AN: This is a repost of my story Mikagami.
Disclamer: Don't own Naruto.
Hikaru's POV
"Okay class," suddenly a voice intruded my thought. "The homeworks are due tomorrow, March 17th," said Kisaragi-sensei in his usual boring voice.
March 17th…That mean today is March 16th… What? It's been five years already since that dreadful day? I can't believe it! I still haven't kill Orochimaru and avenge my brother? How could I? And how could that Orochimaru kill Hikari, my brother and the nicest person on this planet? Thinking back to my brother, my heart ached. I remember how perfect he was. He was sooooooooo handsome. Short brownish-black hair and red eyes like the color of fire. His mouth was always curled up to a gentle smile. He likes to wear his black cloak, which made him look very mysterious. He was very strong too. He was the one who taught me how to control my bloodline limit powers and all the other jutsus I know.
"MISS HIMURO! CAN YOU HEAR ME?"
"Hm? What? Oh! Kakashi-sensei! Were you talking to me?" I was surprised to see Kisaragi-sensei's face suddenly zoomed in front of me.
"Miss Himuro, the class ended five minutes ago! What are you doing still sitting there?"
"I … I was just thinking about something. I'm sorry," I apologized.
"You know, thinking isn't a bad thing, but with the year final coming up next week, you shouldn't be doing that during classes," signed Kisaragi-sensei.
"I was a bit carried away. I was just thinking about what happed this morning," I lied.
"Oh well. Anyways, there are some people who want to see you. They are waiting outside the office right now and they have waited alone time. They seem very impatient so you should go see them soon or they might start a fight soon. Hahaha…" joked Kisaragi-sensei.
Without any further delays, I ran out of the classroom and down the hallway.
Sign. If Hikari was alive right now, I would not even be changing my identities every three or four months, trying to escape from Orochimaru. We would be living in that wonderful cabinet in the forest and not worrying about when would some snake-man come and get us because he wants our power.
Power… Orochimaru only came because we had too much of it. He knows that if he could get us to join him, he could do what ever he wants. Destroying Konoha would be a piece of cake. But of course we didn't join him. That's why he killed Hikari. Well, he didn't exactly kill him on a fair fight.
Flashback
"Look! Onii-chan look! I can make water float in my hands!"
"NO! HIKARU! DON'T COME! GET OUT OF HERE!"
"Well, well. Look what we got here?"
"NO, leave her out of this fight! This fight is between you and me!"
"We can't have that now, can we? She's stepped into this fight already so whether you like it or not, she is going to participate! Now go! My snakes! Tear her into pieces!"
"Kyaaaaaaaaa!"
… … …
"… … O… Onii-chan? What happened? Why is there blood on your back? Why does my shoulder hurt? Onii-chan?" I asked Hikari quietly.
"Listen Hikari… Keep this necklace and don't lose it… Okay? Run as far as you could from this place and don't come back."
"But onii-chan…"
"Don't worry about me. I would catch up to you as soon as I finish this snake-man off… Now remember, don't come back and look for me. …Shunshin no jutsu!"
End of Flashback
That was the last time I saw Hikari. Thinking back to it, I remember I never had any sense of belongingness after that. A year later, I remember going back to that place because I never saw Hikari again, but all I saw was the normal forest sight. The place looked like any other peaceful forests. I also went back to check the cabinet. But the place was trashed – probably by Orochimaru – and didn't seem to be used in ages. That's when I understood everything. Orochimaru killed Hikari and is after me now. I must change my identity or he would catch me for sure! I would have to…
BOINK!
"Itatatata…" I wined as I ran into someone. "Su… suimasen."
"So… You're Hikaru Himuro…Just as we expected. A weak, dumb girl who looks to have no use for us." Said a man's voice.
"Hm? What? How do you know my name?" I was surprised to hear an unknown voice to know my name so I looked up.
In front of me, there were two men. One of them had blue skins and jagged teeth. What is he? A half-shark-half-man or something? He looked like he's 30 years old. The other one was a raven-hair man. Well, at least he doesn't look like a half animal. He looked like he's around my brother's age. Both men were wearing a black cloak with sleeves and the drawing of red clouds. And both men had a weird designed forehead protector with a slash going across it. Who are they?
"Oh… We know a lot more than your name. Hikaru Himuro, 15 years old. You have been an orphan ever since you were 2, and your brother, Hikari Hiwatari, died when he was 16," said the shark-man. "Should I go on?"
What? How did they know who I am and who Hikari was? …Wait a minute, they are right outside of the office and they know who I am, then they must be…
"Are you the ones who wanted to see me?" I asked.
"I can't believe she was actually smart enough to figure that out!" laughed the shark-man.
"Hikaru Himuro, we need to talk to you privately… Kisame." The raven-haired man suddenly ordered and before I can figure out what they were talking about, I felt a sharp pain in my back. As my vision got blurrier and darker, I lost conscious and fell on the ground.
