Chapter 7
Two shinobi girls arrived at the Whitewater Valley, the place they grew up together. One of the girls jumped into the water, while the other just sat down on the edge near the water. It was a sunny day, a perfect day to go swimming. So the shinobi decided to join her sister in the water. She walked into the water and dived in and swam deeper and deeper underwater.
"Kasumi!" She heard her name above the water.
Kasumi swam up to the surface to catch her breath and looked around, trying to find her sister.
"Over here Kas!" Her sister called out to her.
"Ayane, where are you?" She asked as she turned to see Ayane looking down into the water.
"I was looking for dinner..Look!" Ayane said pointing down in the crystal water, where several fish were swimming together.
"I bet I can catch more fish than you." Kasumi teased as she tried to grab multiple fish at once. But everyone she caught managed to slip away from her grasp.
"Pssh, please. The fish hate you! Watch the skilled kunoichi." Ayane told her as she grabbed a single fish from the water. She held it as tight as she could until the fish stopped flopping. "See." She said walking back to the ground with the fish in her hand.
"Of course you caught one. You're a killer kunoichi..Hayate trains you to kill and never fail. Unless that's the Hajimon style, right?" Kasumi asked as she followed her sister out the water.
Ayane stopped in her tracks and turned to face Kasumi, giving her a cold stare.
"What?" Kasumi asked, confused as to why Ayane suddenly was annoyed of her.
"But you on the other hand, don't want to defend yourself. You think Master Ryu would always be there to protect you. Someday you would be on your own and he won't be there for you anymore. Us, Hajimon, do everything for ourselves. You defend yourself in any situation. You would never be skilled as me, but the funny thing is that we don't kill for fun. Unless that's what you want me to do." Ayane told her getting annoyed.
"Ayane...how could you say that? I defended myself from my family, my clan, Hayate, and especially you. Haya-" Kasumi was then cut off by getting a hard slap across her face by Ayane.
Kasumi fell on the ground, grasping her stinging cheek. She then looked up to see Ayane giving her an intense stare.
"You abandoned your clan! You deserved to die by me Kasumi!.." Ayane paused and stood in her fighting position. "Master Ryu isn't here for you anymore." She continued.
The shinobi then stood up to face her sister. "Hayabusa doesn't need to protect me anymore. Don't make me do this to you Ayane." She said as she too got in her fighting position. "But I will if I must." Kasumi finished as Ayane tried to kick her in the head, which was blocked by Kasumi's hand.
"I will not lose to you." Ayane said as Kasumi jumped over her and front kicked her in the stomach. Ayane fell to the ground grasping her stomach in pain. The kunoichi got up quickly and ran over to the shinobi. Kasumi then disappeared into cherry blossoms and reappeared behind Ayane, which she reacted quick right before Kasumi had the chance to perform her Torn Sky Blast technique. She then flipped backwards, which caused Kasumi getting kicked in the chin. Kasumi groaned and ran towards Ayane then disappeared in a flash and appeared besides her. She then kicked Ayane several times and then jumped and landed on top of Ayane's shoulders. Kasumi then flipped forwards, along with Ayane. Ayane cursed under her breath as she recovered from her attack. Kasumi then walked over to her sister, not letting her guard down.
"Ayane..why?" Kasumi asked. The kunoichi slowly stood up to face her sister. Blood started to fall from her nose and dirt covered her black ninja attire. Ayane then kicked her in the stomach and jumped over Kasumi. She then grabbed Kasumi's head in between her legs and flipped her over. She got up and started to attack Ayane once more.
The fight lasted several minutes until Ayane fell against a large tree branch. Kasumi panted heavily as she stared her down. Ayane groaned in pain and tried to get up from Kasumi's strong Torn Sky Blast attack. She then quickly fell to her knees and grasped the dirt around her.
Kasumi then walked over to Ayane and gave her a worried expression.
"J-just leave me alone..okay?!" Ayane yelled at her.
Kasumi opened her mouth to say something, then quickly closed it since she didn't have the confidence to say it in front of her sister right now.
She nodded and turned her back towards the defeated kunoichi.
"I'm sorry.." Kasumi's voice faded as she disappeared leaving behind a trail of pink cherry blossoms.
Ayane then took out one of her kunai and threw it over where a far tree stood. The kunai stabbed itself into the tree into it's middle section.
"How did I lose to her? Damn it!" Ayane said under her breath. She then got up from the ground and wiped her bloody nose against her hand.
Ayane then laughed to herself and gave a heavily sigh.
"Great..I'm playing my role again." She said and rolled her eyes. She then looked around Whitewater Valley and saw the damage they made during their fight. Ayane smirked with delight and disappeared leaving behind purple Irish petals.
The Mugen Tenshin clan leader arrived at Germany with a brown haired girl in his arms. He then walked over towards her hotel room and put her down as he was in front of her door.
"My trip to Japan didn't turn out the way I planned.." Hitomi paused as she got her keys out of her pocket. "But it was very interesting." She told him.
"I'm sorry about this Hitomi. The attacks against my clan and you..I should be your favorite right now." Hayate said and turned away from the girl. She then grabbed his arm to stop him.
"Hayate, I know this was a very rough trip, but my favorite part of it was how I spent it with you." She explained and smiled at him. Hayate then slightly smiled at the girl in return. "Plus..I got the hang of these." Hitomi said as she took one swords off it's sheath ad showed it to Hayate.
"Be careful with those," Hayate paused and took the sword away from her. "I don't want you to use them unless you're in real danger." He told her and placed her sword on one of the empty sheaths on his back.
"Hey! I wanted to keep that! Anyways, how can you not trust me with them? I used knives when you aren't around, you know." Hitomi exclaimed getting annoyed since he was treating her like his little sister.
"I know you have Hitomi, but using swords is different from using knives." Hayate explained.
"How? It's basically the same."
"You would have to be very skilled to learn how to use swords. Knives is just a very common weapon everyone uses. Using a sword is very different from using knives Hitomi."
Hitomi rolled her eyes and sighed at him. She then turned around and unlocked her door.
"Okay, well see you later Hayate." She said in an annoyed tone of voice.
She started to walk inside, but then he reappeared in front of her so he could be face to face with her.
"Look, when you come back to Japan I'll teach you how to properly use these swords. Then I won't be so overprotective." He said looking into her crystal baby blue eyes.
Hitomi slightly smiled and nodded. "I would love that."
"Come inside? Why don't you get comfortable while I make something for us to eat?" She asked him.
Suddenly, Hayate closed the door and pushed her up against the wall.
"I already have something to snack on while I wait." He said and started the kiss and bite parts of her neck. Soft moans escaped her lips as he started to strip off Hitomi's ninja gear. "Mmm, Hayate..please don't stop." She moaned and pressed her lips against his. She then placed her hand where his manhood was and started stroking it from the outside, which caused Hayate to give a loud and long moan.
After several minutes, there was a sudden knock at the door.
"Hayate! It's Momiji, we need to find Master Ryu!"
