Chapter One: Living the Dream

Waking up surprised me when the sun was out. I couldn't to wait to see what was happening in the outside world. The room that I slept in was neat to the point that the one speck of dust would send me in a frenzy state. I never enjoyed having a messy room unlike my brother. I was putting on one of my dresses that my dad or mother, I don't remember who, bought me. The dress was long and filled with ruffles that I loved. The color had a light leaf green color and a cute long yellow lace with a bow tied behind my back. I was glad knowing that I was old enough to dress myself and do my own hair the way I liked it. I pulled my semi-long hair up in a pony tail then put it in a bun with the sharp looking tips out. I gave myself one good look before I left my room.

I passed by my parent's room that was empty as always. The only one's living in the house was me and my older brother plus our body guards which I didn't get. My brother was eighteen and I was just seven. The age difference was always a problem between us. He was in school training to be a Jounin and I was stuck home still being treated as a five year old by the body guards. I walked down the stairs and then to the kitchen where a meal was already prepared for me. I yawn rubbing the last of the Sandman's special dust on my eyes. I sat down and ate with a dull look on my face.

Being trapped in a house with no fun would have driven me crazy but the fact that I could do anything I wanted to the two idiots who call themselves body guards kept me from crossing that line. I always imagined how my life could have been if my parents weren't so special to the Hokage. Why couldn't I be blessed with normal parents? I sipped the last of my milk then walked off to find something to do in this village.

I use to live here in this village called Kohona but I do not remember any of it. I spent most of my life in the Ocean Country. Back in the Country I knew people and I had friends but in Kohona I felt alone and I didn't know anyone except for my brother. Our parents were never around even when Aniki was born. He thought when I was born it would have gotten better but it didn't. They never changed. I think in a way he hated me because I was supposed to be the sister that tied the family together.

I sighed sadly.

Knowing that I was an utter failure made me quiet and extremely shy in this village. I remembered hanging out with the other girls around my age. They would have always kept me happy and I was always loud. Here in this village I was a shadow. I was the shadow of my brother. Some would find it a motivation to be better and be someone different but for me it was something I was ashamed off. Aniki knew it was always bothering me but he always tried to be nice to me.

I walked around the village and walked. The village was busy and always filled with people. It was nice to hear that the village wasn't dead or boring as they said from her friends from the Ocean Country. Kohona was not so bad but being not boring didn't change the feeling of being alone. I managed to find the school that Aniki went to. To me personally it had the appearance of a normal school. Nothing special about this school I thought to myself. Then something caught my attention. The sound of running footsteps spiked my interested. I followed the running footsteps and it lead to a small group of kids. Two kids had their kunias and shurikens out and threatening a younger kid probably younger than me.

Anger boiled up in me. I never liked seeing kids being picked on. I threw some rocks that I could find at them and told them to back off. The two kids looked at each other and stood up straight. To my surprise they were taller than I had thought. They had a grin as they let the other kid go and focused on their new victim…me.

"Fresh meat and it's the new girl in the village." The first boy said. He had his hair covering his eyes with a bandana over his head.

"Come here girl." The second boy said rubbing where the rock had hit him.

I stood my ground but my fear began to take a hold of my body. I took a step back and I hoped they didn't see it but when I saw them charging at me I ran. My dress blew backwards as I ran as fast I could. Where were those body guards when you need them?

I ran into open an open field. At the sight of joy knowing that people could be near by it was crushed when I saw a fence blocking my way. Only with a few feet more till I reached the fence I scanned an opening. I heard them yelling at me on what they planned on doing to me. The fact that my free space of running was coming to a close I found what I was looking for. A hole. I went on my knees quickly then went over. I cried out when my bow tie was caught by the second guy's hand. I let out a scream and kicked as hard as I could with my bran new sandal. I saw the blood squirt from his nose and onto my skin and dress but I didn't care.

The bow tie broke and I ran into the forest.

I kept running and running. I wouldn't stop. My dress was ruined and my hair was coming undone. I was a mess but I didn't care. I turned my head and slowed down.

"I…I l-lost them." I took in deep breathes. My upper chest felt tight with each time I took in air. I sped walk through the forest. I looked around and I realized that I was lost. Which way was my ticket out of here? I kept walking when I heard footsteps again. My reaction to it was to run.

I pushed away several bushes that cut my skin. My legs buckled under me and I began to tumble. The things I saw were going everywhere. Some went to the sky and others down to the ground. I couldn't help but scream as I went down the hill. When my body went to a stop I glanced up and pushed myself up from the ground. I sat down and shook off the debris from my hair. I was lost. Aniki wouldn't be able to find me or have any idea where I was.

The feeling of actually being alone scared me. I crawled up in a ball and cried.

It didn't take long for my pursuers to find me. I was going to get it. I shouldn't have left home. I opened my eyes to stare them in the face. They both had a grin on their face of satisfaction. I stood up and forfeited. It was the only thing I could think of. I felt splashes of pain on my face when their fists and feet punched and kicked me. I cried again and once again gave in to what they wanted. I balled my fists tightly as the beating continued.

When they were done I played the unconscious girl. They walked away with a laughter escaping their lips. I stood up wiping my blood from my eyes and face. I saw a tree branch few feet away from me. I grabbed it tightly and stood up. I ran up to them and took a swing. The first boy went down when the blunt object struck his head. The second boy turned around with surprised spilling over his face.

I gave him a bloody smile. My hands clutched the branch tightly again and ran up towards the other boy. He dodged the blow that was meant for him. I let out a scream of a mad person and felt a surge of chakra filling up my body. The sudden power felt good than anything ever before. I went once again towards him and with a speed that made me invisible to him I swung from behind. He went down with a yelp dodging it. I dropped the stick then pounced on him.

With my body filling up with unknown power I punched the boy with everything I had. It wasn't enough. The boy was holding on for dear life when I raised my fist in the air for the death blow when a gust of wind made a chill go up my back. I turned around to see his cold and unreadable eyes. The boy under me begged for help.

"Anko what the fuck did you do?" His voice was just as cold as his look. Aniki was pissed. I went up to him trying to explain what had happen but he didn't let me finished as he went to aid the injured. He wasn't alone. More people his age and older came from the bushes. They went to tend the injured and isolated me from them.

There was a man with them that caught my attention. He was tall and utterly beautiful. My eyes were glued when I was being taken by the ANBU. He had the most beautiful set of eyes. I tried to fix my hair to for him to have a better profile but the ANBU pushed me off in a hurry.

I sat down in a room with one of the ANBU staring either on me or into space. I was changed out of my torn clothes and into simple kimono. My hair was down to my shoulders. I was ashamed of myself. How could I get so out of control? Older voices came from the other side of the doors. I saw Aniki coming into the room and held the door open and gave me a 'lets-go' nod. I went with my head down throughout the whole time I where ever the hell I was. I heard the body guards that were hired for me begged Aniki to keep their jobs but in the end my brother ended up firing them.

We walked the rest of the way with no words. I knew he was going to wait till we got to the house. The lights were on which were odd because the idiots were fired. Who was home? The door flew open and I let out a loud gulp.

My parents were there standing from where they were sitting. Aniki gripped my shoulder tightly a something he use to do when I was in deep shit. I glanced at my father and began to hide behind my brother who was my only protection.

"Anko come here girl." My father voice scared me when he was mad. I knew what was going to happen. I fought over what I should do and then I knew. I gave a sigh and walked towards him willingly.

"Please stop she didn't do anything wrong! The two boys attacked her so she had the right to defend herself at all cost." Aniki spoke and pulled me back towards him.

"You don't get into this boy." Father shouted. He extended his hand out towards me. Aniki held me closer to him something he never did.

"You don't get into this my son let her get her punishment then we can continue to be a happy family." I felt my soul leaving my body as I pushed Aniki away. Who was I kidding? It was too late for Aniki to protect me. I knew what was going to happen. My father was not a man anyone should displease or my mother.

"Aniki its okay." I said with no emotion almost in a zombie state. I went to my father and followed him down into the darkness of the basement. I went into position and stripped from my kimono to show my back. I whispered myself telling myself that I would be okay. This was all going to be over. You're strong and you will survive! I whispered.

I didn't had to look back to know what was going to happen. My dad was never abusive to anyone but me. The black sheep they called it. The child that brought nothing but shame. I was their unwanted child. I closed my eyes when the Jounin prepared the heated barbed wire that was in a whip shape. I felt his eyes watching me laying on the chair that was used for the punishment. The other female Kunichi, my mother, strapped me down first starting with my legs then arms.

She kissed my forehead and whispered, "It's for your own good."

The Jounin touched the wire and let out a hissing sound. My body went stiff as my senses were well aware of what was going to happen next…

The older brother locked himself in the room. He couldn't believe that his parents would do it to her. She never deserved any of this cruelty. She never did. He felt sorry for his younger sister. He sat in his room studying some jutsu when he heard the screams.

It was small squeaky screams that were muffled from his mother's hands. The screams were always in rhythm. Three screams then nothing and then another three more screams then it died. It drove him crazy. He couldn't go ask for help because well he had no reason but he didn't want to. He felt he was bad as them. He didn't want to shame the family name any more than his sister. He had his parents to please and once he had enough money he would leave and take Anko with him.

He loved his baby sister but the fact that he had to pretend that he didn't to please his parents always made him sick to the bone. He loved how she reminded him of when he was young so full with life and energy to do anything.

When he saw Anko that morning he was pissed off at the boys who attacked her. He never saw Anko so beaten but also angry. She looked different with the blood covering her body. She looked evil maybe a little insane. He never seen that part of her and never wanted to.

The screaming stopped officially and he heard his parent's footsteps walking towards Anko's bedroom and placed her on her bed before he left. When he was sure his parents were gone he sneaked into his sister's room.

Anko was sleeping on her bed. She was on her tummy and her back was exposed. He closed his eyes when he saw it. Her back was completely destroyed. Blood oozed lightly from where his father had stroked her with the barbed wire. Burn marks were visible as well. He hated his family. He wanted to kill them.

Aniki reached up and placed his hands over her wounds. He herd Anko whimper at his touch. His hand glowed in a bright blue aura. He guided his hands up and down her back healing all that he could. When the wounds healed he felt happy. He noticed that Anko smiled in her sleep.

"I love you Aniki." She whispered in her sleep. At first Aniki freaked out when he heard her say it. After all that happened she still loved him. He felt sick again. He grabbed Anko's favorite plushy that was a snake and gave it to her. Her hands hugged the stuffed animal and smiled again.

"I promise you I will get you out of here." He vowed then leaned down and kissed her forehead. He left her room and went to his room where he thought of a plan on how he could save them both.
