Prologue: Opening of the Mysterious Girl
I watched the battle of Naruto and Sasuke rage on, when out of nowhere, somebody stood behind me, hidden in the shadows, with a knife… splattered in… blood? But they just stood there… crying. Then, a scream sounded with sorrow and shock. I turned in the direction that it came from, then I looked back… the mysterious girl had disappeared. I was extremely confused and frightened, so I ran home. As soon as I got to the Leaf village, I went around checking all the houses for the source of the scream, but as I slowly approached my home, I heard someone weeping, someone like…Kasumi! I glanced quickly at Kasumi, then… I stood in shock.
"Wh- what- what happened here?" she glanced at me for a moment.
"Emi answer m-." she cut me off, grasping my arm.
"Hiroko... you know that your mother, Saki, possessed the power of the nekomata, Sengen right?" she said in a deep and hurt gasp. I replied to her… mumbling,"Uh… yeah, so what is it?" Pausing, before she said anything, gulping…
"Her demon got loose out of her control and detached from her soul…then…it…IT DESTROYED YOUR PARENTS SOULS!" How quickly and tearfully I stood, then sobbed."Ma-mama… and Pa-pa… NOOOOOO! This can't be happening! No, it's not true! You're lying to me… don't lie to me…Kasumi!"
The mysterious girl quietly stood, watching every waking moment… then vanishing back into the cold, dark shadows," Why did I… do… this?" she ran off, quietly sobbing through the shadows.
