"I sentence you to live in the world for your life!" the judge banged his hammer on the platform. "Court dismissed!"

"You - You can't do this! She's just a girl!" the woman said, who was sitting in a chair beside the judge.

Kit swallowed. The world? That was supposed to be even more dangerous than the one she lived in. The judge silenced the woman with a bang of his hammer. "Enough!"

"Let me take the punishment for her!" the woman cried.

"Take her away!" the judge yelled.

"No! Kitty!"

Kit's eyes snapped open. Another dream. What was even wierder was that she remembered the woman from somewhere. A small memory, hidden in the back of her head. She tried desperately to grab onto it, to snatch a piece of her past life back, but it danced away, just out of her reach. She glanced around the room, giving up on the dream for the time being. Darkness covered parts of the room, leaving the other in shadow, the only light coming from the thin window. She wondered briefly how she got there, then dismissed the thought. Kakashi or Tsunade probably brought her there. She stood up; swinging her legs over the side of the bed and rubbed her eyes.

Kit looked at the table beside her bed, and on it lay a black dress with silver outlining. She picked it up and examined it. Although it looked delicate, the material was strong, and Kit was convinced it would not break. She quickly changed into it. Actually, she normally hated dresses but this one was pretty. It was loose, allowing her to move around freely, but tight enough so it wouldn't fall off. There was even a pair of shorts to go underneath it. Kit smiled. `A perfect fit.' She twirled around, examining herself in the mirror, and smiled. Just then there was a knock at the door, causing her to whirl around.

"It's me." Sakura's voice came floating it.

`Come in.'

The door opened and Sakura stepped in. She smiled at Kit and handed her two pouches. `What are these?' Sakura smiled. "This one," she said, opening the smaller one, "is your shuriken pouch. This one is your kunai pouch."

She showed Kit where to put them and adjusted them properly to fit Kit's arm length, as the older girl was taller than she was. Finally Sakura smiled up at Kit. "It's done. Practice is starting so you better follow me." Sakura dragged Kit out the door, giving the taller girl no room to protest.

Sasuke and Naruto were already there when Sakura and Kit arrived. As usual, Kakashi was late, and the group of four was forced to wait for him. Kit saw that Sakura kept throwing glances over at Sasuke, and Naruto kept shooting looks at Sakura. Kit smiled in spite of herself. `What an interesting group.' All three turned towards her.

"Interesting?" Sasuke asked, raising an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked.

Kit sweatdropped. Apparently she had no control over them hearing her thoughts. `Er - Don't worry about it..' Kakashi jumped down then, and Kit sighed. He couldn't have come at a better time.

"Sorry, guys, I got lost on the road of life while I was searching for you." Kakashi said smoothly.

A vein popped out in Sakura's head, as well as Naruto's. "Liar!"

Sasuke just stood there shaking his head slightly. Kakashi smiled underneath the piece of black cloth covering his face. "Right. Should we start?"

*****

Kit collapsed in front of a tree, breathing and sweating heavily, as was Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto. The end of the day was nearing, as the sun just peeked over the dark horizon, and the sky was lit up with reds and oranges. Kakashi dropped to the ground in front of them. "Well, shall we call this a day?"

`Yes.' Kit thought, her breathing slowly regulating.

"Right then, everyone is dismissed, you may go home."

Sakura, Sasuke, Naruto, and Kit walked off, Sakura grabbing Sasuke's arm. "How about a date tomorrow, Sasuke-kun?"

"No." Sasuke replied, almost automatically.

Sakura drooped, and Naruto came up behind her. "How `bout a fate with me, Sakura-chan?"

"With you? Are you insane?" Sakura asked.

Kit laughed, a silent laugh that echoed inside her head. This group was so funny, she couldn't help but laugh. The four ninjas headed towards their respective homes, Kit not noticing Kakashi staring after her. `She has a high amount of chakra, one that might even match the level of the Kyuubi. But it seems conflicted, almost as if her chakra is good and evil clashing together.' With a shrug, he jumped off and headed home to think about it some more.

Two figures stood in front of a desk, their faces hidden by the flat hats they wore, their black and red cloaks blending in with the darkness. A voice came from the desk in front of them.

"I want you to go find this girl. She can help us gain power, and she may be useful in capturing the Kyuubi, as well." the voice said.

The two men nodded. "But watch out. You need to knock her unconscious before you take her, or she may kill you without realizing it. You need to take her before she learns to control her chakra, or she will be undefeatable." the voice continued. "Do not fail this, or you will get yourselves both killed."

The two figures nodded again and jumped off down the passage of the hallways, to their mission. To capture and control Takani Kit. The man at the desk smiled. Soon he would have her. Then he would be able to take over Konoha.. Soon.. So soon…
