Hello. This is a one shot fic. A short one shot fic. I'd like to thank BlueDragonGirl1 for proof reading this fic. And you should thank her too because she stopped me from potentially confusing the hell out of the lot of you.

A Cruel Game
It was a cruel game. Some didn't even realise they were playing it.
They were Kunoichi. They where trained more towards the infiltration part of ninja mastery then the fighting part.
And they all wanted to be good Kunoichi.
He was handsome, and mysterious. And difficult to get close to.
Kunoichi are trained to get close to anyone. Women, after all, make the best spies. Males outside of ninja villages, even some males within, have a bad habit of underestimating women. Kunoichi are taught to take advantage this habit.
If they could get close to him; if they could get him to notice them, then that would be enough. It would be proof that they were good Kunoichi and would be able to help protect their village in the future.
But, as is human nature, some got too deeply involved in 'The Game'. Emotionally involved. Ties were broken, friendships lost, tears shed.
One made the mistake of falling in love with him. Truly in love.
She risked her life for him, for this boy who had saved her life and made her feel good about herself. But mostly, for this boy who made her feel terrible about herself.
She still tried, because to her it was never a game. To her, he was the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. The precious person she always wanted to be safe. The one she wanted to be able to protect.
She failed.
