I heard the shouting of the battle that was raging on behind us getting quieter and quieter as we moved away from the scene. My two sisters, brother, and I are the last of the Higurashi Clan, the only Clan in history that were able to summon really demons different yet the same as the tailed beasts. We were sought because of this by other nations -so that the war leaned the way they wanted it too- and since cause of those selfish desires we were hunted down and captured. Though what the nation weren't expecting us to fight back, we were known as a peaceful Clan, war just wasn't our thing, but being weak and submissive was definitely not either. We kept to ourselves away from the world; it was the way we have lived for centuries, we feed off the land, rise and set with the sun – we had no electricity. Everybody knew everyone, we helped each other out in time of need, there were hardly ever quarrels, and everything was peaceful.

But that has changed we were ripped out of our safe haven and into a blood thirsty world filled with war, greed, deceit, and loss. It was horrible we may be young and hadn't got that far into our Clan's training but we could feel auras and they were painful to feel… too painful to tolerate. So sorrowful, pain everywhere; it hurt, my sister, Kagome, she was the most sensitive with auras she was exceptionally gifted in reading auras. When the attack started Kagome was the first to feel all of it and broke down and cried, people were killing off people left and right, but the worst part about it was it was our own people – killing and being killed.

At first we were doing well keeping our ground and holding them back, but after the second wave of people things changed. Being the only Children of the Head of the Clan, we were moved out first to a safe place, it was an underground tunnel that was specifically made for if this sort of thing would have happened. It was a maze, which very few people of our Clan knew their way thru. We were following one of the elders thru it, Kaedae, she was also our Great Grandmother she had baby sited us while our father had been away tending to matters in the small village of ours.

We had known one of the nations was plotting against us but we didn't know which one – our resources were limited. I had never got a chance to see one –captives- so it was hard telling what nation they were from. But we had thought it was going to be put off for another month at least… how very wrong we were. It was so sudden and in the middle of the night, we were so unprepared. But I thought it would be day break soon and then at least we could see our enemy, if we survived. Or at least that's what I had thought.

We had stopped right at the exit, I was curious as to why, I opened my mouth to ask the question but I was cut off when something flew out of the bushes and straight toward Kaedae. It happened so fast I thought that if I had blinked I would have missed everything. The thing that flew out of the bushes was a shuriken and it was lodged in Kaedae's right eye. She let out a piercing scream my eyes widened in shock I had never seen death up close. I had stood there watched her fall to the ground on her knees screaming and then watched as she reached up and pulled out the weapon, blood gushed out. Going all over the ground and covering most of her right side of her body.

Her screams started too died down and she fell over toward us blood covering the ends of our yukatas. I looked down at her with horrified eyes as the blood pooled around her and moved toward us I backed up vaguely noticing that my little sister had grabbed on to the back of my clothing burying her face into my back trying to hide her face from the horrifying sight, when it had started to happen. I had noticed it too late and we both fell back onto the ground. Three ninjas came out of the bushes walking towards they had mask of animals; they were all clad in black. Walking toward us at leisurely pace, the ones that were on the left and right were looking around, possibly thinking that there were going to be more people to jump out and ambush them.

I finally snapped out of my daze and started scooting back, my sister with me still not letting go of my yukata. Her back hit the wall with a thump and I ran into her legs, affectively stopping me. I looked up with terrified eyes, I heard my sister whimper, they had finally reached us stopping, and one reached up to grab his sword that was strapped to his back. When all of a sudden they stumbled forward and turned to look out to the forest all of them had drawn their weapons, prepared for fighting.

There was a flash of yellow behind them and they fell down to the ground dead. The flash turned out to actually be a young boy, 15 of age or so it looked like.

He turned around, he had longish golden blond hair and eyes that were a very bright blue. "Are you the village leaders' children?"

"Minato!" A voice called out from the forest, I heard some rustling and a man with long white hair that reached a bit past his shoulders stepped out in to the opening, he had what looked like 2 thin red streak going down his cheeks from his bottom eye lid. He turned toward us and something flashed thru his eyes it was to fast for me to recognize. " Are these young girls the ones were looking for?"

"I'm not sure. But I believe so. Though, I haven't got an answer yet." He turned toward us with a brow raised I knew what he wanted. I nodded my head forgetting that they could be an enemy too. I was a kid and he had just saved us so I interpreted it as their the good guys.

The blond, now named Minato walked over to us. He kneeled down and looked us over, I froze he was close I could see some blood splattered on him. He must noticed something because his eyes seemed…softer and apologized for it. He held out a hand I don't what told me to do it but I reached and grasped his hand.

This is my story about my life -Manaki- and how I got to be or up tamed, 'The Cutest Girl of All Award', 'The Top Kunoichi', 'A Woman of the Uchiha's', 'The Time Travel girl, or my personal favorite 'The Weird Eyed Girl'.
