OK so this is my first story so criticism is appreciated :D!
I don't own Naruto. I only own Yumika.

Yumika ran across the training field, jumping from tree to tree with grace.
At the same time she threw shuriken cutting the dummies heads off one by one, in a short matter of time.
"Ha-ha! You missed one!" Naruto, her blonde, goofy, comrade, yelled and pointed at a lone dummy standing untouched in the middle of the field.
Sasuke stood there smirking at the dummy 'ha you see she isn't better than me'
As Yumika stood back into a normal stance, she smiled at Sasuke, and the dummy exploded, its limbs landing in different corners of the training field.
Both teammates stood there awestruck with mouth wide opened.
"W-what just happened! Is that even possible!" Naruto yelled running in circles in his confusion.
Sasuke on the other hand just recomposed himself and 'hn'ed' at the girl, her navy colored hair swayed back and forth as she walked to the bench that held her water bottle.
"Of course it is Naruto I used an explosive tag attached to a shuriken" Yumika said as if it was plain and simple. But the truth was it was hard to do it, she had write the tag quickly with enough time to be attached to a shuriken and throw it fast enough that it was unseen by a spectator.
"Wow! That's amazing Yuki-Chan" Naruto said running towards her
"Thanks Naruto-kun" she smiled and laughed as the blonde in the orange jumpsuit picked her up into a hug
Sasuke flinched at their closeness but knew It wasn't worth being jealous over, they had been friends since they were young.
" Ha! I even surprised the famous Uchiha!" She hugged him from behind and shook his hair
He walked away from her to hide his blush.
"Oi! What time is it" she said glancing at a clock as if it would respond to her "Oh man, I'm late!"
She began sprinting towards the exit when Kakashi-sensi popped up in front of her. Her silver haired teacher was frowning under his mask.
"Hey you disturbed my reading with this!" he said hitting her over the head with a dummy's arm and again with his perverted book.
"I'm sorry!" she said rubbing the top of her head" "but I'm going to be late so I must go"
"For what?" Naruto said resting his arms on top of her head 'why do you mock my shortness'
"For a date" she teased throwing Naruto's arms off of her sending him falling back.
"A what?" Naruto yelled in shock
Sasuke joined the group after he heard that.
"A friend date…Gosh you guys, why do you look so surprised I could get a real date if I wanted to." She flipped her bangs out of her face for emphasis
"sure you can" sasuke said in a sarcastic tone patting the smaller girl on the head
"I so can you duck-butt!" Yumika said while she ran out of the training field
Yumika walked home and entered her small apartment, it was empty like usual. She had lived by herself for a few years now, since she was 14, two years to be exact.
The only reason why she is alone was because her parents abandoned her when she was only 9, after receiving a curse mark from her worst enemy…

Flashback (Yumika p.o.v)
when I was younger, I stayed home by myself a lot, due to my parents being Anbu's and all.
On this day, they had gone on a mission together.
"Make sure you work on our special move, your work will pay off and you'll be the greatest ninja who ever lived." My father hugged me; these were the last kind words to me.
My mom hugged me as well, I would have held on longer if I knew it was the last hug from her. I smiled and waved as they waved back after putting their masks in their place.
That same night I went out to buy milk, running to the corner store down the street, knowing it was dangerous to be out in the dark; and the sun was quickly setting. On my way back, Mothers called in their children and the street was getting empty. I was wishing that my mom could be here to do the same, when I accidentally bumped into a tall man in a long dark cloak…
"I-I am so sorry." I stuttered an apology to the man when I took a look I noticed he was a snake like man. I couldn't move no matter how much I wanted to. He looked at me surprised… my feet started working and I tried sprinting away. I didn't get even a foot away before I was grabbed by the collar and thrown to a wall.
"Your chakra is abnormally high and I can tell you can possess much more chakra than this!"
I struggled, trying to get out of his grasp, kicking and flailing in my failed attempts...

Yumika stepped into her shower and collapsed from the pain of the memory. She sat hugging her knees on the bath's floor and let her tears flow with the running water above her.

(Flashback)
I managed to escape him but he quickly grabbed me by my waist and tapped the lower section of my back. It felt as if he sent 1000 needles into my skin. I screamed in agonizing pain no matter how loud I screamed, no one came to my rescue. The pain finally subsided, he kissed the spot he marked and turned away.
"I'll come back for you my sweet, not tomorrow but soon", he said as he walked away leaving me on the floor panting leaning against a wall.
When I was able to stand I ran all the way home and cried all night, praying my parents will return soon. Three days later my parents finally returned already informed of what had happened. They both looked at my mark and sighed shaking their heads.
"To think we had such a weak, stupid, daughter is disappointing. I thought she'd get stronger with training, but she couldn't even run or defend herself." my dad said
"Now we are shamed because IT'S cursed, what are we going to do with IT."
I never would have imagined a mother could use such words towards her own daughter
"We'll talk about that later let's go"
They each looked at me with disgust and left me in the room alone.
That night they went on another mission... Or so I thought. Instead, I found a note saying to get out of the house before they return. Along with the note was a check for a hefty amount of money. They disowned and left me with a month to pack my stuff and leave. I packed all the clothes I could carry into a bag. Yet, I stayed in the house for the rest of the month. But, I soon grew tired of being insulted and even physically hurt by the people who used to greet me with kind words. So I finally left. I walked out of my village, I walked with my head held high even though they cheered, 'the the cursed demon is finally leaving!', and even throw rocks at me.
i set off to find a new village, where no one would know I'm known for being a 'cursed demon'.

Yumika pushed the painful memory aside, and stepped out of the shower to get ready. She got dressed in her usual tan cargo pants with a navy blue tank top. She slipped her matching navy blue sneakers on and tied her headband on to her left hip. Yumika took a deep breath and walked out the door and headed towards the Ramen shop where her and her friends usually meet up.

OK I know it's not much but I will update soon :D
