Into the past

Story One: Bedtime

The sky over the hidden leaf village had grown a soft midnight blue and everywhere in it people were settling down for a good nights rest. One small family in particular was also getting ready to say there goodbyes like they had so many times before.

" Is my little girl comfy?" Koji Uchiha says sweetly, almost baby talk. The small child that he was referring to giggled fiercely, her sky blue hair pulled into two small pigtails.

"Story, daddy!" Kurakay says. Koji smiles and laughs. It was the least he could do for her since she would be waking up to a nanny in the morning.

"Okay, what story do you want to hear? " Kurakay's face twist into a mask of thought. It then brightens with a smile.

"You and mommy. "giggles Kurakay. Koji sighs but quickly puts on a smile. He should have known this was coming, it was her favorite. His eyes glance toward a frame featuring a young female ninja with cream colored hair that went down in waves to her waist and pure white eyes just like the ones his daughter so graciously inherited. He looks back at Kurakay, snuggling a stuffed animal and patiently waiting for the story to begin.

" Good choice. Now Let's see…I had just gotten my first mission for the month and it was to be a A- ranked. I wasn't worried since I had gone on many before but the Third insisted on back up. That's where your mom comes in." Kurakay's eyes sparkle at the mention of her mother.

" At first your mother and I didn't agree. She wanted to go left I wanted to go right. She wanted to do a sneak attack I wanted to ambush. We were total opposites. When I think about it, it's a surprise that we ever got along."

"But you lover mommy, right?" Kurakay interrupts. Koji laughs and nods his head.

"Of course, I just didn't see it at first. I think I was actually jealous of her for awhile. She was so graceful on the battle field using her Byukaugan. I was just pure brut force. But at one point in time, I feel in love with her." Koji stops for a moment, getting a hold of himself. He didn't want to cry in front of Kurakay.

"Go on…" Kurakay pleas.

" Sorry, just lost my place was all. After a couple years of missions and training I finally asked her to marry me. She said yes. It did bring up a lot of conflict with both of our clans but we held through and soon you were born."

Kurakay giggles. "Yay Me!!!" she says happily, clapping her hands together as if just finishing a great movie.

"Yes yay you. Your mother and I took some time off from missions to raise. Only she…"

"She went to heaven with God and know she's a angel. Right daddy?" Koji looks at his daughter and sees pure innocence in her Hyuuga white eyes.

I hope she never loses that sense of innocence and bliss… He thinks to himself. He then leans down and kisses her forehead.

"Yes, she's in heaven now and she's the most beautiful angel of all."

Kurakay lets out a sleepy yawn and lays down on her pillow.

" Night daddy." She says sleepily, her eyes already closed. Koji turns off the lamp that illuminated the room and walks quietly out.

"Good night, my daughter."
