Konnichiwa guys! Thanks for all of you who took their time to give my story a review. But 6 out of 24-25 people are the only ones who reviewed? I would have expected more though... People who write stories just don't give their damn time to give reviews to those who actually give reviews! I'm warning you, there's Karma!
Yeah, I believe in that stuff, but only because a good deed is always rewarded and bad deeds don't leave without going unpunished. It may not be now or tomorrow, but someday!
Okay enough with my useless drabble and let's go to the story!
Disclaimer: Naruto does not belong to me and all those hopefuls out there who just write fanfics to waste their bloody time cuz they got nothing else to do...Hehehe... that includes me!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Night...", a lone figure breathed.
Among the shadows of the trees, lurked a figure hidden among the darkness. The night sky was beautiful to look at, many stars decorated the black silk that covered the planet, and it would have been a breath taking sight. Many couples would have been gazing up at the sky, but sadly, a female had to be on a mission. Blood will be spilled on the Village of Mist, but it will not be known until morning.
'It was a good thing I found a boat that was quick enough to get me here... although they're scarce.
The person looked up at the sky. She confirmed that it was now safe to move about. She pushed herself up and then jump towards another tree. Though it was amazing how she landed on it soundlessly and yet swiftly and gracefully as well. She landed on the branch momentarily and then jumped off to the next one.
She continued doing this process until she reached the outskirts of the Hidden Mist Village. Landing on the branch delicately, the female paused to inspect the area. Her eyes darted from one spot to another. Her hazel orbs scanning the entire place and her brown hair whipping about due to the light breeze. Yup, it was night now and Aya will now execute the mission given to her by the Hokage.
"If I were an old geezer who imports illegal things... where would I be?", she mumbled to herself, her eyes still searching the area.
Keeping quiet, her excellent hearing came to toll. Her senses flooded her, and she waited for any vibrations that would travel through the air.
Rustle... rustle...
Her eyes immediately darted to the direction of the sound. It sounded almost like footsteps. She decided to follow the rustling, it was better than just sitting down and doing nothing. She jumped towards the sound, following it blindly, her senses guiding her through the darkness of the forest.
She continued jumping until she spotted some light. She immediately stopped in her tracks and quickly hid, her whole body enveloped by the darkness. Creeping in the darkness, she saw a building that was covered with vines and leaves.
'I guess that's how they go unnoticed. They open only at night when they were sure that people around the area are sleeping and when in day, they'll cover the door with leaves and maybe they'll use a genjutsu to completely hide it...'
Just then, two bulky looking men suddenly appeared. They glanced around suspiciously before settling themselves at the side of the door that they were guarding. Aya sighed inwardly and rolled her eyes.
'Is that Yasuo guy serious? Hiring bodyguards whose brains match the size of a peanut? Or worse... a pea...'
She frowned slightly, but continued her mission anyway. She waited for the chance to attack the two men. Once they turned their heads to the side, she immediately pounced between the two and knocked them out. After a moment, both men dropped to the floor limp.
She placed her hands on her hips and sighed, "Now... to hide them..."
She took one of the men, and dragged him. Although, it took her quite some time to actually drag the guy. She huffed as she took one more 'powerful' pull to drag the guy behind a very large tree.
Once she managed to hide him behind the shadows of the tree, she stretched her back, and then wiped the sweat off her brow, she panted slightly due to her 'heavy work'.
"A muscle woman, I am not!", she stated before going back to the other unconscious man.
------------------------------------
Somewhere in Konoha...
And Junko whispered huskily to Nina. She, in turn kissed his lips, which he gladly returned with the same intensity... each of their feelings turning into heated passion... they stumbled their way to the bed and started to strip their clothes off... forcefully...
The masked paused with a sigh and looked up. As weird as it was, he didn't feel like reading his Come Come Paradise... He looked up at the sky and blankly stared at it. Something was bothering him that's for sure. Sighing, he closed his book and started his trek home.
------------------------------------
Outskirts of Hidden Mist...
Whipping her head to the side, she checked the area for any signs of guards and such. When she was sure there were none, the brown-haired girl ran silently to the hallway. Once in a while stopping to check the rooms if the person she was told assassinate was inside the rooms of the hidden building.
Running to a door, she slowly twisted the doorknob but realized that the door was locked. She frowned slightly that the door wouldn't budge. Somewhat irritated, she tried pulling the door and also pushing it. She grunted, but to her dismay, two big guys heard the grunts and came to check, and found Aya still struggling with the door.
"Hey!", they chorused.
She whipped her head and found that they were running towards her. She squeaked, very un-ninja-ish of her to do, but she immediately bolted to the opposite direction of the big men.
She made a sharp turn to her right which caused her slightly slide. She looked around the rooms that surrounded her, and to her advantage she found a dark room with the window showing the light from the moon. She instantly ran and hid herself through the darkness. The guards that followed behind saw her running to the room.
They entered it slowly, searching every inch of it, but found nothing but darkness cloaking the invader. Suddenly, the door closed behind them and then the room soon filled darkness as the window was their only source of light.
Behind them though, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the darkness, the men immediately turned to their defensive positions. Without them knowing, yellow eyes suddenly appeared and then when both men turned to look at the eyes, they froze stiff in their place and then they suddenly dropped limp to the floor when a blur passed by them.
Coming out of the darkness, Aya kneeled beside the bodies and checked if they were still alive. There was still a pulse, and their breathing was even.
Aya nodded, "They're knocked out... good...", she whispered while standing up.
The girl soon left the room and started to search the building once more. She made a quick turn to her left and then another turn to the right, she saw a glimpse of a big man who was most likely another bodyguard. He didn't see her however, and so continued to walk forward.
'Where is he going?', she thought with narrowed eyes.
The girl decided to follow the big man and tip-toed to his direction. She stuck to the wall immediately and heard the muffled conversation of two men.
"Sir, there is an intruder in the building...", the bodyguard calmly stated.
Then another man was heard talking back, "What makes you say that?"
There was a small scraping noise, most likely the larger man shifted his position, "We found two of our men missing form their posts at the front of the building and the other two are late for their duties..."
The other man was silent and then finally answered, "Search the entire building and try capturing the said intruder..."
"But sir-"
"I'll be fine... don't worry, just get the intruder..."
"...yes, sir...", was the last thing said before footsteps were heard.
Aya hid in the shadows once more and heard the man leave due to his heavy and loud footsteps. After a few moments, Aya quickly made her move. She ran to the side of the door and waited for the right moment to sneak in.
--------------------------------------
"Ne... Sakura..."
A girl with pink hair turned to her teammate, "What is it Naruto?", she asked.
Both genins were eating inside the Ichiraku Ramen restaurant. One of them held her chopsticks up because she was interrupted when she ate it.
The blonde boy suddenly smiled mischievously which confused the girl for a moment, "When Aya-chan gets back, how about we send Kakashi-sensei and Aya-chan on a date?"
Sakura was silent for a moment until her own mischievous smile appeared on her own lips. The two preteens then continued to eat their ramen, though their minds brewing with plans on how to set the two jounins on a date, the other mind more efficient than the other.
'Slurp!'
Naruto turned to the girl once again, "Ne... Sakura."
"What is it now Naruto?", Sakura asked a little irritated.
"Have you thought of a plan yet?"
Sakura smiled, "Of course!"
"Well... what is it?"
Sakura finished the last of her soup and then uttered, "Finish your ramen and come with me.", then she started to walk to a certain direction.
"Oy! Eh... S-Sakura-chan! Matte!", Naruto said out while slurping his ramen and then tried to catch up with his teammate.
Suddenly, the old man who owned Ichiraku realized something very important.
"Oy Naruto! You forgot to pay!"
-------------------------------
"Haha... I'm finally done with my A class Mission!", a girl chirped while marching away the building.
Although she was covered in blood, both hers and somebody elses, her hair tie broke which meant her hair was messy, and she was slightly tired, she was glad it was finally over. She hummed merrily as she continued down the path.
"Though those ninjas that Yasuo guy hired were quite troublesome, at least I got them knocked out long enough to kill him!"
She continued to sing merrily until something appeared which caused her to stop in her tracks. She stood at the edge of a cliff taking in the scenery before her. Across the village was the great Naruto bridge and a seemingly endless body of water.
And there... there was the village that she was raised in... Although she wasn't exactly born in this place, she was raised here in her early teen years. The place was covered in mist but you could still see the lights in the houses where families were in.
Unintentionally, she started jumping towards the one place where most of her memories lie. She raced her way down the place, her face suddenly dropping in sweat. She panted heavily as she dodged trees and other stuff that blocked her way to her destination.
'Where is it? It has to be here!'
She continued to run, but she suddenly tripped. She fell head first to the ground, the fall didn't register in her head yet as she groaned form the pain she felt on her forehead. Aya groaned while pushing her whole body up. She placed her hand on her forehead in hopes to ease the pain, but she checked her foot and found it on top of a branch.
After regaining her composure, she looked up and saw that she was now near the village. Since she was nearer to the place, she decided to walk towards it. The gravel in the ground moved a little when her foot was on it. She looked around the area that was foreign and at the same time familiar to her.
Everything seemed so familiar to her, the houses and buildings that towered over her was very different from how they used to look like long ago. As she continued down the path, she cam across a fork, but she instantly knew where to head. She took the right path where there were very little houses seen.
'I see that there are new houses here...', she observed.
She continued down the quiet path and she soon reached an empty house. She paused to take in the appearance of the small house in front of her. The wood was rotting, and weeds were almost everywhere, the house was clearly in bad condition, but she could barely care since she started walking towards it.
Her steps were very timid since she was afraid the house would break. Her steps were loud and creaks were heard. She entered what used to be a living room, the place was covered in dust, cobwebs were everywhere, and the chairs were broken. Though she didn't take the time to look at it, she continued to a narrow hallway, there were open doors to the left and right. The first room she passed by was the kitchen and dining room where all the utensils were scattered in the floor... with dry blood still on them.
The next room was on her left but the door was closed and she continued to another closed room to her right. She continued to the end of the hallway and she reached a door. The door in front of the girl led to the bathroom, the door was slightly open but not enough to see the whole room. And finally, to her right was an open bedroom.
Hesitantly, she walked in the small room. There was a tiny bed with its covers sprawled all over the floor. Like the rest of the house, the room was covered in dust. There were a few dolls in the room. The curtains in the room were stained with little blood and the color faded a long time ago. Aya frowned at the sight of the room, it was indeed depressing. She turned her head to another corner of the room and saw a vanity desk. There was a mirror covered in dust that you could barely see yourself when you look at it, there were a few perfume bottles but their contents empty. Aya slowly walked towards the vanity desk and when she reached it, Aya took the desk handle and pulled it open revealing a slightly dusty inside. She didn't hesitate to put her hands in it and search inside it.
'Where is it?', she thought desperately.
She was so desperate to find 'it' that she started throwing away the contents around the room. When she found a tiny book, she grabbed it and it away. When she turned back to the desk, she finally saw what she wanted. She smiled when she gently took the item.
'I almost had a heart attack...', she thought with relief filling her heart.
It was a beautiful silver bracelet with only one piece of stone attached to it. The stone was a color yellow with a swirl of color at the center of it. It was a cat's eye stone.
"I'm glad I found you...", she told the item she had on her palm.
"I'm glad we found you too... Since you killed our only source of good money, we're going to kill you too..."
Aya turned to her back and she saw quite a number of ninjas by the door. Aya immediately hid the bracelet she had and then jumped out of the window. The other ninjas didn't react immediately to Aya's sudden actions that they stood frozen for a moment until their leader barked the order for them.
"What are you all doing! Go get her!", their leader snarled.
This time they reacted immediately and jumped off towards the direction where Aya was seen going to. They ran up to the woods where they trudged along to, everyone was throwing shurikens and kunais at her.
She barely missed them, she continued to jump up to the branch of the tree and she paused to rest.
"I thought I lost them in the forest...", she said to herself until something zipped past her causing her to be vulnerable for a moment.
When the kunai stopped to a branch, her eyes widened at the explosive note connected to it. Realizing it, she jumped away but was too late when the note exploded behind her. Causing a burn on her back, Aya cried out in pain when she landed hard on the floor. She knew what her situation was, so she forced herself up and then jumped away.
'I have to get away!'
