Chapter 7
Hiashi paced back and forth angrily in his study.
"Father, please calm down before you stress your heart. " Hanabi told her father sternly.
"Calm down!… that…that incompetent damn female! She failed and now I have a disgusting, bug loving, Aburame in my home. This is a disaster… damn that woman!" He screamed slamming both his fists on the desk.
"You know old man it isn't nice to talk about people behind there back." Hiashi and Hanabi both jumped at the voice. Turning to the window their pale eyes falling on the dark haired ninja, casually lying in the open window sill. A kunai swinging around on her index finger.
"What the hell do you think you are doing showing up here? Have you lost your mind woman?" He screamed with rage.
"Calm down old man, no one knows I'm here." She dropped down from the window ledge, Her hips swaying seductively, her dark emerald green eyes looking over the richly decorated study.
"Nice place," she smirked.
"You truly have lost your mind… this house is filled with Hyuga clan members. Did you forget we carry the power of the byakugan? What if someone sees you?"
Shaking her head she laughed. "Listen old man your little eye jutsu is worthless on me. Didn't you realize that the night we met? I am an Genzou Manako. My bloodline gifts disguise my chakra and presence from your byakugan and the rest of these silly Konoha ninja's." She smirked.
"That's impossible! That clan died years ago…my father and I made… never mind. "Hiashi cutting himself off shaking his head." Trust me, the Genzou Manako Clan are all dead."
"Well, sorry to disappoint you old man but one did survive…me." Her mind began to drift off to that horrible night.
She was only six years old when she was awoken by sounds of screaming. Running to her parent's room she saw nothing but walls of flames pressing towards her. Smoke choking the air from her small lungs. The only thing she could do was move towards the open courtyard, to escape the flames. In the courtyard her young eyes were shocked to see dark clad ninja's cutting down everyone that tried to escape the penetrating flames. The heat from the flames were so strong it drove her clan to their slaughter. This enemy knew the fire was their only way to overcome the Genzou Manako bloodline trait. A kekkei genkai
that made them invisible to enemy ninja. Looking at the bodies strewn throughout the courtyard, her green eyes fell upon her parent's mangled bodies. Horrified by the sight of so much blood flowing from there bodies. Tears poured from her eyes.
"Mamma…Papa…you need to get up….please. Mamma I am so scared," she wept.
"They're dead child and you will be joining them soon…very soon!" His voice rasped a cold, cruel, laughter. "Your kind can not be allowed to live!" His steps quickening as he approached her trembling body. Malice shown clearly on his face as he drew his sword. Suddenly there was a loud sound. A tree in the courtyard was falling towards her. The last thing she remembered was screaming as it fell on her crushing her to the ground.
Every time she tried to remember more from that night, she drew a blank. She knew she must have clearly seen her enemies face. Yet, when she tried to recall it, her head would explode with intense pain.
"You failed!" Hiashi growled, waking her from her memories.
"Listen old man for someone supposedly weak, she survived one of the deadliest poisons ever." She replied wickedly pointing her kunai at his chest. "I have a plan…." Her piercing green eyes falling on the pale eyed girl. "If your little darling daughter here will add some assistance." Once again twirling the kunai on her finger.
"You will not involve my precious child in your plan." Hiashi growled, placing Hanabi behind him.
"Hey girly, you want to rid yourself of your sister don't ya? Then you will do as I say." With that said she threw the kunai into the wall behind the two.
"H…how dare you." Hiashi sputtered. Stepping from behind her father, her small hand pulling the kunai out of the wall, she walked calmly to the assassin. Her finger now swirling the deadly blade.
"So, what do you need me to do," she grinned evilly. This made the assassin laugh. 'This girl is as cold and calculating as me,' she thought with glee.
"Smart kid! What's your name?"
"Hanabi," she replied prideful.
"Well, Hanabi you can call me Yukionna."
"You mean like the spirit… phantom woman from folklore. Didn't she use to lure her victims like a Siren before draining their life-force?" This caused Yukionna to lean her head back, letting out a harsh laugh.
"The one and only child. Fitting for a Genzou Manako assassin don't you think? Now old man leave us alone we have some planning to do." Her hands shooing him away.
"I will do no such thing. If you…"
"Go father! I am not a weakling like my worthless sister. I take great pleasure in helping plan her death." She laughed sadistically.
"As you wish daughter." Smiling at how strong she was. Before leaving the room he glanced at Yukionna.
"If anything befalls her… you will die, like you should have years ago. "
Closing the door and locking it Hanabi looked over at Yukionna.
"What did father mean by that?"
"Who knows?… crazy old fool!" Yukionna laughed, but something was still tugging at her past memories. She could feel that familiar headache coming on.
