Chapter 1

I ran knowing I wouldn't get far with my small little legs supporting me. However I had to get away or else something bad would happen. Run, I told myself. Run far and don't stop. Everything seemed to blur together when tears started to build up in my eyes. It was hard to tell where I was going but even though my body was screaming at me to stop I kept going further and further. The leaves rustled with the wind blowing through the branches of giant trees that have surrounded me. I looked back only once and I had tripped as a result. A sharp pain went up my leg as I turned onto my back and sat up. I grabbed my knee and tucked it towards my chest. I felt a warm liquid run between my fingers as I finally let the tears fall down my face. I watched as they hit the ground and was sucked into the dirt as if though the earth was thirsty for my tears. I heard a grunt and looked up in horror as I tried to back away. The man towered over me and smiled an evil smile that showed sharp teeth.

"Now then little one, are you prepared to die?" He crept closer and his boots made the twigs and grass snap under his massive weight.

I felt the hardness of a tree on my back and knew I was cornered. "P-Please, don't hurt me."

The tears had gotten worse as he reached a hand out towards my head and smiled even bigger. I closed my eyes hoping for something quick and painless. I heard the man curse which brought my eyes to open. The man had a look of anger now as he moved to help himself up from the ground. A figure clad in red stood between me and him. The figure was definitely female as she laughed and spoke to the man.

"Give up already, taking this child's life will do you no good."

The man stood and brushed himself off, "You Scorch bastards always know when to get in our way don't you?"

The woman nodded, "Well, of course how else are we going to get rid of you?"

He growled and leaped towards her. I opened my mouth to scream but nothing came out. Suddenly I felt warmth on my head and had to shield my face from the fire which engulfed the woman. She should've screamed or yelled in pain but instead she lifted her hand and grabbed the man by the throat. He struggled a bit but then stopped. He laughed lowly and looked her dead in the eyes.

"Get ready because this is only the beginning. He's coming for you all and he will rule!"

The fire spread quickly from her arm to the man's entire body. Within a minute he had been completely reduced to ash. The fire had died out and the woman reappeared. She was fine; not one burn on her body.

"So he was just another lackey, how weak."

As if suddenly remembering I was there she turned towards me and smiled gently. A new set of tears started to pour out of my eyes. She kneeled down to my level and went into her pocket to take out a tissue. She wiped at my face and then went to clean my bleeding leg. She hummed as she did so and even after everything I just saw I smiled a bit. She finished and looked at me.

"It's going to be okay, I promise."

"I-I-…"

She nodded and shushed me, "Shhh, I know it was scary but he's gone now."

I wiped at my eyes and looked down and saw something catch the light of the full moon. The woman had picked me up and cradled me to her chest. Since she cradled me so close I was able to find a dog tag that lay right below the hollow of her neck. It was silver with red etchings on it. The red was formed to look like a fire with the word SCORCH inside it. She stopped and set me down on the ground after we left the woods which I thought would be my grave. She patted my head and smiled warmly at me.

"It's okay, soon you won't know or remember what had happened. You'll live a happy carefree life once again. I'm happy to have met you…um?"

"H-Hinata."

She nodded, "I'm happy to have met you Hinata."

I was about to respond but then slowly my eyelids felt heavy. I couldn't resist as I was engulfed into darkness. I heard voices surround me, calling my name in panic. I felt like I slept for hours but when I opened my eyes again I saw the moon still high in the sky. Something dashed out of my vision and left me with the memory of something silver and red as relieved arms encircled me. Feeling secure I mumbled two words and took my place of dimness.

"Thank you."

11 YEARS LATER

I sat at my desk and started to sketch the dog tag once again. Now being seventeen I barely remember what happened to me when I was six. According to my dad I had walked off looking for something. I was then kidnapped but somehow was able to get away. How I remember it was that I was kidnapped and… that was it. I woke up the next day with a headache and a faint memory of a dog tag from my savior. Red and silver were all that popped up and since then I've tried to recreate it but it never seems to look right. I sighed and gave up for the day and stored the paper inside my bottom drawer. Over the years my failed drawings were always stashed away there because I felt if I could figure out why it doesn't look right then I can actually know what the necklace will be. I've obsessed over finding my savior so I can thank that person for giving me another chance at life.

It's been a rather good life. My father was great and my little sister was always someone I could count on. My family wasn't overly close but not completely distant either and we would never hate one another. It took years to finally get where I am with father and Hanabi but it was worth it. I was more confident because of it and also because I have an amazing best friend who, thanks to her, got rid of my nervousness. I don't stutter as much like I used to however I do when I'm really nervous or embarrassed. On the other hand my friend is always outgoing and loud but caring and soft when needed. We've been friends since I moved into town here in Konoha and our friendship would never change.

I stretched my muscles when I leaned back in the chair. I glanced at my clock and sighed. School started in thirty minutes and I should at least shower before leaving. I stood up and walked into my private bathroom and turned on the water. Making sure the water temperature was to my liking I started to undress. I stepped in and groaned in bliss. I had another nightmare last night but that's nothing new. I usually got them and could never go back to sleep. It always involved some dark voice saying 'He's coming for you all and he will rule.' It always gave me chills every time I thought about it but I couldn't tell anyone, even my best friend. They thought I had controlled them by now and I just let them believe that so they don't worry too much.

After about fifteen minutes I turned off the water and stepped out of the shower. I wrapped a towel on my body and grabbed a smaller one to dry my hair a bit. Not paying attention I walked into my room and almost screamed when I saw movement. My friend's laughter filled the room.

"Calm down Hinata I'm not that much of a perv."

I rolled my eyes as I went to my closet, "No of course not Ino, you're more of a stalker if anything."

Ino put on a shocked face and pretended to look hurt. "Ah! My heart is breaking, just totally broke my heart. Why don't you stomp on it some more by telling me that I sneak into people's rooms while they shower."

I stared at her, "Uh, Ino. You did do that."

She seemed to think about this for a while then shrugged as if it didn't matter. She sat on my bed as she waited for me to get dressed. She crossed her long, toned legs and leaned back on her hands. Her blond hair moved to the side a bit as she shifted. Her hair had been done up in her usual style of a high ponytail and a section of hair covering half her face. Her outfit was really simple with a purple tank and jean shorts that reached mid-thigh. She always looked like a model, even when she's wearing ratty clothes it seemed as though she was posing for a photo shoot. I felt nervousness creep up on my mind and I started to blush a bit. Ino, noticing this, smirked.

"Don't tell me you've fallen for me already?"

I groaned and turned away blushing even darker now. "That's not what I was thinking."

"Oh, too bad. I'm really awesome after all and if it's you I wouldn't mind you falling for me," she turned her head towards me and winked. "So what were you thinking about?"

"Just how some girls would give up their first born child to have a body like yours."

She snorted and gestured towards me. "I really think they want one more like yours because you have a chest at least. I am only this sad shadow compared to you."

I laughed and buttoned my jeans before going towards her and doing a little twirl. She whistled and looked me up and down deliberately.

"Yeah, it's official, I would kill people if they thought of groping you before I did."

I shook my head and grabbed my backpack from the floor. We always had conversations like this. Where we joked all the time and didn't hold back because of embarrassment. As we walked down the stairs I looked around and saw it was empty. Father usually took Hanabi, my sister, to early classes and I walked since my school was closer. Ino and I… well not so much. We left my house five minutes before school started and my house was at least an eight minute walk from the school. It's not like we didn't care we just knew that our teacher would forgive us since we're good kids.

"Oh boy late again it seems," Ino chuckled.

"That's not a thing we should laugh about."

Ino just waved her hand to dismiss my comment. When we finally walked through the doors I felt this weird chill crawl down my back. I turned quickly but saw nothing. Ino who finally noticed I wasn't next to her, stopped.

"What's up? Come on we don't want to test the patience of Asuma."

I did a quick scan before turning and following Ino into the first class of the day. Somehow, I hadn't noticed a shadow creep out from behind the school doors.

I lazily wrote notes down as the teacher taught his lesson for the day. Suddenly the door opened and in walked two new kids I've never seen before. Asuma stopped and waited, looking at them. The one with brown wild hair gave him a slip and smiled a toothy grin. I looked to the other one and was immediately greeted with a glare. His red hair stood out above all else. He had the hairstyle that laid carelessly against his head and covered something on his forehead. I wanted to look closer but his glare said if I did I would be in big trouble. I looked back to the other guy and saw red upside down triangles on his cheeks. Comparing them I felt like the brown haired one was more like a wild boy while the other was a loner. What they did have in common was that they were… well hot. No, maybe more gorgeous. Like unnaturally sexy guys with chiseled facial features and toned muscular bodies type of thing. I swear a girl fainted from swooning too hard. I looked next to me and that was the clincher. Ino was in full on dazed fan girl dreamland. She was practically drooling with her mouth hung open and blushing darkly. Ino would never be like this with normal guys. The teacher cleared his throat and snapped everyone's attention to him.

"This is Kiba Inuzuka," he gestured to the wild boy, "and this is Gaara Sabaku." The boy with red hair kept his face pretty emotionless when he was introduced. These boys were weird and I could tell I was the only one thinking this because of the many whispers of hope that the boys could sit next to them. I frowned wondering what was with everyone. Yeah, they were hot but so what? They seemed odd nonetheless and I was determined to stay away and I would make sure Ino wouldn't get involved either. After the initial shock of the new kids they ended up sitting right behind me. So much for staying away. I faced forward and focused hard on the lesson. I couldn't help feeling two pairs of eyes on me the whole time. Why did this have to happen to me?

Yay! Done with the first chappie and still much more to come! This is the most I've ever written for a single chapter. I can't wait to see what will happen next.
