(She is only three in human years and in her home village it is not uncommon to find a mate by the age of three. Also she did NOT have the kids as a human she gave birth in one of her animal forms)
~Kiba
Darkness surrounds me. It seems that no matter where I go the darkness follows. No matter how much I fight it that's all the people of my home village see in me. They don't see the little girl who is alone without a friend, but when I walk around in a different form they see someone who is strong and stands up for others. I pity them because they are too stupid to see the real me the friends that I have in this form are people who mock and laugh at the girl I really am. My sensei's says that they are jealous of me because I am already a Jounin and am a great leader. For now my life is something that I am more than happy to be in because I am the youngest leader in the history of my clan and of my village. I have the pleasure of watching my children growing up strong and I have my mate by my side.

"We mustn't let the chosen one be injured my friends we must protect her," a red haired warrior cried out as he decapitated an enemy. A fire raged in the background casting light on a gruesome seen. The fighting continued as a figure slipped out of the burning house in a cloak. It skillfully avoided the fight and met up with three other cloaked figures before they fled toward the gates of the city. They ran as fast as they could but five lionesses appeared before the fleeing figures blocking their escape route. Two of them had tear stains on their faces and the others had a deep anger in their eyes. They stood there and glared at the figure that had run from the burning house.
"Step back please," the figure requested, but the lionesses just growled deep in their throats. "Please let us pass I don't want to hurt you guys," the figure requested one more time trying to get the lionesses to back down. This just caused the two with the tear stained fur to roar in fury at it. The figure gave them a look that said "I'm sorry" and remover the hood revealing two very dark red eyes that put all of them in a genjutsu. "I'm sorry," I whispered before putting my hood back on and continued on our way.
"Where do you think you're going demon?" a boy, about the age of seven, asked after appearing in a cloud of smoke.
"You! Teme! How dare you show your face to her after what you did," the cloaked figure who was standing next to me yelled at my ex-deputy. I knew from the voice that it was my mate, Bloodtigerheart. I clenched my fists knowing that we wouldn't be able to get by him as easily since he knew about my Sharingan eye. I took a deep breath and relaxed my body.
"Oh, don't worry she won't have to look at me for long because I'm going to kill her right here and now," he said glaring at me like I was some piece of dung that had been thrown at him. He suddenly launched himself at us and we barely had time to react before he connected with my mates' jaw sending him backwards and away from us. He threw another punch, at me this time, and I ducked under it seconds before it would have made contact with my jaw. I delivered a few quick punches to his abdomen before jumping back and away from him. He dropped to the ground holding his abdomen with a grunt of pain. I rushed over to my mate and gently lifted him up to his feet.
"Thanks love." I smiled at him and we continued on our way to the gate. Just as I put my foot onto the other side we heard a whistling sound. I turned around and saw a katana coming right at me and I tried to drop to the ground and found that my body wouldn't respond to my orders. I closed my eyes when the katana was less than a foot away from me. I waited for the pain of the sword piercing my skin, but it never came. I fearfully opened my eyes to see that Bloodtigerheart had taken the blow for me. I stared at him in shock and he just smiled at me before he started to fall forward.
I caught him as he fell forward and held him to me as his life slowly drained away. "I l-love you too much to see you die here. Please run and take care of our young children," he whispered to me before taking a shaky breath and coughing up blood on my cloak. "Please my love. Take this opportunity and escape." I just stared at him and let the tears flow down my face. I felt him gently push me away into the waiting arms of one of my older brothers, before he turned around and charged at my ex-deputy who had a smug look on his face. My brothers took off before I could see what had happened, but I knew that my mate was dead when the link between us broke.
[A few months later in the desert of Suna]
"I won't let you hurt him," I said running at some people who where bullying a small red haired boy.
"You're going to protect him?" the boy yelled at me.
"Yes. Tell me what has he done to deserve this? Well I'm waiting for an answer," I said glaring at the other children for hurting him.
"Don't you know? That thing is just a monster! It's not human!" another kid shouted at me. I was taken aback by what he said because it made me think of the time that my mate stood up for me.
"So what?" I asked the others who looked at me in shock."I don't see a monster. I see a child and if you don't leave him alone I'll make you," I said with my arms thrown open to protect the boy with a hard look in my eyes. The one that appeared to be the leader had a hesitant look in his eyes before it hardened and he threw a punch at me. I caught the punch before it could make contact. The boy was really surprised to see that I had caught his punch and hadn't given any sign that I was going to block it.
"Big mistake kid," I growled out before I let loose a howl. The others looked confused before they heard an answering howl that was close by. I smirked at the kids as they shook with fear when they heard a roar join the howl.
"L-let's get outta here," one of the girls said before she turned and fled. The others soon followed her example and took off. The lead boy looked terrified that I was going to keep him there and let whatever was coming get him. I looked at him in disgust and let go of his hand and watched as he fled from the playground. I turned around and looked at the boy who was crying into his arms.
I frowned and walked over to him before asking,"Hey are you all right?" He looked up at me startled that I was talking to him. "Hey it's all right. I scared away the mean kids," I said giving him one of my real smiles.
"Y-you're not g-going t-to r-run away a-are y-you?" he asked me with a scared look in his eyes.
"Of course not silly. Besides you're the first person in this village that I don't hate already," I said ruffling his hair in a friendly way.
"R-really?"
"Yeah. I look at you and see someone who wants a friend." He looked at me for a second shock clearly showing on his face. He opened his mouth to say something when I heard a soft thump and heard him gasp. I quickly turned around and launched myself onto the intruder, pinning him in a few seconds.
"You really need to work on your speed and stealth," I said playful to the animal I had just pinned to the ground. I got off and walked back to the boy, while the animal got up from the ground shaking its fur.
"W-what is that?" the red head stammered. The animal stood and shook off its coat revealing black fur with one white forepaw and blood red eyes just like mine.
"That's Bloodeyes, a very powerful friend of mine, who also happens to be a wolf. No Bloodeyes he isn't the reason that I called you here," I said with a smile at the wolf. The kid gave me look that asked "Are you crazy?" I gave a laugh and said," I can understand animals. So you don't have to give me that look." His face just changed to say "O" and I gave another laugh.
"Come on it's starting to get dark let's get outta here," I said extending my hand to help the kid up. He took it, albeit after a little hesitation, and I pulled him to his feet. We started walking away from the playground. I walked next to him until we came to the road that led out of the town. I stopped and said a quick good-bye before turning to head up the road that to the gate.
"W-wait! Where are you going?" he asked giving me a funny look.
"I'm heading back to my house," I lied.
"No you're not. You're heading out of the village aren't you?" I looked at him stunned that he knew I wasn't really headed home.
"How did you know?" I asked narrowing my eyes at him.
"That's the only way in or out of the village," he said like it was obvious.
"So what if I'm going out of the village it's not like it would matter," I said turning my back to him and walking away.
"Well I guess you're right. I mean look at what you did today. You summoned a wolf to aid you and saved me from those mean kids, so I guess it won't matter. But at least tell me what your name is before you go," he said as I walked away. I stopped and looked back at him.
"My name is Whitetigerstar. What's yours?" I replied to his question.
"I'm Gaara. Can we meet again tomorrow?" he asked. I thought about it before I turned around and gave him a smile and a nod of my head. He smiled and turned around to head home.
(((2 years later)))
"Gaara I have to leave the village," I said without looking at him.
"W-why? Is it something I did?" he asked me pain clear in his voice and tears in his eyes.
"W-WHAT! No! Gaara you didn't do anything. It's just that my brothers have some business to take care of and I don't know when I'll see you again," I lied. "Listen can you close your eyes for a sec I have a surprise for you." He gave me a worried look, but hesitantly closed his eyes. I walked behind him and removed a necklace from my neck and put it around his neck.
"Okay you can open your eyes" He opened them and looked down at the necklace with a confused look on his face. I rolled my eyes and gave a small laugh at his look. "This is a special necklace that will protect you when you're in trouble," I told him. He smiled at me and gave me a hug.
"Thanks, Whitetigerstar. But how will I know that you're the real you the next time we meet?" he asked looking me in the eye. I hesitated for a moment trying to decide whether I should or shouldn't tell him. I finally shook my head with renewed determination and put my hands on the spiked chocker that I wore around my lower neck. His eyes widened when he saw the black marks (on the right) and the white marks (on the left) on my neck
"Gaara if I have theses stripes on my neck and I can prove that secret power that I shared with you then you'll know that it's the real me," I said with complete seriousness in my voice. He smiled and nodded his head saying he understood. I smiled and gave him one more hug before I ran out the gates to catch up with my brothers. 'Gaara I promise that I will return to you someday' I thought to myself.
