***READ THE UPDATED NOTES I HAVE ON MY FANFIC PROFILE***

INTRODUCTION

Zellie talking: My friend (Lanae) and I (Zellie) are writing a story together. She has never written a story before so this mostly her writing it and me helping her. She is using my fanfic account because she doesn't have one. And the reason we want to talk about this story is because, she ( Lanae) wants people to contribute to this story.

Lanae talking: So what that means is that when a chapter is up, please review in the most honest way.. Tell me what you want in this story and things I wrote wrong and everything.. Because I don't want Zellie to help me too much. (and if you hurt my feelings, by being sincere with my work, don't worry I'm not a crybaby)

Zellie talking: So thanx everybody and the chapters will be ever other week or every Sunday…

Sincerely,

Lanae and Zellie

Hey y'all. This is my first story on fanfic and I'm a little nervous about it because Zellie told me it was a little boring. Hope you guys like it :) *crosses fingers* Bold sentences are somebody's thoughts in Emiko's head.

Chapter 1: Memories Part 1
Present day

I remember being happy.

I remember my mother, my father, my baby brother...I remember my life, how it was so carefree.. how the only thing I wanted was the approval of my father. And the smiles of my mother. I remember wanting to be just like that but it all changed one day.

And my life became nothing but despair and anguish, sorrow and sadness.

-Here I am 18 year old, Emiko Namikazi, and still thinking about that day. My mom told me to be happy and to not let anything get in my way. But I just can't, everything was taken away from me. I can't make anything right...

Everything is not gone... and you know that. Go look for him and be happy just like you mother wanted you to be. I will always protect you, you can always count on me. "No." I say firmly, and I faltered for a second. Sadness taking over my heart "I can't do anything."

Oh, so stubborn sigh I guess it can't be helped.

"Why don't you get out of my head and keep your thoughts to yourself!" I told her angry for letting try to talk me into this again.

-humph "Suit yourself!"

My thoughts drift into a dream, not just any dream, but the dream I've gotten every night for the past 10 years of my life, how it used to be, how my life was, in the middle of my soul I feel that yearning I've felt since everything was taken away from me. Then, slowly my thoughts drift to my best friend, Yuuki… even now I still look up to her. I let out a chuckle, while I lie on my bed thinking of how we thought of each other so much. I looked up to her and she looked up to me. yawn Even now I wonder where is she? Where is Itachi and Kakashi? Where is my brother?….

I fell asleep thinking about my happiness… my nightmare…-((Emiko 8 yrs. Old…Yuuki 9 yrs old….. Kakashi 11 yrs old… Itachi 12 yrs old))

10 Years Ago

"Yuuki-chan shut up, if you keep talking they will find us!" We were standing behind a big tree on the training grounds just out side the village.

"Goodness, Emiko-chan, your so mean, you know were just training it's not like my brother's gonna kill us.! I mean my brother and Kakashi aren't that scary. I don't know why you take this so seriously!"

My bestest friend in the world, Yuuki.. I always wanted to be like her. But one thing that really drove me crazy was her non-stop talking.

"Will you please STOP TALKING!" I yelled at her.

She looked at me with big watery eyes.

Oh no.

"Yuuki-chan I didn't mean to scream at you. I … I …."

Oh no I have to stop yelling at her. God, she is so weird why doesn't she cry when other people yell at her? Or when she gets beat up by Itachi?

"I'm sorry Yuuki-chan I didn't mean to yell at you it's just that sometimes your talking gets really annoying."

She sniffled and all of a sudden she gets a little smile on her lips. Huh. That was fast. She stopped crying pretty fast. Weird.

"Found you" he whispers into my ear, chuckling.

"Aahhh! Kakashi this is so not fair, you could hear Yuuki-chan a mile away, You should fight her not me!"

I start to turn and than I see Itachi there just smiling at us. He knows someone is going to get beat up and I'm here thinking It's not gonna be me!

"Okay."I say totally calm. "If any of you lay a single finger on me, I swear I Will not hold back."

Kakashi and Itachi's smiles get bigger.

Then I turn to see that Yuuki-chan is also looking at me her grin so wide that it's scary. Why does everybody want to fight me? If they want a good fight they should just go to my father… oh well, I guess they are going to get their butts kicked and my mom won't give them any cookies.. hopefully.

I really don't feel like fighting so I'm just going to have to take them down all at once. I took out my Kunai Knife and disappeared as fast as I could. Ha-ha they didn't see me. Thank God, my Dad taught me how to do this, it has become so useful, but for some reason I can never get away from Itachi. That's when I heard her for the first time.

"Darling, you can't escape him because he has the Sharingan …., if you let me help you WE can beat all three of them in a matter of seconds. What do you say?"

I stopped right in the middle of my attack on Kakashi, my eyes wide with shock and fear. Kakashi stood there just watching me, a concerned look in his eyes. I heard him tell Yuuki and Itachi to stop.

"Ha-ha don't act so shocked to hear me I've been with you, your entire life, I know you can't feel me just yet, I can't let you feel my presence or else I'll hurt you, but when you get stronger you'll be able to feel my chakra."

My response came out in a whisper. "Who are you" I asked. From the back of my head I heard Kakashi ask me if I was okay.

But I didn't pay any attention to what he asked me because all I could hear was that voice chuckling.

"I am somebody who you will learn to rely on, now do you want to beat them?

"Beat who?" I asked her in my head.

Hahahahah "The people who are standing in front of you, staring at you with really wierd looks on their faces. That's who."

With that said I didn't hear her anymore.

That's when I finally focused on three faces staring at me like I was crazy. "What?" I asked them.

"Ummmm, you where kinda spaced out for a second. Are you okay?" Itachi asked me.

I didn't know what to tell them. That I was hearing voices in my head? No. They would definitely think that I'm crazy. So I gave the best response I could give, "Uh, yeah, WHAT KIND OF PERSON DO YOU THINK I AM? DO YOU THINK I'm CRAZY? HUH? HUH! ARE YOU GOING TO ANSWER ME OR ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE THOSE RETARDED LOOKS ON YOUR FACES?"

By the time I was done I was breathing heavily and they were looking at me like I really was crazy. That was not the response I was hoping for.

I just told them that I was going to walk home and lie down. They nodded and I turned to leave.

I walked slowly, and I was thinking to myself that I'm 8 years old and I'm hearing voices in my head. That's not supposed to happen till I'm as old as Grandma Tsunade. Then I started thinking about my attitude, the way I go off on people when I feel uncomfortable.

My dad always says not to show any emotions especially when fighting a strong opponent, but I can't help it, I hope I get better at it when I'm older. My thought become all jumbled up together so I focus on the trees and the wind.

I kept walking and I thought of my mom and brother just thinking about them brought a smile to my face. The voice in my head was forgotten for now and I started running home, wanting to see my little brother.

As I entered the village, I was greeted with the usual and occasional "Lady Hokage, how are you today?" or "Little Lady, don't run so fast!" I was used to it, with people treating me with respect even though I was just 8 years old.

I kept on running, thinking about nothing in particular when I saw Grandma Tsunade and Uncle Jiraya and as usual an evil thought occurred to me, so I shouted, "Grandma Tsunade, how are you?"

I saw her eye twitch as she turned to stare at me. Next thing I knew I was in her arms in a headlock and I couldn't breath.

"You little twerp! how many times do I have to tell not to call me that!"

I was slowly edging for unconsciousness when I saw Uncle Jiraya trying to pry Grandma's arms from around my neck. "Tsunade! let her go! You know she just likes playing with you!"

She let me go and I could finally breath. I was on leaning on a chair while I heard her yelling down at me, " You will call by my name or you will not talk to me at all! Do you understand what I'm telling you!"

"Yeah... I got it... Grandma." and I started running for my life,

"You little... !" I heard a loud cracking noise behind me, I knew she probably destroyed the wall.

I wasn't looking where I was running when I bumped into my dad. I fell to the ground , my lungs burning and my head aching.

"Did you piss off Tsunade again?" he asked me, holding back laughter.

He picked me up and started walking.

"...No."

"You can't lie to me." he chuckled "Your just like you mother, always pissing people off."

"Grandma Tsunade started it."

"Your lying again." I put on my best pouting face and said," Okay, fine I did start it but it's so funny when she gets mad."

"You think it's funny when she leaves you unconscious?"

"Um.. no?" I replied.

I noticed that we weren't going home, we heading away from the village getting closer to an old abandoned building. There were few trees around it and a sign in front of it that said -No Entrance- "Why are we here?" I asked.

"We need to talk to you." his voice was completely serious.

"Who's we?"

"The village elders and I."

He was still carrying me, when we got to the front of the big building. He entered the room and I felt surprised to find that the inside of the place was really nice. The walls were painted and there was a big round table in the center of the room where all the elders sat talking to each other. My dad sat me down next to him and looked at them. I could feel the tension in the air surrounding us.

They all looked at me, like expecting me to say something. "hi" I said timidly.

"There is no need for you to act shy in front of us, Little Lady." The old man with the weird looking hair told me.

The next one to speak up was the old lady that was definitely older than Grandma Tsunade.

"You are probably wondering why you are here. Am I right?"

"Yeah." I answered

"Well, today we felt a chakra, not an ordinary chakra but one that hasn't been felt in hundreds of years. You probably didn't feel it but we did."

I didn't like where this was headed, usually old people take their time in everything even explaining little things. sigh "Can't you just tell me why you want me here?" I asked.

"You are here because that chakra came from you." I had no idea what to think. "What? I'm 8 years old how can a chakra that's over one hundred years old be felt, coming from me?"

The old Lady looked at my father and I saw that he slightly nodded as he started talking to me. "Emiko, a little after you were born, we felt something inside you - no not something but someone." I knew my face looked like a big question mark.

He started to explain, "Long ago, when there weren't any ninjas that could use ninjutsu or they didn't have chakra. Girls from royal families were born with incredible chakra, different chakra than the one we have today. The girls were trained to use that power to protect their kingdom. We have little documents on how the used that power but nothing much. It is said that one princess, Kimi-mai, the most powerful in history, could heal hundreds of her people at the same time, or kill thousands with a mere burst of her chakra. We felt her chakra today and it was mixed with yours."

I sat there thinking how all this that they were telling me made no sense. "How can you tell that it was her chakra, if you guys said earlier that no one had felt that chakra in hundreds of years?"

They sat there looking at me when out of no where the third Hokage, Sarutobi, came in with a little gold box. The box had a red dragon imprinted on it, it was adorned with sakuras and butterflies with jewels all over them, but the thing that captivated me the most was the dragons eyes, they looked like they were staring right through me.

Sarutobi smiled at me and sat the box right in front of me "Open it." he told me. I did as I was told and inside that little box was a small floating crystal ball, it was glowing a faint red color and inside the ball little ribbons were twirling around. And out of nowhere I had this strange but strong impulse to touch it and when I did the faint red turned to a dark glowing red. "It's true-it's her.'' My father whispered.

I was staring at the ball so intensely that I didn't hear my father call my name and tell me to drop the ball. He had to pry it from my fingers and when I lost contact with the crystal ball, I blacked out.

I woke up in my bed with my mom sleeping by my side. I just lay there looking out the window, looking up at the stars.

Okay, first chapter done and the second will be better, unless my writing skills really suck, then I probably won't bother putting up another chapter unless people actually tell me they like this story... so yeah. please review. and If you have any ideas you think might go good with this story please PM me:)

Lots of Love,
Lanae^_^
