Kina pulled the dusty, worn out curtains over the entrance of the dilapidated chapel. She wore a black hooded cape to conceal her face and her face only. Kina was an outcast Shinobi of the village of the sand; her only refuge the forest and her own village. Inside the chapel, the shadows cast flickering shapes. She flipped her coat on the ground-coated floor, stirring up dust. As she kneeled in front of a statue, something approached.

"You're late, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru kneeled down beside her and snarled, "Do you think I care?"

Kina shook her head. "No. On the contrary, I think you don't give a shit."

Orochimaru looked down and whispered, "Damn right."

The silence enveloped the two ninjas. Kina stood up and lit a candle. The light spread over the floor and stopped at a dusty alter. The eerily silent building trembled from inside. The windows cracked a little more and the old chapel groaned and creaked. The floor opened to reveal a dark, seemingly, endless cavern. Orochimaru stepped in the cavern and started down the invisible steps with Kina following close behind him. The footsteps echoed in the cavern and created a type of loud disrupting noise. As the end of the cavern came near, another presence joined them. A presence the Kina had always taken heed to ignore. Orochimaru opened another door. Inside was a table with 5 chairs surrounding it. As they sat down a new voice joined them. It was raspy and flaky, as though it had been burnt or damaged from the inside. "Why so gloomy comrades?"

Genjoyo stepped out of the shadows with a slight smirk on his face. His arms were crossed in his ever-annoying pose. Orochimaru scowled at him and stood up. "How dare you call us comrades, you son of a bitch."

Kina folded her arms in amusement and looked at the two ninjas. Itachi made his entrance in the middle of the two men. Genjoyo took a hesitant step forward then faltered at the look that Itachi shot him. The two parted and took their places on the table. Kina fingered her kunai knife slowly. She was beginning to get irritated. Itachi had always managed to spoil her fun, especially when it came to Orochimaru and Genjoyo. Itachi sat next to Orochimaru with his eyes glinting. Genjoyo tapped his fingers on the table impatiently, as Orochimaru ripped off his face. Kina grabbed Orochimaru's hand and hissed. "Stop it. Its disgusting."

Orochimaru peeled away the last bit of ivory skin and scowled to show his defiance. Kina let go of Orochimaru's arm with a look of disgust plastered on her face. Itachi kicked Orochimaru from beneath the table. "Next time, take it outside."

Genjoyo covered his glee by turning around and giggling. Kina felt that everyone around her had gone crazy. She opened up her palm and put it softly on the table. "I'm leaving. Now."

Itachi gave her a cold stare and gave a low growl. "Your not allowed to leave."

Orochimaru and Genjoyo smirked and chorused after Itachi, willing to do anything to get back at the young girl. "Yeah."

Kina shrugged and said, "I know."

Itachi glared at this show of sudden defiance. "You do not answer me like that."

"I shall do whatever I wish, Itachi." Kina flicked her fingers and she was gone, with only a whirl of dust left in her trail.

Itachi groaned and slammed his hand on the table, breaking it. "Damn that woman! I knew this would happen!"

Orochimaru flinched at this sudden show of anger. "Itachi, she's gone."

Genjoyo nodded in silent agreement.

"I know. But why now? The war against the leaf will start soon! She was important too…"

Genjoyo looked around at the darkness and whispered, "Maybe…she's going back to leaf to tell them…about our plan."

Itachi put his hands on his forehead and sighed. "No. She wouldn't."

Orochimaru grimaced and said, "You don't know her well. The youth of a girl is impossible to read."

Itachi sighed and said, "I'll ask Neni-dono what to do with her."

200 miles away from the chapel, Kina jumped from tree to tree, pondering of what to do with all the information she withheld. She knew how much power she held. How much she could injure both sides of the war. How she loved to cause chaos. But which side should she pick? Kina wiped these troublesome thoughts away from her mind and headed home. Home to her own hidden village, the village hidden under the earth. Kina propelled herself towards the ground. She had been Hokage of her village since the age of 15. No one but the villagers and herself knew of the hidden village. The village was underground, which was almost impossible. She entered the ground and looked over her village. It was a village of darkness. She practically owned the oni. The only things fit for living in the harsh underground conditions were the oni and all the monsters. Kina was used to this place of darkness. She loved to play with the baby oni, and talk with the elderly. She didn't hate them, for she grew up with them. Kina walked to her house on the far side of the village. She changed out of her black clothing and wore a dark green shirt with shorts. It was about time that she paid a visit to the village of the leaf.
