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.
