Chapter 1: Intro

A 9 year old Shikamaru sat and sighed.

"Brother I'm bored." his twin sister complained.

"This is so troublesome." they both complained. Shikamaru grabbed an erubix cube and twisted and turned it.

"Here."

"Are you serious?" he shrugged. She took it from him and turned it back to each indiviual color in under five minutes.

"There its done can we go now?"

"Mego, how can you just want to get up and run around. Its strange."

"No, your just lazy."

"Fine, Fine."

"WHOOT!" Mego jumped. Brother and sister left the house and met up with their friends.

---------------------------------------

Else were, two nine year old Uchiha's were training with one another.

"Hey Sasuke-niisan, do you think that Itachi-niisaan has time to help up with our shuriken?"

"I don't know Botan-neechan. He's probably really buisy. Like always."

"Do you hear that?"

"What?"

Both listened intenivly. Then curiousity got the better of them and they crept closer to the strange sounds.

"Damn Bitch." a girl mumbled as she repeatedly hit a log.

"Who's that?" Sasuke asked his twin sister.

"I don't know I've never seen her before." she replied to her brother.

The girl got a feeling she was being watched and shouted,

"Oi, who's there?" she yelled.

"Relax it's just us." Botan informed the stranger.

"And who's 'us'?" she snapped.

"Chill out girl." Botan responded.

"Botan-neechan don't waste your time on a weakling like her."

"Your right, niisan." Botan sighed.

A growl erupted from the girls throat, which got the Uchiha twins attentions. After a small smirk apeared on her lips. Not two seconds later a boy lashed out at Sasuke, who easily grabed his arms and pining him on the ground.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF HIM TEME!" The girl exploded. Sasuke's head snapped back in the girls direction and the boy wriggled his way out of the Uchiha's grasp. He dashed over and stood by the girl. Glares were threw all around The scilence was so thick you could have choked on it. The tension filled scilence was inturupted by,

"Botan-chan, Sasuke-kun Whats up?"

"Oi, Mego you are so loud, and troublesome."

"Yeah, but thats what you love about me right brother?" Mego grinned from ear to ear. Shikamaru qurked and eyebrow and replied,

"Sure, whatever."

"Hey, what are you doing out here?"

"My guess, little sister, is that they're with those two." Shikamaru pointed out.

"Oh, HI! I didn't see you there! My names Mego, and this is my brother Shikamaru." Botan hit Mego on the head.

"Baka! you don't give your name out to any stranger walking by." Botan informed.

"Well SORRY. I thought she was your friend."

"Yeah right.Thats what you get for thinking. Like I would ever make and acqaintince with someone like that!" The female Uchiha growled. Having the short temper she had, the girl couldn't take any more insults and lunged at the Uchiha. Botan defended herself the best she could. But the blood lust in the girls very spirit was even too much for the female Uchiha to deal with, her brother soon stepped in to help her. It was now two against one has Shikamaru held his twin back telling her it was Botan's fight and not to get involved.

Useing her addvanced reflexes she had earned from a troublesome past the girl was able to dodge most of the attacks being used against her. Even so she was not a ninja and was no match for the Uchiha duo. Botan had managed to get her off her feet and was about to end the fight with the final blow when an ANBU grabbed her arm in mid punch.

"I don't think that's very wise, Neechan."

"Itachi-niisan." Botan's gaze driffted up to the ANBU mask her eldest brothers face was hidden under.

"All of you go home." Itachi ordered them. "Exept, you two." He added indicating the mysterious boy and girl. Each child obayed and left as the two children waited to hear what the ANBU had to say.

"Who is your sensei?" The ANBU suddenly asked.

Neighther knew what to say.

"Sensei?" they questioned.

"Are you not in the ninja academy?"

Both shook their heads in utter shock to think that this ANBU thought THEY were accually in ninja training.

"Hm. Very well. Go home."

The boy and girl began to walk away when,

"Wait a minute." He called to them. The girl returned to the ANBU.

"What's your names?" She told him both their names and breifly spoke with him. Then she and the boy sprinted off back to were t hey resided.

----------------------------------------------

The yells echoed through the hall. You wouldn't believe this woman could be so cruel, nor how loud she could yell. Half of Konoha would have been awoken if not for the sound proof walls. They only thing that really worked in the orphanage. Everything else was either too old, over used, or just plain worthless. Two childrens thoughts driffted as the woman continued to rant of what they were not really sure.

"You dumb asses are you even listening to me!" Both nodded unknowing the question really given to them. It was usually asking them if they knew they were a peices of trash worth less than dirt. The two had learned to just agree with what the woman through at them.

"What did I just tell you?" Both looked at her clueless. Big mistake.

"Well?" The two exchanged glances. The boy was about to take a wild guess but was cut off when the enraged girl blurted out,

"I wouldn't know. I wasn't listening to your rant!" An even BIGGER mistake! Unfortuatly she relised this too late. She was grabbed by the ear and taken to the other room. The woman looked over her shoulder to tell the boy, "And Damu you stay there and don't move." The boy didn't move as the door creaked to a shut. A draft of terrible scilence cuased fear to whel up in both children. The boy waited for the sound of the ruler hitting flesh, and held his breath. Then flinched when it finally came. Even though it was not him being striked old memories when it was him being taken to that same room surfaced. After a few moments the woman came back out the girls ear back in her clutches. The pain was written all over the girls face and eyes. And gazing to the various welts on his friend he flinched.

With great force the woman shoved the girl onto the ground. She hit it with enormous force.

"Damu!" The woman shrilled. "Go to bed." He stiffined. Not only did he hate the name he was besone by the orphanage he didn't know what would become of the other orphan.

"NOW!" he jumped slightly and left.

The seconds felt like minutes and the minutes like hours. As he sat on the dirty mattress that stunk of an order so foul it was undefinable. There were two matresses in the small room he was given to share with the girl. Each came with a ragged blanket which they each had got a few years ago.

They creak of the door yanked him out of his thoughts and he saw the girl walk over to her 'bed' and collasp on it.

"Dammitt Shikajoe, I swear I'm gonna kill her one day." The boy, Shikajoe, rolled his eyes.

"Taijiya you say that every night."

"I'm serious. I'm gonna kill her." Taijiya informed him.

"Are you okay?" he asked glancing at her abused flesh. She pulled the ragged blanket over herself and replied,

"Don't worry about me you need to worry about yourself.

"Sorry my evil half won't let me."

"Oi, Shikajoe. I'm going to sleep. We gotta get up at 5 in the morning."

"Who the hell gets up at 5 in the morning?" Shikajoe complained.

"The orphans who don't want beat by the bitch."

"Oh, yeah." Shikajoe scoffed, "You can't kill her."

"Hm?"

"You can't kill the bitch cuase I wanna kill her too."

"Fine you can stab her in the heart and I'll slit her throat." Taijiya grinned.

"No fair! she doesn't have a heart!" Taijiya laughed then winced clutching her ribs.

"Damn, maybe we should just steal her boots for now. She kicks Hard." Nieghter laughed.

"Shikajoe?"

"Yeah."

"Do you know why she was so mad today?"

"She's mad everyday."

"Yeah but it's becuase what I did today."

"What'd you do?"

She paused for a second.

"I talked to someone and they said we had a chance of getting into a ninja academy."

"WHA-" Taijiya jumped up and clamped her hand over Shikajoe's mouth.

"Sshh.."she hissed. "Listen we can get out of here."

"How in the hell did you even get the regestration forms? Plus don't you have to have a family member sign the forms as well! Even I can tell you the Bitch won't agree with it."

"Well I had some help."

"From who?"

"That ANBU, from eariler." she sighed. Shikajoe's eyes went wide.

"Hey we need to sleep or we won't get up in the morning and we'll hear about it from the Bitch."

Shikamaru gave her a glare then they each went to their own dirty mattresses and fell into deep thought about what being a ninja would be like.

------------------------------------

The next morning Taijiya woke up to rays of sun hitting her face. Her eyes burned when the rays connected with them.

"Dammit." she muttered and tried to blink the brightness out of her eyes. Then reality hit her. 'Wait sunlight!' she went wide eyed.

"Shikajoe! Shikajoe wake your lazy ass up!"

"Mmmmmm.." he mummbled.

"Dammitt come on we're late!"

His eyes shot open and they both dashed out the door. Both were sprinting down the halls wishing that the Bitch had not realized they were not up yet. They skidded to a halt when they heard voices in one of the rooms. They crept up to the room the voices were comming from and listened in on the conversation. One of the voices was the Bitch and the other was a male that they had heard before but could not place the name.

"You see," it was the male voice speaking. "I have receaved a recomendation for two of your orphans to go to the ninja academy from a very good source."

"Really? Two of my little orphans become ninjas thats like a dream for me." It was shocking and discusting how the same woman who could inflict so much pain and suffering onto a child could sound so nice and sweet.

"Indeed."

"Well I'm so thrilled to hear it Hokage-sama!"

"There is no problem correct?"

"Not at all Hokage-sama. I'll see that they're there bright and early tommorrow morning."

The Hokage eyed her, "Very well then. I insist you come to the cerimony this afternoon then Ms. Kango."

"Of course Hokage-sama."

"Taij lets go. We have to be in the-" Shikajoe whisper was cut off.

"Wait a second."

"No Taij common!"

"Fine." Both scilently ran down the hall and entered the room they called the torture room. It was the same room that they had been lechered in the night before.

Not 10 minutes later the Bitch, Ms. Kango, entered the room. She looked at them up and down and wrinkled her nose at their apearances.

"Go bathe!" she barked. "I must get you presentable clothes."
