Ch.13: Blood

"Ahhh, another glorious day." Emiko grinned as she walked along the market streets. Today particularly felt like it was going to be a good day. She had no missions; Kakashi had left for an ANBU mission right after she had beaten the crap out of him the other day.

Since groceries were running out, she thought that she should get new ones and make Kakashi his favorite dinner whenever he came back. "Get your fish here! Fresh fish picked right up from Kirigakure!"

"Blagh," Emiko gagged, "I hate fish!" She immediately went to the next stall where she spotted the other vendor selling meat and felt her stomach rumble. I'm hungry...

"Get out of here, you demon!!"

Emiko paused when she heard a commotion up ahead. Walking through a bit of the crowd she found a man holding a knife in his hand trying to shoo away a small young child that must be no older than Sasuke with bright blonde hair, and the most bluest of the blue eyes she had seen.

"You're just a filthy demon boy! Why don't you just go die? I won't give you any food even if you have money!!"

Before the man could even swing his knife again, Emiko intercepted and flashed right in front of the child, and caught the man's hand. His eyes widened before he took a step back.

"How dare you," she hissed, "How dare you try to attack an innocent boy? What did he do to you?"

The man narrowed his eyes, "He has that filthy fox! He's nothing but trouble, and he'll destroy this village one day! Bloody jinchūriki." He spat.

Emiko immediately twisted the man's hand and pushed him against the ground causing him to shriek in pain, "And how about the fact that he saved your life by having that beast inside of him??" she growled, "How about the fact that your setting a bad example to adults? How about the fact that I can literally tear you apart limb from limb right now..." she whispered harshly before glaring at the crowd that was forming. "What if it was YOUR kid huh?!" she screamed before standing up, "WOULD YOU HIT HIM OR HER TOO?!!"

She bent down and picked up the small boy, carrying him in her arm, "If I EVER see anyone of you harming this child again, you will not only have me to go up against, but as well as the Hokage and his ANBU. You got that? Rotten idiots, all of you should be ashamed of yourself." She yelled at the people causing them to step back in fear. "Come on," she whispered to the boy, "Let's get you out of here..."

Before she left, she paused in her tracks and turned to look at the people once again, "You should have ALL died by the hands of that fox. At least none of you leeches would be infesting this village." She harshly retorted.

The people watched her go with widened eyes. This was the first time anyone had ever yelled at them so much. The man on the ground looked at them with a frown and realized that no one had come to help him out when he was getting beaten.

Emiko quietly sat down on the benches holding the boy in her lap. His hands were covering his face, avoiding any eye contact with her. "Are you okay?" she whispered wiping away the dirt that were on his clothes, "Hey I won't hurt you." She tried to paw of his hands away from his face, but the boy merely turned away.

She saw a hint of a smile on the boy's lips and grinned, "You like to play dirty huh?" she tickled his stomach causing him to laugh loudly, "You love playing hide and seek? I'm good at that game as well!"

He blinked his eyes open revealing his blue gems. Those eyes... she thought Only one person I knew in the entire village had these distinctive eyes. "How old are you little boy?"
