Prologue

On morning a young girl, no older then five, was walking through the forest; humming to herself. She seemed lost to the world, her deep blue eyes had a glassy look to them and every now and then she would brush her short matted dark hair out of her face.

A man and little boy out walking came around the bend in the path and spotted a girl walking blindly. Seeing her fall the man ran and helped her up.

"Looks like you could use some help," he suggested eyeing her bloody clothes. She nodded, but her body was tense, and wary.

"You have nothing to fear, I have a child of my own." he gestured behind him. "That boy is my son Katan."

"I'd like that, thank you." Her voice and eyes hinting that she had seen things no child should have. "I'm Rose, who are you?" she asked.

He smiled and said "My name is Rosiel, hello Rose. Come on you two, let's go back." Meanwhile outside the forest on the streets of Crelon another young girl ran for her life.

"Get back here brat!" yelled the guard chasing her.Spotting an open window the girl didn't think, she dove right in and slamed the window down, quickly moving out of sight.

"What the hell?! Who are you?" a man asked from the doorway.

"Sorry sir," she panted turning. "I just wanted to get away from those men." Itachi smiled softly when he saw the girl's panicked look. She couldn't be older then five. Her long brown hair was a mess and her bottle green eyes were filled with knowledge no child her age should have known. Moving to squat in front of her he asked, "What's your name kid?"

"Arianna..." she answered warily.

"Well Arianna I'm not going to turn you in, but you have to let me help you ok?" She nodded and he took her hand. Leading her out of the room and in to a bar. Seems she had thrown herself in to an inn.
