Naruto: Shooting Star Chronicles

Chapter 1: As The Snow Falls

Nights like these could not be spoken with words. It was simply that breathtaking. It was truly the first snowfall of a lifetime, as it gently fell and made the bleak, dark land that of a pristine one. This was a sight to see, but only one of the many watching had only one thing on his mind.

The young father just simply glanced at his sleeping angel while he snuck into her room. He needed to say one last goodbye, and he knew he had to take this chance to say it. He only wished he and his daughter could watch the first snowfall together like they always did, but that wasn't going to happen. He knew this was going to be his last look at not only his daughter, but of the falling heaven as well.

Inoue just simply put a necklace on his daughter's neck, gently doing so, making sure she doesn't awake. A single tear rolled down his face as he took one last glance at his daughter and then to the falling snow. Outside the mansion window, he could see men. There were plenty that looked no good to anyone, but Inoue knew that it was time for him to go. Inoue could no longer endanger his own daughter, so he knew he had to settle this once and for all.

He then stepped out of the room, knowing good will come for his daughter someday.

"The stars shall lead you on for now on. Goodbye, Sam."

The door shut with a silent click.

Morning arose in the small town in Michigan. The snow was lightly falling, but it was cold as ever which is simply bad news for the young 11 year old that is still quietly asleep.

"Sam! You better get your ass up before I dump a nice, cold bucket of water on your damn head!!!" A noise so loud that even the deepest of sleepers would awake in no time at all roared throughout the home.

Sam just groaned in her sleep. She could care less if the cold air came in her room; all she wanted to do was sleep.

"…And I'm going to take all of your PSP games away, too, including your Kingdom Hearts game that just came in the mail!!"

That got her up. In no time flat, the young brunette was up and in the shower.

"……" The young girl could simply say as she began washing her hair.

Later on after about 30 minutes, she finally came down to her impatient foster mother, Jeanne.

Jeanne just snorted as she came down and turned around to making breakfast. Sam made a sour face behind Jeanne's back, but she could surely feel a dark aura as she was flipping the blueberry pancakes.

"Honestly, Jeanne, why must you torture me like this and make me WAIT until I get HOME just to PLAY MY GAME?!"

Jeanne just smirked. She loved to tease Sam like this, but she felt that she messed with the girl enough as it is, "Fine, fine, Sam. You Can have the game now, but I better not find out that you got your PSP taken away for playing it in school!"

No words were spoken in that moment, but Sam was lost as she zoomed right up to the secret hiding spot where Jeanne had hidden the game. Jeanne was just standing there with her jaw dropped, anger, just as quickly as Sam retrieving her game, took over her.

"SAM?! ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU HAVE BEEN THE ONE TAKING ALL OF MY CANDY?!"

Finally after a long argument with Jeanne, Sam was heading to school. She knew she was going to be late, so she decided to take a shortcut through an alleyway. On her way out the alley, though, she felt almost as if someone was watching her every move. Sam eventually brushed it off as she realized she only had a few minutes to arrive to class on time.

From the inner left side of another nearby alley, an elderly man, cloaked in black, watched in the shadows at the young, rebellious Sam as she ran her way to school.

"Soon, Yohsuka Sam, very soon I shall see you."

Sam, luckily, thought she made it to school on time, but knowing her luck (which she had none of 99.9995% of the time), she was actually late and attempted to sneak into homeroom.

She honestly felt like an idiot as she heard a voice instantly speak to her,

"Sam, you're late.........again."
