Saitou Chi walked towards the Hyuuga Compound with Hinata slung over her shoulder like a rag doll. She told her to stop stuttering, but she didn't so she had it coming.

When she walked into onto the compound grounds someone flung towards her ready to attack.

"Get away from her." A Hyuuga male said, getting into a fighting stance.

"Don't worry, if I was going to do something nasty, I wouldn't be returning her home." Chi raised an eyebrow at the male.

"Then why is she unconscious?"

"Because I punched her."

"You said you weren't here to hurt her." The Hyuuga male glared at her.

"And I'm not. I politely asked her to stop stuttering or else Id punch her. She didn't, so I knocked her out. I have to say though, this has been by far the easiest 'escort' I've ever ditched." Chi dropped Hinata onto the grounds. "Here, take her. I was only returning her, since it's only the right thing to do. She wouldn't be safe lying unconscious on the streets." Chi smirked at the Hyuuga male before waving. "See you later pretty-boy."

(oh my god, I have no idea how the hell I'm going to make space in this chapter, so this will have to do for now.)

She walked for a while, not really having a destination in mind. The nostalgia was a little bit enjoyable. She avoided her old house though, that brought up nothing but lonely bitter thoughts.

"This place hasn't changed at all." She muttered to herself, shoving her hands in her pockets. She continued to walk towards the training grounds, just to see something for herself.

She reached the KIA stone, and looked for her own name. She just wanted to see it for herself.

"You're not on there." A voice sounded behind her.

She turned around and faced her old Sensei. "Of course not, I was never good enough to be on that stone anyways."

"No, we had it removed, since you obviously aren't dead." He argued.

"Don't know why you even bothered to put it on there. I didn't do anything heroic. I was the only one who failed and let the ninja go away." She frowned and looked at the stone again. "Ninja's who fail to protect their comrades shouldn't be honored with real heroes."

"But you tried. That's the only thing that counts."

"For you, probably. I had been useless the first twelve years of my life, and the one time I try to do something heroic I get my limbs handed to me in shambles."

"Takes a strong person to want to make a change."

"No, it takes a moment of stupidity and then years of being scared that it might happen again." She smiled at Kakashi. "I recommend you duck." Kakashi did as she said, barely missing a kunai aimed for his neck. "Tsunade made a very bad choice when forcing me to stay here. You see, I have a lot of people who pretty much want me dead, who I try to avoid by traveling. Since I'm stuck here I've been waiting for them to start showing up so I can eliminate them."

"You there!" A normal looking man said.

"Me?" Chi asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, obviously you!" He angrily called.

"What do you want?"

"I want you dead you fucking bitch!"

"Who the hell are you?"

"Your worst nightmare."

"Seriously? Are you an idiot?" Chi frowned at the man. He clearly wasn't right in the head. What kind of ninja attacks head on? ... Forget that, she just remembered her blonde team mate.

"No, but you are for screwing with me!"

The man ran towards her, holding up a kunai ready to strike. She braced herself, lifting up her right arm.

"Chi, what are you-!" Kakashi started, but shut up quickly after seeing Chi grab the kunai with her hand.

"You should never attack a person head on. Especially when you don't know what they are hiding up their sleeves." She whispered in the attacker's ear. The attacker was quick at jumping away, avoiding her punch.

"I know what you have up your sleeves. You think I'd come here without doing my research. I might not be as good at research gathering as you and your old fart sensei. But I still am able to gather some information. I know all about your 'up-grades', people who you leave alive after fighting tend to remember people with robotic arms, especially since you are the only one in the world who has them."

"Guess you're right. Maybe I should stop leaving people alive then, starting with you." Chi smirked and removed her jacket, revealing her arm. "It's good to know my inventions have been noticed. I worked hard on these babies." She rolled up her pants, showing her legs. Or where her legs were supposed to be. "But I guess you didn't know about these ones, seeing as I'm not one to wear revealing clothing, unless I'm drunk and prancing around in my underwear. I suggest you go now, and forget whatever nonsense I have done to you. I don't want to hurt you."

"Don't want to hurt me?" The man laughed maniacally. "You've done more than hurt me, you've destroyed me!" He then jumped into action. Jumping into the air, attempting the slash Chi from above.

Chi jumped out of the way, avoiding the hit aimed at her. She got ready to pounce, but the man was faster than he seemed. He made quick handseals. "Doton: Dosekiryū" (Earth Style: Earth Dragon)She frowned as the dragon aimed itself at her. She didn't have time to dodge, she's have to use offense.

Before she was able to deliver a punch at the dragon, she got pulled out of the way. Her old sensei had gotten her out of the way. „Stay out of this." She harshly said to her sensei. „I can handle this just fine, this isn't my first time fighting for my life. If I need your help, I'll ask for it!"

„Doton Kage Bunshin" (Earth Style Shadow Clone ) The man yelled, this caused several Earth clones to appear, surrounding her and Kakashi.

Chi glared at the man, lifting up her right arm. Both men watched as the hand started to change shape, the steel shifted changing the entire design of the hand. After a short while, the hand resembeled a small canon. „People who usually get far enough for me to use this don't live to tell about it. I'm sorry, but now I'm really forced to eliminate you."

„I'm not the one who is going to die here tonight!" The man shrieked like a banshee then sent the earth clones all at once at her. What he didn't expect was a blast of chakra start shooting, evaporating the clones that is hit.

Chi kicked one of the clones in the stomach, then grabbing a hold of it, sending it straight for another clone. Turning around she blasted another clone, leaving nothing behind. She did a backflip, kicking a clone in the jaw, making it disappear. After a while all the clones where dealt with. ‚Now for the original copy.' She thought, smirking to herself.

She walked towards him, blocking the kunai's he kept throwing at her out of desperation. He had no chakra left to do jutsu's. He used it all on large pointless techniques that he probably thought was sure to eliminate her.

When Chi got close enough, the man fell onto his backside, terror filling his eyes. „I'll see you soon koibito." He watched as the canon lifted towards him, filling up with chakra and then he was gone.

Chi turned towards Kakashi after taking care of the annoying man. „Told you I could take care of it myself."

„So you're going to eliminate me too, since I've seen your jutsu?" Her old sensei asked.

„No, you are no threat to me." She smiled at Kakashi. „Besides, if I'm going to be keep going on missions with you guys, you are going to have to see that eventually. That is if Queen Bitch ever lets us on good missions while I'm here."

„If you didn't keep ditching your escorts, we would be on better missions already."

„I dont need escorts. I made a promise, and I won't be leaving this place any time soon. You guys don't need to worry. I might not like you people a lot, but I'm currently a comrade, and a team member again so I have your backs no matter what."

„I think that is the nicest thing you have said ever since you arrived." Kakashi mumbled.

„Don't get used to it."

Her right hand started to change back into a normal looking hand. At least, as normal as it can look.

„So the limbs where yours?"

„Yup."

„And you haven't told Tsunade about your current situation."

„No need, there isn't anything she can do."

„She would be able to transplant new limbs for you."

„Don't need or want them. These are my babies, my pride and joy. I wouldn't be the shinobi I was without them."

„We should still tell Tsunade about your current situation, and deal with your punishment for killing a man."

„Why should I get punished for killing someone who attacked me? Survival of the fittest. Plus, that man was just dying to get back to his daughter."

„What happened to her?"

„I killed her." Kakashi looked at her like she was joking. But he couldn't find any indication that she was, she was completely serious. „Bitch broke a glass on my face. I'm going to my hotel room, come get me when we're seeing Queen Bitch and all her glory. If I'm not grumpy, I might even beg for better missions."

(Oh man, have still not figured out how to put shit loads of spaces here. Bare with me, I'm trying my best. Consider this the official separator between places in the chapter, or whatever.)

Chi tossed and turned in the bed. She was having a nightmare, a horrible one at that.

'Saitou Chi was determined to bring back her team mate when she left with the retrieval team. She just never expected that she would miss it when they dragged him back through the gates. She dearly hoped that everyone else was safe and not in the same pain at the moment. She failed, and now she was destined to lay there until she bled to death. It wouldn't take a long time, at least that was what she was wishing for. The pain was unimaginable.

Her head fell to the side, her vision was getting blurry and it was getting harder to breathe. Most likely due to the blood filling her lungs slowly. She managed to make out what was left of her arm 2 meters away from her.

'The bastards kept their end of the deal. They did manage to rip off a limb.' She thought to herself. "Fuck." She sobbed uncontrollably. 'No way will they be able to get to me in time.' She thought bitterly to herself. For once in her miserable short life as a ninja she wanted to make a difference and be noticed. But this isn't what she wanted. She didn't want to go alone.

"I don't want to die." She cried harder as she looked up into the sky once again. The sun was almost down. 'Why haven't they come for me? It's been hours.' In all truth, it had only been couple of minutes. But laying in the grass bleeding to death. Minutes felt like hours, if not days. Her light grey eyes, which was hours before full of hope, determination & pride, were now almost lifeless while she watched the darkness come for her. Even if she would have tried to drag her obese body, she only had one hand to do it with. It was futile, she was going to die.

Her train of thought about her useless life was interrupted by the sound of footsteps. "Who's there?" She managed to rasp out before coughing up blood. "Are you here to finish me off?" She never felt so helpless and miserable in her short life.'

Chi shot up from bed, only to end up in a fetal position on the ground, sobbing. She was so out of it, she didn't even care who picked her up and put her in their laps. She felt arms circle around her, a chin put on top of her head. "Calm down." The person said. It didn't help, she just started to cry uncontrollably, grabbing the unknown person's shirt, she continued to sob like a little child.
