Flashback: Hikari: age 5
"Daddy! Mommy! Look what I made!" Hikari beamed, holding up a card that she had spent hours on.
"That's nice Kari-chan," Her mother said, not even taking the time to look at Hikari. She was too busy taking care of Aoi, her little brother.
"Lovely Hikari," Her father said, also not looking. He was paying the bills. Hikari tilted her head to the side and placed her card next to her father and walked out.
"I'm going to the academy!" she shouted happily.
"Love you too sweetie," Her mother replied tiredly. Hikari frowned and began to walk toward the ninja academy.
'I wish they would pay at least one moment of attention toward me instead of my stupid three-year-old brother,' She thought bitterly.
Two hours later:
"-chakra is also the basic's of jutsu. It fuels all of you jutsus. If you use it up, it could be fatal," Sakura-sensei said. Hikari and the rest of the class was taking notes when a man with black hair walked in the room.
"Sakura," the man said, "I need to speak with you. Now."
"Alright Sasuke-kun. Excuse me everyone. I'll be back in a moment," Hikari watched as her Sensei walked out with the man. The man, called 'Sasuke-kun', said something and her Sensei's hands covered her mouth. Her head whipped back in the classroom. Hikari saw her looking at her, so she smiled and waved. Hikari saw her take a breath and the man hugged her once, before she walked back in.
"Hikari-chan, please could we speak to you for a moment?" Sakura-sensei asked, her voice wavering. Hikari tilted her head for a moment, and nodded. She jumped of her chair, ignoring the 'Ooohhh you're gonna get it' from Saito, and walked out with Sakura-sensei.
"Hikari-chan, this is Uchiha Sasuke-kun, and I'm afraid we have bad news for you," Sakura-sensei said. A tear rolled out of her eye, and Sasuke placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Hikari," Sasuke said firmly, "Your brother, Aoi, is dead." Sakura-sensei bit her lip.
Hikari stared up into the black eyes into the man in front of her. 'dead?'
"Well... Uchiha-san... When is he going to be back from being dead," she asked, blue eyes wide with wonder. "My mommy is going to worry if he isn't back soon..."
Sakura stared at Hikari wide-eyed. Sasuke looked away from the child.
"Sweetie..." Sakura began, "Aoi isn't coming back, being dead means your gone forever..."
Hikari's eyes widened. Surely they couldn't mean the dead that her grandparents were! Could they?
"As in he's going to be gone forever? Buried in the ground with all the rocks with writing on them?" she asked, tears flooding to her eyes.
"Yes?" Sasuke said, bangs covering his face. "Hn. I'm sorry for you loss."
Hikari stared at Sakura and Sasuke for a moment. This can't be true! It just couldn't be! He was fine when she left this morning.
"No! Sakura-sensei and Uchiwa-san are lying! I'll prove it to you!" she spun on her heel and ran through the doors, away from the two teachers, who were shocked.
"Let her go, Sakura," Sasuke said, patting his wife's shoulder.
"Yes, Sasuke-kun," Sakura said.
Hikari pushed herself up her steps of her house and barged the door open. She ran up the stairs and turned the corner to Aoi's nursery.
Her eyes widened when she saw the blood.
He mother was in the corner sobbing, her father comforting her.
"Mommy! Daddy! What's going on?" she cried. Her father shot a glare at her. She cringed.
"Aoi got into your room and stabbed himself with one of YOUR kunai's. It's YOUR fault!" the father roared.
"Satoshi!" the mother yelled, as Hikari's eyes filled with tears.
'My kunai... My brother... My fault...' She thought, before her world sunk into blackness
Flashback: Natsume: Age 6
"Grandma! I'm going to the academy now!" Natsume called. He hopped down the stairs, waving to the old woman who was cooking breakfast.
"Aye, Natusme. Study hard!" the grandmother said. Natsume smiled and he bounded to the door, stepping over one of his video game controlers, then paused to stare at the picture of his parents.
They had left when he was about 2 because of a mission. They're still there. They write, but Natsume felt that it wasn't the same.
He was angry that they just abandoned him like the, dropping him off with his old grandmother. Not that he didn't love her, he just wanted to be normal like everyone else.
He shook his head and ran out the door, plastering a fake grin on his face, and ran to the academy.
'Just like always,' he thought, 'Stuck in my own anger and pain, and covering it with a smile.'
Flashback: Satouske: Age 5
"Listen carefully, Satou-kun," a boy, around sixteen, said. Satouske blocked him out, daydreaming of be coming a full-fledged ninja early, and saving the whole village. " Satou-kun, wanna try?" his brother said, smiling and holding a a kunai.
"Sure! Thanks Onii-san!" Satouske said. Satouske took the kunai, brought it back and threw it, sort of clumsily, at the target.
The target was cloth with a bulls eye in the middle. Around it there was a thick metal rim.
The kunai slammed into the metal and it flew backward.
The next thing Satsouske knew was the loud cry from his brother.
"Onii-san!" Satouske ran toward his brother, realizing the kunai bounced off the rim, and into his brothers thigh.
"Satou-kun... It's not your fault!" Satouske's eyes widened and he began to scream when his brother pulled out the kunai, and blood spurted everywhere.
Three hours later, a blonde doctor came out, sighing. Satouske's mother and father shook there heads, and they called him over.
"Satouske," the blonde doctor said. "Your brother severed a muscle with the kunai. He may not be able to walk again."
Satouske's eyes widened. 'What? Onii-san?' he burst past the doctor and into his brothers room.
"ONII-SAN!" he screamed. His brother stared at him.
"... Satou-kun! How're you-" Satouske stared at his brothers mangled leg. His brother smiled. "Don't worry about it! Wasn't your fault!"
Satouske stared. If he had payed attention, hebwouldnt have missed, and... Satouske ran out of the room and the hospital, tears streaming out of his eyes.
Present: Hikari: Age 13
I moaned as the sunlight shown in my room. I flipped over and rolled out of bed. I instantly got into the bathroom and pulled my hair into a ponytail. And then I got dressed, gray ninja shirt with netting under it, and black ninja pants. Easy.
I walked out, and grabbed my new headband and tied it around my forehead.
"Goodbye, mother," I said, coldly.
"Bye Kari-chan!" Hikari's mom
Smiled, almost sadly, at her child.
"Bye father." her fathe didn't even acknowledge her existence.
"I love you honey!"
The door slammed before she said love.
Present: Natsume: age 13
Natsume stretched and yawned. He quickly rolled out of bed... And promptly fell back asleep.
About ten minutes later he jumped upwards and ran to the bathroom, tugging on a clean pair of pants and a sort-of clean shirt.
His grandmother sweat dropped when she saw him fly out the door, and only to have him come back in to get his headband, and when his blue hair got caught on the door.
And as soon as he left, that fake grin was plastered on his face.
Present: Satouske: Age 14
Satouske woke up at exactly 6:00 am, showered, dressed in black shorts white shirt, and left the house, saying goodbye to his mother, father, and his brother.
His headband was in his pocket as he slowly walked toward the academy, his dark brown eyes as cold as steel.
