Betrayal is an ugly word

A cloaked figure walked through the late night streets of Tokyo as it rained heavily. They did not make haste to return home, the figure just walked slowly on the sidewalk as cars sped past. The shape of what looked like a katana could be seen in a horizontal fashion on the back waist. As soon as the streets were empty, the person threw the cloak off and raced forward at speeds unparalleled. The figure was wearing a skimpy blue ninja outfit with some white stockings. It appeared to be a girl with long, amber hair. She skidded to a stop in a dark alleyway and slid to the ground, trying to catch her breath.
"You are still much too slow, Kasumi." Hayabusa said as he leapt down from a rooftop. Kasumi drew her blade and leapt back,
"I don't want to fight, Hayabusa."
"Neither do I, I just came here to warn you...Hayate knows every move that you make." He slid his hand into her stocking; she blushed but did not attempt to attack him. He lifted his hand out and in his hand was a tracking device,
"H-how did that get on me?" Kasumi asked.
"Never trust anyone. Remember that stop you took back in the last city? Hayate had paid that manager good money to put this tracking device on you."
"Why didn't he just have the man kill me?"
"He doesn't need you dead now. He needs your combat genes to create the perfect army of ninjas."
"Then...why not kidnap me if he knew where I was?"
"He doesn't want the risk of anyone hurting you, yet."
"Yeah, right..." Kasumi replied, looking at all the scars embedded on her arms and legs.
"Leave Tokyo quickly, Kasumi, do not stay here any longer." Hayabusa spun into a swirl of leaves and vanished into thin air. Kasumi sheathed her blade,
"I should heed his warning..." Kasumi thought. She leapt onto the wall and raced up it. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps on water was heard. Kasumi shut her eyes, "Please...don't let it be them." The sound of swords being drawn now reached her ears. Kasumi drew her blade and wrapped a cloth around her mouth, fearing that they would try to use knock out gas. Three ninja leapt onto the roof, Ayane was amongst them. Kasumi stood ready, she was done running.
"Kasumi, just give up already," Ayane said, taking a step forward.
"Forget it; I won't let myself be used!" Kasumi shouted. Ayane narrowed her eyes,
"You have to make everything so difficult!" Ayane threw her blade to the ground and leapt forward. Kasumi, wanting to fight fairly, threw hers aside as well. Ayane performed a jump-kick. Kasumi grabbed her leg and swung her around, she tossed her and Ayane fell off the building. The other two ninja leapt forward. One landed behind Kasumi and one in front. They both punched, Kasumi ducked and their fists hit one another. Kasumi moved out from underneath their fists and grabbed the back of both their heads. She rammed them together and they became knocked out. Ayane crawled back onto the roof,
"Ayane, why don't YOU give up?" Kasumi asked.
"Shut up!" Ayane raced forward, furious. She threw a punch; it connected with Kasumi's cheek and sent her spiraling off the building. Kasumi extended a hand and grasped onto the edge of the building. She hung on but her fingers were being provoked by the roughness of the stone building. Two of her fingers slipped and she felt herself lower down closer to a sure knock out. Ayane stared down at her; the utmost hatred filled her eyes. Kasumi lost her grip and fell. She hit a flagpole extending from the building; she lay on the flagpole for a brief second as the pain began to intensify. She fell off and hit the ground hard. Ayane leapt down from the building and planted both feet on Kasumi's chest, "Gotcha." Ayane said, grinning evilly. Suddenly, Hayabusa appeared. He put Ayane in a choke hold and pulled her off of Kasumi.
"I apologize," he said. He smashed his fist into her head, knocking her out. He dropped her onto the cold cement and kneeled down next to Kasumi.
"Are you alright?" he asked. Kasumi blacked out.
When Kasumi came to, she found she was lying in a bed in the backroom of Hayabusa's Curio shop. She sat up; she felt an immense pain in her chest where Ayane had landed and in her back where she had hit the flagpole. Hayabusa entered holding a tray with some rice, teriyaki chicken and tea on it.
"Here you go," Hayabusa said, setting it down on her lap. Kasumi took a bite and her eyes filled with tears, "What's wrong?" Hayabusa asked.
"It's...so good." Kasumi said, smiling as tears streamed down her face.
"Ha, Hayate always thought so too."
"Hayate..."
Shinobi Village
"Damn it!" Hayate shouted as he tossed a bowl of rice across the room. It hit a wall and shattered into pieces.
"I apologize..." Ayane said, bowing her head.
"That's it, Ayane. It's time I hired a professional, call Bayman, tell him the price for capture is one million."
"Yes, Hayate," Ayane said, standing up.
Curio Shop
It had been five days since the rooftop battle; Kasumi was feeling much better and on an occasion helped Hayabusa run the shop. Finally, one night at dinner, Hayabusa decided it was time for her to go.
"But..." Kasumi started.
"No, Kasumi. You have to leave or you will put ALL Tokyo in danger." Kasumi cast her look to a small picture with Hayabusa, Hayate, Ayane and her on it.
"Ok, but where do I go?" Kasumi asked.
"Head for the nearest city or town, seek refuge there for a few more days and then keep moving." Hayabusa replied as he handed her a pink outfit similar to her blue one, except it had no sleeves.
"Thank you for all this, Hayabusa." Kasumi said. She changed out of the kimono she had been wearing and pulled on the outfit. She slid the katana onto her belt loop. Hayabusa placed his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes,
"Don't get caught, if you need me...know that I'll be there no matter what." Kasumi nodded, but Hayabusa did not lift his hands from her shoulders. Kasumi slowly closed her eyes and leaned forward. Hayabusa did the same and they locked lips. Kasumi withdrew and Hayabusa removed his hands,
"Good-bye, Hayabusa." Kasumi said as she left the shop.
"I'm sorry..." Hayabusa whispered. He turned around and touched his ear, "Hayate, she's on the move."
"Thanks, friend," Hayate replied, smiling broadly, "Go now, Bayman."
