Chapter 2.

She raised her hand to shield her green eyes against the sun's rays, even though it was a dim ray, it was still there. With a small smile she turned to Suigetsu and pointed to the road called Fukitsu, a main road that would lead to the heart of the Hidden Mist. "Fukitsu's we're we want to go!" she said with great enthusiasm.

"Really?" Suigetsu sat down on a rock that was right next to the sign. "Lets start after a brake."

"Yeah right! The suns out for once, this is a good start for us." Furui said to him angrily.

"And why is that?" he asked resting his chin of his hand.

Furui walked closer to him and went in his face, "because then there wont be any shinobi trying to steal our stuff." she said with her forehead now touching his.

"I can take on any shinobi that comes our way!" he said pushing his forehead so she could get off him.

"Hm, your so stubborn, but really we should go now." she pulled his sleeve so he would come.

They began to walk for a few minutes, and the rare morning rays that blessed them for such a short time began to fade into the ugly, dull, mist they were born in. From time to time Suigetsu heard the small music coming from the Tanto they got from the shop, and Raiga's swords were now sealed in a scroll that was tucked away in Furui's yukata.

"So Suigetsu, how strong would you say you've grown since our last real Dojo?" Furui asked braking the silence.

He sighed and thought for a moment, "a lot, from what Orochimaru put me through, that's the least I can say."

"Least?"

"You wouldn't understand."

"What? Did he have other test subjects with weird genetic powers fight against you?" she said laughing, Suigetsu didn't say anything. When she noticed this she stopped and let him walk passed her, "hey—hey Suigetsu." she ran up next to him, "I was only kidding, I mean, a guy as strong as him wouldn't need to do that right?"

"Furui..." he closed his eyes and shot them open to her, "don't ever mention that mans name again, if you do, you'll regret it!" he said in a deep serious tone. He set a hand on her shoulder as they both stopped walking, "got it?"

"Yeah..." she said looking at him.

"Then we're on the same level." he continued walking folding his hands behind his head.

Furui watched the large silver sword shine in the dim light they were in, she smiled as she saw this. 'You're exactly the same, Suigetsu.' she thought and began to fallow him.

"Then what about you, Furui Nanakasu, you really managed to train to be a entertainer and a shinobi at the same time?" said Suigetsu.

"I'm a performer, and yes, I have been." she said correcting him and answering his question.

"Alone?"

"Well all the Swordsmen left along with you, of course I trained alone. Plus who would want a student of one of the Seven Swordsmen to be in their household. You destroyed every chance for me to become a successful kunoichi."

"I destroyed? As I remember it was your logic that told me to fight the way I did." he said folding his arms.

"Don't twist what I said when I was 8! I said: 'Suigetsu, if you want to be like Zabuza, logic would say to start fighting like him'." she said with a finger up to prove her point.

"I did!"

"NO! You cut off their legs, arms, then head! Not even Zabuza did that!" she shouted at him.

"He did too!"

"Cutting people in two is way different then making them suffer and scream until their last breath!"

Suigetsu laughed, "so maybe I got carried away, you can't blame me."

"Yeah, yeah." she sighed and looked ahead of herself, "those were the days..." she said with a small smile.

"I'm surprised you didn't turn out like me, I mean, your dad and uncle were part of the Hoshigaki family, by legends and history known to be the fiercest shinobi. Your dad was nice and all, but man, when I tagged along on missions with him, you'd even be shocked."

"Well I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell me what my dad did on his missions," she pointed a finer up again, "mother always said never to ask questions on dads missions because they were top secret and confidential."

"Yeah they were, but she never told you to ask him about what he did after the missions."

She shot a look at him, "what do you mean?"

"I said it already, the Hoshigaki Family is known to be the fiercest, you think Kisame-senpai and Akisami-sama would just go on missions? Don't be stupid, we both know they hated this place and called themselves by their last name rather then the village they were born in."

She looked down and glared at the thought of her uncle, "I'm not stupid."

"Hm?"

"I know what they did after their missions! Don't you think I know how my father died?" she almost shouted.

"What are you talking—"

"Suigetsu, your the ignorant one at the moment, I very well knew what they did, why do you think my mother didn't give me that last name?" Suigetsu only stared at her, "she knew that name would ruin me if anything happened to her, she knew if I carried that last name I'd be forced to become a monster like—like...Kisame!" she clenched her hands.

Suigetsu saw her red cheeks, her wicked eyes, her trembling shoulders. He didn't understand why she was so angry and snapped at him so suddenly. "hey...Furui..." She looked down and her hair shaded her eyes.

"My whole life I thought I was never going to get the chance. I thought I would never see him again, my whole life I thought I'd just move on and live a normal life...but...I knew, I knew there was a one percent chance of me getting the opportunity, just one, but it was enough to make me work hard." she looked at him.

"I don't know—"

"Kisame Hoshigaki, my dear uncle, killed Akisame Hoshigaki and Misora Nanakusa, my parents!" she said sternly.

Suigetsu was still, he stared at Furui in the eyes, "no...way..."

"Yes..." she turned her head angrily as she repeated such harsh reality. Then her face was filled with regret and sorrow as it ran through her mind for the moment, "right in front of me."

"Uh!" his eyes widened in shock. She closed her eyes.

As if she were a coward, an eight-year-old Furui ran into her room and went under the bed. Small drops of blood were on her cheeks. Her father was already dead outside, she saw the silhouette of her mother holding a sword. "How dare you!" she heard her mother say, "how dare you threaten the life of my daughter!" she tried to cut the larger figure seen. She heard horrible scream and the paper of the walls tear as blood splattered as a giant sword had finished her mother off. All that was heard was a body fall to the ground.

Furui's eyes were wide, she saw the same giant silhouette kick the body to the side and extended his hand. She saw the pale hand with black nails side the door open, she then sealed her eyes shut and covered her ears. If she didn't hear or see him, logic to her would say he wouldn't be able to see nor hear her as well. As she slightly opened one eye she saw a foot kick the bed away, she sat up and backed against the wall looking up to a familiar face. "U-Uncle Kisame?" she said in a small scared voice. "Why?" her eyes began to fill with tears.

He glared at her for a moment, she was still crying. A smile crept on his face, out of no where her eyes shot open, a feeling overwhelmed her, it wasn't terror, fear, it wasn't an emotion. "Uncle—Kisame...why?" she said again, her hands were still trembling and her eyes were fixed on nothing but her feeling.

"Because..." he bared his teeth as his smile grew. "Lets see how much I can hate you." he said never answering her question. He took the handle of his Samehada and raised it, her eyes widened as she screamed when he used all his strength to make it come towards her. It was silent, when she opened her eyes the giant sword was an inch away from her face, it hit the ground. He put the sword on his back and walked away, without saying a word, he slid the door closed and his silhouette disappeared, she stood up and waited for something to happen, but nothing did.

Suigetsu stared at her for a moment after she told him what exactly happened. He knew that someone had killed her parents, that someone threatened the life of her as well, but he didn't know it was her uncle. "Furui, I didn't know, I mean you lived with Kisame-senpai after they died." he said.

"I know, it was a choice I had no control over." she said and sighed, "he never said why he killed them though, it was out of no where when they came from a mission. 'lets see how much I can hate you' thats all he said." she began to walk again. She looked up and saw a kunai coming straight towards her face, she jumped away and looked at Suigetsu.

A smile was on his face as he put his hand on the handle of his Hocho, "I guess we should have left earlier while the sun was out." Suigetsu said.

A man who looked more determined then ever with a short sword of his own was standing before them, he was a man who wanted to steal everything they had. "If you give me your items then I wont take your lives!" he said in a serious tone.

"Hm, do you think we should listen to him, Furui?" Suigetsu asked her with a smile, his sword was now on your shoulder.

"I'm dead serious!" he shouted at the both.

Furui took a few steps forward, she put three fingers up, "if you don't run away when I count to three, I wont be able to stop my partner here if he tries to kill you."

"Ha, a kid like him?" he said. Suigetsu bared his teeth.

"Three..." she put a finger down, "two..." Suigetsu was ready to charge at the thief, "I'm sorry, one." Suigetsu appeared right behind the man, his sword was at his neck. Blood seemed to fly in the air as Suigetsu did a perfect slice through his neck. "huh?" Furui was confused, the body turned into water. She shot around as the same man was behind her, "a water clone?" she said and pulled out her Tanto.

"Damn it." Suigetsu grew angry and ran towards the man.

Furui blocked another kunai and dodged a few hits from him. She did a black flip to kick him in the face and jumped to a tree branch. When she watched the man jump towards her, she closed her eyes. This time real blood was spilled, she opened her eyes and looked at the red stain on the trunk of the tree she was one. She stood up and looked at Suigetsu raise to stand tall again.

"I see your a little more faster then before." she said to him.

"Five years of brutal training has it's positive sides." he said looking at her, she could see small drops of blood slide down his sword. Exactly the way Zabuza would have it when he came from missions. Suigetsu's eyes widened as someone appeared behind Furui, he took a step forward to charge at whoever it was coming towards her. Again, blood was spilled.

When he looked at the blood drip to the ground, he looked up and saw Furui still while holding her Tanto. She pulled the Tanto out of the man behind her and set it back on her side, the body fell to the ground. "and now I see five years did some good for you too." he said as she jumped to the ground. She walked to the man and went through his pockets. "what are you doing?" he asked.

"One reason why I don't slice my enemies in pieces is because they might have valuables I can take." she said.

"Like what?" she pulled out a small pack and pulled the string to open it. He saw a large amount of gold coins.

"I hate cleaning, so I just kill them, rather then play with them. Back where you found me a lot of missing-nins would torment the kids and there was only one way to stop them." she said and set the pouch in you yukata. "by ending them, plus, bloods the worst when it stains, so I'll avoid making them bleed all over themselves."

Suigetsu did a short laugh as he glanced at the dead man, "he looks pretty bloody to me."

"Well not as much as yours!" she shouted in defense.

"Yeah, yeah." he said walking away and put his sword on his back again.

They were sitting on a tree now, Suigetsu drinking and Furui eating the last Dango. They watched as the heart of the main village was over casted with mist, they could hear people, work being done, and from time to time seeing shinobi jump from roof top to roof top.

"Where is it we have to go?" Suigetsu asked making himself comfortably against the large trunk of the tree.

She pointed to a large building near the Mizukage's place. "There, it's a building called, Tazunebito, where the files of all the escaped missing-nin are kept. If we're lucky then the room where I went with Uncle Kisame many times is still the same room."

"So what do we do when we go there?" he asked leaning in to see the old gray building.

"We'll look for all the swordsmen files and their whereabouts, it'll be easy." she said with a smile.

"What do we do if we get caught?" he asked.

"We take the files and run." she said lightly.

"No way!"

"Yes way! What do you expect, take on half the village if the alarm system goes off?" she shouted at him. He glared at her then stood up.

"Fine, lets go then." he said jumping away. She did the same and both faded when entering the mist.

Suigetsu poked his head out behind a wall and saw a man step out of the Tazunebito building, the man sneezed and continued walking. Suigetsu looked back and nodded to Furui, both disappeared and were on the metal balcony of the building.

"Are you sure it's the room?" he asked her.

"Yeah." she said cupping her hand to look in the window, "Uncle Kisame sent me here loads of times, all for the same reason."

"And may I ask what reasons were those?" he said and folded his arms.

She looked at him and opened the window, "to terminate those who abandoned the village."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I asked him once why the Mizukage's always sending him on these missions and he always said he's doing his 'own work' or whatever that meant. I think he just wanted to kill people."

"I bet." he said while she climbed in the room.

When they both were finally inside and looked at all the file cabinets, she looked ran her finger over the labels that wrote A-Ac. When she looked down a few more cases down she finally saw the label she was looking for.

"Here." she said pointing to At-Aw.

Suigetsu kneeled down to look at the file she opened. She looked trough them all and stopped, "what?" he asked her.

"Can you at least look for all the others?" she asked him.

"Yeah, yeah..." he got up and looked for the other names. Within a few minutes both had two files already in their hands. "Found your uncle." Suigetsu said pulling out the file.

She looked at it while he held it up, "good..." she said and closed the file.

They looked at all of them, Yabai Takashi, Hozuki Mangetsu, Awamori Ren, Sonki Kigai, and Hoshigaki Kisame, all found by their last name. They smiled as they were ready to leave and began to walk towards the window. "Don't worry, I'll file the guy right now." both heard.

"Uh!" Furui tried to run for the window. A hand went on her shoulder.

"No!" he hissed at her.

The door knob began to turn, "hey Tai, file him later, lets go out to eat." they then heard, "good idea." they heard deathly close to the door. The door knob was let go and steps were heard walking away. Furui walked up to the window and saw a group of men with head pieces with the Hidden Mist symbol on them.

"Suigetsu." she said.

"Yeah?"

"If one of them walked in, what would you've done?" she asked tuning to him.

"Kill him, what else?" he said walking up to the window as well. He saw the last man turn the corner and was out of site. "there's no use for weak people in this world."

"No, I'm sure there is." she opened the window and stepped out. She closed it because she knew Suigetsu was already out.

"Name one." both jumped to the ground with files.

"I haven't thought of one." he smiled when she said this.

They began to walk down a main road where many people were. They saw the stands with odd things being sold and kids running away from older people, most likely from things they stole. Suigetsu had his hands folded behind his back while Furui had all five files in her arms. She felt they were more safer with her, a reason why she carried the money and the scroll that had Raiga's swords.

"Hey Suigetsu?" she turned to him while still walking.

"Hm?" he didn't look at her.

"Who exactly were you with before you came back?"

"Tsk—some kid who couldn't get over his families death, a guy who couldn't control himself, and some girl."

"What were their names?"

"Why do you want to know?"

"Because."

"Karin, Jugo, and Sasuke Uchiha."

"Uchiha, hey that sounds familiar."

"The Uchiha clan."

"The one who got wiped out?"

"Yep."

She laughed a bit, "I guess it's not an uncommon thing to get your whole family killed off, I wonder if it was right in front of him."

"I doubt it, people aren't like Kisame-senpai." Suigetsu noticed more people began to pass by them. "Lets go now, I don't want to be scene anymore."

"I think thats a little to late." Furui said looking behind her.

"What do you—"

"Stop right there!" a shinobi shouted chasing them.

Suigetsu was about to raise his hand to grab his Hocho, "now way!" Furui said grabbing his arm and made him run.

"Furui we can take them!"

"We don't want to be scene, then everyone's going to say, 'Furui Nanakusa and Suigetsu Hozuki were caught taking something from the Tazunebito building!'" They were now jumping.

"And?"

"If word spreads out then they'll know we teamed up for one reason, what you've been saying your whole life and what I've said my whole life."

"About the swords?"

"Remember?" She shouted at him, they were now very far away from anyone chasing them, they stopped on a tree. "You always said you wanted to be a swordsman and I said I would do everything to help you. Imagine if word spreads that we both took all the files of the swordsmen, we'd be the prime suspects to all the Seven Swordsmen."

"I guess."

"Lets go still, they wont give up so easily." both disappeared.

They were sitting at a table in an Inn, the files were on the table and they seemed to have gotten away scott-free from the shinobi chasing them. Furui was looking at one file while the others were on the bed, she stared at the picture of a man who had his hair ruffled and messy even though it was very short. Suigetsu was looking at all the reports that were about him.

"It says here Awamori was bailed out of execution when he was caught helping take over the nation." he said.

"He was bailed?" she looked at the report herself, "so in other words he told on everyone who took part of the coup d'etat, that traitor."

"Another reason to make his death a slow one."

"Every time I ran into that guy when I was a kid he was always drinking, once he was on the ground passed out with an empty bottle in his hand." she said annoyed.

"Hey, I think I remember that." Suigetsu said looking up at her.

"C'mon, all we'll do is play with his sword while he's on the ground and before he wakes up we'll put it back." Suigetsu whispered to her.

"Yeah right! And what do we do if we get caught?" Furui said angry that he even said the idea. They both looked down at Awamori in his vest that was stained with blood. His sword was laying on the ground, Furui took a step to the side and knocked a bottle with her foot. Awamori shifted and both Suigetsu and Furui froze in fear, Awamori murmured something and went on his side to sleep.

"C'mon, we wont get caught." he pick up his sword, he was a little more heavy then he thought it might have been.

Furui stared at the dark metal as it shinned in the little light there was in the mist. Suigetsu swung it around and let it rest on his shoulder. "Wanna try?" he asked her.

"Uh...I'm not sure."

"Fine, be a baby."

"Give me that!" she shouted and was about to grab the dark brown handle.

"Oooo, is someone holding Ren's Kirikata?" Furui and Suigetsu shot around and saw a man with dark blue hair. His bangs covered half his face, "Thank you Majime." A small girl with her hair tied up nodded and was about to turn away.

"Maji you tattle tail! If I ever get in a Dojo with you then I'll cut out that tongue so you can never tell on us again!" Suigetsu shouted at her.

"We're in big trouble Suigetsu." Furui said. He jumped right by them and looked at the sword that was now on the ground, Furui went on her knees and had her hands as if she were praying. "Please forgive us Takashi-sama!"

Takashi laughed, "you both are in for a big one."

Suigetsu had his arms and legs crossed, his face seemed to be as if he were annoyed, "I never did give that brat what she deserved."

Furui smiled, "she always told on us, every time." she laughed, "what happened to her anyways?"

"I think when her sister left she ran away, well thats what I heard." he relaxed and looked at the files more.

"Well, it says here the last time Awamori was seen was in—the Land of Waves." Furui said sitting up, "that seems a bit close don't you think?"

"When was this?" Suigetsu asked.

"Three weeks ago, exactly."

He stared at the file report, it seems that Awamori was only glimpsed, and a picture was taken of him. A very typical one, he was giving money to a shop owner while he bought saki. "Man, people never do change, do they?" he said looking up at her.

"No, unfortunately they don't." she said and looked out the window. It was a full moon, she saw a few stars, she got up and walked to her bed on the right side of the room, "I'm tiered."

Suigetsu yawned and stretched, "good idea." he walked to his bed, "tomorrow we'll leave to the Land of Waves." he said sitting on his bed that was on the left side of the room. He flipped the switch and the lights were out.

Furui's green eyes were still open looking at the moon, she slowly closed them to fall asleep. Suigetsu was looking at the moon, angry at something, as his eyes glared at it.

This time Furui was wearing a pack on her back to hold the files of all the swordsmen. Suigetsu was leaning against the railing of the boat they were on, Furui turned around and walk to it as well, when she leaned over it too look at the water she sighed. "Man, I have to come there again." said Suigetsu.

"What do you mean?" she asked while leaning against the rail as well.

"I came here with Sasuke to get the Kubikiri Hocho, it was a journey."

"And where was it?"

"At his grave, by some other one."

"Another one?"

"Yeah, I don't know who it was."

Furui laughed, "Zabuza was never really a good teacher."

"Shut up! He was way better then Akisame-sama and Kisame-senpai!"

"Oh yeah?" she shouted turning to him.

"Yeah!"

"At least my teacher didn't leave for some pretty boy named Haku!"

"Huh! Your—" Suigetsu was now red in the face.

Furui smiled folding her arms, "what now tough boy, you were nothing to Zabuza and you know it."

Suigetsu turned his head, "whatever, at least mine didn't kill off my family." Suigetsu realized what he said and looked at her.

Furui was looking at the water and rested her elbows on the railing, "your right." Suigetsu looked away, even though he did feel someone bad that he said this, but at the same time he felt Furui had it coming. She started the argument and it seemed she had ended it.

They were walking on a nicely built bridge called the "Great Naruto Bridge" a bridge that only Furui heard about when it was being built. She knew a very strong shinobi was killed on it, but she didn't know it was Zabuza Momochi, a man who she thought the only way suitable for him to die by was an execution. One she wished Kisame would have given him earlier. The people seemed very happy there, unlike the Hidden Mist there were many parts that were filled with the sun light and when she thought about it she now knew why Awamori Ren would chose to be here. It wasn't a large country and the chances for anything bad that might happen to it would be a storm, she could think of no other negative thought.

Suigetsu was looking around while drinking water, it was a nice place to him as well, but all he noticed was how happy everyone was. And to him having the best for people only dehumanizes people, one main reason is because they'll expect nothing less. He stopped and looked at the picture of Awamori, their target, and saw that after stepping off the bridge there were many stands that resembled the one in the picture.

"Hey Furui." he said showing the picture to her, "looks familiar doesn't it?"

She took the picture and looked around herself, she stopped suddenly and saw that one stand looked like the one in the picture exactly. From the color of the wood, the red seats, to the sign that said, "Saki" on it.

"Suigetsu, we're in luck, thats the exact stand." she said turning to him.

He smiled and walked towards it, "lets ask around for him."

After a good hour they were standing in a designated area, a man was on his knees begging to Furui. "Please, please don't kill me!" he said terrified with a bloody lip.

"Hey Suigetsu, when I asked you to ask around, I didn't mean take people against their will." Furui said feeling sorry for the old man.

Suigetsu set his foot on his back and had the old man pinned down, "look geezer, all you have to do is tell me about a man named Awamori Ren, you heard of him?"

"Ren? Ren who loves saki?" the old man said trembling.

"Yes, him." Furui said kneeling down to get a better look at the old man.

"Well, he's been around here for a while, before the bridge was built."

'So he was even here when Zabuza was killed.' Furui thought.

"Anything else?" asked Suigetsu pressing harder on the mans back.

"Uh-uh, I think he lives near the edge of the beach, in a small house, a really small one, by the light house." Suigetsu pressed even harder, "thats all I know!"

"Get off him Suigetsu." Furui said still looking at the old man.

"Pathetic, you'd think after a country went trough so much they'd try and get stronger." Suigetsu said and kicked the man to get up, "get out of here, and you better not say a word about us!" the old man was running as fast as he could.

Furui stood up, "man, you could be a little more pleasant, I mean, the man has less the half his teeth." she said.

"Yeah, yeah, well at least we have an idea where he is. Lets go." he said walking towards the beach.

"Fine." she said as the old man was finally out of site.

When they reached the beach they took in the scene. In the Hidden Mist, beaches were either extremely windy or engulfed in an everlasting fog. Not even the light housed there could be seen at a certain distance. But this place, it was sunny, light, people were playing and walking on the warm sand, Furui kneeled down and set her hand on the sand to feel the warmth that put a smile of her face.

"Too bad it wasn't like this in Kirigakure, maybe everyone would lighten up if it were like this." she said then turning to Suigetsu.

"You really say useless things." was all he said.

Furui gripped and hand full of sand and threw it to his face. "You don't know what a conversation starter is, do you?" she yelled out him.

He rubbed his eyes and grabbed a kunai from his side pack, "I'm not in the mood."

"Are you ever?" she took a step to the side to dodge the kunai thrown at him.

Suigetsu smiled and appeared behind her, he tried to punch her but failed when she ducked down. She tried to trip him but missed when he jumped up, they both jumped away from each other glaring hoping the other would look away first. Furui and Suigetsu looked to the side at the same time to see two small children staring at them with blank faces on, they then smiled. "Wow!" one of them said.

"Thats so cool!" said the other.

Furui smiled at them about to say something, "if you two stay there another five seconds I'll make sure that kunai hits you bullseye in the throat." Suigetsu said baring his teeth from an evil smile.

Both kids ran away and were out of site, "Suigetsu, are you ever pleasant?"

"Hm, pleasant isn't something a shinobi needs."

"All you had to do was say no, thats all." she said walking towards the cliffs, "lets go."

As they were on the rocks Suigetsu looked up shading his eyes from the bright sun. Furui was trying to look for a better path to walk, but it seemed Awamori didn't want to be visited that often. When they reached the top all they saw was a light house and a small wooden home about 100 feet away from it. The house looked a lot like the ones in the Hidden Mist, which wasn't surprising because Awamori was a citizen who 'didn't mind the Hidden Mist lifestyle'.

"Do you think he knows someones coming?" Furui asked.

"Who cares, we get in, ambush him, kill him, and take his sword." Suigetsu said looking at the house.

"Easier said then done."

"We'll see." he then began to walk towards the house. "Besides, he's probably drunk in his bed or on the floor."

Furui laughed, "I bet." she stopped and the sound of the bell on her Tanto was heard. "Hey Suigetsu, wait." she said to him.

Suigetsu stopped and looked ahead of himself. Both stared as a small girl, maybe a year younger was walking in a pale gray yukata, she walked away from the house and headed for the fields behind the houses.

"Who's that?" Suigetsu asked.

"I don't know, but she looks familiar." she said, "I'll go see who that is and you take Awamori down, if you need any help then I'll be at your side in a second." she turned around and smiled. Both disappeared from sight.

Furui was on a tree and looked down, the small girl, who was small from her frail figure of hunger and weakness, was kneeling down picking weeds. Furui jumped to the ground and began to walk towards the girl, she stopped as the girl stood up. She had a bloody lip and bruised arm, both stared at each other.

"Who are you?" the girl asked.

"What happened to you?" Furui said walking up to her and looked at her face, she pulled out a small container with ointment, "this will help—"

The girl hit her hand away, she had dark brown hair and red eyes, her skin was light but much darker then Furui's and Suigetsu's. "I don't need your assistance."

"I was only trying to help, but it your going to act that way then I'll just get down to business."

"Business?"

Furui pulled out her Tanto and held it to the girl neck, "take one move and I wont hesitate to shove this in you chest." the girl stared at her in the eyes, "who lives in the wooden house back there?"

The girls eyes narrowed in anger, she pulled out a kunai and tried to slice Furui's hand off, it was stopped and knocked of her hand by Furui's Tanto. The girl tried to jump away only to be right in front of Furui again. "who...are..."

"I guess I didn't make myself clear, if you move, then I'll kill you." she was silent, "what is you name?"

The girl gulped, "Ma—Majime, Majime Sonki." she said in a terrified tone, the moment she had said the name, Furui set her sword down.

"Maji?"

Majime Sonki, sister of Kigai Sonki, a member of the Seven Swordsmen in the Hidden Mist. Kigai was the only female swordsmen and was more of a tomboy then the shy girl Maji was when she was small. Furui and Suigetsu knew and labeled Maji as a snitch, since all she did was tell on them about their plans on trying to touch the swords or watch the swordsmen train. Maji was in fact responsible for Suigetsu and Furui many beatings from Takashi. When ever they got the chance they would try and get Maji herself in trouble, but there was only one time where they had their chance. And failed.

"All right!" Suigetsu said peeking trough a hole at Maji.

She was looking at kunai's in a shed that belonged to the Seven Swordsmen specifically and it was off limits to anyone besides them. Maji broke this rule for the first time ever.

"Let's go tell on her now." Furui said pulling his arm.

"No, I want to see what else she's going to do." he said pulling his arm back.

"If we stay here any longer then we'll get in trouble too!" Furui said annoyed, "fine, I'll go myself." she turned around and bumped into something tough, Furui's eyes watered and looked up to see Zabuza Momochi glaring at her. "Suigetsu." she said.

"Shut up, she's grabbing shuriken too, ha! This is great." he said happily.

"Suigetsu." Furui said again backing away.

"I said—" he paused and slowly turned around, "oh...crap."

That night they had come to the bunks late because of their punishment. When they walked passed one bunk in particular they saw Maji sound asleep, not hurt, not in pain, and not punished as they were. They would later find out that she lied and said Suigetsu and Furui had threatened her to go get the weapons for themselves, something they never got over, and vowed they would make her pay for. Maji was very witty in fact, they gave her that much credit, but at times she was too much of it, which would get on anyone's nerve.

After the attempt to overthrow the Hidden Mist, Kigai Sonki who took part in it, ran away leaving her sister behind. Tramatized and overwhelmed with lonliness, Maji had left as well. Since then Furui had not even a clue where she had went. Until now.

Suigetsu peeked through a window, there laying in a bed was a body. It was none other then Ren Awamori himself.

Stay tuned for more!!:)
