Just some things you must know:
Ki means "spirit" or "chronicle"
Raikou means "lighting"
Okay when you reach a line in the middle of the story play a naruto shippuden soundtrack entitled Nightfall by Takanashi Yasuharu. Still optional if you want to listen though
The bird landed infront of a small hut. The girl jumped of as the bird disappears.
"Grandmother Ki, grandmother Ki I'm home", she said as she opens the door.
Behind the door was a scary old woman with angry eye and irritated expression
"Where have you been and what do you think you were doing? KASUMI HOUSEKI!!!!!!" the woman shouted. " I've been worried sick, Raikou keeps barking to me about it and it's needs and I don't care about any of those".
"What I'm so sorry Gran I was in the village and-" But before she could continue Gran Ki shouted once more.
"What! NO! Didn't I tell you never to go to the village. You what they're like"
"Im sorry Gran but I just wanted to see the music festival that was occurring. You know how much I love music don't you?" She answered
"Yes of course I do", she yawned," so what happened next?, the old woman asked
"Well I was enjoying the festival when I got hungry so I went down for a takeout and then when i leaned to eat my cap went down and the patrolling ninjas saw me. That started the chase but hey they started it!" Kasumi explained
"I see" the old woman started to smile which was wonderful to look at.
"But I need to ask you Grandmother Ki, why does those people hate us" she questioned
The woman's smile started to fade "Well um you see It's hard to explain dear one"
"I see, so then, Raikou, come here boy" the still questioning Kasumi called.
A small and cute silver colored fox-looking thing appeared from one of the rooms. And jumped to Kasumi.
"So how are you boy, I hope you didn't cause too much trouble for gran" Kasumi asked
The dog licked her cheek as a reply. She and Raikou then headed to her room and went to bed.
"I still wonder why?", Kasumi whispered to herself while petting the sleeping Raikou.
Meanwhile
Back from the village
"Master, she escaped again!"
"What!? Darn it this cannot happen I can't take it. That girl is a danger to any of us, now that almost everytime she comes, we see some essence of her power. I shall put a stop to this once and for all, gather everyone track her down and when you find her KILL her!", the horrible tyrant of the village announced.
THE NEXT DAY.........................
"Ahhhh wow that was some sleep wasn't it Raikou", Kasumi said waking up from a nice sleep.
Raikou barked with a smile in return.
After taking a bath and eating delicious ramen made by her Gran. She slipped into her robes.
"Bye Gran, Me and Raikou are going to train for today" Kasumi said
"Ahh, yes okay and Kasumi be strong and be very careful, okay?" Her Gran answered
A moment of silence filled the air for a while until Kasumi was able to talk again
"SHH-sure Gran okay we're going now" Kasumi turned around feeling a bit light headed and confused then left.
Hours passed until it was already evening as the moon and stars start to appear
Kasumi trying to catch her breath from kunai practice "Wow! That was great practice Raikou now how about enjoying the moonlight for a while I'm exhausted" Kasumi told Raikou.
Minutes passed by then Kasumi heard Raikou's stomach rumble and so did hers.
"Wow, I'm hungry how about we go home now, Gran might be worried again and I could really have some of her best ramen now, hmmm, wait a minutes let's first buy a souvenir for Gran" She stood up and went to the village hiding Raikou in her bagpack.
When they reached the village, It was okay there were no ninjas chasing her in fact they were not at sight at all for a change. She then turned to her left because she got attracted to some attractive jewelries. Among all those were two of the most beautiful things she has ever seen a wonderful silver necklace made of crystals and another was a bracelet.
"Wow, these jewels are exquisite whatever that means, I'll take it then I can give the bracelet to Gran and for me the necklace." She smiled wore the necklace and couldn't wait to get home.
While she was walking she saw the moonlight it was beautiful more beautiful than the jewelry she bought. When she was almost there she felt Raikou started to shiver in her bagpack and tried to comfort it. When she could finally see the hut she immediately noticed that it was with kunais and shurikens she ran closer and started to get worried
"Grandmother Ki!!! Are you the—-." She wasn't able to finish when she saw her Gran lying on the ground infront of the hut along with several dead ninjas all around. It was obvious that her Gran fought all those ninjas.
Her Gran looked to her side and found Kasumi staring at her with tears falling from her eyes. She smiled and told her
"My dear Kasumi you're already here" she said while struggling to move
"No wait Gran let me help you" Kasumi said and went near her Gran. It was horrible her poor Gran was wounded and blood started to flow from each one. "Granmother Ki, what happened" Kasumi asked.
"That doesn't matter, my dear. Now where have you been? Her Gran asked
"I've been training and i've got you this bracelet I um_____,"she burst into tears, "I'm so sorry grandma. I wasn't here to help you" She kept saying while still crying.
" There, There now It's okay I I I love this bracelet its beautiful now promise me you'll take care of yourself and don't cause anymore trouble okay" Granmother Ki wore the bracelet with delight but with sad eyes. She wiped some of the tears off her little girl and touched her necklace. As her blood dripped on the silver necklace it turned red. She apologized to Kasumi and hugged her for the last time. All Kasumi could do was to stare and listen to her Grandmother. Her grandmother then fell back on the ground and said
"Goodbye my dear Mist Jewel I will always love you and always be with you" an as the wind blew her Grandmother started to fade slowly turning into a thounsand sunflower petals.
"GRANMOTHER KI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kasumi shouted to skies while crying hard in guilt and despair and then fainted hoping that it was all a dream.
Ok everyone let's take a break for a while and discuss:
The leader of the troop that attacked grandmother Ki didn't die here YET
Poor Kasumi. What do you think will happen next?
