Blaze and burn, let vengence go.
Chapter 2:
"Naruto don't insult Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said annoyed. Sasuke rolled his onyx eyes. Then Kakashi appeared.
"Sorry I got lost on the path of life." He said his only eye giving hints of a smile. The silver haired jounin was almost a total enigma. He wore a mask over the lower part of his face and his headband was pulled over his left eye. That eye they had discovered sometime ago held the sharigan. Sasuke's clan were the ones who held that particular kekkai genkai. How kakashi got it only he knew. He wasn't willing to tell anyone either.
"Liar!" Naruto and Sakura shouted angrily. Kakashi merely kept grinning.
"Well team we have a mission. I don't know how long it'll take either. We'll be going to moerugakure." He said.
"Hiding in flames?" Sakura asked. Kakashi nodded. The village was small and relatively quiet. They never had many ninja and were often taking smaller low ranked mission that were given to them by surrounding countries.
"Yes, we have to go escort one of their best shinobi here. The leader of the village feels that the best use of said shinobis' talents lie here in Konoha were they can get more missions. They'll be a temporary resident of konoha it appears." Kakashi explained.
"When do we leave?" Naruto asked.
"In two hours. Go get your things. Then meet me at the gate." He said disappearing. This would be interesting. Even if moerugakure wasn't well known anyone in the area with a sense of curiousity knew the rumors of how they specialized in fire jutsu. Two hours later everyone met at the gate. They travelled east towards the deeper parts of fire country. It took two days to reach the village. Once there they were greeted by a couple guards.
"Name and buisness?" One asked.
"We are the shinobi sent from konoha to escort Kai-dono." Kakashi said. The guards nodded and one led the way. They arrived at a beautiful manor and the guard knocked on the door before entering.
"Kai-dono! The Konoha Shinobi are here!" He called. A figure walked up dressed in loose black clothing. Long red hair was in a high ponytail with bangs hiding emerald eyes. They wore a mask over the lower half of their face, a cloak, and similar things.
"Shall we go?" Kakashi asked. Kai nodded and they started walking.
"Good luck and stay safe Kai-dono." The guard said with a smile. Kai nodded and gave the guard a hug. As they got out of the village kakashi turned serious.
"Moeru is in fact at war with Kusa because the grass believe they can take out smaller villages ad get away with it. Kai here is the last of the prominent Hohana clan." He said. Suddenly several grass nin appeared. Before anyone could move they were lit ablaze. All the konoha nin turned to Kai to see their hands still in the tiger sign and brows knit in aggrivation. Sasuke was amazaed. The clan name brought out memories he'd thought nothing about in years. A small red haired girl with forest green eyes. Smiling, laughing, training, friends, and fun. The name Kurai flashed across his mind as he remembered his best friend in the years prior to the death of his clan. As far as he knew Itachi had killed her as well. He hadn't seen or heard from her in six years and this person reminded him of her. It took them a shorter amount of time to reach Konoha thanks to the fact that they could move more quickly. Once in the village Kakashi dismissed himself to go report to the hokage and Kai left. It was assumed that the later had things to do apon arrival.
"How was the trip Kai?" Sarutobi asked the moeru resident.
"Boring and pointless." Kai replied in a voice decidingly female. Sandaime laughed as a cloak was set across a chair, a mask was pulled down and a coat was put by the cloak to reveal a decidingly female figure. Kakashi had made his report and left.
"You know full well you couldn't stay home, seeing as how your all that's left." He said. She shrugged.
"Yeah I know. I just miss everyone already." She said. "I'm glad you sent Sasuke. It was good to see him." He nodded. The hohana clan were known for few things except their fire jutsu and the women's ability to make beautiful flowers arrangements.
"Do you need a place to stay?" He asked. She nodded as she got things from a pack.
"Yeah I do. Thanks for the extra supplies by the way. That last raid really messed things up." She said with a smirk. She let her hair loose and it fell to her knees then put her shuriken away.
"Then i'm sure Sasuke won't mind letting you stay. He has room." Sarutobi said with a slight smile. Kai shook her head.
"Your brilliant old man. So brilliant it's scary." She said as she gathered her things. She walked out of the hokage tower and off to the uchiha manor. Sasuke was suprised to see a red haired girl at his door two hours later.
"Who're you?" He asked.
"Hohana Kai." She said with a smirk. "Sandaime-sama has requested that I stay with you until I can find my own place." He sighed and let her in. He didn't particularly like the company but if a girl was staying at his place then maybe the fangirls would stay away.
"Did you know anyone named Kurai in your clan?" He asked. She chuckled.
"Lady Kurai? Yes. She was a very powerful shinobi for her age. However when the war started..." Kai stopped. Sasuke stopped walking and Kai bumpd into him.
"What happened to her?" He asked.
"No one knows. She never returned to from a visit here. I was hoping to either find her or discover what happened. Some suspected that Kusa got her since the war started just prior to that." Kai said. Sasuke indicated a room she could stay in and disappeared into another. She put her things away and frowned then walked outside to train. Sasuke punched his wall as soon as the door closed behind him. Now he had another reason to kill Itachi. The man had gone too far. First their entire clan then an innocent girl.
"I swear Itachi that your going down." He whispered. He was amazed that Kai looked so much like Kurai. He figured that like many of the clans that many members held similar traits. Their eyes were different hues and Kai had an attitude that radiated killer intent in battle. The next day he found Kai already in the kitchen cooking. She set a plate out for him and he gave it a taste. Instantly he was amazed. She'd made fried rice with eggs, ham, spices, and vegetable so it made a good breakfast. She got herself some and sat down.
"How old are you Sasuke-kun?" She asked.
"Twelve. Yourself?" He asked.
"Thirteen. A year older then you." She said. "I was infact born three days after Kurai-dono." He was amazed. "I also heard you got one of her glass orbs one day. How is it?" She asked.
