Chapter Five
Third person POV
Hiruzen sighed as he continued stamping and writing, he honestly hated all the paper work. It was really the only bad thing about his job. Looking up, he saw two Anbu members. "Hokage-sama, we found bodies near the north end of the forest. Hiruzen instantly froze. 'Oh, god. He found them.' An old voice full of fatigue seemed to rumble out over the room.
"I want you to assemble two squadrons of Anbu and sent them here."
"Hai, Hokage-sama." The two bowed to their village leader and poofed out of the room.
-oOoOo-
Meanwhile...
Miyuki POV
"Lord Orochimaru... experiment #61 is waking up..." A distant voice said.
I moaned and tied to pry my eyes open. Blinking away the blurriness, I slowly looked around. The walls were plastered with dirt and grime. I was strapped to a metal table, I struggled to get out. The people around me were wearing white lab coats and rubber gloves, there faces covered with black goggles and medical masks.
Tap, tap, tap...tap
I heard the foot falls of the snake-man coming closer.
Tap, tap...tap.
Until he stopped in front of me, his twisted gaze fixed on me like I was an object meant to be played with. "Well it looks like your ready." He motioned to one of his lackeys to bring him something. When the man came back he brought with him a syringe filled with red liquid and handed it to the snake.
"Hold her down." Orochimaru ordered his minions. I fought them with all my might, I trashed like a wild animal. I knew my attempts were useless, but I had to try.
"I said hold her down, you damn idiots!" He took that moment and injected the chemical into my body. I was paralyzed, I couldn't move or speak – or scream. My eyes were wide with horror, and my body was vibrating with the rush of adrenaline that coursed through my veins like fire. The pain burned on, and I endured it in all its agony, with silent tears streaming down my face.
Orochimaru slithered to me, a sadistic grin plastered on his face. "You will serve me well pet..." I feared him and he knew it.

Third person POV
The ANBU members came as their Hokage ordered and waited for their mission. "What I'm about to tell will not leave this room. Understood?" Hiruzen's voice echoed with authority.
"Hai Hokage-sama." Eight emotional void people replied.
"Very well... we are going to the hidden compound of the Kurogawa Clan." He said while looking at the Anbu for any reaction and he wasn't disappointed. Everyone of them stilled, their thoughts running wild. Only one was brave enough to voice what they were thinking. "Hokage-sama, not to be rude but isn't the Kurogawa Clan dead?"
Hiruzen sighed and leaned back on his chair. "In all honesty, I don't know. The Kurogawa compound was always near the densest part of the forest and from the information I received. It's most likely the bodies found were Kurogawa members." The Lord Hokage continued to brief them on their assignment and when the Aubu were about to leave they were surprised that Hiruzen followed them.
"Hokage-sama?" One of the female members exclaimed.
"I'm coming with you, there are somethings I must see for myself." They nodded at his response.
-oOoOo-
The group of ninjas sped through the forest. 'I hope we're not too late.' The Hokage prayed. None of them were ready for what was a head.
The stench of rotting flesh and blood filled the nostrils of the ninja that had gathered just inside the gates. Bodies were strewn around, mutilated in the most horrible way.
"Check for survivors!" The Hokage ordered.
No one moved. They were rooted to the spot, frozen in horror of the scene in front of them. One jonin kunochi stumbled forward only to throw up the contents and faint a while after. Slowly, the rest of the shinobi began to did their work, sealing bodies of the dead into scrolls for later inspection and identification.
"None survived in my area sir."
"None alive here."
"Nothing over h-"
"I found someone! Bring a medic!"
The group rushed to where the body of a woman lay, but before they could reach it. The ninja were intercepted by two red haired blurs. The ANBU reacted quickly and surrounded their leader, they searched the area. Only to see two little twin boys standing between the body of the woman and them.
"You bastards!" Ren spat, while gripping his tekko-kagi tighter. "Haven't you done enough to us!" The other twin exclaimed through his gritted teeth as he raised his katana higher. Both of them attacked the Kohana ninjas. The AUBU were surprised that the young boys could actually keep with them.
They worked as one while fighting. One brother would dance around his opponent, when the other attacked from behind, above or below. The brothers were cornered, Ren silently cursed. Oblivious to the plan slowly turning in Ryuunosake head.
Ren glanced at his brother, at that moment he inwardly grinned. Ryuu had that glint in his eyes, meaning he was plotting something. Ren put away his weapon and waited, confusing the Kohana ninjas. 'I hope this doesn't blow up in our face..' Ryuunosake prayed. He lowered his sword and threw it up to the sky. "Secret Justu: Art of a thousand blades!"
Then out of no where katanas started raining down on them, implanting themselves on the ground. As this happened, Ren did a series of hand signs and both of the brothers disappeared. The katana blades gleaned menacingly in the early morning sun, the ANBU looked front side to side.
"Where are they?"a man with a bear mask wondered.
" I feel chakra coming from the swords...but that's impossible."
"No, I feel it too. There's a high level of chakra..."
Suddenly Ren emerged out of the sword, from behind the closest AUBU. "Take this you scum bags!" And slashed it across the AUBU's back, and disappeared again.
Finally, it all click in the Hokage's mind, 'They sealed themselves into the swords...!' Hiruzen immediately zoomed on one of the blades, 'When they come out of the katanas, we should feel a large amount of chakra being released.'
The Hokage closed his eyes and slowly forced on his surroundings , 'There!' Behind him, Ryuunosake came out and prepared to deal a deadly to the AUBU next to Hiruzen. However the ninja blocked the attack with his own katana.
"Kid, you're pretty good." The man with a wolf mask commented.
"Don't tell me, what I already know!" Ryuu exclaimed, while arrogantly smirking.
Distracted, another AUBU member tackled the young red hair Kurogawa boy, stopping the fight all together. Angered by this Ren ran out and kicked the ninja off his brother. The rest of the AUBU took this opportunity to capture both brothers. Ryuu mentally scolded himself, 'Father was right.. I let my pride control me and got Ren caught.'
-flashback-
The four year old Ren and Ryuu stood in front of a long brown haired man clad in a dark blue haori with a dark red sash and black pants to match, both twins fidgeting from the pressure of their father's blue eyed stare.
"I heard from your sensei that you got into a fight again." The elder Kurogawa stated as he flicked a piece of hair back, coming out of his low pony tail. Young Ryuunosake bravely looked into his father's eyes and said, "It was in my knowledge that you sent us there to learn how to fight."
Their Father raised a fine eye brow at his son's rude remark. "Yes, correct. I sent you there to learn how to fight, not to bad mouth your sensei!"
Ren snorted at his brother, "Serves him right, little prick." He thought out loud. Ryuunosake narrowed his eyes at his twin and looked back at the older man.
"I did not listen to my so called 'sensei', because he is an idiot and a weakling-"
"ENOUGH RYUUNOSAKE! Both of you are the future guardians of the main Kurogawa clan family." Their father crossed his arms and glanced at Ren, who was trying to contain his laughter.
"Ren, you are not without fault, so stop enjoying this. You let Ryuunosake continue his disrespectful behavior, when you should have corrected him!" He said in a disappointed tone.
Ryuunosake turned his head to the side, scowling at his father's lecture. He heard his father's voice get anger. "And you! Are saying if I was weaker than you. You would not obey me."
"I only respect your power father, nothing more." Ryuu boldly answered.
The older male sighed knowing there was every little he could do to change his son's mind. "Very well...but remember every warrior has a weakness, and yours is your pride."
Their father died three months after due to the fact he gave his life to save Lady Hatsumi in an assassination attempt. He learned two things at his father's funeral, first that he loved his father very much and will always regret on never telling him. Second, sooner or later. No matter how strong you are you'll end up in the same place as everyone else in the end...in the dirt
-oOoOo-
Ryuunosake was brought back to the present with the sounds of a hagged cough. Ren pushed the AUBU of him and ran to the body of Lady Hatsumi.
"Lady Hatsumi! Get out of the way!" He screamed at the AUBU. Ryuu rushed after his worried brother. Hiruzen gazed at the half dead woman, and approached the three Kurogawa members. "Boys let the medics help her..." he gently said as he put his hand on the distrot* boy's shoulder.
"SHUT UP! AND LEAVE US ALONE!" Ren angrily yelled. "Silence.. and listen.." A throaty voice commanded. Hatsumi felt weak, she tried to speak again. However the only thing that came out coughs accompanied blood. She moved her eyes to the Hokage, knowing her time on earth was almost finished. "...find and protect her...she's so fragile and...lonely.." The Lady of the Kurogawa clan begged Hiruzen with her last bit of her strength.
"Find who, Milady?!" Ren questioned while Ryuunosake's eyes flashed in recognition, he swiftly looked around and quietly mumbled a name.
"What!?" His counter part asked.
"Miyuki...where's Miyuki!?"
-oOoOo-
Miyuki POV
Nothing. I did nothing when they chained me to the wall of a cold dark cell. Nothing, when they pulled me out of it and brought me to him. Nothing... As they put more chemicals into me. Nothing...when I was thrown back in the dark cell like a used rag doll.
'I-I think they broke me..'
-oOoOo-
A/N: Lady Hatsumi is dead and so is everyone else in the Kurogawa clan except for Ren, Ryuunosake and Miyuki. Also I'm going to do the flashbacks in third person.
Haori is basically a kimono jacket that's about mid- thigh long. But lets pretend for the sake of the story that you can wear it as a shirt with a sash.
Review please! (´･ω･')
