I didn't even know what happened. One minute everything was fine and we were all just walking.

"Get down!" I didn't have to be told twice. I ducked and a huge sword flew above us all. I looked around to see a man. He had no shirt on and had his face covered slightly as well. His sword was the only thing I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I was bigger than I was. Maybe staying with this group wasn't a good idea at all.

"Guard the bridge builder." Sakura drew a kunai,"Hai." She replied to her sensei taking a fighting stance. All I could do was get up and fumble through my bag looking for my own. I dropped it mumbling a few curses. I quickly picked it up but this enemy's laugh caused the hairs on the back of my neck to stand up.

"I need you all to focus on your team work. This is my fight so please do not get in the way." The other two did the same as Sakura and got out their kunai. "Kakashi Hatake the copycat ninja, no wonder the other two failed."

"I can see that I am in your book too Zabuza, demon of the mist." I gulp at the thought. What the hell, a demon. I looked around me trying to figure out what my next move was. I didn't escape and leave my uncle so that I could die here. "Suiren-chan, get behind me." I looked over at Naruto and nodded. It was the only thing I could do at this point.

"I'm ready." I looked over at Kakashi who had lifted up his plate. He exposed a red eye. Something I had never seen before. Naruto spoke before I could. "What is that?" I looked over and Sasuke didn't look pleased at all. "Seems I get to see the Sharingan in action." The demon said.

"Shari- what now?" I whispered. "Sharingan. It's a blood line trait, a kekkei genkai that allows the user to see and learn any taijustu, ninjustu, or genjustu from their enemy and use it against them." My mouth fell open a bit. That's pretty cool actually. I wonder if I could learn to do that.

"It's much more than that. Hatake is rumored to have copied over a thousand justu." The demon cracked his neck and my knees got weak. I don't think I was cut out for this. I looked around again looking for a way out but I think I was in it for the long haul. "Team stay back."

"I guess I'll have to kill you first Kakashi." I watched the demon walk onto the water. Quicker than I could keep up he performed some hand signs and a mist started to appear. "Who is he sensei?" I heard Sakura ask what we were all thinking.

"He is an x-leader of an assassination squad of the land hidden in the mist. He is the master of the silent technique." My heard started to pound at the thickness of the mist, it was unnatural.

"As the technique suggest he can kill with no warning not even knowing you've been killed till you're already on the other side." I felt a tear run down my cheek. I couldn't breathe. I felt like I was having a panic attack. My eyes darted around. I was trying to focus. Like my uncle taught me but in the dark. To sense with your mind. I could feel the others next to me and Kakashi not too far off. My heart was beating out of my chest but I couldn't calm down. Thump. Thump.

"Suiren, relax! I will protect you all with my life. I will not let my comrades die." I could feel him smile softly even though I couldn't see him. Comrades, I'm far from it and I wouldn't think twice about them forgetting about me in lieu of saving each other. Focusing harder I gasped.

"Hit the floor!" I yelled pulling the bridge builder toward me. I felt the demons chakra and he had split me and the bridge builder from the other three. "It's over." He said all I could do was push the man they were protecting out of the way and duck. The others had jumped out of the way as well. I didn't think, I let out some of the chakra I was hiding and pushed the demon forward, expelling the chakra from my hands. He didn't fall over but he moved a few feet from where I was.

"You little brat. Where did you get that chakra?" He said trying to cover up his surprise. Turning he took another slice of his sword to cut down Kakashi. I gasped and my hand went to my mouth. Just as soon as I thought he was dead his body turned to water. The real Kakashi appearing behind Zabuza with a kunai to his neck. "Now it's over."

I grabbed at my heart. Was it over? The demons laugh told me otherwise. "You take me that lightly Kakashi." With those words Zabuza turned to water as well. "Water clone-"He mumbled more to himself. The team re grouped and took a defensive perimeter around the bridge builder again. "Thanks Suiren." Sakura gave me a side look and I nodded. I didn't really do much though. My uncle drilled me hard on chakra control. I just got lucky.

"Kakashi-!" I took a step forward and tripped on a rock. Like an idiot. My head hit the floor pretty heard. Their sensei had looked over at me and with one swift kick he was in the water. Damn it. I'm an idiot. I ran over to the edge despite Naruto yelling my name. The water felt thick as I tried to grab hold of his hand. "Water Style Water Prison Justu!" I scuffled two feet back at the sound of the demons voice and watched as Kakashi was stuck in a ball of water.

"Now you can watch your whole team die Hatake." My breathing increased dramatically. I wish I could wake up from this nightmare. "You all need to run. Right now, this is a battle you can not win." I heard the man speak but my eyes were on the demon as he created a water clone. I felt an arm wrap around my waist and pull me back a bit. "His clone cannot travel to far from his body. Just run."

"You think you know what it is to be a ninja? You have never struggled between life and death so many times that the idea of it just doesn't faze you anymore. Only then could you even think of calling yourself ninja." In the time it took me to blink the clone kicked Naruto in the gut flinging him back a few feet. I winced and looked up to see Sasuke wince as well. He ran toward the man and flung two kunai at him. The demon only reflected it and punched Sasuke back. Sakura gasped trying her best to protect the bridge builder.

I felt helpless as they tried to fight him. We didn't stand a chance. "Run you fools." Kakashi tried again. But we couldn't leave him. We couldn't, I couldn't. No more running, no more hiding. After all the stories my uncle had told me about my father I have learned he was a fighter. He never gave up not once and I am my father's daughter.

I struggled to get up but I did. It looked like Naruto and Sasuke where trying to figure out a plan so I thought maybe I could help by distracting the demon. I took three deep breaths and started a few hand signs myself, ones I learned from my uncle, "Fire style Fire ball Justu!" I yelled. Cupping my hands I blew forward with all my might trying to take attention off the other two to come up with something, anything.

With the demon caught off guard I could only hope I was able to nick him. When the fire was gone so was the water clone. "You are starting to annoy me." I jumped at his voice in my ear. I tried to move but I was to slow and he kicked me forward. I hear a few cracks as I tumbled over myself in an unnatural way. "Suiren!" I heard my name but I could look anywhere but above me. Zabuza grabbed his sword and all I could do was put my hands up to cover my face.

"Hey freak!" this got the demons attention. "Why don't you put this in your book, my name is Naruto Uzamaki and I'm going to be Hokage one day, believe it!" Putting his hands together Naruto yelled, "Shadow clone Justu!" I watched as 25 Naruto's attacked Zabuza. I concentrated chakra to my feet and pushed myself a safe distance away from him.

All the Naruto's where defeated except one who reached in his bag and tossed a large metal item at Sasuke. He tossed what looked like a standard shuriken only much larger. I ran toward the water toward the real demon. The suriken missed the clone and headed straight for the real thing. Concentrating my chakra I ran onto the water. I watched him catch the first one but look wide eyed at the one hidden in the shadow of the other. He dodged it as I thought he would and tossed the one he caught in my direction.

Damn it. If we don't get their sensei out we die. I let go of my chakra and dipped in the water dodging what he threw but I came up and grabbed his free arm. "You are a thorn in my side!" I watched as the dodged Suriken turned into Naruto. There wasn't much I could do but bite down on Zabuza's hand as Naruto threw a kunai at the hand that held their sensei. He let go and I couldn't help but cheer inside.

The demons face was contorted in angry, "You stupid little brats!." He yelled looked down at me still clinging to his hand. I hadn't thought this far through. Didn't think I'd even get this far.

Holding me out he lifted up his big boot and kicked me square in the chest launching me across the river back onto land. My vision became a bit blurry. Damn that hurt. I could see a blur of white hair moving back and forth and I could hear yelling but everything seemed so far away. I tried to stay awake, tried to cling to consciousness but I couldn't. I took a few ragged breaths before I felt a hand grab at me turning me on my back. My violet eyes darted back and forth before everything went black.

Gasping I sat straight up. Probably not a good idea. My core hurt and I grasped at it. I could feel wrapping sunder my shirt. Looking around I was in a bed room. What had happened? One minute I was biting down on that bastards hand and the next I was blacking out. "Good to see you're finally awake." I jumped in my spot and looked at the door way to see Kakashi standing there with crutches. It was good to see a familiar face. "The others will be happy to see you up." On que I heard footsteps rounding the corner.

"You're okay Suiren-chan!" Naruto threw his hands up and came over to my bed side. I smiled softly. I was as okay as I was going to get. "I didn't know you were a ninja." I tightened my muscles and pulled my chakra in at Sakura's remark. I felt pain shoot through my side and I laid back. "You should take it easy. You don't have to conceal your chakra around us." The masked man eyed me with curiosity. "I'm not a ninja." I stated simply.

"But you knew the fire ball Justu and you walked on water. How did you walk on water?" Naruto leaned in hoping I would share my secrets. I shrugged my shoulders. "Just something my uncle taught me. Hiding my chakra I learned through playing hide and seek as a child. I learned to feel chakras in the dark when I was traveling to the land of waves with my uncle for supplies. I learned to control the chakra around my body so walking on water was easy." It was simple enough. "I also learned a few justus from him to because he told me I would have to protect myself when he was gone." My voice became low. I hopped he wasn't gone. I would feel it if he was gone right?

"Who is your uncle?" Kakashi asked and I focused on the hemming of the blanket that was on my lap. "Minori." I knew that wouldn't help. "Surname?" I shook my head. "We can't help you if you don't tell us." Sakura said trying to push me a bit but the truth was I didn't know. I didn't know anything about my life unless my uncle told it to me. Unless it was necessary.

"I don't know. My uncle told me as I got older he would reveal to me what my future was and what my purpose was and why my parents hid me all these years." If he was gone then did that mean that I would never know why my family abandoned me?

I didn't want to talk about it anymore. It was hurting my chest. I felt a ripping feeling in my heart. "I think it's time for you all to go out to do some training." I heard Naruto sigh and Sasuke let out "hn." They had all left the room and I was grateful. "Just rest up Suiren." He smiled under his mask and left as well. I sighed and closed my eyes. I was yet again drained and tired.

I woke up again mouth dry, eyes sore. Blinking a few times I realized I didn't know what time it was. My stomach growled and I glared at it. I longed for my uncle's ramen.

My feet touched the wooded floor and I shivered for a moment. Putting all my weight on my legs I wobbled for a second but seemed alright to stand. Making my way to the door I heard voices behind another door down the hall. Walking to and pushing it open I saw every one sitting around the table eating. When they noticed my presence they looked up.

"Well hello there sleepy head." Kakashi waved and I felt my cheeks heat up. The team sat around the table. Naruto next to Sakura and Sasuke across from the two, Kakashi and the bridge builder on either head of the table. "Suiren- chan come sit next to me." I laughed as the blonde moved a bit but bumped into Sakura who looked like she was going to chew his head off. I took the only open seat next to Sasuke and Kakashi.

"Please eat." The bridge builder said and I bowed my head before grabbing a bit of rice and vegetables. "I owe you all my life so no formalities. Here you are family." I smiled a bit and took a few bites before Naruto started asking Sakura some questions about climbing trees. "You know any other fire justus?" My eyes darted over to the dark haired boy. His silence could be so menacing. He had this strange look behind his dark onyx eyes. "A couple." I said matching his level of eagerness to have a conversation. That being zero.

"Like?" He asked and I noticed the others looked at us talk. I wouldn't call it a conversation really. It was weird like he was forcing himself to talk to me. Could the kid really be that anti-social? Maybe shy? " D-dragon flame." I bit my tongue to stop myself from stuttering. People was something I was not used too. I didn't want to give away all my moves though because even with all we had just went through, I don't know these people, these ninja and at any moment they could turn on me.

"hn" he said shifting a bit in his seat. "I don't know what that means." I said cocking an eyebrow and shoving food in my mouth. Glancing at me and down again he mumbled, "and?" I was taken back, was that not enough? "Probably have to fight me to find out." I said trying to add some humor in my voice even though I was totally serious.

He stiffened a bit before standing up from his seat. "When you're better." He said with a slight smirk before leaving the kitchen and going out the door. "What? He never wants to fight me." Naruto wined crossing his hands over his chest. "What a jerk" he mumbled. "Don't talk about Sasuke like that!" The girl was scary when she was mad. She left a bump the side of a melon on the poor kids head.

They were a pretty entertaining group at least.
