Ch. 1

Cold, dark and dead silent.

That was what it was like while I waited for my mommy and daddy. I shivered not from the cold, but by the fear of being discovered.

I was under a large oak tree-leaning against it's bark and crossing my arms over my chest. I kept looking left and right for mommy's long black hair or daddy's short brown hair. Though I know they could handle themselves I was still kind of worried.

I turned to my left again to see two figures. I ran to them thinking that they had finally returned.

I stopped altogether when I saw not my parents. But two males.

There were three things wrong with this picture. One, they were Mist shinobi. Two, when they got closer to me I heard spine tingling, cruel laughing from their mouths. The third and most important was the swords they wielded.

One was white. The other was black. Both had blood on them. They are or were my parent's.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

I wake up in short breaths and drenched in luke warm sweat. I threw my sheets off and crawled on my hands and knees to reach under the bed. Once the feeling of metal was in my grasp, I roughly pulled it out.

Clumsily, I gripped a neckless with a key on it to open the large silver case. When opened I sighed with relief.

Laying innocently side by side was one white sword and one black sword.

'Good. They're there.'

I looked at my clock and it read ten after six. I had to wake up in 20 minutes anyway. The cycle of the morning began.

Ate my breakfast, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. My attire was a short sleeved, short skirt, yellow one piece Chinese kimono(Kind of like Kei Fu's from Negima) with black tights under it. I put on my black sandals and my hitai-ate around my waist.

On the headband you could see the symbol for the cloud village.

Taking the swords, I wrapped them in a green cloth. Tying the swords to my back by the waist, I looked at myself. The first thing I checked was my hair.

It was midnight black, flat shaggy with wild 'out of bed' bangs and it went past my ears a couple of inches. Next was my skin. Though not that pale it still made me ponder if I needed a good tan. I also hoped I didn't lose more weight,. I was already about ten pounds under. The final thing were my eyes. Blue like the ocean, round and child-like I wished they change to black.

'Just like mom's,' I thought a happy yet sad at the same time tone.

I grabbed a sandy colored backpack, locked the door behind me and went my way. I went as a genin and hoped to return as a chunin.

To travel as fourteen year old Kokoro Soma.
