Betrayed...

A tear rolled down her flawless face. Her body shuddered as she let out a sob, unable to control the overwhelming surge of emotions.
She stood up shakily, obviously she still hadn't gained complete control over her emotions. She felt broken and out of control, these were things that she had never felt ever since she had accepted ninja hood. She tightened her grip on her katana, constantly telling herself that dwelling on her thoughts wouldn't do her any good.
She walked along the path that faded away into the forest. She kept walking until she reached a clearing, it was a beautiful environment. There were flowers in full bloom, birds chirping, completely synchronized with each other. But the air still smelt of danger. It was the kind of feeling a prey experiences when being stalked by a predator. She knew she would be hunted as soon as they realized that she was still alive, but she was surprised, at how fast they'd found her deception. She snapped back to reality when she heard the sound of unnatural rustling of the leaves as if someone was watching her through the leaves, she was sure about it, after all she had been trained in all of this for so long. She turned around with lighting agility and brought up her katana guided purely by her raw instincts, she felt a powerful blow on her katana, it was clear that the person who had delivered it had only one aim : to kill. The identity of the ninja was very well concealed by the ninja's hood. She strafed to the right when the ninja delivered a blow that would have surely decapitated her if she hadn't moved. The ninja was quick and very agile but also considerably strong. She blocked another incoming attack and punched the other ninja in the stomach. The ninja staggered very little and sent an uppercut straight into her jaw. She fell backwards and tasted blood in her mouth. The ninja charged again, running as fast as the wind, for just moment she saw into the ninja's eyes, for some uncertain reason the eyes seemed familiar. She saw right through, into the underlying emotions, it was wild mess, eventhough the ninja showed no traces of remorse or hesitation, she saw somewhere inside there was still a bit of humanity, fighting the dark clutches of the unknown, the other ninja was completely torn because of the rift inside.
She rolled to the side as the other ninja was about cut her into half, she managed to dodge with a cut on her shoulder.she cursed under her breathe and got into a defensive stance, breathing slowly and studying her opponent who was now standing with the muscles tensed, the other ninja was going to attack she noted. And her assumptions were right but she had time to celebrate as the other ninja charged with new vigour. She stood still, watching, and slowly exhaled. She drew her katana and made swift attack on the other ninja's arm, this attack was quickly deflected and the ninja tried to jab her stomach with the elbow. She smiled as she realized that the other ninja had fallen for the fake. She easily blocked the jab and followed by twisting the other ninja's katana arm, disarming the ninja. Then she kicked the ninja and threw the ninjas katana away. The ninja tried to crawl away but was quickly brought to a stop by a the tip of the katana under the ninjas neck. "Take off your hood", she ordered,"Take it off!", she repeated. The ninja complied with her and slowly took off her hood.
She let out a sharp breathe when she saw who the ninja was, she understood why the eyes had been so familiar. They were the same eyes that had seen the cruelest of acts and had still remained innocent. They were the same eyes that had shed tears every night. They were the same eyes that she had loved looking into. They were the same eyes who had betrayed her. They were the eyes of her sister.
