Chapter 1

Jioh walked along the road with Siyo her best friend. "I can't believe we passed the Genin exam, and you came third top" Siyo shouted as loud as possible hoping people could hear.

"Please Siyo, be a bit quieter I would barely call coming third in class good." Jioh said modestly. Siyo began to giggle at his best friends attempt to keep him quiet. They continued to walk down the path out of Konoha. "It such a drag that we have to live just outside of Konoha when all our friends live inside it." Siyo moaned.

"Wow you sounded like Shikamaru for a second there. Don't tell me your getting boring Siyo. Anyway it's not that bad we get to see more of the country this way" Jioh said reassuringly but trying her best not to laugh at her friend's sour face. As they walked onwards Jioh stopped to turn into her house. "Goodbye Siyo" She said waving as she entered her shabby farmhouse.

Her father walked towards her to greet her. "Did you pass" He said eagerly. Jioh pulled a sad face.

"I am afraid…. I did!" She yelled running into her fathers arms. Flinging her bag of her back in the process. "I am so proud of you Jioh, you have honoured the Uhina name with your greatness" He said almost crying at his daughters triumph. Jioh pulled out the headband from her bag. "Isn't it amazing, but I only came third in the class, obviously Kanada and Sasuke came first." She said smiling. Her father pulled a worried face, he never really did like talking about Sasuke much especially with Jioh. "Well it does not matter your better than both of them combined".

Jioh could smell her fathers cooking from the living room and she smiled at him sweetly. "Is it my favourite?" She asked smiling widely. Her father nodded and she ran into the kitchen to find home made ramen and rice balls lying on the table. "I knew you would pass so I made you your favourite as a celebration dinner." Jioh face beamed at her father as she began to tuck into her food. Nagura wiped hid forehead he had never told Jioh of her past and decided to never tell her, the guilt he felt was immense but he enjoyed her company.

Jioh finished her food and went into her room; she pulled a shining headband from her bag. She saw her reflection in it; she smiled and watched the mirror image copy her every moment. "I should probably go to sleep" She said to her self as she began to unfasten the belt around her waste. She climbed into bed and closed her eyes. What would tomorrow be like?
