• (The Unnamed Demon)
    -somewhere in the woods of the Land of Fire-
    A young girl with silver hair and red eyes, no older than 13, sits high in a tree branch, a giant broadsword hanging beside her. She wears tattered black cargo pants, a black, strapless belted top with a midnight blue cloak, such a deep shade it is easily mistaken for black. *goowwwww...* "Uff... Damn, Im getting hungry! Where the hell's the next village?" The silver-haired girl took out a small purse in the shape of a frog....it was empty. "Mmm..." she grumbled. "Oh, GREAT! Now im gonna have to steal, hunt demons or whore around just ta get some ramen!!!"
    "Help! Theives! Somebody help me!" She heard a male voice in the distance. She looked in its direction with twisted grin and a gleam in her eye.
    "Hm, nobody'd try stealing from someone unless they had something of value on them..... YUP! Stealin' it is!" She slung the swordstrap on her back and ran to the source of the screaming, not half a mile away. She stoped behind a bush to get a look at the man and his attacker. There was a group of bandits in a semi-circle around a man huddled up against his carriage. The horse which pulled it and the driver, dead. *!...JACKPOT! A LORD! THIS IS GREAT!! ALL I GOTTA DO IT TAKE OUT THOE GUYS AND ILL BE SET FOR MONTHS! Lets just hope hes got a good amount of cash on 'im!* she flipped the hood of her cloak and juped out between the man and the criminals with such speed it seemed she just appeared out of nowhere.
    "What the hell!?!" said one of the men; most likely their leader.
    "You're not even ninja, this will be swift." she said in a dark menacing voice, the one she always uses when she's about to kill.
    "HAH! YOU THINK SOME HALF-WIT KID IT GONNA STOP US! Listen just g-" In an instant the man fell to the ground in two bloody halves and the girl standing above his corpse, wielding her sword, which is about the same size as she is!
    "Your voice irritates me." Before the other men had time to react, they were all slaughtered in five bloody heaps. She swung the sword on her back and turned to face the nobleman who was clutching onto a very fancy box. inside it, the money! He stared up at her as if she were an angel sent from the heavens. Bah!
    "Oh! thank you! Thank you miss! You saved me! Thank you for helping me with thoes thugs-"
    "Help? You? Dont make me laugh!"
    "Huh-?" He looked up, confused, still holding the box tight.
    *Dumbass* "The only reason I killed them, was so I could rob you myself!" As he looked at her face with absolute horror, he knew instantly it was the face of a demon! She grinned, bareing her fangs and lunged at him with her claws.
    "GAAAAHHHHHHUUUUGK--"

    (Just an Alias)
    -On a smaller island in the Land of Water-
    A typical misty afternoon. Devonte, the bartender of Phantasmic, a small ramen bar was sitting behind the counter reading a newspaper. He was a young man, in his mid twenties with spikey brown hair and deep red eyes. Buisness was slow, (as usual) but he'd only seen one customer all day! *sigh* "Says here that the son of the Fire Nation's feudal lord was found dead two days ago and surrounded by the corpses of the most notorius gang of bandits in their country! Hmph, " He folded it down. "You wouldnt happen to know anything about this, now would you Kallie?"
    *sluuurrrpp* "Now what would make you think that?" laughed the young girl sitting at the bar with a stack of empty bowls next to her.(which was gradually getting larger) It was the silver haired demon. Her hair hung messily over her right eye and her face was, for the most part splattered with blood. She gulped down her glass of milk while he ranted.
    "Oh, I dont know.... Maybe its the blood, the empty bowls of ramen which you're never usually able to afford. Which reminds me, here!" He held out a slip of paper. She spat out her milk in shock.
    "WHAT! THAT MUCH FOR THIS!?! YOU GOTTA BE F****N' KIDDING ME"
    "For this AND for everything you've been putting on you tab for two years!!"
    "Oh fine! Here!" She tossed out the exact change.
    "Damn, did he really have this much on him? You'd think he'd have been gaurded."
    "Guess not. Probably "too much to pay", thoes cheap b******s. They really gotta protect themselves better. So, what are the rumors about me?"
    "Well there's not much to say. The Fire Nation's ANBU have taken over the search for you for the time being but they're not gonna have much luck seeing is that youre in the Water Nation -of course all the nations still lookin for you- and nobody really knows anything about you. No official name except that alias of yours that you use around clients, 'Alondra'. They've also identified a few other names you go by: 'Elora', 'Kiana', 'Evero' and 'Laila'. So If I were you, I wouldnt use thoes too often."
    "I see. Anything else?"
    "Not really. ANBU are guessing youre behind the murder but theyre not really sure. You never do leave behind any witnesses, unless you're hired by them." He picked up some of the empty bows and went to the sink. "By the way... 'Kallie', is that youre real name or-?" She shook her head 'no'.
    "Just another alias" .......
    "Well, You want some instant ramen for the road? Its on me this time!"
    "You bet! What would I do without you Devonte?"
    "Starve. 'Course you could always just make a meal outta your victims, ya cannibalistic f***!"
    "Filthy half-blood p***k!" They both laughed.
    "Im gonna miss ya kid. You gow away for months on end and I never really know whats going on with you..." He was washing her dishes. "You know...one of these days they are gonna find you. They've been hunting you for years, you're as infamous as any S-ranked criminal. Even more so than one of your previous masters."
    "Really, now? Heh, maybe Ive finally surpassed my old Sensei, the feared Maori Hoshigaki! Haha!" He slammed down the cup he was drying so hard it nearly shattered.
    "IM SERIOUS ABOUT THIS!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'LL DO TO YOU IF YOUR CAUGHT!?! YOU KNOW WHAT THE SAND VILLAGE'LL DO! THE SOUND WILL TORTURE YOU TO INSANITY, THE LEAF VILLAGE- well, granted they arent as harsh as some of the other nations BUT ALL THE SAME YOU'LL PROBABLY BE KILLED! AND THE MIST!! WHERE YOU SUPPOSIVELY ORIGINATED FROM!"
    "Awh, come on. You know I dont affilliate myself with any village an-" He slammed hist fist on the bar in front of her.
    "DAMMIT KALLIE CANT YOU TAKE THINGS SERIOUSLY FOR ONCE!!!" She just stared up at him, taken aback. His facial features became more sullen and sorroful. "You... should probably head out now." He went back to the dishes and 'Kallie' took her bag and the ramen and started off, but just before she left she said,
    "I'll be back in a few months or so...."
    No response.
    "I wont die, I promise." she said as she dissapeared in a whisp of misty-smoke. Devonte just stood staring at the sink, the water still running.

    (Red Clouds in the Desert)
    -5 months later-
    -Somewhere in the Land of Wind's deserts-
    "Man, Im so friggin bored. Stuck in a cave, again. I hate these god damned sand storms."
    "You could just go through it, we both know you're quite capable of making it, right Rin-chan?" 'Kallie' stared down at her left palm to see a face on it. (without eyes) She stared at the demon parasite.
    "Nah, I ain't gonna risk it. Too much work anyway. And why do you always call me that? It's not a name I've ever used."
    "But its a name that suits you, with your cold way of killing people! Hehehe."
    "Shut it you f***ing parasite." She clenched her fist so her nails dug right into 'him'.
    "OWWW!!"
    *!*
    "Huh? What is it?"
    "Shhhh..." She cupped her hand and held it close so no one would hear. "Look." (f.y.i.-he can see what she sees when she lets him.) Out of the sandstorm came two people, one on a white bird flying low over the ground. (Which oddly looked like it was made out of clay!) Both wore black cloaks with red clouds and straw hats and were approaching the cave "Kallie" and the parasite were hiding in. She quickly grabbed her bag and hid behind a rock a bit deeper in the cave. They entered and one of them, the one on the brid took off their hat to reveal that it was a rather atractive blonde female. *ooo, she's hot aint she?* 'Kallie' chuckled to herself.
    *We shouldnt try anything yet, they seem to be pretty strong* thought the hand-parasite, relaying his words to 'Kallie's' mind. Ignoring him she thought,
    *Woah, are thoes mouths on her hands!*
    "I cant stand these godforsaken sand storms, yeah. Why cant we just go through them?" said the blondie.
    "I told you, thoes who dare venture into a sand storm get lost and are never found again." said the other. This one was much shorter and appeared to have a giant scorpion-like tail coming out of the back of his cloak. He kep his hat on and had a mask covering his mouth so she couldnt really see his face.
    "But you probably know your way around these parts better than any of us Sasori-san."
    "Even so, it's a risk we needn't take."
    "Well at least we have the jinchuuriki. Let's hope none of thoes sand ninja catch up to us, yeah."
    "...Deidara, can you sense that?"
    "Yeah... someone's over there. And by the feel of their chakras theyre pretty strong." And although they were speaking in whispers 'Kallie' could hear them clear as day.
    *You never were very good at hiding your chakra, Rin-chan*
    *Shut! it!*
    "Come out! We know you're over there!" called the girl.
    *Just great. I really need to learn to hide my chakra better* 'Kallie' pulled the hood of her cloak up, concealing her face and walked out slowly, one hand on her sword, which was now a katana instead of a giant broadsword and belted to her waist.
    "And the other one!" demanded Sasori. His tail moved into attacking position with a series of clacking sounds. She moved slightly into a defensive position, but she didnt know what he mean by 'other one'. "Now! Or I'll kill you!"
    "What other- Oh, you mean him!" She showed them her palm.
    "Yo."
    "He has his own chakra, you must have been confused."
    "What the-?!" The girl seemed perplexed by the talking mouth on her hand.
    "Who are you?" Growled Sasori. His tail creaked and shifted in a meanacing way, telling her she'd better answer 'or else'.
    *Use Alondra, they'll probably recognize it. If they can, they'll know you're too strong for them to take on*
    *Good idea.* "My name is Alondra, and yourselves?"
    "Sasori of the Red Sand. This is my partner, Deidara."
    "Well Sasori-san, for time being I would prefer it if you would refrain from attacking me since we're all here for the same reason and I've really no reason to fight either of you. Plus, I was here first."
    Sasori nodded. "Very well." They all sat down, having come to an agreement.
    "So, what brings you out here?" she asked.
    "Just on a mission."
    "Is that the Kazekage?" she said, peering over the bird to see a man with the kanji "love" tattooed into his forehead, wraped in its tail.
    "What's it to you!" said Deidara.
    "Just wondering. I ain't gonna tell anyone. 'sides, if I did, I'd be arrested as well."
    "Yes, he is. We are on a mission given to us by the leader of our orginization." said Sasori, calmly.
    "Ah. I just finished up a job too. Not part of an orginization, though. I work for myself."
    "So you are the Alondra I've heard the rumors of. The Demon slayer?" said Sasori.
    "Demon and demon slayer."
    "What's with the bandages on your face? You got scars or something, yeah?" Deidara chimed in.
    "What's with the funny cloaks and hats? You trying to make a fashion statement, "yeah". Deidara, is it?"
    "Yeah."
    "Ain't that a boy's name?"
    "Yeah, I am a boy."
    "Hehehe!" Sasori chuckled
    "What's so funny!"
    "She thought you were a girl."
    "WHAT!?! YOU- YOU THOUGHT I WAS A GIRL?"
    "You're not?"
    "NO!"
    "Woops. My bad!" she laughed
    "GRRR....WHY YOU LITTLE!!!"
    "Deidara, calm yourself."
    "Tch. Whatever." Deidara grumbled to himself.
    Sasori looked to the mouth of the cave. "Hm, the storm has already cleared. We should get moving. The Sand will be sending more ninja after us soon."
    "Right. Later kid, yeah!" He jumped on his giant clay bird (which still had the Kazekage wraped in it's tail) and exited the cave. Sasori got up to leave then stopped. He turned to her.
    "We shall meet again, Alondra-san. So remember this name... The Akatsuki" And he left. She watched them and saw as their images got distorted by heat waves, they soon just looked like red clouds in the desert.
