A new story.
Bare with me.
The beginning is mostly to build up my OC
To learn where she came from

"Kaminari what are doing!?" Ami's small five year old child smiled looking over at her. The bone of her finger grew out three inches and she giggled. Look what I can do mommy." Not knowing exactly what it was the curious girl flung her extended finger bone as a sword, ready to fight off enemy ninja. Her mothers horrified expression caused the little girl's smile to fall quickly. Flinching as her mother, a usually calm and collected women grabbed onto her shoulders shaking her, "Where did you learn that, huh?" Ami couldn't help but let a few tears fall from her eyes. "I don't know momma. I'm sorry." Shutting her eyes hard the child waited for more scolding but instead her mother pulled her into her chest. The comforting smell of lilies filled the small girls nose."Don't do that ever again do you hear me? Don't do it." Her mothers voice soft and breakable.
The fragile girl nodded quickly. She didn't want to disappoint her mother. She loved her mother. "Promise me." Ami said pulling away looking at the doe eyed girl. "I promise." Kaminari said softly. She let her white hair fall over her gloomy face. Looking at her fingers the bone retreated back in. She wondered why her mother was so mad. The girl thought it was so cool but if her mother didn't like then she wouldn't do it anymore. Tucking a stray hair from her face behind her ear the girl shook her head, a promise was a promise and she would never go back on her promise.
With some pep in her step Kaminari went into the kitchen to help her mother with dinner. Quick glances from her mom as she washed the potatoes in the sink. The girl on a step stool humming softly with out a care in the world. Ami sighed softly looking back to the pot on the stove. How god had forsaken her. Why, out of all the children in the clan why her little Kaminari. It had been so long since someone in the clan had the ability. They were all scared of it, scared of the power. Even the men, the war hungry men were scared of it and here it was right in front of her in the form of a helpless five year old child. Ami wondered how long she would able to hid Kaminari. She was glad that the girl wasn't a boy. The boy were taken as soon as they could walk and started training.
"Mom was I that tiny?" bright emerald eyes looked over at the baby. Her new baby brother. Ami chuckled softly at the 8 year olds comment. "You were even smaller." The mother looked at her baby, love filling her heart but also despair. Being a male in this clan only meant one thing. Training, fighting and war. That was all that they wanted, all they craved was blood. His green eyes looked up at her, she let her fingers touch the small tuff of white hair on his head. He wasn't anything like the males of the clan. With their dark hair and dark eyes. He looked like the spitting image of Kaminari when she was first born.
Ami knew she wouldn't have long before they took him from her. The thought breaking every inch of her. "He is chubby." The girl poked his cheek and the baby let out a happy cry. Kaminari put her hands over her ears with a small smile on her lips. "And loud." Ami chuckled. Cherishing the moments she had with her children. "Ill help you take of him mommy don't you worry. Ill be the best big sister." The child put her hands on her hips before running in the kitchen and coming back with a glass of water for her mother. Ami prayed that her son didn't have the problem as her daughter did. The blood limit. There was no way that they would be able to hide him. They would find him and taken him away, maybe even kill him.
Glancing over at Kaminari she thanked fate that no one had taken her. After the incident when she was five the girl tried her best to hide her blood limit but it was hard. When she was upset or angry the girl couldn't control herself. One time after her father had come home from battle he struck Ami, which he often did but this time her child saw from the closet where she had been hiding for a game of hide and seek. Kaminari, eyes glowing and cheek pink had bones sticking out of her arms covering her hands, making them into weapons. It took everything in Ami to calm the girl down so the bones would retreat. Thankful her father was off to a clan meeting to discuss another battle with another clan.
"Can I hold Kimi?" Ami's eyes danced with a soft playfulness. "Of course you can. Just be careful. He is fragile." Slowly she gave the boy over to his older sister. The girl stiff and nervous. Once he was safely in her arms Kaminari released some tension from her shoulders. She puffed her cheeks out for a moment before a smiled broke across her face. "I'm Kami. I'm you big sister and Ill take care of you always. That's a promise." Poking the boy in the nose he reached up and grabbed into his sisters finger. The action brought on a wave of giggles from the child. Kaminari shook his hand softly with her finger. Ami choked back the tears knowing moments like this were scarce and as time went on would be lost forever.
The small bright eyed girl let her back hit the stone wall behind her. "Are you awake?" She said softly fiddling with an orchid she stole from one of the shop windows in town. Her brother always loved flowers. "Kaminari?" She smiled at his voice. Timid and soft. The voice of a child, a four year old. "Yea its me. I brought you something Brother." Turning on her knees she shoved the orchid through the small opening as carefully as she could. She couldn't see his face, only shadows and light as he moved in front of the hole and then away from it.
Kaminari missed having her brother with her. They did everything together. Almost attached at the hip even when the went out to train or just to walk around. The boy, although younger could've been her twin. He was different, there was a glimmer in his eyes. Glimmers of hope. He was nothing like the men of this clan. Ruthless, heartless. Kaminari's brother was soft spoken and he was fragile. He understood life differently then the others and he loved his big sister to the moon and back again.
"It's beautiful." he whispered. Emerald eyes brimmed with big fat tears, Kaminari let her forehead fall against the stone wall, a curtain of white covering her face. It had been almost a year since her clan locked her bother away. They were scared of him. Scared of the potential powers he held inside his tiny body. Kaminari knew that she should've been with him. Locked inside that cage, hidden from the world because she had the same blood running through her veins. The same limit that scared every last pillage hungry clan member. Guilt flooded her very being and so she came here and did the best that should could to keep him company.
"You cant keep coming here. They'll catch you Kami." She shook her head. She didn't care if they did. She flinched when she saw a small pale finger shove its way through the hole. Desperately she grasped at it. All she wanted to do was hug him and hold him close. Tell him everything was going to be alright. "When you were born I promised you that I would always take care of you." Her voice cracked as she spoke. Every day became harder and harder for the girl but she knew that it was harder on her brother. He was like a flower and inside the darkness of his cell he withered a little bit every day. She wasn't sure how long he was going to last in there but she needed to figure out how to get him out. Even though he warned her not to.
"How's mom?" The girls eye brows furred together. Truth was her mother was not doing well. That day when they took her brother was hard on her and more so her mom. She didn't speak much and stayed in bed a lot. Kaminari had to start cooking for herself and her mom in an attempt to get her to eat. It was as though her reason for living was taken from her that day. "She is okay. She misses you of course." She never lied to her brother before but she figured it was better this way. Better then burdening him more unnecessary anguish.
The sound of his cell opening caused the girl to jump. She frantically tried to hold on to him as his finger was pulled away. "Get up. It's time you put that power to use and serve your clan. It's time for war." War? Kaminari's heart uncontrollably started to beat faster and faster. He was just a kid, only four years only and they expected him to go to war. Stumbling to her feet she made her way around the stone hill that contained her brother. There was a small nook carved out in it where he was kept. Stopping around the other side she watched while her whole world was shoved down a path out of the clan village, "No!" She yell. Her white locks behind her as she ran.
With one hit Kaminari was on the floor. "You cant take him. He's just a boy." Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at him. Even paler then usually his eyes lacking the light of life they once had. "He is old enough to stand he is old enough to fight alone side his clan." She glanced up at her father. His eyes filled with blood lust. She wasn't even sure if he recognized his own kids. To him they were just pawns, bags of flesh and bones. Kaminari less useful then her bother, or so they thought. Getting back up she dodged another hit from her father. Grabbing her brother she pulled him to her. His usual sweet scent of rain and grass was covered by mildew and shame. "Please don't do this father. Please." She resorted to begging, groveling if she had to. "He is just a boy. Please." Her voice was soft as she crushed her brother into her chest. His hands eagerly wrapping around his big sisters waist. She could feel him trembling.
Her fathers eyes were furious. There was no sway even with pleading from his own flesh and blood. "He will fight. He will fight and die with honor against Kirigakure for thinking they are stronger then us." grabbing at her pearly white locks Kaminari screamed. Her fingers grasping out for Kimi's hand as she landed on the cold ground. "Don't worry Kami. I have to fight, to protect you and mom." His voice was low and she knew in her heart he wouldn't be back. She could feel the emptiness spreading from the corners of her soul. Another yank from behind caused her head to hit the ground, her vision blurry. She watched the large figure of her father walk with a small fragile thing at his side. "No!" She tried to get up but her head was spinning. All she could do was watch as he walked away.
"No Kimimaro, NO!"
She opened her eyes yelling into the wind. Her hands out, small bones on all the tips ready to fight anyone in her way. She looked around for those familiar green eyes that was like looking through a mirror, but there was nothing but darkness. Kaminari must have black out with the blow to her head. Her fathers words played over in her head, a war with Kirigakure. Was her whole clan crazy. On her feet the girl ran as fast as she could. In her home she raced up the stairs into her mother's room, "They took him to war!" She yelled looking for some type of reaction. Nothing, the woman didn't even turn her head to look at her child. "What's the matter with you?" Making her way to the other side of her mothers bed the girl stumbled back. Ami's lifeless eyes looking up at her, taunting her. Blood running down her wrist that hung off the bed. Kunai clenched in a stiff hand.
Kaminari's cheek were flush red and her heart thumped in her throat. Looking around the girl didn't know what to do. She was lost. Shutting her eyes closed small streams of tears found their way to her face. The 12 year old girl was shocked and devastated. Her heart completely broken. Darting out of the room she fell to her knees. Her hands clenched into fists against the hardwood floor. The coward. Her son is being hauled to his death and she does that. Kaminari shook her head but couldn't keep the contents of her stomach down. Pull her self up she darted into her and her brothers room collecting anything she might need and shoving them into her back pack. Leaving the house and her life behind she started to make her way to Kirigakure, maybe it wasn't to late.
Running quickly threw the trees, her breathing ragged, eyes wide. It wasn't long before she stood at an over look of the village. Falling to her knees she looked at the smoke travelling high in the sky. Her fingers trembled, was she to late. "They will kill you too if they see you." With her hands up in defense Kaminari spun around. She eyed the tall thin man. His hair long and black. His eyes yellow with slits for pupils. She gulped and gathered her courage. " I'm looking for my bother, looks just like me. He is small, just a little kid." She put her hand up at about her hip to show the man how tall Kimi was.
Taking a few steps the man stood beside her, "They killed them all the pile in the middle of town if you don't believe me and last I saw they were on their way to take out the rest of the clan as well." A lump grew in the girls throat. "No survivors I can assure you." Kaminari didn't even notice the sick smile that grew on the mans face. She took a few steps back and let her heart die. She had broken a promise to her whole world. She promised she would keep him safe and she let him march right off to war. To a war they could not win, it was suicide.
The word stung her tongue. Her mother was a coward, her father was a murderous brute and she was weak. Her brother disserved so much more then the family he was given. He didn't get to live a full life. A long happy life amongst the flowers.
I'm so sorry Kimimaro ..
