This is a story rated PG-13 for mentions of blood and romanctic hints. Also, before I start posting, I would like to explain that this is a co-written fanfic taking place in an AU-Universe ((it also explains my character in Darksong ad I's roleplay's background but that's just a bonus.)) written over a year ago so some of it isn't that great. Enjoy the ride.
Our story starts out at the borders between Kumogakure, Konohagakure,and Daitchigakure. Kirei, a chuunin from the village of Kumogakure carried a small tiger on his back. Blood dripped from the tiger's flank. Kirei had black hair with pink streaks and brown eyes. Today he had on a silver shirt over a pair of black jeans. A ninjas vest covered his shirt. On his vest were weapon compartments that held shuriken, kunai, scrolls, and other equipment. He also had on a holster to hold his weapons for quick access...
The kunoichi sighed inwardly to herself, green eyes trailing around the forest as her zori-covered feet lead her unconsciously along the border of the Hi no Kuni and the Rice Kuni. She wore a average black shirt, with markings stitched onto the shoulders; the right being a pawprint and the left being the Konohagakure's symbol. Her pants were cargo-like, bearing a few pockets here and there. On the belt-loop of the left side, a small scroll bag rested against her thigh as she held still, the scroll rolling back and forth as she walked. The basic shuriken and kunai holster were on her right thigh, indicating that she was right-handed. Rope slung over her right shoulder, going down across her chest and going around her left hip; the rope loosely tied around the sheath of a sword that hung at her lower-back, titled upwards by the hilt because of how she carried it.
Brown hair was tied back into a loose ponytail, a few of the bangs too short o be tied so they concealed parts of her hitai-ate, though the Konoha symbol was visible. Black gloved hands, fingerless, reached up to rub the back of her neck as she continued on the small border patrol. "..."
Kirei continued walking near the border, keeping the dead tiger close to his trickled from it, dying the sheer green grass red. Stopping, he listened for voices.
The wolf pup pressed his black nose to the ground, sniffing while paws carried him towards the irony blood scent. He lifted his head from the ground, bounding into some foliage and nearly slipping from the bloodied grass. It yelped, and he looked over at the dead tiger, looking around. "...?"
Kirei heard a shuffling sound from the fioliage. Placing the dead tiger on the ground, he drew a shuriken. "Show yourself." he calmly stated...
The pup flattened its ears, hackles raising as he lowered himself. A low growling emitted from its throat, yellow eyes glaring at the weapon in the ninja's hand.
The ninja stood his ground after hearing a low growl. Dropping to his knees, he crawled over to see what had made the sound.
The pup growled again, backing up a few pawsteps. He bared his fangs in a warning for the ninja not to come any further.
The teenage ninja slid the shirukin back into his weapons not too far from the cub, he frowned. 'Wolves don't live in these parts. Someone must have bred it.' he thought,reaching over to pet the pup on the head.
The pup snarled, immediately snapping its jaws to bite the boy's hand. Hackles bristled, lips curling up to show even the roots of its fangs.
Flinching, Kirei pulled his hand back. "You don't have to snap at me."he hissed, standing up. Dusting himself off, he grabbed the tiger. Succuring the tiger to his back, he turned and walked away.
The wolf calmed itself, but it quickly turned around, darting back to its summoner to report the other ninja
Kirei continued walking. The pup's sudden appearance had worried him. Not only that put the tiger was weighing him down. Stumbling over a rock, blood began to pour from a wound the tiger had inflicted on him earlier. nable to move, he leaned his back on the tree and began to have a flashback.
"... Hey, you're back." The kunoichi lowered onto one knee, petting the wolf pup as it approached. It's ears were still flattened, whimpering as it gave its report in its own tongue. The girl nodded, as if being able to understand the language. "Alright... Couldn't see it because of the dead tiger? But it had a Kumo scent.. That's good enough, you can go now.." The pup noded, disappearing in a cloud with a "poof."
Enter flashback-Kirei had accidentally trodded upon a tigers territory whilst studying the innate behavior of foxes out in the woods. He had been assigned a mission to scout out any foxes that might want to help the village. Staring down the tiger, he drew a shuriken. Throwing it with quick spped, the tiger dodged it and a hole appeared in a tree. Tossing one more,he hit the tiger, wounding it in a forepaw. The tiger let out a warcry and slammed into Kirei, biting him on the shoulder. Blood guzzed softly out of the teens shoulder. Using this as a tactic, he wiped some of the blood on his hands. A summoning scroll had fallen out of his weapons holster. Drawing some symbols, he placed his bloodstained hands on the scroll. Slicing his hand, he allowed a few drops of blood to cover the contract. Murmuring a few words, a small grey lion apperead. Without even speaking, the ninja and lion began to move out. Kirei formed a piece of lightning around a shuriken, jamming into into the ground. A hole appeared and the lino burst out, holding two large clubs made of the vines around the tiger, Kirei stood back. The lion had spikes jam out and blood ripped from the tiger's body. The tiger fell to the floor, dead. Picking it up, Kirei walked away as the lion disappeared in a puff of smoke.-End flashback
Blinking his eyes, Kirei began to wall away, leaving the tiger there. The memory of the tiger was still fresh in his mind.
The kunoichi rubbed the back of her neck. "Hmm... What should I do? I mean, the guy's not really doing anything... He only killed a tiger. Poor thing." She muttered to herself. She shrugged, leaning back against the tree. "If he moves, I'll move."
The shinobi continued walking. He had to report to the village. "That wolf pup was suspicious. This must be reported."he mused to himself, calmy walking.
"..." The kunoichi stopped, thinking for a moent. "He might report that he saw a wolf pup... Shoot, I didn't think that through enough." She groaned. "Damn, what do I do? I can't just kill the guy; Kumo'll be after Konoha again and I'm sure the senpais won't be pleased if it's all my fault..."
Kirei shrugged it off. "I'm sure the wolf cub or whoever summoned it isn't too far from here. Maybe I can convince them to leave. Unless of course they want a fight or are here on a mission." he murmured. Sighing, he gontinued his walk.
Shaking her head, she got up from leaning against the tree, clenching her glove-covered fists. "Alright.. Maybe I can talk to the guy and convince him to just shrug off my li'l summon..." She sighed. "Unless he's like one of those zombie ninja who always go by the rules... The henchmen kind." She sighed again, but shunshin'd towards the Kumo country
Kirei sighed. Lying down in the grass, he gazed at the sky. "I'll have some time to rest. Give or take an hour or so."he said, pulling his headband over his face. Pulling out a stuffed lion, he cuddled up with it and drifted off to sleep.
Kian (name for Ki's human form) reappeared on a thick limb of a tree, looking around with pupil-less green eyes. She blinked again, sniffing the air before shunshin'ing off the tree limb. She appeared once more on another tree, finally spotting a boy. /... Is that him?/
Kirei shifted in his sleep. Something or someone was staring at him. His eyes flashed open, and he looked around with a frown.
Kian tensed wearily at this, scooting back to hide in the tree's shadows. The sword shifted loosely on her back as she raised her hand to placed her hand on the tree's base to keep her balance.
Kirei sniffed the air. Not picking up and scents, he looked through the trees. He was just underneath the tree Kian was in but she was so far up he couldn't see her. Sighing, he sat down...
Kian sighed inwardly but she got up, silently hopping onto a lower branch and swinging around. She swiftly concentrated chakra to the soles of her feet so that she clung upside down to the branch without having to use her arms. "Err... Hey, have you seen a.. dog.. around here?"
Kirei stated up at Kian. "I've seen a wolf pu. Other than that, no. Is it yours?" he asked. Looking at the strange girl, he smiled.
"Uhh, yeah. Something like that." She muttered. She raised her hands, turning her hitai-ate slightly so the Konoha symbol was concealed slightly. "Just, uh... forget you ever saw the thing, alright?"
Kirei raised an eyebrow. Shaking his head, he frowned. "Why would I forget something like that? For all I know, you could be an enemy coming to infiltrate our village."
Kian freaked a bit at this suggestion. "Me? Infiltrate your village? Alone?! No... Noo... I'd rather just stay and train with the senseis and senpais..." She muttered. She caught her sword before it could slide off her back. "Besides, I have no sense of direction... I'd need guides and maps to find a shinobi village... Err, wait. Anyways. Yeah, don't... tell your village about me or the wolf pup, 'cuz I won't do anything..."
Kirei stared at her. "I think I'll tell thrm anyways. I won't mention you just the pup. I'm Kirei but you can just call me either Rei oer Kier. And you are?" he asked calmly.
Kian hesitated at this, wondering if she should really reveal her name to a Kumo Nin or to even give him a fake one. ".."
Kirei sighed. Dusting himself off, he pocketed the stuffed lion he had dropped on the ground. Turning,he began to trudge towards the village.
Kian blinked. She swung herself around so she was right-side up on the branch, before leaping down from it, squatting as she landed to lessen the impact on her knees. "Err. Thanks, for, uh. Not going to mention me to your village... Especially since I'm a Konoha nin." She muttered the last part.
Kirei nodded at Kian. "You're welcome. See ya kid! If we ever meet in battle, give it your all." he umrmured, walking away.
"Kumo-Nin aren't so bad as I thought they are..." Kian thought aloud, rubbing the back of her neck blankly.
Kirei who had not walked far acknowledged her. "Not all of us are this nice. Lucky for you you're kind of cute. Not to mention you're a girl and harming females is wrong. Well see ya!" he said, calmly walking way.
"H-Hey!!" She growled, eyes narrowing a bit. "You're just being sexist! You pink-haired homo!!" She growled, shaking her fist angrily while gritting her teeth. "Girls can be just as strong as any guy! Just look at Godaime Hokage-sama...!"
Kirei rolled his eyes. "If I were sexist I would have insulted females in general.I'm just a gentleman who doesn't hurt females unless absolutley neccisary." he said turning around and coming closer.
Kian tensed a bit, one hand reaching for the sword that hung by her lower back. "Still..."
Kirei shrugged it off. "If you'd lke to be that way, we can do battle. I have nothing against you and I'm almost late."
"A battle?..." She trailed off for a moment, her free hand reaching up to adjust her hitai-ate back to normal. "If that's what you want... Just hope I live to see my senpais again."
Kirei blinked. Cocking his head to the side, his mouth formed into a wide o. Blinking, he smiled. "So it is a challenge and I wasn't just sepculating. You really want a battle." he said to Kian slowly. Rubing his chin, he grined. "Tell you what. If you win I won't report you or the wolf. Though if I win you tell me your name." he said clamly.
Kian blinked once more. "All you want is my name? 'Cuz I can just give it to you right now... Unless you really /are/ looking for a fight..." She gripped the handle of her sword at her last sentence.
Kirei shook his head. "I've had enough battles for one day but one more won't hurt. Besides you seem sadened now that I think about it. A battle could do you some good."
"Sadened...?" She shrugged that off, but sighed. "Very well, your move then." Kian growled, raising her free hand to chin-level in a single-handed seal. The wind blew suddenly, a few leaves from the trees blowing off from the branches.
Kirei stared at the leaves. Jumping onto a tree branch overhead, he took out a shuriken. Infusing it with a small amount of lightning, he used the shuriken as a flying machine despite it being too small. Placing a stuffed figure of himselfon it,he formed the pig handsign. The shuriken shattered and the stuffed animal began to wall towards Kian.
Kian frowned at this, backing up a few steps and pulling out her sword, allowing it to glint a bit in the sunlight. She held out the sword with one hand, the other still in the same seal as she looked at the doll. "..." /?/
Kirei contiuned to from the pig sing followed by the rooster sign over and over again. After doing it five times, the stuffed doll of Kirei began to fill up. It exploded sending fire and lightning infused shuriken and kunai all over the area.
"Hah! You think weapons are going to stop me?!" Kian grinned cockily. She swiftly disappeared where she was, the sound of metal clashing against metal indicating where she was. Some of the shuriken and kunai that came in contact with her sword swiftly dropped to the ground, the rest shooting off in different directions. The kunoichi appeared on a nearby tree branch, her hand in a different single-hand seal this time.
"I never said that was meant to stop you." he said. Pointing at the ground all around him, he smiled. "That was just to set up the field. Now for me to continue." he said. Forming the transfrom, subsitution justu, andteleportation jutsu, he smiled. Half of the kunai and shuriken had combined to form a large katana. The other half had disappeared and been replaced with a single glowing orb. Grabbing the sword, Kirei smiled.
"Not bad... For a Kumo Nin." Kian complimented. She only grinned. "I have a wide variety of jutsus, just so you know... I pestered my senpais to teach me different ranges. Just a warning."
Kirei yawned. So she was a little cocky as well as good at battling. No deal. I mean atleast not until she summoned another wolf or something of the sort. "Just go on and move..."he said, pulling out a book to read.
"Already did." Kian didn't move from her spot, still grinning as a bunshin appeared behind Kirei, holding a kunai steadily to the back of his neck. Unlike the real Kian, the bunshin didn't draw its sword.
Kirei sighed. Taking his burgandy and silver katana, he slid it across his left shoulder. Once the blood came in contact with the sword, the orb he had created began to glow a pitch red. Fire burst from it as a wave of wind slammed into the area, knocking down tress. Kirei jumped onto a tree. These tress were forming into mazes, ladders, stairways, and towers. Standing on one that had become a tower, he smiled.
Kian scowled, looking around. Her bunshin disappeared in a poof. She sighed. "Neji-senpai, I wish you were here. You'd probably figure out what this is..."
Yawning, Kirei stayed on top of the tower, "Seems as if the forest has become amazed by the twoering ladders of destiny going up the staircase of death." he murmured with a wave of his hand.
"Weird..." She rose a brow upon hearing what he said. "..." She sighed once more. "I should've come with some of my senpais.. Oh well, I still have these guys." She peeled open her small cut from before, letting it bleed and then performing the seals required for summonings.
Kirei began to pant from exhaustion. Kneeling on the tower,he slid his sword into the base of it. Leaving it there, he faced Kian. "Time to take you head on. I may have exhausted myself using my kekkai genkai, but I refuse to give up." he stated, gasping for air...
"Kekkei Genkai... eh? Lucky... I'm nowhere near having a bloodline." She murmured, but she shook her head, nodding. She lowered her handseal, licking her lips like some dog. "Come."
Kirei struggled to jump from his tower to another about fifthy meters below a shuriken from its holster, he threw it at Kian.
Kian just easily blocked the shuriken with her sword, not even so much as moving aside from lifting her arm.
Blinking, Kirei stood his ground.
"Is that really it? Too exhausted to go because of your Kekkei Genkai?" Kian lowered her arm down to her side, being careful not to let the blade touch the ground. A bunshin swiftly shot out, drawing a kunai to bring it down on Kirei.
Kirei swung to keep the kunia from hitting him lethaly. It hit him in the chest, and he fell to his knees, blood pouring from his chest.
The bunshin blinked, before it dropped its henge, revealing an adult-sized wolf, whom looked over at Kian. The kunoichi walked over, the sword resting on her shoulder. "Dang, I didn't think Shirotsu would do something that bad... You alright?... You only wanted to know my name, right? I don't want you to get killed and have Kumo coming after Konoha again... Neji-senpai won't be pleased..."
Kirei nodded. Dusting himself off, he pulled on a silver jacket. "So what is your name?" he croaked.
She took her sheath, withdrawing her sword with a small clink. She pulled the rope over her shoulder, crossing it over her chest so that the sword hung loosely once more at her lowerback. Finally, she placed a hand on her hip, her left hand fingering the scroll that hung in its case. "Kian."
Kirei nodded and turned to leave After all everything was good. "Bye Kian! See you again some day!" he yelled back.

Kirei stared at the leaves. Jumping onto a tree branch overhead, he took out a shuriken. Infusing it with a small amount of lightning, he used the shuriken as a flying machine despite it being too small. Placing a stuffed figure of himselfon it,he formed the pig handsign. The shuriken shattered and the stuffed animal began to wall towards Kian.
Kian frowned at this, backing up a few steps and pulling out her sword, allowing it to glint a bit in the sunlight. She held out the sword with one hand, the other still in the same seal as she looked at the doll. "..." /?/

The other half had disappeared and been replaced with a single glowing orb. Grabbing the sword, Kirei smiled.
"Not bad... For a Kumo Nin." Kian complimented. She only grinned. "I have a wide variety of jutsus, just so you know... I pestered my senpais to teach me different ranges. Just a warning."
Kirei yawned. So she was a little cocky as well as good at battling. No deal. I mean atleast not until she summoned another wolf or something of the sort. "Just go on and move..."he said, pulling out a book to read.
"Already did." Kian didn't move from her spot, still grinning as a bunshin appeared behind Kirei, holding a kunai steadily to the back of his neck. Unlike the real Kian, the bunshin didn't draw its sword.
Kirei sighed. Taking his burgandy and silver katana, he slid it across his left shoulder. Once the blood came in contact with the sword, the orb he had created began to glow a pitch red. Fire burst from it as a wave of wind slammed into the area, knocking down tress. Kirei jumped onto a tree. These tress were forming into mazes, ladders, stairways, and towers. Standing on one that had become a tower, he smiled.
Kian scowled, looking around. Her bunshin disappeared in a poof. She sighed. "Neji-senpai, I wish you were here. You'd probably figure out what this is..."
Yawning, Kirei stayed on top of the tower, "Seems as if the forest has become amazed by the twoering ladders of destiny going up the staircase of death." he murmured with a wave of his hand.
"Weird..." She rose a brow upon hearing what he said. "..." She sighed once more. "I should've come with some of my senpais.. Oh well, I still have these guys." She peeled open her small cut from before, letting it bleed and then performing the seals required for summonings.
Kirei began to pant from exhaustion. Kneeling on the tower,he slid his sword into the base of it. Leaving it there, he faced Kian. "Time to take you head on. I may have exhausted myself using my kekkai genkai, but I refuse to give up." he stated, gasping for air...
"Kekkei Genkai... eh? Lucky... I'm nowhere near having a bloodline." She murmured, but she shook her head, nodding. She lowered her handseal, licking her lips like some dog. "Come."
Kirei struggled to jump from his tower to another about fifthy meters below a shuriken from its holster, he threw it at Kian.
Kian just easily blocked the shuriken with her sword, not even so much as moving aside from lifting her arm.
Blinking, Kirei stood his ground.
"Is that really it? Too exhausted to go because of your Kekkei Genkai?" Kian lowered her arm down to her side, being careful not to let the blade touch the ground. A bunshin swiftly shot out, drawing a kunai to bring it down on Kirei.
Kirei swung to keep the kunia from hitting him lethaly. It hit him in the chest, and he fell to his knees, blood pouring from his chest.
The bunshin blinked, before it dropped its henge, revealing an adult-sized wolf, whom looked over at Kian. The kunoichi walked over, the sword resting on her shoulder. "Dang, I didn't think Shirotsu would do something that bad... You alright?... You only wanted to know my name, right? I don't want you to get killed and have Kumo coming after Konoha again... Neji-senpai won't be pleased..."
Kirei nodded. Dusting himself off, he pulled on a silver jacket. "So what is your name?" he croaked.
She took her sheath, withdrawing her sword with a small clink. She pulled the rope over her shoulder, crossing it over her chest so that the sword hung loosely once more at her lowerback. Finally, she placed a hand on her hip, her left hand fingering the scroll that hung in its case. "Kian."
Kirei nodded and turned to leave After all everything was good. "Bye Kian! See you again some day!" he yelled back.
