WELCOME TO THE FIRST INSTALMENT OF "THE DIAMOND OF SUNA" WHICH IS THE FINAL PART OF MY GAAHINA TRILOGY!!!!! We started with Gaara and Hinata...a leader of a village and an heiress to a clan. Despite the odds against them, they fell in love, and their love started a war with Kumogakure. We then proceeded to meet their son, Michiru, who had no idea they were his parents. We went on so, so many adventures with Michiru and the others, and met a darker evil then even Akatsuki. Soon, we were brought to where Michiru's little sister Aki was born, and soon lost when the labyrinth exploded. She was then found by a young man named Fuuhaizu...Now, twelve years later, our story continues. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!! I have so many interesting characters! of course the main heroin will be introduced right now in the first chapter, but the main hero won't come in for a while.......because he's just awesome like that. I'm so excited that I've finally started "THE DIAMOND OF SUNA" AKA TDOS. I was wiggling in my seat the whole time, and now I want to draw Aki and the rest of the gang!!!! I can't wait till we get this into full launch....SO LET'S GO!!! IKUSEI!!!!!! (SP?)

Peace...what is it's true definition? Can only one person bring peace? Or does it take a multitude of peoples to live in harmony with one another? In a world full of turmoil, can peace ever truly exist?

Only through foolish ideals is peace created. There is no such thing as TRUE peace. No matter what, humans will always be at conflict with one another. They are an imperfect species. There will always be arguments, and there will always be hatred.

But from within the burning hatred, who knows what will form?

Maybe death, maybe life, maybe hate, and maybe...

Love...

"Keep up everyone..." A Konoha shinobi grunted as he climbed up the side of a large cliff. It was mid-spring and all seemed peaceful in the Northern mountains. The grass swayed as the wind whispered carefully. The sakura trees were in full blossom and their petals gracefully fell to the earth where they were scattered about. The shinobi plus two younger ones scaled the large mountain, searching for the object of their mission.

"So what are we looking for exactly, sempai?" One of the younger shinobi asked, heaving himself onto the cliff with some difficulty. He didn't understand why they had to travel all the way to the Northern mountains, and then climb up them!

"On organization called "Tenkataihei"....

"Ten...Tenkataihei?" He frowned. "Are they with Kabuto?"

Twelve years ago, a shinobi named Kabuto had fled from his village, Otogakure, and had not been seen since. The ones that battled him and the rest of the shinobi world figured that he was forming a group against the ninja lands. No one had herd anything from him, not even his home village.

"No, they're against taoism and shinobi completely..." The older shinobi frowned slightly. "They want the world to operate without any type of jutsu or magic. They believe the only way peace can transpire

"Excuse me..."

They three shinobi looked around.

A young girl, no older twelve, stood before them. She was a very cute girl, with moonlight skin and long, thin legs. Her hair was short but at the sides two long strands fell beside her ears. It's shade was that of ripe grapes that were perfectly in season. Her large, glittering eyes looked like they had been forged from pale, pale emeralds as they glowed in the sunlight. She stared at the older men with her innocent gaze, batting her long lashes gracefully.

The younger man blushed. "What are you doing up here all alone, miss?"

"I got lost..." She whispered in her light, angelic voice. "I...I was trying to find the Tenkataihei to avenge my family..." She let out a miserable sniff. "And I got lost, and scared!"

"Don't worry, little girl...we'll take you back to Konoha with us," The man held out his hand and smiled at her. "Just follow onii-chan and you'll be safe, alright?"

"Oh yes! Thank you SO much!" The girl smiled and took his hand. She then smirked as her green eyes narrowed. "Onii-chan!" She squeezed his hand and, as if he were nothing but a bug, flipped him over with a slam.

"W-what the hell!?" Gasped the other two.

"You Onii-chan's are so nice!" The girl brushed her violet bangs from her eyes and smiled darkly. "And you call yourselves shinobi!"

"W-who are you!?" Grunted the shinboi she had flipped over, looking up at the girl.

"Heh!" She brushed her nose with her thumb and placed her hands on her hips. "A member of Tenkataihei!" She said brightly. "And I thought my first encounter with Konoha shinobi would be more interesting! You guys are freakin pathetic!"

"Tenkataihei is recruiting children now!?" The shinobi narrowed his eyes. "Why are you a part of them!? They have ridiculous ideals-"

"It's you people you have disgusting ideals," The girl said angrily. "You sickening murderers!" She shook her head and looked up at the tree above her. "You can come down from there now, Kishun."

The three shinobi looked up.

"You know me too well!" A young boy , around fourteen, leaped from the tree and landed beside the girl. He had short blond hair that fell into his bright gray eyes. He wore a teasing smirk as he landed lightly on his feet.

"You're only children!" You don't understand the complexity of the world!" The oldest shinobi said, backing up quickly.

"We understand it more then you idiots," Kishun said, narrowing his eyes as he straightened up onto his feet. "Oi, Aki...can I finish them off?"

The girl, Aki, smiled warmly at him. "Do as you wish, Kishun! I'm not your boss!" She turned on her heel and walked away.

"Happy day!" Kishun beamed and leaped at the shinobi.

Fifteen minutes later, Aki and Kishun were walking down the mountain path together, discussing their success.

"You didn't have to make such a mess out of it," Aki said, watching Kishun wipe the blood off his double blades. "If another shinobi comes by, it won't look like an accidental thing."

"I threw their bodies into the river," he said simply. "That was it will."

"Oh you're SO smart."

"I know."

They both laughed.

"Hey Aki..." Kishun glanced at the pretty girl and blushed lightly. "What do you think about all that's been happening lately? Like Suna, Konoha, Oto, and Kumo all joining forces, and that Kabuto guy forming his own gang?"

"Nothing like that's happened in twelve years..." She frowned at him. "I was still only a baby when all that happened, remember? Anyway, I think it's stupid. We're way more powerful then either of their little groups."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"Aki, where have you been!"

The two looked up to see a young man hurrying towards them. He had long, flowing red hair that was the same shade as a rose. His eyes were an ice blue that stood out against his darkened skin. He spoke with an odd accent and was very handsome and mature looking for his age.

Aki and Kishun hadn't even realized that they had arrived at the headquarters of their organization. Tenkataihei's HQ consisted of a number of caves that were placed about the mountains, all connected by tunnels. Even though they were only caves, they had become very homely and were surrounded bu the beauties of the mountain.

"Ah, Tou-san!" Aki hurried forward to greet, not her biological father, but the man that had raised her, Fuuhaizu.

"You guys were out for a long time, I was getting worried!" Fuuhaizu smiled as Aki leaped forward and hugged him. "I thought something bad had happened."

"With Aki being as scary as she is, what the hell COULD of happened?" Kishun asked light heartily, without malice. "And plus my awesome fighting skills, we're fine!"

"Brown noser," Aki sneered, sticking her tongue out at him.

"Cool off," Fuuhaizu flicked Aki's forehead. "I don't want you two to get into a fight." The three of them noticed that other Tenkataihei members had stopped to watch the conversation, their faces amused.

Aki blushed angrily.

"Everyone's watching because you lot are so loud!"

They spotted a woman in her mid twenties or early thirties approaching them. She had long hair that glowed like freshly fallen snow in the moonlight, and eyes the color of newest gold. She placed her hand on her wide hips and raised her eyebrows. "Can't you keep them under control, Fuuhaizu?"

"Kyoufuu-chan..." Fuuhaizu frowned at her. "They're only kids. They're going to be a little loud."

"Yeah, Kyoufuu-san," Aki said, smiling at her.

"Don't get flip with me, Aki!"

"Who's getting flip!?"

Fuuhaizu shook his head as they argued. After years of living around women, he'd gotten used to the fact that you don't want to mess with them when they're arguing.

"We got rid of some Konoha nins by the way," Kishun said, interrupting the argument. "Aki distracted them while I made my move."

"Very good," Fuuhaizu smiled at Aki. "You're getting more powerful by the day, it seems."

"Yeah!" She grinned. "Soon, we'll be able to take out all of the ninja...then we'll move onto Kabuto, and then we'll have peace."

Kishun stared at her, his gray eyes glowing with admiration. "You have high goals, Aki."

"Duh," She winked.

Later that night, Aki found herself walking along the tunnels of the HQ, her hands folded behind her back, her eyes closed. She hummed as she walked, tilting her head from side to side every now and again.

She was an orphan, and always had been. She didn't know who her real parents were, but she didn't want to know and she didn't really care. Fuuhaizu had raised her since she was a baby. When she had turned six, she had been trained in the way of weapons. She was taught the ideals of Tenkataihei. Shinobi were enemies. They were mindless machines that were used by other humans to commit murder. Taoists were enemies. They used forbidden magic that made no sense what so ever.

As she had grown up that way, she hated shinobi and Taoists all together. She cursed the shinobi villages and everyone that lived within them. She hated everything about them. Tenkataihei was the only thing she knew, and she loved it more then anything.

She loved the people within the organization, and would do anything for them. She stopped, her boots scuffing the ground and breaking the silence in the tunnel. Many times a day she wondered what lay beyond the mountains that she had grown up in...

Aki stood there for a moment, unable to tear her eyes from the ground below her feet. Just then, someone grabbed her shoulder. She squeaked in shock and whipped around, ready to attack-

"Kishun!" She paused right as she was about to grab the blond's neck.

"Evening, Aki," he said nervously, staring at her thin hands.

Kishun was two years older then Aki. He had, like her, grown up in Tenkataihei. He wasn't an orphan, though. He had parents who were members of the organization as well, though he didn't see them that much. He was the first one in Tenkataihei that she had befriended. He was her best friend in the whole world.

"Kishun, what is it?" She lowered her hands and stared at him. "You know better then to sneak up on me."

"Yeah, sorry about that..." He scratched the back of his neck. "I know you're on patrols and all, but I couldn't sleep so i thought maybe I could walk with you?"

"...." She smiled. "Sure!"

So the two of them continued down the hall, side by side. The silence stretched over them as they walked.

"I got to see my mom and dad today," He told her brightly. "Mom's pregnant again!"

"Really? That's great!" Aki smiled at him. "You'll have a new little sibling to grow strong for!"

"Do you think...that in your real family, whoever they are, you had an older brother or sister?" He asked quietly.

"Aaaah, who knows," Aki shrugged. "A lot of people here have been like older siblings to me...But the idea of having an actual older brother or sister is an interesting one..." She sighed and brushed her hair out of her eyes. "But really, if they're a shinobi I could care less about them."

"Hm...really?" He gave her an odd look.

She nodded. "It's like I've always said. I hate shinobi. It's as simple as that."

"Doesn't everyone in the organization?"

"I guess you have a point there."

They both laughed and continued down the tunnel together.

The sun shone brightly over Sunagakure. The village was bustling as usual. Standing atop one of the buildings watching the progress of the day was a young man, perhaps in his mid twenties. His spiky, blood shaded hair fell into his bright silver eyes and down his thin neck. He smiled as he watched the people was joyfully about the village. He could hardly believe that twelve years ago, his little sister Aki had died in the midst of a battle.

Everything seemed back to normal nowadays, although his mother had yet to get over it. Well...He wasn't over it either, of course, but he put the village before his own sadness. He was Michiru, son of the kazekage and captain of the Sunagakure ANBU forces.

Michriu sighed and brushed his bangs from his bright eyes. He turned and leaped down from the building, his hands in his pockets. He lande don his toes and walked off to find a friend of his.

He was walking for a while, occasionally stopping to say hello to the villagers, as well as sharing a light conversation with them here and there. Finally, he arrived at the hospital. He stared at it for a moment, before-

"Michiru!"

A woman about his age ran up to him. She had long golden hair that was pulled back into a ponytail that flowed behind her as she ran. Her eyes mocked the color of the sea and sparkled in the morning light.

"Hey, Hiraku," Michiru said warmly, smiling at his childhood friend, and girlfriend.

"Hey!" She grabbed his arm and smiled up at him. "I was wondering when you would stop by and say hello! I was getting so bored just sitting around all day doing nothing."

"Yeah, things seem pretty relaxed right now, don't they?"

She nodded. "But that's good, isn't it? Your dad's had a lot on his shoulders for a long time, right? A little bit of tranquility for a while will be good for him."

"Yeah, but who knows how long that'll last..." Michiru sighed and glanced at the kazekage building, his silver eyes narrowed. "Having more alliances helps, but I can tell that he's still thinking about Aki, and worrying about Okaasan."

"Mm..." Hiraku followed his gaze and frowned.

"But I can't let it bother me..." Michiru shrugged. "I have a lot of work to do. Reports are sweeping all over the land about a new break out of rebels...called the "Tenkataihei"...or something like that. Apparently they're killing shinobi left and right."

Hiraku narrowed her eyes. "Are they allied with Kabuto?"

"Not that I know of."

"Then what do they want?"

Michiru sighed and continued to stare at the Kazekage building.

"Who knows?"

"Aki."

She looked around and spotted Fuuhaizu. Aki had returned to her room and had been reading a book when her adoptive father had stepped into her room to speak with her. Kishun had returned to his own room as well.

"What is it, Tou-san?" She asked lightly, turning her eyes back to her book.

"Leader-sama wants a word with you..." Fuuhaizu looked worried as he spoke.

Aki looked up in surprise. "Leader-sama!?"

The leader was an older man. He had created the Tenkataihei because in the past, he had personally been hurt by the shinobi, as well as Kabuto. He was an extremely wise man who shared the ideals of everyone in the organization. Everyone looked up to him and wanted to be like him.

"What for...?" She asked, staring at Fuuhaizu with wide, green eyes.

"I wasn't told," Fuuhaizu said quietly, "But he wanted to see Kishun as well."

"Kishun?" Aki fowned. "...Okay." She got to her feet and stretched. Brushing her dark bangs from her bright eyes, she left the room with Fuuhaizu to go and speak with the Leader.

WHEEEEEEEEEEE THE FIRST CHAPTER OF TDOS!!!!!!! So we've learned what the Tenkataihei is, and what their purpose. And little Aki is a part of them! Kishun is so a main character of the story. He's really cute in the sketch I have of him. Michiru and Hiraku have already come in, though Gaara and Hinata have yet to. Hiraku's Michiru's girlfriend...lol. I know in POTBS a lot of people like Akume with Michiru better...well I hope you like the main shippings of this story. More main characters come in in the nect chapter and things start to take a turn for the worst. Wuh-oh. The question on everyone's mind is...Does Aki know she's the Jewel of Seiyru? We know that Fuuhaizu and Kyoufuu do, but does she, as well as Kishun know??? WHO KNOWS YOU WON'T KNOW UNTIL CHAPTER TWO LOL!!!! Although this is a story about war, peace, and family, this one has a lot of love in it as well. One of the main plots is around a certain romance, though not like "The Violet Rose" Anyway, I am so happy that I've finally gotten to start this! I have so many awesome ideas for this story....SO KEEP READING ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!
