Remembering the Lost

Written by Dancer of the Shadows

"Seikyuna Kanari, this is an A-rank mission, this is the file please read it and report back to me, immediately."

Seikyuna Kanari bowed to the Raikage before disappearing and reappearing inside of her small apartment. The apartment itself on consisted of for rooms, those being a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The house wasn't decorated very much and there was nearly an inch of dust covering almost every item in the small loft. Kanari sneezed loudly as the dust began to rise from the floor. She looked around her eyes surprisingly morbid for a 15 year old girl. She walked over to a dark blue couch that at most could maybe fit two people on it at most. She glanced at the small chestnut table sitting directly in-front of the dark blue couch. There were three pictures on the left side of the table and the large envelop that held her mission. Her eyes lingered on the smallest of the pictures it was in-closed within a dark red picture frame, with dust gathering at the edges of the frame and glass. The picture itself was of a little girl standing next to a younger version of Kanari and two boys. The first little girl had bright platinum blonde hair with dark blue eyes she wore a yellow sundress with blue and yellow flowers printed all over it. The younger version of Kanari looked to be about six years old, she had curly blonde that was slowly fading to brown; it was shoulder length she was smiling with a childlike innocence in her glowing dark blue eyes. She also wore a sundress but this one was dark blue with red hearts on it. The younger Kanari was holding the hand of an 8 year old boy who had dark brown hair and brown hazel eyes. He wore light blue shorts and a white shirt, he was also grinning towards a 10 year old blond and blue eyed boy; his hair was slightly messy but he looked like he was having fun none the less. That picture was taken nine years ago, five years before everything happened.

Kanari was walking home from playing at the park with her friend, Amerika. Amerika was nearly 8 months older than Kanari yet she was slightly shorter and lankier. Amerika or Amari as she was called by Kanari had long brown hair that was wavy and was barely down to her waist. Amari also had big bright hazel green eyes that seemed to shine brighter than the sun. Her skin was perfectly tan and flawless save for the occasion scars caused by stupid things she had done in her younger days. It was around 4 PM on a hot summer day and Kanari was wearing a light blue thigh length skirt with a pure with T-shirt. She was smiling brightly even though she had to walk an hours distance due to the fact that her house was located a mile out of town. Kanari had walked home on her own for as long as she could remember, her mother and father raised there children to be independent and cunning. And Kanari was the epitome of independence, she didn't rely on anyone fore anything, she was very resourceful and even at a young age had decided she would be ninja, and no one could change her mind. She was also as her name stated very brash, she didn't like being told what she need to do, and it irritated her, which caused her to snap in an uncontrollable fury. This had died down over the years but she still despised being told what to do.

Kanari was smile instantly dropped when her house came into view; she was very observant of the surrounding air and could detect small differences in the air. And she could immediately feel the difference of the air. She could instantly tell that something was wrong. That something was terribly wrong. The small dark blue house was silent oppose to the normally loud noise you could hear from the dogs and 5 other people living there. She began to run towards the house and when she got close enough she burst through door of the house. When she saw the devastation the house had endured her eyes widened and tears began to flow down her face. Her whole family was lying on the ground.

Dead.

Their faces were covered in either there own or each others blood. Her father's body was barely recognizable due to the fact that it was so heavily mutated. Her mother had three slash marks in the back and a hole protruding from her neck. Her two brothers were lying on each other there bodies half burnt and covered in blood. He sisters was by far the worst, her long blonde hair was sprawled out over her face dripping with blood. Her body had long streaks of blood running out of her arms and legs, while her face and neck was bruised a deep purple color. Tears tracked down her face as she lay there looking like a broken angel in her white night gown.

"Mama, daddy, boys, Teisha? H-hey. Get up!" She said her voice nearly cracking slightly.

"They won't wake." A deep deadly voice sang from the shadows, Kanari turned her whole body quivering in fear and anguish.

Until she faced the man fully, he had brown hair and dark russet skin and malicious gold eyes. He wore camouflage pants with a black shirt and a green jounin vest on top of it. He wore the trade mark Iwagakure headband, it was wrapped around his head in the usual position. Kanari took a frightened step back when she realized that the man in front of her was probably the one who did this.

"W-who are you?" She asked through her tears, a large grin broke out on his face as he bent down to the ten year olds level and poke in soft terrifying words.

"My name is Takichi, and I'm the one who's going to kill you like I did them." He flicked his head over in her families' direction.

His smirk began to grow even wider as Kanari began to shake even more violently and in a sudden movement she bolted. She ran through the door and into the forest that surrounded her house. She didn't dare to look back; she knew she was abandoning her family and her heart broken even more with every step she took as she made an attempt to escape.

A futile attempt.

The man, Takichi appeared in front of Kanari as she tried to slip past some trees to get even further into the dark forest that her mother forbade anyone from entering. Something that never stopped Kanari from entering it whenever she could. However, she had never gone in deeper than the river that was located only 60 feet into the dense forest. But this time she hadn't cared, she ran across the small wooden bridge that connected the two separate lands together. It was then that Takichi intercepted her, Kanari screamed in shock as the cruel man appeared in front of her. He grinned devilishly and grabbed her arm causing her to flinch and bent down to whisper in her ear.

"You Seikyuna Kanari are the last of you pathetic clan, and soon it wont even exist anymore."

The man then pushed her back and she fell back into the shockingly icy waters, Kanari's eyes widened in fear as the cold fluid filled her lungs. And she tried to paddle her self to the riverbank. However, she had never learned to swim correctly and the current was gaining the upper hand in her struggle. Kanari's fighting began to die down and as she began to lose consciousness she cursed the foul man who dared to hurt her family.

She was found nearly dead on the river back three miles down stream seven days later.

And for six weeks she lay unconscious, dreaming of the future.

Kanari snapped out of her memories when she heard a loud erratic knocking at her door. She bolted up right and impulsively grabbed hold of her katana. He katana consisted of a gold blade with silver swirls traveling in every direction, the guard was a four pointed star that was shining silver and the hilt itself was black with cerulean blue diamonds on it. She released the blade when she realized who it was; sighing in relief she sauntered over to the door. She opened it up gently revealing her best friend Amerika. Amerika now had jet black hair that was still to her waist. She also still had her hazel-green eyes that no longer held the same innocence they one had but still shined brighter than the sun. She wore a thigh length light blue skirt over a shorter fishnet skirt and an all black V-cut T-shirt that had the symbol for Kumogakure outlined in blue on the front. She also wore knee-length black kunoichi boots. She was grinning madly at Kanari as she walked past her and sat down on the dusty blue couch.

"Jeez, how long have you been gone? This is just plain pathetic, she then picked up the envelope, new mission?" She said flippantly as she glanced at the envelope curiously.

"Yeah, I guess but you know I just got back they could have given me a break." Kanari said through clenched teeth.

"You're right 'Nari they could have at least waited a week or so."

"They'll work me to death if this keeps up."

Kanari laughed while grinning, Amari grinned at her and the opened the envelope taking out the small paper and reading it over quietly.

"Well, I guess they won't work you too hard.

"Why? What is it?"

"Information, You're going to Kirigakure to find information on some man named Gagonaki Kairakenei."

"That simple?"

"Seems so."

Amerika went home soon after and Kanari went to get ready for some well needed rest, she let down her platinum blonde hair that cascaded down her back in beautiful corkscrew curls. Her dark green eyes stared at her reflection for a long while, simply wishing the long scar that travel from the bottom of her right side in a crescent line down to her lower left hip. It was thin and barely noticeable against her peach skin but she also seemed to loathe it existence. After taking a long hot bath Kanari went to sleep in her giant dark blue bed that was positioned against the left wall of her room, right next to the window causing the thick moon light to pour in making Kanari look like an angel. She slept soundlessly through the night not noticing the silver-haired man stare at her through the window while adjusting his round glasses.
