walking to the apartment from Shino's house i felt a pair of eyes on me, yet i couldn't sense any chakra; so whoever it was, was either really powerful and good at hiding it, or not powerful at all. I'm hoping it's the latter. I went through a dark alley ,that ended in a dead end,and and turned around.

"come out, come out, wherever you are!" I sand, glaring into the dark. it was silent for a few seconds. i tapped my foot.

"Listen, I don't have all day, so what do you want?" I asked loudly, obviously annoyed. the sun was going down and i would start glowing soon, seeming how its the full moon, and during every full moon I'm supposed to glow. its another 'wonderful thing your gift comes with' as Orochimaru Sensei puts it. someone stepped out of the darkness and said in a deep, albeit childish voice.

"Relax, I just want to talk. couldn't we go somewhere less vulgar? an alley way is no place to take a lady on a first date." the voice said. as i got a closer look i realized it was the male sannin from earlier. I inwardly groaned. another fanboy. but i guess he wasn't quite a fan boy, after all he seemed a bit old. I sighed.

"oh really? and what did you have in mind?" I asked. he grinned.

"well, you did say you wanted to go to the bar, didn't you?" I smirked. ya, this guy was classy.

we sat down at a table in the bar, he ordered two bottles of warm Sake and i stared at him darkly the whole time. once the waitress left he gave me a strange look.

"what?"

"listen, I'll take  a free drink any day, but I'm serious, what do you want?" I asked. he frowned, expecting me seriously before saying

"My name is Jiraiya, the famous Toad Sage" my jaw dropped to the floor. he was the one that wrote all of my favorite books? instantly i was in his face with all my copies of itcha itcha paradise in his face

"Omagoodness its such an honor to meet you! please sign my copies of your books!" I gushed, instantly less angered at this guys presence. he sweat dropped and i got out of his face, blushing slightly.

"Oh... I'm sorry." I said quietly. he startled me by laughing.

"no, no. Its a pleasure to meet a fan!" He said. i felt his ego rise and inwardly groaned. maybe that wasn't such a good idea.... he signed all my books while i carefully hid the stars in my eyes as i stared at them. He looked at me calmly once we had both calmed down and the waitress came with our drinks. I downed mine instantly, so quickly it was as if the cup was always empty and turned to the now retreating waitress

"Umm... miss? why did you bring me an empty glass?" she looked at the glass shocked and then bowed to me

"gomenesai! I will bring you a full one on the house!" she said in a flustered voice. i nodded my thanks and she ran away with my glass. Jiraiya gave me a strange look.

"you know... i would've gotten you another" He said. i smiled

"yes but now instead i get two for free!" he nodded and the waitress gave me a glass of warm Sake again. i smiled and looked at Jiraiya. he cleared his throat.

"who are you really?" He asked. i gave him a strange look

"I am Liiran, Siren of the sands. eighteen years young, same as the Kazekage, and most of the leaf genin. New ranked Jonin. personal guard to the Kazekage of Suna. once none as Liiran no Zabuza, and Suki no Takema. personal relatives; none. close friends..." I paused "that's classified. shouldn't you know this  alreadt? I'm assuming you read my file before i appeared here, Sannin." He gave me a dubious look.

"I don't want the impersonal facts. i want the real deal, and there is no way your a siren, those clans are extinct" i frowned at him

"Listen buddy, I know who I am, and i don't need you to tell me-"

"whats that tattoo on your arm?" he asked, grabbing my arm. i ripped it from his grasp and growled. it was to close to nightfall, i could feel the light already leaking from my eyes. i glared at his shocked face

"Impossible..." I heard him murmur. i frowned and quickly fled from the bar, heading into the forest, where i could transform away from the eyes of everyone else. once i passed the tree line i ripped through the tree's frantically. if i could get to the designated meeting point for Orochimaru he could help me! my skin was on fire, the world around me turned red. i found the tree and hit the seal encrypted into its bark. there was a flash of red and suddenly i was transported into a dark room, one that i had been in thousands of times before. i fell to my knee's

"SENSEI!" I screamed as the fire in my skin increased. i heard some yelling then footsteps  and someone said

"Liiran! what happened to you?" I looked up, trying to make out the red blurs around me.

"Is this... supposed to happen?" I rasped.

"Kabuto!" he yelled, ignoring my question. i heard more footsteps and then something cold was placed onto my head.

"Liiran can you hear me?" i heard a familiar voice ask

"Kabuto san?" I tried to ask, but it came out as a whisper.

"she's going through two stages at once!" Kabuto said.

"Is that even possible?" Orochimaru asked, but Kabuto's answer was cut off when i screamed at the top of my lungs, as a result of the fire in me.

"Hot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"she's burning up!"

"get some cold water!

"Liiran hold on!"

people all around me were yelling, there was a slight cool down on my neck, but the fire just came back. i felt a rip and knew my wings were out, but before i could restrain them, I closed my eyes and blacked out.
