Akanesuna no Michiko used to be one of the girls who most feared and most made fun of Subaku no Gaara. That was years ago before she found out his own father was trying to kill him. Since then she's trying to redeem herself and if she can, mend the pieces, but it appears that she can't escape that time-it doesn't seem to want to let her go.

Disclaimer: I Don't own Naruto or any of the respective characters, I do however own my dear Michiko and anyone else who doesn't ever appear in Naruto so take that tee hee (pay no attention to my strangeness)


By the time that Michiko had finished her one day helping out and playing with kids at the orphanage it was well past the time that the sun had set. It was a late, cloudless night as usual for the desert and light wind chilled her to the bone. A couple of strands of gray slapped against her cheek bones in the wind which was starting to get a bit wild.

'Well that wasn't so bad.' She thought wrapping some hair around her finger. Her eyelids shut gently as she blinked before they snapped open. Someone was….trailing her? 'Nani?'

Suddenly the night was no longer late-it was young. It was young and all of a sudden Michiko felt that she had this thirst, this maniac desire for bloodshed. After all it had been long since her hands and been stained in the freshly spilt blood that pumps through all physical beings. It had been TOO long.

Now that probably sounds like she's some blood-crazed female but really, she wasn't…she like every human being had her needs and one of them was to dispose of the horrible, vile souls that dwelled within a human. The only pure human is a child and even in this day and age few children can even be considered pure. A little boy in a green hat flashed through her mind and she smiled in a sad way.

'Please don't ever grow up Atsuya-chan…'

And it just so happens that beating the living sense out of someone aka killing a person (or beating them within an inch of their life-your choice) was a great reliever of stress. Really, if Michiko didn't get rid of her stress all of her pent up rage would make her implode into herself, probably dragging anyone nearby along with her to hell.

Soft pastel pink lips parted for a barely audible whisper "Come out, come out where ever you are." Then they broke into something of a maniac grin (I love to say that).

She could hear the steps-they were heavy and belonged to at least three people. 'Tch…dumbass shit heads think they can sneak up on a Jounin Level ninja…pfft bet the little pussys don't even know I'm a ninja…heh…I'll give them a chance to back out...' her eyes closed in bliss before reopening. Crimson stared into the night sky and analyzed the stars.

The stars were, in Suna, clearly visible. Unlike other villages there is very little pollution and the lack of moisture means no clouds. It also means that the moon is extra bright.

Turning into a dark alleyway Michiko smiled to herself before giggling 'they took the bait…I guess I'll just have to kill them.' Sprinting forwards she dove behind a dumpster and nearly jumped up in glee at the figures walking into the shadows.

"Damn it, where'd she go?!" hissed a scratchy males voice. 'Tch bitch…'

"That whore…damn she looked so fine I coulda tapped that twice" a man with a deep, husky chuckled "and twice again" a squeakier voice piped in.

The hiding girls eyes narrowed angrily as her smile became a grimace 'Damn perverts…better they decided to trail me than some poor broad I guess...her fate wouldn't have been too nice…for this they need a serious beat down…'

From her crouched position she stood up then proceeded to walk from behind the dumpster with her hips swinging. Voice lower than usual she smiled seductively at them "Well Konbawa there…boys…"

A lean man with flaming orange hair streaked with green stepped forwards while patting his side. A weapon pouch was at his hip and around his leg was a Hita-ate identifying him as a Grass Nin.

'How annoying…out of village ninjas dare try something on a woman in a village they are visiting…and if they had a mission here they should be gone by now…so I guess I'll kill them for their insolence…as well as being pests.'

His brown eyes glinted in the starlight with lust "So…" Suddenly a guy who was in his early twenties with black bangs cupping his face and the rest of his hair in a high pony tail was to her left. She couldn't tell if he had blue eyes or violet eyes.

To her right was a sickly looking boy with sunken in eyes and freckles decorating his face. His murky blue eyes clashed horribly with his neon orange hair. A hita-ate was settled on his shoulder and his very prominent buckteeth only enhanced his unattractiveness.

-Bet that guy hasn't had a girl into him for a day of his life…tch. Pathetic bastard.- Her eyes flashed to her front where the other orange head was standing.

"Woah are you a real life ninja?!" she squealed in an excited voice twirling some of her hair in her fingers

"Mmhmm.." he nodded and grinned revealing his pointy teeth-they actually looked…sharpened?

'Ugh…fucking weirdoes…oh well time for action…'

Sauntering forwards she grinned seductively and lifted a hand to his face and trailed down it to the curve of his neck, stopping there.

"You know…" the midnight haired guy replied stepping forwards but the guy with orange hair that she was currently with-the leader- raised a hand up to silence him.

"Hey babe…I was going to have you go and give my little bro some entertainment but if you wanna we can fool around some…" he whispered huskily.

"Oh…I don't think that's very good…because I can be a man's worst nightmare." She announced stepping back into the center with a smirk. The two orange heads looked at her with curiosity while the other man stared on bored. It was silent and soon her smirk fell and "Like a fine little thing like you could be a nightmare."

'Oh HELLLZ no!' something inside of her broke and without a sound she had upper cutted the guy in front of her, kicked the sickly orange head in the side, and the long haired boy, she elbowed him in the side of his head.

One flew up then fell to the ground, another flew into the wall and finally the last one was slammed into a trash can.

"Oh…weak…I beg to differ." Eyes dancing with murderous intent she dove forwards for the leader who was scrambling to get up and she whipped out a long chain with a sharp glinting knife at the end. Twirling her wrist she made the knives slash at him- his blood flying everywhere from the assault, and his screams…simply delicious.

"Oh honey is this what you expected when you looked down at me?" she purred stomping on his knee caps. There was a very distinct sound of shattering underlying his pleads for forgiveness.

"Oh, that's so damn priceless…You scum, don't you DARE ask for my forgiveness, we all know what you would have done to any other girl in my place that wasn't a ninja you dirty. Little. Bastard." On little and bastard she kicked him in his ribs coaxing a couple of painful groans from his mouth.

A smile graced her lips making the men wonder how a girl with such a dazzling, innocent face be so…violent… then behind her was a shadow of a the orange haired sickly boy, his brother. Finally understanding why she was smiling

he opened his mouth to shout a warning but was too late as Michiko spun on her heal and stabbed into his shoulders with the knifes at the end of her chains.

Then if that wasn't enough for him to witness and the boy to go through, she jerked them out, kneed him in the gut making him plummet forwards then as he fell she began to strangle him with her chains.

"Oh honey you think THIS is pain?" she whispered into his ear before nibbling on it. The chocking teen gasped as she bit him then felt the sweet release of the chains. Thinking it was over he smiled and was about to thank her-almost- when she back fisted him. He fell to the ground with a great thud and squealed as she stalked in his direction.

However she passed him up?

Still smirking because she noticed the way the boy shivered when she walked towards him. She was smirking from the blood on her hands and on her clothes…the smell of it overpowering and that of sinners- the best kind to spill. She was smirking because she was going to bring them all within an inch of their life and she could cause them hell in pain before they could die. She was smirking…because now all that pent up rage was being dealt with-all that frustration was finally going to leave her, and in one of the funnest ways.


With Gaara
Keeping watch on the village was something Gaara often did on nights such as these. It was a relatively early night as well and all was fine when he spotted a familiar grey haired, red eyed girl being trailed by a group of grass nins that had just delivered a scroll. Knowing trouble when he sees it he followed them through the shadows and in the sand. All the while he was observing that girl. She was very strange, especially the random moments her eyes would glint with what seemed like…blood lust? She was a strange one indeed.

"Come out, come out where ever you are." The blue eyed boy raised a nonexistent eyebrow. She couldn't have known he was following her….right?

Eventually she ran into an alley way and Gaara being the ever so inquisitive teen is followed her. Soon enough the guys followed her into the depths of the dark. They spoke of her as an object- obviously they had no idea she was a ninja.

Still curious he watch as she walked out of the shadows surrendering her position to them. But the, then she began to…flirt with them…? That's what he was sure his sister had said it was called, anyways she was flirting with them then stepped back into the center. Her voice was strong and was different then it was previously. No longer was it seductive and deep. Now it was a calmed somewhat high-pitched voice that ran like water down his spin.

"Oh…I don't think that's very good…because I can be a man's worst nightmare."

It was silent and he found himself holding his breath. Certainly something was to happen soon…he could feel it, and inside of him he felt Shukaku stir.

'Blood will be spilt tonight.' The demons voice gurgled before chuckling. Gaara just put the words to the back of his mind.

"Like a fine little thing like you could be a nightmare." Spoke the orange haired boy who didn't look so sickly. As soon as those words were uttered a blast of fury erupted from the girl and Gaara shuddered. When woman made their

emotions like that it could end…badly…he saw often the beating that Kankuro would take from Temari when she got into a rage like that.

Quickly she leapt forwards and upper cutted the supposed leader in the chin- he flew up into the air, his cloak rippling in the air furiously. Before he could land she turned to his sick brother and kicked his side with a powerful round house making him fly into a wall.

'She's fast…' the Gaara thought watching her, a little bit of pride swelling since she was a ninja of his village…if only he could remember her name, the kids at the orphanage today repeated it so much since she was a new girl AND nice to them that it got more than a little annoying…

The first boy still hadn't fully reached the ground when she ducked the last boys, the one with black hairs, punch then appeared in front of him gracefully and elbowed the side of his head, the impact so great that he flew into a trashcan.

"Oh…weak…I beg to differ." she growled putting a hand to her hip. After a few seconds she yawned then smirked while diving forwards. The leader was scrambling to get up so she whipped out a long chain with a sharp glinting knife at the end from kami-knows-where and began twirling her wrist making the knives slash at him.

Blood was flying everywhere from the assault making the Shukaku roar with a mixture of glee and anger. Glee because it was blood flying everywhere, and with the tortured screams it was even better…but rage because he was not the one spilling the blood.

'Oh come on, if you let me just spill a little bit of blood I promise I won't hurt the girl' he chided evilly. 'No.you are not trustworthy.' Reprimand Gaara watching intently as she stomped on the mans knee caps. Having sensitive ears he caught the breaking of his knee cap and was somewhat amazed at her blood lust as she continued to hurt him.

"Oh, that's so damn priceless…You scum, don't you DARE ask for my forgiveness, we all know what you would have done to any other girl in my place that wasn't a ninja you dirty. Little. Bastard." On 'little' and 'bastard' she kicked him in his ribs. Painful groans erupting from his mouth.

'At least she knew what they were going to do to her…damn it…that blood smells so…good…' unconsciously he licked his lips

A smile graced the grey haired girls lips as the orange haired sickly boy tried to sneak up behind her. The boy on the ground opened his mouth to shout a warning but was too late as the girl spun on her heals and stabbed with knives into the boys shoulders. She could have easily and smoothly pulled them out but instead she twisted them a little before allowing them to leave his body.

'This girl is sadistic…' Gaara chuckled a little evilly, Shukaku was coming out whether the boy wanted it or not!

Kneeing him in the gut he fell wards however before he met the ground she went behind him and began to choke him with her chains.

She nibbled on his ear and was releasing the chains. Then she back fisted him. He fell to the ground with a great thud and yelped in distress as she stalked in his direction. Gaara thought she was going in for the finishing blow-which he planned on stopping, but she passed him up?

Instead she stalked to the last boy, the one with the dark black hair who was slumped against a trashcan-knocked out.

"Oh hon, if you've bad intentions…you don't deserve sleep." She hissed grapping his cloak collar and lifting him into the air. His body was limp and she grinned like a maniac.

"Ah….and you're a cute one too…oh well." She trailed his cheekbone down to his jaw line before punching him in the nose. His eyes snapped open "Oh so they are violet…how beautiful…hmm…well would you like to see your friends?"

She through him over her shoulder at the other two but he managed to pivot his body so he didn't fall head first.

"Oh that won't do…" she chided back flipping then throwing her Manrikigusari at him. His eyes widened enough so the Kazekage could see the whites of them and in order to attempt dodging them he fell to his stomach then pushed himself up to try avoiding them…which was useless as she just changed the direction of the chains with a flick of her wrists. The knives slashed his cloak making it fall to the ground in shreds revealing a net shirt and that was all.

'He's probably really cold…'

However unlike the other two he didn't cry out in pain or beg for forgiveness. He raised his hands to perform a jutsu.

"Oh…so it's going to be like that huh?" she laughed, red eyes sparkling.

He mumbled a few words and performed some signs then soon enough there were clones all around her, circling.

"That won't work on me…" she yelled twirling while extending her arms. The chains slapped all the clones circling her and made smoke go everywhere. Within the smoke was the sound of an extreme beating taking place…but Gaara couldn't see it…Swearing mentally he found himself almost willing the sand to see what was up but stopped himself as the smoke cleared.

On the ground lay a bloodied and battered grass ninja and the girl with very few scraps on her…just blood splattered all over her.

"I feel so much calmer now…" she sighed looking into the sky, a lone tear sliding down her cheek. "I know that I can never fully be rid of my sins but…at least I can send those unworthy to you…" she bent down to his level and was about to slice off his head when Gaara decided it was time to intervene.

"You understand that these ninjas are from another land." Staring up at him her eyes widened like a child being caught in the act of getting some cookies after bed time.

"H-hai." Her shock seemed to be disappearing. She stared past him "They had ill intentions so I needed to defend myself…"

Nodding the blue sky-blue eyed boy sighed running a hand through his red hair. "Hai…however instead of beating them within an inch of their lives you could've just knocked them out…they were suppose to leave for Grass but luckily we didn't send the report of them getting here so we can fix this but…" he stared into her eyes warningly "there had better not be a next time." Turning on his heal he had his sand pick up the three boys, two of them barely awake.

"Gomen for this girls rash decision…although if you were ever to try something such as trailing a girl with ill intentions again…and you happen to stumble upon a ninja again I will let her kill you…" their eyes stared up at him warily and the more sickly boy began to shiver "and if it is I who finds you attempting something on an unaware girl then you will experience much more pain then that the likes of you had experienced tonight…understood…?" he stated stonily.

The sickly boy gasped before nodding furiously while the other merely gave a stiff, affirming nod.

"I will allow you to heal then you will report back to your village, understood." He commanded the reply was the same as before. "Good…now girl…go home, then report to my office tomorrow morning so we can talk of this…situation…"
