Hi everyone! Sorry I took so long to update!

I wanted to thank those who added this story to their favorites(Orange-Tamaki, Wander of Souls and Light, and KyuubiChild 717) and to my very first reviewer(Orange-Tamaki). Here's the second chapter!

CHAPTER 2

Encounter

"Come back here, you little brat!" yelled the angry thug leader.

A young girl was running down the empty streets of the village she had just arrived in. She hasn't been there for no more than 30 minutes ago and she was now getting chased by five men.

"You won't get away!" the second thug bellowed.

She shifts from running and jumps from building to building to shake them off her trail. 'God! How on earth did I let myself get into this mess?' the girl asked herself catching her breath.

She soon realize that she has to find a place to hide and rest before those men find her. The girl quickly scans the village for an empty alleyway and she grins happily when she finds a spot. She jumps downs to that spot and accidentally lands wrong on her right foot, causing her to sprain her ankle, She winces at the sudden sensation of pain in her leg and cursed herself for being so clumsy. She crawled over to a nearby building and lean her body, resting her head against it.

'I...I wasn't expecting this to happen when I got here...' She admits and she begins to remember how all of this started in the first place...REALLY pushing her with the constant name calling.

~*~30 minutes ago~*~

Near the entrance to a village, a black hole forms on the ground and a young girl jumps from out of it, being stealthy with her movements. She has blonde hair that is a little unkempt in the back that falls to her waist with a black hair pin on each side of her head and ocean blue eyes. She is wearing a long-sleeve, orange jacket with black trimming along the zipper and the helm, black trousers, and casual shinobi sandals. She is also wearing fishnet gloves.

"Well, here I am. Thank god I made it here in one piece." Miyuki said to herself. "Now that I'm here, I've got to find my father...He's got to be around here somewhere."

She looks around the village and the first thing she notice was the long, wide bridge behind her that connected two villages. By recognizing that bridge, She figures out that she was in the Land of Waves.

"Hey cutie." A man called out to her.

Miyuki turns to her left quickly and saw the person who called her that name(She hates that name with a passion). The man looked like he was in his forties and he smelled like beer and liquor. Just the sight of this man alone was making Miyuki sick to her stomach and what made matters worse was that she could smell the alcohol on his breath.

"Hey, you're so cute. You wanna hang out with me for a while, cutie?" He asked in a slurred tone.

This man was really pushing her with the constant name calling. She didn't have time for this crap right now.

"Sorry, I'm not interested." She answers in a cool yet emotionless tone.

This man was not gonna take no for an answer and he roughly grabs Miyuki by her arms, turning her around so that she was facing him.

"What are you doing?" Miyuki struggled trying to break free from the man's grasp.

The man pulls her closer to him and slowly leans in, trying to close the gap between them. Miyuki's eyes widen in horror on what this man was about to do. This man was going to kiss her! She hasn't had her first kiss yet and there was no way in hell that she wasn't gonna have some fat, smelly, drunken, ugly bastard take her first kiss away. What would she do in a situation like this?

"Back off!" Miyuki growls before she steps on the man's foot and punches him in the face with all the strength she could muster. Her attack had an effect on him but it also had an effect on her too, because she was now clutching her hand from the impact of his jaw.

"That's quite the punch you got, little girl..." The man rubs his swollen jawbone which was now turning red. "Now, you're gonna get it."

Miyuki backs away slowly and not having any other choice at the moment, she runs away with the man she assaulted chasing her and soon, four other men were soon running after her...

Miyuki chuckles slightly at her own stupidity, knowing that it was all her fault to begin with. She couldn't help that she was eye-candy for guys...and girls for that matter. She blamed her parents for being so damn good-looking and inheriting their looks and mannerisms but she didn't complain though.

"Nariko, I hope you're having better luck than I am right now..." Miyuki whispers and she pulls out her necklace that was hidden underneath her jacket. It was a simple crystal necklace that is similar to a Yang symbol.

Miyuki worries about Nariko so much to the point that it's ridiculous. She knows that Nariko can take care of herself but she can be reckless, emotional, and let her personal feelings get the best of her sometimes, which worries her even more.

"Gotcha!" a voice yelled.

Just then, the five men that had chased her earlier had surrounded her in the small alleyway, where she had hidden herself from them.

Miyuki manages to stand up despite how messed up her ankle was. "Great...it's the fat bastard and his side orders..." She joked out loud knowing this was not the time for it.

The leader of the gang steps through his posse, "What you say? You're gonna pay for that..." he quickly grabs the collar of her shirt, causing her feet to be lifted off the ground.

"Let me go!" Miyuki threaten and she spits in his face.

"You little bitch!" The man throws her into the hard concrete ground and he started unbuckling his pants.

'Oh no...I can't use that power...not on guys like these...but if I don't, these guys will show no mercy and rape me!' She thought.

The man was about to touch one of her creamy, slender thighs until...

"What the hell is going on over there?" yelled an angered voice.

Miyuki and everyone else turn around quickly to see someone hiding in the shadows. Miyuki tried to make out who it was but the only thing she was able to see was a huge weapon that the person was carrying. The person walked towards them and it turns to be a young man. He has short, white hair with a light-blue tint to it, purple eyes, and wears a matching purple sleeveless shirt with gray pants. His teeth are sharp like a shark and the weapon he had was a giant sword and he was also wearing a black cloak with red clouds. Miyuki had a feeling who this guy was but she wasn't entirely sure.

'Who is that guy?' Miyuki thought before she blushed slightly.

"Who the hell are you?" one thug asked.

"I'll be the one asking the damn questions around here. Who are you to pick on young girls?" He questioned. He was not pleased with the display he saw and clearly pissed off about it.

"This is none of your damn business! Get the hell out of here before you get hurt." another one threaten.

"Someone's getting hurt but it's not gonna be me." the young man snapped and pulls out his weapon, the Decapitating Carving Knife.

Miyuki stares with wide eyes at the person who was going to save her. Now she really wanted to know who this guy was. Without a warning of any kind, He throws his sword towards the men, missing all of them before cycling back to him. He catches it with great ease but nothing has happened. The leader laughed to himself as he felt victorious.

"Is that the best you've got?" He asked.

The young man smirks deviously and three seconds later, the man doubles over on his face and he enters unconsciousness.

The other men looked at the young man shaking in fear. "Anybody else want to get hurt?" the young man questioned.

The others scream in horror before grabbing their boss and running off, begging him to spare their lives.

'Wow...' Miyuki thought. 'He's so cool...'

"Are you okay?" the young man asked in concern breaking Miyuki out of her trance.

"I'm fine." She answers briefly while dusting herself off.

"My name is Suigetsu. Normally I don't this...but I can't stand when thugs pick on young girls...What's your name?" He asked clearing taking in Miyuki's beauty. 'Damn...She is really cute...'

"My name is Miyuki. Thank you for saving me. You didn't have to, though." She answers nervously before tripping over her bruised ankle.

"Whoa...are you all right?" Miyuki cringes in pain and Suigetsu notices her bruised ankle. "You hurt your ankle pretty badly."

Miyuki forced a smile. "Don't worry about me, Suigetsu-kun. I'm all right. See?" She tries to walk but then she falls on top of Suigetsu.

'You idiot, you are not all right...' Rubbing her head, Miyuki lifts her head from off his chest and she looks up at Suigetsu and the two of them blush profusely at the position they were in. Their legs were entwined with each other and how Miyuki was positioned, you would think she was crawling to him like a black cat reading to strike.

"Uhhh...Are you okay?" Suigetsu has never met a pretty girl like Miyuki before and doesn't know how to react to these kinds of things. He doesn't count his teammate, Karin because to him, she's just an annoying bitch.

Miyuki snaps out of her trance once again and quickly scoots off of Suigetsu. "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Suigetsu-kun!" she apologized. "I'm fine..."

Suigetsu chuckles. 'Yes, you are...'

'Okay, this situation is beyond awkward. Why am I blushing so much around him?' Miyuki thought.

"One of my comrades can heal your ankle with her chakra. I'll take you back with me so she can help you get better." Suigetsu offered changing the subject quickly.

'Go...with Suigetsu-kun?' Miyuki tried to cover her blush but she was failing at that miserably. "No! No! No! There's no need for that. I've already caused you so much trouble." She said in concern.

"This is not up for negotiation. You're coming with me and that's that." Suigetsu huffed and forcefully picks Miyuki up bridal style.

Miyuki was never held like this before and she couldn't let Suigetsu know that she's actually liking this right now, "Hn...all right." she said in defeat, hoping in some strange way, she would run into her father.

'Hn? Strange...She says the same thing like Sasuke...who is this girl?' Suigetsu questioned.
