CHAPTER ONE- "Damn flashback."
'Splash! Splash!'
The full moon could still be seen through the hard rain. "You guys were great! My parents are the best rock..rockRock st-stars!" The young child said, trying to pronounce the sentence properly as she filled the bus with excitement. The adults smiled at her. Small mumbles could be heard about how cute she was. "She looks like her father!" "No, no, her mother!" Many protested, but all still playful.
The road soon became lumpy. The small girl swayed back and forth, side to side. Her baby blue eyes went well with her pure blond hair. A tall man pulled her to one side. "Better becareful! It'll cost a lot to get cha' fixed!" He snorted. His drunken accent could easily be recognized. "Not like your parents don't got the money n'all. "He finished with an evil laugh. The child wriggled out of his grasp and ran to the back of the bus. "Rain, rain, go away.." She began to sing.
"Ino!...Ino!" A small flick of rain water dropped onto the 19 year old's face. She woke up. "Gah! What in the world.." She shrieked out, but it was followed by a moment of silence as she opened her eyes, revealing her baby blue eyes, that glowed in the dark. "Must have fallen asleep...Stupid dream.." She mumbled to herself, thinking about the dream she just had. The dream of back when she was younger. As she looked around she noticed the friendly faces hidden in the silence. Everyone was smiling. No, not a normal smile, but a smile of sheer friendly evil. "Well? Roll up the window already!" Choji said, sitting in his corner eating a nice big fatty pack of BBQ chips. His drum sticks right at his side. The young blond sent him a glare that couldn't be dodged. "Geez..." She mumbled, while slowly rolling up the window of the small bus. Ino gazed at the rain outside with a sharp eye.
"It's raining...Just like it was when the accident happened.." She said to herself. Jen glared at the rain. Not for fun, but because it whispered something to her, over and over again.
"Failure"
