Title: A Dark Beauty
Chapter 1 All Alone
Description of you: You have long shinny purple hair, and your eyes are a light violet, and you are partial to wearing lots of black, with fishnet. :
It's quite. The only sound is the crackle of the fire in front of you. The tree's loom over you as if they were waiting for you to whisper a secret. You look up and see the moon, fully laminated, shining its blue light on everything around you. The forest is a peaceful place, unlike the bustling cities you used to live in. The forest is now your home your, free to wonder, free from rules, free from people, and free from…anything. You turn back to the warmth of the fire. You stare…….and dark memories start to return. A woman screams, fire roars, a building crashes. You quickly look away from the fire, and shut your eyes, hoping to wipe away the dark memory. You decide to get some sleep, after a hard day of training by yourself. Curling up in a ball on the "not so comfy blanket" the blanket has little strings hanging out of it, and it feel prickly, trying to ignore it, you feel your eyes get heavy and you start to drift off into a dream.
"Izumi, dinner!" "ok ma! You see yourself only 9 years old run down the stairs into the dining room. "ahh wow! Looks great! Yumm." You say with a giggle. You see yourself and your parents sit down to a nice dinner. You look so happy, and so does your parents, talking bout what training they did that day. Suddenly it happens. You see your mom, make a concerned face, as she sniffs the air. "Do you smell smoke?" she asks. You stand there knowing what's going to happen, you try to scream but nothing comes out, you run over to your mom, dad and yourself and start waving to get their attention but its pointless they cant see you. Your mom gets up and slowly walks to the side of the house, then comes back running screaming "the house is on fire, hurry get some buckets and water!" You see your parents scrabble for buckets. Your dad screams "Izumi get out of the house now, go get help!" You see yourself; only 9 years old run out as fast as your little legs take you. You fallow yourself outside. You try to scream, but only air comes out. "Run faster!" you think. But by the time your 9 year old self, comes back with help the house is covered in flames. You hear a woman scream, the roar of the enormous fire then…… the building collapse.
You wake sweating and panting. sigh You have had this dream many times before, always reminding you of your past. Tossing aside your dream you see the sun is up, it streaks the sky with light pink and orange. You wipe the sweat from your brow. You then get up and decide to start training for the day.Ever since you were little you were ahead of other children. Always at the top of your class, always the strongest. Growing up it wasn't any different. Always ahead of your classmates, and always training with your father. He is what got you so strong, always encouraging you to do your best. Training was practically your entire life, but you loved it. Now at the age of 18 you are stronger than you ever hoped to be. Your expertise is Taijutsu. Everyday you train for your parents, you remember how proud they were of you when you were little, and so you never stopped training as hard as you used to.
After the accident you left your village and never came back. You rarely came into towns; if you did it was for supplies and some food. "You don't need other people" you would often think to yourself, although at times you did miss talking to humans. Now all there is to talk to is squirrels, who had no idea what you were talking about and would often just stair at you while eating a nut --'
The day went quickly. Your hands and feet ached, and you were sweaty after training. So you went for a dip in the stream nearby, not very lady like but what did you care, no one was around anyway…..sept maybe a squirrel. After getting cleaned up you get some clean clothes on and start making a fire for the night. It's quite. Ever night was the same, only the crackle of the fire was heard. You soon start to day dream of your life as a child. A tiny smile runs across your face, as you remember the good times. That smile quickly disappears as you feel something is different. You don't move, you just listen. You listen for any trace of life in the forest….. You hear nothing. But still you can't shake this feeling like something, or someone is watching you. You peer through the forest brush, but still see nothing. You look up at the tree tops but see nothing. Your heart rate increases. You don't hear or see anything…but you know something is watching you…..and you were right. A few of ninja, about 6 of them come out of no where, almost like thin air "how did I not see any of these men?" you think. You spring into action. One throws a kunai, then another, you dodge both very easily one man attempts to go for your back but your too fast and kick him in the ribs. He disappears into thin air "shadow clones...or perhaps Genjutsu?" the other man throws about a dozen hari, you dodge all but one. It lands in your calf. You wince in pain, but don't bother with it too much. Quickly you jump in the air then behind one of the men, you kick his feet out from under him and elbow him in the chest, and this man also disappears. Suddenly you notice there are even more men than before about 13 now. "Why are they after me?" Your face twists in anger. You proceed to dodge all of there attacks, but the men keep coming. Every time you make one disappear 2 more come up. An hour goes by and the fight goes on, you're now covered in scratches and bruises. The men just don't seem to stop coming! You're exhausted. One of the men throws another hari, you attempt to dodge but you're too exhausted. It hits your arm, you wince. You quickly pull it out and throw it back at the man. The attacks proceed. Suddenly you feel very, very tired, the men start looking fuzzy, and you stumble side wise, but catch your ground. You fix your eyes to be clear again. Then you realize something is very wrong. Your look at your arm and see the spot where you were hit is a purplish color. "Shit! I've been poisoned!" You look back up at the men and all of them are slowly walking toward you. You try to move, but this just makes you fall over. You try desperately to get up but it's not working. The men all surround you….then they disappear…….."What is going on?" you think. Tilting your head up more toward the sky you see a pair of red eyes staring right back at you…then you pass out.
