A pair of dark orbs watches as the sky lights up with a fiery orange color, the high speed winds blows here snow-like hair. She only stared not saying a word, watching and waiting for something else to happen to happen to her child-hood home. With dry eyes she wipes some dirt off of her dark face leaving a bloody smudges in it's place. Nothing happened for the the longest time until a pale hand grabbed onto her shoulder "Little Sarabi..." Slowly her head turned, eyes widened in fear as to what punishment she might receive for her crimes.
Village Hidden in the Shadows
"It's snowing..." A girl with light gray eyes look up towards the sky dull-faced. Lifting her hand up to the clouds as a tiny snow flake landed gently into it. Suddenly her face lit up "It's snowing! It's snowing! It's snowing!" She yelled with joy, the other children looked up also and began to shout and play with small flakes. And as if the heavens had heard their joyful cries it let down even more onto the village. "Mommy,mommy! It's snowing!" The girl yelled as her short light curly hair followed bounced along with her pace. "Mommy!" "I heard you Arissa." Her mother smiled at her tall curly haired child. "Let's go play!" She ran towards the door "At least put on a scarf and some gloves!"
Arissa came to an abrupt halt and looked down at her short overalls black turtleneck underneath, dark blue knee-high socks, and black boots then look back at her mom pouting "But-" "No buts! go or no snow!" Arissa's eyes grew large knowing that this is a rarity in the dark village, that if anything were to come from the sky it would be heavy rain. "Yes mam", She trudged to her room. Arissa's mom shook her head for a moment and chuckled. Arissa ran quickly out of her room "Come on mommy!" They both ran out to the frosty weather "Slow down sweetie!"
Two Years Later
Arissa had just walked in from playing outside with what little friends she had only to see her mother looking down while the TV blared on about the ninja war. "Mommy? What's wrong mommy?" Arissa asked as she sat on the carpet near her mothers feet, laying into her lap.
"Mommy is sad baby..." Her mother kept a dejected look on her face. Arissa finally remembering her mother telling her that they could no longer live in the house she fondly grew in, also that she was no longer a chunin of the Shadow village. Without realizing it Arissa had said something that gave her mother hope, "Mommy I'm glad you aren't a ninja anymore..." Arissa said staring at the TV blankly.
Her mother in shock asked "Why sweetie?" Arissa looked back at her "Because then you might have ended up in the war and I would have missed you." Arissa's mother suddenly relaxed and smiled warmly at her. That in fact helped her move on and gave her a lot of hope though Arissa never realized that this was so powerful until her mother told her as she became older.
