Part II -Chapter One-

Days were normal in the Hidden Mist, people got used to a "new" government, one that was controlled by swordsmen, but not the original seven that Furui grew up with. There was the red head broad they knew as the Mizukage, her name was Mei. Personally, Furui didn't like her, and for very good reasons too. Furui went on her side as the light from the window made eyes hurt. She looked at the ground and saw her pretty fluffy white cat she found almost days after she came to the Hidden Mist. His name was Fufu, Suigetsu had a liking for him, but he was her cat, no one else. The door knocked and Furui didn't move and flinch, she didn't even respond that someone wanted to speak to her. The door knocked again, and then again, and again. And then the door slammed open making Furui jump and Fufu run behind her on the bed.

"Whats your problem!?" Suigetsu screamed at her.

"Suigetsu-kun, don't be so harsh." Chojuro, said worried that Furui was taken aback. "Are you alright Furui?" he asked.

Furui was an inch away from Suigetsu's face, "whats your problem!? I was having my beauty sleep, and theres no training today and no missions so whats the point of waking me up in the morning?" Furui shouted angry at him.

"Who cares if theres no training on schedule or no missions assigned, do you want to become a weak nothing and be dropped to a Genin again? We should be training 24 hours a day seven days a weak!" Suigetsu shouted back.

"But what about sleep?" Chojuro said but was quickly ignored.

"I don't care, I already know I can kill half the shinobi I come across so I'm fine, today's a day off for me, hm." She said folding her arms and looking away with shut eyes.

"Why—you—" Suigetsu got even more angry and this time grabbed her hand and began to pull her out the room.

"No, no, no!" Furui screamed as she was being dragged across the floor. "I'm not even ready, I'm still in my white Kimono, I'm hungry, we didn't even have tea, no! I have to feed Fufu!" Furui was saying and screaming. She got up and tried to pull her self away.

"No! We're training today." Suigetsu pulled back and with both their strength fighting against each other, and both fell on the ground next to each other outside where they would normally train.

"Nice going Suigetsu." Furui said sitting up. "You ruined a perfectly good Kimono." She said dusting her chest off, both were still on the ground.

"I see your taking good care of the kids, Chojuro." A tall, long haired woman said looking down at Furui and Suigetsu.

"Uh." Furui and Suigetsu said and quickly stood up and did deep bows. "Good morning Mizukage-sama."

"Sorry Mizukage," Chojuro said and adjusted his glasses, "they didn't mean to disturb your meeting."

"It was over just as the 'no,no,no' screaming was heard." Mei said, the only other Mizukage both Suigetsu and Furui had ever known.

The other was Madara, they had favored him over her, which gave them a bad reputation around the Hidden Mist. Because not only were they both in favor of the old government, they were also tied to Kisame. But thanks to the new laws, Furui would not be put to death just for being related to him, ironically, if the previous government were still in power: Furui and Suigetsu would be put to death. The only reason they liked the old government was because there was an easier chance to become a Swordsmen, not like now where anyone who had alright skills could become one. Furui's example of this was Chojuro. Personally Furui never liked him, Suigetsu hated him, and Chojuro knew this and had his bad thoughts for them as well. In fact Chojuro still thinks they are capable of betraying the Hidden Mist. And he's right.

The sky that was filled with gray clouds were lightly touched by the orange hues the sun gave off. A light breeze blew throughout the trees as Furui and Suigetsu were sitting at a cliffs edge. Furui had a pare of binoculars with her to see the water clones of herself and Suigetsu three miles into the forest. She could see both were acting as if they were training and they both had the occasional arguments. She then moved her sight to a pair of ANBU officers, oh how Furui hated them, yet wanted to be one as well, they were the same ones who would chase Kisame and the other swordsman who escaped from the country. Their masks, their outfits, everything about them she hated. And on top of that they were always watching Furui and Suigetsu, or at least they thought they were.

Suigetsu walked up to Furui who was still looking at the clones of themselves and set a paper bag on her head.

"Uh!" Furui looked up at him and grabbed the bag, she opened it and smiled as she saw three rice balls there for her. She had a flash back of her and Suigetsu doing the same thing, but Majime was with her. Her smile disappeared. Suigetsu sat next to her and looked at the clones that were way off in the distance. He looked at Furui and sighed.

"Majime was alright," Suigetsu leaned back and looked up at the sky that was fading into the blackness of light. "You should forget about her."

"I'm trying." Furui looked down at her black Kimono. "But it's tough to forget her, she would cook and clean and do everything for us, she was like a mother."

"I think you're exaggerating Furui, she was nice to have around, other then that she was just an other girl." He grabbed a rice ball and began to eat it. "Just get over it, besides we're suppose to act like we're happy here in the Hidden Mist, so stop being a baby."

"Acting is something you both do quite well."

Suigetsu's eyes shot open and Furui shot around to see who was behind them. Chojuro was kneeling down and looking down at Suigetsu. Suigetsu then appeared behind Furui and pulled her up. Chojuro then stood up as well.

Furui smiled. "Hey, hey, Chojuro-kun, how are you? It's a nice day isn't it?" Furui had an uneasy smile on and nervously laughed. "We were just enjoying the view—"

"Don't worry Furui-chan, Suigetsu-san, I'm not telling anyone you're using clones to full out ANBU officers that were assigned to watch you. I'm here only for my reasons."

"And what reasons are those?" Suigetsu said and folded his arms.

Chojuro adjusted his glasses. "It's about Sasuke and the two others you used to run around with." Chojuro said. "Before you partnered with Furui-chan." Furui's eyes relaxed as she began to think.

Chojuro, holder of the Hiramekarei, is a member of the Seven Swordsmen, but is very new. It has only been two years since he has held the title. Furui remembered being a five year old girl running around with Suigetsu seeing Chojuro. He's the same age as them and had been training on back up terms to become a swordsmen. So if Furui or Suigetsu had ever died, his place would take theirs, lucky for him, Furui and Suigetsu were abandoned instead. Chojuro would sometimes eat near them, but he was aloof and would eat by himself all the time, Furui could never really judge him, she never really knew him. Suigetsu never thought anything of him either and would call him the "second string" when it came to training. When Furui would get too tired Chojuro would take her place at times, but other then that, Furui and Suigetsu knew nothing of him personally, they didn't know who his father was, if he had any siblings, but they did know of the Hiramekarei. The term "second string" was derived from the sword, for the sword was an abandoned piece of work of Zabuza Momochi. Zabuza had even told Furui at one point that the sword would need major improvement. But just like Suigetsu, Chojuro got very tiered by the sword. The two shinobi still have not lived up to Zabuza or Kisame, who never got tiered from carrying their sword. Furui wondered if maybe the original seven were something that would never come again. Or perhaps they weren't candidates for them, including herself.

"What about them?" Suigetsu said, "I don't have anything to do with them, they were just playmates of mine."

"Rather threatening ones." Chojuro said.

"Did they do something?" Furui asked taking a step forward.

"Yes," Chojuro said and looked at Suigetsu. "Someone seems to be aware of things." Suigetsu glared at him. "Sasuke, Jugo, and Karin had left Konoha once again."

Suigetsu laughed out loud. "Really? And I thought he had already got everything he wanted."

"Why did he leave?" Furui asked. "Are there any leads to why he left?"

"No, nothing really, but we had already agreed that once he is found he's going to be executed on sight." Suigetsu smiled, the same grin he did when Furui and him would kill their opponents. This smile haunted Chojuro for some reason. "We have reason to believe you two might have an idea of why he might have left."

"Why us?" Furui asked raising an eyebrow.

"Suigetsu, weren't you a part of Hibi?" Chojuro asked.

"And what if I was?" Suigetsu snapped.

"It seems they have been a part of Akatsuki this who time." Chojuro pulled his glasses off and wiped them with a small piece of cloth, during the silence the waves down below could be heard. "Kisame-sama had been a part of Akatsuki, and now that everyone knows about his little child, the Elders have a small feeling that Furui may still have contacts with him."

"Why would I have any contact with a man who abandoned me as a child?" Furui flipped his hair. "Kisame is nothing to me." She turned her head closing her eye.

"There's the old saying that an apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Chojuro put his glasses back on.

"And an other that says, I am not my Father." Furui said sternly. "I had suffered my whole life because the actions of that man, of almost everyone from the Seven Swordsmen, do you really think I'd have any reason of any contact with a man with the likes of that?" Chojuro was silent. "And not only that, Suigetsu and I had killed Awamori, Kigai, and Takashi, if we ever even ran into Kisame we'd kill him and you know it!" Furui said with pink cheeks, Chojuro only stared at her with his plane timid eyes. "Chojuro, I think it's an insulting thing that you'd think that we'd help Akatsuki in anyway possible."

Chojuro began to walk away. "Just making sure, oh, and theres going to be a summit...Konoha has been attacked by Akatsuki."

"Uh?!" Furui and Suigetsu said shocked. But Chojuro was gone. Suigetsu smiled. "I wonder whose behind that?" He said sarcastically, knowing for a fact it was Pain.

"Furui-chan, Suigetsu-kun." Both looked ahead of themselves as a proxy of Kisame appeared in front of them.

"Papa!" Furui said with a smile with clasped hands. Suigetsu rolled his eyes as saw how badly Furui was just speaking about Kisame and how she was acting now.

"I need to speak to you both." Kisame said and began to fade away. Furui smiled and turned to Suigetsu.

"Lets go." Furui began to jump away. Suigetsu only sighed and walked a bit then followed her.

As they were jumping trough the trees Suigetsu looked at Furui, her smile annoyed him a bit, in fact he found it unbearable to look at. Ever since they had came back to the Hidden Mist she had acted as if nothing was wrong. She had trained so many kids techniques that were only known to the Swordsmen, which were part of the original ANBU officers. She had practically sucked up to everyone here, and in return she had been given the title of a Chunin. Furui still didn't wear the Head Piece, but she had it at her bed side. She had grasped the title of a Kunichi. Suigetsu didn't know why this annoyed him so much. He should be happy for her, they had it made here, Furui and him were wonderful additions to the Hidden Mist, they had all the swords except Mangetsu's and Kisame's. No question they were going to get them one day. But her face, something really annoyed him lately. Whether is was her being a socialite or her constant good mood, he couldn't quite put his finger on it. And there was her constant switching on who side she was on. When she was with the ANBU captains, her friends, the Elders, even the Mizukage, she acted as if her whole was dedicated into making this nation one of the best. But when she was with him, Kisame, Madara, or any member of Akatsuki, she acted as if she were always a servant to them, taking on missions that would make her top of the Bingo list for Sand, Leaf, and even Rain village. Suigetsu wondered if she had her own goals, if she had her own missions. When he thought about it, he didn't really know anything about her personal opinion on anything. Everything just was for her.

"Furui." Suigetsu said. Furui looked at him as he looked ahead of himself and stopped. Furui raised and eyebrow and was at a tree ahead of him.

"What?" She asked.

"What are you plans exactly?" He looked at her with his purple eyes.

"What are you talking about?" She laughed and was about to turn around.

"Did I say a joke?!" Suigetsu snapped at her, Furui was shocked with wide eyes. Suigetsu's face was on fire, he was glaring at her. "I asked you a simple question, what the Hell are you doing?" Furui didn't know what to say.

'Whats wrong...?' Furui thought. "I'm going to see Dad—"

"No shit! I'm asking what the Hell are doing, why are we back here? Why are you back here?" Suigetsu said and extended both his arms and turned around. "What are you doing Furui?" He then asked calmly. Furui tried to smile. "Enough with the smiling!" Suigetsu yelled. Furui flinched.

"Suigetsu, I'm here with you. Madara-sama and Papa told us to make sure nothing happens to the Hidden Mist when Pain attacks Konoha..." Furui said, her lips were partly apart from each other, she was looking at Suigetsu and didn't know what else to say.

Suigetsu looked at her straight in the eyes with a still face. "What do you plan on doing?" He asked her.

Furui stood up tall. "If you really want to know...I have been speaking to many captains from ANBU...I think it would be a better career for me." Furui looked to ground. "Don't you think it would be a better path of life for me rather then a dancer? I'm a Kunichi now, a real one." Furui said and began to fiddle her thumbs. "I thought you'd be happy." She blushed.

"You're pathetic." Suigetsu jumped on the tree she was and then on the one behind her. Furui's eyes were wide and glazed over with tears. "You think everything can be perfect...this isn't one of your plays. This is real life...there are no happy endings." He was about to jump away as Furui's face turned to a glare.

"Have...have you forgotten?" She said still looking down. Suigetsu stopped to look at her. She shot around and was a foot away from him. "Have you forgotten that the Hidden Mist is where I was born? Where I grew up? Where I was raised?!" Suigetsu only stared at her. "This is my home, I wasn't a drifter like you who ran away, was taken in by Orochimaru, partnered up with some kid who can't get over that fact that his brother killed off everyone," Furui then yelled. "It's not my fault I'm not like you!" Suigetsu's eyes were then wide. "You just want stupid swords", she pulled off the Kiritaka off her back and shoved the sword that was once Awamori Ren's sword. "These things are nothing to me! I'm trying to be someone better then just a Rouge Shinobi, I'm trying to be something good! Not like you who just wants objects that can easily break!" She looked back at the ground, saddened that Suigetsu wasn't happy that she wanted to be part of ANBU. Suigetsu's handed her the black sword she was training with this whole time.

"I'm sorry...I'm...sorry." He said and began to jump away. Furui put the sword on her back once again and followed. Both were silent the whole time.

The ANBU members went back to their base as they watched the fake Suigetsu and Furui go into their rooms. None of them knew it wasn't really them. But as they walked into the office where they gave their updates to a few of the captains there. There was four ANBU Hunters who would remind Furui and Suigetsu of Haku. They all looked the same with their buns and long hair, their masks were the same as well. The three that were watching Suigetsu and Furui looked at the captains and knelt down.

"Furui Nanakusa is a bright as ever Captain, she is training and is scheduled later this week to train more students at the academies. The Captains looked at each other then one spoke.

"She would be a good addition."

Another added. "But so close to Kisame and Suigetsu so close to Zabuza? Sensei's are far more influential then parents, both Kisame and Zabuza were both of their teachers, are you sure we should gamble and let her be a part of this?"

"She would be a wonderful Swordsmen." Another said.

The fourth one said, "To think she was a dancer...Junsei." One of the Captains said. One of the hunters looked up at him. "Take off your mask."

As the ANBU hunter did so a pale white face was shown, he stood up. "Yes sir." He said in a gentle yet deep male voice. He was the youngest Hunter ANBU had, he was 18, and never failed a mission.

All four captains looked at him. "Watch Furui, later this week when she begins to train the students, you will be her partner."

"Yes sir." Junsei said, his face was still and calm, it was smooth and relaxed just as every ANBU Hunter were. "Anything else?"

"Cut your hair, we don't want Furui to know who you are, and keep the name Junei, since it's not your real name."

"Yes sir." Junsei stood up and began to walk out of the room, as he was at the door he did a bow and disappeared.

"Hyoton is such a valuable power, I hope that Furui and Suigetsu are not caught in any treasonous dispute, for Junsei will not hesitate to use it against them." The fourth Captain said.

Junsei was in his room and looked at a class picture, Chojuro was at the far left looking down and with the same insecure timid face. He saw himself standing in the background since he was four years older then all the class. In this picture he was already a Jounin. And at the very middle was Furui, Suigetsu, and even the dead Majime. It was amazing what can happen in 10 years. He put the picture in his desk. He looked out the window then into a mirror on his desk, he sighed as he pulled out a pair of scissors to begin cutting his hair.

Furui and Suigetsu were in a room, Furui smiled as she saw Kisame. "Hello Papa." He smiled back.

"Ah, your here." Madara said. "How are you two doing?"

"Good." Suigetsu said.

"It seems Sasuke and his two followers were unable to capture the eight tales." Madara said.

"Oh." Furui looked worried, then laughed. "Really..." She was not shocked at all really.

"Tsk—Sasuke always thinks he can do anything." Suigetsu's said.

"So I'm going to get him." Kisame said, "even though I have gotten the four tailed one already, I guess this will be double the challenge." Furui looked at him.

"All by yourself?" She asked him. "What about backup?"

"I don't need it Furui." Kisame set a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry." Furui tried to smile.

"So what are we here for?" Suigetsu folded his arms behind his back.

"Sasuke is about to fight Danzo, and I need to be there, I want you both to leave in four days, that is when I will tell you what your needed for. And don't worry, it will only be a short just like the other missions, and Furui can keep training her students." Furui smiled. "You two can leave now."

As they both walked outside Suigetsu folded his arms. "They could have told us that over proxy, tsk, they wasted our time."

Furui only jumped away and ignored Suigetsu, as he tried to catch up to her she would pick up speed to be ahead of him. And it had got to a point they were going so fast that their clones back home began to fall apart. Mangetsu appeared in front of them and both stopped.

"My, my, you two just might be faster then me one day if you keep that up." He said smiling.

"Hm." Furui folded her arms and walked away. "Papa said he was going to be at my room later and I don't want to be late."

Suigetsu sighed. "...women..." Furui jumped away

Mangetsu's eyes followed Furui until she was out of sight. "It seems you two got in an argument."

"What makes you think that?" Suigetsu looked away. "She been acting different."

"She finally has a parent and the Hidden Mist is glorifying her, don't try and take that away from her."

Suigetsu was silent and looked down. "It's just she was always around me before we came here, and now—"

"Furui was by herself before she was with you, she can easily take care of herself." Mangetsu looked at the direction Furui jumped away to. "It's women like that who changed the Hidden Mist, thats why Mizukage and Furui don't get along, women who think alike don't get along, it's a shame really, if they worked together they would probably run the world."

"Good thing they don't." Suigetsu said.

Mangetsu smiled. "How are you, Suigetsu."

"I'm alright, ANBU won't go away."

"And they won't for a while, but don't worry, they'll leave, with Konoha being quite a problem they'll soon forget about you and ask for your help rather then bother you."

"I hope."

"They will, well Suigetsu, I'll speak to you later, I have work of my own to keep up with." He began to walk away, he stopped then slightly turned his head. "Oh, and keep an eye on Furui." Suigetsu just looked at Mangetsu. "Independent girls like Furui can easily replace the people around themselves."

Suigetsu was silent as Mangetsu jumped away. He thought about Furui becoming friends with Katana and the other dancers, then her easily leaving them for him, then her quickly letting Kisame back in her life. Suigetsu then glared at the ground.

"Am I really that replaceable?" He said to himself.

Furui was at a tree and looked behind her, she looked down at her side pack and pulled out a picture book. She looked at the photo of her and Suigetsu eating at a local restaurant. She closed it and looked back one last time to see if Suigetsu was trying to catch up to her. She looked ahead of herself and began to jump back to the village.

Well this is Part II for the story, don't worry there will be more. n.n

Hope you thought it was ok.
