Chapter 1: Start of an Avenger
Kiari Hikawa was the last member of the Hikawa clan because of a huge massacre of the clan that was caused by Itachi Uchiha when she was seven years old. Kiari was now eight years old and was on her way to the Ninja Academy while ignoring the stares of those who stare at her as if she was a freak or monster because of her condition of being half fox. Kiari was wearing a long light blue shirt to cover her orange and white tipped fox tail, white leggings, light brown ninja sandals, a white hat to cover her orange fox ears, and was carrying a brown shoulder bag to carry her supplies.
"There she is, the fox child." One man said to another person as Kiari walked past them and was able to hear the man due to her sensitive hearing.
Kiari never liked how the villagers treat her like an outcast, but the third Hokage was one of those who treat her like a person, not caring what she looks like. He was nice enough to give her an apartment for her to live in since the massacre and some money for her to buy herself some food and water. Once she reached the Ninja Academy, Kiari entered the classroom and tried to find a place for her to sit, but the rest of the students tried to occupy the seats next them because they didn't want her to sit with them. She found an empty seat on the top left corner of the room as she walked her way up to it. Kiari was then tripped on purpose by another student as she fell on her hands, and her hat came off her head and revealed her fox ears that were the same color as her shoulder lengthed hair. Her classmates started laughing at her as Kiari grabbed her hat, put it on and ran out of the room, passing Iruka.
"Kiari where are you..." Kiari was already out of the classroom before Iruka was bale to finish his question as he faced his students. "Okay class, I want you to review yesterday's lesson until I get back."
With that, Iruka left the classroom while his students either did what he told them to do, or just started to fool around.
Kiari was at a random training area crying until she heard someone coming as she took out a kunai from her bag and stood in a fighting stance. She prepared herself to fight as a blonde haired boy, who seemed to be the same age as her, walked out of some bushes.
"Shouldn't you be at the Ninja Academy right now?" Kiari asked as she stood in a normal stance and put her kunai back in her bag.
"Shouldn't you?" The boy asked as Kiari looked towards the ground with a sad look on her face as a tear streamed down her cheek. "Hey why are you crying?"
"I don't want to go back there because the other students will tease me again." Kiari said as she tried wiping away her tears while the boy walked up to her.
"But why would they tease you for? Was it because of something you did to them?" The boy asked as Kiari slowly shook her head. "Then why would they tease you?"
"Because of this." Kiari said as she removed her hat, revealing her orange fox ears. "They'll tease me because of my fox ears and I bet that you'll start teasing me too."
"Why would I tease you because you're different? After all, you and I are alike." The boy said as he placed a hand on Kiari's shoulder.
"What do you mean?" Kiari said as the boy lifted up his shirt halfway to reveal some seal on his stomach. "What does that seal mean?"
"It means that I have something sealed inside of me that's making the villagers treat me like an outcast. I'm not really sure what was sealed inside my body, but it sure scares some of the villagers. The boy said as he pulled his shirt down as he held out his hand. "See, we're both alike and should be watching each other's backs right?"
"Yeah. I guess you're right." Kiari said as she placed her hand into his as they started walking to the Ninja Academy. "My name's Kiari Hikawa by the way. What's yours?"
"My name's Naruto Uzamaki, and I'm going to be the next Hokage someday so people will actually respect me. Believe it!" Naruto and Kiari reached the academy and entered the classroom as they got in trouble by Iruka-sensei.
Naruto and Kiari sat next to each other after being scolded by Iruka-sensei as Kiari started to think about what Naruto said his goal was.
Flashback…
"I'm going to be the next Hokage someday so people will actually respect me. Believe it!"
End Flashback…
'Naruto seems to have decided what his will be, but I haven't decided on mine yet.' Kiari lost her train of thought as the class bell rang, meaning that it's time to go home.'Since I have nothing that can keep me living, I can't figure out my goal.'
Kiari walking to her apartment until she was almost scratched by a kunai with a note attached to it. Kiari picked up the kunai and was able to smell a familiar blood scent that still stunk up the kunai.
'The blood scent that reeks this kunai smells familiar' Kiari thought to herself as she read the note that was attached to the kunai. 'If you have no goal, then make your goal to avenge your clan's death. The blood scent that reeks this weapon belongs to the blood of your family that I killed a year ago.'
Kiari had a shocked expression on her face from that last sentence she just read as she read the rest of the note.
'In order for you to accomplish your goal, you must train to be strong enough to kill me. You must despise those who share my clan name. You can either cling onto life and hide like a pathetic coward, or grow strong and become an avenger. – Itachi Uchiha.'
Kiari felt like crying because the death of her family was brought up again in her thought, but she held back her tears and had her eyes filled with anger. She then crumpled the note into a paper ball and tossed it into the air as she shredded it into pieces with her sharp nails.
'Itachi Uchiha, I accept your challenge of becoming my clan's avenger. My anger and determination will cover my sadness and pain.' Kiari thought as she continued to walk to her apartment. 'I swear, I will kill you Itachi and avenge my clan's death.'
As the years have gone by, Kiari trains on a daily basis to become strong enough to kill Itachi, and still has time to hang out with her best friend Naruto. She starts to change throughout the year by her looks, strength, attitude, and abilities. Kiari's goal remains the same, and she starts to have a disliking towards a boy named Sasuke, who seems to be related to Itachi. It's too bad that she doesn't know that Sasuke's an avenger as well.
Yay! I finally started working on my first fanfic at last. Since this is my first fanfic, I'd appreciate it if you left a reveiw about the story.
