Who am I?
Kamikaze (spirit-wind or light-wind)
.:Summary:.
I stood in front of my bathroom mirror. I ran my pale fingers around my strange flipped eyes asking myself the same question I asked everyday. "Who am I?" I have no memories of my parents, and can not remember anything about my life before I was 7 years old. I hear part of my brain call out to me telling me that I am a very special person. I want to believe it, but there is part of me that whispers something else. "You're a monster," it says and I listen to it. I have moved to Konoha in search for a place to belong. Unfortunately it seems I don't belong there. I just wish someone would see me for me and not the monster in the mirror. KakOC

.:Chapter 1: Memories:.
I kicked a small rock with my foot as I stood staring at my late uncle's grave. Just a coincidence they had all said. I frowned at the grave 'yeah right' I thought as familiar salty tears roll down my cheeks. It was a coincidence they said that my uncle got murdered in his sleep just because they "thought" that he stole a secret document.
"But they were wrong", I hiss though my teeth. No he had not stolen anything. In fact it was our neighbor who had the stolen document. My uncle is innocent, but that doesn't matter anymore. Without questioning him or searching the house they killed him.
'Because of me', for any other person they would have search the house, but they had wanted an excuse to kill him and this was a prefect excuse.
I know I'm different, that I'm strange. My uncle use to call me special, but I know he was just saying that because he loved me. I see it in the eyes of everyone that looks at me. The fright that makes them stays away when ever I go into town. I look weird and I don't know why. I have jet black long hair that falls a little pass my shoulders with pale almost ghost white skin. I have a weird tattoo on the upper part of my arm that is shaped like a tilted silver rose with a single drop of blood at the end of one of the petals. There are vine coming from the rose that go round my arm creating a ban. These things are not what make me strange or uncomfortable to be around. In truth I used to be the prettiest girl in town. It's…my eyes. They're not normal. My eyes use to be black like my hair, but not now. Now my iris and pupil are silver, and strangely enough my sclera is black. It's kind of like someone flip my eyes around; making the inside silver and the outside black instead of the other way around. My uncle had said nothing of it, only that it was suppose to happen.
Ever since my eyes changed things started happening; for one thing I lost all my friends, and all the elders in the village started acting weird around me. They treated me like I had the plague or something saying that I am a bad omen. People started beating me up and calling me names. I hated it. I mean come on it's just my eyes I had thought till someone took it too far.
I had been on my way home till some gang showed up and decided that they wanted to beat me up. Of course I had no way of stopping them so they started beating me.
I was lying in the dirt crying as they punched me, kicked me, and cursed at me. Then I started to go numb and felt something talking to me. I didn't know when but I blacked out. When I came too I was standing with blood all over me and the things around me that turned out to be the dead bodies of the gang that had attack me. I had been scared knowing that it was me that had done it, but not knowing how I had done it. I had run only to fall in the forest landing in a huge puddle. When I looked down at my reflection I saw me, but with the vines from my tattoo all over my body. I had passed out only to awake to the village leaders staring down at me. I was questioned, and then mysteriously sent home with no punishment, but I was wrong to think that I was free. That night they murdered my uncle.
I tighten my fist as I look into space thinking about those painful memories only to feel something in my hand. 'The note', I thought surprised. I had totally forgotten! The only thing they had found on my dead uncles body was this note. Looking at it now I remember that the only reason they gave it to me was because they for some reason they could not read it.
'Hmm…I wonder what is in it?' The note was just a piece of paper folded in half. The problem lies within it. Opening the note for the first I found out that it is blank except for a seal of a sliver rose.
'What the…? That looks a lot like the tattoo on my arm!' I quickly roll up the sleeve of my shirt and gaze at the sliver and black rose on my arm. 'They're the same!'
"Hmmm…I wonder…" I said taking my two first fingers and placing them on top of the seal.
Instantly the seal disappeared leaving a rough written note.
Dear Kiki,
By the time you get this note I will most likely be dead. I know that it will be hard on you, but you must know they just don't understand and that frightens them. There is not much I can tell you for I am short on time. You must know this: your last name is not Uri and I'm not your real uncle! I know that I lied, but trust me when I say that it was for your protection. I love you and I only wanted to help. Your real full name is Kamikaze Konketsuji S…
"S" what?!" I read and reread the note over and over again but finding nothing else except a single drop of blood under the note. 'They killed him. They killed him before he could finish the note.'
My body started to shake even more than it had when I found my uncle dead in his room. I could feel the power start to spread though my hands and feet, making me feel invincible! 'I need to hit something', at that thought I swung around and hit at the nearest tree. A mile around the tree got blown to bits leaving nothing but a huge pit in its place. As the energy left my body I sighed I'm going to get in trouble for that later.
"They'll probably use that as an excuse to kill me", I said bitterly looking up at the now setting sky.
"Guess I better head home", I took one last look at my uncle's grave before walking home.
