disclamier- Yay! I don't own naruto (I rele rele feel bad for the author)

What's going on? Its so dark, I can't see anything… I can't move… no feeling, no light, nothing… I must be dead, yes that must be it. I never though dying would be this empty… Well, it was fun, but I guess this is it, This is the end…

I sat in a class room the lights were dim and the air felt tense. I was waiting for the results from the finals we had recently taken. The ones that everyone dreaded and if you failed you wouldn't be able to leave the academy and become a ninja for Sazanami village.

"Mayali Takara?" the teacher asked.

I hastily stood up and looked at him "Yes?"

"You Fail!"

"BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!"

I felt my eyes open and I slammed my hand on my alarm clock. "Ah! I hate mornings!" I moaned, burying my face in a pillow. Well. . . At least it was a dream, I thought.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!"

"Ah!" I yelled chucking the alarm clock into the wall. I sat up and looked at the broken alarm clock lying smashed on the floor next to the many scrolls that covered my floor. I slowly made my way across the room to my dresser, hoping I wouldn't crumple or break anything in the process.

I grabbed some clothes and headed into the bathroom. After changing and brushing my teeth, I ran a brush through my hair. I looked at my medium length, brown hair and thanked my friend who had talked me out of chopping it all off and then insisted on cutting it herself. Maybe she overdid it with the layers in the front, I thought looking at the unevenness of my bangs.

"It looks nice dear" my mom said. She was rolling up one of the scrolls that had been on my floor. "Sana's downstairs waiting for you," she said, "and when you get back I want this room spotless."

"Okay mom" I muttered hastily rushing down the stairs. I stopped to put my shoes on and I looked at my "lazy" sleeping brother. He had probably fallen asleep on the couch late last night. Neesan may be lazy, but he's a good ninja.

I stepped outside and walked off the porch to catch sight of a impatient blue haired girl waiting for me on the sidewalk. "Sana!" I yelled to her. She turned and looked at me, she was tapping her foot now.

"Cmooon! We're gonna be lateeee!" she whined.

I walked over to her and stuck out my tongue "Don't whine so much, we'll be fine." After that she just hung her head and mumbled to herself about how mad sensei was going to be that we were late again.

Despite Sana's prediction, we made it to school on time; in fact, we were early. Sana went to go get some juice from the vending machine while I walked into the classroom and sat in my usual seat. I looked over and saw my friend Tashu walking over to greet me.

"Hey Maya," he said "You excited about the results from our finals?"

I cringed and rested my head on the desk "No."

Tashu grinned and put his hand on his head. He was probably looking for the words that might cheer me up

"If you fail it wont be that bad, all you'll have to do is graduate next year and then spend the rest of your life with people you don't know" a voice from behind him said; it was my other friend, Ryoga. I glared at him then put my head back on the desk and tried to pretend he wasn't there.

Ryoga and Tashu acted like they looked. Tashu had straight short blonde hair, he was the nicest person I knew. While Ryoga's hair was long and pin straight, his hair was almost black and he always wore a hat or bandana. Ryoga was not the nicest person in the world.

"Look who it is. Mayali Takara, the demon girl"

I looked over and there was Sapphire Hirata, the class bully, with her other friends. "Go away Sapphire" I muttered tapping my finger on the desk.

"Scared you'll fail freak?" she asked.

I opened my mouth when I heard a crash, somebody scream, and a splash. I looked over and saw Sana on the ground an empty cup in her hand, she looked like she was either going to cry or break out laughing. "Nice one Sana" I said laughing.

Sapphire was covered in juice, it was all in her hair and on her clothes. Yuck.

"You two are gonna pay!" she yelled storming off to the bathroom

The bell rang and we all took our seats. The teacher began to talk and I zoned out. Blah blah blah. He caught my attention when he started to pass out envelopes with our names on them. Hesitantly I opened the envelope and pulled out my scores.

Takara Mayali:

Physical- 85%

Exams- 80%

Results- Pass

Squad- 12

I sighed. All my worrying was over nothing, I passed. Sana immediately took my paper from me and read it.

"Awesome!" She yelled "You're in the same squad as me and Ryoga!"

"Ryoga?" I muttered

"Yeah, Ryoga's on squad 12 too."

I looked over my shoulder then walked over to Tashu.

"What'd you get Tashu?" I asked.

"Squad 3" he mumbled.

"You seem upset about it. What's wrong with squad 3?"

He slowly raised a finger and pointed at sapphire. "She's on my squad."

"Unlucky bastard!" Sana yelled. She was laughing her head off

"Sana Aida!" the teacher yelled, "Watch your mouth!"

Sana's laughter abruptly stopped "Yes sir" she said.

"Sometimes," Tashu said, "I really don't like Sana"

My mother and brother were proud of me and we had a big dinner to celebrate. After the excitement had died down I decided I would take a shower. The water was warm and it felt good on my neck. I stepped out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel.

I walked over to the mirror and began to brush my hair. I stopped and looked at a crescent shaped mark on my shoulder. I lightly ran my finger over it.

When I was little my dad used to tell me my mark was special, it was unique, and I was unique. I used to think it was special. At least, until my dad died because of it.

Three years ago my father was murdered for trying to protect me. The killers were two S rank criminals that I later found out belonged to an organization called Akatsuki. Their mission is to catch people like me who are possessed by demons, a Jinchuuriki.

I always knew I was possessed, that's why kids used to pick on me and why adults would shun me. But until my dad died I didn't care.

Now things are different. I reached into the medicine cabinet pulled out some cover up and put it over my mark. "I wont let anyone see my mark ever again."
