Chapter 3

Kyou finally was on her own. But it wasn't as fun as she first thought it would be. She had to provide food, shelter, and clothing for herself. She had to be independent. Good thing Mogu taught her ninja justus and how to defend herself. But still she was lonely. In four short months she went from a happy 6 year old with friends and a family to a child that was forced to grow up due to tragedy. Deep down she missed the days she could walk through the forest so careless. Now, she listened with each step she took she was aware of possible danger from anywhere. Unfortunately there was danger everywhere.

Four years; this was how long Kyou was on her own stealing. She stole everything. From clothes to valuables. And more often than not she would get in trouble with a village and be in jail for a short time. But eventually she would escape or they would let her go. She would make friends with someone for maybe a few days, then would leave secretly in fear of being hurt. she lived a lonely life for a child. But there was always that voice. The deep growl telling her steal, hurt, and even kill...

Kyou is now eleven. Her skills have developed greatly. She is very talented with ice jutsus. She has matured but she is still a child. Kyou has a longing for a friend. A real friend. Not the deep growling voice in her head.

Kyou was sitting in a tree inspecting a diamond ring she had just stole from a jewelry shop. "Beautiful...ha! That old man DIDNT even notice I took his ring." "I'm so bored...hey I know what I can do!"

Kyou got up then put the ring in her side pocket of her backpack. Then starting running through the trees. Kyou was heading to Konoha.

"I've wanted to do this for so long" Kyou finally was at the cliff near the Hokage faces. "Who are these people and why are their faces carved up here?"

Kyou jumped on the first hokage's head. "Wow...the view is ..just perfect." Kyou just stands looking at the view.

"Hey get off there! Hello? Get down!" A man with a green vest and a headband around his head was yelling at Kyou.

Kyou turned around and looked at the man yelling at her. From looking at him there was no doubt in her mind, he was a ninja. "Uh oh.." Kyou said sheepishly.

Kyou then started to run to the second Hokage's rock face head as the man yelled,"Stop! Now!"

Thats when two more ninja appeared. This definitely wasn't good. Kyou jumped onto the second Hokage's rock head as a kunai scraped the ground behind her. They almost hit her! She started to run then jumped onto the third Hokage's head. They threw a few more kunai that she dodged. But one still barely grazed the back of her head. They were going to get her!

Kyou then jumped off the third's head and onto the cliff that the heads were carved into. And began to run into the nearby forest. She then took out four kunai with paper bombs attached and said,"How about this? Leaf ninja." Then she did a 360 while throwing the kunai with the paper bombs on them. As she landed back on the ground she started to run again as explosions rang in her ear.

The three leaf ninja dodged easily. One of them said,"isn't she just a kid? She can't be more then ten. And she's using paper bombs!"

Kyo thought she lost them then slowed down In a small clearing the in the forest. Then from within the bushes a kunai with a string tied onto it wrapped around Kyou's ankle. She fell down on her stomach. She grabbed a kunai from her bag and cut the string. She stood up with the kunai up on the defensive. She had to fight. There was no other way.

One of the male ninjas stepped out of the bushes. Kyou was sweating so bad. Why was she so scared? It's just ninjas. But she has never fought really skilled ninja. All the "ninjas" she fought were just vigilante wanna bes. "Okay I'm going to tell you once. Come with us now, or it's going to be painful," yelled one of the ninja.

"No." Kyou had a witty response she was going to say but she was just so nervous.

"well, I gave you a chance." The male ninja said then he moved. He was as quick as lightening. Kyou didn't know what to do she just put her hands up over her face, bracing for impact. But when she put her hands up a wall of ice appeared. The male ninja was stuck in the ice.

"Ha beat that!" Kyou yelled. She couldnt believe it! She was ready for this. She did somehand signs and sent sharp ice shards at the ninja. Then a ninja came up from behind and it became a battle of taijutsu. He had the upper hand because he was stronger but she was faster. She couldn't believe it. She may actually win this. How cool would it be if she got away?

She jumped backwards away from the ninja to catch her breath. Then she had to dodge an assault of kunai. She did some more hand signs and a wall of ice merged from the ground. "Hey her hand signs are weird...they are different everytime," one of the male ninja said.

Kyou was about to pull out more paper bombs then a kunai slit open her backpack. As she was distracted one of the ninja grabbed her shoulder and threw her to the ground. The dust they kicked up started to settle. Kyou started to cough cause her face was in the dirt. "Hey get my face out of the dirt." Kyou mumbled into the dirt.

"Ha you thought you would get away." One of male ninja said while picking Kyou up from the dirt. "You are so lucky. you get to be interviewed by Morino Ibiki."

"By the sarcasm in your voice, Im guessing im not that lucky." Kyou said then she tried to blow her long brown hair out of her face.

The three male ninja and Kyou started to walk back to Konoha.
