A/N: I have written so far two stories that I hated and dropped. I apologize to those of you who read The Story of Yoshinobu Namiko and Uchiha Aiko's Fate and liked it. I hope that this story will not be dropped again and please enjoy! I accept constructive criticism but no insults. Thank you!
Chapter 1: First Life
I was born as Kimberly Nagasawa, my English name. Nagasawa Kiyomi, my Japanese name. Nothing special except for the fact my parents and siblings were known sommeliers. I was the outsider.
I had loving parents and siblings but they often agitate me by pestering me that I become a sommelier like them. Only one never bothered me about it and that was my older sister, Nagasawa Namie. She was a sake sommelier and a fan of anime just like me.
The two of us were very close and we both never missed anything that relates to our favorite anime, Naruto. She frequently bought me anime souvenirs when she goes traveling or anime conventions. She was a free bird while I was a caged bird.
However, that free bird was shot down one day. I cried so much when I heard such news. She had cancer and I never noticed. Her smile lied to me.
The pain of losing her left a scar and I lived with that scar until I was in the last year of high school. I died in a car accident.
Surprisingly, when the impact of something hard hit me I felt numb. When I dropped to the ground and blood pooling out of my head, I felt like laughing. I had a feeling of freedom. A feeling of hope that I can finally find Namie in the midst of darkness that never left my heart.
I was wrong. I was dropped into a world of war very much like my old one. Naruto became my new home and I officially became Aburame Erisa.
