"Meet my daughter. Riku, Sora." The two teenage twin boys looked curiously as a small girl walked up to them. She was like a doll. Her face with no imperfections. They looked stunned and wide-eyed at the doll-like little girl. She looked up at them with broken eyes and a small emotionless smile forms on her red lips. They soon realize the wounds and bruises on her body and closed their eyes. They soon understood the reason for that smile. Those piercing eyes. "Get along with them Rin." Ah, her name is Rin. It fits her. Her dark eyes. Her cold smile. They thought as her eyes traced her father's retreating figure with such hatred that it shocked them.

Riku grins ear to ear, while Sora glares with a scowl. They were once so similar. Yet relationships soon turn dull and distant. "Hello! I don't think I introduced myself to you guys! My name's Riku! And," He points to Sora. "That's my younger brother Sora!"

This guy is OLDER than THAT guy? Everyone thought. "Naruto. Gaara. Shikamaru. Temari. Catch up to Rin." Everyone looks at Seina in surprise. "Me and Hinata can take them. Right Hinata?" Hinata's eyes sharpen and she nods.

"But-" Shikamaru begins.

"GO!" Seina yells, Hinata and her, side by side, both looking determined and strong. "We can handle them." Temari smiles cockingly, understanding. Naruto and Gaara nod a bit, leaving before them.

"Let's go. They can do it." Shikamaru shrugs a bit, and Temari and him leave too.

"Oops…we let the four of them escape." Riku comments unhelpfully.

"Riku. Just do your thing." Sora's eyebrow twitching with impatience. Riku nods, his eyes closing. He does a series of complicated hand signals then put his hand, palm first, against the ground.

"Kenishde! Trench clutches!" Riku screams with easiness and smoothness. Soon a crack forms on the ground, going forward at a fast pace, heading toward the direction the others went. He smiles, refreshed in a way. "Ah. Done Sora."

"Good boy Riku." Riku smiles bigly at his praise like a dog. Sora locks his eyes on the Anbu sign on Seina's shoulder. Riku looks sharply at Hinata, looking into her pure white eyes with a different emotion. Sadness? Seriousness? Hinata couldn't tell. "Now. We don't have time to play with you kids so come at us." Seina and Hinata nod at each other and they race forward, taking in their opponent.

The crack soon reaches to Temari and Shikamaru. Shikamaru eyes sharpen as he feels a rumbling coming from the ground. He sees the crack and pushes Temari out but the land forms a hand and grabs onto Temari's leg. "Temari! Shikamaru!" Naruto screamed, horrified by the ugly scene. Shikamaru falls through the now split open ground, soon Temari follows as the hand releases her into the dark abyss.

"GO GAARA! NARUTO!" Temari's far away screams echoed, reaching them. Naruto grits his teeth and goes off, Gaara following behind him.

Sora bends unbelievably flexibly, his bones cracking back to their original place as he straightens up. He rolls one shoulder, rubbing it. Riku's area had rocks pointed up, as you follow it, you see Hinata there, breathing hard. Seina looks disgustingly at Sora, cringing a bit at the sound of his bones. She has her hands up in an offensive stance while Hinata soon, yet again, charges forward. Her Baykugan straining her eyes as she looks at the ground infront of her. She dodges most of them, but one forms right under her. She jumps, flipping closer to Riku. Seina begins to throw fast punches and swift kicks yet they all miss. She grits her teeth and plants her feet to the ground and powers her arm up then punches him straight in the face.

But he doesn't slide back, instead his head had bent backward to meet his back. Seina looks in horror and frustration, jumping back as his head returned to its original position. She grits her teeth as her eyebrows scrunch together, her anger blazing in her eyes. "What's wrong? You ganna give up? Who knew the Anbu let anyone in-" Seina sends a punch to his chin, sending him back for the first time. Her eyes terrifying and glaring as she begins to cause more damage.

"I earned that spot!" Seina yells, sending a kick to his stomach, he moves his stomach back with interest forming in his eyes.

"If that's true then prove it!" His cold eyes mocking her. Like all the others. They didn't believe she could support her mother. They didn't believe she could be this strong. They didn't believe in her at all.

"You're pretty good!" Riku yells, smiling. He stands there, his words honest. "But are you good enough?" Hinata eyes sadden, memories of her father replaying in her mind.

"Don't be a nuisance to others." His voice resounds in her head. Then Naruto's big grin and powerful words play in her head, she regains her determination.

Temari digs her fan deep in the tall, thin trench, trying to climb up, seeing any weaknesses. She watches Shikamaru sit criss-cross, his hands positioned in that way only when he is thinking deeply. "Any ideas crybaby?" Shikamaru ignores her, still not opening his eyes. She rolls her eyes and begins to work strategies in her head, one after another entering quickly in her mind. She leaned against one of the two walls, her eyes closed, thinking deeply. The trench is about a hundred feet deep. We have a few weapons. We barely have any light. We don't have much options. She opens on eye, glancing at Shikamaru. So what are we going to do crybaby?

Riku smiles, something hidden behind his eyes. Hinata soon gets closer and closer, yet with one hit she got sent back to where she was before. "Oh come on. You got to do better than that!" Soon he does another multiple hand signals, this one less complicated. "A thousand daggers!" a thousand daggers carved from rocks were now aimed at Hinata, her eyes grew wide. She tries to deflect them but fails as multiple hit her in pressure points, she falls to the floor bloody, barely clinging to consciousness. "I thought you were stronger than this…guess you aren't her after all." He barely whispers as his hair covers his eyes.

Seina breathes hard, trying to calm her breathe, she glares at Sora. He had a couple of wounds on his body, a few big bruises on his face. Why isn't he going down yet?" Seina thought, running her hand through her messed up hair. Her chakra slowly diminishing, she traces Sora for any weaknesses, any unusually. Nothing. He hides it too well for her bare eyes. She curses under her breathe, her anger blazing.

"I will protect you." Seina holds a woman's skinny hand tightly. "I promise." The woman had long blue hair that was now mostly white, her tired eyes a beautiful dark purple. She smiles weakly, her figure fragile and skinny.

"I know. I love you my precious daughter." The woman smiles, squeezing Seina's hand tightly. "Forever and always." Seina's eyes fill with pain and sadness but she kisses her mom on the forehead.

"Me too."

Seina runs faster and swifter to Sora but a big sharp rock comes from below, her eyes wide, she tries to dodge, only letting it stab her leg badly. She grits her teeth in pain and rolls over unwillingly next to Hinata, her body lifeless as it stops near Hinata. I didn't see it at all. Damn it! She pounds the floor with a fist, her eyes shooting to the badly injured Hinata.

"This was boring." Sora commented, walking to Riku.

"I disagree. This was pretty fun." As they begin to give the final blow, Hinata begins to shake. Rin. Rin's smiling face shows up in her mind. She slowly tries to push herself up, surprising everyone. She weakly stands up, blood running down her face. She wipes her mouth slowly, sadness and determination overflowing in her white eyes with that hint of lilac in them.

"She…is…our…friend." Hinata says weakly, trying her best to stay steady. "She is…my…precious…friend." Hinata's hair covers her eyes. She shakingly puts her hands together, forming a hand sign. "She…saved…me…She…was…like…the…sun…to…me." Tears stream down her face, her teeth gritted.

Little Hinata had a cloth wrapped around her mouth, her eyes filled with fear. She had her hands tied together at the back of her back. She tries to scream, but it's muffled. 'SOMEONE. HELP!' Hinata thought as she looked at the too bright sun, her eyes soon filling with tears.

"Now…let's see those precious eyes of yours." An evil voice snickered as his hand reached for her, she begins to tremble a bit, she closed her eyes shut. "Open your eyes you little brat-" The man gasped as a heavy weight sent him to the ground. A young face smiled evilly. The young face headed to Hinata, the smile turning warmer. "You little bitch!" The man growled as his body ached.

"Fai. Goku. Get those bastards a taste of their own medicine." The young face yelled, her gentle voice ringing in Hinata's ears. The girl comes face to face to the crouching Hinata, she smiles a bit. "It's ok. You're safe now." Hinata opens her eyes, hope filling her scared eyes.

"R-really?" The black haired girl blinks a bit with a blank face. Her eyes a warm and beautiful ice-blue. She gives a big, sweet smile and says with a voice as sweet as honey.

"Really." Hinata's eyes widen at the sight of that confident warm smile, sending tears to run down her face. The little girl hugs 8 year old Hinata with such reassurance it made Hinata cry more. "My name's Rin." Hinata looked at blurry Rin as tears continued to spill from her eyes. "And those two idiots over there who are enjoying themselves are Fai and Goku. The shorter one Fai, the taller one Goku. Nice to meet you." The boys come behind Rin, all three of them still blurry. But their big smiles are still shown. "You're really cute. I always wanted a friend that isn't a guy. Unfortunately I'm stuck with these two idiots." Her words were poison and sharp but they were all lies. Atleast the last part. And Hinata could tell.

"M-m-my name's H-h-hinata. N-n-nice to m-m-meet you t-t-too." Hinata stutters, feeling intimidated yet grateful to the three of them. Rin laughs and helps Hinata up, sending a small cute smile to Hinata's face.

"Your eyes… you're from the Hyuga clam right?" Hinata nods a bit hesitantly. "I have a medical ninja named Emi who's from the Hyuga clan. She's a real nice teacher, she has similar eyes as you. A beautiful white with a hint of lavender…her smile really is beautiful."

"Rin. We have to go. Meet up with you later?" said a small, warm boy voice.

"Yah. See you guys soon." The two boys nod and run off, leaving Rin and Hinata alone.

"W-w-where did they go?" Hinata asked, wiping her tears, finally clearly seeing Rin. Rin's eyes sadden yet were sharp with seriousness.

"If I told you…you'd be involved. And if you're involved, you will die. And I don't want you to die. Understand?" Hinata seemed awed at Rin, nodding a bit. Rin smiles with closed eyes, but it seemed she wasn't really smiling. "Good. See ya around." She ruffles Hinata's hair a bit then heads after her teammates, leaving Hinata with a memory of her strong big grin.

"Rin…" 'She was pretty and cool. And most of all, strong. I wish I was like her…Then maybe I could talk to Naruto…'

"Baykugan!" Her eyes strained, she looks for Sora and Riku's weak points. Seina smiles at the determined Hinata. Seina struggles to put pressure on her bleeding thigh, she tears a piece of her skirt off to tie it around her thigh wound. She gets up unsteadily but regains her balance. She looks at Hinata, Hinata looks back at her. They nod with a mutual understanding. They get in offense stance, determination burning in their eyes. Sora and Riku seemed astonished a bit, impressed at their determination.

"Bring it on." The twins say in sync with each a smile of their own. Attack. Let the real battle begin.

Shikamaru opened his eyes, his shaped hand uncoiling. He stands up, his eyes tracing to the endless wall of rocks. "I got a plan."

"Finally." Temari croaked, cracking her knuckles.

"But it's risky." Temari smirks.

"And?" Shikamaru shakes his head, a smile on his face. "Let's hear it."

Both parties were bloody and breathing heavily. They stood far apart, all of them looking as if they could pass out any minute now. "Sora…now?" Riku asked, his breath uneven.

"Yah." He matched his twin as they both grabbed a kunai. They edge it closer to their face, sending the girls guards up. But nothing could have prepared them for this. The twins stabbed their eye. Riku his left, Sora his right. They stare dumbfounded and shocked. They show no sign of pain as pools of blood spill down their face, it's as if they are calmer when they did this then when they were healthy.

"Master. Why did you send the twins out? They couldn't be much help-" asked Aden.

"They aren't as useless as everyone thinks. It may seem that they are cold and distant from each other but actually they are inseparable." Master replied bitterly as if Aden had insulted him.

"Really? Wouldn't have guessed…" Aden mumbled in disbelief.

"Yes. That is why they are one of my loyal servants. They are indeed strong. They had developed their own technique. A very powerful technique that has no flaws. It won't be too long now." Said master confidently, not worrying. "They won't disappoint me."

"And Hime-sama?" Aden questioned.

"Oh, ya she's there too. Well, let's just say that I have no expectations for her. No pride in her." Aden stood frozen, hearing his cold ruthless words about his own daughter. "I wonder if she will finally impress me with this mission. That is, if she fulfills it. But that's impossible. She is just a weakling." Master chuckled darkly, sending Aden to bow again and leave. "Let us see how strong you really are Rin."
