for any of you that read my other story, ryuuko will also be in here. Nothing that happens there affects here, and vise versa. This is just Ryuuko, not Hikari :D


Momiji POV

I walked out of the cave, and headed toward the direction that the island was in. These days, I would have Cloudfire teleport me. However, there was a weakness in her jutsu. She had to have been, or could see the location. Otherwise, it wouldn't work. I summoned some wind, and rode on it. After about 7 hours, I arrived at the ocean. This time, I used a boat. Using both wind and water, the speed I traveled at was unmatched by any other ship. Soon, I approached the island

The island is protected with many barriers. Also, heavy mist surrounded it, with genjutsus casted. The water was full of predators that can and would kill any unknown intruder. Furthermore, the island moved around, avoiding detecting. Any intruder who actually made it on the island, was either killed, had their memory changed, or joined the clan. However, that had only happened twice.

I cancelled the genjutsus, and walked onto the island. Behind me, the genjutsus reformed themselves. The predators left me alone, recognizing me.

I started to walk toward the center of the the island, where the main buildings and the village were. Our island was split into 5 parts: Mountains in the north, meadows in the south, forests on the east, and desert to the west. The center, as I've said before, was a village. The members of the clan go to different sections to train. The weather was perfect, the air fresh. It was beautiful, and it was our home. All of us would die to protect our land, The Land of the Wild, or Territory of the Okami, as the wolves knew it.

I walked through the forest, my cloak swishing. I had changed into the clan wear. I wore a cloak, that was open at the bottom. It had a bit of a collar, about a centimeter and a half. It was a red color, like my hair. On the back, was a design of a wolf, howling at the moon. The design showed my rank. The leaders of the clan, my brother and I, were the only ones with such a design. Kaname's was blue. Members that were still training and learning had a wolf pup face, on black cloak. However, they were different from the academy and genin kids. The people training were around Chunnin level. The next level was equal to jounin. The male had blue or green cloaks and the women with red or purple. There was a grown wolf face on the back of theirs. And then, there were the council of 5. They helped us with some decisions each specializing in certain areas. They wore a gray cloak, with a howling wolf on it.

About 50 meters from the village, someone jumped down from a tree. It was the girl, Ryuuko that we saved about 8 years ago, when she was 7.


Flashback

(A/N: at this time, they don't have the Hunters yet)

Momiji POV

"Momiji-domo!" A ninja shouts one day. I quickly stand up

"What is is?"

"The clan. The dragon clan. They're being wiped out!" He says, panting.

"WHAT?!" I shouted, before gaining control. Quickly, I summon a blast of wind and heads toward the land were the Dragon Clan lives. After about an hour, I reach the land. Thankfully, the island was close to the mountains were the clan lived. I had used my strongest wind, and hoped I made it in time. Quickly, I started to run. My speed was the fastest, about the same as the Raikages. In 5 minutes, I was at the village. The scene before me made my eyes widen. Bodies laid around the ground, blood still flowing. Of humans and dragons. The worst though, was the missing scales on their forehead that marked them as the Dragon Clan. Most likely, this was the work of bounty hunters. And whoever they were, they had a lot of power to be able to kill the whole clan. I saw a body that wasn't one of the clans and looked at it. Right away, I saw it wasn't human. I walked around, hoping to see some movement. Just when I was about to give up hope, I heard a stone hit the ground. running to the sound, I was met with a bunch of illusions. Cancelling them all, I saw a little girl, maybe 6 or 7. Slowly, I approached her. Before a got 10 feet from her, a dragon appeared. I gasped, recognizing it as the Dragon Goddess. So this girl is the clan's heir. No. She was the clan's heir.

"Who are you?!" The Goddess said, her voice overflowing with fury.

"I am Momiji, the leader of the Wolf Clan." I told her. I'm not sure if she would know our clan though, after all, we did a lot to remain hidden.

"That clan?!" She said, eyes widening. "So, you're the daughter of the Sage?"

"How do you know my father?!" I said, surprised.

"I was friends with him. I helped him out once in a while. Afterwards, I kept tabs on you guys." The girl pulled on the Dragon Goddess's robes.

"Who's that?" She whispered. I bent down.

"My name is Momiji. What's yours?" I asked
. She looked up at the Dragon Goddess, and when she nodded, the girl began to speak.

"My name is Ryuuko. Where's mommy and daddy?" She said. I bit my lip.

"I'm sorry." I said. Her eyes widened and tears formed

"No! You-You're lying! They said they would come back!" Her voice trembled as tears started to pour down. The Goddess took her and started to talk to her. After awhile she calmed down, though still sad.

"Ryuuko-chan. I want you to join our clan. We will become your new family. I promise that we will take good care of you, as long as you serve the clan. However, I want to warn you. If you decide to join, there is a time were you will have to give up your life. But, I promise that it's for a good cause. My clan, the Wolf Clan, protects this world." I said, and then stopped, wanting to see her reaction. She bowed her head, and then spoke
.

"Does that mean, that I can protect everyone else? That no one else will have to feel the way I do?" She whispered. My eyes widened. She was indeed a kind girl, if that was her thoughts.

"Of course." I said.

"Then, yes." She said, her voice getting stronger. "I will join your clan, and make sure no one else will have to feel the way I do."


End Flashback

"Momiji-domo. Welcome back." Ryuuko said, bowing her head slightly. I nodded, and then continued to the village and the main building were the meeting would take place. I wondered what was going on. It had been quite a long time since I had last returned, about 4 years now. I entered the building, and into the meeting room. The council bowed their heads and welcomed me. I sat down and they raised their hands.

"What's this about?" I asked, right away. The council looks at each other and then one spoke

"We think that you should kill all the members of the Akatsuki soon." He stated. I stared at him, and then slammed my hand down.

"ARE YOU CRAZY? THAT IS NOW HAPPENING!" I shouted, and then sat down. I was confused. Why did I react so strongly? And then I knew. My years with the akatsuki had made me slightly attached to them. I saw them as pack members. I didn't want to kill any of them.

"Forgive me." I said. " But I will not kill them. They aren't bad. At least, most of them aren't. There isn't a need to kill them."

"Not now maybe, but in the future perhaps."

*time skip an hour*

I walked about of the building and jumped onto a tree. In the end, we decided that for now, we wouldn't kill any of them. We would try to gain the member's favor, and get them to turn against their idea. In fact, most of them probably didn't know what Tobi wanted. And finally, I was going to tell Itachi about us. The rest was up to my brother and I to decide. For sure, I wouldn't chose to kill them, unless it was the last possible choice. Instead, I would try to protect them.
