Hey, I'm back with the 2nd chapter. Please R&R and enjoy.
Kasumi sat down next to her sleeping sister in the bed of leafs Hayate had laid her in. With the male Ninja gone to take revenge upon what has befallen his clan, there was nothing she could do but do as her sister and sleep. The sun was getting ready to set and darkness soon approached to cover the sky in its blackness. Slowly, Kasumi's gentle eyes began to close and within minutes she fell asleep right next to an extremely loud snoring Ayane. Hours passed quickly, and before long the sun's vibrant bright rays shined down on the two sleeping Ninja's faces.
The warm heat from the beams had awakened Ayane up from what happened to be quite a peaceful nap. Standing up from the bed of leafs, she yawned and could feel her strength that had left her since the attack returning. Feeling fully energized, this was a fairly happy moment for Ayane. Now, she was able to fight again. The first thing that came to the young Ninja's mind was getting revenge for her fallen clan.
As she started to walk off towards the direction Hayate had run off to, something pulled at her leg. Looking down, Ayane saw the very person she hated…Kasumi. For years the purple haired Ninja developed a strong grudge towards her sister, a grudge that didn't seem likely to end. She despised Kasumi in a number of ways, mainly for the affection Hayate had for her. It made the Ninja's stomach cringe to see her brother care more for somebody who didn't deserve such a thing.
Through the years, Hayate showed signs that he cared more for Kasumi than he did Ayane. The purple haired ninja thought she should be the one receiving all the love and care that Kasumi had gotten, but not much was giving to her. She really showed her feelings towards Hayate in a strong emotional way, but he always seemed to ignore and never really notice them. Looking down at her sister in sheer anger, Ayane struck Kasumi across the face with her hand after remember those painful memories, memories where the red haired Ninja was given the attention and not her. From the powerful impact Ayane's hard right fist made with her jaw, Kasumi lost balance and fell back onto the bed of leafs.
A look of sadness was displayed on the Ninja's face after she hit the ground. The sore, aching pain made her want to burst into tears and cry. But Kasumi remembered that she was a big girl, practically grown, and really had no purpose for crying. Instead, the young red head held back the saddened tears that so desperately wanted to leak out from her sensitive eyes.
"What did you do that for?" whined Kasumi.
The ninja could see the growing hatred in her sister's eyes staring back angrily. Never once did she see the purple hairedfemale smile or express any signs of happiness.
"Our entire clan is dead and all you can do is lay on your back and sleep!" screeched Ayane.
"You should be doing something useful, like getting back at those spineless dogs that annihilated our clan!"
"I would, but Hayate told me to stay here and watch over you," said Kasumi, rolling her eyes, noticing how hypocritical her sister was being.
"Fool, I don't need any one to watch over me! I can take care of myself! I'm going to go help Hayate! If you know what's good for you you'll stay behind!"
"No, Ayane, I'm coming with you!" Kasumi insisted.
"You've done enough!" Shrieked her angry sister.
Ayane spun around and dashed off after Hayate into the forest, leaving Kasumi alone in the lifeless village. She wanted to help, but every time she would make an offer to assist anyone they would turn her down and tell her to stay behind.
"I'm not going to just stay here and do nothing," she said. "I going to help whether they like it or not!
Kasumi then dashed off after her sister and brother into the forest. Her feet threaded through the tall blades of wet grass swaying from the blowing winds. Water splashed around wildly from beneath the Ninja's heels as she ran through large puddles and rivers. Soon, it was time to take a break and rest for a while. Running for several minutes had taken a toll on Kasumi's heart. She walked over to a large tree and leaned up against the bark at the bottom.
Staring off into space, the ninja saw an image of Hayate, Ayane, and herself sitting down by a large roaring fire. They were laughing and enjoying each other's company. It was only a hallucination, but a good one that Kasumi just couldn't bare to ignore. The vision she saw was what she had wanted to happen for such a long time. Her, Ayane, and Hayate were never really close, that's what Kasumi believed.
They spent more time apart than they did together. A small whizzing noise suddenlybuzzed in Kasumi's ear that brought her out of the peaceful daydream she was having. A small, shiny flickering object flew towards the red haired Ninja's head. Immediately, she rolled out of the way of its path and allowed it collide with the tree bark she was leaning up against. Rising up from the ground, Kasumi looked closely at the strange object to examine it.
It was a deadly, small, sharp object that had been thrown with the intent on killing her. The object was a shuriken: a deadly tool used by Ninjas to fling at their enemies. Seeing the instrument notified Kasumi that she wasn't alone in the forest. Two ninjas appeared from a well-camouflaged covering that hid them within the tree bark. In an alerted fashion they drew out their long glistening blades, looking to slice Kasumi's neck cleanly off her shoulders.
These Ninja's appeared to be the same as the one's that had attacked the young, red haired teenager's village. Realizing this, the look in Kasumi's eyes began to intensify. She dashed towards the two Ninjas with her sword raised, ready to stab them on contact. But before she reached them, they jumped out of the way, forcing her to stop. Up in the trees they stood, strategizing their attack pattern.
One dropped back down and immediately swung his sword at Kasumi's head. The female ninja leaned back and the tip of the blade wound up missing its target. Instead, her shiny loose hair was cut in place of her face. The other Ninja came dashing from behind, knocking Kasumi down on her stomach. They attempted to stab the young female while she was down.
Just when she thought the end was near, two flying daggers came soaring towards the ninja's from the sky. The sharp knifes pierced right through their clothing and into their beatinghearts. Kasumi rose up from the ground patting the dirt off her top, wondering how the attacking Ninja's had died.
"Who did that?" she said.
Soon, Kasumi could hear the sound of something moving around in the trees. She hastily pulled her sword back out from its hilt and positioned herself into a fighting stance, thinking it was another Ninja coming to attack her. A figure came flipping down from the trees dressed in red Ninja gear. Kasumi backed away nervously, ready to strike the mysterious stranger at any second. The ninja clad figure slowly approached Kasumi and pulled off his mask. The Ninja revealed himself to be a young girl.
That's it for chapter two.
