and cautiousness. "That would have killed me if not for my sleep reflexes, you know that.. right?" I shrug. "JERK!" I ignore 'him' and move toward the forest.


SOMEWHERE IN THE TREES


"Will you SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" an irritated blond turns to an orange swirly masked man.

"But! But! I wanna say 'Hi' to the pretty girl and shorty!" The orange masked man, more like a child, complains while grabbing onto the annoyed blonds black cloak sleeve with a red cloud imprint. Finally giving into his anger, the blond slams his hands together and growls;

"KATSU!" effectivly blowing the orange masked man out of his bubble and out of sight.
