Hey everyone, I was just inspired for this little one shot, This is my first time writing a one shot so please review and tell me if I did okay, enjoy!


I woke with a start, sweat covered my forehead. Everything lit up and then flashed back to darkness. It was around eight pm. Getting up from my bed I tied my now long pick hair back into a low pony tail and walked toward my large double sized windows. The light flashed again and soon came the expected roar of thunder, or was it the other way around? Placing my hand on the window I gazed out and sighed. I always enjoyed thunderstorms,
but the whole mood of it made me a bit depressed, I kept remembering that day when Kakashi-sensei went out to retrieve Naruto from his battle with Sasuke, it was raining then too.

I heard the pitter patter sound on my window. it was raining, pretty heavily actually. Thunder roared, lightning flashed, pulling up a chair I sat and watched it all. I heard everything,
people gasping, fearing that they were going to get struck my the ongoing lightning. By now The wind was blowing fearsly, many ninja and medic were scattering around getting everyone back into their homes where it was safe, after all, this storm wasn't expected, lightning country might be behind this, though I didn't believe that. I should be down there, helping everyone as well but I stayed put, mesmerized by the scene that played before me, it was if nature was dancing.

I clasped my hands together, suddenly feeling the reason to pray, and I did just that. I prayed for the people's safety, for the parents to get home to their frightened children and I also prayed for myself, a selfish wish concerning the load of papers that will be waiting for me to go through in the morning. My mind went back to last year, I was off in tea country for a bodyguard mission with Naruto and Kiba. We were supposed to guard the leaders children. It rained then too, I remember the children's frightened faces as they hugged each other and sat in the corner of the room, afraid of the thunder.
There was a song my mother used to sing to me whenever there was a thunderstorm, so I sang the song for them, I watched as their eyes slid clothed into peaceful slumber, I turned to find that my fellow "guards" were asleep as well.

I continued to watch the storm, closing my eyes, watching the lightning flash through my eye lids. My ears picked up the sound of rain, and thunder. I started to sing.


Little child, be not afraid

The rain pounds harsh against the glass

Like an unwanted stranger

There is no danger I am here tonight

Little child

Be not afraid

Though thunder explodes

And lightning flash Illuminates your tearstained face

I am here tonight

And someday you'll know

That nature is so

This same rain that draws you near me

Falls on rivers and land

And forests and sand

Makes the beautiful world that you see In the morning

Little child

Be not afraid

The storm clouds mask your beloved moon

And its candlelight beams

Still keep pleasant dreams I am here tonight

Little child

Be not afraid

The wind makes creatures of our trees

And the branches to hands

They're not real, understand

And I am here tonight

And someday you'll know

That nature is so

This same rain that draws you near me

Falls on rivers and land

And forest and sand

Makes the beautiful world that you see In the morning

For you know, once even I

Was a little child

And I was afraid

But a gentle someone always came

To dry all my tears

Trade sweet sleep the fears

And to give a kiss goodnight

Well, now I am grown

And these days have shown

Rain's a part of how life goes

But it's dark and it's late

So I'll hold you and wait 'til your frightened eyes do close

And I hope that you'll know

That nature is so

This same rain that draws you near me

Falls on rivers and land

And forests and sand

Makes the beautiful world that you see In the morning

Everything's fine in the morning

The rain will be gone in the morning

But I'll still be here in the morning...

I smiled, singing that always made me feel a little better inside. I looked out the window and saw that things started to calm down a bit the rain was just a drizzle, the thunder was still roaring, but gently, and there was a light gust of wind.
