CHAPTER 1: Only the Beginning
It was a week after the ceremony and the academy asked us all to return on Monday morning so we can get our squads assignment. Until then, I just remained in my room at the house, still curious about who that man was. He seemed so familiar, but at the same... It was like I just met him.
I lifted myself out of bed and walked along the hall to my sisters room. When I got there and peeked my head around the door she wasn't there so I headed towards the shower. Before I opened the door my dad had called for me.
"Soraya! Your friend is here"
I hurried down the stairs and to the door to see Kumai at the door. Her blonde hair was put into a bun today which meant she had something in mind. Her actions always depended on her hair. When she was going to walk all day: it was in a bun, when she was going to fight: it was in pig-tails.
"Hey Soraya, you wanna go for a walk?" she asked.
Dammit...
"Uh... Sure" I responded. She was my friend and all, but I couldn't do with all this walking every Sunday.
By the time I got outside and closed the door, she was already down the street.
"Come on slow poke!"
Why is she so energetic...
I began a slow jog towards her and it stayed that way until we got to Ichiraku Ramen where Ayame was waiting for us. Ever since her father died, she took over the business. However, she also had a co-runner that would take her place whenever she left on a journey and she'd occasionally come back after 2 months. It was a shock to see her there.
"Ayame!" shouted. Ayame stopped sweeping and looked up. When we reached her, she began to speak.
"Oh, it's you two" She said. "Want the usual? Or trying something new?"
"No thanks, Ayame. We're jogging today. It's Sunday, remember?" Kumai said.
"Oh, of course. Well have fun" Ayame said, then she turned back to sweeping. We continued jogging. and jogging. and jogging....
"Kumai" I took a breath. "C-can we stop for a moment... I need some water" Kumai stopped and sat on the ground.
"Phew! What a nice run so far... Right?" Kumai asked. I was still trembling because of the 1 1/2 miles we ran.
"Right!?" She shouted.
"U-Uh, yeah!" I said with fake joy.
"If you liked that, then you'll LOVE the next run. We're going for 2 miles!" She said while smiling.
I: Oh my god...
She stood up and stared towards the sky.
"Yeah! Maybe this time we'll aim for the Hokage Building" She began.
Damn.
"Or maybe the Hokage Faces" she continued.
Damn, Damn.
"No! Even better! We can go for outside the gates. That'll have us pu-" She stopped and noticed that I was already dashing back to my house.
Before I got to the door, Kumai tackled me onto the ground.
"Where ya' going Raya?" She asked suspiciously.
"Kumai, I just wanna take a break. I'm tired right now" I said. She pushed her face towards mine and took a closer look.
"Your stressing about something, aren't you?" she asked.
"No" I replied.
"Yes you are, we're best friends Soraya... I know when you're under the weather" She grabbed my hand. "Come on, lets go to your room and talk about it" She began running up the stares to the point where I fell on my face and it was only dragging.
When we reached my room we jumped onto my bed and began talking
"So... Is it a boy?" Kamui asked.
"You can sorta say that" I said while looking down. She gasped.
"It's Yaski, isn't it!?" She shouted.
"N-No!" I began blushing.
"You LIKE him!"
"No I don't!" It turned into a screaming session for about 5 mins til my mother came up stares and told us to quiet down.
[He had bright red eyes that pierced into yours like a bullet. The way he spoke whenever I was around him made me warm up inside. Yaski always was nice to me. I met him in class.
"Alright" The sensei began. "Soraya, you're paired with Yaski" We both looked at each other. All of a sudden, I felt something inside of me.
"Hi," He said to me. "I'm Yaski, I hope we both pass this assignment!" He smiled. I smiled too.]
I: We never finished that assignment... Got a 71.
I looked at Kamui.
"Okay, okay. It involves my sister" I began. "I saw her in the hallway during the ceremony when she ran off the stage. She talking to this man and he threatened her. I don't know what they were talking about, but she seemed pretty spooked out, and that made me scared too. I know, I don't like her like THAT. But she's still my sister, and I'm worried about her"
"Soraya" Kamui said. "There is no need to worry, your sister is one of our best ninja! She's a great medic, is great with her Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, amazing with her weapons" I looked to the side because it was striking to know that I couldn't do anything like her. "She can't be brought down so easily by some... Man. She has taken down a bunch of men before, he's just another one to add to the list"
"Yeah, maybe your rig-" I was interrupted by the scream of my mother. Me and Kamui got up and ran downstairs. In the kitchen, we saw the mysterious man again holding my sister by the neck and arms. Suji was standing right next to him.
"Hello everyone" He began. My father ran into the kitchen as well. "No need to worry, I will just be borrowing Takami for a while. She is helping me with something, and I felt like it'd be beneficial for us to take her along instead of living her here to... Procrastinate"
My father dropped his cigar and got into his fighting stance.
"Let go of my daughter, or we're going to have problems" He said, angrily.
"Oh... Problem? No, no, no. Sir, I don't wish to have problems with you..." The man said. Suji appeared behind my father and attempted to strike him in the back of his head, but my father ducked.
"But Suji there... He wouldn't mind having "problems" with you..." The man disappeared in a blast of smoke with Takami.
"Mr. Jonai... It was a mistake to put your hands up" Suji said. "Get ready to pay the price" My father took two steps back and turned
towards him.
"Sukairi, take Soraya and her friend and leave the house" My father said.
"Haru. I will not! I will stay here and help" She took off her kitchen apron. "Soraya, you and Kamui get out of her now" We nodded and ran out the house.
"Get ready, Mr. Suji" Haru said.
