I totally forgot to add! Minako's full name is Minako Yuko Yagari, because her grandmother (father's mother) was named Yuko. For those who don't know. 'Obasan' means auntie and 'Ojisan' means uncle.

Crimson Passion

Chapter 2: Truth and mission

Minako just got out from training with Tsunade which ended at 7:00am. Every morning, for 2 hours she would train with Tsunade and from 2:00am to 3:00am she would train again. This would have been hard for her, but she began to get used to it.

The dark haired ANBU got home and opened the door. She entered the large flat and closed the door behind her. She walked into the kitchen and saw her nephew. He was a splitting image of Itachi, but when in the sun, his hair would be brown just like his mothers.

"Obasan!" He exclaimed as he ran up to his auntie and jumped onto her. She caught him and lifted the 4 year-old effortlessly.

"Good morning, Haru." She said with a small smile and spun him around.

"Good morning, obasan." He replied and she placed him down.

"Have you had breakfast yet?" Minako asked and she shook her head. She hesitated at this but sighed. "Alright, I'll make you some." They walked into the kitchen and got out a few ingredients.

"Good morning oneesan." She heard Miyako said as her younger twin entered the kitchen.

"Good morning imouto."

"Please don't tell me you're gonna be making breakfast." She mumbled and Minako crossed her arms at this with a raised eyebrow.

"And what's wrong with my cooking?" Miyako scratched the back of her head with a nervous giggle.

"It's a bit….uh…how do I put this?"

"At least it's edible." Minako muttered.

"I'm back!" A cheery voice and Haru's eyes sparkled.

"Mama!" He shouted and his mother entered the room. She had long wavy hair and light blue eyes.

"Misa, you're home." Minako smiled widely at her cousin.

"Finally!" Miyako sighed.

"Thank god you're home Misaki Yamamoto, or else Yagari would have killed us with food." The elder twin's eyebrow twitched as she heard Sasuke's voice.

"Aw, I highly doubt that Sasuke Uchiha, my little cousin's cooking can't be that bad." Misaki rustled her cousin's hair and Minako pouted with a deathly glare.

"I'm not your little cousin." Minako said through her teeth as she took the apron off.

"Hey everyone!" Naruto came in out of the blue. Misaki's head tilted to the side and when Kakashi, Hinata, Ino, Shikamaru, Tenten, Neji, Shikamaru and Temari entered, Minako's head tilted to the side too.

"What….?" Miyako slurred.

"Why is everyone here?" Minako asked.

"Oh yeah! I invited everyone for breakfast." Misaki gleamed.

"What is it with you and picking up stray hungry puppies?" Sasuke asked.

"Hey we're not stray hungry puppies!" Naruto shouted.

"We're your friends!" Ino whined and the Uchiha rolled his dark eyes at this.

They all ate breakfast and thanked Misaki for breakfast. After breakfast, Haru went to go and play with his dinosaur toys in his room. She opened a bag and looked at her cousins.

"Minako, Miyako." The two sisters and everyone else looked up. Misaki smiled at her cousins with a warm yet sad smile.

"I went to our home." The younger twin's curious face lightened as her blue eyes sparkled and she grinned. But Minako looked down with a small frown and sighed.

"Really, you went there?" Miyako smiled.

"Yeah I had to go and see the Hunter Association." Minako's eyebrows furrowed together and she gulped.

"What did they say?" Kakashi asked.

"Well, they said that they'll be Minako and Miyako's missions soon. Especially Minako." Miyako smirked menacingly at this.

"Great! We can kill those vampires and turn them into dust!" The young twin punched the air.

"Uh, Miyako, Minako is a vampire too." Temari said.

"Oh, heh, sorry!" Miyako placed her finger on her lips.

"Don't apologise, you don't have to imouto." Her older sister mumbled with a cool emotionless expression on her face.

"Minako, I met up with the Vampire Hunter Association President! She said she'll be delighted to send you on mission. Isn't that great?!" Instantly Minako punched the table in front of her with steam coming out of her head. The poor table split into two and Misaki, Miyako, Naruto, Kakashi, Tenten, Hinata, Ino and Temari sweat dropped at this.

"Heh, there goes another table." Miyako said nervously.

"How can she even say that? I bet she's just saying that to lure me into a trap and then she'll eliminate me." Minako growled.

"She can't do that. You were born a hunter just like me and Misaki!" Miyako said and smiled at her sister with a thumbs up.

"Anyways, I got you something I found at the Association's headquarters, Miyako." Misaki stuffed her hand into her bag and took out a golden music box with rubies scattered on it and a keyhole.

"Miyako, I think this is yours." Misaki gave it to the said girl who took it. The young Yagari looked down at the music box and her eyes widened. They filled with tears and her cheeks went pink.

"Wow that's nice." Tenten said.

"But you need a key to open it." Shikamaru pointed out. Miyako pulled her necklace off and it had a small key on it. The girl never took her eyes off the music box and Minako found her weird behaviour odd. Miyako twisted the key numerous times.

The music box finally opened and there was a lovely couple dancing round and round. There was a lovely little tune which was mysterious yet beautiful. Miyako just tilted her head to the side whilst staring at the couple. She sighed dreamily but tears fell down her cheeks. Then and only then did Minako realised that was the music box she got 10 years ago. Whenever she would asked who gave it, Miyako would blush and change the subject.

"Imouto, who gave you that music box?" Minako asked, starting that conversation from a decade ago.

"My best friend, oneesan." Miyako fluttered her eyelashes.

"Who's your best friend, imouto?" Minako questioned innocently.

"Ichiru-kun." The younger twin answered dreamily.

"I knew it!" Misaki shouted out.

"You like him!" Minako smirked and Miyako realised what she said.

"But…"

"Ooooh, Miyako's in love." Ino sang.

"Miyako has a crush!" Tenten giggled.

"Miyako and Ichiru sitting in the tree…." Temari laughed and Miyako pouted as she clenched her fists.

"I don't like him like that! He's my best friend! It's nothing like that!" The younger Yagari shouted with a red face. They were all pretty shocked of Miyako's sudden outburst, but Minako smirked as she crossed her arms.

"You don't like him, you love him." She muttered.

"Oneesan!" Miyako whined and then there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in, the door's open!" Misaki called out and Ebisu came in.

"Tsunade-sama wants all of you to come to her office now, especially Miyako-chan and Minako-chan. It's urgent!" He stated and Minako's face was serious.

"We're on our way! Believe it!" Naruto shouted and Minako and Sasuke rolled their eyes at this.

They all went to Tsunade's office and stood in front of her (Asuma was there too). Misaki and Sasuke held Haru's hands. Minako stood next to Sasuke and her breathing was came out uneven; she was extremely nervous. The Uchiha sensed this and held her hand. She blinked and glared at him. He intertwined his fingers with hers and she felt like biting his head off.

"You don't have to be nervous." He whispered and she averted her eyes to the ground.

Tsunade sat at her desk with a very serious expression on her face.

"I've been going through this office and the whole of the village to find a special chest which consisted of some information." She stated.

"What is the information about?" Naruto asked.

"It's about the Third Hokage's family, apparently he had a daughter." Their eyes widened at this.

"But unfortunately, this chest has a lock on it." Tsunade stated and looked at Minako.

"Um, Tsunade-sama, I got a key which the Third Hokage gave to me." She sighed and composed herself from letting the tears fall down her cheeks.

"He said that it's the key to the truth." She took her necklace off which had a large golden key attached to it. The dark haired teen took a step forward and let go of Sasuke's hand. The Uchiha frowned at this, missing the warmth of her hand. Minako placed the key on the desk and stepped back.

Tsunade took the key and inserted it into the lock. She twisted the key and the lock opened. She opened the red and golden chest and took out a scroll. Miyako held her sister's hand and Minako squeezed her younger twin's hand with reassurance. The Hokage opened the scroll and her eyebrows furrowed together.

"In this scroll holds the truth about my daughter, Hiruzen Sarutobi's daughter. She fell in love and got married to a vampire hunter." Minako, Miyako and Misaki's eyes widened at this.

"What?" They asked in unison.

"My daughter was called Mitsuko Sarutobi and I have two granddaughters. Sasuke Sarutobi's great granddaughters and my granddaughters are…Miyako Yagari…and…Minako Yuko Yagari."

Everyone was shocked but not as shocked as Miyako and Minako. Miyako had a blank expression but Minako's eyes widened. Tears brimmed her eyes.

"That's why…" The elder twin croaked and closed her eyes. Memories of that snowy, horrible night flashed through her mind.

"All that time, Minako and Miyako were his granddaughters but he never said anything." Kakashi said.

Minako placed her hand onto her heart and gulped. Tsunade noticed this and her gaze softened.

"Minako, control yourself." The said girl clenched her fist until it trembled.

"How can I control myself?!" She hissed and their eyes widened.

"How can I control myself after finding out that the man who took me in, the man who took care of me, the man who protected me was my grandfather? The man, who was killed right in front of my eyes, was my grandfather!" The tears kept on falling down her cheeks. Miyako wrapped her arms around her sister comforting her and she calmed down.

"I'm sorry Minako, but your grandfather didn't want you to know. It seems that both you and your sister are the oldest of the Third Hokage's grandchildren. That means that soon in the future, Minako will become Hokage." Her eyes widened and this time with rage. It was quiet and Minako growled.

"I will never become Hokage. If anything, I would want Naruto to become Hokage. My mother may have been the Hokage's daughter, but I was born a hunter too. My dream is to be the best vampire hunter, not a Hokage!" She said with determination.

"I'm sorry, but this is how it's going to be from now on. This is one thing, that even if you order me to, I won't ever become. You're just gonna have to find someone else." Minako said as she placed her hand onto her hip.

"Me too, I don't want to be a Hokage. But I want Naruto-sama to become Hokage!" Miyako added and Naruto stared at the twins with a shocked look, but he smiled; such friends he had.

Tsunade's serious and irritated look disappeared. She smirked at this and nodded.

"I had a feeling that both of you would say this. So I have a mission for you. You will be teamed up with Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. Kakashi and I will be there too. It's to protect Cross Academy and study there. It's run by a man who was friends with the Third Hokage; Kaien Cross." Minako blinked at this and looked at Tsunade.

"He was the man who visited me after the Hokage, I mean grandfather died. He and that girl Yuki, his adoptive daughter." She muttered but then raised an eyebrow.

"Wait, he has an adopted son, as well. Who is he?" She asked and Tsunade's smirk grew wider.

"You know, don't you? Tell me now! Who is it?" Minako glared at her.

"Misaki-san, would you care to tell your cousin?" The older twin looked at her cousin who smirked.

"With pleasure. Mina-chan." Minako's blue eyes fluttered and her cheeks were a bright pink. Only one person called her that and one person alone.

"Zero-kun." She squeaked with a tear falling down her cheek.
