Chapter 2

After hearing the horrible news from Red, the three girls decided to head back to their villages sooner than normal. Hoping there was some way they could end the war before anyone got hurt on either sides.

Hissori ran as fast as her short legs could take her, until she arrived back to Kohona. She then ran threw the gates, and straight for the Kage tower.

She approached the Hokages office door, and knocked on it. The door was opened from the inside, and standing at the other side of the door was 'him'

He had black hair pulled back in a spiky ponytail, a green vest, dark blue, almost black, long sleeve shirt on, and a pair of pants the same color as his top….His name Shikamaru Nara

This couldn't be a good sign that he was there. Shikamaru was mainly a thinker, meaning the Hokage usually asked him for battle plans…

"Something you want?" A woman's voice asked, snapping Hissori out of her daze.

She looked over at the woman sitting at the desk. She had long blonde hair in pig-tails, obnoxiously big boobs, and brown eyes.

Hissori nodded, and walked into the office, "Lady Tsunade, I think it is a bad idea to move forward in this war" she stepped closer to the Hokages desk, "This war will only bring more deaths than anything" She protested

Tsunade placed her elbows on her desk, and rest her chin on her hands, "Its not as though we asked for this war Hissori. Especially not with Suna, but something's cant be helped" She sighed then took a sip of her saki.

Shikamaru then stepped beside Hissori, "I agree with Hissori, Lady Tsunade this war will be very troublesome, to say the least" He said

Tsunade glared at the two teens in front of her, "Its as I said, I never wanted this war, but it cant be helped. The people of Sand had sent three of their shinobis to destroy out village during our Chunin Exams"

"But they were tricked by Orochimaru, I thought they apologized for that already" Hissori remembered all those years ago, that was around the time she meet Awaii and Red. The same time the Third Hokage was killed by Orochimaru.

Tsunade turned her chair to face the window, "That's what we thought also…until we found some of our men killed, those men where heading towards Suna, to finalize out peace treaty"

"There was no proof that Suna attacked them" Hissori stated

Shikamaru shook his head, "There was a witness…Sasuke Uchiha stated that he saw a group of Sand Shinobi running away from their bodies."

'Right…and he's a reliable source….he's the guy who left this village to join that freak Orochimaru…just to get stronger' Hissori thought to herself.

"please, cant we just try to talk with the village leaders" Hissori suggested

Tsunade stood up, slamming her hands on her desk, "That's Enough! This war is going to happen, and the both of you will fight in it…and that's final, now leave" Tsunade demanded

Hissori hung her head low, she didn't want to fight her friends. She had to find a way to stop this war…and fast.

She looked at Shikamaru, "you don't want this war either….right"

He sighed, "Not really, but you heard the Hokage, she said this war is going to happen"

"What if we can stop it" Shikamaru raised his eyebrow at Hissori, "don't give me that look, if you want to help me, then meet me at the gates tomorrow morning" Hissori then ran down the hall, and out of the tower.

Shikamaru sighed again, "troublesome woman"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Red also ran back to her village, she had to hurry….she needed to talk to the Kazakage, before he made any other plans for this war.

She arrived at Suna, and ran inside. By the time she got to the Kazakages office, she was out of breath. Because she wasn't a ninja, she usually didn't run a lot. She then knocked on the door in front of her, and opened it. She walked into the Office of the Kazakage.

Sitting at the desk of the Kage, was a boy about Reds age, red hair, blue eyes, and the normal white robe on.

Red bowed slightly to show her respect, then looked up, "Sorry to barge in…… but Lord Kazakage……I really think this whole war is…….a bad idea" She said, trying to catch her breath.

Gaara looked up from his paper work, "Why do you think that?" he asked

Red had finally calmed her breathing, "For many reasons, but mainly because this would be an unnecessary war. Many villagers will die, and…and I know the ones we are going to war with, they aren't bad people" She said looking Gaara straight in his eyes.

"Red, you know I trust you very much….but we have already tried to make peace…but only got betrayed in return" The young Kazakage said, looking down at his piles of paper work on his desk.

Red looked a bit confused, "What do you mean…did something happed Gaara?" she asked, a hint of concern in her tone

"I sent a few men, including my brother Kankuro, to Kohona to meet the Kohona Shinobi half way….but they were ambushed" He looked up at Red, and made a fist on his desk, causing his gourd in the corner to shake, "Our men never returned"

Reds eyes widened, and she placed her hand over her mouth, "I'm so sorry Gaara" She walked over to Gaara, and placed her hand on his shoulder, "I didn't know….that's what happened…to him"

Red had always thought Kankuro just left the village….because he was a ninja Kankuro would be gone for long periods of times….she never thought….he died.

"Gaara…what if Kohona didn't kill them…what if it was made to look that way?" Red asked

Gaara shook his head, "please just leave Red, I don't want to talk about this anymore" Gaara placed his fingers on his temples and closed his eyes.

Red sighed and left Gaara alone. She knew it had to be hard for Gaara to lose his brother…He was one of the few people Gaara could talk to. But somehow….Red had to stop this war..

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Awaii arrived into her small village and walked straight towards the head tower. She walked up to the door and barged right in without knocking.

"You have to stop this war!" She shouted at the man in the chair.

The chair swung around and sitting in the chair was a man with light brown hair, and dark brown eyes. The man glared at Awaii, "You cant just barge in here and demand me to stop this war" He stood up, "If we don't fight, then we will be destroyed by the other village shinobi….is that what you want?" she asked practically yelling in Awaiis face.

Awaii glared at the man, "I'm the leader of ALL Samurai Warriors, and if I tell them not to fight…then they wont fight" She crossed her arms, "and I don't want to fight in this war, if this war does go on ,then we should keep all out men here, to protect our villagers, not go out on a suicidal mission" She protested

The man grabbed Awaiis neck, and lifted her off the ground, "You man be the leader for now…but there are a shit load of other men who would gladly take your place, and fight in this war. All you have to do…is die" He squeezed tighter around her neck.

Awaii began to struggle to get this man to let go. She reached in her back pocket and grabbed for one of her daggers, then jammed it into the mans arm, forcing him to drop Awaii. She fell to the ground, and began coughing. The man then began to scream in pain from Awaiis dagger in his arm.

She looked up at the man, then stood up, "Don't…don't you EVER threaten me again" She pulled her dagger out of his arm, "I'm going to find a way to stop this war…and your NOT going to interfere….Gin"

She placed her bloody dagger back in her pocket, and left Gins office. She then walked outside and was heading to the gates of Alabasta.

"Captain Awaii…Captain, please stop…I need to talk to you" A males voice shouted from behind her.

She stopped and turned around to see a man with brown spiky hair, and black eyes, "What do you want Hayashi, have you remembered anything new?" She asked

The reason Awaii asked, was because a few years ago, Awaii and a few of her men found a man laying on the ground, not too far from their village. The man was beaten up, and covered in blood. He would of died if Awaii and the others didn't take him back to the village. When he woke up, he couldn't remember anything…not even his own name.

So Awaii called him Hayashi, because it means forest, and that's where he was found.

Hayashi shook his head, "No, not yet…but there is something I need to talk to ask you"

Awaii crossed her arms, "Make it fast, I have something I need to do" She said

He nodded, "What do you know about a village covered in sand"

Awaii was now very curious, "Why do you ask?" She asked him, the only village she knew that had a great amount of sand, was Sunagakure, which is where Red is from.

"Well…every time I sleep, I see a village full of sand. I'm walking threw it, as though I know my way around the place….I know its only a dream, but I keep having the same dream over and over again" he explained

Awaii began to think…maybe he was from Suna…if he was, then Red might know who he really was…she then looked back up at Hayashi, " Hayashi, there is someone I want you to meet…she might know something that can help you"

He nodded, "Who is she?" He asked

"be patient, you'll meet her tomorrow….meet me at the gates in the morning, and don't be late…I really don't like to wait" She got ready to walk off, then stopped and turned back to face Hayashi, "Don't tell anyone about this either…got it"

He nodded, in confusion, he thought that he was suppose to tell Lord Gin if he remembered anything…he just shrugged it off, he guess that Awaii must have had her reasons as to why she didn't want anyone else to know….and truthfully, Hayashi trusted Awaii more than he did Gin…just for the fact that Gin wanted to kick him out of the village once he woke up, and Awaii fought until he could stay….

-End of chapter, okay so…all of the girls are trying to figure ways to get out of this war, they don't want to fight each other, then they each heard from there leaders why they HAD to fight, Hissori has to fight, cause Tsunade thinks that Suna killed a few of their men, Red has to fight, cause Gaaras brother was killed by Kohona…and Awaii has to fight just because her village is in the middle of the two villages going in war….what do you think will happen, and WHO is Hayashi?-
