Hello, this is my first fanfic so please be nice. I have a lot of stuff to get right before I publish this so hopefully It's correct! Sorry I made the flashback kinda long. It was important though.


I thought I was safe. I truly thought I was safe, but I would soon find out about how wrong I was. Suddenly the tree I was hiding in wrapped some roots around my lower half and the bark spread on my arms. I screamed in fear as I heard a malicious laugh. I knew it was the man chasing me, but as he came out his partner didn't appear. Where was he? Why are they doing this? I thought as I struggled against the tree. The man looked at me in amusement as I began to cry as the bark tore at my skin, exposing some bright red flesh. It was so hard to believe that a few moments ago I was playing kickball with some friends and a few hours before that I was with daddy.

-FLASHBACK-

"Hikari come here" Dad ordered. I stopped running in a circle and ran to him instead and stopped in front of him. He suddenly picked me up by the waist and threw me in the air. At first I was surprised, but as I was in the air I began smiling and giggling. When he caught me we both laughed and he set me down. Our silver hair blew as the wind picked up. Dad looked at the sky, his hair glistened in the sunlight. I knew my Dad was strong, but how strong was he?

"Hikari I want to give you something, as a birthday present. You're turning 6 tomorrow remember?" He asked. I nodded and smiled as he smiled back at me. He gave me a pouch, a light one that was red an and had beautiful gold flowers in it. Inside it was a pink pearl bracelet. In between each pearl was a round silver cylinder with small diamonds encrusted on it. He pointed to a place where two letters where engraved. 'H.H'

"What does this mean?" I asked him.

"Your initials, mine are on the other side, see?" He said as he turned it over and sure enough the initials were there. 'K.H'.

"So if you ever lose it you'll know it's yours" He said and smiled behind his mask, though I could tell what he was feeling through his eyes, sadness. I hugged him and started crying.

"What's wrong Hikari?" He asked.

"I'm really happy, but I'm also really sad" I said in between sobs.

"Sad?" He asked confused.

"We both know it's more than a birthday gift" I said. His eyes widened in surprise, and then softened as he pulled me into a tight embrace.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

"Why don't we have some fun?" The man in front of me said. He grabbed a shuriken from a pouch wrapped around his leg and came close to me. Salty tears(They really do taste salty!) ran fast against my cheek and chin as he slowly walked closer to me.

"I'm about to give you something to really cry about" He said in a dark voice full of hatred, he had blood lust in his eyes and I knew I would die if someone didn't save me soon. He slipped his blade across my face and at first I though he had missed but blood rushed from a cut on my left cheek. Pain then came and I screamed in fear, desperation, and pain mixed together. I struggled to break free from the tree that had bound me here, but I was only 5 years old, what could I do? It didn't work and I prayed for my father or someone, anyone to come save me.

"Scream for you father, though he can't save you! NO ONE CAN!" He screeched and took a long sword from his back. The next thing I knew I screamed as the blade cut through my stomach, my chest and finally came out of my shoulder leaving a giant gash, if it ever healed it would leave a scar for sure. Dad told me about scars before when I asked him about his. He had one on his left eye, though Iruka had a long one from cheek to cheek and covered a sliver of his nose. I shuriken whizzed past me and exploded, making the tree branches let go of me. I tried to stand up, but searing pain rushed over me and I screamed. I felt like I was on fire as the sensation spread from my chest to ny arms and legs. Dad came over to me as did a few ninja, I recognized Iruka, but the other I didn't know.

"Guy, take Hikari to the medical center immediately, while I deal with this" Dad said and stood up to face the horrid man who hurt me.

"Orochimaru" Dad hissed with anger.

"Ah, Kakashi Hatake. What a surprise, you came too late though. That sword was poisoned. Even if she survived the lack of blood loss, which I doubt she would, she will die of the poison" He said in a dark voice and laughed. Was that the burning sensation that I felt? I felt myself being carried bridal style by someone familiar, though it wasn't Iruka. He was a good friends of my dad Kakashi, though the arms I felt were more muscular and stronger. I felt myself dift away into darkness and heard yelling, but ignored it. The pain in my chest left, but my cheek still hurt. My eyes blurred and the last thing I saw was my dad.


Hope you enjoyed it Review please!
