"Kiba! Kiba! KIBA!" yelled a very pissed off team mate "Where the hell is he!?"

"Calm down, Shino. He probably left early." a girl said just over a whisper.

"I doubt that, Hinata. Not even Akamaru is here and he hardly goes with Kiba anywhere."

"Their always together."

"Then why is nothing different?"

"I don't know but I'm not fighting with you Shino. You want to know where he is then go find him."

"Fine I will." he spat walking out the door slamming it behind him.

"Katana? Katana! Where are you!?" Kaya called walking to the lounge room with Sasuke behind her.

"Kay-"

"Katana!"

"Ka-"

"Where are you!?"

he sighed "Kaya, be quiet for one second!"

"Wh-" Sasuke put his hand over her mouth and pointed to the lounges to find Kiba and Katana asleep on one. Kiba hugging Katana to him and Akamaru on the other. Kaya's mouth fell open at Kiba and Katana.

Kiba was holding Katana around her waist, head on hers, one leg over both hers with her head on his chest, hands over his and her legs curled up together between his.

"That's why." Sasuke sighed letting her go as they made their way toward the two.

"He really does like her, doesn't he?" Kaya asked looking at Sasuke. Sasuke took her hand in his then replied, "Who wouldn't be able to see that? Cause it's so obvious and yes he does. Now I really don't want the others or Sakura around her."

"Why's that Sasuke?"

"They find out the Hokage finds out then we'll never hear the end of it and plus if Katana likes him to then think what will happen to her if Kiba dies or is killed."

"Oh-no, she can't handle anymore of that. If death is inflicted on her then she won't be the same at all. She could become worse the Neji and he's bad enough."

"Mmmm...." a mumble came from Katana

"She must be dreaming and Uchiha?"

"Yes."

"Let go of my hand, will ya."

"Huh?" he looked down and let go of her hand forgetting her was holding it.

"Shut up! Will ya!?" I'm trinna sleep here." Katana growled throwing the remote at them getting Kaya then Sasuke in the head.

"Ow!" they whined rubbing their heads then looked at the ground where the remote lay.

"She has a bloody good air." Sasuke said

"Yeah and she's asleep. So her air is way better then others. So when she's awake it's acuter but when she's asleep or half-asleep she's a lot worse cause she gets really grumpy or pissed off and that's not a good thing."

"Shut up or I'll kick you out!" Katana threatened about to get up but Kiba moved in his sleep holding her tighter to him. "Lucky him. He can sleep through you two talking so much and so bloody loud!" Katana growled throwing her bandana at them hitting them both in the head again so they left not wanting to get anything else thrown at them.

"Geez, that hurt Katana! Thanks now I got a bloody throbbing headache!" Kaya yelled to her

"What the hell's going on?" Kiba mumbled rubbing his eyes

"Kaya and Sasuke being bloody loud mouth's expectedly Kaya." she growled. Kiba let go of her and nodded head to Kaya's place. Katana got the biggest grin on her face ever.

"Is that a happy grin, Katana?" Kiba asked

"Evil and Kaya is going to pay for waking me up." she said silently walking to were Kaya was. Sasuke got away and went to Kiba and Akamaru.

"Kaya, why do you have such a loud mouth!?" Katana growled from behind Kaya making her jump.

"Kat...Katana when did you get there?"

"Just about now-ish."

"Kiba?"

"Yeah?" he was still looking where Katana went

"Do you like Katana?"

"How do you mean?"

"More then a friend or family?"

"I don't know?"

"Dude, I'm not an idiot."

"I know your not,"

"Then tell me if you do or not cause she is basically my little sister and I don't want her to get hurt more then needed to add to her suffering now," he said flatly with sadness.

"What happened to her in the past?" Kiba asked a bit worried

"Answer the question first." this was kind of amusing for Sasuke.

"I.....umm.....well...."

"Kiba."

"Yes. ok. Yes I do. Happy now?" he fused losing control of what he said

"Ok but she lost everyone and everything close to her when she was younger."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Her village was attacked and destroyed. Her friends, family and everyone killed. Home's burnt to the ground and blown up. Nothing left. I don't know how it happened or what village it was but I plan to find out."

"It wan't a village. It was my clan but they got killed so I got sent to the water village to be protected but they found it and destroyed it and I plan to avenge me family and their village." Katana said in a fury voice growling when a knock came to the door.

Kiba was shocked at this new information about Katana but watched her.

"What!?" sh snapped at who was there.

"Jeezz, Chill Katana. I just want-" SLAM they got cut off by Katana slamming the door right in their face.

"What was it that made you slam it, Katana?" Sasuke asked held in a laugh

"Rock-lee!" Crack

"What the?" Kaya said walking to Katana but started laughing uncontrollably.

"What's funny Kaya?" Sasuke asked as he and Kiba came around.

Katana had punched her fist throw the door and hit Lee Square in the nose.

"What did you do that for?" Kiba asked walking over helping Katana get her arm out of the door.

"He wouldn't shut the hell up! And only one way to shut him up, knock him unconscious," she pursed flexing her right arm, "Thanks again Kiba." she smiled a small bit sweet smile.

"You could just use Jutsu instead of destroying everything," Kaya whined looking at the doorhandle.

"Too much effort plus hittings easier then concentrating and controlling Chakra, the hell with that." she shrugged walking to the kitchen.

Knock, knock, knock!

"I'll get it this time," Kaya said showing the boys who gladly left to sit in the lounge room. "Who the hell are you?" she growled.

"Mazuki and I'm here to see Katana."

"How do you know her?"

"Old friend."

"Fine...Katana 'old friend'" she emphasized

"Who the hell is it-"she stoped as the air hitched in her throat but got it back "you get the hell away from me and this village. Traitor! Now leave or I will be forced to make you." she sneared throw clinched teeth

"That's no welcome, Katana." he grabbed Kaya and brought a kunai to her throat,

Katana didn't flinch or fidget she wasn't scared or shocked.

"Put her down now Mazuki!" she hissed

"Not unless you come with me."

"Put her down."

"No."

That was it "PUT HER THE HELL DOWN OR I WILL DESPACH OF YOU LIKE I ALMOST DID ZABUZA THIS MORNING!!" she was far beyond help. He pushed the Kunai down on Kaya's throat cutting it. Katana pulled out her sword and ran straight at him disappearing seconds before him. She kicked him in the back forcing him to let go of Kaya and into the house, she ran and punched him in the face with force.

"Katana, what's going on?" Sasuke called running in with Kiba and Akamaru.

"Don't worry just get Kaya and get out of here. Go to the Hokage and tell him The Shuruki is renavigating, now. GO!" she yelled clashing sword with sword "Kiba go. Please," she kicked Mazuki in the front and gut. She went over to him, taking his hands in hers.

"Go. This is my fight and I'm not letting you or the others or this village in it. I'm not letting you's lose your home." when she tried to let go and run off, Kiba grabbed her hands. Sasuke got Kaya and was already gone.

"Kiba please go," she begged as a tear ran down her face for the first time ever.

"How old were you when you lost your clan?"

"Five."

"The village?"

"Ten."

"And now?"

"Sixteen. Kiba go. Please," her voice stoped and she didn't know what she was saying but guessed she had said it when she was in her clan "Please, go, run, please Kiba I don't want to lose you or this village." what did she just say?

Kiba pulled Katana right into him and whispered in her ear "And I don't ether but i'm not letting you do this alone Katana. I want to help you."

"But-"

"Please. I don't want to lose you." he said lying his head on her shoulder. Katana felt her heart sink and skip a beat. What was it? What did it have to do with Kiba?

"Kiba, pl-" she whispered but got cut off

"Aww...isn't that cute. He's in love. ha... Pathetic and pointless. She doesn't understand the first thing about it," Mazuki said walking over. Katana spun around in time and the tip of her sword was at his neck.

"Back down Mazuki or I will be force to fight you." she hissed pushing her sword harder to his throat.

"No... I suggest you back down Katana, cause you out numbered." Zabuza said walking in the door with eight other men.

"Kiba get Akamaru and get out of here now," she said so only he could heartbeats "No, Katana. I'm not going." he protested grabbing her other hand tightly.

Katana sighed 'he's so hard to get to do something.'

"The men started surrounding them. 'Oh-no. I have to get Kiba and Akamaru out of here.' she thought looking around 'the hall to my room. We can got out my window.' Katana clinched Kiba's hand, Akamaru jumped in Kiba's jacket.

Kiba looked at his hand when he felt presser on it 'what the? Why such a tight grip?'

Katana took a deep breath moving her sword away from Mazuki's neck and put it in its sheath. Her feet turned to the left so they thought she would run that way and it did, they ran over there and Katana turned heel with Kiba and ran straight to her open window. Her room is turned upside down like a hurricane hit it. Jumping over her stuff, she jumped on her bed grabbing her bandana and jacket and jumped out the window with Kiba and Akamaru.

Sasuke had run all the way to the Academy carrying Kaya. Naruto, Sakura, Ino and Shikamaru ran up to him and Kaya.

"What happened, Sasuke?" Sakura asked checking for any wounds.

"Quit it!" he snapped and she jumped and moved away. "Katana's in trouble. Where's Lord Hokage?"

"In his study, why?" Naruto asked

"Never mind. Take Kaya. I need to talk with the Hokage," he gave Kaya to them and ran off again.

"I wonder what he needs to talk to the Hokage about?" Ino asked checking Kaya for any wounds inflicted on her, only finding the one on her neck.

"Lord Hokage. Lord Hokage!?" Sasuke called running to the Hokage's study.

"What is it Sasuke?" the Hokage asked walking out.

"I need to talk to you."

"Let's talk," he turned and went back into his study. "What's the matter?"

"It's not me. It's Katana," he puffed

"What has happened?" he asked more worried

"The Shuruki are back." he said

"The Shuruki...oh-no. Where is she now?"

"She told me to ger Kaya and get out of there but Kiba wouldn't leave without her so they may have gotten out."

"This is not good. Get all your friends and get them ready." he ranted in a panic.

"Yes Lord Hokage." Sasuke ran off again and left the Hokage to do his work.

Katana ran as fast as possible jumping from roof to roof till she got to Kiba's house.

"Katana what's-" he chocked jumping in a window.

"KIBA where have-" Shino started

"Shut up Shino!" Katana snapped surprising Hinata, Shino, Rock-lee (who had woken up and ran off), Neji, Choji and Tenten. "Get over yourself and listen," he shut his mouth sitting down, Katana let go of Kiba so he sat down. "Have you guy's heard of The Shuruki?" Neji, Hinata, Tenten and Choji nodded.

"They destroyed the water village and I think the Kasuma clan,"

"Exactly."

"What do you mean exactly?" Tenten asked

"They killed my clan and the village that took me in and now their here." Everyone's mouth dropped but Kiba's

"What?" Choji stated

"Yeah and that's why I'm here. Even though I don't want any of you involved in this I need your help and Sasuke went and to the Hokage and told him." Katana said walking back and forth.

"Katana calm down." Neji said grabbing her arm almost tripping her over from grabbing her all of a sudden. Katana get her balance, turning her head and glared at him, snatched her arm away. She walked over to Kiba and sat on the floor with Akamaru rubbing her wrist.

"Stupid boys think they can just grab me and think I'm-" she muttered angrily stopping "QUIT LOOKING AT ME LIKE I'M CRAZY!!!!" she snapped at everyone. They looked away and continued whatever they were doing.

Kiba leaned down and whispered in her ear. "Don't worry. He just want's you to stop your façade,"

"That's what I'm worried about Kiba," she paused looking over everyone to Neji, who was talking to Rock-lee and Choji. "Last time I checked all the boys liked me and if I have to deal with that cold prick I will snap someone's neck." she cracked her knuckles ready to actually do it.

"Chill. I'm sure he-" he stopped seeing Neji glance at Katana and heard her growl louder every second. "Never mind." he said sighing.

CRASH! Glass smashed, everyone jumped up ready to fight. Katana was pissed off and didn't want to deal with nonsense.

"Katana you know you can't hide from me, now come," the man said, putting out a hand to her and she kicked it away, glaring at him. "Come now, don't be like that." He put it there again once more getting it kicked away. Katana stood up, turned and started walking away. The man grabbed her shoulder, turning her to him. She had it with this guy. Her fist's balled up at her side.

"Let the hell go of me Mahiru," she hissed

"No."

"Do it."

"No." Katana sighed out of frustration. She lay a hand on his, turning around and flipped him onto his back.

"Why are you here?"

No reply. "Answer me!" she flipped him onto his gut and pulled his arms over his head.

"To get you," he whined

"Why?"

"Cause you're the last Kasuma left of the clan."

"What do you want with me?"

"Your life. We couldn't kill you then cause you were to young."

"Yet you killed every other being!?"

"We had orders."

"By who?"

"I don't know,"

"Well I'm going to make your job harder for you by killing you." she said like a crazy person.

"Why would you?"

"Figure it out yourself." she pulled out her sword, stabbing him in the heard and pulled it out. She didn't even look at the others just ran and jumped throw the now broken window. Kiba and Akamaru ran off after Katana quickly. Tenten and Hinata followed with the boys behind. She ran all the way to the Academy to see almost every ninja, who went to the Academy they're talking together. Sasuke, Kaya, Sakura, Ino, Tamari, Shikamaru, Naruto and Konkaro talking Garra just standing there. When Kaya saw Katana she jumped up and ran over yelling "Katana your ok!" getting everyone's attention.

The Hokage walked over to Katana. "Are you alright?"

"Fine but what the?" she looked around at everyone there.

"This is our home and won't let The Shuruki destroy it and take you Katana." he said

Kakashi walked over and said "Your family and friend to this village and were not going down without a fight. Now what do you know about The Shuruki?" Katana sighed and told them everything she knew.
