Heyy!! Finally got my second chapter out. Sorry all, I have quite a bit of school work to do, so that affected my ability to write. I DO NOT own Naruto, but I do own my creativity, my imagination, Kirie, Rayne, and I'd say my sanity…but that ran away. If you find it, please let me know. XPP

Chp. 2

"Lee, I'll get you somehow!!" a young girl cried. She then ran after a male in a green spandex jumpsuit and orange leg warmers. His hair the equivalent to a bowl that has a gleam and well…is hair. They seemed to be having a bit of a spat.

"I do not know of what you speak!"

"Arrrrrgh!! I'm going to hurt you if you don't stop!"

"Stop what, Kirie!? I have done nothing wrong!!"

"The Hell you haven't!"

She finally caught up to him and jumped on him, starting to slightly strangle him. He looked up to her with wide eyes. Kirie heard gravel crunch behind her and she let go of Lee, quickly standing, and turning towards the sound. Nothing. She scanned the area quickly looking for movement of any kind. She was startled when a kunai sank into the tree directly next to her. She spazzed.

"You could have died an unruly death, just now."

"Well, you could have warned me first!!"

"In real battle, there is no warning." Kakashi stepped out from behind his tree. He noticed Lee still on the ground. A smirk spread across his face as he looked back to Kirie.

"I didn't interrupt anything, did I?" Kirie glared at him with disgust.

"Your wrong. You know that?" He looked at his book and started to read.

"In what way?"

Kirie's face went red with anger on the spot. She hated when Kakashi picked on her about that subject. He knew, he was just being an ass. She grabbed the back of Lee's jumpsuit and pulled him to his feet.

"Let's go Lee."

"Yes! We must now go meet Gai-Sensei!!" he walked along beside her as they made their way back into town, leaving Kakashi alone with his thoughts and his all important, 'Icha Icha Paradise.'

As they entered the village once more Kirie smiled. She was now away form that sensei. She disliked Kakashi with almost every core of her being. He was and old perverted bastard, that got away with everything. When she, couldn't even ask Lee on a date without everyone knowing about it. She scoffed, she hated how her life had worked out. But, she was happy that she had been placed in the same team as Lee. At least THAT had worked out to her benefit. She glanced over to Lee and figured now was her chance, considering they were alone.

"Hey, Lee…" he glanced over to her, his fuzzy eyebrows arching a bit.

"Yes, Kirie?"

"I was wondering…If you'd like to-" but she was completely cut off by Sakura and Ino screaming at each other.

"He's mine!!" Ino yelled.

"At least I'm on his team! I spend more time with him!!" Ino scoffed at Sakura's comment and rolled her eyes. Kirie was now incredibly pissed off. She and Lee continued to walk, passing by the squabbling banana and strawberry. Once at arms length, Kirie quickly shot her hand out and smacked Sakura's head, causing her to fall into Ino, making them both go tumbling to the ground.

"Lovers quarrel, I see." Kirie said,, slightly amused. She chuckled at how they had landed. Sakura's right hand on Ino's breast and Ino had Sakura's non-existent chest in her face.

"Get off of me!!" Ino roughly shoved Sakura off of her. "Your such a dike!!"

Sakura's face grew cherry red with anger. Ino stood up, pushing the trying to stand, Sakura, back down. Kirie started to laugh and continued to walk. They had to meet Gai-sensei, anyway. They couldn't stick around, even though she wanted to…

They headed towards the meeting spot, a.k.a. the Ramen Shop. They never ate, just met there. On arriving in front of the 'Shop,' Kirie sat down, annoyed, waiting for Gai-Sensei. Lee sat down beside her, smiling as he always was.

"Kirie?" she perked up, looking at him.

"Yes, Lee?" he paused for a moment, then looked up to her.

"…when do you think Gai-Sensei will be here?"

Her world fell as the question left his lips. That was disappointing to her. She thought…she thought he might have been trying to ask her out on a date. But, no…She was left with-

"Hello, Lee!! Kirie." He let off his glinting smile as they turned to face him. His thumbs held in the air. Lee popped up off his seat and ran to him. His smile as bright as ever. Kirie fumed in her mind. She wanted Lee to smile like that for her. But she only saw that smile when Gai or Sakura was around. Just for that smile…she would kill to see it pointed towards her. The only thing that bothered her was his contraction work. She had to teach him to use them, ALL the time. Or at least a majority of the time. She needed to hear him use a contraction just once and she would be happy. But as for Gai, he wasn't allowed to touch her, unless under dire circumstances. She had made this agreement with him a long while before. Blood had to be involved. She looked dead at him and smiled a 'not to welcoming,' smile.

"What did you need us for?"

"A mission, of course!!"

"What's the mission?" Kirie stated, coldly.

"It's a B ranked mission. At least at the moment…we're to escort a young female to the Leaf Village."

"Whyy?"

"That was classified information. We have to leave later today to meet the deadline." Lee nodded happily. Kirie rolled her eyes.

"Another classified mission? Jeez, I'm getting sick of them."

"At least we have a mission."

"If we have a mission, then where is the rest of the group?"

"Oh!, I was wondering when that question would come up. The recipient requested only a group of three people. So, I picked you two!!"

Kirie raised her eyebrow in suspicion. She wanted to know exactly what was going on. But she had a feeling that Gai wasn't going to tell her. But…she had to ask anyway…

"Gai-sensei, whyy did this woman request only a three person team?"

"Actually, I wasn't told." he said scratching the back of his head. "I was just informed of getting here here."

Kirie sighed. His missions were always half-baked. This was whyy she disliked having him as a sensei. The only reason she stuck around was…She glanced over to the happy face of Lee. He was ecstatic at the thought that Gai had chosen him, over all the others the group. And Kirie knew this, she was happy that he was simply smiling. She cursed herself, but put on a happy smirk. If Lee was overjoyed, she'd be happy, too.

"Let's go!!" Kirie yelled.

"Yes!!" Lee cried, as well.

"That's the spirit!" Gai gave a glimmering smile.

They headed off to their homes to get something. Kirie quickly grabbed her things and stuffed them into a bag. She then headed back to the Ramen Shop.

Shop~

When she got there she saw Naruto sitting in his normal spot and Lee standing off to the side, looming around Sakura. She despised her for stealing Lee's attention. She referred to him as hers, even though he wasn't…She smirked making her way over. She heard the 'slurping,' of Naruto eating his chicken ramen. Sitting down, she 'accidentally,' hit a pair of chopsticks that hit a container of seasoning, which in turn spilled onto Naruto, causing him to jump up and send his ramen flying into the air. And in the end it all ended up all over Sakura.

"Sakura, are you okay!?" Kirie cried, sarcasm glazing her cry. Sakura glared at her, she knew she had meant all of that.

"You little-" Sakura started, but was cut off by Gai popping up.

"Ready to go, you two!?"

"Oh, of course!!" Kirie smiled and grabbed Lee, who was spazzing because of Sakura.

"Sakura, just get a towel or something!! Or maybe…get Naruto to suck it out of your clothes!!" Kirie giggled at her statement. The next thing she knew they'll heard Sakura yell, "Naruto, no!! Get away from me!!" Kirie held in her laughter. She had said it, but didn't actually think he would do it!

4 hours later//Away from Konaha~

They had left Konaha a while ago, and Kirie was getting rather bored. So she did something she knew she shouldn't…she let her mind wonder. I quickly went to thoughts of Lee, plotting against Sakura and Ino, along with this mystery woman they were supposed to be escorting. Kirie wondered what she would be like. A bitch, or a little-miss-sunshine.' Soon after she chose 'little-miss-sunshine,' just because she kept herself so secret. The next thing she knew, Lee and Gai were gone. She was alone…Kirie scanned her landscape, keeping her guard up. She then flipped through her options…'Damn!!! I'm in a clearing, there's nowhere to hide!!' Kirie figured…there wasn't much she could do. Kirie waited.

A few moments later she saw a young female walking towards her. Kirie's jaw dropped. She was…beautiful!! This woman's long shadow black hair, fluttered behind her perfectly formed body. Her skin like freshly fallen snow. But the one thing , even from a distance, that she couldn't tear her eyes away from…was her eyes… They were fixed on Kirie, with a deathly sophisticated glare. The woman's eyes caught the gleam of the sun and they shimmered. Behind that glare laid deep ice blue eyes. Kirie's eyes then wondered down. As she then realized how luscious this woman's body really was. She wore a deep black dress, that commented her breasts with a v-neck, and an amazing slit up the left side, that came to an end at her hip. Revealing perfectly toned legs, and those killer hips…Her dress easily making her take notice to her small waist and perfectly sized chest for her size. If she were a male at this moment, she would have passed out from lack of blood. The only way she could describe he woman was, 'perfection.'

Kirie continued to stare at her with wide eyes, until the woman got closer. She then snapped out of it and nodded to her, when she reached a few feet away from Kirie. This is when Kirie realized she was taller than the woman. How? Kirie was only twelve!! But, yet, that glare sent chills up her spine. When the woman stood in front of Kirie, her eyes moved upwards to Kirie's face, making eye contact. Then her light pink lips parted and spoke in a surprisingly serious voice for her size. Maybe she was just short…??

"You fail. If I were an enemy you would be dead. This world isn't a faerytale, meant to be lived in the clouds. Pat attention, or I will kill you next time."

Kirie looked down at her and glared. What right did she have to speak to her like that!?! She wasn't her mother!! Gai surfaced himself from a small amount of foliage, he smiled nervously. Lee appearing, as well.

"You're her, aren't you?" Kirie asked, sighing in disappointment. She didn't like this. At all. What right did this pip-squeak have to order her around!? The woman briefly glanced at Gai and Lee. She then set her cunning eyes on Gai.

"Teach her better. She'll die soon if you don't." After saying this comment, she kept walking. Gai following her. Kirie walked over to Gai and harshly whispered, "She cannot act like that towards us!"

"I know. But she's going to a new place. Cut her some slack, she'll get used to it. Besides, you should have been paying attention."

Kirie scoffed and kept walking, following the bitchy new-comer.

2 hours later~

Ever since they had gained miss, 'I'll kill you,' there had been no talking in the group. It was completely silent. So, Kirie figured it was time to break the silence.

"Hey, you!! The new-comer. What's your name?" There was a pause before a response came from her.

"You shall learn of my name when the time comes that it is needed."

Kirie glanced, irritably at Gai. He smiled. Kirie knew he just wanted her to let it go for now. The rest of the trip back to Konaha was in silence.

~Konaha~

When they entered Konaha, the woman sighed and stood there, quietly. Gai then piped up.

"We must go to the Hokage's office. We have to report in." The woman nodded and followed along behind them as they started walking towards his office. Kirie glanced behind to see her face. The expression on her face was that of boredom. It seemed as though she had walked through this village hundreds of times, even though to Kirie's knowledge, this was her first time here. She looked forward once more, trying to think of something other than the appear ably stuck-up woman behind her. She wondered what she was going through her mind. Things about her? Things about the village? Things about.. Lee?! Kirie glanced back at her once more and gave a soft glare. The woman turned her eyes and quickened her pace to walk beside Kirie. Then in a soft voice, she spoke,

"Don't worry. I'm not interested in your obsession." She then proceeded to walk forward, in front of Kirie. Kirie's eyes went wide in surprise. She knew!? NO ONE knew of her crush on Lee, except for herself. How did this mystery woman figure it out so easily?! She looked towards the pint-sized girlie in front of her. Kirie then proceeded to grab her shoulder and pull her backwards towards her. The woman's expression didn't change one bit as she was jolted back to Kirie.

"Who are you!?" Kirie yelled.

"I have explained this to you already, Miss Kirie. It shall be explained when the time is right-" She was cut off as Kirie yelled, once more.

"The Hell with when the time is right! Who are you!?"

Gai and Lee spun around in response to Kirie's scream.

"What's wrong!?"

"Yes! What is wrong, Kirie?" Gai and Lee exclaimed. Kirie pointed maliciously to their pick-up.

"Her."

"What's wrong with her? I see nothing wrong with her!" Gai said, stately. But then they all heard the woman speak. The voice she used was a mere statement, mono-tone voice.

"Miss Kirie is angry with me, for she thinks I have or am taking a liking to her affiliation. And I have already stated that I will never take a liking for him. He's much to… unique for me."

She then pried Kirie's off of her and started walking once more. Kirie watched her go, her face turning red with embarrassment. Lee's face was a bit pink, as well. Now having found out that his best friend had liked him all this time. Gai…well Gai's, Gai. He stood there and looked from their mission, walking away, to Kirie, to Lee, and then repeated it. Kirie's face was cherry red, but she knew she had to do something. She hiked her bag farther onto her shoulder and started walking her normal pace, following the little woman. Gai soon followed, with an embarrassed Lee in toe. There was silence until they reached Home-base. The Hokage's office.

~Office~

As the knock echoed through the halls, a soft voice was heard and they opened the door. They entered to see the Hokage looking at them, happily. Gai realized the immediate eye contact between their extra baggage and the Hokage. She nodded in response and sat down. Gai Spoke.

"We have completed our mission."

"Thank you. I shall get a hold of you if another becomes available."

"Yes, Hokage." He nodded to the Hokage, as well and headed out meeting Kirie and Lee outside the office. He slowly and gently closed the door behind him. The young woman heard the slight, 'thump,' of the door. She turned her full attention to the Hokage. He smiled.

"So, you've finally returned, yes?"

"You and I have nothing. I merely requested a favor. I wanted to be treated like any other student my age."

"But, your not a normal child Night-" he was cut off by her voice.

"I'm Rayne now. NightRayne is no more. You as the Hokage should understand that."

"Yes, I shall respect your request to along with your favor. A child you shall be. You requested to go back to the academy, right?"

"Correct. I never did get the splendor of school. I was almost immediately placed into the Anbu."

"…your right. You will be allowed to have your childhood. You start tomorrow."

"Thank you." she spoke softly, "But, I have one more favor to ask of you."

"Hm?"

She looked to the floor and spoke softer than before.

"I do not want anyone to have knowledge of who I am. My identity before Rayne."

"Fair enough. Deal."

She nodded once more and stood. The Hokage handing her a slip of paper. "Here are the directions to your room. Get someone on the way to help you out."

"Yes." she turned away form him and started walking to the door.

"Watch out Rayne. Don't get yourself into trouble."

"Hmph. You say that as though it is a horrible thing…"

He sat down and he heard the door open and close. Then her soft footsteps descending down the hallway.

"She hasn't changed…."the Hokage thought to himself, before getting back to work on some paperwork he had to do.

~Pick-up-E~

She was wondering around the town, running her hands along the walls. In her memories this place was her Hell. At least one of them was…She heard footsteps and voices up ahead of her, she never looked up from the ground. Their was a feminine voice, along with a masculine one.

"Hinata, you have to stop being so shy!:

"B-but, I'm not shy…"

"Of course not…You just have to forget other people are around you!"

"K-kiba…"

The masculine voice was heard again as she felt as though she was being watched.

"Oh, hey! You look like you need some help. Yeah?" she glanced up and nodded. Kiba saw Hinata smile a slight smile.

"She's pretty…" Hinata thought to herself.

Have any clue where your going?"

She held up a piece of paper that was handed to her. She heard footsteps come closer and then the paper leave her hand.

"Oh, this way." Kiba then started walking, but was held back by a hand grabbing his arm. He turned, wondering why this girl had grabbed him.

"You shouldn't leave this young woman alone. You were speaking with her, yes?" he looked over to Hinata and nodded.

"Right. Let's go, Hinata."

"Mm." Hinata then followed him. The woman released her gentle grip on his arm and followed after him as well.

~5 Minutes Later~

"Here it is." Kiba looked to the young female.

"Thank you." was all that was heard from her as she disappeared behind the door. They both, Hinata and Kiba, jumped when she slammed the door.

"Oh, jeez…That's all we need, another Sasuke…"

He and Hinata turned and descended down the hallway. Inside the room the girl plopped down onto her bed and sighed. It had been quite a while since she had slept in these uncomfortable beds; she had missed them. She glanced towards the lighted side of the room, assumably the window. She then walked in a circle around the room, running her hands along the wall. She then sat down on the floor, closing her eyes. Letting her thoughts flood her mind,

'Why..? This was a horrible room. This had been, 'our,' room. So many memories in such a small amount of time. How an I possibly handle this?' another sigh came to her lips. '5 years and it still bugs me.. Jeez. Rayne, how are you going to deal with this…?' she pushed these thoughts out of her mind and crawled onto the bed, letting a single thought run through her mind.

'School tomorrow…' then soon, she fell into a troubled, but yet sound, sleep.
