"Come ON Naku! It's not much farther!" came the voice of a young red haired girl with pale green eyes.

"But Sahara... Mummy said not to go past the gate!" her twin called back, shaking where she stood as she twisted her long black hair in her hands like she always did when she was nervous.

"Are you really gonna listen to her for the rest of your life and be a goody two shoes?"

A much younger Naku bit her lip and whined softly before following her twin sister out of the gate and down the road to the forest near their wandered for an hour through the growth before Sahara came upon a pond that was glowing silver beneath the surface.

"Look Naku!" she called, tugging her sister's sleeve. "It looks just like the one daddy has! You'll help me get it, won't you?"

Naku shook her head and stepped back "But Sahara... Mummy says..."

"Mummy says a lot of things!" She shouted back, shoving her younger twin. "Mummy this; Mummy that! She's all you ever talk about!" Sahara stormed off into the water, wading in until it was up to her stomach.

"Sissy please... I don't like this at all. Let's just leave it here and have Daddy come get it later. PLEASE Sahara" she begged.

Sahara laughed and bent down, reaching for the glowing gem beneath the surface of the water. Once the gem was in her hand, she grinned and held it above her head. "See, Naku? I got it!" her voice was so triumphant and proud as she held the gem above her head.

Maybe that's why she didn't see the water bubbling beneath her feet or see the tall vines that rose from the bottom of the pond behind her.
But Naku did. Naku saw them rise and surround her twin, wrapping her tightly and dragging her under the water. "N-No... NO! SAHARA!"Her scream echoed in the silent forest as she jumped into the water and ran to the spot where her sister had just stood. "Give her back! Please! Please just give her back!" she pleaded with the water, her tears dripping into the pond.

Having given up hope of ever seeing her sister again, Naku crawled out of the water sobbing and curled up on the ground, shivering and hiding her face in shame.

A/N This is something I wrote up for an rp. The characters are my own and are of my own creation. Also, this is set in the past of the Naruto Series.
