Twice Upon Love

Chapter One

Mission and Knowing

I've come to notice that most people freeze at the very sight of the pale man, but not my sister and me. Actually as this snake approached us I started to chuckle at him. I could see it in his eyes; he really thought that we would be scared of him. Ha! Not in a million years! That would never happen, he may be a Sannin, but that doesn't mean everyone has to be afraid, or respect, him; I know that none of my squad would ever fear this snake.

My eyes darted from the man to my sister and back again, a smirk played on my pale features, a plot formulating itself in the depth of my mind. I saw the slight movement of my twin's finger before a tree branch smacked the pale man in the face. After he slid several feet he stopped.

"Aw, what's the matter Orochimaru? Old age catching up to you?" I taunted the older, much older, male.

Orochimaru's response was just a grimace. My smirk grew as I felt the vibe of annoyance tumbling off the male. I glanced once again towards my sister. Just slightly, barely noticeable, a nod giving me the signal, half a second and I hit the ground ice ragging towards Orochimaru while tree roots held him in place. Ice spears penetrated the skin, but soon mud crumbled to the ground.

"An Earth clone," I said, "dang and I wanted to kill him this time."

A pout played upon my features as the ice melted away.

"Stop pouting will you, it's annoying," Hiroko, the final member of our squad, scolded.

"Fine." A heavy sigh pushed past my ruby lips.

Hiroko just turned and headed back to the makeshift camp, his black trench coat swishing side to side, the black boots trudging across dried leaves. The crunch of the leaves was the only sound admitted from those heavy boots though many would think they would make more. His pitch black hair flowed long with green strains weaving through the darker ones. Tight black jeans clung to his muscular legs and a black shirt clung to his sculptured chest. The Penetrating blue eyes struck fear in any opponent that dared to cross the powerful ninja. Chains hung from various places, each attached to a weapon that, in the right hands, would be deadly.

My sister, Akako, fallowed directly behind him. The black gothic boots crunched leaves bellow, the tight dark jeans clung to her skin and met with the top of the boots before ending on the inside of the boots. She wore a dark purple shirt that had long sleeves that resembled those of kimonos; a black corset was worn over the shirt defining her curves in exactly the right places. Her hair was as black as midnight with fiery strains interweaving, it was about shoulder length framing the pale feathers of her face.

Akako was my twin, but I look very different then her. I wore black spandex shorts that reached mid-thigh, a black and red stripped tang-top, a kimono that was black lined with crimson with a crimson obi to. The kimono is open to reveal the skin tight tang-top that hugged to my curves perfectly, on the back of the kimono is embroidered, in crimson, with our clan symbol, a skull with two samurai swords the kanji love and hate are o each hilt of the swords, and gothic boots clothed my feet. My hair originally white with black strains, but stained permanently red strains from blood of those I've slaughtered. My sister's eyes are flaming emerald green while mine are swirls of blue and black when my kekkei genkai was activated otherwise they were purple. She controls Earth while I control ice. We're opposites in our personalities too. I'm normally hyper, but when it comes to fighting I'm cold and cautious. My sister, on the other hand, is serious all the time and very distant from people that don't know her.

~time skip to end of mission, back at the leaf village~

"What?!? It's already time for the Chunnin Exams!?!" I shouted, "Wow, time flies."

"Come on Yuuki, it's not that long ago when we graduated," Hiroko stated.

"Oh, right," I chuckled at my forgetfulness.

"You three will have to participate in the Chunnin Exams, elders orders," the third Hokage said.

"Fine, but this will be boring as hell," I replied.

"You never know there might be some tough people." Akako tried to encourage the idea of a Chunnin Exams.

"Sure," Hiroko agreed."

"Boring," I stated.

"Can't you be positive for once in your life," Hiroko asked.

"Nope, that's Akako's job."

"So Akako, have you seen Sasuke lately?" I asked teasingly.

"Maybe," she answered as her face turned crimson.

"We all know you like him, you don't have to hid it just don't be like Sakura."

"Yeah, I know, but he doesn't know I exist."

Akako was depressed by this thought.

"Then do tell, my dear sister, why is said person hiding in a bush listening in?"

"What?!?"

"Really! He's in that bush right there." I pointed at the bush closest to us/

"Are you serious? I think you're bluffing." Akako glared at me.

"Sasuke, come out here before my sister kills me," I said to the bush.

Leaves rustled as a certain person crawled out of the bush.

"See, I told you he was spying on us," I stated like a child as I pointed at Sasuke.

"Hi Sasuke," Akako said, blushing a shade of crimson while she shyly waved at the Uchiha by.

I rolled my eyes at my sister, her shyness was going to get very annoying and soon.

"I'll just be going then, so you two can be alone," I said starting to walk past my twin, "tell me about it later," I whispered into her ear.

She blushed an even dark shade of red.

I walked down the street, glancing around at the other shinobi from other villages. As I looked around I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going and I bumped into someone, or really I ran into someone and I was thrown to the ground. Ice cushioned m fall, but when I looked up to apologize to the person what I saw shocked me; sand was moved liked a shield around the person.

"Gomen nii, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going," I finally said.

I rose to my feet and looked at the boy. My purple eyes meeting sea foam green ones. He was only a few inches taller than me with messy, fiery red hair. His eyes were lined with black; my guess would have to be from lack of sleep.

"Gomen nii," I apologized again hoping for a response.

The boy only stared at me, his eyes never breaking contact from mine. That was a first, no one ever dared to stare into my eyes because of fear of my kekkei genkai. I don't know why, but when this boy stared into my eyes it made me flush with color, it made my heart start to beat rapidly.

"You have some guts kid, to stare at Gaara that long after you ran into him," the older, cat/bat looking male, which was standing next to the redhead, said.

'So his name's Gaara, huh,' I thought.

"You three are from the hidden sand village, which means that you are here for the Chunnin Exams," I stated.

"So there are people that actually know about them," the older male gasped.

"Duh! Wait you bet Naruto when you first got here didn't you? That would explain a lot."

"You're a shinobi here right?" the redhead asked.

"Yep," I answered.

"Then where is your headband," the blonde girl asked.

"Right here," I said lifting my left wrist up to them.

I had made my headband into a bracelet basically, so it would be out of the way. This also came into good use when blinding people with the reflection of the metal.

"What's your name," the one I thought was Gaara asked.

"It's polite to state your own name before asking for someone else's," I stubbornly stated, crossing my arms over my chest I turned 90 degrees away from the three.

"Gaara of the desert," he said.

"Yuuki, Master of Ice," I stated happily, a close eye smile was pasted on my features.

"Is that self proclaimed?" the older boy asked.

I glared at him and ice started to surround his feet.

"You tell me if it's self proclaimed." My tone was a dangerous low.

"It's not," he claimed.

Panic reflected in his eyes, but when the ice retracted he calmed down.

"So who are you two," I asked the older two.

"Kankaro," the bat/cat looking one said.

"Tamari," the girl answered.

"Nice to meet you." I was back to my hyper self.
