Prologue
I can still remember chocking on blood; Tusnade's piercing scream echoing over the battle field, as the peaceful silence of death overcoming me seconds. I should have died then. Hell, I wanted to die then; an honorable death it would have been too, saving someone I had loved. But, as my green eyes blink open at the sunlight once again, I lived… Ugh…
A huge roar shattered windows, knocking people off their feet, as a huge fox emerged from a giant smoke cloud in the center of the village. The roar had drowned out all noise, people ran past me and time seemed to slow.
"Ugh… Ma…? Ma!" I cried out as my yellow yukata had turned red from my mother's blood. Her body had lain motionless next to me, arms falling off of me from where they had protected our fall. I pulled myself up and pushed onto her chest. "Wake… up… Wake… Up! (Sniff)" I had huffed and then yelled in tears, trying to perform CPR as best as I could with my tiny body. But, as my heart refused to accept, my brain knew it. My mother had left me alone; I didn't want to be alone again.
"Don't leave me alone…" I sobbed, the remains of the Yuki compound lying around us. Dad's head lying right by my leg, he had pushed me and mother out of the way before we were killed, as the rest of his body was crushed by out compound's gate. But, I had been the only survivor.
"A... AM... AMY!" A loud deep voice had echoed over the debris around me. The smoke and ash in the air made it hard to see anything or anyone anymore. But, I knew it had to be my uncle. He was invited over for my birthday, some birthday that turned out to be…
I had wailed, snuggling my head further into my mother's chest. The wet silk of her kimono stuck to my face as rapid footsteps approached me. A sharp intake of breath was all I had been given before I had felt two big hands pick me up, ripping me away from the empty, limp embrace of my mother. I struggled to escape the grip, not wanting to leave her, holding on tighter. I was afraid of being alone again.
"Amy, Oh my kam- Amy we need to go!" Uncle's deep voice had yelled in panic. A loud roar shook the ground again and he had given a hard pull on me, detaching me from my mother, as his large arms wrapped around me. I fought against his hold until collapsed into his chest.
"I want mama...hmph!" I screamed into my uncle's robes as he held my head to his chest, preventing me from witnessing anymore horror as he ran through the chaos and explosions. I quieted down and tried to let him think, he needed to get us to higher ground where the rest of his clan was hiding. It would be the safest place to be.
"Open the gates!" He yelled.
The guards yelling hurt my ears as they hurried to open the concrete gate, which protected the estate, as their head of the clan entered the estate safely, me in hand. His face paled when he gazed down at me, face and clothes were likely covered in my mother's blood, before a big bang had told us all that the gates were closed.
"Airi!" Uncle had screamed.
"Hai, Hiashi-Sama!" A young woman yelled, a green yukata making her trip, as she came running out of the main house towards us. Her long black hair swiping the wind behind her, white eyed gaze locking onto me in his arms, as she came closer and froze.
"I need you to take care of her for now and make sure she is safe." He had ordered, passing me to the young woman. I had sat emotionless in her arms, numb green eyes unfocused, as my uncle lightly pulled a lock of my hair behind my ear with a grim face.
"Yes, Hiashi-sama..." Airi had replied and bowed deeply, taking me into an underground shelter. The rest of the clan's women and children, who were not ready to fight or were not fighter, had likely been taken there for safety.
"Hiashi-Sama, the nine-tails is attacking The Forth Hokage!" One of the clans guards had yelled before the door to the shelter had been shield shut. I and many others waited nervously for the terror to be over. No matter how many times I had seen it, violence would always make me feel horrible inside. I hate it…
"What happened to mama and papa?" I had asked Airi after the horror was over. Airi and I had stood side by side; looking over the destroyed village threw the collapsed compound's gate wall.
"They are gone Lady Yuki, everyone... is gone…" Airi had held in a sob as she said that to me. I silently had grasped her hand without a word. She had given it a tight squeeze in return. Nobody spoke a word.
I refused to let myself come back to my reality until I had grasped Airi's hand. My name is Jona Peirce, now none as Amy Yuki, and I am cursed to never die until I have helped three souls find peace. But, so far, I have lived for over three centuries in this world and have only saved two souls.
'I guess it's time then…' I thought, gazing up at the clear night sky that slowly filled with ash clouds.
The time to help the last soul has come…
I couldn't wait.
A/N- Hey, I have been dealing with shit that sucks ass and have found the files of this story, which I had lost earlier this year on my old laptop. I read your comments on this story over and over again, and I have decided to keep this one like the original and make another story for the other version of The Sunflower Sannin. So I am happy to say I'm back people!
