Discalaimer: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO!! I hate having to say that. But then again, I DO own my OC's. YAY!!
"It may not be normal to any of us, but I'm afraid it's your destiny." the elder said. He placed his on my stomach, and I felt a searing pain shoot straight up to my head. I screamed. I had no idea what was happening to me. I thought I was dying. I clutched the sides of the hospital bed, trying not lash out. Suddenly, I just passed out.
I woke in my own bed at home. I was sweating, and my eyes were wide. Randomly, I just broke down and sobbed. I must have been loud, because my mother came into my room and tried to comfort me.
"Sssh... It's OK, Mori, it happened years ago. It's all over. You're fine." she whispered.
"N-No. It's still happening. I can't get rid of it!" I cried. The dream I'd had wasn't actually a dream. It was a memory. An elder of my family, the Shima's, placed a demon inside me, and the process unexpectedly fused our spirits, which turned me into a demon. It was not supposed to be painful, but the elder had made a mistake. I can't remember what he'd done wrong, but it still haunts me to this day. Since I'm now a demon, I have the attributes of the demon that was placed inside me. I now have the ears and tail of a fox (My hair is indigo with white tips and streaks, so my ears and tail are indigo with white tips and streaks.), fangs, & amber eyes (They used to be blue.)
The next morning, after I'd done some chores, I went outside. I saw a few people, but not many. I went to the training grounds to find my team. Sabaku and Raiki Maguro were already sparring, while Kinomi-sensei was watching them.
"Hi, guys!" I said as I came up to them. Sabaku and Raiki stopped sparring.
"Oh, hey, Mori-chan!" the twin boys said. They had white hair and green eyes. They had been my best friends since before I became what I am.
"What's wrong, Mori? You look a little shaken up." Raiki said with concern.
"I just... I had that dream again last night." I said sadly.
"Are you OK?" Sabaku asked. He, too, was concerned.
"Yeah! Of course! Why wouldn't I be?" I said happily.
"OK, guys and girl, I have some news," Kinomi-sensei said cheerfully. The three of us gathered around. "The Chuunin exams are coming up, and if all three of you want to participate, then we're all going to Konoha!"
Raiki, Sabaku and I looked at her with excitement.
"The Leaf Village? Really? I've always wanted to go there!" I said enthusiastically.
"So, if you're willing to participate, then raise your hand," Kinomi-sensei said. All three of us raised our hands. "Great! Now, you need to fill out these forms, then return them to me tomorrow morning." As we took a form each, she smiled at our enthusiasm.
At home, I showed Oka-san and Oto-san the form.
"Oh, Mori! I'm so proud of you!" Ota-san exclaimed.
"You go fill it out, Sweety." Oka-san said. I ran to my bedroom, grabbed a pen, and filled out the form. I was so excited! I'd finally get to see Etsuko-shimai again! She'd been living in Konoha for a few years, and we were both sad about her leaving. We didn't know when she'd be back. But now, she didn't have to come back to Yuki no Kuni. Because I'd be going to her! Although, we wouldn't be leaving for two days.
The next day, I was at the training grounds waiting for Kinomi-sensei and the twins to arrive. I sat there, staring at the sheet of paper folded in my hands. A little while later, Kinomi-sensei arrived.
"I filled out the form, Sensei." I said.
"Parents' signatures?" she asked.
"You know it!"
"Hi! Sorry we're late. Raiki slept in." Sabaku explained as the boys approached.
"Yeah. Sorry about that."
"Do you both have your forms?" Sensei asked them.
"Of course we do!" they exclaimed.
"Parents' signatures?"
"Always!" Raiki said.
"Perfect! Guess what, my Genin students?"
"What?" we asked in unison.
"WE'RE ALL GOING TO KONOHA!!" she shouted.
"YEAH!!"
The rest of the day passed by quickly, and before I knew it, Friday had come. I woke up, got dressed, ate breakfast, and took my bag out to the door. I sat nervously at the kitchen table waiting for my parents to get ready. When they were finally ready, they walked with me to the village gates.
"Gambatte, Mori. Come back as a Chuunin." Oka-san said tearfully.
"I hope you do great. Say hello to Etsuko for us, OK?" Oto-san asked.
"Of course." I said, trying not to cry.
"OK, Mori-san, we have to go." Kinomi-sensei said.
"Hai, Sensei," I turned back to my parents. "I'll see you both in a couple of weeks, OK?"
"Abolutely." Oka-san said, bending down to hug me.
"Ja mata!" I called as we walked out of the gates.
