Keep It Silent

Chapter 1

I never knew what true love was. I never knew who my real parents were. I never understood why my parents died. All I knew was that I was one unlucky 5-year-old child. The night Tsunade-baa-sama told me of my parents' death, I couldn't sleep for a year. Months passed me by, smiles of other children filling the world, laughter, and happiness. I was just like Naruto. Left alone. How were my parent's killed? A group of rogue Sand ninjas jumped them and beat every inch of their lives out of them, crushing their bones and causing fatal heart damage. The only way I could rid of the pain from my loss was by taking the pain away with new pain. I cut my wrists and arms. I always have. Ever since I was 5... Is that enough for you to know? Well, if not, here is my story...

"Anika...?" Tsunade called into the black room in which the silver haired child slept in. The girl stirred and sat up, rubbing her eyes.

"Yes, Tsunade-baa-sama...?" Anika asked cutely, her red eyes gleaming from the full moon which filtered it's light into the room. From Tsunade's face, Anika could tell she beared bad news. Perhaps horrifying?

"You're parents..." Tsunade started in a shaky voice. My parents what? Are being held hostage? Are staying on the mission for a bit longer? What, Tsunade? Anika asked herself. "What about them...?"

"You're parents... won't be able to come home..." Tsunade said.

"What do you mean...?" Anika asked in a small voice.

"T-they... were involved in an accident between five rogue ninjas... They died during the attack..." The woman replied, sitting next to the child and hugging her close. Anika broke into tears, hiding her face from visibility. "Why did they attack Mommy and Daddy!?"

That night was the most horrifying night of my life. I couldn't sleep at all for the rest of remaining weeks of that month. Kakashi-sensei and Tsunade were awfully kind to me. Kakashi was like my second father. I was never truely happy. All smiles were fake, all laughs were false, and any traces of happiness were forged. I only opened up to Hinata-chan, Naruto-kun, and of course, Kakashi. They were my only true friends in life. The only trust worthy people that I knew I could turn to. Not a day went by that I didn't think of my parents...

(( I think that's good for now... :) I'll update later! ))
