Life would be so much easier if there is no violence. I would still have my parents,my brother,my home,but wishes can't come true this easily.I was 4 years old back then...just about to turn 5 that day when my home and my family disappeared forever.
"Happy Birthday to you,Ats-"
A loud bang outside the door interrupted my father and my brother,Hideaki,came running out of the were supposed to take out the cake,but now it is long forgotten,
"Is it them?"my father asked.
"Yes",my mom answered,"My premonition was correct."

Hideaki cursed,"Why now?! It's her birthday,she shouldn't remember her 5th birthday like this."He looked at me with regret and such deep sadness that I was so confused about what's going on.

"Mom,what's happening?"I asked
My mom look at and smiled sadly that makes me only scared of what's happening even more,"Nothing,Atsuko."

She then turn and look at my father,"Give her it."

"Give me what?"I thought confused
My dad nod and went to the drawer that has always kept locked on the make some hand movements and the lock open,he reach inside and took out a long object that is wrapped by cloths.
"Take this,"my father instructed

I took it and unwrap it,it was a sword with a gold handle at the end in shape of a dragon,the symbol of my clan,the Hiyoshi.
Bang!
Another sound came from outside the looked around afraid and said,"Hurry we don't have that much time left."
My mom nod and hug me.

"Remember who you are,"she whispered in my ear.
Then my dad also embraced me and whispered,"We love you no matter what,"and let go.
My brother's hands lay on both sides of my shoulder and kissed me on the forehead.
"Mom,dad,Hideaki,why are you doing and saying these things to me?It's like you're saying goodbyes",I said confused
They just smiled.
Bang!Bang!
My mom smiled quickly dissolved into horror and scooped me up into her arms,she quickly run up the stairs and into my parents open the drawer underneath the bed and lay me inside it.

"Stay quiet,"she hissed and close the drawer.

I heard her running down the stairs,and BANG!

It's the loudest noise I have ever heard.
"Where is she?!"a deep voice shouted
BOO-MM!
"I said where is she!"the voice shouted again
"I will NEVER tell you!"my father hollered
I heard the mystery person said something and then a BANG!BOOM!
"Father!"I heard Hideaki shouted and another round of BANG!BOOM! Expect this time I heard my brothers go along with it.
"I ask you once again,WHERE IS SHE?!"the mystery person ask again in a loud voice,"if you don't answer me, you will join your husband and son in a eternal sleep and I will then personally find your daughter myself."
I heard my mother hissed,"Go to hell."

SLING!
The sound of a blade cutting through something send a cold dread through my heart.
"Mother!"I scream in my head
I push open the drawer using my legs and run down the I got down,what I saw only makes me feel more afraid.

My father and Hideaki lay on the floor,dead,blood pouring out of from the giant holes from their stomach,creating a giant puddle of blood along with...my head was rolling on the ground,a sign that it was recently cut off from it's body was not lying too far from it's head though,and behind my mother's body was a person wearing a black cloak with red clouds on face was covered with a orange mask,a hole on the top right part of it for the eye.
"Ah,Atsuko,I've been looking for you,"the mysterious person said,"tell me,did this sight horrifies you?I could end your pain right now,right here for you."
I cover my mouth with a hand and took a step back,tears start to well up in my the mysterious person only took a step forward.I look back at my dead parents body and back to the masked person and whispered,"murderer,"and do the Blazing Fireball Jutsu.
The mysterious person gasp and then growl in anger,"You have made me lost all my patient,I will kill you right now,"and he lunged for me with his hands outstretched,but I flinch which fortunately save my life. I then run straight to the door,I heard the person start to follow me but then the ceiling(made of wood) fall down near him,blocking his the time I got out of the door , I was coughing of smoke and run to the bush that's near my house and turn around just in time to watch my house burn down in front of me,and it's all because of the last part of my house fall down into a pile of heap of burned wood,my eyes was streaming down of tears.I have lost everything,my home,my family,in one day.
"I have lost everything,everything,"I thought and fainted onto the ground.
