Chapter 1 - Unexpected Turn
Aged five, Kaida Suzaku had not a care in the world. Her raven locks fell past her shoulders and her green eyes glittered as she watched her two younger brothers play together. She was wise for her age, understanding things far more than other children her age. So when she saw the elderly man walking up the path to her small house, she knew something wasn't right.
Her mother rushed out and ushered the three children inside, then standing outside to talk to the man. Kaida listened intently to the conversation, which left her mother in tears, before going to her room to think. For once she was confused by her mother's actions, surely her mother would not...? No, she loved her children more than anything.
Next morning the girl awoke in her mother's arms. Shaken awake the girl was confused as to what was happening, she pushed away from her mother, and crashed into someone. A stranger was holding two large bags, filled with all of Kaida's belongings. Looking around she shot a questioning glance at her mother, who looked away. The person was the old man from the day before, he took her hand and dragged her away. She kicked and screamed, cried for her mother, who said nothing and ignored her wails.
The sun was not even risen yet, and the darkness smothered her as she was dragged out, the man ignored her they left the small village and started on the long road north, a glimmer of gold touched the she was still in her bedclothes, Kaida asked the man if she could quickly change, he refused, pulling her along at an even faster rate. She started to resist, fighting back a little, and the man cuffed her so hard that she fell into the dust, tasting blood. Dizzy, she continued to struggle against him, he hit her again, and this time she stayed down. She opened her eyes slowly, she guessed it was somewhere near noon. She was slung over the man's shoulder, the only view she got was of the long empty road behind them. Readying herself, she elbowed the man in the back of the head, causing him to fall forwards and drop her. He dropped the bags too, and reached for the long samurai sword at his for her life, the child grabbed at anything she could find on the ground to protect herself. Grasping a rock, she threw it at the man, and struck in cleanly between the eyes. He fell backwards, unconscious, a letter fell out of his pocket. Cautiously she crept forward, and looked at the what she would have to do, she took the two bags, the sword and the letter, and ran up the long road until she reached a signpost.
"Konoha 1 Mile."
She headed desparatly towards the village and soon saw the gates rising up in front of her. The guards at the gate saw her dragging the large sacks behind her, they wanted to help, but waited for her to reach them fell to her knees out of exhaustion, and pushed the letter into the hand of the nearest guard. He read it, nodded, and carried her and all the stuff she had dragged, to the Hokage's office.
