Inside is What Counts

I ran and ran and ran until my feet swelled tiredly. There were brown smudges on my face, arms, and legs. My shirt was tattered and my shorts were cut to about mid-thigh. Instead of the open-toed shinobi shoes I usually wore, I wore a pair of tennis shoes I found at the back of my closet. My usually straight shiny brown hair was matted and tangled on my head while my bright brown eyes held fear. "There she is!" I gasped in surprise at how fast they were able to find me. I made five clones of me and ran off, them separating and focusing on them. I felt two clones taken down and screamed as I slid down what seemed to be a grassy area into some gates. The rest of them were gone, so I ran into the village and hid in between two homes, not sure if anyone would notice me here. After a while, the three ninjas past by and I crawled out of the crack, heading back to the gate. I looked back, them finally noticing me leaving, and groaned as I bumped into someone hard and squishy. I looked up and saw a pair of the biggest breasts ever! "Lady Tsunade, you have her! How can we ever repay you? Alright, you little wench! It's back to the village with ya!" Flashes of my own sister and mother being raped in front of my eyes made me scream and cry. "Get away from me! I-I don't wanna go back!" The blonde woman raised her hand and knelt down, placing a hand on my shoulder which was turning blue from the bruises covering my body. "Don't let them take me… I don't wanna be next…" She sighed then looked at Kotetsu, ignoring the three complaining ninjas. "Make sure that she is bathed and dressed properly. I will make her a citizen and ninja of Konoha." I looked up at the woman named Tsunade then hid behind her as a man with spiky hair and a bandage on his nose stepped out and gave me a gentle smile. "I'm Kotetsu. There's no need to afraid, little one. What's your name?" I stepped out shyly and looked at my tennis shoes kicking the ground. "I am Hitomi Akane, sir." He smiled and lifted me in his arms, holding me to his chest just in case those ninjas would try something. "Lady Tsunade, I respect you and your wishes, but this is unacceptable! She cannot become a ninja! She has no chakra!" Right after he said that, one of my shadow clones came out and socked him in the face before poofing away. "That was an excellent example of why you're a liar. Get out of my village." One left but two stayed, demanding that I go with them immediately. Tsunade's vein on her right temple appeared and she punched them so far and so hard, they flew through the forest back to the village they resided in. "So, Hitomi, let's get you all cleaned up." I nodded and buried my face in his chest, the other villagers looking at me as if I were the plague. I always did feel different than others everywhere I go. Kotetsu took me straight to his house and let me shower. The little beads of water cleansed not only my body but the nervousness in my heart. After I showered, he gave me one of his towels while covering his eyes. I had full respect for him and he just returned it by not ogling over my breasts, which was not supposed to be a 34C for a 17-year-old. He let me wear his clan shirt and smiled at how big it was and how well it hid the areas that did not need to show. "Well, you can stay here until Tsunade finds you a place. No looking through my things though. Got it?" I nodded obediently and he chuckled, placing a hand on my shoulder and leading me to the kitchen. "Good. Now, how about I make you some nice warm miso ramen?"
