"Hey, Nee-chan? What's so special with that…Sasike?" I asked my older sister, Arya.
"It's not Sasike, it's Sasuke. And, he is so handsome!" she squealed. I just rolled my eyes.
"You are too young to understand; you're only five years old ", she said.
"And you are twelve, but you still act younger than me!" I said, brushing a strand of my red hair away from my eyes.
"Here; read the manga and then I'll listen to you", she said and practically threw the book at my head.
"Troublesome…Geez, thank you", I said sarcastically and started to read it.

Who knew that that little book will change my life?

"What have I done?" Arya groaned. I was 6 years old now. I was reading Naruto manga number four hundred-something. I couldn't care less about which chapter I was in. I looked at my sister.
"What?" I asked.
"I gave you the manga to read and now it's the only thing you do!"
"And you still act younger than me", I said smirking.
"Sometimes Shikamaru reminds me of you; the lazy genius", she said.
"It's all your fault, you gave me the manga," I said

Those were the nice moments with my sister.
*** Flashback ***
-Ten days after the one before-
"Hey, Nee-chan? Guess what!"
"What it is, Ani-chan?" she asked.
"I know the hand seals of 23 jutsus!" I said proudly.
"Concentrate on your school, Anima. There are more important things in life than Naruto", she said.
"Whatever you say, Nee-chan" I said.
*** End of Flashback ***
Six months after that the worst thing happened in my life.
*** Flashback ***
"Nee-chan? Nee-chan! Why are you crying?" I asked my sister.
"D-dad…h-he started t-to drink…h-h-he's always d-drunk. He-he punched m-me, a-and it h-h-hurts…" she said.
"What?"
"I-it's true…"she sobbed.
"And what about mom?" I asked. "Does she know that?"
"She knew it…"
"What do you mean?"
"He killed her! She's DEAD!" she screamed. My eyes widened with shock.
"Whadya doin? I toldya noto tell 'er!" my dad…said while rushing into Arya's room. He was drunk, I could feel the smell of alcohol. He tried to punch me, but I ducked under his blow. The blow was strong; I could feel the wind in my hair. I started to run away from him, out of the room.
I heard a 'thud' and my sister's 'Ow!'. He killed my mother, he will kill my sister if I don't do something… I didn't know what I was doing; I found myself in the kitchen, holding a long, sharp knife. I went to the room where they were and slowly tip toed behind my dad's back. I saw Arya; her whole face was bloody. She was almost dead, and she was unconscious.
I raised the knife and stabbed the man in front of me. I pulled the knife out of him and watched him fall down on the ground. I went to the phone to call the hospital to pick up Arya. While I was walking to the phone I looked at the knife. It was stained with blood, but on a clean part I could see my face. It was emotionless, but my eyes – those usually soft, warm eyes were now cold and…murderous. My life changed drastically, and I was only five.
*** End of Flashback ***
Since that day I became emotionless and cold. I had foster parents while Arya was in the hospital. It was not only her physical health; her mental health needed care too. But I was fine, I talked when they asked me, I never had nightmares, I ate and my body was healthy.
But then one day…
*** Flashback ***
I was sitting in my classroom. I was supposed to visit Arya after school. I was now eight, and she was still in the hospital. The doctors say that she'll die soon.
So I say that she's dead.
"Hey, do you see that red haired girl? I heard that she killed someone", someone whispered.
"She killed her dad."
"Not just that; I heard that she killed her mother and injured her sister." I felt tears in my eyes and anger.
"And they say that she's got a mental disease."
"You mean like, she's crazy?"
"Well, if she killed her family…" I started to feel rage.
"My brother knew her sister; she was good, but she's in shock right now. Poor girl."
"Yeah, my sister isn't a…monster like this one."
I snapped. "Shut UP! You don't know ANYTHING! JUST SHUT UP!" I yelled and ran out of the classroom.
"The monster will kill us", someone said. I ran faster and hot tears were pouring down my face. I've been suppressing the emotions for too long and now it all came.
When I finally got to the exit that led out of this hell, a teacher saw me.
"And where are you going?" he asked me.
"It's none of your business!" I said and tried to open the door, but it was locked. I punched the door ant it broke so I could just go out of that building. I ran for a long time, and I ended up in a forest.
I felt the urge to kick, punch, break…kill. That thought made me even more angry than I was. I punched the biggest tree, hoping that the pain I'll feel will stop me from thinking something like that. But I didn't feel the pain; the tree just broke. I saw a house; it seemed like I was looking through a window. I was curious so I stepped in the tree. At the same second as my feet touched the ground everything went black.
