Story of an Angel, Chapter One.

Her name was Shiomi. Shiomi Eriko Hyuzuchi, called Ashley by those who she was close to. Aged 23, she never grew a day older than 19. Yeah, she died. Once. Luckily her sister was able to find her, although it was too late. A way unknown brought her back. Shiomi, the re-incarnation of Lady Chiyo of the Sand Village, possessed the One's own Life revival jutsu. She can use her own life to bring back someone else's.

Her parents. Angelique and Miroku. Miroku passed on his Wind Tunnel to Shiomi, instead of her brother, Raiden. Angelique made Shiomi an Angel. Of course, Shiomi didn't know of this until long after her parents were dead. They were murdered. As was her brother. Raiden was killed in the ANBU by the leader of that platoon. She was only 2 at the time. After he passed, her parents knew that they were next, Shiomi did not. A year later, she's witnessing a house, her home, being burned. Her mother had her head cut off by this man who looked exactly like her father. Before that, though, she remembers the last things her mother said...

**(Shiomi POV)**

I was taken into my parent's bedroom. I had only been in there sometimes, when I had bad dreams while I slept. My mommy closed the door behind me and locked it, she looked at me with complete fear in her eyes and kept her voice at a shaky whisper..

"Shiomi, honey, that man isn't daddy."

"B-But mommy-"

"Hush.. I want you to listen to me, baby. That man only looks like daddy. I have a feeling something bad happened to daddy, and this man did that bad thing. I think he wants to do the same thing to mommy.."

"Mommy, no! I won't let that happen!"

"There's nothing you can do, Shiomi. When that man comes in here-" I heard a forceful bang on the door. "When he comes in here, I want you to run, as fast as you can. Head to the village and for Town Hall, tell the Hokage what happened here and run right past this man, get a good look at his face, understand?"

I nodded and my mother, she was crying, more than I've ever seen since my brother died. She kisses my forehead and that moment alone seemed to last forever. Before I knew it, the door was burst open. The man who looked exactly like my dad was there, katana in hand, grabbed my mother and pulled her close to him. She refused to struggle, and I smelled smoke, lots of it. I stared at my mother, who had a smile on her face. She smiled at me and mouthed "I love you.." before the man, who I remember so well by the two scars on his cheek which was the only thing seperating his looks from my dad's, sliced my mother's head straight off her shoulders. I didn't cry, and I had nowhere to run. He began walking toward me, slowly, as if trying to comfort me before I fell to my own death. I backed away from him, slowly. The time seemed like an eternity before I turned and jumped out of my parent's two-story window. Landing on my feet thanks to my dad teaching me how so early on, I watched my house, the only home I ever knew, burn. The man escaped, I don't know how. He escaped and, following my mother's directions, I ran straight toward Konohagakure, which I haven't been to my entire life..

**(Author POV)**

Shiomi eventually made it to Konoha, having no idea where anything was, she noticed a huge building with the Village's seal on it, which she only saw on her brother's headband. Deciding that must be Town Hall, she ran inside, pushing past adults and following signs that led to the office of the leader of the village, the Hokage.. She burst in, noticing that nothing was going on at the time. The Hokage, Lord Third, Also known as Hiruzen Sarutobi, who looked no older than in his thirties, looked at Shiomi, first in confusion, then with welcome.

"Hello, little one. Looking at you, you seem to be a Hyuzuchi, are you not?"

Shiomi, being brought up as an adult, nodded and sat on his desk so she could see him better.

"Yeah, Hokage-sama, I'm Shiomi!" She smiled briefly, the thought of her mother still in her mind.

"What brings you here, Shiomi? How are your parents?"

This question made her look away for a minute, a sad expression washed over her without permission.

"M-My mommy sent me here.. S-She told me to tell you what happened earlier.." Before she knew it, tears were welling up in her eyes, something she couldn't fight.

Hiruzen took little Shiomi into his arms, setting her on his lap.

"What happened earlier, little one?"

"My p-parents.. They're both.." Before she could say anything else, tears were streaming down her cheeks and she shook her head, unable to say anymore. Instead, she pointed out the window toward smoke. Nothing but smoke. Of course, that was her home, no longer could she live there. The Hokage noticed this smoke and shook his head, already understanding the whole situation.

"Oh my.. Shiomi, I'm terribly sorry for what happened.."

Shiomi simply looked at him, her blue eyes full of sorrow, and smiled as to hide that.

"Don't worry, H-Hokage-sama! I'll be fine!"

And with that, Shiomi jumped out of Hiruzen's lap, running out of the building, and to her house, sitting under a tree directly in front of it. Once there, she just threw her head in her hands.

She cried until her eyes were out of tears.

Well, that's it. Chapter one, completed. I know, it may be short. Oh well, Chappy #2 is gonna be awesome~
