The Broken Yamanaka

by RogueTempest

Kasumi Yamanaka loved her family, especially her twin Ino, but that was before they rejected her. Kasumi now has to face the hardships of being a ninja without the support of her family. But what about the new family she finds along the way? And will she ever forgive the Yamanakas? Disclaimer: This goes for the whole story. I don't own Naruto. Only my OCs and non-canon events.

1. Prologue

The Yamanaka clan didn't know for certain whether today was a day of celebration or hesitance. The wife of their clan leader had just given birth to twins. They both looked the same, from the curve of their nose to their blue, pupil less eyes but one of the newborns had light brown hair instead of the trademark Yamanaka light blonde hair.

The instant this was discovered there was frantic talk about how the child could possibly not be their clan heads offspring and discussion everywhere about how the wife of the respected Inoichi Yamanaka was nothing but a whore. Inoichi quickly put a stop to all of this discussion and most of it would be forgotten as long as the brown haired abnormality brought honour and respect to her clan, but it is amazing how fast people can remember things or change their opinion if it benefits them.

Anyone who saw the family of four would not question what they saw with one child with the hair from the father and the other from the mother. You had to be a Yamanaka to know the gravity of the situation. No matter how many Yamanakas didn't have blonde hair the heir and their offspring must. In all the records of the Yamanaka clan from their earliest ancestors this had always been the case, the one exception caused chaos and mayhem within the clan. This brown haired child of the head of the Yamanaka clan would be considered something of a curse, while the blonde child was readily accepted as the future potential heir the brown haired child would be considered the offspring of a devil therefore having no connection to her sister, father or clan. This would always be in the background of the Yamanakas' minds, even with the reassurance from their clan head that this child was a gift.

The two girls were named Ino and Kasumi. Ino was the baby with the blonde hair and would carry the tradition of having 'Ino' in the first name. Kasumi was the brown haired disgrace who would have to work for a place in the clan because even from birth and having done nothing in this world but exist, this child was an outcast simply by her hair and name.
