to Animestar001 and XiaBubbleQueen, thank you so much for reading the prologue! Hope you like this one...!


Yes! thought Reiyka as she neared the huge walls of sand, a sign that this was the village she was aiming for. No one would think to look for me here. She let the slab of tinted glass fall to the ground. She brought her hands together quickly, and the shield suddenly disintegrated into very tiny pieces, almost dust-like or sand-like particles. She prepared to walk inside.

"Where do you think you're going?" said a man's voice. Uh-oh, thought Reiyka. Suna sentries came flying down at her. Reiyka, nervous, remained silent. They must not know!

One guy looked at the forehead protector on her waist. "There's nothing on it!" he whispered. Reikya noticed he was looking. Oh no, she thought. Have to act fast! She started to run for it.

"Stop her!" More sentries appeared, throwing kunais at her. They stopped in their tracks, bewildered, when Reiyka drew a wall of sand and turned it to glass, forcing their kunais to ricochet, leaving only minute cracks on it.

"What the–" said the one who saw her forehead protector. "I'd better inform Baki and Kankurou!" With that, he left.

Huh, thought Reiyka, seeing him leave. Where's he going? Reiyka opened her bag and retrieved glass kunais. They appeared to be filled with liquid. Focusing her chakra, she threw several at them. They sped at the air, scorching. As it hit, she brought her hands together, making them explode into fire.

"Yes!" cried Reiyka, ecstatic to have succeeded with her first fight. A lot of the sentries lay on the ground, unconscious. The gas-filled glass kunais were a great invention.

"Sir, there's trouble at the gate." Baki turned his head at the ninja, interrupted. Kankurou stopped what he was doing and eavesdropped.

"What is it?" said Baki angrily. "You fools! Your weakness is a shame to the Kazekage."

"Forgive us, sir. It's nothing we've seen before. A girl is trying to gain entrance into the village, she utilizes-"

"Wait just a minute," started Kankurou. Baki rolled his eyes, feeling very ashamed. "You're telling me that a GIRL is-"

The ninja turned his attention to Kankurou. "Sir, she utilizes very strange weapons. And it seems like she is able to control sand. We are not able to identify what village she's from."

"How can that be?" yelled Baki.

"There isn't an engraving on her forehead protector!" said the ninja, bowing lower and lower. I'll get kicked out for sure, he thought. "It was made of glass!"

"Glass?" said Baki, his tone changing. Kankurou stared at his mentor, why did his reaction change like that? "Affirmative. I… uh… Let's go." He and the ninja left.

"What the… what's going on?!" said Kankurou, confused. He followed suit. He jumped on rooftops, trying to catch up with them. He saw Gaara on the terrace of his office, apparently looking at Baki and the ninja run off.

"What's the matter?" asked Gaara as Kankurou stopped and landed on the ledge.

"Trouble at the gates, unknown ninja." he replied.

"Hmm," said Gaara, looking at the entrance walls. His office building was the tallest in the village.

"They said that the ninja could control sand," said Kakurou, leaping away.

Gaara's eyes widened, then relaxed. But I'm the only one who knows the technique… he thought to himself. Maybe I should check it out. He walked away, unhurriedly.


"I'm sorry! I really didn't want to fight!" said Reiyka to the slumped ninjas. She stepped over them carefully. Even though she was happy she won, she really didn't want to hurt anyone.

"Hold it right there." Baki stepped into the scene, blocking her path. Reiyka stopped, breathless. She saw his eyes widen in shock as he saw his forehead protector. Did he know? she thought. Another guy in a black hooded suit appeared, with red face paint.

Kankurou blushed. He had never seen a more pretty ninja. But she did look foreign.

"Forgive me intro mistreating your ninjas." She said, standing straight. The way she said it made it feel poised. "I didn't mean to, they left me no choice."

"What do you think you're doing?" said Baki. In a flash, he was behind her, cuffing her hands behind her back. "You shouldn't be here," he told Reiyka.

"Baki, what are you saying?" began Kankurou, but what happened next happened very fast.

Reiyka realized that the cuffs were made of thick sand. This required more energy, she sensed. She therefore concentrated all her chakra/thermal energy on her forearms. As Baki held her, the cuffs slowly turned to molten glass. She was unaffected by the heat (because of her chakra) but Baki, on the other hand, let go of her, yelling. Kankurou rushed to help him, and Reiyka, with her hands still locked, ran.

She was getting really tired. Here comes the tricky part, she thought nervously. As she was still running, she stopped the flow of chakra on her hands, causing the molten glass to suddenly seize up and cool down. Reiyka felt the heat from it as it started to crack. She forced her hands apart, and just as she was breaking free, she collided into something. She fell on her back, wrenching her hands in pain.
