Me: Bonjour my lovely fans! How have you guys been? So recently I have been requested to write a Sasuke x OC story for Hikari'sLight. So I decided that I think it'll be really fun! But since it's only fair I will update Hidden In The Eyes first but this story will be updated right after! ...Hopefully. Anyways I really hope that you Hikari'sLight enjoy your story and I hope that anyone else who decides to read it also enjoys it!
Oh I'm only going to do the prologue first then the first chapter shall come out once I update Hidden In The Eyes Chapter 19 =)
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, and I never ever will. Got it? Good.
Prologue
Fire. I used to think it was a comforting, warm, pleasant thing. Living in the snow village it wasn't unnatural for me to love something so warm since I was always being subjected to the cold winds and harsh storms that occasionally came through. But when I was 8 years old everything changed. Fire wasn't comforting, it became something deadly.
|Flashback|
"Goodnight princess" My father said kissing my forehead with my usual goodnight kiss. "Goodnight daddy" I whispered back reaching up to give him a hug. "Sleep well my darling" My mother whispered to me also giving me a hug and kiss. I smiled "Night Momma, can you please tell me one more story?" I pleaded with her giving her my puppy dog face.
She smiled and laughed "I already told you so many tonight, if I tell you anymore we won't have any for the future" she said wisely. I pouted a bit but nodded my head anyways "Okay momma, but you have to promise" I said holding out my pinky. My father laughed amusement evident in his dark brown eyes. Momma smiled and linked her pinky with mine "I promise, now time for bed darling we'll see you in the morning". I nodded my head and yawned sleepily. Even before my head hit the pillow I was already asleep.
End of Flashback|
I remember waking up to my mother's soft and welcoming voice. Father had already left to a clan meeting, with him being the leader it was expected. But he always managed to find a way to spend some time with me. I can remember that day perfectly. Right from dawn till dusk. Every tragic moment cutting deeper holes each time I think about them. Even today it hurt to think about it, but I never showed it. I didn't want to be thought of as weak. Ever since that day I vowed I would never be so weak that I couldn't protect the one's I loved.
|Flashback|
Once I woke up my mother dressed me into my blue kimono and she weaved my favourite blue ribbons that my father got me into my short black hair. She smiled and ruffled my bangs making me whine and pout since they got into my eyes. "Momma!" I whined. She chuckled "Sorry darling but you look absolutely beautiful today" she replied. My eight year old self blushed and I gave her a hug burying my head into her leg. "Thank you momma! I love you!" I said against her leg. She patted my back and lifted me up so she was carrying me. "I love you too honey, forever and always." She then proceeded to carry me to the kitchen so we could begin our day.
- Fast Forward -
Today was the weekend so I had spent the whole day with my mother. We tended to our greenhouse, went shopping and we even visited father for a bit. We brought him his favourite lunch, mom's home made sushi and rice. Then we went home and spent the rest of our day at home enjoying one an others company.
Soon enough dusk hit and my father finally came home. He looked so tired but once he saw me he smiled a happy grin and held his arms out. I instantly ran from the couch and jumped into his arms giving him the biggest hug I could. "Welcome home daddy!" I shouted giving a small giggle at the end. My father chuckled "Glad to be home princess" was what he replied.
He put me down and went over to my mother to give her a hug and a kiss as well. But he kissed her on the lips, which was nasty to my eight year old mind. "Ewww momma now you have boy germs!" I exclaimed looking horrified. The girls at the academy were always telling me about boys and their deadly germs.
My father and mother shared a look before bursting out laughing. I remember momma telling me about the cootie shot. "Oh honey but mommy already got her cootie shot. Want me to show you?" she asked bending down to my height.
I remembered my eyes widening in fascination and nodding my head vigorously. My mother smiled "Alright hold out your arm darling" I did as was told. My mother held my wrist lightly and moved her pointer finger to the top of my arm. "Now watch and listen carefully."
"Circle, circle dot, dot, now you got the cootie shot!" she said seriously, as she said the words she drew on my arm the shapes she was saying. I grinned "That's so cool! Can I do it momma!?" I asked excitedly. She smiled and held out her arm. I grasped it in my tiny hand and copied her exact movements.
"Circle... circle... dot... dot? … oh yeah! Now you got the cootie shot!" I said struggling to remember the words she spoke. My mother hugged me "Thanks so much honey! Now why don't you and daddy go get cleaned up for dinner?" she asked as she stood back up and walked to the kitchen.
I nodded and took my father's hand and towed him towards my room.
- Fast Forward -
Once we ate dinner, I watched a movie with my family before it was time for me to go to bed. We did the usual routine, me getting tucked in before I got to hear another story.
"...Once I gave him the scroll I was all ready to leave but one look in your father's eyes and I knew he was definitely the one for me. But of course your father here took a while to figure that out..." she said giving him a playful smack and I giggled. My father smiled "Hey at least I said I love you first!" he had said giving her a grin that she couldn't resist.
My mother smiled and kissed him. "That you did honey, that you did"
After that the night was hazy but I do remember the gist of it.
After my mother and father closed the door the screaming started.
The fire was visible from my room window. My mother burst in the room covered in blood she ran to me and scooped me up before smashing through the window and heading to our greenhouse.
Inside she frantically searched for something along the plants. All the while I was screaming at her to tell me what happened and where daddy was.
I was scared. And weak... so very weak.
Once she pushed a button and the floor opened up and a secret hatch was revealed. We ran inside with the door shutting behind us.
I thought we were safe hidden in the ground.
One ninja managed to find a way in.
I was well hidden in one of the closet that looked like a wall. But funny thing was I could see everything and no one could see me.
I watched my mother fight hard and I was overjoyed when I saw my father come.
But it wasn't enough.
I remember thinking that it was going to be okay my parents were amazing ninja and they could do anything! But I was mistaken.
I would've been right if it hadn't been for the extra five ninja that came to our hiding spot to help their colleague.
That night I had to watch both my parents get slaughtered. Right before my innocent 8 year old eyes.
It's ironic how fast your life can change. One second it's perfect right down to the last detail the next your the last of your clan.
The screaming was from my village massacre. I swore from that day on I would become stronger and I would never let the one's I cared about be destroyed like that.
Never. Again.
My name is Hikari Aino, the last remaining survivor of the Aino clan and this is my story.
So what do you think? Did you like it? I hope so. So as I said earlier I will update this story after Hidden In The Eyes, it's only fair since I started HITE first.
