Authors note: Thanks for stopping by to read my story Somethings never change but there are things about this story that I want you to know, partly because I don't want you to get confused and hate me and, partly because I'm tired of rewriting sentences over and over again thinking 'Oh they wont know what I'm talking about'. I'm sure you guys wont get confused but just incase I'm taking this time to explain. Ok first off if I go OOC I probably don't mean to but sometimes I have a hard time making a person in character and move along with my story so there's your reason. The people I have the most trouble with are Orochimaru and Kabuto. I'm not quite sure why. Maybe I hate them so much that my personal view of them have stopped me from seeing how their characters really acts…or maybe I'm just weird! Lol! I don't know which. Anyway I do like 2 or 3 time skips but it's all for the good of the story so trust me okay! I WILL MAKE THIS STORY WORK! Oh and please don't flame me! The first chapter might be a little ruff simply because I don't know how to start it so bear with me. Okay now that we are all on the same page I'm going to get some chocolate so please read this and review! PLEASE!!!!
Somethings never change
Prologue
Hitomi loved sitting by the water. It always reminded her of her favorite person in the world. Her father. He had gone away for the war and left her behind. She felt so completely alone without him even though her mother, Hana, and her little sisters, Yuri and Yuni, were always there to make her smile. Hitomi was so close to her father tearing her apart inside, but she put on a happy face for her mother and little sisters. Yuri and Yuni still lived in blissful ignorance of how much danger their father was in. After all they were only 5.
Hitomi was having SO much trouble coping with this. Her grades were slipping because she refused to do her homework and the other 10-year-olds began to make fun of her, calling her stupid. Hitomi stopped talking in school, even to her friends, which caused her teachers to worry about her. All she did was sit by the water, eat, and sleep. Occasionally talking to her mother and sisters.
Today was no different. Hitomi gazed into the icy water of the pond behind her house silently begging for her father to sneak up behind her and put her on his shoulders like he always did. His words rang in her head…
Flashback"Father! Were are you going? Why is Mommy crying? What's going on, Father?" Hitomi said giving her father a questioned look, as tears formed in her eyes. Her mother almost never cried as and when she did something bad was happening and it was freaking this 9-year-old out.
"I'm going away for a while, Tomi. I need to protect my land, my people and my family. So be good for your mother." Her father tried to look his worried child in the eyes but he couldn't. Not when she was on the verge of balling her eyes out.
"When are you coming back, Father?" Hitomi look at her father with huge eyes filled with tears.
"I don't think I am, Tomi." He told her quietly so Hana couldn't hear him say it again. He hugged her and walked out the door, leaving Hana and Hitomi crying and the twins playing in the sandbox.
End of Flashback"Hitomi suppers weddy!" the twins shouted running up to her. They always made her smile. They hadn't quite learned volume control so they were always really loud without realizing it. She nodded and told them she would be there in a sec so the happily frolicked back to the house, their arms spread out like airplane wings. Hitomi decided that she wanted to be on time for dinner today so with one last look at the water she stood up, but lost her footing and fell back into the icy water of the pond.
Now Hitomi was a good swimmer (she had been taking lessons for years) but for some reason it felt like she was being pulled down by something and, being cold and tired from a hard day at school, Hitomi eventually gave into the water and was pulled under. Before she passed out from lack of air to her tiny lungs she saw a flash of light and thought 'Oh god I'm gunna die!'.
