Chapter 9.

The blue sky began to have an overcast of white clouds streaming through it as if a light storm were going to approach. Furui looked up as she always had when they weather acted as if it were angry. Then again, to her of course, she didn't know why she thought of the weather as if it were a person. Anger. The sky doesn't get mad. Unless some shinobi was behind it. She continued to walk down a path with a paper bag of food from the local food stands. Her beautiful black kimono made her look just like any other girl, maybe a girl who had more privileges, but based on looks no one would assume she was a shinobi. She had her tanto concealed so no one could see it and for good reasons too. She looked behind her and disappeared from sight, and began to jump from tree, to tree, to a remote area where she saw Majime sitting by herself on a rock. Majime quickly shot up and smiled.

"You're back." Majime said in her sweet tone.

"Yeah, sorry I was a little long, but the market was so crowded, in the Hidden Mist it was never crowded like that, ever." Furui said.

"Yeah, people just starved." Suigetsu said, he was standing right next to Furui and pulled out a bottle of water from her paper bag.

"As if you ever cared for anyone." Furui whispered with a witty glare.

"Mm?" Suigetsu glared at her back.

"Uh, I'll cook dinner now." Majime said waving her hands and took the bag from Furui. 'Man, they always fight.' she thought in her mind.

Furui sighed and leaned back to fall on the ground. Suigetsu looked at her with her closed eyes and brown hair spread out, the locks of her hair shined in the peeking sun. He sat down and glanced down at her.

"It's been a week since we've found each other, maybe we can take a day off in training, Majime's been getting more and more dizzy from her seal jutsu's." Suigetsu said then turning back to the view of the field and small cottage they were renting. He saw smoke raise from the chimney meaning Majime really did start to make dinner. He then hoped it was something good.

"I'm worried about Majime." Furui said with her eyes closed. "She sleeps too much, she doesn't eat as much as she could, and she could only train a few hours a day..." she sat up, "you don't think shes sick do you?"

"No, no way." Suigetsu said to her while looking into her eyes. "Majime's stronger then that."

"Do you think we should take her to the doctors at least?"

"No way, shes fine."

"I don't know."

"Furui!" Suigetsu snapped, he then looked away and back at the view. "Majime's fine." he said in a small voice. "Our only worry with her is to make sure ROOT stays away from her, once they find out shes the sister of Kigai then they'll just use her as bate, you know what Kigai did to ROOT, they hete all Sonki's."

"She killed half their elite in three minutes..." Furui said.

"Over Majime, remember that."

The claim was too true. When Majime and Kigai Sonki ran away from the Rain Village, the main leader Danzou was aware of this and thought it would be in the new leader, Pain, favor to kill them off. But even at age 14, Kigai Sonki was underestimated of her strength. Danzou sent a many squads of ROOT's most strongest shinobi to kill the two children off. Kigai and her seal skills was able to completely annihilate half the man and the rest were either missing a limb or barely clinging to life. No facts about why she massacred them so carelessly, but Mangestu told Suigtsu that there was a reason the shinobi of the Hidden Mist never got Majime in trouble for disobeying or causing ruckus. Kigai was a ruthless girl, and was gladly accepted by the Mizukage as being one of the Seven Swordsmen.

Suigetsu always knew Furui for being an exaggerator, she worried a lot, and seemed to over analyze everything. But for good reasons like this, Furui cared about Majime, ever since they were little. Majime was one of the few who didn't care about Furui's and Suigetsu's orphan status. This thought got Suigetsu's a bit curious.

"Hey, Furui." Suigetsu said to get ready and ask the question.

"Yeah?" she pulled a blade of grass from the ground.

Suigetsu looked at her as she twirled the piece of grass between two fingers. "When you told me about Kisame killing your parents," she paused as he began to speak. "You said you had not choice about something, what did you mean?"

Furui let go of the grass and saw the small breeze make it flutter in air, "I had no choice." she looked down at her hands. "What was I suppose to do?"

Furui stood up and looked around, waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. It was silent as she looked around with her tearing eyes and whimpering voice. She slowly walked towards the sliding door that gave a blue hue glow to the whole house. Furui opened it and turned her head to the dead body of her beloved mother. Why did this have to happen? What did her mother do? Why did Kisame-senpai have to be so cruel. She knew he didn't like her dad, but why did he have to go so far? Furui knelt down and set a hand on her mothers, now clod face.

"Mom..." Furui said in a cracked voice, she leaned her head on her mothers chest and began to cry, she sobbed as she realized she was never going to see her mothers smile again, she was never going to see her dad greet her when she came home from the academy. Why did this have to happen to her? What was she suppose to do? Who did she have now?

"Who do I have now?" the eight year old thought.

And as she thought for those few short moments, the same face kept coming up in her head, that cruel face. The one she knew she would grow up to hate. Her uncle, Kisame Hoshigaki. How he loathed him, but instead of anger showing on her beautiful face, sadness appeared.

"Why?" she said and curled up in a ball near her dead mother and father. She did nothing but cry for the next few hours. Nothing but that.

Furui opened her deep green eyes as her home was no longer filled with her mother and fathers voices and the light blue glow. It was a deep gray glow, one that dulled everything. She heard a rumbling in the sky and stood up. Her mother and father were still laying on the ground, they were still dead. As if they could wake up. She sniffed and still thought of the man who did this. And in her heart she did not think of anger or revenge, but sadness and grief. She felt like a victim, she felt alone. Her young self thought of noting by that man. Kisame, Kisame, Kisame. She said over and over again in her head. She walked towards her front door and opened it, she stepped down and walked down the pathway that lead to the road. She sniffed and rubbed her eyes as she walked down the muddy road in her bare feet and white kimono. No one stopped to see why she was crying though, no one in the Hidden Mist did that kind of deed.

She stopped at a gate and saw that it was open. It was never open, ever. She set her small hand on it as it began to rain. What in Gods name was she doing. What the hell was she going to say. Maybe she wanted to die, because she would be killed for sure if she went any further. Maybe thats what she wanted. Just to die. She walked closer and closer to the door. She walked up the few steps and was about to knock. But the door knob turned.

Kisame, who was not in he usual long black robe was in the regular shinobi gear. He stared down at her with a stern, mean, face.

"Kisame-senpai." Furui said with red cheeks from crying. "I don't know where to go." she began to ball her eyes out.

Kisame kneeled down and set his firm hand on her head, "you're so stupid." he said as she wrapped her arms around his neck to hug him. "You're suppose to hate me."

Furui sighed. "Sometimes I wonder why I went to his home, I could of gone anywhere, your place, Majime's, but I went to the one place I dreaded the most." Furui said, but she did not sound like she was sad, but sounded as if it was the only choice she had.

Suigetsu glared at Furui, but she did not notice the look on his face. He turned to the scene in front of him and sighed, they've been doing a lot of that lately. He got up and looked down at her, she turned him and only smiled.

"Maybe we should stop talking about the past, you get mad a lot." Furui said in a light tone.

"Furui." Suigetsu said sternly.

Furui smiled and stood up so their eyes were in the same level. But Suigetsu was taller, so that would be impossible unless Furui stood on her toes. He looked down very quickly and turned his face to the side.

"About the swords."

"I already said, I don't want any of them." Furui said in a reassuring voice. "You can do whatever you want."

"But I thought you wanted to at least fight Kisame-senpai."

"I did, I wanted watch him die, but I don't care about him anymore." Furui turned to the small brown home they were renting out, she saw Majime through the window cooking their meals. "I'll take care of Majime, maybe it's better if she never sees her sister, Kigai-senpai."

"About Kigai-senpai." Suigetsu looked at Majime at the home as well.

Furui looked at Suigetsu. "What?" She asked, wondering what he was going to say.

"Back then when I told you about Kisame, when we were at the train station." Furui looked away from him, but Suigetsu was unfazed by her reaction towards her reaction towards the subject. "Now that I think about it, it kinda felt like someone was telling me to tell you the news."

Furui's eyes shot open. "That means..." they both looked at each other then turned to the window where Majime was seen.

"Damn it." They both said at the same time.

"Lets not tell Majime that her sister might be around here." Suigetsu said seriously, "Majime's loosing more and more strength as we speak, knowing the little runt she'll stress over the news and loose more and more strength."

"Should we take her to the doctors, maybe someone knows how to help her?"

"No, I said ROOT's out for her, tsk, I hate ROOT, the only thing I'm glad Kigai got rid of them." Suigetsu inhaled deeply, "we're going to see them soon, just wait, we're going to see them and they're going to try and put is in our place."

"You mean, even—"

"Yeah." Suigetsu cut her off. "Mangetsu-san's planning on seeing us soon, I just don't know when." he bit his thumb. "Damn it, I didn't think they'd arrive so soon, I don't even know if I'm ready to fight them, I know I could take down Kigai, but my brother."

"What about Kisame?" Furui said, "Can you kill him."

Suigetsu put his hand down, "yeah, I can kill him, all I need is a little of your help."

Furui stared at him in the eye. "Understood."

Kisame looked at Madara as he appeared right in front of him. "What?" he asked in a stern voice.

"I was jut checking on you." Madara said, he saw Kisame glance at the piece of paper in his hand.

"I don't have to tell you do I?"

"No." Madara set the paper in his pocket.

"What's with Pain?" Kisame asked folding his arms and looked at his surroundings.

"I'm ready to dispose him—"

A gust of wind blew towards them causing the two to use a little effort to hold their balance. Kisame covered his face with his arms and stared at the leaves and dust billow in the harsh wind all around him. Madara did a quick jutsu and the wind around them eased and the howling even stopped.

"What jutsu was that?" Kisame asked.

"Just a quick trick I taught myself a while back, nothing special."

"Hm, Water's out specialty."

Madara dismissed the comment and looked towards a certain area. It was the direction towards the heard of Konoha. "I think Pain wen't out of line."

"What do you mean?" Kisame walked a few steps forward to be right next to the Mizukage.

"Pain set of a bomb in Konoha."

"What?" Kisame was about to jump away, but Madara set a hand on his shoulder to prevent him from doing so.

"Furui-sama's not there, Suigetsu-san isn't either." Madara reassured him.

Kisame looked at him and jerked his shoulder so Madara could let go, he stared at him, "I knew Akatsuki was a bad idea, I told you that a long time ago when you asked me to join in."

"And I still agree even though I disguised myself as someone else, I told you this was going to be a 10 year plan but no one backed me up as much as you have. Don't worry, we'll have everything by the end of the season."

"We better, and that includes my daughter." Kisame straightened up when he said this.

"Don't worry, I just have to get rid of a few people, just wait for a few hours."

"Hours?" Kisame was so confused at this point he just wanted to see how much damage Pain had done to the village.

"Majime, do you remember her?"

"The little girl who got away with everything, what about her."

"Her times up soon, and Kigai's not going to let her go without a goodbye."

"That means Mangetsu's around, isn't he."

"I'm not to worried about him, he's a fool just as Suigetsu-san is."

"Hm, fine." Kisame said.

Both disappeared in a blink on an eye.

Kigai and Mangetsu were standing on a large tree as they saw a large shock wave approach them. As it passed they both looked at each other while the gust of wind tousled their hair.

"Hm, maybe we should pull out now." Kigai said, she disappeared.

"Maybe we should...." he said and disappeared just as swiftly as Kigai had. Both began to glide from tree to tree at a certain destination.

"What was that?" Furui said standing up from a bush, she had been knocked off her feet since they were both closer the the city of Konoha.

"Are you ok?" Suigetsu asked, he was in another bush and was knocked off his feet just as Furui had.

"Yeah." She brushed herself off, both looked at each other very quickly.

"Majime!" They said at the same time.

Majime slowly raised up from the ground and saw the pot of rise spilled everywhere. "Aw man," she sat up and looked at the door as it slammed open.

"Are you alright?" Furui said quickly helping her up.

"I'm fine." Majime said with a smile and looked at the rice, "but I don't know about dinner."

"Who cares about that." Suigetsu picked the pot up, "we still have egg rolls."

Furui smiled as he said this, as least he's being nice, she thought. "Are you sure you're ok Majime?" Furui asked again, this time everyone was standing up.

"Yeah—oh no..." she slowly stepped to the side as her vision began to weaken, she almost fell but Furui grabbed her before she could hit the ground.

"Majime..." Furui let his sit on the ground, Suigetsu didn't know what to do but watch as a friend began to slowly fade away.

"I'm sorry, it's just I've been loosing my balance a lot, ever since I parted from you two back at the Hidden Mist."

"Why didn't you tell us anything?" Suigetsu knelled down next to the two girls as he said this.

"I didn't want to worry you, I know it sounds corny, but thats the truth, to tell the truth I feel like we're all acting around each other."

"Huh?" Furui raised an eyebrow as Majime's eyes began to fade into a pale red. "Majime?"

"Her Chakra levels fading." Suigetsu said in a worried voice.

"You two don't need me." Majime souded as if she was unaware Suigetsu and Furui were around here, as if she was out of it. "I was ever meant to be with people...maybe I should just go away."

"Majime!" Furui almost shouted as her eyes closed.

The sky began to fade into a very dull blue, and then into a twilight blue. The sun was slowly lowering behind the horizon and give the warning it was going to be night soon. The sky began to fill with the smoke from the bomb Pain set off in the city. The wind was less violent now, there was no howling, there was no rustling trees, all there was, was the light breeze that blew over every few minutes. Majime was sleeping on her bed and Furui was sitting in a chair looking down at her. Suigetsu was leaning in the door sill with folded arms. Both stared at the obviously fading Majime. This had hit them like a tone of bricks, it was only the day before they felt Majime was ok, healthy, they felt as if they were not paying any attention to their so called friend.

Outside, the wind blew, this time a little stronger then it should have. The grass acted like a sea as waves blew throughout the blades. Two figures stood side by side in front of the wooden home. Both figures had swords in the grasp of the hands.

"Ready?" Kigai asked. Mangetsu began to step forward without even responding to her question. Kigai began to walk ahead as well, both ready for anything.

And to their surprise, they both ducked back and appeared by a tree. They stared at Suigetsu stand up straight with Zabuza's Hocho.

Suigetsu turned around to the tree they were next to. "You two have a lot of nerve to go near here." He said with an angry face, he was furious, he was man, he was ready to kill them. Both of them.

Furui appeared right next to Suigetsu. Mangetsu and Kigai couldn't help and smile at her speed, and what they noticed most, her look. Furui was beautiful. But the one thing they noticed above everything else, was her weapon.

"Thats a nice tanto, Furui-sama." Kigai said.

Furui set her hand on it. "I know."

Both Suigetsu and Furui were in the air ready to kill the two in front of them. Both were ready for battle. Mangetsu and Kigai only smiled as they charged towards them.

Kisame and Madara felt a surge of Chakra throughout their bodies. They stood up and looked at each other.

"It's been a few hours." Kisame said.

"Lets head out, Sasuke's out of my hands now, everything's going according to plan."

"Right." Both began to jump from tree to tree towards a certain destination.

I hope you enjoyed, sry if it was a short chapter.

I did it for the Lulz.
