It happens on a cool and crisp summer night. Word gets out that those who have a kekkei genkai are being targeted. Sasuke Uchiha, currently in Konoha prison, has his security tightened. Other clans have their people go out in duos or more, always keeping an eye on those who are wandering off. Tonight is not one of those nights.
Shimon Hijiri is out in the forest near his clan's home, far enough to be seen by others and to meditate. The Hijiri clan, though not known in Konoha like the Senju and Uchiha, Sarutobi, Yamanaka, Nara, or Akimichi clans, is still a powerful clan especially with their kekkei genkai. It is known as Tenko Hakaimono Weather Destroyer. It takes a toll on a person when using it so the Hijiri clan has gone to lengths to make sure everyone knows to use it only in emergencies.
"Shimon!" A young voice calls out. Shimon looks over his shoulder and sees his younger sister, Serena Hijiri, they have a gap in age due to their parents having Shimon while they were still teens and having Serena ten years later in their late twenties. Serena has only three years left in the Konoha academy before she enters the shinobi world.
"Serena," Shimon says, voice calm with a slight edge. "What are you doing out here?"
"I came looking for you! Mama says that the food is nearly ready and that you need to come inside."
Shimon nods, conceding to his younger sister. He grabs the shuriken he has been practicing with following Serena inside. However, the moment Shimon's foot meets the wooden floor of the back of their family home, he no longer feels his younger sister. Looking over his shoulder he does not see her behind him nor in the forest. He calls out to her to little avail. Retracing his steps, the closer he gets to the forest he sees someone wearing dark clothing, arms covering his younger sister.
"Let. Her. Go." Shimon growls. The person's response is just pure laughter, grip tightening around the nine-year-old.
"Want her, come find her." The person releases smoke bombs, Shimon tries to go after them only to be stopped by very thin sharp lines cutting Shimon all over his body. He can hear the gasps of others behind him, calling out his and Serena's names. All the dark brunette can do is groan when others make their way over to him to look over his side. Sure, the Hijiri clan has found ways to be useful without the use of Tenko Hakaimono yet the one thing they are not is medical nin. Some do a little medical knowledge, which is enough to keep Shimon conscious enough as they realize that the chunin is going to have to be admitted to the hospital. A jolt of pain shoots through Shimon before the darkness claims him, the begging of others to keep his eyes open, he tries fighting sleep but it is no use, he cannot stay awake much longer.
Shimon's eyes fall shut.
Serena struggles against her capture. The person is wearing what Serena recognizes to be the Kirigakure anbu. Since the Fourth Shinobi War last year, all of the hidden villages have been educated in what others high ups of the villages wear and that they should not always be considered an enemy at first sight.
"Stop squirming you brat." The person's voice sounds. . . almost animalistic, very little human.
Serena keeps struggling in the hopes that her capture will be fed up enough that they will drop her, she knows her way back to Konoha, back to her family, she can make her way. Hopefully she can find her big brother and they can put this incident behind them. They can go back to how things are, maybe even tell Lady Tsunade that they should act like life is not all that different, their guards always being up whilst their enemies think that they are being foolish, that their guards are down. Then they can strike, get their opponents when they least expect it.
The person's hold tightens. Soon enough Serena closes her eyes, turning away, due to a bright light. She can smell grass as though it has just rained.
"You made it." Another voice, this time more feminine and human, states.
"I have." Says Serena's capture.
Serena is then handed over to a woman. "Do not be afraid," she says. "We are here to help. We would like to help you."
"Help how?" Serena is no fool. She knows that this woman is not going to release her to her family.
"By releasing you of the power you hold." Serena screws her eyes closed. One more person comes and helps the capture hold Serena as the woman opens the red-hair brunette's eyes. The woman is beautiful with fair skin, bleach almost white hair. Her eyes are a near milk white which leads Serena to believe that she is blind to some capacity. The woman reaches out to Serena, the child screams as she feels a pressure around her eyes.
